OVQ WOW V VVe are leaving Upper Arlingf ton in a time of peace. The years behind have been the darkest and most desperate the world has ever known, but ahead is the hope of universal freedom. We can have a share in shaping the destiny of this new-found peace, and we feel the responsibility. During the past four years we have combined carefree fun with many hours of serious thinking and preparation. Now that gradu- ation has come, most of us find it ii little difficult to leave, even though we are eagerly looking for- ward to fulfilling our ambitions. Our sincerest wish is that the training we have received here will enable us to face the exacting demands of the future. As we part from our classmates ind teachers to enter industry or go into further training for our life's work, we must never forget the meaning of this moment. It is our privilege to dedicate ourselves to develop the promises of our na- tion and to do everything possible to achieve the four freedoms around the world. Now as we look toward the fu- ture. you, the reader, will see in the following pages the record of our four years in high school. Page Four

Plans for additions to both the ele- mentary and high school buildings have been drawn up. The high school building was completely equipped with radio facilities this year, including a modern broadcasting studio and a public address system to all rooms. The School Board was instrumental in the expansion of the music, dramatic, arts and crafts, and journalism departments. Through the School Board, the school was opened to community clubs for their own use and a recreation program was operated in co-operation with the city. The theme of the Arlington Parent-Teacher Association this year was to provide opportunity for the community to observe several phases of school work. All business of the P. T. A. was transacted by an executive commit- tee. The programs were designed to interest parents, to inform the com- munity about school matters, and to give students the experience of partici- pating in the public relations programf stated Herman Tice, president. The Upper Arlington Booster Club was organized last year for the pur- pose of promoting and boosting worthwhile school activities. Early in the fall, the Boosters had lights and a public address system installed on the ath- letic field. With the newly organized high school marching band in need of new uniforms, the Booster Club sponsored a campaign to raise the funds to pay for these uniforms. The Boosters also sponsored the mailing of the first four issues of the Arlingtonian to all homes in Arlington.
