We hope you'll stop to read it, though, In nineteen SIXTY-SIX. Let's look back to the hazy part of our high school years. The HEADLIGHT pierces that fog, and looming out of the mists is our reception - and see the gaiety! Some of us look cute in those green and White bonnets, While some of us-Are there Words to describe us? Trembling how-do-you-do's-a receiving line-inch by inch of agony-we make it! Relief! What's this showing through the mist? Auditorium? Cheers? Oh, a rallyl Railroad yell-perspiring cheerleaders - pep talks from the coaches. Now it's recess - corridor crooners--hand in hand-stragglers doing last minute home- Work. The fog closes in. The fog horn! Storm, we think! And howl Mid-years - green-eyed demons - endlessly long in anticipation, but time all too short to pen your information or your lack of it. That HEADLIGHT throws a good beam now and discloses -our Sophomore Hop. Oh, for the carefree informality of that whole happy year of sophistry lwe didn't know that word until we were Seniorsj I No fog at all now. A recess in spring! Catch the newness of the lawns and the athletic field. Dusty track, sprinklers, everyone absorbing Vitamin D. Something shining through. Oh, yes - rings. Then Prom night-glorious semi-adulthood-frightened but cou- rageous after dinner iafter somebody else's dinnerl speakers. Miss State's themes. The plays-trying but hilarious rehear- sals, anxious actors and still more anxious parents, outwardly calm, inwardly-a chaos.

Senior Reception Speakers Wilbur Evans, Robert Brimecombe, Clifford Walton, Betty Jordan, Priscilla Webster, Jeanine Fenwick. Diamond, gridiron, and court tilts-attempts to get that point - the Whole cheering section Working with the team. victories and even some defeats. The sanctuary - our library, the best place in the World to try to learn that memory work. Finally, the team that makes all other teams possible, the faculty-ever faithful and Willing to help, either with advice or instructions. And now 46'ers of 1966, look back at all of us on the preceding pages. Let those pages recall our Senior year-our friendships, our quarrels, our dances, our assemblies, our stars, our bluffers-long lines of garnet-capped and gowned Seniors, diplomas, banquet-reception. The rays of the HEADLIGHT won't let us forget-even if We could. We're far apart this day of 1966-but in our hearts We're together now and always because we are all graduates of South Portland High School, citizens of these United States of America, and Friends of The World. Oh, so YOU read it after alll We know it's trite -or triter- But somewhere in it there's a thought- You'll find it-when you're brighter. Class Play The Senior Class really turned out a play to be proud of this year. As I picked up my program, I noticed the names of five members of the class Who had never trod the boards before. Martha Norton turned in a delightful performance as Mrs. Minton, the mother, While Barbara French took the part of her peppy teen-age daughter. Richard Smith supplied many laughs with his excellent portrayal of a teen-age boy. Lois Allen as the maid turned in a very capable performance along with Virginia DePeter as the foot-Weary nurse. Senior Class Day Speaker Peter Costello, Roger Gould, Charles Spear, Barbara Royles, Pauline Trudell, Margaret Millington, Senior Class Play Priscilla Webster, Barbara French, Jean Olsen, Thelma Stevenson, Martha Norton, Virginia DePeter, Lois Allen, Audrey Slater, Robert Water- man, Robert Brimecombe, Richard Smith, Ralph Worthing, Maxine Keene, Prompter. Priscilla Webster took the lead and proved herself a better than average actress. The play, A Little Honey by David- son, Was a light comedy and the cast played it to the hilt. Thelma Stevenson as the grandmother, and Robert Waterman as the father left us all helpless with their rehearsal of the proposal of marriage. A bit of glamour was supplied with Audrey Slater slink- ing through her role of the Southern Belle in pursuit of Robert Waterman. As the naval officer back from China, Robert Brimecombe played his lead opposite Priscilla as if he were having as good a time as the audience. Jean Olsen bounced her Way through the part of the younger sister to the tune of Has anyone seen Pegasus? Ralph Worthing as the exterminator who Wanted to be helpful turned in a hilarious performance.

