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.
