Seniors' Farewell We are going to leave school. It’s too bad, but we can’t stand this any longer. We heard the teachers say: “Their minds have just one dimension—thickness. It’s not fair. We knew lots of things but they never ask us the things we know. They look at us and say, “Do you know?” and then under their breaths, “No, you wouldn’t.” And they don’t give us a chance to think. Of course we never do know, but how can they be so sure we don’t. Tell us that. It is a funny thing how teachers always act differently when there is company. You know—their voices get so sort of soft and kind, not a bit what they are when we’re alone and nobody knows the answers. The superintendent often visits our school, and we all raise our hands for every question, but they never call on us. That is the day that we are taught by the lecture method. The older we grow, the more firmly we are convinced that everything in life depends upon one’s point of view. Our favorite poem is about folks hitching their wagon to a starfish and trying to get up high and be somebody. They may think we will not amount to anything but we won’t be discouraged. We have reached the end of four years of study and we can truthfully say we do know much which else we should not know. If we remember but half of it, we shall do nobly, indeed. We realize that our graduation from Tigard High School is not of vast importance, to the world at large, but we shall, however, enter the arena with heads high and start upon adventure brave and new, with hearts staunch and fearless. We hope we haven’t disappointed everyone too much. Goodbye, and than you, The Senior Class of 1943. Twenty-one

I Senior Saga From an army camp called Anderson Came Heath Alsen, Thomp's son. Also his pal Jones who was Wilde To leave camp and go for a ride. Leaving behind Marvel and Maggetti Who by the way, just LH{es spaggetti, They went to Hunt adventure in its Lehr— They went forth without a care. They caught a bus and rode through the Wood Where a fierce Wolfe once had stood. Arrived in town, they went to the canteen. Where beautiful girls they knew would be seen. Johnson, the doorman and Frazer the clown Led them in and marched them down To meet the Misses Shultz and Finley Who were dancing with Privates Hawley and Bailey. Hager, the waiter brought them a Bunn And coffee, and when they were done, Edmonds and Engstrom and Stalcup and Schwartz Came over and said that all sorts Of girls like Misses Danis and Brost and Bennett Would dance with them as Hanna was with Mognett. So they danced and danced all night thru With Misses Buell and Binkele in dresses of blue That Russell “like the leaves by the Mil, roy.” Then Rasmussen said “Do you have a Chil, son-ny boy? Or are you just good En-sor from dancing? While hundreds of light Kullowatz are wasting.” Then Schec {la said “Swift-ly call the Van, Dermarl . Say good-bye to the angels Becker and Clarl{. We must not Be roud, but bach must go.” So Becvar said Col gan and do not be low. Shum way you will return, but now be Hoff, man. One who Boggs down in one place is never worth anything.’ O’Halloran said “Ric!{, man do not be Mad, land don’t. Someday Philip will be a Miller or Smith As Prier to the war, and all men will be free, Not Fearing anything as wild birds by the sea.” So Jones and Alsen left the canteen And were next in the army camp to be seen.
