2 Ts NTH ANNUAL H1-SPoTs RALLY NIGHT The fact that the rally stunts were a big success was proved by the enthusiastic laughter and applause of the friends and students gathered. Immediately after the pro- gram, everyone went to the blazing fire. Thus a great deal of pep was displayed by the crowd which serpentined around the fire and took part in many yells led by the cheer leaders. After a short conference the judges awarded the pep banner for 1937 to the junior class with the seniors running a very close second. The rally took place on the night before the game with Hillsboro which took place on Armistice Day. INTERCLASS BASKETBALL GAME The mighty senior class of 1937 captured the interclans basketball trophy, sponsored by the student body of Tigard High school. The seniors dropped the jun- iors for the top notch after they had defeated the freshmen on Wednesday. The final game was very close with both teams fighting hard for the honors. The sophomores and freshmen were eliminated in the first games. The juniors defeated the sophomores and the seniors beat the freshmen. Although these two teams were eliminated they showed some very excellent material which will be of value to the school. A charge of five cents at the third and final game gave the student body the necessary funds for engraving the interclass bas- ketball trophy. ANNUAL SALES This year, the senior class was faced with the same problem as every other senior class in the history of I-ligard Hi School has been faced with: that of editing the school annual. A quota of two-hundred annual sales was set as a minimum and this was obtained by Christmas. An auc- tion was held in an assembly at which many annuals were sold. The sophomores showed splen- did school spirit by purchasing more annuals than any other class in the school. For this they were rewarded by a show and candy feed at which the rest of the classes attended by a paid admission. CHRISTMAS PROGRAM As every year at this time a Christmas program was present- ed at the final assembly held in the new auditorium before the school was dismissed for the Christmas holidays extending through the new year. The Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, was presented by the Dramatics class under the direction of Miss Frances Nash. The chorus sang a num- ber of Christmas carols and Helen Gango sang a solo 0 Little Town of Bethlehem. Letters and numerals were then awarded the football boys by Mr. Smith. As a conclusion Mrs. Elwert presented awards to the typing and shorthand students. Cast in The Christmas Carol Scrooge ............ Donald Singletary His Nephew .............,..

But it wasn't as bad as it might have been and it was climaxed by the annual freshman recep- tion, Friday, September 18. The reception program con- sisted of a marimba solo by Alene Hall, a skit entitled Dr. Jekyll and Frankenstein put on by Stuart Rhodes, Bud Selliken and Dewey Talent, and a vocal solo by Mary Jane Miles. The climax of the afternoon was the big ice cream feed, with the freshmen as guests of honor. THE GIRLS' LEAGUE Every year, the main project of the Girls' Club is to sponsor a bazaar. This year's bazaar a gratifying success to the The proceeds were suffi- to equip the League room necessary supplies, obtain page in the Annual, and a lovely party for their was girls. cient with their have mothers. The girls meet once each month. After the business meet- ing, a program is given by the different classes, starting with the freshmen and a prize is giv- en for the most entertaining one. The Girls' League is one of the outstanding organizations of school and the benefits are many. 22 ONCE IN A LIFETIME The senior class play, Once In a Lifetime or Blood Will Tell, under the supervision of Mrs. Mullen was presented May 7 and deemed a grand success by all. The play was a romantic comedy in three acts and an epilogue. It took its name from an enchanted gypsy village which was said to appear once a century with a gypsy tribe in- habiting it for a day and then disappearing. The plot centered about a gypsy youth who had been adopted by a white family and had attained a small fortune through a gift from his foster- parents. The people of his race entered upon the scene and tried to obtain his money only to be foiled by the village halfwit. The play had numerous highly- dramatic scenes coupled with music and light comedy. The cast of Once In a Life- time included: Jeff Ross, inn- keeper, Gordon Moore, Emily Ross, his wife, Edith Apple- berryg Konrod, their adopted son, Kenneth Owreyg Laurie York, their neice, Betty Selli- keng Dinsmore, an author, Dewey Talentg Rodney, village half-wit, Stuart Rhodesg The Daro, Max Miner, The Daya, Irene Becker, their daughters, Katinka, Carmena, Zara, ,june Collins, Helen Gango, and Dor- othy Reamg and Stan, Cecil Branch. THE SENIOR . HARVEST DANCE The Senior Harvest dance held November 6 in the new high school auditorium was a grand success both socially and financially. The success accord- ed the seniors was only fitting for the first school dance of the year. Decorations carried out the theme of harvest. The en- tire gym was lined with shocks of corn stalks interspersed with the brightly colored leaves of autumn, and the typical gather- ings of the harvest of pumpkins and squashes. pair of large lighted Jack - o - lanterns were placed on either side of the stage and a typical harvest moon found its way into the scene. The lighting scheme was exemplified by strings of soft colored lights. The decorations were the basis of much favor- able comment and furnished an excellent setting for a truly fine dance.

