TTI-IE TOTEM 193-4 Theme: Our School VOLUME XIV PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL PORT LAND MAINE PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL TOTEM FOREWGRD This, our school, stands as a living monument to those who have left its portals to enter upon the great business of life. Opportunities are freely offered here to every boy and girl in Portland to lay a solid foundation for his future success. Here, by conscientiously doing his lessons every day, the future citizen may train his mind to deal with the great problems of the world. Almost daily we hear of the gratifying success of some Port- land High School graduate. We have some well-known names in our list, notably Robert E. Peary and Cyrus H. K. Curtis. Here, too, our school offers every opportunity for the building of strong bodies as well as alert minds. Our wellaequipped gymnasiums, our indoor and outdoor sports for both boys and girls bring to all the good health so necessary to success. Training in leadership is provided by the different clubs and or- ganizations sponsored by the school. A school of 2,ooo, comprising at least half a dozen different nationalities, all future American citizens, offers ample opportunity for developing democracy and building leadership. And co-ordinating with all these opportunities, Portland High School strives to instil in all her boys and girls the great principles of dependable character-obedience, truthfulness, and honesty. In editing this, the 1934 Totem, our main purpose has been to offer to the students a compact history of the chief events and activ- ities of the current school year, and to give to the seniors, in partic- ular, a fitting remembrance of their four years in our school.

LIBBY Sub-Master io PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL TOTEM Administration Portland High School Oilers all the courses required for college and other ad- vanced schools, and, in addition, has an ample supply of other courses designed to train the non-college student for a useful career. 4 Four years of English, required of all students, opens up a wide field of litera- ture and gives a background of correct speech and writing which is necessary for success in the present day world. History follows English closely in furnishing a proper background for understanding the world of today. Science with its branches of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, and General Science explains to be- wildered students the workings of a wonderful universe. One's education too is not complete if his mind has not been awakened to the necessity of quick thinking and rapid calculations via the mathematics course. Although some may never have any practical use for a foreign language, their knowledge of other nations and their native tongues leads to a better understanding of our neighbors. For those who desire a business position, the commercial course gives practice in bookkeeping, stenography, economics, business law, and allied subjects. The Vocational course starts one on the way to a desirable trade through its branches of drawing, woodworking, printing, electricity, machine, and automobile. In the Home Economics department the girls learn how to make themselves and their homes attractive. In addition to their regular class work, Portland High has a staff of teachers who specialize in physical education, sports, penmanship, glee club, band, and Orchestra. Gymnasium is required of freshmen and sophomores. For sports, foot- ball, basketball, baseball, tennis, hockey, and track are offered. Penmanship is for all commercial students. In the Glee Clubs, our best singers display their talent. Band and orchestra pro- vide our music whether at an assembly or a football game. Our school also offers a splendid art course. We have public speaking and debating, in both of which courses we have carried off honors in the past. The Cadet corps is such an old organization in the school that it has become a tradition. Our extensive library aids in reading and reference work and is greatly enjoyed. The school publications, one of which became the High Lights in the daily paper this year, give plenty of practice to future jour- nalists.

President's Message By ROBERT T. MULKERN This is a century of Progress. Portland High School, when first opened in 1821, had 20 pupils. Now, one hun- dred and thirteen years later, it has more than igoo. This fact shows the rapid strides that education has taken along with the many discoveries and inventions of the past cen- tury. Our school has kept in harmony with these develop- ments and now offers each of her students a truly modern course. A question which has arisen and is the cause of much controversy is whether the pupils of the modein school re- tain the zealous attitude of those who gained their educa- tion in the smaller schools of the years past. I believe they ROBERT T. MUI,KERN do. Although the past century has brought many material changes, human nature has remained the same. We are often asked to consider the boy who did not have the educational advantages we enjoy, such as: public libraries, moving pictures, and radio. In most instances he had to walk miles to a poorly equipped schoolhouse and upon his return home was obliged to do chores, and in the evening continue his studying by candlelight. To many people this seems an excellent example of great sacrifice and zeal. But if we disregard our sympathies and attempt to answer the question more fairly, we find that this is neither zeal nor sacrifice. This mode of living was the result of en- vironment and was accepted by the people of the past generation as being perfectly NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-FOUR 1 3 SENIOR CLASS EXECUTIVE BOARD Donald Fowler, Arnold Brume, June Donovan, Mattie Robinson, Jean Clarke, june Hyberts, Ralph Aaskov, Edgar Striker. President's Message natural. They knew nothing of the modern conveniences that we consider neces- sities because our environment has always provided them. No, the students of the good old days were not consciously making any sacrifice. Their environment also gave them a greater opportunity to display their zeal than is afforded the modern student. Many persons believe that no zeal is required when a pupil is in a thoroughly equipped school under the instruction of capable teachers, but could not the fact that hundreds of pupils who are no longer re- quired to attend school do so in spite of strict discipline and long hours of study be regarded as zeal? A graduate of the old school may say that the school-boy of today could never succeed if he were obliged to battle for an education under the conditions which existed when he attended school. Possibly this statement is true, for the youth of today is accustomed to a more comfortable and convenient type of life. For the sake of argument we might ask this graduate if the student of his day could successfully compete in every respect with the students of the modern school. He could not, because he is unaccustomed to our great inventions and scientific discoveries and did DOI receive the proper training for such a technical era. However, it is futile to attempt to compare the student of the present day with the student of the past generation because the conditions which existed in the two ages are entirely different. The only responsibility of the student of today is to make the most of the op- portunities that are his and to live in the spirit of the time, which is Progress. 14 PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL TOTEZM Benjamin Cushing Josephine Amato Mary Flaherty Marion Romano Harlan McCain Maxine Skillings Graduation Program Chairman, ROBERT THOMAS MULKERN Overture-Hungarian Dances V and VI johannas Brahms PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Entrance March-Portland High School Graduation March Sylvia Rowell Entrance of Class of 1934 Devotional Exercises Invocation Scripture Reading .ARLINE FRANCES JACK Anthem-Now let every tongue adore thee, John Sebastian Bach From the Cantata: Sleepers, Wake CLASS OF 1934 AND ORCHESTRA Salutatory- A Building That Speaks MARY CECILIA FLAHERTY Piano Solo-Etude in D flat .

