From the earliest little red school house with its one mas- ter who taught his pupils the 3 R's to the wonderfully equipped modern tem- ples of literature, science, and the arts with their expertly trained faculties of today, the aim of education to encour- age young minds to seek the truth has not changed. It is unthinkable that the present emergency will reveal any swerving from this steadfastness to a purpose. For in 1942, ,more than in any time during the last hundred years, the schools must strengthen the faith of their students--faith in the ideals of our country, faith in the rightness of our way of life, and above all, faith in what the future holds for them as citizens of a free, democratic nation. Since democracy itself depends upon the enlightenment of the common man and upon an educated and free public opinion, young people must develop the ability to think for themselves and to analyze their own opinions. Educa- tion is the stabilizing force which keeps youth poised and confident in the face of panic and disaster, secure in the knowledge that their well-trained minds and disciplined bodies will re- spond to whatever demands may be made upon them. TO AID in the all-out war effort of the country as well as to insure future security concerning earning a living, high schools are more and more en- larging their practical trade training courses. In many cases, the student is well fitted to go into the industrial world immediately upon being gradu- ated from high school without the ne- cessity of additional specialized train- ing in his chosen field. Through various extra-curricular ac- tivities, students come into close con- tact with different types of individuals. Such associations force young people to adapt themselves to other personal- ities, and thus they learn the import- ance of give and take, compromise, and fair play. Initiative, originality, and all the qualities of leadership are given a chance to develop in real life situations. Thus, American schools are serving in this time of turmoil as a beacon which will guide young minds from the darkness into a better world. Instead of the arts of war so emphasized, by the totalitarian states, we in America are striving to preserve the blessings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap- piness to ourselves and to our poster- ity. This philosophy is the tool with which the citizens of tomorrow are to build the lasting peace. lgorffancl Schoof penn ifa loom fo fhe ommunifg THE era when a school building was used merely by its students seven hours a day is pastg now it is the center of many activities for the entire com- munity. On Tuesday nights an agriculture class for adults meets with Mr. Paul Macklin to discuss farm production problems arising from the present emergency, and on Monday nights a group of older youths continue their work begun as students in the Vo-Ag department. During the summer, sew- ing for the Red Cross was done in the building, while last fall a First Aid class VH was held there. Until the fire, Portland business men were welcome in the high school gymnasium for recreation every Monday night. For twelve weeks this spring, every Tuesday and Thurs- day nights, the doors opened to men and women who studied 'tDrafting and Time and Motion under the super- vision of Mr. Homer Smith and Mr. Harry Scott of Dunkirk as a part of a Purdue Defense Training Course. Through the doors of Portland High School come not only boys and girls but grown-ups as well, to equip themselves further for better living in 1942. WA jAing:i e .gimbealf COMING back from summer vacation, students of Portland High School were delighted to find a completely renovated building with gleaming walls and spotless ceilings. To accommodate the installation of new metal working machinery, a separate shop, known as the Annex. had been built near the southwest corner of the building proper. The former shop room, redecorated, be- came a convenient music room. For the first time in its life, the library oc- cupied quarters of its own. Now con- nected to the study hall by a door, the two northeast corner rooms were trans- formed into attractive and inviting reading rooms. Downstairs, rooms 5 and 3, formerly used as English class rooms by Miss White and Mr. Farris, Mechanical drawing interests the McLaughlin tvuns, Lloyd and Lowell, who defy distinction cvcn by the closest observers. now were occupied by the commercial department. The first trigonometry class since 1936 was organized. Practical application of mathematical principles included figur- ing the arc of the South Meridian Street Bridge and calculating the dis- tance between Honolulu and the Philip- pines. A sociology class tabulated the re- sults of I. Q. tests made upon them- selves, and found a few geniuses , sev- eral superiors and many 'fnormalsf' Junior English classes published an Easter edition of the Megaphone With the increase of the present emergency. history and civics classes developed renewed interest in the fast moving current events which made each day's happenings almost ancient history within twenty-four hours. When war was declared, classes were dismissed in order that all students might hear the broadcast. Toward the end of the year, visits also were made to several county offices. As a climax to their study of foods, freshman foods classes served a series of dinners to faculty members and the school board. The art-in-the-home class, In freshman cooking class, Wanda Gamester and Margaret Landon test the biscuits they have baked. ss Q9 is while studying furniture and antiques, visited the Quality Furniture Store and the Hoosier Gift Shoppe. In March the entire home economics department served the Teachers Association ban- quet. With the freshman foods classes, Mr. Macklinls health class attended the re- opening of the Schatz Bakery. A very interesting trip was taken to the Epilep- tic Village at New Castle last fall by Miss lVIcCarty's health class. 5 'Wits Joy Arn, James Roush, and Jackie Arn discuss General MacArthur's defense of Bataan as Miss Current conducts a history class.

