ATHLETICS Tigard High School’s athletic teams were characterized by a substantial loss resulting from last year’s graduation. A good team was found for the football season, and much was done toward bringing up into place for next year’s team. Very few let-termen were available for basketball practice in the beginning of the season, thus causing Coach Smith to be forced to build an entirely new team from green material. The team was going in great fashion when the season ended, leaving very-promising prospects for next year. Despite the fact that several prominent baseball players graduated last year, a good baseball team was built around a few-last year’s lettermen. Track is being carried along with baseball this year as usual. A few track men will endeavor to carry Tigard’s name to glory-on the track. An unusual amount of credit for our team’s success, even despite the fact of having green material, is due to our coach, T. W. Smith. The Games of Life (Continued from page 1) siduously as we prepare for work. There are hundreds of young men made by football, found through basketball, and exhibited through track. School should be a training ground for life. The moral values of such team games as football, basketball, and tennis can not be over estimated. First we have the splendid element of good character known as “team play”. All in all, there are many-sports in which you can excel and obtain valuable training. It is pleasant to indulge in a sport which will grow with you and stay with you wherever you go. Take a Bite Out of Life (Continued from page 3) It is a job we must do for ourselves. Otherwise, in mental stature we remain children. But let us not think of high school life as merely preparation for an adult life to come. That idea is enough to kill anyone’s enthusiasm for school. Your high school career is four years of life; life is to be lived, not endured. Life is to be relished, not swallowed like medicine. Adventure, new experiences, fun for fun’s sake, new- friendships —are all a part of a full life. Of course, overdoses give you indigestion, no matter how delicious the taste. Take a big bite out of life. Dig in. Ask yourself every night, “What can I do today that I could not do yesterday?” Learn the joy of feeling yourself grow, of working through a task that starts out as a drudgery and ends with achievement. Take a big bite. Let your resolutions be difficult. Stretch. Avoid easy things. Popularity is pleasant—so be a good fellow, but being that alone will not wear well. The things that wear well in your fellow men are character, human-kindness, scholarship, and craftsmanship.

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.

MAY FETE ATTENDANTS Margaret Olsen, Lela Tooze, Public Speaking Play “The Mysterious Cane of Dr. Chang” was presented by members of the Public Speaking Club on February 22. This was one of the best mystery plays ever given by students at Tigard, and was presented to a capacity crowd. The characters were well portrayed by Thomas Fishburn, a Chinese gentleman, Kenneth Koeber, a young man of mystery, Helen Schmeltzer, his sister, Margaret Olsen, her friend, Evelyn Sherk, a Chinese girl, Eunice Gault, the aunt, Donald Hite, a friend, Jack Blankenship, a Chinese boy, and Howard Bockham, the sheriff. 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
