The selectmen were requested to a schoolmaster. The first account of the actual emplo if of one was in 1733 when Robert Bagley was hired to tea The Purpooduck school was held in the garrison house o . ring Point under his instruction. 5' The seats for the pupils were short lengths of logspfaced on end, and the desks were formed by driving pegs info 'disks or lengths of tree trunks. The books were such as had been brought from Enjand, and Master Bagley's heart was Hlled with joy when no more than six pupils were forced to use the same book. A fresh supply of birch switches was cut each morning by one of the pupils, and the switches weren't used for fuel. The first high school in South Portland was known as the Point Schoolhouse where one term was conducted. An- other term was held at Turner's Island, and later a brick high school was erected at Town House Corner. The high school sessions continued to be held in this building until 1921 when it was destroyed by ire. The present South Portland High School is one of the most modern and well-appointed school buildings in the State of Maine.

This is South Portland's first schoolhousmgiwhich was built at the head of Ferry Wharf. In the background are theffastern Promenade and the Portland Observatory. Previous to the erection of this building, school was taught at various houses where a room was hired for that purpose. This school- house was of the traditional one-story variety. The interior very plain. There were two long rows of benches running the lenggliof the room with an aisle in the center. The lower end of the room was domi- nated by a large box stove. This building served not only as a school but public ingetfings, lectures, and entertainments were also held there. However, iii 1851, the increasing population of South Portland had outgrown the ifhool facilities and a new and larger school was erected on School Street The old schoolhouse was condemned and sold to Captain Joseph Woo M ry and changed into a dwelling house. lt was then sold to Captain ffred Haskell who had it moved to its present location on Sawyer Street. - W K Q emors Miss Eva Alley Class Advisor GRADUATION Franklin Heinemann Salutatorian Merle Jordan a Valedictoria 052 QQ, 42: 5 , E. 3 Q, 1 dl HONORS Marilyn Iune Adams General Course Art Club 4: lfootball Reluu Committee 4.

James Henry: Treasurer, Nancy Davis: Secretary Beverly Bryce: President. Robert MacVane Senior Reception Speakers Senior Executive Committee Anna Fenwick, Claire Nickerson, Norma Geneva. Hugh Costello Greta Gustafson, Franklin Heinemann Senior Class Day Speakers 1 I Senior Class Play A On the rainy night of March 19, 1948, the class of '48 presented the mystery-comedy-romance, Home Sweet Homi- cide. The feminine leads, April and Dinah Carstairs, Were very ably upheld by the double-vision Dolan Twins. The audience was perhaps more interested in figuring out which was Beatrice and which was Betsey than who was the mur- derer. Dick Mileson provided the comedy with his humorous portrayal of Archie Carstairs, the adventurous kid brother. Pat Preti of Dear Ruth fame played the author-mother, Marion Carstairs, and Dick Ingalls, also of Dear Ruth fzgne, was the handsome police lieutenant, Bill Smith. He was capably assisted by Sergeant O'Hare, played by Jim Henry. Dan Nickerson took the part of the chief suspect, Wally San- ford, husband of the murdered woman with Nancy Davis as the slick-chick movie actress, Polly Walker. Lloyd Wat- son was Nancy's boy friend, Cleve Callahan, alias Rupert Van Dusen, While the shifty reporter, Frankie Riley, was played by Fred Lydon substituting for Bob MacVane, who was in the hospital at the time. Mr. and Mrs. Carleton Cher- ington, III were Bobby Woodbury and Ken Allen. Mr. Cher- ington turned out to be the murderer. Dinah Carstairs's boy friend, Pete, was portrayed by Dick Tupper with Janie Lehman as the blonde siren, Dinah's rival. Archie's disrepu- table pals, Flashlight and Slukey, were Bob Ellis and Butch Malia. Members of the gang were Norma Geneva Qwho also acted as prompterj, Edith Drisko, Tete Dow, and Perley Hamilton. .fg grgzzzg-.-L-',-,a-. ..'. --.- - ' K ' -1-:-gisl 2'l?5?'1?i5'?' , .bfi . ?3Q5f'fL3?

