When you speak of clever ideas for rallies, pep assemblies, Hi-Jinks, or any¬ thing that will promote enthusiasm for the activities at Astoria High, Miss Wootton is tops. Football and basketball boys know her as a friend, counsellor, and banquet promoter. The Pep Club knows her as a leader who gives unreservedly of her time and talent. The entire student body know her as a school spirit dynamo. In recognition of her contribution to the extra curricular activities at Astoria High, we affection¬ ately dedicate this 1937 Zephvrus to Miss Betsy V ootton. [ 3 ] c p li y r ii s I • 7 % o o o a orewor Just as the river flows on like a dream, so pass our high school clays. And just as the waters of the river some day reach the sea, so our high school days must eventually come to a close. . . . When this book comes off the press, some of you will have reached that place in your course where you will be ready to enter the sea of life. . . . If we have succeeded in preserving in this Zephyrus some of those bits of your high school days that you cherished in your dream, we shall have accomplished our pur¬ pose in compiling this book.

Towler The Student Council is composed of the student body officers, who represent the students in managing finances and business matters, and in supervising activities. The high light of the activities of the Council this year was the purchase, in conjunction with the school board, of a sound-projector. The Council also sponsored a Pep Rally, a Hi-Jinks, and the District Tournament, chartered a ferry for the game with llwaco, which was played at Chinook, and issued season basketball tickets. Mr. Towler acts as adviser for this group. I stor io High School [ 8 ] FACULTY Z c p !■ y r u s . • • • [ 9 ] ■ «Ki 7 A. C.

Ruth Rabell The spring of 1934 brought to the Astoria High School a small but peppy class, who chose for their motto “Not at the top, but climbing.” During the second term the traditional Sophomore Hallowe’en Dance was held by this class in Patriot Hall. The dance proved to be a tremendous success and was the first stepping stone in the upward climb. These congenial Sophs were guided ably by Mary Lou Wilson. During the second year the class began to demonstrate their dra¬ matic ability by presenting “Inside the Lines,” a war-time mystery in three acts. Each year the class improved and finally climaxed their dramatic career by a rip roaring Senior play, “Aunt Cindy Cleans up.” The class picnic, held at Cannon Beach in the early fall, proved to be one of the most enjoyable events of the closing term. This class contributed many honor students, athletes, and members of the publication staffs and service clubs to prove itself mighty, although small.

Robert Harrison The present Senior class entered Astoria High, as all green Sopho¬ mores have entered, with high hopes and a determination to make themselves known. Quite apparently they have done so. Under the successful leadership of Alary Lou Wilson, Sophomore president, the class weathered all storms. This industrious group of Sophs built the bonfire after the rally, and the year was brought to a climax with the annual Sophomore Hop, which proved to be one of the best ever held at Patriot Hall. Incidentally, this was the last class to uphold the traditional hop and bonfire. After such an active Sophomore year, the class entered their Junior year with no abatement of pep or enthusiasm. Myron Miller was elected president of the Junior class. With the presentation of the lunior Play “Inside the Lines,’’ the class was again brought into the limelight. In honor of the graduating May Seniors, the Juniors gave much of their energy toward holding the annual Junior Prom. Clever decorations and its original theme made this prom spectacular. Hy their Senior year, the class of 37 had established a reputation as an outstanding, lively, non-stop class. Jack Mat .gei, Lldred Hen¬ drickson, Gladys Aspmo, and Robert Harrison were chosen to fill the offices. Many husk boys participated in athletics, and other members of tlie class contributed much of their talents in vaiious souiccs. With a bit of ‘ Senior Dignity” added to their zeal, these May Seniors turned out to be a class that any school could be proud of. After the Senior Ball for the January Seniors was held, they began to practice for the play, “Seven Keys to Baldpate, which was undei the direction of Miss Zoe Allen. After completion of this production all attention turned toward the picnic, banquet, baccalaureate and finally commencement. With Bishop Dagwell giving the parting address, the May Seniors of ’37 bade Astoria High goodbye.

