74c. Sm for- 1949 Printecf'in the United States of Amerim Fara! CM PRINTING Conway, Purtiand. Maine PORTLAND JUNIOR COLLEGE PM 39 74a Mrs. Elizabeth Eastman Ema Rally speakers, after-dinner speakers, commencement speakers of today consistently expound the need for a rededication by Americans to the prin- ciples of Early America, and the pioneering people of our then growing country. We, then, the editors of this yearls Stag, wish to dedicate our year- book, not to the principles themselves, however, but to a modern, living embodiment of those principles. The new words of modern or'ators must bring a smile of satisfaction to the lips of Mrs. Elizabeth Eastman, secretary to our Dean, for Mrs. East- man has been living the words and concepts of these speech-makers t0 the letter, all her life. Adequacely occupied with her secretarial duties, Mrs. Eastman has never once passed 05 extra Work that might make the sledding a little easier for others. She has catered to the whims and fancies of all with her warm smile of understanding. Regardless of any wiser, personal judgment derived from her vast store of wisdom, she did these extras with a thoroughness and dependability that is refreshing in these days rife with irresponsibility. As long as there are still people like Mrs. Eastman treacling the beaten paths of this tired old earth . . . breathing a sweeter breath into its soured and tired life . . . the editors of this yearbook happily forego the usual dedi- cation to some fancy ideal in appreciation of the moral lesson learned and the preview into the naturally evolving America of Tomorrow. unuolu..unn'-I1uuuuu'. ..

BONNEY Message from the Dean As we have climbed together, we have grown in qualities of mind and in the graces of the human spirit. Over and beyond increase of knowledge in the subject matter of courses we have grown in the knowledge of ourselves and of each other, in self-conhdence or hu- mility as the need might be, in the sense of personal responsibility, in the spirit of cooperation and service for the common good. hSome have known moments of new insight and felt the kindling spark of new purpose. All have experienced the steady impact of the many unremembered things that have influenced thought, feel- ing, and action. As each has grown, so has grown the spirit of the group-toward that common understanding, that cooperative purpose, that rare fel- lowship which always has been and I hope always will be the special genius of Portland Junior College?

But at Port- land Junior College the Senior Class marked the year for the College History. Only a few days before the national presidential election, P.J.C. held One of its own. No national political contest was ever more rabidly contested. Without cause the Senior Class split into two factions; older vet- erans and younger veterans Her purposes of designationl and the fight was carried on with all the political judo at hand . . . no holds barred. The younger faction with more energy to expend formed itself into the uCommittee For Better Student Representation and im- mediately launched literary missles bordering on the defamatory and libelous. Down to the wire the Committee fought: holding secret meetings to map new and better strategies, forming more feasible slates; and for the unsure, forming pacts with the other side. Diplo- macy, duplicity; machine politics, theoretical politics; coalitions within factions, coalitions between factions; secret pacts, agreements, treaties, deals; mimeogtaph machines, oratory, the U. S. mails all saw service in this yeafs election of Senior Class officers at Portland Junior College. Paralleling the work of the Student Council, the Senior Class of Portland Junior College piled up its own share of permanent firsts. First of all came the belief that Portland Junior College will some day receive its proper recognition. Then to back up that conhdence came two other firsts? The first first was the appointment of a badly needed committee to probe into the details of the class rings for which all students raised such a clamor. Chaired by Philip Kates, the committee composed of Mark Andrews, Ronald Smith, Richard Noyes, and Henry Latini not only selected a design and rings of a quality corresponding to the uniqueness of the College and Student Body, but arranged for pins as well. The next first in the annals of the College history was the pro- curement of a class gift by a committee of such seniors as Jerry Howard, Committee Chairman, and his able assistants, Ray Leeman, Scott Hoar, Ralph Roberts, Jed Bridges, and Larry Campbell. The gift chosen by the class . . . a stuffed Stags head for the Auditorium . . is a. credit to the members of the Class of ,49.

