CAM' ommiffee This new committee, which is functioning this year for the first time, had as its two-fold purpose to select the yell leaders and to plan the pep sessions preceding the various athletic contests. Representatives from the four classes and the faculty served throughout the year with Patricia Burg- ess as chairman. , To vary the usual Friday morning pep sessions, some really clever skits, talks, and various other new stunts were added to the program of yells and songs. A contest to provide the school with some new yells and songs was sponsored and also transportation to out-of-town games was provided at a small cost to the students. . U, The school appreciates this committee The Vocational-Agricultural students form the Vo-Ag club of our school. This year their officers were Peter Metz, President, Clarence Glassford, Vice- President, George Starr, Secretary, and Sponsor, Mr. Macklin. The annual Corn Husking Contest was won by George Caster, with his brother, James, close on his heels. These two boys went to the District Contest, where they placed fourth and sixth. To make money for the purchase and distribution of purebred gilts for better hog raising in the county, the club presented Jack's Xylophone Band, and re- alized a nice sum. The annual Pest Contest was won by Lawrence Sanders, placing first, and Paul Nelson, placing second. - 9 's fine work.

Orckefs fra Despite the fact that it has had three separate leaders since the first of the year, the Portland High School orchestra has carried on remarkably Well. Mrs. Sherry resigned and was replaced by Mrs. Walker, who finished the first semester. Miss Jamison came to us from Pennville at the beginning of the second semester. These officers were elected: Evvald Bash CPresidentD, Paul Gagle CVice-Presidentb, and Betty Alexander CSecretary-Treasurerj Among the public appearances of the orchestra this year were the Junior play, Senior play, Com- mencement exercises, Girl Reserve Devotional, Girl Reserve Musical, Father and Son Banquet, and the Spring Concert. Under the leadership of Mr. George McDonald of Redkey, director of the American Legion Band and instructor of band instruments, the Portland High School Band reorganized this year and put forth a great deal of effort to improve their playing and marching. The thirty-two members, dressed in White slacks and shirts, black ties, and purple capes and caps looked very flashy as they played at pep sessions home games, snake dances, and community parades gall
