There was the enrollment of four hundred seventy-six in September that upped last year's first day by nineteen. There was the traditional razzing of timid freshmen, the unspeakable joy in an undefeated football eleven, and the breathless frenzy of a successful basketball team. There were the thrill- ing holiday parties, the occasional mo- ments of hitting the books, and the epidemic of new affairs of the heart that always breaks out like a rash with the arrival of spring. But by far the most outstanding event of the year was the resignation in August of Principal D. S. Weller. Eigh- teen years principal of the senior high school, tall friendly Mr. Weller had won a place in the hearts of oldsters as well as youngsters of the community.

Brubaker, form- er principal and coach of Madison Township High School. Student body and faculty alike rallied to him immedi- ately, and so a new era in P. H. S. was inaugurated. Rumblings of selective service, de- fense education, and Lend-Lease Bill implications depressed the spirits of many United States citizens, but base- ball games, Hnal exams, and graduation activities occupied the attention of the citizens of Portland High School as the school year neared its close. SUPERINTENDENT D. S. WELLER ' 1 I-1- I THE ADMINISTRATION Jenkins EIected .Iudge Voters at last Novemberis election chose Byron G. Jenkins as Judge of the Jay Circuit Court. Capable, energetic, enthusiastic, Mr. Jenkins had been a driving force on the Board of Education since his appointment in 1936. Because of his new duties which he assumed January 1, 1941, Mr. Jenkins resigned from the Board. New Board Member William Parks, senior member of the Parks Motor Sales Company and prom- inent business man, was appointed by the City Council to serve on the School Board in the vacancy left by Mr. Jenkins. With the reorganization of the Board in January, Mr. Donald Hammitt was elected president, Mrs. Emmett Saxman, treasurer, and Mr. Parks, secretary. Improvements--Actual and Proposed Under the direction of the Board, several improvements have been intro- JUDGE BYRON JENKINS . .... resigned duced at the high school. During Christmas vacation, a new shower room for boys was constructed in the base- ment. The room is entered by a fire- proof, steel stairway installed at the west end of the gymnasium and is used as a dressing room for the boys' physical training classes and for the home ath- letic teams. The old shower rooms at the east end of the gymnasium have been converted into a dressing room for the girls' physical training classes. An- other change was the installation of new outside doors to the gymnasium. As we go to press, there are several more proposed changes. For the func- tioning of the defense program, the government needs more men who have had training in machine work, sheet metal work and mechanics. If a tempo- rary industrial arts building were con- structed, it would be possible to teach these subjects as part of the school curriculum. A new building would also relieve the crowded conditions in the high school itself by permitting the commercial and home economics de- partments as well as the library to absorb some of the space thus made available. MR. PARKS, MRS. SAXIVIAN, AND MR. HAMMITT . . . . inspected the new shower rooms. THE ADMINISTRATION Effects Many Changes 'Tm enjoying my new work as Su- perintendent very much, but I can't help missing the close contact with the student body, said Superintendent D. S. Weller in an off-the-record interview. Emanating from the Superintendent's office were several innovations in 1940- 41. Held February 17 and 18 at all city school buildings were speech and hearing tests conducted by the travel- ing unit of the Indiana University Speech and Hearing Clinic, and spon- sored by the Psi Iota Xi Sorority. Seniors of all high schools in Jay County were invited to a Senior Guid- ance Conference at Portland High School on March 11. The program of the morning was built around voca- tional guidance problems with discus- sion led by local men and women, while afternoon classes concerning educa- tional guidance work were conducted by representatives of Indiana colleges and universities. A small room, formerly storage space in the Superintendent's office, has been converted into a reception room. A partition now divides the outer office of Mrs. Harold Hanlin from the private office of Mr. Weller in the west end of the room. Accepts New Post Carrying out old traditions in a new way has been the task of Mr. Harold Brubaker, new Principal of Portland High School. His success may be measured by the harmony with which all the cogs in the school machinery have functioned smoothly and effi- ciently. For next year a few plans are being considered. One proposal is to have a committee composed of several students and faculty members whose duty it will be to arrange assembly programs. In order to eliminate the demolishing of so many locks each year when stu- dents forget their keys, it will be sug- gested that all students have the same kind of locks and that a master key be kept in the office- for emergencies. Although they have known him only a few months, students and faculty both have learned to like and to admire Mr. Brubaker. Louise Jameson-Music Supervisor, G. R. Assistant Sponsor.

The personnel of the faculty of Port- land High School changed somewhat during this school year. Mr. Harold S. Brubaker, who suc- ceeded Mr. Weller, came to Portland well qualified to fulfill his position as principal. The holder of a Bachelor of Arts degree from Ball State Teachers College and a Master of Arts degree from Indiana University, Mr. Brubaker has also taken work at the University of Illinois and has done graduate work in the School of Education at Ball State. Miss Louise Jameson, with a B. S. degree in music from Ball State, became supervisor of music in the Portland schools after a year's experience in Pennville. Miss Jeanne McCarty received a B. S. degree from Ball State last June and was placed as director of girls' physical education in Portland. The position of science teacher was left vacant in January when Mr. Cady resigned to accept a position with the Delco Remy Corporation in Anderson, Indiana. His place was filled by Mr. Ralph Settle, a former teacher in the Newcastle Junior High School who holds a B. S. degree from Ball State and who has done graduate work at Indiana University toward a Master's. Additional Training For Many The local Federation of Teachers, in urging the adoption of a uniform salary schedule, also encouraged each teacher to take more training in his particular field. Two teachers have already earned a second degree. Last summer, Miss Arbogast received an M. A. degree in home economics from Columbia Uni- versity, and Miss Harvey completed work on a B. S. degree in library science, also from Columbia. In August Mr. Starr will receive an M. A. degree from Ball State. Mr. Farris has done work at Ball State and Mr. Hedges at Columbia, both leading toward the Master's degree. Miss Tharp has done Work at Ball State and at George Washington Uni- versity in Washington, D. C. in prepara- tion for a Master's degree with counsel- ing as a major. This 'n That Things not learned in college-Miss McCarty decided that college didn't prepare one for some situations that might arise. When a Freshman girl turned up after gym class minus her dress, consternation almost developed into panic. The awkward state of af- fairs was saved by sending the poor girl home in a snow suit. A new excuse for not coming to school -Mr. Brubaker gave a C for this one: A telephone message called me home and nobody was there, so I just waited all day. . Mistakes never cease-Mr. Farris was very enthusiastically presenting an 11B lesson to a group of unresponsive students the first day of the new semes- ter. After the first twenty minutes, he was informed that it was a 9A class. The case of the missing bridegroom --Miss White wants to find the bride- groom. After returning from the tour- ney at Huntington, she discovered a large sign announcing Just Married on the back of her car. Could the two Senior girls or the teacher from Madi- son who accompanied her know any- thing about it? Velma Steed fafter A. A. U.

