Branstator (ID ZEPHYRUS, 1931 The Mill The clang, and the clash, and the shouts of men Piling the lumber high again; The shrieking sigh of a hard-toothed saw As it rips a great log rough and raw. The hum of power behind the wheels. And the swirling heat that grimly steels O ' er the sweating backs of the laboring men Who lift, and tug, and pull, and bend. The rumble and roar of a monster truck, Grunting and hauling through mire and muck; Clouds pouring forth from a smokestack high Sooty and blackened against the sky. The noisy screech from high o’er head, Proclaiming a rest and daily bread; A moment ' s ease, soon up, and then Piling the lumber high again. And when the five-o’clock whistle blows, The roar and clamor of labor goes Leaving the fresh-smelling stacks of boards And the great logs waiting in silent hoards. And when the darkness of night descends. One lone watchman peers and bends. Guiding himself by a single light Guarding those piles through the black of night. — JosephineWaffle.

Pile them up high. And cover the spot With awful debris Where trees once sighed. Pile them high, And look at scorched hills Instead of cool green And ripples and rills. Shall we pile them high When we hold the reins. Or will we pass by And say it’s a shame? Pile them high. But not for long It will be we WLo will right this wrong. —Mary Bany (16) 31 SENIORS f 1 is i jf wf- m - y. 7 T. r SI f j)t Ci’fyfflt !£3M ' ' V — ■■• ;-:- f f j . .

Hi H| Mb A. Klep O. Tuomikoski B. Middleton M. Lewis Miss Bergman Miss Branstator January Seniors 1931 Fresh from the mill, like straight, polished, and solid pieces of lumber, came the January senior class of 31 on Graduation day, January 16, with the purpose in mind of making themselves of some use in the scheme of life. Since the three years ago when they entered the mill of Astoria hi, as green, rough, and unfinished logs, they have striven hard to do their work, and they have done it well. Outstanding events of their course through the mill were the sophomore party, the junior play, Adam and Eva , the junior prom, and this last year, with Andrew Klep as president, the senior ball at Christmas time, and their January senior play, Golden Days , which, with its large cast, showed that the class is rich with dramatic talent. And so, in January, knots smoothed down, the class reached that goal of its dreams, baccalaureate, on January 11, and commencement. Officers President . Andrew Klep Vice-President .

Why are trees so big and green— Why are there flowers that bloom in the spring? Why is the earth, and why is the sun? Why is the moon bright when day is done? Why is the heavens so far away— Why are some sad, while others are gay? The answer is this—“We ' ve things to live for”. There’s things that are beautiful In the outdoor: There’s flowers so rare and birds in the trees; And they make one happy, whenever one sees; A forest so mighty; But one cannot know Until he is there where the big trees grow. That these are the lumber that builds the homes. Far greater than poets express in their poems Is the wonderful thrill whenever one sees The wonderful giants that God called “trees.” —Jeanette Shannon ( 22 ) ZEPHYR US, 1931 R. Morrow R. Bergstrom J. Waffle H. Tilander Miss Wooton Miss Beatty May Seniors 1931 The May seniors, class of ‘31, made their appearance in the dark, dense forest of a high school career three years ago. With each member of the class felling, hewing, sawing the huge timbers of scholarship, student activity, and athletics, they have reached the other side of the forest, the trail behind them blazed wide and clear under the leadership of Ralph Morrow, president of the class for all of those three years. The felling of those majestic trees of scholastic honor was interspersed with social events, the first of which was the sophomore party. During the second year, “Adam and Eva was presented as the junior play. The junior prom, carried out in an “iceberg - theme, had a beautiful setting and was indeed a credit to the class. During their senior year the class was successful in its work to the “nth” degree. The senior ball, resplendent with glittering Christmas trees, was a huge success. The senior play, “Lucky Break”, even better than “Adam and Eva , was yet another huge success. Then in May, with baccalaureate and the senior picnic and the class banquet, the mighty waters of the Columbia came in view—their goal at last! On May 15, the only standing tree left, fell with a mighty splash into the blue water—commencement. Officers President . Ralph Morrow Vice-President . Robert Bergstrom Secretary .

Little green sophs sitting silently awhile and then seniors moving onward and upward. -Marian Parker (31) ZEPHYRUS, 1931 y The Pipes of Pan I wandered lazily down the forest path, suddenly drowsy under the pleasantly narcotic influence of the thick, sweet, summer air. Pausing presently under the shade of a majestic maple, I speculated upon the possibilities of a spot for sleep. Too indolent to move further, I stretched out and soon drifted away to the friendly lullaby of a ridiculously busy bee. But my comfortable nap was rudely interrupted. A prodigious rain storm, peculiar to the sly cynicism of Astoria weather, made me scurry for shelter under a kindly mushroom. The fungi provided a marvelous shelter, for I was, suddenly, remarkably tiny. I settled myself against a lofty, green pole, that looked surprisingly like a blade of grass, and smiled complacently at the clever trick I had played on Mr. Weather. But my pleasant ruminations were vulgarly disturbed. Peals of laughter in unholy glee arose behind me, and I sat up abruptly. I dashed angrily around the enormous stem of the mushroom and splutteringly confronted a roly-poly, red-cheeked little man, dressed in the traditional Lincoln green. But instead of clamorously scolding him. I took one comprehensive look and grinned broadly. Why, hello, Ralph, old boy! I exclaimed, excitedly grasping his hand. What in thunder are you doing in these diggings? Oh, Morrow carelessly answered in his old familiar, nonchalant manner, just popping about on errands for Good Queen Jean. Good Queen Jean? I replied, puzzled. I don t believe I ve ever heard of the venerable potentate.” I say! Ralph exclaimed, amazed. You don t remember the old girl! Stagger over with me and I 11 introduce you to the bally kingdom!” I consented eagerly and we skipped merrily off. We reached shortly a vast glade between two hug clumps of violets. There on a magnificent lily—of— the-valley throne sat Good Queen Jean, clothed in robes of a royal crocus- purple and a dewdrop tiara, surrounded by an elaborate and pompous court. What ho! I remarked. “An old friend! Announce me.” My word no,” replied Ralph, thoroughly shocked. “Don ' t you know court etiquette. I am only official messenger boy. I ' ll throw you over to the administration. (32) ZEPHYRUS, 19 31 He escorted me to an imposing moss structure, designed, he informed me, by Royal Builder Ordway, and cheerfully left me stranded. I was then sub¬ jected to a beastly amount of boring technical detail in the course of which I encountered many old Fishermen: Court Bell-Hop Zankich, Secret Service Head Adamson, Chief Censor Mott, Supreme Judge Bergstrom, and Official Scribe, Laughlin. Finally Corridor Boy Harrison ceremoniously opened a gorgeous golden-buttercup door and admitted me into the august presence of Prime Minister Seeborg. Spotting me, he agilely leaped over his ostentatious desk. “Cheerio, old fish! he cried boisterously, pounding me on the back. Welcome to Pipes of Pan and all that sort of thing, don ' t y know!’’ After a painfully long interval of this excessive exuberance, the gay old dog blithely put me into the diplomatic hands of Chief Minister Waffle, his immediate subordinate and the masterly power behind the throne. She greeted me with heartiness and a becoming dignity, and rang a bluebell for Grande Dame Bendstrup, Royal hostess. Grande Dame Bendstrup was delighted, for distinguished guests like myself were rare. A genius at social subtleties, she began immediately to draw together the innumerable strings of her highly complex organization, and in an admirably short time, everything was top-hole. From the Administration I was taken to Vanity Fair. Lady-in-waiting Johnson, a vivacious and altogether delightful little lady, bedecked me with a beautiful discrimination, in an elegent, blue pansy-velvet robe. Then, with an entourage of charming young Maids in waiting, I grandiously approached the throne, acclaimed by an extraordinarily sagacious multitude of loyal subjects. Good Queen Jean, with a truly praise-worthy democracy, tripped lightly down the luxuriously carpeted stairs and met me half-way. Top o the morning, old thing! she cried, holding out her lovely hand. “This is a delightful surprise! We chatted gaily for a half hour while the Court Entertainers performed for my pleasure. Particularly amusing were Court Musicians Hill and Dick¬ inson, Ballet Queen Thompson, and Acrobats Norgard and Tihila. Tonight there was to be a magnificent ball in my honor in the breath- takingly gorgeous Crystal Ballroom. I was to wear a masterpiece in purple velvet and gold braid and the Maids-in-waiting were remarkably pretty. I awoke abruptly at sunset. —Ophelia Lauha.