The Junior Class returned to school last September with the world at peace. Th s was the first opportunity which we had had to know South Portland High School with the anx- iety and tension of war removed. The war placed its mark upon our school, to be sure, but with peace these marks are slowly becoming less depressing. The return of many teachers who had rendered their services to our country brought back memories of years past. Numerous boys who had left school to join the armed services returned to their classes to complete their studies. These are all signs that the country is slowly returning to its peacetime way of life, The Class of '47 must not think of itself as preparing to be citizens who will work for a peaceful world. We must be junior citizens of the world. We must give ourselves often a true and false test. lt is our business-dmore than that- our obligation to write a plus after such items in that test as HI am keeping informed about my government. I am trying to understand nations A's, B's, or C's viewpoint on X, Y, and Z. I am obeying the laws of my city4my state. Yes, 1947 can help, now. The cessation of war-even though peace is not universal -should, it seems to us, make for a kind of Renaissance in our studying. We have suffered intimately the impact of ignorance. We have known denial. We have suffered losses. It seems to us that we should hereby resolve that as much as in us lies we shall combat the force of ignorance. recognizing that such combat begins at home. Early in the year, we elected our class officers to guide us through the hectic year to follow. The count of the ballots revealed that we had chosen them as follows: Raymond Pan- dora, president: Margaret Russell, vice president: Marjorie Coperthwaite, secretary: and Charles Goodwin, treasurer. To back up the officers and to extend any needed aid, we chose Jean Barry, Nancy Crosby, Marjorie Jordan, Raymond Davis, Robert Kirby, and Edward Norton as the executive Iunior Executive Committee Jean Barry, Nancy Crosby, Marjorie Jordan, Robert Kirby, Edward Norton, Raymond Davis.

Seeing that we would at last obtain those cher- ished class rings this year, we entrusted Diane Houghton, Ruth Standley, Rosalyn Sullivan, Stanley Christiansen, Stan- ley Flink, and Robert Wallace with the duty of selecting them. To help achieve the big success of the school play, our class contributed Gerald Cummings, Marjorie Jordan, Mar- garet Kelly, Grover Marshall, and Margaret Russell as actors and actresses. Stanley Flink and Charles Goodwin proved themselves to be excellent stage managers. It is also said that they are unexcelled in carrying sofas and tables. Another big event of the year was the Junior Assembly. A canteen for servicemen provided the theme. This assembly brought out much of the talent which is so abundant in our class. Another smash hit was merited by this assembly. Not to be left unmentioned are the numerous students who have taken part in the various clubs and organizations at school. The Art Club, Glee Club, Orchestra, and Band are only a few in which our classmates have become interested, The world of sports was also invaded by our stalwart men. The football team benefited by the participation of many outstanding Juniors. The field of basketball welcomed Raymond Pandora, Edward Norton, and Robert Kirby. Let us hope that our class will continue to be well repre- sented in school activities in the future. Our past years have been worthy of praise: let us look forward to the future with eagerness We, the Class of '47, in closing this review of the past years and our hopes and goals of the future, would not forget our class advisor, Miss Helen Robinson. She is more than an advisor to us: she has become an intimate friend, without whom, our goals would have seemed as distant as the stars in the sky.

