Tigard High School - Tiger Yearbook (Tigard, OR)

Text from Pages 1 - 82 of the 1944 volume:

THI TIGER CLASS OF ’44 SEVENTEENTH EDITION PRESENTED BY THE STUDENTS OF TIGARD UNION HIGH SCHOOL TIGARD UNION HIGH SCHOOL Alma Mater... A memory that represents four of the greatest and most glorious years of our life. Four years that have sped by at an unprecedented pace, leaving us with sounder reason, a wider viewpoint and a general appreciation of knowledge. We, the graduating class of '44 salute your concrete walls and all the memorable events they have held within. Foreword... The Theme of the 1944 Yearbook is The Good Neighbor A NEIGHBORLY MESSAGE The message of the humble is spelled in work, for work is the message of all men. Humble as he may be, yet he dwells above mind and body, and the soul in him strives to live and work through all things. When he lays hold upon an activity that men call business, he will select an order of work that permits him to express himself fully. He will realize that every thought and act are a perpetual record. When he is convinced that it matters not what a man does so long as he does it as a man, he will comprehend that divinity is one though. its manifestations are many. As he makes and travels his broad highways he will now and then journey to the right and to the left. In doing he will find delight beyond measure; but let the humble man remember the paralyzing power of ill-used riches and the nullifying effect of idleness. Every man can help the world’s work more than he knows of. What we want is the single eye, that we may see what our work is, the humility to accept it, however lowly, the faith to do it and the perseverance to go on until death. Remember now and always that life is no dream, but a solemn reality based upon eternity and encompassed by eternity. Find out your task; stand to it; the night cometh when no man can work. This is the message of your neighbor. Dedication... Our 1944 Year Book is dedicated to Our Country, The Good Neighbor To All Nations. O Destined Land, unto thy citadel, What founding fates even now doth peace compel. That through the world thy name is sweet to tell! O throned Freedom, unto thee is brought Empire; nor falsehood nor blood-payment asked; Who never through deceit thy ends has sought. Nor toiling millions for ambitions tasked; Unlike the fools who build the throne On fraud, and wrong and woe; For man at last will take his own, Nor count the overthrow, For thou art founded in the eternal fact That every man doth greaten with the act Of freedom; and doth strengthen with the weight of duty; And God molds his fate, Who masters best himself best serves the State. Fraternity... We ask not how thy suffering came. Or if by sin, or if by shame, Or if by Fate's capricious rulings; To our large pity all's the same. Come close and lean against a heart Eaten by pain and stung by smart; It is enough if thou has suffered— Brother or sister then thou art. We will not speak of what we know, Rehearse the pang, nor count the throe, Nor ask what agony admitted Thee to the Brotherhood of Woe. But in your anguish-—darkened land Let us draw close, and clasp the hand; Our whispered password holds assuagement— The solemn, Yea, we understand! Table of Contents • ADMINISTRATION • CLASSES • ACTIVITIES • ORGANIZATIONS • ATHLETICS • FEATURES • ADVERTISEMENTS ADMINISTRATION CLASSES SCHOOL BOARD Our Philosophy... Today's world is full of painful things. The hopes for mankind seem doomed in this revival of ancient savagery. How can you avoid becoming discouraged and hopeless? The answer is not to be found in despair. Every parent who brings up a child in such a way that he becomes rational and kindly is achieving part of what must be done to make a happy world. A nation is made great, not by its fruitful acres, but by the men who cultivate them. It is our misfortune to live in a bad period, but it will end. And it will end the sooner if you as individuals keep hope alive. Remind yourself that the world is what we make it. And never allow your life to become purposeless is the message we would bring to you. A Message... It is a happy privilege to write you a message, congratulating you upon arrival at a worthy goal, which has seemed sometimes, long and difficult of attainment. The Class of 1944 is now ready to begin its duties. You must assume the obligations of an active citizenship and I urge that you do this with a willing heart and an earnest mind. Public life should be among the highest and noblest ambitions. The civic consciousness of the country must be developed and exercised. It is very necessary that each of you awake to your duty to your country, discover what your convictions are, and have the courage to uphold them. Our government carries the hopes of the human race; may you not falter in the fulfillment of your civic duties. I bid you farewell, but I rejoice in the future that lies before you. Your accomplishments in the future will merit your pride and mine. Sincerely, THOS. FOWLER.