The men pictured above are the few who have survived three years of Portland Junior College teaching. Enrolling September, 1946, at Mountain- view, a former housing project, these men began the second phase: of their education in courses ranging from the accelerated refresher courses to the Straight college Business Administration and Liberal Arts programs. All former participants in the Real Warn -- these valiant personalities, realizing the importance of formal education, immediately, upon their dis- charge, laid aside their implements of war and took up the tools of learning: books, pens, slide-rules.

Freshman Class OfIicers Robert Anderson President Martin O'Connor Vice President William Cousins S err starry The Class of Nineteen Fifty The Freshman Class this year showed an even greater transition back to the normal. Unlike recent freshman classes at P.J.C., be- fuddlement, confusion, bewilderment were the main characteristics. Nowhere could the swagger, and the confidence of the previous classes he found. But as the year progressed, the freshmen grew in stature. Fresh- man voices became stentorian at Council meetings. Freshman repre- sentation on the various activity committees increased. Sports saw freshmen coming to the fore time after time until the line of separa- tion between senior and freshman participation grew to an indis- cernible thinness. Freshman Class leaders, its officers, Robert Anderson, Al Swett, Marty CVConnor, William Cousins, and William Edes held their own with the other wheel? at the college. Freshman Anderson, Presi- dent of the class, was elected Vice President of the Student Council. When he found it necessary to resign because of his ministerial duties, Freshman AI Swett was then elected by the Council to serve as its Vice President. Freshman Bill Edes was elected Recording Secretary and served capably as a help-mate to the omnipotent Cedric Williams, Council Secretary. Swett regularly chaired the various and sundry dance committees, and was unanimously elected by the precision- mad Committee for Graduation to head the ushers for the Com- mencement Exercises. Admittedly unsteady and confused at the beginning this year,5 Frosh are satisfled with their powers of adjustment and resultant development. Seniors can leave their beloved Alma Mater with us, without fear. With the help of God, and Dean Bonney, the Fresh will take up the work where the Class of ,49 left off: Conscientiously striving for collegiate growth; strong physically, straight morally, and hitherto unprecedented.

PRE - COELLGE The Pre-College Group This year, as in the past two years, the Pre-College class carried on their studies and activities in the shadow of the more formal Fresh- man and Senior classes above them. But this year, as not so much in the past two years, the influence of this class was felt more strongly. Our representatives to the Student Council headed important com- mittees; the sportsmen from our class did much to increase the over- all sports prowess of the Junior College. Our classes, which meet for two hour periods, five days a week, limited participation to a large degree. The overall feeling was preva- lent, however, that the pre-college group was beginning to come into its own as a part of the Junior College student body. TOP ROW, Left to Rigbz-Ruber: H.

The Stag 1949 For the second year in the history of the Junior College, the stu- dents have organized a yearbook. The name THE STAG,, remains the same. The editorial staff was appointed by the Student Council early in the second semester, and primary plans for the yearbook were soon under consideration. Richard Noyes and Scott Hoar were named Editors; Dick handling the business and technical end, while Scott worked as a general adviser, helper and chief photographer. Thus, the headaches were spread to two heads, rather than one, as was the case last year. Ably handling the Advertising Managefs job was Thomas Roche, who, assisted by a number of doortto-door enthusiasts, was soon rounding out the monetary budget. James Nicholas was placed as Circulation Manager with the hustling aid of Ralph Roberts and Al Di Poalo. Raymond Leeman tapped the Club Editor job with the aid of the club secretaries. Others contributing time and effort to the undertaking were: Rich- ard Palmer, sports editor; Henry Latini, feature editor; and Robert Anderson, campaign manager. If the STAG does its job of providing memories, and cement- ing friendships over the years, the StaE will feel well rewarded for their efforts. The Editorial 73mm! Richard Noyes Richard Hasson C.