Having left behind us the errors and verdancy of our Freshman days, we came back last September for a year in which we could do the pushing and knocking of the poor, helpless Frosh. But our Sophomoric period is nearing the close, and it doesn't seem much different from last year except that Latin II is harder to figure out than Latin I. August 14 brought a change to our nation and a grow- ing change to S. P. H. S. One by one, former teachers--new to us Sophomores but known by everyone else except the Frosh - are returning. We have our share of veterans who didn't have a chance to finish their high school before Uncle Sam called on them for help. Everyone has noticed that these boys are proudly reconverting from the khaki and the blue to the maroon and white. As for reconverting, the Class of 4-8 has definitely been undergoing a change, and the situation is well in hand! We have grown much older, very much more dignified, and we seem to realize the grave responsibility - both intellectually and socially-that it takes to be a Sophomore. Our behavior shows that we are aging fast. There's no more pushing and shoving Cexcept maybe for something to eatj, or running all over the building, and we never get lostl Our brains have certainly expanded with all the knowledge we have picked up this year. We seem to be acquiring more talent, too, for the Sophomore assembly went over big! One reason was its length-a period and a half-which will make any assembly well appreciated. It took place in Kaper Kollege and in Alley's Alley where the jokes came thick and fast. Everyone thought Frank Heinemann did a super job writing the script. May next year's assembly be just as good! As our country has had a new president in the past year, so has the Class of 48 . Hugh Costello has been transferred from that office to treasurer, and Bob lVlcVane has risen to the top place in the government of our class. We, also, see some new faces. Bev Price, our secretary, is a new member in our ruling council. When the machinery of a war time S. P. H. S. has been fully reconverted into a peace time S. P. H. S., there will be more activities, more sports, and all our needs will be fulfilled, Until then, we'll make the most of these years, and we must admit they are grand!

We, the boot crew of the S.S. Purpooduck Clipper, have nearly ended our trial run. At first, being caught in the confusing, turbulent tide of upperclassmen, strange teachers, and difliculty in finding various classrooms, We were tossed about like pieces of flotsam and jetsam, and things looked rather SNAFU fsituation natural, all fouled uphj. But by the time the annual hornpipe rolled around, at conclusion of which We formally discarded our bibs, events had commenced falling into everyday pattern, and the routine vvasn't nearly so SNAFU as our first Week of high school. At the reception we were introduced to Admiral Mahoney and the rest of the ship's officers. With the reception over, We detected storm Warnings looming on the horizon-MID-YEARS! I I Being experienced in the matter, We think We are duly qualified to say that the Frosh have found work fascinating, however. Not only can they, too, sit and look at it for hours, but they can even look it out of countenance. After a Week of vigorous exams, we emerged, hardened shellbacks, as testified by our shellback certificates. So with mid-years over, we may begin to think of ourselves as experi- enced seamen and commence to brush salt from our shoulders. It was during the school play, A Case of Springtime, that we discovered two stage aspirants among our lowly crew. They were Susanne Norton and Joan Thompson. l946 found the Freshman Class energetic in athletic ac- tivities. On the Freshman basketball team are Adams, Car- michael, Doane, Howe, Libby, Retter, Sears, Stoddard, Vir- tue, and Woodsum for the boys. On the girls' team are Boucher, Bowen, Brown, Coggins, Cooper, Ellis, Fischer, Matthews, Palmer, Tapley, Towle, Wass, Kane, Fogg, and Thompson. Those going out for football are too numerous to name. Billy Sears, who received his letter, was outstanding. The Frosh are also very well represented in glee club, band, debating, assemblies, and junior cheerleaders. With the worst part of the voyage over and clear sailing weather ahead, we pointed our course toward a new port and toward a jump in rate to second class aboard the S.S.

