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.

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.

4 TEN'l'll ANNUAL HI-SPOTS SPORTS WHO'S WHO SENIOR BREAKFAST The athletic S e a s on was PRESIDENTS Along in April the sun begins opened by the 1936 football team with three wins, five losses, and three ties. The team showed its power in the fact that it only received two decisive defeats, the other three being only by the margin of a conversion, 7-6. The second team was undefeat- ed and the underclassmen proved themselves to be mighty fine prospects for next fall. Soon after football came a highly successful basketball sea- son. With five returning bas- ketball lettermen, the team pro- ceeded to go places, winning n co-championship in Washing- ton county, taking second place in the newly formed Washing- ton-Columbia county league, and, in addition, taking champion- ship honors in the first annual Albany C ol I e g e Invitational tournament. The team advanced to the semi-finals in the district tournament only to be turned back by McMinnville. In a total of thirty games played during the season, the team gar- nered twenty-five v i c t o r i e s against five defeats. The baseball team of last year was also a championship team, meeting with only one county defeat. The superb pitching and the powerful hitting of the Tigers feature the year's play. The track team also made a fine showing in competition with much larger teams. The golf team also contributed its share to a most successful season.

The first function to be speculated about is the senior breakfast sponsored by the faculty. Rumors of the past have floated down to our recep- tive ears and here are a few of the sub rosa questions. Will the faculty sponsor a breakfast this year? What will they serve, ham, liver or toast and coffee? VVho does the cooking, Mrs. Summers, Mr. Linn or Coach Smith? Do the seniors have to wash dishes? Do they initiate the seniors? In fact there are lots of questions bothering this class, but the principal one is Will There Be A Senior Breakfastn?
