FAREWELL MESSAGE Friends, it has fallen to our lot to bid you adieu, for our little band of Seniors will soon leave to join the great Clan Future. The feeling that we experience is one of mingled sadness and joy, of depressed spirits one moment and unbounded exultation the next. Our journey! Ah, the magic of that idea lends visions of tomorrows and still tomorrows end on end, each a new revelation. Once many of you stood in our places and dreamed the same dreams. You know how to sympathize with us. And you would temper your adieu with timely advice. “Beware,” you would say, “of too flighty dreams. The world is rather plebian after all, and is unsympathetic to dreamers.” And our reply must be, “We have an idea you are right. But we must contend, as all youth does, that the world must gradually give way to the dreaming of millions of young men and women who can keep their hearts young, even while their bodies are bent with the weight of toil and many years.” There is a tinge of sadness also in our hearts as we say adieu. But we bid farewell with confidence in our ability to join the great group outside our own clan, and hold our places among them. A certain degree of fortune must necessarily be ours. Be our fortunes in wealth what they may, however, we are strengthened by the knowledge that worthwhile characters will stand the acid test. “Man shall not live by bread alone” is one of our old sayings. Bread is necessary to sustain life. But even to the stoutest of us life would be a drab sort of existence were it not for some inner source of comfort, or spiritual satisfaction to sustain us. God grant that we may hold fast to those ideals that tend to build a solid foundation for strength of character that adds to the sum total of human happiness and human success. T iveitty

EIGHTH SENIOR EDITION OF THE HI-SPOTS Vol. Mil TIGARD HIGH SCHOOL, MAY ??, 1935 ANNUAL DRIVE DAY The seniors this year presented a novel way of advertising their annual. A program was given on January 23, which consisted of a model senior meeting, and a contest of guessing the different characters of Mother Goose which were portrayed by members of the Senior Class. Ruth G o h I s o n portrayed Mother Goose, and her children were: Little Boy Blue Howard Beckham Little Bo Peep Aleene Howard Old King Cole Olin Jenkins Little Miss Muffet Edna Tooze Simple Simon Malcolm Johnson Old Mother Hubbard Frances Lobdell Humpty Dumpty Joe Borden (Continued on page 4) Senior Trip To Salem The Civics classes, made up of almost seventy students, mostly seniors, journeyed to Salem on February 13. The students visited the State Legislature, the Oregon State Penitentiary, and the Fairview Home for the Feeble-Minded. A field day of this type will probably be set as a precedent for other classes, as the day was considered successful in every way. Mr. Smith was in charge of the classes. APPRECIATION TO TEACHERS The graduating class of Tigard Union High School wishes to express their feeling of gratitude and deep admiration to the teachers of our school. We realize that it would have been impossible for us to attain our goal of graduation without their everlasting aid and support. We, the Seniors, therefore thank them from the bottom of our hearts, and shall hold them in pleasing remembrance as an important part of our high school days.

This particular class of 1935 has lived up to the teachings of its motto in excellent form. May 24th will see the class in formal array, appearing before the public for the last time as a united class. The speaker of the evening will give the class facts that are to be treasured as bits of advice that will help us to blaze our trails. Our class motto will congratulate us—we will be happy, and yet—we will be sorry, for a very enjoyable four years period will have passed for us. We hope that we may be able to realize the ambitions that are found in the breast of each one of us—Commencement is here. It is ended; It begins. THE GAMES OF LIFE It must be more troublesome to be a high school student these days than it was in the dear dead days before physical education became a science. In those D. D. D. the most pressing problem confronting the Senior class was what they were going “to be”. The modern high school student has by no means been relieved of his vocation—all concerned—but, in addition to selecting for yourself a vocation for life, you are asked to choose a game or two for life. We must prepare for leisure as as-continued on page 4) Twenty-one
