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
