Where is there a scene more heantifnl than the Colnmhia op- j)o.site Astoria durini ’ the season when hundi'eds of Avhite-wiiioed sail l)oats may lie seen far and near! It is especially so at ni.uht fall when the snn dips below the horizon, and the river takes on the mo.st beanti- fnl shades of red. oraim'e and iiray. forming a scene Avhich no artist can paint. ( )ne noticeable feature of the lliyh School is the lack of flowers and })ictnres in the various rooms. Althongh there is some excuse for the absence of pictures as o ir school is com] aratively new. there is none for not having flowers. AVe have these things in onr homes and why shonld we not have them in onr school rooms since we spend Inlly as mnch time hei'e. Pdowers and good pictures wonld greatly add to the beaidy of onr High School and make the honrs spent in study mnch moi-e jjleasant.

Rule IV. “Social fuuetions shall be limited to Friday and Sat¬ urday nights.” Frequent preparation for entertainments, the learning of parts, rehearsals, etc., take the mind from study. Frequent social affairs are even more detracting; for no matter hoAV simple they may he, the autiiupation beforehand and the weariness afterward are not cf)nduetive to keen mentality. Let us “cut out too many good times during our high school course and we shall see an improvement in our scholarship. Years ago, the Astoria High School began the publication of a paper called the “Quill.” After some time, the interest waning, the paper Avas discontinued. In the year 1905, the publication was again started, and this time it was called the “Zephyrus, ” meaning “west Avind.” The first editor in chief of the “Zephyrus” Avas LaAvrence Rogers, associate editor, Annie Bergman, and business manager, Ilaiwey Allen. Since that time the ])uhlication of the “Zephyrus” has con¬ tinued Avithout interruption. It is noAv a large and Avell conducted paper full of interest to students and to those not connected Avith the school. It is published monthly and sells for tAventy cents a copy. The annual edition of 1912 is larger and better than any that haAm preceded it. 8
