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.

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.

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.
