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. Thombs, Mrs. Rena M. Dolley, Miss Mary J. Conroy.

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