Classroom News Several new trends were noticeable in class- room procedure and methods of teaching. Mr. Sta1'r's sociology class experimented with informal or 'tprogressive education during the second semester. An elected leader conducted discussion and students had complete control of the entire class, Health class, taught by Mr. Todd, and sociol- ogy students from Mr. Hedge's class experienced an informative tour of the Delaware County In- firmary and the Epileptic Village at Newcastle. Later the health class taught by Mi.ss McCarty visited the School for Feebleminded at Fort Wayne. Such mass movements presented a chore of staggering complexity, but the pil- grimages bore out in reality facts and ideas which had seemed merely theoretical in the text book. Very practical was the vocational and educa- tional -conference held March ll for all Seniors. The local Kiwanis Club assisted in the guidance program by providing a friend in each partic- ular field to advise each graduate along what- ever line of work he selected. An oversized edition of the Megaphone was published in February by 'lhe Senior English class. Several excursions were enjoyed by the ad- vanced foods class-to the H and H Bakery, thc Equity Dairy Store, and Hamma's Grocery, where they were given a meat cutting demon- stration. In process of planning, as we got to press, were a style show featuring outfits made by the advanced clothing class to be presented in May, and a tentative trip to Ball's Stores in Muncie with a tour of Ball State included on the same trip. Advanced Vo-Ag boys again enjoyed their annual quick trip to Chicago in December to attend the International Live Stock Show. Civics and sod, classes attended a judge and jury trial in the court house during the January term of court. Five boys enrolled in foods class, while sev- eral girls invaded the manual training classes. New books for the library were placed on the shelves almo.st every month, and beginning with the second semester, several periodicals began arriving. xt THE CLASS of 1941 Seniors Conclude COIOFFUI CBFCCT No one is quite so heavily senti-- mental as a Senior, and the graduates of 1941 ran true to form. Memories of the past four years were sacred, and a hysterical giggle or a cocky swagger on Class Day probably was concealing a tight and aching throat or a misty eye. They had come a long way--these Seniors. 1937-1938 In the days when they were Fresh- men, the future had been immense and the mysteries of high school life over- whelming. Unexperienced in the art of carrying keys, jamming belongings into lockers, securing A pass-slips, managing an armload of books plus a full ink bottle, and Hghting one's way through crowded corridors, many timid souls found the going difficult. But little by little, they became acclimated. With envy they studied the actions of the upperclassmen, smiled shyly, and stretched their necks to gawk at the pictures of past glories in the halls. 1 9 3 8 - 1 9 3 9 Une morning in September, theylawoke to iind themselves Sophomores. More assured, they were still very definitely underclassmen. Extra-curricular ac- tivities demanded their attention-clubs, music, and athletics. Their period of apprenticeship was beginning to bear fruit, for real leaders in all depart- ments were arising from their group. 1 9 3 9 - 1 9 4 0 Confidently then as Juniors, they be- gan to take their rightful place in the sun. Officers elected were Jim Mc- Kinley as President, Robert Norton, Vice-President, Sarah Marchant, Sec- retary-Treasurerg and Mr. Hedges, Sponsor. Wiser, more effective atten- tion was centered on extra-curricular activities. Launching a new career in JIM LOPER, BOB DAWSON and P1-IYLLIS ELZEY They won the elections. THE CLASS of 1941 dramatics, the Juniors produced their class play. When the curtains drew together on the last act, the applause was music to their ears. Less amusing, more thrilling were the struggles for achievement in sports. Overnight, ordinary fellows became heroes. The roaring bonfire at Meridian and Main flamed no higher than their pride in the sectional winners. The calendar for May already bulging with red letter days, another one was added-the date of the reception. In the dim half-light of the gay decorations, the Juniors realized that three of their years in high school were over. 1 9 4 0 - 1 9 4 1 Ninety-five supreme beings answered the announcement for the first Senior meeting in the fall of 1940. Lockers in the front corridor, new class rings, name cards to be exchanged-ah, life was wonderful! Most significant was the election of class officers: Bob Daw- son, President, Jim Loper, Vice-Presi- dent, and Phyllis Elzey, Secretary- Treasurer. Capable Mr. Hedges, suc- cessful mentor of their Junior year, was unanimously chosen to be their Senior sponsor. Following the trend in fads, all the girls wore red-red Sloppy Joe's, red jackets, and big red gloves. Mocassins were the accepted footwear for girls while boys clopped around in hand- painted works of art, heavy and loud enough to be both seen and heard. One Friday in February, the student body thought Spring had indeed arrived, closer inspection of the Baltimore orioles showed them to be Senior boys in orange corduroy trousers, their stand- ard uniform from then on. As March went into April and April blossomed into May, Senior play try- outs conflicted with last minute Typhoon copy writing, Girl Reserve meetings bumped into operetta practices, spring shopping expeditions clashed seriously with everyday classes, the school year approached its climax-Senior week. With the colorful Class Day program, romantic Junior-Senior reception, im- pressive Baccalaureate services, inspira- tional Commencement exercises, and flattering Alumni Banquet, it's not sur- prising that No one is quite so heavily sentimental as a Senior.

