Starting from an unknown origin, the fire, with amazing rapidity, spread through old structures and fireproof buildings alike, aided in its work of destruction by the viaduct construction of the streets. The pilings, which were creosoted, provided a veritable flue for the flames. Dynamiting was at last resorted to as the only way to appreciably check the flames, and this was tin 1 means of saving the City Hall and the hospital. The conflagration made a clean sweep of the business section, taking in its path theatres, bank buildings, stores, hotels, and private residences, leaving only a fringe of docks and warehouses along the waterfront. The extent of the disaster was variously estimated from ten to fifteen million dollars. For a time, the telephone, light, and water systems were out of commission; and a serious shortage of the local food supply was feared, but aid was promptly given. Too much tribute cannot be paid to Portland and a score of other cities and towns, which instantly respond¬ ed with aid on receipt of the news of the disaster. It is a pretty big price to pay for publicity, but all good things come high. People who had never heard of Astoria are now familiar with its history and potential importance through the widely published stories of the fire, and will critically watch the process of reconstruc¬ tion. The school is attempting to do its bit by putting out a Zephyrus totally independent of the usual contributions from the Astoria busi¬ ness men. Considering our limited resources, it was a pretty tough proposition to put out an annual on a par with last year’s publication. We hope the readers will consider this. THE ZEPIfYliFS 11 Purple and Gold Then is purple and gold in the sunset, And purple and gold in the field Where the clover and buttercups shine, In nature ' s fair carpet revealed. Goldenrod glows by llie wayside. Purple asters nod in the breeze To the music of the bird-songs, And the whisperings of the trees. Purple and Gold are our colors, To them we are loyal and true; And, winning or losing, we love them Whenever their brightness we view. Oh, purple and gold, our own colors We cheer them and lift them high; We love them wherever we see them, On our walls, in the field, in the sky. Exchange. 12 THE ZEPHYRUS A CKNO WLEDGMENTS We the members of the staff wish to sincerely thank the follow¬ ing : The different organizations of the high school, which gave their financial and moral support to us during the work of publication.

Although feeling that we are about to die an honorable death and depart to in¬ habit the heavenly mansions prepared for us above, we still retain our brilliant intellects and remarkable memories. As a class we do hereby bequeath the following: To Mr. Earl and the faculty we leave the rest of the feeble¬ minded students. We sincerely hope that they will occupy your time and cause you more trouble than we did. To the coming January Seniors we leave Room 15. Miss Walton will he thrown in to boot. To the Sophomores we leave every thine, ' green we heretofore wore on St. Patrick’s Day, that they might he constantly reminded of a Senior’s dignity which they some day will have. We also will that all miscellaneous articles are to he sold at public auction to the highest bidder and the funds derived shall be given to the home of blind mice. The following individuals do hereby bequeath the following: Rodney Farley leaves the presidency to any one big enough to hold it down. Catherine Franciseovich leaves her honors and over-ready smile to Sophy Holton’s little sister. Karla Sorenson is willing to give a few avoirdupois to Beda Felt. Albert Tucker leaves his interest in Portland to any one who can afford to make annual visits there once a week. Arnold Kiminki wills that his basketball captaincy be given to his little brother. Earl Hoff requests that we leave his rare collection of radio hook-ups to Miss Walton. Edna Smith leaves her honors in geometry to some one taking a commercial course. Eino Tmpola requests that we give his marbles to one of the smallest fellows in school, Frank Bates. Anna Erickson leaves her quiet manner to some loud mouthed Sopho¬ more. Carl Oja leaves his perfect English S lessons to one of Mrs. Kemp- thorn’s pets. Signed, Cameron Larson. 16 THE ZEPHYRUS JANUARY CLASS PROPHESY Astoria, Oregon, June 1, 1941- Dear Rodney:— I am surely glad to lie;ir of your success at making cheese down there in Tillamook. I read that you took all the gold medals at the world’s fair at Skipanon. I just came back from a trip abroad. Believe me, little old As¬ toria surely looks good. I am beginning to believe that there is no place like home. The school hoard just sent me notice that they want me back to teach psychology at the old A. II. S. this fall. They say I am the only one who has been a success at it since Miss Watkins time. Some honor, eh? By the way, I saw, or heard of all of the old January ’23 grad¬ uates. Earl Hoff is in Paris. He owns a big cafe. Do you remember the Astoria fire back in ’22? Well, Earl made a fortune cleaning bricks afterward, and then went to France. Karla Sorenson and Anna Erickson are dancers in Hoff’s cafe. Supposed to be the best classical dancers in Europe so I went down and saw them one evening. Say you would be surprised. As I was standing on a corner in Lisbon, I happened to notice a sign which read, “Tucker Dancing Academy.” Upon inquiring I found out it was Al. He and his wife, Edna Smith, had come over two years before and as Al had discovered a genius in himself in this line, he immediately started in his new career. Al told me that Carl Oja was in Spain as an embassador from Mexico, but I was not able to see him as he was in the pest house with the small pox. Arnold Kiminki is at the head of a girls’ athletic association in Hong Kong. His chief helper is Catherine Franciscovich. These Chinese millionaires keep her busy saying no; they all seem to be after her scalp. Arny is always sporting around a big “A” on one of his sweaters. On the way down the Columbia, T stopped off at Cathlamet. Sitting on the dock was Eino Impola smoking a big cigar. He looked to be well off, so I asked him what liis line was. He said that he had a cat and rat farm. When he skinned a cat he gave the carcass to the rats and in turn fed the cats on rats. Sort of a perpetual motion affair. Well, Rod since we have light wines and beer in Oregon, I’ll take a drink to your health and future progress in cheese making. Your old classmate, Cameron. THE ZEPHYKVH 17 June Class Officers President Curtis Dyer Vice-President Edwin Ross Rena Bousli .Ottar Dahl Secretary Treasurer Sergeant-at-arms Class Advisor . .Miss Lillian Littler Uno Anderson Senior Notes The class of ' 23 at its first meeting sustained its record for accom¬ plishing things. Curtis Dyer was nominated and unanimously elected president. A constitution was drawn up and adopted and the class started on its journey. To guide us the motto: “NOT ON THE ideals of a student. Several social affairs were held during the year. On October the twenty-first a “Bright Idea” party was held. On February the twenty-first a Senior-Junior party attended by members of both classes occurred in Patriot Hall. March the thirtieth, the Seniors attended a breakfast in the City Park at six o ' clock A. M. At the time this book went to press the class was contemplating holding a theatre party and plans for the ever memorable Senior Picnic were being arranged. The Seniors upheld their honor on January 18th by defeating the Juniors, 8 to 1, in a basketball game, thus repeating the perfor¬ mance of the previous year. The faculty play which seemed doomed to failure, as it was held so soon after the fire and because of tin unsettled conditions, was nev¬ ertheless, a great success. The class of ’23 showed its “get there” spirit by establishing a ticket selling record that was much greater than the sales for previous plays. Too much credit cannot be given to the efforts of Miss Littler, the class advisor. To her, the class of ’23 owes much of its success. The school will regret the passing of ’23 as a large part of the football and basketball teams was composed of Seniors. But the world goes on forever just as Father Time plods unceasingly onward. As one man passes so will another arise to take his place. 18 THE ZEPHYRUS FANNIE URELL “On with the dance.

