HAMPTON As Mr. Hampton retires from the superintendency of Astoria schools on July 1, he will witness the establishment of a four-year high school in place of the three-year system. The junior high school system, which Mr. Hampton organized, will undergo a reorganization so as to coincide with the change in the senior high school. Mr. Hampton during his tenure tackled the numerous problems which con¬ fronted him with the zeal and foresight that is personified in the spirit of Astoria schools. Through his tireless effort the rebuilding of the high school building, which was razed by fire during the Thanksgiving vacation in 1943, was complete and ready for use by the incoming class. Mr. Hampton took the lead in introducing a vocational department at Astoria high school, which has grown and continues to widen its scope. Prior to coming to Astoria in 1925, Mr. Hampton served as principal of Pen¬ dleton high school and superintendent of schools in La Grande. Mr. Hamp¬ ton graduated from the Oregon College of Education and the University of Oregon. Besides hisoutstanding work in the field of education, Mr. Hampton has been active in civic work. At various times during his service in Astoria, Mr. Hampton has held numerous positions in community service groups, some of which are the U. S. O. Board of Management, the Rotary Club, and the Library Board. 6 PRINCIPAL E. D. TOWLER Progress was Mr. Towler ' s motto during his sixteen years os principal of As¬ toria high school. The 23,000 students who hove graduated from A.H.S. have seen a steady increase in the number of improvements introduced through Mr. Towler ' s efforts. The war placed a heavy load on the education system at Astoria high school with its numerous bond drives, paper drives, and rationing programs. The school was awarded a School-at-War Flag for its cooperation during the war. The sudden influx of navy personnel placed another burden on Mr. Towler and A.H.S. by the increased enrollment and various types of tests for veterans. During this period an intercommunication system was installed in the high school, and recently new equipment has been procured for the visual aids and other departments. During his administration class work and activities have been more closely harmonized and Astoria has reached the top basketball circles five times. Outstanding progress has been shown by graduates of Astoria high school during this period. They have received numerous honors in college work. In the field of education, Mr. Towler organized the Clatsop County School¬ masters Club and the Oregon High Schools Principals Association. Mr. Tow¬ ler has served in numerous other education groups. Mr, Towler has attended and taught in several colleges in the United States. He has Bachelor ' s degrees in science and education, and a Master ' s degree in science. 7 FACULTY ZOE ALLEN, Sophomiire English; Adviser, Sophomore Class, A-High Service Club; Jun¬ ior Red Cross; Junior Play Coach.

Under the guiding hand of the student council, the Astoria High student body completed another successful year. At their meetings and discussions they determined the expenditure of funds, the price of game tickets, award¬ ed athletic letters, and sponsored assemblies. In general, they looked after the students ' welfare. To Bob Kittilson, student body president, goes the credit of efficient leader¬ ship. His able assistant, Lawerence Dean, was first vice president. Mary Jo Seeborg, secretary, kept an accurate record of meetings, while Shirley Hil¬ lard, treasurer, handled the financial branch of the business. Completing the list of seniors on the council was Trevor Jacobson, athletic manager. Other members were Richard Wong, second vice president, and Jack Lay- ton, third vice president. They were junior and sophomore representatives respectively. Honorary member of the council and present at all meetings, was Principal E. D. Towler, who gave advice. Highlighting the activities on this year ' s calendar were the passing on two constitutions, the General Mechanics Club and the Service Club, and the purchase of a new 16mm. sound projector machine. As a new responsibility, the council unanimously voted to sponsor the Fingerlings ' Junior High Pro¬ gram to strengthen the athletic program.

This group not only presented the successful Sophomore Hop, but were very active in athletics. Bob Kittilson and Bill Kor¬ pela both won football letters and basketball letters. Korpela repeated in track. Sophomore initiation found the girls wearing the traditional green ribbons and the boys shining the shields, under the able guidance of the A-Club. As juniors, the class of ' 48 presented their play, And Came the Spring , in April of 1947, at the Viking Theater. This amusing comedy was given under the capable direction of Miss Zoe Allen. The most successful Junior Prom ever given was presented by this class of energetic students. The theme of this dance was carried out completely, with tandem bicycles and handlebar mustaches. When it came time for graduation, and the seniors, in their traditional blue cops and gowns, marched down the aisles of the Armory, they recalled the things they did during their last year. They had worked hard, but they also had had the enjoyment of putling on the senior ploy, The House Without A Key , and the very popular Senior Ball, that had the theme of Santa ' s Ballroom. On Class Day the seniors displayed the best of their talents to a large assembly. SENIORS- ' 48 AHO, WALT. Born, Astoria, Oregon; Course, History; Future, Undecided. ALEXANDER, GORDON.

