Theme: TREASURES He joyed of life's pleaxures All he could jindg Yet richest the treasures He found in his mind. Gelett Burgess ' VOLUME XXVI ' V PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL PORTLAND, MAINE ' 40 a . , ,l - Zfreword Zfrcasures of memories, treasures of fricmlsl11Qv! It is not the material things of life that avail a man in his future, but rather the intangibles and the imponderables-the deep seated emotions which control a man's way of thinking. One writer has said, We are so accustomed to counting, measuring, weighing that it is often difficult for us to realize that the most significant-the most far-reaching factors in our lives can not be measured-can not be weighed. A few friends and the daily task bring their own satisfactions. Through these benefits a man can truly develop his personality. The development of personality is worth far more in the long run than the acquisition of power or wealth. If a man can keep in his heart the memories and joys of his youth and of his friends, he will face each day with heartfelt gratitude. It is these past treasures of memory that play such a dominant role in the life of man. X s Y XX, .. I f?'AT's H A 'r X 0 .a,4f'd2,N92Ew.Q. . 5 -'I f Q., ii' uk 'Q ' i f 'ZH f X 5 4.

Gf Q' E715 Crcasurcs Of learning The Totem Board, searching deeply into its treasure chest of fondest memories, finds there the Portland High School Faculty. These men and women-teachers, counselors, and friends-have given most generously of their talents and of themselves during this trying post-war year. What might have been drudgery in the classroom has been lightened by the sympathetic understanding and patience of our faculty advisers. Often when we as pupils have faced some individual problem, either scholastic or personal, it has been the keen discernment and cooperation of our principal and our teachers that have helped us over the difficult way. Unstintingly these faculty members have given of their free time so that our leisure time might be more complete and pleasurable. Serving as advisers for extra-curricular activities, coaching or chaperon- ing, again and again, our Portland High School teachers have added to our treasures of education, friendship, and happiness.

Adelaide Lehan, Dean of Girls: Mr. Arthur W. Lowe, Principal UW Faint U16 Way The fundamental requisite for a treasure hunt, or for any voyage, is a pilot or a guide-some one to direct the seeker along the right way. One's high school education is a kind of treasure hunt, a seeking for the riches of the well-developed mind. The school is the vessel, the books are the nautical instruments, the teachers are the pilots who lead the ship safely into port. The pilots in Portland High School are headed by a triumvirate: Mr. Arthur W. Lowe, Principal, Mr. Lucien P. Libby, Sub-master, and Miss M. Adelaide Lehan, Dean of Girls, whose lives are dedicated to the educating of Young America. It is the wise counsel and the friendly advice of these three respected administrators that have made the experiences of high school so fine, so satisfying, and so abundant. iwi , , 'wwf .. , W1 . ft ,-sf ffm Chairs .75 ,4 Cask, i7udccd! Behind each galleon that sailed the seven seas of yesteryear, 'tis said there was left on shore a group of sturdy seamen, planning and making ready for the next voyage. The ship had to be outfitted with food, clothing, and all the necessities for a successful expedition. In Portland High School today there are some sixteen hundred seamen aboard the vessel of education. Behind this tremendous crew three outfitters, supplying the students and teachers with necessary equipment for a successful journey, are Mrs. Rena Dolley, secretary to Mr. Lowe, and the Misses Mary Conroy and Martha Thomes, office clerks. Scheduling of classes, attendance records, rank cards, and correspondence are only a few of the arduous tasks so graciously and efliciently performed hy this hard-working trio. Miss Martha M.

Such an all-round course is offered to the students of Portland High School under the able supervision of Miss Ruth L. Sturgis, head of the English Department. Sub-master Lucien P. Libby's English Literature Course provides one of the highlights of the school to the prose and poetry-minded youth, while Miss M. Adelaide Lehan, adds to her duties as dean of girls and faculty adviser to the senior class, by teach- ing college preparatory English. Other teachers in this department are Mr. joseph B. McDonnell, principal of Portland Evening School, Miss Frances M. Bigelow, German instructor and guiding hand for the PHS Junior Red Cross, Mr. H.

