·~ Mrs. Elizabeth Eastman

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 year's 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 orators 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 to the letter, all her life. Adequately occupied with her secretarial duties, Mrs. Eastman has never once passed off 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 treading 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.

Nineteen hundred forty-eight marked the beginning of a new school year for thousands of students the world over. But at Port­ Senior 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 Class more rabidly contested. Without cause the Senior Class split into two factions; older vet· erans and younger veterans ( for purposes of designation) and the Officers fight was carried on with all the political judo at hand ... no holds barred. The younger faction with more energy to expend formed itself HENRY P. LATINI into the «Committee For Better Student Representation" and im­ President mediately launched literary missles bordering on the defamatory and libelous. D own 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; mimeograph machines, oratory, the U. S. mails all saw service in this year's 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 J unior College will some day receive its proper recognition. Then to back up that confidence 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 H enry 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 p ro­ curement of a class gift by a committee of such seniors as J erry Howard, Committee Chairman, and his able assistants, Ray Leeman, Scott H oar, Ralph Roberts, Jed Bridges, and Larry Campbell. T he gift chosen by the class . . . a stuffed S tag's head for the Auditorium PETE BARRIS CEDRIC F. WILLIAMS FRANK]. NANOS ... is a credit to the members of the Class of '49.

• Freshman Class Officers 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 be 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 lin.e of separa­ tion between senior and freshman participation grew to an indis­ cernible thinness.

.....~~ l>RE-COLLEGE 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.

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; and Public Relations outfitting and transporting our basketball team, to mention but a few. Committee 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, but 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 students wanted class rings and class pins. The council selected an excellent design, one that received almost unanimous approval of the seniors. But in the first 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 debates were concerned with <(Communism and Capitalism," and <(Strengthening Interna­ tional Relations With Russia." 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 (

They were: Eli Kroot, President; Philip Michaud, Vice President; E. George McGlauflin, Secretary; and Donald Hoyt, Treasurer.

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 week-end 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.

"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 WPOR), 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 of the good job being done.

The Radio Club

Organized during the third week of school, this year's 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: "The Great Books Forum," held Sunday evenings over WPOR; ((Portland Junior Col­ lege On The Air," presented Tuesday evenings over WPOR; and "News and Views of P.J.C.," aired over WMTW on Wednesday Henry Latini looks on as Edward Feeney evenings. interviews Chick Hayes, prominent fight pro­ moter, during the Summer series of "P.].C.

This year, for the first time since establishment on the present campus, a dramatic club was organized at the Junior College. Officers were elected with Richard Hasson becoming President, Arnold Kuvenc, 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, "Speak 'O The Devil," produced by Walter Thombs. The cast included such proven performers as Ronald Lander, Ronald Smith, Dick Hasson and Dick Noyes. The club also scored another radio success, "Christmas Comes To An Seated, left to right-Doris Robinson, Freda Dyer, Island," an original play by Dick Goodie. Mary Lou Marks.

The female members of the cast, and they did an excellent job, were supplied 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 on" to the men who will make up next year's club.

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 dub 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 dub lost by 14 points, but made a fine showing and other matches were quickly scheduled. Only two members of this year's team wiU be 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

In the words of Coach Ray Bicknell as the season began, ((Well, we don't have to worry about an undefeated season this year." That was the beginning of the '48-'49 basketball season for the Junior College <

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 floor. Clad in old fashion caps, coats and checkered knickers, and never successfully completing any of their involved yells, they were able to raise the audience to a record pitch of enthusiasm. They were active throughout the late Fall and Winter. APPRECIATIONS * *

Besides its Baked B,eans and Brown Bread Burnham & Morrill Company has long been known for the excellence of quality and flavor of its ocean-fresh sea foods and Ma:ine grown vegetables. Other specialty products include old fashioned Beef Stew, Mince Meat, Spaghetti, Welsh Rarebit and Maine Corn Relish.
