Ie Ibi Epo e 14th SENIOR EDITION VOI.. XIV May 23, 1941 VOL. XIV CARNIVAL Tigard High School held its 1-I-th annual Carnival on the night of November 20, 1940. The evening's entertainment was cen- tered around the theme Fun. Before concessions were opened a program was provided with Marvin Brown acting as Master of Ceremonies. The combined music classes sang several choral selections and a jones Family play entitled, The Great Al- lowance Battle was given by the Auditorium class. Other novelty numbers were also pre- sented. Following the program, the booths were opened, and such games as nigger baby, bottle games, and penny throws were in play. A part of the gym- nasium was later set aside for dancing. As in former years, a contest was held between the various school organizations in booth decoration. The sophomore class placed first, winning the dollar prize offered by the student body with the seniors taking the sec- ond prize of fifty cents. Although expenses ran higher than in past years, a net profit of 33182.45 was placed in the student body treasury. MAGAZINE SALE The Tigard High students voted again this year to sponsor a magazine sale in connection with the Curtiss Publishing Company. The net proceeds of the sales, S-19.15, were used to increase the student body fund. Highest salesmanship honors went to Bob Williams, senior, who sold subscriptions amount- ing to 5l329.50. Bob Bissett sold the second highest number with subscriptions amounting to 3525. SENIOR HONOR ROLL During their entire four years of high school, fourteen students were able to maintain a 90 or better average. They compose the senior honor roll. Those at- taining a 94 or a one average were: Daniel Boese, Frances Gholson, Jean Knowlton, and Carol Rider. Those who had a 90 or a two plus average or above were: Clifford Alsen, Beu- lah Boyles, Vera Harrison, Glor- ia Hawley, Ruth Miller, Jean Moe, Jean Schaen, Jean Sturm, Dale Thompson and Anita Wal- lace. GRADUATION Fifty-one seniors will receive diplomas at Commencement ex- ercises to be held Friday evening, May 23. Principal T. R. Fowler will give them out to the gradu- ating seniors. Because there is an unusual amount of talent in this year's senior class, the program will consist entirely of class partici- pants, instead of an outside guest speaker. The tentative program will in- clude a piano solo by Patricia Cozey, a vocal solo, The Lordls Prayer, by Geraldine Browng an oration on youth and educa- tion by Jean Moe, a vocal solo by Clifford Alseng an oration Divided We Fall, by Gloria Hawley, and a sextette including Geraldine Brown, Beulah Boyles, Patricia Cozey, Frances Gholson, Gloria Hawley, and Anita Wal- lace will sing Speedwell. Do- lores O'Mara will accompany them. Senior class officers were: Louis Goldhammer, presidentg Bill Tully, vice-presidentg Shir- ley Dunsmore, secretary, Norris Olson, treasurer. Baccalaureate was held on Sunday, May 18. 21 STUDENT BODY ACTIVITIES The student body of Tigard High School attained another busy and favorable year, under Student Body President David Thomas. A great amount of in- terest was created in student body ticket sales due to the strong competition between the two upper classes. Both groups reached the 100 per cent mark, bringing the year's sales to a satisfactory high. A new idea was introduced and very favorably received this year, with the holding of student body parties. Evenings of games and dancing were spent with light refreshments served at the close, this being the only expense. Although several things were purchased for the school, the most notable were the new foot- ball and basketball suits. The football suits were of kelly green sateen with white stripes down the sides, and white numerals. The basketball outfits were of the same color and material with white shirts and green numerals, and green warmups. In spite of these two large withdrawals along with the other bills, the year ended with a substantial sum in the treasury. MOTHERS' AND DADS' CLUB The Mothers' and Dads' Club continued another year of pro- gress, under the leadership of Mrs. Vern Calway, president. The club sponsored two major activities. A card party was held at the high school earlier in the year, and in the spring, a spaghetti dinner was served. A varied program was presented after the dinner. The proceeds furnished two lace tablecloths for use by school organizations, and a cover for the piano.

