In a Word, to let the spiritual, unhidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to he my symphony. -WILLIAM HENRY CHANNING VOLUME XXX PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL PORTLAND, MAINE ALLAN COOK AND RALPH LEVI, Co-editors' MISS BARBARA JOHNSON, Faculty Adviser Prelude O each of us life is like a grand musical composition divided into various movements . . . a symphony composed by the Great Creator. As the musician seeks harmony in the sublime profound regions of expressive music, each of us in our own lives, seeks out consonance and joins in concord the permanent bond between human life and fine music. Thus at Portland High School our four years of study and enjoyable fel- lowship combine into an enthralling symphony of four movements. Our introduction, full of gayety and vigor, portrays both the fast moving reception of the group by the school and our blending into the school routine during our freshman year . . . Allegretto - The Greeting On realization of our individual parts in this true life symphony we settled down to conscientious endeavor and so created the second movement our sophomore year . . . Cantabile - Fine Achievement Through Study Under the baton of the faculty we concentrated our efforts and approached the climax of the now predominating symphony. Our minds more easily grasped the varied and mystifying essence of the vast world surrounding us. Through the third movement we transmitted this vigorous feeling of under- standing . . . NFO rtissimo' l With the Hnale of our symphony in view and lofty notes echoing the thoughts of accomplishments, friends and future plans, our student sym- phony members raised their instruments of education and self confidence and the vibrating tones of majestic brilliance resounded with the fourth and Hnal movement . . . Grandiose', - in Caps and Gowns 1123 Dedication The Staff of the 1949 TOTEM gratefully dedicates this edition to three teachers, Miss Amy P. Wiswell, Miss E. May Tolman and Miss Frances E. Haskell, who are retiring after serving many years as beloved members of the faculty. It will, indeed, be difiicult to find new educators to H11 the gap created by the departure of these fine women. Their combined service was more than 75 years of teaching in PHS. Miss Wiswell, in her biology classes explained Dame Nature's wonderful ways. Her devotion to her subject and her delightful dry humor were an ever delight to her students. Miss Tolman, for many years, head of the Department of History, also taught love for one's fellow beings and to her many ufolksiesv the inspiring philosophy taught by this unusual teacher remains as much in their memories as her wonderful tales of early civilization. Miss Haskell with fingers as nimble as a great pianistis, imparted to her pupils her knowledge of the typewriter keyboard, along with a zest for living and a credo for friendliness. just as the notes in a symphony are arranged to produce harmony so did these three teachers bring about harmony in their classrooms. Like strains of a familiar melody, they will linger in our memories. li 3 il 1 X4 5 6 Administration 4 WXMMWQM' Dr. Harrison C. Lyseth Eompvsiug Suzi .,.. Dr. Harrison C. Lyseth, popular and capable Superintendent of Schools, and his friendly, eflicient workers in City Hall draw up the master pattern for the school system of which Portland Citizens can be justly proud. DR. LYSETH'S STAFF Standing-Mrs. Marion Eastman, Mrs. Helen Burnard, Miss Pauline Smith. Seated-Mrs. Norma Saunders. E81 Assisting Dr. Lyseth are Miss Pauline H. Smith, newly appoint- ed assistant to the superintend- ent, Mrs. Marion W. Eastman, secretary, Mrs. Norma Saund- ers, Mrs. Blanche T. Webster and Miss Evelina Federico, clerks, Fred M. West, superintendent of school buildings, Karl V. Palmer, attendance officer and Robert F. Slcillings, accountant. In a city the size of Portland with its many schools, the super- intendent of schools has a diffi- cult job. It is to the credit of Dr. Lyseth and his staff of com- petent assistants that the Port- land School department functions so smoothly. BIG THREE---Principal Howard C. Reiche, Sub-Master Theodore S. Johnson, Dean of Girls Miss Adelaide Lehan. . . . . Arranging Sing? Last year Principal Howard C. Reiche and Submaster Theodore S. John- son were introduced to the Portland High School faculty and student body as its new administrators. Since that time Mr. Reiche and Mr. Johnson have won the admiration and respect of everyone in the school for , MR' RFICHES GFFICE STAFF , Miss Mary Conroy, Miss Joan Pouliot, Mrs. Martha Cummings their friendly, kindly considera- tion of our mutual problems. Their magnetic personalities and friendly ways have contrib- uted to a large extent in making the students' days at P. H. S., memorable ones. Completing the administrative picture is Miss M. Adelaide Le- han, Dean of Girls. Miss Lehan, an essential part of the directing triumvirate with her superior Way of' dealing with the problems of the girls, will always be remem- bered for her poised easy-going manner and her endless patience.

