Teen¬ agers of 1946. Starting by picturing the places where the young timers worked, played, served, and studied, the Zephyrus Staff has continued the narrative with a picture pre¬ face which gives a resume of both class room and extra curricular activities. The story itself has been divided into five chapters: the administration, the classes, the activities, the sports, and the honor roll. rr Moments to Uemcmber ... Supcmtendent Jk. C. MamptOH Bringing the school through the war period without losing any of its vital ser¬ vices. That is the accomplishment of A. C. Hampton, superintendent of city schools. Under the supervision of Mr. Hamp¬ ton, a Vocational Department in co-op¬ eration with the State Vocational De¬ partment was established. This de¬ partment is rendering a splendid ser¬ vice. Through the co-ordinator, Henry L. Robb, 98 veterans ' applications and agreements were approved on a train¬ ing program, and also, a Gas Engine class for adults with an enrollment of 1 1 and an adult radio class of 22 people have been organized. Mr. Hampton ' s emphasis on voca¬ tional guidance was rewarded with a total enrollment of 46 for Trades and Industries. Under his guidance a special class was organized for students under eighteen years of age who have not finished high school. In co-operation with the Exten¬ sion Department of the Oregon State System of Higher Education, two extension courses were conducted. The first course, Frontiers of Science, reached an en¬ rollment of seventy, and the second course. International Relations, began with an enrollment of forty-seven. To complete a successful year, Mr. Hampton was privileged to attend the regional meetings of Social Administrators in New York City and Chicaao in March.

PriHcipal S. X). Xowler Mr. Towler, supervisor over all the teen-agers of Astoria High, has been a very busy man this year—so busy, in fact, that one almost needed an appointment to see him. He did a good job and kept the school running smoothly and efficiently. Not only did he work in school but also participated in activities and organizations outside of school. This year, the office was confronted with numerous transfers as civilians and military personnel came through our seaport. The many returning veterans and a great increase in the number of vocational students made the highschool office a very busy place. The work of the school was further broadened because of the compulsory school law, which caused many older students to return to school. An additional service this year, the school cafeteria, was made possible through the efforts of the Parent-Teachers ' Association. Since the meals were subsidized another load was put on Mr. Towler ' s shoulders.

Jaculty Working with and for the teen-agers, the faculty have filled out a full program of relationships that will be bearing fruit years beyond 1946. As a teacher and friend in the class rooms, as advisers of clubs, as directors of plays, and supervisors of sports, the teaching staff has striven toward definite and specific goals in their work. When the 1946 Seniors march across the platform to receive their diplomas, each teacher will hope that he or she has been successful, to a degree at least, in inspiring in each graduate a desire for knowledge and the perfecting of skills; the development of taste for the finer things of life; on awareness of the importance of attitudes; and the realization of the essentiality of so¬ ciability .... the wherewithal for building a wholesome personality.

Student Uody Officers The student council is the control¬ ling group. Through the efforts of this organization all the activities and the policies of the student body are co-ordinated. Principal E. D. Towler is its adviser and honorary member, who sits in on every meeting. Howard Lovvold, the man with the gavel, is the president. Bill Gunderson, the vice-president, stands beside him ready to take over if the president cannot preside. Delores Becker, the secretary, keeps the records of each meeting; and Jean O ' Bryan, the trea¬ surer, makes the financial ends meet. Other members of the council con¬ sist of the second vice-president, Jerry Williams; the third vice-president, Du¬ ane Hansen; and the athletic man¬ ager, Joe Bakkensen. The three vice presidents are in reality representa¬ tives of the sophomore, junior and senior classes. The first vice-presi¬ dent is the senior; the second, the junior and the third, the sophomore. Within the walls of Mr. Towler ' s inner office, the student council meets for discussions. There under the lead¬ ership of Howard Loyvold, the group censiders all expenditures of student body funds, the details involved in elections, and the problems relating to entertainment. In general, the council looks after the welfare of the students of the high school and brings questions before the student body when they seem necessary. The s ' ' udent council also awards athletic let ' ers and puts on many assemblies. This year the student officers have accomplished much. And so the books ore closed on another year of success.

They also held the annual Sophomore Hop, which netted them $19. By collecting prizes for the bond auction and by promoting the sale of war stamps and bonds, the class helped to put over the scheduled bond drives. A change in the system of class advisership caught the class of ' 46 in their senior year. Continuing with the able advisers of their junior year, the graduating class presented the com- sdy. The Miracle Twins, and polished off the year with the Senior Ball, carrying out the Christmas motif. In their traditional blue caps and gowns, as this year ' s class marches down the aisles to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance, Astoria High will see another group of teen-agers go out to be absorbed by a challenging world.

