Astoria High School - Zephyrus Yearbook (Astoria, OR)

Text from Pages 1 - 124 of the 1953 volume:

PRESENTED BY ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY ASTORIA HIGH SCHOOL ASTORIA, OREGON Oontenis Incorporating a calendar and the seasons of the year into a unified whole this year ' s Zephyrus staff presents the varied hues of life at AHS in picture and in prose. The theme of the seasons has a deeper implication. For life itself, from birth to pri¬ mary school, from primary to elementary school, from ele¬ mentary school to high school, from high school, to work, to marriage, to college, is not unlike the constant ebb and flow of days and the chang¬ ing currents of time and the weather. Our book is perhaps a little unorthodox in that we have divided it according to the months of the year and the seasons rather than by the more traditional division. Thus you will find the seniors last, because graduation in June is a spring highlight. Sports are scattered according to the time of year we enjoy them . . . football in the fall, basket¬ ball in winter, baseball and track in the spring. At any rate we present: Our Calendar of Events at AHS for 1953. PAT MATTHEWS, Editor-in-Chief. . . . Spring ' education The 1953 Zephyrus staff is proud to dedicate this book to Miss Fern Curry, senior Eng¬ lish teacher, Astor Post adviser and head of the English de¬ partment. Because of her unselfish de¬ votion to students and to the cause of better education she has endeared herself to the class of 1953 and to Astoria high school. Not the least of Miss Curry ' s devoted service to AHS has been the advisership to the Zephyrus and the Astor Post. In addition to a regular journalism class she spent countless hours outside of school helping students put together the newspaper and yearbook. This year these duties are split. But the hours, extra-hours, still pile up. To you, then, in gratitude, we present the 1 953 Zephyrus. THE STAFF. . . . School ZEPHYRUS A new office, a new adviser, a new engrav¬ ing process, a bigger book were only a few of the problems that faced 1953 Zephyrus staff members who returned to AHS in the fall to begin their big worry . First on the agenda was the move from the old Astor Post office in the main build¬ ing to a room off the basketball floor in Patriot ' s hall Staffers made the room. By placing a partition across a portion of the old gym equipment room a sizable office was created. Mr. John Eliasson ' s shop classes did the carpentry for skill-shy annual staffers. Staff members did their own painting and settled down for a year of hard work. New features to be found in this, the end product of their labors, are individual pictures of freshmen and sophomores, more pages, the use of color and the fact that each activity has a full page in the book.

WELLS Superintendent of Schools 953 School Directing the destinies of not only AHS but a total of nearly 2,000 Astoria public school students is the engrossing job of Superintend¬ ent Wells and the Astoria Board of Directors. Headed by Chairman Jay Hendrickson the board makes all the decisions respecting Asto¬ ria public schools, excepting those delegated to the superintendent and through him other school officials. Biggest problem facing the school directors is growing pains . To them falls the diffi¬ cult task of finding additional (or providing it) housing for more students in already over¬ taxed school buildings. Mr. Wells is in his third year in Astoria, his second at the helm of the school system.

Bob Rees, student body president, conducts the meeting in the above scene under the watchful eye of Mr. Bob Bush, Mr. Ralph Lind and Miss Marjorie Halderman. Meeting regularly the thirty-eight-member student council took action and made deci¬ sions on student problems, maintained the building and grounds, took legislative action, promoted school spirit and morale and pre¬ sented awards. Accomplishments of the 1952-53 council were improving the parking lot, directing the successful Homecoming activities, organizing the Pepsters, Science club, Tri-Hi-Y and hold¬ ing a formal induction ceremony of the new student body officers in the spring, after elections. The council gained recognition as Jon Coso- vich was sent as a delegate to the National Association of Student Councils annual meet¬ ing in Evanston, Illinois, and also spoke in a panel discussion at the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher School Principals annual meeting.

The running of the yards and downs to go markers was another of their many activities. They also assisted at the Junior Play by ar¬ ranging seats and watching doors. The student council designated them to keep Blackie quiet at assem¬ blies and to remove him if he created too great a disturbance. They also saw that Blackie got at least one bath during the year. An after game dance was held in Patriots ' Hall in order to raise money for their expenses.

