This year, more than ever, music has had an outstanding place in our school activities; there fore desiring to arouse a deeper appreciation of the recreational benefits and patriotic inspiration that it affords we have chosen music as the theme of this, the thirtyseventh volume of the Stilla• guamish Trail. Ill mium This being the eighth year which Mr. Langdon has advised the Editorial Staff of the Annual, we dedicate our book to him. Our Music Department is the inspiration for the theme of the publication, but HARMONY also prevails wherever Mr. Langdon presides. jjjlfjja “Our Stale Bird . . . The Goldfinch’' ru;- Wer� .

The leads in our cast are: Ralph Gunderson—President Elden Hansen—Vice-President Mavis Mathews—Secretary Vance Holland—Treasurer Clarena Fenton—Veil Leader Sidney Bergdahl—Yell Leader Lorraine Larson—Song Leader The play shows rising action as the Frosh begin their first undertaking— a successful assembly with an all-frosh band. The play continues and the frosh really get going by having one football letterman. The first act comes to a fitting end with the freshies giving a Valentine Party for the Sophomores. We now have the audience tense with suspense waiting for the second act of our so far successful play to continue. ACT II Directed by: Frank Albin—President Mariana Nygard—Vice-President Lorraine Larson—Secretary Louis Roberson—Treasurer Ralph Gunderson—Yell Leader Clarena Fenton—Song Leader The play moves along swiftly with the presentation of a Mothers' Tea, the theme being based on St. Patrick's Day. Two of our actresses were seen in the exciting all-school play, Phantom Tiger. We're proud of our sixteen members who received their first bar pins in Honor Society. We showed the school that we really had what it takes when we had one debate letterman, three football lettermen, and two basketball lettermen. The climax of our four bell play comes when the Sophs give a party for the new freshmen. We have now weathered the first two acts, and we feel that we are well on our way to succss. ACT III Again the curtain rises, and this time we see falling action as the Juniors give a lively, rousing pep assembly that really gets the student body in the mood for the game to come. The stars in this act are: Mavis Mathews—President Leland Larson—Vice-President Bernadine Keehn—Secretary Virgil Rogness—Treasurer Mariana Nygard—Song Leader Louis Roberson—Yell Leader As was the custom, we gave a party in honor of the graduating seniors Page Seventeen Senior Class History So far the cast of our play has won no ticket sales, and decided it was time to do something about it. They proved they could by winning the light ticket sale. We were rewarded for our efforts with a party, with refresh- ments and dancing in the cafeteria. The girls walked off with the honors in the Girls' League Mixer and Fun Night. Our audience was awe-struck by the beauty of the Nativity Scene, which won the Mixer for us. We outdid ourselves in the all-school play, Molly O'Shaughnessey, by having five Juniors in the cast, one of which played the leading role. We have now advanced from one football letterman in the first act of our play to six football lettermen, four basketball lettermen, and one debate letterman. The crowning glory in this act was the Junior Prom. It was romantically decorated in pastel colors, with crepe paper butterflies floating in the breeze aroused by the dancers, and we called it our Sweetheart Prom. Many wishes were made that evening in the Wishing Well covered with trailing ivy. And so with the ending of the third act we see continued improvement in the acting of the actresses and actors. ACT IV The final act curtain rises on this so far exciting and thrilling play. The leading characters in this act are: Karl Moll—President Sidney Bergdahl—Vice-President Clarena Fenton—Secretary Jeanne Boivin—Treasurer Louis Roberson—Yell Leader Our cast now proves that they are experienced troupers by taking their little sisters and brothers in hand, and showing them the highlights of the theater where they will soon be presenting their own play. Our seasoned actors now prove that they have reached their goal by having eleven football lettermen, five basketball lettermen, fourteen in honor society, and having all A. S. B. offices filled by them with the exception of one. Following tradition, the Seniors gave a party for the Juniors. Thirty well-trained actresses and actors are seen in the Senior stage hit, When Stars Shine. Again we put ourselves out in the lead by winning the A. S. B. ticket sale. And now the curtain is falling on our play. We now look back with hearts full of precious and maybe a few anxious moments, and we regret to leave it all. We feel that we have given a star performance; and we take our curtain calls with the feeling that in the hearts of our audience lies that same feel- ing. We can now look back at the prompters off stage and thank them for the many hours they have patiently put in that helped us obtain our stardom.