Senior Class Plays The Portland High School Senior Class, disregarding superstition, presented on Friday, April thirteenth, a group of three one-act plays. This was in marked con- trast to the usual productions of a three act play. The first play Privately Printed was a travesty of Greek Life, stressing the true story of Epimetheus and Pandora.

S CLASSES 42 PORTLAND HIGH ScHooL TOTEM SENIOR Roohl CHAIRMEN Marguerite Lane, Jackson Curit, Frank Gerry, Philip Thompson, William McAleney, Philip Naples, Geneve Iverson Katherine Kerrigan. Senior Class As we look back over four years, we discover how great a part this year's senior class has played in increasing the fame of P. H. S. in practically every Held of en- deavor that the school had to offer. The athletic teams will long remember the names of Bill X-Valker, Phil Thomp- son, Ansel Skolfield, Vincent Allen, Bob Mulkern, Clifford Lawson, Vernon Love- itt, Leon Burns, Arnold Brume, Ralph Aaskov, Mary Jennings, Mary McDonough, and Phil Gerber. Not only was this senior class outstanding in brawn, but also in brain, for these two physical requirements are as closely related as their spelling. Hand in hand they lead to success, yet apart they represent a job half done. Proof of this state- ment is found in the congruity of the names to follow with those preceding. Bill Walker was an eihcient editor-in-chief of the Totem, ably assisted by George Hay, the associate editor. Beverley McNair, Phil Thompson, and Vernon Loveitt were on the editorial board. Richard Kennedy, Maxine Skillings, Jean Clark, jack Glasier, were members of the Racquet and Totem business board. The Portland High Lights gleamed brightly with Harlan McCain as editor-in- chief, Maxine Skillings, literary editorg Mary Spear, art editorg Edwin Clough, feature writer, William Romanoff, sports writerg and Mary Flaherty, jean Clark, and Beverley McNair, reporters. The Senior Class gave to us Frank Saunders, a prize winning debaterg Benjamin Cushing, Valedictorian, and Classical Forum consul, James Jordan, president of the junior Red Crossg and Lorraine Gross and Geneve Iverson, members.

In sports the Junior class has probably never been so well represented. On the football team, we find Albert Romano, Philip Lawson, and Edward Connolly, doing fine work. Paul Drossel, Charles Stover, and Abie Connolly, with Sam De- Biase and Raymond Dunn have carried the colors on the basketball team. Leonard Stevens, Port1and's Heet-footed dashman, together with Abie Elowitch and Philip McKeough have well represented the Junior Class on the track. We find Sam De- Biase, Paul Drossel, Philip Lawson, Ray Dunn, and Robert Ritchie on the base- ball team. Our girls cannot be forgotten for the fine work they have done this winter on the basketball team. Those playing on the first squad were Dorothy Barker, Betty Feeney,. Ruth Cole, Lenora Kalesnick, Arline MacVVilliams, and Katharine Parks. For juniors on the debating team, which won the Bates Debating League, we have Mindella Silverman, Abraham Elowitch, and Edward Palmer. In literary activities we find Helen Davis and Milton Goldberg winning first and third prizes, respectively, in the Racquet Literary Contest. On the Totem and Highlighls Board the juniors are well represented by Helen Davis, Esther Leighton, Richmond Stratton, Milton Goldberg, Arline MacWil- liams, Mindella Silverman, Abraham Elowitch, and Leonard Stevens. So many of the Junior class have won fame for themselves and for the school that we are look- ing forward to greater achievements during our senior year. 44 PORTLAND HIGH ScHooL TOTEM SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Barbara Casey, Dorothy Welch, Francis Mitchell, President: Stuart Grimmer, Robert Lee, john Lomac, Patsy Collello, Priscilla Bailey, Geneve Cushing. Sophomore Class The class of 1936 should be one of the most successful in a number of years be- cause of the ability and earnestness of its members. Something different was in- augurated by electing class olhcers. Francis Mitchell was elected President, and Albert Ladd, Vice-president. As usual, room-chairmen were elected. Early in the fall, the football season started, and Francis Mitchell and Albert Ladd continued their brilliant work on the Varsity team. Soon after, girls' hockey started, and a large number of enthusiasts turned out for the call. Jeanette Libby, Arthur Jordan, Edward Everett, and Barbara Rowe served on the Red Cross Committee. Ruth Jillson and Thomas Carnes did splendid work on debating with Miss -Iillson slated for the Varsity team in the fall. Many boys and girls tried out for the Glee Clubs. Myra Whitney did outstanding work, being in the Christmas pageant and Glee Club show. Soon. afterwards the basketball season started and Mary Burke, Thomas Mulkern, and John Lomac played well on their respective teams. The cadets were ably supported, as was the Service Club, Band, Drum and Bugle Corps, Orchestra, and Public Speaking. This year's champion swimming team was justly proud of Nino Giampetruzzi, Stanwood Fisher, Richard Romano. and Edgar Curtis. On the track team, John Thomas, John Higgins, and Vllilliam Keniski made names for themselves. Then the baseball season came on and many answered the call. The newly formed Varsity Club includes many sophomores who won their letters their first year. Several promising writers from this class have been behind every enterprise that was started, and the success of these enterprises was due in no small degree to their loyalty and support.