Breathes here a senior of Portland High Who never to himself did sigh This is my school-a swell place-yet It has one trait which I regret. Its teachers are so awfully smart That I'm discouraged from the start! Now if they weren' t so wise.and stern QWhere my homework is concerned! ,Twould be ideal not nuttin to lem No tests in poetry or English lit., No gems from Hamlet to remember, No conjugating of French verbs, fNor Latin for that matter! No squaring roots, cubing angles Memorizing tan and cos Because there simply is no point In doing this, you know! Often when that still small voice, Which we' re not supposed to heed Said, concentrate on softball That's more your speed Or She's giving a pajama party. That's a date to keep Many of Us listened-now we weep! I repeat at this point-Our teachers are good! Knowing different ones best, we like dilferent ones most Admiring all unanimously-we now propose a toast We've always found them capable, confident, clever We leave them with sincere regrets But forget them! Never!

But when this same pupil graduates the TOTEM becomes more than just a book. It becomes the re- corder of his high school memories. The task of compiling the 1949 TOTEM fell upon the shoulders of Co- editors Allan Cook and Ralph Levi. These two boys and a fine supporting editorial staff under the direction of Miss Barbara Johnson, faculty adviser, spent many hours putting together a yearbook which would give a true picture of life at Portland High School during thecurrent year. Among the others giving of their time and abilities to make the TOTEM a success were Associate Editors, Aphrodite Doukas, Lois Dickson, Norman Beller, Gretchen Reiche, Guy Hadlock and John Gallig Sports Editors Arnold Green and Jeannette Carrong Staff writers Nancy Douglas, Char- lotte Troubh, Maurice I-light, Leonard Bernstein, Samuel Pasciencier, Arturo Caliandro, Bruno Calianclro, Arthur Kelley, Sylvia Caron, Shirley Goldberg, Mignonette Marsh, Cashiers, Carl Harris, Joseph Rigo, Catherine Rutherford. The business end of the TOTEM has been successfully carried on by Senior Carl Harris, business manager, John Fortier, advertising manager, Arturo Caliandro, Catherine Rutherford, Helen Wood. In addition to the publishing of the annual, the staff presented its annual Totem Assembly and the third annual Audition Alley.

The money which is received from advertising along with the money paid by subscribers con- stitutes the greater amount of revenue. These dollars are the ones which pay the printer, the photographer, and any other bills which are incurred. It is not the easiest thing in the world to solicit ads. Much shoe leather is worn out and many phone calls are made before the tremendous job is com- pleted. This job demands time and people who are willing to do real hard work.

This year's version of Club 304 under the leadership of Mel Lerman, presidentg Bob Stone, vice-president, Joan Soleslci, secretaryg and Joan Mas- alin, treasurer, presented an excellent minstrel show early in the year, proving that Art isn,t its only talent. In April the Club held a ureal fine Splash Party in the YMCA, and in May, the Art Club sponsored one of the season's most successful dances. Thus, these extrovert-artists, while enjoying themselves and cultivating their talent have also helped support other activities with true school spirit, energy and ability. i641 JUNIOR RED CROSS Left to Right-Guy Hadlock, Samuel Bleier, Gloria Koenig, Corinne Flaherty.

Starting off at an allegro pace in September the council made gift boxes for many European children. This project did not bring the song to a double bar, but continued on with a great crescendo as with tremendous energy these willing workers prepared more boxes-this time for the boys at Opportunity Farm-an annual project. The Christmas vacation was a mere twelve measure rest for the council because at the resumption of school the members jumped to the coda and put on a colorful l'Sadie Hawkins dance. With President Gloria Koenig conductingg Sally Rich-taking the assistant conductor's job as vice presidentg Secretary-treasurer Ruth Kenney keeping the books and Faculty Adviser, Miss Frances Bigelow taking a difficult obligato part, the work was maintained at an even tempo during the year.

Their alternates are Georgia Kourakos, Norma Beller, Jean Bruce, Audrey Wood, Carolyn Cavallaro, Donna Libby and Catherine Hassen. Under the able leadership of Francis E.