Richard Paulsex Upon entering Astoria High School this Sophomore class became known as one of the peppiest classes that has ever entered the school. The boys polished seals with great ardor, and the girls wore the tradi¬ tional green ribbons. Under the leadership of President Donald Walker , these Sophomores won the Pep Rally and the Hi-Y Song Contest. Although these Sophomores did not hold their annual Sopho¬ more Hop, they did sponsor a matinee dance, and held several dances after basketball games. To start out their second year, this peppy class elected Brenham Van Dusen, president; Jimmy Lovell, vice-president; and Iona Gimre, secretary-treasurer. The first honor of the year, which the Junior class took was the winning of the announcement contest, which netted them their first three points towards the Hi-Y Pep Cup. The main event of the year came on the night of December 11, with the presentation of the thrilling mystery play. “The Valiev of Ghosts,” under the direction of Miss Crouter. e p li y r u s ■ 9 • 7 uniors Anderson Chester Erp Goldbeck Hanhela Hunsinger Karakalos Anderson Cosmos Fischer Grimberg Hanson Hmu Kildall Ash Dahl Forness Grimstad Harris Hum Kipste Bakkensen Dempsie Froyseth Grotting Hoyt Ihander Koe Berg Dreyer Fulton Gustafson Hughes Johnson Krum Burlingame Enbusk Gerritz Hagnas Huhtala Kamara Kruckman r ■ «i IB i g li n c h o o 1 [ 26 ] uniors Lakkolu Laine Maki Malinen Morgan Nelson Ollier Olsen Pekiiri Pesonen I’uotinen Putansu Hones Rollandi I Amie Lileeng Mannila Manilla Ness Niekolatti Osterby I’arhaniemi l’etersen 1 ’ietila Pytliila Rindell Kyan Sagen Lind Lovell MeMindes Moore Niemala Nyles Parker Paulsen Prepula Prouty Rinell Rogers Salisbury Sasi [ 27 ] 1 1 J u n i o rs Schadevitz Siverson llrbrand Wahl Wright Sorensen Walker Wygant Yost Spicer Trench Tufts Wilson Wirkkunen Wirkkunen Yrjana Zimmerman Astoria Bi B Bi School [ 28 ] SOPHOMORES Officers omores President Jice-President Secretary Sergeant-at-A mis Adolph Loegren Herman Johanson . . Verna Lalli Davis Danielson Approximately two hundred Sophomores entered Astoria High this year to complete three of the most memorable years of their lives. The first six weeks all the Sophomore girls were recognized by their green ribbons. The boys were kept busy cleaning the school seals; also they were very careful to leave their “cords” at home. But when some unfortunate forgot and wore them to school, he received the “spats” from the Seniors. Determined to be an outstanding class, the Sophomores started on their course by winning the first contest of the year. 1 his was the ticket selling contest for the St. Helens-Astoria football game. The Sophomore class has added many new members to the various school organizations. Athletics has claimed many, both boys and girls. The girls who are interested have joined the G. A. A. and have become prominent in its activities. Football, basketball, and track teams have been strengthened by the large turn-out of Sophomore boys. Some have already earned per¬ manent positions on the regular teams. The Torch Honor also has an increase in membership because of the new Sophomores.

This is the slogan under which the Pep Club performs. Under the supervision of their adviser, Miss Betsy Wootton, these twelve upper class girls have striven to stimulate the interest of the students in athletics and other school activities. Included in the activities of the club are ushering at basketball and football games; selling candy, hot dogs, peanuts, and ice cream bars; teaching the Sophomores yells and songs; selling of tickets to all high school games; giving a joint assembly with the Hi-Knights; sponsoring of dances; and sponsoring of annual banquets for the football and basketball squads. Membership is restricted to twelve upper class girls with (7 aver¬ ages, who have shown their pep and enthusiasm during their first year at high school. f « | Be y r ii s . . . .

Toivo Piippo played his second and last year at end. He was one of the outstanding pass-snatchers in the state. William Malmberg showed plenty of fire in practice to rate a first-string tackle berth in his first year of high school competition. Lloyd “Joe” Sauvola played his second year at guard. He was as large as an elephant on defense and an outstanding blocker on the offense. Woody Kelly’s fighting Irish spirit and ability paved the way for his job as first-team center in his first year out. “Tup” Danielson came up from Astor to make the first-team grade as a Sophomore. “Tup” held down the left guard position. George Abrahamsen, playing his third year at tackle, was the mainstay of the Fishermen front wall. At left end was Armand Falleur, wide-awake and always waiting for the ball to be snapped so that he could rush in and mess up the offense plays. Bill Starnes led the Fishermen to victory by his clever footwork and shiftiness on the turf. Bill starred at left half. Boob McCallister held down the other halfback post. It took an exceptionally good man to stop him once he got started. Cliffy Anet assumed the job of playing safety. Cliffy should show the same caliber of ball that his brother did in his high school career. Cliff is just a Sophomore. And last but not least, there was “Untti” Juola, hard-hitting fullback. This was Eino’s last year for the Purple and Gold. COACH EMIGH % I (i r i i High School [ 34 ] First row : Richey, J. Mct’allister, Thompson, Porlei Second row : ( ' iiester, Lovell.

