Why must the hunger of an alien clan, Slack-jawed with eyes forlorn, Be fed upon our pouring stores of grain- Presumably that Warriors may be born? I only know that One has said Who walked near Galilee, As do you to the least of these, So do you unto me. -HOWARD HAYES Ne Th Umm. no Ir yhr n OU Hes o We man Teac he ra 0 7 Know THAT QUT HL TOLD W mf a' Y rp l Ms Y T4 hm!

FAITH The child, While gazing at the sky, Heard a casual passer-by Remark, There is no God. 'But how did all this come to be 4 The earth, the sky, and little me If We don't haveha Lord? Before she went to bed, that night She knelt and prayed with all her might. 'You must be there, dear Lord?' An angel in. her dream did peep, And thenshe slept a peaceful sleep. She knew there was a God. -MARY LOU CRONAN, '47 .

Senior Class History As we, the Class of '47, are about to graduate, we wel- come the opportunity to review these past four years of many trying and joyous moments. Let us glance at a few of the well-thumbed pages of the HEADLIGHT and glimpse the Class of '47 as Freshmen. As we open the book we notice a picture of our class ofli- cers. There's Bob Keene, who was elected president, and Nancy Crosby, who was vice president, and Peggy Russell, who was secretary. That boy on the end looks rather un- familiar. Let's see - oh yes, that's Ray Pandora, our class treasurer. That only goes to prove how much we have changed since those bygone days. In our Sophomore year, we shed our coat of green and adapted ourselves to the schedule of South Portland High School. In fact, no one could tell us from Seniors Cthat is, no one except the Seniorsj . This year, Ray Pandora was elevated to the presidency, and Peggy Russell to the vice presidency. Bob Keene was elected treasurer, and Jean Barry was our secretary. The pages of the HEADLIGHT of 1946 are worn and stained for that was a year of excitement and pleasure, and it has become almost a habit to thumb through these pages recalling our jubilant Junior days. Our class oflicers were elected in the early part of the year, and Rav Pandora was once again chosen to lead our class. Peggy Russell was elected to serve a second term as vice presi- dent. Marjorie Coperthwaite was our class secretary, and Charlie Goodwin, our treasurer. When we became Seniors, we immediately held the elec- tion of officers, for we realized that this was to be our biggest and best year. Ray Pandora retained the presidency: Bob Keene was elected vice president: Marjorie Jordan, secretary: and Nancy Gregware, treasurer. It was in the fall of 1946 that our class experienced a great loss in the death of Galen Beckwith and Howard Hayes, in whose memory we have set aside a page of our HEADLIGHT - truly one of the things which will make us cherish it the more. Now, our school days are nearly over, and the day of graduation is at hand. As this day to remember approaches, we experience both joy and sadness - joy because we have worked hard and this is our reward - sadness because this is the parting of the ways, because our high school days are over, because it is goodbye to South Portland High School. Senior Class Officers President, Raymond Pandora: Vice President, Bob Keen: Secretary, Mar- jorie Jordan: Treasurer, Nancy Gregwarc. Senior Executive Committee Charles Goodwin, Ross Bickford, Joan Sawyer, Peggy Russell, Marjorie Coperthwaite, Ray Davis. Senior Reception Speakers Senior Class Day Speakers Senior Class Play Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, a comedy in three acts, was chosen as this year's class play. The leading parts were taken by Marjorie Jordan, as Cornelia Otis Skinner, and Joan Sawyer, as Emily Kim- brough. Marjorie Jordan displayed exceptional ability as the incomparable Cornelia Otis Skinner. Joan Sawyer had the audience in the aisles with her facial expressions and uproari- ous actions. These two leading characters were ably sup- ported by Nancy Gregware, as Cornelia's mother: Grover Marshall, as Cornelia's fatherg Bob Ridley and Ray Davis, as two young medical students, Betty Hale and Mary Cronan, two English girlsg Jerry Cummings, the ship's steward: Ross Bickford, the ship's purser: Tony Nappi, the Admiral: Betty Kelley, a French maid, Marjorie Clark, her motherl Pat LaRochelle, a medical inspector: Bob Bent, a French actor, and Charlie Merrill, a bewildered window cleaner. The stage managers, Stuart Marsh, Frank Tillou, Fran- cis Malia, and Charlie Bruns deserve great credit for the swell job they did making this year's scenery. Johnnie Anderson deserves special credit for the wonderful job he did in putting in a sink with running water. With the coaches, the cast of characters, the stage mana- gers, and the prompter all working together the play was a great success. 352 Y, yx X MM ui' l -U Iunior Class Officers President, Robert lVlacV:1ne: Vice President.

