NINTH SENIOROEDITION THE HI-SPOTS Vol. IX TIGARD HIGH SCHOOL, MAY ??, 1936 E '36 SENIQJBS WHIP ANNUAL JINX SENIOR STUDENTS- ON HONOR ROLL Completing four successful years of high school, nine senior students have carved their names in the niche occupied by the honor students. Nine honor stu- dents from a class of 69 is a very good percentage, showing that, not only are the teachers of Tigard capable of instructing the students, but the students are capable of extensive study and concentration and have very satisfactorily finished their high school course. The students with excellent grades are: Alice Mul- loy, Bob Barney, Jim Ersted, Louise Harrison, Eunice Gault, Nancy Gholsnn, Joe Fowler, Evelyn Sherk, and Margie Langer. These honor students also rep- resent a great number of stu- dents of the whole school to QContinued on page 35 COMMENCEMENT With the end of the Com- mencement Services on May 29 the seniors place behind them the second milestone in the high- way of life. Grade school was the first, high school, the sec- ond, and, if college is not to be the third, a direct road to the business world will be fol- lowed. They will then be on their own, to follow the high- way as they like. They may proceed fast and recklessly, slow and fearfully, or moderately and CContinued on page 41 ANNUAL SALES The 1936 Annual, as well as the '36 Seniors, will always have the distinction of having reached their quota, 200, on the day set to close the quota sales. Some last-minute campaigning in the auditorium by the class presi- dent brought forth the necessary two or three purchasers needed to put the sales over the top. james Allison, by dint of hard work and excellent salesmanship, captured the awards given, by the large sum of 24 Annuals. The other Seniors cooperated splendidly, too, in securing the necessary subscriptions. In order to carry out the theme of Superstition for the Annual, the date for the end of the sales contest was set for Fri- day, December the thirteenth: thus allowing 28 days for the ambitious Seniors to sell their lot. The students also decided to award a banner to be used only by the classes reaching their quota on time. IN MEMORY The instructors of Tigard have been a great help to the graduating seniors during their school days, and they wish to use this opportunity to thank the teachers from the bottom of their hearts. The seniors will always cherish their friendship, and the aid they have given the fContinued on page 3l 2 I THE SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENTS jack Blankinship, Kathleen Ramsby, Arthur Steele, Joe Fow- ler, Donald Hite, Dorothy John- son, and Robert Barney.

In high school, they have trained themselves com- mercially and in literature, re- ceiving the fundamentals for their future schooling either in college or in Life's School. Some have learned an appreciation of literature, some, of music, and some, of drawing. Each of these will aid in relaxation or in over- coming some disappointment, unless these studies become vo- cations. The seniors are well prepared for the future, each having made use of the advantages of- , fered in high school.

2 NrN'rH ANNUAL H1-Svors PEP-BANNER The Pep-banner, a perennial award, was won by the seniors at the football rally. After a day of hard labor by the fresh- men, in a cold wind, the rally bonfire was stacked. However, that was only a portion of the activities. Each class practiced its stunt to be given on rally night, and the band was busy polishing the brass. At last, HaIlowe'en Night, the eve of the Forest Grove game, arrived. The program consisted of a skit from each class, band pieces, and yells. ,l.M-T- SUCCESS OF HI-SPOTS For the first time since 1932, the students of Tigard pub- lished, semi-monthly their school paper known as the Hi-Spots. Under the skilled supervision of three advisors, Miss Boyles, Miss Weaver, and Mr. Linn, the pub- lication proved successful in both a literary and financial sense. The distribution of the four- page Hi-Spots was eagerly con- templated on every second Tues- day afternoon by approximately 190 subscribing members and non-members of the student body. Several seniors took part in producing this paper, and the publication met with approval after having lain on the shelves for the past three years. SENIOR BREAKFAST It has been the custom each year for the teachers to give the seniors a breakfast on the Thursday before graduation. Al- though it has not been definite- ly decided to have one this year, if they do, it will be on the twenty-eighth of May. Teachers, forming various committees, will prepare the food for the break- fast, after which the students will be instructed in the ways of properly conducting them- selves during the Commence- ment exercises. SENIOR DANCES The first Senior Dance was held in the high school gymnasi- um on October 25, the dancers filling the floor to capacity. The decorations carried out the Su- perstition idea of the seniors, and also agreed with the season, for it was very near to the time of ghosts and goblins, Hallow- e'en. The walls were hung with black cats and witches rid- ing brooms while the lights sup- ported black and orange crepe streamers. Numerous pumpkins and apples lined the floor at the foot of the stage, giving the au- ditorium a very festive appear- ance. It is hoped that the sec- ond Senior Dance will equal the first. The second Senior Dance will probably agree with its season, and be a sport dance. ,lil IMPORTANT EVENTS The important events of the year are: September- Freshman Reception. October- Senior Dance, Sophomore Pro- gram, Rally Night. November- Carnival, Public Speaking Program. December- Christmas Cantata, Public Speaking Play Has Anyone Seen Jean? , Football Ban- quet, Girls' Bazaar. February- Junior Prom, Hi-Y Program, Girls' League Mothers' Party. March- Commercial Program, Senior Play Mystery House. April- Senior Dress-Up Day, State Typing Contest, County Typ- ing Contest, Music Tourna- ment, Dramatics Play Guess Again, Public Speaking Play The Alley Daffodillf' May- May Day, Second Senior Play Home Again Harry, Oper- etta Lucky jade, Senior- Junior Picnic, Freshman- 22 PRECEDENTS SET The Seniors have established many precedents to be upheld by future classes. They not only started an Annual Banner to be given to the classes who reach their quota on time, but they also reached their quota on time, thus being the first flass to get their name on the banner. They furnished an editor and several assistants for the reviv- al of the Hi-Spots, and started a Hi-jinks Program to bring forth our talented students. l.Li.l SCHOLARSHIPS Several Oregon colleges, State Schools and Independent Uni- versities alike, will award seven or eight scholarships to deserv- ing '36 seniors. Those receiving scholarships must have excellent grades, and must make their ap- plications in time enough to al- low those awarded and not used or those unapplied for to be given to some deserving stu- dents, in either this high school or another. To receive a scholarship is not only an honor, but it helps to defray college expenses and it gives one the business prestige of a diligent person. SENIOR REUNION The seniors have decided that as a body, they will assemble after graduation. The date set for the reunion is August 30, 1936, and the place is Roamers' Rest. A committee chosen from the class will send out invita- tions as reminders a few days before the reunion. CHARGE OF THE FOOTBALL BRIGADE Half a league, half a league, Pass it-oh, pretty! Let's have another one! That's the crowd's ditty. CContinued on page 41 Sophomore Picnic, Commence- ment, Second Senior Dance.