Freshman Class Last September, members of the class of 1937, with an awed look on their faces, were given their Hrst taste of High School life. They were assigned to their rooms and immediately thereafter entered the many activities of our school. Their lirst move was to elect room chairmen. Football then called for candidates, and Henry Peterson gained a position on the 135-lb team. Rita Luja and Morton Mack were chosen Junior Red Cross representatives. Coach Rowe issued a call for hockey candidates, and 25 girls answered the call. Orchestra, band, and drum and bugle corps had many supporters. A girls' swim- ming squad was formed this year, and Natalie Hutchinson and Ruth Fairbanks won letters. A girls, track squad was formed and well supported. Three girls won a position on the Sub-Varsity debating squad-Estelle Long, Esther Mloll, Rita Lu-ja. Much is expected of these lassies. Basketball has always attracted many, and this year was no exception. Ellen Zunkunft, Dorothy Gooch, Delma Leo, Helen Sanbar, and Annette Murch were faithful and outstanding players on the girls' squad. Many boys answered the call and will make varsity material later. As freshmen are not admitted to the Glee Clubs, many promising singers were not able to show their worth, but Phyllis Potter, clever pianist, played the accompaniment for both Glee Clubs, and played for the Orchestra. Not only has this class entered activities with a vim, but they have supported their fellow students in every way possible. Scholastically speak- ing, they have been a huge success, as many have attained E's. Many have entered the public speaking classes, and a few have had articles published in the weekly. 46 PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL TOTEM I UNIOR Re0OM CHAIRMEN Front Row: Erve'tine Pirikllam, Eleanor Coe, Edith Liktoras, Doris Furbush, Priscilla Nlclsaac. hlary Lucey.

Our Publications PIIGPILIGPITS Starting the year in October with a depleted treasury and a glum outlook for the future, the managers and editors of Portland High's forty-five year old monthly magazine, the Racquet, were in a quandary as to what to do. It appeared evident that if the monthly were to continue, it must do so on a limited scale. Then, when prospects were dullest, the Portland Maine Publishing Company broached a prop- osition by which each of the five leading high schools in and about Portland would have at their disposal a complete page in the Portland Evening Express once, a week, thus affording students an Outlet for their journalistic talents, and providing a wider and more diversified reading public. This idea was readily grasped and the Portland H igh Lights-for such was the name of the new weekly publication- proved instantly popular with the pupils. Its popularity however, did not end with the student body, as parents and alumni of the school became more and more in- terested in the inner mechanism of Portland High through timely articles by stu- dent-reporters. We feel sure that the Portland High Lights, edited by Harlan Mc- Cain, has accomplished a record of which it may be proud. Next year, it has been learned, the Portland Evening Express will continue with this generous work. A tentative board of student editors and reporters has al- ready been appointed to fill the vacancies left by graduation. The list includes Helen Davis, Mary Heung, Mindella Silverman, Esther Leighton, Arline Mac- Williams, David Dickson, Abraham Elowitch, Milton Goldberg, Raymond Koenig, Harold Larkin, Harlan McCain, James Page, Leonard Stevens, and Richmond Stratton. NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-FOUR 49 TOTEM BUSINESS BOARD Maxine Skillings, Jean Clarke, jack Glasier, Linwood lWcKeen, Abraham Elowitch, lVIary Fenton, Ruth Levine Jean Orr. Our Publications T0 Tlilll The Totem, published annually for the past fourteen years, again maintains the high standard of workmanship always found in this outstanding year book. Due to the depression, space in the Totem was limited, but this in no way impaired its sterling quality. The students and faculty members so pledged their support as to allow us to present a better Totem than ever. As is the custom, the selected mem- bers of the editorial board are largely members of the senior class. This year we claim to have as good a book for the money as any in the state, thus maintaining the traditions of the past. The editor-in-chief was William Walke1', a prominent mem- ber of the senior class. Vlfalker was active in athletics, being a member of both the football and basketball teams. His able assistant was George G. Hay, who has gained fame through his dramatic work. Literary editors were Helen Davis, First prize winner in the Racquet Literary Contest, and Esther Leighton. Boys' Athletic editors were headed by Vernon Loveitt, versatile star on several athletic teams, and Milton Goldberg, outstanding student and track man, while girls' athletic writeups were capably handled by Arline MacVVillianis. The activity editors were Mindella Silverman, and Beverley MacNair. The Business Board defied depression and accomplished unexpected results un- der the leadership of Richard Kennedy. Kennedy assumed responsibilities in all of the departments and was aided by Maxine Skillings, Jean Clarke, Jack Glasier, Linwood McKeen, and Abraham Elowitch. Elizabeth Wigant, Mary Fenton, Jean Orr, Ruth Levine and Jane Roache, a post-graduate, also proved of invaluable aid as typists. 50 PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL TOTEM SCENE FROM HPYRAMUS AND THISBE Sitting: Kathleen Brown, Mary Cereste. Standing: Pauline Cushing, Priscilla Hayes, Mary Nicholas. The Classical Forum The little nonsense, which served as a relish this year in the Classical Forum, was the presentation of Pyramus and Thisbe, an adaption of Midsummer Night's Dream. All the parts were admirably taken and caused many a laugh. A more serious but very colorful and delightful performance was that of the Thaumaturga, a magician capable of producing for our enjoyment, by weird in-, cantations, such mythical characters as Orpheus and Eurydice, Pandora, Terpsi- chore, Dido, and such historical figures as Caesar and Cicero. And what was more, they were all dressed in their appropriate costumes. This is in accord with the gen- eral principle of the meetings held in the auditorium, that is, to have the proper settings and costumes as far as is possible with the money Obtained from the dues. ' The last meeting of the year is always held in the gymnasium. This is appro- priately called The Frolic, for restraint is laid aside, and balloons, noise-makers, and favors bring fun and gaiety to all. An invitation to this meeting is extended to all friends. These are entertained by specialty numbers, interspersed with general dancin . Frou? these characteristic meetings it can well be seen that the object of the Classical Forum is to supplement, enliven, and vivify the work done in the class. In these meetings an opportunity is also given to parents and friends to see some of the work of our school, since the meetings are always open to them. By their presence in large numbers, they show that they appreciate the chance to enjoy the programs with the pupils and review with them the aims in the study of Latin.