Miss Zoe Allen. Following tradi tion, the Deba Drams presented the annual Amateur Hour during the fall term. This event re¬ veals much of the hidden talent of the teen-agers, especially among the sophomores. In addition to their Am¬ ateur Hour, the Deba Drams spon¬ sored a school dance in Patriot Hall, assisted in sending out letters con¬ taining tuberculosis seals, and helped with the Junior Red Cross project.

Cibrary Club The Library Club, presided over by Miss Halderman, has charge of one of the most frequently visited places —the rooms where the teen-agers go to study, read, or do research work. The club has a membership of 14 juniors and seniors, headed by the president, Louise Hughes; vice-presi¬ dent, Mollv Thompson; and secretary- treasurer, Lennah Parker. A period a day is spent by each member, help¬ ing the librarian check out books, put away returned books, collect fines for overdue books, and check the shelves. Buying a phonograph for the use of the entire student body was this year ' s goal. The purchase was made with the money taken in from fines and the school store. To become eliaible for membership, a student must have high grades, an interest in books, and must be dependable. first HOW: Lowrey, Th ' inipson, Parker, Hughes, Miss Halderman.

Secretary - treasurer Stan Grimberg was kept busy taking down minutes or straightening out financial diffi¬ culties. The meetings were kept un¬ der control by Sergeant-at-Arms War¬ ren Mattson. Mr. Stranz, the adviser, gave advice whenever it was needed. He has served as the A Club ad¬ viser for one year. The A Club promoted the sale of football and basketball game pro¬ grams and kept the lawn and emblems about the school clean by inviting the lowly sophomores outside during the lunch period.

The members carried out their traditional activity of taking tickets at school games. Spon¬ soring their annual sock dance and the publishing of the Fisherman ' s Log are considered as two of their outstanding achievements of the year. President Clarence Parker was assist¬ ed by Gordon Olsen, vice-president; Wayne Saiget, secretary and historian; Walter Nelson, treasurer; Delbert Sig- fridson, sergeant-at-arms; and Albin lhander, chaplain.

Support¬ ed by a wide-awake journalism class, editor, Mary Williams; assistant editor, Nancy Joseph- son; and adviser. Miss Fern Curry, struggled through deadlines to emerge with a record of 14 issues published. To lighten the editors ' duties, headlining was placed under the supervision of Lisbeth Trullinger, who guided Soph Cubs in this capacity and also established files for general staff use. Ann Bowler compiled news articles from the three junior high schools. Reith ' s Review was maintained by Sports Editor John Reith. Due to the efforts of photography editar, Wayne Saiget, the paper sparkled with an un¬ usual number of photographs.

ESTHER SIMONSON OSCAR HAGLUND CLARENCE BISHOP Business Manager Assistant Editor Editor This issue of the Zephyrus, which brought many a worry to Editor Clarence Bishop and his staff, marks the 49th year of publication. Despite the war ' s end Clarence, his cabinet, and adviser. Miss Curry, were faced with shortages and high costs. Plans for an elaborate annual were scuttled. Every week round-table meetings were held where themes, layout, and copy were put to the test. A modern design was decided upon and the usual division pages were replaced by snap pages. After the staff had carefully laid out each page of the dummy, it was sent to Hicks- Chatten Engraving Company, where experts drew the book to scale and put on the finishing touches. Then the real work started. Seniors and juniors had individual pictures taken, and for the first time in the history of the Zephyrus, group pictures were taken in the gym instead of on the front steps of the building. Larger groups were divided into sections, and practic¬ ally all groups were taken in one day. Assisted by Oscar Haglund, Clarence worked to picture all angles of the Teen-agers ' life. Photographer Wayne Saiget shot the snaps; Joyce Johnson, Arlene Larson, Louise Hughes, Audrey Larson, Dorothy Bergman, Dorothy Agidius, Shirley Ma- thre, Elmo Rae Olson, and Delores Becker wrote the stories; Howard Simonsen, Oscar Haglund and Elmer Koski recorded the sports history. Esther Simonsen, with her adviser. Miss Vesta Lamb, is to be credited with successfully managing the financial end of the book. Finding a suitable caption for the theme plagued the staff all year. It must be snappy; it must be comprehensive; it must feature the Teen-ager Finally one clicked: Teens Of Our Time.