Poysky Miss Branstator E. Wicks January Senior Class of 1932 Just a slender sapling a few years ago the Jaunary senior class of ‘32 has grown into a majestic tree, broad and tall. During their career at Astoria hi, these seniors of ' 32 have branched into many fields—scholastic, athletic, and social so that they promise to have an exceedingly busy term next year under the leadership of Albin Nordquist. During this past year the January seniors have been prominent in staging the junior play, “A Friend Indeed, and in planning the junior prom. It is assured that when the January senior “Tree’ of ‘32 has attained its full growth and is ready to be felled, the crash will be terrific. Officers President ... .

SENIORS Honored in all fields of student activity to an extraordinary extent, Josephine Waffle has long been held high in the estimation of both her fellow students and the faculty. She has had the honor during the past year of holding three major offices—president of the Torch Honor Society, presi¬ dent of the Girls’ league, and the editor of the Zephyrus. She has been active in public speaking and journalism, and is a permanent owner of the Torch. Edward Seeborg is this year’s president of the student body, and is known by all students as a jolly good friend. He has been on Astoria high’s debate team for three years. During this last semester he was elected presi¬ dent of Quill and Scroll, honorary journalistic society, and won in a nation¬ wide editorial contest sponsored by the organization, honorable mention. JUNIORS Jeanette Thompson has been during her two years here at high school very prominent in school activities. She is treasurer of the student body, secretary-treasurer of the Torch Honor, and incidentally a wearer of the Torch. She is a member of a number of clubs and holds offices in several. Hubert Sandoz has been president of his class for two years and is slated for more honor in his senior year. He is a member of the debate team and student council and is a wearer of the Torch. He is a member of various clubs and also is an accomplished violinist, playing in the school orchestra. SOPHOMORES Marjorie Gearhart, although just a sophomore, has won her way into the hearts of students and faculty alike by her enthusiasm. She has been especially prominent in debate and dramatics, and has before her a promising future. John Wilson was elected president of the sophomore class in September and has since then lived up to the trust put in him by his classmates. He has been a member of the student council during the past year. He has also been active in Frosh basketball.

Thomas Miss Ambler Miss Pomeroy The Junior ci ass The present junior class entered into the great forest of school activities in 1929 as the greenest of saplings. Despite the newness of the surroundings, this batch of timber began to flourish with remarkable speed. The newcomers at once selected Miss Ambler and Miss Pomeroy to guide them over the pitfalls of that first treacherous year. Besides presenting the sophomore party, the sophomore assembly, and the sophomore hop-all unqualified successes, the class distinguished itself for its splendid spirit in all school affairs. The newness of the school having worn off and the greenness having long since disappeared, the juniors have emerged into a growth of timber which is truly a credit to A. H. S. Already this year the class has accomplished much towards making its career an eventful one. The junior play, “Friend Inded, credited as being one of the best plays presented for some time, was followed in short order by an impressive pep assembly and numerous dances. Before the year is com¬ pleted the Junior prom and several other events will be held. With this year’s growth nearly completed all the Juniors are now looking forward to next year.

