Although some '.,, 5, believe that the ri hr of suffra e and the control of overnment il :'12:s'41n fi g g g 7:5 should be vested in a few privileged of the people, others-in increas- ing numbers-hold that the common m-an, given adequate education, Ui can participate in his government and is capable of the preservation and the im- X 'f rovement of the condition of societ . America listened earl to these ar uments- N P Y Y g A to those of Alexander Hamilton for the autocratic few and to those of Thomas Jefferson for the democratic many. Every government degenerates when in- trusted to the rulers of the people alone, said Jefferson. Wfhe people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories. And to render even them safe, their minds must be improved. The influence over government must be shared among all people. America, agreeing with Jefferson, established public schools to carry out his ideals. Her entire history attests to the wisdom of her choice and to the effectiveness and necessity of public schools and an educated, enlightened people. To our Portland High School, therefore, rightly proud of her achievements and contributions to the betterment of society, we dedicate the Totem for 1944. grfzrwrfrd Portland High School, on the outside, presents much the same appearance that it did several years ago. Inwardly, however, the school has assumed an entirely dif- ferent atmosphere, a busier and more purposeful character. The gym session is no longer a time for playing games, it is, instead, a period during which muscles are developed and bodies are hardened to rigors to which they may soon be exposed. The metal and machine shop students, ready and eager to learn important skills and to produce materials to aid the war effort, take up their work with a new earnestness and a new vigor. The constant reminder to Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a Workman that needeth not be ashamed ,... , which looks down upon the life of the school from its position in the auditorium, has taken on a new significance during this period of acceleration in learning. It is with great pride, therefore, that we present to you the Totem for 19445 between its covers we have attempted to set forth a cross-section of the activities of our school during this eventful year. We hope that to friends and alumni it may give some picture of our school in wartime, that to faculty, seniors, and underclass- men it may bring the especial pleasure of recognition and fond recollection. l' Guardia Youth? fldminisfrafivu ARTHUR W. LOWE, A.B., A.M. Principal Wzicyfs-af-Stay The triumvirate of Mr. Lowe, Miss Lehan, and Mr. Libby is our smoothly functioning executive force. Upon the shoulders of our principal, Mr. Lowe, falls the task of co-ordinating the multiple activities of our school, so greatly intensified by World War II. We are especially grateful for his patient under- standing of the pranks and quips of our generation. Our Dean of Girls, Miss Lehan, holds an important place in the administration force. Her friendly and cooperative manner has eased many a girl's problem and her ability to make the mysteries of iambic pentameter and the signiflcance of poetry clear to all is an invaluable asset. Although P. H. S. has no clock in its main corridor, the stu- dents arriving at 8:19 do have Mr. Libby to hurry them on to their seat rooms.. The rest of the day he attends to administrative duty and the teaching of English literature. Portland High is truly fortunate to have three such leaders. E121 LUCIEN P. LIBBY, A.B., A.M.

