Historical Record Let us admit it fairly as high school Seniors should; We've had no end of lessons, and they have done us no end of good. We entered as timid Freshmen, we leave as graduates bold, And we find it hard to realize the knowledge our young heads hold. We've had our foolish notions knocked higher than Franklin’s kite; Our minds have been made over, and we know it served us right. We’ve spent four years in labor hard to prove the fact once more That life is quite confused, and two and two are seldom four. We’re crammed to the brim with learning, and now we must turn it to use; And if one of us is a failure, he hasn’t a single excuse. The more we work and the less we talk, the better results we shall get, For we have had four years of training; it may make us successes yet. Let us admit it fairly as high school Seniors should, We’re proud of Tigard High School; it has done us a lot of good. Class Officers 1942-1946 1942-1943 1944-1945 President . . .

Class Will Class of 46 We, the class of 1946, in the town of Tigard, the county of Washington, and the state of Oregon, being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this, our last Will and Testament, in manner and form following, to-wit: Item.—We bequeath to the junior Class our self satisfaction, our importance, our wisdom, our good luck and our well known nerve. Advice: We realize the Junior Class can never fill our roll of dignity, but since it is expected of you, “Grin and bear it.” Item.—We leave to our good friends, the Sophomore Class, our supply of language, the ability to keep on good terms with the faculty, and our patience. Advice: Patience will be found useful as the only means by which you can endure the Juniors. Item.—We give to the unsophisticated Freshman a map of the school building, also a book entitled “How to Tell the Teachers.” Advice: The legatees will notice this book is not what to tell the teachers but how. It contains information as to which teachers can be bluffed, which are easy and which are hard to please, and those whom it is impossible to please. Item.—We bequeath to our two advisors (Mr. Fowler and Mrs. Mullen) a sense of relief that we have at last been graduated. We leave pleasant memories of our four years together. Advice: We feel that our information obtained by original research and contemplation may merit consideration, and you have a right to a feeling of pride in any great deeds or noteworthy achievements that our future may contain. Item.—We hereby give to our teachers, the faculty of the Tigard High School, free from all inheritance, luxury or income tax, our entire store of knowledge. From you it came and to you it should be returned, that others may be benefitted by it as we have. Advice: We lack space for details, but simply state that our arguments against examinations and for bigger and better holidays are of vital importance. Twenty
