SENIOR CLASS HISTORY T HERE came from the farms, towns, hills and moun- tain tops in the fall of 1925, fifty-eight Freshmen. In the Frosh Mixer these entrants became full-fledged stu- dents of the Arlington High. To show their gratitude for the Mixer they entertained the Sophs at a party which was so successful that their social career for the future was assured. The Sophomore year was filled with diligent study to overcome the “flunks” made in the first year. The most important event of the Junior year was the Junior Prom. The beautiful decorations, lively music, color- ful gowns, to say nothing of the delicious punch, made it a memorable occasion. In the Campus Day competition they won first and were rewarded by an extra period at noon. Junior picnic was held at Deception Pass, a supposed advancement over Lake Stevens, the usual picnic grounds of the underclasses. In the fall of 1928 the Seniors started with “vim, vigor, and vitality” and made their last year a success. They again won Campus Day and were accordingly award- ed a period during school time which they spent at Terrace Park. In many activities such as Debate, Declamatory, Ath- letics, and Dramatics the Seniors took the lead. The Senior Play, “Second Childhood”, was one of their most successful achievements. As a reward for four years of hard work they enjoyed to the utmost that privilege of privileges, SENIOR SNEAK!

CLASS PROPHECY It has come to pass that the veil of the future hath been ren in twain. Lis- ten to the sayings from the lips of the great prophet! But listen! for even now he speaks. Hear no! Look! Listen, ye men, women and small children of Arlington, to the worlds of your prophet! Thus sayeth the prophet: “I can see our beloved class president. Yea. even as today. I can see him. principal of our high school, for his ambition has led him upward and onward so that his words are heeded by all. He is a great success.— “As I look again I can see among the motion picture celebrities a very great stage manager, one who as a High School student was always playing around the stage. I see him now telling Davy Lee how to improve his stage presence and per- sonality—Allen Spraggins. “What is this I see in he society circles of Oso? An exceedingly dignified lady. What! ho! She is president of the Ladies’ Circle and a very worthy one— Bessie Cyran. “Now I am looking into a large Cathedral in that thriving metropolis, Silvana, where a stately priest in his dignity pours forth words of inspired instruction. Verily it is John Heaton himself. “Oh! what a fine family have we here. As the door swings open there can be seen a contented household made happy by a mother whose greates ambition is that highest of all worldly vocations—the maker and keeper of a home—Grace Miller. “As the light of this happy home fades away I see a great university—at the large desk in the office of the head of the Latin department is a scholarly, dignified gentleman who appears to be a very strict dean—Harry Caesar Hanson. “Look here! What is this we see in the far distant country of Denmark? Lawrence Sessoms, first valet to King Perry! “A glimpse into the business world reveals a great many members of the class. First I see Americas foremost woman taxicab driver. Alma Hodges. Then ap- pears Joy Rutledge, general manager of the Rutledge, Reinseth Dress Borrowing and Loaning Company. “The professions are not being neglected. Lewis Larson is a successful doctor in W. Bowman’s “Elixir Baby Clinic.” “Yea! There stands an orator. He is Ted Mayers, chief radio announcer for KXA. Seattle. “Here is a great musician; he is now playing as a “feature” in Paul Bunyan’s “Hat Band' —Fred “Slidem Some” Kamm. What ho! A fair lady is running for May Queen at Pilchuck—she always did enjoy riding on a float—Louise Shannon. “And what is this? Our old friend Stanley States is strong man in Fingarson and Lang ’s one-ring circus. •There seems to be but one banker in the class. As I see him now he is refusing Mgr. Charles Rolling of the “Green Sox” a loan of $15,000 to buy Al. Lien from the Giants. “As the light grows dim I see Miss Marian Barclay coaching the play “Ninth Childhood” by the famous play wright, Don Lowe.” Ay. the veil is being drawn together before my eyes. The lights grows dimmer and dimmer. May goodness, truth, and propserity come to the talented members of the class of 1929.