John Curry Iunior Ring Committee Iunior Executive Committee William Sears, Janet Fleming, Peggy Lunt, Susanne Norton Leon Etter, Edward Woodsum Iunior Prom Speakers u 6' f 8' Iuniors After leaving our Sophomore days behind a scorching summer vacation, it d1dn't seem possible that we were at last the Junior class. We started off with a bang by electing the following class officers: Jack Curry, president: Lin Stoddard, vice presi- dent: Dotty Moran, secretary, Gwen Davis, treasurer. The Executife Committee consisted of Susanne Norton, Janet Plemixjg, Peggy Lunt, Lee Etter, Bill Sears, and Eddie Wood- sum. H In a couple of weeks we found ourselves in the midst of the gridiron season. We had many outstanding players, and Carmichael, Etter, Donovan, Sears, Smith, Virtue, Stoddard, Woods, and Woodsum won their letters. The team showed good judgement in electing valuable Bill Sears and Big Ed Woodsum their Co-captains for next season. liusanne Norton and John Henry made a hit as the con- geni parents in the school play, Dear Ruth. Carol Morris and hapman Stockford, newcomers to the stage, also did swef jobs in supporting roles. ,J Our highly successful basketball season was due greatly rq the efforts of our Junior lettermen, Woodsum, Doane, Howe, and Carmichael, Highlighting the girls' basketball squad were sharp- gxaooting Jackie Bowen, Jo Thompson, Cierry Kane, and Joan 1' owle. 1 Our class was fortunate in having many track partici- pants. Bill Sears won the Ellis Trophy for high- jumping for the second consecutive year. For several days after we staged our assembly, dirty necks were very much in evidence. QWhy didn't someone tell us that cold cream would take that grease paint oiT?D We owe a vote of thanks to the Ring Committee for selecting our really sharp rings. Hats off to Marilyn Skinner, Jo Thompson, Bev Ellis, Bob Howe, Dick Carmichael, and Bill Donovan. With spring came the baseball season, Junior Prom, and Spring Fever. Junior Prom speakers are: Irene Sokoloski, Gwen Davis, Dotty Moran, Lee Etter, Bob Howe, and Eddie Woodsum. For baseball information, see Sports Thus have we completed the third quarter of our high school career and we are looking forward hopefully, though somewhat nostalgically, to our final year in Caper Castle. ,..- X Zag, -4 -TE ,l lf' - .i f:- E 'e' 21- 111-1 22 V 1 s S' i j:2?if.,,- Y fifzq ' ig' -iff. gig '75 f ?6'f'f 'ff' -f ' img eli f.

Previous to this time the only means of public conveyance were the ferries. With the coming of the electric cars to South Portland there was great rejoicing. The Portland and Cape Elizabeth Railroad Company gave free rides for the day and you can be sure that the children of South Portland took full advantage of this opportunity-they rode back and forth all day. lt might be of interest to note that there was a collision of cars on that Hrst day. The motormen were inexperienced and as a result there was a collision on Broadway. It seems the cars had left off schedule and the motormen were not aware of this until they were bearing down on each other. No amount of frenzied winding of the brakes could stop them-there was a great crash and the passengers got their teeth jarred. However, this only added to the general feeling of merriment and soon the cars went on their way. In these days of buses with more effective brakes we look back on these street cars with a smile. However, we must remember, that to our grandparents the biggest thing that ever came to South Portland was the electric car. 'u 4 as op -zozzzmfes ol ! 'J Sophomore Class Officers Secretary, Betty Bridges: President. Maurice Marceau: Treasurer Walter Norton: Vice President, Norma DeWitt Sophomore Executive Committee Sophomore :Class History The class of 1950 came back to school in September, no longer the rookies of South Portland High School. When we finally settled down we elected our leaders as follows: president, Maurice Marceaug vice president, Norma DeWitt: secretary, Betty Bridges: treasurer, Walter6Norton. On the Executive Committee we placed Gary Tixckwith, Christine Briggs, Philip Foss. Betty Gene Tolman, , artha Whitmore, and Wilbur Wildes. The Sophomore Class members had the honor of being participants in the new radio program, The State o our Future, on WCSH. , In football Maurice Moe Marceau represented Bur class on the varsity team. Our boys were active on the success- ful Caper track team and also in baseball. The girls held up their end in the sports of basketball and softball. Ricky Hall, our dynamic little cheerleader, upheld the . . . . . 