This is a play in four acts, with three all too brief intermissions. Throughout the action there is music by the high school band with Lester McColm, Edward Otte, Edward Engkraf, Laura Thompson, Betty Parker, and Shirley Blakney as outstanding musicians. The play was written by the actors as they played their parts under the direction of Mr. Fowler, the principle and a band of capable assistants, the faculty. It is produced by the board of education with the cooperation of the taxpayers and is given by an all star cast. This play belongs to no particular classification, sometimes comedy, sometimes tragedy, sometimes a review. The scenes take place in the high school building, classrooms, auditorium, parked cars and the Freezer. ACT I FRESHMEN Shows the arrival of 90 Freshmen in the halls of learning, their curious mistakes furnish farcial moments. There is rapidly rising action and the Villian puts in his appearance. He is called Study and is of alarming size and proportions. At the close of the act, tragedy seems imminent—a mental crisis created by Study's brother villian, Examinations — but the Freshmen win. Somberness does not predominate in this act. As there are athletic activities and social activities. The following played leading parts: Lloyd Knudsen, president, Eddie Engkraf, vice-president; Pat Conklin, secretary; and Lavern Brandel, treasurer. Intermission ACT II SOPHOMORES Same cast in the same places. A touch of pathos is found in the absence of several of the cast who were disabled in their encounter with villian, Examination. Understudies were recruited from surrounding schools. There are pleasant divertisements in the shape of dances, plays, concerts, and parties. In this act the members of the cast seem to have achieved a charm, a feeling of security. Incipient love affairs are noticed, and the costumes are much more elaborate, as is also the make-up used. The action continues to rise till the end of the act; when again occurs the inevitable struggle and the crisis brought about by Examination. The curtain descends with a burst of wild applause. All agree that Lester McColm as president, Bob Trappe as vice-president, Gwen Steele as secretary, and Jack Jensen as treasurer were the leading players. Intermission ACT III JUNIORS The actors are so changed that each act seems like an entirely new play. The director allows the actors more freedom. Many improve their performance. Some come to grief. There are many delightful interludes, the most striking being the Junior Prom with Queen Pat Davis and attendants being the stars. Other unexpected things are happening. Many who came on in the first act have wearied of the struggle have left the cast in search of positions offering speedy renumerations and less brain fag. The stars of this cast are President, George Morgan; Vice-president, Ward Nedry; Secretary, Bonnell Stoops; and Treasurer, Elmer Blocher. Intermission ACT IV SENIORS The actors are so matured and so at ease that the act looks rose-colored. The members of the cast actually seem fond of the arch villian, Study. The action is more complicated. There are delightful interpolutions. (Senior play, party, skipday.) The actors who showed promise of being stars now shine brightly. Queen—Mary Lexa. Able support was given by Jack Jensen, President; John Adams, Vice-president; Betty Koopmans, Secretary; and Eddie Engkraf, Treasurer. The act is near its close. The Final Examination raises his sinister head. To a man—and a woman—the Seniors emerge victorious. The play ends in a burst of glory, with flowers, music and congratulations —in short, graduation exercises; and we have the well known and ever popular, happy ending. ■ ■ Good Neighbors Good Neighbors Home Gossip John Adams Jerry Ariss Garden Home Tigard “It ain’t printable” “Are those hot!” Margery Burt Bob Balk Larry Berg in Irving Becker ’harles Becker Audrey Bernard Shirley Blakney I a Verne Brandel Becky Bunn Hope.