Four Hundred Students of High School Will Act as Crew.’ “Mr. Branstator, principal of the Astoria high school, takes over large logging camp. The student body elected to take on new duties with their chief. The students left, with their principal and teachers, last evening, for the scene of operation, which is located on top of Harness mountain. Further particulars will be given at a later date. ' Thus read an item in the evening paper, supported with glaring headlines. It was too unusual! People gathered about on the streets in excited groups talking about it. What would those students do next! WTile high up on Har¬ ness mountain in the midst of thick timber, the much discussed students were busily eating supper. The scene was a usual one for camp, for the students had determined that in appearance, at least they would be a successful logging crew. Gone were the snow white cords, the habitual garb of the boys; and in their place were stiff “tin pants, heavy wool shirts, “corked shoes, and green wool socks. When out-of-doors, brilliant red hats accompanied this outfit, but now during the noisy meal they had discarded them. The girls were busily running back and forth from the kitchen, carrying huge pots of steaming coffee, pork and beans, and answering calls of “more coffee, please or give me a bean . Indeed, it was a busy time for them. Suddenly the noise ceased. Mr. Branstator had arisen from his place of honor at the end of the long table, made of rouS ' h boards over saw horses and covered with oilcloth. The girls all came out of the kitchen. Jean Gearhart, with her cook’s cap slightlv askew, followed leisurely. The boys had unanimously elected Jean to the position ol head cook. Doris Thompson stood beside her. She was acting as head “flunky while other positions had not as yet been assigned. It was of this that Mr. Branstator was to speak. “Friends and teachers, he said, “I first want to thank you for the loyal support you have given me. I ' m sure with this lusty crew we can make a howling success of this business. (Cheers) Now we must get organized. I have in my possession a book which gives the logging business from start to finish, and I find there are numerous important positions to fill. First is the superintendent, better known as the “soup . Who will fill this position? There are cries of “Eddie! We want Eddie! Mr. Seeborg, will you act as “soup” for the camp? inquired Mr. Bran¬ stator. “I am overcome with the honor, but I will accept, said Eddie with a grin. “Good! Now next in order comes the side push. What that is, I shall have to find out; but we can ' t operate without a side push, and I have appointed “Snarky to act in this position. (Cheers again) As for the rest of you—I have posted a notice of the positions for you on the door. Please note them and be prepared for work in the morning. Miss Curry, will you please take charge of the girls and assign them to their various posts? Whth this he took a tooth pick and left for his bunk house. Next morning saw the boys, loaded with axes, saws, files, and what not. walking up the railroad track toward the donkey. Ralph Morrow was telling the boys how they should go about the business. (43) ZEPHYRUS, 1931 “There’s nothing to logging, boys. 1 here is a spar tree with guy lines that bring in the logs. The donkey puncher—that s You, isn t it, Hubert? Well, all you have to do is keep up a hot fire and - Just then a shout came from down the track. Wait a minute! WTo should it be but Winnie J., with a flushed face and out of breath. “What do you want? Why aren t you back in the kitchen? This is no place for a girl. We all have to be useful! Ralph exclaimed in an annoyed tone. “Oh boys,” Winnie gasped, I had such a time getting Miss Curry to let me come, and I will be useful. I’m going to be whistle punk. She beamed at them. “WTistle punk! Why, Lloyd Wlrtz was going to do that! said Ralph, becoming more angry. “Oh, but they wanted me to be bull cook, and I simply wouldn t, and Lloyd came along and said he would change places with me because he liked the title. And I just have to blow whistles,” she added wistfully. “Well, it’s a responsible position, but I guess you’ll have to stay. Come along.” “Oh, Ralphy,” gurgled Winnie, “I just knew you wouldn ' t be so mean. See I’ve got my brogues corked—caulked, I mean. Miss Curry said we must say caulked—and I’m all ready for work.” She lifted a dainty foot to display four little thumb tacks in each heel. Ralph gave a disgusted grunt and walked on. His position as hook tender made him feel very responsible, for he was head of the Rigging crew. It con¬ sisted of four choker setters who were George Cobban, Ben Wuori, Ed Carlson, and Jack Snell. Pern Averill was the wood splitter, and “Nigger was the fireman. They made a happy crowd as they walked up the track, talking ex¬ uberantly of the day ahead of them. Back in the woods came the sound of axes ringing against hard wood and the voice of Swede, who was bull buck, yelling orders to his men. He had a substantial crew working under him, consisting of Oscar Abrahamson, Ray Lerbeck, Lyle Laughlin, and Paul Mannix, as fallers. Holden was the bucker and Robert Caspell was wind fall buckie. They were very busy because one section had to be done before the hauling in could take place. Just as everything was going nicely, a terrible screeching of a whistle came from up to track, and before anyone could take a breath, the locie came tearing down the track. Robert Bergstrom was engineer, (listed in the book as “hogger and the loockey as “hog.”) and his frightened face, blackened with soot, appeared at the small window. His whole effort seemed not to be to stop “hogger” and the locie as “hog,”) and his frightened face, blackened with the engine but to blow the whistle. The “brakies,” John Thomas and Albert Wong, were precariously balancing themselves on a car and waving their arms excitedly. This was the first time they had ever ridden on a train and so the experience was doubly thrilling. Paul Wiss, the head of the section crew, or Grandy dancers, rushed to the calaboose and tore down the track after the runaway engine. Accident was averted by his quick thinking that there was a (44) ZEPHYRUS, 19 3 1 steep hill a little farther on so that the train could not help stopping. So he slowed down the calaboose and came to a gentle stop at the cook house door. He wanted to tell the girls of his thrilling experience. A banging of pots and pans gave evidence that everyone was working. He opened the door cautiously and looked in. The girls were dashing about like a family of mice, while Lloyd Wirtz sat on the floor, a boiler full of potatoes in front of him, gazing dolefully out of the window. Ha! Ha! laughed Paul. “You will change places with a designing wtaman, trying to get an easy job. I thought the bull cook was the one who tested the food, said Lloyd with a sigh. “Get busy there and get those peeled; then bring in the wood, ordered Alice Pauling, who was second cook. “And you stay out of the cook house, Paul Wiss, until the gong rings. Paul got out—with several pots flying about his ears. The rest of the girls hardly noticed this little by-play, for they were too busy. Miss Curry had her troubles assigning posts for all wanted to be flunk¬ ies and no one dish washer. “But, Miss Curry said, “there must be a dishwasher. It says so in the book. It also calls the dishwasher the pearl diver ’. Oh, what a nice name! I ' ll do it, offered Miss Clifford. I always wanted a strand of pearls. And that was settled. The rest of the work was divided up among the girls. Lizzie B. wouldn’t be anything but the bed-maker. There ' s something so nice and soft about making a bed, she said. Marge Gearhart offered to entertain the boys every evening, and when she was refused she said then she wouldn’t do a thing but decorate the table. They let her off with this, thinking to get her out of their way. Peggy Chessman and Jo Waf¬ fle went in together to operate a camp newspaper called The Harness Post. Miss Sim started a library, and the rest of the faculty operated a tea room on shares. Thus Mr. Branstator s famous camp came into being. Further adventures of this happy group will be recorded in the next volume entitled How the Head Rigger Turned to Bed-Making, relating how Marion Beezely and Greta Thompson start a beauty parlor in which Johnny Wilson was barber; how Walter Palmberg and Dick Skyles both write a novel as co¬ authors, the title of which is “Why Loggers Don ' t Prefer Blondes also how Jack Keeler turned woman hater. Don ' t miss this next installment! You can ' t afford to! (45) ZEPHYRUS, 1931 Trees Trees, so stately, strong and high.