Sponsors of the annual affair, the Service club, termed the dance an overwhelming success. Jeans, plaid shirts and patched overalls were the dominating clothing motif, how¬ ever prize winners for the evening were be¬ decked in sometimes startling get-ups. Jim Bacon, who garnered the best costume prize, came in long red underwear, rakishly concealed by a barrel midriff. Potato dance winners were Marilyn Lempea and Larry An¬ derson Chaperones for the dance were Mrs. Wheeler, advisor, hAr. Welch, Miss Halder- man and Miss Margaret Upham.

The Dean ' s Room contains first aid supplies and a cut finger can be ban¬ daged by one of the lieutenants. A new addition to the room this year is a telephone; answering it and taking mes¬ sages is another of a lieutenants many jobs.

In the second game of the series the fledgling footballers dropped the game to the Cubs by two touchdowns. Conversions spelled the difference in the final outcome as the score stood, Tiger Cubs 14—Fingerlings 12. FRESHMEN .H UY PALMBERG, President CHUCK LINDSTROM, Vice-President junv OLSEN. Secretary HICK REES, Sgt.-at-arms One of the first deci¬ sions of the Freshman class of ' 56 was to aban¬ don assembled class meetings and carry on business in the Social Education cla s s e s be¬ cause of the large num¬ ber in the group. The cabinet then gave their suggest ions to Miss Friedrich, class advisor, to present to the various groups. This proved to be very satisfactory. The freshmen ' s home- co m i n g princess was Phoebe Beelar. Their float, School Daze did not place in the parade, but the Frosh learned an invaluable lesson in class cooperation. Two of the main activ¬ ities of the year were the annual Frosh Frolic with the theme April in Par¬ is, and the Freshmen- Se nior Talent Assembly.

GAIL SODERMAN President Le Circle Francois (French Club) was organized in 1949 with the pri¬ mary functions of helping students understand the French people through the study of their country, their lan¬ guage, and customs. During the school year the French class put on a United Nations Day Assembly showing the school about the French people. It was cleverly en¬ acted by the students who sang and danced and did various other things. There were French scenes against French backdrops to illustrate to oth¬ ers the habits and customs of the French. The students who participate in the French Club not only learn about the history of France, but the arts and culture as well. Officers for this year were: Presi¬ dent, Gail Soderman; vice-president, Marilyn Christensen; secretary and treasurer, Birger Brandt. Advisor for the French Club is Miss Ann Berg¬ man. 48 LATIN CLUBS m stn$a 1§83 $%iv3 Seated in the first row are Joanne Peschl, Margaret White, Louise Makinen. Peggy Singleton.

Each Wednesday night the Hi- Time puts on its weekly half-hour broadcast. These broadcasts consist of news and activities around the school, entertainment, and plays, which are written and directed by Miss Dorothy Farley, one of the ad¬ visors of the club. Occasionally, the Hi-T ime arranges for a panel to dis¬ cuss some of the main controversies which are debated pro and con. In this way the community hears what is going on and it makes for better public relations between the school and community.

JON COSOV1CII President High-lighting the activities of the Quill and Scroll Society during the past year were a formal initiation, with refreshments and a social hour, and a noon-time dance around the traditional Astoria High School Christmas tree. The Quill and Scroll, first organized in April of 1930, strives to install in its members the ideals of scholarship, to advance the standards of the jour¬ nalism profession and to promote ex¬ act thinking and clear forceful writ¬ ing. Members of the society are chosen for the outstanding work they have done on the newspaper or the year book. Officers of the society for 1952-53 were Jon Cosovich, president, and Lois Ostrom, secretary-treasurer. Miss Fern Curry is the advisor of the group Under the leadership of these offic ers and the co-operation of the mem¬ bers, the Quill and Scroll had a very successful year.