(With Apologies to Gray) The school bell chimes for this our parting day; The graduates wind slowly up the aisle, And sit upon the stage in glad array To gain the tribute of a loving smile. Now fades the glittering pageant on the sight And all the air anticipation holds, To hear our swan song on this happy night, Ere distant wandering our way enfolds. For us no more the midnight oil shall burn, Or Senior hearts be bowed by care; Will dread no more each Monday morn's return, Or strain of dread examinations share. Ambition smiled upon our fruitful toil, Our youthful joys, our efforts to surpass, And Grandeur heard—and did forbear to smile— The short and simple annals of our class. Perhaps among our little group there may Be hearts illuminated with celestial fire, Hands that the rod of government may sway, Or voices that will souls of men inspire. We'll go our way with confidence serene, The dark, unfathomed trials of life to bear And none of us intend to blush unseen Or waste our sweetness on the desert air. Like knights of old we pledge with dauntless breast The tyrant of injustice to withstand. Till wrongs are righted, we shall never rest, But strive till peace and plenty fill the land. No further seek our merits to disclose, Or tell our deeds of worth by others seen. Our hearts, through summer suns or winter snows, Shall keep their memory forever green. Farewell... We're parting to-night from the friends of our youth, We part from the school our valor inspired. It quickened our zeal and our love for truth, And always our faint heart to fervor it fired. We shall ever admire, as this moment we do, All the bounteous wisdom and worth of her name; Her children will stay to her memory true While deeds of devotion add light to her fame. When worries and cares that the future may hold Bring furrows of age and regret to our brow, We'll come back in fancy to dear days of old And smile at our dreaming as happy as now. While the shadows of sorrow shall all fade away In the light of our yesterday's glow, Down memory's lane in the cool twilight gray Turn back to the school days of long, long ago. Seventeenth Senior Edition The HI-SPOTS Vol. XVII STUDENT COURT For the purpose of teaching self-government and of attaining more satisfactory student conduct, a plan for a student court was voted on by the Junior and the Senior classes and sixteen officers or monitors were elected. The officers were presented with tickets, which were to be filled out with the designated information when citing a student for any offense. Each case will first be presented to the preliminary court, composed of Lester McColm, the Judge, and Mr. Fowler, the principal, in the case of a boy; or Grace Carsh, Girls’ League president, and Mrs. Thompson, Dean of Girls, in the case of a girl. They are to decide whether or not the case is serious enough to be submitted to the Student Court. A “point system” fine for infringement of rules, was adopted by Tigard High. The point system works on a basis of giving to the student a specified number of points for violating certain rules laid down by the court and its advisors. Most of these violations draw a 100-point fine, and if a student should receive 100-points, he must appear before the court and receive additional punishment by way of school clean up work. At the fifth appearance before the Court he is expelled from school and allowed to return only by bringing a parent to the school. When expelled the third time, the student may not return under any circumstances. The rules adopted have a point value of from 50 to 500 for a single violation. MAY 26, 1944 JUNIOR PROM As shadows fell across rustic gardens and a wishing well, Queen Helen Jane Spousta I was introduced as queen of the 1944 Junior Prom. Queen Helen Jane wore a beautiful aqua gown while her Princesses Muriel Volk and Barbara Frison were dressed in white. The queen was presented with a Juliet cap, and the princesses were given evening handkerchiefs. The theme of the prom was “When Day Is Done.” Wes Lang and his ten-piece orchestra presented a varied program of music and song for entertainment. A total profit of about $70 was reported. SENIOR BOYS Many of the senior boys picked the branch of the service which they were going to serve in and were waiting until graduation or their eighteenth birthdays to go into the armed forces. Those going into the service are: Army Air Corps— Tom Riverman Ralph May George Spencer Scott Olson Norman Webb Lester McColm Navy Air Corps— Willis Coffey Jack Jensen Navy— Edward Otte Bill Hyde HI-SPOTS FOR SERVICEMEN Through the efforts of the Journalism class and stu-dens of Tigard, extra copies of the school paper were made available for all the servicemen who attended Tigard High. Students submitted dimes so that it was possible to send the paper. Vol. XVII MARY LEXA MAY FETE QUEEN Mary Lexa of Tigard was crowned Queen Mary I by Prime Minister Bob Balk at the fifteenth annual May Fete held May 5, 1944 at Tigard High. The Queen’s court consisted of Princess Aldine McNott and Escort Bob Trappe, seniors: Janet Morgan and Escort Vernon Richards, Juniors; Elenor Flett and Escort Earl McCoy, Sophomores; and Colene Clemens and Escort Jack Van Bergen, Freshmen. In the morning after the coronation, was the Maypole dance, numbers from the band and chorus and individual programs from Metzger, Garden Home, Durham, St. Anthony and Maplewood grade schools with Pat Davis acting as mistress of ceremonies. The Queens luncheon was held after the program and was followed by a ball game with Newberg at 2 p. m. In the evening the Seniors sponsored the Queen’s Bail with Monty Brook’s orchestra. The 1943 May Fete was cancelled because of the war conditions but because of many requests it was continued this year although it was streamlined according to other years. CAPS AND GOWNS As in the past year, war conditions and the expectancy of so many senior boys to go into the Service resulted in the decision of the class to wear caps and gowns at the graduation exercises, May 26. This is the second time in seven years that caps and gowns have been accepted by a graduating class. 2 Skm ntkk.ntii Anm al Hi-Spots COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES For the sixteenth consecutive time, Tigard High School won first place in the Oregon State Radio Shorthand contest. Belle Ann Hedlind won first place in the individual competition for the first semester.