We were just thinking back to that September day in 1940 when P. H. S. rose before us like a Mammoth. Was it large, and were we small! How sure we were that This was It-the be- ginning of the end. Then, as time scut- tled on, we were still more sure, for one Thomas Collins, P'mdf'l' December noon we listened to those ringing words of our President-words that changed our very destiny. Then, did we not witness the appear- ance-and disappearance of Nylons land silk dittojg see the quaint little hamlet of Portland become a coastal Boomtowng and say good- bye almost weekly to our classmates whose Destiny was now in the stern hands of one Uncle Sammy fnot Rosenthalj. Yes, the little freshmen who waited patiently for the elevator have learned now to rise by their own efforts. So today the class of 44', have come that long way from the beginning of the end to the end of the begin- ning-from whence, if determination and sincere effort are a guar- antee, they will again rise on a never-ending crescendo of success. Alice Smith, Secretary Robert Harradon, Vice-President Lucy Piacentini, Treasxrrcr E241 S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Scaled - Helen Marr, Mar- garet Joyce, Jane Ball. Standing-John Meader, Ar- thur Tobiassen, Helen Haley, Raymond Troubll, Samuel Mangino. HOME ROOM CHAIRMEN Smtvd-Alice Smith, Shirley Hill, Barbara Needleman. Standing! - Robert Harrarlon, John Lyons. f25l Slecfion Most Popular - It was Jeanne Eskilson all the way for the girls, and President Tommy Collins for the lads in our popularity poll. This only goes to prove that quiet ways are the best ways. Others who scored as being definitely O. K. are Barbara Needleman, Kay Curran, and Jean Hight. Bob Greaney was outvoted by only one point in the struggle, while smilin, Sam Mangino and Dickie Jordan had galleries of their own. Most Respected- Brains, personality, and under- standing are the prerequisites for being chosen most respected, and the Class of '44 has done itself proud in choosing Alice Smith and David Simonton for this honor. Orchids are also in order for Jeanne Eskilson and Salutatorian Lydia Backer, who were also in the running for the girls, and Tommy Collins and Valedictorian Milton Popkin, who completed the roster for the boys. Best Looking-Heading the Pulchritude Parade this year are none other than Kay Curran and John O'Donnell. Next in line as prospective Power,s models, according to the class vote, are Evelyn Pelkey, Jeanne Eskilson, and Joanne Curran. Class President, Tommy Collins, gave O,Donnell more competition than the rest of the boys combined, but Bob Powers and Paul Zdanowicz did all right, too. Biggest Heart-Breaker- Somebody else has taken your place has been appropriate rather frequently of late, and we are about to let you in on the secret of those who are to blame. The first of the villains are Tessie Berry and Dick Jordan, whose Hirtatious doings are just part of the day's work to them. All's fair in love and war, you know. While we,re on the sub ject, we may as well warn the boys to look out for Jo Fagone and Barbara Needleman, and you gals had better keep a weather eye on those three good-looking Casanovas, O'Donnell, Zdanowicz, and Harradon. E263 leefurus Most Valuable-Competition was hot and the struggle for this honor was severe, but the smoke of battle having cleared away, we find Cheerleader Jean Hight and ul-li-Lights Editor Bob Greaney crowned Most Valuable. Others considered to have done much for the school are Alice Smith and Lydia Backer of the Totem Board among the girls and Slide Rule Popkin among the boys. Most Likely to Succeed - It was a walk-away for Salutatorian Lydia Backer of dramatic fame and Valedictorian Milton Popkin of Totem repute. Lydia had a lead of fifty votes over her nearest rival, and Milton was not far behind. Alice Smith, Jean Hight and Evelyn Pelkey also needn't worry about the future, it seems, while Totem Editor Jackie Lyons and John Meader are assured of success. Best Athlete-To Beverly Amergian, our Bad- minton Champ, and Sammy Mangino, husky guard and captain of the P. H. S. bulldogs, go the laurels, for they have been chosen best athletes. Lucy Piacentini and Alice Smith followed Beverly as high scorers and John Caterina and Paul Zdanowicz fthe Heart-Breakerl also rated as those who Fight with the might that will give us tonight a victory for Portland Highf' Best Dancer- Jane Ball and Robert Powers have the floor practically all to themselves when the ques- tion of best boy and girl dancer comes up. But look, here comes Josephine Fagone tripping the light fantastic and there's Evelyn Pelkey. If you look closely fare we kidding?j, you can see Sammy Mangino, of course, wending his graceful way among the before-mentioned Terpsichoreans. E273 ISADORE ABRAMsoN Boston University.

As we open our yearbook of achieve- ments we point with pride to brilliant accomplishments in various fields, for example, Charlie Bennett and Arthur Negrini are well versed in the science of football along with those gridiron stars- George Ludden, Walter Kopack, Maxie Lerman, and, well-known to all of us, Will Kenny, now serving in the United States Navy. Will Kenny and Charlie Bennett might also have been seen indus- triously working out on the basketball courts, for they were the two if most outstanding players. Besides being made captain of the basketball team, Bennett received the Vinall trophy for his superb playing. The juniors played a conspicuous role in the Ski Club activities this winter. To keep the record of their accomplishments, the skiers chose Connie Wilbur. When rank cards are passed out, many hard-earned A's and B's are received by members of the junior class.

The Spanish Club elected from our ranks as president, Robert Hartford, corresponding secretary, Iris Huddlesong treas- urer, Sally Doclwell, and recording secretary, Dwight Erliclc.

