p , Tl-IE TIGER Aw Zi . H C. H. S. Carnival Witches, black cats, clever booths, and loads of confetti, all the paraphernalia of Hallowe'en greeted the visitor to the Halloween Carnival given by the High School on November 1, 1929. After a program which consisted of weight-lifting by Arnie Sund- berg, champion middle-weight lifter of the United States, High School Quartet, Clown Frolic, Rube Chorus and a short play, Captain Kidd and What He Did, interspersed with grade school entertainments, the booths were opened and all made merry. The gymnasium was entirely surrounded by booths and in spite of somewhat cramped quarters, crowds of people were seen throwing confetti, trying their luck at the booths, and generally having a glorious time. The Tea Garden, sponsored by the junior and senior classes on equal terms, was the greatest success. Other booths such as novelties, hot dogs, fish pond, old hats, and the grab-bag, all sponsored by classes or organizations, received marked attention. . All those present agreed that it was the most successful and enter- taining carnival held. To prove this statement the confetti lay sev- eral inches deep on the floor waiting for the janitor. Declamation Three silver medals brought home by the C. H. S. declamatnry contestants awarded our high school second place in the county de- clamation finals. Under the careful direction of Miss Bolton, each member of the class was given a tryout in front of the general assembly and decisions were made giving iirst places in dramatic, humorous, and extempora- neous- divisions to Mary Hall, Laura Hall, and Violet Wellington, respectively. The contestants competed in the district contest without success, but rather than stop at a defeat, they entered the county finals and brought back three second places to add to the other Tiger victories. The schools entering were Rainier, St. Helens, Scappoose, Vernonia, Birkenfeld, and Clatskanie.

THE TIGER Z3 latskanie Tiger Hi-Lites Published by junior Class, C, H. S. Annual Number Hi-Lites Honored at State Contest The Tiger Hi-Lites won hon- orable mention again this year at the annual journalism con- test sponsored by thejournalism department of the University of Oregon. This is the second year thc Hi-Lites has won honorable mention and next years junior class, which undertakes the responsibility of publishing the paper have bright hopes of cap- turing the cup from Burns for suggested improvements will be worked out next year. Journalism Losers Give Theatre Party The losers of the first jour- nalism copy contest, led by Lila Rasmussen, were hosts at a theater party given in honor of the victors, under the leadership of jenne Mustola, on Tuesday, March 25. In addition to the exciting outdoor picture Sunset Pass, special music was furnished by three Portland musicians, in- cluding Mr. Sherman, C. H. S. orchestra leader. This method of entertaining was enjoyed by all the students. Esther Eilertsen Is Best Reporter English III this year has not only given all the students a practical journalism course but has also uncovered real talent for this line of work. Esther Eilertsen won individual honors in writing Hi-Lites copy and it was this that won for her the post as its editor. Mary and Laura Hall deserve credit for their faithful work, while others deserving honor- able mention are Eva Dola, Anne Barkman, jenne Mustola, Lila Rasmussen, and Lila En- busk. EDITORIAL STAFF Elected from junior Class A Dream As we gaze into the future with dark, prophetic eye, the mists of the future drift aside for a moment and ere it darkens again we catch the glimpse .... Progress ,... A great journal- istic organization ,.., a com- plete newspaper published each week . . . our own presses . , . business management for the publication . . . an advertising department . . . All under a highly specialized journalism department. , . . The vision clouds and fades. All is dark. Our Newspaper A newspaper exercises a far- reaching influence over any community and this is especially true of the school community. The Hi-Lites welds public opin- ion and points out faults. It agitates and educates for re- forms. The Hi-Lites trains each junior class in practical jour- nalism, creates an interest in such work, ferrets out journal- istic talent, The paper links the school to the town. Many taxpayers read it eagerly and eventually sym- TTT No one in the junior English class is as imperious to the femininecharmsasEdwinErick- son. He sleeps in the presence of Madame Time. T T T We Wonder-Whether our editor writes any editorials. T T T Will ye junior editors ever break into print or even the printing business? pathetically. One might wonder that the best sports writer on the staff should be a girl if it were not for the fact that her name is Eilertsen. Girls Are Chosen For Hi-Lites Editors The junior English class chose at the beginning of the school year Alice Niemela to Fill the post as Hi-Lites editor with Harvey Hautala, Violet Well- ington and Ted Karasti as her assistants. At the close of the first con- tcst which covered the Hrst twelve weeks of school, the class decided to allow the star re- porter, as far as quantity was concerned, to automatically take over that post. Esther Eil- ertsen was then made editor and her assistants were Mary and Laura Hall and Anne Barkman. Due to the same rank in individual honors at the end of the second contest, the staff remained the same for a third contest, which ended the last week of school. Keeping scrap books formed a part of the required work done by the journalism class this year. Each student watched the columns of the Hi-Lites with interest and cut out every inch of copy that he had written. Some scores were astound- ingly large, while others-well, the less said the more comfort- able it might be for some who simply couldn't develop a nose for news. We wonder- Who'll take over the mighty responsibility of the editor of the Hi-Lites next year. How many ofthe futuristic reporters recognize their own stories. Teacher: And what, Tyler, is Michaelmas7 Tyler: Ivlike's birthday, I guess. Stranger: is your mother at home? Howard S.: Do you think I'm beating this carpet for my health?