Back Row: Isaac Cohen, Audley Dickson, Philip Thompson. The Classical Forum The Classical Club Creed, which is always recited at each meeting, stresses the fact that the hours spent in the reading of Latin and Greek bring one into closer contact with the great minds of the past who were so familiar with Latin that it pervades all our literature. It also brings out the fact that, through translation, one is trained to express himself in English with clearness and force, an indis- pensable requisite for Civic influence. Membership in the club is open to all who take Latin and Greek, and usually numbers about three hundred. It is one of the oldest of the extra-curricula activ- ities in the school, being now in its sixteenth year. Tyrian purple, a color of sig- nificance in ancient times, is the Club color. The constitution, written on a Roman scroll with its sheath of Tyrian purple, adds a touch of reality to a classical meet- ing, and the Club motto, Possum quia posse videntur, expresses the spirit of its members. The Roman idea is still further carried out in the names of the officers. As in the Roman state, there are annually two consuls to preside alternately over the meet- ings. There are also lictors, aediles, and a quaestor. For the present year they are as follows: Consuls: Benjamin Cushing and Allyn Wadleighg Lictors: Isaac Cohen, Philip Thompson, Betty Talbot, Geneve Iverson, Aediles: june Donovan, Eleanor Fergusong Quaestor: Esther Stairman. Accompanist: Audley Dickson. 52 PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL TOTEM RACQUET LITERARY CONTEST XVINNERS Front Row: Leona Patten, Helen Davis, lvlary Curran, hfaxine Skillings, Hilda Dornan.

Literary Contest It has been seldom, if ever, that so many stories woven about crime, bloodshed, and violence have been submitted for this contest, but these qualities in this year's work did not endanger the literary repute of the writer, as some of the best ma- terial in recent years found its way into the judges' hands for approval. The first prize story, Christmas Memory, by Helen Davis, in receiving the unanimous approval of all judges, attained a signal honor. In past years, there has sometimes been but a shade of distinction between several of the prize-winning tales but Miss Davis received three first ratings. Second prize in the prose division went to Maxine Skillings with her story, The Avenger, while Rollo, written by Milton Goldberg, won third prize. Honorable mention in the prose work went to The Magic Hand, by James Page, Agnes, by Ruth jillsong Too Small, by Jerome Rosen, and A Tale of Revenge, by Milton Goldberg. Esther Manning's poem, Found, a Slipper, and Leona Patten's Wishing, divided first prize honors in the poetry division, while second prize went to Maxine Skillings' poem on Poetry A Hike in The Fall, by Hilda Dornan, received third prize, while honorable mention went to Snow Squall, by James Whiddeng Oh, Naturef, by Linwood Day, and Solution to Happiness, by Helen Davis. In the essay department, Hilda Dornan, won first prize with her Two Impres- sions.