When the call was for reading or information, the cry was, To the library and Miss Robinsonlv You see, a library, like languages, forms a means of com- munication among the peoples of the world. And speaking of languages, that romantic Latin, stal- Nam f'n1d2'fH fm wart ancestor of the Romance languages, has given many a professional man or woman a paramount start in a life in which gracious living is an essential. Other languages studied here at P. H. S. are French, Spanish, German, and, needless to say, Eng- lish. Our English courses are designed to increase the pupil's general knowledge, acquaint him with great literature, and heighten his cre- ative abilities. French, the language of diplomacy, is of great cultural value, Spanish is the tongue of our Mexican and South American neighbors, and German is invaluable to the scientist. We don't think it too much to say that in the knowledge which comes to us through library and languages, we have a passport into the adult world. sh B d t its I's and crosses its T's.

Why take math anyway? Lot of foolishness-x-l-yrxy. Maybe, but let's consider. Name any war industry, any branch of the service-name anything that doesn,t entail math of one kind or another. The list isn't very long, is it? Maybe it's 2x3, maybe it's the calculus, but itis there. The benefits derived from pounding a typewriter, balancing accounts and such, are perhaps a bit more clearly drawn. MTM it the time for an good men For instance, during the past ten years the W commercial department has recommended more than 700 pupils or graduates to banks, ofhces, and business houses. Pupils are taught arithme- tic, bookkeeping and accounting, business law, economics, commercial English, stenography, and typewriting-all necessary in the business world. The advanced typewriting classes carry out many projects of a practical nature such as addressing envelopes for the army, and keeping records for the Red Cross. We all agree that the commercial and mathematics departments de- serve an E for excellence, efficiency, and effort. l 61 l l E621 Industrial Believe me, the shops are right in there pitching these days. Take the machine shop, for instance. During recent years, that place has been in use for sixteen to twenty hours a day. More than a thou- sand dollars' worth of machine equip- ment for use in other schools has been made there. More important, the chap behind the lathe is getting the kind of experience that has made America,s in- dustries the best in the world. Next door is the auto lab.

However, this experimental work in chemis- try, under the direction of Mr. Rosenthal, allows the students to prove to themselves the statements in their hooks. Many of these ex- periments are fascinating to the neophyte. The burning of sodium without the applica- Avimun c ll'uslas'i tion of heat always arouses great interest, as does the mixing of iodine and phosphorus with the resulting spray of Hame. Under the direction of Mr. Simonton, head of the department of science, the fundamentals of engineering and science are soon mastered by his eager pupils. These include the study of sound, engines, heat, electricity, and light, as well as the laws of Newton and others. Mr. Simonton also teaches navigation. His students learn the use of charts, the sex- tant, and other nautical instruments. A most unusual laboratory is Fifty meals a day, four days a week, for thirty weeks! i643 In the labs supervised by Miss Wiswell, teacher of biology. This laboratory contains tropical fish, one-celled micro- scopic organisms, unusual plants, and other speci- mens that are amazing to the uninitiated. A new course, taught at P. H. S. by Mr. Stevens and Mr. Ledger, is aviation. Included in the course are air- plane construction, theory of flight, radio, aerial navigation, and meteorology. This sub ect is gaining in popularity and is an important subject for the Two aprons coming up: citizens of tomorrow. For the girls, especially, sewing is taught by Miss Concannon and Miss O'Connor and cooking by Miss Kingsley and Miss Tolman. The girl students make utility bags for the soldiers besides hot lunches for the students and faculty. Laboratory work is of great importance not only because it proves basic facts and helps to prepare pupils for their life-work, but because it also teaches the students to become careful and accurate thinkers.

'Intelligent planning requires a firm foundation of knowledge and training, whether be it for a bridge, a multiple drill press, or for a new world. Portland High is well equipped to give this foun- dation, for through the social studies we learn of history, geography, and economics. History is very essential. The old maxim, I-listory repeats itself, has held true over and over during the course of the world's known existence. A knowledge of geography, too, is a neces- sary attribute to world harmony. Geography is not only the study of locations, it is as well the study of characteristics and habits of other peoples. Ignorance of the temperaments and customs of our good neighbors to the south has cost the United States many friends. Economics, also, has a tremendous bearing on the course of inter- national relations. If world peace is to endure, the handling of econ- omic and political relations must be more intelligent than in the past. The Social Sciences offer not merely another point towards gradua- tion, but insurance of a better world for ourselves and our posterity. Where is Azerbaijan?