Iuniors The rocket ship was well-stocked with a full supply of pens, pencils, and erasers, and the fuel tank was overflowing with gas, so the Class of '48 took off for another journey through blue skies and storm clouds. The passenger list was made up of the names of some very well-known celebrities. Among them were the leading officials in the country of Juniorovia. President Bob MacVane was accompanied on this journey by Nancy Davis, vice presi- dent: Bev Bryce, secretary: and Jim Henry, treasurer. They were all veterans at rocket-flying, so they made themselves comfortable and set to work on affairs of state. They were assisted in this Work by Anna Fenwick, Elissa Berg, Greta Gustafson, Clair Nickerson, Hugh Costello, and Frank Heine- mann. Suddenly the whole ship was shaken by a terrific storm cloud. Some were prepared for the shock and came through with smiling faces. Others began to fail rapidly. ln the hope that all the passengers would perk up and continue safely on their journey, a special show was put on. Some of the big names were the Dolan twins, Don Carrier, Jeannine Jordan, Harriet Johnson, Grace Everest, and Bob Johnson. The big news was at last broadcast over the rocket ship's communication system - we were nearing our destination - Mars! A trip to Mars! What could be more exciting and glamorous! And what could better mark such an occasion than a formal banquet and dance. We were fortunate to have a group of able speakers address us at the banquet. Nancy Davis, Norma Geneva, Bev Bryce, Frank Heinemann, Jim Henry, Elliot Bryce, and Bob MacVane all delivered their after-dinner speeches to a very pleased and appreciative audi- ence.

Sophomores Here we are on the second lap of our four years' training cruise through South Portland High School. When we Hnally settled down from our summer shore leave, class elections were held, The following officers were elected: Skipper, Russ Emeryg First Mate, Gwen Davis: Pur- ser, Barb Barnes: Paymaster, Lin Stoddard. Petty Oflicers elected were: Susanne Norton, Dotty Moran, Peggy Lunt, Bill Sears, Eddie Woodsum, and Leon Etter. Next on the docket was the Sophomore Assembly in which the Class of 1949 displayed a lot of heretofore latent talent. The theme was a mock court in which entertainers from a night club were tried. All participants gave five star acts, and Louise Cromwell rates a big hand for her good- natured performance as accompanist. Aspirants for Oscars in the school play were Jo Thompson, Barbara Cox. and Susanne Norton. Because of the Soph's natural ability to make themselves heard, the following assassins of silence won the jobs of cheer- leaders: Polly Luce, Dotty Moran, Russ Emery, Jack Curry, and Frank Wagner. In the sports department, Fingers Woodsum, Dick Carmichael, and Bill Sears won their letters in football. This same trio also won their letters in winter sports-Carmichael and Woodsum in basketball and Sears in track, In addition to winning his letter Sears also won the Ellis Trophy, given in memory of Bud Ellis, Class of '4l. In the female half of the sports world, Jackie Bowen, Joan Thompson, and .Ioan Towle played basketball in var- sity competition. To skip from sports to the scholastic department! In French class we had a diflicult time getting le petit Pierre to Paris, but finally managed to do so. Miss Davidson has her own sequel to Open the Door Richard with her Ouvrez la fenetre, Edward. I As usual, Caesar took his annual slaughtering in Latin c ass. The Class of '49, resumed the custom of having a Slpphomore Hop this year, plus the added attraction of a floor s ow. Sophs were well represented in Cmlee Club, Debating, Relay, and Riflle Club. Thus we ended the school year with but one complaint, the age old one of school beginning too early and recess being too short. Sophomore Class Members Abbott, Carolyn Adams, Fred Adams, Ralph F.

