hardships, and by using much initiative, the forty-niners came out with a victorious first in the Girls' League Mixer. Because they used their intelli- gence and skill during the second lap of our journey, twenty-one again were awarded membership in the Honor Society. Catching up with the slow caravan ahead of us, we honored them with the Junior-Senior Party. Not to be out- done by the other caravans we challenged them and won the A.S.B. Ticket Sale. Reaching Dramatics Peak we discovered five long-lost forty-niners in the All-School Play. Beginning our descent of Junior Mountain we found twenty forty-niners off on Pep Club Path and seven on Hi-Y Trail. Before reaching the bottom, we sneaked off the trail secretly and struck a gold mine which we called our Junior Prom or April in Paris . This was run by foreman Bill Montgomery and his band. SENIORS Leading our caravan into our destination of Senior City were Mack Smith, president, Barry Boyden, vice-president, Betty Udeen, secretary, Clause Nel- son, treasurer, lvan Bjorn, yell leader, and Miss Gladys West, advisor. Just outside Senior City the Indian tribe of the Athletics made another daring attack, but were beaten by twelve football Iettermen, six basketball Iettermen, nine baseball Iettermen, six track lettermen and two in tennis. Also aiding here were two in Tumbling Club and eight Girls' A members. Finishing their journey on Music Trail were twenty forty-niners who followed the First Choir Fork and seven who followed the Band Fork. As the Juniors slowly pul- led in, we welcomed them with the Senior-Junior Party. Some forty-niners were sent back to act as guides and they began their job with the Big-Little Sister Party. Coming in from Pep Club Path were twenty-three forty-niners and eight came in on Hi-Y Trail. Because they showed exceptional intelli- gence and initiative while crossing the Junior Mountains, seventeen forty- niners were awarded membership in Honor Society. Having reached Senior City, we carried on a campaign against the rest of the travelers through Ar- lington High School and came in first in the A.S.B. Ticket Sale. Continuing on down Dramatics Avenue, here in Senior City, we find eighteen forty-niners in the Senior Play, What a Life. Here we struck goldl We made another strike with our Senior Ball, ColoniaI Days presided over by Clarence 2E and his band. Feeling that Senior City's educational system needed improving, the forty-niners took it over on Student Government Day. Another improve- ment in our new locality was the tree planting. We ended our stay in Senior City with a very successful Mother's Tea and Class Night program. Before leaving Senior City, we gaze back and find that we have had fifty-one officers in the various club covered wagons during our trip. After a short stay in Senior City, the forty-niners scatter, each to find his own gold mine. Many have gone before us. Our journey through the vast plains of Arlington High School has been altogether too short, but the knowledge, leadership, guidance, and friendship found during our trip should aid each of us in finding our own gold. Will the forty-niners make good use of this gold in their later lives? Gloria Joergenson tChairmani Alyce Gibbons Marian Knudson Barry Boyden George Willett ff- l il slglgxloli Scarf?

Leading in the first covered wagon were Mack Smith, president, Claude Nelson, vice president, Doris Lounsbury, Secretary- Treasurer, and Miss Helen Sohlberg, advisor. Before leaving, we had a little argument with those who started first and came out second best in A.S.B. Ticket Sale. While following Frosh. River, we were attacked by an indian tribe called Athletics. During the skirmish, we picked up two baseball lettermen, one track Ietterman, and five girls in Tumbling Club. Overtaking the caravan ahead of us, we entertained them with the Frosh-Soph Party. Con- tinuing along Frosh. River, we climbed Dramatics Hill to pick up one member in the All-School Play. With crafty originality and scheming, we also picked up the twenty-one member cast of our Frosh. Play, Silver Slippers. On the way down this hill we found six band members waiting for us. Leaving Frosh. River, we thanked our guides with the Big-Little Sister Party. SOPHOMORES Upon leaving Frosh. River, we set foot on Soph Desert. The leading covered wagon now carried Jim Blair, president, Chuck Mathiesen, vice-presi- dent, Norma Sarchette, secretary, lvan Bjorn, treasurer, Alyce Gibbons, yell leader. Just before beginning this lap of our journey we stopped at Fort Hi-Y and found four fortyfniners. Here we also waited for those following us and surprised them with the Soph-Frosh Party. The Athletics Indians continued to' attack us, but we improved our showing with three football lettermen, one basketball Ietterman, two in baseball, and two lettermen in track. In addition, we also found eight girls in Tumbling Club and two in.Girls' A . Because they had shown extraordinary intelligence so far on our journey, twenty-one were awarded membership in Honor Society. Dramatics seems to be a popular name along our trail west, this time it was given to a water-hole where we stopped one evening and found four forty-niners in the All-School Play. Con- tinuing on our quest for gold, the forty-niners added eight band members to our caravan. The forty-niners were very happy about leaving the lower levels and entering the higher ones of Junior Mountains. JUNIORS Continuing up Junior Mountains the leading covered wagon was again changed. This one was driven by Chuck Matthiesen, president. Assisting 'him were Jack Austin, vice-president, Myrtle Shultz, secretary, Betty Drivstuen, treasurer, Edgar Holland, yell leader, and Miss Florence Thwing, advisor. As we climbed the high mountains, twenty-four forty-niners branched off on to Music Trail where seventeen took the First Choir Fork and seven the Band Fork. Planning to ambush us the Athletics again attacked us, but the forty- niners again were victorious with eight football lettermen, three in basketball four in baseball, three in track and tennis. On the other front we found seven girls in Girls' A and three in Tumbling Club. After enduring many previous
