In 1923 the book was titled Totem and has been printed annually ever since. The Pilots of the first book, ahead of their time, saw the advantages of preserving a record of all events, and so from the beginning Totem has covered all classes and all activities. In nearly half a century of journalistic endeavor, the schoolis Fourth Estaters have kept abreast, with latest book styles. For- mats have changed, the old time favor- ites, the Prophecy and Will, have taken their places in the archives, but each staff has tried to keep its book up to the highest standards. The Totem Staff of 1961 dedicates its volume With affectionate pride to the first pilots, The Board of Editors of 1921. Staff Identification. Top Row: Marcia Geh- ring, assistant editor; Alfred K.

Board Of Editors 1 921 F oreword The Totem Stag is quoting the foreword 0f the 1921 book. It reads as follows, Tln publish- ing this Erst Portland High School Book, we have endeavored to make as accurate and complete a record of events as possible, combined with enough of a personal nature to form a book of individuality, not a mere table of facts. We sincerely hope that we have made it what Mr. Jack and the school would have it, a reflection of the varied activities and of the spirit of Portland High School? 1961 was a year of Change. The ninth grade was returned to junior high school, and the school day was lengthened an hour. The Totem Staff has tried to give an authentic record of the year and to show the important role played by its TPilotsT - the administrators and teachers.

Behind the scenes, the administra- tors chart the course that the faculty follows in the classroom. The men and women of the administration are the co-ordinators, the expediters who plan and change the curricula to suit the needs of the quickly changing world in which we live, supervise the construction and equipping of the schools, and guide the personnel. Ever alert to the new, the faculty members keep in close touch with the develop- ments in their fields to pass them on to the students, the benefactors of the efforts of both the administration t and the faculty. By the careful planning of the ad- ministrators, the 6-3-3 plan was initi- ated into the Portland school system. The system, by which the first year of high school was made the third year of junior high, brought with it the benefit of more abundant classroom space. In keeping with the tin with the new,, program, an extra forty-Eve minute period was added to the day. Both administration and faculty pi- loted the school through this, the year of changes.

Beiche, Submaster Theo- dore S. Johnson, and Dean Adelaide Lehan, who skillfully piloted the curricula and activities through a successful year of innovations. Mr. Reiche has come to mean more to PHS students than a principal. He has become a personal friend who shows a sincere interest in their activities and Who always has a word of praise or congratulations for a job well done or an Submaster Johnson counsels Vincent Allen.

The Office Staff Steers A Steady Course With a ready, helping hand and a cheerful smile, the oche staff steers the administration of the school on a steady course, aptly handling the thousand and one problems that arise in a normal day. Miss Mary Conroy, never too busy to provide the student with aid and understand- ing, is ably assisted by Mrs. Iola Bloomer and Mrs. Jean Ney. Together they meet the deluge of late slips, phone calls, and hundreds of ques- tions which a day of school life can bring. This trio in the office, always pleasant and agreeable, never fails to help teachers and students alike in any way that it can. Their efficiency affects the entire school in a way favorable to a smooth administration and to study. The office aides, girls who volunteer to help during study periods, work with the secretaries to lighten the burden; the result is smooth-running Portland High School. The oHice aides. Clockwise: V.

SENIORS For a year the seniors took their turn at the helm of the school and With eternal vigilance helped to estab- lish the new and uphold the old traditions that are Portland High School. This was the year of changes and the seniors took in their stride the longer day and the more and more advanced courses of study that were to prepare them for the chal- lenge that lay ahead after June. With skillful piloting, the seniors set the example for the underclass- men, leading in all phases of school life. The last few Hurried weeks of school found them trying on their caps and gowns, being acclaimed for prowess in all fields at the Iinal award assembly, and conducting the lachry- mose senior farewell assembly, their last as members of the student body. The June commencement launched the graduates of t61 in new courses on the sea of life. Seniors Wilfred Hamilton, Margery Hatch, Charles Cragin, David Crasnick, and Ellen Casey choose records at the Cheerleaderst Kickoff Dance. CLASS OFFICERS.