School Bank A person strolling about the building might notice here and there a large yel- low card announcing in bold type Tomorrow is Bank Day! The following morn- ing, if the room chairman has not forgotten to reverse the card, he is reminded, Today is Bank Day! Tuesday is the regular day for school banking. Accompany one of the thrifty students to Room 212 and see for yourself what is going on. On the way, your companion may explain that this is his method of making sure that he will have money next spring to pay for his graduation suit and for his copy of the Totem. The aim of this bank is not to make rich men and women, but to develop a sense of thrift in the minds of the students. The school bank is managed along the same lines as larger institutions, with Hling cabinets, printed forms, and ledger cards. A student needs only one cent to open an account. He receives a bank book with his own name and account number written on it. When the account has reached the sum of one dollar, it is transferred to the Maine Savings Bank, where an account is opened in the student's name, and he receives another book which entitles him to withdrawal privileges. Transfers are made the last Tuesday of every month, Ac- counts of one dollar or more are transferred to earn interest. A larger number of depositors have been listed this year than ever before in the history of the bank. The Bank Officers are: Agnes Huszcza, Supervisorg Lena Giampetruzzi, Ledger Clerkg Dorothy Lupien, Cashier, Richmond Stratton, Cashierg Wilfred Hill, Sec- ond Teller. 54 PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL TOTEM JUNIOR RED CROSS AT WORK Standing: Abraham Elowitch, Lorraine Fitzpatrick, Wilfred Hill, James Jordan, Arthur Jordan, Edward Everett, Barbara Rowe, Lawrence Lamson, Geneve Iverson, Lorraine Gross, Benjamin Cushing, Ethel Comeras.

After having started the year with its customary membership drive, it distributed dinners to thirty-six families, thus assuring two hundred and forty-two people of a truly happy Thanksgiving. Opportunity Farm, the annual Red Cross project, received Christmas presents, candy, and Christmas tree decorations from the Portland High School Junior Red Cross. The group have also been aided in their projects by the girls of the Domestic Science De- partment. At this time, our members also donated their services to the Evening Express Santa Claus. Mr. Tarr, a member of the faculty, was given a donation of S5 to help him carry on his splendid work of providing clothing for the needy. The boys at Opportunity Farm were also cheered by gifts of books on Valentines Day, candy at Easter, and the annual contribution of 3525. A very original scheme of raising money to send a delegate, Edward Everett, to the Washington conference was devised. A double basketball game between the P. H. S. girls' and boys' Varsity teams versus the boys' and girls' Alumni teams re- spectively was arranged. This proved very successful. Once again the Red Cross is compiling a portfolio to acquaint the citizens of foreign nations with the city of Portland. This special undertaking is being com- piled by Ethel Comeras and Lorraine Fitzpatrick. Conducted by James Jordan, president, and Lorraine Fitzpatrick, secretary, and supervised by Miss Frances E. Haskell and Miss Ethel McCallum of the faculty, the junior Red Cross remains the most helpful society of P. H. S.

Portland High School Drum and Bugle Corps Those harsh, jarring sounds arising from the Boys' Gym early last fall were but the sound of the newly formed Portland High Drum and Bugle Corps throwing off the cloak of discord, to make an attempt at unity of harmony and expression. The major purpose of the corps was to add still another achievement to the records of Portland High, and furthermore, to root for the school, whether in victory or defeat. Mr. Stoddard, Algebra teacher, and American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps member, was put in charge, and under his competent management, the corps increased in number and quality, and under the direction of Oliver T. San- born, veteran drum major, has enjoyed a successful season. The corps made its first appearance at the Thanksgiving football game and later supplied the music for the Portland-Cheverus Basketball fracas. Several of its members also aided the Spanish American War Veterans at their services in com- memoration of the Sinking of the Maine. The corps next made its initial ap- pearance in full dress uniform at the Cadet Ball, during which it played several numbers. It was also seen On the March during the Memorial Day Parade. The members are, Oliver T. Sanborn, jr., drum major, Charles Power, head drummer, Lawrence Lamson, head bugler, Llewellyn Lamson, cymbal, and Nino Giampetruzzi, base drummer. Buglers: james McAleney, Edmund Le Tourneau, Barney Nixon, john Scanlon, Henry Sawyer, Eric Sanders, Charles Gorman, Ray- mond Weston, Iver Beck, Jacob Meltzer, Robert Whitney, and Thomas McGrath.

Debating This year our debaters met with great success. From a group of experienced candidates, Coach Walch picked a capable squad of six, composed of Frank Saun- ders and Edward Palmer, aflirmativeg Abraham Elowitch and Mindella Silverman, negative, with Ruth Jillson and Thomas Carnes, alternates. To start the season they took second place in the Bowdoin Debating League, topped only by Bangor by a margin of 20 points. The question was whether muni- cipal governments should borrow from the Federal Government. O Then our squad traveled to Berwick where they easily qualified for the semi- finals in the Bates League. Later, in the finals they came home with the State Championship. This is the third time in seven years that our team has brought home the cup. Here the question was whether the Federal Government should control radio or not. By this time Mr. Walch decided that if our team were good enough to emerge the victor of 60 schools in Maine, it should try its luck outside the state, so he en- tered them in a tourney with twenty of the best schools in New York and New England. This was held in Ilion, N. Y. and our four .debaters made an especially good showing. They were nosed out of fourth place by one lone point, making a record of which everyone should be proud. The question was Resolved: That the United States should adopt the essential features of the British system of radio control. Coach Walch next entered them in the New England Debating confer- ence at Boston where they Iinished in fourth place. Our coach and debaters should be congratulated on their achievements.

