3fl Unitur (Elaas Iflill In the name of God. amen We. the Senior Class of Arlington High School. City of Arlington. County of Snohomish and State of Washington, of the age of lour years, and being of sound and disposing mind and memory and not acting under menace, fraud, ardent spirits or any other spirits, or under the Influence of any person wnatever, do make, publish and declare this our last will and testament, in the manner following: ARTICLE I Certain members of our honored group have requested that certain character traits which they no longer need, but which will compensate for grave deficiencies in certain lower classmen be given to the needy ones. We have not only granted this but allowed each bequeather to write his own will as follows: Section 1. I. Stanley Robinson, do bequeath my girlish giggle to Eunice Bowman. Section 2. I. Andrew Olson, do bequeath my manliness to James Hauschildt. With this added power l believe James will be irresistable to women. Section 3. I. Peggy Shudshift, do bequeath my graceful figure, beautiful blond locks and dancing grace to Helen Verd. Section 4. I. Howard Mickelson. do bequeath my wavy locks to Jack Peterson in order that he may receive full value from the application of Stacomb. Section 5. I. Dorothy Skllllngstad. do bequeath my sweet voice and clear enunciation to Rose Donovan to replace her southern drawl. (Miss Donovan is not. however, an underclassman. Pardon our carelessness.) Section 6. 1. Allene Sampson, do bequeath my baby face to Maxine Stout. Section 7. I. Helmer Ness, do bequeath my magnetic charm to Earl Carnes. I believe this will relieve Earl of worry concerning his grasp on Martha. Section 8. I. Bessie Shequin. do bequeath my athletic build to Lila Aldridge. Section 9. I. Rollen Speer, do bequeath my patent on my very distinctive haircut to Mar- cella Meyers. Section 10. I. Prank Arnot. on account of my Scottish descent, do not wish to give away any of my characteristics unless paid a reasonable price for them. Section 11. I. Everett Bundt. do bequeath my attractiveness in the eyes of Freshmen girls to Charles Mathews, who. trv as he does, cannot wdn the heart of one of those precious fawns. Section 12. I. Sydney Pautzke. do bequeath my good looks, winning smile and tender heart to Leonard Pittman. I do this that Agnes may be loved, cherished and cared for while I am away at college. ARTICLE II Section 1. We. the Senior Class, do bequeath to Anna Lunnum a broadcasting station capable of working on a large variety of wave lengths, enabling Anna to broadcast a message to any stu- dent without disturbing the entire high school. „ ,, Section 2. As a convenience, wc will the services of Robert Boursaw. Oswald Clauson. Rollen Speer and Raymond Prather to install the set. which will arrive at Earnharfs bicycle shop in time xor the fall term. ARTICLE III We the Senior Class, do bequeath to Jack Frame the latest model hand-operated foamite fire extinguisher. The fine quality, tough elastic foam emitted from this instrument will prove of value in offsetting the high coloring which results from a blush and will also offset any tendency of the cuticle to burst into flames because of the heat generated in the blushing process. In the future, when Jack feels a blush coming on. all he need do is reach for the foamite. ARTICLE IV We the Senior Class, do leave to Mack Barnett our beloved class advisor, a contract with John Wrage which we believe will be a godsend to him. The contract demands that Mr. Wrage deliver ten (10) quarts of milk daily to Mr. Barnett’s doorstep. Wo have arranged that delivery start immediately, fearing that he might disappear entirely if the present state of affairs should continue Tor over a fortnight. We also leave him full right to substitute Virginia La Flamboy and Nona Peterson for Dot Skllllngstad and Bessie Shequin for his daily conversation in the halls. ARTICLE V We. the Senior Class, do bequeath Miss Susman a case of Ovaltine. so that Mr. Hartz will not seem such a monster in her dreams. ARTICLE VI We the Senior Class, do bequeath Mr. Hartz. our new' superintendent, a hammer, screwdriver, and pair of pliers. Mr. Hartz will find these instruments indespensible in repairing the master clock located in his new offices. ARTICLE VII We. the Class of 1930. do nominate and appoint Les Williams. President of the Junior Class, as the sole executor of this, our last will and testament. ARTICLE Vm The foregoing Instrument, consisting of 5 pages. Including the page signed by the testater. was at the date thereof by Frank Marsh (representing the Senior Class), the maker thereof, signed in our presence and in the presence of each of us. and at the time of his subscribing to said instru- ment he declared it his will, and at his request and in his presence, and in the presence of each other we have subscribed our names as witnesses thereto. PEGGY SHUDSHIFT. residing at Silvana in .-Aid county. RALPH FRALICK. residing at Haller Avenue, in said city and county.

 bimior (Class liiatnnj In the fall of 1926, one hundred and ten green Freshmen entered the Arlington High School, but after a week of wandering around the halls we finally became accus- tomed to our new surroundings. 1 he first class meeting was held in October. Syd Pautzke was elected President and Dot Skillingstad Vice President. I he painful event of our first year was the Freshmen mixer, which was enjoyed by all upper classmen, but at the expense of the Freshmen. After becoming full-fledged members of the A. H. S. we participated in the ac- tivities of the school, including different clubs and sports. We had the honor of winning second place in the Intercless Basketball tournament. I hen, to show our gratitude for the Mixer, we entertained the Sophs at a successful F reshmen-Sophomore party. When the summer vacation was over, we came back to pursue our studies under the important title of Sophomores. This year Thelma Evans was our President. Sad to say. during this term nothing much of importance happened, because we were deeply en- gaged in our studies. But when spring came, we awoke from our long sleep, and won first place in the Interclass Basketball Tournament. 1 he Junior Year was a peppy one. First, we carried off the banners for Salesman- ship. 1 his was accomplished by getting a high percentage in Associated Student drives and ticket sales. It was a happy day when both Home Rooms, nine and ten, got one- hundred per cent in the Annual Drive. To top all these activities, we again won first place in the Interclass 1 ournament. We had about five letter winners in athletics, in which Carrol Jacobson w'as an inspiration to the rest of the team. 1 o balance our athletic activities we also participated in scholarship awards, thirteen, but not unlucky Juniors belonged to the Torch Society. One of the major events of this term was the Junior Prom, given in honor of the departing Seniors. This proved to be a huge success. In 1929, we returned again to complete our High School career. The Seniors had a major part in athletics, there being ten football lettermen, and five letter winners in basket- ball. 1 hat the third time is a charm proved to be true, because again we won highest in the Interclass Tournament and the Interclass Track. 1 his was also a year of Salesmanship. We had one hundred per cent in the Asso- ciated Student Drive and Annual Sales. The Senior girls showed their dramatic abilities by winning first place in the Girls’ League Vodvil. I he second semester was one of numerous activities. We chose “Expressing Willie for our Senior Play, and it was very successful. I hen after laboring for four years we enjoyed the privileges of going on a Senior Sneak and—Oh, Boy! By FRANK ARNOT Borghild Gilbert Katherine Johnstone 16