They are now ready to enter into the world of complex scientific, social, and economic development. The past four years were exciting and beneficial. The students accom- plished many things but their biggest tests are yet to come and their greatest goals yet to be attained.

National Merit Exam. 53 uuntkm 3mm The underclassmen for 1960-61 found themselves considerably smaller in number compared to past years. It was the first year of the 6-3-3 sys- tem and the first year with no fresh- men wandering through the corridors with those lost, scared, and amazed looks on their faces. Although disappointed at having no underclassmen to tease and lord their power over, the sophomores eagerly took up the challenge to make their class one not easily forgotten. Whether the contest was a cheering match at a rally or a race to see which class could collect the most Mad Money, the sophomores were game and gave the upperclassmen a good run for their money. As the year drifted by, it became more and more apparent that the juniors were preparing themselves well to take over the wheel for the seniors and keep Portland High School on a straight course. Excelling scholastically, sportswise, and spirit- wise, the class displayed marked quali- ties of leadership and made the junior class one to be regarded with due respect. Underclassmen: Sherman Altenburg, Nancy Kelley, Murrough O,Brien, Marian Agaza- n'an, Ralph Libby, and Katharine Kelley, enjoy an early spring day in Deering Oaks. x.

Whether he goes on to college or into business or technical work, the Port- land High School graduate is distin- guished for his excellent secondary school training. F ew other high schools in the state offer such a diver- sity of programs, from the academic and artistic to the scientific and prac- tical. Once outside the safe harbor of the school, the student realizes the benefits he has gleaned from his years at PHS. Each day of the year the Vital pro- cess of learning and expansion through ideas is taking place within these busy walls. The anchors of all learning, English and social sciences, are taught in stimulating courses. The languages become a living study to the students who avail themselves of the oppor- tunities offered by the modern lan- guage laboratory. Exploration into such complicated fields as physics, chemistry, advanced mathematics and industrial arts are only more of the rewarding facets of high school life. Students delve into knowledge in the library. un-t ' Scientists Explore New Worlds The scientists, the explorers in the realm of the unknown, were the pilots of research in the school. With the launching of the first satellites in the early 50s, the world became increasingly aware of the importance of science. Portland High School and her students were swept along on a crest of intellectual zeal, which carried through in the physics, chemistry, and biology laboratories. While the biologists learned the rudiments of the structures of forms of life and their import- ance in relation to the everewidening world of the universe, the chemists and physicists learned 72 practical applications of the knowledge gained through research and experimentation. The science laboratories bummed with constant activity. Silent moments of expectation gave way to exuberant enthusiasm as research yielded the desired results. Students in all fields eagerly entered exhibits in the annual Science Fair. We have been launched on a sea of advanced research and probings into the age-old mysteries of the universe around us. PHS,s scientists are prepared to meet the challenge of future ex- plorations with vigor and eagerness. fWTYTIqW? 3 . 4 In physics. Mr. William Simonton demonstrates how to make a magnetic field with iron filings to Stephen St. Laurent and Eugene Clewley. Richard Poore and Joan Terezevich study the preparation of hydrogen gas as Mr. Samuel Rosenthal looks on in Chemistry Lab. 0196: Mr. Stevens points out sternum t0 Janet Burke and bert Fish. Linguists Keep In Step Electrically Learning to read, write and speak the tongues of countries many miles away is the business that occupies the students of language. Under a pro- vision of the National Defense Act, the school was enabled last year to purchase electrical equipment which aided the students, by recording and transcription, to gain a thorough knowledge of the language. Whether it was parlez-vous francais? or habla espanol? or sprechen Sie Deutsch? the language students con- centrated with fervor. By the end of two or three years of study, the ablest linguists could converse like natives. In the Latin courses, Portland High students gained through that language a better knowledge of the basis of English. Mrs. Blanche Naples instructs her sophomore French class in the use of the tape recorders in the language lab. Roberta Gardner translates into the Spanish as Cynthia Mr. Bruce McDuHie, Miss Theresa Johnson, and Mr. Allen and Mr. Alan Palais look on. George Casey discuss the Language Club program. Home tEct Prepares F or Tomorrow In the world of homemaking, sew- ing, and child care, the girls enrolled in the home economics courses gain the practical knowledge that will pre- are them for their roles as home- makers of the future. In the kitchens, the girls learn the basis of a properly balanced diet and the way to plan meals packed with vitamins and minerals. In the sewing rooms, the homemakers of the future learn to whip up practical and chic fashions. Many and varied skills, such as cake-baking, upholstering, and knit- ting, that are essential to the smooth running of a home are taught with imagination and learned with enthu- siasm. The study of homemaking theory is closely tied in with practical applications of the facts learned. In cooking class, Susan Jellison puts the finishing touches on a cake as Kay Buzzell, Mrs. Elza Gilboe, and Ann Dante look on. Jean McCurdy cuts out a pattern as Mrs. Christine Armstrong, head of the Home Economics Department, supervises, 41nd Roberta McDonough gets a few pointers. Mr. Sarando P. Giftos helps Sharon MacLoed with her bookkeeping. Practice Makes Perfection And Success Training students for the iirough and toughB business world, the Business Course prepares them in typing, bookkeeping, office machines, and business math. Proficiency, speed, and ac- curacy are the coveted skills which come With time and practice. The Business Course gives a preparation for jobs after school, during the summer, and after graduation. The traihing Which students receive is perfected into positions which students secure with the assistance of Mr. Sarando P. Giftos, head of the Business Department. From these iirst jobs, graduates later go on to high positions in the business world as successful Portland High School alumni. 76 Above: In an oEice machines class students transcribe and use comptometers.