The present junior class, which entered Astoria High in 1945, has come to the end of a very eventful year. Last year, as the sophomore class, under the leadership of Frank Franciscovich, president; Ronald Angberg, vice president; Edith Sather, secretary; Judy Thompson, treasurer; and Richard Ruitta, sergeant at arms, these students successfully carried on the activi¬ ties of their class. Dick Morse maintained the class sports standing by win¬ ning his letter in football and basketball. This year the class, advised by Miss Halderman, Miss Smoots, and Miss Friedrich, and under the leadership of Merrill Weijola, president; Bob Lay- ton, vice president; Geraldine Beemer, secretary; Ffelen Kangas, treasurer; and Dick Alberding, sergeant at arms, again proved their ability to co-oper¬ ate as a class. The members of this class decided this year to have a school crest consisting of the Astor Column with Astoria High written under it to be worn on either a pin or a ring. Future juniors may now wear their school pin for two years instead of only part of their senior year. In March, eighteen juniors, directed by Miss Allen, and supported by the rest of their class, presented the comedy entitled, Quiet Summer . Their second social event of the year was their Junior Prom, which was held at Patriot Hall, in April. The juniors can now look forward to a very successful senior year.

Swinging into stride with the rest ot the school, the sophomores of room 2 ond 5 co-operated with rooms 24 and 25 to stage a successful Red Cross campaign. Later they enthusiastically planned a Sophomore Hop and com¬ pleted their activities by decorating for the baccalaureate and commence¬ ment exercises. In their hall of fame these Sophomore rooms claimed four lettermen, who contributed greatly to the Fishermen ' s gridiron this year.

Qualifications for membership into the Special Chorus require the passing of a singing test, Con¬ tinuing with last year ' s course in composition, the members studied the history of the opera and wrote term papers on composers of their choice. The Mu¬ sic Department and the Library Club purchased a radio-phonograph, and throughout the year not only the members of the choruses, but also other students were encouraged to listen to records. The Library Club also purchased a recorder on which the choruses made recordings of their voices. This year, under the superv ision of Miss Isabel Smoots, high school chorus director, the various singing groups featured representative songs from different countries at the traditional Christmas pro¬ gram held in the gym. The highlight of the year was the Spring Formal Concert, Besides participating in an American Le¬ gion Auxiliary radio broadcast and entertaining the American Legion and the Kiwanis Club, from whom a certificate of appreciation was received, this ac¬ tive group took part in the Band Concert. Gordon De Leon distinguished himself as being the first boy accompanist of the chorus. SPECIAL CHORUS First Row: Miss Smoots. Kutz, Hess, Winkfield. Stensrud, Swanson. Mcrila.

The Mixed Chorus, composed of the Boys ' Chorus and the Junior-Senior Chorus, together with the Sophomore Chorus of sixty-nine girls, have contributed to various school programs dur¬ ing the year. Among the activities planned by Miss Smoots, director of the high school choruses, was an exchange assembly with Seaside. Darlene Bu- mala was the accompanist.

Welcomed into the family of Astoria High School activities was the newly organized band under the direction of Harold Withnell, supervisor of music for the Astoria city schools. The band, with its thirty-five members, is an ac¬ credited class established to provide an opportunity for all students to learn how to play instruments. The band also made public appearances at basket¬ ball games. Included in its schedule of concerts were three introductory appearances at the junior high schools and a Spring Concert with the high school vocal department on April 8. The Astoria Rotary Club volunteered as boosters for the band. They took over the responsibility of providing transportation and giving aid to the en¬ deavors of the A.H.S. band. As their main projects the Rotary Club transported all of the music de¬ partment to the music contest in Oregon City on April 10, and they started a campaign to raise money for band uniforms. Plans for next year include a beginning band for sophomores so that a continual supply of trained musicians will be available. Additional grants from the school board have increased the instrumenta¬ tion of the band. BAND The Tri-Y activities were highlighted by the State Conference held here Feb¬ ruary 7-9. Other activities taking place during the year were a Harvest Moon dance, Christmas cards sales, candlelight recognition service, and a print and cord dance.