We’ve left the harbor of the Purple and Gold To a port that Destiny has in store, Determined to win and bravely bold To knock at Fame’s gateway and door. But as we sail on memories ships We dream of those days gone by, Of times we’ve had, and the friendships We’ve made—at old Astoria High. So hoist up the main sails, my hearties We’re bound on a life cruise supreme, eave ho! my lads we’ve found the breeze A e re bound to the port of our dreams. —Don Schultz, ’23.

Senior Class Vropheey June first, Nineteen Hundred and Forty-three! The day the class reunion was to be held, and there 1 was, poised above Astoria in a stalled Aeroplane. I had flown from Washington, D. 0., since early morning and had had perfect luck, so I was not surprised now to have something go wrong. Something was bound to break some¬ where because I was in a hurry, and anyone in a hurry is destined by fate to be in a spell of bad luck. I should have thought that by “43,” Aeroplanes would be perfected beyond the breaking down stage, but mine wasn’t. There 1 was, di¬ rectly over Astoria, tinkering with my engine, and it was already time for the banquet. In sheer desperation and disgust I pulled at a con¬ necting wire. It was the wrong wire, it naturally had to be under the circumstances. I remembered, too late, what that wire was for, and how I had been warped never to touch it. Touch it I had, and down I dropped, toward the house-tops. Roofs rose to meet me—I closed my eyes and waited for the crash—it came—I fell on—through a skylight and landed in the banquet hall of Astoria ' s largest hotel. Unwittingly I had dropped in on my class banquet. With exclamations of surprise and pity at my plight, the members of the class pulled me out of the wreckage and led me to my place. 32 TEE Z EPHYRUS When everyone was seated again, I began to get my bearing and saw that Curtis Dyer, our old class president, officiated at the head of the table, while Miss Littler, class advisor, presided at the foot. As the dinner progressed everyone decided to quench the thirst for knowledge by having each person rise and make a little speech tell¬ ing their present occupation. Miss Littler is the professor of Aero¬ nautics at Camp Lewis. Don Schultz, I learned, was engaged as a cartoonist by the Eve¬ ning Budget. Florence Elliot, the silent member of the company was a member of Barnum and Bailey. She was featured as “Ivorak” the only silent woman in captivity. Jane Sanborn had been putting her Packard to good use by run¬ ning a sight-seeing bus between tbe depot and other beauty spots of in¬ terest. Burnby Bell was a walking advertisement for “Stay Put” to give that “Patent Feature” look to pompadors. Ruby Gullickson was using her red hair advantageously as a dan¬ ger signal, while she was traffic cop on the corner of Eleventh and Exchange. Betty Siddall had been all over Europe, pursuing the Melodious Notes of the Violin. Lillian Sauvola was exercising her training in practice teaching by keeping order among the A. H. S. Freshman. Prances Leinenweber and Petra Johnson were conducting a danc¬ ing establishment, where Sophie Holten was employed to run the player piano. Grace Rasmussen was not present, but 1 learned that she had gone into the depths of Africa as a gentle missionary. Martina Smith was a charming model in a delightful little French shop, where dresses for the “slender miss” were featured. Louise Bartlett had become the leader of “The Come Over Club,” an old maids’ society, and was running an orphan asylum in her spare moments. Fannie Urall and Martha Makela, the inseparable “gold dust twins,” were tripping the light fantastic before the footlights. Sidney Carlson was very busy trying to evolve a machine which would do his thinking for him. Jeanette Chisholm was engaged as a physical instructor at Bryn Mawr. THE EVU YU US 33 Ted Diamond was called for and upon standing, declared that he was manufacturing “Smoothex” for that “school girl complexion.” The group all remembered Ted in high school for his “baby skin.” Idle next person on the list, a tall, sinuous, graceful woman, stood up and before us we saw Florence Carlson, the “Maybelline” of movie fame. Aili Lauru, “the Blond Jaunita,” rose and informed us that she was chief saleswoman for “Blond Tint—that Peroxide finish,” not a dye. Helm Westersnnd, upon being called for, said that she and Ottar Dahl conducted the Seappoose Penny Bank. Helen Smith could not be present, to our regret, as she was con¬ verting the natives of Hong Kong, Kam Chatka and Madagascar to woman’s suffrage. Esther Carlson of gymnastic fame said she was conducting a gym¬ nasium for tired suffragettes. Carnet Adkins “the seventh graders’ delight ” needed no announce¬ ment because of the fame she had attained as president of the U. of Knappton. Just then a late arrival distracted our attention and we recognized Emil Berg, Judge of the Federal Court of Oregon. He explained his delay having had to pass sentence on Ruben Ross for conducting the biggest illegal beer garden and brewery on the Pacific Coast. Ruben, he explained- had been fined $1,61)8.07 l-‘d and sentenced to thirty years at Leavenworth. Margaret Nelson and Charles Foster, the terpsichorean artists, con¬ duct the local branch of the Matrimonial Agency, owned and controlled by Jack Keating and Esther Setters. Marion Johnson’s fame is known by her book “The Abominable Men.” Ed Kaitera, the eminent salesman, has attained such success that he has retired, but he occasionally lectures on “Pep” for Chautauqua Circuits. As a crowning achievement to the banquet, Bjarne Erickson known in circus annals as “Mumbo Jumbo” the boomerang artist arose with a whirl, took up two forks, a knife, cup and saucer and threw them so as to circle around Miss Littler’s head three times and return to him. 34 THE Z EPHYRUS When I was just going to leave the hotel my ears were tendered with the sounds of music. The famous Columbia Hotel Orchestra was playing one of the newest jazz pieces, “Sweet and Low.” I noticed that the leader of the orchestra was a man who had long locks of curly hair. T saw an elevator hoy, Arnold Peterson, and asked him who this Orchestra leader was, and to my surprise, he said that he was Professor Kasten Fellman, who had made a thorough study of music in Russia and France. I was going to inquire more from Arnold, but he said that lie was too busy, because he was getting ready for a ban¬ quet which was to be given in honor of Senator Knut A. Westergren of Oregon. Senator Westergren was going to speak on the subject “Fallacies of the Aerial Traffic Laws of Oregon.” I decided to stay and hear him speak. T went into the lobby and was surprised when T met a large stately man who said “hello” to me. T looked at him a while, and soon re¬ membered the old football star, Uno Anderson. He said that he had been appointed Federal Prohibition Agent of Oregon and had just ar¬ rested Harold Johnson for operating one of the largest narcotic rings in the state. In one corner of the lobby T saw a door which had a sign over it. The sign read “Public Stenographer.” This reminded me that T had to have some letters written for me, so I went into the office, where I saw a lady busily typewriting. She looked up at me and T Avas as¬ tonished when T recognized her to be Rena Bousli. We began to dis¬ cuss old times and she said that she was just typing some letters for Lily Wellington and Annie Carlson, who had opened a private school. They were specializing in teaching “Psychology of Children.” She also stated that she had been copying some legal documents for At¬ torney Edwin Ross. He had just won a case for Harold Christie, who had been accused of putting too much sugar into the candies which he had been making in his Candy Store. It was getting close to 7 :30, so 1 had to get ready for the banquet. Senator Dyer soon arrived, attired in a large, stove pipe silk hat and carrying a gold handled cane. The program for the evening was opened by President of the Astoria Chamber of Commerce, Ward Cook. He gave an address of welcome and introduced Miss Frances Strange, who was now a prima donna singer. She was to sing the “Star Spangled Banner,” as the opening number for the evening. Oscar Berg, campaign manager for Senator Westergren, then intro¬ duced the Senator who gave a very instructive and interesting talk. THE ZEPHYRUS 35 The Chief Butler, Luverne Shatto, was called on to serve the people and with the able assistance of Mildred Kin ;, they succeeded in win¬ ning a lot of praise for their wonderful service. After experiencing such a day, I thought that it was about time for me to retire. I hopped in tin elevator and told Arnold to take me up tv. the 86th floor. (Signed) IIAROBD JOHNSON, Chairman. Hit 99 Astoria Astoria is the place For the naval base; That everybody knows: It ' ll be a lovely sight, Am I not right,’? For she grows and grows and grows. I’ll bet in a year, If we get it here, The town will be different by far; For the old moss-backs, That have laid up the sacks, Will feel like a jolly old tar. Then hurrah for the town, Where the buildings abound, And the ships come in from the sea; And the people once more Will have faith as before, What a jolly old town it ’ll be. —Louis Raymond.