Woung, da Vincis, Michaelangelos, and Picassos dabbled in oils, water- colors, clay and papier-mache in Mr. Tranquillds studio this year. Art students made charcoals of still life, papier-mache miniatures of historical figures, colorful paper and ceramic mosaics, stain-glass windows of multi-colored paper, clay figurines, both modernistic and conventional, and samples of formal script and dec- orative lettering. Experienced stu- dents entered a local advertising con- test and several succeeded in winning plaques and certificates. This year an art appreciation course was offered to students interested in learning art orientation and history but whose schedules did not allow a full art course. Z4rtz'sts Develop Creativity C. Connor, Mr. Pasquale Tranquillo, L. Martino, P. Corbett mix plaster for sample mosaic. I Math, Driver Ed Are Essentials Keeping in pace With the rapidly advancing technological age, the Mathematics Department offered an enriched program. With the help and encouragement of weH-trained mathe- matics teachers, PHS students were initiated into the world of Pythagoras, Descartes, and Euclid. The courses, becoming more advanced each year, cover everything from the rudiments of algebra and geometly to calculus, trigonometry, and analytic geometry. Another important aspect of the practical courses offered at the school was the excellent driver training pro- gram, instructed by Mr. Fred K. Hig- gins. Thanks to his untin'ng eEorts, PHS students disprove the old axiom that teen-age drivers are reckless drivers. 1w a I fh'um gm Mr. Edgar Stoddard, head of the Mathematics Department, explains a slope problem in geometry to Theresa Vatulas and James Fleming.

Walsh corrects Dale Chabe,s exam paper English Courses Add The Culture The English courses at PHS cover not only the rudiments of grammar and composition, but also attempt to instill in the student an appreciation for the worldts fine literature. In the College, Business, and Shop Courses, students of English are in- troduced to a diversity of studies arranged according to their future plans, whether college, business, or vocational. Vocabulary work, poetry, letter writing, and literature ranging from the Odyssey to Crime and Pun- ishment accompany regular instruc- tion. Seniors in Mr. Theodore S. John- sorfs special English Literature class study novels, plays, and poetry from Beowulf of the eighth century to Babbit of the twentieth.

