Superlafives Best Athlete-As for the world of sport, three-letter man Charlie Bennett had hardly a competitor as he went way out in front to win the title of Portland High's outstanding athlete. The girl who stole that title from the ladies is none other than Millie McFarland, while Jan- ice Copeland was not at all forgotten in the polling. Most Sophisticated-The usophisticatel' title was pretty well disputed this year, hut Chloe Presnell and Joe O,Donnell came through with a mysterious smile and sly winlc to put Reta Lawry and Glen Powers into a very close second place. Dot Brown and Les Buhier had.a few fans here and there, but their 'isavoir faire was not quite high enough to put them up front. Most Valuable-Those quiet ways cer- tainly seem to pay dividends in the long run, for here are Charlie Maria, our valedictorian, and Best Citizen Dorothy Adams heading the list of those to whom we point with pride. Also, it loolcs as if Merlyn Tarr and Gloria De Lillo have pretty good references for the job, while Charlie Bennett and Herb Billett would most certainly be considered valuable assets in any school! Most Collegiate-The class of 1945 had very definite ideas on this one, and they were Margie Garland and Art joe College Negrini. Margie was way out in front with Dot Adams as her only competitor. Art had a harder time of it, for Charlie I gotta dance Tolford is considered a pretty sharp character. Art, however, pulled through hy one jacket, three ties, and those lovely yellow socks!