PAT MATTHEWS Editor Assisting the cabinet in the many jobs which are neces¬ sary to put out a yearbook were the members of this year ' s Zephyrus staff. For the first time sophomores and juniors were on the staff. From this group came the nucleous for next year ' s an¬ nual including Julie Simmons, editor; Sue Sandoz, assistant editor; Carol Bradbury, business manager; and Shirley Julian, assistant business manager. Two amendments were added to the school constitution this year after being proposed by the Zephyrus staff. The first amendment made it possible to elect an assistant editor and an assistant business manager in the spring student body elections. The idea of this amendment was to give the editor and business manager a full year of experience on their jobs be 1 o• e assuming the responsibilities of their offices. The as¬ sistant editor of the Zephyrus was made a member of the student council by the second amendment. Although the staff never had formal meetings they could be counted on to get their various jobs done. Besides workin g on the annual itself, they also assisted in t e subscription campaign, an after-game dance, and the senior-faculty basketball game ASTOR POST Seated from left to right are Birger Brandt, Lois Ostrom, and Jon Cosovich. rhose in the first row are Miss Bergstrom, Roberta McLean, Darlene Malen, Bat Niemi.

Besides the usual paper produced, the staff provides an As- torian-Budget reporter for high school news and staff members edit a football and basketball dope booklet. Also a bi-weekly Cub paper is printed by a staff of twenty freshmen and soph¬ omore cubs. Inovations in the 1952-1953 school year included a new column, Bacon ' s Ham, and a student of the week feature in place of the precedented Caught in the Net Column. Honors, too, bedeck the school paper. A first class excellent rating was received for both spring and fall semesters from the National Scholastic Press Association. The staff also created new oscar awards for outstanding writing. The editor and staff members participated, on invitation, in the Oregon Scholastic Press Conference at Eugene, and the all Coast Press Conference in Seattle.

Publishing different issues each time with a new editor wcs one of he refinements. The group functions primarily as a train : ng ground for future Astor Post journalists. Money matters were not neglected by this year s Cubs and they added to the coffers by selling every issue at five cents a copy. Several staff changes were made on each issue as well as having a new editor and busi¬ ness manager for each one. Some of the Cubs even wrote and did other tasks for Editor Jon Cosovich ' s AP. However, most of them will not see regular duty with the AP until next fall. The issues of the Cub Times were mimeo¬ graphed in the high school office by the staff, with the assistance of the advisors. .10X COSOVICH President SCIENCE CLUB Seated left to right are Michael Leigh, Helvi Ileinonen, Ted Belcourt, Maureen Loop, Boh Bay. and Mi-s Edith Curry.

SENIOR BALL Fun was the keynote at the cnnual Senior Bail held in December Climaxing a thrilling journey from his glitter¬ ing castle way up north, Santa himself was perched atop a snow-cov¬ ered house with his sack of toys, while his rein¬ deer, complete with Ru¬ dolph, waited nearby at the Senior Ball, Decem¬ ber 22, in Patriot ' s Hall. With the theme Here Comes Santa Claus, the seniors depicted Santa ' s trip from the North Pole to your housetop and rounded out the decora¬ tions with a dark blue ceiling centered with a gigantic silver star and country snow - covered scenery. Commencing at 8 p.m. with the Grand March, led by the senior class president, Warren Bech- tolt, and Aliceann Niemi, the ball continued until 1 1 o ' clock with dancing to the music of Chuck Hickerson and his orch¬ estra with AHS ' s Dale Barker manning the drums.