Many agriculture students took an active part in the County Corn Husk- ing Contest and attended the Purdue Swine and Field Crop Day. Last sum- mer the vocational agriculture class planted one thousand trees and shrubs. Indeed, learning by class room dis- cussion was augmented by practical projects. Students of Portland High School learned from books, but they also learned from actual experience in real life. 4Uppur loft?

S. in 1942 followed much the same pattern as in previous years. Organization dances and parties, class plays, games, and club meetings claimed their usual attention. Between classes, corridors resounded with friend- ly, animated conversation. Topics rang- ed from the latest bomber sunk to the most recent crush around school. In February, sponsored by the Psi Iota Xi Sorority, .members of the music department attended a concert by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra at the Murat Theatre with Fabian Se- vitszky conducting. The senior English class also went to Indianapolis in April to see a performance by Maurice Evans and Judith Anderson, in Macbeth, which they had studied in detail the semester before. The Latin classes took time out to attend a Latin convention at Muncie, sponsored by Ball State Teachers College and the Junior Clas- sical League. But much energy formerly devoted to jam sessions, coking,', and just plain loafing now found outlet in more worth- while and serious civic and defense projects. During the first semester, a six-weeks first aid course was given by Red Cross instructors with special at- tention paid to safety problems arising from wartime emergency. On comple- tion of the work, certificates were awarded the participants. In January when the defense stamp program was put into effect, student response was prompt and Wholehearted. A large map showing the distribution of boys from Jay County in the armed forces was made by two junior boys. Clerical work such as filing, recording, copying, etc., was done at Red Cross headquarters by several high school girls, while many did knitting and sew- ing as a matter of regular routine.

Because of the many new and difficult problems faced by the schools in these trying times, Portland is fortunate to have such an able school board to guide the educational policies of the community. Everywhere, skilled work is being stressed more and more each day. While the schools of Portland are playing an important part in the teaching of crafts, at the same time classical and cultural back- grounds are not being neglected. A well rounded individual is still the aim of secondary education. Despite two unfortunate mishaps this year-the fire at the high school and the one at the Garfield building-the school city of Portland is in a sound financial condition. Prompt and efficient handling of all problems affecting the schools is due largely to the capable management of the School Board. -12-. ' Y .. ,-v. ,.. 1- -' . M ':- Q' ' 1 D. S. Weller Harold Brubaker NO DISTANT leader set apart from young people, Mr. D. S. Weller, though Superintendent now for two years, is still the student's friend as he was in his days as Principal, still in- terested, understanding, and sympa- thetic with the adolescent point of view. As an administrator he has kept Port- land schools running smoothly and well, over-seeing and supervising, yet never dictating nor demanding. Under his guidance and enriched with his breadth of mind, the city schools are fulfilling the aim of educational institutions in a free land-that of training youth to be useful and intelligent citizens. IN HIS second year as Principal of Port- land High School, Mr. Harold Bru- baker has achieved a place of real af- fection in the hearts of the students. Serious in demeanor, Mr. Brubaker constantly has his finger on the pulse of the school, recognizing its needs and endeavoring to fulfill them. Students respect him and have confidence in him. They have learned to watch for his sud- den smile. They feel that he appreciates their problems and is trying to help them. Under his control, Portland High School has continued to be a vital and important force in the lives of Portland youth. gfhcienf '35 .xdolminiafrafion ibirecfa 3cAooZ5 li ..13-. 37101061 GHC!

Some have been members of the teaching staff for several years, while others are be- ginning their professional careers here. NEW home economics teacher this year was Adabelle Mangas, a 1941 grad- uate of Ball State Teachers College. During Christmas vacation, Miss Man- gas was married to Mr. George Hill of Northwestern University. In February, Louise Jameson, vocal music supervisor, was married to Mr. William Reid, whom high school students recognize as the county attendance officer. ALSO new to Portland High School in 1941-42 was Robert Jones from Yankton College, Yankton, South Da- kota, first instructor of instrumental music in the history of the schools.