Stu- dents of the social studies learn that the most important question is ttWhyPh What economic, social, and political causes led to the American Revolution, and how can their lessons be applied to other situations? What were the beginnings of the socialist and com- munist theories? How are they right? How are they wrong? In the United States, ancient, and world history courses, pupils are stim- ulated by discoveries in the world of humanities and are given the knowl- edge necessary to greater understand- ing among people and nations.

Industrial, Vocational Workers Join Forces The Industrial Arts Department, under the direction of Mr. George A. Cole, initiated this year a vocational education program. Under the newly-formed plan, students in the 11th and 12th grades are eligible to take the course. A student taking vocational education must study industrial math and related subjects - shop work, English, history, and physical education. Stu- dents taking this course compete through the Maine Employment Office for an apprenticeship standing. They also compete in the Maine Crafts- manis F air, which was held in Portland this year. Trade and industrial education, which is the part of vocational education that provides in- struction in industrial wOrk, skilled and semi- skilled trades, crafts, and occupations relating to the manufactured products. The course in- cludes instruction in manipulative skills, safety practices, good work habits, technical knowledge, and related information essential to employment. Says Mr. Cole, This type of program in PHS is a necessity for the future growth of industry in the Portland area? Thomas Landingham displays one of the shopts entries. Shops Show Projects Throughout the school year, the vo- cational instructors prepared the boys taking the Industrial Arts Course for entering the trades of printing, wood- working, auto mechanics, machinery, mechanical drawing, or electrical work. Climaxing the yearts eHorts was an annual exhibition in which students from all over the state dis- played the products of their labors. Shown here are some of PHSts entries in the exhibition. M. Lipp, j. McLellan, R. Hamlin, R. Libby, C. Rickett, R. Berry are shown with some products from the woodworking shop. print Arnold Thomas shows a plan for a double-case window.

Shops T rain For Trades Portlandk Industrial Arts Depart- ment has long been noted for its com- petence in training young men for their life,s work in the vocational trades. In the realm of throbbing motors, buzzing lathes, and ttliveh wires, the future craftsmen acquired skills that will later benefit them and their com- munity. Amidst the busy buzz of lathes in the woodworking shop, the students proudly produced everything from boats to bookcases. In the quiet concentration of the electrical shop, future electricians prepared for their life,s work. Wide avenues of oppor- tunity are open to these boys, who may go on to nearby Bath Iron Works and the Kittery Navy Yard, 0r farther afield in their chosen work. Boys Learn Skills In step with the changing trends in education, the Industrial Arts Department this year became the Industrial Education Department. The new program provided advanced training in the in- dustn'al arts and in vocational education, so that the terminal student might go directly into in- dustry upon completion of the courses. Automatic transmissions, the mysteries of the carburetor, and the fuel injection line offered no problems to the boys trained in the automobile shop. In the well-equipped printing shop, the future printers learned Ivarious techniques of their trade. Upon graduation or completion of the ad- vanced courses, these skilled craftsmen can take their places in the industrial world or go on to technical schools such as the Maine Vocational Technical Institute.

