O 0 O I O O l highlights In print. The organizations Portland's spirit's never dead, and this year the Spirit was certainly alive all right. The editorial staff sponsored by Miss White and the production staff under the direction of Mrs. Gibble published all the news around school in attractive six-page papers every three weeks. There were special editions for St. Patrick's Day and Easter, and the red and green Christmas issue was especially popular. Several new features were added this year, including the Hall of Fame and Hi PH5ers columns. Anita Edwards, Myra Jane Freeman, Suzanne Abramson, and Mrs. Gibble put into their work some of the ideas they received from the iournalism work- shop which they attended at Ohio University last summer. This workshop was particularly helpful in giving new lay-out ideas, suitable school news topics, and columns. , Q W ,. , . ,, l -sw' . , .. . C1 , A , .

l while yearbook and news staffs captured its Each year the Typhoon Staff tries to publish an improved yearbook for the students of PHS. Traditionally sponsored by the senior class, the proiect has for the last few years included juniors and sophomores as assistants on the various staff positions. Several students gained experience and new ideas by attending the iournalism workshop at Ohio University last summer. Soon after, the layout was drawn and definite work on the book began. The editorial staff, under Jon Stroble, spent many activity periods, study halls, and long hours at night collecting the pictures and writing the story of the year. The selling and distribution of the five hundred books were handled by a business staff headed by Mary Lou Zimmerman. Now the iob is completed. And what is Mrs. Stevenson doing? Why, starting on next year's book, of course!

Regular meet- ings were held every two weeks. Mr. Goshert acted as sponsor. Spencer Whittington and Jon Stroble represented the local Hi-Y Club at the state training camp at Delphi, Indiana, last July. After their return, plans were made for the programs and meetings of the year. Movies were shown at several meetings, and two special meetings were held, one in the fall for the fifteen new members and another in the spring for the seniors. A league composed of seven teams from the sixty members played basketball, and a picked team met the faculty in their annual contest with the Hi-Y. This year the faculty All Stars squeezed an over- time win, defeating the Hi-Y Hotfooters by a 5l-50 score. Hi-Y letters were awarded to Mike Antles, Max Grady, Bob Kennedy, Bill Linder, Jon Stroble, Alex Wasmuth, and Spencer Whittington. Mr. Goshert takes the tip from Bill Stevens.