In the cabin several of the passengers are reminiscing with the stewardess. Looking back they can picture them- selves as they were when they first entered the plane in Septem- ber. A little shy and scared to begin with, they felt their con- fidence coming back as they noticed the only difference be- tween themselves and the upperclassmen was the superior look and the unshaking knees of the upperclassmen. The first week or so, Frosh dreams were more like night- mares. A jumble of Latin is a language of endings, You must know your algebra rules, Take the third vocabulary for French, Read the first chapter on early man, and Con- jugate the verb see, indicative mode. They soon got over this however, and started dreaming about the boy with brown eyes in history, that blonde with the cute smile, and who was going to win Saturday's football game. After a few weeks they got so they could distinguish be- tween the upperclassmen. The Seniors were those who knew everyone and everything for thought they didl, and treated Freshies Cwhen they saw them at alll, like human beings in a slightly patronizing way. The Juniors, as a rule were pretty nice, if a little snobbish because they were so soon to be Seniors. The Sophomores were a little inclined to treat the poor Frosh like babies so no one could guess what a short time ago they had been Freshmen. Freshman Reception was the Hrst bright spot on the horizon. There they met Mr. Beal and Mr. Mahoney and all the rest of the teachers. They really pitied the teachers who had to greet almost four hundred Freshmen, while the Fresh- men themselves had to meet only thirty-eight teachers. Leroy Pardue was Freshman representative. About the middle of January, the plane ran into some storm clouds and everyone was afraid they wouldn't get through, but the plane was strong and went through with only minor casualties. After the mid-year cloud had passed, the Freshmen were decidedly more cheerful and spent more time at basketball games and dances instead of studying. By now, you see, they were seasoned veterans, and a little thing like homework didn't bother them.

The Cony team put up a good fight, but the Capers beat them by a score of 18-7. The next week, much to the surprise of Caper fans, the Capers struck a stalemate against Westbrook. Westbrook led by one touchdown well into the last of the game. The Capers finally managed to tie it up, and the game ended in a 7-7 tie. ' The next Friday, the Capers journeyed to Auburn to play Edward Little under the arcs. A bloody game resulted. and the Capers went wild: they rolled over the Eddies by a score of 20-6. Next on the Caper list was Deering, a football arch opponent. The Capers battled stubbornly, but were forced to accept a 20-7 defeat. The following Saturday, the Capers journeyed to Bidde- ford to lose a heart-breaker by a score of 21-14. Thornton Academy loomed as the next opponent. Thornton had a greatly weakened team, and the Capers were rolled under by a score of 29-0. Going into the Armistice Day classic, Portland was highly favored over the Capers, but much to the surprise of Portland and South Portland fans, the Portland team was pushed all over the field. The Portland team fought stub- bornly, but fell under the Caper power by a score of 34-12. All Captains MQW All Coaches x Y Boys' Varsity Basketball Basketball, Season 1946-47 Led by Captain Eddie Norton, the Capers finished the season with a record of eleven wins and seven losses. Athletic Director, Hank LaVallee, fashioned an at- tractive l8-game schedule which included a trip by train to Boston, where the Red Riots played St. John's of Concord, N. H. The highlight of the season was the Capers' soul-inspir- ing but heart-breaking loss to Rockland in the opening round of the tournament. Bob Kirby came through with the top feat of the season in that game. As all the fans know, Bob did the impossible, by sending the game into an overtime with his two clutch foul shots. South Portland fans were happy that night the Capers knocked off top-seeded Cheverus. The two decisive wins over our arch-rival Portland were bright spots in the campaign. In the second Portland game, Captain-elect Bob MacVane and Captain Ed Norton turned in their best game