Each officer wore an identical frock of aqua green, and later on in the year purchased a pin sym- bolic of her office. Under the guidance of their dean, Mrs. Juanita Thompson, who was later re- place dbecause of illness by Mrs. Summers and Mrs. Mullen, the girls enjoyed an active and profitable year. Meetings were held once Cl month throughout the year, at which time group singing, skits from the different classes, business of the or- ganization and plans to for- ward the activities of the group took place. At the March meeting Miss Doltz, from the University of Ore-- gon Medical School, spoke to the girls on the importance of aCdet Nursing. A new room, completely furnished, was ready at the beginning of school for all the girls. The Girls' League financed its cost and this year's cabinet officers planned and worked on it during the summer. During the second semes- ter the organization spon- sored weekly bond and Stamp sales as a service proyect and sold pep hats and pennants during football and basketball season, which netted about 550. As last year, the Girls' League cabi- net prepared service boxes for the boys leaving from the Beaverton Draft 0Bard, On December 2, nine senior girls attended the dis- trict conference at McMinn- ville, where they enjoyed a P!'0gram of group discus- sions, singing, inspiring speakers, and afternoon tea. The largest event of the year was the Carnival, held December 8, under the su- pervision and planning of Shirley Lehr, general chair- man, and Janet Morgan, president of the league. The net profit of S377 was the largest ever to be cleared from the annua levent. On November ll a capac- ity crowd attended the Sadie Hawkins dance in the gym- nasium, which was decorated in keeping with its theme. A Has Busy Year skit t y p i f y i n g Dogpatch, w h i c h symbolizes Sadie Hawkins day, was presented during the evening. A Post-Exam party, given for the entire student body, took place January 18. Deco- rations took on a Mexican air, with dancing and games as highlights of the evening's fun. Cokes and cake were served free to all of the stu- dents. The Mothers' Tea, April 5, provided a musical program, with both mothers and daughters participating. The auditorium and tea table were bright with spring flowers and each mother was presented a corsage of red camellias.

The May Fete, which was deemed a success by those who attended, was sponsored and financed by the Girls' League, the last major event of their busy year. ACTIVITY PERIOD A plan for a daily activity period, with especially as- signed days for the school's club and class meetings, was introduced to the student body at the beginning of the second- semester. The plan was decided upon in a faculty meeting, and the arranging o fthe schedule was undertaken by Mrs. Am- burn. For the convenience of the organization officers, the schedule was published in the Hi-Spots a month in ad- Vance. The plan was accepted by both teachers and students as a success and in all prob- ability will be continued next year. SPORT HIGHLIGHTS With six returning letter- men under the direction of Hal Smith, Tigard's football squad turned in a commend- able season's performance. Tigard's team fought hard to win four games this sea- son. The most thrilling moment of the season was when Gary Harvey intercepted a New'- berg pass and raced 95 yards through a heavy Newberg eleven to score. In basketball the Tigers wound up in a fourth-place tie with Hillsboro by win- ning six games and losing eight in league play. Before the season, the Tigers won two out of three games. Bill Amburn was the only re- turning letterman and the team was based around him. Other senior players were Kenny Olson, Don Smith and t'Spider Weston. The 45 baseball team was again under the direc- tion of Mr. Fowler and the ,first practice showed many boys turning out along with the four returning lettermen, who were: Vernon Richards, Carl Davis, Don Smith and Bill Riverman. The team looked in fine shape for the opening game and carried out a tough schedule. BADMINTON POPULAR Badminton, since its intro- duction to Tigard nearly two years ago, has become one of the most popular extracur- ricular activities in school. For the past year 20 students have turned out faithfully one night a week. A number of tournaments have been entered and sev- eral championships captured by members of the club. Bill Amburn is state boys' sin- gles champion and Bill Am- burn and Loren Miller are state singles champions, jun- ior division.