The coach problem was pretty tough, but our pal with the answer to the sixty-four dollar question, Dick Gustafson, was there to take over the reins until our new coach, George Martin, could be released from the O. S. S. branch of the armed forces. The boys were out as usual by the week before school opened. Gus was right back in the middle of his favorite sport. He used to coach one of the finest teams in the state. That, of course, was the Capers all the way. The training was tops and the boys worked hard. Gus put his whole heart and soul into the job of turning a winning team over to George Martin when he could get home. This he did well. Coach Martin came to us the second week in October, and Gus gave him a fine team. We had already played Cony and Westbrook, chalking up wins of 13-7 and 13-O, respectively. The team was rolling for athletic fame. Our old rivals, the Eddies , played us on our own field in one of the most spec- tacular games of the season. They had every advantage over us. The Caper linemen fought to the end. The Eddies edged us in the end with a 7-6 score. It was our turn to entertain our arch enemy, Deering, on our own Held. This is always one of the biggest games of the year. The bleachers didn't get very warm that day. The whole game was just one big thrill, but the Purple and White managed to take a 26-12 victory. The score doesn't tell of the fine teamwork our boys displayed. When the Biddeford team came down to see what they could do against us they found a pretty tough road to victory. The game was ours until the third period when they inter- cepted a pass giving them a take-home score of 19-13. Coach Martin is from Saco and he was determined to plow them under in the Thornton game, but the power was altogether too much for us. We tried as only the Capers could try, but the 19-O win was earned all the way. Bob MacVane starred as the Capers trounced Lewiston with a 26-12 victory. This game showed what we could do when the odds were anywhere near even. The Capers looked about as line as they had ever looked.

This was a real spine chiller with gambles on both sides. Portland gambled on a play with a few inches to go for a first down. They won. This happened twice in the game. Portland emerged with a 20-14 victory. Eddie Legere turned in a fine piece of football playing, His end runs were college football style and made up for some of our hard luck. He was rewarded by being named as all state back. Davis and Evans received honorable mention. The whole team gave an exhibition of good sportsman- ship--win or lose. Basketball The S. P. H. S. hoops were put into service early this year as Coach Ollie Berg went to work. His method is a tough grind, but the boys know basketball when the games start. The lights were on in the gym until 6:30 P. M. many nights as the task of shaping a superior team was in progress. The boys were at it with all they had and then some. The early season was brightened by a basketball clinic held at Deering High School at which the boys gained useful information. They toughened up, and by the time of the first game, on December l4, they were ready. Luck wasn't with us, and we had to bow to the Shipbuilders of Morse for a 23-27 loss. This only served to build up the boys' spirit for the big game with St. John's at the Boston Garden. The game meant a lot to the boys but we weren't up to such a team as St. John's had. The boys played a beautiful game doing their best to make Bostonians remember the Capers, After a tough game they took a 34-2l victory from us. lt was now our turn to make a stab at the Eddies . They look forward to this game for a good kill each year, and get a good surprise each year. This year we were edged out 35-36, but not because the Eddies played any better ball than we did. We had a few ambitious alumni back from the service who wanted to play basketball so they got their own team together. They tried but we trounced them 58-35. We, as well as others, found them to be good fighters. Across the bay there is a city by the name of Portland, and in that city there is a school by the name of Portland High, and, believe me, they are our rivals to the end. Basketball is one of the ways by which we try to get back at them. We played them at the Expo in one of the most thrilling games Boys Iumor Basketball Squad Boys' Freshman Basketball Squad of the year, but although we slipped the ball through the hoop many times, they copped us with a hang-up score of 33-42. We went back to the Eddies for more, but they are just plain bad luck to us this year, and we lost with a score of 36-4l. The boys didn't let much grass grow under their feet during that game. . Now the Purple and White were ready, and so were we. The only question was about the final score, which was un- certain all the way. Deering and Edward Little were both finalists in the Vv'estern Maine Tournament, and