A group of students, stirred by the ambition to do and dare, asked for permission to embark upon a long sea voy- age. The main object of this undertaking would be for this group to go as an independent unit on a long journey, while each member sought his individual fortune in the various places visited. The proposition, when carried before the noted shipping magnate. H. B. Johnson, met with his approval. He consented to draw up his plans and specifi¬ cations for the vessel, one whose handling would require a crew of at least fifteen. The enterprisers numbered more than the required figure so the plans were accepted and preparations immediately begun to build the ship. (All work was to be done by the crew.) First of all the officers were chosen. To pick the skipper from among such an able assemblage of navigators was indeed a task. However, “Sheenie Spongberg was given the command with Cliff Flake for first mate. The ship ' s secretary (a new piece of equipment to the old salts) was chosen to care for the correspondence and records while the building was in progress. Of course the captain had to take her along on the voyage when the time of departure came. He said it was necessary on such an important venture to have one person entirely responsible for entries in the log. Some old tars were a bit dubious and whispered that they thought maybe she was the captain’s wife. Any way “Goodie ' Olsen put her nose up in the air and climbed aboard. The financing of such a momentous undertaking was necessarily placed in the hands of an experienced financier. Snow, being famous throughout the world for his coolness on all occasions, was chosen for the task. The ship s title of the financier was “steward,’’ and to keep tab on him and the rest of the crew a ship’s police was necessary. John Clay, former sheriff of Muddy River, Oregon, got the job (probably by means of “dirty’’ politics). Then came the actual building of the ship with the Misses Allen and Poysky Shipbuilding Co., Inc., directing. The first six months of construction went through without a kink in the rope. During this time the now famous adventure seekers were photographed for the “shipping journal, Zephyrus. The crew of the ship “June ’26 paid the expenses of the advertising and were heartily thanked by the would-be wanderers. After a vacation during the summer months the crew reassembled all “pep¬ ped up ' and ready to put finishing touches on the craft. The hull was now finished, so the Wootton-Von Berg Co., ship-outfitters, took charge of the re¬ maining preparations. The employment of such expert directors and the con¬ sequent high salaries necessitated the raising of large sums of money and several different schemes for doing so were successfully carried out. Shortly before the time for embarking arrived the “sailors blossomed out with the orange and white ship’s insignia on their uniforms and they certainly presented a natty appearance. Flake’s sudden withdrawal necessitated the appointment of a new “mate and “Buttermilk Wicks” was unanimously chosen by voice of the tars. Page Nine ml? TH E-ZEPHYR US NINETEEN-TWENTY-SIX About this time the women of the crew began to grow more and more use¬ less. They spent all of their time “rigging up wardrobes. The prospect of soon being independent fortune hunters served to put an excess of spirit into the adventurers for the occasion of the send-off, and the launching of the ship, which followed immediately after the “shipping board ' s” examination of the vessel. Then came the final moment of departure on January 22, 1926. The ship s papers were presented and the crew boarded the vessel still laying in the yards but completely provisioned. The ceremony of christening the ship Janus No. 1 was finished simultaneously with the cutting of the lines which bound the ship in its place. The bark slid down the ways, struck the water with a splash and was taken charge of by tugs which conducted the perfect ship to sea. Sails were hoisted amidst the shouting of commands by Capt. Spongberg. Then with banners flying and in all its glory, the wonderful ship sailed out of sight in the approaching night. Entries in the log give us a fairly complete and “accurate’ record of the voyagers’ fortunes. Einard Maenpaa left the ship at Hong Kong and planned to become a cartoonist for a Chinese socialistic journal. Eino Isaacson and Hattie Nyman had ambitions which caused them to form a partnership and establish a dancing academy at Vladivostok. Olga Stenvaag quelled the revolutionary spirit in Mexico forever. Winifred Wing was responsible for the acceptance of modern physical culture by the Figii Islanders. Love for dramatics was not lost; Hilma Tark. Bertel Matson, Irja Jarvin and John Clay formed a company to tour Thibet and present Hamlet. Arthur Green established a “lute-fisk foundary at Stavanger, Norway. Harold Whng returned to his old home at Skamokawa and saved the forests for the humming birds. When Virginia Jones hung out her shingle it read “Prof. Jones, Instructor in the Arts of Self Defense.” Tom found a means for France to pay her war debt without money. Sven Eliassen and Charles Barr got rich charging salmon five cents each for admission to the Columbia River. Lauri Pernu realized his ambition when he became editor of the Toveri. Gudrun Olsen was elected president of the Maidive Islands and Eugene Spongberg became her private secretary. Esther Wicks became famous for her Buttermilk Cure for indiqestion. Arvi Lopakka found a pirate treasure and became a “private” on Wall Street. Static was outlawed in a measure passed by Congress throuqh the influence of Lula Elliott. Fannie Hauru and Frances Josephson scaled Mr. Everest and reported the climate to be “almost tropical. Hilda Uotila was the only one who married and she caught a multi- million- aire and spends his money helping grasshoppers gain a college education. Aino Pellervo opened a soft drink parlor on the highway between Mars and the Earth. Harold Snow spent his time making hydrogen sulphide for use in the manufacture of “Egyption Perfume.” Page Ten THE-ZEPHYRUS NINETEEN -TWENTY-SIX y - Try .