Opening their season with a bang, the Fishermen drove over two touchdowns to defeat Commerce High of Portland 12-0. Next on the schedule came Longview, a team not to be trifled with. Just a shade too confident after their recent victory over Commerce, Astoria made the trip to Longview only to succumb to the power¬ ful Longview eleven 20-0. Undaunted by their loss to Longview, the Fisher¬ men took a 14-0 win over llwaco and an 18-0 victory from St. Helens. Hood River furnished the keenest competition of the season. They were just able to push the ball over the line for a 6-0 victory at the hands of the local boys. Once again the team travelled. This time they went to Salem to meet the highly-touted Viking eleven. The game was a nip-and-tuck one. Neither side being able to push over a score. The Fishermen came home determined for a victory. They were rewarded b a 38-0 score over St. Stephens, a 25-0 victory over Hill Military, and a 25-0 count with Seaside. Playing in a fog so dense that the safety-man could hardly see his line, the Fishermen eleven nosed out Tillamook High 6-0 on the lat¬ ter’s field in the last game of the season. A summary of the season ' s play gives Astoria eight victories, two losses, and one tie, for a 374 per cent average. Astoria ran up a total of 153 points to only 33 for their opponents, giving them an average of almost 14 points per game to just 3 for their opponents. KINO .irei.A . . .

ANET, McCAI.I.ISTER PORTER, ATHLETIC MANAGER Toivo Piippo, sharpshooting forward for the last two years, played his last year of basketball in grand style this season. Toivo is an excellent dribbler, a fine passer, and was the highest scorer on the team. Toivo was awarded a berth on the All-District team and also honorable mention in the State Tourna¬ ment. Clifford Axet, forward, playing his first year as a regular, has been the most consistent player on the squad. Although small in stature, he is a tricky passer and good shot. Earl Sax t dx t ess, lanky blonde center, played his first and last year as a regular. “Sandie,” although bothered by an injured knee, was a very consistent scorer and a fine defensive player. Earl really “went to town in Salem, breaking the individual scoring record by making sixty-eight points in four games. H Irani Parker, playing his final year on the maple court for Astoria Eligh, climaxed his three years of Astoria basketball with brilliant perform¬ ances. He is one of the best and fastest dribblers in the state, and a remarkable set-shot artist. Robert McCallister, stellar guard, playing his last year of basketball, has been a consistent help to Coach Emigh’s attack. “Boob” shines in the defen¬ sive position, being a scrappy player. « I o r i a High School [ 36 ] 5 stiluses FULTON, SAARHE1M, IIKNNINOSEN. CEHERHERd. CARLSON George Fllton, guard, although not a high scorer, is Emigh’s best defensive player, having held some of the state’s highest scorers to few or no points. George is a southpaw and is a very clever dribbler. John Cederberg’s style of play can be best described in three words. He is dependable, cool, and very clever. Ted Hennixgsex, lanky substitute center, has seen little action because of ineligibility. Using his great height to advantage, Ted has developed into a strong player under either basket. Norman Saarheim, alternating at center and forward, has turned in a creditable record. “Snort is tall, shines in both offense and defense, and is always fighting for the ball. He specializes in one- handed push shots. Kenny Carlson, forward, playing his last year under Coach Emigh’s mentorship, has showed up well under fire. He is a calm, and clever player, and a fine set-shot artist. kalleur, assistant coach 7 c p It y r % . . . - [ 37 ] ■ i 7 First row: Porter, Fulton, Cederberg. Palmberg, Thorsness, Mr. Jensen.

It is the only honorary club of its kind in Astoria High. Tins year the constitution was amended. At present any candidate must have three E’s and one G for the first twelve weeks of his Sopho¬ more year. Any student or Senior who has failed to join may be elected into the dub upon meeting certain requirements. All members of this club are divided into different groups depend- mg upon the number of points secured. At the end of the Sophomore y ear their one-bar pin is replaced by a two-bar pin if fifty-four points have been earned. 1 hose who have earned eighty-four points in schol¬ arship and activities may secure their torches. Permanent possession of the torch is awarded to any graduating Senior who has earned one hundred and twenty- points at the end of his Senior year. This is the highest ayvard given to any high school student for scholarship. A lwri « High School First row : Lum, Ash, Wilson, Lovell. Second mu: Matzger, Hunt ns. Miss Curry, Howell. Pauling.