5, spirit of the class by leading our rallies and cheering sections. Supporting him were Jack Cribby on the Varsity and M91- lyn Hill and Roberta Henry on the J. V. squad. S When the call for Community Chest workers was heardtql Faith Knowlton. Jayne Anderson, Roberta Henry, George Knowles, Clarence McDougall and Merrill Gogan worked out a snappy window display. The Sophs were also prominent in the activity depart- ment. Many were members of the Art Club, the Bowling Team, the Swimming Team, the Rifle Club, the Relay Staff, and the Debating Squad. Our musical Sophs belonged to the Glee Club, the Com- posers' Club, the Orchestra, and the Band. Next came the Sophomore Assembly, the theme of which was the story of a supposedly haunted house that had been given to the youth of the community for a Recreation Center. The renovating crew was entertained during their labors by many talented performers. The Class of '50 presented a gala Sophomore Hop with a Shower Dance, a Spotlight Dance, and an A plus floor show as the added attractions. Of course Portia gave her annual plea, Caesar got his usual slaughtering, and the poor frog had his yearly disection.

This is Knightville, named after Thomas Knight, as it looked in 1900. ln the center is the old schoolhouse which was built in 1852. When this building had outgrown its usefulness as a school, many citizens of South Portland hoped that it could be renovated and made into a public library. However, in 1938, it was torn down and replaced by the filling station which we see there now. 1 V68 'VVLQVL Freshman Class Officers Secretary, Jacqueline Langillez Treasurer, Richard Marshall Vice President, Janet Gustafson: President, Keith Sturgeon 025 Freshman Executive Committee I 1 x Freshmen We, the passengers of the train through Highschool- land, have almost completed the first of our four years of journeys. Our conductors on our first lap were Keith Stur- geon, Janet Gustafson, Richard Marshall, and Jacqueline Langille. We entered the train with jumbled minds trying to find various classroomsg struggling through Latin is a language of endingsf' You must learn your Algebra rules, and Be sure to do your homework carefully. Our main thought for a while was studying, but before long we found we could stop a moment to sneak a glance at that boy with the blue eyes or at the blonde across the aisle. We even found time to go to Saturday's football game. Our Freshman Reception was a gala affair. The audi? torium looked like a field of green grass with those hats that the Seniors labored long hours on. Dick Marshall was Fresh- man Representative. He put us all in a joyful mood. We haven't yet stopped laughing at the skit the Seniors staged. At the dance we found everyone helping us to have the unfor- gettable time We did have. The Freshmen were well represented in all athletic activi- ties. Our basketball players are already beginning to look like the stars they will be in a few years. The track team found the Freshmen fellows hard workers. Dick Marshall was out- standing and won the McGlone trophy. The girls are not to be slighted. Judy Burrowes did an excellent job as captain of the girls' basketball team, and she had the players to make a successful Freshman team. The bowling team never lacked our support while Jacky Langille piled up high scores every week. The glee club, band, debat- ing, and assemblies were filled with Freshmen faces. At every basketball game we would see our junior cheerleaders, Anne Cook, Margery Rafferty, and Judy Davis leading us on to many victories. We piled into the auditorium one Friday night to come out full of praise for Freshman Patricia Gill who played Marion in the school play Dear Ruth. Pat has talent that will help us in our next three years. The Freshmen now have the hang of the High School. We run to the cafeteria like veterans, and speed through our homework with time to spare. We have come a long way since September. It has been one of the biggest changes in our lives from the eighth grade to high school. This first year is only a start of what we hope to do in the next three. With our trial run through Fresh- manland almost over, we are looking forward to the train that all too fast will whisk us through Sophomore1and.