Page Fifteen TH E-ZEPHYR US NINETEEN-TWENTY-SIX V-V ; ' TZ RANKS RKKD MISS WOOTTON GOODALE GREEN JARVINEN MISS VON BERG History of June Class of 26 On September 1 3, 1922, the ship ‘‘Junius set sail on a rough and stormy sea. After the usual amount of confusion in embarking a ship for a long but not tiresome journey, all were found to be a board. During the first year of our journey, we were not organized for it was not thought necessary in those days, but the members of the class showed interest and marked ability in all school activities. Although the first year had been a happy one, all passengers were glad to reach Port Sophomore for we knew that we would no longer have to endure the treatment due “green” Freshmen. This year was probably the roughest of all, so we were glad when it came to an end. At this point in our journey the passengers aboard the “Junius” thought it would be well to elect some able men and women as captain, pilots, and other officers. Virginia Jones was wisely elected captain, and Louis Raymond. Arthur Green, and Charles Barr were chosen as other important officers. Two very able pilots were obtained, namely Miss Cooper and Mr. Likes. The ship was now supplied with the best possible officers so they set sail for their next goal the Junior Port.” In the cold and breezy month of November all enjoyed a party. A little Page Sixteen THE-ZEPHYRUS vNINETEEN-TWENTY-SIX WE later we had a masquerade which further proved the ability of the “Junius passengers to put things over big. Late in the fall the girls upheld their ability of leadership by winning the girls volleyball trophy, and by their active part in baseball. In February it was necessary to elect new officers for all the others had advanced to be Juniors. The results of the election found a girl at the helm of the boat again. This time it was Beverly Cronin, who furthered the reputation of girls as captains, which had been established by the previous captain. Herbert Palmberg, Sigurd Haga, and Marjorie Chester served as mates. The ship sailed on, and in March the first Matinee Dance of the year was given for the benefit of the Zephyrus. Thus the members showed interest for all phases of activities. Th en the Junior Port was reached and all passengers were glad to have a short rest before beginning the next part of the journey. Because of the pleasures and joys that the coming year would afford, all passengers were willing to start out again when that time came; and because of the experience of the crew as Sophomores, they were entirely capable of performing the duties which were conferred upon them as Juniors. With the able captain, Thomas Nelson, and the other officers, Arthur Green. Laura Lonberg, and Virginia Jones, and the pilots, Miss Wootton and Mr. Kimzey, the “Junius’’ again set sail with the enthusiasm which was characteristic of all aboard that ship. The weather was fair and sailing was smooth throughout the whole year. In October the class party attracted most of its members, all of whom enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The Junior class displayed their initiative again by being the first Junior class on the ship “Junius t° stage a play. Preceding the play the Juniors wore “17’s. ' ' the memory of which en¬ courages them on to greater achievements. All on board knows of the ability of those who took part in “Seventeen and all remember an evening, or two (for the play had to be given two nights) of real enjoyment. The play was also a financial success helping greatly in financing the Junior Prom. Previous to that great event, a Matinee Dance was given which went over big like all undertakings of the class. In May the whole school welcomed the eventful Junior Prom which proved to he the greatest of its kind in history. When “Senior Harbor’’ was reached all felt that the past year had been an un¬ usually happy and successful one. The guidance and aid of Miss Wootton and Mr. Kimzey was greatly appreciated. At the last port of the trip from Junior Port to Senior Harbor all students were saying to each other. “Just think, when we start out again, well be Seniors!’’ And so we were, dignified, serious Seniors! When the time came to embark everyone was anxious to obtain a seat in Room 14, but decided that such a trivial affair was not going to mar the joy of the great, grand, longed Page Seventeen TH E-ZEPHYR US feyNINETEEN-TWENTY-SIX _: - V- _V X i_- ' i_x __ for Senior year. We had at last reached the position of honorable Seniors and were glad to accept the high standing we had earned. In setting out this time, the passengers elected Merwyn Ranes to take the position at the helm, and John Reed .June Goodale, Arthur Green and John Jarvinen as mates. Miss Wootton was unanimously chosen as pilot again be¬ cause of her kindness and help the previous year. Miss Von Berg was chosen as her assistant. With this crew ‘Junius was glad to set sail on the last stretch of the journey, which proved to be most successful. This year the Senior Party was in the form of a plain clothes party. The entertainment committee planned an evening of new features and real fun and everyone pronounced the party a success. Next came the “Supreme Social Smash of the Season which occurred on December 23. All the students were free from worries about studies until the next year so everyone was prepared for a good time. The gymnasium was cleverly decorated to represent a winter garden having a sky of dark blue streamers with stars shining through and having beautifully decorated Christmas trees in the garden. Many alumni, as well as students, enjoyed the “Supreme Social Smash of the Season,” which was in every way true to its name. And still the ship sailed on. Members took part in athletics as well as in Astor Post and Zephyrus work. The night of the Hi-Jinks found the Seniors taking an active part in presenting and supporting. The Senior Banquet and the Senior Picnic were other successful events in the crowning year of the passen¬ gers aboard the “Junius.” Thus “Junius” came to the end of its journey in May, 1926. In some cases the weather had been a little stormy but our ship always came out victorious and all the better for the experiences. Besides, the good weather and fair sailing was far more predominant. The passengers feel grateful to all those who aided and guided it on its way. It was rather a sad occasion when the passengers disembarked. Through a journey of four long years they had fought and struggled side by side: they had encouraged each other: and they had enjoyed the victories and pleasures of life together. Now they were to part, each one probably taking a different route into different parts of the world to perform the duties he or she had been called to do. And behind we had to leave our dear old seaport. Astoria High. Page Eighteen THE-ZEPHYRUS g NINETEE N-TWENTY-SIX - 7 ' v ' .

