What Senior will forget the experience of preparing speeches for the Bill of Rights assembly? The joy of leaving the school to the ghosts and the underclassmen on Senior picnic day? The solemnity of marching down the aisle in a cap and gown? Will any Junior forget the thrill of producing his first high school class play or of preparing for the Junior Prom- Can the Sophs ever forget how ghastly the girls looked with green ribbons on their hair and with no make-up? Or the fun of just plain being in high school? What about the time that A.H.S. elected President Roose¬ velt? What about the district tournament? The high school carnivaP The peppy assemblies? These are the experiences that the students will remember as being typical of high school life. 5 1. Books of the Montii. 2. Disecting worms. 3. Dear Sir:. 4. Guinea pig rats. 5. Trig—X Y-Z. 0.

Dedicated to Democracy miction ... in classes As every pleasant day of school goes by, We gain an understanding through the way We study all our subjects and express Our thoughts in this great struggle for fair play. We find a freedom as we study here: A chance to find and reach each distant goal, To show we ' ve got the stuff it takes to make A nation worthy of its famous role. We look to classes, teachers, and our school To make our future flights show sharp and clear; And that sweet freedom found right now Will linger in our minds each future year, it ' s here in school we learn to tolerate And then forgive mistakes and show our love To all who are around us. Surely, we know That we must work to reach these heights above Which are our goals; and now mid work and play. Development of mind and body show That we can handle all that fate can give As we help freedom expand and grow. Joyce Tverberg ' 45. 6 in activities The jangling bell has rung, and school is out. Hurrah! the shackles fall away; we ' re free To work or loaf, to plan, to win or fail. To be exactly what we want to be. And as we strive to lead our groups and clubs To make of them, a thing to match our pride. We know we ' re cultivating hearts and minds That work toward the best—that won ' t abide With that which cannot match our high flung goals. Our personalities will either be So straight and true or warped with ugly greed. We find that we must choose nobility Or cowardice. We must show hope to those Who find their way in strange, confused unrest; For while we work with friends, both new and old We show a light for all the world ' s depressed. So here we slowly plan and train our lives Where freedom ' s flaming branch is held on high; For life belongs to youth who work in fun Since it ' s on us the world must now rely. Joyce Tverberg ' 45. 7 Superintendent J. C. Mampton Pilot MamptoH Sees Sducation Js Zoivor Sigml Along with other administrators all over the country, Superintendent Hampton ' s year was filled with two types of problems. There were those con¬ cerned with maintaining a war time education program and those concerned with the education needs for the period of adjustment in the post war days. Like other superintendents, Mr. Hampton was faced with the task of teacher replacement every so often; however, the senior high school suffered no losses. The Defense School was continued this year with fifty boys enrolled. Those from Astoria High were scheduled for a half day at the Defense School for pre-induction training. Plans for the peace time days are underway. There is an especial interest in the physical education set-up and the vocational program. A vocational center, which will serve high school students, adults, and returned servicemen definitely under consideration. A survey for such a center has been made ' This survey is being used as a pattern for other states. As usual Superintendent Hampton arranged for special teachers ' meet¬ ings and made it possible for A.H.S. teachers to participate in an in-service training program. Mr. Hampton also gave his support to a series of lectures carrying college credit. 8 PRINCIPAL STUDENT COUNCIL LIVEWIRES ASTOR POST FACULTY CLASS OFFICERS CLUB PRESIDENTS TEEN AGE CLUB Plotting the Course Mtographs Principal S.

Programs had been forecast the previous spring, but transfers, part time workers, and vocational students, as well as others, had problems that needed ironing out. Because of shifting Navy personnel more students than usual transferred this year. Many boys now in the service took advantage of the United States Armed Forces Institute to complete their high school work. The student body participated in bond drives, clothing drives, and in the March of Dimes. The school joined the Junior Red Cross 100 per cent, and earned the Schools-at-War flag. The shop classes made many articles for the wounded at the Navy Hospital. Clubs aided in the Christmas Seal sales and at the blood donor center. An expansion of some activities and the addition of others are being planned. Equipment and directing personnel have to be secured. Principal Towler gave the usual service examinations. 9 DON HOGG President DOROTHY SAMUELSON Secretary WAYNE DEAVER Vice President PHYLLIS SALMONSEN Treasurer Crew Qoes to Work Astoria High ' s administrative crew is composed of the student council and flight officer, Principal E. D. Towler. The council can be credited with a successful year for they managed every financial situation with great efficiency. They sit at the controls which operate a fleet of other student body activities, a few of which are the issuing of student body cards at the beginning of the year, determining how much admission should be charged for game tickets, and introducing projects to the school clubs. Don Hogg held the position of president until he was called for the service. Peeling off the formation to pick up the gavel, came Wayne Denver, the first vice president. The remaining part of this little squadron consists of second vice president, Howard Lovvold; third vice president, Ronald Lattin; secretary, Dorothy Samuelson; treasurer, Phyllis Salmonsen, and the athletic manager, Joe Bakkensen.

