DEATON'S clever writings show to an advantage his worldly and amusing attitude. Although he dresses very well, his weakness for bow ties and corduroy trousers renders him not always on the conservative side. WALLACE EVANS, who aspires to become an author, is making a fine start with his English themes. One can always recognize him by his height, wavy blond hair, and snappy brown eyes. Though rather noisy at times, this boy can send one into gales of laughter by his humorous remarks, his imitations, and his profound sighs. When Irish eyes are smiling, we all hope they will be HAZEL FITZ-HENRY’S. Luxurious curly brown hair, fair complexion and immaculate, good-looking clothes, characterize Hazel. She hopes to model clothes and we know she will be successful. KEITH FORREST has been known as “Doc” around school, but no one seems to know where he got the name. It doesn’t have anything to do with being a scholar, we surmise; nevertheless, if personality or good looks have anything to do with this game called Life, Keith will come out on top. Very active at Arlington, MARGE GARVIN is brilliant, artistic, and versatile, though she hasn’t the temperament that goes with these qualities. Good-natured and easy to get along with, Marge has many friends. Often her blue Buick is filled to capacity with riotous companions. She is especially fond of chocolate doughnuts, sleeping, and 1 . G. Wodehouse. ROBERT GIBSEN'S outstanding quality is his remarkable ability to concoct, in the chemistry laboratory. substances which emit those obnoxious odors that drive students toward the doors each afternoon. Perhaps, because of the fact that he has never been hampered by women, he has made a name for himself by his scholastic achievements. If silence is golden, Bob’s fortune is made. CARR GROSSMAN is known as the man of a thousand girls. His girl friends are found in every high school in Columbus. He carries a little black book, filled with many names, addresses and telephone numbers, known to all the males in Arlington. He should be made the executive head of a date bureau. Carr's pleasing smile is a good asset that helps his pastime very much. FRANKLIN GRLESSER was the “blond express” of last year’s football team. A great “doodler”, the margins of his papers are usually filled with complicated but artistic designs. Everything Bus does or attempts to do is done in earnest, and failure or success in his endeavor has a direct effect upon his nature. He likes to do things for others; he is highly conscientious. BETTY HALL is a little girl who does big things. With her athletic activity and scholastic achievements, she is one of the most all-round girls in the school. Very independent, Betty never fears to voice her opinion. She has to her credit one presidency, one gold basketball, and many friends. FRED HALL has a pleasant and amiable manner which makes him many friends. A subtle humor aids his poetic aspirations. He likes to fish and hunt. Though Fred is mild-mannered and polite he enjoys teasing. CHARLES HEATH is the twin who plays quarterback and dances, not the one who plays end and goes with Rita. Buddy’s ability as an entertainer is unsurpassed because of his versatility. Girls, please note: he is a smooth dancer and lots of fun. That Arlington version of the mad Russian that has us laughing all the time is the latter half of that twin combination. Buddy and BUD HEATH. He and his girl, Rita, are the accomplished terpsi-chorean artists we see moonin’ around the dance floor. A lovable young man at times, though truly a nut at heart. Bud has made a niche for himself in the graduating class of ’3I». If you ever hear a loud horse laugh floating through the halls, you’ll know that it’s the old burrhead himself, laughing at some outrageous joke (in all probability his own). This wrinkly-browed luckless Casanova we see around school isn’t as down-hearted as he looks. All kidding aside, DICK HER I, is really a conscientious, hard-working young man (when he isn’t out having a good time, listening to the radio, reciting somewhat dated jokes, and having a whirl with the girls). JEAN HERSHBERGER is the feminine counterpart of her brother, Pete (at least as far as athletics goes). Her expert diving is a contributing factor to placing our school on the map. Jeanie, however, has other accomplishments besides her athletic activities. Pretty, dark-haired, and soft spoken. Jean is one of Arlington’s best scholars. The short boy with the big blue eyes and the wide smile that you see in the halls at school is RAY HODDY. In school he likes physics and giving speeches, but when hunting season rolls around. Ray packs his gun and leaves school. “The Call of the Wild”, we guess. WILLIS HODGES, who can beat it out with the best of them, is the outstanding drummer at Arlington. His voice is unusual—usually it is deep and grown-up. but when he talks to Flo it changes. Hmm! In the line of sports, football and track claim his attention. JOAN HOHENSTINE is one of our most talented artists. Most of the posters around school are products of her skill. With her own puppets and scenery, she stages popular shows. Endued with a fondness for unique wearing apparel, she was the first to venture forth clad in wooden shoes and barges with bells. Clever, versatile, and fun-loving, Joan will probably become a famous puppeteer. One of our most pert blondes. El'NICE HUDSON, is an exception to the rule that blondes are dumb. She is the friendly young lady who has wholeheartedly joined in our activities since her arrival at Arlington three years ago. She has the touch of the devil in her eye, which makes her always look happy and always up to tricks, and which warns one that she is likely to be up to a bit of mischief. Eunice is one of the large group of girls who want careers. If she can talk as fast and as convincingly Page Twenty

