▼ History of the Class of 19 0 Should you a'k me, whence this story? Whence this legend, this tradition. With its tale of toil and pleasure. With its presage of the future? I should answer, I should tell you. Part in truth, I have reported As I heard it told l»y warriors In a dimly lighted wigwam. I repeat it as I heard it From the lips of Senior students. As they rested from their labors.— Rested in their ancient wigwams. There the sang of Nineteen Third. Sain; the song of Nineteen I hirty. Of its wondrous hirth and being, How it worked, or blurted ', or idled. Of its promise for the future Ye whose hearts are fresh and simple. Who believe, that in all age' livery human heart i' human. That in even savage bosoms There arc longings, striving', yearnings, For the marks the) oft secure not, — Listen to this simple 'lory. Read thi' tale of Nineteen Third We all know that there is always room for imprOxement. hut when we enteied High School at Arlington, as Freshmen, in the autumn of 2b, in our inane conceit we knew not the meaning of the word improvement, and excluded it from out vocabularies. Now we frankly admit that for a collection of raw material, our equal could not be found in all Columbus. So much the more credit to ourselves and our faculty, considering the way we are leaving our Alma Mater. Little b little we applied ourselves to our studies as faithfully as fifteen and sixteen year old boys and girls ever can. Next to the task of broadening our mental horizons, the chief aim of our Freshman class was the forming of those friendships that have lasted tltruout four years and in some cases, we are fain to believe, have ripened into something deeper and more enduring than a mere school friendship. We got under way for our four year course under the supervision of Mr. Baugh. We were rather late in organizing and it was mid-year before our officers were elected. Hill Kern had the honor to he our first president. Klizabeth Head our vice-president and Hob Kelley , tile secretary-treasurer. Fhe other members of this illustrious class were: Harriet McClure. Marjorie Smith, Norman Shaw. Howard Coe, William 1.anicli. Benjamin Watson. Owen (iriswold, Benjamin Williams, Marguerite I iegh-man. Dorothy Bell McFcely. Elizabeth Head. Harry Shaw. Victor Barricklow. Lloyd (iaetz, James Moor, Ogden Wise and Elizabeth Rudd. Although only beginning our High School career, the class began immediately to show it power and future promise in athletics. Boh Kelley played in every football game of the season, while Bill Kern also served on the squad, and Elizabeth Head made the girls’ basketball squad. Fhe fall of '27 found the Sophomore class well organized and ready tor serious work, nor did this mean that we ceased to have the good times, so characteristic of this group. During this year several new members were added to our class. They were as follows: Miriam Morton, Helen Plieneger, Dorothy Fichenlaub, Dorothy Hanna and Marian Holl. Miss Schultz was our faithful counselor for this, our second year. Her cooperation and ready help gained for her our enduring gratitude. Our class president was Boh Kelley, vice-president Sis Head, and secretary-treasurer Vic Barricklow . I nder this efficient leadership we attained an enviable position in school activities. For the basketball squad we produced Boh Kelley, Bill Kern and Cot Shaw, while we were represented on the girls squad by Sis Head. Marian Holl, Marjorie Smith. Fredd Lohmeyer. Harriet McClure and Dorothy Hanna. Five of the hoys were on the football squad. Vic Barricklow, James Moor. Ben Williams. Bill Kern and Boh Kelley. On the golf team we were represented by one lone star. Boh Kelley. Victor Barricklow was on the annual staff and helped the class of ‘JS as athletic editor. [21 J ■i ± j ± ■I

Everyone recalls with joyous pride the unusual success of the Sophomore Hop, the first social function in which our class participated. It was in our Junior year that we could best afford to vaunt our talents and abilities. Our numbers remained about the same. Several of the members of our class left Arlington, while James Arant, Edward Day, Dallas Head, Victor Thompson, Virginia Jones, Alfreda Paugh, Mary Schleckman, Mildred Erwin, and Jean Pontius were an addition to our roll. Jean Pontius and Dallas Head came from the Senior class. Dallas and Bill took a trip South while Jean spent her Junior year in Europe. Early in the year we held our class meeting. The officers elected were Marjorie Smith, president, Vic Barricklow, vice-president, and Sis Head, secretary-treasurer. We contributed the following stars to the Athletic field: Bob Kelley, Vic Barricklow, Bill Kern. James Moor. Ben Williams, and Cot Shaw. The Juniors were also well represented on the hoys' basketball team by Bob Kelley, Bill Kern, Ben Williams, and Cot Shaw, while on the girls' team, Sis Head. Freddy Lohmever, Marion Holl, Margie Smith. Harriet McClure, and Dorothy Hanna carried off our honors. Due to the untiring energy of our beloved supervisor Miss Vance and our class officers and committees, we more than distinguished ourselves bv the success of our Junior-Senior. From the very first we showed our willingness to put the project across. The Junior rummage sale was a huge success and proved our ability as salesmen. At last we have become high and mighty seniors, and reached the goal, which has been our aim throughout the previous three years, while Walt Spreser came from Defiance but only stayed a month. One new member was added to our class roll during this year, Edna Henry. Jean Pontius and Doris Garner left Arlington; Doris to go to Northfield and Jean to Columbus School for Girls. Miss Kile has been our advisor for this, our last year. She has proven herself to be a real friend and helper, and we owe much of our success to her untiring efforts. Bob Kelley had the honor to be our Senior class president, Victor Barricklow, vice-president, and Ben Watson, secretary-treasurer. Ehe same boys represented us on the football and basketball squads. Bob Kelley was the football captain and Bill Kern the basketball. Bill made us ver proud of him by making the all-county team. Ehe Senior class contributed the same girls to the basketball team. Sis Head captained the team, and was our especial star. She was given a place on the allcounty team and was high scorer at the Franklin Count) Tournament. We sponsored the Annual Kra .y Kaper Revue which was a great success. But what hasn't been a success that the class of '.?() has attempted? Thus we have ended our High School career. The Historian's task is done. She has tried to give praise where praise is due without forgetting that all organizations have their faults; these, howver, have not been recorded. We come to the end of our career in Arlington High and as we depart from its friendh portals we remember only the happy hours. Bum Rt m» I 22 )
