But school isn’t just classes. It’s experience, too. Ambitious and energetic individuals have the opportunity to learn by doing. Students have the privilege to develop their abilities and to use their ideas. School is the smaller society which aids individuals to become an integral part of the larger society, the town, state, and world. The smaller society has organizations which need political and business leaders, has a paper and a journal which require writers and planners, and has need for singers, instrumentalists, and athletes. • Certainly, the individual is not neglected and he can assert himself. He learns by experience.

MUSIC That music is not neglected is certainly an understatement. Port’s band and chorus are well instructed. Our instructors believe in the fact that to make a good musician, you must begin teaching him when he is young. And the young are taught. We know—for the silence of many study halls is broken by a youngster playing the scale on his shrill instrument. And don’t we see Mrs. Nadal with her attendance roster rounding up the delinquents to attend choir practice. They learn to sing by singing—often. Our curriculum has been briefly outlined. But we must not forget the library, the place where much knowledge is available for the student who wishes to get it. A great aim of public school education is to make the student capable of self-education. And self-education begins in the library. ten Joe Studholmc Dona Tubbs Nancy Wennerstrom

School Isn't Just Classes. It's Experience Too. The Individual Is Not Neglected and Can Assert Himself. CLASS OFFICERS The gym doors opened and the happy couples swarmed out. The Junior Prom of the class of 1954 had been a huge success through the combined efforts of the Junior class and its president, Joe Studholme. What did the president do? Nothing much. He merely met with all the committees, supervised the entire project, and did all the odd jobs. Yes, being a good president is hard work. It’s more than just directing the prom, though. It’s the difference between a united and cooperative class and one of discord. A president must be chosen for his efficiency, popularity, leadership, and courtesy. In short, he must be a good example to his fellow students. Port High considers itself fortunate to have Jim McLaughlin as the Senior president, Joe Studholme as the Junior president, and Gerald Stayer as the Sophomore president.