In the offices of the most enterprising concerns of our country is found the backbone of American industry-the accountant, the stenographer, the bookkeeper, and the typist. Only through the capable efforts of these indus- trious individuals can business become big, only through careful manage- ment of its books, only through correspondence of the finest quality, can a concern rise above its competitors. Heading the Commercial Department in Portland High School is Mr. William E. Chapin. Assisting him in the de- partment are Miss Esther Johnson, teacher of stenography and typewritingg Mr. Melbourne F. Means, Miss Hilda C. Ek, Miss Frances E. Haskell, Miss Genevieve G. Lowry, teachers of commercial subjectsg and Miss Ethel M. McCallum, teacher of commercial correspondence and arithmetic. It is in the hands of these perservering individuals that the future of American business lies, for their pupils are the hopes of the industrial world of to- morrow. Added to the scholastic duties of Mr. Chapin is also the important position of treasurer of the high school yearbook. THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT SEATEIJ: Mr. William E. Chapin, Miss Esther Johnson, Mr. Melbourne F. Means. STANDING: Miss Hilda C. Ek, Miss Frances E. Haskell, Miss Genevieve G. Lowry, Mrs. Evelyna B. Butman. THE LANGUAGE DEPARTMENTS SEATED: Mrs. Augusta B. Paine, Miss Eleanor F. Welch, Mrs. Margaret S. Burnham. STANDING: Mrs. Bertha Sorensen, Mrs. Doris H. Damren, Miss Florence H. Weeks. language Departments The world in which we live is no longer vast. Great distances have become as nothing, shortened by the marvels of modern transportation. Thus does America find itself in constant contact with other nations of the world, na- tions speaking tongues foreign to us. Teaching the pupils of Portland High School the fundamentals of modern and ancient languages are Miss Eleanor F. Welcli, head of the French Department, Mrs. Augusta B. Paine, head of the Latin Department, Mr. George H. Casey, head of the Spanish Depart- ment, Mrs. Doris Damren and Mrs. Bertha Sorensen, French, Mr. James A. Phair and Miss Florence Weeks, Spanish, Miss Frances M. Bigelow, Ger- man, and Mrs. Margaret Burnham, Latin. In addition to their teaching, Miss Welcli and Mrs. Damren serve as faculty advisers for the two PHS French Clubs, Mrs. Paine directs the affairs of the Latin Club, and Miss Bigelow is adviser for the Junior Red Cross Council. T141 U15 Industrial Arts Department The wonders of the age in which we live are wrought in the factories and manufacturing plants of our great nation. They are fashioned by human hands and human minds, a kind of teamwork between mental function and mechanical ability. The keel for this ship of enterprise is being laid in the shops of Portland High School. Foreman of the task is Mr. George Tappan Little, head of the Industrial Arts Department. Not content to conhne him- self to shop work alone, Mr. Little also doubles as treasurer of the PHS Athletic Association. His crew of vocational workers include Mr. Fred M. West, woodwork instructor, Mr. Cecil C. Farrar, printing instructor, from whose presses have come products of true art, Mr. Earlcott E. Tarr, auto- mobile mechanicsg W. Hayden Perkins, mechanical drawing, and Chester L. Cobb, machine mechanic. Thus it is, under the capable supervision of these men, that the future architects, mechanics, and draftsmen learn the funda- mentals of the career they have chosen to follow. THE INDUSTRIAL AND MECHANICAL ARTS DEPARTMENT STANIJING: Mr. W. Hayden Perkins, Mr. G. Tappan Little, Mr. Fred M. West. SEATED: Mr. Cecil C. Farrar, Mr. Chester L. Cobb, Mr. Earlcott E. Tarr. HOME ECONOMICS SEATED: Miss Lena Shorey, Miss Mary O,Connor, Miss Nona Concannon. STANDING: Miss E. May Tolman, Mrs. Ruth B. Wyman, Miss Madeline D. Kingsley. Home tkauomivs 'QThe way to a man's heart is through his stomachf, it has been said. If such is the case, and it is, there'll be some mighty heart-broken indi- viduals when the home economics pupils of Portland High receive their diplomas this June. Miss Lena E. Shorey is the supervisor of the PHS home economics staff, a staff which endeavors to make the statement that begins this paragraph a virtual certainty in the years to come. Assisting her in her duties are: Miss Nona Concannon, home economicsg Miss Made- line D. Kingsley, home economics and hygiene, Miss Margaret Tolman, cookingg Miss Ruth B. Wyman, home economics, and Miss Mary C. O'Connor, sewing. It is these ahle women that in theory, if not reality, prepare the breakfasts, the dinners, the luncheons, of the world of tomorrow. It is the pupils of these women who will mend the socks, roast the turkeys, and hoil the potatoes in just the right way in the not too distant future. i161 History Department Today throughout the world historians are recording momentous events for the study of future generations. Years ago other learned men registered the timely happenings of that day and age, happenings which are being taught by the history teachers of Portland High School. At the head of this vital department is Miss E. May Tolman, whose accounts of ancient history make the Golden Age of Pericles seem as real as 1946 A.D. Mrs. Mabel A. McDaniel, Mr. Ralph L. Corey, cross country mentorg Mr. James A. Sibson, football and baseball coach, comprise the trio teaching United States History. Mr. Sibson also serves as a teacher of civil government. Mr. Weston Walch teaches current history, English, economics and com- mercial law. In addition to these tasks Mr. Walch has served as coach of the highly successful PHS debaters. Miss Ella L. Pennell, adviser to the PHS Philatelic Society, teacher of European History and geography, and Mr. Lucien P. Libby, teacher of ancient history, complete the roster of those capable instructors of the events of years long since passed. THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT SEATED: Mrs. Mabel A. McDaniel, J.