we were tied until the last minute of the game in all four games. The Deer- ing scores say 32-34 and 36-41, respectively, for Deering. We played Cheverus and did a good job, but they took the first game 37-54, and the second 30-33, showing a very good advance on our part. We did a good bit of playing at Biddeford and proved it with a 57-38 margin. We played good basketball this year with Co-Captains Eddie Legere and Les MacDonald, They were the only Seniors on the squad. We have a wonderful young team com- ing up. They were winners of the Freshman League this year. Next year, look out! It's a team of veterans. G1IlS Varsity Basketball Girls' Basketball Under the leadership of Coach Gretchen Nickerson and Captain Shirley Piston, the Girls' Varsity Basketball Squad came through the season of '45-'46 with a record of twelve games well played and six games won. Thelma Merry served efficiently as manager. By graduation, the varsity will lose Seniors Marie Hale, Betty Jordan, Maxine Keene, Peggy Millington, and Shirley Piston. On her return from the service next year, Coach Eleanor Chambers will have such veterans of varsity play as Theo Diamond, Pat Wallace, Janette Putnam, Joan Wiswell, and Anna Penwick. Miss Campbell coached an exceptionally good Prosh team which showed promising material for the future. The scores of the wins were as follows: Falmouth, 23- 20: Waynflete, 2-O, 39-21: Cathedral, 24-7: Alumnae, 14- 4: and St. Joseph, 44-19. The girls lost the following games: Cape Elizabeth, 41-21, 41-213 Westbrook, 43-31, 48-18: and Deering, 44-30, 19-11. Varsity sweaters were awarded to: Anna Fenwick, Peggy Millington, Maxine Keene, Beth Leighton, Hilda Cross, and Thelma Merry. Girls' Iunior Varsity Basketball Girls' Freshman Basketball Baseball Squad Baseball Hank LaVallee is back and the Capers have got him. Hank isn't Gable, but he sure is a baseball coach. The HEADLIGHT is going to press as the fifth game is under way. We have seven veterans but not one pitcher with any experience. The white pill is getting its proverbial squashing from such boys as Bill Evans, who has hit 3 out of 4. We copped the Bowdoin J. V.'s 9-2. We followed this up by a beautiful 10-5 victory over Thornton. Johnson pitched well and started us off in the Telegram League. Charlie Spear and Eddie Norton showed good playing also. Into every life some rain must fall and so it did for the Capers in the Biddeford game. As a matter of fact it was the infield that fell all to pieces. The errors mounted to nine against us and we were kind enough to give the Biddies a 13-1 decision. Westbrook Exed us with a 6-5 edge, again because of errors, in the fourth contest. Dick Harrington did a fine job hurling. We have Carmichael and Stoddard looking good for the future but we are losing Evans, Pitman, Nisbett, Spear, Ear- mer, and Standley. We opened our season well, and it looks bright for South Portland in spite of the 14-9 Victory chalked up by Deering in the last game as this goes to press. SQRIiS 1946 Track Team Track The Caper physics teacher removed his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and went to work, processing one of the finest track squads ever known in this vicinity. With the aid of Charlie Kahill and George Martin, Track Coach Spud Nason is responsible for some really fine athletes, in every sense of the word. All one has to do is look at any sports page containing track results, and he will see where South Portland stands. To the count of l, 2, 3, 4, 4-3-2-l, the boys were hardened for the gruelling work that lay ahead. Some people think track is an easy sport, but it proves to be one of the toughest of all. After weeks in the gym, the suits were given out, and we challenged Portsmouth. The indoor track team of S. P. H. S. took on Portsmouth and sent them home a hapless bunch with a score of 69-l7 for South Portland. Next on our list was Lewiston. We caught them 6l-30. Deering took a swing at us, hoping for an easy victory, but we trounced them with an extremely acceptable score of 68- l8, Portsmouth came back for more, only this time they brought Deering with them. Again we came out on top with a score of 44 for South Portland, 30 for Portsmouth, 16 for Deering. Deering ganged up on us again, with Lewiston this time, but again we showed them there was no stopping the Capers. This score was 50 for South Portland, 41 for Lewis- ton, and 17 for Deering. MacCormack-and Pitman starred, with MacDonald and Baldwin not far behind. Ronnie MacCormack is one of the fastest men in the State and turned in some beautiful work, while Pitman has never been beaten in the thousand. The spring track involved Bowdoin inter-scholastic. Portsmouth, Lewiston, and Thornton, Bates relays, Ports- mouth Clipper relays, Four-Cornered, and, last but not least, the Maine State meet. The South Portland track team of '45-'46 has enjoyed a successful season.

