TWELFTH SENIOROEDITION THE HI-SPOTS yor xn TIG ARD, HIGH SCHOOL, MAY 19, 1939 SENIORS EDIT Tl-U ANNUAL The senior class of '39, fol- lowing in the footsteps of prc- vious senior classes, unanimous- ly voted to publish an edition of the Ti-U Tiger. There were three contests sponsored by the seniors throughout the different classes to further interest in this under- taking. The first was a contest be- tween the underclasses to see who could purchase the most Annuals. The juniors emerged victorious in this contest and were given a party sponsored hy the senior class. The second contest was to de- termine whether the boys or girls of the senior class could sell the most annuals. The boys emerged victorious in this con- test and were given rewards by the girls. The third contest was in two parts, to see who in the senior class could sell the first five annuals and who could sell the most. The winners in this con- test were Bob Earl, for selling the first five, and Tom Mcln- tyre for selling the most. EVENTS HOPED FOR The Junior and Senior Class picnic has been an outstanding event of past years. The class of '39 is eagerly anticipating the day, when as guests, it will par- take of the good things of life that the Junior Class and ad- visors so graciously provide. Also they are anticipating a Sen- ior Breakfast sponsored by the faculty in commemoration of the few last hours of the Senior Class. Rumors have reached us that this is a gala event, that the hosts are clever in the serv- ing of the breakfast. GRADUATION EXERCISES CLIMAX EVENTFUL YEAR SENIOR DANCE For the first social activity of the year the senior class held their annual informal dance on October 28. The dancers were entertained by Ivan Koeber and his 10-piece orchestra while numerous pump- kins and shocks of corn lined the floor to lend to the occasion a very festive appearance. Part of the proceeds of the dance went toward the school annual and the remainder was used to purchase a gift for the school. MAY DAY The 1939 May Day festivi- ties were ruled over by Queen Katherine I and her royal court consisting of La Verne Stafford and Thomas O'Halloran, sen- iorsg Eleanor Hunter and Mar- vin Hunt, juniorsg ,lean Sturm and James Worsham, sopho- moresg Audrey Martin and Robert Johnson, freshmen. The crowning of the Queen by Prime Minister Bud Selliken preceded the pageant when in- terpretations in dance of the theme HOregon by the sur- rounding grade schools were given. The schools participat- ing were Metzger, Tigard, Durham, Bend, and Garden Home. A baseball game between Ti- gard and Newberg was played in the afternoon continuing the day's festivities. The Queen's Ball in the eve- ning honoring Queen Katherine I and her royal court, climaxed the 11th annual May Day Fete of Tigard high school. 21 The perfect end of a perfect year-commencement. Fifty-seven seniors assembled on the stage to receive their diplomas after four years of school work and school activi- ties. Their motto, Not at the top but climbing, represented their ideas of the present and future. A formal program was pre- sented by members of the senior class which included a speaker, before the presentation of schol- arship awards and diplomas by Mr. Fowler, Mr. Leslie, school board. superintendent, and president of the Success is which urges through the that guiding star every graduate on problems of life. One can not capture the world in the first attempt. College is the next institution where one can take advantage of the benefits to be derived and fit ones self for another attempt. From all indications the June '39 class will continue its studies. TRIP TO SALEM A group composed of approx- imately forty-five seniors thor- oughly enjoyed an all-day field trip to several of the state's in- stitutions in Salem. The group visited the Senate and the House of Representa- tives, and as an added attrac- tion were conducted through the treasury department by Secre- tary of the Treasury, Walter Pearson. After lunch the group visited the Fairview Home for the feebleminded, where the state maintains a competent staff to care for the mentally deficient.

Glass Qbituary Died, on May 24th, 1939, in the fourth year of its age, the Senior class of the Tigard High School, from a rush of information to the head. The funeral services will be held in the Auditorium on May 26, and all friends are requested to attend, bearing flowers and gifts. The death of this class, although not sudden, is still a shock to the entire community particularly to the faculty, who had thought it might linger for another year. The loss of this class will be deeply felt in the community and it will be difficult to assem- ble another with so much public spirit and power of accomplishment. A great class has gone from us, and we mourn its passing consoling ourselves with this thought, He whom the Gods love dies while young. glass Epitaph Here lie the good Seniors whose genius was such We scarcely can blame it or praise it too muchg VVho, born for distinction, perfected their mind And, fraught with all learning, gave joy to mankind. They were equal to all things, for nothing unfit, They were pleased with their culture and proud of their Wit. They are missed by their class mates, their teachers as well, Who their virtues and wisdom now tearfully tell. Then in peace may they lie, our good Seniors, who now Have taken their finals and made their last bow. 20

A representative from the Curtis Publishing Company or- ganized the students into ten competing groups. The group selling the most magazines, and all of the students whose orders amounted to ten dollars or more were to have a one-day holiday in addition to the premium re- ceived by the school. The students who sold the most subscriptions and received salesmanship diplomas were Pa- tricia Cozey and Russell Barry. GIRLS' LEAGUE The Girls' League, organized in 1928, sponsors, each year, a bazaar for the purpose of fi- nancing its activities. Major activities of this year have in- cluded the purchase and making of new curtains for the League room and the library, the spon- soring of a Christmas party, en- tertaining the district conference of deans and girls, sending dele- gates to the Older Girls' Con- ference and State Convention, and honoring the mothers of all of the students at a party. The Mothers' Party was held on March 29 and the decorations carried out the spring theme. Last year the boys' mothers were invited to the party and because it was such a grand idea, it was repeated again this year. HI-SPOTS The Hi-Spots Staff completed a successful year in publishing the school paper under the lea- dership of Frances Crittenden, editor, and under the supervi- sion of Miss Fannie VVeaver and Mr. William Hare, advis- ors.

This was carried out in the dec- orations and in the program pre- pared by Mrs. Hargreaves. The program consisted of vaudeville acts, songs by the Glee Club, novelty dances and a hill-billy trio. The program was given against scenery representing the open range with cowboys and gypsies sitting around a camp- fire. After the program, a section of the auditorium was roped off for dancing to the music of Woody Hite's orchestra. The remaining section contained the booths and concessions, while the traditional smoker took place on the lower floor. The net profit for the carni- val amounted to S10S.86. TULIP TIME For approximately two hours Friday evening, March 17, those who attended the oneretta I'Tulip Time at the Tigard High School auditorium were transported to Holland for a gay holiday, filled with excitement, mystery, and romance. The story hinges around a party of American tourists, in- cluding Ned Baxter, and Dick Warren, under the guidance of Professor Theophilus McSpin- dle, instructor in botany, played by Clifford Alsen. Ned and Dick CEarl Schmalle and Bill Berrethl become interested in the trip when they land at Osendorf, Holland, and meet Katinka and Christina fPatri- cia Cozey and Edna johnsonj.

JUNIOR PROM Those who attended the an- nual Junior Prom, on February 11, spent an evening down South amidst floating butter- flies and swinging japanese lan- terns. During the early part of thr- evening Mr. Fowler introduced Irene Kellner, the '39 Prom queen, and presented her with a colorful nosegay. This year, as in previous years. the identity of the queen was kept a dark secret until she was introduced at the dance. After the queen's waltz, punch was served from the old wishing well, and danc- ing was resumed. The proceeds from the dance were used to sponsor the Junior class page in the Annual.