P' 1 QJI11 emnrrzrm Ulehith gliluugli W 17 THE CLASS oi1942 Juniors Give Play, Banquet for Seniors The first big event of the year for the Juniors was the organization of the class. William Smith was elected pres- ident, Dale Reitenour, vice-president, Bonnie Lake, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Starr, sponsor. Emanuel Master and Tunis Bond, runner-ups for presi- dent, Bill Thomas and Tunis Bond in the contest for vice-president, and Mary Lou Brewster, Joan Chaney and Tunis Bond running for secretary-treasurer made the election an exciting affair. The first major class project was the presentation of Lena Rivers to an enthusiastic audience on December 17. Individually, the Juniors took an active part in all extra-curricular activities- athletics, clubs and music. ln the mad rush for fame, however, the value of good grades was not for- gotten. Although he carried five sub- jects, LaVaughn Stout received four A's the first semester. Other industrious students were Rosemary Minch and Helen Wilson, receivers of three A's, and Jean Orr, Ferd Markley and Robert Hunt who each received two A's. As we go to press, the members of the class of '42 are carefully planning their activities for the last few weeks of school. Committees are being ap- pointed to plan a grand reception for the Seniors in May. As they usher at the commencement exercises, Juniors will be looking forward to next fall when they will be Seniors.

THE CLASS of 1943 sophomores Train For Upperclassman Duties Instead of the usual group of quiet Sophomores, the class of '43 was an active part of life at P. H. S. Some of the most important members of the different musical groups were from the Sophomore class, and many of the boys saw their first action in athletic con- tests during the year. Most of the members of the class belong to the G. R., Hi-Y, or Vo-Ag. Social and athletic affairs were not allowed to hide the importance of scholastic attainment. Merlyn Bailey was an all A student the first semester, Margaret Current and Donna Erlet both received three A'sg and Pat Bad- ders, Pal Holloway, and Wendell Klop- fenstein deserve honorable mention with two A's each. With the class organization, play, and reception, next year promises to be one of the most exciting years of their school career.

THE CLASS of 1944 The Frosh are Many and Mighty It was like a deluge when the one hundred and seventy-five Freshman students in September and the twenty- five mid-year students in Janaury en- tered Portland High as members of the class of '44. After the first few days of adjustment, good grades were the most important goals for most of the class. Wanda Whipple, Opal Smith and Mary Garrison were all A students, Richard Hummer received three A's, and Jean Hoskins, Marlyn Marsh, Pat Richer, Mabel Jean Platt, and Elsie Sanders had two A's each. In addition to scholastic interests, many members of the class found time for extra-curricular activities-chorus, band, orchestra, clubs and athletics. The dating of Freshmen girls with up- per-classman boys almost reached extra- curricular activity proprtions. As the year draws to a close, each Freshman is looking forward to next fall and a second year at P. H. S. As We See Them Richard Hummer, in Christmas play . . .

