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.