How time does fly! Memories of the glorious class of 26 are still fresh upon my mind. Communication with all of them is a simple matter today, thanks to science, but I longed to see those familiar faces again so I decided to spend my vacation touring the world. In this age of electricity traveling is a pleasure. Our individual planes are very convenient but the regular passenger planes are more comfortable, and by the way, the Electroplane traveling from Earth to Mars and hence to Venus is the invention of our illustrious friend, Waino Niemi, who is remembered as once having made a profound study of electricity in the Likes laboratory and has harnessed the electricity in the air to run his plane. He has extended a private invitation to Grandpa Likes, to whom he is greatly indebted, to spend his retiring days in the plane, leading an aerial and uplifting existence. Professor Edwin Carlson and Professor Alfred Makinen also of Physics class fame, through their scientific researches, have established a huge plant where they manufacture among other things synthetic flowers by the use of the sun’s rays. Professor Makinen otherwise “Slim,” our noted basketball idol, has succumbed to the charms of Signe Olsen, woman governor of Florida, and is now a sincere advocator of “Say it with Flowers. My first stops were in Europe, where I knew a great number of my class¬ mates lived. I found Laura Lonberg ‘‘Miss Baby-Talk Lady doing the high¬ land fling among the London brokers. She is one of the chief figures of the Stock Exchange. Her hair has been repermanented many times since she left our class and cast forth her sails on life s tempestous sea, but her gentle air of “take it or leave it,” and her mild coquettry will always remain the same. Lyle Stilwell has by some peculiar circumstance migrated to that same city of London and has obtained high hopes of becoming an editor of the “News Sense Daily. He still sports a ‘‘classy pipe and steps out with the girls but what a pity he is a bachelor yet. (By some mysterious influence he frequents the London Stock Exchange.) Lyle informed me that Harold Hoff was making his home in the foggy city also, but at present was on an Arctic Expedition which he had organized with the help of his partner June Goodale, who is now famous for her Good-ale All Year Round Pancakes. Marshall Leathers, also one of the crew, was sadly out of his mind after he found that the party was not a company for establishing an orphan ' s home for poor little fishes but he is now consoled by the hopes of meeting Santa Claus at his winter home and influencing him to put something extra in his stocking next Christmas. I next met Merwyn Ranes, our honorable redhaired, freckle-faced, romantic class President, who is director of the ‘‘Mile a Minute Movie” company in Siberia. His hair-raising acts are patronized by all the bald-headed men the world over. Martha Sarpola, after finding her ability to sing was not appreci¬ ated by the public, has signed to do “Slap Stick” comedies for director Ranes. Speaking of acting reminds me that next week a special feature will be given at the Vanity Fair” Theatre. William Juola known as Pierre the Comedian” will do the Suomen Polka” in the Finnish farce entitled Puma.” While speaking to Pierre about his coming act he mentioned the fact that a few days ago Arthur Smith, our worthy Pesky” and now a noted violinist, plaved at Page Thirty-six m Th E-ZEPHYR US v yNINETEEN-TWENTY-SlX this Theatre and so thrilled the audience that it went into hysterics, so he never found out how his last song ended. That same evening Loris Stevens sang, “Sleep When You Can’’ so sweetly that the audience might have slept a hundred years if his ever thoughtful manager and wife Myrtle Ingbritsen had not begun to play “Sousa’s War March’’ in despair. The couple travel about and I decided to leave Russia with them since I heard they were going to Hun¬ gary which was also my next stop. In a few hours we dropped into Hungary and found our way to the “Eat More Cafe’’ which is owned and run by Frank Hoagland. Bonnie Pearson, who loves variety and good eats, is the head waitress, her motto is “eat and grow thin. Lois Clay, she told me, was living with her at present and was running a hairdressing parlor, making water-waving and scalp treatment for bald-headed women, a specialty. I next went to the home of Aileen Utti, who has taken up the study of the ant within Genus Strongylognathus and advocates the abolishment of slavery among the Amazon ants. She declares it is a scientific necessity. I asked her where her friend Esther Malinen was, and she said with tears in her eyes that she had tried to persuade her to make her home in Vienna with her, but she insisted on running an open air market in Helsing¬ fors where she sells canned tomatoes for fresh fruit. I left Vienna for Italy, where Martha Lauru and Inez Sorenson are getting along very nicely with the simple country folk there, having memorized the “Commentaries of Caesar.’’ The two expounders of Latin both hold the same position of prison magistrate since it is said two heads are better than one. I was curious to know of the whereabouts of John Reed so I wired to Merwyn Ranes. He directed me to go to Palestine, where I should find him manufacturing salt from the Dead Sea. Arriving there during working hours, I perceived that it certainly was a profitable business, run on the principles of economics which he and the rest of us failed to see through. John has made the personal acquaintance of the Shah of Persia, whose favorite wife I was surprised to hear was Helmi Hellerstedt. She is very valuable to him because of her knowledge of bookkeeping and arithmetic. Acting as his private secreta¬ ry, she is kept figuring out the exact day of his next date with one of his two hundred and forty wives. I knew I would meet many of my friends in Africa, so I went to that dark continent, which is now an important country, due to the fact that the climate has become temperate. Chris Paetow worked for a time on the great railroad, Cape-to-Cairo route which was recently constructed but he is now running an ostrich farm in southern Africa. He thinks the creatures are more amiable than some human beings are. Fontella Kelim and Marjorie Larson are the obstrepe¬ rous yell leaders among the Koola Fool natives of Africa. Here too Dagmar Kauppi has organized a “Socialists Labor Party, whose aim is Take all you make, and more,” and Frieda Aase has developed into a delightful society matron decidedly aristocratic, who views the socialistic movement with horror. The girls told me that Arthur Satre owns a tea (not a flea) plantation in India. His wife being one of these “will you stay for tea? kind keeps him continually in the storehouse so he has established private quarters there and spends his leisure hours playing solitaire. South America, the promised land, was my next stop. I was given an introductory letter from the President of Hungary which woud enable me to Page Thirty-seven m THE-ZEPHYRUS NINETEEN-TWENTY-SIX ?Sr- v-S-Sr-. T-YY-T ' enter the court of Brazil. The palace gates were guarded by native Tank Yanks of the neighboring hills who were not interested in any civilized langu¬ age I could express myself in. Calling frantically in Portuguese I attracted the attention of a reasonable looking being and after gesticulating for half an hour we came to an understanding and I was admitted. Wandering through the halls and palace chambers with escorts at my sides I came upon a banquet scene. I immediately observed that Stanley Thorburn was the “rough and ready” host. He explained to me that it was a banquet in honor of John Halderman, the political genius. Stanley had succeeded Bull Montana in the movies but he thought politics would be more profitable than acting. However, it seems, they have so little camp aign money they can’t start a scandal. Our most honorable and respected John, once the President of the S. B. of the Astoria High School, is now digging in the pork barrel and rolling logs in the Brazilian legislature. He said he wanted to retire and join the chorus girls of the Amazon jungles. I journeyed to Australia where is situated one of the landing stations for planes traveling to Mars and Venus. Here I was, indeed, surprised to see Bar¬ ney Vermiere tagging along with the salvation army band, but upon talking to him I learned that he was traveling salesman. He was selling ‘Skinems’ famous beauty cream that makes your face as smooth as a baby’s (elephant’s) skin, also tin skeleton keys for cemetery gates, and unbreakable balloons, and noninflam- able matches. He said that the band leader of the army he was following is Helmi Reiman; she is quite a favorite with children. On Sundays and holidays she teaches the children’s Jewish prayer class. The electro-plane finally came and I bade Bernard goodbye, wishing him good sales. After riding through thousands of miles of dizzy space, I was ready to be down and run out to solid earth, where I would wait for my breath to catch up with me. My main purpose on coming to Mars was to see Anita Wilson and Hannah Seeborg who have established a second Worker ' s Cafe, selling Suolakalaa and viilia to the aristocrats of Mars. Several other former students are also living on the “red planet.” John Jar- vinen cuts a great figure in the baking circles there. He has just published a standard Baker s Dictionary which is very handy to refer to when you forqet the names of fancy cakes in the bakeries. Beverly Cronin keeps a smart “Millinery Shoppe” on second Fifth Avenue oi New York the second. She is konwn to have a secret back room where she sells castor oil fresh from the olive tree,” to innocent car owners who run their cars with it to prevent the formation of carbon in the carburators. Achta Edwards now sometimes called “Achta the Queen of the Staqe” is traveling on Mars in company with the Queen Ashcan of Roumania and the rican Jungle King, both of them are her faithful servants and companions Katherine Kalley, the promising young lady of the Public Speakinq Class Mascufinism ”° W 3 8003 ° rat ° r ' iS 3 fam ° US lecturer on ‘The Evils of Viola Wesche is posing for the “Physical Vulture” magazine.