Special Cearhcrs Special teachers-two words that could mean so much and two words, according to the accomplishments of the special teachers of Portland High School, that do mean so much to many an ambitious student of PHS. Mrs. Helen V. Robinson, school librarian, willingly assists many an eager pupil as he rambles through the pages of the Encyclopedia Britannica. Miss Bar- bara Wallace's helpful aid to the artists of Portland High may mean the difference between success and failure in the future for the would-be Disneys and Rockwells. Mr. Clinton W. Graffam and Mr. joseph L. Gaudreau wave the willowy baton as leaders of the Portland High band and orchestra. Sweet strains of music echo forth from the third floor music room when the boys' and girls' glee clubs assemble under the able tutorage of Miss Emily E. Chase and Miss Katherine M. Bartlett. Yes, special teachers, two small words, which truly outweigh their size in value. i131 Hmclzcs All hail the sound of marching feet -so starts the immortal marching song of Harvard University. The marching feet that graced the fertile Stadium turf in the fall of 1946, the marching feet that rounded third base in a desperate dash for home plate, the marching feet that ranked the Blue courtmen among the best, were not of the Cambridge collegians, but rather the victorious parading steps of the Portland High School athletic squads. jimmy Fitzpatrick, dean of the Blue coaching staff, again led his 1947 edition of the Little Boy Blues into the semi-finals of the Western Maine Scholastic Basketball tournament. Jimmy Sibson, for eleven years head mentor of the Bulldogs' diamond crews, piloted the Cumberland Avenue gridmen to a lofty position among the stateis pigskin powerhouses, as well as master-minding the diamondeers to another successful baseball campaign. George Albert, frosh basketball, ski club, and riding club helmsman, and Miss Joan Cosgrove, girls' sport leader, round out a quartet of athletic lead- ers that mold the competitive fortunes of Portland High. COACHES Mr. james j. Fitzpatrick, Mr. George M. Albert, Miss joan R. Cosgrove, Mr. James A. Sibson. THE MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE DEPARTMENT SEATED: Mr. Samuel C. Rosenthal, Miss Martha B. Hopkins, Mr. William W. Simonton, Miss Amy P. Wiswell. STANDING: Mr. Carl T. Stevens, Mr. Edgar A. Stoddard, Mr. john P. Conroy, Mr. Raynold L. Fuller, Mr. John F. McDaniel, Mr. William Ledger, Mr. Alfred Mallet. Mathematics and Science In a world of atomic energy, radar, and other revolutionary inventions that were developed as a result of World War II, mathematics and science must he considered as of the first magnitude if we are to hold our own in the world of tomorrow. Miss Martha B. Hopkins, mathematics, Mr. Samuel C. Rosenthal, chemistry, and Mr.,William W. Simonton, physics and navi- gation, head these vital departments which mold the scientific future of our America. Assisting them in this important task are Mr. james Fitzpatrick, hygiene, Mr. James E. Flanagan, arithmetic, Mr. Raynold L. Fuller, algebra and arithmetic, Mr. Alfred Mallet, science, Mr. John F. McDaniel, whose untiring efforts in behalf of the PI-IS Athletic Association add to his work in teaching mathmetics and arithmetic, Mr. Carl T.

E201 Che Goal is kcached Out of the deep waters of majestic Casco Bay there sails a vessel with a crew of nearly 300 bold seamen, seeking life's treasures,-success and happiness. For four years these future nurses and lawyers, chemists and writers, have been preparing for this experience on life,s uncertain seas. They are the treas- ure seekers of a new world, they are the class of 1946. As Captain Kidd boldly sought his treasure of glittering gold, so shall these young men and women follow a chart of edu- cation and rehnement, drawn for them by the teachers of Portland High School. The rewards of their labors will not be measured by the scales that weighed the gold of the Span- ish cavaliers of yesteryear-the bold and adventurous pirate lads. They shall Hnd the treasure they seek by faithfully fol- lowing the compass used so efficiently by men and women of Portland High in years gone by. Their taslc is hard, their vessel staunch, this class of ,46. min fi? . 1 ' f 'f sW . L sh 22 2 ku ,J gs. f.

Back in '42 a war was going on-had been for a year-and we were freshmen. Would we- could we-under these conditions make good like the classes before us? At once individuals rose to the challenge. And now, as an organized class with many outstanding personalities, we are graduating into a world slowly returning to peacetime normalcy. Among these outstanding personalities are Valedictorian, Elizabeth Thomesg Salutatorian, Ronald Kellamg D.A.R. award winner, Arlene Cookg co-editors of the Totem, Elwood Bigelow and Arnold Kuventg scientist-mathematician, Irving Grunes, sports editor of the Totem, Dick Oranskyg sportsmen, Andy Lano and Sammy Kaklegiang swimmer and skier, Howard Reicheg and some others outstanding in one way or another. To the Freshmen there lies a moral in this success-rise by your own efforts. Do not wait for the elevator. i241 SENIOR EXECUTIVE BOARD SEATED. left to right: Clesson Henningsen, Sally Driscoll, Sam Kalclegian STANDING. left to right: Patricia Harmon, Frances Harkins, Catherine Alexion SENIOR ROOM CHAIRMEN SEATED. left lo right: Shirley Adams, Edward jordan, Virginia Curran.