One of the chief activities of the livewires is to collect money for the annual. Under the able direction of Business Adviser Miss Vesta Lamb and Business Manager Jeanette Larson, the livewires were in need of a battery recharge by May, after accounting for Zephyrus money and helping at the end of the year to distribute the three hundred and eighty ordered copies of the year book. They also mailed out annuals to the 1944 alumni of Astoria High who are now in the service. It is the duty of the livewires to stimulate enthusiasm in the various roll rooms by announcing extra curricular activities and drives. Among those promoted were voluntary Red Cross donations, drives for coat hangers, ash trays, and Christmas tree ornaments for the Naval Hospital, and clothes for the devastated countries of Europe. The livewires did much to help encourage the sale of War Stamps and Bonds. Miscellaneous duties include seeing that the roll rooms are orderly and that the overdue library slips are distributed. The livewires were a very essen¬ tial group for they coped with all unexpected and planned activities which were encountered during the school year. They may well be proud of their contributions to the running of the school. The livewires from the various classes and roll rooms were as follows: Sophomores, Susan Cook, room 5; Ronald Lattin, room 29; Betty Lowrey, room 12; Louise Wilson, room 13; Juniors, Harry Frame, room 1; Arlene Larson, room 28; Jean O ' Bryan, room 25; Avis Roberts, room 26; Seniors, Earl Fedje, room 2; Helen Koe, room 24. Roll room 23 was deprived of its able livewire, Ronald Trenholm, who left for Oregon State in January. LEFT TO lilCiHT: Ailono Larson, Hi ' tt.v Lowroy, .loan O ' Bryan, .Avis Boliorls.

To give instruction in publishing a paper and to help those who plan to continue journalism in college, a journalism class with credits was organized for the second year. The bulk of the Astor Post work was done by the class members, but credit must also be given those Flunkies who stayed to help put the paper to bed on deadline days. On February 26, the class adopted a soldier, Hannibal. To supply him with food Miss Curry and each student bought fifty cents worth of war stamps each week. When Bob Kendall, advertising manager, entered college in January, Miss Anna Marie Friedrich, business adviser, and the adver¬ tising department were handicapped. Marion Sorenseri, business man- ager, and Harry Sorensen, assistant advertising manager, helped out with the oid of on ombitious group of Sophomores A hard working and generous business staff made it possible to dress up the pages with an unusual number of photographs and a comic strip A bouquet should be given Charlotte Johnson for the art work and Wayne Saiget for the photographs. fourteen editions, the Astor Post staff spon- sored a Sixth War Loan drive, netting $6,094.85, and held a March of Dimes dance, yielding $45 to the Infantile Paralysis drive 12 journalism Class FIRST R(HV: SeeRorif, Klei ' i ' r, Seebort;, Williams, Bakkpiispn, Miller, Branthuver.

Because of the efforts of a wide awake jaurnalism class, this years ' issues of the Astor Post were marked by a distinct improvement in the quality of material, the make-up, and in the general organization. More emphasis was placed on the Junior High page. To brighten up this section. Editor Joyce Kleger used linoleum block cuts. In the spring term a comic strip was added. Thanks to the efforts of Char¬ lotte Johnson. The traditional gossip column was successfully eliminated by Assistant Editor Mary Williams, who substituted various types of columns playing up peronalities. By request the Three L ' il Fishers were continued. For variety, however, in addition to silhouettes, block cuts and even photographs were used in this column. To add interest to stories of outstanding school events, photo¬ graphs taken of the various activities were a welcome addition to the front page. The Tournament issue, picturing the first string of the basketball team along with their baby pictures, accompanied by inter¬ views of the mothers, drew the greatest reader interest. The front page was further enlivened with interviews of notables such as Gov¬ ernor Snell and United States Senator Wayne Morse. ' When Bill Lausch found it necessary to resign as sports editor two journalism students Mary Lou Bakkensen, Senior, and Caroline Branthover, Junior, took over the responsibility. At midterm how¬ ever, Howard Reeher, Sophomore, became sports editor. Lm R Claivnce Larsen, Howard Rerhrr Lou Bakkensen.

