CLASS HISTORY FRESHMAN CLASS In September of 1946, seventy-five very bewildered freshmen entered the doors of Ol’ Portland High. We had a very able sponsor, Mr. Bullen, to guide us over the first difhcule year. On January 10, the class successfully sponsored a dance, the “Snowball Swing.” We elected our officers: Pat Lawless, President; Larry Townsend, Vice-President; Evelyn Stegenga, Secretary; and Lowell Anderson, Treasurer. SOPHOMORE CLASS When we began our Sophomore year we were just a little wiser and bolder and with a year of experience behind us we gave evidence of growing activity and participation in school affairs. Mr. Bullen again was our sponsor. We elected our officers: Ann Lakin, President; Gloria Leach, Vice-President; Alice Wells, Secretary; Carol Poor, Treasurer. After Carol moved away Marvin Seal was elected to the position of treasurer. Our Thanksgiving Assembly Program was a real success. Our class was very proud to be represented by Nancy Edgar as Basketball Queen. JUNIOR CLASS We finally reached the mark of ‘‘Upperclassmen.” We began by electing our officers: Tom Buck, President; Vern Fedewa, Vice-President; Elaine Spohn, Secretary; Nancy Edgar, Treasurer. Our Sponsors this year were Mr. Beagle and Miss Oaster. On December 7th we received our class rings. We had a magazine sale contest with the Seniors which they won by a very close margin. On March 31 and April 1 we put on the Junior Play, “Made To Order Hero,” which proved to be a big success. May 27th was the date of the J-Hop, nd LIN CENTRAL PARK,” which was a grand affair. We had a ‘Southern Theme” for our Junior- Senior banquet on June 7th. SENIOR CLASS At last we are the high and mighty Seniors. We elected our officers: Bill Willemin, President; Marvin Seal, Vice-President; Elaine Spohn, Secretary; Chuck Willems, Treasurer. Mr. Beagle and Mrs. Piercefield guided us through our last days. December 1 and 2 was the date of our play ‘Hobgoblin House.’’ The date of our prom ‘“Dreamer’s Holiday’ was January 27. May 15 was the date that we left for Niagara Falls on our Senior Trip. We became alumni of Portland High School on Thursday evening, June 8, 1950.
