1918. Class Officers. President Jordan Silver Vice-President Madeleine Thacher Secretary Priscilla Watts Treasurer Parks Odenvveller CAass Adviser Miss M.agner Under the leadership of President Silver and his staff and with Miss Magner as Comniander-in-Chief, we surely ought to accomplish much in the field of battle this year, and give the school a Senior class to be proud of. Let us all work together to achieve this goal! — -o — The Monotony of Student Life. When at quarter of seven and all is well, That noisy whistle and iron bell Kings twice; From out of my warm and comfy bed Onto the icy floor I tread. How nice! By half-past seven I’m on my way To that place of knowledge that’s not all play — Poor me! I reach the school as the hell is ringing. But when I get in the school is singing: “Oh, say can you see.” After assemhlv to the office I go. And make out a tardy slip, whether or no. Who’s boss? First to Miss Eaton’s, then Mademoiselle’s, Where everything goes fine until — oh, well. They get cross. And thence to Geometry, loved by all. When A equals B, and at that you stall — Oh, well. Recess next, and then two more Of periods which I just adore. The end of the strife! When one o’clock rings, as quick as a hush To our home rooms and wrajis we rush. For this is student life! Anna Rogers. — o — GERMAN III. B. Teacher: “Give principal parts of Nie- dersinke” I pronounced in English Need- asinker I . Bright Pupil: “Need-a-hiscuit.”

rilK ARLINC.TON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 17 Who’s Who In Arlington High School We have in our midst tliis year an ex- tremely large mimher of remarkable schoolmates whose genius, perhai)S, is recognized and honored hy their imme- diate circles, hut too often is unnoticed hy the school as a whole. Thus the Editors have thought it wise to devote a juige in the Clarion for the public recognition of such shiidng lights, and in this issue we begin with The Class Rresidents. SiLVElt, 191 5. Jordan Silver, in other and less dignified words, “Jid” or “Sliver,” Senior President, football jilayer, is surely there with the goods! At class meetings he jnesides as solemn- ly as could he reipiired, and turns olf the business accordingly. In his football togs he looks good to us, too. When he gets his signal to rush, he jnits his head ilown and hits the line till something has to give. He’s a live wire, for he does his “hit” for A. H. S. every day of his life. — o — Robinson, 1919. Philij) Robinson is the President of the Junior class, lunch ticket dispenser, and son ol the Town Clerk of our hajipy city. We see I hilip in the Mayors chair in the future as a W'orlhy successor to father, as he already shows signs of leadership — in several directions. An athlete, a scholar, an orator, an all- ound good fellow', say w'e ! Smith, 1920. Robert H. Smith, our illustrious states- man and jnesirlent, orator and general utility l)oy, is widely known among the social set of Arlington High School. He is as ])om])OUS as George Washington and as aristocratic as the Kaiser. The vocabu- lary of the Honorable Mr. Smith comjiares with that of Webster, and some day he will astound the W'orhl hy compiling a diction- ary of his own. As an orator, he ranks second only to Cicero himself, and as a politician he rivals Woodrow Wilson. If Mr. R. 11. Smith’s boyhood ambition is realized, we shall yet see him in the Presi- dential chair of the Ihiited States. — o — John Lamson, 1921. Hail, John Lamson, chief executive of the Class of 1921 ! The mighty president of a mighty class! Who is there better fit- ted to guide and direct the class through the perilous days of its first high school year, to champion against the contempt and oppression of upper classmen, and to start it well on its way to fame and success? For Jack, while possessing all the good traits of a freshman, has, with his election to the presidency risen above the common weaknesses of his kind, and becomes a man worthy in every respect of the honor. And, indeed, with such a class advisor and such a president, hacked hy such an execu- tive committee, ought not the Class of 1921 to start things moving mighty soon? Watch this jiage in the Christmas num- ber for some of our famous athletes.

That Freshmen dress like twenty-three? Put up their curls, grow out their Dutch, And then they look like nothing much. And I suppose the next we know They’ll have nets, too, because they go To the extreme in every way.

So that merely they may wear What is to them a classy style. But they’ll know better in a while. D. A. 1919 JUNIOR NEWS. A Live Paper of a Live Class! ELECTION EXTRA!
