By the time they have reached their senior year, they, like Pinocchio, have acquired experience and act on their own with the teachers now as directors of this stirring drama of edu- cational life. For four short years the seniors have practiced for their part in the drama, entitled Life, but playing, and playing well, a prominent role in the less complex play of high school. During these years they have been carefully trained and directed and have rehearsed five days a week, thirty-eight weeks a year. No drama calls for as much preparation as does the drama of life. But now, as graduation day bursts forth in all its splendor some three hun- dred PHS seniors are ready to step down from the stage of Portland High School onto the rostrum of the world to continue their career of acting in a more important character-that of men and women. So while the curtain drops on the final act of high school, the seniors have a yet greater produc- tion before them in which they must succeed. And having received the excel- lent instruction of Portland High School teachers, they cannot fail. They will not fail for always shall they remember that all the world's a stage and they, the men and women of today, its players. S in

Miss Martha B. Hopkins Dedication The 1948 Totem Staff gratefully dedicates this book to Miss Martha Hopkins, for many years the head of the Department of Mathematics at Portland High School. Her understanding, sincere friendship and righteous guidance have helped the students of PHS to gain success, not only in the field of mathematics but in all fields and ways of life. Her unusual influence has been felt not only byhher classes but by the entire student body. This influence and her friendship were the outstanding contributions of this edu- cator. who for so many years has been one of the most beloved and valuable members of the faculty. Although this year Martha Hopkins has retired from her life on the stage of Portland High School, she will continue to play a prominent role in the lives of those who cultivated the fruitful seeds of knowledge, which she has so generously sown.
