As seniors faced the last three days of an era together, the baseball team provided nearly a per- fect ending to the year. Winning the Wilco League championship and advancing through the State playoffs, they found themselves the center of at- tention the evening before graduation ceremonies - they were playing for the State title at Civic Sta- dium. A huge Tigard contingent showed up and offered support but mistakes and bad luck haunted the Tigers and West Linn won the championship, the Tigers third loss of the season against 29 wins. Despite the disappointment, spirits were high the following day at Civic Auditorium for commence- ment exercises. The work and the waiting finally ended on the afternoon of June 4 as seniors strode across the stage in front of family and friends to receive the symbol of achievement after twelve years - a diploma.