Its purpose is to spur the woodsmen of the school on the hill to further endeavors in the field of journalism, which purpose has been carried out faith¬ fully during the year by members of the chapter in the sponsoring of contests, the making of scrapbooks, and advising members of the staffs of the news¬ paper and yearbook.

Gearhart Debate Armed only with well-worded phrases to serve the purpose of axes, the debate teams set out this year to chop their way through that maze of underbrush known as Competition. The first encounter with Seaside high resulted in a tie with the affirma¬ tive woodsmen winning by 2 to 1 and the negative losing by the same score. After this first pitfall the teams, inspired to great heights, crashed through the Clatskanie and Knappa-Svenson opposition to win the district title with flying colors. Members of the teams were Edward Seeborg and Eleanor Reed, af¬ firmative, and Hubert Sandoz and Marjorie Gearhart, negative. The alter¬ nates were George McCloud and Helen Cannon. Miss Hilda Branstator proved a capable coach again this year. The schedule was as follows: January 30 Seaside affirmative, 2. Astoria negative, 1. Astoria affirmative, 2. Knappa-Svensen negative 1 February 6 Seaside negative, 1. Astoria affirmative, 2. Astoria negative, 3. Knappa-Svenson affirmative, 0 February 18 Astoria negative, 2. Clatskanie affirmative, 1.

It is their sole purpose to promote dramatics and debate, in addition to keep¬ ing the lumber-jacks entertained. Under the leadership of Maxine Hill, as president, this group furnished and equipped a club room to be used in their work, and here they have list¬ ened to several speakers who were also interested in dramatics and debate. Aside from their regular work, they put on an assembly program, sold candy at football games and at a junior class play, gave two successful ini¬ tiation parties, and sponsored a number of individual sales in the hall during noon hours.

They endeavor to fell the tree in such a way that the most can be done with it. The largest undertaking of the Tri-Y ' s this year was the holding of the state conference in Astoria. One hundred and fifty girls representing Oregon and southern Washington attended the meet. Other activities of the club included the annual Christmas caroling as¬ sembly and the ring service, a ceremonial, held at the Baptist church. Once every week they have charge of the mess house, where every hungry logger is able to get his fill of hot dogs.” Officers . Elizabeth Bendstrup . . Peggy Chessman . Jeanette Thompson ...

The slogan of the organization is To create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout school and community. As a whole the club accomplished much toward this end. The members are clearly the leaders in school activities and as a general rule are the finest type of timber to be found in the school. Last year the Hi-Y s published the Fisherman’s Bible, the official school handbook, which production was quite a service in itself. This year the club has presented an assembly and is considering the construction of an “air- marker” sign in the near future. Much is expected and much is received of the Hi-Y s in school affairs.

In our own school this stalwart group has arrayed itself in a section of timber known as the Hi-Knights. In this club the most energetic are the most popular; dead logs and stumps are not tolerated. The Hi-Knights watchword is Service and they do everything from marking off the field to keeping order in the games. Officers President . Secretary-Treasurer .. . Athletic Manager . Adviser .

Girls ' Pep Club The jolliest group of lumber-jacks in our camp is the Pep Club, who realize that scholastic and literary work is of course necessary to accomplish tasks, b ut who realize that it is impossible for them to accomplish much without some stimulating entertainment and fun. That is why they promote ‘‘mixers after basketball games, and matinee dances, see that everybody gets to games by selling them tickets, and ushering them in their places. This year they presented the camp with a banner on which is painted its seal. Officers President ..... . Vice-president ... Secretary-Treasurer .. Cheer Leader .. Adviser . . . .. .

Josephine Waffle, as captain, and the Girls league council, as officers, were greatly responsible for the success of the trip. A party in honor of sophomore girls, held in October, a fashion tea, in February, and the annual party, in March, were the highlights of the year. The annual party was carried out in the “movie idea and was a starring success. Besides holding these social events, the league filled Christmas baskets and was also able to lend to girls for higher education the money which they derived from their candy sales. When the log raft was safely tied up at the mill dock in May, the Girls’ league felt that in its entirety the venture had been well ended. Girls League Council President .

All the loggers in the outfit have pledged their hungry palates to her and her assist¬ ants, Irja Nikula, Ruth Ely, Frances Sauvola, Ethel Woodfield, and Ellen Lukkonen. This club has held pie and salad sales during the year and has helped to spread interest among the girls in home economics. The club had a stunt in the annual spring opening parade in March.

Some of their early presentations were given on the following occasions: at the Girls’ league party on September 18; at Captain Robert Gray school on September 26: at Aunt Lucia on October 23 and 24; and at the January senior play on Nov¬ ember 14. These toe-tossers have also appeared at the Liberty theatre. They danced there at the Hallowe’en revue and on New Year’s Eve. The operetta this year was moreover greatly enhanced by their presence. They danced several chorus numbers during the show. All the appearances of this group of girls have been received with enthusiasm. Officers President . . p eggy Chessman Secretary-treasurer .

Only lettermen in athletics are eligible to membership in this organization; consequently, it is largely composed of the finest, most clean-cut fellows in the school. The club was organized in 1925 by Lloyd Sowers, who was then coach, into what was called the He-Men . Shortly afterwards the title was changed to the A Club, under which name it has functioned to the present date. The intrests of the organization are limited to school life.

It has a cloak of green, no different from any other tree. Then, with just a puff of wind it is magically changed into a glamorous silver, catching the sun beams and reflect¬ ing them. Very much the same is the work of the Dramatic Club. It changes its appearance and its character by which we recognize it; for is this not to be something at one time and then change to something else at another time? The club has had two very successful initiation parties. In fact, they maintain that they are the only club that knows how to give a real initiation. Officers 1930 President . .