Superlafives Most Popular, Boys - The lad who came way ahead of all the rest to cop this honor was none other than that 'rugged football hero and our Senior Class President, Philip i'Phippy Dennis. Philip certainly needs no intro- duction. He has proven, by this selection, that he is a favorite not only with the fellows but with the ladies as well. Most Valuable, Girls-Hail to our valedictorian! Yes, Elizabeth Thomes is the girl who this year came out on top for this selection. She has not only built up a brilliant scholastic record during the past four years, but she has also excelled as one of Portland High's best debators. Following closely behind Miss Thornes were Shirley Adams and Shirley B. Kaplan. Best Looking, Boys- The handsome gentleman who walked off with this title is Howard C. Reiche, Jr. Howard, who has excelled not only scho- lastically but in swimming and football also, received many more votes than his nearest competitors. Those who know him will certainly agree that he deserved this honor, eh, girls? However, two other boys also came in for honorable mention-Ralph Delponte and Tony Hopkins. Best Athlete, Girls - Good things come in little packages. And Shirley B. Kaplan is definitely no exception. Shirley has led the way all through High School in the athletic field among the girls. Whether it's swimming or tennis, our diminutive Shirley is always there at the top, so it's no wonder that she was way in front when the linal votes were counted. Most Respected, Boys-Hats off to a grand fellow! Yes, we mean none other than Andy Mezoian, our dynamic little cheerleader. Andy has been very active throughout his school years, and it is very evident that what- ever he does in the future, he will be a great success. Following Tony for runner-up honors are Elwood Bigelow and Philip Naples. Best Dancer, Girls-By far, Marie Rozzi was the girl for this choice. Whether the music is red hot or sweet and soft, Marie leads all the others in this department. Everyone loves a smooth dancer, and if you wish to take a few lessons in the art of tripping the light fantasic, just call on Marie. Most Witty, Boys-Here he is again! Yes, indeed, that boy Mickey certainly gets around! He has the distinct honor of being the only student to gain two top superlative positions this year. There are not many who can match Mickey in verbal wit, as all those who-know him will testify. Dead- locking in a tie for second place were Arnold Kuvent and,Ronald Caron. Supcrlafilfcs Most Popular, Girls - There is no question as to who is the most popular girl in the class of 1946, since the great majority of votes went to Virginia Curran, whose sweet smile and pleasant disposition are well-known to all her classmates. Ginny has always been very popular with everyone during her years at Portland High School. Also in the race were Anita Romano, who came in second, and Shirley Adams who took third place in the polling. Most Valuable, Boys-It could not have happened to a better fellow! That's what everyone is saying about Clesson Mickey Henningsen's being selected as most valuable among the boys here at Portland High. Mickey has certainly won a place in the hearts of all who know him. He was closely followed in the voting by a trio of Seniors, namely, Arnold Kuvent, Elwood Bigelow, and Ronald Kellam. Best Looking, Girls-The selection for best looking went this year to Louise Strout who led everyone in that department by a big margin. And to anyone who has ever seen her, there can be not the slightest doubt as to the wisdom of the voting. Following in a second place tie for the beauty selection were Lorraine Cushing and Peggy Berry. Best Athlete, Boys -The laurels this year go to one of the best three-star athletes Portland High School has ever had-Andy Lano. During his four years here, Andy has excelled in all sports and is respected by all who know him. Another boy who has earned the title of one of Portland High's best athletes is sharpshooter Sammy Kaklegian. Most Respected, Girls- The choice for most respected went to one of the sweetest and best-liked girls in the Senior Class, Shirley Adams. Those who voted for Shirley definitely made the right' choice, for she is one of the most well-known girls in Portland High. With her personality, she will go a long way in her career. Close behind Shirley in the runner-up positions were Arlene Cook and Irma Reed. Best Dancer, Boys - A great mistake is made by many who believe that an athlete is liable to be rather clumsy on a dance floor. And in Kenneth Waks, case this is particularly true, for Kenny is one of the smoothest dancers to be seen in these parts, and his athletic ability is also worthy of note. Close on Kenny's heels were Herbert Ring and Arnold Kuvent. Most Witty, Girls - The vote for most witty among the girls was given to that ever-busy Rita Panagakos, and the selection was a wise one. Rita always has some witticism on the tip of her tongue and is a lot of fun to have around. Tying for second place honors were Julia Halloran and Theresa Beaudry.

