NINTH ANNUAL H1-SPoTs 3 THE MYSTERY HOUSE The senior class presented their first annual play, The Mystery House, March 27, un- der the capable direction of Mrs. Mullen. The play was good and was declared a success from all points of view. It was a mystery comedy, having every- thing from a black cat to a very peculiar poet. The leads were portrayed by Robert Barney, an author, Kath- leen Ramsby his wife. Remain- ing characters were: Donald Hite, relative, Rorothy Up- church, relative, Eunice Gault, relative, Melvin Jenkins, poet, Maxine Nixon, maidg Alva Harrington, executorg jim Ers- tecl, relative, and George Mat- suura, taxi driver. SENIOR JUNIOR PICNIC The seniors are looking for- ward to the traditional Senior- junior Picnic for this year, but, as ever, the final decision rests with the juniors. In former years, the picnic has been held at Oswego lake, with boating, swimming, tennis, hiking, and eating as the favorite sports. It is hoped that the tradition will be followed and Oswego lake will be selected as each gradu- ating class seems to leave a pleasant memory there, which is felt by the following graduates. OPERETTA Tigard's Glee Club successful- ly presented their annual oper- etta May 15 titled The Lucky Jade. The characters were: Downs, Bob Moore, Mrs. Courtney, Lesta Gillihang Liza, Kathleen Ramsby, Nancy and Jeanne, Babe Fish and Mary Jane Miles, Col. Waverly, Bert Sagersg Herbert, Bill, and Ted, Howard Hedrick, Carl Berlin, and Don Singletary, John En- dicott, Don Hiteg Mary Ann Courtney, Millie Becvarg Fan- chon, Kathryn Ross, Mr. Court- ney, Kenneth Owreyg Horace SPORTS The 1935 football team had a very successful year, having won five games and lost only four. The coach had a number of good prospects for the season, with the return of most of last year's lettermen and second string. The players made an exceptionally good showing on the home field, and a good showing on other fields. The second team gained experience in several games called for them, and those returning give promise of a strong team for next year. Closely following the football season came a successful siege of basketball, the Tigard team having a place at the top of the county list. This year's team has far excelled the previous year's team as a number of last year's players have returned to play as veterans. Being second in the county league entitles Tigard to a place in the county tournament at McMinnville. Last year's baseball team won all but three games. The team was well-balanced and coordin- ated perfectly throughout the season. The baseball season was paralleled by the track season, Tigard being represented in this sport even though we had no meets. ON HONOR ROLL lContinued from page lj have their names placed on the periodic honor roll, as a matter of fact, their percentage is a good deal larger than those of other classes.

The plot developed around the mistaking of Stuart Worthing- ton, fugitive bride groom, for Harry Lennon, author of The Excruceating Sinner. The cast included Nancy Gholson, jack Blankinship, Eve- lyn Sherk, joe Fowler, James Allison, Virginia Sims, Helen Vershum, Art Steele, Kathryn Ross, Robert Rue, Alice Mulloy, and Emanual Bectal. STUDENT BODY TICKET SALE sale of student body tick- this year met with great About eighty per cent student body purchased each class spurred on to the buying of more by the hope of winning the banner awarded for the class having the greatest percentage of sales. The senior class was success- ful in winning the banner, as was last year's senior class, by a very large number of pur- chases. Some bought theirs in support of the school, others, to take part in sports. DO YOU THINK? So often young people of high school age or thereabouts will either accept a fact or make a statement without due thought and consideration. To them, this is preferable because to think demands energy, even as a strenuous sport requires both physical and nervous energy. An athlete doesn't go immediately into the field and take part in a sport, but he trains, builds, and educates his body to meet the demands to be later placed on it. So it is with the mind. Now, as a student, is the time to train the mind. Quoting Ben Jonson, I re- member the players have often CContinued on page 4-J The ets for success. of the tickets,

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.

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.

IContinued from page 3D mentioned it as an honor to Shakespeare, that in his writing Iwhatsoever he pennedj he nev- er blotted out a line. My answer hath been, 'Would he had blot- ted a thonsand', but no one of today is a Shakespeare. One must weigh each remark, and study each decision. Later, in business or home life, each student of today will be required to use his own judg- mentg but how many will there be whose decision is to be relied upon? It is up to you, Do you think, are you going to learn how? I TIGARD'S GHOST Dear Friends, last midnight, whilst I read Weird tales of vast surprise, A spectre rose beside the bed And spake in this true wise. From Utopia's beautiful coast I've come to visit thee, For I am Tigard's Ghost, Says Tigard's Ghost to me. I bade him welcome, and we twain Discussed with bouyant hearts The various things that apper- tain To all the Senior Arts. Since you are fresh from Uto- pia's shore Pray tell me of that most Wondrous class of sixty-nine or more, Says I to Tigard's Ghost. The boys have entered into perfect restg For it is the life they've won. There are no teachers to molest. No under classmen there to dun. Their joyous rapture has no bounds Beside that Utopian sea, It is a joy to hear sounds, Says Tigard's Ghost to me. Much I rejoiced to hear him speak Of Senior bliss so rare For I am one of those who seek 'Rest, without a daily care. But tell me, I long to know What doth concern me most, IAre girls admitted there also? Says I to Tigard's Ghost. Women folks are few up there For 'twere not fair, you know, That the boys Utopian joy should share Who vexed them here at school below The few are those who have been kind To boys so careless and blind. 'They knew their faults, and didn't mind, Says Tigard's Ghost to me. To my dear friends I will re- cite What things I have heard you say About that Senior Class of might 24 COMMENCEMENT fContinued from page ll carefully, to make of themselves what they may. Minds well-oiled, imagination well-greased, and a set of new ideas will carry them far upon the many new and broad high- ways which will be opened to them on the evening of Com- mencement. FOOTBALL BRIGADE lContinued from page ZH Cheered on with shout and bell, Nobly they played, and well, Hear their supporters yell: Come on, the city! When shall their glory fade? Toast them in lemonade, Eighteen clear goals they made While they were ableg Theirs not to reason why, But pass the goalie by, And get as high as high In the league table. NEW BUILDING In keeping with the growth of the community and the in- creased enrollment of the stu- dent body, it has been necessary to make additions to our present building. The new addition is to be a gymnasium and audi- torium with a full basement which provides for shower and locker rooms for the boys and girls. Ample space has been allowed for manual training, which is to be added to the course of study for this next school year. The new gymnasi- um and auditorium provide for a large stage, basketball court, and balcony. Permanent seats are planned for the north side of the basketball court. Who dwells on other shores so gay. A better class you cannot find Will ever join the Utopian host, They've earned rewards and things so kind. Says I to Tigard's Ghost.