2 FOURTEENTH ANNUAL H1-SPoTs MAY FETE Geraldine Brown was crowned Queen Geraldine, the first, by Prime Minister Walter Froman at the annual May Day festival on May 9. The Queen's prin- cesses and attendants from the four classes were: freshmen, Pa- tricia Conklin and Dean Hanna, sophomores, Betty Lou Beroud and Jim O'Halloran, juniors, Clara Hedlind and George Otteg and seniors, Maxine Davis and Joe Boatwright. The theme of this year's fete was The Rainbow of the Years, depicting scenes of normal life development. The surrounding grade schools, Durham, Metzger, Garden Home and Tigard, inter- preted the theme with clever songs and dances. After the banquet for the Queen and her court and their mothers, a baseball game was played between Tigard and Sherwood. To complete the day's festivi- ties, a Queen's Ball, honoring Queen Geraldine, was held in the evening. JUNIOR PROM Glittering stars, a lovely moon, and trailing ivy in a blue and silver garden setting were ef- fective in carrying out the theme Stardust for 194-1's annual Junior Prom, held Saturday eve- ning, February 15. Beulah Peterson, as queen, and Catherine Engkraf and Muriel Storey, as princesses, were chosen by their classmates to rule over the Prom. This is the first year that a royal court has reigned supreme, only the queen being selected in former years. Warren Speer and his ten- piece orchestra furnished music for the dancers. Solos and novel- ty numbers were featured with special emphasis on sweet music in keeping with the semi-formal theme. The proceeds from the dance went toward the Junior Class' page in the Ti-U Tiger. GIRLS' LEAGUE With the formal candlelight installation of the 194-0-41 offi- cers, the Girls' League officially began its year. Under Miss Naomi Taylor, dean of girls, and Gloria Hawley, president, the League enjoyed the most active year in the Tigard Girls' League history. The largest event of the entire year was the annual Girls' League Bazaar, held on Decem- ber 5. The bazaar, supervised by general chairman Jeanie Moe, was the most successful ever held, a net profit of 5108.81 he- ing put in the treasury. To fur- ther increase the funds, pep hats were sold during the football season, and candy and ice cream, at the basketball games. The Girls' League district conference met at Newberg high school on December 6, with over eighty girls attending from Ti- gard. The day was spent in listening to speakers, participat- ing in group discussions, and watching skits and a motion picture. In the afternoon, tea was served, ending the confer- ence. A new idea was introduced this year when the father and daughter party, a Valentine H Frolic, took place. The boys' fathers were invited as well as the girls'. Hearts, arrows, and red and white decorations car- ried out the Valentine Day motif. The Mothers' party was de- veloped on the Easter theme, with decorations of Easter eggs, bunnies, and flowers. After five years without a new coat of paint, the Girls' League room was completely redecorated with refinished walls, furniture, floors, and recovered couches, thus concluding a successful and busy year. PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUB Debates, formal and informal addresses, and orations were part of the year's work of the 1941 Public Speaking Club. To give 22 D. A. R. Jean Moe was chosen to rep- resent Tigard High School in the D. A. R. contest. Each high school in Oregon chose one senior girl and out of these, one was selected to make the good citizen- ship pilgrimage to Washington, D. C. The Senior class nominated Carol Rider, Gloria Hawley and Jean as the three candidates for the honor, and the faculty made the final choice. The selection was based on various qualities including leadership, dependabil- ity, service, patriotism, and scholarship. Anne Wendling from Grant High School in Portland was chosen as the girl to represent Oregon. H I-S POTS The Hi-Spots, Tigard High school paper, completed another successful year under Jean Knowlton, as editor. To raise money for their page in the Annual, the journalism class sponsored an amateur show. The stage was a barn setting of hay,'straw, bridles, harness and cardboard cows. Walter Scott acted as master of ceremonies. The high point of the show was the perform- ance of jimmy Whetmore, Port- land swing pianist. Other mu- sical and novelty numbers were also given. The show was a financial suc- cess with S16.95 net profit shown. the students speaking experience, several of the class members were sent to various places to speak on special occasions. Under President Bill Cole, the club sponsored two shows, a movie entitled, The Barefoot Boy, and a performance show- ing what marvels liquid air can produce. The proceeds of the two pro- grams financed the cIub's An- nual page.