F ringe Benefits Aid All The school curriculum offers many extras, fringe benefits, that reach every student and endeavor to solve all individual problems, physi- cal or mental. Eye and ear tests are given annually and pupils with non-correctable defects are assigned special classes. Lip-reading is offered pupils with even minor hearing defects. Special equipment is available for pupils with serious eye defects. School psychologists work with students having emotional problems. Testing specialists work with all students to show them their greatest potentialities and their greatest handicaps. ACTIVITIES The extra-curricular activities help to develop the students maturity, acting as a lighthouse that steers the talented on a straight course. In each activity, some student finds his an- chor, his own special diversion, that he can share with others equally in- terested. After hours, almost any afternoon, one finds PHS students enthusiastically taking part in the clubs and groups that add that extra something to the complete picture of school life. On the auditorium stage the night of the senior class play, a future Garbo might be born; on the newspaper or the yearbook, a potential Heywood Broun might be sparked; at a band concert, playing a solo for the first time, a Satchmo might be in the mak- ing. In all phases of the non-scholastic interests, the talented, the eager, those willing to work, find their snug har- bor in Whatever avocation suits them. Faculty advisers, concerned and com- petent, lend their skills and knowledge to successfully pilot the students on the high seas of adventure. The student body assembled for the All-A Assembly. Writers Toil Tirelessly Literally becoming night owls, Totem editors and their associates worked feverishly gathering and recording the history of the current school year in both picture and story. Writing copy, cropping pictures, and setting up layouts for the yearbook was a diHicult and time consuming job. Nerves became raw and tempers, short as the publication deadline drew near; but the Totem staft shouldered their responsibilities with a smile, if sometimes grim, and did their level best to produce a memorable yearbook. Publication of the Totem was the main object of the conscientious staE, but it also found the time and energy to present the annual Audition Alley.

Taking attendance, mending books, helping to find reference ma- terial for students, checking out books, and tracking down overdue books, these girls were an active part of the newly renovated library. While the library aides carried out the routine duties which a library entails, Miss Frances Lombard, assisted by Miss Dolores Ciriello, devoted time to research, correspondence, and keeping the li- brary and its records up to date. The Library Club was an outstanding organization in the school. For National Book Week the group in- vited as speakers foreign exchange students from Cambodia and Turkey.

Starting with this hypothesis, the club members met twice a month un- der the direction of Richard Rosen- blatt, president. Following the busi- ness meeting, a few of the members presented a program about mathe- matics. Sometimes it was a humorous skit, sometimes a talk on the history of math, or sometimes even pure mathematical conjecture. After the program the members had refresh- ments and socialized. To raise money during the year, the club had a suc- cessful car wash and profitable food sales. The first club project was to buy pins for all the members. With many enthusiastic mathematicians, the club looks forward to other years of progress. Mr. Raynold Fuller and Anne Bogh discuss the next meetingts program. The R. L. Fuller Math Club officers.

Arguing whether the United Nations should be significantly strengthened, the de- baters brought back many awards and honors from contests at the University of Maine, the University of New Hampshire, Bowdoin College, and Dartmouth College. While the team was preparing for tournaments, they spent long hours in the library and also traveled to local schools for practice debates. When- ever two debaters met, there was al- ways a war of words. Although these ttdiscussionsh were ttjust in funf this practice sparring resulted in debaters who were as sharp as blades when it came to actual combat.

The club under- took several fund-raising projects, the largest of which was the publishing and selling of the program for the Thanksgiving Day football game. As soon as the treasury was substantially increased, however, so was it then depleted. The clubs purpose is to aid charity, and it contributed to such worthy organizations as United Fund, the Bruce Roberts Fund, and World Service. The club was advised by Mr. Clif- ford A.

Through- out the year, those energetic girls kept the school aware of their cause - helping people in countries torn by war, poverty, and disease. The or- ganization sponsored an active cam- paign to encourage the student body to fill more Red Cross Boxes than be- fore with articles of clothing, small necessities, and toys which made the lives of many unfortunate people much more bearable. The school responded to the call with vigor, filling a good number of cartons.

To open a school account, all the student needed to do was to fill out a simple form. He was then issued a red passbook and provided with envelopes in which he deposited his weekly sum. The tellers, students in the business course, gained valuable experience in helping to handle banking business and in keeping the accounts straight.

