TO THE JUNIORS We grave and world wise Seniors, Have much of which to complain, And that is that the Juniors, Are usurping our domain. For they, proud souls, are doing What Seniors long have done, They’re wrestling with the Clarion, We hope they’ll find it fun. They sa t y Ave lack school spirit, And they will show us how To print a paper of merit, By the honest sAveat of their brow. Arthur Landers, ' 24. TG THE SENIORS The “grave and Avorld-wise” Seniors Are grumbling at their fate. They think Ave “prond-souled” Juniors Have started a task too great. According to their grumbling, We ' re Avrong in Avhat avc do. But why if they ' re school-spirited, Did they not start things, too? They had much time to ponder, To plan, and then to work. Ila A r e AA ' e not more school spirit, To do the job they shirk? We’ll print a paper of merit And find it splendid fun: And Ave will never falter In the task that Ave’ve begun. C. A. Higgins, ’25.

28 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION Center Junior High School Notes At a recent meeting of tlie J. H. S. A. A., Richard Lombard was elected President of the Association and Joe. Donahue was elected Vice-President; Robert Goodale, Treasurer; and Ruth Hendrick, Secretary. A few years ago when Hardy, Mills, Buzz Coolidge, and other gridiron and diamond warriors attended High School, there was a paper called the High School Clarion. Tbs paper was rated among the highest of school papers in the greater part of New Eng- land. About two years ago this paper was discontinued on account of financial difficulties. Now, we have a chance to build it up again. Come on, people, dig down into 1 lie pocket books and wallets and try to bring the Clar- ion back to even a higher standard than before. Three or four weeks ago Arlington Junior High School Athletic Associa- tion pins were given to the teachers to sell to the pupils. Now, out of the five hundred pupils only about one hundred and fifty pupils have bought, pins. These pins are being sold so that we may have money to buy athletic -ipo ment for the teams: Now that the football and soccer season is over, we must look to other sports for excitement. The girls have started basketball practice with Miss Hoffman as coach. There has been an arrangement this year about hockey teams. Each divi- sion in the school is going to have a hockey team. Much clean rivalry is expected as soon as these teams get in action on the ice. A silver cup will be awarded to the winning hockey team to keep for one year. At last the snow that we have so patiently awaited for covers the ground. Let’s make use of it and have some skiing and snowshoeing. (kmter Junior High is proud of its record of attendance, which is the best of any school in town. We hope to keep (Ids high record throughout the school year. The 3A jazz orchestra has been of- fered a chance to broadcast from Med- ford Hillside Station. Senior High people can look forward to good music in the Gym next year. S. Gray, ’27. JOKES One of our spirited faculty: “This is the worst recitation I have ever heard. 1 have done tliree-fourths of it myself.” First student : “Your recitation this morning reminded me of the City of Quebec.” Second Student: “How ' s that?” First Student: “Built on a bluff.” C an ' t beat it; L ook, stop and laugh ; A 11 subscribe, R ead the school news, I nteresting for every one; O ur school paper N eeds your support. Wei I, 1 guess this will have to be my elo ' es line. E. Smith, ' 27.