The city has grown to its outskirts which have now become its mainskirt. There are over one hundred thousand inhabitants but I managed to single out my classmates from among the thou¬ sands. I visited the Morning Astorian Bldg., which has been taken over by Borghild Sorenson, the editor of old maid’s weekly edition called “Forget-me- not.” Several of the staff members I recognized. Violet Loo is writing answers to the advice column. Bernice Olson writes brilliant essays on “How to Chew Gum in Public and other variegated subjects. They both were enthusiastic about their work and were proud of the fact that their publication had a wide circulation. Even Howard Murphy, the well known author, contributed his works to the “Forget-me-not. They showed me one of his best poems, entitled “Why. I looked and gazed and wondered Why it rained and then it thundered Why the lightning flashed and saundered To a tree and struck it down. Why the echo of the thunder Seemed to break my ears asunder Why the bellman made a blunder And struck the steeple down Why the watchman came and warned me Why the lightning appeared above me And the sky fell upon me and struck me down. Maurice Schultz and Paul Stangland are very adventurous business men and are organizers of the “Clam Digging C orporation whose main office is in the Young’s Building in Astoria. They are now laying extensive plans to cultivate the Sahara desert but are in the meantime runnnig a “Finnish Steam Bath to furnish funds for their enterprise. Herbert Palmberg is the manager of the “Woman’s Society and his office is on Taylor Avenue where he is chauffeured every day by one the amiable ladies. I heard the membership has increased two-fold since his appointment to that office. Walter Norblad is a very busy man, besides being a football coach of the invincible Warrenton team he holds an important government position. He takes a yearly census of all the insects in the United States. Esther Isle has taken to dairying near Beaver Creek, where she keeps well watered stock. The cows graze in the swampy plains with life preservers on. A number of the girls in our class have waded into the matrimonial sea which is inclined to get muddy at times, and frequently chills those in it. Gertrude Woutila seems to have led a quarrelsome life to an advantage. Her heated arguments with her spouse have induced them to start a hothouse where they grow marvelous tropical plants. Helen Haataja is a leading ladv and director, in other words she leads her husband and directs her household. Anita Ordway, who is married at present to a Dill Pickle King, has been a grass widow twice in spite of her shy and bashful ways. She has to earn her extra spending money by taking subscriptions for the “Art Needle Craft magazine.

Anna Anderson has enlisted in the secret service. She meets every week with the ladies of the Noall Society which was founded by one of the daughters of Mr. Poke who was related to the cousin of the man who was the uncle of the caretaker at Westminster Abbey. Minnie Paetow has been attracted by business prospects. She is making good money as a vegetable vender on Eleventh and Commercial streets, since she became limp from running in the “Lympics” at Salem. Annie Osterlund and Sylvia Carlson have also gone into business. They manufacture and sell Unique Sea Products’ such as “Shelly Fish Hair Tonic,’ Salmon Teeth Pearls and Codfish Tail Combs.

A committee was appointed by the president, shortly after the class organized, for the purpose of selecting the class pins. The pins selected were very unique. The Junior Class cleverly decorated the goal posts for the Newberg game in purple and gold, which are the school colors of both Newberg and Astoria. The Junior play, Arrival of Kitty” was a great success. The plav was given in the fall term for the purpose of financing the Prom. The side shows at the Hi-Jinks were conducted by the Junior Class. The crowning event of the year was the Junior Prom, which was held on the fourteenth of May.

The wind shrieks on past the rugged crags: The rain whips down in largening sheets; And past us with sails torn to rags Wallows a ship of the old time fleets. In the distance the floundering ship — The parting cry of some weary soul As from his hold he begins to slip To the bottom of the deep sea bowl. Now the beach-patrol is shoving out O ' er the way to rescue the life of man With craft not strong, nor any too stout They fight their way on the ocean bedlam. Weakly, yet bravely, they struggle back With men saved from the sinking vessel; But even one does this brave crew lack — He, who loosed hold on head of f ' c ' stle. Slowly now recedes the angry sea; Calmer do the winds begin to blow; Over the cliff tops the clouds now flee. And dim through the clouds the sun does show. Terrence Jeremie Nicetowne.

