BUARD 0F EDUCATIIIN Acting as an advisory group, the School Board occupies a most important and responsible posi- tion at the head of our school sys- tem. The members, Mr. Byron Jenkins, Mrs. Emmett Saxman, and Mr. Donald Hammitt, because of their sympathetic interest in all school affairs, are especially fitted for their positions.

SUPERINTENDENT The steering of the educational mechanism of Portland for the last seventeen years has been, to a very great extent, in the hands of Mr. J. C. Webb, our Superin- tendent. His long and successful experience in school Work, his un- derstanding of human nature, and his keen appreciation of the needs of young people have combined to make him a vital force in the community. Back of every move- ment toward progress and every step toward success in the city schools have been the forethought, the Wisdom, and sterling charac- ter of Mr. Webb.

Any success achieved after graduation by the students of Portland High School is due, in some small measure at least, to the influence of their teachers. The Seniors feel that the book learning they have been taught is really secondary to the contacts and experiences which they have had with their teachers as people. New members of the faculty last fall were Miss Allison, Mrs Reith, and Mr. Cady, and at midyear Mr. Hedges. Top Row:- D. S.