The Art Department headed by Miss Inza Flagg, offers to the pupils a basic course in drawing, design, and color. For those who plan to make art their vocation, this course provides a solid foundation upon which to build and for those who have no desire 7 Painting from still lifc to continue in an art career, the Department pro- vides a good background of the various forms of art with which one frequently comes in con- tact. The Department often produces posters designed for various school activities. The Music Appreciation classes, under Miss Emily Chase and Miss Katherine Bartlett, give the students a greater appreciation for and a greater under- standing of the musical compositions of the mas- ters. This course not only sharpens the studentis knowledge of the finer points of this art, but it is one of the most pleasant and enjoyable subjects in the curriculum to one who likes good music. i671 'QQ AA::h Q - h ,h A,iAi , .

Last year a group of pupils sponsored by the officers and executive board of the junior class, under the supervision of Miss Louise Dunham of the faculty and later, Mr. Francis Connor, established UI-Ii-Lights , the Portland High School newspaper. These journ- alistic-minded pupils elected Jeanne Eskilson and Bob Greaney as Co-editors, with a staff of willing and competent workers. This year many underclassmen have been included in the editing of 'QI-Ii- Lightsv to provide an experienced staff for the future. Dick Butwell is associate editor and Clesson Henningson has charge of the sports columns. With their help and the help of many others, four issues of the paper have been printed, and circulation has hit a new high. The Hi-Lights has a variety of interesting and entertaining fea- tures, headed by Bits About 'Em , the Walter Winchell type column. The paper also keeps the students informed on the many extra-curricular activities of the school.

This year, hopes for success were dim at first, with few veteran speakers remaining. However, by the time the first debates came up, the team was prepared. On December 10, the P. H. S. debaters, led by Elizabeth Thomes and Shirley Kaplan, took first place in the Bowdoin Interscholastic League for the fifth consecutive year. Preparations were then made for the Bates Col- lege League Tournament at Lewiston. Lester Mack and Helen Anderson made up the Portland negative team and Elizabeth Thomes and Shirley Kaplan formed the affirmative. In the pre- liminaries, our debaters gained victories over Rockland, Dixfield, and Eliot High Schools, but lost the decision to Lewiston High in the finals. We are happy to report, however, that Lester Mack was named one of the outstanding speakers, and that the team came home the proud possessors of a National Forensic plaque, awarded for ten years of successful debating.

Stage Dow Our hats are off to the seniors and to Mrs. Rowe, our dramatic club director. The senior class play of ,44 was truly a triumph. The un- tiring efforts of Mrs. Rowe, and the many seniors who took part in it made the play the most successful one yet performed on our stage. To those who had the leads and even those who had as little as two words to say, the play meant every- thing-even giving up their spare time to rehearse over and over again until they were all but flawless in their performance. When the big night of April 21 finally came, the auditorium was jammed with over 1400 people. The play was Stage Door. Sound familiar? It should. Many of you have undoubtedly seen it in the movies or on the stage. There was a cast of thirty, most of whom were girls- and what lovely girls! Some of the boys werenlt too bad, either! All three acts of the play were laid at the Footlights Clubv in New York. Evelyn Pelkey, who came to our school from Bangor last year, had the leading role of Terry Randall, about whom the play was built. Evelyn's performance was a beautiful thing to see. Those who were there will tell you of the poise, sincerity, and naturalness with which Evelyn put herself into the role. All we can say is that Bangoris loss was Portland's gain. Bob Fogg, who had the leading male role, also gave a truly professional performance in his part as David Kingsley, a movie talent scout. As for the others in the cast, we loved them all. To tell you of the outstanding performance of Phyllis Jones, Katherine Curran, and Lydia Backer, as well as those of the rest of the players would take pages and so we cannot really do them justice. Let it suffice, then, to say that the hours put into rehearsals by Mrs. Rowe and the entire cast of Stage Door were very well spent. l76l Mamie Salem, Barbara Needleman: Scaled on ranrlzff-Mary Anna Gzilli, Jeanne Eskilsun, Evelyn Pelkcyg Brliiml' cmzcli-Joanne Curran, Victor Stickneyg On larzdilzgf--Maureen Cuncaunon, Eloise Nezilg Phyllis Jones, VVinifred Hinds, Harriet Tabor, Lorraine Roberts, Lucy Piacentini, Miriam Kaatz, Katherine Curran, Sara Jenn Jacobson, Patricia Beaurlry, Salvatore Rornagno, Etlicl Horowitz.

