Through the Years September 9, 1940! It brings such pleasant memories to us, for it was the im- mortal day when we, as humble and low- ly sophomores, started to make history for Arlington High School — long may she live! Lost and bewildered, we were herded into the New Hall where we tremblingly awaited the welcome by Mr. Gammons, principal of the awe-full insti- tution. This began the year in which we faced the trials and tribulations of sopho- mores!

The club reaped more glory by rating an invitation to the National Drama Festival at the University of Indiana in Blooming- ton. All of Arlington was interested in it, and everyone pitched in to help raise enough money for the trip. For this pur- pose we had a tag day. Remember how it rained on Tag Day? Needless to say, we went over the top in a big way, and The Devil” was sent on its way to Indi- ana. The cast bore home the glad news that A. H. S. was among the first in Class A! !
