A FOREWORD We the Stag Staff of 1956 proudly put before you this epilogue of the events and undertakings of Portland Junior College students during the current school year. This year's edition is the ninth in a consecutive series, the First Stag having appeared in 1943. This year the Class of I956, through the Stag Staff and myself will try to give you the best yearbook ever. You will observe that we have continued the use of Bruce Luughlinls animated stag cartoons which were introduced into the '55 edition; they lend a bit of humor, and have been quite favorably accepted by the students. The purpose of this yearbook is to bring back to you students, in later years, many fervent memories which can never be replaced and should not be for- gotten. The editor and assistant editors sincerely believe that memories are an important factor in your life. We trust that Portland Junior College has left yeu many pleasant memories, and that this book will help to preserve them. We have purposely delayed the delivery date of the Stag to July 'lst, in order to include pictures of the Commencement. This solemn and olI-importunt occasion is one of the cherished memories we are most anxious to preserve photographicolly. And new, as editor, I should like to claim an editor's prerogative and infect a personal note into this foreword. I consider it both a privilege and an honor to be a part of this Clues of 1956 and to have been accepted by you, as a fellow student. For many years while I was in military service, the furtherance of my education seemed like a dream unlikely to come true. Then, one clay, at the age of 36, l suddenly found that my dream was muterlullzing, with the help of a very good friend who persuaded me to go talk to Dean B'onney. Now, at the age of 38, l have completed two years of college and am very thankful to these who made it possible: the faculty of Portland Junior College, my loving wifer and my good friend, Mr. McCurdy. Your Editor, NATHANIEL F. KELLEY DEDICATION CHARLOTTE MCCORMICK Each year. the Stag is dedicatect to someone who has distinguished himself in the eyes of the students. This person is well known, well liked and respected. He'has devoted himself to helping you as a student. This year the Ciass of '56 is pleased to dedicate the i956 Stag to Charlatte McCormick. She has given ten years of loyal service to Portland Junior Ccilege :15 Secretary to the Bursar. Before ioining the st'cH', she worked with the Ration Boards during the Second World War. Previous to the war, she Worked over few years at the Maine State Employment Service where her husband is still employedt Besides the regular duties of a secretary, Mrs. McCormick has taken on many additional ones for the benefit of the students, the hartclling of the veterans' checks to mention but one. She is a dispenser of Useful infarmqtion, a morale builder and she possesses the great asset of being able to call every student by his first name. And not the least of her assets is her cheery smile. This is our small way of saying Thanks for a wonderful job cmd of wish- ing her many more years of happiness and service to the students of Portland Junior College. Class of '56 IN MEMORIAM George E. Beat It is Fitting that this issue of the Stag Feature a special tribute to George Beat. Every one in this area and most people of the State of Maine know of his great contribution to education through his leadership in the outstanding devel- opment of the South Portland schoots. Not so many are aware of the indispensable contribution he has made to the founding and development of Portland Junior College. As principal of South Portland High School he ioined with other local educators in the laborious and often discouraging task of setting up an organiza- tion competent to give standard college courses in Portiand. Through the twenty-three years since that time his interest in the cause has never flagged. Rarely has he been absent From a meeting of the Board 0? Directors and in every meeting he has been an active participant. His practical knowledge, his sound iudgment, his vital integrity have been brought to bear on every problem that has arisen in the history of the college and have had a profound inftuence in all decisions made. Through his many and outstanding services to Portland Junior College these many years, George Baal has earned the right to be gratefully remembered not only by the several generations of students already served by the cotlege but also by the countless generations of students yet to be. g BOARD OF DIRECTORS Raymond S.

J. C. Golf Team defeated Gor- ham State Teachers College in their first match. A damp course did not dampen the enthusiasm of Al Clarke's team consisting of Tom Redmond, Dave De Repent- igny, Bob Mullen. Bruce Nero, Swede Hallgren, and Chuck Mercer. Coach Clarke called this the best team in years after this sextet defeated Gorham State 10 to 8 on Friday. May 13th. Due to the poor weather. matches with other schools and colleges were difficult to get, but another match is scheduied at Riverside Muni- cipal Golf Course with Gotham State on the 23rd of May. Brilliant playing coupled with brilliant coaching provided the formula for victory. Baseball Team After on absence of several years, baseball returned to Portland Junior Col- lege. Eighteen candidates responded to the first call. They were: Jack Wood. Bob Darling, Al Jahnscm, Dick Miller, Bob Fay, Leo Prescott, Leo Chubot, Swede Hull- gren, Dan Conley, Switty Pesce, Dick White, Brian Fetter, Richard Ryder, Wayne McDu'Ffie, Dave Fluherty, Norm Farley, Tim Truyers, Phil Butchelder and Dave Wil- liams, manager. At the time of this printing, the Stags had won their first game, 22 e 5 against M. V. T. 1. Leo Prescott went all the way in winning his first game. Dick Ryder helped centribute to the cause by banging out two triples and three singles. We of the Stag are sure the baseball team of 56 will leave a lasting impression on the school.