The Commercial Club, composed of students with Commercial letters, and two elected from each class in shorthand and typing and radio shorthand, elected their officers for this year. The president is Belle Ann Hedlind; secretary, Dorothy Dingley; treasurer, Jane Jensen; and vice-president, Betty Koopmans. The Commercial and the Pep Club presented a talent show called “Variety Plus,” April 6 to raise money for their page in the annual.

MAGAZINE SALES For the sixth consecutive year the students of Tigard High undertook the sale of magazines in conjunction with the Curtiss Publishing Company. Tigard High went “over the top” when the students sold better than $1,250 in magazine subscriptions. The purchase of a Serviceman’s plaque, which will cost around $200 after the engraving is done, was the goal of the school this year. This plaque will display the names of all the boys in the services who have attended Tigard High. The Freshmen won the class award with a total of $450, the Sophomore class behind with $413.50, the Seniors finished third with $174.00, and the Juniors were last with $154.50. Individual winner was Mana Amburn, who sold $83.00 worth of subscriptions. Ted Warren, a close second, sold subscriptions totaling $75.00. VICTORY DANCE Sharing the votes determined by the better than $4,000 bond and stamp sale which was sponsored by the Journalism class, Laura Thompson, a Senior, was crowned Tigard’s Victory Queen. Her chosen princesses were Virginia Balk, Roberta Smith, Ivy Sutherland, and Jennie Steele. All reigned at the Victory Ball held in the Tigard High School gymnasium on Armistice Day, November 11. The Victory Dance and Coronation ceremony had as its theme the “Stage Door Canteen.” A representative from each branch of the service took part in the program. Howard Depuy and his eight - piece orchestra supplied the music. The dance was in honor of the girls who received the most votes by virtue of a bond and stamp selling contest. MOTHERS AND DADS CLUB The Mothers’ and Dads’ Club of Tigard High School completed its seventh successful year under the direction of Mrs. E. W. Conklin, president. Through cooperation on their behalf and the Tigard High School Board and the Girls League, the girls are to have a new league room and the teachers a rest room. The Mothers and Dads agreed to furnish the teachers room if the Board would see to the remodeling. This met with the Board’s approval. The purchase of a school nickelodeon was sponsored by the Mothers and Dads also. This was greatly appreciated by the students, and enabled the school to carry on more activities. In recent years, the Club has obtained blackout curtains for the school gymnasium and uniforms for the band members, not to mention the little tasks they have accomplished. STUDENT BODY ELECTIONS Student body elections were held on Wednesday, April 19. Bill Amburn was elected president for the year 1944-45. Other candidates for that office were Vernon Richards and Don Smith. Jean Stephenson was elected to the office of secretary; Phyllis Bader, treasurer; Carl Davis, activities manager; Sam Philip, vice-president; Gary Harvey, athletics manager; and Jim Ream, as Hi-Spots editor.

In a meeting held October 26, Mrs. Thompson, Dean of Girls, officially installed the new officers for 1943-44. The officers are: Grace Carsh, president; Betty Parker, vice-president; Laura Thompson, secretary; Belle Ann Hedlind, treasurer; Jennie Steele, sergeant-at-arms; Mary Jeff ryes, reporter; and Bonnell Stoops, song leader. Jeans and plaid shirts with an occasional costume was the popular dress at the annual “Sadie Hawkins Party” held November 5, 1943. A box of chocolates was awarded to Bill Gilham dressed in jeans, plaid shirt and a hillbilly hat along with Drusilla Rogers as the typical Mammy Yokum. Ann Miller dressed as an old man of the Smokey Mountains region, came with Aina Mad-land appearing as a gal of the “Gay Nineties,” also received a box of chocolates. After the prizes were awarded, an original Lil’ Abner skit was put on for the enjoyment of the crowd. One of the biggest events of the year was the Girls League Bazaar presented December 10 which took the place of the annual Carnival. Many colorful booths including telegraph, stuffed animals, refreshments and others were on one side of the gym while the other half was roped off for those who wished to dance. Some very nice gifts were presented at a drawing later in the evening. Numerous contributions that surrounding business men and establishments had donated were auctioned off by auctioneer, Bill Hyde. Eight girls represented Tigard High School at the 31st Older Girls Conference held at Salem, Oregon on the week-end of February 12. The girls were chaperoned. by Mrs. Thompson and Miss Parrott. The week-end stay included a tour of the State Capitol and Willamette University. Among all the other things the Girls League did this past year, Grace Carsh and her cabinet found time to make many servicemen’s boxes for the boys leaving from the Beaverton draft board. On April 5, the annual Mothers’ Tea was held. This year each girl kept her own mother instead of drawing someone else’s. The purpose of the tea is to get the mothers, teachers and girls better acquainted. The Girls League Club sponsored “The Post-Exam Frolic” which was held January 26 to mark the end of the first semester. The party was open only to members of Tigard High. A net