ARLINGTON ANNUAL 13 HIGH SCHOOL PROPHECY Where are they) — the friends of my youth so dear — The clear laughing eyes looking back in my own.

While roaming around in the Mediterranean Sea, I decided to visit Delphi — the Shrine of the ancient god Zeus. While gazing with admiration on the Shrine, an old man. bent and haggard, beckoned me to go with him. On following him, we entered a huge cave, dimly lighted with tall candles. In the center of the roohi I perceived a large crystal globe, in which, the wizard told me, I could see the future of all my companions. I eagerly gazed into the silvery ball and soon familiar faces met my view.

15 ARLINGTON ANNUAL HISTORY OF UPPER ARLINGTON SCHOOL In the fall of 1916 the village of Upper Arlington had grown so much that a school was needed. The village employed a teacher and a school was started in Mr. King I hompson s basement. Only the first three grades were there. By the spring of 1917 the village was quite a bit larger. Up to this time all the children who did not go to our school went to Grandview. The school board was organized and a temporary school was built at the corner of Tre-mont and Arlington Avenues. It contained the first nine grades with three teachers in charge of three rooms and an assembly room. At the end of that year there were about fifty-five pupils enrolled in the school. I hat summer the school was moved again to Waltham Road near Devon. Six rooms and a gymnasium were added to the old school. This May will be the end of the fourth year it has been occupied. Near our present school a new school building is in the process of construction.