As a result, the burden of up¬ holding the honor of the lower classmen fell upon the shoulders of the sopho¬ mores alone. The sophomore class held its first meeting in September for the purpose of electing class officers. The officials chosen were: President ... . Wilbur Hissner Vice-President . . Irwin Laughlin Secretary . Effie Erickson Treasurer . . Irene Silver At a later meeting. Miss Littler was chosen class advisor. In the race for the interclass cup, the sophomores qualified excellently and afforded keen competition for the other classes. The girls ' volleyball team secured three points toward winning the cup by annexing the interclass volley¬ ball championship. The extemporaneous speaking contest also resulted in points for the sopho¬ mores. Their representative, Irving Anderson, won second place, thereby gaining two more points toward the trophy. The underclassmen distinguished themselves in other fields as well as those concerning the interclass cup. The sophomore stunt at the annual Hi- Jmx was one of the features of the evening and two sophomores ranked first and second in the Good English Week Contest.” These events clearlv show the caliber of this year’s sophomores. The class party also was a roaring success. A new plan was followed at the party. Instead of the usual games, stunts were presented by the various rooms—a fact which added greatly to the interest of those present. As this year rolls by and we graduate from the sophomore class, it is our wish that we may continue our good work next year as Juniors. Page Fifty-four THE-ZEPHYRUS NINETEEN-TWENTY-SIX v - z.

As soon as one issue has come out, it s time to begin again collecting news for the next one. So to each member of the staff the editor assigns some write-up. ‘You ' ll, have your article in by Thursday, won ' t you please? We want it typed early.’ “Oh yes, surely. —“Have you handed in your article? Oh, I’m so sorry but I really couldn ' t think of any news; what’ll I write? Write up the Senior play and hand it in tomorrow. —“It ' s ready today, isn ' t it? Please forgive me; I, but-but-I ' ll have it in Monday. I usually do everything over the week-end anyway. With a sigh the editor hears the excuses. And so on Monday and Tuesday she is about swamped under the flood of news articles that all rush in at the last minute. What shall I head this article? Astoria High wins county championship?’ —No. yes, I don ' t know. Oh dear, if the reporters would only head a few of their own articles. Finally after all has been typed the editor brings the articles to the press. Then over the phone: Not enough material. Three galleys short. Paper won’t be out before Friday. The editor looks for news and everyone demands why the paper wasn ' t issued on Thursday. At last the paper is edited. But still the editor’s troubles aren ' t over. “There isn ' t a single thing in the paper this time. Why in the world can ' t you put something in here worth reading?

The schools of Warrenton, Seaside and Astoria competed in a tri-anqular debate on March 11th and the local negative argued with the Seaside affirma¬ tive in the Astoria High Auditorium while the affirmative vied with the Warren¬ ton negative in that city. The other debate was held in Seaside where the Seaside negative and the Warrenton affirmative argued. Both Astoria teams lost by a 2 to 1 vote while the Warrenton team defeated Seaside by the same score and thus they had full possession to the right repre¬ senting this county. They defeated Rainier High and up to the time the Zephy- rus went to press, they were going strong. The affirmative team was composed of John Halderman and Artie Appleton and the negative consisted of Walter Norblad and Stanford Brooks. Mrs. C. W. Robison deserves a great deal of credit for the work she spent on the debates and her fine coaching.

Each grade and each activity is worth a certain number of points, and only by earning the number of credits fixed to each year can a student be eligible to membership. To wear the one bar pin, the student must have earned twenty-four points during his first year; to wear the two bar pin he must have earned fifty points by the end of his second year; and to wear the “Tor ch ' he must have earned eighty points in his third year.

Under a new arrangement, the seventh period Wednesdays was given over to orchestra practice. The programs of all students wishing to play in the orchestra were arranged to make this possible. The new plan enables Mr. Haller and the players to turn out better music on account of regular practice. Those who played in the orchestra are: First violins: Josephine Gribler, Edna Billington, Helmi Reiman, Theodore Abies. Second violins: Ralph Morfitt, Katherine Curtis, Charles Birch. Cello: Beryl Atwood. Bass violin: Albert Monge. Trombone: Sigurd Haga. Cornets: William Gribler, Gunnar Salin. Saxophone: Uno Sandvick. Flute: Charles Taylor. Drums: Kermit Eaton. Piano: Bernice Ward, Arlene Johanson. Director: T. P. Haller. The Band The good ship “Junius” had on board this year a very excellent band under the able direction of T. P. Haller. The seventh period, every Tuesday was given over to practice and thus they improved rapidly. The band was very active this season, playing at several football games, many basketball games, and at a few assemblies. Wherever they played, their muisc was enjoyed by all. The band was larger this year having sixteen members. They are as follows: Trombone: Sigurd Haga. Cornets: WTliam Gribler, Gunnar Salin. Mr. McCormick, Howard Patter¬ son, Jack Spittle.

In the fall Miss Marjorie Knapp was appointed the Admiral of our fleet, and she has weathered all the storms very well. One of our greatest local adventure this year was our skirmish with the Pirates at the Walters’ House Party. Other social times were held at the Young Women’s Christian Association salon during the year. Meetings have been held regularly with the passengers and the crew ,who man the Tri-Y ship. Our best experience recorded in our ship ' s log was being hostesses to the State Girl Reserves Conference. The Captain of this sister ship was elected from the Tri-Y ship of Salem, Oregon. Thus the ship has weathered another year. President __ Vice-President . Secretary .. Tt eas tirer . Chairman of Program Chairman of Social ... Chairman of Service ..