Owing to the fact that our vice-president and sergeant-at-arms be¬ came February Seniors another election was held on February 13 to fill the vacancies. Florence Brandenburg and Mervyn Behnke were elected to the offices respectively. The class of ’24 upset all precedents and started the year off with a bang. The first activity on the class program was a picnic, but weath¬ er conditions would not permit this undertaking. However, the weather could not stop us, and a “Kid” party was given in the gym. After a delay because of the fire, the “Junior Hi Jinx” was given, and the money realized was used to finance the Prom. In the interval between the giving of the Hi Jinx and the Prom, a Junior-Senior mas¬ querade was held in the gym. Meetings were marked by their large attendance and pep. To Miss Taylor, our Class Advisor, too much credit cannot be given for her untiring help in all our undertakings.

EDWARD (CAITE-RA PRESIDENT Support Your Student Body Officers THE ZEE livin ' , S ' 47 SCHOOL NOTES Assemblies Friday morning assemblies were enjoyed as usual by the students this year. “Pep meetings” featured the football, and later the basket¬ ball season. Songs were elamored for n all possible occasions, and under the able leadership of Miss Cook they wore admirably executed. Friday assemblies are a precedent, which, once established, seem to be regarded by the students as a sacred and inviolable right, ll seems an “altogether fitting and proper” manner in which to wind up a week of hard and brain-taxing labor. During the early part of the school year Mr. Earl was able to ob¬ tain several excellent speakers for the student body. Mr. Wisehaupt, the “Pep Man,” from Cleveland, spoke to the students on the sub¬ ject “Use Your Heads.” The next speaker was Miss Rolph, who spoke in an appeal for contributions to the Armenian Relief. The speaker who probably interested the students most was Mr. Tracy Strong of the Seattle Y. M. C. A. Everyone agreed that they had greatly benefited by his excellent address, and that he possessed a broad, comprehensive understanding of the high school students and their problems. Each year Armistice Day is observed by an assembly at which one of the World War Veterans addresses the Student Body. Dr. Yincil, who is very popular among the high school students, was the orator this year. The students enjoyed the privilege of hearing Dr. E. 0. Sisson of Reed College, recognized as one of the most finished speakers in the Northwest. ITe spoke on a variety of subjects including the benefits of intramural as opposed to interscholastic athletics. An assembly was held on Wednesday afternoon, March 21st, for the purpose of arousing interest in (). A. C. among the high school students. The program was presided over by John Trullmger, a former graduate of the Astoria high school, while other graduates who are at¬ tending the college gave short talks. A dance was arranged for the Juniors and Seniors of the high school by the 0. A. C. publicity com¬ mittee. On Friday, April (5, Dr. John Bovard, dean of the school of Physi¬ cal education, spoke to the students concerning the university and the advantages offered there for a study of physical education. THE E PHY BUS 48 Bill Hayward, internationally famous trainer and coach of track athletics at the University of Oregon, addressed a large gathering of the schools athletes on the subject of track and field events. The lec¬ ture was made especially interesting by the use of slides, which de¬ picted world famous athletes in action. Unlike the usual mode of observing the birthdays of our national heroes no special Assembly was held on Lincoln’s birthday, but an hour was devoted in each room to an appropriate program. In gen¬ eral this consisted of the recitation of the Gettysburg Address, a re¬ port on Lincoln’s life and the reading of the “Perfect Tribute.’ There was no school for the students on Washington s biithday, but everyone was required to report in the morning for an assembly. Mr. Norblad addressed the students in a very interesting talk on the lives of the two geat Americans, George W ashington and Abraham Lincoln. Several patriotic songs were sung and the flag salute was given. Mr. Herald W. Emmel, who for a year and a half had been a science teacher in the Astoria High School, resigned at the close of the fall term, to take up a position in a department store in Nebraska. During his stay at the A. II. S. he gained many friends among the students. He also won recognition from the public by his ability as a comedian, which he displayed in the faculty plays of both this year and the year before. His successor, Mr. White, from all appearances, will be equally popular with the students. The influx of freshmen this fall necessitated the remodeling of the basement into class rooms. This resulted in the moving of the Physics laboratory from its former location upstairs, to the basement. New numbers were also necessary on all rooms, and for a time this worked hardships on absent minded students, who blundered unwitting¬ ly into strange class rooms. Jan was superstitious about having a “13” on the senior room, to whose lot it fell, and declined to paste it there, for which we thank him. Juniors and Seniors mixed in brief but thrilling hostilities early in the spring term. The mix started with a group of Seniors burning the Junior emblems “24”, but real hostilities did not commence until the effacement of the Senior Class numerals, “23”, painted upon the outside wall. While open mouthed underclassmen gazed in awe, two or three disrespectful Juniors were recipients of attentions from Uno and his mighty bludgeon. Retalliations were now in order, and the THE Z EPHYRUS 49 Juniors evened the score at the expense of “Kyte” and “Phoebe.” ' he mix-up ended, before it had gone too far, in the Juniors cleaning up the mess they had made of the wall. One of the largest and most successful social events of the school year was the Junior-Senior party which was held in the gym on the twenty-first of February. The affair was given jointly by the two upper classes, and was a masquerade, the first in many seasons. Games furnished entertainment for the first part of the evening while the later part was spent in dancing. The Boys ' Mixer was held in the early part of the school year. The large crowd of spectators was entertained, among other events, by three boxing matches. The first was a comic blindfold bout— Phoebe Diamond vs. Julius Berg. Don Schultz and Henry Duncan walloped each other black and blue for the edification of the apprecia¬ tive audience, and Prentice Stewart and George Anderson gave an ex¬ hibition of real boxing. Several wrestling matches were put on, and pillow fights, etc., added comic features. The mixer was well attended, and undoubtedly was a success, it is hoped the event will be repeated next year. The boys had nothing on the girls this year when it came to pep. The Girls’ Mixer went off with a bang. The spectators and partici¬ pators enjoyed everything from the races and contests to the last of the candy beans, which constituted the refreshments. One side, com¬ posed of Juniors and Sophomores, defeated the Seniors and Fresh¬ men, ill a basketball game and won a majority of the contests. The mixer broke up with good feeling on all sides. The girls appreciate the help of Miss Cook in making the mix a success. The English 7 debates this year were unusually interesting, and provided mutual amusement for both participants and spectators. The teams coached by Miss Walton made a clean sweep of the five scheduled debates during the Fall Term. Debates between the two English 7 classes were also held during the Spring Term. The “Bow-Tie Chorus’’ was organized the latter part of January by nine budding vocal scint i 11 ants. Under the capable and valuable instruction of Rudy Ilillstrom, ex-O. A. C. Glee Club star, the bunch was ready to sing in time for the Cantata given by the Girls Glee Club on February 9. They performed very creditably during the course of that entertainment as a special feature, delighting the audience with several renditions of old favorites, as well as more recent num¬ bers. The success the chorus has attained is due entirely to the efforts of Mr. TTillstrom. 