“0 wad some Power the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us!” Robert Burns. Here is a refined, congenial, cheery chap. His studies are not burdens, but he is a scholastic success. We are all proud to have DICK ALEXANDER graduate from Arlington, but we are sorry that we did not have the chance to know him longer. JAMES ALLEN is a good-natured sport whose humor makes him well-liked. His favorite indoor sports are making model airplanes and taking candid camera shots of the glee club. He has gone into the latter hobby in earnest as he develops his own snaps. ROSS ALLEN is the energetic young man who makes himself seen and heard on almost any and every occasion. Everyone is immediately conscious of his wit. Outstanding in athletics, he is affectionately known as Arlington’s One Man Team.” He hopes someday to be able to play the sax” like Henry Busse. Bubbling over with enthusiasm and youthful spirit, Hugh-Ball (and his heinie hair-cut) provide the humor and relaxation for the rest of the senior class. AS ERNESTINE A LT HOFF’S radiant smile and cheerful disposition make her as sweet as she is pretty. We all hope that some day she will become famous playing her violin, on which she has practiced so diligently throughout her high school career. As a leader, as a scholar, and as an athlete. Ernie deserves acclaim. PRINCESS ALTICK. a new pocket-sized addition to our class this year, hails from Indiana. Her bouncy little-girl walk is one of her most endearing characteristics. It’s easy to see when Prin is particularly happy by her grin, which begins at one ear and ends at the other. Unfortunately, ihe cause for her radiant grin migrated to Cleveland in the middle of the year. DICK BKI.L is the possessor of an unsolvable personality. No one ever knows what he is going to do next. When this boy is not attending to his duties as president of the Hi-Y Club, he finds time to play in the band and orchestra, sing in the glee club, and play football. Loquacious and jolly, Dick's consummate ambition is to lend a swing orchestra. His presence first graced our school four years ago when he entered as a freshman. Since then his line appearance and genial personality have vaulted him, among other things, to the Junior Class presidency. It is hard to find a more even-tempered, likable girl than JULIA BEN BOW. She has a slight tendency to be almost late to school each morning, and we do mean, almost. Artistic and versatile, Julia is an accomplished actress and an impressive puppeteer. Impartial and unprejudiced, her sense of humor is ever predominant. A super pianist and dancer, DICK BEST is also in his spare time a soda jerker. In addition to these accomplishments, he is a storehouse of knowledge. Knowing all the news for miles around makes him quite interesting. Although Dick loves to tease people, he always does it in a good-natured way which no one resents. Five feet two with eyes of blue, describes diminutive MERRY BLACKFORD perfectly. An inimitable friendly cheeriness has won her friends and acquaintances from all parts of the city. Entering contests and working puzzles are two of her favorite pastimes. One has a hard time finding her behind the wheel of that big blue Packard. Her theme song is My Heart Belongs to Danny. MILDRED BOWEN, Baltimore. Maryland’s gift to Arlington, is a cheerful and friendly young miss. We are indeed glad to have her, even though it has been for only a year. Mildred seems to favor the South, and her next stopping place will be Duke University. She is one of those fortunate people who know just what they want, and how they are going to get it. SEE US MARYAN BURDORF loves to tease, which fact belies her business-like mind. She is a considerable help around the school, and we wonder what Miss Ogan will do without her. Incidentally, Maryan makes almost all of her smart clothes. CHARLES CARLSON has been envied all this last semester by us unfortunates who must go to school in the afternoon. At one time he paced the mile for the honor and glory of deah old Arlington.” His closest pals are college freshmen whom he entertains in his air-conditioned truck. Everyone around school knows SUE COULTER. She is the gal who adds that something to the Swing Band with her sweet songs. Sue can swinj, a mean paint brush too, as the walls of the art room testify. As if that weren’t enough for one girl, she is quite easy on the eyes also. JEAN DAVIS enjoys all sports and excels in them too. Her oratorical ability was discovered in Senior Speech Class, where she entertained her classmates with her nonchalant manner. She might be called a Dorothy Parker, as she has a keen sense of humor and in general conversation her remarks create fun wherever she goes. Our usually indispensable shadow, Deat, deserted us this winter for that more interesting and comfortable realm of the suntan, Florida. BOB CTHEES Paee Nineteen

