We hope this is glad news to all who have attended, are attending and will attend the Ar- lington High School. The publication of a Clarion means that those who have attended Arlington High know that the students of this school have re- assumed a responsibility which has much to do with successful school life, for a paper not only binds the school body more closely together, but it also, through exchanges, enables us to see how neighboring schools are progress- ing. Almost every high school of any size whatever publishes a paper. This is only one reason why the Arlington High School, one of the large reputable schools of Greater Boston, is attempt- ing again to publish the Clarion. As this is our first issue of the re- vival, we realize that the paper will have its poor qualities as well at its good ones. We trust, however, that our many errors will be remedied through your constructive and suggest- ive criticisms. In this way, the paper will surely be a success, and you can all swell with individual pride when you fur- nish inquirers with the information that you helped the Clarion, either by clever stories, helpful suggestions, or interesting news, on its way to suc- cess. The editorial staff. Room 21, awaits eagerly your counsel. S. V. T., ’25. In a collection of old mottoes and wise sayings I found the following one which appealed most strongly to me: “ ’Tis no use to wait for our ship to come in unless we have sent one out.” Because of its simplicity in principle and figure of speech, we are readily able to realize the frank and open truth- fulness of the thought. Such a state- ment as this should make us pause a while, look our own selves squarely in the face, and ask, “Have I sent any ships out?” It is not to be ex- pected or desired that, so soon in our lives, we send out the ship which shall start us on our life ' s work. But as the Senior Class, as the class which the school looks up to and respects for having surmounted all the difficulties which must be overcome before we be- come seniors, as a group which after graduation will represent the town and school in outside life, thereby casting upon our school a reflection of our selves as men and women, as such, I think it is our duty to he serious in our studies, to realize that Ave are here training ourselves for the big task of carrying out the problems of the world. In this way shall we send our our ships which shall sail back to us laden with cargoes of knowledge and stead- fastness of character. F. W. Andres, ’24. The pupils ought to be thankful for the many improvements which have

4 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION enriched our curriculums. Last year we had no idea that we should have this year a boy’s basketball team, a new athletic association, a mandolin club, a winter club, gym classes, and an or- chestra in the gym at recess. We all enjoy these many improvements and with the help and generosity of the school we hope to enjoy the Clarion. Doris J. McCarthy, ’25. To the Editors and Headers of the Clarion : Now that the Clarion has returned, we hope that you will appreciate it, and be willing to work for and support it. From the enthusiasm that has been shown so far, we are sure that you will make it a great success. We heartily support you, and wish the new Clarion the best of luck! The Editors of the Red and Gray. PATRONIZE OCR ADVERTISERS A few moments will give you enough time to look through our advertise- ments. You must know that those who give ns “ads,” help support the Clarion, whether or not they gain any thing by it. Because of their generosity and thoughtfulness, we should in turn help our advertisers by patronizing them. Let’s hear from the foreign language departments. Established 1824 Troy, N. Y.