Le Cercle Francias The third year as an honor society proved to be a most successful term for the French Club. Unlike the club that was formed in 1920, which held its meetings at the respective homes of its few members, and the club which later developed as- sembling in the school auditorium in order to accommodate the large and ever in- creasing membership, the French Club now has established itself as the only honor society of Portland High School. A student must have completed one and one half years of French and averaged at least 8512, before he is eligible for active membership. Due to this ruling, the club's membership is small, but beneficial. Since the purpose is to enable students to speak French more fluently, French is the only language which one is permitted to speak at the meetings. That every member may have the opportunity of testing his ability in speaking French, the club is divided into three groups which meet individually and have their own ollicers. The B2 group, advissd by Mrs. Damren, has for its ollicers, Arline MacWilliams and Betty Feeney. The C group, advised by Miss Welch, is presided over by Harold Pinansky and james Connellan. The D group, advised by Miss Weeks, is led by Ethel Nanos. At the meetings French games are played, French songs are sung, and French plays are heard by means of a phonograph. The final meetings of the year, pre- viously, was a social dance open to the public, but now each group attends a pri- vate luncheon. Here, as usual, the conversation is conducted in French. It is easily seen that in its present form the French Club has reached a stage where it can best serve the French student. 58 PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL TOTEM CHRISTMAS PAGE!-QQT James Page, Jr., Charles Blackwell, Frank Stewart, Norman Bradglry, ,lessie Googins, Josephine Amato, Donald Allen, Merton Misener, Antonio Amorosp Giiido Salvatore. Glee Clubs The Glee Club this year, believed to be the largest organization of its kind in the State, was under the direction of Miss Emily Chase. Soon after the club was formed, Jessie Googins was elected President of the girls' division. The boys did not elect officers this year. At Christmas time a beautiful pageant of the Nativity was presented for the parents and pupils. The prologue of the pageant was given by Virginia Stevens. Jessie Googins took the part of the Archangel. Josephine Amato assumed the role of Mary. Donald Allen portrayed Joseph. The Three Kings of the Orient were played by Howard Eaton, James Page, Jr., and Frank Stewart. A solo was sung by Charles Blackwell. The Chorus sang Yuletide anthems. A double quartet sang Glory to God in the Highest. The Chorus sang First Noel, Oh Little Town of Bethlehem, Jesu Bambino, Away in a Manger. Adeste Fideles was sung by the entire company. Beautiful costumes, lighting, and scenery all added to this beautiful pageant which was well acclaimed by both parents and students. After such serious interests it was time to think of some rollicking enterprise. This was to be found in the Annual Minstrel Show. Harlan McCain was inter- locuter. End men were Frank Gerry, Milton Goldberg, Guido Salvatore, Antonio Amoroso, Clarence Quint, George Hugo, John Flaherty, and Tommy O'Donnell. Chanty men were Merton Misener, James Page, Jr., Earl Kriby, James Jordan, Jr., Harold Virgin, Donald Shorey, Arthur Griggs, and Sidney Lerman. The Chorus, consisting of members of both clubs, opened the show with a song of welcome, followed by several catchy tunes, the first being There's Something About a Sailorf' followed by a hornpipe dance.

Band In addition to the regular studies, the pupils of Portland High School have a chance to display their musical talents through the band, which is conducted by Mr. Rigby. This organization has a large membership, and its regular practice oc- curs at eight O'clock on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Mr. Simonton, in addition to his duties as head of the Science Department, is the faculty sponsor, devoting the first period twice a week to band practice. The boys who compose this musical body are constantly in demand, for their services are required from the beginning to the end of the school year. - In September, football games began a busy year for the band. At each game it Was the band which livened the cheering section and kept the school songs fresh in many minds. At the Junior Red Cross Conference and the Boy Scout Rally the band played the school songs and gave other musical selections. This year, a band assembly was held in place of the usual evening band concert. Many parents and other visitors were present to enjoy the entertainment. The members of the band receive valuable training here which enables many to play in bands outside of the school. In some years there have been outstanding players who have found places later in high-class concert bands. This year, under the direction of James Page, a junior, a harmonica band was formed. This has proved an interesting extra-curricular activity, and already the boys have played at several school events. 4- NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-FOUR 61 OUR ORCHESTRA Front Row: Lottie Burston, Mary Murray, lylargaret Smith.

