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

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 . . .

ClassWill, Class of'46 Item.—We bequeath our valuable sense of humor to the Athletic coaches and the empty spaces to be filled with trophies earned next year. Advice: A sense of humor never lets the opposition know how it hurts to lose a game. Item.—We bequeath our ability to the (flee Clubs to watch the leader and audience at the same time. We may have lost a measure but we never missed anything in the audience. Advice: The class song that we are leaving you, though not beautiful, is very durable. Its sentiments have been in active use for the last hundred years and show no sign of fatigue as yet. Item.—We bequeath our music appreciation to the band. When ever we hear “Auld Lang Syne” and “Suzy’s Marches,” we will remember the applause given during our rendition in dear old Tigard Hi. Advice: Any money left in the class treasury may be applied toward the purchasing of mouth organs, ukuleles, and “kazoos” for the school band. Item.—We leave peace and quiet to our dear old school building itself. Advice: Absence will cause fond remembrances, kindly forgive any apple cores, wads of gum or crumpled notes we may have left about. Item.—We bequeath to whom it may concern our very kindest regards and sincere appreciation for your unfailing kindness and aid. P. S. Any property or personal possession of ours that may remain we give to the Board of Education to use as it sees fit. Finally, we do hereby name and appoint as the sole executor of this, our last Will and Testament, our Caretaker, Dan Jones. In witness whereof we, the Senior Class of 1946, the testator, have set our hands and seal on this 24th day of May in the year of 1946. The Senior Class. Twenty-one
