DEPARTURE just a small first grader, Then so on through the years And now a senior graduating Into a world of fears. We're ready to do our duty As a citizen of today, To pay respects to our country And help it in every way. We're always to honor the old Green and White And bear the hardships of life, Keep within us peace of mind Though the world is filled with strife. To obey the laws with head held high Proud to be living here In a splendid nation that's filled with peace And our loved ones fond and dear. We say goodbye to our high school As we take our place in the world, Saluting our way through our life's, struggles As to our flag unfurled. -DONALD MEYER. HOPE The hope of anxious seniors Is that each will find his place, Serving his flag and his country VVhen called upon with grace. VVhen we go out into the world WVe take our place in the stand, Though to and fro we're hurled, We can rest assured we're planned. VVhen we march up to that honored place The object of speeches and praise We'll be the proudest of our race Having finished with every phase. ln this land of the brave and the free There are many who do ll0t seem to care But instead of despairing, let's keep on hoping And play life's game on the square. -DONALD M EYER 19 1

XIII SENIOR CONFERENCE The class of 1940 met with the seniors of nine other schools at the VVashington County Senior Day held at Hillsboro union high school, February 26. During the morning the group was entertained by musical numbers by Hillsboro and Heav- erton students and the singing of their school song by the Ti- gard senior class, followed by addresses by Ned Ross, Hills- boro Student Body President, Rex Putman, State Superinten- dent of Public Instruction, and V. Z. Caldwell of the Oregon College of Education. After lunch a dance was held in the gymnasium. ln the afternoon the students were divided into different groups according to whether they planned to attend the Uni- versity of Oregon, Oregon State College, the Colleges of Educa- tiow, or did not intend to go to college. JUNIOR PROM A Night in Hawaii, was the theme of the annual junior prom held Saturday night, March 30. Miss Dorothy Risch, a 'Tigard graduate who spent two years in the Hawaiian Islands, danced the hula. The theme was also carried out with colorful decora- tions. liill Fisher and his ten piece orchestra prtzvided the music. Jeanie Moe, elected by her junior classmates, reigned as queen of the dance. This year the identity of the queen was not kept a secret until the night of the prom as in previous years. The proceeds from the dance were used to finance the junior page in the Ti-l' Tiger and the junior-senior picnic. MAY FETE The Court of Happiness, was the theme of the l9-I0 May Fete. The day was ruled by Queen Dorothy Dooley, w ho was crowned in the morning cere- monies by Prime Minister Mar- vin Hunt. The maids and at- tendants who made up the queen's court were: Betty Craig and VVillis Nyberg, seniorsg Carol Rider and David Thomas, juniors, Mary Mack and Bob Bissett, sophomoresg and Bar- bara Hawley and Donner Fear- ing, freshmen.

Leslie, chairman of the school board. Baccalaureate was held on the 19th of May. 21 STUDENT BODY FREED OF DEBT FOR FIRST TIME Une of the things that the class of 1940 will long be proud of is that during their senior year the Associated Students of Tigard llnion High School emerged from debt for the first time since the founding of the school in 1926. Treasurer I'lric Dorais first reported a surplus during the month of December and the As- sociated Students managed to stay well out of the red during the rest of the year. Some of the factors which helped to annihilate the debt were a very successful carnival, good attendance at games, and the greater amount of revenue derived from the sale of student body tickets. The new type of student bodv ticket provided for in the Con- stitution adopted in May 1939, was sold for 332.50 which in- cluded student body privileges, subscription to the Hi Spots, school newspaper, and free ad- mission to all home athletic con- tests. If desired, student body privileges alone could be pur- chased or student body privi- leges with either the Hi Spots subscription or athletic ticket. Formerly student body mem- bershi and subscription to the school per were sold for 51.00 with no athletic ticket available. PEP CLUB The Pep Club was organized this year at Tigard, with Mr. Carl as adviser. The purpose of the club is to unify school spirit. The club sponsored an inter- class attendance contest for the last three league basketball games. A plaque was awarded the winning junior class.