Few of us, perhaps, are fully aware of the valuable services presented by this organization. The stirring marches heard at assemblies, the Hash of blue and white at parades and football games have become so much a part of the school that it seems hard to realize that they have not always been present. Not so many years ago Portland High could boast nothing more than a few eager and poorly equipped band members. Now, however, thanks to the untiring efforts of our bandmaster, Mr. Joseph L. Gaudreau, we have an organization of some forty-four members. Much credit is due also to the Band lVlother's Club, for they are the ones who are responsible for the sparkling new uniforms and for the private les- sons many of the band members enjoy. The Band made its most important and impressive public appearance at the Band and Or- chestra Concert held in February in the school auditorium.

Singing Strings During recent years many musical organizations have sprung up in Portland schools, and Mr. Gaudreau, the conductor of the P. H. S. Band and Orchestra, has been forced to devote much of his time to these new groups. In fact, so occupied did Mr. Gaudreau's time become that it became necessary to supply him with some outside help. It was indeed fortunate for all concerned when Mr. Clinton Graffam was chosen to fill the position as director of our orchestra. Mr. Graffam is especially suited for this work for he has been an outstanding member of the Portland Symphony Orchestra for many years. Under his expert direction the orchestra played for eve- ning school classes and was an important part of the Christmas pageant, performed at the Senior Class Play, and it will play its traditional role at the Graduation exercises. The Band and Or- chestra Concert was the highlight of the season with the orchestra playing such favorites as Piano Concertoi' by Tschaikovoslcy, March of the Meistersingers by Wagner, and Liebestraume', by Liszt. We look forward to many such programs in the future. E813 Karvls and Hlzarisfcrs Have you ever been to the third Hoor during home room period?

The council continued this year as usual its custom of giving individual gifts to the children at Opportunity Farm, it renewed the subscription to Life magazine given to the Seaman's Club, and it gave much pleasure to a needy child whom it provided with clothing. In response to a generally felt need, a File Committee has been set up to gather information concerning Portland High alumni now serving in the armed forces. This information, collected by means of post cards printed by the school laboratory, is to be kept on file in the school oflice for future-reference.

Yes, sir, there goes Battalion Two, the future fighting Army, Navy, or Marine Corps Recruits of Portland High School. Here comes Company H under Captain Weiss, fol- lowed by Companies E, F, and G, led by Captains Conant, Eclgerly, and Silver, demonstrating their slcill in executing snappy right turns and fine regiment formations. On April 28, these boys will really have a chance to show their stuff in competitive drilling at the Fifty- Second Annual Cadet Ball held on the Exposition Building floor where, before a crowd of 2,000 or more spectators, they will com- pete with Battalions One and Three from Deering High. The officers of the Cadet Corps under the instruction of Captain William Carey have taken a new step toward improvement and uniformity in the ranks. A squad of M. P.'s has been organized under Captain Oates to act as a police body among the Cadets, much the same as the Military Police in the regular Army. This plan is a system of merits and demerits for such things as unofficial clothing, untidy uniform, and disorderly conduct. The oflicers have found this system to work very well for the improvement of the P. H. S.