of the sea- son. Kirby's 30-point score in the first game with Lewiston was the highest total reached by a Caper in many a year. Next year's team looks good. Supporting l'll Take My Chances MacVane are big Ed Woodsum, smooth-looking Dick Carmichael, steady Merle Jordan, hard-working Jack Wiggins, and Bob Howe, Bill Sears, Lin Stoddard, Wes Vir- tue, Wilbur Wildes, Walt Norton. With this array of experi- enced veterans, the Capers should go places. gxxyf Boys' Iunior Basketball Squad Boys' Freshman Basketball xl lx Girls Varsity Basketball .N .L D 'unify Girls' Basketball C- Under the inspiring direction of Coach Chambers once again, our sharp-shooting forwards led the l947 girls' basket- ball team through a most successful season, winning seven games out of eleven. The season began with such outstanding players as Captain Anna Fenwick, Janette Putnam, Joanne Wiswell, Irma Cousins, Ruth Burnham, Theo Diamond, Beth Leighton, Jackie Bowen, Bobby Woodbury, Bev Bryce, Joan Towle, and Joan Thompson. The season's high scorer was Joanne Wiswell with 109 points, Janette Putnam fol- lowing with 45 and Jackie Bowen with 43. Carolyn Boucher led her Junior Varsity team to five wins out of eight games, Helen Tapley racking up seventy-five points with Carolyn Boucher sixty-three for the Red Riots. Our Freshman team has shown outstanding material for next year. These Freshmen have won honor and praise from all the upperclassmen. They are Captain Rita Poulin, Bev Thomas, Chris Briggs, Bea Burnham, Betty Tolman, Norma DeWitt, Barb Concannon, Madolyn Jordan, Martha Whit- more, Connie Stack, Catherine Howe, Charlotte Brinchman, Priscilla Rand, Phyllis Rand, Evelyn McNlannis, and Pat Haskell.

Dick Car- michael pitched no-run ball until the 7th inning when T. A. pushed across 2 runs to spoil his good day's work. This game was stopped in the last of the 7th inning because of cold weather. In our second contest we copped the Biddeford High nine by a score of 10 to 3 with southpaw Gene Class, our ace hurler, and Bob MacVane excelled at bat with three runs apiece. Up to press time there have been 2 postponements. These may help the Capers, however, for we have a staff of 5 pitchers at our disposal, should the weatherman let us have a sudden clear spell. Our pitching staff includes Class, Johnson, Carmichael, M. Jordan, and Eugene Griiiin. This year the Capers will lose Class, Norton, Kirby, Pandora, Moores, and Johnson, six valuable players. However, the future looks bright for we have such underclassmen as MacVane, Wiggins, Henry, Sears, Stoddard, and Carmichael playing excellent ball. The team has a tough 16-game schedule ahead of them at press time. So with our first two league games won and under our belt, we are all looking hopefully toward a success- ful baseball season. J fx X VU Xu W WNVXX NYSX gwnewv TXLKET5 Qox, U ,pv- JX -X SIM kf Track Team Track Season of Forty-Seven The track squad of forty-seven has turned in some over- whelming victories both indoors and out, thanks to the untir- ing efforts of our coach, Spud Nason, and his faithful assistants, George Martin and Charles Kahill. George Martin has won high school fame as a very competent starter. The flnal outcome of the indoor season was topped by our victory as state champions at the four-cornered meet at the Exposition Building. At this four-cornered meet there were two memorial trophies given in honor of Bob MacGlone and Clayton Ellis who had set previous track records for the high jump and the forty-five yard dash. Bill Sears and Rebel Hudgins were the two boys on our squad who brought them home. For the outdoor season, our track team won the Sub- urban Track Meet which was held on our field. Some of the fellows who made this season a successful one are: Joe Vacchiano-short put, discus, and javelin thrower. Gary Beckwith-a swell miler who, by the way, is only a Freshman. Clair Nickerson-a quarter-miler. Brad Michaels-a quarter-miler. Bob Ellis-a hurdler and high jumper. Tom Henderson-a Freshman who has really made a showing in the short put, discus, and javelin. Dick Seavey-a very successful javelin thrower. mwa. W...-al? ,Q ,,.,.w...-hui-ffffvlvl-'9 w Rainy Wwfw ' W we W NW , 1 -. we- ,audit 4. W Hw- , vi? 4 . 4 H Y 1 . . . M .

