Their never- ceasing efforts to help the students to a better understanding and appreciation of their respective subjects will undoubtedly keep alive in the minds of many students the memory of Miss Crouter, Miss Willsie, Miss Bergman, Mr. Towler, Mr. May, and Mr. Palmberg. The study of the social sciences is growing more important yearly, for in this field lies the way to solving the problems of present-day civilization, and, consequently, the way of restor¬ ing peace to a storm-ridden world. With this realization upper¬ most in our minds, we salute the Social Science Department. 141 I’hi l(i!;ra|ilu ' il In Allen S.iitrel, FOREWORD One of the highlights of any school year is the day the Zeph- yrus is issued to the students. Not content with this alone, the 1942 Staff hopes to make this year ' s book one of the bright spots of the students ' entire school life. In an extremely mod¬ ern book of which more and better snaps are an important feature, the story of the 1941-42 session has been told. Although this past year will be unforgettable because of world happenings, we have tried to recapture some of the more pleasant moments; and if in future years, glancing through the pages brings a smile of remembrance to your lips, we shall have succeeded. 151 SolJJiKliS ' CHORrS; lIAZEl.

[71 SALUTE to (lie Social 5ci ence Deparl;nnenl; This year when the world is in such turmoil seems the ideal time to place emphasis in our yearbook upon the Social Sci¬ ence Department. The study of man and his relationship to society has always been an im¬ portant one, but this year, even more does its significance im¬ press us. These courses do not take any deep excursions into the study of human relations, but they give a smattering of every¬ thing, enough to give each stu¬ dent an adequate background. One class might be delving into a conservation of natural re¬ sources, another carrying on research into misleading label¬ ling, or another memorizing basic emotions and desires, yet these courses all teach the same principles and truths. Many students find this infor¬ mation invaluable in their fur¬ ther education at college and just as many put it too good use on everyday problems. Tap: Mr. Tiiwlor, sncialoijy. Loft to I ' isrlit: Miss Bcririiian, social piol)- Icins; .Miss ( ' ranter, history; Mr. May, history; Mr. Paliiihcrg, social |)rablpms; Miss Wiilsio, social proli- Iciiis. Offered in our Social Science Department are courses in his¬ tory, social problems and soci¬ ology. There are six faculty members in this department including Mr. Towler, princi¬ pal. 18 ] Tup, 1(‘H to riulit : Social Prohlcins movie; Mr. Tt) vler’s sociology class; Miss BerEtman’s class does library work. Bottom row: Mr. May’s his tory recitatiem; (l ' ‘batr in Miss (’rou tor ' s room; projects vii ' wcd by Miss Willsio’s class. Up-to-the-minute movies—visual education— for the Social Science students modernize the telling of on age-old story in evolution. Mr. Polmberg ' s class enjoys a picture on the nat¬ ural rock formations of the southwestern port of the United States. Room 21 is popular, in¬ deed, for its social problems, a la cinema. We shall prove this statement in the first place to be false, is an oft repeated state¬ ment in the heated debates of Miss Crouters ' history classes. Questions of the day and prob¬ lems pertinent to the United States are given a thorough going-over in the debate mill of Room 29 arguments. Lengthy discussions on the primitive begin¬ nings of man and his reactions to discoveries rage back and forth in Mr. May ' s history 6 classes. Using members of the class as guinea pigs for problems, brings the classwork closer home. Monv a flustered student has been a prehistoric man of the moment. Delving into the mysteries of genes and inher¬ ited characteristics went Mr. Towlers ' sociol¬ ogy classes, and strangely enough, all emerged unharmed and smiling. Their study of the dif¬ ferences in people both outwardly and men¬ tally, of course, now mokes them oil amateur psychologists—but amateur! Reports on consumer problems, conservation, and labor are only a few of the subjects dealt with by Miss Bergman ' s social problems classes. In the library any period con be found students busily preparing their reports. The bulletin board in Room 1 1 blossoms forth continually with student projects and reports on matters of local social control. Two mem¬ bers of Miss Willsie ' s social problems class are shown examining the display. OUl!

