ART DEPARTMENT NOTES The Savings Banks Association of Massachusetts conducted a contest, during the school year 1924-25, among the public schools of Massachusetts, for the best poster on thrift. Tlip first prize for high schools was won by Miss Hilda Frost, class of 1925, Arl- ington High School. Miss Frost’s pos- ter was very well done, and she cer- tainly deserves the honor which she received. The Arlington Board of Trade re- cently offered a prize to a student of the Arlington public schools who would submit the best design for a town seal or badge. The prize was to be in the form of money. We are pleased to announce that Margaret Fernald, ’2(1, has been awarded first prize, and John McQueeny of the Center Junior High, second prize. The design chosen was the Menotomy Indian as he kneels at the fountain. Of the forty-one contes- tants twelve were Senior High pupils of whom Esther Alden received hon- orable mention. Similar contests are held throughout the year. Why not join an art class now and find a hid- den talent?

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 11 WORDS Words are lakes Impulsive, mystical, Now gentle, now raging Enchanting in their many moods. Words are streams Rippling, laughing, M u rmu ring merrily Along mossy banks. Words are pools Placid, serene, Content to lie dreaming In idle tranquility. Words are seas Crashing and pounding In heavy surf Upon a rugged shore. — I). Blevins, ’26. IN WINTER Congealed vapor Slowly sifting, Making mounds And deeply drifting Blankets all the earth in white. Shimmering surface Crisply crackling, Ruthlessly The water shackling Hides the brooks and lakes from sight. Slurring sleds Steel skates ringing, Merry shouts Alumni The first of this year our Business Manager sent cards to all the members of the class of ' 25 asking them to sub- scribe to The Clarion. We were glad to receive very interesting and encour- aging letters from the following: Jane Gilmore, Smith College; Helen Stokes, De Pauw University; Edith Johnson, Mount Holyoke College; Warren Drouet. Exeter Academy; Claude Hig- gins, Earl Farmer, and Ethel Macmil- lan, at home. We thank you. And sharp air stinging — Winter is all youth’s delight. — Charles T. Atwood, ’26. TODAY AND TOMORROW What can I say of Mother? Mother, who understands, Mother, who works for me all day With weary, willing hands? What can I say of Mother? Sweet and brave and true, Mother, who trusts me all the time No matter what I do? Mother — she ' s my own Mother! If she should go away, Only then could I truly know What I should say today ! —Ruth Hopkins, ’26. WORDS With shadowings of green and gold And sprays of foaming blue The wavelets laugh and leap and dance On seas of sapphire hue. But coral caves and cities fair And forests lie below, And with their wondrous glory are The waves above aglow. Words are but light reflected from The hidden thought beneath, Whose mystery and purple depths No man may ever reach. — L. B., ’26. Louise Bradley, Poetry Editor.

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 13 Football It was Winchester’s turn on Novem- ber 7 to be defeated again by Arlington. The score was 27 to 0. Touchdowns were made by Sumner, Stokes, Dona- hue, and Canty. Sumner succeeded three times in making the extra point after touchdown. The substitution of the second and third team players made little difference in Arlington’s scoring power. Bill Reilly, a consis- tent performer in the line, suffered a severe dislocation of his shoulder in the first half and so was kept out of action the remainder of the season. The next week at Watertown, Arling- ton was held to a scoreless tie by the Watertown team. It was not the fault of the boys that they didn ' t win though they did show a lack of punch when near the enemy’s goal line. In the sec- ond half the second team was used en- tirely until the last few minutes of play. This outfit made a much better showing than the first did but they also did not produce a winning score. Next on the list was our old friend Lexington. The Lexington team was given much credit for holding Arling- ton to a 17 to G score. In fact Lexing- ton did hold our second team through- out the first half, but when this team was strengthened by varsity players the scoring began. Hamm and Canty made the Arlington touchdowns, Sum- ner kicking the goals. In the last pe riod Lefty Sumner added three more points by dropping a beautiful field goal from the 43 yard line. Late in the last quarter Enabling went through the third team for a Lexington touch- down but the try for point was smoth- ered by Arlington linesmen. THE MELROSE GAME Thanksgiving Day was a perfect day for football and it was made all the more perfect by Arlington’s 12 to 0 victory over Melrose. Melrose must have profited by the lesson taught them last year for they were not quite so haughty and cocksure this fall, but nev- ertheless they still thought they had a chance, but we all know what thought -did. The game began with Melrose kicking off; there followed an exchange of punts with Arlington the gainer. Near the end of the quarter one of Hamm’s punts was rolling towards the Melrose goal line but Joe Donahue fell on the ball at the one yard line. Melrose’s punt did not carry far and with Canty and Hamm alternating as ball carriers, the Melrose team was pushed beyond their goal line, Hamm carrying the ball over. Sumner’s try for an extra point was blocked. In the second period Sumner’s try for a field goal from the 35 yard line was a trifle wide. Melrose threatened in the third quarter lighting its way to the one foot line where the Red and Gray line turned into a solid wall permitting Melrose to gain six inches in four downs. In the last quarter Arlington played all around their opponents, making many long gains and prevent- ing Melrose from making any. In the last few minutes Captain Hamm smashed through the line for his sec- ond touchdown. The try for point failed and the game was soon over, leaving Arlington again Champions of the Mystic Valley League.