As Freshmen, 117 in number, they were lighthearted and carefree, full of eagerness and enthusiasm for school life. Events outside P. H. S. were of no con- sequence. Their second year found them enter- ing into school life with continued zest and fervor. Blitzkrieg was a new word in their vocabulary, and it had an ominous ring-for the armies of Hitler were on the march. But that was a thousand miles away. Right here at home the Portland Panthers were Sectional Tournament winners, and one hundred Sophomores added their lusty cheers to those of other hundreds of loyal fans. Class elections in the fall of 1940 fPresident, William Smith, Vice-pres- ident, Dale Reitenour, and Secretary- Treasurer, Bonnie Lakej made the Ju- niors, now 88 in number, suddenly con- scious of their responsibilities as upper- classmen. They missed their old friend, Mr. D. S. Weller, but gave their whole- hearted support to the new principal, Mr. Harold Brubaker. On the exterior, judging by the attention given to clothes, shows, dates, and such, they were much the same, but underneath, there was an awareness of world events -deep consternation over the fates of Norvmw, the Low Countries, and France, and a strange feeling of unreality as Congress debated Lend-Lease aid to England and Selective Service in our own United States. Classrooms became centers of thoughtfulnand purposeful discussions. at . Huge fringed scarfs, tall rubber boots, official Senior tan corduroy skirts and trousers, and squeaky huaraches were only a few of the evidences that the 72 Seniors of '42 were entering their last year, a momentous year usually jammed with thrills-class rings, name cards, Typhoon work, play, Senior Week, and finally, Commencement. Of- ficers chosen to lead the class were President, Tunis Bond, Jr., Vice-Pres- ident, Robert Holmes, and Secretary- Treasurer, Alice Weller. Then came Pearl Harbor and the declaration of war. Everything was changed. Little things like the coke shortage, war time, and tire and sugar rationing were taken in their stride, while big things like Red Cross, Defense Bonds, and enlistment became the order of the day. lt was a stirring year and the grad- uates of '42 realized with deep emo- tion that on them, the young citizens of the United States, would rest the destiny of their land. They could not see into the future, but come what may, theirs was a glorious heritage, one to be proud of, and they would be true to it.

John Glasgow made a capable President, and Richard Taylor as Vice- President and Pat Badders as Secretary-Treas- urer were competent assistants in all questions of executive nature. First event of importance was the class play, presented on November 26 to an enthusiastic audience. Besides the stars before the footlights fwho are pictured on page 361 there were heroes and heroines back stage-Donna Erlet and Shirley Petsche who carried on their shoulders the re- sponsibilities of property manager and promp- ter, John Glasgow who superintended the con- structing and painting of original scenery, and Pal Holloway and Richard Taylor who directed lighting effects and curtain pulling. Junior Day at assembly was a great success with class yell leaders and an original skit. Stellar athletes of the class included Jimmie Roush, Mar- vin Becker, Bob Ford, Jack Frakes, and Keith Leggett. Helen Flauding could always be found at the piano, often sounding the a for such musicians as Stanley Klopfenstein, Leon Gagle, and Bud Smith. Margaret Current, first Junior president of Girl Reserves for many years, guided her group through a strenuous year, ably as- sisted by such committee workers as Joan Brady, Pat Ayres, and Betty Hoppes. Pat Badders was a popular yell leader. President of G. A. A. was Betty Garringer. Active Vo-Ag's were Carl Glassford and Paul May, and Hi-Y members included Bill Schoenlein and Richard Taylor. Betty Hoppes was an all A student, while Merlyn Bailey, Margaret Current, and Donna Erlet each made three A's, and James Browne, Shirley Petsche, and Elsie Sanders had two. Final and greatest project of the class was the traditional reception and dance given for all graduating Seniors at the opening of Senior Week. In the newly repaired gymnasium, gala that eve- ning with crepe paper and flowers, students and faculty mingled gayly together, and many a boy and girl made memories of their school days at P. H. S.