profit of approximately $230 was realized from the Bazaar. A Dad’s and Daughter’s dinner was held March 11 by the Girls League. During the evening a “Truth or Consequence” was held with the Fathers with Pat Conklin as announcer. Many fathers expressed the desire to get together again soon because a good time was had by all. ELECTIONS A meeting was held March 29, at which the Girls League Cabinet presented the names of girls they had nominated for 1944-45 officers. Two more girls were nominated from the floor for each office and the names of all the nominees and the office they were running for were posted on the bulletin board. Elections were held at a special meeting April 4. The following girls were elected: President, Janet Morgan; Vice - President, Katherine Sturgis; Secretary, Jean Stephenson; Treasurer, Rose Stenek; Sergeant - at - arms, Jean Carsh; Reporter, Burt-ine Waller; and Song Leader, Barbara Olson. 4 Skvkxtkknth Anxi al Hi-Spots D. A. R. GIRL Patricia Conklin of Metzger was chosen as Tigard High School’s representative for the Oregon D. A. R. award for 1943-44. Gwen Steele, Aldine Mc-Nott and Pat Conklin were nominated by the senior class, there being a difference of only one in the votes each received. A tie resulted in the faculty election and selection was determined by drawing one name from “the hat.” Representatives are chosen for their dependability, service, leadership, patriotism and scholarship. JOURNALISM CLASS PRESENTS SHOW Combining artistry, personality, and joyful exuberance in their presentation of novelty songs, Dave and James Yeary, Merchant Marines now and entertainers formerly, responded to eight encores in response to their enthusiastic reception by Tigard students in a recent program sponsored by the Journalism class. Sharing the spotlight was the Auditorium class of “Billy’s First Date,” starring Carl Davis as Billy. Eileen Elsen opened the program with a vocal solo, “When They Ask About You.” The audience scarcely stopped laughing as the Yearys whistled, yodeled, and clowned their way through such songs as “Let Us Sing Like the Birdies Sing” and “Rufus, Rastus Johnson Brown.” These young men have appeared with Major Bowes units, with Kay Kyser, and have been popular entertainers since childhood. “One of the best programs we have ever had here,” was the expression of many. Supporting Carl Davis in the play were Jacklyn Denman, Gwen Steele, Katherine Sturgis, Eileen Elsen, Goldie Moore, and Phyllis Ibach. BADMINTON Badminton was one of the most popular extra-curricular activities of the school the past year. An average of 24 students met two evenings a week on the gym’s three excellent courts. Starting with a nucleus of 12 students with previous experience, the number grew to almost 50 students, who became at least familiar with the game. A majority of entrants in the State Badminton Association and the Portland City Park tournaments were from Tigard and 14 trophies in all were won by the school club members. Bill Amburn is state boys’ singles champion and he and George Morgan hold the boys’ doubles title. Other club members to place in tournaments this year are: Betty Parker, Aldine Me-Nott, Tom Riverman, Bill Hyde, Mana Amburn and Jean Carsh. BOND PREMIER Over $5,000 in war bonds and stamps were realized at the Fourth War Loan Rally held at the Joy Theatre January 8. Only holders of a ticket secured through the purchase of an $18.75 bond were admitted. The entertainment was provided by the Tigard High Band and twirlers and the premiere of “Government Girl,” starring Olivia De Haviland and Sonny Tufts. Previous to the motion picture an auction was held, with George Leslie acting as auctioneer. A ham, donated by Mr. Hambeck, was auctioned off for a $1,500 bond, the largest single amount purchased. TIGARD VARS-T The lettermen of Tigard Hi went in for styles this year. This group sent in an order for school “tee-shirts.” On the front of these shirts “Tigard Vars-T” with a tiger is painted. SOCK DANCE June Farris and Carl Davis were the winners of the sock contest held at the intermission of the Freshmen Sock Dance, April 6th. The gym was decorated with socks hung on lines across the gym ceiling and a washtub full of socks presided over by a dummy adorned the center of the floor. Music was supplied by the “juke box” for the estimated 250 dancers. Hot dogs and cokes were served for refreshments. Largely responsible for the- success of the dance were Sally Smith, Caroline Olemen, Lucille Carpenter, and Irene Shonk who headed the committees. SPRING CONCERT The music classes of Tigard High, under the direction of Mr. Bell, presented their annual Spring Concert on April 28, at 8:00 o’clock, in the high school auditorium, at which time the new risers were initiated. In addition to several numbers by the band and chorus, there were twirlers, a trumpet trio, clarinet trio, and tow vocal trios. During intermission a 65-piece band from Tigard grade school played. The purpose of the risers is to improve the volume of the music and also to enable the audience to se emore clearly each member of the band and chorus. The material for these risers was purchased with part of the profit from the last concert, and constructed in non-school hours by the band members. Bill Smith: Darling! there is something that has been trembling on my lips for days. Margie J.: Well, why lon’t you shave the ridiculous little thing off, then.