Blue Team under-manned , 'tPort- land Weak , 'QOutlook Green for Portlandv. Thus was it said of Port- landls football team at the beginning of the season. Although Coach Sibson and his Portland squad of football players were decided underdogs in the opening game against a highly favored Deering eleven, they surprised all by holding the surburban Purple to a scoreless tie. Building the team around veterans Dick Jordan, Will Kenney, and Captain Sam Mangino, Coach Sibson fielded a smart offensive eleven to gain a 24-0 victory over Edward Little. Then came victories over Bangor, Comy, and a hard fought 7-0 verdict over the Fighting Irish of Cheverus. The following week the usual Thorn- ton jinx continued and Portland suf- fered its only defeat of the season, 7-6. Portland scored early on a Collins-to- Jordan pass and led 6-0 for over three periods. Armistice Day brought a 7-0 victory over South Portland on a snowy field. The line play of Caterina, Zdanowicz, and Waugh was outstand- ing and the touchdown pass, Bennett to Meader, was superb. Led by spark plug Charlie Bennett, Portland de- feated Dover 12-6 the following week. For the second time this season, Deer- ing was favored to defeat Portland. However, a great Blue line led by Capt. Sam Mangino stopped the Purple of- fense cold, while the backs: Bennett, Meader, and Jordan paced the Blue offensive to a 21-7 victory. Outstand- ing players of the year were Captain Sam Mangiiio and Charlie Bennett. Others on the team were Lew Waugh, Dick Jordan, Johnny Meader, Paul Zdanowicz, Walt Kopack, Capt.-elect Will Kenney, Dick Loring, Burt Per- ham, Duke Caterina, Tom Collins, Art Negrini, John O'Donnell, Art Upham, George Crawford, and Augie DiBiase.

Wears for the glllff Portland Highis Little Boy Blues again stood out as the leading team in this section. With Captain Charlie Bennett the only veteran player to start the year, Coach Jimmy Fitzpatrick had a difli- cult assignment in molding a team. The Little Boy Blues played their first game against South Portland, winning by a close score of 40-3 7. Andy Lano, last yearis freshman star, joined the team midway through the season. With Lano and Bennett leading the way, the Blue cagers won six straight games. Injuries hampered the Blue, and the following games against Lewiston and Deering were both losses. Going into the West- ern Maine Tournament, the Little Boy rl Blues were the underdogs, but the will-to-win- spirit brought us our third consecutive tournament championship. Captain Charlie Bennett won the annual George Vinall trophy, awarded to the out- standing player of the tournament. This tourna- ment brought out several stars with John Thun- derbolt Meader coming through in Frank Merri- well style. Lano and Bennett were chosen on the All-Tourney Team, both being repeaters. The climax of the year was the State championship with Wa- terville. This game was a nip- and-tuclc affair during the first half, with Waterville leading 19-18. A minute and 30 sec- onds after the half began, Lano went out on fouls. This loss, combined with fatigue, Q caused the Blue team to drop behind steadily. The score was 53-33.

Why, one of George Albert's pride and joys, of course. A great deal of credit is due to Mr. Albert for his untiring efforts and patience with his snow boys and girls, also for the many times he has provided transportation to the land where snow is king. One of the most popular slopes is Briclgton. There Howard Reiche, Jr., our able president, can be seen practicing his Chris- ties, George Manette, vice-president, ex- perimenting with a telemark, Olive Libby, fx 2 treasurer, doing a little double stemming, or Connie Wilbur, secretary, schussing the hill head-first. But skiing isn,t enough for the fifty-eight ambitious members of the Portland High School Ski Club. Now and then they slip in a movie, a dance, a party, ' 'Q a hay ride, or perhaps, a little ski-joring. gl Skiing on a starry night under a big full moon, surrounded by the rolling white vel- 1 ' ,lf ,f ,f vet hills, has proved to be an exhilarating experience for many, too. Besides all this, there is a club within a club for those who can successfully ski on the headwall at Mt. Washington and return to tell about it. The following boys have done well enough in skiing to be invited to Mt. Washington for a week-end and this automatically makes them members of the new and select group, 1 L v -Pj, 1 P f The Mt.

Each year of their successful growth under the watchful eye of Mr. Albert, the ski club members improve from Nschussboomersn to speedy Mboardsidersv with plenty of control. In February a meet was held at Dyke Mountain with the Deering High School skiers. Here, twenty-three participants from the Portland High School Ski Club made an excellent showing and, although they did not win first prize, they gained a great amount of enjoyment and experience from it.