H. S. High scholastic records were maintained by many of the class with Mary Garrison and Opal Smith having all A's, Donald Harmon, Richard Hummer, Marlyn Marsh, Ethelyn Norris, James Pendry, Pat Richer, and Wanda Whipple each having two A's the first semester. Marjorie Hisey served as G. R. vice-president. Others prominent in G. R. were Marlyn Marsh, Sally Sue Smith, and Martha Nell Lare, Active Hi-Y members were Richard Hummer and Jim- mie Valentine. Musical activities interested Vir- ginia Aper, Betty McKinley, Shirley Walmer, Georgia Rivers, and Marjorie Griesinger. Many G. A. A. officers and sportheads were Sophomores: Edna Loy, Wanda Whipple, Betty McKinley, Pat Richer, and Elsie Sanders. Peppy Peggy Ed- wards, new this year from Aurora, Indiana, served as one of the yell leaders. Always interested in social affairs were Gloria Ann Brown, Betty Friddle, Virginia Noll, and Bernadean Dyson. Carl Funk, Lowell Smith, Thomas Ankrom, Ernest Funk, Calvin Loy, Harvey Peden, Dale Noble, Jack Study, Kelley Dixon, Dorsey Boise, David Smithson, Virgil Valentine, James Peterson, and Virgil Shreeve took part in Vo-Ag. One of the Sophomores, Edwin Friend, left to join the United States Navy. Sophomores found a place in the sports at P. H. S. Gilbert Boozier, Jay King, Richard Hum- mer, Richard Haviland, Robert Freed, and Carl Nelson, all turned out for football practice. James Peterson, James Valentine, James Pendry, Robert Mayo, and Max McCrory made the second team basketball squad. Chief characteristic of the Sophomores seem to be enthusiasm-whatever they do, they do with all their might and main. -27- - 1 T' L jfeafilflell GILJ JgeaI'6 omlaode afge l'0ulf7 ONE of the largest groups of Freshmen 11483 ever to enter Portland High School introduced themselves to the student body and faculty this year. Instead of the traditional attitude of in- feriority usually worn by beginners, they seemed to feel at home and to know their way around right from the start. Girls as a matter of course joined the Girl Reserves, while musicians filtered naturally into band and orchestra. Farm boys automatically took up work in Vo-Ag. Even such new subjects as Latin and algebra held no terrors for this group, for their scholarship, while not remarkably high, was at least average. Betty McCormick, Joanna Wrightsman, and Beverly McCrory led the group with Elizabeth Myers, Robert Disher, Nilda Jean George, and Betty Delauter close behind. The class has made a creditable beginning, future years should show development and improvement.

WITH Miss McCarty, Mrs. Reid, and Mrs. Gibble as faculty sponsors, the Girl Reserves completed an unusually successful year. The membership driver was opened with a hobo party given for all high school girls, and a Hallowe'en dance highlighted the fall social season. A kid party was given to entertain poor children of the city, while at the an- nual Christmas party, a defense bond was purchased by the club. In March impressive formal recognition services were held at the Presbyterian Church. A penny supper netted approximately fifty dollars for the treasury, and the annual Mother and Daughter banquet closed the activities of the year. Throughout the school year, G. R. girls tirelessly knitted and sewed for the Red Cross, and helped evenings af- ter school with office work at Red Cross headquarters. Regular meetings of the club were well attended because of interesting talks given by guest speakers. Mrs. M. H. Chaney and Mrs. C. O. Brown served as mother sponsors and Miss Alberta Brewster represented the B. P. W. Club. A' y5 .jvlang jug! MAIN project of the Hi-Y Club this year was the presentation of beauti- ful. American flags which they hung in the study hall and in each class room. A cash sum was donated to the Red Cross and as always baskets of food were given to needy families at Christ- mas time. Officers for the year 1941-1942 were William Smith, President, Paul Mc- Crory, Vice-President, John Glasgow, Secretary, and Warren Groman, Ser- geant-at-Arms. Mr. Settle was elected faculty adviser. Wednesday evening meetings often included a program, a speaker, refreshments of hot dogs and coke, and basketball. As the only social organization for boys in the high school, the Hi-Y has been very popular for many years. With its slogan, Clean Speech, Clean Sports, and Clean Living, it is doing its part to help make good citizens of to- morrow, and through its connection with Y. M. C. A., it has done much to create, maintain and extend throughout the school- and community high standards of Christian character? opafin .fdffenf CON- LFE!!

This year, as before, members par- ticipated in live stock shows and judg- ing contests, and entertained their fa- thers at a banquet in December. Successful financial venture of the club was the installation of a juice machine in the west end of the cor- ridor.