'-x - Washington Trip Washington Trip After several hours J eleven to be exact - of riding on buses, ferry boats, and dusty trains, We arrived happy but tired at Union Station - Washington, that is! Sunday found almost everyone at the Franciscan Monas- tery in the morning. After lunch we had a lovely drive out through Alexandria to Mount Vernon. On the way back We stopped at the Lincoln Memorial. This impressed us the most of any of the public buildings. That evening we took over the Congressional Library. Monday we got up early. It was a lovely day. We fooled the people back home by having perfect weather all the time we were away. We visited the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. It was quite a disappointment because they didn't pass out any souvenirs. We went to the Smithsonian Insti- tute, the Pan American Union, and the Capitol. Monday afternoon was spent for the greater part on touring buses. In between rides, We peered around Annapolis. Tuesday morning was a memorable occasion. We visited the National Zoological Society-in other words--the zoo. The most interesting part was the monkey house. There was one chimpanzee in particular that Worked up the ire of Alice Vamvakias, Bob Bent, Tony Nappi, Miss Robinson, and Miss Campbell. It seems he hadn't been taught any manners. The Relay Staff Relay Joanne and Janice and Jean! 1947's Three Musketeers! The Dauntless Three! The Three Little Print-cesses. They dunnit! They Wanted a newspaper-so did We all. But they explored the possibilities. They bombarded the oflice and draped themselves about the necks of Whatever faculty mem- bers Would lend half an ear, The School Play A Date With Judy, a comedy in three acts, was this year's school play. The leading roles were taken by Peggy Russell as Judy, Jerry Cummings as Randolph, Marjorie Jor- dan as Mrs. Poster, and Grover Marshall as Mr. Poster. They were ably supported by Bob Ridley, Joan Sawyer, Jean Barry, Marjorie Clark, Joan Thompson, Suzanne Norton, Jean Jones, Ken Allen, Barbara Cox, and Russell Emery. Barbara and Russell are newcomers in S. P. H. S. histrionics. l947 will be looking for them when as alumni it visits next year's plays. This year's presentation was filled with laughs. Grover Marshall as Judy's father was forever having tantrums, and Jerry Cummings as her precocious brother always seemed to delight in making his sister the butt of his whimsical remarks. A new crooner was discovered in Bob Ridley, who took the part of Judy's tall, gangling boy friend, Oogie Pringle. The stage managers, Stuart Marsh, Frank Tillou, Char- lie Cmoodwin, Francis Malia, and William Stevens, deserve much praise for the late hours and hard work spent on the scenery, as does Betty Kelly, who did an ellicient job in prompting the players. Came the big night. As the curtain rose we were thrilled to welcome the largest audience ever to attend an S. P. H. S. stage performance. Everyone gradually swallowed the lump in his throat and came through with the proverbial South Portland spirit. The Debatmg Team Back row: Miss Loveitt, Jane Lehman, Margaret Langlois, Donald Weatherbee, Mary Cronan, Mr. Hutchinson. Front row: Grover Marshall, Charlotte Lombard, Alicia Daniels, Joanne Rodzen, John Henry. Debating Team A group of eight hard-Working students comprises this year's debating team. They are Margaret Mary Langlois, Mary Cronan, and Grover Marshall, Affirmative: and Jane Lehman, Chapman Stockford, and John Henry, Negative: all of whom will represent South Portland in the Bates League, Charlotte Lombard and Donald Weatherbee. Thus far, there have been two major events: the Bow- doin League Debate and a practice tournament. The school was represented at Bowdoin by John Henry, Negative, Grover Marshall, Aflirmativeg and Donald Weatherbee, Alternate. They discussed Federal aid to educa- tion. Although not winners, South Portland Debaters per- formed admirably and Grover Marshall received honorable mention in the debate as best speaker of his forum. As this