Many of the classroom activities centered around research, forums, and discussions on such current topics as the United Nations and Education. By these means the teachers endeavored to help the students meet their own problems and to broaden their thinking to a worldwide scope. In order to lead the students, the teachers had to keep a step ahead with their own knowledge. In their professional meetings they carried on a study comparing Chinese, Russian, and Mexican schools with American schools, and also conducted a study of the book, Education for All American Youth . Among other surveys, Mr. Cox served on a committee of teachers which compared the teachers ' salaries with those of teachers in other cities the size of Astoria. Miss Bergman ' s social problems class held a round table discussion for the faculty on the subject of education. Department meetings of senior high and junior high teachers helped coordinate the work of all three junior highs with the senior high school. Several of the teachers were fortunate enough to attend In-service Confer¬ ences of the mathematics and science departments. Along with these activities, the faculty devoted time to war work at the Ration Board, U.S.O., and hospitals. All things considered, the teachers were busy in school and out, keeping abreast of the latest trends in education.

Personnel Points the Way What is more important in developing the spirit of democracy than encouraqina cooperation? And what ,s a better example of cooperation than that between the teaXrs and the students of A.H.S., especially in extracurricular activities? Each teacher acts in an advisory capacity for one or more of the service clubs dro matic productions, athletic organizations, and publications. Before school during the noon interval, and after school, teachers meet with student committees triav nlans for student participation in activities which provide normal and wholesome outlets for vouth stud n?s.

In three years their number dwindled to eighty-six. While Sophomores, they were rudely uprooted by the school fire and forced to attend classes in three buildings. The class was active in the war effort. Many of the Seniors had after-school jobs. All members of the class belonged to the Junior Red Cross. They collected clothes hangers, Christmas tree ornaments and ash trays for the Naval Hospital. Seniors took part in two paper drives and the collection of clothes. They bought and sold war bonds. As Seniors they innovated public round table discussions and the omission of flowers and gifts at Commencement exercises. They also held a mock presidential election. Neither pins nor rings were ordered because the students thought the tradition unpatriotic this year. As this year ' s class march down the aisles of the U.S.O., in the almost traditional blue caps and gowns, they can be assured that they are well equipped to meet the challenges of the present and the future.

With the able assistance of the class president, Howard Lovvold, they came out on top. The Juniors continued their bond and stamp selling in cooperation with the other classes and through various clubs. To increase student interest in succeeding war drives the Juniors put on an assembly program including a Schools-at-War skit. The highlight of the year was the class play, another three-act mystery thriller. With Miss Maud Crouter directing, the cast distinguished themselves in their production of Mumbo Jumbo . Vernon Griffin and Clarence Parker shared the lead. Slated for April 20, the 1945 Junior Prom was one of the outstanding events of the school year. The class transformed the gym into an interior setting of a southern colonial mansion. Louise Hughes was general chairman and Delores Becker, decorating chairman. As Sophomores the class of ' 46 put on the traditional Sophomore Hop With Howard Lovvold as prexy, the class was organized and its talent put into action in the Amateur Hour and other assemblies. The Juniors will be back next year to continue their activities and to fill the Senior ranks. 18 Club Ccaders Sleeted PRESIDENTS: FIRST ROW—Deba Drams, June Seeborg; Tri V, Marion Sorensen; Girls ' League, Pricilla Berry; Home Ec, Gerry Weaver; G.A.A., .loyce Kleger.

