'QS' As we edit the twelfth copy of our yearbook, Portland is cele- 2' brating its Three Hundredth Anniversary, therefore, it seems most fitting that we should call to mind some of the milestones along the Eg way of progress. In 1623 Christopher Leavitt came to this country I from England and dreamed of the great city he would found. The dream failed of realization, and it remained for Cleeves and Tucker 53? to make a settlement here in 1632. Then followed turbulent days P. wg when French and Indian wars all but wiped out the little settle- l ment. These were followed by a short period of peace, until, in 1775, X the city was bombed by Mowatt and destroyed. Again came a period of growth, and 1807 saw the construction of the Observatory from whose lookout in 1813 eager eyes witnessed the arrival in port if of the Boxer and the Enterprirf. This period also witnessed the visit of General Lafayette to Portland in 1825. In 1832, just one hundred N years ago, the charter was granted to the city. Then came the Civil f War when Portland responded to the call of duty, and soon after this, 9 J the great fire of july 4, 1866. From the ashes there rose a modern ' and more beautiful city, which we know today as the Portland of , X X 1932. Therefore, the'main theme of our TOTEM, Anniversaries, has l X Sh' proved an interesting subject with which to work, and it is our hope that our city will continue to grow and prosper as it has in the past.

Of her beautiful parks, W promenades, and abundant natural scenery, her stadium and many smaller recreation fields, Portland may be justly proud. Her harbor, Ev? the nearest port to Europe, is excelled by none on the Atlantic Sea- W' wg' board and furnishes a Port of Entry to Northern New England and, A in winter, to parts of Canada. i:,l S Portland is the leading city of one of the leading states of the JJ nation. She has given to the United States some of its greatest men, :tg prominent among whom are Commodore Preble, Henry W. Long- yn 2-xg' fellow, Neal Dow, Thomas B. Reed, Robert E. Peary, and Cyrus H. K. Curtis, who is still living. Facing the world with ideals which X were subject to ridicule and satire, these sturdy citizens proved their determination and sense of duty by remaining true to their .du ,A creed, and in the end won their battle. :gy 'hi In celebrating the Three Hundredth Anniversary of its founding X, and the One Hundredth Anniversary of its city charter, Portland ' X may look back with pride upon its record and achievements and feel that it may justly take its place among the great cities of the nation.