50 THE ZE PHY BUS Mid Year Commencement The January class of 1923 held informal commencement exercises on Friday morning, January 26, in the auditorium. It was the larg¬ est mid-year class ever graduated from Astoria High, outnumbering last year’s record by one. Eleven members, presumably educated to a high degree and surfeited with knowledge, were cast from the fold into the cold world—Mr. Strange delivered the parting benediction and the diplomas were presented by Mr. Thad Trullinger. Book Exchange Fall Term Staff The book exchange opened on the first day of school, September 11, 1922. As customary, the exchange was in charge of a committee of Seniors; Manager Don Schultz, Esther Setters, Betty Siddall, Frances Leinenweber and Catherine Franeiscovich. The report for the fall term is as follows: Number of books handled .. 71,5 Number of books on hand ... . 273 Number of books sold ____ 440 Money collected _ ___ $194.67 DISBURSMENTS Paid to Students ......$120.00 Paid to Student Body __ 37 35 At the beginning of the spring term the Commercial Department took over the management of the Book Exchange. Under the super¬ vision of this department and under the active management of Sylvia Pesonen, a new system of keeping the accounts was introduced. This system has proved most successful and has been adopted permanently. THE ZEPHYRrS 51 The report from January 29, 1923 to March 1, 1923 is as follows: Number of books handled .. .705 Number of books on hand .383 Number of books sold . ..322 Money collected ....$197.00 DISBURSEMENTS Paid to students ._. $141.15 Paid to Student Body . 55.85 Total . $197.00 Spring Term Staff MR. EARL TO LEAVE Word was received, late in the year, that the Astoria High School was to lose her much respected principal, Mr. Virgil 1). Earl, who had accepted the position tendered him as the Director of Ath¬ letics at the University of Oregon. We are certainly sorry to have Mr. Earl leave us for he has done much to put the A. II. S. on the map; however, we are equally confident that he is deserving of the higher position and will be a credit to it as he has been to the Astoria High School. We congratulate him upon his promotion, and we unite in wishing him the greatest success that is possible in bis new work. 52 THE ZEPHYRUS A MOTLEY CREW SIR ROGERS ROGUES THE ETERNAL TRIAN U DARWIN WAS RICHT ESTHER-P ANE FLASH HERETmey are GOING GRANOfAF- HE Vv HO, LAUGHS LAST- ) SNT NATURE.

Robison Elizabeth Waara Edwin Ross Astoria won the four district debates by unanimous decisions, and with them the district championship. The question for debate was. Resolved: That the percentage feature of the present immigra¬ tion law should be repealed. The affirmative team, composed of Charles ITael and Tyyne Saari, won unanimously from the Knappa and Rainier negative teams. The negative team also defeated the Sea¬ side and Rainier affirmative teams in a like manner. With the district title in hand, Astoria set out for the state cham¬ pionship. To enter the finals at Eugene three inter-district debates must be won. The Astoria affirmative team defeated Beaverton here 54 THE ZEPHYRUS on April 13th, again winning a unanimous decision. The inter-dis¬ trict question was. Resolved: That the United States should adopt a policy of ship subsidy. With the first obstacle removed, Astoria was looking forward to the second inter-district debate with Brownsville, at the time the Zephyrus went to press. Much of tlie credit for these victories is due to Mrs. Charles W. Robison, who coached the debaters and worked hard and patiently with them. EDITORIALS The school spirit at tin A. II. S. during the past year has been for the most part above criticism. Except for a few low attendance records at some of the basketball games, the students gave excellent support to all of the school’s activities. The general morale of the school seems to be improving. This is a favorable omen and speaks well for the caliber of the Astoria high school students and for the future of the school. Lets CARR5 ON and continue to keep the colors of our school foremost among those of the high schools of the state. Above all the Astoria high school has gained a state-wide reputation for clean sportsmanship, both in scholarship and in athletics. Prin¬ cipal Earl and Coach Nelson have done much to promote bigger and better activities in the school. We unite in hoping that they will re¬ main and continue to aid us in the establishing and maintaining of such ideals. The book exchange is one of the institutions of the Astoria high school which benefits both the student, and the student body. The students are able to sell their old books at from one-half to three- fourths of the original value. 4 his fact also enables them to buy their books at a lower price than is possible at the book stores. The student body receives the commission, charged for conducting the book ex¬ change, to use it as seems fit. THE ZEPHYRUS 55 56 THE ZEPHYRUS Orchestra The orchestra this year was a marked success. The services of Mr. T. P. Haller were secured with a consequent benefit to all concerned. The orchestra officers were: Bessie Siddall, president; Bill Gribler, librarian, and Fie First Violins Siddall, B. Richardson, J. Wicks, E. Russ, F. Elliot, H. ing Russ, secrete Second Violins Ilvonin, A. Pellervo, 0. Josephson, F. Turner, M. Birch, C. Cello Elliot, F. Flute Carruthers, E. Drums Ilaga, S. Piano Elliott, L. Cornet Gribler, W. Schwegler, R Saxophone Fellman, K. THE 7EPHYRUS 57 Hi-Y Club Astoria is fortunate enough t . possess a branch of the nation wide organization of Ili-Y Clubs. The purpose of the organization is to serve both the community and the school, and to promote the high ideals of clean living, clean speech, clean athletics, and the development of Chris¬ tian character in general. The maximum membership of the club has been set at twenty members, and to be a member one must be a leader in some way in the school life. This insures a group of live workers, and also an organization which carries enough weight to ac¬ complish the things which it sets out to do. The club holds its regular meetings on Wednesday evenings. Prior to the fire, dinner meetings were held. Since the fire, due to changes at the Y. M. C. A. it was found necessary to continue with just the business meetings. The officers of the club this year are: President, Algot Wester- gren: Vice-President, Curtis Dyer; Secretary, Edwin Ross; Treasur¬ er, John Vershuren. The advisors for the club are: Mr. Martin Nel¬ son. physical director of the High School, and Mr. Pickett of the Y. M. C. A. THE ZEPHYRUS 58 Ciceronians The Ciceronian Society was organized among the boys of the school to further debating and public speaking in the high school. The organization at first consisted of six charter members, all prom¬ ising material, and soon the membership was increased to twelve. Interest in the Society has risen steadily and it has displayed its talent m the debates in which it has participated, both within the society and with the Deba Drams. The executive personnel are: Edwin Ross, President; Oliver Knoblock, Vice-President; Charles Prael, Secretary; John Vershuren, Treasurer. THE 7EPJIYUUS 59 Deba Drams The Delia Drams were re-organized on the twenty-first of Sep¬ tember. An election of officers for the new year was held and Rena Bonsh was elected president; Florence