The show was given for the benefit of the Zephyrus. The production brought out the hidden talent of some of Astoria high school s loggers, who carried off the show in an admirable manner. The show consisted of three parts—the circle, the eleo, which consisted of a girls tap dance contest, of which Peggy Chessman was the winner, and the afterpiece, a farce comedy. The master of ceremonies for the principal part of the circle was Tom Elv . Assisting him were blackfaced comedians — Gordon Elliot, Charles Raymond, Ray Christenson, David Bradley, Arthur Owen, and Paul Wiss. The chorus, some of whom sang solo parts, were: Blackface:— Gordon Elliott, Charles Raymond, Ray Christenson, David Bradley, Ar¬ thur Owen, and Paul Wiss. Master of Ceremonies—Tom Ely. Chorus:— Robert Lee, George Sather, Lloyd Wirtz, Maurice Adamson, Jack Snell, Harold Olson, Kenneth Larson, Lyle Laughlin, Arthur Julian, Oscar Abraham- son, Paul Weber, Franklin Frickey, and James Bates. ( 65 ) ZEPHYRUS, 1931 V y 0olden Days One of the most outstanding successes of the entertainments in the big woods was the January senior class production, “Golden Days, presented on November 14 1930 at the high school auditorium, under the capable direction Mrs. Albert Prael. The tall trees resounded with the woodsmens’ laughter during the play. M T v £ ? lay ., l i laS t0 do ith the romance of a country maid and a son of a New York millionaire. The leads were taken by Dorothy Gramms and An¬ drew Klep as Mary Anne Simmons and Dickie Stanhope, respectively.

The plot of the play was concerned with the near failure of a small town newspaper, edited by Winthrop Dana, Maurice Adamson, because of the fact that the town’s leading citizens, George Hancock and his banker, Parker, play¬ ed respectively by Donald Doran and Franklin Frickey, were backing a ques¬ tionable enterprise which the editor was attacking. The situation was saved by care-free, happy-go-lucky Jack Singleton, Dana’s friend, played by Jack Keeler, whose bright plan concerning the snuff¬ box almost didn’t work. Peggy Chessman, the feminine lead as Dorothy Han¬ cock, was the cause of Singleton ' s appearance in the small town, and she was incidentally the niece of the leading citizen. Other students taking parts were as follows: Blackwell, a star reporter, John Thomas; Charles Cartwright, known as “Owls,” cub-reporter, Richard Sk yles; Patricia Bing, a stenographer and Owls” sweetheart, Georgia Curtis; O,Reilly’ police detective head, Lloyd Wirtz; Mary, a maid at the Hancock’s, Virginia Ystad; printer’s devil, Bernice Walo. As the result of much plotting and planning. Dana, Singleton and Dorothy managed to bring Hancock to their way of thinking, so that all ended happily, even to the point that ’’Owls’’ received an increase in salary and was thus able to “pop the question.” Both leads handled their roles very well as did the rest of the cast. The juniors proved themselves to be fine actors and actresses as well as “Friends Indeed” and worthy of the honor of being loggers in Astoria hi ' s ‘crack’ camp. ( 67 ) ZEPHYRUS, 1931 7 The Lucky Break The crack loggers of A. H. S., the May Senior graduation class, enter¬ tained the lo ging camp on the hill with their class play, The Lucky Break on May 1. The plot was clever and the parts were exceptionally well taken. Martha Mullet, taken by Maxine Hill, was the proprietor of the Mullet Hotel, which business was the means of her earning a living for herself and her daughter, Nora, Jean Gearhart. Guests at the hotel were as follows: Mrs. Barrett, Eliza¬ beth Bendstrup, who was very anxious for her daughter, Claudia, Greta Thompson, to marry well; Tommy Lansing, Robert Bergstrom, who eloped with Claudia; Abner Ketcham, Vincent Zankich, and his nephew, Benny, Ed¬ ward Seeborg, who were engaged in putting on the market the Idle Hour” cemetery: Jura and Val Charente, taken respectively by Margaret Shepard and Lyle Laughlin, who were French dancing teachers; Bella Me Watt. Helen Norgard who was sure she was not going to like the Hotel Mullet; Alchiba and Alphecca Spinster, Marian Beezley and Mary Bany, two old maids who loved to commune with nature; and Charles Martin, played bv Jack Snell, business manager for John Bruce. Ralph Morrow, as John Bruce, aided Mrs. Mullet his old friend, to make a success of the hotel and at the end of the play, fell in love with Nora. The character part of Elinine Ludine Smith a servant, was very well taken by Josephine Waffle. Albert Mott as Spivins a busma n . Bruno Koven, as Tokio, a Japanese valet, and Charles Ordwav as Watkins a chauffeur, also had parts in the play. Miss Lucille Jones and Miss Betsy Wooton very capably directed this play one of the best ever presented in the gloom of the deep, dark, and tall forests which surround Astoria High. ( 68 ) ZEPHYRUS, 19 3 1 y The Belle of Bagdad” The whole of the logging camp, Astoria Hi, turned its attention to music when April 10, ‘The Belle of Bagdad,’ directed by Mr. T. P. Haller, was presented in the auditorium, as the annual operetta. Exceptionally fine work was done by all members of the cast who were as follows: Mrs. J. Horace McCann, a new American, consul in Bagdad, Edith Alborn; Elsa McCann, her daughter, Hjordis Strand; Anne Blackwell, Elsa s friend, Ellen Kiiski; Archie Fitzgibbons, a Londonner, Lloyd Wirtz; Zelinda, a dancer, Laura Terho; Lilly, a daughter of the Caliph, Dolorous Dickinson: Rose, another daughter, Dorothy Grimberg; Ali Ben Mustapha, prefect of police, George Sather; Hasan El Cario, Caliph of Bagdad, Arthur Julian; Jewel, his daughter, Francis Cole; Bob Ballentine, an airplane mechanic, Maurice Adamson; Bill Blake, his friend and companion, Gordon Elliott; Henrietta Whipstitch, a romantic spinster. Margaret Shepard; and Dick Taylor, an American, Paul Wiss. A special attraction was the Oriental dancing chorus composed of Georgia Curtis, Ebba Wiss. Greta Thompson, Sylvia Kiiski, Alice Pauling. Barbara Belcher, Jeanette Thompson, Eleanor Reed, Helen Tilander, and Peggy Chessman. Members of the chorus were: Helen Raymond, Hilja Northstar, Evelyn De Nyse, Hester Howard. Helen Pederson, Hazel Olsen, Elvira Reni, Har¬ riet Westersund. Helen Abel, Franklin Frickey, Jack Snell, Oscar Abra- homson, Jaul Weber, and Ray Christenson. Our A. H .S. loggers will long remember this most entertaining operetta, which was indeed a credit to the music department. ( 69 ) ZEPHYRUS, 1931 Journal of Johnny Inkslinger VIII A brief record of the happenings at Camp Astoria high for the years 1930 and 1931 is here written in this journal. September 8. Many loggers were seen climbing up Harness mountain to report to work. They were divided into three classes by the Principal: the ex¬ perienced seniors, learning juniors, and ‘green sophomores. October 10. The beginning rigging crew built a huge bonfire for the first lusty rally. After much welling along the streets, everyone went to the free hop’’ at the camp’s gym. October 15. The greenies held a “spooky” party midst weird witches grinning cats and shining moons at Patriot hall. All felt more ready and eager for work after such a gala time. November 1. The Pep club, order of whistle punks, gathered at the Com¬ munity hall for a tooting good time. November 7. The Representatives of the American Legion unfold be¬ fore the woodsmen the story of the World War. The loggers were thrilled and convinced that Peace should be maintained. But that night the flunkies walked out on the cooks and the loggers had to have a “buffett” supper. Such is camp life. November 14. The axe wielders presented their play “Golden Days.” The loggers were surprised to see how attractive they looked in uniforms and silk dresses. It was difficult for the woodsmen to don their homely but color¬ ful outfits after such a display of beautiful clothes. November 20. The axe wielders—January seniors—met at the Commun¬ ity hall for their annual party. After a night of revelry among Thanksgiving turkeys, all returned to the bunkhouses very tired. December 5. The Torch Honor order of cooks and Hi-Y order of flunkies held a joint party at Patriot hall. The ping-pong tournament ended with no winner or loser as both orders hit a fast pace. December 11. The Whistle Punks had their first matinee dance. All left their worries behind and answered the call of entrancing music. December 12. The high climbers showed the wood choppers real drama¬ tic competition in A Friend, Indeed. All the loggers jitneyed right along to the play for an evening’s entertainment. December 14. Oh, what a Turkey, was the exclamation made by the football men when they came out of the cook house where the wood chopper girls fed them to a Thanksgiving dinner. December 19 All the woodsmen gather at the Camp’s auditorium to see the hard bucking footballists presented with numerals and letters for their work on the turf, special honor going to Arthur Bishop for being the most valuable man on the team. ( 70 ) ZEPHYRUS, 19 3 1 December 24. The high climbers out-sang the other loggers by a loud and lusty margin. They proved that all the talent were not confined to high climbing. December 23. The axe wielders held a colorful and merry ball at Patriot hall. The lumber jacks used Xmas trees for decorations, which were unusually effective. January 5. After nine days of vacation the loggers return to work, all pepped up for their hard tasks. January 11. The axe wielders attend chapel for the last time together. They are ready to leave for their own camps after their thorough preparation on Harness mountain. January 16. The first class of axe wielders were presented with diplomas to show that they had successfully finished their course in logging. All the other loggers were promoted. January 28. The older girls of Camp Astoria entertained the novices with a tea, dance and style show. Such glorious gowns have never been shown at this camp before. The dancing was so much fun that no one want¬ ed it to end. January 29. All the loggers r allied and oh, how loud they did shout! We can’t but win all our battles with the rival log rollers. January 30. The Deba Drams and Hi-Y ' s went to Seaside with the word builders and trimmers. The rivals were quicker at rigging their words, so they won the contest with a very small log. February 18. Such a wordy battle has seldom been witnessed by the lumberjacks. Our men were able to hew down their trees more rapidly than our opponents could chop ours so we won the district championship. March 12. The log rollers won a hard played contest from Rainier. This showed the superiority of our camp over all the neighboring ones in athletics. March 21. Our team won consolation honors at Salem. Oh, how those loggers rolled that log! Two of our men were especially honored. Walter Palmberg being chosen on the All-Star state team and Pern Averill being given honorable mention. March 24. A large reception was held for the team. People from around the camp came to congratulate our victorious loggers. Later everyone danced to the music of the camp orchestra. April 17. Sophomore Hop was staged by the greenies. May 1. The loggers enjoyed an evening in Hotel Mullet with the May seniors in a “Lucky Break. May 15. Journal ends with May senior loggers tripping down the aisle on commencement. ( 71 ) ZEPHYRUS, 1931 Mother Goose in High School Winnie was a young woman Who lived in a shoe. The boys bothered her so much She didn’t know what to do, But she laughed with them And talked with them All of the time, But behind their backs They were “Asinine.’’ Ralph kissed Lizzie on the cheek, It seemed a harmless frolic, But now he’s been in bed a week, He has the painter’s colic. Wee “Snarky” Nordquist runs thru the halls Upstairs, downstairs, crying this call, Buy a Hi-Y hot dog; they re fresh today; Come all and buy one while they pass your way.’’ Three little sophs lost their fisherman’s bibles And they began to cry. Oh Seniors dear, we sadly fear We have lost your bibles. Lost your Bibles! You careless sophs Then a new one you must buy. Produce a quarter right away Then stop those horrid cries.

