Book Description

Excerpt from From Time to Time, 1927-1987 High school is said to be four of the best years ofour lives. To some, it is a time to learn and prepare for the future. But more than all that, high school is a time to have fun. Although some things never change, the definition of fun has changed in a big way over the past 60 years. In the earlier days of W - L, a large majority of the school attended the football games on Fri day nights. Although the attendance at games has increased in recent years, the stadium was far from sold out. Even so, our team always put out their best ef fort. In the '50's and '60's, the go-go boys increased the school spirit. They were athletes who attended other sporting events during their off-season. The basketball, crew and baseball teams would attend the football games and vice versa. Dances used to be a big thing here in Arlington. Students would grab a date and cruise on over 'to W - L's gym in Daddy's Studebaker. The tradition of attending school dances did not carry over into the '80's. Nowadays, if one has a date, he avoids the w-l dances. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