to her business associates as she does to her present schoolmates, she will be a whiz in the business world. Accomplished in every sport, VIRGINIA HUN-SICK ER presents an athletic figure around the school. A good sport herself, she is lots of fun. Athletics, however, is not Ginnie’s only accomplishment. She quite often graces the art room with her presence. MARY LOUISE HUTCHINSON has attended Arlington for twelve years and in these twelve years she has managed to become involved in all matters and affairs pertaining to the music department. We know Mary Louise to be reserved and friendly. She is interested in dress designing and will probably study it in college. HOB IVES is a genial blond who is best described as always smiling, always busy, always lost. He is also quite a poet, as he will tell you himself. On the side, Bob finds time to write, paint, and indulge in athletics. The women seem to like him regardless of the fact that he may or may not wear crutches. This lad has risen from freshman obscurity to senior recognition and popularity. BUI) JAEGER is trying to live down the reputation of being a business man. This reputation was created by his many original ideas, such as bus trips and newspapers. If you aren't careful, however, he will sell you your own hat. The originator of the present photography fad around school, he has a large following of boys who. at the drop of a handkerchief, will pose for him real purty”. Photography is a hobby which seems to have turned into more or less of a business for this boy. MARILYN JOHNSON is known throughout the village for her irrepressible soprano voice. Nothing can dampen her adventurous enthusiasm, which delights and amuses her countless cronies. She absolutely will not accept T. L.’s on her head of luxurious black hair, found every Saturday bending over the church mimeograph. Impulsive, affectionate, spontaneous, Jonnee” has for a long time been first in the hearts of her classmates. AMY LEONARD’S three main hobbies are dining, dancing and dates; she has no trouble keeping up with all of them. Amy’s keen sense of humor enables her to pun more often on the spur of the moment than any other girl we know. Operatic solos, swimming pools and midshipmen please her. Seeking attainment, NANCY MARTIN has a definite philosophy of life, which she seems to be fol- lowing very well. Her many talents, her conscientiousness, and diligence have made Nancy successful in her undertakings, and have developed for her a forceful personality. PAULINE McNEAL, to a stranger, would seem to be a graceful and reserved queen accidentally placed in a classroom. Knowing her better, however, one finds she has an endless supply of wit which presents itself at dull moments to entertain her companions. Too, Pauline’s deep contralto voice is pleasant to hear. We made no mistake in electing REED MCCLELLAND Senior Class president, for his sound judgment excels all. This lanky lad is always well-dressed and neat. Reed’s voice is deep, and his tone is serious. Although he is rather set in his ways— especially on the subject of automobiles—he is a general good fellow and a friend to all. CAROLYN M ERR I MAN is one of the few Grecian Blondes” left. Very good-natured, she is ever ready to try something new. Carolyn likes all sports, and competes in them successfully. One of Arlington's feminine Robinhoods, she is the lone Arlington entrant in archery contests. She has many hobbies, tops among them being drawing and corresponding with students from foreign lands. TED .MILLER is the fellow with the low distinctive laugh. His first name is really Theodore, and from this have sprung his two nicknames, Ted and Thede”. He spends much of his time getting his Latin; however, he seems to enjoy it. Ted is prominent in sports, and was a loyal member of the football and golf teams. Ted’s friendliness and sense of humor have made him very popular with the boys. El) MINOR, a jitterbug of the first water, never tires at dances. He craves excitement and swing music, particularly Artie Shaw’s. He is often seen cruising around the village in his bright blue model A. Black wavy hair, all sorts of men’s jewelry, and leather craft characterize this man-about-town. KENNETH MORGAN is one of the big men of our class, both physically and otherwise. His high voice doesn’t seem to go with his large frame. Ken is a member of the golf team and tennis team and likes all sports. He is noted for his friendliness and sincerity. As one of our smooth cheerleaders, M RY Ml L-HOLLAND. by her good looks and liveliness, has made a definite contribution to the school. Intelligent, stubborn, witty, she gets much fun out of life. College students, clothes, and music of any variety are especially to her liking. BOB NADALIN’S hair takes up so much room that it seems hardly possible for him to carry the added weight of brain material; yet he breezes through his studies and still has time to spend deciphering his handwriting and delving into the unknown regions of chemistry. At 8:210- and at 12:29 2 there usually occur each day loud commotions in the hall. This is followed, just as the tardy bell rings, by PAUL NASH’S breathless entrance into the school room Page Twenty-one