Brandenburg, vice-president, and Frances Yermeire, secretary-treasurer. A program committee, a dramatic committee and a social committee were also appointed. The girls asked Miss Cook to act as advisor with Miss Taylor. The activities of this organization come under three divisions; namely, debates, dramatics and parties. In addition to the debates of minor importance between the members of the Society, several im¬ portant debates were held with the Ciceronian Society. Tn dramatics, the work consists principally of the production of one or two short plays a term. “The Burglar,” which was given during the Junior Mix was the first appearance the Delia Drams girls have ever made at an evening performance. The cast consisted of Dagny Rudback, Louise Buchanan, Frances Vermeire, Elva Slotte and Elsie Luoto. The play was coached by Miss Cook, and was a pronounced success. Numerous parties were given throughout the year, the annual hike to Saddle Mountain accompanied by the TTi-Y boys being the most salient feature of the year’s program. Initiation parties, weekly meet¬ ings for which short entertaining programs were always provided, and sundry other parties were enjoyed throughout the school year. 60 THE ZEPHYRUS Commercial Club I lie Commercial Club of the Astoria High School was organized during the fall term for the purpose of creating an interest among the commercial students in their work. The club, during the spring term, published a paper, “The Commercial Journal” which contain¬ ed interesting news of the department and informed the business men of the methods and procedure of students in the commercial work.

In the first place, there was more interest in the game and more candidates turned out than for several years. Over forty candidates an¬ swered Coach Martin Nelson’s first call for practice at the beginning of the fall term, and about thirty of these remained faithful throughout the season in their endeavors to learn the secrets of this scientific sport. Our Coach Loach Nelson had only five letter-men at the beginning of the season to form the nucleus around which he had to build his team. These letter-men were Captain Diamond, Curtis Dyer, Arnold Kimin- k b Albert Tucker and Uno Anderson. Added to this five was Rodney Farley, a letter-man from Tillamook. Besides this Astoria had to live up to the record that she had established during the previous year. et there was an abundance of good material, that turned out lor practice, which needed only to be developed to make a winning aggregation. Coach Nelson took this material, taught them the rudi¬ ments of the game, whipped them into shape, and developed one of the best teams in the entire state. The record of this team alone, shows its merits, for out of a total o! six games played against some of the best teams in this part of the Northwest, we won five and lost only one, the one game, being to THE 7EPIIYRUS 63 Vancouver, Wash., which is outside of the Oregon conference. While the team did not run up such large scores as did Corvallis and some of the other teams, yet practically all of our games were won by de¬ cisive scores, and at the same time our opponents were held to very low scores. At no time during the season did any team score more than one touch down on ns, and for the most part, they were held score¬ less. The sum total of points run up by the Purple and Gold was 87, while our opponents were held to 19 points. The squad was really the smoothest playing aggregation which has represented Astoria High School for several years. It played to¬ gether as a unit and at the same time was composed of a number of individual stars. The team play and wonderful fighting spirit of the team carried them through with an excellent record. Besides their victories the Astoria High School, under the leadership of Coach Nelson and Professor Earl, earned the name of putting out clean playing and sportsmanlike teams. Donald Larson, a letterman of the 1921 season who was forced out of the game because of injuries, conducted tin 1 business as manager of the team in a very creditable manner. Edward Kaitera was also put on the injured list early in the sea¬ son. Ed was a two year letter-man and one of the scrappiest ends in the school. The record of the games and points scored was: Astoria 7 ...Tillamook 6 Astoria 26 . .Seaside 0 Astoria 21 ..St. Helens 7 Astoria 21 .Rainier 0 Astoria 0.Vancouver 6 Astoria 12 ...Salem 0 Total points for—87 Total points against—19 Tillamook vs. Astoria Astoria chose a tough opponent in Tillamook for their first game, and incidentally picked a tougher trip for a starter. Our team arrived in the bay city with only four veterans, the rest having little real football experience. After battling evenly and scorelessly the first half, both elevens crossed tin line in the last half; Astoria in the third quarter, and Tillamook in the fourth period. Tillamook failed to kick goal; while THE ZEPHYRUS 64 the extra point which Dyer annexed, by converting the goal, after Astoria’s touchdown, ultimately gave us the close victory. Seaside vs. Astoria The week following the Tillamook struggle our men took on Sea¬ side High. This was a good practice game for us, and it gave Coach Nelson a chance to try out the new men—also the second stringers— and shift them according to their ability. Seaside gave the fellows just the battle they needed to prepare them for their next opponent. The outcome was Seaside 0, Astoria 26. St. Helens vs. Astoria The locals won a hard fought victory when they played the St. Helens’ aggregation, on October 21. After being taken completely off their feet by the up-river lads at the very start of the game, and after the fans had wondered if it were possible that the Purple and Gold was so completely outclassed, Astoria came from behind, and, given impetus by the beautiful broken field running of Kiminki, As¬ toria started a counter attack with such revenge that it didn’t cease until 21 points had been torn from their opponents. The Saints got no more than the seven points they had made at the beginning. It was in this contest that on the tackle-around play, a fellow named “Uno,” and another called “Al,” were made famous. Rainier vs. Astoria On November 4th, our ancient rival Rainier journeyed to Astoria to do combat with us, which by the way, they do annually. Astoria High was out with a solid front that day. Almost the whole student body was packed in the Columbia field grandstand, and verily, the noise which emitted from their united throats, fairly echoed from the mighty hills of Washington. It suffices to say, we managed to keep Rainier from seriously hampering us. Pass after pass was completed by Astori.a We worked our sys¬ tem of passing to perfection that day. Kiminki carried the ball over for every touchdown; two he made after grabbing difficult passes from the air and slipping past the op¬ position, the other he made in the last quarter by smashing through the Rainier tackle. Dyer kicked goal after each touchdown, making it read 21 for Astoria, and 0 for Rainier. TTIE ZEPIIYRUS 65 Vancouver vs. Astoria The 6 to 0 defeat by our old-time opponent, Vancouver, did not effect our standing - , for this season with the Oregon high schools. However, the boys wanted very much to have won this game. They arrived in Vancouver too late to work-out or warm-up, but bad to commence playing as soon as they had donned their suits. Astoria managed to bold her own during the greater part of the game, and several times it looked as though she was going to put it over for a touchdown. Just when it seemed that it would turn out to be a scoreless tie. in the last few minutes of play Vancouver suddenly pulled a long end run from the 40 yard line and succeeded in rushing the ball to the 4 yard line before being stopped. On the next play they bucked it over