Anxious parents bid us a fond farewell and left us with the thought to leave a few things in Washington and not bring back any more souvenirs than we could help. The group under Miss Phyllis Davidson's gentle and understanding care spent four most enjoyable days in Wash- ington-days we won't soon forget and whose memories we'll long cherish. The weather was blistering. We shed our Easter bonnets and toppers and set forth on our way to let Washington know that we had arrived. Several of the really ambitous went plunging at the Ambassador Hotel, in the pool, that is, a swimming pool. Among the eager beavers were: Mary Barr, Elaine Baum, Betty Jordan, Vesta McLellan, Jeanne Olsen, Ella Leeman, Marilyn Wallace, Mary Brown, Dottie Wallace, and Allegra Anderson. One afternoon was spent going over the grounds at Annapolis. Of course, the boys went to see what type of uni- forms the cadets were wearing, but the girls went to see what type was wearing the uniforms. A trip to the Smithsonian Institute was interesting and provided us with a good laugh. After we all had piled into the bus-and we did literally pile-and had ridden off the grounds, it seemed as if our crew was slightly on the quiet side. Sure enough! We weren't all there. Madeleine Maloney and Carolyn Luce had taken a shine to the place and had planned to make a more lengthy visit. Back we went, picked up the rest of our crew and were off again. Betty Jordan made a special study of architecture-espe- cially stairways. She wanted to study stairs at first hand and get the feel of the steps. She took flight after flight in her stride, and showed any curious observers how we do things in Maine. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a sight which will linger in the minds of all of us. The changing of the guard was especially impressive. The Tomb held special significance for us-the Hrst class from South Portland to visit the scene since the close of the war. A few of the other places visited were the Pan-American building which is noted for its architectural beauty. Several of the girls climbed the Washington Monument to the very top. At the Capitol, under the direction of a special guide, we visited Statuary Hall and sat in on one session of the Senate. We saw Senator Vandenburg and Senator White, Everyone piled into the good old bus Tuesday afternoon and started off for Mount Vernon. We visited all over the house and saw the original tomb of Martha and George Washington. We all complained of the torrid weather except Lois Allen who in a big way qualified for equatorial regions. The bus driver probably was glad to see us leave as our tunes weren't too harmonious, but we enjoyed ourselves and that's what counts. At 8:30 P. M., Wednesday, April 24, we rode rather downheartedly to Washington's Union Station. Although we'd been there only four days, we'd all grown quite attached to the city. ' Then came New York-our last stop before home. We managed to get a glimpse of the Empire State Building and suffered no broken necks. A tour of Wall Street, the Bowery, and Chinatown took up one afternoon. Back to the Wellington, pick up our bags, board another bus, and off for the Pine Tree State! We arrived in Portland at 6:45 A. M., Friday morning, a little on the weary side, slightly mussed and travel worn, but it was all part of the trip and Well worth our while. A good time was had by all. School Play T School Play A comedy, The Case of Springtime, by Lee Sherman, was this year's annual school play. The leading roles were filled by Jeanne Olsen and Robert Brimecombe, a newcomer to our stage. Two finds from the Freshman class were Joan Thompson and Susanne Norton. Veterans Grover Marshall, Peggy Russell, Gerald Cum- mings, Robert Waterman, and Betty Kelly interpreted their parts well and each was a hit in his own right. Newcomers to the boards of our school were Marjorie Jordan, Audrey Slater, Thelma Stevenson, and Ralph Worth- ing, who did much toward rounding out a fine supporting cast. Elissa Berg truly deserves a big hand as an eflicient prompter, as well as the Stage Managers, Leslie MacDonald, Charlie Goodwin, and Stanley Flink. Rehearsals were filled with a