The Portland Breakwater Light known to us of South Portland as 'Bug Light stood on the Cushing's Point Break- water for 88 years casting its friendly beams out over the waters of Port- land Harbor. It was first built in 1855 and then was rebuilt in 1875. The light was generated by a kerosene lamp until June 30, 1934, when electric power was installed. With the coming of the shipyards during World War II, this traditional light was discontinued on May 22. 1943. mfjtfeiftcs Football On September 12, we opened the season by playing Cheverus. We won by a 6 to 0 margin, but they outrushed us two to one. Our next game was with Cony. We beat them 20 to 6. The next game was with Westbrook. We rolled over them with a score of 27 to O. On October 4, we played Edward Little. We won 20 to 13. October 1 l saw South Portland break its ten-year jinx with Deering by winning, 19 to 7. MacVane broke his arm just before the half. On October 18, we played unbeaten Biddeford and it turned out to be the game of the year, for fight, thrills, and all around sportsmanship. The game ended in a 6 to 6 dead- lock with South Portland knocking at Biddeford's door. November l, South Portland journeyed to Bangor. South Portland was off key as the Rams ran for three touch- downs. Bangor won, 19 to 0. In a rain-drenched stadium, South Portland and Port- land came together for their annual Armistice Day classic. In the final period Portland started passing all over the Held. By connecting with two touchdown passes, they made the score 14 to 13. The next Saturday we played Thornton on their own home Held. In this game Jack Wiggins was a standout on de- fense as South Portland beat a stubborn Thornton Club. 1. . All Coaches A11 Captains Basketball M , This year's Caper team finished the season with a good record. We won l3 games and lost 7 in the regular season. We also made the semi-finals of the tournament by edging Westbrook, 45-44. We started out the season by dropping a close 31-29 de- cision to Morse. After that we went on to defeat Westbrook, Edward Little, St. John, and Waterville before losing to Port- land. Next we won over Sanford, Portsmouth, and Deering but lost to Waterville and Cheverus. After Cheverus we trimmed Westbrook for the second time, lost to Biddeford, and then beat Portland, Deering, Biddeford, and Morse. We ended the season by losing to Edward Little and being edged 30-29 by Cheverus in an overtime. After a short rest we entered the tournament, drawing Westbrook for our first game. We had beaten Westbrook twice before so everybody expected a push-over. Well, they got a surprise. The score was see-saw all the way through, South Portland taking the lead for a while, then losing it to Westbrook, When we lost Merle Jordan on fouls, things looked bad for us, but Jack Wiggins, who took Mer1e's place, did a splendid job. In the next game of the tournament we met a scrappy Cheverus club. They got off to a fast start, and although we out-played them the whole second half the lead was too great to overcome. We lost this game, 40-27. - Q Boys' Freshman Basketball L. . .ls Girls' Varsity Basketball The team started the season playing against South Port- land's own alumnae. The game was in the varsity's favor, 37-21. South Portland then played Cathedral, winning both games, The score of the first game was 31-26: the second. 28-22. The next opponent was Westbrook. We took them easily in both games. The scores were 21-17 and 31-21. During the Caperettes' season of wins they came up against their ole friend and foe, Deering. It was the Capers' lirst loss. The score was 27-21. The second meeting was a loss. too. That score was 36-29. A brilliant show of sportsman- ship and skill was given by the Capers. They fought long and hard. Their next tangle came with their neighbors, Cape Elizabeth. The Capers beat Cape Elizabeth, 31-24. The last game was with Falmouth. The Caperettes surged forth again and captured both games. The scores were 32-25 and 35-18. The Capers played 10 games winning 8 of them. The team consists of the following girls: Anna Fenwick and Ruth Burnham, co-captains: Beth Leighton, Irma Cousins, Jackie Bowen, and Beverly Bryce. They are all veterans of last year. Newcomers to the varsity squad are: Joyce Miner, Barb Con- cannon, Joan Towle, Jerry Kane, Jo Thompson, and Helen Tapley. Jackie Bowen was high scorer with 113 points. Irma Cousins was next with 62 points. Jackie was chosen captain of next year's varsity. Good Luck! The Caperettes' season was full of hard work and plenty of play. They were fighting to make this season the best ever. ,ix so ,Q Girls' J. V.

