CLASSES STRESSED SUBJECTS RELATED OLLQVVING the trend in education since Pearl Harbor, the curriculum of Portland High School has emphasized those studies which contribute to the war program. Mathematics, mechanical drawing, and science classes were crowd- ed. Civics and history students were alert to the progress of the war and discussed problems ofthe future-compulsory military education, our relationship with Russia, and world politics. Physical fitness continued to be important, and health and safety classes taught us the good care of the body and wholesome health habits.