The S tudent Council Elected early in October, the fourteen men composing the Student Council here at Portland Junior College quickly shed their coats, rolled up their sleeves and began a program for getting things done. Six committees were rapidly appointed by the president of the council to parallel similar committees held by the faculty, and to better coordinate campus activities. In rapid succession followed: a call for club constitutions; a granting of charters to the various social organizations; granting of appropriations ranging in lumps up to 1,000 dollars; securing those necessities that facilitate classroom life; anti outfitting and transporting our basketball team, to mention but a few. But students want other things to make their hours at college more agreeable, and our students are no exceptions. They wanted dances. The council not only organized the activities of the campus social organizations to accede to the students, wishes, hut con- tributed a pair of their own dances. The students wanted a telephone . . . for their ex- clusive use . . . and a telephone was quickly installed in the cafeteria to be maintained by the council. The stucients wanted class rings and class pins. The council selected an excellent design, one that received almost unanimous approval of the seniors. But in the htsr semester, the crowning project of the council was the work of eliminating the con- fusion that prevails at class time when there is no reliable system of announcing the hour. The council corrected this failing with a fund drive, and the fmal procurement of an automatic bail system devoid of human inaccuracies. With the second semester came a slack in council business. One half of its members, aww-M - J: t. I seniors, were obliged to help plan and prepare Commencement Exercises, senior outing, I ccmmencement ball, and ali the other graduation activities. However, the council still found time to jointly sponsor a dance with Westbrook Junior College, the Erst they hope, of a lasting tradition.

Portland Junior College News Truly an organ of the student body designed to unequivocally inform, the Portland Junior College News has completed another successful year of operation. Early in the first semester, after stiff competition, Scott Hoar was appointed to the editorship by the Student Council, along with the rest of the editorial staff. The staff then immediately surrounded themselves with talented reporters, feature writers, and photog- raphers. Other oHicers 0f the hNewsh included Ralph Roberts, Associate Editor; Ronald Kellam and George Linscott, Assistant Editors; Rich- ard Noyes, Business Manager; Gordon Adams, Advertising Mana- ger; Ronald Smith, Circulation Manager; Irving Marcus, Exchange Editor; and Ronald Lander, Sports Editor. The NeWS has a triple purpose for operating. It is printed to in- form the student, and the alumni, and also to act as a permanent chronological record. In the latter capacity, it is kept in bound vol- umes on the shelves of the College Library. Mr. Richard Woodbury acts as faculty adviser to the News Staff, and has the job of irOning out problems beyond the control of the student members. The paper is financed partly by advertising and partly through the student activity fee, and if further aid is necessary, it is furnished by the college. It has a surprisingly large circulation of 1 ,500 copies, and is distributed free every two or three weeks, depending on the circumstances of school attendance. With a news oHice, regular assignments, and special reporting jobs, the iiNews,, is run as closely comparable to a. regular newspaper as is possible. There is an annual banquet which is attended by all members of the staff. As is the practice of the News, aspirants for next yearis top edi- torial posts have been serving as freshman editors during the sec- ond semester, and with the valuable experience and supervision they are getting, should be able to carry on with the paper admirably next year.

I ntematz'ondl Relations Club The International Relations Club, with the aim of promoting con- temporary thinking and understanding about local, national, and international affairs, began its second year of operation on the cam- pus in October of this year. Elections were held with Allen Ryan elected President and James Hackett, Secretary-Treasurer. Harry J Bridges and James Nanos were named council members. The club is aHiIiated with the Carnegie Foundation for the En- dowment of International Peace, which in turn is affiliated with the United Nations organization. December of 1948 saw the club attending the New England Con- ference of Internationai Relations Clubs located at the University of Vermont in Burlington. Among the delegates who took part in sev- eral of the debates were: James Nanos, David Huff, Allan Ryan, Sherman Baker, and Frank Rodway. The debates were concerned with Communism and Capitalism, and Strengthening Interna- tional Relations With Ruesia.H Then, in the latter part of December, a second conference was held under the auspices of the Bowdoin Political Science Forum. This was a meeting of the State of Maine International Relations Clubs, and the debate was on the nFuture of Germany? This yeafs club members feel that they have very adequately dis- charged their responsibility of representing the coilege and of keep- ing informed of important developments.

