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

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.