the line. However, they failed to kick goal. Salem vs. Astoria Our last and best game was played here on Thanksgiving day. The Purple and Gold were in top form that day and played with such power and strength, despite the steady downpour of cold rain, that the husky boys from the capitol city were simply unable to resist them. Salem High, coached by Hollis Huntington, came to Astoria with a single defeat registered against them. That was by Corvallis, only by a score of 3 to 0. Corvallis later represented the west against Scott High from the east in an intersectional contest New Years day. Astoria scored two touchdowns against Salem, using straight line bucks and end runs. We were unable to kick goal on account of tin 1 slipperiness of the ball. About the Players Captain Diamond played a stellar brand of ball at right end and center. This was Ted’s first year at end, but he had played three years at center previously and was recognized as one of the best high school centers in the state. Tod will be missed from the team when it lines up next year. Captain-elect Ostrom played his first year on the team at left half. Arvi was our midget player weighing only 125 pounds, but he surely dazzled everyone’s eyes with his speed. He will be back to run the team next year. Kiminki, Astoria’s starring right half, played excellent ball the en¬ tire season. He was everywhere lie was needed, at the right time, and 66 THE Z EPHYRUS was sure death at nabbing ' forward passes. Arne is another who graduates this year. Dyer is another Senior. The brainy work of this little giant at quarter back was the cause of more than one victory. A. H. S. loses a big fighter in a little body when “Curt” leaves us. Anderson. “Tiny Uno,” is one of Astoria’s giant tackles. lie certainly opened big holes in the opposing line and could! also carry the ball for consistent yardage. Uno was a hard, clean fighter and was one of those who possess what is known as “football brains.” Uno leaves us this year. Tucker is that monstrous, bearcat tackle, who made such a won¬ derful record for himself by his savage playing. He and Uno were a pair of tackles who couldn’t be beaten on any high school team. We hate to lose Al, but we will follow carefully, the record he will make when he joins his brother George at Pacific University. Emmet Tucker was a find at end last season. Playing his first year for the school, Emmet made an enviable name for himself. It was certain death for any opposing player, carrying the ball, to try to circle his end. He will be back again next year. Farley, the big guard who came to us from Tillamook, carried the goods for sure. He could open up a hole in a stone wall and was a very rock of Gibraltar on the defence. Rodney left us in February to our dismay and sorrow. Schultz is a fellow who makes us wonder how he managed to hide himself from us so long. He came out for practice in this, his senior year, and made the team right off the bat. What’s more he played bang up ball the entire season. We’ll miss Don next year. Behnke started the season on the second squad, but he showed up so well that he was shifted to the full back position on the first team and made good from the start. Behnke still has two years of good football left in bis system yet. Brown was the fighting Irishman who held down the center posi¬ tion part of the time. “Browny” will be a valuable aid next year also. Christie was the other man who played, center during the season. ( hnstie also won his advancement from the second team, and held his own with the best of them. He also is a departing Senior. Wahl is the scrappy end, who could be relied upon at all times to put up a good fight against any player, Ken will be back again next year. THE EPHYRUS 67 George Anderson was the utility half and quarterback on the regular lineup. 11 is best game was against Salem on Thanksgiving day. George will be back also next year. Claude Ilolthe was another man who won his advancement from the second team on his merits. lie played tackle and guard and will be back next year. The Second Team Second Stringers This year the policy of second team football was adopted on a larger scale than ever before. Under the tutelage of Coach Newton Stralil about sixteen fellows finished their first year of football, with the second squad. The team played the smaller high schools of the district and put up a good fight against all of them. A great deal of credit certainly belongs to Coach Newton Stralil for the way m which he shaped the green material which he had to work with at the beginning of the season into a smooth playing football team. The scrubs also deserve credit for turning out regularly to be mopped up by the first team men. The players who composed tlit second team were: Arthur Ystad, Ford Knutsen, Harold Carlson, Clyde Carlson, Bud Driscoll, Kino Puusti, Bjarne Erickson, Swen Maki, Dave Sandstrom, Elmore Han¬ sen, Ghesley Smith, Charles Larson, George Andrieh, Alfred Jensen, William McGregor, Merwin Raines and Ward Cook. The team played six games. They lost five close games; to Clatskanie 7 to 3, South Bend 13 to 6, Seaside 6 to 0, Clatskanie 3 to 0. In the last game of the season they played a very creditable 0 to 0 tie with South Bend on the local field. 68 THE Z EPHYRUS Basketball The 1922-23 basketball season will be long remembered by the Astoria High School as the most successful season in years, with but one disappointment and that the losing of the state championship. Practice started tins year immediately following the Christmas vacation and a large number of candidates turned out. Coach Nel¬ son soon weeded these aspirants down to (Captain) Kiminki, Diamond, Anderson, E. Carlson, Dahl, Christie and Larson. Because of pres¬ sure of his outside work Larson was forced to quit. The other six men composed the first squad at the beginning of the season. The remain¬ ing candidates were turned over to Assistant Coach Ntrahl for de¬ velopment for the second team. The prospects at that time were very bright indeed. The return of Westergren, Astoria s all-state forward, gave us five experienced veterans of last year’s starring quintet, namely: Kiminki, Wester¬ gren, Diamond, Anderson and Carlson. Carlson fractured his collar¬ bone in the Seaside game and was lost to the team for the rest of the season. Fellman, the manager of the team, also took his turn at for¬ ward. Wald, a member of the second squad, showed up so well that he was given a chance on the first team in the St. Helens’ game. He made good from the start and became a regular for the rest of the sea¬ son. Dyer, Aase, C. Carlson, Clay and Ordway also played at differ¬ ent stages during the season with the first team. Coach Nelson held regular practices on every Monday, Wednes¬ day and Friday afternoons, which kept the players in condition and at the same time took no chances of them going stale. The team developed a well rounded, smashing, offensive and also a five man checking system which kept their opponents from making many counters. The team also played a consistent brand of ball as their record of consecu¬ tive wins for the season shows. During the season the team won 12 consecutive games, in the district and tournament play-offs, only to lose their 13th game in the finals of the state tournament to the University High School quintet of Eugene. In the district play-off the A. II. S. played every team between Seaside and St. Helens, with the single exception of Rainier, who would not give us a game. For ten straight games the team battled with never a loss, and after striking their stride in the third game rolled up decisive scores in each instance. The squad played together like a well-oiled machine, and practically steamrollered their way T1IE Z EPIIYRUS 69 George Anderson Guard Arm Riminki Fofward Capt. Ted.

