ZEPHYRUS, 1932 Skyles Ahola Thompson Waisanen Miss Ambler Miss Pomeroy Senior Class o{ 1932 The May senior class of 1932, one of the peppiest and most original classes ever to be graduated from Astoria high school, entered the river of A. H. S. in September, 1929. At an early date Hubert Sandoz was elected by these young trout to lead them through their sophomore year. During this year, the innovation of this class took place—the Sophomore Hop. At the beginning of the second year, Hubert Sandoz was re-elected president of tbe group. The junior class held two great splashes during 1931. In the fall the junior play, “A Friend Indeed,” was given with outstanding success. In the spring the Junior Prom was staged. It was one of the loveliest and most colorful events ever seen at A. H. S. Soon after the beginning of the fall term, Richard Skyles was elected president of the senior class. On December 23, came the great event of the season, the Senior Ball, a success in every way. Many snags were found in the senior year, but all were successfully surmounted by this school of fish. In the spring the May senior class play, ‘‘Tons of .Money,” was presented to a large audience. Finally in May, 1932, this class reached the much-longed-for consummation of its three happy years together—baccaulaureate and commencement.
