foreword: As a new horizon in this year's book, we have en- deavored to portray the many facets of school life, essentially through photography, specifically through dividers, candids, and a section entitled pictorial essay. The Totem is intended as a per- manent record of students, faculty, administra- tion, activities, and the general school atmosphere. It is in this presentation that we immortalize our 1970-1971 school year. I HORIZONS l dedicaiionz Mr. Theodore S. Fall, winter, and spring have found Mr. Theo- dore S. Johnson, teacher, sub-master, assistant principal, a veritable man of all seasons in his friendly main floor office, counseling young people with personal and scholastic problems. A man of understanding, with compassion for us in our dif- ficulties, and elation for us in our triumphs, Mr. Johnson has guided P.H.S. students for more than two decades since coming from our sister school, Deering. Forever enlarging his professional horizons and magnificently sharing his abilities, Mr. Johnson, who retires this year, has also contributed greatly to the life of the community. He is currently a Gateways to academia Johnson trustee of the Portland Community Concert Asso- ciation, the Falmouth Library, and the Maine Home for Boys. He is corporator of the Maine Sav- ings Bank, a past president of the Portland Players, and a voting delegate of the College En- trance Examination Board. The Totem staff dedicates this 1971 yearbook in hopes of conveying the affection and esteem that the students, faculty, and community feel for this distinguished educator. We extend best wishes to him and Mrs. Johnson for happiness in the days ahead, which include foreign travel, sanctuary when desired in their mountain hideaway, and fur- ther study at his alma mater, Dartmouth.
