Theirs is ez Career 0 Devotion and Service Portland High School is a thriving, bust- ling community composed of more than fif- teen hundred men, women, girls, and boys who live in close association with each other the best part of each waking day. It is also a creative, active community in which stud- ents learn, and teachers faithfully accomplish their appointed tasks. It takes lots of doing to keep the wheels of such a group turning in an orderly fashion and much of this is done by the devoted office staff, Miss Mary Con- roy and Mrs. Iola E. Bloomer, patient, kindly and efficient, who handle the hundred and one administrative and clerical details that keep P.H.S. functioning so smoothly. The students and the faculty owe a great deal to Miss Conroy and Mrs. Bloomer for their careful concern of everyone's problems. NO MORE CHEERFUL and courteous secretaries ever graced a high school office than Miss Mary j. Conroy, seated, and Mrs. Iola E. Bloomer. ITS A LOT OF FUN to work in the office , according to office helpers: Alta Minervino, Patricia Jy oanne DIPICITO Florence Rourke Annette Ciriello, Maryann Colello, Susan Murphy Dolores Cmello Francha Murphy Anne Reinhardt, and Judith Young.