Th1: Slag staff regrets that Paul Caron, President at lhe Councit, was not present when photo was taken. After c: hotly contested eampaign, the newly elected Student Council assumed its muior role in campus activities under the leadership at Senior Class President Paul Caron. On November fifteenth, with President Caron presiding, the councit elected the Following ofticers: Vice-President, Ken Taylor,- Recording Secretary, Gleynn Brooks; Treasurer, Jim Rondeau; and Corresponding Secretary. Jim Ccsetden. At the same time, Dove DeRepentigny, Jim Rondeou and Don Conley were appointed by the president to serve on a Pubiic Relations Committee and Jim Caselden, Dave DeRepentigny and Gleynn Brooks were appointed to serve or: the Budget Com- mittee. Besides carrying on the truditionui activities of Mountain 003:, the Spring Out- ing and Cleon-up Day, the Council has sponsored several special activities this year including a student banquet and a walking blood bank. The blood bank was born out of a suggestion by President Caron and it was instituted with hopes that the program would be continued in Future years. Perhaps the most important project and certainly a lasting momento to this years council is the newlyr installed public address system in the ctssemblgir hall. A great deal of time and effort were spent by the council, along with the financial help of most of the school clubs, in bringing this long needed equipment to the col- lege. Working with the students and faculty, the council has strived to continue that unique retationship between student body and administration that has always existed at Portland Junior College. 54 The l956 Stag f;- 'y Flm- Raw 0. to rm Dante Zanoni.

In September, 1955, the Portland Junior College monthiy publication, The NEWS, suHered from c: comptete changeover in staFf members and a shortage of writers and editors. In December, editor Fuiton acquired two very able assis- tants who later became managing editors. They were Robert Fay of Wotefboro and Norman LuCharite of Brunswick. Fay, a freelancer for the Sanford Tribune, aided the stuff greotiy with sound editorship, solid editorials and efficient report- ing and newawriting. Fay is also responsible for having set up the April issue of the NEWS. The acquisition of Norman LuCharite greatly improvect conditions with the NEWS and gave the paper the second half of its duo of managing editors. LuChurite 0150 took over the job of sports editor and singIe-hondedly covered every phase of athletics at Portland Junior College. Possessed with a bent toward poetry, many of his verses have appeared in copies of the NEWS. His fine editor- ship has been valuable to the paper. Editor in Chief , Leonard V. Fulton, has tried every kind of writing from pue- try and essay on down to military supply procedures. His knowledge of Eng- lish has greatly aided in editing the NEWS. A laborious iactsitiorir that of circulation manage:- wus filled by Gordon Giliis in January. Several thousand copies of the NEWS had backed up through circu- lation diFficulties but Gordon soon ironed matters out and brought the efficiency required to that department. He is also responsible for much newswriting. Others who were instrumental in shaping many issues of the NEWS are Put- rick OtToole, aiumni editor, Richard Marsh, Hollis Allen and Leo Chobot, photog- raphers, political writer Peter Doukas, and archery enthusiast, Carl Butler. As the freshman trio of editors molded into cm efficient team, the editorial policy was set: that of promulgating 0nd commending PJC men for outstanding accomplishments and encouraging them to widen their range of interests. In this policy as in others, the NEWS worked very closely with the Outing Ciub, the Athletic Department and basketball team, cmd the newly formed Portland Junior College Dance Band. 56 The Newsa nce First Row: CI. to rtJ Bob ledger, Jim MucVane, Jim Henson, Second Row: G. to rt.J Tarn Langellu, and Gleynn Brooks. P. J. CJs weekly newspaper, The Newsunce, has completed its fourth year of successfully reporting the latest happenings, gossip, and extra-curricular activities of the school. Cepies were available in ye olde ceFfee shoppe for the student body and faculty. The items. were written in an informal, easy going manner that seem- ed to appeal to most of the students. The Newsance stat? at the first of the year was composed of Glyenn Brooks and John Taylor. In December The Newsanoe and the Scuttle-butt combined and added three more members to the sta'FF; Bob Ledger, Torn