article is being written, the team has just entered its winter season. It is discussing whether the Federal Govern- ment should provide medical care for all citizens at public expense. Coming events include the Bates League Debate, March 25-26 and the National Forensic League Debates, March 29. The Band The Band The Band is undoubtedly one of the busiest, hardest working organizations in South Portland High School. Un- der the capable direction and careful supervision of Mr. Rowe, who never says die, even after his breathless wonders have reached the heights of perfection, these fifty-two talented young musicians are proud to represent their school whenever they are asked to play. It is a standard obligation to play for all rallies, assemblies, home football games and such special occasions as the Lions' Club Show, the Memorial Day Parade, and graduation. At Christmas and Easter, the Band turns the program over to its rival, the Cilee Club. Most important of all the Band's activities, is its annual spring concert, which this year was held March 21. It is here that we see the final accomplishments of long hours of hard practice. The selections for this year's concert included fast- stepping marches, Ovettures, excerpts from symphonies, and an occasional comedy number. Now that the curb of transportation has been lifted, we feel sure that we shall be able to attend the Maine and the New England festival. The New England festival is to be held at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Composers' Club Orchestra Glee Club The Glee Club A Good evening, everybody. This is the Radio Voice of Vacationland, W. P. O. R., bringing you the talented S. P. H. S. Glee Club under the superb conduction of Miss Madeline Perrazif' Cn the evening of December 14, 1946, many ardent fans glued their ears to the radio and were carried away by the S. P. H. S. Glee Club--Perazzi style. The group began this year by giving a dance to raise proceeds for the Club. Grand decorations and an unestimated number of couples made it a huge success. Shortly before the Christmas holidays, the young people donned choir robes and presented a very impressive Christmas Assembly. The year 1947 exploded into being with an entertain- ment at the Rossini Club and a joint concert with the Student Philharmonic Orchestra. The patrons of the Rossini Club commended the Glee Club on their excellent presentation. At the present, all attention is focused on the forthcom- ing spring festivals. Miss Perrazi and the group will put their shoulders to the wheel to display a top-notch group from South Portland High. The Maine festival will be held at Lewiston, May 17. The New England festival will be held over the weekend of March 24th. This year will be topped off by a proposed concert and dance to be held at the high school. . French Club Art Club A xi Cheerleaders I. V. Cheerleaders WR Curtis Drive Chairmen Projection and Sound Equipment Operators Camera Club Camera Club 1947 This is the Hrst year since 1945 that the school has had an organized Camera Club. Mr. William Dow, back from the Marine Corps, is the faculty advisor. The purpose of the Camera Club is to give the members experience in the ways and means of darkroom techniques. The first meeting was held October 31, 1946. The fol- lowing officers were elected: president, Roger Allen: vice president, James Smith: secretary, Lorraine Cook: treasurer, George lVlcC1lauflin. During the course of the year four oflicial business meetings were held and three speakers addressed the group. Biff McGlauflin, treasurer, was staff photographer for the school paper. He also was supplied by previous clubs with equipment and chemicals. The total membership is fourteen. The members plan to enter the National High School Photographic Contest in the latter part of May. Because of the lack of photographic ma- terial the activitiesof the Club have been limited. A group went to Cape Elizabeth recently to photograph the remains of the ill-fated collier, Oakey L. Alexander.