Gfizen5Ai,J BY dedicating their book to the t'Cit- izens of Tomorrow, the members of the 1942 TYPHOON StafT have endeav- ored to express what their country means to them and to portray in pic- tures and words the part Portland High School is playing in the development of intelligent, loyal, liberty-loving eit- izens. When the first bombs were dropped on Pearl Harbor, the TYPHOON was well under way. Mary Lou Brewster had sorted individual pictures into classes, and Bill Thomas was taking snaps. While Pat Beard mounted senior pictures, Richard Ashton was covering all sports events. Later, after the fire made the use of the gym impossible, Margaret Alberson planned activity pictures to be taken in the Armory, and Helen Wilson, besides marking each special event down on her calendar, used her originality to write clever feature copy. A blitzkrieg hit Portland when the TYPHOON sales drive got under way, for every maneuver of LaVaughn Stout, Business Manager, and Bill Smith, Sales Manager, brought in more and more subscriptions. The month of March saw copy coming in in great gobs, to be edited and re- vised by Editor-in-Chief Rosemary Minch and typed by Rosemary Orr. At last, Mrs. Stevenson could settle back with a sigh of relief, for she had guided another staff safely through to the suc- cessful publication of the year book.

The group played for the senior Christmas program, various ath- letic events, and the Armistice Day pro- gram. Ten selected members played at one of the regular Kiwanis Club meet- ings, and also for the sheepfeeders ban- quet at Blaine.

Ol'CAe6fl'a Skowa .9h:l.Pl'0UeWl0ll-f ALSO under the direction of Mr. Jones, the orchestra has greatly enlarged and improved. Its twenty-two members played for the Junior and Senior plays and also Commencement Exercises. A concert for both band and orchestra marked the reopening of the auditorium in May. Officers elected for the year were Junior Bond, President, Wendell Klopf- enstein, Vice-President, and Marjorie Griesinger, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Jones, the first musical director that Portland has ever had for instru- mental music alone, came from Angola where he was the county instrumental supervisor. As a means of furthering the interest of students in band and orchestra, he is giving class lessons as a regular part of his schedule in the grades as well as in the junior and senior high schools. uniora prooluce UNDER Miss Current's able sponsor- ship, the Junior Class produced Once in a Lifetime, a play with enchanting gypsy settings and costumes, and lilting music and dancing. The plot centers about Konrad Ross ubicaf pfay fWendell Klopfensteinj, adopted son of Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Ross fBud Smith and Margaret Currentj. Konrad, who is really a gypsy, leaves his parents to go to a gypsy camp and live with his people. After many adventures and amusing situations, all ends well.

Each a leader in his sport, all three men are greatly admired by the entire student body as well as by their teams. It is the aim of each to teach by example the qualities of physical fitness, courage, self-control, and fair play which he expects his boys to develop. pAy5icaf gducafion a ufa! gzzmenf R IN one of his radio addresses to the nation after Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt said forcefully that good health is the patriotic duty of every citizen. The physical education program of Portland High School is planned to help each student keep himself in the best physical condition possible. Girls under the direction of Jeanne McCarty fshown in G. A. A. picture, page 493 and boys under the direction of Paul Todd, meeting two hours each week for two years, are taught the importance of good posture, of exercise, of well-balanced meals, and of the proper distribution of work, play, and sleep among the twenty-four hours of a day. Floor work and games give each student physical activities especially beneficial to grow- ing bodies. Not the least among the valuable by-products of physical education is the practice it gives boys and girls in organized play, they learn to get along together, to co-operate with one another, and to sacrifice personal gain for the good of the group. -49- gkeerdanhng Gommiffee THE Cheer Leading Committee, which was organized three years ago for the purpose of selecting cheer leaders and planning pep sessions, is composed of representatives from the student body and faculty selected by the Prin- cipal. This year Margaret Alberson served as chairman. From a wealth of talent, Pat Badders, Peggy Edwards, and Junior Bond were chosen as cheer leaders. The threesome were heartily accepted by the student body and worked with the Cheer Lead- ing Committee in planning all pep ses- sions. Although the committee was more or promofea gsoocl .S?9orf5man5Aip less hampered by the gymnasium fire, a few projects were completed. The traditional class days were held with three representatives from each of the four classes acting as cheer leaders. Plans for a faculty day, which would be similar to the class days, had to be dropped. Since the auditorium could not be us-ed, a pep session was held in front of the school just before the Sec- tional Tourney. The aim of the Cheer Leading Com- mittee has always been the encourage- ment of better sportsmanship among the students and fans at all athletic events.

