 «x®- THE NORIDESTER -® - •-SNV» ■■O •-----------------------------------------------------------------• CLASS HISTORY History! Ah! Each day of our lives adds a new page. On many pages perhaps arc written things so small that they seem not to count. We pass them over, idly turning another page filled with things that will mean so much in the forming of each life-history, some of them sad. some full of joy. I hen there arc other pages that we hastily turn—ashamed: these make up the bitternesses of life. In this history of the Class of '28 we shall swiftly turn the pages of the things that do not count and the few bitter episodes and dwell only on the events that stand out—the happy things. For is that not what each of us tries to do? We remember only the good, the happy things of life. Of the Freshman Class which assembled in September. 1924. thirteen are now members of the present Senior Class. Twelve of these were not new to Arlington School: Henrietta Furniss and John Wuichet being here when the school began in Mr. King Thompson's basement: Mildred Shaw and Ellen Benbow from Columbus and Wayne Geissinger from Clintonville came to Arlington in the fourth grade: Mildred Marquardt came here in the fifth grade from Columbus; Marcella Rardin from Portsmouth. Sandy Francisco from Philadelphia. Fritz Radebaugh from Grandview, and Frank Sayers from Big Stone Gap. Virginia, all coming here in the sixth grade: and Anne Zartman and Tee Green from Columbus in the seventh grade. The thirteenth member. Virginia Lohmeycr. came from Greenbrier Military School. Lcwisburg. West Virginia, as a Freshie. As a rule Freshman are thought of as being rather green—our class was no exception, so it wasn t until our Sophomore year, which began in September. 1925, after we had almost become used to trying to act dignified that we started putting ourselves upon the map. That year brought several new members to our class. Karl Shumaker from La Grange. Illinois. Dwight Rogers from Columbus and Ross Dunbar from Toledo. Ohio. Quite a few members went out for basketball that year, but the main event was our Holiday Hop. Our Junior year began in September. 1926. More new members: Marion Schlesingcr and Betty Benbow from Grandview. Robert Crane from Central. Columbus, and Vernon Mandt from Keokuk. Iowa, and Kathryn Giilivan from Columbus the following February. On the girls' basketball team we were represented by Henri Furniss, Mill Shaw and Mill Marquardt. and on the boys' by Sandy Francisco and Fritz Radebaugh. Most of our year was spent trying to make money by rummage sales, etc., so that we might entertain our friends, the Seniors, with a banquet. That brings us to September. 1927. the beginning of this Senior year. Margaret Gardner from East. Columbus. Alice Crist from Powell High School, near Delaware. Ohio, and Gwendolyn Murscy from Grandview joined our class then, and Marvin Olsen came after Christmas from Cleveland. Page (ourlecn

I he Youngest. because of his skillfulness, patience and understanding in direct ing us. Seniors! But we aren’t that any more—for here ends our four years of high school, perhaps the most important years of our lives, because it has been during them that our characters have been formed—the characteristics and traits which will be brought out in whatever Fate has planned for us. Some of us have said at some time that we wished high school for us would hurry up and be over, but now that that time has arrived—I believe we are—oh. so sorry! It’s hard to say good-bye. Virginia LOHMEYER. SENIOR PROPHECY I.ast week end I had a sudden inspiration to hop in my plane and take a cruise about the world, deciding to visit all my classmates of 28 along the way. For. here it was l( 41 and I had seen none of them since about the time Lindbergh made his spectacular flight. My goodness, how wonderful we thought that was! Never dreaming that some day our own sons and daughters would be using the same route for possible evening dates. Well, times do change. But I was rather surprised, though in this day and age it seems impossible, when I discovered the various occupations of my old friends. For who would have dreamed that I would have Alice Crist, the famous news reporter and intrepid world flier tor my pilot. She had just completed her latest best seller. Has Lindy’s Influence Broken Down the Morale of Our Younger Generation. and had wanted to accompany me. She said, a short recreation is necessary before plunging once more into pressing business duties. So together we stopped in Columbus to visit the only four classmates left living there. We found Anne Zartman graciously presiding over her Tearoom for the Elite where once stood the famous Ward’s. But Oh' the building was so much larger and so magnificently remodeled that one could hardly recognize it. While chatting over old times and complimenting Anne on her prosperity, who should roll up in her snappy blue roadster, but our own Marian Schlesinger. with Marcella Rardin and Margaret Gardner squeezed in tightly beside her. Indeed it looked as though Alice and 1 had arrived at the opportune moment for an old-fashioned reunion. It seemed that Marian had gone lately in partnership with Anne as assistant hostess, although attending more to the business end. Because, said she. married life had became dull and time hung heavily on her hands. Page fifteen