HAMPTON While many of the student body do not come in direct contact with Superintendent Hamp¬ ton, nevertheless, they do feel the influence of Mr. Hampton ' s interest in oil those things that pertain to the welfare of Astoria high. Generally speaking, his problems lie outside the interest of the high school level. The stu¬ dents ' confidence in him is founded, moreover, on his unfailing efforts in backing up school athletics, productions, and publications, as the case may be. No problem for the bettering of Astoria schools is too large or too small for his attention, as is evidenced by his attend¬ ance at the various superintendents ' and teachers ' institutes throughout the year, where he seeks the best solutions 1o school problems. A frequent visitor to the school, Mr. Hampton is well liked by both students and faculty members. [Ill L D. TOWLER Every student finds it necessary at some time to make an excursion into the principal ' s office. Before he leaves he more than likely enjoys one of those friendly chats with the principal, Mr. Towler, whose spirit of comrade¬ ship is appreciated by those who have suffered from an overabundance of exuberance, as well as those who suffer merely an urge to use the office telephone. Under Mr. Towler ' s guidance as adviser of rhe Student Council, the student body enjoys as much freedom in management of school affoirs as they are able to absorb. His straight-from-the-shoulder presentation of facts concerning Astoria high serves to strengthen their confidence. When educa¬ tional activities call him away, it is during his absence that the whole high school system realizes its dependence on Mr. Towlers ' wise l eadership.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, with Principal Mr. Towler as adviser, has done a praiseworthy job in managing the major activities and business of the students. In doing so, they have brought five very educational national assemblies to our high school, made possible the holding of pep rallies, assembles, and dances, and have struggled over many important bills and documents. Don Hoff entered into the office of president well prepared to assume his dut ies, with the assistance of Eldred Mittet, Gerald Christensen, and Gerald Lokan, who answer to the titles of first, second, and third vice presidents. Both Janet Wilson, secretary, and Thelma Koski, treasurer, have efficiently and skillfully assisted Don. Eugene Sehaudt completes the council with his position as athletic manager. 1131 r ACU LTY Alien Bergman (.

JANUARY SENIORS In January, 1939, thirty-one alert students, just out of junior high school, entered Astoria high, to take over the traditional sorrows of a Sophomore. Surprisingly soon, however, the sor¬ rows turned into Junior joy, and finally into lofty Senior superiority, making the January Senior class of 1942. Choosing as class gavel-pounder, Allen Saiget; vice president, Warren Leback; secretary, Betsy Hendriksen; treasurer, Ingrid Seaborg, the Seniors, because of their small number, relin¬ quished their class play rights and sponsored two pay assem¬ blies instead, which were enthusiastically received. The class claimed ownership to two players on the school ' s 1941 basket- bail championship team, Rudy Lovvold and Ward Paldanius. These added to the pride with which the Seniors left their Alma Mater, each to seek his own way in life. 1151 I ' ai- loll, D ' .ok WriL ' ht, I’rosiilont, May Soiiiors. Lclt to riE;lit, Miss Allon.

MAY SENIORS Underclassmen sometimes hesitate to venture out on their own, but not so the May Seniors of 1942! Way back in 1939, as sassy Sophomores, they took things in stride with a gay Sophomore Hop. As Juniors, they drew in large crowds with a thrilling mystery play and gala prom. As graduating Seniors, they captured first place in the student body yell contest and presented a riotous comedy play. They were headed by Dick Wright, president, Stanley Williamson, vice president; Ger¬ trude Simonson, secretary; Noanie Morrison, treasurer. Leaving their high school experiences for the next in line to profit by, the Seniors doff their hats in farewell to Astoria high and prepare to grapple with the perplexing problems fac¬ ing them in the big, wide, world. 1161 lOlizahcth Hoicc, li( rii, rr«)ii((Lih Orri on; I ' u tur(‘, liusiiu ' ss Vora Broiiian, Born.

JUNIOR CLASS They ' re the Fighting 43rd! No, it ' s not an army unit, as it might seem, but the peppy motto of the energetic Junior Class, of Astoria high school. Composing their own class song and choosing their flying colors, blue and gold, the Juniors have already earned considerable fame with a prom, consid¬ ered the outstanding social event of the junior school year, and a mystery play, which broke many previous A.H.S. dra¬ matic records. Up-and-coming, also, are their class officers: Bob Kussman, president; Denny Thompson, vice-president; Louise Potreck, secretary-treasurer; and Robert Hjorten, sergeant-at-arms. The Juniors, with their boundless enthusiasm and initiative, are certain to set for themselves an enviable record in the annals of Astoria high history; so more power to them!

SOPHOMORES Now full-fledged citizens of Astoria high school, ore a batch of Sophomores inhabiting the lower regions of Astoria high. Occupying roll rooms one, two, six, seven, and Ihirty-one, the Sophs were soon initiated into the first hardships of being a member of the school. The girls dutifully wore green ribbons for several weeks, while the boys were set to the old and menial task of polishing the seals. Emerging quite unscathed from the traditional browbeatings, the Sophomores sponsored a dance after the Hood River-Astoria basketball gome, which was pro¬ nounced a great success. Sophs also showed the stuff they are made of when they took second place in the student body yell contest. Fnmt row. left to right: .McMillan, Mi. , Lavigno, B. .lofiansen, Carson, Ilenilrickson.

