and Edward Cahaly, under whose leader- ship we are having a wonderful year. Our football team went through nine straight games without a tie or defeat. By beating Melrose, we can boast that when we entered A. H. S., the traditional Arling- ton vs. Melrose series was all tied up; but when we leave, there will be a margin of three wins. After their perfect season, the team was invited to play in the C. Y. O. bowl game at New Orleans. Thanks to the generosity of Arlington’s popula- tion, they were able to accept. In spite of the climatic change, the long trip and the fact that they faced one of the best high school backs in the country, they put up a great game and fought hard for New England football prestige in the South. The hockey team thus far has a record of two wins and two losses keeping alive a mathematical chance of repeating their conquests and defending their champion- ships.

Hall was gaily dressed lor this gala event and all who went enjoyed it very much. Alter blonde Jayne Dorian stole the judges’ eyes and was crowned c]ueen, the dance broke up and all were off for points be- yond. The Dramatic Club staged the Divine Flora” as again Mrs. Matthews produced a hit performance. The Town Hall was filled with parents and friends who went away happy about the plot and its de- nouement. The Gilbert and Sullivan again kept pace, this time deviating from its customs by producing Oscar Straus’ Waltz Dream.” The year was completed with the finals. This time we went away rejoicing of hav- ing seen the end of final examinations in high school. Back we came ready for our last year of public education. Coming back to a long list of friends and acquaintances is always an enjoyable duty even if it does mean another ten months of home work and report cards. Now we are Seniors and are entitled to the privileges and re- port cards thereof. We elected our class officers, Glen Pet- erson, Adcle Dengeleski, Barbara Ryan, Page Fourteen

Scholastic Aptitude and College Board exams. Our high school careers have been full of hard work and good fun. We shall graduate in June sad because w ' e leave old friends and scenes, but happy because we had such fun and face an even greater op- portunity to make friends and profit by our high school education. It is our duty to our country and to the world to make good and do good. As we face the challenge before us, we shall feel the security of a good background and heartfelt gratitude to those who made it possible. Nathan Wood.