Several interesting speakers talked to the boys on various vocations. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club is made up of 26 girls. Delia Hayden is President; Gladys Jensen, Vice-President, and Maxine Enselman is secretary. The club meets every other Tuesday. In the club the girls are doing individual hand work. It is some kind of work that the girls themselves have chosen. Some are doing embroidery work, knitting and crocheting. New suggestions are brought to the club in which the girls can get new ideas. Miss Jones is the adviser. DRAMATICS CLUB President—Clarena Fenton Secretary—Katherine Megaard With their adviser, Miss Knudson, the Dramatics Club has been working on scenes and one-act plays. We chose four one-act plays and assigned parts to the students belonging to this club. The club is merely for giving the fun- damental basis of acting. All the students have enjoyed participating in this work. LETTERMEN'S CLUB At the beginning of the year the Lettermen's Club initiated several new members. They also sponsored, with the help of the Pep Club Girls, a very successful pep rally, which was held at the depot commons. The officers were: Leland Larson—President Ralph Gunderson—Vice-President Vance Holland—Secretary-Treasurer HONOR SOCIETY The Honor Society had fifty-two members this year. We were happy to have Mrs. Lindgren as our new adviser. This year we gave the annual banquet on December 3, 1943 for the fresh- men who made the honor roll the first time. We also put on our annual assembly for awarding pins. Our officers for the year were: Carol Elefson—President Ralph Gunderson—Vice-President Arietta Hayden—Secretary Jeanne Veilleux—Treasurer Page Thirty-three F. F. A. Although F. F. A. activities have been somewhat curtailed this year regu- lar meetings have been held. We assisted with the scrap drive, the money derived from such being used to promote swine projects.

We drilled for several home basketball games and received many compliments. It was our duty to decorate the goal posts for the home football games March 16th we held a Pep Club Talent Show to earn some money. Tickets sold at two for a nickel, and we had a full house. Everyone enjoyed this show very much. We gave the first Pep Assembly for the Football team. On April ninth we gave our annual Pep Club Tolo. Shoe rationing was the theme. The admission price was double the size of your boy friend's shoe. The decorations were pictures of all kinds of shoes and also war ration stamp No. 17.

Although transportation difficulties were encountered, they were always ready, willing, and able to provide appropriate music for football and basketball games. Under the capable direction of Mr. Ruedi, the band marched and played in an impressive program commemorating Armistice Day. In that program the band formed the letters U. S. and V, which combined with patriotic music, made a deep impression on the audience. Through the efforts of Mr. Ruedi and local organizations, a drive was started to raise money to buy uniforms for the band. Two dances were given to raise part of the money. Many of the local organizations and businesses supported the drive; each donating enough money to buy one uniform. Meanwhile the band was practicing for their concert, which was given March 12. It included an hour and a quarter concert and five vaudeville acts, which were composed of band members. This concert was a good financial success and was considered one of the best concerts ever given by an Arling- ton High School Band. The next band concert was given in April. The proceeds of this concert completed the funds for uniforms. The band, with new uniforms and a background of musical training, should continue to be a success in the years to come. A large amount of the credit should be given to Mr. Ruedi; for it was through his ambition to give Arlington High the best, that we now have such a fine musical organization. Page Thirty-seven Dramatics ALL SCHOOL PLAY A play for girls . . . that seemed the only way out of the difficulty arising from war conditions when the an- nual all-school play was to be selected. 'The Ghost of Rhodes Manor , a mystery play by Jean Lee Latham, proved a happy choice. This play took place in a liv- ing room of Rhodes Manor which was the home of Mrs. Rhodes. There were many thrilling and ex citing experiences in finding the culprit to this mystery play, which served as a surprise at the end. Marcia Stone............... Alda Iverson...............