TENTH SENIQR EDITICN THE HiisPoTs Vol. X I TIGARD HIGH SCHOOL, MAY ??, 1937 CLASS 0F '37 OVERCUMES CAP AND GOWN BOGEY COMMENCEMENT The last week in May is Commencement week for the Class of '37. Commencement will remain in our memories long after school days are past. The Class of '37 will be the first to be graduated from our beautiful new auditorium. The seniors will look back upon this week as one of the high lights of their school life. In Caps and Gowns, -I-0 seniors will participate in the closing exercises of their school life.

Always the seniors will re- member their years at Tigard. Especially will their senior year remain in their memories. SENIOR MOTTO Preparing Today, Achieving Tomorrow, expresses the pat- tern of our life highway, each curve becoming more complicat- ed. In grade school our prep- aration for high school was the first goal post on our highway. Many dropped by on a side road, but still our preparation continued. High school training made our chances bigger and better in the more numerous fields of life such as science, commercial, history, government, and the appreciation of the finer curves of life. Achieving tomorrowl' largely depends upon the thoroughness of our preparation and of the determination to make the next goal. Each senior has had equal op- portunities in high school. Now the test of achieving begins. SENIORS WIN TICKET SALE For the third consecutive year the senior class has won the banner for the class having the largest percentage of student body ticket sales. The percent- age of the seniors who purchased tickets was comparable to the number of purchases made by last year's senior class. A vast majority of the stu- dents in school enrolled as mem- bers of the associated Student Body to set that body off to a flying start for the school year. Competition was keen for the banner as one might well expect. As a result of these sales, it was again possible to publish the school paper. MAY DAY PAGEANT Tigard Union High School held their annual May Day ex- ercises on May 14. The theme of this year's pageant being The Seasons which was in- terpreted by song and dance by all the affiliated schools. The grade school of Tigard interpreted the season of Spring, Bendg the season of Summer, Durham, the season of Autumn and Metzger, interpreted the season of VVinter. The High School gave the May Pole Dance and interpre- tation of the holidays. Miss Peggy O'Neil was Queen of May Day with the following attendants: Prime Minister, Max Minerg S e n io r Attendants, Elaine Olson, VVilbur Nybergg Junior, Charlene Gaddis, Ervin A s h m o r eg Sophomore, Vera Steele, Paul Rasmussen, Fresh- men, Virginia Gaddis, and Ar- nie Ingalls. The Court of the Seasons was interpreted by Betty Selliken, Jeannette Mallet, Eileen Collins, Edna Stromquist and Edith Appleberry. 2 I CAPS AND GOWNS INAUGURATED By a sizable majority, we, the senior class of nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, saw fit to in- troduce on this the tenth anni- versary in the curriculum of Tigard Ilnion High School, the wearing of caps and gowns. We deemed it appropriate on such an auspicious occasion as the tenth annual graudation cere- mony of our beloved high school that we do something significant by which the passing of ten years in the life of this institu- tion of higher learning he marked in years to come. Yes, marked as the tenth class to emerge from this institution with a broader knowledge and better understanding of the things that are expected of us from the society in which we are to live. Indeed, the road has been long and a bit narrow in places. In fact, of the ninety-seven classmates who enrolled in the freshman class of this high school in 1933, less than one-half that number are graduating to- gether in the class of '37. Yet we are confident that it has been a worthwhile trip and that ultimately we will profit by our efforts and the efforts of our parents, teachers, and friends. APPRECIATION TO TEACHERS When we pause to consider the time, consideration, patience, and work our teachers have be- stowed upon us, words fail us in giving them due recognition of their worth. They have earned our eternal gratitude, and grate- ful acknowledgement is due them for their efforts in our be- half. The faculty may be sure that our appreciation for them will and increase through the years that they will be forever enshrined in the hearts of the members of the class of 1937.

The auditorium and booths were attractively decorat- ed in accordance with the theme, Thanksgiving. The decorations were ably planned and carried out by the members of the art class. The evening commenced with a program consisting of a play Pot Boilers, given by the Dramatics class, and several Spanish musical numbers, pre- sented by the combined Glee clubs. Among the turkeys and the pumpkins which decorated the walls and booths, and in spite of the showers of confetti and the music of a variety of noise makers, the booths which included the wheel, ring games, nigger baby, punch-board, all of which, by the way, offered prizes, and the refreshments, played a large part in the gaiety and fun of the evening of this year's carnival. However, that was not all of the entertainment! The orchestra furnished the mu- sic for those who wished to dance. THE LETTERMEN'S CLUB The lettermen's club is an or- ganization of Vars-T winners in major sports. Its duties are to patrol school, keep grounds clean, and to promote better sportsmanship among the stu- dents. The lettermen's club sponsors an annual smoker which is al- ways a success and also this year they promoted a grade school basketball tournament be- tween Tigard, Beaverton, St. Marys, and Aloha-Huber for school publicity as well as the financial end. This was success- ful financially as well as pub- lically, and received favorable comment on the way it was handled. - Barbara Schiewe- Durham-Col. Prep. Betty Selliken- Tigard-Col. Prep.
