Hampton Betty and Joe looked to Superintendent Hampton this year for a program with an emphasis placed upon health. So Physical Education supervisors were provided for both girls ' and boys ' activi¬ ties and money was advanced to put the high school gymnasium in a condition second to none in the state. Principal E. D. Towl er With the final records filed and the last-minute recommendation questionnaires filled out, Principal Towler closed the door on an¬ other successful year. One thing that stood out in the year ' s pro¬ gram was the fact that the tempo of school life, both curricular and extracurricular, was definitely stepped up in keeping with the post war trend.

Faculty 1 Student Council To the student council of Astoria High goes the credit of running a very successful year in 1946-47. Even before school officially start¬ ed, they determined the price of regular and season tickets for the football games and when to have their meetings. Presided over by the student body president, Gordon Wolfgram, the council continued its putting on of National Assemblies, awarding letters, sponsoring pep assemblies and various other student activi¬ ties. Later in the year they determined prices of basketball tickets and sponsored an exchange assembly with Seaside High. Throughout the year they handled efficiently any problem that came up.

SCHOOL OF FISH Senior Class Junior Class Sophomore Class Seniors ' 47 111 September, 19-14, one hundred and thirty-four sophomores started their checkered three-year journey through high school. Their group presented a sophomore party, instead of a Soph Hop, and a student body assembly. The girls busied them¬ selves by shining trophies, and the boys were kept active polishing the shields. The girls, like their predecessors, wore the traditional green ribbons. “Spring Green , the Junior Class play, was pre¬ sented in the spring of 1946, under the direction of Miss Zoe Allen, at the Viking Theater. The Junior Prom, with its motif of “Treasure Island , was successfully earned out on May second. This class also participated in the Victory Bond Drive. This year as the students walked down the aisles at the U. S. 0., in the traditional blue caps and gowns, they looked back and remembered the enjoyment of putting forward their best to present the Senior Play during the first of December. Fol¬ lowing the play was the Senior Ball—its theme was “White Christmas . Talents of the class were brought to light when the seniors performed on the Senior Class Day. Six seniors made grades for Torch Honor this year. First Row: Jackson. Peterson; Second Row: Cook, Josephson; Third Row: Lattin; Fourth Row: Miss Olin, Miss Crouter.

Nr Juniors The Junior Class earned on during their second year in high school in the same energetic spirit as they did when they were sophs. As sophs they contributed the most of all the classes to the Junior Red Cross, sponsored a National Assembly program, presented the Soph Hop, and did many of the traditional duties of sophomores; such as polishing shields, wearing green ribbons, and run¬ ning errands for the seniors. This class was very proud of its two lettermen, Bob Kittilson and Bill Korpela. During the year twelve sophs were admit¬ ted to the Torch Honor. Bob Kittilson, president, assisted by Bill Korpela, vice president, Marilyn Salmonson, secretary, Shirley Hillard, treasurer, and Philip Syvanen, sergeant at arms, did much to make their Sophomore year outstanding. As juniors they kept up their successful record by winning a yell contest, being tops in blue card holders during the year, presenting the Junior Prom, and putting on their play, which was directed by Miss Allen.

The mam purpose of the organization was to foster musical enjoyment for boys who like to sing. Diffi¬ culties which had to be overcome were such things as teaching the boys to follow the piano, read music, and sing together. This year the boys contributed to the Christ¬ mas cantata and to the Operetta. The purpose of the Tn-Y ' s is to develop the three-fold life of every member and to form a good foundation for her future.

As+or Post Staff The Astor Post staff put a final ' Thirty on the last publication of the year, the Senior edition, to round out another successful year. Banging typewriters and scrib¬ bling pencils, which will now be silent until fall, were heard throughout the year coming from the Astor Post office, especially on deadline days. With the aid of the adviser, Miss Curry, the paper came out on schedule. Bernadine Anderson, Business Manager Ethel Kamara, Assistant Editor Betty Lowrey, Editor Zephyrus Under the capable leadership of the editor, Betty Lowrey, assistant editor, Ethel Ka¬ mara, and adviser. Miss Fern Curry, the Zephyrus was once again published for the students of Astoria High School. One of fhe first duties of the cabinet was to choose a theme. Each one on the cabinet composed a model Zephyrus from which the theme for the real book was conceived. To meet the higher cost in production, the price of the book had to be raised to two dollars and a half. To have as good a book as the previous edition, this increase was necessary. This year is the fiftieth anniversary of fhe Zephyrus. FIRST ROW: Miss Curry, Beverly Gibson, Don Malagamba, Lois Simonson, Pat Malinen. SECOND ROW: David Thorsnes, Gwen Christensen, Don Hendrickson, Betty Erickson, Elmer Koski. THIRD ROW: Susan Cook, Juanita Roberts. Stanford Grimberg, Miss Lamb. To make the student body 100 per cent on student taxes and to fill the subscription list for the Zephyrus were the mam purposes of the livewires. This year collecting the extra dollar was an addi¬ tional task which Business Manager Bernadine Anderson and Miss Lamb, assisted by these diligent workers, had to cope with. This group also distributed the Astor Posts to their respective roll rooms. Livewires FIRST ROW: Johnson, Welch, Er¬ ickson, Abel, Kangas. SECOND ROW: Koski. Oja, Larson, Sample, Poin¬ dexter.

Some delved deeply into records and fact to get the necessary statistics which are required in many stories, while others worked long hours doing the typing which is vital to the compiling of any publication. Letter printing was also done by staff members. Zephyrus Staff ' ' Everything Happens to Us And Came the Spring Senior Play FIRST ROW: Jackson, Cook, Robert¬ son, Peasley.

Wally Palmberg BASKETBALL The 1946M7 version of the Astoria basketeers had a hot-and-cold season. They started the season with one-point wins over llwaco and Naselle. After this was to come the disasterous eleven-game losing spree. It was storted by the Fishermen los¬ ing to Battle Ground and continued until the Fishermen managed to pull the Red¬ mond gome out of the fire. The locals were a rejuvenated ball club after this, and just to prove it they went on an eight-game winning skein. In these eight games was the first game of the district 10 play-offs in which the Fishermen beat Seaside. This hot streak was broken by Hood River and Central Catholic. The Fishermen played consistent ball after this, winning 13 of the remaining 17 games of the season. The Finns earned their way to the State Tournament by trouncing Seaside 41-38 and 46-37. They also won two from the Tillamook Cheesemakers 41-30 and 39-30 to sweep the district playoffs. At the tournament the Fishermen didn ' t fare so well los¬ ing their first game to Washington 39-28. The Finns lost to Redmond 42-39, and this eliminated them from the meet. CAN ' T QUITE REACH A TENSE MOMENT WHERE ' S THE BASKET?