Sometimes high school stars get the idea they are indispensable and should be stars in college, too; then they meet Disaster. So it was when Gene Robbins went off to play football in college. Football is training for life, said his mother. It teaches them to act under excitement, to make quick decisions, to take commands, to be alert, to take hard knocks. Grandma Campbell, who doubted it, wouldn't let Peggy, her granddaughter, go to college until she was convinced that college is more than rah rahs and football. The fun and the work of college life are well portray ed in this play. These seniors had parts in it— Elden Hansen, Karl Moll, Bernadine Keehn, Mariana Nygard, Deen Mor- ris, Jane Murphy, RosalindSwalling, June Cohoon, Mavis Mathews, Shir- ley Lamp, Evelyn Almli, Ralph Gun- derson, Norma Peterson, Clarena Fenton, Frank Cyra, Tom Cum- bow, Stanley Boyer, Lorraine Lar- son, and Evelyn Conto. Two Fresh- men—Lyle Vick and Lucille Stortz were borrowed for children's parts.

Football Every worthwhile cause is accomplished by dull routine and drudgery. There is nothing romantic about mud, grass drill, practice tackling and block- ing. But the team that sticks to it and learns the hard way usually comes out on top. If the hard work is left out Friday afternoon is a nightmare. This fine gang of boys started out to harden up the middle and they kept it up right to the end of the season. This groundwork is bound to help in seasons to come. The spirit was excellent all through the season. If battles are won the hard way so are football games. Perhaps the bright spot of the season was the Anacortes game in which the Eagles scored an upset over the heavy Skagit County team The Mt. Ver- non game was well played by both teams and only unfortunate penalties at the wrong time prevented the Arlington team from winning. Sedro-Woolley came out with the greatest luck, scoring a touchdown in the last twenty-seven seconds to tie up the game. The last half of the Marysville game saw the Eagles pull up on even terms and had the time allowed another play or two the game might have been won. The win over Monroe was expected. Bur- lington was defeated by a single touchdown in a rather dull game. After being outplayed the entire game Edmonds put over a lucky touchdown very late in the game to win. The most disappointing game was with Snohomish but the visitors deserved to win. They were having a good day and the Eagles were out of stride Next season should find a good team at Arlington. Several of the boys will return and they already have ambitions to go places.

(Not in picture—Louis Cole) Basketball With a County Championship to defend and with few lettermen to build around, the Eagles were under pressure from the start. Gunderson, Hansen, Cyra, and Cole, all lettermen, were available along with several others of lesser experience. Due to a little difficulty, a few men failed to get into the first games. Consequently, the team lost two games which might have been won with full force on hand. If games won is the criterion, the season was successful. Nineteen foes fell before the Eagles. Two tournaments were won. The County Champion- ship fell our way again. Our traditional foe, Marysville, felt the sting of defeat six times but finally whipped us. No doubt the finest feature of the season was the great spirit among the players. The school is indebted to the lettermen for this fin spirit and sports- man ship. Earning letters were: Gunderson, Lampley, Hansen, Hatley, Cyra, Hammer, Cole, Ronning, Eric Johnson, Gunn, and Moll. Among the players receiving special mention on the all-star rating were Gunderson, Hatley, Moll, Hansen, and Cyra. Cyra was voted best team player and Moll honorary Captain. Several good men will return next year: Lampley, Hatley, Hammer, Ron- ning, Eric Johnson, and Gunn. Added to these should be Hawley, Valen, Fingarson, Reece, Ben Johnson, Boyer, Rayburn, who now have the experience to help out a lot. —Coach Gunn Page Forty-two BASKETBALL SCORES PRACTICE GAMES Burlington .30 Arlington. 32 Marysville .25 Arlington 30 Darrington .26 Arlington 21 Darrington .13 Arlington... 29 Burlington .30 Arlington 21 Everett 42 Arlington 26 18 Arlington. ... 36 Lake Stevens .20 Arlington 41 23 Arlington 41 Sultan .34 Arlington 42 Stanwood ... .18 Arlington. 