Newly organized, the Beta chapter of the Hi-Y ' s took over the sales on Thursday and, despite the small membership, made it pay. The Alpha chapter, headed by President Bob Kussman, presented another of their Sock Dances, and directed a paper drive for national defense. The Tri-Y Print and Cord dance and their knitting for the Red Cross were their outstanding activities of the year. Besides these accomplishments, the Hi-Y hotdogs every Friday and the Tri-Y hamburgers on Tuesday have become an established cus¬ tom for these organizations. 1351 5cro a ' r Left to right: Foote, Morri¬ son, Brunson, Wiss, Urell, Howell, Miss Curry, Vander- vehit.

It ' s one mad scramble for assignments, meeting deadlines, and discovering, at the eleventh hour, that the copy isn ' t right. But because virtue shall not go unrewarded, every deserving news-tracker joins the Quill and Scroll honorary organization. Starting this year with no membership, it now has seven members. First organized in 1926, the Torch Honor Society has each year awarded membership to a new fortunate E students. The total membership this year is twenty-six, with eleven sophomores added last fall. Their project for this year is to purchase a clock for the Commer¬ cial Department, with money earned from the sale of food. [ 36 ] How doth the little busy bee improve each shining hour?’ Ask Zephyrus Editor Foote, a master of the art, and Business Manager Layton, who knows her busy bees. Pat, a walking dynamo, fias sent this yearbook out into the world after weeks of work with the staff, hours of worry over assignment completions, and minutes of time in which to finish everything. But things turned out all right, as your new, streamlined annual suggests. Alxtvo, Pat Koote, Editor 11 4; Zt ' phyru ' ;. Et ' l ' t to riirtit.

A5TOR POST It was a battle never decisively finished, yet the staff was always in there hitting. The enemies—no news, no time, no anything_were successfully put to flight, only to return. General Jeanie Urell and her successor, Paul Vanderveldt, became masters of the battlefield and completed assignments riddled the enemy lines. But caution was nec¬ essary and Joan Howell went, geared for action, into the thick of the fray to refill the shoes of Assistant General Paul. 1381 CHORUSES Front row, h ' ft to ri?ht: Win- rlu ' strr, Sali hury, Hutclions.

One of the newly organized units is the Sophomore Chorus, which boasts seventy-two members. The three major activities of the combined choruses and the orchestra were the Christmas assembly, the baccalaureate and commencement exercises, and the spring concert. A concertized version of the opera Tannhauser was presented at their traditional annual appearance.

Complications pile upon complication when the local legend becomes known that the dwarf laughs whenever a death occurs in the hotel. Georgia Divine, owner, is about to close the hotel when strange people arrive in droves; Elias Grottingham, world-famous munitions maker and his attrac- ti vewife; Dr. Jackson Crane, a retiring invalid; several mysterious guests seeking a quiet vacation; and inspector Britt and Detective Wing.

From this point the play gathers momentous speed with a second murder and never lets up until the final amazing minute. cMay 5 ' en lor Plo Henry Aldrich 11111111111 Roger Tetlow Barbara Pearson 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Doris Bjork Mr. Bradley 11111111111 Leon Erickson Miss Shea 111111111111 Sally Cordz Mr. Nelson 1111111111 Harvey Anderson Miss Wheeler 1111111111 Noonie Morrison George Bigelow 1111111111 Claude Asquith Gertie 111111111111 Barbara Layton Mrs. Aldrich 11111111111 Marcia Miller Mr. Ferguson 1111111111 Wallace Everhart Miss Johnson 1111111111 Virginia Nopson Mr. Vecchitto 1111111111 Pete Antoniow Miss Eggleston 11111111111 Janet Wilson Bill 11111111111111 John Brunson Miss Pike 1111111111 Bernice Bakkensen Mary 111111111111 Geraldine Stephens Mr. Patterson 11111111111 Louis Ystad Director 111111111111 Miss Zoe Allen In the May Senior Play, What a Life, Henry Aldrich, the humorous, typical American boy, continues his amusing and touching episodes in a colorful, quick-moving play. Henry moves through the well known trials and tribula¬ tions of a normal adolescent. There is great sympathy and understanding of viewpoint of modern high school girls and boys written into this appealing play. Henry ' s ever entertaining escapades with his enemy, George Bigelow, and his efforts to raise the required amount of cash to enable him to take his girl, Barbara Pearson, to the Spring Dance leads Henry into a great deal of hot water. These and other incidents involves him in scrapes both serious and amusing and, on one occasion, makes it look as though he had actually stolen the school band instruments, until they are finally found pawned by Bigelow, Henry ' s enemy. 1431 Glut G.

