The Totem dedicates its 1962 book to the late Christine Dolbier Armstrong, head of the PHS Home Economics Department, 1960-1962, whose death occurred March 5, 1962, at the age of fifty-two, following a brief illness. During her short term of service in the Portland School System, Mrs. Armstrong proved hersehc to be an educator of highest professional caliber, on outstanding administrator, and c1 sympathetic friend. She was c1 graduate of Nasson College and had done advanced graduate study at Columbia University and the University of Connecticut. Both faculty members and the student body loved and respected her for her ability, her understanding of high school students, and her conscientious guidance. It is with a feeling of both sorrow and pride that the Totem Staff inscribes this volume to her memory.

TABLE 0 FACULTY-CURRICULUM Pages 14-31 The administrators who plan our curricula, the teachers who through their enthusiasm gain ours, the classes to which we run, the times of day when we don't watch the clock. SENIORS Pages 32-63 Faces to be remembered, of the boys and girls who have attended these classes and walked through these corridors for the last time, stu- dents who have taken of, and given to, Portland High. UNDERCLASSMEN Pages 64-77 The spirit of PHS is the spirit of every student who has come here to live, to laugh, to grow. Wtihout the lively juniors and sophomores there can be no school, no spirit, no unity.
