THE TOTEM 1938 I ffiheme: Shzjas One ship drives east, another drives west 'While the selfsame breezes blowg 'Tis the set of the sail and not the gale That bids them where to go. Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate As we journey along through lifeg 'Tis the set of the soul that decides the goal And not the calm or the strife. -R. R. Wi'llz'ams. VOLUME XVIII PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OE PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL PORTLAND, MAINE

vlan- FOREWORD Since that long-ago day when three fragile ships brought civilization to our shores, ships and shipping have played important roles in the mold- ing, stabilizing, and the development of our nation and of our city. There- fore, a more perfect theme could not have been chosen for the TOTEM, which has figured so prominently in our school life since its first publica- tion in 1921. h Our TOTEM-a book as vital and necessary to the life of the school as were ships to the progress and development of the people of early Portland-an indispensable tradition. And, even as clipper ships have given way to trim yachts and streamlined cruisers, so our TOTEM has, each year, become more complicated in structure. It has required more thought, more originality, and more care to produce a book as seaworthy as were those sturdy ships that once were Portlandis pride and joy. Like the giant ships of commerce that drop anchor in our harbor, some perhaps for but a brief interval, only to sail away to far-distant ports, so our students come and go, and, with the passing of 1938, must pass many of our priceless memories. But, even as each old sea captain had some cherished relic to recall his days of service on the sea, so this TOTEM, our log book, will ever take us back in memory to our happy four years' cruise.