Stamp glllb Under the guidance of Miss Ella L. Pennell, the P.H.S. Philatelic Society has enjoyed an extremely successful year. Gordan Cote, as president, held the baton and directed the members in their 1949 activities. The agenda included a stamp exhibit for the Parent-Teachers Association in February, and immediately following that came the ever-popular pencil sale. In May, the club held its annual stamp exhibit. Another feature on the program was the selection of a new emblem from designs and ideas formulated by the members. The club consists of two types of membership, honorary and active. The active members lend their support in a pecuniary manner, and the honorary members donate theirs by furnishing stamps, clippings, and other things necessary for club maintenance. Portland High School can well be proud of this well-knit organization by holding its enthusiastic members as a symbol of industriousness. i681 7.8: HI - Y CLUB Front Row, left to Wight-Guy Hadlock, Richard Foye, Phil Cunningham, Eugene Altman, Auturo Caliandro, John Galli Back Row-QHarold Thomas, Robert Acosta, Gordon Prescott, Theodore Ballis, Gordon Cote, Franklin Grant, Richard Bragdon ' Raymond Barker, Edwin Towle, Edwin VVinship, Me1'vin Leary.

'lCon molto spirito the club members have worked hard and have brought sweet notes of praise and thanksgiving to the lips of the people benehted by their good deeds. The major project of each year, was to present the school with a gift. While adviser Clifford A. Blake sang the melody, these energetic boys harmonized beautifully to complete with a great deal of modesty -many Worthy projects. Helping maestro Cunningham conduct this splendid group were Vice- President Richard Foye, Secretary Eugene Altman, Treasurer Guy Hadlock and Chaplain Arturo Caliandro. To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character is the motto the Hi-Y members are living up to. Realizing that the youth of America are tomorrows' leaders, the club is doing much to develop the minds and bodies of boys so that they may fulfill this great task ahead of them. i69l no.

Unfort- unately, several seniors, including Arthur Kelley, Carmine Leo, Helen Ek, Eleanor St. Angelo, Katherine Doe, Starr Balomenos, and Ralph Levi, will be leaving the orchestra in Juneg but if as many good Freshmen come in next fall as did last fall, the conductor, Clinton L.

Arthur Kelley and Arthur Komar have won free trips to New York City, the former appearing on a nation-wide broadcast.

H., it looked like another successful season for the footballers of Coach Jimmy Sibson. Our Blue Bulldogs kept right on rolling, and the following week slapped arch rival Deering by a 7-0 score. Then - Edward Little High of Auburn paid a visit to our gridmen, and disregarding all rules of etiquette, humbled them by a one-sided 34-7 tally. The Sibsonmen couldn't quite bounce back from the Edward Little shellacing, and the next week Bangor's Rams squeezed by our Blueboys by 13-7. Portland then hit the win trail again, by thumping Cony High, 18-9, and following the Cony triumph, Al Caterina led the Bulldogs to a 7-7 tie with Lewiston's powerful Blue Streaks. The next game, against underdog Cheverus, turned out to be Han underdog-has-his-dayl' affair, for the Irish pushed across one T.D. and U81 then settled down to ,a tight defense that the Sibsonmen couldn,t penetrate for a score. Thus the final score was Cheverus 6, Portland 0. The final win of the season for the Bulldogs came on October 30, when they trounced perennial jinx Thornton Academy, 26-13. Then the Blue absorbed a solid 27-0 setback against South Portland, and in the mud and rain of Thanksgiving Day, Deering slipped past Portland for a narrow 6-0 verdict, giving our gridders a final seasons record of 4 wins, 5 losses, and 1 tie. A1 Caterina, Bob Young, Gil Hasson, Johnny Mancini, Captain Harley Johnson, 'QBoogie', Maller, and Red Rutherford were perhaps the steadily outstanding performers for Portland this year, and had he not been injured in the second game of the season, halfback jim Campbell would probably have sparked the Bulldogs to a much better record than they attained With- out him.

Although handicapped once again by that perennial Portland problem- lack of height-Coach Whopper Deetjen' s Little Boy Blues have had a successful season of ten wins and seven losses. The Blue basketeers chalked up eight of their wins during the regular season play, and rounded out their list of triumphs by downing Deering and Westbrook in Western Maine Tournament competition. Jim Degihco, Chet Koceika, Bill Sears, Al Grassi, and Dick Hawes, fwho tallied a record breaking 27 points against Deering in the Tournament openerj , were the lads in particular who accounted for much of Portlancl's success, but Jim Campbell, Tom Conley, Nino Montecalvo, Harold Anthony, Ronnie Norris, Bill McLaughlin, Rollie MacMillan, Emory Mitchell, Dicka Johnson, Joe Nelson, Dave Redmond, and Ed Backewicz, were other com- petent ball players who greatly helped the Blue cause throughout the year. Even with their new two-teams system, the Deetjenmen, fforced to play three games in as many days, under the tourney elimination set-upl, didn't have quite enough stamina left to win the Western Maine hoop title, as ironically enough, this honor went to the South Portland team that our cagers humbled twice during the regular season. i82l The Deetjenmen played many thrilling N games outside of the Tournament. For in- stance the first game with Westbrook was a contest that will be talked about for many bas- ketball seasons to come. The game was so close that it ended in a 30-30 tie, at the end of regulation time. But then Westbrook got hot in the first overtime period, and pulled ahead to a 40-33 win. Then for a high-scoring thriller there was Portland's 54-44 conquest of highly touted Lewiston at the Expo. The experts had picked this one to be a close game right down to the final gun, with Lewiston as the eventual win- ner. But our Blue basketmen upset the ex- perts' dope-bucket, to the delight of the throng Dick Hawes Bill Sears of Portland fans cheering for the Deetjenmen. Another game of the season that stands out as a real thriller was the first game against Deering. Our Bulldogs finally bowed to the Rams by a 3 7-34 tally, but it was a hard fought, nip-and-tuck battle all the way. Out of their rugged seventeen game sched- ule, Portlandfs hoopmen emerged victorious in ten games. So, in addition to making their supporters happy by playing exciting basket- ball, the Blue cagers made them happy with a winning 10-7 record for the season. i831 f84fl BOYS' RIDING CLUB Left to Right--Darrell Leighton, R.