FOOTBALL HISTORY FOOTBALL PERSONNEL BASKETBALL HISTORY BASKETBALL PERSONNEL Playing the Qame Autographs Jootball In a season full of ups and downs the Fishermen came through their schedule of eight football games with four losses and four wins on their record. Coached by Bill Bowers and Brick Grayum, the boys won all but one of their home games, played on Gyro Field. For the first time in years, Gyro Field was without rain during every game. When traveling, the Fishermen played on muddy fields in practically every contest. Opening the season, Naselle was swamped 24 to 0. A week later, the Fishermen repeated with a win over llwaco, 19-0. Then the team lost two road games —Milwaukie salvaged a 26 to 6 win and The Dalles a 3 1 to 6 victory. At home again the Fishermen fought Seaside in a tense game, finishing on the long end of a 7 to 0 score. At Tillamook, the Fishermen sneaked a 6 to 0 win. In the last game of the season and the last home game. Hood River dunked the Fishermen 13 to 0. ( ' (). rH •BILL BOWKIiS Dick Bumala, Chuck Bergman, Harry Frame, Earl Fedje, and Eldon Korpela stand out as stars, but it took perfect teamwork to earn the reputation the Fishermen own, never give up . Thirteen Seniors played their last season of high school football. They were Bob Kearney, Bob Kendall, Chuck Bergman, Eldon Korpela, Earl Fedje, George Olsen, Ronald Trenholm, Don Hogg, Don Hansen, Gordon Gerttula, Fuzzy Foster, Ed Burnett, and Bob Frame.

He tipped the scales at 200. DICK BUMALA, Junior, and a two-year letterman, will strengthen Astoria ' s team next year. EARL FEDJE, Senior, worked with the team to earn fullback position in his last year of football. HARRY FRAME, Junior and fullback, like his brother Bob, gave his support by taking the ball against the opposing teams. GORDON GERTTULA, Senior, played his first year of eleven-man football to grab down an end position and gave his support to the Fighting Fishermen eleven. BILL GUNDERSON, big Junior, strengthened the Fishermen at either guard or tackle positions. BOB HAGERUP, Junior, held up Astoria ' s forward wall at tackle. ALBIN IHANDER, a big and fast guard-tackle. He is a good defensive player. ELDON KORPELA, Senior halfback, smallest man in the backfield and an expert at tackling, worried the opposition with his dangerous broken-field running. HOWARD LOVVOLD, Junior, dependable end. His uncanny ability led the Fishermen ' s aerial attack. GEORGE OLSEN, Senior, number one of Fishermen centers, blocked up on the Olsen, Johnson, Hanson combination 190 pounds ' worth of Astoria ' s line. 34 basketball The 1944-45 basketball season closed with a total of twenty wins and eleven losses, but the score does not tell the whole story. Of the eleven losses, seven of the games were played out of town. They were lost by an overage of only five points. The Fishermen won their first four games. The following week, however, they lost to Milwaukie 41-30 for their first set back, but they came back strong to down Vernonia 54-47. The next week a double header was split, with Hood River taking the first 36-29 and with Astoria taking the second 41-32. Following came a series of four wins when the Fishers dunked the Star of the Sea 30-27 and Westport 32-15. Scappoose then fell to the Fighting Finns 31-38, and Seaside 27-24. Two losses, a double header, and one win resulted from their next three games.: A double header was dropped to Salem, 30-24 and 38-28, which was followed by a win over llwoco 39-29. St. Helens beat the locals there 22-20 only to be beaten 34-1 9 on the Astoria court, after the Fishers had beaten Rainier 29-26. The double header at Hood River was dropped, 42-36 and 39-3 1, as well as a single to Rainier, 26-22. In the best-played games of the season, Astoria took the Salem double header, 37-34 and 30-29. The Fishers suffered two heartbreakers: one to Seaside 41-38; the other to Milwaukie 37-32. They made up for their defeat by taking Westport 49-28, Hillsboro 30-24, and llwaco 42-30. In the District Tournament the Fishermen took Tillamook 39-32, but lost to Hillsboro 39-36 after having beaten them twice previously. Astoria then took Beaverton 49-24 to take third place. They placed three men on the District All Star five. FIHST HOW; Stratton. Mattson, Winnin liain, Morgan, Olson, Pokkala.