Q 9 S 3,3 id' V U16 Zreasure Hay kevcalcd All that glistens is not gold does not apply when the underclassmen of Portland High School form the glittering substance in mind. A race treasure, indeed, is the work they have accomplished in the short time they've been in the school. The greatest prize of all lies before them-the completion of a treasure hunt begun when they entered these corridors as members of the freshman class. Diligent and hardy seamen are these spirited youths as they wave high the banner of their galleon great. That banner is the blue pennant of their Alma Mater. Their treasure so far is their active participation in and hearty support of the many courses of study and extra- curricular activities offered by the school. These underclassmen are cheering their teams on to greater glory on the sun-baked stadium turf, they are rolling up high grades in the classrooms of P.I-l.S. In short, they have begun a quest which will be only partly satisfied when graduation comes. Its ultimate com- pletion will come as these seekers from the classes of 1946, '47, ,48 and ,49 achieve their goals in life. llndfrclassmeu l-19.5. ,z N., ' 'XKQJ !,,A!

Saphamore 611155 The common garden seed is a treasure. Perhaps not in its current form, but it will grow with the passage of time into a majestic and wondrous treas- ure of beauty. Potentially it offers much to the would-be-seeker of rich rewards. The seeds of life have been sown for the class of 1948. Even now the budding blossom presents a prophecy of years to come. Joe Martell, clever sophomore athleteg Charlotte Judelshon, youthful counterpart of Lily Pons and student-extraordinaryg debaters Leon Berkowitz and Richard Gott-these are the prospective treasures of years to come. Norma Salim, Anne Leach, and Caroline Jacques have distinguished themselves as capa- ble Hi-Lights, reporters. Johnny DiBiase and Stan Kopaclc are a duo of famed footballers, seeking treasure on the fields of friendly strife. The seeds are numerous,-numerous and ambitious. Watch them grow. Soon P.H.S. and the world will harvest the treasures whose seeds were sown in these halls. im Qrrshmau 6111.95 Long ago when renowned adventurers sailed forth on treasure quests, there were usually aboard the wind-driven vessels what we today call appren- tice seamen. They were learning the trade. Tomorrow they would be the swashbuclcling captains, the gallant first mates. They were the potentially great. Such apprenticeship is offered today to the potentially great members of the Freshman Class. Already they have begun to distinguish themselves. Individuals are beginning to stand out above the rank and file of those uncertain, somewhat timid boys and girls who entered the school last Sep- tember. There's Fred Fillinger, ace of unquestioned 'ability as a football and swimming performer. Albert Caterina, Harley Johnson, and James Camp- bell are the Blue Bulldogs of the years to come. Eugenia Salamone, Betty Haines, and Sylvia Caron are excelling in I-Ii-Lights' circulation worlc. Guy Hadloclc, has more than proved his worth as a reporter for the school news- paper.

Important One of the greatest and most successful treasure finders in all the history of treasure-trove was a Maine-born man- William Phips. This extraordinary son of the Pine Tree State sailed again and again amidst the scenic isles of Portlancl's Casco Bay. But that was in the days when silver-laden galleons shivered their timbers on treacherous reefs, you say. To be sure, it was. Phip's treasure was simply treasure hunting. How- ever, your treasure may not be to sail the bounding main in search of golden Spanish coins. You may uncover great wealth on the basketball court, on the staff of a school yearbook, in further educational discoveries in the French or Latin Clubs- to be brief, there are treasures all around us even today in the year 1946. You not only might do all this, you do-as wit- nessed by the pages to follow. In the corners and hallways. the classrooms and gymnasiums of Portland High are found treasures as great as ever graced the galleons of the daring Mr. Phips. ,flat if Ties M in U in lx . l-if 'tv dig?

Twelve hundred persons attended the lecture in the high school auditorium, which was preceded by a luncheon given in Mrs. Craigls honor by the staffs of the two publications. The annual drive for subscriptions for the 1946 yearbook was spearheaded by a special assembly arranged by members of the staff. The rally and the five day intensive drive which followed were responsible for the sale of many subscriptions.

However, we did take honorable mention in several events. The team, consisting of Shirley Kaplan, Caroline Jaques, Richard Gott, Leon Berkowitz, Aphrodite Doukas, Philip Jenkins, George Reef, Samuel Pasciencier, and Ronald Kellam, won all eight of its debates at the South Portland Practice Tournament. Shirley Kaplan and Philip Jenkins placed third in the Bowdoin Interscholastic Debating League. In the National Forensic League the team, by one vote, failed to get into the semi-finals. However, Shirley Kaplan won the National Forensic League,s New England Oratorical Contest. Cheverus won the Bates Debat- ing League this spring, Portland High being defeated in the first round. Nevertheless, Shirley Kaplan and Richard Gott were both chosen best speaker in their respective debates. Since three of the varsity debaters are sophomores and have two more years in which to win the treasured cups for Portland High, Mr. Walch still has hope for the future.

