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 )