Clement 1930 Football Schedule Benson 12—Astoria 6 Astoria hi’s gridiron troubles began early in the season when the .strong Ber.son hi eleven invaded the Fishers’ stronghold and left with a scalp at their belt. Astoria 46—Union 0 Coming out of their first of the season’s slump, Coach Warren’s Fishers journeyed to the “Sticks” and there battled the Farmers. Although the score indicates a one sided battle, the Farmers actually advanced the pigskin to the Fishers’ five yard line. Astoria 7—Ilwacco 6 Expecting an easy victory, the Fishers jubilantly crossed the waters of the “Mighty Columbia” to meet the Ilwaco Fishermen in a nice sociable football game, but after our boys had fought the Washingtonians from their goal line about four times, they realized the enormousness of their task. , The Dalles 6—Astoria 0 The team from on the hill suffered their second setback of the season when an invincible Dalles gridiron eleven succeeded in putting a crimp in the carefully laid plans of Coach Warren. However, the boys put up a scrap worthy of a college team, giving the Dalles squad a run for their money. Chemawa 13—Astoria 0 Just as troubles never come singly, neither did Astoria hi’s defeats. After the misery of being nosed out by The Dalles, Chemawa came down to the home of the Fighting Fishermen and razzle-dazzled Coach Warren’s men to a 13 to 0 defeat. Astoria 56—Seaside 0 Such was the wrath of Astoria’s football boys over previous defeats that when they met Seaside in the annual game of these two rivals, it was just too bad for the Sandfleas. Tillamook 12—Astoria 0 Visiting the suburbs of Astoria the Fishers returned home with a good many touchdowns and the respect of the Warrenton hi eleven. Astoria 44—Warrenton 0 On Armistice day the Fishers displayed to the home town folks what they could do and for the second time during the season gave Warrenton a walloping. Tillamook 12—Astoria 0 , After being defeated for two years in succession by the Fishers, the Cheese- makers were out for revenge, and from the appearance of the score they got what they wanted. However the victory was not so easy as might seem, for the Fishers were carrying the pigskin down to the Tillamook 6 inch line when the half whistle ended the drive. ZEPHYRUS, 1931 Left to right—Elmer Koskela, Arthur Bishop, Robert Bergstrom, Howard Tihila, Edward Makela. Elmer Koskela, end, was only a sophomore, but he showed his upper class- men a few tricks in the art of handling a pigskin and receiving passes. Arthur Bishop, halfback, was in a suit for the third season for A. H. S., and he certainly didn ' t disappoint his followers. If Bishop didn’t make at least one sensational run, it wasn ' t much of a game. Robert Bergie’’ Bergstrom, halfback, used his speed to a great advantage. This was Bergstrom ' s first year on the gridiron for the purple and gold and he will be a big cog in the A. H. S. 1932 machine. Howard Nigger” Tihila, fullback, is all that a coach could ask for in the backfield. Nigger was certainly a wonder at carrying the ball and backing up the line. ' Nigger” has one more year in which to round out his gridiron career. Edward Makela, quarterback, played his first year for the Purple and Gold. With this year’s experience behind, him. much more is expected of him next year. ( 74 ) ZEPHYRUS, 19 3 1 Left to right—Charles Ordway, Albin Nordquist, Douglas Jackson, John Thomas, Delbert Bjork. Charles Chuck Ordway, tackle, played his first and last year in a high school suit. He certainly will be missed next year. Albin Snarky Nordquist, guard, was also playing his initial season for A. H. S. He has another season in which to star in the line. Douglas Stonewall Jackson, center, finished his gridiron career very successfully. This was Doug s third year. His will be one of the hardest positions to fill next year. John Thomas, guard, will be back again next year with two years experi¬ ence behind him. Much is expected of him in his last season. Delbert Bjork, tackle, was a terror to opposing tackles and guards in any football encounter. Delbert will be back next year for more. ( 75 ) ZEPHYRUS, 1931 Left to right—George Kesti, Harold Olsvick, Robert Caspell, Edward Elfving, Leslie Messenger, Carl Paakola. George Kesti, halfback, was the speed demon of the backfield and had it not been for an injury in the early part of the season, Astoria high would have had a few more touchdowns to her credit. Harold Olsvik, guard, gained the name of the “Great Guard for he had a queer habit of tackling low and hard. This was Bozo’s last year in a high school suit and many of Astoria’s opponents are glad of it. Robert Caspell, halfback, was certainly an asset to his team. This was his second and last year for Astoria high. Edward Elving, tackle, was only a sophomore, but he certainly developed into a football player during the last season. This mountain of muscle has two more seasons in which to terrorize his opponents. Leslie Messenger, end, was the only one; who could begin to take the place of Larson on the receiving end of a pass. He certainly proved his mettle in the fracas with Ilwaco high school. Carl Paakola, tackle, lived up to the expectations of Coach Warren in his tackle perch. Paakola was a hard hitter and could bust throuqh an opposinq line with little effort. ( 76 ) ZEPHYRUS, 1931 1929 1930 1931 Basket-ball Trophies In three years coaching at the Astoria high school Coach Warren has produced such teams that each year they have brought back one ct the th ee highest prizes from the annual State Basketball tournament. The first trophy to be earned by “Honest John and his casaba tossers was that of second place, or the runners-up trophy. That was in 1929 when the Fishermen advanced spectacularly into the finals only to lose to the wonder team from Medford by a 34 to 14 score. In 1930, with only a few veterans left from the 1929 squad, Coach Warren built up an attack and defense that went through a heavy sea¬ son without a single loss to a high school team and defeated Salem high 32 to 17 to get the State Championship trophy. And this year the Fishermen, elimi¬ nated from the championship round in their first game against Jefferson high of Portland by a score of 33 to 28, fought an uphill grade to beat out all other “losers, including Jefferson high of Portland, to win the third place trophy. Each year that the Fishers have gone to the tournament since Coach Warren took over the reins, Astoria has placed a man on the mythical All-State basketball team. In 1929 Larson went so hot that he had no trouble in getting a perch on the all-state team. The following year, when Astoria won the title for the first time, Ystad received the unanimous vote of the judges for All- State guard. This year the choice was a forward, Palmberg being accorded that honor Astoria has attended every tournament that has been held except the one in 1924 when they lost to St Helens. The Fishers have placed seven men on All-State teams since 1920, one in 1922, two in 1923, one in 1925, and one each in the last three years.