When the time came for the state play-off there was only one team which could under any circumstances stand a chance to repre¬ sent the district. Astoria was the only undefeated team in the dis¬ trict and consequently was in line for the tournament. Rainier for a time contested the locals’ claim, but as they had nothing with which to substantiate their claim, the locals were chosen by the state board to represent district 9 in the state play-off at Salem. But this was only decided Tuesday evening and the team was scheduled to go Wednesday if it went at all. There was some tall hustling before the team was sent off Wednesday morning, following a big ovation in assembly. The fighting Astorians started from the burned area about eleven o’clock A. M., and arrived in Salem about 10 o’clock P. M. after one of the most eventful trips in the history of the world. The trip included one puncture, one blowout, the pur¬ chasing of one new tire (price $33.00), eating dinner in Rainier, be¬ ing unavoidably delayed for speeding in St. llelens( more delay and $42.60 fine including costs). If that isn ' t enough of the trip ask the team for the rest. Salem, though, more than made up for the bad trip by their kind hospitality. The boys were put up at the Kappa Gamma Rho frater¬ nity house of Willamette University, and were shown every courtesy imaginable. The locals cannot say too much of the Willamette boys’ treatment and it was certainly appreciated. Next conies the tournament itself. In the drawings Astoria drew Medford which was supposed to be in line for the state championship. Astoria played the first game Friday afternoon and the history of this breath-taking contest will be related in the accounts of the games, as will the other contests. Astoria having passed through the pre¬ liminaries in the next drawing picked on Myrtle Point, who had a team of six footers. The scrapping Astorians surmounted the big boys in the semi-finals to the tune of 30 to 22. This placed Astoria in the finals and they were destined to play the University High School team, of Eugene, the conquerors of Salem in the semi-finals. This game will never-be-forgotten by Astoria High School students who were lucky enough to see it. It was a game fight on the part of both teams, each seeing the championship ahead and neither giving an inch in the battle. It was a battle royal with Astoria staging a comeback, that won her the support of the Salem THE ZEPHYRUS 71 fans, and holding a slight lead throughout the game only to lose out through the workings of fate in the last minute or two of play. Although we lost 25 to 28, yet it was not from lack of trying. Every one of the Astoria players fought through those last few minutes on sheer grit and nerve, for they were all in from bad colds. But did they give up? They did not. And are we proud of them? I ' ll say we are. There were some thirty A. 11. S. rooters, who journeyed to Salem to back up the team and to let everyone know they were there. The support aided the team more than words can express. That, along with the splendid support voiced in the seventeen telegrams which were re¬ ceived aided greatly in placing the team so far as they went. During the season the purple and gold machine scored -112 points against their opponents 188, which is approximately 2 1-5 times as many. Of this total Westergren made 159, Kiminki 104, Anderson 69, Diamond 42, Wahl 10, Dahl 6, Carlson 4,and Christie 2. Mis¬ cellaneous 16 points. Of this number 183 were field baskets, and 46 fouls. For 13 games the team scored as an average approximately 31 points. The Schedule Astoria opened the season at home against Ilwaco and won after a good scare by the close score of 17 to 16. Next game, Astoria at Seaside. This was the lowest scored game of the season, being only 7 to 4 in favor of the A. II. S. Again at home we tackled Clatskanie, and the squad striking its stride won 22 to 12. This time we played Seaside at home and walked over them com¬ pletely to the tune of 36 to 12. The team is going great guns now. The team set out up the river to battle St. Helens. But there wasn’t much of a battle, as we won 53 to 15. The up-river climate seemed to agree with the boys. Astoria was next invaded by the Dayton team from the Willamette valley. The steam-roller was working to perfection and we won 51 to 14. Nuff said. Then being in a kindly mood the purple and gold stars journeyed to Knappa-Svensen and let the Knappa boys off easy, only 33 to 9 in our favor. THE ZEPHYRUS 72 St. Helens decided that they wanted another dose of our medicine so they invaded Astoria and were turned away by the score of 36 to 6. Astoria again entertained and this time they were the hosts to Knappa-Svensen. The boys were getting on edge with the state tourna¬ ment in view, and so they piled up a score of 49 to 10. There was yet a return game to he played with Ilwaco so we sail¬ ed over and returned with the bacon and a 19 to 10 score. But the boys also came back with bad colds which hindered them later in the tournament. This ended the district contests and paved the way to the state tournament. Following is a brief sketch of the tournament games. As has been already stated we engaged the strong Medford team in our first game of the tournament on Friday afternoon. Medford was coached by Durno, the ex-Oregon star and in the judgment of many critics they had the best offensive of any of the teams seen there in action. Which all speaks well for the Astoria defense and fight. Medford led the first half, which ended with them on the long end of a 15 to 13 score. With the famous old come-back, Astoria tied the score and led in the second half until the last minute, when Medford tied the score. The second half ended 28 to 28 and it was necessary to play a five minute overtime period. Westergren found his shooting eye in this period and made the only six points made by either team. Final score, Astoria 34, Medford 28. Next comes the thriller—Astoria vs. University high for the cham¬ pionship of the State of Oregon. University started with a rush and piled up a fair lead right off the bat. But Astoria gamely came back and led at half-time 15 to 13. The boys were playing with everything they had in them. They were game clear through. Astoria also led during most of the second half and at one time by a six point lead. But due to the colds the condition of the locals gave way and they were compelled to fight merely on their nerve. The University players were uncanny in their accuracy on long shots and after tieing the score they converted a foul. A University guard dropped in a hmg basket from deep center, putting them 3 points ahead. Astoria desperately tried to overcome the lead, but it was destined otherwise it seems, for the locals’ shots would roll around the rim and roll off again. They would not go in. University had a good team and won 28 to 25, but only after a battle they will long remember. THE ZEP1IYRUS 73 Astoria was awarded one man on the all-state first team, and two on the second team. Diamond also played the most spectacular ball of his career in Salem.