Practical lessons in how to conduct business-like meetings, how to plan a working program, how to launch a drive for funds, and above all how to get along with one another are painless by-products of extra- curricular activities. Old tried-and-true organizations flourished side by side with new upstart clubs this year, and a full activity calendar was the result. Probably the most active of all clubs is the Girl Reserves, membership in which is open to all high school girls. The cabinet, made up of the officers, sponsors, and the chairmen of the seven standing committees plan in advance the program for the year, and each month brings forth its quota of business meetings, inspirational programs, in- formal get-togethers, and social service projects. Most of the work is done through committees, every member of the club having an opportunity to vol- unteer for the particular kind of work in which she is interested. Besides the seven standing committees, there are QUEEN SQRAH and KING KEITH . . . reigned over the ball various special ones appointed as the need arises. Training is thus provided in effective leadership as well as in intelligent following. Cooperation - Deeds, not words - and Learn to do by doing have been the foundation stones on which the Vo-Ag Club has been building for the past nine years. Evidence of the sound- ness of this program is the fact that the department has doubled its enrollment during that time. Realizing that the success of any democratic community depends upon its members, recognition of the necessity of working together for the common good and accepting in- dividual responsibility the club has cooperated with many other organiza- tions with similar aims as well as carrying on various cooperative enter- prises of its own. Each individual is given personal responsibilities, and members of his own group urge him on to carry out his job and commend him for accomplishment. For two years, Pep Sessions instead of just happening have been carefully planned. The committee responsible for these programs is composed of both students and faculty members and is appointed by the principal at the open- ing of school in the fall. The value of planned programs cannot be doubted by anyone who has thoughtfully com- pared pep sessions as they were this year with those of several years ago. Perhaps from the success of this com- mittee will develop a system of having other types of assemblies in addition to pep sessions worked out by a student- faculty committee. Brother organization of the Girl Re- serves is the Hi-Y Club. Members are elected by balloting and humorous as well as serious initiation services are held. Meetings featuring talks by prom- inent local men are held. Often bas- ketball provides the entertainment after the meetings. Among the newer clubs, I. T. T., a discussion group, satisfies every girl's desire to talk over with her friends such problems as ettiquete, dating, dancing, clothes and the numerous other subjects of interest to all high school girls. Meetings are held every two ACTIVITIES REVIEW weeks at which time a round table dis- cussion takes place and the free ex- change of opinions is encouraged. A department club is the Junior Clas- sical League, open to all second year Latin students who are interested in learning more about Roman manners and customs. Regular classroom reci- tation and study is enlivened by such a class club, hum-drum work is moti- vated, and otherwise commonplace as- signments are made to have a meaning and a purpose. The Girls' Athletic Association fills the need of play in the high school girl's life. One night each week the gymnasium is entirely for girls, and organized teams in various sports com- pete for the pure joy of play. Physical habits as well as mental habits are formed in school, and the gym provides a splendid training field in which to develop good habits of leisure. Music is a universal language, and students in Portland High School have an opportunity to express their feelings by taking part in the various activities of the music department-band, or- chestra, chorus, and music appreciation. Biggest Senior project has always been the publication of the Typhoon. Published continuously for seventeen years, the year book has since 1936 been under the sponsorship of Mrs. Steven- son. An Editor and a Business Man- ager are selected by the faculty. They, together with the sponsor, select the other members of the Staff, choosing them from the slips which all Seniors are asked to turn in stating their prefer- ence for work which they feel qualified to do. Training in gathering and or- ganizing school news, in written com- position, in salesmanship, in shouldering responsibility, and in planning and carrying through to a successful con- clusion a complete project are the chief results which students who work on the Staff may expect. Besides the dividends of personal pleasure and profit which extra-curricu- lar activities pay, participation in one of these fields gives one a sense of be- longing, of contributing his share to that vague something called school spirit, and of being part of the color and glamour that is in the final analysis, a very definite part of one's high school experience. Hi-Y Initiation Junior officers G. R. Sponsors and Fri end SERVICE CLUBS Business and Social Meetings Featured Girl Reserves With a membership of approximately eighty-five, the Girl Reserves enjoyed an especially active year. Both the program committee and the social com- mittee chairmen had, with the advice of the president, mapped out tentative plans even before the opening of school last September. In keeping with the tradition estab- lished in former years, the Big Sister Christmas party was held in conjunc- tion with the B. P. W. Club, and week- ly devotional services marked the club's observance of Lent. The 60th Anniversary of the Girl Reserves was celebrated during April with a Mother and Daughter Banquet, a Vesper Service and a Birthday Party. Four timely questions on de- mocracy had been discussed by all clubsg the reports had been sent to New York, compiled and mimeographedg and a complete list was then sent to each club. These reports were read at the Birthday Party which all clubs held at the same hour on April 25. At that time, also, all Girl Reserves listened to a nation-wide broadcast and donated money to be sent to European Girl Re- serve Organizations. The local club sent the proceeds from their rummage sale. Among outstanding social events of the year were a Leap Year Touchdown dance at the close of the football season, and a semi-formal Valentine's dance. Faculty sponsors were Miss Tharp, Miss Jameson, and Miss McCarty. Mrs. John Arn and Mrs. Manford Chaney, mother sponsors, and Miss Alberta Brester, B. P. W. sponsor, also gave generously of their time and talents. Hi-Y Officers of Hi-Y were Paul Max Green, President, James McKinley, Vice-President, Paul Raymond Gagle, Secretary, Tunis Bond, Treasurer, and Jim Mayo, Sergeant-at-Arms. Because of the resignation of Mr. Cady, who had sponsored the club since 1939, a new faculty adviser had to be elected. Mr. Farris was willing to accept the responsibility for the rest of the school year. Most far-reaching, perhaps, of all activities conducted by the club, so far as the student body as a whole was concerned, was the installation in the east end of the downstairs corridor of a Coca-Cola dispensing machine. Many were the nickels that went into the slot. Second semester initiation was held the last meeting in February for eleven new members. Cheer Leading Committee During the second year of its exist- ence, the Cheer Leading Committee continued in an efficient way to carry out its two-fold purpose-that of choos- ing yell leaders and of planning pep ses- sions. From the several teams who tried out before the student body, they chose Gene Arn, Marianne Mills, and Joan Chaney as cheer leaders. These girls worked with the committee on all proj- ects. The group divided itself into smaller committees for special, more detailed work. The first four home basketball games were designated as Class Days, and students of each class wrote and presented skits before the assembly at pep sessions. Letters were sent to various school in neighboring counties for suggestions on how they were managing their pep meetings and for the exchange of yells and ideas. Paper pennants and automobile stickers were sold at tourneys. Always the goal before the com- mittee has been to encourage better sportsmanship among students and fans at all athletic events.

DISCUSSICDN, STUDY and PLAY New Clubs Create Interest I. T. T. Information to Teens is the name of the new organization comprised of Junior and Senior girls of Portland High School for the purpose of giving information and discussing problems that confront the modern high school girl. At the first meeting Jean Chaney was elected to serve as President. Other ofiicers were Esther Fogle, Vice-Prest- dent, Irene Thompson, Sec'reta1'y-T1'eas- urer, and Pat Beard, Discussion Chair- man. The club was sponsored by Miss McCarty and Miss Jameson. The group held regular meetings throughout the school year, meeting on the second Tuesday in every month. A panel discussion was held in Jan- uary with members of the Hi-Y club. A very interesting discussion resulted from the exchange of opinions which gave both boys' and girls' points of view. The five charter members were Lucille Peyton, Joan Chaney, Pat Beard, Deloris Strauss, and Mary Louise Teet- ers. Latin Club The American Classical League, an organization of college and high school teachers of Latin and Greek, sponsors the Junior Classical League for Latin students in high school. The local group, with Miss Harvey as adviser, met the first Wednesday of each month during the regular class period or at any other time and place which the committee decided. A year's program built around Roman life and customs included discussions of such subjects as soldier life, government, laws, and religion. At a picnic in April, Roman games were played, and the Roman banquet in May provided ex- amples of Roman Food, customs and life in the home. Ofiicers for the fall semester were: Consul, Wendell Klopfenstein, Aedile, Bud Smith, Quaestor, Joan Brady, and Pmetor, Jim Browne. Elected to serve for the spring semester were Consul, Pat Baddersg Aedile, Joan Bradyg Quaestor, Shirley Petschkeg and Praetor, Betty Peden. G. A. A. Always have there been girls' ath- letics in one form or another in Port- land High School, but not until this year has a club been organized and given a name. Calling themselves the Girls, Athletic Association, all girls in- terested in playing in the gym one night of every week met together and elected as their officers, President, Pat Baddersg Vice-President, Alice Fox: and Secretary-Treasurer, Lucille Pey- ton. Sports captains were: basketball, Maxine Warnock, soft ball, Elsie San- ders, and shuffle board and ping pong, Wanda Hicks. Betty Garringer was chosen news reporter. The Sophomores beat the Freshmen, while the Juniors were victors over the Seniors in a class basketball tournament held on February 19. In the final game between the Sophomores and the Juniors, the Juniors were champions, winning by a big score. Dk 214 ak Mr. Macklin: Did you make any' new records on your flight yesterday?

