TO OU RSELVES May class-It is a class of which I am proud to be a member. We have striven to prepare ourselves for the duties that await us. Bday we have faith in ourselves as we go forward to face life. May we remain true to our ideals. Here's to our future. May it be as bright as we desire. TO OUR NATION To the greatest nation anywhere on earth, we are mighty proud of you, of your pure and democratic principles, and your offer of many opportunities. To us, you are a beautiful land of love and unity. We treasure our fortune of being one of your citizens. In future years may we contribute something to your continuing greatness, be it large or small. TRUTH Let us admit it fairly as high school Seniors should VVe've had no end of lessons, and they have done us no end of good. We entered as timid Freshmen, we leave as graduates bold And we find it hard to realize the knowledge our young heads hold. We've had our foolish notions knocked higher than Franklin's kiteg Our minds have been made over, and we know it served us right. VVe've spent four years in labor hard to prove the fact once more That life is quite confused, and two and two are seldom four. We're crammed to the brain with learning, and now we must turn it to use, And if one of us is a failure, he hasn't a single excuse. The more we work and the less we talk the better results we shall get, For we've had four years of trainingg it may make us successes yet. Let us admit it fairly as high school Seniors should We're proud of Tigard High Schoolg its done us a lot of good. 21

Durham, Metzger, Tualatin, and Tigard grade schools par- ticipated in the program, their numbers also based on the dem- ocratic way of life. Twelve freshmen girls worked out the customary May-pole dance. After the program Queen Bet- ty, the royal court, and their mothers were honored at a ban- quet. The afternoon baseball game with Newberg was can- celled. The court was honored again in the evening at the Queen's Ball.

Following the program which included two plays, He Couldn't Say No and Dodging the Cops, given by members of the auditorium class, and several musical numbers, there were con- cessions for every member of the family. The telegram booth which is sponsored annually by the Com- mercial club won the booth dec- oration prize and the junior class fishpond booth won second prize for decoration. There was also dancing to the music of a nickle- odian. One highlight of the evening was the big drawing for the many prizes donated by business houses in and around Tigard. A net profit of S172 was re- ported by Doris Hunziker, stu- dent chairman. EXCHANGE ASSEMBLIES Through the efforts of several Tigard students the exchange of assembly programs was further promoted this year.

Before the diplomas are awarded, a short program will include sev- eral student orations and musical numbers. Numbering sixty-eight, this class entered high school in 1938, and has met all the trials and triumphs experienced by other classes. They had their skating parties, junior Prom, Senior Dance, senior plays, and now graduation, which climaxes these four years of class activities and hard work. In Ourselves the Future Lies, the class motto, can never be truer than it is today, when one's place in the world depends so much on just himself alone. Baccalaureate will be Sunday evening, May 25, and the senior breakfast will be May 28. The class is headed by Bill McLaughlin, president, Margar- et Buswell, vice-president, Glen- ore Spousta, secretary, Hazel Gaither, treasurer, and Don Rickert, sergeant-at-arms. CATHERINE ENGKRAF D. A. R. GIRL From a field of four candi- dates, Catherine Engkraf, Clara Hedlind, Betty Singletary, and Margaret Buswell, Catherine was chosen to represent Tigard in the D. A. R. contest.

The Daughters of the Amer- ican Revolution sponsor this con- test annually and from the girls representing Oregon high schools, one is chosen as Oregon's dele- gate to the national convention. This year Barbara Guderian, from Pendleton high school, won the honor.