23 Everett 37 Arlington 25 East Stanwocd .17 Arlington 46 Marysville .15 Arlington 25 LEAGUE GAMES Monroe 33 Arlington 51 Edmonds 21 Arlington 40 Marysville 33 Arlington 51 27 Arlington 20 Edmonds 22 Arlington 54 Monroe 25 Arlington 45 Marysville 27 Arlington 43 33 Arlmaton ...31 COUNTY TOURNAMENT 31 Arlington 54 45 Arlington . .66 19 Arlinaton 21 NORTHWEST DISTRICT TOURNAMENT 43 Arlington 39 Marysville 33 Arlington 29 Page Forty-three BASEBALL Despite unfavorable weather, the baseball team got an early start this season. About twenty-five answered first call including several lettermen. Stanwood was defeated in the first game rather easily 9-1, followed by defeats of Mt. Vernon 7-5, 7-4, and 6-3. Everett lost twice to the Eagles 6-3, and 10-3. Holland and Bergdahl had little trouble taming the Culls. Arlington downed Marysville with scores of 5-0 and 12-7. A win and a loss to Sedro-Woolley accounts for all early season games. The scores were 3-1, and 4-5. The battery staff at present lines up Holland, Bergdahl, Thompson, Burns, McClarnan, and Prather as pitchers. Hatley and Aberge handle the catching The regular infield consists of Gunderson, Knutson, Davis and Ronning. Albin, Cole, Hansen, and Nordby hold down outfield positions. With the thorough groundwork laid by Coach Curry Mitchell, last year, the team should be a winner. An encouraging feature is the way the boys step into tough spots and deliver. An example was the fine pitching by Hansen and Thompson against Mt. Vernon, and the first base play of Cole against Sedro-Woolley. TRACK Track is doing a comeback at the home of the Eagles. Following the tra- dition of former great Arlington track teams the boys are turning out in con- siderable numbers. So far seventy one are enrolled in the physical fitness program. This consists of five track events with points for performance. This fine support is bound to be reflected in better teams in football and basketball as well as track. TENNIS Tennis is of quite unknown quality at the time of writing due to bad weather. Several matches are being scheduled with other county teams. The personnel of the squad is unknown, but several boys have signed up for the game.

Front Row—Vernice Vick, Jeanette Lundberg, Mavis Mathews, Jean Lampley, Elizabeth Soper, Betty Grimm. GIRLS ATHLETICS The girls sports this year were not as extensive as in past years due to tire and gas rationing. However, we made the best of it here at school. The first game we played was kick ball. The third period had the winning team. The next game was volley ball. Not only did we play this in class, but we had intramural games also. The Juniors won the championship.

Ping pong was played all year. There were two tournaments. Betty Grimm won the first one and Anne Murphy won the second. Baseball, track, and tennis and badminton will be played in the spring. Page Forty-five ARLINGTON STUDENTS' WAR RECORDS SHOW THEY ARE DOING THEIR PART Military experts have said that the war will be won on the home front Active in the campaign at home are the nation's school children, and en- thusiasm has been credited for the success of every drive from the sale of bonds and stamps to the collection of rubber and scrap metal. Their accomp- lishments of the 1943 school year can best be indicated by their deeds as re- ported by Mr. Henning. Arlington High School students have done, and are doing, much to aid the war effort. They have purchased bonds and stamps in large amounts. Money, which, in the gay, carefree, pre-war days, went exclusively to dances, shows, and other luxuries, now goes to the purchase of war bonds and stamps Weekly contests, starting in November, were conducted between the home rooms with a blue and gold banner for the weekly winner. Also a part of the contest was to have one hundred percent purchase of stamps by the home rooms. The grand total is, to date, April 15, $2,541.50 and should be well over $3,000 by the end of school. The largest daily sale was on Pearl Harbor Day when $499.10 worth of bonds and stamps were purchased. The Washington Grade School has, to date, purchased $7,507.45 worth of bonds and stamps. In addition to this splendid work the children of that school conducted a drive for scrap metal and rubber. Bryant, Trafton, Lakewood, and Oso district grade schools gave much scrap metal and rubber and bought a good percentage of stamps and bonds. In the high school scrap and rubber drive the students collected twenty- four tons and sold twelve tons at a profit of $90. The War Department has issued courses of study in the following: Fundamentals of Automotive Mechanics, Fundamentals of