H. S. in 1940-41. Boys and girls who played instruments and who sang participated in the various music groups, while others, listeners, as well as doers, who wanted to learn more about great composers and their Works, eagerly joined the appreciation class. This class in Music Appreciation, a group of twenty-eight boys and girls, met every morning and gave rapt attention to the playing of phonograph records of the world's most famous soloists and orchestras. In December a trip was made to Berne to hear the presentation of Handel's Messiah, which is given annually by the Mennonite choir of that com- munity. Thirty students went to Ft. Wayne by bus one evening in March to attend a concert by the Fort Wayne Symphony Orchestra. Early in the fall, a hay ride added to the social life of the class. The Chorus class this year included several boys--LaVaughn Stout, Bill Thomas, Ed Friend, Emanuel Master, and Wendell Klopfenstein. whose male voices made a background for the high pitched tones of the girls' harmony. For the first time since 1937, an operetta was undertaken by the music classes. Magazine Princess, a carefree college story with keen humor and a rollicking music setting was presented on April 18. The sixteen characters who sang and danced their way through the romantic duets, colorful gypsy and stirring college choruses were stimulating in their freshness. V The Orchestra of eighteen members made public appearances at class plays, the Christmas program and Commencement exercises. They pre- sented a spring concert in the high school auditorium in May. The Band was under the direction of Mr. George McDonald of Red- key, who also conducted the American Legion Band. Four drum majorettes strutted gayly before the instrumentalists ine marching for- mation. Ik PIG Dk Miss Jameson: This number was composed by Philip Emanuel Bach. LaVaughn Stout: Is he one of the twenty little Boxes? 31 -. . --- .4-f. THEATRE Foot-Loose Would young people fare better if there were less supervision in the home and school? That is the question which the gay comedy, Foot Loose, attempts to answer. The plot is developed by the activities of the children in the Richard Early family who feel that they have been over-supervised. Emily, the mother, however, thinks that they are disobedi- ent. The parents are finally persuaded to take a world cruise and leave the responsibility for their children to Delphie, the cook. After a two months' vacation, they return to find that the period of absence has brought about a greater sense of appreciation among the members of the family, and that all will yet be well with them. Characters were: Richard Early, one of many vice-presi- dents of a suburban bank-Ewald Bash. Emily, his wife-Martha Banta. Hope, their daughter, a social service worker-Sarah Marchant. Dick, their son, a senior in medical school-Jim McKinley. Mary, another daughter, a senior in high school-Marilou O'Shaughnessy. Bob, another son, a junior in high school-Clyde Hunt. Delphie, general maid and adviser to the family-Ona Study. Randolph Cunningham, Mary's friend- Paul Max Green. Jenny Malloy, Dick's sweetheart-Man tha Lefever. Buzz Daily, Bob's chum-George Caster. Miriam Walker, Mary's friend-Phyllis Elzey. Jack Milford, a sophomore at Broad- hurst college-Paul Raymond Gagle. Sanford Welles, a young attorney- Robert Wheeler. Mrs. Forester, a cranky old widow- Deloris Strauss. Mary Ann Mills acted as director's as- sistant and prompter. Lena Rivers The Junior Class presented as their play on December 17, a modern version of the old favorite, Lena Rivers. The story, it may be remembered, follows the joys and sorrows of Lena Rivers fJoan Chaneyj and her beloved Granny Nichols fMaxine Schrollj who are compelled to leave their New Eng- land home and seek refuge with Granny Nichols' son John fFerd Markleyj, who has changed the family name of Nichols to Livingston because of the social as- pirations of his dominating wife, Matilda CHelen Wilsonj. With the aid of Junior Livingston fBill Thomasj and his sister Anna fVelma Jeanne Havilandl, and in spite of the efforts of Caroline Living- ston CHelen Porterj who is an echo of her mother, life is made more pleasant for the unwanted relatives. Other characters are Frank Graham QBill Smithj, a Southern gentleman, and Mrs. Graham, fPat Beardl, his jealous wife. In the play version, Aunt Milly CJune Councilmanj and Old Caesar fTunis Bond, Jr.J add the humor. Durward Belmont CLee Athaj and Malcolm Everett Games Spahrj pro- vide the romance. The play was coached by the class sponsor, Mr. Starr, while the advertis- ing and ticket sales were in charge of Mr. Bair. The following committee ar- ranged the stage and properties: Bob Hunt, Bob Holmes, Edward Green, Bonnie Lake, and Alice Weller.

The Ag boys carry on their work during the summer months, and many of their accomplishments are shown at the Jay County Fair, where their ef- forts are rewarded with cash prizes. This year Walter Meehan was the winner of the Corn Husking Contest with Willard Miller a close runner-up. They both represented the club in the state contest. The winners of the Pest Contest were Earl Shauver, first and Lawrence Sanders, second. Robert Pyle won sweepstakes in the local Poultry and Egg Show and George Caster won reserve sweepstakes. George Caster won second in the individual state contest at Purdue. The team, consisting of George Caster, Jim Caster and John Stroube, placed third at the state contest. The club's program of improving the live stock in the county was furthered this year by awarding pure bred registered gilts to the following: Virgil Valentine, Walter Meehan, Wil- liam Lacey, Gerald Stoner, and Paul Greaf. Fifty chicks were raised in the class roorn, both as a practice of cooperation and as an example of the benefits of following approved practices of chick management.

