' A tis ' QL J r v If POREWORD I ll . is Zi ITH the year nmeteen hundred twenty-one came the yi f L' . . . r 1 YZQA first 1ssue of the yearbook. Since then nme others , A have been successfully edited, each showing a marked 3 K 'E Us KJ superiority over its predecessor, and each being the I ' prized possession of thousands of our alumni. In its earlier years ' the TOTEM was just an ordinary school annual, but today it is ' r known as one of the tmest yearbooks east of the Mississippi. It v has not onl won state-wide distinction for several ears but has 3' i i Y Y ' also received high honors in the National Scholastic Press Asso- I9 ciation Contest. Wle credit the winning of these honors partly to ' the incor notation of a central theme and new arranffementg artl ' ' l a P 5 gl to the splendid cooperation of the various departmentsg and partly Q 1 . . . . ggi to the steadily increasing interest of the students. .QE 4 j 1 ' lm Gardens, the main theme, was chosen because of the new and 51913 different sources of interest it presented. This central idea, which I is one of beautv as well as of interest, has been anlied to all .1 . ll L I departments as much as possible. Q 9 It is the hope of the present TOTM Board that the Portland Q? High School Yearbook for 1931 will not only guard those laurels which it has already won, but that it will even add to them. It is our further hope that we have presented to the students a record of - 9' . . g qi the chief events and activities during the past year, together with - AQ . . 5' 'Q a tangible garden of memories to bring back those happy days of fl jg . .
