Principal S. D. Zowkr J avigator Zowlcr Js Consulted Uy Crew Kegarding Course £ 5 September 27 brought the usual rush of students to Principal Towler ' s office for schedule adjustments. 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

Civewires Collect StudcMl Zam Roll room livewires started the ball rolling in the fall of ' 44 by collect¬ ing student body fees and canvassing for Zephyrus subscriptions. 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.
