THE YEARBOOK On Friday, September 24, the Dramatic Club, under its new director, Mrs. Matthews, held its first social, and it was at this gathering that Sid Hegh, our eminent cartoonist, won his first recognition. Just before the Christmas vacation the Dramatic Club won new honors with the play entitled “When the Chimes Rang.” Shall we ever forget its picturesque beauty? The rest of the year closely imitated its predecessor. “So This is London” found fame in the Town Hall. We held our winning luck on the field and in the gym. The various organizations flourished and delegates were sent to the Student Council Convention and the Convention of School Papers. All in all the year may itideed be considered a happy and prosperous one so far as A. H. S. is concerned. And so we left the familiar halls for another short period, this time to return even more inflated to the sacred privileges of Seniority. Some of us fell heir to room 14, from which point of vantage we had a fine view of numerous of our classmates as they tripped nonchalantly up the walk at three minutes past eight o’clock or eighteen minutes past eight o’clock, as the case may have been, unless we ourselves happened to be in that group, too. Once again we chose our class officers, electing for our final year: Richard French, President; Leila MacAllister, Vice-President; Ruth Cannell, Secretary, and Arthur Lane, Treasurer. As for our other activities, Charles Evans was elected President of the Student Council and Leila MacAllister President of the Girls Club. Both of these organizations have thrived remarkably under the present Senior regime, so may we not feel that this reflects credit on the members of that class? On our return in the fall of 1927 we found an entire new staff in the athletic department. Mr. Downes, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Bevins have proved that they are entirely capable of leading A. H. S.’s fine group of athletes to victory. Among the boys’ laurels were the New England Harrier Championship, place in the triple tie for the Mystic Valley Football League Championship, and the Eastern State Cham- pionship in basketball. Shall we ever forget that glorious Tech Tourney? The person who couldn’t feel his school spirit stir within him at those games is certainly totally lacking in that element. The girls, too, have reason to be proud of their fine teams in field hockey and basketball. Arlington High School has as ever, come out at the winning end of her athletic contests. May this precedent ever be followed. Now there remain only a few high-lights of the year. There was a beautiful “Hiawatha,” the Woman’s Club annual presentation to which we were so kindly invited. The Dramatic Club again made a sensation with Charming Pollock’s play “The Enemy,” thereby closing one of the most successful years in the history of the Club. There now remains only Class Day and Graduation. Of the three hundred and forty-four members of our class who entered A. H. S. three years ago, about two hundred expect to graduate. Some of these have been bequeathed to us from former classes. But, as in all other things the class of ’28 has come through with flying colors. Some of us can say “the race is won, our course is done.” For others it is only the beginning, but for all of us June brings to a close a period which we can truthfully call one of the happiest in our lives.
