Dedication Although the complexities of modern civilization, most bewildering at times, often compel us to live as if time were soon to cease, yet occasionally we do find ourselves indulging in retrospection or turning back tl1e pages of history i11 quiet n1editation. In 1632, education was a negligible factor in Aucocisco, now Portland, 1820, however, had witnessed real educational development, which was later climaxed in 1863 by the erection of a coeducational High School, a new departure. So as this year brings to a close seventy-five years of service, we pause to dedicate this, our 1939 To'rEM. We pay homage to those images of the past, fused into one vivid and magnificent entity in which sadness, which only made tl1e happiness sweeter, is intermingled with carefree laughter, serious study, and the pursuit of high ideals. To those seventy-five classes wl1o l1ave passed out of record into renown we give thanks for the splendid traditions, inheritance, and high resolves they have left us, a11d for tl1e noble services they have rendered. To tl1e little building of yesteryear which forms but a small unit of today's mighty educational plant, to tl1e halls and classrooms that have sheltered us and given us so many happy and profitable moments on which to base our ideals and future aspirations, we dedicate our everlasting loyalty. Our highest esteem and sincere respect we tender to our Principal, Artliur YV. Lowe, a11d to our submaster, Lucien P. Libby, wl1o with ope11 hearts and friendly guidance l1ave led us forward in tl1e patl1s of rigl1t and truth that we may go forth well-equipped into tl1e unpredictable world of tomorrow. Wife dedicate our heartfelt gratitude to our Dean, Miss Lehan, and to those capable members of the faculty who through their scholarly training and wise counsel have sincerely tried to give us an insight into the radiant life that we may enjoy a11d understand its meanings, and complexities. To tl1ose members of the underclasses to whom we look for the future, we hand on tl1e torch. May lllffil' works be definite, tl1eir vision clear. May lofty courage enable those classes, who through all the coming years, i11 11ew vigor a11d valor, Ll1'62llTl their splendid dreams, to maintain the traditions and tl1e mental and spiritual aspirations of the past that the scope of achievement may be more worthy with each succeeding year. To the true spirit of Portland High-that spirit of democracy, of friendliiiess, of undying loyalty, we pledge our allegiance, Pl'OIl1lSlI1g to up- hold the traditions of preceding graduates - that of livi11g noble lives. So we dedicate tl1is, our 1939 VIXOTEM, as a reflection of our ideals.