BARBARA SORENSON President The Girls ' Athletic Association was organ¬ ized to promote participation in girls ' sports and the spirit of friendliness and cooperation among all girls. Sportsmanship and the im¬ provement of athletic skills are other major aims of the club. Any girl who is interested in athletics is eligible to belong to this club as long as she maintains average grades. The club members have been very active this year and have participated in many sports out of school including swimming, horseback riding, and tennis. They have tak¬ en several bike hikes, gone skiing at Mt Hood, and have camped and hiked on Sad¬ dle Mountain. To raise money for club expenses they sold stationery to AHS students. They also put on the annual Halloween masquerade dance which was very successful. A Faculty Tea was sponsored by the group in the fall. Miss Vera Fuller, GAA advisor, was as¬ sisted in her duties by President Barbara Sor¬ enson; Vice-President Beverly Mahoney; Sec¬ retary Rae Heaton; and Treasurer Marie Petersen. GIRLS 7 SPORTS . . . . Someone Make a Point? Most of the girls sports are con¬ nected with the GAA but not all. Some girls do not have time to spend the fifth period of each day for GAA ac¬ tivities but still are interested in sports. For them this program was es¬ pecially designed. By participating in one or more sports each girl learned the value of sportsmanship while improving her in¬ dividual skill. A large number of girls from all four classes joined bowling teams and became members of the Junior Na¬ tional Bowling League. This group met each Wednesday after school to bowl two lines. Barbara Sorenson was president of the group, Sue Sandoz was treasurer, and both Cynthia Hoff and Katie Pettett served as secretary. Camping trips and bike hikes were also on the program which was di¬ rected by Miss Vera Fuller, girls ' physical education instructor. In the spring many girls turned out for ten¬ nis instruction held on the courts at both the Gray and Astor grcde schools- INTRAMURAL AHS musclemen pictured above are active sports participants even though they lack the glory afforded varsity sports gladictors. These unsung heroes take an active part in a year- round series of competitive sports. Keynoted by physical fitness and fun a full year-round slate of competitive and non¬ competitive sports activities are afforded AHS boys who lack either the time or the talent for varsity sports competition. Directed by Coaches Roy M. Thompson and Ward Paldanius, the program begins early in the fall with touch football as the major activity. In the winter months basket¬ ball and volleyball dominate. Spring finds in- dor and outdoor softball on the agenda. Training is also given in badminton and other sports. Teams, composed of all interested students, are organized for competitive sports- This year competition was carried so far that the boys volleyball champs held a play-off game with the girl champs. The results of the con¬ test are censored. Objective of the program is to provide a maximum of sports activity, aimed at general physical fitness, for a maximum of high school boys who are, because of inclination or inability, outside the extra-curricular sports program. As much as possible the program is conducted on school time, during PE classes or at noontime. BASKETBALL WARD PALDANIUS Ccach For the third consecutive year As¬ toria High entered the state tourna¬ ment at Eugene. This season provid¬ ed many thrills to the spectators, one of which was the breaking of the in¬ dividual scoring record for one game by Ron Smart, versatile senior center. His score of 33 points against the Central Catholic Rams topped the five-year old record of 28 points set by John Fransen The 1952-53 squad showed not as much individual ability as last year ' s but hod a fine team spirit based on cooperative teamwork. Don Johnson, sophomore, was manager and Jerry Lundholm, senior, was statistician for the Fishermen. Pictured above in the first row are Mr. Paldanius, John Jensen. Hugh Seppa, Bill Whitten.

At Eugene they were knocked from the championship run¬ ning by Dallas in their first game at MacArthur Court. The second game with the Lakeview Honk¬ ers was more successful as the Fishermen won 62 to 42. In their third and las f tournament game the Fishermen lost to the Hillsboro Sparta ns by a score of 44 to 34. The Fishermen showed plenty of firepower throughout the season ' s play but s o m e t i m es lacked accuracy. Al¬ though a younger team than last year they were stronger on the boards. Ron Smart with 428 points in 25 games fin¬ ished the season with the highest number of points. Coach Ward Paldanius will lose four members of the squad by graduation. They are Hugh Seppa, Ron Smart, John Pa| 0 ' and Jack Bay. 66 BASKETBALL JACK HAY Senior I ' AI ' I. (iSTKKU ' NI) Sopliomore If ON SMART Senior HIU.

For the first time the JV ' s had a league of their own which was called the same as the varsity league: Val¬ ley Coast League. They traveled with the varsity on league games and played the JV teams there in prelim¬ inary games. In an exciting game at the Armory, December 16, the JV ' s defeated the Seaside JV ' s 40 to 39. Jerry Smith tossed in the winning field goal. Close games were the rule that night as this was the same night that the AHS varsity wen from the Seaside varsity 47 to 46. Still another close game was with the Gresham JV ' s. This game was close all the way but the AHS junior varsity wen this game 38 to 36. High for Astoria was Howard Graham with 10 points. At the end of the season the JV ' s had rocked up a total of 846 points in the 18 games played. Jerry Smith was high-point man for the year with a total of 218 points. He was followed by Jon Englund with 192, Ken Sture with 165 points, and Howard Graham with 1 07 points. 68 FROSH Pictured in the first row are Jack Kelly, John Turpeinen, l on Carter, Jim Johanson, Dick Rees, Janies Thompson, Charley Alhin, Dick Hellberg, Chuck Lindstrom, and Dale Johnson.