Machines, Fun- damentals of Shopwork, Fundamentals of Radio and Fundamentals of Elec- tricity. These are being used in connection with regular class work. A regular pre-flight course was inaugurated as the Aeronautics Class. The physical education classes are carrying out a physical fitness program in addition to studying the Red Cross first aid courses. The Home Economics classes are also studying First Aid and Home Nursing. In the annual Red Cross membership campaign our school was enrolled 100 percent and donated $16 to this fund. Many of the high school students are serving as aircraft observers at the observation post atop the school. A busload of eager junior and senior boys crossed the Cascades last fall to help harvest the apple crop of Eastern Washington. Mr. Hartz instructed several boys in learning Radio Code and all the teachers helped with the rationing program . Sixteen senior boys took tests for army or navy officers training. Thus Arlington High School is doing its part to speed VICTORY.

Page Fifty-two Musical History A comprehensive history of the United States could be compiled from the popular music of this country, even though all history books were de- stroyed. By popular we do not mean dance music alone, but songs that have reached the heart, and have been on the lips of the nation. Political sentiments, international relations, new developments, styles and manners of a people are all there—sung by the masses, history preserved for posterity in song. Our very early songs shew by their origins the types of people who were settling new land. Hymns, sailors' sea chanteys, pomp and dances from the European courts comprise the popular music of very early America. When the Revolutionary War began, the colonists had no national hymn. We are told that during the French and Indian War a Dr. Shackburg, in a spirit of mockery, gave to the poorly clad colonial soldiers the words and music of Yankee Doodle. Twenty years later these same militiamen marched lo victory at Lexington to this comical tune. The Star Spangled Banner was composed by Francis Scott Key on the evening of September 13, 1814, during the War of 1812 while a British Fleet was anchored in Chesapeake Bay and he was a prisoner on one of the boats. All through the night the bombardment was kept up, and in the light of the rockets red glare they could see the American flag still waving over the old Fort McHenry. When by the first rays of dawn, he still beheld the glorious banner waving from its accustomed place, Francis Scott Key wrote the words of our national anthem. The United States has one song of peace that reached, not only the hearts of its own people, but also the hearts of the whole world. This is Home Sweet Home, written before the Civil War by John Howard Payne. The well-loved songs of Stephen Foster may be considered the folk-songs of America. Old Folks at Home and My Old Kentucky Home will con- tinue to be loved through the years. The true folk-songs of the South, however, are the plantation songs sung by the slaves, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, Co Down Moses, etc. Many of the songs sung by the belles of a century ago to the tinkling ac- companiement of the harpsicord, were extremely sentimental and often tragic. Be Kind to the Loved Ones at Home, Bell Brandon, and Do They Miss Me at Home are samples of the tear jerkers of the ante bellum days. Under the influence of the emotions excited by the Civil War, Battle Hymn of the Republic, John Brown's Body, Tenting, Before the Battle Mother, Dixie and many others, songs of both North and South, and we have come to love, were composed Then began the Westward Ho! The rugged pioneers whistled Oh Susan- nah as they marched beside covered wagons over prairies, thru mountain passes, alert for Indians—weary and often homesick. In long winter eve- nings the settlers would occasionally gather for a sociable . An old fiddler would tune up, and the evening would end in a Ho-down, the plainsmen swinging their ladies to Turkey in the Straw or Arkansas Traveler. The men who helped lay the tracks for the mechanical marvel, the Iron Horse had their songs too— I've Been Working on the Railroad, The Great Rock Island Route, and Casey Jones, are three of them. Memories of the Cay Nineties brings many a smile. Bird in a Gilded Cage and Ta Ra Ra Ra Boomday recall the sweetheart of the Nineties, Lillian Russell. Daisy Bell or Bicycle Built for