In taking a look at the season's record which shows not a single victory for the Portland team, it must be remem- bered that the opposition the locals were up against in the majority of the cases was very good. With the possible exception of Decatur and Bluffton, prac- tically every other team that Portland played had a good year. For instance there was Knightstown with an unde- feated season, excluding one tie. Gar- rett, Columbia City, Coldwater, and Richmond also put out teams that were formidable foes. Portland played its best game against Coldwater, building up a 7-0 lead in the first half but falling in the final two quarters before the charging Ohioans, to lose out by a 20-7 count. The first half lead that Portland enjoyed was the one and only time Portland was ahead during the season. One of the features of the entire season came in this game when Valentine, sparkling Panther backfield man, recovered a Portland fumble on the opening kick-off and returned the kick 40 yards before he was downed. The Panthers lost by only six points to Decatur but were soundly trounced by Bluffton, Richmond, and Knights- town. This year's team was a hard-working club but just lacked the experience necessary to make them a winner. Reitenour, the only veteran from last year's team, played a bang-up game in almost every contest. The Portland lineup, at the beginning of most games, found Groman, Mayo, Thomas, Schoenlein, Gillum, Wallis- check, and Smith on the line, with Val- entine, McCrory, Nelson, and Reitenour in the backfield. Substitutes who filled in very nicely were Parkison, Grimm, Frakes, Atha, Lacey, and Hilgeman. Thirteen boys were awarded letters at the close of the season. The second team won two games and lost two, and it is hoped that the ex- perience which they have gained will prove beneficial in molding a stronger team for next year. Although five let- termen will return, the prospect is for another light team. .-42-.

Like the football team, they were inexperienced and severely handicapped by lack of sufiicient height to cope with most of their taller opponents. The Panthers split even in their first four games, winning from Bluffton and Ft. Recovery, but losing to Decatur and Union City. Then came a seven-game losing streak, suffered at the hands of some of the best teams in eastern Indi- ana, which was broken only by victories over Poling and Gray in the county tournament. Portland lost a regular football battle to the Winchester Yel- low Jackets their next game out, and were walloped by Ft. Recovery and Union City in return games before they once again entered the victory column with a last-second thrilling victory over Madison. The Panthers fell victim to uncanny one-handed shooting by Mont- pelier and, although they played one of their best games of the year, lost to the Pacers by seven points in a game n-.mama BASKETBALL SQUAD Top Row: Marvin Beck- er, Paul McCrory, War- ren Groman, Richard Taylor, Robert Ford.

Coach Todd's team had Ridgeville beaten at the half but fal- tered in the final two periods to lose. Redkey was beaten in the final game of the year by a single point. The Panthers participated in three tournaments during the year. They lost to the Dunkirk Speedcats, 32-23, in their opening game of the New Year's Day Invitational Tournament at Dun- kirk. The Toddmen advanced to the finals of their own County Tournament before losing to Pennville, 31-23, in the championship game, and were elimi- nated by this same Pennville team in the second round of the District Sec- tional Tournament at Hartford City in March by a 36-27 score. This year's team was a hard-working club, and at times played championship basketball. With an abundant crop of promising freshmen and sophomores on hand for next year, plus the fact that six lettermen from this year's team will return for another season of activity, Portland should have a much brighter season in 1943. all . 1 'Sl' g.,,i.,f4.,f Jt,m,it Portland 'bvl Decatur VAIAIWI H23 of the happinlnglsi of tgelbasklit- a season o - wi ong e Portland A 4 Bhimon .

The Panthers chalked up eleven victories in thirteen starts, losing only to Hartford City and Ft. Recovery, both by only one run. The Panthers of 1941 were well-sup- plied in pitching talent. Paul McCrory shone very bright as the star of the Panthers' mound corps and came through with many stellar pitching per- terful one-hit gameg but Portland lost, 1-0. Portland has produced a remarkable baseball record in recent years. Dur- ing the five year span from 1937 to and including 1941, the Panthers have scored fifty-two triumphs in fifty-eight starts, which is a record any school might be proud of. The record: BASEBALL SQUAD formances. McCrory was ably assisted on the mound by George Starr.

