Thus ten years of Upper Arlington school history have passed. The little brown building was moved and augmented in 1919. later to become the elementary building while a new high school loomed on the mall. Many are the names and faces that recur to mind during a reminiscence of these years since Evan Mahaffey was principal of the school, followed by Bernard G. Rock-wood. who is now in Kurnool. India. Then M. M. Williams became joint superintendent of Upper Arlington and Grandview while J. W. Jones served as principal at Upper Arlington, later becoming superintendent. It has been a tale of steady progress and development from those days when there was no gymnasium, no locker rooms, no showers for athletes, such as they were, nor laboratories. libraries and commodious classrooms for students. Prowess in athletics was meager, but a foundation was laid which in the past several years has brought fruition of dreams that earlier students of the school cherished and hoped for. working toward that goal unconsciously, yet with a knowledge that some day it would be different. So there has been a heritage bequeathed to each succeeding class, the opportunities have been widened, the contacts enriched. And now. after ten years, it means that Upper Arlington schools have their tradition, their stories of what has been, ever-increasing funds of recollections of one of the most critical periods in the lives of boys and girls. Now that it has started, has gained force, strength and richness, future generations may accept the heritage with the knowledge that it is truly their own. The chronicler has seen it through the dark ages, as it were, and the renaissance has begun. Time is change and change is progress. Paw four

 •- ®- T H E NORIDESTER AS WE KNEW THEM Now. after four years of education at Arlington we are preparing to leave. At least we are expected to leave. Tor these long-suffering pedagogues could hardly sustain another siege. However, not being entirely devoid of intelligence, and are. in some ways more capable than previously, we can find no one to blame for this blissful state except the teachers. To Miss Shidaker. our registration teacher, we owe a deep debt of gratitude. If it were not for her patience and understanding we would all be in our scholastic graves. With Miss Schultz four of us walked hand in hand with Virgil, and discovered that we could say “Hell in class without losing our moral responsibility. Mr. Jackson taught us Physics and gave to us the necessary enlightenment by which we could acquire another credit. Mr. Jackson is a genuine friend, although, during some “exams we have been inclined to drop the “R. Mr. McCullough, better known as “Mac, exercised us in Civics and English. He allowed the budding geniuses to bloom and applied artificial sunlight to the rest. Whatever the Senior Play is now or ever will be. we owe to our darling Mac. Miss Richmond presided over the Study Hall. The illustrious Seniors, always quiet, appreciate very much a teacher who can calm the Juniors for an hour straight. Miss Vance exhales French. What she lacks in size she makes up for in ability. Most of the Senior “studes can now pronounce the names of fancy perfume bottles. In Mr. Baugh we have a good coach. Everyone knows how well he is liked so we shall pass on. wishing him the best of luck in the future. Miss Hey man has just finished her first year with us. She is the Girls' basketball coach. Since her arrival we not only have female athletics. but we have a real team besides. We are sure it won’t be long until we win our first tournament. In closing we add a little note of thanks to Messrs. Holt. Banks, and Stewart for their unfailing performance of duty, and their uncanny ability to keep the temperature at 98 degrees in June and 48 degrees in December. Page six Wayne T. Geissinger. Editor.
