G'Bye Now SHUMWAY TO HEAD STUDENT GOVERNMENT At the student body elections, April 15, john Shumway, junior and athletic manager of the stu- dent body this year, was chosen president of the associated stu- dents for 1942-43. John is a two-year letterman in football, a member of the Hi-Y club and air-raid squad. Jim O'Halloran and Don Fearing were also can- didates for president. Harley Hanna was elected vice-presidentg Helen O'Hallor- an, secretaryg Barbara Hawley, treasure-rg Ralph johnson, ath- letic managerg Jay Stalcup, Hi- Spots editorg and Ruth Davis, activities manager. All nominations were made by petitions and candidates made campaign speeches before the balloting. 26 SPORTS REVIEW The Tigard football squad, in- cluding nine returning lettermen, and under their new coach, jack Connors, fought hard for fourth place in the T. Y. V. League standings. George Otte, co-captain with Russell Edmonds and John Hagg, provided one of the sea- son's biggest thrills when he dashed 87 yards through the jefferson line for a touchdown. With three returning letter- men, the varsity basketball team displayed much power on de- fense. In the League Opener at Newberg the green and white hoopers defeated Forest Grove 14-S, and in the semi-finals took a 15-9 beating from the Hills- boro five. Beaverton won the opener trophy. The Tigers finished one game out of second place in the league standings by a 27-26 loss to Newberg in the final and de- cisive league game. At the District Nine Tourna- ment, Tigard was eliminated the fourth night by Beaverton. In the last seven seconds of play a field goal from thirty-five feet out gave the Beavers a heart- breaking 24-23 victory over the Tiger quintet. Bill McLaughlin was elected honorary captain by his team- mates. A large group of lettermen turned out for the major spring sport, baseball. This year's success in athletics, is as always, not calculated merely in victo-ries and losses, but in good, clean sportsmanship that is taught every athlete. ARMISTICE DAY GAME INSPIRES PEP RALLY Not since 1938 have the stu- dents staged a pep rally the night before a big game. The annual Armistice Day clash with Sherwood, which the Tigers have lost the last two years, was the incentive for this year's huge bonfire built by the freshmen. The serpentine down through Tigard was followed by a stu- dent dance in the gymnasium. A victory dance, also, celebrat- ing the Tigers 32-0 victory over the Bulldogs, was held the next evening.
