-1- THIRTEENTH AN NUAL HI-SPOTS SPORTS REVIEW The 1939-1940 season of sports passed into history with the Emerald Tigers ending up fifth in Tualatin-Yamhill Valley con- ference football standings and a close second in basketball. The Tigard eleven won a 12 to 0 victory from St. Mary's and a 6 to 0 triumph over Forest Grove in league play while los- ing decisions to Newberg, Sher- wood, Hillsboro, and Beaverton. The highlight of the season came when the Emeralds scored seven points in the Thanksgiv- ing day classic against the championship Beaverton eleven. to be the first TYV league team to cross the Beaver goal since November 11, 1937. The Tigard basketball squad had a lot of tough luck but were still able to finish in second place behind Forest Grove. The Tigers defeated Forest Grove on our floor and were just nosed out in an overtime in one of the most thrilling games of the season at Forest Grove. The Green and White swamp- ed Silverton in the opening round of the district tourney but were eliminated from the state tournament by the strong Tilla- mook five. As a result of being nosed out by one point in an overtime game bv Central Point the Ti- gers took second instead of first place in the Albany College In- vitational Tournament. With six returning lettermen, the 1940 baseball nine had a fair season. Golf continued to hold sway as a minor sport. VARS-T Under the leadership of Presi- dent Iohn O'Halloran the Vars- T, composed of Tigard letter- men, completed another success- ful year. Highlights of the year were the annual smoker, two mixers held after the Sherwood and the Hillsboro basketball games, and the Washington county grade school opener. Beaverton's quin- tet was the outstanding team among the ten grade school squads entered. The year was topped off in grand style with a weekend trip to the coast. BAND This year, in its second year of organization, the band was under the able direction of Mr. Raymond Carl. Mr. Carl, while teaching at Sherwood high for the past three years, organized the Sherwood high school hand which is considered one of the best in the county. The band playing at football and basketball games, at pep as- semblies and on many other oc- casions, was well supported by the students because of the great spirit and improvement shown. The band was led by four twirling drum majorettes, Betty Singeltary, Catherine Engkraf, Barbara Bunn, and Viola Mc- Connell, who were arrayed in brilliant green silk uniforms. ANNUAL SALE After unanimously voting to sponsor the 1940 edition of the Ti-U Tiger, the senior class de- cided to also carry on the sales campaign. Three contests were held to promote more interest in the sale. The boys and girls were to compete to see which could sell the most annuals. The girls lost and gave a party to the boys as a reward for their superior salesmanship. Ulric Dorais was the high salesman with 12 sales. Virginia Gaddis sold the first five annuals. Ac- cording to the contest, each re- ceived a free yearbook. D. A. R. CONTEST Maxine Miner was the senior girl chosen by the faculty and the senior class to represent Tigard high in the Daughters of the American Revolution good citizenship contest this year. Lou Ibach, Doris Engstrom, and Maxine were the girls ranked highest by their class- mates. From these three, Max- ine was chosen by the faculty. The candidates were chosen for dependability, service, lead- ership, and patriotism. jean Lee, of Woodburn, the winner in the state contest, rep- resented Oregon in the good citizenship pilgrimage to Wash- ington, D. C. 24 CARNIVAL The 13th annual carnival held November 22, was the most successful ever held at Tigard high school, as it resulted in a net profit of S207.95. The evening began with an hour variety program sponsored by the music and dramatic de- partments followed by the open- ing of the various concessions. Fortune telling, guessing games, movies, nail-driving, a fish pond, a freak show, dart games, dancing, and archery were some of the attractions. The carnival theme was cent- ered around Thanksgiving with a live turkey as the main door prize. Drawings were held for other prizes donated by the local merchants. The dollar prize of- fered bv the student body to the class displaying the most unique booths was won by the freshmen with the sophomores taking second prize of 50 cents. INTERCLASS GAMES With a team composed of varsity players, the senior class again cupped the inter-class basketball tournament this year. After taking a rough and tumble contest from the junior aggregation in the opening round by a 32 to 16 count, the seniors downed the scrappy freshman squad 34 to 19 in the finals. The freshmen club, loaded with plenty of future varsity material, put up a game and exciting battle but weren't quite good enough for the ex- perienced seniors. The frosh reached the final round after eliminating the sophomores 21 to 12. CHRISTMAS PLAY The Starflower was the name of the annual Christmas drama presented by the com- bined music classes and the au- ditorium class.