few headaches, but mostly work, a lot of laughter and fun. It was a riot for the others when Kenny Allen had to walk off the stage with his hat on - a hat containing a broken egg! We wonder how Kenny liked it. Bing Worthing's chewed cigar and Betty Kelly's trials with the fly paper were a constant source of laughter. Gerry Cummings, always eating apples and Thelma Steven- son's black-rimmed glasses were good for plenty of smiles. The coaches, all three of them, certainly deserve plenty of praise for all their hard work. Production night, as the curtain rose on a fine audience, the knocking knees that could be heard practically in the back row, gradually stopped knocking and an A-l performance was given. 5' - 'Q -54 V ls ,Eli xx ig Band Band Of all the school organizations, the band represents South Portland High most often. Under the able leadership of Mr. Rowe, the band is an excellent practice for promising young musicians. It is one of the hardest working organizations in school, starting work at 8: 10, three mornings a week. The band plays many varieties of music, from excerpts from operas to circus parades, from marches to overtures. The band appears everywhere. They have played for all home football games, rallies, and assemblies, except for Easter and Christmas. They furnish the music for the school play, and again for the Senior play. This year they played for the Allen Wood lecture given by the matrons of Meeting House Hill. They held a concert and dance sponsored by the Band Mothers on March 29. The big events of the year are the festivals at Sanford and Gloucester. In order to go to the New England Festival in Gloucester, Mass., the band must first be judged at the Maine Festival in Sanford. Last, but not least, the band intends to play for graduation on June 12. Glee Club The South Portland High School Glee Club has won fame for our school on many counts this year. The group has an excellent repertoire. Their voices are very well blended and one can always be sure of a superlative performance. The young people have Worked hard to gain the stage appearance which some people call professional. No small measure of their excellence comes from their coach, Miss Madeline Perazzi, who has Worked enthusiastically with them to help them do their best. Their first performance this year was for the school at the Christmas assembly on December 18. They presented the regular Yuletide carols and also some new arrangements of unfamiliar carols. The pageantry on the stage during the singing was very lovely. Their second public appearance was as the guests of the South Portland Lions' Club. They sang such songs as: Little David, Battle Hymn of the Republic, and Were You There? The Lions' Club was very much pleased with their musical offerings. Orchestra G1r1s and Boys' Glee Club On March 8 came their first big public concert of the year. So many little things had to be conquered before that night. They must all be able to sit, rise, and bow on cue . . . and to train seventy high school students to do these things perfectly is almost impossible! Under the pressure of continued warn- ings that if they weren't perfect she would call the concert off they did the things right. They sang fifteen numbers, among which were Seboney, Minka, and Southern Rose. A regular Cilee Club member, Doris Clark, gave three piano numbers, Rachmaninoflps Prelude, Romance, by Schu- man, and The Harmonica Player by Ciuion. On April 12, they were part of the annual Lions' Club show. They sang four numbers at the end of the program. The Easter assembly on April 18 contained a group of twelve choristers from the Cilee Club who sang appropriate Easter hymns. The whole Glee Club is looking expectantly to the future. May 1 l, they will be competing in the Western Maine Festi- val at Sanford, Maine, where they will be ranked on such things as ability to hold an audience, facial expressions, and, of course, tone quality. They are fairly certain of bringing a high score back to the school. They Will, also, be at the New England Festival in Gloucester, Massachusetts, on May 24 and 25. The president of the club is Ronald MacCormack, Senior president. The vice