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.

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

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