The Outing Club The Outing Club was formed again this Year under the supervision of Mr. Alfred Clarke of the faculty, and officers were elected at the Htst meet- ing. They were: Eli Kroot, President; Philip Michaud, Vice President; E. George McGlauHin, Secretary; and Donald Hoyt, Treasurer. The club initiated a new activity when it introduced the Annual Old Tim- er,s Day and barn dance to the school, and the affair went off very success- fully this year. Although handicapped by a shortage of snow during the Winter months, the club carried on activities and did manage to go on one major skiing trip. The trip was made to the White Mountains, where the club enjoyed a full weekend of good skiing. Highlight of this excursion was the International Ski Jumping Meet at Berlin, New Hampshire. Winter Carnival plans were also formulated, but had to be abandoned because of the lack of snow. Spring outings and week-end excursions were also made, with the em- phasis on hiking and fishing. The group has found a site for a permanent ski lodge, and a center for outdoor activities. Plans have been made for purchase of the land, and with this in mind the Outing Club anxiously awaits next year, and hopes to include the entire student body in more of its activities.

T196 Radio Club Organized during the third week of school, this yeafs Radio Club gave students interested in radio work ample opportunity to learn many of the fundamentals of radio broadcasting. Three programs were presented each week: uThe Great Books Forum? held Sunday evenings over WPOR; ePortland Junior C01- Iege On The Air? presented Tuesday evenings over WPOR; and News and Views of P.J.C., aired over WMTW on Wednesday evenings. Mr. John Jaques acted as Faculty Adviser, and club officers were elected as follows: Samuel Kraeer, President; Robert Silverman, Vice President; Robert Gifford, Secretary; and James Mollasky, Treasurer. Mike Night? something new at the Junior College, was intro- duced this year by the Radio Club. It was held Mar. 15, 1949 in the college auditorium, and consisted of a dance, a radio program broadcast from the school over WPOIU , and some slapstick vaude- ville by Dick Goodie and Norman Mogul. Two members of the club, Robert Gifford and Robert Silverman, producers of many P.J.C. shows, also branched out on their own as independent radio producers, which is evidence of the worth of the club to students and 0f the good job being done.

T196 Dramatic Club This year, for the first time since establishment on the present campus, a dramatic club was organized at the junior College. OH-icers were elected with Richard Hasson becoming President, ArnoId Kuvent, Vice President; Richard Noyes, Secretary; and Ronald Smith, Treasurer. . Then the club rolled up its sleeves and went to work. The first production of the year was a half hour radio play, RSpeak hO The Devil, produced by Walter Thumbs. The cast included such pruven performers as Ronald Lander, Ronald Smith, Dick Hasson and Dick Noyes. The club also scored another radio success, uChristmas Comes To An Isfand, an original play by Dick Goodie. The club took another step forward when it became a member of the Delta Psi Omega, a National Dramatic Honor Society. The first stage production, uGeorge Washington Slept Here, was put on at Portland High School due to lack of facilities here on our campus. The female members of the Cast, and they did an excellent job, were supphed by the Westbrook Junior College Dra- matic Club. Aside from their actual dramatic accomplishments, the members of the club have had a wonderful time working together this year, and they extend an open hand and a hearty carry 011,, to tht men who Will make LIP next year,s club.