Che Gurtaiu Rises The Senior Class Play of 1946, Smilin' Through, was a smash hir! According to various critics, it was the best performance ever presented in the Portland High School auditorium. The play was given on two evenings, April 11th and 12th, with a different cast each night in order to give more seniors an opportunity to demonstrate their dramatic ability. And ability it proved to bel Each senior taking part appeared to be cool and assured and as several in the audience were heard to remark 'lone would think they had been on the stage for years. Congratulations, fellow classmates, for a job well done! Much credit, as we all know, should be given to Mrs. Leota Rowe whose patience and perseverance alone were responsible for the mar- velous success of the play.

Hands ,flrross U16 Sm The greatest treasure obtainable today is world peace. Mankind has sought for years this prized possession. Only through knowledge of our interna- tional neighbors can we ever attain such a degree of universal tranquility. Playing an important part in the educating of American youth to know their French neighbors are the two Portland High School French Clubs under the faculty supervision of Miss Eleanor F. Welch and Mrs. Doris H. Damren. Elwood Bigelow is president of the senior group and Richard Butwell heads the junior division. Secretary of the Four-Year Club is Cather- ine Alexiong vice president, Frances McGonagleg and secretary, Ida Pinanslcy. These round out the governing slate of the junior French group. One of the most entertaining portions of the senior meetings is the usual offering of French melodies with such talented singers as Catherine Alexion, Barbara Murphy, Norma Parlin, Natalie Bancroft, and Jacqueline Lessard partici- pating. Both groups play French games, requiring a good knowledge of the language, and discuss important phases of French life. mi ,4 View of the Ancients People do not change much! Fundamentally men and women of the Augustan Age faced life with the same outlook as men and women of the twentieth century. They needed the same basic requirements for en- durance as their 1946 counterpart of today also needs. Examples of such a statement are only a few of the many interesting and informative topics discussed when the Portland High School Latin Club with Mrs. Augusta B. Paine as faculty adviser, hold their meetings. One of the highlights of this year's varied program has been the addition of visual education to the club. The entire club, seniors, juniors, and sophomores alike viewed the film, Last Days of Pompeii. Christmas parties, scrapboolcs for the seniors on the subject of Virgilian Art, exhibitions of war implements, discussions on ancient Roman government, and slides are but a portion of the projects undertaken by this conscientious organization. Outstanding members of this year's club include Shirley Goffin, Frances McGonagle, William New- comb, Natalie Bancroft, and Mary Lou Forsythe. Theirs is the art of show- ing that the days of Julius Caesar are much like those of 1946 A.D.

This seems to be the goal of our enthusiastic exponents of the Fine Arts at Portland High School. Piloted by Edward Klewiada, president, and Miss Barbara Wallace, faculty adviser, these prom- ising artists of tomorrow have really attacked things in a big way this year, as they have sought deeply for the treasures of beauty as revealed by the brush and pen. The club undertook several projects, including oil paintings and posters, Its great work was in painting the unusually beautiful scenery for the Senior Play. Other oliicers of the club year have been Virginia Clayton, vice president, Barbara Knight, treasurer, and Roberta White, sec- retary. Not only the technique of the paint brush and pencil are being mastered by this eager group, but also the power of observing art in all its details. T701 Serving 9ar Humanity All through the year, this energetic group of Red Cross members has been constantly carrying out their various programs of worthwhile activities. Under the faculty advisory of Miss Frances M. Bigelow and student chair- man Leon Berkowitz all of the council's activities have met with success. The first project of the year, the annual Roll Call, was completed with huge success when nearly every room in the school reported 100'Zw. Other projects throughout the year were the knitting of an afghan for one of the local hospitals, a drive for buttons in conjunction with the local chapter of the Red Cross, and the raising of money by selling P.H.S. stickers and buttons. The council has as its adopted institution Opportunity Farm at New Gloucester, Maine. Various gifts are given to the children there on such holidays as Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter. The council plans to end the year by assembling a show and visiting the farm. RED CROSS COUNCIL SEATED: Howard Reiche, Judith jenkins, Leon Berkowitz, Frances McGonagle. STANDING!

U16 Odyssey - 1946 The time has come again for a Washington Club! For the first time since the outbreak of the war, the annual trip to beautiful Washington was made by a group of pupils from both Portland and Deering High Schools. Here at Portland High, the Washington Club had as its president Clesson Mickey Henningson, with Arlene Cook, vice president, Olive Libby, secretary, and Richard Oransky, treasurer. This Portland High group was chaperoned by Miss Adelaide Lehan. Nearly 30 pupils from the Cumber- land Avenue center of knowledge took part in the upilgrimagen which left Union Station on April 29. While enjoying a brief stay in New York, before moving over to Washington, the group was given a special treat- an evening of singing by Jo Stafford. To those who were fortunate enough to make the trip, it was an adventure and a thrill that will long be remem- bered. Let us hope that this will be an annual event from now on, for it is always treasured as one of the pleasantest memories of our four years. i72Il 55 Y' 7.

