Officers of the Class of 1950 were Reva Jean Renner, Secretary-Treasun erg Richard Jones, Vice-President: Mrs. Gordon Crowe, Sponsorg and Ckneel- ingl Everett May Jr., President. Seniors Being a Senior was really something, and all of us eagerly awaited the climax of our year-the traditional Senior week. It opened with Class Day program on Thursday afternoon, May 18. All of us excitedly took our places in the front rows for the last time. We laughed as the class history, the will, and the prophecy were read, and thrilled with pride when the honors and awards were announced. On Friday night we attended the Junior-Senior Reception in the gaily decorated gym. After a lovely meal, clever toasts, and friendly conversa- tion, we danced to the music of Sall Baters orchestra. It was something to remember. Then, on Sunday evening, May 21, Baccalaureate services were held at the Methodist Church. The R.ev. Marshall N. Weaver delivered the sermon and the P.H.S. robed choir furnished impressive music. At last came Commencement, on Thursday evening, May 25. We donned our gray caps and gowns and took our places on the stage. After the band had played a group of numbers, Everett May Jr., Class President, spoke for the Class of 1950. Supt. D. S. Weller introduced the speaker of the evening, Dr. Robert LaFollette of Ball State Teachers College. After his address, Prin. Harold S. Brubaker presented each one of us with the coveted diploma, and before we knew it the shifting of our tassels proclaim- ed us graduates of Portland High School. Not present at Commencement but receiving their diplomas through special examinations by the United States Armed Forces Institute were Raymon Feierstein, Robert L. Stults, and Frank E. Wilt.