All year a civil war raged, each group contending for pri¬ ority rights in the office. If fhe Zephyrus staff wanted to use a type¬ writer, the A.P. Editor put on a sob story about some dead-line. The Zephyrus people literally boiled with anger when this happened. Clarence Bishop and Oscar Hag- lund stood up under many a battle with their newspaper rivals, Mary Wil¬ liams and Co. If the battle became too rough. Miss Curry rolled up her sleeves and brought the situation under con¬ trol. Wayne Saiget, photographer - de¬ luxe, was claimed by both staffs. And when the Astor Post swiped a pic¬ ture from the Zephyrus, hair could be seen flying in all directions in the little office.

Quill and Scroll An impressive formal candle-light ceremony, held in the Home Ec. room on March 28, highlighted the Quill and Scroll year as 15 neophytes be¬ come full-fledged members of the Na¬ tional Journalism Honorary Society. This group was one of the largest ever to be initiated in the 16-year history of the organization. Because of the small membership during most of the year, the society was on an inactive basis, ' however it did sponsor an amendment to the student body constitution regarding the nomination of the Astor Post as¬ sistant editor. To become eligible for membership the candidate must be a junior or senior must have done superior work on either the Astor Post or Zephyrus must be in the upper third of his class ' and musf be accepted by the National secretary. Because requirements are so high membership is limited. first ROW: Siiiionsen, Bishop son, Larsen. SECOND ROW ■ Trullinger, Bowler, Sorenson, hanisen.

Ernie Stranz hails from Mossy Rock, Washington. He began his coaching career in college. At one time he coached at Astor Junior High in As¬ toria. From Astor he went to Mossy Rock and remained there until his present return to Astoria. Ernie ' s foot¬ ball team had one of its best records since the war began. Wally Palmberg returned from the Navy after 35 months service to take over the basketball coaching job. The combined efforts of Ernie and Wally inspired the team to win the District 1 0 crown. Brick Grayum has been working with Astoria teams for the past three years. Brick came to Astoria from Lewis Clark Junior High.

The players were improving and really showed they could take it. Gyro field was fairly dry. STILL RIDING HIGH . . . Annual civil war won against garge Seaside eleven, 12-0. Bumala - Hunsinger - Lovvold combination kept the Gulls on the go. Sagen must have caught touchdown fever. Gunderson and lhander re¬ peatedly broke into the Gulls backfield. WHOA, FISHERS . . . The Dalles Indians took hapless Fishermen to the tune of 27-13. Outplayed, but not out¬ fought, Fishers, led by Bumala, rally, but short of mark. First defeat on home field. Game rough, but impressive. GOOD GAME, BUT . . . Hard fought game, on misty rain-soaked field, finds Salem emerging with victory, 9-0. Crowd impressed by teams ' playing.

BOB KITTLESON, sophomore, who saw quite a bit of action, will be back next year to play left guard. HOWARD LOVVOLD, senior. Lovvold ' s outstretched arms were the target for Bumala ' s passes. Lovvold played right end. MARTIN NYGAARD, junior at the right guard position, will strengthen the line next year. NORMAN SAGEN, junior, who might possibly step into Lovvold ' s shoes next year. DICK STRATTON, junior. Dick will be back next year to do plenty of ball carryining. GORDON WOLFGRAM, junior. As center Gordon was a good de¬ fensive player.

Basketball Personnel CAPTAIN HOWARD LOVVOLD, senior and a veteran of three years, was a most consistent player. He was also high point man of the squad. EUGENE BEANARD HUNSINGER, senior—little red-headed guard—was the real spark plug of the team with his fast and tricky floor work. WALT NELSON, senior. Breaking into the line-up late in the sea¬ son, Walt improved tremendously and became a definite threat. DICK BUMALA, senior. “Boom was a flashy offensive and a de¬ pendable defensive player. ALBIN ABBIE IHANDER, senior, was a good steady player and proved to be a valuable reserve throughout the season. FRED IHANDER, junior. Freddie was a tricky ball handler and one of the few boys who could score from anywhere. HARVEY PEKKALA, junior, was a steady dependable reserve whose ability to sink them from outside the key hole makes him a decided threat. STANFORD GRIMBERG, junior. Stan had to stay on the bench most of the games because of a bad knee, but his long swishers makes him a constant threat. NORMAN SAGEN, junior. Sagen was a good reserve throughout the season and will probably come through with some excellent ball next year. BILL KORPELA, sophomore. The only sophomore, ond one of the best reserves on the team. He improved steadily through the season and is a good prospect for next year. MANAGER JOE BAKKENSON, senior. Joe is the work horse for the whole team. He did a good job as head manager for the Fishermen.