The purpose of this club is to build high standards of character, and to promote clean living and a feeling of good fellowship among the students. The members of the Hi-Y are an agile, wide-a-wake group with high virtu¬ ous standings. They are chosen chiefly on their strength of character. The membership of the club is confined to twenty. The initiations that are held in behalf of the neophytes, who take the places of the members who have graduated, are very pleasing to the members. The officers of the club are: President . . Vice-President Secretary . Treasurer . Advisors . . Louis Raymond Sigurd Haga ... John Halderman . Arthur Green Johnson—Eldridge The members who graduated during the mid-term are: Isaacson, Spongberg, Maenpaa, Nelson, Clay and Wing. Page Seventy-one Page Seventy-two THE-ZEPHYRUS NINETEEN-TWENTY-SIX The Philologians For another year the Philos have sailed the seas and weathered the storms. This club, organized in 23, has taken part in all activities on board ship during the past year. Its purpose, to promote public speaking amongst all on aboard, has been carried out. In March, the Philos held their annual initiation party, which, it is rumored, was one of the biggest fetes seen on the ocean in all times. The ship s debaters, who are taught to become skilled in the art of public expression, automatically become members of this society. The officers for the year were: President . Herbert Palmberg Vice-President .. Stanford Brooks Secretary-Treasurer . . June Goodale The club advisor is Mrs. Robison. Deba Dram Club The Deba Drams, a life preserver, have held a very active part in the ship this year: and have saved the lives of many passengers from the terrible dis¬ aster Monotony, off Cape Boredom and Spring Fever, with their snappy stunts and programs, which they presented from time to time. Every second Wednesday all the members met in the state-room 14. After the business had been talked over, a good program, including short plays, debates and readings, was provided by the Entertainment Committee. At the beginning of the trip, the Deba Drams and Hi-Y ' s held a joint party in the salon. Early in the evening, the girls prepared a pot luck supper in the galley. After the refreshments, the evening entertainment consisted of dancing and games. This provided a good time for all. Later at the pep rally, the D. D’s staged a clever pantomine. This was put on by some of their most talented members. Toward the end of the first trip the girls held an open meeting on deck and all passengers were invited. The program consisted of several musical numbers and a one-act comedy, “How a Woman Keeps a Secret. At the beginning of the second trip, the D. D ' s took charge of the Friday morning weekly meeting, which was held in the cabin, and to which all passen¬ gers were invited. They surprised everyone with a clever and artistic program, consisting of a large song book, in which different girls represented the cover to a sheet of music while other girls sang the songs represented. At the Hi Jinks the D. D’s contributed a clever tableaux. New members were taken into the club and an informal party was held, while the members went through various forms of torture. Last but by no means least was the never to be forgotten climb to the Crow’s Nest (Saddle Mt.) taken by the D. D. and Hi-Y boys. This climb furnished a good climax to the trip.

Astoria Hi won the first football game of the season from the Clatskanie eleven by a decisive score. The game was played on the local field and marked the opening of a fairly successful season for the local squad. Oregon City 14—Astoria 6. Astoria Hi soon met her first defeat but this did not discourage the players in the least. Oregon City had a fine team, but the score does not indicate the close-ness of the game. In the last few minutes of play, Oregon City picked up a fumble and ran for a touchdown. Until this time, the game was anyone ' s. Hill Military Academy 7—Astoria 6. Astoria Hi met another close defeat when she went to Portland and played the Hill eleven. Hill made her only touchdown in the first two minutes of play and from then on was held scoreless. After Astoria had made one touchdown. Poysky nearly broke away for another but was downed after running thirty yards. 7 Salem 12—Astoria 0. a JUS ? f S trou bl es never come singly, Astoria’s defeats didn’t come singly. After Salem trounced Astoria just by the same score that Astoria had trounced Salem two years before, it marked the third defeat of the team for the season and it proved to be the last defeat also.

Although St. Helens managed to hold Astoria scoreless after the first quarter, Astoria kept the St. Helens team on the defense for the entire game. Astoria 32—Seaside 0. Those who saw the Seaside-Astoria game saw what the local team could do when keyed up for the occasion. Seaside was going to smear Astoria but at the final whistle it seemed as if Astoria had done all the smearing The Astoria eleven shone better in this game than any other. 9 ’ Astoria 6—Warrenton 6. Warrenton fought the Astoria team to a tie on a slippery, muddv field where there could hardly be played a good football game.

Last year Astoria Hi s track team was not a sensation but it was the starting of this year ' s team, which promised a very successful season. To open the season, an inter-class track meet was held on April 29. Then all the candidates for the school team put in some hard practice training for the district meet, which was held at Seaside on May 8. The lettermen who were back to school this term were: Captain Poysky, Smith, Satre, and Koskela. The candidates were: Monge, Chung, Potter, Shatto Hughes, Lammi, Larson, Siddall, Luthe, Eaton, Cover, Brooks’ Forsta Peck, Anderson, G. Larson, Toikka, and Palmberg Page Ninety ■NINETEEN-TWENTY-SIX 7 ; yyT: v-5r5 7J tvti Inter-Class Spurts Early in the fall term, the girls organized their volleyball teams, and, until the end of that tournament was played, excitement reigned. The Sophomores, although small in size were mightily in punch, and they won the first place. The Juniors came in for second place, and, sad to relate, the Seniors, dignified and mighty, won only the third place. A little later in the season, the hoys organized their class basketball teams, and a hard and fast tournament was played. Although all the classes played hard, it was for a time uncertain who woul d win the first place. The |uniors gradually surged ahead and won the first place, leaving the Seniors and Sopho¬ mores to win the second and third places respectively. In the spring term, the girls found more excitement in the indoor meet. There were numerous events in the meet, and those who entered did their best for their classes. In this event, the Junior girls won first place while the Sopho¬ mores won a close second. The Seniors managed to win the third place. The boys ' track meet, which ended with the same results, as the girls meet, was the first of its kind in A. H. S. It was well supported, and promises to be a great success. The only other events that will determine the winning of the cup are the girls’ baseball tournament, and the scholarship for the spring term. So far, the Juniors are in the lead, but the ultimate result is uncertain. Soph. Jun. A. S. B. Ticket Sale 3 3 Extemp.

