2 Eighth Annual High Spots First Senior Play “Cat Came Back” The first senior play, “The Cat Came Hack”, was presented on March 29. The plot developed around a bride and groom who came to trouble over a cat. The bride and her father are completely dominated by Letetia Peters, the mother. The cast of characters included Thomas Fishburn, Margaret Olsen, Gilbert Wyatt, Doris Rahmig, Dirick Nedry, Gladys Carson, Joe Borden, Lei a Tooze, Don Tower, Betty Leedy, and LaVerne Cochran. PEP BANNER For the last two years, a pep banner has been awarded to the class presenting the best pep “skit” on the evening of the rally of homecoming. The seniors have won this award both years—last year on a skit before the Newberg game, and this year the evening preceding the Hillsboro game. The “skit” this year was a burlesque of the “Drunkard”, and it contained pep talks and jokes concerning the Hillsboro game. The pep banner is a large green and white square decorated with the head of a tiger and the names of the classes which have won it. Interclass Basketball For the third consecutive year, the seniors have won the inter-class championship, last year against the seniors, and this year by defeating a fiery freshman team by a rather one-sided score of 30 to 16. The game was in the senior's hands early, and remained safe throughout the game. However, the score at half time showed but four points variance. The seniors were awarded a beautiful trophy as a result of their victory. OUR MOTTO “It is infinitely greater to blaze a trail than to follow one” —this is the verse chosen by the Seniors as their motto. It does not mean that one should dash blindly into the untried paths of life, but that one should use discretion, and venture only where there is an opening. It is great to succeed following a path which someone else has blazed, but it is infinitely greater to blaze a new trail for others to follow.

Prexy (visiting classroom) : I say, professor, why do you keep this large box of apples by your desk. Surely, you don’t intend to eat them. Professor: Oh, no, I don’t eat them. You see, sir, our salaries have been cut so much lately that I sell them to the students. —Arizona Kitty-Kat. Twenty-two

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

Eighth Annual High Spots 3 SENIOR BREAKFAST All Senior (Masses have been given a meal By the faculty, so a breakfast, I feel, Will not come amiss to the class of thirty-five. I am sure every Senior will arrive On time, with manners and appetites, Ready to consume all viands with delight. We dislike to suggest so delicate a matter, But we have heard some breakfast chatter, That Fowler, Smith, Linn and Sievers Will cook, wash dishes, and eat leftovers, That Gregg, Mullen, Boyles, Weaver, Elwert, Eickmeyer, and Summers Will vouch for all social graces, of course mere rumors. So Seniors, my advice is not to start to diet, For all these rumors may not be right. Breakfast, dinner, supper or lunch, 'Fhe faculty have always helped the Senior bunch. TAKE A BIG BITE OUT OF LIFE High schools should have a New Year’s Day celebration all their own. It should come in September. All ordinary individuals progress by spurts. You prod yourself into spurts by making new resolutions. They push us into new programs of activity. At the beginning of the school year is the time when the most unambitious of pupils are in the mood for new resolutions. Principals, teachers, speakers, and parents seize this opportunity to urge us to achieve goals beyond easy reach. There is a deep broad chasm between childhood and manhood. Building a bridge to span that chasm is a task for high school days, (Continued on page 4) SENIOR WHO’S WHO LETTERMEN Earl Smith, Pat Cooper, Stewart Donaldson, John Conklin, Kenneth Koeber, Kenneth Johnston, Rodney Sims, Don Tower, Howard Beckham, Walter Nun-nenkamp, Byron Houston, Mer-win Selander, Dirick Nedry, Lee Goldhammer, Joe Borden, and Thomas Fishburn.

Mrs. Mullen directed ‘‘The Mysterious Cane of Dr. ('hang.” YOU ARE A MICKEY MOUSE Mickey Mouse, the great actor, is the national hero. When we rush to the movies to see that marvelous little follow go through motions of living, thinking, and acting like a human being, we laugh uproariously, and we are laughing at ourselves. It’s true, when we come to think about it, that in order to laugh at all, we have to laugh at each other, because we cannot laugh at a landscape, a situation, an animal, unless we have detected in it some human weakness, expression, or caprice. You do want Humor, do you not? Laughter is a great deal more healthy than either carrots or spinach. The Great American People seem to have lost the art of laughing at themselves, and indulge in the sport of laughing at Mickey. Is it fair to the brave little fellow? Lee Goldhammer, Howard Beckham, and Mabel Lawrenz. OPERETTA LEADS Edna Tooze, Lela Tooze, Earl Smith, Kenneth Koeber, Helen Schmeltzer, and Thomas Fishburn. T wenty-three