As the 1949 TOTEM goes to press, Portlandis Bulldog haseballers are riding in fourth place behind Deering, South Portland, and St. Louis, in the nine team Telegram League. The Blue diamondeers started their 1949 campaign with a 10-5 win over Fearless Freddy Harlowis Westbrook team, thanks to some timely relief pitching by firehalling Sophomore Dave Redmond, and some lusty stickwork hy infielders Dick Hawes and Nunzi Mancini. In Port1and's next game, it was once again Lefty Dave Redmond pacing the Portland win withisome expert hurling. The final count of this tilt was Portland 6, St. Louis 5. Then our Tannermen took a trip to Thornton, and were tripped hy the home-town lads by a 4-2 margin. This game was a tough luck loss for Rollie MacMillan, who gave up only one earned run to the Sacoites. Portland' s next outing was an easy 13 -0 trouncing of Biddeford. That man Redmond pitched the shutout, and nearly all of his team-mates chipped in with solid base hits as the Bulldogs swamped the Biddies. i861 Riding in a first place tie in the Telly League, Portland traveled to South Portland in an attempt to gain sole possession of the league's sunberth. But Dick Carmichael and his Red Riot team-mates had their ideas about this, too, and so handed starting pitcher Dave Redmond his first loss of the year. Rollie MacMillan came on for the Blue in a fireman's role, but there was no damp- ening the red hot Riots who Went on to Win, 10-4. Back at the Stadium once again, with Dave Redmond on the mound once more, Portland was dealt a heartbreaking 1-0 loss by Sanford. Redmond pitched what was probably his best game of the season against the Indians- a 2 hit, 15 strikeout performance-but the Bulldogs couldnit push a run across for him, while Sanford was able to score just that necessary one. Against Westbrook once more, Portland bounced back to a 6- 5 Win. Har- old Anthony was the starting pitcher for the Tannermen, and although need- ing Rollie MacMillan to save the game with relief pitching, gained credit for the victory. The eighth game of the year for Portland was another tough luck, one run loss. This time the other team was Deering, and the score was 5 -4. Portland's fifth victory of the season was an 8-3 conquest of Thornton Academy, as Bob Tanner's forces were pitched and batted to the revenge win by powerful southpaw Johnny Mancini. Then meeting Sanford for the second time of the year, the Blue was downed 9-5. The team that Coach Bob Tanner has been fielding this year included, infield: Ed Connolly, Ronnie Leonard, Nunzi Mancini, Dick Hawesg out- field: Gus Bones Profenno, Dick Boogie', Maller, Johnny Nlancinig pitchers: Dave Redmond, Harold Anthony, Rollie MacMillan, Johnny Man- cini, catchers: Dick Jackson, Vern Durant, utility: Sonny St. Angelo and Chet Koceika.

Don Spicer Once again piling up a record that was anything hut sweet music to their opponents, our great swim- ming team has shown what an able uconductorn is their coach, Harold Paulson, and what talented swim- ming pool proteges they are. As in 1948, our speedy swim stars came out on top in the State meet, the Brown Interscholastics, and the New England Inter- scholastic swimming championships. Diclc Lucas was the sparlcplug for the Blue tanlcmen in the hackstrolce, plus being a steadily fast performer on the medley relay. In the hreaststrolce, Arnie Ro- sario was Portland's mainstay, and he, like Lucas, was a top man for the medley relay. Ken Prescott and Steve Liponis were Coach Paulsonls diving depend- ahles. In the gruelling medley swim' it was Roy Rem- ington Who usually piclced up the needed points. For the freestyle department, Captain Donald Spicer, Warren Knowles, Herb Wishart, Arnold Green, and Frank D'Amico turned in the fastest performances. Portland swimming fans should look forward to seeing next season,s Blue mermen put together a rec- ord that will he truly as fine as a beautiful symphony.