Chase, assisted by Miss Katherine Bartlett, has done outstanding work this year. The orchestra opened the practice season with many inexperienced musicians, but it has developed into a co-operative and harmonious group. Its membership in- cludes representatives of all four classes and rehearsals are held each Monday and Wednesday morning in the auditorium. - The orchestra made its first apearance at the public presentation of the Christ- mas Pageant given by the combined glee clubs. Its principal selection was Beneath the Holly, a collection of favorite Christmas Carols. It has played at but one as- sembly this year, the band playing at most assemblies, but the musicians showed ex- cellent training and an intelligent interpretation of the numbers played. Several of the more advanced members of the orchestra are candidates for the New Eng- land Music Festival Orchestra, which plays at Hampton Beach on June 1. This year Miss Chase has introduced a new policy of having those members of the orchestra who are in the graduating class, sit in the first seats of their respective sections, at the Graduation Exercises, providing, of course, their talents permit. This goal toward which the members of the orchestra strive is to give a creditable performance at Graduation. Miss Chase and Miss Bartlett have spent many weeks preparing the orchestra for this real test of its ability. Selections will include the intricate, but lovely Hungarian Dances V and VI by Johannes Brahms, and the Portland High School Graduation March by Sylvia Rowell. 62 PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL TOTEM VARSITY CLUB OFFICERS Robert Mulkern, Vice Presidentg Mary McDonough, Secretary-Treasurer, Vincent Allen, President. Varsity Club Hail to our newest organization, the Varsity Club, composed of all the heroes and heroines of sports. The Club was formed early in the season by Mr. Lee. boys' gymnasium instructor, and Faculty Manager Murphy for the purpose of combin- ing all the letter winners of Portland High into one outstanding organization, and all boys or girls who earn a varsity letter are eligible for membership. The Club started off with electing Vincent Allen for their President, Robert Mulkern for Vice-President, and Mary McDonough for Secretary and Treasurer. The dues are twenty-five cents a year. Several dances were held in the boys' gym, which were well attended, and so the organization was able to award the much coveted varsity sweaters to the seniors. The Hrst annual show and dance, held by the Varsity Club, May 1 1, in the audi- torium, was one of the largest social affairs held at Portland High in some years. Mr. Lee was the director, and most of the players and the entire chorus were mem- bers of the club. The committee received the full support of the students and. alumni, the auditorium being packed to the doors. All the eighteen acts were well done. Among the best was William Walker's QBing Crosbyj The Blue of the Night. Bill put this over in professional fashion and was encored several times. Another one of our own crooners, Steve O'DOnnell QLanny Rossl , did a good job on Why DO I Dream Those Dreams. Little Phyllis Potter ended the program with Oh, You Nasty Man, during the last of which all the actors appeared to- gether on the stage in their respective acts.

Cadets The annual Cadet Drill and Ball, held in the City Hall Auditorium, Friday evening, April 6th, marked the forty-second anniversary of this event, and brought to a close a year of drilling and training for the Portland High School Cadets. As an opening feature, the combined orchestras of Portland High School and Deering High School presented a concert and following this, came the competi- tive drill. Company A of Deering High School went on the floor first under the command of Captain Philip F. Chapman, Jr. The first Portland company to come on was Company B, commanded by Captain Donald B. McKeough. The next Portland company to drill was Company C under the command of Captain Frank E. Wyman, and, although made up of smaller boys, the group made an excellent showing. The last drill was given by Company D of Deering, also made up of small boys. During the competitive drill the companies were furnished music by the Portland High School Drum and Bugle Corps under the leadership of Oliver T. Sanborn, Jr. and supervised by Edgar A. Stoddard. Following the competitive drill came the battalion drill of both schools. At the final evening parade, com- missions were awarded. This year a girl from each school was chosen as Honorary Lieutenant-Colonel and Honorary Major respectively. Virginia Maguire of Deering was chosen as Lieutenant-Colonel and Dorothy Barker of Portland as Major. The girls were awarded commissions, and each received a gift. After the Battalions had passed in review and disbanded, general dancing took place. The Cadets plan to hold a summer training camp at one of the islands.

Tl1ese included Captain Bobo Scolheld, Vinnie Allen, Bob Mulkern, Vernie Loviett, Frannie Mitchell, Cliff Lawson, and Jimmy Murphy. In the opening game of tl1e season, September go, they trounced their ancient rivals Deering, 2 1-6. Then the big Black Raiders came down from Winslow on October 7 to trample upon our fighting Blue team for tl1e second consecutive year by the identical score of 6 to o. The following week the Bulldogs hit the road to battle with Bangor at Bangor, winning 19 to 12. Every member of the team made the trip, including the two assistant coaches, Red Lee and Howard Reichie. Injuries crippled the Blue team for their next tilt which was played on the twenty-first with the Lewiston Blue Streaks at Lewiston, and the game ended in a scoreless tie. On October 28, the Blue showed their greatest form of the season by trampling over the Redmen from Bangor by the decisive score of 2 5 to o. The Bulldogs' offensive was unstoppable, and their defense was as hard to penetrate as a stone wall. The Buldogs travelled to Thornton November 4 to be beaten, 6 to o, only after a hard fought battle. It was not until the last period that the Thorn- ton team completed a forward pass over the head of the Portland safety man, to eke out a score. Allen's beautiful kicks in the early part of the game were the out- standing feature. Battle guns roared again on Armistice day when Red Riot proved too much for the Bulldogs who went down to defeat, 19 to o.

An- other Blue-Purple clash, on November 18, as the Blue met the fighting Irish from Free Street. The Blue team began to function, showing their early form, and, as the game ended, the Blue were on the long side of a 25 to 6 score. Playing before the largest crowd ever assembled in our Stadium, the rival Blue and Purple teams battled to a 6 to 6 deadlock in a sea of mud on Thanksgiving Day. Inside of two minutes neither of the teams or players could be distinguished. Portland scored early in the second period and Allen, Portland end just missed the goal by inches. Then Deering started a drive and with the ball on the Portland two yard line and with fifteen seconds to go, Babe Rosenblad, Deering's power- ful fullback went over the goal line to tie the score. Day of Deering tried to rush for the point after touchdown but failed. Before the ball could be kicked again the first half ended. Both teams changed jerseys at the start of the second half, and, by some odd coincidence, both teams wore white jerseys but this did not matter much for after a minute of play both teams were covered with mud. Allen's kicking was the fea- ture of the game, his kicks averaging 45 yards. Zook Murphy, Walker, and P. Law- son, starred for the Blue, while Rosenblad and Martin were Deering's big guns. This ended the Blue's Hrst season under the so-called New Deal, winning four games, losing three, and tieing two. Coach Fitzpatrick has many veterans back and should mold a winning team for 1934. 68 PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL TOTEM BASKETBALL SQUAD Front Row: Coach Fitzpatrick, Philip Connolly, Charles Stover, Paul Drossel, Vernon Loveitt, Philip Gerber.