As the midyear rolled around, a long-time dream was realized when the two clubs united, forming the A Hi-Serv- ice Club. Under the leadership of its advisers. Miss Smoots and Miss Allen, and president, Barbara Williams, together with vice president, Nancy Lov¬ ell; secretary, Pat Gorman; treasurer, Evelyn Ny¬ gaard; and assistant-treasurer, Nancy Lum, who will fill Evelyn ' s position next year; scrapbook keep¬ er, Dolores LeFrancq; and publicity chairman, Joyce Widen, this new organization has indeed been a service to Astoria High. Backing the Rally Squad, by promoting enthusiasm at assemblies, rallies and games, the members have carried on the traditional pep and good sportsman¬ ship of Astoria High, which is known all over the state. The regular activities of the club consisted of selling candy, stimulating pep, and ushering at games. Their special activities included the an¬ nual banquets, honoring the football and basket¬ ball teams, the club-sponsored dance, and the marching drill at the tournament sendoff. The girls decided on temporary uniforms of white, until the end of the year. 43 SERVICE CLUB Introducing advance styles of news¬ paper make-up, the Astor Post Staff kept pace with an activity-conscious student body. Casting aside column rules and spaced type, the Astor Post added the new look to its heretofore conservative style and created a new eye-catching appearance. The six- year old masthead was replaced by a new cut of more harmonious type face. The March issues of the Astor Post saw girl pitted against boy in a battle of the press with no holds barred. El¬ len Koski, assistant editor, advanced to the editorship in order to lead her girls and at the same time gain a practical experience for next year. The boys and their tournament issue were under the direction of editor, Richard Bjork. So until next year, the Astor Post Staff has written another ' 30 ' to a success¬ ful year. Top: Richard Bjork.

Headed by energetic Richard Bjork, who was the first stu¬ dent in the history of Astoria High School to at¬ tend the annual National Scholastic Press Associa¬ tion conference in Cleveland, Ohio, the Astor Post topped all previous records by publishing 14 four- page editions and two six-pagers during one of its most active years. Regular issues of the Astor Post found Ellen Koski battling the invasion of ads on the second page, while Jerry Johnson covered athletics for page three. Margaret Kutz handled contributions from the three junior high schools on page four. Direct¬ ing all these activities was Miss Eery Curry, ad¬ viser. Putting on steam to keep up with the rising cost of printing and the sudden influx of pictures, Ted Si¬ monson, advertising manager, pounded the cement for ad copy. Joyce Welch, business manager and circulation head, hunted frantically for cars to pick up and deliver the dear ole A.P. ' s throughout the school system. With we need copy paper ring¬ ing in her ears. Miss Hansen survived a second year as the business adviser. ASTOR POST STAFF 45 As you look over your new 1948 edi¬ tion of the Zephyrus, think of the many hours of work spent by the ed¬ itor, Betty Erickson, assistant editor, Paula Beyer, adviser. Miss Curry, and a hard-working cabinet. They began work in the fall and their worries weren ' t over until the book was dis¬ tributed to the students. After all pic¬ tures were taken and sent to the en¬ gravers, the writing and rewriting be¬ gan and when finished, the copy was released to the Astorian Budget. Cred¬ it must also be given for the success¬ ful handling of the finances by busi¬ ness manager, Marilyn Salomonsen and her adviser. Miss Lamb. Upper Left: Betty Erickson.

Later in the year six new members were added to the Zephyrus Cabinet to complete the staff. During the fall the cabinet chose the theme, made the dummy, and finished the photography and art work In the spring the en¬ larged staff met at Paula Beyer ' s home to complete the story writing, revis¬ ing and typing. By April, the finishing touches done, including the snap captions, the staff turned the 1948 Zephyrus copy over to the printer.

In a course of three uproarious acts the Juniors presented, Quiet Summer. It was a fast-moving, rollicking, comedy with an interesting and amusing theme packed with surprises. For three weeks the Junior play cast practiced long hours, and under the direction of Miss Allen, they produced a very com¬ mendable play. The advertising committee staged an all-out campaign which contributed to the success of the play. SENIOR PLAY JUNIOR PLAY 48 1. i lu ' i ' i ' ! ( ' lifcrl «. Ni ' Vfr niiinl. . . . ' A.

This was the first year of coaching for Mr. Bates, who formerly was a lieutenant in the Navy. Transferring from his former position of football coach, Mr. Ernie Stranz very capably filled the position of head basketball coach aft er the resig¬ nation of Wally Palmberg. Astoria ' s Fighting Fishermen lost only two games in the regular season, these to the strong Salem Vikings on their home floor. The Fishermen previ¬ ously had won two games from the Vikings on the Armory floor. The only other loss was at the invitational tournament at Klamath Falls, where they won games from Grant of Port¬ land and Oregon City, losing only to Klamath Falls, thus placing second in the tournament. The Fishermen rolled rough-shod over all district competition and gained the right to represent District Ten in the State Basketball Tournament at Eu¬ gene. This gave the Fishermen a very impressive string of victories for the entire year, making a grand total of thirty-one games won out of thirty- four games played previous to the state tournament. 53 Left to Right: Morse, Hutchinson, Dean, Cowell, Edison, .Johnson, Han¬ son, Butler, Syvanen, Kittilson, Korpela, Sunell.
