ANNA MAE WHEELER GERMAINE MARTIN Valedictorian Salutatorian RICHARD OAKES FRANK McGOWAN CAROLYN SMITH ANNA MAE WHEELER President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer CLASS HISTORY Four years ago a group of bewildered freshmen, the class of °48, started their upward climb in Portland High School under the guidance of Miss Hoerner. Our class officers were: President, Eleanore Huizenga; Vice-President, Mary Ann Fox; Secretary, Germaine Martin; Treasurer, Don Schrauben. Football, basketball, band, magazine sale, and assem- bly programs were a major part of this year. Upon entering our second year of high school we carried with us little knowledge of the future. Fred Lowery was placed in command of our class under the guidance of Mr. McGregor. Other officers were: Joan Wilcox, Vice-President; Marilyn Willemin, Secre- tary; and Jim McCormack, Treasurer. The class participated in a dance and assembly pro- grams. The boys were well represented in basketball, football and other sports. Our Junior year came with the realization that we were at last of some importance in ‘our school. Officers elected were: President, Jim McCormack; Vice-President, Fred Hui- zenga; Secretary, Mary Ann Fox; Treasurer, Carolyn Smith, under the sponsorship of Miss Richard. Our class sponsored several dances, the Junior Play, “The Late Mr. Early,” and the J-Hop, “Stairway to the Stars,’ both of which were a great success. This year we won the magazine sale contest from the seniors. They were our guests at the Junior- Senior Banquet. Finally the great day came. At long last we were seniors. Our first move was to elect the officers pictured above, with the help of our sponsor, Miss Reber. The highlight of the year was our Senior Prom, “Serenade of the Bells.” The Senior Play, “Miss Smarty,” was also a success. And we again won the magazine sale. The annual speaks for itself. We eagerly look forward to the day of commencement, but also with a hidden sorrow in our hearts. We can always remember that last year in school as the most enjoyable one we had experienced. Page Six