' ' k — TT -? ■- w The Junior Play Norman Lee Swartout’s three act farce, “The Arrival of Kitty.” was suc¬ cessfully staged by the Junior Class under the able coaching of Miss Jsabell Willsie. The play took place on the evening of December eleventh and drew a very good crowd. The participants of the play all took their respective parts in real actor and actress fashion. The play cast follows: Bobbie Baxter . .. William Winkler . Jane, his niece ... Aunt Jane, his sister . Kitty, an actress .. Benjamin More ... Ting a bell boy ... Sam, a colored porter . Snzette, Aunt Jane’s maid . Carl Coi ’er . Earl Hutchins _ Marie Hansen _ Barbara Dayton Norah McCullough ... Stanford Brooks . Charles Taylor . . Eric Toikka . Irene Wong The leading role was played by Bobbie Baxter, who is trying to continue his love affair with Jane, meets the strenuous opposition of her uncle, William Winkler. Because of his own selfish motives, in trying to make ten thousand dollars for himself, Winkler is determined to marry his niece to Benjamin More, who is a stranger to both him and Jane. W r hen the last hope of the love affair between Bobbie and Jane seems to be completely fading, one of Ting’s thoughtful remarks causes the clever mind of Mr. Baxter to form a plan of disguising himself as Kitty, a play-actress and close friend of William Winkler, in order to rewin Jane and punish Winkler, as all villains should be punished. Bobbie s plan turns out to be a “Scream” and he succeeds in winning back his beloved Jane and causing Mr. Winkler to go through the humiliating ex¬ perience of being found to be a hypocrite by his niece and strict old maid sister, ffe is doubly punished when the real Kitty arrives and frantically he tries to explain matters alternately to the two “Kittys. However, everything is eventually straightened out and the play ends in a triple wedding. Aunt Jane, much to her joy, gets possession of Benjamin More, for Mr. More was compelled by a trick agreement to marry her. As Mr. Winkler is doubly successful in his financial hopes, Kitty upon his request retires from the stage “to help him spend it.” Bobbie, of course, marries Jane. Much humor is added to the play by the comical sayings and actions of Sam. the colored porter. The ushers, six Junior girls, were a unique feature of the play and were attractive in their red suits trimmed with white.

The scene was set in a little Swiss village in the Alps. Gessler, was the tyrant governor who suffered from dyspepsia and this caused him to oppress his people. The people, led by William Tell, arose against him because he would have them eat raw carrots and chew every mouthful of food sixty-four times before swallowing it. Will Tell was captured and sentenced to shoot an apple off his son, Walter ' s head. Anna, who loves Walter and does not want him to be killed, bullies ’ Berenger, the captain of her father s guards, into throwing a fake fit when Will Tell is shooting so as to distract her father ' s attention, which it does. She then removes the apple from Walter’s head and throws one which has an arrow running through it at his feet. Gessler is angry because he missed seeing the “shot” so he sen¬ tences Tell to an island for the remainder of his life. Tell escapes, shooting Gessler as he does so; but the arrow hits Gessler’s pill box and does not kill him. On the other hand, the pills, which are in the box, cure Gessler ' s dyspepsia and he is no longer a tyrant. So everything turns out happy in the end except Rosa and Gertrude have to be content with Conrad and Arnold, two guards, instead of getting Tell, whom they desperately loved. The cast was as follows: Gessler (Tyrant Governor) . . Bob Minor Will Tell, Patriot Leader .. Loris Stevens Walter Tell, Tell s son . . Wilbur Hissuer Anna, Gessler’s daughter . . Frances Josephson Gertrude, Citizen . . Dorothy Billington Rosa, Citizen .. .. . Aino Pellervo Berenger, Captain of Guards . Charles Birch Gretchen, Anna ' s Nurse . Dagmar Kauppi Conrad, Guard . .

Accordingly he borrows the dress suit of a well to do, unbeknown to the owner and ventures out to a swell party uninvited. Many exciting and humorous complications rise before he makes a success at the head of a large corporation. The New Caesar CAESAR S COMMENTARIES BROUGHT UP TO DATE Long have I felt the need of a revision of Caesar ' s commentaries to bring it the interest it deserves. Therefore, I present these excerpts from my revision. There are several improvements which I wish you would note. 1. It interests the student because it pertains to facts of modern interest. 2. It presents a translation relieving: (a) The student from preparing his lesson, and (b) The teacher from the necessity of listening to recitations. 3. It pays no attention to grammar, relieving the student from much worry. BOOK 1. Astoria, Auditorium Altum est omnis divisa in partes tres, quarunam inco lunt Sophomari, aliam juniari, tertiam, qui iposrum lingua otpimis, nostra Seni- ori appellantus. Hi omnes lingua institutis, legibus, inter si differunt. Sopho- mori ab Juniori duo sella, a Senari helium dividit. Horum ominium fortissimi sunt Belgae propterea quod a cultu atque humani- tate magistral longissime absunt, minimque ad eos juniari et Seniari saepe Page Ninety-nine m TH E-ZEPHYR US NINETEEN-TWENTY-SIX TTY EX W _ - t_ ' s.. __ commeant, atque quae effminandos animos pertinent, inpartant; proximique sunt Brabau. Qui in dictam boilori incolunt, quibus cun continentes helium gerunt. All the Astoria High School is divided into three parts, one of which the Sophomores inhabit, another the Juniors and a third which in the language are called supreme, we call Senior. These all differ among themselves in respect to language, customs, and laws. Two stairs separate the Sophomores from the Juniors and Seniors and strife divides the Juniors from the Seniors. Of all these the Sophomores are the freshest because they are farthest removed from the culture and civilization of the office and Juniors and Seniors very rarely make their way to them to make them gentle; close by is Brabau who dwells in the boiler room, with whom they are continually waging war. BOOK II. Chapter I. Cum esset Sowers in Astoria, ita uti supra demonstravimus, crebri ad eum rumores afferebantur litterisque certior fieibat omnes Oregoni contra popilum Astoriani coniurare auxilis que inter se dare. Chapter II. Turn vero dubitandum non existimavit, quin ad eos proficisceretur. Exe- rictu comparata castra movet horisque circiter quinque ad fines Salem um pervenit. Chapter VIII. Sowers, primo et propter multitudum hostium et propter eximiam opinionem virtutis proelio superscidere statuit; cotidie tamen proeliis, quid hostis virtute posset et quid nostri auderent, comperiobatur. Chapter I.—When Sowers was in Astoria he was informed frequently by means of letters that all the Oregon were conspiring against the Astoria people and were aid among themselves. Chapter II.—Then truly he thought that he ought not to hesitate but should set out to them. Having prepared a team he moved camp and in about five hours came to the territory of Salem. Chapter VIII.—Sowers at first because of the multitude of the enemy and because of their extraordinary reputation for bravery decided to refrain from battle. Daily, however, he kept trying to find out by preliminary games what mettle the enemy had and what our men were capable of. BOOK III. Chapter IV. Nostri primo integris viribus forti ter repugnare neque ullam frusta ad locum superiare mittere sed mostri ab magnitudine eorun superati sunt. Chapter IV.—Our men at first unimpaired seemed to fight back bravely and no ball was sent to the basket in vain but on account of their qreat size our men were defeated. Notes. 1.