The radicals defeated the conservatives, and the result was that this year the staff published a news book. Embodying many features of both TIME and NEWSWEEK mag- azines, the 1941 Typhoon attempted to report the news of the year as it hap- pened in Portland High School. The first semester was spent in plan- ning the lay-out of the book, and in recording all fall and winter events in pictures. Max DeHoff and his Junior assistant Bill Thomas rivalled each other in their efforts to scoop the best snap of the year. Carol Juillerat herd- ed underclassmen before Mr. Hunt's camera, while Marilou O'Shaughnessy scheduled Senior pictures at the studio. Group pictures of activities were ar-- ranged for by Deloris Strauss, and every day Jim McKinley took inventory of the school happenings and marked them on his calendar. Not a sports event escaped the watchful eye and talented pen of Ewald Bash. All these opera- tions went forward under the capable direction of cool-headed Sarah March- ant. The second semester saw the sales drive get under way with Gene Arn and Paul Max Green working together on this phase of the project. By means of assembly talks, poster advertise- ments, a contest, and constant personal salesmanship both in school and down town, they kept the idea of buying a Typhoon in everybodyis mind. As the book approached completion, Velma Steed was typing copy as fast as Mrs. Stevenson could check it, and finally on a blustery Thursday near the Ides of March, the staff proudly took a bulky and bulging dummy to Berne to be printed.

Last spring saw our baseball team go through 9 straight for an undefeated season. This is something they had barely fallen short of, the last five years. Continuing in football the Panthers bowled over 7 straight in the first un- defeated and untied season in Portland's history. The basketball team tacked up 6 straight before they were defeated. Mid-season found them in a slump and they lost the county, but by sectional time they were ready. In this they traveled over a rough road but came home victorious. In the regionals they beat Decatur but lost to Huntington. Altogether Portland won 36 and lost 8 for a percentage of .818 which is a record any school can be proud of. CoAcHEs Tonn, FARMS, and MACKLIN They all had winners. Panther Eleven Undefeated and Untied This year Portland High had the first undefeated and untied team in the history of the school. Not since 1932 has any team of P. H. S. even compared with this one. The team four years ago lost every game played, but a look at the squad then proved that many of the first twenty-two were freshmen, and this year these pore little boys grew into the greatest team Portland ever had. Only one other school in the entire state had a perfect record. Although sports experts did not give Portland much credit, everyone be- lieves that the fighting Panthers could have beaten many other more highly rated teams. In most of the games the second and even the third string played the second half and no attempt was made to run up the score. Only Coldwater and Central Catholic made much of a showing, and after their first touchdown Central Catholic never again threaten- ed. This team had all the factors that go to make champions. Passing feat- ured the first two games which were won from Garrett, 19-6 and Coldwater, 13-6. The main offensive threat was the Money to McKinley combination. By the time of the Bluffton game, the line began to click and the running attack rounded into shape. This, com- bined with the already fine punting and passing, made the team a constant threat to its opponent. Probably the greatest triumphs came at the middle of the season. What was said to be the strongest Decatur team in years was defeated 33-0. The next week a very strong Richmond team was com- pletely humbled 25-0. Bluffton, De- catur, and Richmond made a total ag- gregate of only one hundred yards in rushing. In the Richmond game spec- tators saw just how truly effective Port- land's punters were. The Richmond punts averaged but nineteen yards while Loy and Money, local punters, averaged forty-one yards. This number compares favorably with that of many college kickers. The line was a big factor in SPORTS these kicks with not one kick being blocked all season. The game which best exemplified the Panthers' fighting spirit was the Knightstown game. For the first and only time in the season the Portland team was behind 6-0. The Panthers trampled the highly keyed-up Knightstown boys in the second half and won a bruising battle 20-6. Then came the first triumph in the history of P. H. S. over a tough Central Catholic eleven-13-6 victory to climax our greatest season. Zurzola, a boy who had run wild against Portland last year, never made a yard. The line of Norris, Loper, Reitenour, B. Norton, J. Caster, G. Caster and Stroube played as a unit, and few opponents were able to make any sub- stantial gains. Bluffton made but three first downs. Leavelle, the Richmond star, was so manhandled by the charg- ing line that he had to be taken out the last half. Another brilliant defense moment came in the Coldwater game. Coldwater received the opening kickoff and marched to Portland's two yard line. There, Coldwater's line was held for three downs, and on the fourth down a Coldwater back fumbled. Thus the greatest threat was extinguished. Probably Portland's greatest offensive weapon was the forward pass. The most effective flinger was Money, but Loy, Gaunt, Norton and McKinley could pass with better than average success. The receiving end of the passes featured Jim McKinley's amazing catches. Whenever McKinley was Watched too closely, the passes were tossed to Norris or Gaunt. One of the most exciting moments came in the Coldwater game at the half when two long sleeper passes netted 60 yards before the gun ended the half. Such strength in every department made Portland a great team! Pk 21 212 Roxanna Dunmoyer: 'Tm worried about my complexion. Betty Wyrick: You should diet. Roxannaz I never thought of that. What color do you suggest? Principal congratulates Coach On the Bench McClung Holds Badders SPORTS Fifteen Receive Letters in Football After football season, Coach Farris presented letters to thirteen Seniors and two Juniors. These awards, earned by outstanding play and a certain amount of time in the games, are much coveted by all, and the fifteen boys should be congratulated. Every Backfield Man a Threat At left-half, Money was in all prob- ability the best passer Portland ever had. In addition to this, he could punt well and his line smashing was the climax to many drives for touchdowns. The receiving end of Money's passes were McKinley, Gaunt, and Norris. McKinley and Gaunt were stellar runners and Gaunt's loose-legged punt returns set up several touchdowns. Mc- Kinley played brilliantly on defense and in two games he played with one eye. Red Norton, the quarter-back, was mainly a runner, but passed on a few occasions. His pep was one of the factors in keeping the team on their toes. On the Line Tiny'l Loper, all of two-hundred ten pounds, was the strongest of the six blocks of granite. He also blossomed into an offensive threat when he scored a point from a place kick after a touch- down. George and Jim Caster, Dale Reit- enour, Earl Norris, and John Stroube were not weaklings on defense either. Their offensive ability was seen by the way they blocked. Panther runners were never thrown for losses and punters and passers had plenty of time. The picture would not be quite com- plete if Blackie Norton were not men- tioned. His center passes were unerring and he, together with McKinley, made the toughest secondary in this section. The substitutes were much better than ordinary reserves. Weist was a capable man for relief and Bill Smith played the first game till Norris could play. Loy was a fine punter in a pinch and Schoenlein was also a big help. At first glance, it seems that Portland won,t have much next year with only two lettermen returning. The second team, however, won all three of their games and promise a new and interest- ing season.

