The Main Event l.adies and Gentlemen: Tonight the Senior Station has the honor to broadcast the commencement exercise of the Tigard Union High School. Here we are, right by the ring side in the Senior Station already to witness the big event of the season and one of the greatest attractions ever given in this auditorium. Huge crowds are storming the doors. It promises to be a battle of wits. Here they come, folks. Here they come—contestants. They are marching in two by two. They are taking their seats on the stage. A fine brawny, brainy gang they are, too, with a high amateur standing. After a long indoor campaign coached by that perennial promoter, T.R.F., they are ready to join the major league. They appear to be in the pink of condition. The boys look uncomfortable and the girls look pretty enough to win a decision from any referee. They're off! They’re off! Some chap is making an address of welcome. No doubt it is the Class President. He looks sad, maybe it is his natural expression. Now, folks, a great treat is coming. Miss Somebody is going to sing, she is bowing to the audience, they are going wild with enthusiasm. She is singing an Aria” from some Opery. Next we have an oration by a young oratorical middle weight. Subject is Why is Democracy a Failure.” She is faltering. She can't remember her speech. Her expression brightens—she finished her speech. We are betting heavily on the next number. The Triple Trio will warble some very tuneful numbers. The crowd seems to like it. Now other numbers are following in a planned order. Several home runs and no errors. What do you know, folks? Here comes the president of the Board of Education. He is a genial guy with the flash of an electric bulb. He is about to award the diplomas. Not an entry was scratched. There’s a record to be proud of, friends, and one that is unusual in the education world. The marks that teachers give you depend upon their reactions to your individual peculiarities. Will the sum total of all these reactions manifest themselves into scholarships for fortunate few? Now, friends, our time is about gone; in conclusion, 1 would like to say that, the winners, the graduates arc trying to l x k modest and arc receiving the congratulations of their loving friends and everybody is happy, even the umpire. twenty-eight