Gribler Would I were a Shakespeare, Or a noble Pope Percy, Or a Milton or a Bryant, Even Poe would satisfy me. I’ve read all Percy’s Reliques, And Milton’s immortal lore, Bryant’s Illiad when I was a frosh, And Poe I’ll read no more. Would I were a poet, To give voice to all I feel, The trees, the birds, the little bugs, And the grass beneat h my heel. The atmosphere around me, Invigorates me so; Would I were a little bird. To flitter to and fro. The little brook as it ripples by, On, it never ceasing, flows, Touches me with sympathy, From my head down to my toes. Any abnegation, Of my poetic ability, To me, is very much in vain, For I’m more aware of it than thee. This poem does not amount to much, My thoughts are wandering so, But I think I shall continue, So onward let us go. Oh—Would I were a little fish, Swimming in the brook, For being once a human, I’d never touch a hook. I’d lead the fishermen to deep, still pools, Where the brush hung o’er the lee, And their lines would become entangled; And verily they’d cuss me. The potentiality of my soul, It fairly lifteth me Far above the fleeting clouds, And out across the sea. My thoughts wander in a foreign land, ’Tis Venice, Italy, I see a pretty maiden, But I know she can’t see me. She is such a simple maiden, With a red and rosy cheek, I’d love to take her for a ride, If my Gondola wouldn’t leak. 1 see my efforts are futile, My verses don’t jibe at all, My words are all forced out of me, Instead of flowing as a water-fall. But when you read this Zephyrus, Just give a thought to me, And remember how I vainly tried, To write some poetry. Page One Hundred Two TH E-ZEPHYR US yNINETEEN-TWENTY-SIX The Great Game A story of a rough old football game between Education High and High School ‘‘Days’’ played on the field of “Life. A beautiful day promised the townspeople a most exciting game. The crowds arrived early. At one o’clock the ‘‘Public Opinions Band’ paraded on the field. In the meantime coach Faculty talked to the home team in Assembly Hall. Each player was assigned his position and told to play a clean game. The rival teams trotted on the field at 1:10. The cheer leaders called for the famous yell S-U-P-P-O-R-T! followed by What Skall We Ha. What Skall We Ha, Charleston! Charleston! Ya Ya Ya. The officials were announced as principal Johnson, referee; Supt. Hampton, umpire; and Mr. Schoolboard as head linesman Capt. “Student Body of H. S. D. and Capt. Opportunity of E. H. S. met in the center of the field and tossed up a report card. It came up “E’s in favor of Education High. Freshman took the kickoff and gained 15 yards through Study although Freshy was a little green. On the next play he was tackled by a big husky safety named “Exams,’ but “Freshman stiff armed him with a good grade. Referee Johnson rang the gong ending the first quarter. Score H. S. D., 4 credits; E. H. S., 4 credits. Second Quarter The teams changed goals. Educations front line consisted of a heavy corricula. Soph was the first to go through the line. “Activities” starts to play better with “Soph. On a tackles back late hour ' s formation “Dancing was thrown for a loss of sleep. “Snobs passed to “Cliques’ but the ball went narrow and they were penalized for stalling. Coach “Faculty immediately substituted them for “Fellowship” and Hon¬ esty.’’ This proved to be a better combination. “Anxious” passed hastily to “Activities but he went too far and made an incomplete. Anxious then played safe by punting to Education. Page One Hundred Three TH E-ZEPHYR US •NINETEEN-TWENTY-SIX The Education quarter called for one of coach ‘Faculties” famous plays. Scholarship” was to take the ball but the signals were muddled. They tried the Hi-Jinks next and the ball went over the goal carrying “Zephyrus” with it. This play found “Treasury” knocked out. Treasury came to but not without a yell from the townspeople. Last of second quarter. Score: H. S. L., 16 credits; E. H. S., 16 credits. Third Quarter Junior was over anxious on the kickoff and was tackled by “Class Spirit.” On the next play Junior retrieved himself by catching a pass from “School Spirit. This gain enabled Junior Prom to make a social smash. Score at end of third quarter: 26 credits—26 credits. Last Quarter The spectacular Junior and Senior Plays were given to the delight of the townspeople. It was Seniors last game. His team mates “Honesty”, “Fellowship,” “Kind¬ ness, Courtesy, Co-operation, Courage, and Character were to give their last breath to help him win for their school. The game was a tie. They must do something desperate! With this new spirit they opened up a flashy aired attack. Educations line of corricula was sucked in and out with ease. Play after play was sent through them in the last attempt. The towns¬ people were shouting and throwing their hats. Everything seemed to come at the last minute. “Senior” did not even have time to get his breath. But on a last great attempt Senior made a flashv wind up with a long end run and the score was 30 credits to 30 credits but Senior kicked the goal for another 2 credits and the score remained: H. S L 32 credits: E. H. S., 30 credits. Education was taken into camp to the delight of all. The townspeople had payed their money but they received their money’s worth. The players were awarded diplomas at Baccalaureate service in appreciation of their good playing. Louis Raymond.