On January 27, tire swept the gym- nasium of Portland lligh School and damaged the building to the amount ot' 3425.000 Jesse Callahan, janitor. made the discovery when he arrived early in the morning and found the gym a roar- ing inferno. Confined to the south part of the building by the huge gym doors. flames burned much of the floor, dam- aged the ceiling and skylight. and de- stroyed completely the cabinets and entry way to the new shower rooms at the west end of the gymnasium. llcre shown is a portion of a large crack in the southernmost end of the west wall which indicates how extensive was the damage to the building. Caused by the intense heat, this and other cracks so weakened the west wall of the build- ing that it was declared unsafe. Audi- torium, gymnasium, and rooms on the west corridor remained closed until re- pairs were completed in May. tAt right! Crisscrossed railroad ties were used as a brace in the basement to jack up the temporary beams in the gymnasium. William Bechdolt. janitor, is examining them. The morning of the fire found Joe Miller, volunteer fireman, D. S. Weller, Superintendent of City Schools, and Guy Dollins, fire chief tbehind Mr. Wellerl, viewing the damage done to the doors at the front of the gym. To the right are Meredith Sanders, contract- or, Frank Green, insurance agent. and Paul Todd, basketball coach at P. H. S. The west end of the gym suffered the worst et'l'ects of the blaze. Harold Bru- baker, Principal, is discussing with Jesse Callahan, janitor, the wiring that was damaged and debris that was piled here and there. Shown are the huge oak beams which were erected immediately to sup- port tlie weakened wall. Reconstruction and repairs were be- gun at once, and plans for the Senior Play and closing exercises went Iorward in the hope that all would be completed and opened by the tirst of May.

Read intelligently edited newspapers and listen to the best radio commentators to become informed through these unbiased sources on what is happening in the world each day. Become familiar with all methods of propaganda so that you will not fall into one of its traps. As a citizen of tomorrow, prepare today for the post- war world that is sure to come. CONTINUE YOUR STUDIES Even though there is a chance that you may be called into the armed forces or into defense industries, don't let that interfere with your studies. Keep on with your education. Every branch of service needs well trained minds to carry on its important work. On the farm, in the office, at the fac- tory or the mill, a liberal education is essential. No matter where, every cit- izen can do his share today. CO-OPERATE IN CIVILIAN DEFENSE You who stay at home also have an active part to play in the war emer- gency. An army of people is needed for home defense. Air-raid Wardens, nursing aids, blood donors, Red Cross workers, and many other services are open to those at home. No matter your age, your abilities, or your situation, all alert students can co-operate in the local war effort. PROMOTE STAMP AND BOND DRIVES In spite of the Treasury Department's campaign for the sale of Defense Sav- ings Bonds and Stamps, more and yet more Bonds and Stamps must be sold. Students through your clubs and or- ganizations can help in the sales drive by giving Bonds and Stamps plenty of publicity. Aid in the selling, and buy them from your school. CONSERVE, SALVAGE VITAL MATERIALS Conservation of all vital war ma- terials is a necessity. It is up to you to see that everything is salvaged around your home. Donate all your salvaged material to one of the organ- ized drivestsponsored by the Salvation Army, Red Cross, or Boy Scouts. Better still, organize a drive in your school and urge everybody to participate. Waste paper, old rags, rubber, and scrap metal may not mean anything to you, but they may be the means of winning an important battle. SEND GIFTS TO SERVICE MEN In any war, the morale of fighting men is very important. You can help strengthen it by sending gifts, anything from razor blades to home made pastries, to your alumni now in the armed forces. These, with a cheery note telling what you are doing back home, are inexpensive, but to the fellow away from home they're worth a for- tune. . 5 -.F enior jeafurea THOUGHTS OF GRADUATING Our sun has set, our day is done, Our carefree life is through. We've studied hard, we've had our fun- We now must start anew. Tomorrow brings another dawn, The sun will rise once rmoreg Our fleeting fears will soon be gone, The world is at our door. The door is wide, the world still free, And life is yet worth whileg It lies in wait for you and me, To conquer, mile by mile. To conquer, ere you conquered be, The Golden Rule raise high, Then take your stand that all may see Your banner in the sky. First chart your course, then to it hold With steady hand and eyeg And sail Life's sea with courage bold, Your motto Do or Die. -Jean Orr Scenes from Life at P. H.