Harvard Reading Film One of the most important contributions to the Junior College this year, was the introduction of the Harvard Reading Film. At the instigation of Cedric Williams, and with the help of Arthur Sprague, thirty-Eve Seniors became interested in the reading film method of increasing reading comprehension and speed. Each senior contributed five dollars towards the cost of the film hthis film was later presented to the College for continued use. Class meetings were held twice weekly in an unused classroom for periods of an hour and a half each. In addition to the him, various reading tests were used to gauge the progress of each individual and the group as a whole. The first experimental group of seniors to take the course made an average increase in their speed and comprehension of over 8065. No creditvpoints were given for the First group, because of its experimental nature, but the second semester and future groups will receive one credit for completion of the course. Hereis how it works. A page of reading material is projected on the screen. A moving beam of light reveals the writing, one line at a time, beginning at a speed of 150 words per minute, and increasing in speed a little each lesson until the student is reading at up to twice the initial speed. Following a first showing of the film, a set of written questions is presented to test the comprehension of what has been read. The film is then run through again and another chance is given to an5wet the questions. This procedure is repeated with a written selection, which is timed, with the questions testing compre- hension after each reading.

T196 Long Hair Club A new organization, appearing for the first time on the campus this year, was the Music Appreciation Group, better known as the Long Hair Club. The club was started early in the year by Mr. GoE and Mr. E. B. Clark, anti is composed of students and instructors who appreciate serious opera-symphony type. music. Throughout the hrs: semester it met weekly, taking up works of the members, choice, the records being furnished by the members themselves from personal collections. At the start of the second semester, Donald Hoyt was appointed Manager of the Club. This was the first step toward formal organization, and since then, programs have been selected by Chris Packard and Donald Hoyt. The records have been furnished by Cressey 86 Allen since February, as a good will gesture, giving the Club an excellent choice of music. The group meets in Mr. Hestefs typing room, and drives out all would-be typists for an hour. Most students think of this group as sobet-sides, however, it is actually a very congenial group, welcoming all lovers of good music, and varying in attendance from Five to twenty at each meeting. Troubles occasionally beset the club, as when Mr. Jacques runs of with the Vic for his Public Speaking class when the club needs it, or when needles suddenly disappear, or there is no power. The club has demonstrated its ability to surmount such obstacles as these, and regards this as testimony of its ability to continue and become a part of Portiand Junior College in the future.

Tlae Glee Club Formed early in the year under the supervision of Mr. Robert GoE, the Glee Club began practicing enthusiastically soon after, and were not long in becoming a harmonious, well rounded group. Officers were elected shortly thereafter with James Nicholas landing the PresidenEs job, Harold Deinstad, Jr., becoming Vice President, and Freddy Jackson occupying the Secretary-Treasurefs chair. Although small in number, the group contained a fine mixture of voices. James Nicholas and Ralph Roberts did the tenor chores, Sherman Baker was the club's baritone, and Harold Deinstad and Brad Bouncy sang bass. Freddy Jackson furnished the musical background with his piano, and also sang emergency tenor. Specializing in such numbers as When Day Is Done, WThe Whiffen- poof Song? etc, the group entertained the student body at two assemblies, and met with notable success. Let us hope that the Glee Club will continue to function next Year, and will do as splendid a job as this yeath group. Seated, left to righreRonald Smith, Giles Beauiac, Peter Barris, Ronald Lancler.

Les Confreres Gauloz's This has been the third successful year for llLes Cnnfreres Gauloisf, the Junior College French Club. Organized in 1946, the club has always prided itself in its materialistic accomplishments, and also in its increasingly better understanding of France and the French people. OH'icers elected for the year included Peter Barris, President; Giles Beaulac, Vice- President; Ronald Smith, Secretary; and Ronald Lander, Treasurer. The club was hardly functioning before tall: of correspondence with French students hlled the air. As a result, about Hfteen students are now writing to French students who are studying English at Cherhourg. As the previous yeafs presentation was such a great success, the French Club again decided to sing French carols at Christmas time. There was an important addition to the group, however, when it was announced that Westbrook Junior College would sing in conjunction with the club. The program, directed by Mr. Robert Goff, was enjoyed by all participants. Finally, as its gift to the people of France, the French Club turned over the profits from the annual Spring dance to CARE, which in turn will send ten dollar food pack- ages to needy families in that country. The French Club has come a long way toward the realization of its goal of understand- ing French culture this year, and leaves next yearjs club a Fine record to measure up to.

