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 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