Shall we see that headline again this year? We can't be assured of another Telegram League Tro- phy to adorn our trophy case-the calendar says May ll- but the Riotmen have shown well in notching four victories in their Hrst five starts for a nice .800 percentage and a strong second-place berth in the Telegram loop. Currently in first place is Sanford with a 6-1 record. The opening game has been the worst for the Red Riots so far, as they booted several balls, and dropped a 14 to 8 decision to Sanford. They next bounced back to take Bidde- ford by a 15 to 7 count. The third game, easily the best played to date, found the Capers coming up with two in the last half of the ninth to beat Bob Tanner's Blue Bulldogs of Portland, 5 to 4. The next Caper victim was the Intown Purple, Cheverus High, taken by a 14 to 5 score. Then the Red Riots scalped the Biddies from Biddeford for the second time, l l to 2. Everything thus far points to a real battle for the sun- spot between South Portland and Sanford. Everyone's root- ing for the Capers and hopes to see another cup come June, and then-the State Series? . . . One minute at a time, one game at a time, and play every minute of every game. Well? 'R 6--- Track Coach Nason has done it again! With the able assistance of Charlie Kahill, Spud has turned out one of the finest angl most well-balanced track teams ever produced in this vicinityl The Capers trounced Portsmouth, Deering, and Port- land, respectively, to establish a clean slate against all their high school competition. Then the Capers reached down deep in their bag of surprises and pulled out a 7l-28 victory over the Bates Erosh. This prepped them for a meet with a much tougher aggregate of Frosh from Bowdoin. The Capers put up a tough iight, but lost by eight points Next Spud left for the Bowdoin lnterscholastics with a small group of his would-be champions. He brought back the Portland Evening Express Cup for the fastest relay team in the State of Maine. Then came the meet of all meets, the Four-Cornered Meet. The Capers looked forward to this with eager anticipa- tion and went into the meet as favorites. As expected, they emerged victorious with one of the highest team totals in the history of the meet-76 points. Some of the outstanding men during the indoor season, led by Captain Brad Michaels in the 1000-yard run, were Dick Marshall and Keith Sturgeon, a pair of fleet-footed Erosh dashmen, Tom Henderson in the shot with his longest heave of 47' l l , Bob Ellis, a consistent winner in the hurdles and high jump with his highest, a leap of 5' 8 , Ciary Beck- with, a sensational Sophomore miler, and Jack Curry in the low hurdles. ,i -... Fire Department. After the burning of the ship, the Cornelius H, some of the citizens of Ferry Village decided that the village needed a fire department. Since the Town had signed the contract for Sebago water in May, 1899, work was started immediately by laying pipe lines and hydrants. On September 21, 1892, the Volunteer Hose Co., No. 1, consisting of forty men was formally organized at the Union Opera I-louse. Hose and a few fittings were obtained through donations of the citizens. Fort Preble donated the first reel. 1-lose 1 first went into action in February, 1893, when its members extinguished a fire in a house on Pickett Street. We now know this first fire department as Engine 1, S. P. F. D., and it still occupies the old yellow hose house on School Street on the lot donated by the city in 1895. Now we may visit Engine 1 and sec gleaming modern facilities, and we can feel great pride in the achieve- ment of the people of Ferry Village, who started South Portland's first fire department. QQCZ1 mites ,,ii11 bi F .-1 3 Washington Trip ' The morning of April 23 saw fifty-eight excited Seniors with their chaperones, Miss Alley and Miss Davidson board the bus on the first leg of an eagerly anticipated trip-destina- tion,Washington. D. C.-first stop Philadelphia. In the City of Brotherly Love, a sleepless night was had by all, but everyone was up next morning in time to visit such historical places as Constitution Hall and the Betsey Ross house. An afternoon's travel brought us to the balmy climate of the capitol. Most everybody went to church Sunday morning and the few who made the trip to the beautiful Fran- ciscan Monastery were well repaid for their efforts. We di- vided our time that afternoon between Mt. Vernon and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. A television show was scheduled for Sunday evening plus a visit to the home of the Declaration of Independence- the immense Congressional Library. The Bureau of Printing and Engraving was the first stop on Monday. There were many eager eyes as we watched the green stuff