Longellu and Jim Hun- son. In February, Jim MacVane joined the staff and took over the editorship. These iournolists handled the reporting, writingr editing, production and distribution of the paper. These gentlemen proved to be fearless in their writing and were con- stantly looking for things to criticize. Being true iaurnalists, they uttered any in- dividual or group as much space in the paper to defend themselves as the staff would use to condemn them. Editor Machtne touched off quite a stir in February when he printed a car- teen that many students felt was degrading to the Dean. After the student council discussed the matter and even talked of throwing The Newsance off the campus, the staff hit back the next issue with another cartoon and showed that it didn't feel that it was in the wrong because a few took exception. In February when the Circle K announced that it had closed its doors to members at the student body, The Newsance sta'FF was on the ball and presented the facts that a club receiving money from student funds could not close its doors to the students. After but one issue the Circle K opened its doors and The New- unce had another win. As the year rolled on The Newsance lost Bob Ledger when he left schoel and moved to Connecticut,50mewhere along the line Jim Hanson decided that he was not c: reporter and withdrew from the stuft. We feel that the men who remained with the paper through the year and helped it over the rough Spots deserve the right to call themselves true members of the fourth estate . They worked hard to bring to the students a paper that the students could be proud to read and look forward to every week. We hope to see some of them back at the iob next year. 57 Dick Marsh, Bruce Luugh'iin The Rug, :1 weekly publication on campus, was started as a ioke the year be- fore lest under the name of The Independence Plus. The name of the paper was changed to the Mg when it was established as a weekly pubiication. The Rag Flourished tor the remainder of the year under the able leadership of three seniors and two freshmen. The Rag kept the students interested and well informed by pre- senting to them a well balanced paper which consisted of cartoons, humor, cur- rent events, and schoo! activities and problems. This last year the Rug florished under the leadership of William Densmore, Dick Marsh, Bruce Luughlin, Norman LuChurite, and others. The publication finally slucked off until it died tor, I hope, hibernatedj by mid-semester. Its demise was partiutly due to the instability in the number of staff members. The Rug, however, was by no means 0 failure. It presented to the students a well rounded newspaper and eniightened them concerning problems; and most of all, it proved that a new weekly publication would be well received by the students of Portland Junior Col- 'Iege. 58 First Raw: - f0 rtJ Dave DeRepentigny, Ken Taylor, Dick Miller, Second Row: U. to ttJ Ditk Marsh, Loo Chubot, Jack Wood. This afternoon, WCSH-TV invites you to ioin another presentation of the popular 'iOn the Spot college feature. Four college men from Portland Junior College wilf try to put on the spot our guest ----- . This quotation has been used to introduce the interesting and popvlur dis- cussion panels on television today. Only in its third year, the TV Club has become a powerful voice through which its listeners keep up an the latest current events; the program also provides for the ordinary man to ask questions which concern everyone. One of the most centroversiai questions which was presented concerned the educational program on the national, state and local Ievei. Mr. Loring Additon, Superintendent of Schools in Bath, and President of the Maine Teachers Association gave an excetlent summary of the matter which concerns every one of us. Another interesting panel concerned Muineis pride and joy, the Maine Turn- pike, with William Getchell, Executive Secretary of the Maine Turnpike Authority, answering the questions put forth by the students. During the past year, the spotlight shone on the candidates for Governor and other emces of the state of Maine in the coming election: Willis Trafton Jr. of Au burn, Republican candidate for Governor, and Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives; Alexander la Fieur, Repubiicen candidate for governor and former Attorney General,- Philip Chapman of Portland, Republican candidate and state senator; and Edmund S. Hiscock, Democratic candidate for governor. All these gentlemen sat in the guestis spotlight