Robert Bergstrom, forward, played his first year of basketball for the fish¬ ermen, but his experience with other teams previously rated him a permanent perch on Honest’ John Warren’s quintet that took the consolation prize. Bergie is a good all-around man, capable of playing forward, center, or guard and playing all about equally as well. Bergstrom has another year and he is expected to make a good running mate for Palmberg in Astoria ' s 1932 drive for the State Championship. Vincent Zankich, guard, is not as large as some of the other players, but his fight makes up for his height. Zankich played his first and last year. Coach Warren is already scouting about for someone to fill his post. Walter Palmberg, forward, was the realization of a coach s dream of a perfect ball handler. Palmberg led the Fishers through a very successful season in the district, and then the State Tournament, he made such an impression that he was placed on the All-State mythical team. “Leftie will be back for another year, and he is expected to profit by his two years’ experience. Edward Makela, guard, was the backbone of the Fishers defense and not only this, but in the State Tournament “Iron Horse” pulled Astoria ouintet trom behind to win the game against Monmouth 21 to 20. Makela was one of the highest scoring guards of the entire tournament. Pern Averill center, is Coach Warren’s only other letterman besides Palm¬ berg with which he began his winning team. Averill received honorable men¬ tion from the critics and that certainly was going some” with nearly all the centers about three or six inches taller than he. Averill has another year. ( 78 ) ZEPHYRUS, 1931 Left to right: Howard Tihila, Robert Caspell, Elmer Koskela, George Harrison, Erling Orvick, Tom Hayashi. Howard Tihila, guard, is an all-around athlete, and although he started later in the season, he finished with flying colors. Nig is also of football fame. Robert Caspell, guard, was one of the most consistent reserves Coach Warren had. Coach never hestitated to put Robie in no matter how close the score. Elmer Koskela, forward, is another of the many sophomores who has a future ahead of him on the basketball court if he keeps up his record. He is a wow at intercepting passes and will make an excellent ball player. George Harrison, forward, was another one of Coach Warren s star re¬ serves. This was his first and last year in suit for the Fishermen, and his loss will be regretted. Erling Orwick, center, is a comer if there ever was one. Orwick had a streak of hard luck after the first two games, but he played well against Jeffer¬ son in the first encounter and again in the Monmouth fray. He will be back for two more seasons. Tom Hayashi, forward, is another new comer for the Fishers. He bears close watching. He has two more years in which to make a name for himself and Astoria high. Leland Canessa, forward, is only a second term sophomore, but he was selected as one of the eight to make the trophy winning team which went to the tournament. With this year’s experience behind him. he should be worth a lot in the next two seasons on the casaba court. ( 79 ) ZEPHYRUS, 1931 Basketball 1931 Coach Warren, coaching his third year at Astoria high, again pulled his quintet of casaba tossers through the 1930-31 basketball season in record breaking style. After a successful local season the Fishermen won the District title and then won third place at the State Tournament. Kelso was the first team to bow to the Fishermen, the score being 29 to 27 in Astoria s favor. V estport followed by a 44 to 17 count and the Knappa-Svensen Farmers next entertained the Fishers to lose 57 to 13. Going out of their class the Astoria high five defeated the Columbia university Preppers 44 to 25. Warrenton was disappointed 30 to 15 and Seaside ' s Sandfleas were drubbed 44 to 16. Begin¬ ning to score, the Fishers ran up a 71 to 30 count against Ilwaco, and next took Westport for a ride by a 78 to 22 margin. The Fishers met their first bit of real competition when the Salem Vik¬ ings conquered the champs of 1930 by a decisive 34 to 23 win. Sorrows came not singly for the Astoria quintet, for Longview nosed out Coach Warren s fighting basketeers by the heart-breaking score of 22 to 20 in the final minutes of play. The Fishers took their spite out on the Sandfleas by beating them 35 to 10; but on the very next night, they lost again to the Lumbermen from the city across the stream. In the lowest scoring game of the entire season, Long¬ view again won out by a two point margin, 15 to 13. Warrenton was the vic¬ tim to meet the Astoria boys after this defeat, and the suburban casaba tossers were turned away 65 to 15. Knappa Svensen lost 64 to 13 two days later and after this the Fishers decided to try out the climate in Ilwaco, winning after a close and exciting game by a 34 to 29 score. With the season nearing an end, Tillamook brought over their Cheese- makers and bombarded the Astoria basket for 27 markers, while Astoria ' s own ran up a score of 31. Earlier in the season Coach Warren’s quintet lost to Chinook in the Washington city by a two point margin after a rough game and again on February 24 the Chinook Yeomen took the locals for a ride, this time by a 22 to 20 count. On the 26th of February the team, minus Averill their center, left their stronghold on the hill to invade the city of the Cheesemakers after which they travelled to Salem to meet the Vikings. The team lost 22 to 30 to Tillamook and were rubbed into the dust of the Salem floor by a 47 to 16 score the following night. Corvallis was drubbed 33 to 10 by Coach Warren s quintet, after which came the district tournament to decide the right to enter the state tournament. In the first game on the Rainier floor, the Fishers won out by a 28 to 26 count after the regular game had ended in a tie at 23 all. “Leftie Palmberg sunk in two baskets right after the tipoff in the overtime period, and Bergstrom put in a foul shot to put the Fishermen ahead enough to win the game Rainier came down to Astoria and this time the Columbia county champs were defeated 38 to 16. and the Fishers had won their seventh successive district title. At the State Tournament Astoria made another record for itself by win nmg the Consolation prize. Greater than this prize is the accomplishment of Coach Warren and his team in defeating two Portland high teams in one day, Jefferson in the morning by a 36 to 18 score, and Benson in the cham pionship game 30 to 23.

