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 30 erers is or ram rm E ETTME Girls' League This year the Girls, League was headed by Helen Kleger, president: Eva Dola, vice-presidentg Mildred Niemela, secretary, and Esther Eilertsen, treasurer. The standing committees and the chairmen were as follows: Jenne Mustola, entertainmentg Helen Karvoncr.. social service committee: and Esther Eilertsen, finance committee. All feminine members of the faculty as well as all the girls of the high school were members of this league, while Miss Riggs held the post of faculty advisor. The greatest achievement of the league this year was the furnishing of a rest room. This was made possible as a result of the Tag Day sponsored by the organization on November 20, 1929. Enough funds were obtained to provide for a couch, table, rocker, and a chair. The pillows, curtains, and cover for the couch were made by student members. In the sale the classes were provided with various colored tags' which were sold by members for ten cents each. Keen competition was displayed among the various individuals as well as among the four classes, Naoma Brown and Helen Kleger taking individual sales honors, while the junior class won in the group competition. The rest room has long been needed in the school and has proved a worth while project for the organization. Meetings of the organization were held regularly on alternate Weeks and throughout the year the girls were entertained by townspeople and student speakers.