and answered questions pertaining to their piatforms. In defense of his record as governor, we were honored to have Governor Edmund S. Muskie of Maine as our last guest On the Spot . The club was fortunate to have back for his second year, Dave DeRepentigny, who along with Wayne McDu'Ffie, Dave Richie, Jack Woods, Dick Miller, Ken Taylor, Dick Marsh, Leo Chabut, Norman Farley, John Benoit, Jim Rondeuu. Don Halgren, and Henry Perkins, under the supervision of faculty adviser John F. Jaques, kept the programs interesting to the large audience of listeners. Once in a while, some of the penei members looked as if they were on the Spot, but managed to come up with a question that brought the attention back to the guests. The limits of the TV Clubis program On the Spot have yet to be reached and we hope the future clubs will have the pleasure and success enioyed by this yearfs members. 59 Camera Club er First How: U, to rtJ Leo. L. Chubot, Hollis J. Allen, Richard Marsh, Second Row: H. to r?.J Ernest L Luughlin, Edgar Beautieu. .- This yecr Portland Junior College has enioyed one of its most successful seu- sons. Although membership has been small, the club has achieved outstanding success in carrying out the varied proiects set forth in its charter. The officers, elected or the beginning of the year, are as follows: President. Hoilis Allen,- Vice-President, Richard Marsh; SecretaryaTreasurer, Edward Eeaulieu. It has been the sincere desire of these officers to provide the student body with the opportunity of becoming intimately acquainted with the club's well equipped dark room and processing procedures. the club's weekly meetings have been characterized by lively conversation concerning meny varied phases of photography. It is at these meetings that 5 great deal of vuiuuble information has been garnered for the entightenment of utl members. The club has been fortunate in having members with extensive experience in various photographic fields such as aerial, commerciut. and portraiture photo- graphy and roentgenology. The camera club darkroom in buiiding 300 has. we are glad to say, pro- vided many members of the student body with many hours of constructive relax- ation. The club has prot'lted from numerous donations by various people and groups, of mciericis that were out of reach of the budget. CoIOr film and color pro- cessing chemicals have been and are now available in the lab for students who may wish to venture into this field. The club has had numerous exhibitions of prints and slides which were ex- tremely interesting and educational. Because of the vast quantity of work required for the school papers and year book. the club is greatly indebted for the services of two very exceptional photographers, Leo Chubut and Dick Marsh who with a great deal of etTort and personal sacriftce contributed substantially to the college spirit and its publications. The club's fucuity adviser is Mr. E. B. Fred Clark. 60 First Row: II. to 1-1.! Ed Foss. Dan Conley, Tank Sillaway, Pete Beanie. Second Row: U. to rtJ Willi! Kaup.

The Outing Club got off to a roaring success again this year under the guidance of Ken Taylor, general chairman and in charge of hunting; Willie Keup, in charge of skiing; Gus er Boduet Chocte, in charge of camping; and Dale Etliot. the fishing man. Mr. Alfred E. Clarke is faculty adviser to the club. The first venture was a hunting trip to East Machios and Gardiner Lake. Quite a Few gut shots but no one brought back ct deer. Next came two hunting trips to the region near the Dyke Mountain cabin ct Sebago. During the snow season, everyone who attended the numerous skiing trips to Dyke and Sugarloaf had a good time. The club stortedJoo , the first time this year a ski carnival; and it was such a success that they plan to make it on annual affair. The carnival started with a dance on Saturday evening followed by an all- day outing at Dyke Mountain, featuring competitive events. The club also enioyed fishing trips to West Carry Pond and Sebcgo, rabbit hunting trips, and the famous cookout: cat little Sebugo which are always well attended. These pleasure trips have provided some of the best gatherings of Portland Junior College students for making acquaintances and having fun. They have been faithfully patronized by the Dead River Boys. The Outing Club will not be forgotten for many years by the members who have made Its activities so successful. 62 Deer Hunting Trip, November 943, 1955 Don SaundeHs Camp See urrowf; Gardners Lake, Easf Muchius, Me. ..