There came a crash of man against man and the thud of falling bodies. The referee ' s whistle rose shrilly from the mass, and the players slowly unwound. Figure after figure stood up until only one silent shape, surrounded by his comrades lay on the ground. A startled murmur ran through the crowd. Who had been injured? Mothers grew pale and prayed that it was not their son; students groaned and imagined the worst. Why did those around the prostrate one not let him be seen? Could it be something very serious? A player dashed to the sidelines for a brief consulta¬ tion, and the coach rushed onto the field carrying an extra pair of football pants. Romance A giant tree shielded them from the rays of the brilliant harvest moon. Below them the polished ebony surface of a lake gleamed peacefully. The night was ecstatic. Somewhere across the water a fox barked. A few yards from their feet a bull-frog plunked his bass saxaphone. Aside from that, all was quiet. 1 hen the stillness was broken by the faint peal of the village bell two miles away as it rang out the hour of midnight. For some time Reginald had been searching frantically for nerve enough to tell her what was uppermost in his min d. Now the verv sound of the far-off bell seemed to give him the required stamina for the question which had troubled him for over an hour. And now he spoke: A-a-. Gladiolus, don t you think we had better-a-a- be going; it’s twelve o clock? Lord Jeff. De Profund is i welve days had passed and yet she had heard absolutely nothing from him. Why was he silent? What had happened? Despite the fact that she loved him she felt that she knew ' him even in the most absurd flourishes of his peculiar personality. His inherent pessimism often threw him into swamps of morbid silence w ' hen he felt that she had wounded him, but these fits had ever lasted but a short time! Always, after a few days, he would fall back into his old self, but as the days dragged on, she began to think that his wound must be of a deeper nature. She w ' rote to him several times, begging to know what had happened, and pleaded w ' ith him to explain. Finally, after several frantic letters, this is w ' hat she received: ‘Dearest Sweetheart: and 1 just can t keep the news from you any longer. Try to forgive me, dearest heart, but I yielded. The temptation was too strong for me. I am growing a little mustache. —Oswald. More Bouillion, Gentlmen? A drama in three cups, by Sir Maxwell Lipton Hershey.