This was the cry heard every morning echoing throughout the boys, gym, as Major Franklin R. Glasscock, USAFR, put the PHS Cadet Corps through their paces. The Cadet Corps is the oldest organization in the school. It was founded shortly after the Civil War and has been going strong ever since. The iirst Cadet Ball was held in 1892, and the dance has been an annual event since then. Members of the PHS Cadets have served both as oHicers and as enlisted men in the Spanish- American War, World Wars I and II, and in the Korean War. Students participating in cadets developed traits of discipline, coordination, and leadership. This year, because of reduced numbers in the ranks due to the 6-3-3 system, Major Glasscock stressed drill teams. 108 The cadet program received support this year from the 103rd Armored Cavalry Regiment of the Maine National Guard. Personnel from the Regi- ment taught one classroom session on military subjects a week. The cadets participated in the Veterans, Day, Armed Forces Day, and Memorial Day parades this year. They conducted demonstrations at the Expo, Jack and King Junior High Schools, and at F ort Williams. The group took a trip to the 103rd,s Training Center in New Gloucester, Me. Officers this year included Col. William Downs; Lt. Cols. Eugene Clewley, Paul Pennell, Cary Shaw; Major Susan Tucker; and Capts.

The members strove throughout the year to put their vital message of highway safety across to the student body. They succeeded in their endeavors. In addition to stressing safety in the school, the MHSC served many auto- mobile-owning teachers. Every mom- ing members of the club were seen out in the parking lot aiding the faculty in maneuvering their cars into tight places in the lot. The group, under the supervision of Mr. William H. MacKenzie, head of the Maine Highway Safety Commit- tee, was nationally recognized this year by the National Student Safety Association. One of the MHSCYS safety bulletin boards in the school. Linguists Join F orces The formation of a German-Spanish Club this year brought the number of language Clubs at PHS to four. Three French clubs, one for each class, have been established for several years. Although the clubs were indepen- dent of each other, they joined to present several excellent programs. One of the most significant of these joint programs was the talk given by Helene Giftos, of Cape Elizabeth High School. Helene resided for sev- eral months in Sweden, and her talk revolved around her experiences there. In addition to co-sponsoring programs, each of the clubs held various fund- raising projects, including food sales and the like. The clubs provided a source of in- terest and entertainment for students taking modern languages in the school. They also served to broaden the students, knowledge of the coun- try whose language they were studying.

At the monthly meetings, heads of departments intro- duced their associates and presented programs explaining the curriculum of their departments. In March the PTC also sponsored for the Schol- arship Fund a Candlelight Supper which proved a great financial success and in April, an open- house which displayed the culinary arts of the Home Economics Department and the skills of the Industrial Arts Department. As a result of its highly successful fund-raising projects, the PTC was able to award several scholarships to deserving students at graduation and to sponsor a page in the school yearbook.

SPUR TS The world of sports pilots boys and girls on a meaningful course of devel- opment in body and spirit, as well as in good sportsmanship and comrad- erie. On the football field, on the tennis courts, in the swimming pool, or on the basketball court, the stu- dents found participation in sports an exhilarating experience. The full sports program at PHS yearly attracts students who Hnd ela- tion and fulhllment in the process of the game and, win or lose, learn that the satisfaction of a game well-played is ever more important than a game won. Though the prime objective is to carry home honors for the school, Portland Hights athletes are good sports first and always. The Blue sportsmen contend for honors in a multitude of sports, both intramurally and with other schools. No less important than the hardy gridsters, basketeers, and swimmers who meet the challenge in their vari- ous fields are the loyal sports fans Who come to the games rain or shine to cheer the teams onward to success. Adventures in athletics provide the needed outlet and contribute substan- tially to the full development of the student and of the school. C0 Bulldogs! ! Another Ram bites the dust via Vinnie Grosso. FOOTBALL 1961 Portland Opponent 14 Lewiston 27 6 Bangor 42 19 Thornton l3 Cony 0 Cheverus 19 Edward Little 6 St. Louis 6 South Portland 19 Deering Spirit Drives Blue Lack of experience again proved itself to be at determining factor in the 1960 gridiron season. The Bulldogs having only three veterans on their squad, the three 00 captains Vinnie Allen, Vinnie Grosso, and Bartley McDonough, were tremend- ously handicapped. Despite this deficit they still gave even the best of teams a good battle. The Blue showed stamina in their Erst game against Lewiston, State Cl1a1nps,whe11 after being be- hind by two touchdowns at the half, they came back in the second half and outscored the Blue Devils. The qualities of Sportsmanship, Spirit, Desire and Hustle, were instilled in the boys by their new coach Mr. Robert Grail. Although P.H.S.did11t win many games, it would be a gross understatement for anyone who saw the Thanksgiving Day game to say that the team lacked the desire to win. The insuchient experience of last season will provide ample ex- perience for the 1961 season. Diane and Jean help push the team over.