One of the newest and most active organizations on campus this year was the Portland Junior College Dance Band. The band, started through the efforts of Wiilicm Gugnon and Vincent Battles, received its charter from the Student Coun- cil making it the first organized band in the history of the college. Growing from seven members at its First rehearsal to the present number of fifteen, the band supported the college by playing for weekly assemblies, Parents'Night, the Winter I Carnival Dc nce, and the Spring Outing Dance. On March 29 the band played an I assembly program at Freeport High School. The highlight of the year was the band's trip to North Haven, Maine, on May 4 and 5. Playing to a capacity aud- ience at ca public dance in Adams Hall, the band won fame for itseif end the co!- Iege. One of the features of the band was the Dixiecets , a group of members who supplied dixielund music to our audiences. This group was composed of Vern Smith, clarinet; Mike Stockwetl, tenor saxaphone; James Murston, trombone; William Gugnon, trumpet; Vincent Batties, piano,- Peter Williams, drums; William Cooper, boss; and Lloyd Perry, guitar. Roy Fisher was the featured vocalist with the band. Credit for such a fine year goes to every member of the bend. the director Wiliiam Gagnon, and Mr. John Jaques, the faculty adviser. 64 Jazz Club tgii First ROW: il- la rtJ Joe Kazui, Herb Strom, Dick Marsh, Second Row.- LI. to rm Omar Bream, Vince Buttiu, Bill Gcgnon, Bruce laughlin. The Portland Junior College Jazz Club opened the year with great interest and the largest and most active membership on campus. A real gone :thI by the name of Herb Strom was the maestro with Dick Marsh, Joe Kezal, Omar Breuu, Bill Gegnon, Bruce Nero, Bob Davis, and Bruce Laughlin rounding out the combo. There was a stir of interest at Westbrook Junior too, but it died after one fiasco. Early in the semester, Don Ferguson, Portland's own jazzy impresurio led discussions of and played records of many luminaries in the jazz field. After two or three meetings, Westbrook Junior giris were invited down for meetings foi e lowed by dancing. This affair proved to be unsuccessful, however, as many of the young ladies were left without partners. So endeth dancing, ioint meeting, meet- ings, Don Ferguson and, temporarily, the Jazz Club. The Club suffered a tremend- ous set back, but came back fighting with the first Juzz-on-the-Campus Concert. lmpressario-turned-promoter, Don Ferguson, lined up four modern jazz combos For a two-and-a-haIf-hour concert on January 15, 1956. The Club printed and sold tickets and set up the hull while Don took care of publicity. Over 200 cuts show- ed up to hear the Charlie Pine Trio, the Jerry Cohen Trio, the Dick Cornweli Querw tet, and Gene Whiting Quintet and stayed until the hipsters blew their last chorus. Unsatisfied with having just one success, the club and Don held a second Jazz'on-the-Campus Concert on April 29. Don Iinedrup c: fabulous sextet featuring Herb Pomeroy, former Stan Kenton lead trumpet; Claude Noel, pianist with Terry Gibbs; Joe LaFiumme, sax soloist on Buddy Morrow's Night Train; and Freddy UConneil, former Randy Brookts drummer.

Over 250 receptive but weil-mun- nered people, not all cats but some moldy figs too, attended and enioyed them- ls-Delwee immensely. Jazz has found a new home and everyone ibut everyoneD is appv- As in past years, the club established excellent relations with local disk iockeys and newspapermen. The dee iuys attended both concerts en masse and provided us with many free plugs on the air. Howie Leonard, Ken Garland, and Frank Sweeney of WPOR interviewed and talked with Don Ferguson on the air as did Arnie Kuvent and Dex Card at WGAN and Ray Mercier, Bob Arnold, Phil Mur- ray and Ellis O'Brien of WCS-H. The Gonnett newspapers primed stories and photo- graphs of the club and its activities and one of their men covered the last concert. That proves the popuiority of iczz on the local scene and the esteem in which the club is held. Spesmodic meetings didn't hurt the popularity and activity of the club but tended to arouse more interest among the Guy Lombardo fans as to what iuzz really is. Stick around boys, was John Jaquesi only comment as the club's 'Fac- ulty adviser went back to his Down Beat and Metmneme to see what great ecl- vcmces next year's ciub could make to match this year's unprecedented popularity. 65 .

Early in the year, the Portland Junior College Circle K Club etected us ifs emcers: Robert Bowen, President; Donald Hollgren, VicewPresident; David Flaherty, Secretary; and David Wiiliams, Treasurer. These emcers and members, under the guidance of their Faculty Adviser, Dean Bonney, Iived-up to the standards of the Circle K . In March, the Circle K decided to ioin and adopt the Charter of the Circle K International. This was a great step forward in the formation of c: better club. In joining International, the Circle K had to set down new lawa and restrictions. The Circle K sponsored many of the leading school activities during the year as it had done in previous years. To mention c: few of them, the Club spon- sored a spaghetti supper and later a Harvest Dance. They also delivered 2500 Kiwanis auction pamphlets. A! Christmas time, the Club provided three needy families with complete dinners us well as toys and ciothing. At the same time, they worked side by side with the Marina's Toys for Tots Campaign . The young Kiwanicns also 5 onscred the BeaverTs Bali for the second ear. P Y The club wishes to express its gratitude to the officers and members, and especially to our adviser, Deon Bonney. The Circle K receives its enioyment and compensation two-fold: from the heip it renders the school and the community, and From the activities themselves. 66 Kappa Sigma Delta Seated: Omer Bureau, Henry Perkins, Lloyd Williams.

