He made the ronor roll several times during his high school career. Ushering at the Hines Theater keeps him busy after school hours. His future will be in the clouds with the Army Air Corps. Jack L. Zerkel-Jack completed his work at the end of the Hrst semester so he got the jump on the rest of us by earning money with a full time job at Shell- er's. G. I. News WE were glad to welcome back several alumni of Portland High School who had been serving Uncle Sam for the last few years. Lewis Grimm, Verner Badger, and Harold Smith enrolled for a short time, and Robert Burk, Joseph Fox, and James Val- entine took a full year's post graduate course. These boys intend to go to college next year and were glad of the chance for a refresher course at their old school before undertaking college work. The United States Armed Forces Institute again issued high school diplomas by special examinations to G. I.'s whose high school education had been interrupted. The list of boys receiving diplomas in this manner Cas of April 1, 19471 were as follows: Vaughn Bailey, William Boxell, Leslie Feigel, Robert Haviland, Jack McLaughlin, John Frederick Muich, Calvin Roseberry, Eldon Sanders, Harvey Smith, and Frederick Wilkinson.