Through the efforts of its members, classes in the various fields of journalism were held. Results prove that the organization has accomplished much toward training a more competent staff for both the Astor Post and the Zephyrus. Not only has the society rendered services to the school, but it also provided much entertainment at Open House by publishing extras during the evening. Because Quill and Scroll is an international honorary for high school journalists, about twelve thousand students wear the gold badge. Charters have been granted to a large number of schools in the United States and also in Hawaii, England, Alaska, China, and the British Honduras. In 1930, a charter was granted to Astoria High School, making it the Curry Chapter of Quill and Scroll. In order to become a member, a student must meet the following requirements: 1. He must he of at least junior standing. 2. He must be in the upper third of his class in general scholastic standing. 3. He must have done superior work in some phase of journalistic work 4. He must be recommended by the supervisor. 5. He must be ap¬ proved by the National Secretary-Treasurer.

The Hi-A ’s are always ready and willing to donate both services and finances to help in any way in improving the school. They are especially noted for their advertising in assemblies and for the all¬ purpose bulletin board, which is one of the more recent donations of the club. Together with the usual projects consisting of hot dog sales, taking of tickets at the football games, and the bi-annual song contest, the club this year held the annual Older Boys’ Conference in Astoria. The club has helped to establish an interclub council composed of the offi¬ cers of the four Hi-Y clubs in the county. Another new project was the sponsorship of a pep contest between classes. Points were given to the winning classes in the yell contest, song contest, ticket selling, and participation in all school activities. A cup is to be presented to the wining class at the end of the year. i o it i «t MM igli School [ 42 ] Tri-Y ' s First rmv: Hughes, Green, Grimstad, Asli, Howell, Bnkkcnsen, Miss Ogden, Salisbury, Mannula, Burlingame, Gutzeit, I.’Amie, Wirkkunen.

Coach George Emigh In 1923, Coach Lloyd Sowers felt the need of a club for all letter- men and therefore organized the “A” Club. The purpose of the “A” Club is to unite the lettermen in order to further the boys’ interest in athletics. The club has also taken upon itself the duty of instructing the sophomore boys in the cleaning of the Sophomore floor and the grounds of the school. The “A” Club aLso holds weekly hot-dog sales, and occasionally sponsors dances. Coach Emigh has been the adviser for the past two years. There is no definite limit to the membership of the “A” Club. Every boy who has earned a letter in athletics automatically becomes a member. Neither is there a definite time for meetings, but when there is important business to be discussed, a meeting is held.

This training is becoming more popular every year in other parts of the United States as well as in Astoria. The Vocational Club is comprised of students who take vocational education, and who work as apprentices in the afternoon on school days and all day Saturday. An innovation this year was the addition of girls to this class. The girls are eligible for membership in the V ocational Club, but they are not admitted into the Future Crafts¬ men of America, a national organization of which the Vocational Club is a branch. The members of the club are working at the following types of occupations: machinist, office management, automobile sales and serv¬ ice, painting and interior decorating, auto mechanics, wholesale gas and oil distributors, optometrist assistants, retail grocery, baking, sei vice station attendant, boat building, photography, retail furniture salesmanship, power and light supplyman.

Home Economics Club members met twice a month on Mondays this year at the Y. W. C. A., at which time they had a guest speaker, program, or some other form of entertainment. On the other two Mondays they had short meetings at noon in the Home Economics room. A formal initiation is held once each term, after which the neophytes provide the entertainment and serve the refreshments. In order to become a member of the Home Economics Club, a girl must be either a Junior or Senior, majoring in Home Economics, and maintaining a G average in all her subjects. Several times during the term the club held pie sales at noon. Another important project of the club was the style show at the Annual Open House. W. e |i la y r r ■■ • . . • .

The art department, with Lenore Isaacson as editor and Reuben Jensen as adviser, has effectively carried out the theme “The Colum¬ bia River” with numerous maps and sketches of river scenes. This department also provided the drawings of the emblem of each organ¬ ization and the sketches of the school building. The first task of the business staff was to obtain three hundred subscriptions and collect the first payment. Miriam Lukkonen, busi¬ ness manager, and Miss Violet Crofoot, adviser, so promptly fulfilled this duty, that the editorial department was able to begin work much sooner this year than usual. Under the faithful guidance of Miss Curry, the editor of the year¬ book decided upon the theme, style of the book, arrangement of pic¬ tures and color scheme of the book. The editorial department organ¬ izes the liteiaiy material and supervises the photography. A he book is put out on a fall basis, the pictures being taken in the fall of the year. l§toria High §claool [481 J Tsior Posl First row: Grimberg, Lovell, Gramms, Ash, Miss Curry, Johnson, Heckard, Matzger, Jensen.

