4 Sixteenth Annual Hi-Spots MOTHERS’ AND DADS' CLUB The Mothers’ anti Dads’ Club of Tigard high school completed its sixth successful year under the direction of Mrs. George Anderson, president. The activities of the club for this year included the sponsoring of a play by the Auditorium class and musical numbers by various students, and food sales at basketball games, to obtain money to assist the students in obtaining blackout curtains for the auditorium. Without these curtains the basketball games, annual dances and other night activities would not have been possible. Other officers of the club included Mrs. John O’Halloran, vice-president; Mrs. Edwin Thompson, secretary; and Mrs. Walter Froman, treasurer. VARS-T The Tigard Vars-T club held its first meeting in October and elected Howard Ibach President; Harley Hanna, Vice - President; Ralph May, Treasurer; Ralph Johnson, Student Council Representative, as their officers for the '43 year. Initiation was held for nine new members. The club was a success this year as far as finances are concerned. From the $35.38 made from three mixers the club paid for their page in the annual and held a farewell dance for Ralph Johnson, Don Fearing, and John Shumway, who were leaving for the service. AMENDMENT ADDED TO THE CONSTITUTION The new amendment to the constitution concerning the awarding of numerals has been amended to read as follows: Paragraph D, Section I, Article VIII: Numerals shall be awarded to those faithfully turning out for practice, but not winning letters, and any boy, who through no fault of his own, has been injured or become ill during the season, and in all probability would have met all requirements pertaining to a particular sport, so with the recommendation of the Student Council and the Coach, may be awarded a letter. MAGAZINE SALES For the fifth consecutive year the students of Tigard High undertook the sale of magazines in conjunction with the Curtiss Publishing Company. Of the total amount of $1,-037.75 brought in by the drive held from October to November sixth, $325.00 was the school’s share, which was put in a special fund to obtain blackout curtains for the auditorium. This will enable the school to carry on activities such as basketball games, dances, and shows in accordance with nation-wide blackout regulations. The winning team head by Bonnie Stoops, with Mrs. Juanita Thompson as adviser, brought in $180.50, while second place team, Lester McColm, brought in $142.00. Ted Warren was the individual selling $90 worth of magazines, the largest amount by any one person. BLACKOUT CURTAINS Combining the money earned by students in the magazine sale which was $325; the scrap drive, $100; $150 from the school board; with the $60 presented by the Mothers’ and Dads’ Club, blackout curtains were obtained this year for the high school auditorium. The curtains are of University crash material, rust in color, with natural lining and black inner lining. They match the curtains on the stage. REPRESENTATIVES FROM COLLEGE On Friday, May 7th, the seniors were given the opportunity to listen to representatives from four colleges, they were Dr. Rogers, from Multnomah College, Mr. Wolfe from Linfield, Mr. Carruth from Lewis Clark and Mrs. Stroll representing Reed College. After they had spoken to the student body as a whole, the seniors went to the group meeting of the colleges, they were interested in attending. In these discussion groups they would ask questions on college life anti studies. NATIONAL ASSEMBLY Tigard again signed to have National Assemblies this year. We were entertained by a group of musicians from Yugoslavia. They played an instrument which resembled a banjo. It was first played in Yugoslavia hundreds of years ago. The shepherds used to play them up in the mountains to entertain themselves. We were also entertained by Charles Collins, a blind man, who was on the radio for several years. He played the piano and sang several popular numbers. He was very well received by the students who forgot his handicap. His achievements gave inspiration to all who attended. Philip Lord, the mental wizard, showed some of the “brains” in school that they weren’t as smart as they thought they were. He could recite poetry, add numbers, and write upside down and backwards all at the same time. All the assemblies were good, and appreciated by all the students who attended them. WELL WHATCHA KNOW Friday, May 7, Tigard’s baseball team spread glory upon her Alma Mater by defeating none other than the Sherwood High nine. This announcement would not be great but for the fact that this is the first game won in four years, the last being won in 1940 against Banks. The one to be accredited with the major part of the glory is none other than Fred Larsen the first class hurler, who held the opposing team to two runs, an exceedingly brilliant and skillful feat. The score at the end of the game was nine to four in favor of Tigard. Good work fellows, keep it up. AUDITORIUM CLASS PLAY The auditorium class, under the direction of Mrs. Mullen, presented the first play of the year on the afternoon of March 25, Romance in a Boarding House.” The play, a three-act comedy, had a cast of eleven. They were: Bonnell Stoops, Jerry Ariss, Bill Hyde, Vlasta Becvar, Betty Foster, Muriel Volk, Jack Jensen, Bob Froman, Harriet Russell, „Carl Davis, and Emma Clark. Twenty-six

FRESHMEN This class entered high school with a spirit of enthusiasm and good will. Although everything seemed quite new to them it was not long before they became accustomed to the routine of their classes. For their activity they sponsored a party, April 17, exclusively for the members of that class. This class entered whole-heartedly in all student body activities and showed that they are capable of doing their part.

Mrs. Thompson and Mr. Bell SOPHOMORES Coming to the close of its second year in high school is the sophomore class. We find them now fully acquainted with the ways of a high school student. This class, 83 in number, is ambitious and willing to cooperate. To earn money for their page in the annual they sponsored a Masquerade Dance, which was considered, by all who attended, to be one of the most enjoyable evenings of school entertainment held this year.

Mr. SMITH AND MISS PARROTT JUNIORS To the Junior Class goes praise and congratulation! Because of their ambition and pep shown thus far in the school career they have gained prominence in many fields. In athletics we find that the largest percentage of our athletes this year were outstanding members of the junior class. They also proved themselves capable of overcoming war conditions and handicaps when they sponsored a very successful Prom. Patty Davis, a gracious queen, with her lovely princesses, Gwendolyn Steele and Audrey Bernard, reigned throughout the evening in a beautifully decorated setting for the theme “Moonlight Mood.” This class has much in store for itself as it goes on to its last and most enjoyable year of high school.
