' 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-.

-ggwv l 1 William Parks Edna Saxman Donald Hanimitt THE Board of Education, composed of Mr. Donald Hammitt, Presidentg Mr. William Parks, Sec- retaryg and Mrs. Emmett Saxman, Treasurerg is a competent and active group. 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-.

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.