Officers elected GI the first meeting were, President, William Wiltie Keup; Vice- President, Herb Buckeye Strom; Secretary 3t Treasurer, Mrs. Dorothy Hamilton IHousemotherJ; and Watchdog, Omar Tentmakert! Breau. The purpose of this group was to promote friendship and brotherhood. both socially and academically, among the studems Iiving at the house. Several parties were held during the year and guests were invited. The members were very active in the college clubs and activities with one on the student council, three in the P. J. C. band, three in the Jazz Club, and three in the Outing Club. The present members feel they have gained a valuable experience through this unique organization and hope the club will be maintained in the years to come. 67 Seated: Phil Anderson.

The Winter Carnival outdoor activities took place at Dyke Mountain, Se- bago, on March 4. The dapce started at 8:30 Satur- day evenmg with over one hundred pgople present. Music was pro- VICle by the Portland Junior Col- lege dance band, and the audito- rium was decorated in white and blue with a white sleigh near the stage. Miss Burke, after being crowned by freshman class presi- dent Ken Taylor, was presented with a corsagc. Her escort was Greg Sllloway, a preicollege stu- dent. Queen Anne Marie had many pictures: taken while sitting in the Sleigh. On Saturday, the Outing Club had food and hot coffee for all. Ken Taylor said, It was a real success and worth all the work that went into it. Al Clarke, fac- ' ulty adviser to the club, said it was 'lsuch a success that we are plan- ning to make it an annual affair. Cthgrton And- Battles Form College Band On November 9, 1955, the Stu- dent Council of Portland Junior College approved the charter of the Portland J unior College Dance Bend, the first chartered instru- mental group in the colleges his- tory. They made their first ap- pearance before the student body at the weekly assembly held on November 30. Three numbers were played: My Bonnie Lassie, and two Dixieland numbers, At the Jazz Band Ball and Clarinet Marmalade Their first formal ap- pearance was at the annual par- entts Night on December 6. An ap- preciative audience heard the new- ly formed group play High So- ciety, ttMy Bonnie Lassief The Way You Look Tonight, which was dedicated to the parents, and At the Jazz Band Ball, which was dedicated to the students. The band was organized through the efforts of Vincent Battles and William Gagnon when a number of students who played instruments indicated that they would like to belong to an organization such as this. Vern Smith. Leo Chebot, Mike Stockwell, Jamee Libby, and Charles Bullett compose the sex section. John Greely is on tramw bone while William Gagnon, Robert Bruns, and Reginald Drapeau make up the trumpet section. The rhythm section includes Vincent Battles on piano and Peter Williams on drums. The band is being directed by Gag- non. Mr. John Jaques is the fac- ulty adviser. On an appropriation by the stLb dent council the band equipped themselves with music and music stands. The band will hold weekly rehearsals and provicle music for assemblies and school functions. Students Invited . To Try Out For -you .xdncl Journali'dne . Usually college students have two predominant attitudes: journalism as a career even though they all may Ireahze it society. Either a student is so inspired by the destre to write-t wants to start immediately or he is so subdued by the name ale he refrains from any contact with it. . What many students fail to realize is the tremendIous GXFa . the term journalism and the many different categories In whichI-it opportunities for success. According to the College Outline Su t Journalism, we may roughly 6ivide the term into five categur newspapers, t2l general magazines and reviews, I3J glass, t professional journals, t4; news magazmes and magazme dige 033 radio and television. Thus, there is room for three distinct disrupting factors. Portland Junior College students have made good. Former ' Editor, Harry Grey, went with WCSH newsroom anti last year's in-Chief, Norm Pierce, is currently studying Joumallsm at Nerth-' University while working part-time on the Boston Herald.