Pre-season statistics proved inaccurate because they did not give Portland any pre-recognition for the t61 season, the major reason being the lack of experience with only three veterans from the 1960 season. The ,61 season produced a team with cone siderable potentiality due to the large turnout of boys. Will Hamilton and Marv Flanders led the tracksters along with a brilliant effort on the part of Howard Morton who excelled in the 40-yd. dash and in the 300-yd. run. The Junior and Intermediate Relays both managed to break rec- ords. June graduation depleted the squad by only a few, thus leaving a sub-nucleus for the ,62 season. Portland won two of their tn'angu- lar meets and came in four quad- rangular meets. When the state meet rolled around they placed second. Some of the contenders were Chev- erus, South Portland, Deering, West- brook, and Thornton. Howie Morton wins 300 yd. dash.

The hard fighting Bulldogs, hampered with in- juries, found it diHicult to pull many games out of the tire because of the fact that not once dur- ing the whole season were the Bulldogs able to floor their pre-season starting team. Of the 17 games played, all but one or two were lost by not more than one or two baskets. The begin- ning of the fourth period of most of these games found the Blue lighters coming to a tie score, only to end the quarter by being defeated by one or two baskets. Co-captains Billy Young and Jimmy F arrin helped keep the Bulldogs stout in defeat along with the hopes of sidelined Co-cap- tain Vinnie Allen. The fact that Portland had so many underclassmen 0n the team should prove beneficial to the 1961-62 season. They all cant have it!

Brenerman, Blue Baseballers Enjoy Winning Season One of Coach Edson Hadlockis fondest dreams came true at the beginning of this yearis season, when the students at PHS raised enough Mad Money to purchase a pitching machine. With this invaluable piece of equipment in use, the diamond boys of the Blue Bulldogs showed con- siderable flash and poise as they completed an excellent season and emerged one of the best teams in the Telegram League competition. Play- ing in perfect unison against the best schools in the state, the baseballers demonstrated their hit- ting, fielding, base-running, and pitching talents so well that they were almost unbeatable. Much credit is deserved by Coach Hadlock and Assist- ant Coach Gerry Davis for their remarkable base- ball knowhow. At first base was the powerful-hitting and slick- fielding Bob Dube. Giving the Portlanders upe the-middle strength and a fast double play com- bination were Bob Tracy and Bill Young, at second base and short-stop, respectively. Knock- ing down grounders at third was the Clutch hit- ting John Matheson. In the outfield were Don Stanhope, Bruce Boisvert, and John Stuart. All of these were good hitters. Behind the plate was the sharp Vinnie Allen, who was as good as any catcher in the league. Portland was strong in pitching, with two strong starters, Les Fisher and Tom Murphy. Rounding out the pitching staff were Frank Huston, Roland Mastroluca, and Dana Strout. Under the very able coaching of Mr. George Poulos, the jayvees also had a practically invinci- ble team.

Blue Mermen Rank High Despite Handicaps Despite being sorely handicapped this season by the 6-3-3 system ilosing seven lettermen and gaining only oney Coach Paulsen and his team overcame this situation in such a way that P-HS lost only one Maine Interscholastic dual meet. This was the Hrst loss of its kind since 1945. Bad luck along with disqualifications put the Blue in third place, one point behind Deering. This was another sad iifirstl for the Blue. Star of this yeafs team was junior, Irving McCalmon, who broke many records, scored high in the National 128 AAU and won the Junior AAU Medley. Backing Irv next year will be George Lane who won the Senior AAU Butterfly, Kippy Field, who swept five events in the Maine AAU and Dick Gallag- her, ace free style competitor. Greatly to be missed will be breast stroker Bill Reagan and diver John Handy. Other valuable seniors were Peter Talbot, Paul Bergmann and Philip F uller. Outstanding underclassmen were Mike Reagan, Dale London, Phil Simonds, George Savage, George Casey and George Sferes. Coach Harold Paulsen explains a tactic to Irving McCalmon.