Of course the first songs of which we have record are those of savage people. In America the first sing- ing was no doubt done by the Pilgrims and that singing naturally centered about the church. A number of choral societies and singing schools were organized in the 18th and 19th centuries ancl thus, from the beginning of time, came songs. Nearly every high school and college has its Glee Club and not the least of these is Portland High. Our Glee Club has done a marvelous job not without much hard work this ast ear.

Under the capable leadership of Clinton W. Graffam, Jr., the orchestra has this year given outstanding per- formances on various occasions, including the school assemblies, the Senior Class Play, also on May 11th at the Western Maine Music Festival at San- ford. We call attention, in addition to these, to the annual Band-Orchestra Concert held in the P.H.S. auditorium during the winter which was a great success. We must keep in mind that none of these occasions would have been possible without long, hard hours of work by members of the group and I am sure that we all agree that our hearty appreciation and thanks should be extended to the school orchestra! n E743 PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL BAND Fmsr Row, left to right: Margaret Brady, Allan Seavey, William Mooradian, Victor Catir, Starr Balomenos, Richard Catir, Anthony Mezoian, Marilyn Ried.

I think we are all agreed that it would be a strange existence-and an extremely dull one too. The music of a band is always particularly inspiring as it is very lively and the horns and drums remind one of marching which to young and old alike is a delight. The Portland High School Band, under the able direction and leadership of Joseph L. Gaudreau, has had a very successful season, including appearances at football games, rallies, the Cadet Ball and very recently it represented Portland at the Western Maine Music Festival in Sanford. We would like, at this time, to extend our appreciation and thanks to the P.H.S. Band which has added so much to our four years here! We shall always remember in later years what a thrill it was to hear voices blended in Wearers of the Blue accompanied by the Band. fm CADETS FIRST Row: William Moores, Dennett Marsh, William Goulett, Donald Drislzell, joseph Lf-rman.

Wlaucuvers Portland High School has its own army-the PHS Cadet corps which has worlced diligently throughout the past year. Every Monday and Wednes- day morning these Right About Facen boys have perfected their maneuvers in order to malce a good showing at the annual Cadet Ball to be held April 26 in the Exposition Building. At that time Portland will compete with Deering for the best company and the best battalion awards. The corps this year has had more than 109 members formed into three companies. The adviser to the commanding staff is Capt. William Carey, a discharged Veteran. Out- standing members of the staff are seniors, who have earned their rank through four years of hard work. The staff for the year is as follows, Major William Goulet, Adjutant Philip Wilson, Regimental Adjutant Wesley Brett, Captain Dennis Marsh of Company E, Captain Donald Drislcell of Com- pany F, and William Moores of Company G. i761 Klzecrlcaders As the Blue Bulldogs drive the length of the field, their opponents quiver- ing from the hone-crushing attack, on the sidelines, ten harbingers of school spirit in the first magnitude lead cloud-clearing yells of moral support. The lads and lassies are the lively PHS cheerleaders, whose energy and spirit are as much a part of a pigskin tussle as peanuts and pop, pennants and jimmy Sibson. Heading this year's squad is diminutive Andy Mezoian, the mighty mite with the accent on acrobatic antics. His crew of yell leaders includes Anita Romano, Dick Butwell, Rita Panagakos, Leonard Stevens, Peggy Berry, Agnes Damon, Leonard Silver, and Sylvia Gengeras. Coaching this group of school-spirited individuals is Francis E. Connor. A tip of the Stetson to the cheerleaders of Portland High, who, win or lose, score or fumble, are always on hand with that much-needed moral support, that unexplainable something that makes a fellow fight with all he,s got on his own Hve-yard stripe and no chance of a victory in sight.

'24 Fanny Sami zz Penny 8z1r14cd The school savings bank under the supervision of its faculty adviser Miss Hilda Ek has continued to develop the habit of thrift among the students. Tuesday of each week is the day set aside as official bank-day. Many of the deposits are for the convenience of the students who save for such school expenses as Totem, Junior Prom, Washington trip, or graduation, although many students plan their accounts for use as a source of income for the proverbial rainy day. The bank stands ready to handle all deposits from one cent to infinity. The method of accounting is exactly the same as that in the regular bank and every account of one dollar or more is transferred to a regular account in the Nlaine Savings Bank. Three days are set aside for Totem collections. On these days Totem sub- scribers pay for their book either all at once or in installments. The tellers for the year picked from the high ranking students in the accounting classes were Louise Ferrante, Doreen Stone, Theresa Stone, and Dorothy Place. i781 lim 'Q' BOYS' RIDING CLUB LEFT T0 Rluirr: Richard Moody, Howard Lowell, William Lucas.