With Captain Ed Connolly leading the Way, and Harvey Levine, Bill King, Leon Libby, Dick Densmore, and Bob Joy, picking up important points, Coach Ralph Corey' s cross-country crew has had a successful season of five wins and two losses. The Blue harriers downed Lincoln Academy, d Connolly beat Gorham High twice, and also triumphed over Deer- ing and Brunswick High, while losing only to Gould Academy and the powerful Bowdoin Frosh. At the State Meet on November 4, Ed Connolly came through for Portland by capturing first place from a field of 83 com- petitors, and at the New Englands on November 20, Ed again upheld Blue prestige by garnering 12th place out of a select group of runners from over all New England. The squad was small in numbers this year, but very large in spirit and determination to win, and so the Coreymen have had a winning season.

Kelley. . 014 the l6'ruzrds ff 1'-,.ff J-...af'f' if gif You cannot compose a symphony without first having certain materials on hand. Coach Ralph Corey, although no musician, has known this fact for years. For instance he would greatly enjoy composing a Four Cornered Track Meet title symphony, sometime in the Very near future. But there is where the necessity of having certain materials on hand comes in. To il- lustrate, look at Portland's fine showing in the Four Cornered Meet this year: the Coreymen placed second by scoring a total of 46 points, and winning six out of ten separate events. Captain Ed Connolly captured the mile run, Bob Hill won the high jump, Anthony Bellino captured the Junior 120 yard dash, Lloyd Fox took a first in the Intermediate 600 yard run, and the In- termediate and Senior relay teams also streaked home first for the Blue. Now of course this was melodious music to Blue supporters as far as it went, but it fell short of being in the symphony class because the Blue boardmen lacked the depth to back up all of these first places. And the only way to have that depth is to have more boys out for track - in other words giving l'maestro Corey the materials needed to compose his symphony in C. Four C that is! So it is with these thoughts in mind that the 1949 TOTEM salutes those who have worked to give Portland High School a strong track team, and at the same time expresses the hope that some of Conductor Corey's needed materials will be out for the 1949-50 edition of Portland's track squad. 1911 SENIOR BASKETBALL WINNERS Lrft to Right-N. Mcllvaine, R. VVood, J. Carron, N. Douglass, L. Johnson, J. Hancock, J. Howland. Girlie Kaskcfball Nineteen forty-nine has been an outstanding year for the graceful and rhythmatic ball-erinas of Portland High School. The season's goal has been accomplished under the guidance and leadership of their competent coach, Miss Joan Cosgrove. The freshman class was the largest in several years with a turnout of forty-one. The highlight of the season was the inter-class tournament which had each team putting in longer hours of practice, result- ing in more skilled ball-handling and smoother co-ordination. The senior basketball team won the tournament with a fine display of applied skill and excellent spirit. As a graduating group, they set a high standard which the present underclassmen will try to achieve in following years. The six regular players of the Winning team were Lorraine Johnson, Nancy Douglas, Ruth Wood, forwards, and Joanne Howland, Joan Hancock, and Jan Carton, in the guarding section. Gertrude Richardson and Norma Mcllvaine were sub- stitutes. The season ended with the general feeling that much had been accomplished in the field of basketball itself, but most important of all, good sportsmanship was instilled, or rather, dribbled into the hearts of all the pretty maidens whose aims are to learn and enjoy basketball. f92l Girl? Swimming Under the able supervision of Harold Paulson, swimming coach, over sixty-live Portland High School mermaids took advantage of the facilities offered at the Portland Boys' Club Pool. Eighteen of the group also suc- cessfully passed a beginner's test given by the American Red Cross and re- ceived certificates. The aim of Mr. Paulson is to teach all girls to swim and become capable of taking care of themselves in the water. All girls are given equal training and no special attempt is made to train outstanding swimmers. The more proficient students are selected to take part in the annual meet sponsored by the Athletic Association of Southwestern Maine. This year the follow- ing girls participated in this meet: Jeanette MacVane, Joan Masalin, Jean Thomas, Corinne Flaherty, Norma Wood, Elizabeth Ek, Dorothy Scott, Janice Bloomer, and Donna Libby. Miss Madeleine D. Kingsley is faculty adviser of the group, and Joan Hancock, 1949 graduate, has been the capable student manager for three years.