Two, In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree, When You and I were Young Maggie and Put On Your Old Grey Bonnet were popular at the turn of the century. The horseless carriage made its appearance about this time, at first a laughing stock—but as it became more and more highly developed and popu- lar a song was dedicated to it, In My Merry Oldsmobile. Meantime in Europe, political unrest was gaining momentum. An arch- duke of Serbia was murdered, and all the hate, bitterness and ugliness of years' gathering were brought to a head. America was still singing along; our won- Page Fifty-three Musical History derful country fast developing and expanding. Skyscrapers were being erect- ed and new inventions perfected. But we were feeling an accelerated pulse. We read of the trouble brewing and were mildly concerned, not knowing what to expect next. Alexander's Rag-Time Band, the father of Jazz was born—a new rhythm, faster tempo—America was aroused. Then war—marching songs, farewells— Where Do We Co From Here Boys? , Till We Meet Again, Over There and a great many others. While the history of the Red Cross organization dated back many years before, it was during this first World War that the Red Cross nurse was re- ferred to as The Rose of No Man's Land but now she is called the Angel of Mercy. After the war we felt the false prosperity which usually preceedes a de- pression. Boom days of 1924 and 1925—short skirts, boyish haircuts, flap- per days— Hi Ho the Merrio, Baby Face, Melencholy Baby and Red Hot Mama. Thud! Depression—wishful songs were then popular— If I Had a Mil- lion Dollars, I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby, and Now's the Time to Fall in Love. About this time the movie developed the vitaphone or talking pictures. Our music of the day records it in If I Had a Talking Picture of You. We were struggling with the bonds of depression when a Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected to the presidency. Hope and confidence was shown in Happy Days Are Here Again. He was elected to a second term and people named their children after him. Remember the Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones hit of 1940? (It is an interesting fact that the words of our A. H. S. Alma Mater song are written to the tune of the Russian National Anthem. ) War clouds again. Der Fureher's Face is causing much trouble Over There. The democracies shut their eyes to it for a while trying desperately to pacify this power-greedy tyrant, but to no avail. England's determined attitude to protect all that is civilized is reflected in The White Cliffs of Dover. America's sentiment was being stirred by Kate Smith's interpertation of Irving Berlin's Cod Bless America but it was not until December 7, 1942 —a blot on history—that America began to fight, resolved to Remember Pearl Harbor and help establish the Four Freedoms to everyone every- where in the world. America, I Love You and America the Beautiful are sung as never before, stirring all to the fact that This Is Worth Fighting For and People Like You and Me realize that each must do his part The tall man with the high hat is shouting Any Bonds Today? to pro- vide the best of everything for our armed forces and speed Marching Through Berlin. The Boogy Woogy Bugle Boy From Company B realizes that This Is the Army and after saying Goodbye Mama, I'm Off to Yoka- homa often writes home Ma, I Miss Your Apple Pies. Every branch of Uncle Sam's forces, including the women's divisions of WAACS, WAVES, SPARS, etc., have their marching songs which spur them on and inspire others to enlist. Regardless of a soldier's rank, to us he is 1A in the Army and A1 in Our Hearts. Belgian Rose of the first World War has a rival in Johnny Doughboy Found a Rose in Ireland. Three Little Sisters love the soldiers, sailors and the marines but the Air Force is Coming In On a Wing and a Prayer, and as we gaze from the observation post it really seems He Wears a Pair of Silver Wings. Little Bo Peep Has Lost Her Jeep, and Doesn't Get Around Much Anymore so no wonder she Ain't Misbehaven'.' but is busy in her Victory garden. As long as There's a Star Spangled Ban- ner Waving Somewhere we know that Rosie the Riveter, will work From Taps to Reveille and do her part to Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammuni- tion. Although dimouts are necessary now, we are looking forward to the time When the Lights Co on Again All Over the World and Our Dream of Tomorrow Comes True.