Super Stamp Students The PHS Philatelic Society headed by Shirley Micohen, president, and Miss Ella L. Pennell, faculty adviser, inaugurated several new features in its program during the past year. Its largest project was a PHS pencil sale when live-wire salesmen from the club aided by seatroom chairmen, staged a mammoth one-day sale of blue and white pencils. The club this year through the courtesy of Miss Robinson, librarian, became a subscriber to Mclceel's Weekly Stamp News and adopted a philarelie question and answer program for each meeting. Social activities included a Christmas party and a treasure hunt. Field trips included a visit to the Hobby Shop on Middle Street, a trip to the Post Office for stamp inspection, and a visit to the Stamp Store at Woodfords. The annual stamp exhibit in May was, as usual, the most important event on the club calendar. Fourteen active and twenty-six honorary members have made up the membership roster during the past year. Other officers are Leon Berkowitz, vice president, Zinas Mavodones, secretary, and Sylvia Micohen, treasurer. i801 Veterans The outhrealc of World War Two not only disrupted life in general, but it also interrupted the education of millions of young men all over the nation. Now that the war has ended, many of these same men have returned to finish their schooling which they left in order to rid the world of Fascism. Portland High School is proud and honored to have many of these veterans back among their classmate. Some of these boys will leave when they have finished a type of refresher course,,' while others will remain longer in order to complete those subjects that they were forced to abandon tempo- rarily. These young men have won the admiration and respect of all of us, as well they should. Were it not for them, we would not have the privilege of going to school in a free country. So to all the veterans we proudly say, Welcome home! VETERANS Returning war vets fmcl Portland Highs halls still a welcome sight.

This year's championship meet was held in the Brunswick pool, home of ex-champs, Brunswick High, who have won the title for the past three years. Many of the top swimmers this year were underclassmen, making the outlook for 1947 very bright, Captain Howard Reiche, will be the only senior to leave this year's squad. Reiche was beaten in dual competition this year in the breast stroke. Those who backed Reiche up this year were Fred Fillinger, freshman sensation who was a double winner in the state meet, Stan Shepard, a junior, and the meet's other two-man winner, Roger Ayers, also a junior, Melvin Newcomb, a sophomore, and Sooran Babigian, a freshman.

Skiers Haw l6'usy Season The Portland High School Ski Club ended its fourth season in a blaze of glory. Led by genial George Albert, the club this year made many trips and initiated a host of newcomers. The week-end ski jaunts and the vacation trips to Mount Washington and the Glen House will long be remembered. Many top skiers have come down the hills, including President Herb Cushing, Carl Raymond, Lorraine Conley, Martha Stevens, Pat Kilmartin, Howard Reiche, Phil Naples, and countless others. The Ski Club, organized in 1942 with only a few poorly-equipped mem- bers, has now risen to an all-time high of 65 well-equipped schussboomers. Trips this year have been to Pleasant Mountain, North Conway, Douglas Hill, Hurricane Slope, Gorham, Stroudwater, and of course, Mount Wasli- ington, the skiers' paradise. i913 A I GIRLS' SWIMMING FRONT Row, left to right: Kaplan, Adams, Lawrence, Libby, Matson, Guidi, Baker, Thomas, Caron, Harthorne, Caleb, McLeod, Brooks, Sackley, and Walker.

This year in the pool and on the court the girls of Portland I-Iigh School have excelled in various sports. A shining example is Shirley Kaplan, a senior who has six-hundred points to her credit when only three hundred are required to receive a sweater. Miss Kaplan has served as student man- ager to the girls' swimming team for three years and has completed the Red Cross Life-Saving Course. During the past season seventy-two girls signed up for swimming alone and many more turned out for riding, skiing, basketball, badminton, tennis, and softball. As a result, many hard-earned sweaters will be awarded to the seniors Rita Panagakos, Sally Driscoll, Patricia Kilmartin, Natalie Bancroft, and to some juniors, including Dolores Amergian, Alice Boyce, Bernice and Eliza- beth Cribby, Virginia Friedel, Rita Harthorne, Diane Kenney, and June Williams. Ar the end of the year sixty-five girls will receive some sort of award for their athletic accomplishments, awards to be treasured for the rest of their lives. i921 GIRLS' BASKETBALL SQUAD FRONT Row. left to right: McLeod, Harthorne, Howell, Gengeras, Salamone, Coffee, Bridges, Lerman SECOND Row: Caleb, Amergian, Thims, Freiclel, Boyce, Cribby, Cribby, and Williams.

That's America. Simply and bluntly, those are just a few of the many little reasons that make us glad we possess the greatest treasure conceivable-life in a democracy. That junior Prom, football rally, or trip to Saco to view a gridiron tussle-little things, perhaps, in material value, but quite a large page in a folio of youthful memories. These pages that follow depict such scenes, views of the student body and faculty members of Portland High School in lighter moments of the day. In short, these are the trifies, the insig- nihcants, that make us glad we went to Portland High, glad that we obtained the treasures of life in general.