T enm's Team Plays Heavy Spm'ng Schedule As spring came to the school, the tennis team cleared the last snow and ice from the Deering Oaks courts and started its practice on April third. This hustling squad, as usual, faced one of the heaviest schedules in our athletic program with fourteen matches listed for the varsity and eight for the junior varsity. A small turnout of twelve boys reported to Coach Theodore John- son, but four of the boys have had two seasons of experience. Captain Bill Hyde, at the number Bergmann, Hyde, Altenburg, one position, led the Blue courtmen this year and demonstrated his ability to play this fast running game. Following in consecutive order were Dick Barrows, Sherrn Altenburg, Paul Berg- man, Mike Smith, Phil F uller, and John Esposito. Portlandk showing on the tennis scene this past year depended largely on the strength of the fifth and sixth positions. Rounding out the jayvees were Don Caldwell, Ray Hutchinson, JeH Berg- man, John Handy, and Herschell Lerman. Barrows plan strategy. Farrin, doubtful at this moment, still wins the match. Wrestling, Golf Booster Sportsh Program at P.H.S. Although wrestling at P.H.S. is largely intra- mural, it is the hope of Coach Henderson to make it interscholastic. The team of: G. Blais- dell, R.

PHS Girls Compete in Various Sports With the rumble of a bowling ball, the swoop of a racquet, Or the swing of a bat, Miss Ayefs itall-Americanh girls engaged in many exciting games of badminton, softball, and basketball in the PHS gym this year. Assisted by Mrs. Jane Finnemore, Miss Janice Ayer, physical education instructor, gave PHS girl athletes instructions in, basketball, badminton, tumbling, and swimming during regular gym classes and also supervised an exceedingly popular intramural sports pro- gram, including softball, bowling, tennis, and field hockey. Squeals of delight and sometimes terror sounded throughout the gym this year as 132 one by one each girl took her turn bouncing up and down and occasionally 0H the trampoline, an exciting but sometimes frightening addition to the gymnastic equipment in the girls gym. iiOh, my hairV bewailed PHS girls as they tramped, slightly waterlogged, from the Boys, Club pool to their classes.

ADVERTISING Early in the fall, the advertising managers began charting the courses that sent the advertising solicitors off on various voyages in the world of business. Throughout the fall and winter, these diligent workers solicited the advertisements that appear on the following pages. The job was one of elation, as the advertiser brought in his first large ad; of discouragement, as he returned empty-handed after an unsuccessful afternoon; of fascination, as he became acquainted with various business concerns and their inner workings; and of satisfaction, as he completed a job well done. It was, for most of the advertisers, their first practical voyage into the business world and one that was exciting, in- teresting, and often wearing on the shoe leather. The merchants of Congress Street and throughout the Greater Portland area responded eagerly to the ques- tion, iiWould you care to advertise in the 1961 Totem? Large concerns and small alike were ready to listen and join in making the yearbook a finan- cial success. It is with this in mind that the Totem staff suggests that you give careful consideration to the iirrns whose advertisements appear on the following pages.

Hot Lunches Enjoyed Roast veal with thick, brown gravy; mashed potatoes; winter squash; a hot biscuit smeared with fresh coun butter; and a cool, tall glass of milk - this is a typical meal on the menu of the PHS cafeteria. With the advent of the 63-3 system, additional equip- ment was ordered for the kitchen so that the dietitians could prepare a full meal for students desiring one. The new plan was highly successful, and PHS students may look forward to many delicious and nourishing meals served in the cafeteria. The teachers get hungry too!