Rifle Club The first meeting of the Rifle Club was held on the Y.M.C.A.is basement rifle range. In October of 1948, with a very large group in attendance. At this meeting fundamentals of riHry were taught the team by Mr. Lowell of the Maine RiHe Instructors Association. Club officers elected for the year were: Eli Kroot, President; Arthur McArthur, Secretary; Roger Mead, Treas- urer; and Lawrence Campbell, Range Officer. There was a serious lack of equipment and funds at the beginning, but the group stuck by their guns and many became quite proficient as the semester progressed. At the start of the second semester the practice night was changed from Monday to Wednesday, and more men began to attend the meetings. The club was granted a small allotment from the student activity fund, and im- mediately joined the National Rifle Association, adopting their constitution. The first competition was held in March of 1949 against the Sanford Y.M.C.A. team. The ciub lost by 14 points, but made a fine showing and other matches were quickly scheduled. Only two members of this yeafs team will he lost at graduation. The ma- jority being freshmen. As a result the team will be well supplied with experi- enced men next year, and looks forward to a successful season. BASKETBALL ! Fran!

Bob '51:, Coach Ray 5. Bicknell. Basketball In the words of Coach Ray Bicknell as the season began, RXWell, we don, t have to worry about an undefeated season this year. That was the beginning of the ,48349 basketball season for the Junior College Stags. The reason for this statement was that the Stags lost their first game of the season to the Bates Bobcats by a 1 point margin, 59 to 60. But this was only the hrst game of the season, and then the P.J.C. Stags came into their own, winning 6 in a row. And when the season had ended they had garnered 12 imposing victories to only 7 loses. The season was marked by long passing and amazingly fast breaks that at times left the opposition in a quandty. This style of basket- ball was paced by the quick movements and sure shooting of Billy Edes who won the top honors in the scoring race with 153 points. But three other starters for the Stags ran close behind; they were Bill Folsom, 15 1; Pete Harnois, 149; and Bobby Slipp, 146. But let us not overlook the smooth, sure playing of Captain John Meader. Meader played for the Stags last year, and this year, let it be said, he played his usual inspired, aII-over-the-court ball e re- bounds, passes, needed hoops. As we look back to the standout game, the Northeastern Business Collegee with its usual staunch rivalry --was definitely it. This was the game that the Stags came out on top in the last few seconds with a 48 to 4-7 victory. It was sheer bliss to a hard-fought, hard-won game. While starting the season with a loss, the Portland Junior Stags went on a six game win streak, but were stopped in their second game with the Northeastern Business College five, 52 to 47; then losing to Springfield College J.st, 52 to 50. A win marked the next game with Nichols Junior College, 64 to 62. But then, they lost the next four out of five beating the Bowdoin J.st, 53 to 52 and finished the season in a grand display of four straight wins.

Baseball Starting the season with but five hold-ovets from last yeare William Edes, catcher; Charles Amman, first base; Louis Waugh, converted last year from outfield to the mound; Andrew Lane, third base and pitcher; and Pierre Harnois, outfielder and pitcher - the Portland Junior College baseball team went on to win five out of its eight game schedule. The Bicknellmen started out the season with a thrilling game against Nichols Junior College winning 9 to 8. Then the toughest game of the season, the first Maine Annex game, which went eleven innings only to be lost 11 to 10. Next the Connecticut Fresh took the long trek to Maine only to be sent back with an 18 to 2 loss. Then the club travelled to New England College of New Hampshire to garnet their third win 7 to 6. William Bdes will remember the next game, which was again with New England College. Edes, the two year backstop, was injured in the second inning and was out for the season, but the Stags went on to win with Edward Schultz hack- stopping, 12 to 10. The Maine Annex and Nichols next came to the P.J.C. green to set the Stags back in two losses, 21 to 2 and 7 to 4, respectively. Then the club grabbed the final game with Northeastern Business College, 15 to 7. Beside the five two year men, there were Robert Ward, swap-off between second and third; Robert Orr, shortstop; Bernard Larson, left-field; Charles Crowell, center-field; Charles Churchill, pitcher- centerfleld. And Edward Schultz, catcher; William Amergian, pitcher-second baseman; DonaId Cockburn, shortstop; Philip McCarthy, pitcher; and Ralph Roberts, right-fielder. SCHEDULE FOR BASEBALL Opponent: P. J. C.