Reuben Jensen Every other Friday during the school year, the entire student both look forward to receiving the Astor Post, the semi-monthly school newspaper published by the Astor Post staff. It was first issued in 1923 under the head, “Astoria Hi Life. Because it was meant to be more than just an account of social life, the head was soon changed to the present name, which it has retained ever since. In 1931-32 the paper won All-American Honor Rating in the National Scholastic Press Association; in 1934-35, First Class Honor Rating. VV ork is carried on in the Astor Post office, from which can be heard the sound of scribbling pencils and banging typewriters, during the week before publication For the Senior and Junior plays, Astor Posts were printed with the programs of the performances. Special editions were also printed at Christmas and graduation this year. To create further interest a contest was originated during the fall term. Prizes were awarded at the close of each third issue to the reporter, typist, and headliner turning in the most work during the six weeks. An all-time record was gained by Warren Grimberg, sports editor, by writing eighty-six inches of news. ?] e l la y r ns I i 7 rams Deba First row: I Amie, Aspmo, Wilson, Blair.

T he membership of the club is limited to twenty members, vacan¬ cies being filled at the close of each semester, if desired. The Deba Drams sponsored again this year their annual Deba Dram Amateur Hour, thus encouraging much interest for dramatics and for performing before an audience. Twenty students participated, contributing to the program a variety of comic acts, and violin, piano, and vocal solos. 1 he club also held its annual party, picnic, and Deba Dram Assem¬ bly during the year. In addition to the regular list of activities, a short play was presented at the Hi-Jinks, and a free matinee program was given for the benefit of the students. Presid ent .

The duties of the assistant librarains are to take roll, check out and put away books, and keep the shelves and the library in order. These assistants also help the students find books and references. You can easily recognize the club members by the purple and gold arm bands that they wear. Although the club was organized only last year, it has already taken an important part in school activities by sponsoring sales and dances. They have raised money to furnish the library with new equipment. In the spring term under the presidency of Ann Hughes, the club held several social meetings at the homes of the members.

An innovation in musical programs at the high school this year was An Evening of Music,” presented by the combined Glee Clubs and Tri-Y Chorus, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth R. Ogden. 1 he High School Chorus, composed of the Girls’ Glee Club, with sixty-five members, and the Roys’ Glee Club, with twenty members, is one of the largest ever organized in this school. The Glee Clubs made their first public appearance of the year at the Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises in January, In addi¬ tion to “The Evening of Music,” presented in March, the clubs also gave a concert in May. To become a member of the chorus one must meet the requirements of the music director and be able to adjust his schedule to the prac¬ tice periods.

Ogden, this group made its debut during the Junior Class Play, when it helped to create the jittery atmosphere so necessary for “The Valley of Ghosts.’ Functioning in its usual capacity, this organization has, as this is being written, already done its share in one baccalaureate and com¬ mencement rites. Before the close of the year s activities, the Orchestra will have appeared in a concert and in another graduation exercise. Any student who plays a musical instrument is eligible to join the Orchestra. With its present personnel, plus its new sets of music, this organization faces a promising future.

Despite the fact that the majority of the chorus were new members of the group this year, the T ri- ' V Chorus has made splendid progress under the direction of Miss Elizabeth R. Ogden. The requirements for membership in the Tri-Y Chorus are that the girl be a Tri-Y member and try out by singing before Miss Ogden and the chorus. This year try-outs were held each term. Miss Ogden selected those showing special talent. The old saying, “The early bird gets the worm,” holds true with these girls, foi their practices were held every morning at eight o’clock. 1 he Tri- Chorus has sung not only on school programs but also before leading civic organizations, thereby gaining a favorable repu¬ tation for the school, the Tri-Y Club, and themselves. stori a High School [ 54 ] f u mor 7 Pektui, Wirkkttnen, Zimmerman, Trench, Walker, Kepford, Mannila, Hoyt, Wygant, Nelson, Salisbury, Van Dusen. “VALLEY OF GHOSTS” DIRECTED BY MISS MAUD CROUTER Cast Minnie Strange Helen Wayne Sally Ann Lily Violet Elvira Vodd Mrs. Seott Jonathan Mack Jack Martin Pete ....