GIRLS ' LEAGUE MUSIC DEPARTMENT PEP CLUB AND DEBA DRAMS HI-KNIGHTS AND LIBRARY CLUB TRI-Y Hl-Y JUNIOR AND SENIOR PLAY HOME EC AND VOCATIONAL CLUB A CLUB AND G.A.A. TORCH HONOR QUILL AND SCROLL ZEPHYRUS CABINET Mghtenmg the Hours f (jirls ’ Ccague The Girls ' League, an all-student club for girls in high school, carried out its traditional program again this year with great success. One of the first events of the fall term was the Big and Little Sister party, to which each Sophomore girl was escorted by a Junior or Senior Big Sister. This party started off a whole year of activities. Although there were comparatively few meet¬ ings, one each six weeks, the ones that were held were outstanding events because of the entertaining programs presented. These included speakers, musical programs, and a program by the Spanish class. A registered nurse spoke on the advantages of Cadet Nursing; Miss Jo Schwab, an alumna and an overseas Red Cross recreational director, told about her adventures, par¬ ticularly in Wales and in France. Something new this year was the presen¬ tation of three assemblies by the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore girls respec¬ tively. % Continuing an activity inaugurated last year, the Girls ' League sold pencils to raise money to buy supplies for the Dean ' s room. This year the sale of cough drops was introduced. At Christmas time the tree, put uo and decorated by the Girls ' League, was the center for the carol singing in the main hall. In the Schools-at-War program the girls did their part by taking charge of bond and stamp sales during the month of May. Miss Isabel Willsie, Girls ' League adviser, and Priscilla Berry, president, with the help of the other officers—Gerry Weaver, vice president; Dorothy Samuelson, secretary; Charlotte Johnson, treasurer, and Joyce Johnson, assistant treas¬ urer—kept the Girls ' League running smoothly through the year.

Under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Ogden, the Choruses carried on the high standard of music in their year ' s activities. The Christmas assembly, begun with an impressive candle light procession, consisted of numbers from the Music of Bethlehem. The entire department of ninety- three girls participated. The Junior-Senior Special Chorus sang Christmas carols at the Navy Hospital. This group also provided music for the Christmas meeting of the American Association of University Women. In February the combined choruses presented a concert in the Methodist Church. Outstanding numbers on the program were the Stephen Foster Fantasie , the andante cantabile movement of Tschaikovsky ' s Fifth Sym¬ phony arranged for three-part women ' s voices from Lorraine Findley ' s poem, The Light of Dawning , and Our Glorious America . Miss Ogden, besides directing, sang a solo, Ave Maria . The Junior-Senior Special Chorus sang two popular choral numbers, the Sleigh and Sparkling Sunlight , as part of a program presented for the Rotarians in honor of their fortieth year as an organization. A portion of this program was broadcast over K.A.S.T. Earlier in the season this Chorus gave a Lobby Pop Concert at the U.S.O., entertained the Lewis and Clark P.-T.A., and sang at the John Jacob Astor Thanksgiving assembly. To promote the sale of bonds and stamps the entire department fur¬ nished the music for a pageant sponsored by the Library Club, Tri-Y Cabinet and the Hi-Y Club.

It has three acts of hilarious nonsense, with crime elements entangled in the farce of a college boy, and two small-town sheriffs, who were unable to solve the crimes for battling over right of jurisdiction. The play is packed with Voodoo rites, a mysterious blind man, a beautiful girl under a hypnotic spell, a hidden fortune, and all other factors that make a successful mystery drama. ... cast Mrs. Sarah Reynolds John Reynolds - Dick Reynolds - Pee-Wee Smith - Tweety - - - _ Harold Custer - - - Mrs. Custer - - - Mr. Peter Bramish Doctor Gaza Omahardra Kay Samedi Madame Celesta Peaches Greeding - Lem Marblehead - Miss Emma Burpee Daisy ----- Shirley Mathre Howard Lovvold Clarence Parker Vernon Griffin Joyce Johnson Harry Sorensen Molly Thompson Eugene Morgan John Ducich Nancy Nelson Helen Mars Dorothy Agidius Jim Winningham Annie Jean Jarvis Arlene Larson 46 “junior Miss ’’ ...

Besides conspiring to solve this imagined triangle, Judy and her bosom pal. Puffy, are trying to grow up and wangle dates for a dance.

It has set a high standard for Astoria high school both in scholastic achievements and par¬ ticipation in activities. The nineteen members this year have all met the grade and citizenship requirements. They are under the able leader¬ ship of Gloria Engbretson, president, and Miss Mary McCann, adviser. The membership dropped from last years ' thirty-four to nineteen this year. The decrease was partly due to smaller classes. The Torch Honor has one meeting a month, which is held in room 24.

These members, June Seeborg, Judith Seeborg, and Charlotte Johnson, held all the various offices as the need arose, from president all the way down the line to janitor. This organization gave way toward spring, and adopted into its circle, five neophytes, including Marion Sorensen, Mary Williams, Mary Lou Bakkensen, Cherie Miller, and Joyce Kleger. These were properly initiated and inducted at Miss Curry ' s secret rendezvous, where a formal candlelight ceremony made new members of them. Students must have done superior work in journalism, and have had a certain number of inches printed in order to qualify; also they must be in the upper third of their class. Those approved receive pins.