Besides such traditional activities as sophomore initiation, ground clean-ups, and the kangaroo court, their most outstanding achievement was to introduce the pep song, The Fighting Fishermen before the assembly. Informality, friendliness, good sportsmanship, and spirited competi¬ tion is the G.A.A. ' s keynote. Through Marian McMindes ' leadership and Miss Girod ' s advisership, they have sustained and increased the interest of many girls in the physical education program. 1441 and Mi?5| interest of SPOCTS FOOTBALL Under the able leadership of Coach Norville May, the Astoria high school football squad of 1941 drove and powered themselves out of an early season list of defeats to a victorious windup over some of the powerhouse squads of the state. With two-thirds of the season behind them, the Fishermen gridsters had the heartbreaking record of but two wins in six contests; however, with a tiewly acquired burst of spirit and power, they accomplished cleaning their slate by decisive victories in their remaining three contests. May ' s Mudders added a perfect climax to their slow-starting season with o 1 4 to 7 victory over the powerful eleven from Ashland, which was rated tops in the state after defeating Medford. The other two wins at the close of the season included one over Tillamook, 38 to 0, and one in Seaside, where the Fishermen took a 19 to 0 decision over the Gulls. Probably the hardest contest of the schedule was the annual Salem-Astoria tilt in which the Vikings narrowly dumped the Astoria eleven, 14 to 7, and provided the closest and most exciting game of the year. Well over half the Fishers ' squad was composed of inexperienced Juniors and Sophomores who, after the first few games of the season, acquired the neces¬ sary experience to make their abilities useful. Of these players, the 1942 backfield will be composed entirely of players with one full year of experience in working together.

Bottom row: Football banquet; Mr. May dreams up a [day; Coaches confab; Eugene, Nick, Ray, and John, the managers. Coach May, with his able assistant, Carl Kahle, was the one who showed the way for our ' 41 footballers. Perky will remain in the hearts of all of us long after we grad¬ uate for he is a friend, adviser, and all around pal of every high school boy. To take care of equipment and look after minor injuries on the football field is the manager ' s task. Eugene Schaudt and his assistants, Nick, Ray and John, did a good job in this department. Under the bright floodlights of the Gyro Field the Fisher¬ men again trod the muddy turf and in the cold fall air the fighting Astorians battle to win another victory. When the Fishermen go on a trip the peppy students of Astoria high are always there to give them a good heart¬ warming send off. Pictured above is a typical sendoff rally on the Astoria high school lawn. Rest IS needed more than anything else to win football games.

In so doing, the smooth but scrappy defending titleholders placed a per¬ fect climax on their brilliant season in which they won 22 of the 26 games played. Astoria ' s season included victories over some of the most powerful quintets in the Northwest. The most important of their wins included two over Tilla¬ mook, which was the team to beat to determine which would represent the newly rearranged District 10 at the Tourney. Also in the course of the season, the battling basketeers trounced Salem ' s Vikings in three of their four con¬ tests. The fourth was taken by the Vikings from a raw and inexperienced second team which Palmberg played for three quarters. One of the four defeats encountered by the mighty Finns came at the hands of the University of Oregon Frosh, who downed them with a two-point margin, but this defeat was avenged by the Palmbergers a bit later in the season with o decisive victory over the Oregon State Rooks. Many other powerful and smooth quintets fell before the terrific onslaught of the five boys whom Palmberg molded into a team comparable to and later termed better than, the famous Flying Finns of the days when Honest John Warren was coach¬ ing for A.H.S.

Coptain Eben Parker, all-state second team center. Rube Wirkkunen, another all-stater, and Stan Williamson, all state forward, accounted for most of the season ' s total points, and Rube and Eben maintained almost complete control of the backboards. Jack Love was the defensive standout of the squad, as well as a heavy scorer during the season. Cliff Crandall, junior guard and a smooth ball-handler, rounds out the great basketball quintet. Essential to any championship team are the steady, reliable reserves. Headed by lanky Don Hoff, reserve center and forward, George Crandall, guard, Kenny Seeborg, guard and forward. Buddy Langhardt, guard, and Fred Lee, guard, the reserves contributed much to the team ' s success.