SPORTS Powerful Panther Five Runnersup in Regional Portland this year advanced to the finals of the regional before meeting defeat. To gain this position they had won their second sectional in a row by brushing past Ridgeville, Pennville, Madison, and Roll. In the first game of the Regional the Panthers encountered Decatur. The Yellow Jackets, vastly improved over their previous meeting with Portland, pushed the Panthers to the limit. A fielder by Bill Smith Won the game as Portland pulled away to a 40-36 victory. The finals saw Portland go down be- fore a Huntington team much taller and bigger. The Panthers were close during the first half but the last half saw the Vikings pull away to a 52-38 victory. Seasonal Record 15 Won, 7 Lost After winning nine straight in base- ball and seven in football, the Panthers racked up six games in a row in basket- ball and it seemed they were invincible. At this point they met their Hrst de- feat but not until twenty-two consecu- tive victories had been made in the three major sports. The first game was a tune-up for the Panthers. They took the measure of a Gray team, which had already played a game, by a 25-17 count. Norton and McKinley hadn't been able to practice at all, and other members had had but one Week of warm-up because of the foot- ball games. The defensive tactics which were used by the team in this game turned out to be their major weapon all season. Decatur came to Portland and went back on the short end of a 32-21 score. The Panthers had plenty of room for improvement but they were beginning to look like a smooth working team. Next the Panthers journeyed to Bluff- ton and eked out a. 29-27 victory after being behind 14-9 at the fhalf. The Tigers, after this triumph, won seven straight including an overtime victory over South Side of Fort Wayne. Norris was outstanding in all of these games. He, together with McKinley, Norton, and Wilbur Smith, always started, but the fifth man was in doubt, Loy, Money, and Gaunt all having a chance for it. In a loosely played affray, Portland next subdued Union City 22-12. The score shouldn't have been half that close because the Panthers were hardly playing ball at all. Norton, high man, got but seven points. Then came one of the best played contests all season. The Panthers with fair accuracy at the hoop and with fine pass work defeated Fort Recovery 32- 24. This was sweet revenge for the Toddmen who had lost both games to Fort Recovery last year. Next we waltzed through Berne, 34-22, with the team really hitting long shots, but the following night came our first setback, 28-19, at the hands of Central Catholic of Fort Wayne. The Irish, the Catholic National champions last year, were really tough. The next week found us coasting through a 33-21 victory over the high- ly-touted Speedcats of Dunkirk. The Panthers turned in one of the most superb performances of the season. Two days later saw Hartford City nosing Portland 23-22 in a loosely ofh- ciated game. The Panthers behind 13-6 at the half, and still not hitting in the third quarter, Coach Todd scanned the bench for a substitute to start things off. Visibly playing a hunch, he inserted Roush. The boy really got hot. However, the Panther drive fell short. Probably the most enjoyable victory came when Pennville was routed 25-16. The Bulldogs were really laying for the Toddmen and nothing was more relish- ed by the local fans than the outcome of this meeting. By this time Coach Todd had his starting lineup completed. It consisted fContinued on page 431 Wilbur Smith Bill Smith Chris Money Don Schoenlein Row 1: Jim Loper, Student Manager, Ferd Markley, Meri- deth Sanders, Bob Ford, Harold Smith, Junior Valentine, Keith Leggett, Duane Smith.