Mann, Dalles, Forward Kiminki, Astoria, Forward Okerberger, Salem, Center Patterson, Salem, Board Anderson, Astoria, Board Second Team Second team basketball was adopted this year much along the same lines as it was in football. Mr. Newton St raid took charge of the second stringers and whipped them into shape. Much interest was taken by the boys in this sport; and Coach Strahl had a large squad to handle. Barnes were played with the War rent-on high school, the Seaside second team and other independent teams of Astoria. Our Coach Astoria is certainly fortunate to have such a man as Martin Nel¬ son to coach its athletic teams. He is respected and revered by every student in the school, for his good clean fellowship and sportsmanship. Besides that his coaching record is unequaled in the history of the school, with excellent teams in football, basketball and baseball. We hope that Mr. Nelson will long he with ns. 74 TTIE ZEPHYRUS Baseball Baseball was taken up this spring with the same enthusiasm which has characterized the turn-outs of the seasons past. Last year a late start and lack of opposition prevented baseball from being carried out on a large scale, but a revival of interest in the national pastime seems to be in progress here. Enough boys turned out to form two teams, and at the time of this publication, games were scheduled with War- renton and Seaside high schools, and there were tentative arrangements lor games with Westport and Knappa. Astoria defeated Warrenton the first game of the season, lb to 5. the following players are fighting it out for their respective posi¬ tions: Catchers—Behnke, Sandstrom, Ystad, Ilansen; pitchers— Dia¬ mond, Aase, Jensen, G. Anderson; 1st base—Diamond, Aase; 2nd base -Rassmussen, Hannula, B. Erickson; 3rd base—Tucker, Mackey; shortstop—Ostrom, V. Stewart ; outfielders—Wahl, Foster, Indergaard, Kearney. Track The Astoria high school ventured forth in a new field of athletics this year, when track was taken up. As it had been several years since a track team lias represented the purple and gold, the interest was a trifle lacking of what it should have been. Only a few candidates turned out at the start of the season, but the number gradually in¬ creased as the time set for the meet approached. When the Zephyrus went to press, the plans for the first Clatsop County track meet were being completed. The meet was sponsored by the Astoria high school and was a probable forerunner to a large meet to be held in this section yearly with track being adopted on a large scale. Astoria is extremely fortunate in having such a man as Martin Nelson, ex-U. of 0. track star, and the holder of several records in the 220, to coach the first team. He is ably assisted by Mr. Strahl, who has also had some experience in this line. The prospects of a ' win¬ ning team were bright indeed.

Though a play of the more difficult sort, “Officer 666” was pro¬ duced successfully, as was proved by the record attendance on the night of the performance and by the many compliments received by the players and the director. Miss Beatrice Walton coached the play, as she did last year, and to her goes much of the credit for its success. Officer 666 is the story of how Travers Gladwin, a bored young millionaire, travelled the world over looking for a thrill, and finally found it in his own apartment in New York. The famous Gladwin collection of paintings furnishes an excuse for the, presence of an im¬ postor, who nearly succeeds in getting the pictures as well as Helen Burton, the only girl that the real Travers Gladwin had ever wanted to marry. The quandary that Officer 666, a typical Irish policeman, his fel¬ low-officers, and Helen are thrown into by the presence of two different men who each claim to be Travers Gladwin, and the final understand¬ ing result in an interesting play full of humorous incidents, quick ac¬ tion, tense moments and interesting characters. Faculty Play TVe were again privileged to see our respectful faculty perform, on the evening of January 27, in a three-act comedy entitled, “All- of-a-Sudden-Peggy,” by Ernest Denny. Eleven members of the As¬ toria High School faculty, under the direction of Mr. William B. Ivemp- thorne, partook in this play and became famous over night. Many and varied surprises passed in review before our eyes. Much to our surprise we saw our hero, Martin Nelson, propose to Miss Walton, the stunning heroine. Mr. Emmel surprised us all by his ex¬ tensive knowledge of love affairs, and finally ended up by proposing to Mass Wootton. Mr. Emmel also made rapid strides towards forth • ■ring the present scientific knowledge of spiders. We learned that Mks Allen could act as well as she could give the girls exercises, and also that Miss Davis would make a striking success as her ladyship. Mr. 81raid is assured a position as a footman any time that lie tires of teaching school. My, wasn’t he dignified, tho! Miss Cook stepped out m a new line and became the town gossip for the evening.

Some three hundred dollars were realized from the performance and this money was turned into the senior scholarship fund, which is used each year to aid some strug¬ gling seniors in their endeavors to obtain a higher education. The money is to be divided into two equal scholarships and is to he given to two seniors, one a boy and another a girl, who have proven their worthi¬ ness through a high scholarship record, and also through participation in student activities. The Junior Hi Jinx This annual event proved a great success both financially and socially. The high school orchestra made its first appearance under the direction of Mr. Haller, and gave several delightful numbers. The Elliot trio, three talented high school girls, gave a violin, cello and piano solo. One number was a pantomine given by members of the Junior class, that caused great merriment. The pantomine was un¬ der tin 1 direction of Miss Martha Davis. Cecil Matson cleverly played the part of the hero, while Wenona Wheeler was charming as the heroine. Much to our delight, Mortimer Brown played the part of the tragic villain, while Eleanor Marvin proved to he a typical moth¬ er. The Deba Drams gave a one-act play, “The Burglar,” which was one of the distinct successes of the evening. The play was coached by Miss Marguerite Cook, to whom much credit is due. Last on the interesting program, a garden scene was presented in which eight old-fashioned maids and men danced, and sang two de¬ lightful selections. The success of Ibis artistic number is accredited to the work of Miss Florence Sherman. Helene Parris and her pupils gave several dancing numbers, and Anne Uvonen and Trja Jarvin danced a quaint old dance, “Pierre and Pierrette. Junior Prom The Juniors held the annual Prom in the gym on May, tin fourth. The hall was decorated as a Japanese garden. The long garlands of wisteria tastefully arranged, the bright colored Japanese umbrellas, the glowing Japanese lanterns and the little Japanese girls who served refreshments carried out the scheme very well. Excellent music was supplied by the Cobban’s orchestra. The Prom was an unusual success and much credit is given to Miss Taylor, the Junior adviser, and to the committee, which consisted of Mervyn Benke, chairman; Charles Smith, Florence Brandenburg, Wenona Wheeler and Fielding Buss. 78 THE EPHYRUS The Girls ' Glee Club The Girls’ Glee club reorganized October 29, 1922, under the super¬ vision of Mrs. A. C. Strange, and elected Louise Buchanan as presi¬ dent, and -Jane Sanborn as secretary. Miss Sanborn later found it necessary to resign and Frances Vemieire was elected in her place. The Girls’ Glee club made their first public appearance, February the Ninth, and gave a very pleasing programme, consisting of choruses and a cantata. The following evening, under the auspices of the Ki- wanis club, they repeated their program in Seaside. The first part of the evening was devoted to choruses given in parts by the entire club and in groups of from nine to sixteen girls. A pleasant surprise was rendered when nine of the boys, under the direction of Rudy llill- strom, gave four numbers. During the last part of the programme, the chorus gave the difficult cantata, “Fays of the Floating Island,” by Paul Bliss. The Friday Musical club acted as patronesses. Mrs. ( ' . A. Reed and Betty Iliggins were the accompanists. Miss Gretchen Taylor acted as business manager, while Mervyn Behnke assisted her. 1 lie orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Ilaller, was also present both evenings. I he b east ol the Little Lanterns, a Chinese operetta, was also given by selected members of the Girls’ Glee club. The plot is centered around a young heiress, who will lose her fortune if her sister is not found. Helen Wirkala acted as accompanist, and Miss Gretchen Tay¬ lor again tilled the place of business manager. The east was: Prin¬ cess Chan, Wenona Wheeler; On Long, the governess, Elva Slotte- Wee Ling, the maid, Aune Ilvonen; Alai Ku, the sister and juggler, Esther Setters.
