2 TWELFTH ANNUAL HI-SPoTs MAGAZINE SALE By sponsoring a magazine sale an electric scoreboard was added to the equipment of the school. 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.

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.

The operetta, under the di- rection of Mrs. Hargreaves, was very colorful and interestingly presented. 22 THE MOTHERS' AND DADS' CLUB The Mother's and Dad's Club, continuing their second year of activity, sponsored sev- eral worthwhile projects, the proceeds of which went to pay for athletic equipment purchased last year. The officers elected for this vear are as follows: president, Mrs. Sellikeng vice-president, Mr. Bilyeug secretary, Mrs. Greeng treasurer, Mrs. Froman. 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. SENIOR CLASS PLAY Under the direction of Mrs. Mullen, the senior class play, Honeymoon Hotel, was pre- sented in the high school audi- torium on May 12.

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.

This country of ours and its free institutions have cost so much in treasure, sacrifice, and blood, it is so blessed with comforts and culture, with knowledge and happiness, its freedom has been so dear to us, and means so much, not only to us, but to our children, and our children's children, to the last generation, it has been so much a power for good and righteousness in the world, the Lord has smiled so kindly upon our country and upon the welfare of us, that we must not let it pass away. Equal justice under law has not only been an ideal but it has been actually achieved in Amer- ica to a greater extent than by any other people. Since our Constitution was adopted, we have had more peace, more prosperity, less hatred, and more mutual good will toward each other than history has recorded during any other 150 years in man's long story. 'tPeace on earth, good will toward man has come closer to realization in America than in any other country. It has been said that the 'fmost sublime thing in the universe, except its creator, is that of a great and free people governing itself by a law higher than its own desire. ,Such is the Con- stitution of the United States. It is the higher law. It is above the desires of racial groups, of religions, economic, or political groups, of majorities however great, of presidents however popular, of soldiers however strong. It is a law to govern rulers and people alike. It is a law to place limitations upon the exercise of power by any person or group against any other person or group. Render unto Caesar the things that are Cae- sar's and unto Caesar the things that are God's also. Such is the gospel of the Reds, the Brown Shirts, and the Black Shirts. They are much alike and equally bad. Under the banner of a fake liberalism and a spurious security they are driving mankind back into the tyranny and poverty of the Dark Ages. If you are a Catholic, think of the plight of the German Jew. If you are a Jew, think of the plight of the Austrian Roman Catholic or the Russian Greek Catholic. If you are a protestant, think of the plight of the Masons in Italy and Germany. If you are a layman, think of the plight of the priests in Spain. If you are a farmer, thing of the Russian Kulaks. If you are a member of organized labor, think of the working men abroad. If you are a prop- erty owner, think of the confiscated investments in Mexico. If you are a scientist, an educator, or a man of letters, think of Einstein, Freud, and Thomas Mann. If you are any of these and an American besides, think of all these helpless victims of man's inhumanity to man and thank God that you are an American living under our Bill of Rights and Constitution, in America.-P. Johnson. 23