Outing Clhgers iTaIk Cold Turkey By Ken Taylor Members of the Outing Club held a hunting trip at Dyke Mountain during the past Thanksgiving weekend. They were Al Clarke the elubts adviser; Ken Taylor, chair- man; Dan Conley, Jim Caselden, and Jack Wood. The mornings were frosty ones With ice on the water pails and wood that wouldn't burn. But with a little help from some boyr scout water and Jim Caseldenls lungs, the hree were started. Al Clarke says we may have the best looking outhouee in Cumber- land Countyuand probably the coldest, of writing: hctional, factual, and discussional.

Maine alike By Robert Fay . Maine wmft forget Carl Broggi m a hurry. He gave his state too much for time to wash away that. memory. He gave to his town, San- ford, natien-wide recognition as The town that refused to die, and to his state he gave his life. in an attempt to prove that it, too, was still alive. Hie program was industrial deveIOpment; his method was sincerity and humble aggres- sion; his spirit was one that re- fused to spell defeat; his leader- ship inspired all men; and his life was seif-elected. l Carl Broggi graduated 'from Bates College in 1930 and had started graduate work there the following year with intentions of entering the medical profession. His father suddenly died. Broggi. the second oldest of six children. immediately returned to Sanford to make the continued education of his sisters and brothers possible ' by carrying on his father's news- paper dis tribution business. Carl Broggiis life in Sanford was equally dedicated. He served on the Sanford schuol committee, was one of the leaders in raising funds for the Sanford War Memo- rial Gymnasium, and served as the first president of the Community Fund. He was the Exalted Ruler of the Sanford Lodge of Elks and King Lion 01' the Sanford Lions Club. He was also an active mem- ber of the Sanford-Springvale Fish and Game Protection Association, the Sanford Town Club and the Sanford Country Club. A Republican, Broggi served in the State House of Representatives in 1949-50, followed by two terms in the State Senate. During his last term in the Senate he was chairman of the joint Education Committee of the Senate and House. He gave up his political career in 1953 to help his town face the probable loss of the Goodall-Senv ford industry and was instrumental 1 in the townie industrial rehabili-i tation. He organized the Sanford-j r Springvale Chamber of Commerce and was elected its first president, the office from which he was able to direct the bringing of ten new industries into Sanford in less than a year. Recently, his part in the Sanford Plan was disclosed in a play built around his life and leadership presented on the Arm- strong Circle Theater television program. Despite Broggi's Republican status, he was appointed by Gov- ernor Muskie as commissioner of the new State Department of In- dustry and Commerce. Broggi im- mediately laid down a program consisting of research, fact-finding, and inventory. then action. Along with the divisions of industrial de- velopment recreational promotion and research and planning, he won approval fmm Muskie for addi- tional divisinm, of Geology and Public Relations. Along with his special assistant Louis Shapel and other competent ofhcials, Broggi held eight indus- trial clinics throughout the state and six industrial schools. His death occurred during the sixth school in Lewiston, the same day that a. reporter from the Wall Street Journal was attending in order to write a story about the department. The seventh and last school was held in Portland on March 22 and was conducted by Governor Muskie as a tribute to Broggi. Broggi worked at a killing pace in order to influence industries to move into Maine, seldom getting more than six hours of sleep per night. He drove long distances, often appearing in several widely separated places in a single day. Portland Junior College had the privilege of hearing him speak at an assembly during the schoolis ! first semester, an engagement that was made at the last minute. Six new industries moved into Maine during Broggiis five-month tenure and two established ones were persuaded to stay. The pro- gram, the liret of its kind in the United States, was receiving nan- ticm-wide attention with Kentucky even sending a request for permis- sion to cop it. Broggi had pre- dicted that hy the end of the year there would be at least twenty-four new industries established in the state. I . At forty-seven Broggi wesnit old. Described as the 'ishinins light of New Englandis economy, who knows what heights he might have attained, either as an individual or as a leader of Maine's industrial prosperity ? When and if his successors suc- ceed in bringing more new indus- tries into Maine, it will be the greatest memorial that could ever be given to Carl Broggi. He has laid the foundation for the build- ing of industrial Maine. In San- ford, the town that Broggi re.- fused to let die, he has left a rich heritage in new industries. ' It will indeed be surprising and perhaps disastrous if Maine fails to live up to Carl Broggi's expecta- tions. The man is deeci but his spirit will live on in the hearts of New England and especially his native Maine. . .-. .- 1. l-- i o I - . Inn... .- . .. . - - : .M ..
