A TRIBUTE TO THE FACULTY Counselors who guide and never dictate are the leaders and teachers of the most efficient high school. Good teachers are those with the ability to draw out what is the strongest and finest in every student. Good teachers have always been and always will be. The exceptional teacher of today will be ever present tomorrow. The training of teachers is established upon a broad base of culture, coupled with a well grounded knowledge of subject matter, increased by a true understanding of objectives, with an intelligent ability to make all branches of the curriculum serve a common purpose. Every school is its own laboratory. The educated mind is not a mere creature of its own time. Education is emancipation from herd opinion, self-mastery, capacity for self criticism, and suspended judgment. The Annual of 1935 desires to pay tribute to the faculty of the Tigard Union High School. Seven

A TRIBUTE TO MR. FOWLER The ideal principal of a high school is a man Emerson would call “Brother.” He is a man to be respected and beloved by the great and lowly. He needs all the graces and virtues that life can bestow, plus a rabbit’s foot in his pocket. He requires the sagacity of an owl, the patience of a stone, the energy of a volcano. He must be a scholar, versed in all culture, and yet a plain man able to exchange ideas with a child or a distressed parent. He must be a hard business man, a master showman and yet in private, a philosopher, and always a child psychologist. He must be flexible enough to adapt his program to the needs and traditions of the community. He must be able to take criticism. In short he must be a high powered miracle man, capable of accepting the heaviest responsibility. The Annual of 1935 desires to pay tribute to Mr. Fowler, principal of Tigard Union High School. Six

COLORS Black and Silver FLOWERS Gardenias MOTTO It is infinitely greater to blaze a trail than to follow one. THEME Mother Goose NEW PATHS Are we always going to follow ? Aren’t we ever going to lead ? These questions which are asked us Are important ones indeed, For— Our ships are now preparing To embark upon the sea, The sea of life, Where toil and strife Rule over Destiny. On these ships we are the captains The course is ours to steer. Will we creep along Whether right or wrong Because of storms we fear? Or will we embark upon new seas, Seas never sailed before ; And with Courage and Honesty as our guides New fields of life explore. But after our journey’s ended, After the storms we survive, Our hearts will be glad For this journey we’ve had In this year of thirty-five. And as we follow our trails to the very last bend We will be satisfied, If we’ve played the game square To each friend have been fair, Used perseverance as our guide. So work for honor—find trails unknown, In the search for new paths, travel alone. Eight