S. baseball club has a very good chance to take the Tele- gram League Pennant this year, predicts Richard M. Jordan, well known baseball authority. A very good reason for this prediction was the returning of veterans Johnny Meader, Bert Perham, and Louie Waugh, infieldersg pitcher Carlo Tucci, and catcher Dick Jordan, Captain of the squad. The team started out by beating South Portland in a practice game, 10-5. However, they lost their first official game to the Capers, the defending champs, 8-3. They then won a tough game against Westbrook 8-7. Deering was the next opponent. Our tea1n's playing was far below par and we lost 6-1. The squad worked out the rough spots in their game and next de- feated Cheverus ll-2. Tucci's playing bafiied the Free Street Boys, and the fielding and hitting of the team was excellent. Lano got three hits including a triple at three times at bat. Portland plays each of these four teams three more times: South Portland, Westbrook, Deer- ing, and Cheverus. If they perform as well as they did during the Cheverus game, Mr. Jordan's prediction will certainly come true. i971 QW Left to right-Allen Andrews, Thomas Conley, James XVhee1er, Howard Rciche, Che 167116 ,Nzzfafars Large or small, Portland High School swimming teams under Coach Harold Paulson have always produced champions. This year proved no exception to the rule when a small squad of only four men went to the Maine Interscholastic swimming meet and returned with three championships. There were no Interscholastic League meets this year. However, the team did have an informal meeting with Bowdoin College at Brunswick, bowing to the older and more experienced college team. In the preliminaries of the State Meet, all four swim- mers qualified for the finals that evening. Our medley relay team of Wheeler, H. Reiche, and T. Conley won the first event, follow- ing it up with victories in the 100-yard breaststroke by H. Reiche and 100-yard haclcstroke by Wheeler. Andrews and T. Conley also placed in their events to boost Portland into third place with twenty- four points. The team was then hit by hard luck when Richard Loring, a standout diver and breaststroker, was lost to the Navy at the half.

Coach Ralph Corey was handicapped at the beginning of the season with a meager squad of inexperienced runners. Nevertheless, as the records show, they pro- gressed rapidly until at the close of the season the Portland High dalers were ranked with the best of the local high school teams. In the first meet the yet inexperienced dalers lost a tough contest to Deering on the Ram's own course by a score of 22-33. In the fol- lowing meet the veteran Gorham High Team on their own course outran the Blue to the tune of 22-34. Then the steadily improving cross-country squad met Deering for a second time on our own Oaks Course. This time the underdog Portland team turned the tables on the Purple runners, overwhelming them 19-38. Our team was com- posed of the following runners: R. Bishop, R. Emery, R. Richardson, R. Richardson, Studley, F. Howell, Manager, C. Bauld, R. Maller, J. Wilder, and R. Willey, with the first six traclcmen receiving letters. 1991 4 wx c.. 1?- Rmv 1-G. Galli, V.

Maybe you don't believe in the old superstition that seven is a lucky number, but the Blue Mounties have just completed their seventh year, which, incidentally, has been more than just plain successful. The girls look forward to Wednesday afternoon rides at Tomlinson's where they receive instructions in horsemanship. After a girl earns fifteen points, she receives her emblem of achievement and her blue gherkin. Among the club's activities have been the annual food sale and the Hallowe'en party and dance. The Blue Mounties combined forces with the Blue Lancers in welcoming the New Year by holding a joint hayride which was enjoyed by all. A group of riders plan to participate in the annual Horse Show, which takes place in May, when ribbons will be awarded to the outstanding participants. A Dutch dinner party will conclude the activities of 1944. To sum it up, the girls consider the club to have done very well this year and they are grateful to Mrs. Damren, their faculty adviser, and the club's officers, namely: Ruth Teed, President, Helene Wilkins, Vice-Presi- dent, Charlotte Lyons, Secretary, and Shirley B.

This year the Blue Lancers have really come into their own under the leadership of George Albert, faculty adviser. More and more boys have joined the club, attracted to it by the large variety of events and programs, such as Hallowe,en parties, various holiday sleigh-rides, and a skijore with the high school ski club, all held within the past year. The interest shown in the club by its members is expressed by the fact that at a recent two-week practice period the records showed a seventy-five percent average attendance. Martin Hopkins and Thomas Conroy won honors for our school at the annual horsemanship meet. The club is looking forward to a highly successful season next year.
