ELEVENTH ANNUAL H1-Seors 3 CARNIVAL The carnival held November 24 proved profitable for the stu- dent body who sponsored the af- fair. The new gymnasium was brightly decorated to carry out the theme, Down in Dixie. Darkies sang and frolicked on the stage and painted paper negroes, watermelons, and bas- kets of cotton gave a festive appearance. After the program, everyone made merry at the many booths, which included the wheel, fish pond, punch board, darts, nigger babies, nail driv- ing, confetti, and refreshments. An orchestra provided music for those who wished to dance. The profits obtained amounted to one hundred and ten dollars and this money was placed in the student body fund. OPEN HOUSE As the second week in No- vember was National Education Week, the faculty decided to ac- quaint the parents of the high school students with the daily routine of their children. Mothers and fathers took the places of their sons and daugh- ters the night of November 10, when they were taken through the daily schedules of their chil- dren, by the high school faculty. The teachers of each class ex- plained how they were teaching their students and generally ac- quainted the parents with the particular class.

Following the skits and the announcement of the winners, everyone attended the bonfire behind the school. The Fresh- men had worked diligently and had built a huge fire which in- creased the enthusiasm shown by the yells and serpentine around the fire and through the town. FRESHMEN RECEPTION A bevy of bewildered boys and girls started high school in a very undignified manner. Grease paint, green hair rib- bons, and the smack of paddles embarrassed the timid freshmen, but they were given a treat as an atonement. A reception was held and the freshmen invited as guests of honor. They were entertained by an amusing skit And the Lamp Went Out , presented by members of the senior class. The reception ended with the serving of ice cream to the en- tire student body. MOTHERS' AND DADS' CLUB The mothers and fathers of Tigard High School students or- ganized a club, October 19 at the high school. Mrs. L. Miner was chosen president, Mrs. W.

ANNUAL SALES The senior class of 1938, as have all ten other senior classes, decided to edit a school annual. Their quota of 200 sales was reached on the closing date set by Mr. Fowler. The last few sales needed were made at an assembly held for that purpose. A reward was given the audi- ence when a certain number of sales were made, Shirley Patton gave Ray Grant a kiss, but the expectant audience was disap- pointed because the kiss was candy. The receipts were placed in a hat and a number drawn. Hel- en Shumway won the free an- nual. More names were drawn and prizes of basketball tickets were given. Betty Schubring won a free annual for selling the greatest number, eighteen. The Junior Class purchased the most annu- als of any class in the school. GIRLS' LEAGUE The Girls' League passed a successful year under the ad- visorship of Mrs. M. McKeown.

This organization, consisting of all the girls in the school, is very helpful to the girls, and beneficial to the school.

Here he finds ro- mance with the president's sec- retary CMarjorie Baloghj and loyalty with the president of the soap factory, CDonald Single- taryl and the office boy COtto Baloghl and worker fl-Ioward McCarlD and the advertising manager CDonald Beckhamj.

SPORTS With the coming of fall and the opening of school, football was in the air, and it wasn't long until Coach Smith was put- ting his proteges through their paces. The football team this year was composed of very few lettermen and lacked weight. As a result the boys won three games, lost five, and tied one. Three of the defeats were de- cisive, according to the scorc, but in yardage gained and first downs made, the teams were evenly matched. At the outset of basketball season, prospects were very bright. With three returning lettermen from last yearls cham- pionship squad, the team fared very well. During the season they won fifteen games and lost eight. However, three of these defeats were one point affairs, and two others were by margins of two points. Highlights of the season were the winning of second place in the Washington County League and second place in the Albany tournament. The baseball team of last year was without its former members of the previous year's champion- ship nine. Consequently, the Ti- gers were beaten in a majority of games. The chief cause of defeat was the lack of potency on the mound where only one good man was available.

The faculty delights in keep- ing the affair very secret. Not until a certain morning at eight o'clock will when? where? how? why? and who will wash the dishes ? be answered to any satisfaction. Until that time only one thing is certain, if there is a senior breakfast, the faculty will prepare the food for fifty- three hungry seniors, who had been eagerly anticipating the event for weeks previous. BEGINNERS' PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS PLAY Members of the Beginners' Public Speaking Class presented a play, Romance in a Boarding Housel' on the afternoon of April 1.

SENIOR BARN DANCE The senior class sponsored a barn dance held in the new gymnasium in October. The decorations were plenti- ful and attractive. Bales of hay, milk stools, buckets, lanterns, horseshoes, and pumpkins lent a barnish atmosphere. Even cardboard chickens were sitting in nests on the basketball bas- kets. Painted horses and cows grazed on the walls. Many girls in print dresses and boys in overalls helped to make the dance a prosperous one.
