PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL REVIEW Il MESSAGE OF THE SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT ' Nathan Allen Cobb As we of the Senior Class are gathered with the rest of the student body in this assembly hall, we feel somewhat saddened as we realize that it is for the last time. We shall go through life immeasurably aided by our work here and we shall always retain fond memories of our four years at Portland High School. The graduating class is the first to have had the advantages of four years in this wonderful new building. We wish to express our appreciation of this priv- ilege to all who have been connected with the great task of procuring it for us, and especially to our former principal, lVlr. Jack. Now, as our superintendent, may he continue to be associated for many years with the schools of Portland. Mr. Jack has worked hard and faithfully to gain for this school the high reputa- tion it now holds. Not a little of this success has been due to our able and efficient teachers, and now this school stands as the conception of their ideals. But if this school is to remain in its high position and is to continue in its progress, the student body itself has certain duties and responsibilities which cannot be overlooked. The first of these is loyalty to Mr. Lowe, who is ably filling the responsible position left vacant by Mr. Jack. Every student of Portland, from the smallest freshman to the most dignified post graduate, should co-operate with lVIr. Lowe. Another duty is support of the different activities. I cannot emphasize too much the importance of taking part in at least one of the school's organizations. If a student is fond of sports, he can surely find, among the many, one that will interest him and in which he may become proficient. Or, if his capabilities lie along literary or musical lines, he can join one of those organizations. But, on the other hand, while I feel that the sports and activities form an important part of school life, the student body must not let these, with their outside interests, interfere with the most important side, the business of studying. There are so many sports, so many activities, so much to do in the afternoon, so much to do in the evening, that it is very easy to forget the duty we owe to our school. Study is the backbone of a schoolg with it, properly associated with the allied interests of school life, Portland High School will keep up her high standard of education and will continue to send forth all-round men and women equipped for the responsibilities of life.