Bob Norton Jim McKinley Jim Roush David Loy SPORTS Powerful Panther Five QContinued from page 415 of Roush, Norton, McKinley, Norris, and Wilbur Smith. The Big Four Tourney at Dunkirk was won by the Panthers for the first time after successive defeats dealt out to Redkey 46-38 and Dunkirk 33-32. This last game was a real thriller. Saratoga, a notable home-floor team, was our next victim. 'Toga proved to be tough and it took an overtime to con- quer them 25-23. ' Then followed a bad slump. First of all, the Panthers succumbed to Al- bany 26-2l. In the county the Gray Redbird's early season defeat was duplicated 30-24. Even in this game the team wasn't playing ball and in the semi-finals Pennville gained revenge for the earlier shellacking, winning by a score of 19-15. The Bulldogs nosed Hoehammer and Bryant in the finals 26-22 to become the new county champs. Continuing their poor playing the Panthers were handed another defeat by Cleon Hutchinson's Winchester Yel- low Jackets, 34-26. Union City followed this up with a 30-29 victory to keep intact their record of never having been beaten on their home floor by Port- land. Some excuse could be given by the team for these setbacks because of incomplete squads in both games. Wil- bur Smith was out of the Winchester game and Norris and Money both were out in the Wildcat affray. A hapless Madison team revived the Panther hopes when they were wallop- ed 43-22. Portland moved through at will and were hitting consistently. The Toddmen continued to look bet- ter again as they really turned it on for Fort Recovery, fresh from an eight game winning streak. The Indians were held without a field goal in the first half and were on the wrong side of a 20-4 score at halftime. In the last half the Panthers maintained their margin and won 39-23. Ridgeville, the next foe, was really waiting. Already upset winner over Pennville, Albany, Winchester, and Union City, they were gunning to add Portland to their victory string. It took a double overtime to do it, 38-36, but immediately the Panthers looked to the sectional for a chance to gain revenge. Their prayers were answered when they drew Ridgeville the first game. In the meantime the Panthers played their final scheduled game and nosed out an inspired Redkey team 31-29. Then came the sectional! Ridgeville was dropped by a 33-29 count. This game was exceptionally close the first half but the Panthers pulled away in the third quarter and the Cossack rally at the last fell short. The next game was the rubber game with Pennville, with Portland again triumphant 28-24. The game was mark- ed by the exceptional play of Schu- macher for the Bulldogs who got 17 of his team's points. He kept his team in front up until the last few moments. Madison was a breather for the Panthers who again crushed them, 43- 29. This enabled them to save their strength for the game with the Roll Red Rollers who had defeated Dun- kirk in the other semi-final game. Again the Toddmen played ball and really should be congratulated on the way they handled Roll's fast and big team. After a tight first half the pres- sure was applied to the Rollers and Portland Won going away at 37-26. As has already been stated, the Panthers went down fighting in the finals of the regional. Thus ended the best basketball season in history with the '41 Panthers going farther than any other Portland team has ever gone. They closed with a record of 20 won and 8 lost. Players who really were outstanding against Portland were Hammel, Mc- Ilrath, and Grossman all of Huntington, Faller of Ft. Recovery, Schumacher of Pennville, Walker of Central Catholic, and Cope and Lennox of Ridgeville.

Nine oppo- nents in a row were bowled over, most of them with plenty to spare. Pick Lake was the Panther ace with Haines pitching when the games were close together. This pitching staff chalked up three shutouts and allowed the opponents but 1.6 runs on an average per game. The hitting was superb with Haines and Rowland wielding the heaviest bats. The climax came as the Panthers massacred Hartford City 22 to 1. Twice before, a team from this same school had spoiled an undefeated season, so this victory was especially sweet for the Farrismen. Next year Portland will have a vet- eran nine with pitching and catching presenting the main problems. Here is the Panther record.

FEATURES Seniors Receive Sciioiastic and Activity Awards An old saying has it that Virtue is its own reward. This truth is undoubtedly applicable to the field of scholastic endeavor. Recognition, however, for outstanding ability and honest effort does not come amiss. Sev- eral awards are presented each year to Seniors who have earned such recognition. Based on marks received during all the four years in high school, the list of persons who made an average grade of 90'7b or above is an imposing one. The following names are arranged in order of their rank- ing. 1 Velma Steed 7 Sarah Marchant 2 Marilou O'Shaughnessy 8 Deloris Strauss 3 Ewald Bash 9 Clara Steiner 4 Reba Pyle 10 Ona K. Study 5 Carol Juillerat 11 Mary Ann Mills 6 De Ida Wall 12 Martha Lefever Sarah Marchant was awarded the Girl Reserve Trophy this year. The committee for selecting the winner each year is com- posed of the Junior Sponsor, the Senior Sponsor, the Principal, and one Girl Reserve from each class. The award, based upon per- sonality, activities, character, and scholar- ship, carries with it the honor of having the winner's name inscribed on the trophy. The American Legion annually presents a medal to the Senior who has the highest scholastic average. This year the award went to Velma Steed, who with an average cf 95.46'Zy stood at the head of a class of ninety-tive students. The most prominent Senior Vo-Ag boy of 1941 was Walter Meehan. Chosen for his scholastic average, extra-curricular activities, co-operation and Vo-Ag Club work, the winner received a medal with the inscrip- tion Outstanding Vo-Ag. Presented ea-ch year to the Senior who has made the greatest progress in his science work, the Bausch and Lomb Science Award provides recognition to science students of exceptional ability. This year Marilou O'Shaughnessy and Max DeHoff tied for the honor, so' both students were presented with medals. Various minor awards were also bestowed upon Seniors during the year. Reba Pyle won second place in the County Oratorical Contest, sponsored by the American Legion. She was presented with a certificate of par- ticipation in recognition of her ability. Sarah Marchant was chosen as representative in the D. A. R. Citizens.hip Contest. G. A. A. letters were presented to Martha Liefever, Virginia McClung, and Esther Fogle for their active interest in all seasonal sports.

Embarrassed, you turn and unconsciously find your- self trucking down the hall to the tune of Frenesi which is screeching through the building from the gym where it is being murdered by Port- land's Cornhusking 133' Well, if youlre lucky enough to get to your room, after three or four bullies have knocked your books to the iioor, you immediately put on the Esquiric walk fto make an impression upon the teacheri. Smiling contentedly, you start to sit down gracefully, only to be horrified by coming in direct contact with that sharp obstacle commonly known as a tack. Finally, settling down, you go through the usual class procedure with your dear friends and neighbors snoring loudly while little Percy gives one of those Sahara desert book reports. But the bell finally rings. You modestly step into the aisle with visions of a peaceful journey home, but lo and behold, you are trampled underl- foot by the onslaught of dashing stu- dents. They put you in mind of a gang of cattle thieves being pursued by a posse of such noted law makers as Ken Maynard, Buck Jones and the Lone Ranger. At last you are free to stroll proudly down the walk, breathing the soft, fragrant spring air. Suddenly some big hod violently pushes you from the walk into the street where you are run over by one of our Barney Old- iields, speeding up Water Street and waving to his heart flame. Thus ends one quiet day at old P. H. S. Could You lmagine--- Dicky Hummer as a football hero? Delda Wall as a bashful, blushing bride? Duane Harker as a piano tuner? Gooch Master as a ladies' man?