Tennis Under the firm direction of Coach Ray Bicknell the P.J.C. Tennis team racqueted their way through four matches to date, but have garnered but one victory against three losses. The team started the season with a good embryo of stats from last yeafs squad. Henry Hanku Gilbert, Murray Reuben and Charlie Laponis. These men have shown throughout; such as the stellar performances of Reuben and Gilbert who are at present undefeated in doubles competition. While Hank Gilbert alone stood out at the Annex with the single point, taking the singles honor for that day. As for the new men added this year Bill Folsom must be said to be the stand-out. For Folsom this was his first time at swinging a racquet, and his hll-in work was admirable. Also there was Bill Blake's consistent placements that gave the team creditable points. Last but not least were the two hard- working freshmen to the game, Jim Dawson and Phil Sedgley, both of whom played good tennis. The team to date has lost to Maine Annex twice, and Deering once. Games with Portland and Lewiston have yet to be played. V Left to Right-Benmtt Porteous, Richard Gondie, Frank Nanos, Ernest Buckley, Festus Joyce.

Cheerleaders Prior to the arrival on the floor, last Fall, of our Green and White clad Basketeers, a knicker and cap clad group calling themselves cheerleaders,, were wont to roam and chant their ways across the line of vision of the spectators. This group was the first formal attempt to organize a cheering section to support the excellent teams that the Junior College con- sistently puts on the H001: I Clad in old fashion caps, coats and checkered knickers, and never successfully completing any of their involved yells, they were able to -I raise the audience to a record pitch of enthusiasm. They were active throughout the late Fall and Winter. I APPRECIATIONS The task of publishing this yearis STAG has at times seemed an insurmountable one. The staff was beset with obstacles from the very beginning, and had it not been for the kind interest shown by persons both inside as well as outside the Campus, the task would well have been even more diH'icuIt. So, at this time, the associate editors would like to write their thanks to those people who worked so hard to lighten our work: To Dean Luther Bonney for his moral support and the faith which he voiced in us; to Mr. Lawrence for his great hnanciai assistance; to Mr. Woodbury for his valuable technical advice; to Mr. Harmon of Forest City Printing Company for his everlasting patience, the use of his time, and the many enjoyable hours spent in his den; to Mr. Sullivan for his photographic advice and pictures; to Mr. North- graves for his art advice; to Mr. Marshall of Portland Engraving for his aid and advice; to Robert White for an excellent art job on our cover; and to Henry Latini, Ray Leeman, Thomas Roche, Charles Jortberg, James Dawson, Jerry Connolly, Ken MacFarland, James Nicholas, Ralph Roberts, Al Di Poalo, Jed Bridges, and George McGlauHin for their fine spirit and cooperation; and to Cedric Wil. Iiams for his Firm grasp on our purse-strings, his loud and insistent objections. And to all the others who lifted a finger in our behalf, or said a kind word for us, many, many thanks. As this, the tiSTiAin3 goes the last mile to bed, we the editors, feel a great responsibility lift from our shoulders. This feeling is second only to the hope that we have pleased you, our reader, and with this we leave you for a greater, more extensive Portland Junior College of the future.