On behalf of the Athletic Teams of 1943-44, we extend our heartfelt thanks for the athletic privileges you have made possible for us to enjoy. If in years to come, we prove to be citizens worthy of our great country, remember us as only a few of the many in whose early years you laid a foundation of aspiration, good sportsmanship and high ideals. You have borne patiently our youthful follies and encouraged whatever latent ability you may have discerned in us. To Mr. Smith (often called Hal), our football and basketball coach, we appreciate your expert and kind guidance, undaunted by victory or failure. To Mr. Fowler, our baseball coach, you always practiced what you preached, that fair play and good sportsmanship pays huge dividends. Having shared successes, failures and mutual companionship for so long, it is hard to say goodbye. Football... The first turnout showed a possibility of a good season and Coach Hal Smith pul the thirty-two boys that turned out, through strenuous pre-season training. The Coach quotes, I figure on having a darn good team.'' The season went as follows: Oct. 8—Hillsboro's weight and power proved too much for our insufficient reserve line. The final score was 27 to 6. Oct. 15—Tigard put up a hard fight against Newberg, but their power plays overcame us 40 to 7. Oct. 22—The Tigard Varsity downed McMinnville at the first home game with an outstanding score of 20 to 0. Oct. 29—West Linn was stopped by the Tigard line but by some lucky, mud-soaked passes won victory over us with the score of 18 to 0. Nov. 11—The heavier Tigard squad trampled a 19 to 0 victory over Sherwood on the annual Armistice Day football game. Nov. 19—The Forest Grove Vikings rolled up a 19 to 0 score on us at the game piayed here. Power plays and reverses made their most gain. Nov. 25—The Beavers were held scoreless for three quarters but finally in the last quarter rolled up a score on us, which was 12 to 0. This years season was not too successful but the boys played with an undefeated spirit that was not surpassed by any school. Such ability in clean sportsmanship shall live forever to the fame of Tigard High. FRONT HOW (left to right)—C. Johnson, B. Coffey. J. O'Hallorati. K. McCoy, G. Harvey. C. Davis. T. Schendel, R.

Badminton has received the enthusiastic attention of forty Tigard students during the last winter and two evenings a week has seen all three playing courts filled and enthusiasts awaiting their turn. Permission was granted to the group to be recognized as a school club. Requirements for membership are ownership of a racket, consistent attendance, prompt payment of shuttle fee and good sportsmanship. In the Oregon State Badminton Association's Annual Junior Tournament Tigard captured five championship and four runner-up positions. In the Portland Park Junior Novice Tournament Tigard brought home ten of a possible eleven first-place trophies. Holding Oregon State and City championships are Bill Amburn, singles, and he and George Morgan, doubles. Other winners this year are Aldine McNott, Mana Amburn, Bill Hyde, Betty Parker, Tom Riverman and Pat Davis. Two inter-school girls' tournaments were lost to Grant High School's more experienced team. A mythical school team as selected by Mrs. Amburn, advisor, and results of ladder tournament play would be: Boys—Bill Amburn, George Morgan, Tom Riverman, Bill Hyde, Dean Davis, Nick Summich; Girls—Aldine McNott, Mana Amburn, Betty Parker, Pat Davis, Jean Carsh and Jenny Steele.