president of the group is Russell Emery, a Ereshman, who is a valuable member of the Culee Club. The pianist, Doris Clark, was elected secretary. Last but not least comes their treasurer, Peggy Russell, a Junior. The group also elected an advisory committee which is as follows: Don Cook, Rainey Davis, Joan Berry. There are sixteen Seniors in the group and they would like to put on another concert this year as it is their last spring in High School. The Seniors who will be leaving the Glee Club are: Allegra Anderson. Doris Clark, Jean Crowley, Virginia DePeter, Elaine Kenney, Lois Ledin, Vera Lewis, Mary Moran, Ronald MacCormack, Ann Norton, Joan Nor- ton, Martha Norton, Meralyn Trefethen, Dorothy Wallace, Robert Waterman, Ralph Worthing. Glee Club Ofhcers Debahng Team Debating Remember reading in your history books about those famous debates between Lincoln and Douglas and Webster and Hayne? Well those four men haven't a thing on our own silver-voiced practitioners of the art of extemporaneous speak- ing who are nearing the end of a very active season under the guidance of Miss Loveitt and Mr. Hutchinson. The first event on the slate was the Bowdoin League in the fall at which our school was ably represented by veteran Clifford Walton and Bruce Whitney, a newcomer to the squad. There they discussed the advisability of vesting in the President the authority to ratify treaties with the consent of the majority of both houses of Congress. Compulsory military training was the topic for the de- baters to match wits on during the winter and spring. The first event at which this topic was debated was a practice tournament where our debating team played host to debaters from Maine and New Hampshire. At the speaking contests of the National Forensic League at Lewiston, several of our speakers participated and Bruce Whitney extemporized his way into the semi-finals. In the debating contests of the National Forensic League, held at Portland, Jeanine Fenwick, Grover Marshall, and Bruce Whitney upheld the affirmative while Priscilla Webster, James Tolman, and William Tibbetts were on the negative. South Portland has walked its way into the Hnals at Bates College in the Bates League, the man event of the year, there- by eliminating Lewiston, last year's winners, and Bridgton, the two schools which were in the same triangle. The climax of the debating season came at Lewiston, April 12, when South Portland was one of ten schools to par- ticipate in the semi-Hnals of the tournament conducted by the Bates Debating League. By winning three of its four debates, South Portland qualified for the Hnal round of debates on April 13. At that time our aflirmative team, which went through the tournament undefeated, defeated Cheverus, 2-l, and our negative team lost to Skowhegan, 2-l. South Port- land placed second in the tournament and was awarded the coveted trophy for second place. Jeanine Fenwick received honorable mention as one of the tournament's outstanding speakers. Her colleague on the ailirmative team was Grover Marshall: the negative speakers were Priscilla Webster and James Tolman. sw- up fi K.,-' Projection and Sound Equipment Operators Art Club Cheerleaders Stamp and Bond Chairmen Girls' Riding Group ,V 2 5 3 Ei ,z , 3 s Girls' Bowling Group Boys' Rifle Club Girls' Rifle Club Headlight Board JEANINE FENWICK ALLEGRA ANDERSON MARGARET O'NEILL JAMES T OLMAN JEAN CROWLEY DAWN SLATER JEAN CROWLEY MAVIS JONES BARBARA FRENCH MARJORIE CHANDLER MARION NEUTS JEANNETTE LAPOINTE CLINTON CARLE Editors Contributors Class Editors ROGER GOULD JEAN WALDRON ROBERT HARRIS THELMA STEVENSON NANCY WHIPPLE PAULINE TRUDELL MARJORIE JORDAN JOAN MATTHEWS MARGARET LUNT Typists JOAN STOVER Assistant Typists Art Editors JEANNE DOHERTY DOROTHY GRAFFAM ORCHIS SHAW VIRGINIA DEPETER LORRAINE LABREE Assistant Art Editor JANET HARTHORNE Photograph Editors HAROLD BOYCE BEVERLY CRIMMIN Assistants, Photograph Editors JENNIE ANDERSON ROBERT FALCONI Business DOUGLAS BROWN, Chairman JOHN ANDERSON KATHERINE SKILLIN CHARLES NICKERSON DOROTHY GRAEEAM RICHARD TUPPER MARY MORAN ANN NORTON MARGARET RUSSELL BEVERLY BRYCE Girls' Swimming Group Girls' Hockey Team S Br W sgx E MM?