The former consisted of Phil Gerber and Abe Connolly, forwards, Paul Drossel, pivot, Vernie Loveitt and Charlie Stover, guards. The small five included Johnny Lomac and Brud Mulkern, forwards, Bill Walker, center, and Fred Chase and Sid Finkleman, guards. Opening the season against a strong alumni quintet, the team, although beaten, gave promise of a successful season. The following week, they journeyed to the Deering gym where they were again forced to defeat, 28 to 24, as was the case at So. Portland, 21-17. The Blue next met the Fighting Irish, when the Hnal fifteen seconds of play assured a victory for the Blue, 20-18. An open date followed, but Coach Fitzpatrick arranged a game with Cony High of Augusta in which the Bull- dogs won a hard-earned victory, 32-25. The Blue again took over the Cheverus team, which was no match for the fast traveling Portland quintet, 43-22. The classic of the season, the second South Port- land game, was played in our gymnasium before a record crowd, when tl1e Blue team eked out a 28 to 24 win and thus revenged an earlier defeat. Another thriller and the Blue triumphed over Lewiston High in one of the sea- son's fastest games, 32-31, and then took over Edward Little High, 28-24. Home again, the Portland team got sweet revenge on Deering by handing them a 33-31 defeat. Portland was invited to play at the thirteenth annual Bates Tournament, but was stopped in the first round by the Lewiston team which later won.

Baseball Opening their season on,Thursday, April 19, after only two days of practice, Portland High's baseball nine, under the direction of Coach Jimmy Fitzpatrick, went down to defeat at the hands to a strong team representing South Portland High, 1 1 to o. The Blue batters were helpless against the slants of Al St. John, star Caper twirler, who blanked the Fitzmen while his teammates were piling up 11 tallies. Against Cheverus High a week later, the Portlanders again run up against an experienced pitcher, Coley Chisholm, who turned the tables on the intowners by the score of 5 to 3. Although Skillin of Deering ranked high among the coterie of local high school hurlers, it was not so mucl1 his pitching as the wildness of the Portlanders that lost them their third consecutive game on May 9 when they bowed to the subur- ban Purple, who, until that time had tied them for the unwelcome cellar berth in the Telegram League. After the Deeringites had pushed over six runs in their half of the ninth, putting them ahead, 12 to 10, the score remained unchanged.

Girls' Swimming Two new sports were introduced into Portland High School this year for girls. The first of these was swimmingg the second, girls' track. Like every new sport, swimming stimulated much interest, and many real mermaids turned out for the practices which were held regularly at the Portland Boy's Club. Soon the team rounded itself into a splendidlsquad, and although they had no meets nor compe- tition of any kind for a while, they finally found other teams equally interested with which to compete. The Hrst meet was with Brunswick High at Brunswick, the Blue proving itself the top team by the score of 42-26. The second was with the girls' team of the Boy's Club at Portland, and the Blue splashed its way to an- other good victory. The first defeat, however, was given to the Blue by Brunswick, 19-45, in a return engagement. In the fourth and last meet of the season, the Blue met Freeport High at Portland. The Blue mermaids swam their way to victory again, scoring 3g points to their opponents' 19. Some of the outstanding swimmers were Mary Lucey, captain-elect, xqg4-35, Natalie Hutchinson, Dorothy Bean, Eleanor Larkin, Deborah Press, Miriam Holden, and Doris Furbush. Others gave great promise of speed and endurance for the 1934-35 season. Miss Madeleine Kingsley, faculty adviser of the group, is to be congratulated for the splendid showing made by the girls in adding new laurels to the glory of P. H. S. In addition to those already named the squad includes: Kathleen Israel- son, Annette Maloney, Priscilla Bickford, Lydia Boxstein, Ruth Fairbanks, Mary McLaughlin, Mildred Scolnick, and Bertha Mack, manager. 72 PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL TOTEM 1 BASKETBALL SQUAD Front Row: Kathleen lsraelson, Frances Pinder, Doris Lynch, Barbara Eaton, Nlary McDonough, Captaing Anna Pelosi, Mary Jennings, Mary Burke.

It was a close, fast moving game with the Alumnae com- ing out on top, 16-14. The next to invade the home court was Morse. The Blue handed Morse a 35-14 defeat with the able help of Betty Feeney and Dot Barker. Windham was then added to Portland's list of victories with a 39-33 tally, and the 'following Saturday the Blue gave Lewiston its defeat of the season with a great score, 32-24. Next to fall before the onslaught of the Blue was South Portland. It was a slow game, getting off to a very poor start, but Portland chalked up 21 to South Port- land's 8. Then the Blue met their arch-rival, Deering. It was a fast game, full of action, both teams having an equal cl1ance to win. Deering, however, won, but only by one point, 19-18. On February io, in a 19-22 struggle, VVestbrook fell be- fore the Blue. The team then journeyed to Lewiston on the 17th, receiving there their second defeat of the season.