with the numbers on it roll off the press. That afternoon we were lucky indeed, to be able to get in on both a sitting of the Supreme Court and a session of the House of Representatives. It was with much regret that we left Washington the following morning, however, hopes rose to new highs as we pulled into the big city-New York, that is-for a two-day sojourn. A grand tour of the city and an evening we had dreamed about climaxed our stay. School Play This year Dear Ruth was chosen for the school play. Ruth, Judge Wilkins' beautiful daughter, was portrayed by Pat Preti. She was supposedly engaged to Albert Kummers, Bob Howe, who was as meek as he was tall. The Judge's mischievous youngest daughter, Miriam, played by Pat Gill, brought gales of laughter to everyone with her sophisticated air. Wanting to help boost the morale of the fellows overseas, she sent many love letters and poems to different servicemen signing her sister's name, Ruth. Action started when hand- some Lieutenant Seawright, Dick lngalls, came home to see the girl who had written him what he had wanted to hear. The supporting cast included John Henry as Judge Harry Wilkins, the conservative l ? 7 father: Susanne Norton as Mrs. Edith Wilkins, the over-conscientious mother: Har- riet Johnson as Dora, the good-natured maid: Carol Morris as Martha Seawright, Bill's charming sister: Chapman Stock- ford as Sergeant Chuck Vincent, Bill's buddy and Martha's beau: and Bickford Webber as Harold Klobbermeyer, another misled serviceman. The backstage crew did an efficient job. On properties were Beverly Angell and Patricia Ney. Prompting was handled by Margaret Mary Langlois. The stage setting was ably constructed by Charles Bruns, James Gorman, Butch Malia, Dick Pooler, and William Stevens. As always, Miss Mary J. State successfully directed the production. Miss Helen Robinson was in charge of scenery and properties and Miss Eva Alley was finance manager. SA, Debating Team Cr Banking Chairmen Relay Staff Composers' Club Orchestra Art Club ' s gi., l Band Musi'c can fill hearts that are happy or sad: In times like these, it's a thing to be had - And there's no better place to get good music than at S. P. H. S., whether it be in the Band, the Grchestra, or the Glee Club. The Band is sometimes taken for granted by the student body, but it notices the difference in an assembly without the martial strains. Besides being on hand at all school functions, the Band has extras too, such as the Oratorical Contest, the Memorial Day Parade, Graduation, and the Maine and New England Festivals. But superlative on the list is the annual Band Concert-February 20-witnessed by a much larger and much more appreciative audience than ever before. When South Portland was host to the New England Concert Festival in April, over one-third of our members were selected for the All-New England Band. Other members served faith- fully Hbehind the scenes. A little heard of group is the Band Mothers' Club: yet they work the entire year earning money to finance our trips, and striving to be our best boosters! They deserve a sincere THANK YOU! But still all the glory hasn't been given out because Mr. Rowe hasn't been mentioned. Without his efforts and his talents, we would be fifty-two individuals,-but he makes us a band-and a good one. He deserves far more credit than is possible to give. Our thanks to you, Mr. Rowe, for being such a swell person along with the fine leadership you give. Glee Club The school year of 1947-1948 has found the Glee Club busier than ever before. Miss Perazzi, our very gifted director, studied under Fred Waring last summer. In the first concert of the year, December 13, the choristers used some Waring rhythm-antics including l'Comin' Through the Rye and 'Country Style. One special event of the year was the Rossini Club con- cert, December l8. The Boys' Glee Club and the Girls' Glee Club each made a favorable impression on those attending the concert as did the mixed chorus. After Christmas the Glee Club loafed Lit says herel for a while until just before Easter. Then the mixed club donned choir robes to perform in the Easter assembly. South Portland was fortunate enough this year to be chosen as the host city for the New England Concert Festival on April 7, 8, 9, and 10. Fifteen members of our own Glee Club members were selected to participate in it while nearly the whole school pitched in to help make the concert a huge success. As a preview to the concert the Glee Club was featured in a half-hour program, March 31, over WGAN. Next in line comes the Maine Music Festival which is to be held in Brunswick, May 8. The New England Festival will take place in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, May 21 and 22.