A fairly successful season was had by Astoria High ' s Fingerlings who won nine and lost five of the games played. Four of the defeats were by 4 points or less. Norm Welch, new to Astoria High this year, coached the Finger- lings. The Frosh had a well rounded team but lacked some in height. The for¬ wards were Dick Rees and John Tur¬ peinen with Jim Johanson in reserve. Center was Jim Thompson with Charles Albin as sub center. The guards were Dale Johnson and Don Carter with Charles Lindstrom and Jack Kelly being used the most as sub guards- Dick Rees led the Fingerlings in scoring for the season. He was fol¬ lowed by Jim Thompson. The highest number of points scored by the Fin- qerlings in one game was 69 against Scappoose. One of the highlights of the season came at the end of the year when the team beat the Hi-Y team made up of juniors and seniors from the high school. The Frosh also won over Com¬ pany L of the National Guard at a night game at the Armory. In regular season play about the best game played was with the Knap- pa-Svensen team. The Fingerlings won this game which was nip and tuck all the way. The Frosh had lost 3 other games to the Knappa-Svensen team. 70 - - --: — i | ||l ■ l 4 p ■H ft 0 � w n E i . Classes SOPHOMORES FRANK BECHTOLT, President MARVIN IIATTALA, Vice-President GAIL SODERMAN, Secretary PAT MORRISON, Treasurer DOUG FERGUSON, Sgt.-at-arms ' 2 The sophomore class of ' 55 had little trouble adjusting themselves with the rest of the AHS students when entering Astoria High. One rea¬ son for this was the newly required course of Social Education which helped them to get acquainted. The active freshman class started their successful year by taking top honors for the Homecoming Float parade, and the very profitable Alice in Wonderland frosh frolic. The class of ' 55, continuing in their sophomore year, place three men on varsity basketball and three on varsity football. The sophs almost tied for first place in class competi¬ tion by winning four times. The class came ( ou f with an original School Daze float for Homecoming, taking third place.

ALICE JESSEN President Two Pan American Club were or¬ ganized this year because there were two Spanish classes. Both clubs were organized on the same basis and had the same objective: to further the un¬ derstanding of the Latin American countries. Each Friday was set aside for club day- On this day the students left grammar exercises behind them and concentrated more on using the verbs they had learned in everyday conver¬ sation. By this and also by the study¬ ing of the geography, history, people, and customs they became better ac¬ quainted with the Latin American countries. Officers of the third period Span¬ ish club were Alice Jessen, president; Virginia Curtis, vice-president; and Debra Backa, secretary - treasurer. Wielding the gavel of the sixth period club was Jo Hansen. She was assisted by Ralph Eaton, vice-president; and Deanna Johnson, secretary-treasurer.

SENIOR PLAY Mr. Barry ' s Etchings netted approxi¬ mately $325 tor the class of ' 53 when it was successfully staged before a crowd of several hundred persons at bo!h the afte nocn and evening performances at the Armory March 3. Star of the play was Gordon Bussey who as Mr. Barry played Santa Claus with $207,000 worth of counterfeit $50 bills. His sister ' s (Alice Seabrook) warnings went unheeded until he was finally apprehended by G-Man Tom Crosby, alias George Wheeler. Pretty Maureen Davidson, Evelyn Taylor, Mr. Barry s niece ably performed the roman¬ tic lead. Her fiance Marvin Pretchard (Rus¬ sell Baker) was quickly ditched when the handsome Mr. Crosby appeared. Mr. Barry s talent for making money did not go unrecognized by the underworld either for Fifty Ferris and Sawbuck Sam (Zana Englehardt and Terry McDermott) soon showed up on the scene.

JUNIOR PROM Reigning over the gaily decorated Junior Prom held April 28 at Patriots ' Hall, was Queen Barbara II and her six lovely princesses, Evelyn Nel¬ son, Ruth Truman, Car¬ ol Basel, and Gloria Car¬ ter. The setting of the Prom was in Dream¬ land as was clearly evi¬ dent by the many blue and silver panels featur¬ ing such things as tiny cherubs, scenes from Peter Pan, and silver stars. The crowning cere¬ mony was performed by Miss Dorothy Farley, Dean of Girls, who first pronounced each girl a princess as she handed her a red rose. Queen Barbara II was then asked to step forward while the crown was placed upon her head and a bouquet or red roses was presented to her. Following the crowning ceremony a quartet con¬ sisting of Joan Moberg, Joyce Seeborg, Car o I Basel, and Jeanne Sauer sang two numbers. Joyce Seeborg also sang a solo accompanied by Char¬ lotte Anderson. Dancing for the 120 couples at the Prom were three lit¬ tle pupils of the Dene van Volkenberg School of Dance. General chairman for the Prom was David Rin- ell, vice-president of the junior class. He was as¬ sisted by the entire class and the class advisor, Miss Maude Crouter. 93 BAND Wmm ■w In tin ' lirst row nf the band is Susie Niskanen and Dagntar Takko.

HAROLD WITHNELL Music Supervisor The Astoria High School Band with 55 members, is the largest in the history of Astoria High. Organized in 1947 by Harold Withnell, its present director and supervisor of music for Astoria city schools, if has become one of the most cc- tive organizations at AHS- Its colorful uniforms and definite rhythm have added a great deal to the school spirit during pep rallies, games, parades, and concerts. Out in front of the band in parades and halftime activities were six spirited majorettes lead by Charlene Nelson. Any student body member in good stcnding, who is in¬ terested in music, is eligible for membership in this accred¬ ited class. Governing the band was Tim Kribs who was aided by the five other members of the band council, Susie Ander¬ sen, Carlotta Nyland, Ted Beleourt, Darlene Aho, and Dave Rinell. Astoria High was host to the first annual Lower Columbia Music Festival on April 1 0 to 11 at the Astoria Armory. Both the bond and choruses took part in this program in which ten schools participated. The annual Spring Concert was held May 19 at the Gray school auditorium.

Besides playing at home games three trips were taken by the band, to Gresham, to Tillamook, and to the state basketball tournament. At the tournament the group not only played for all our games but also for four other schools. The eighteen members of the band were distinguished by their purple and gold jackets. Astoria High now has its own dance band. It was composed of ten members, mostly un¬ derclassmen, so AHS students can look fo - - ward to a more experienced band next year.

BARKER, Choral Director Very active this year was Astoria High ' s vocal music de¬ partment which was composed of four choirs, the Triple Trio, and that sparkling new group, the Madrigals. The A Cappella choir, the principal choir at AHS, per¬ formed in assemblies, concerts, in festivals, and at the grad¬ uation exercises. Jim Simonson was president of the A Cap¬ pella choir council which through the efforts of the Astoria Barbershop Chorus was presented with seventy new robes. A second mixed chorus was added to the group of choirs which also included two Girls ' Glee groups, one of which was composed entirely of freshmen. These club have provided their members with experience that will make them valuable additions to the advanced choral groups in future years. Du-ing the past year the Triple Trio sang for various As¬ toria clubs and attended the Northwest District Music Con¬ test in Beaverton. The Madrigal singers had an informal style of singing that was enjoyed by all who heard them. They sang at many func¬ tions during the past year and received a superior rating, the highest possible, at the Northwest District Music Contest.

The new club, which was under the organizational leadership of six sen¬ ior boys, was made up of 62 boys, most of whom dressed in white cords and white shirts to distinguish their seating section at pep rallies and games. The club was open to every boy in high school who had the regular ex¬ tra-curricular activity grade require¬ ments and was willing to participate in the activities of the club at pep assemblies and games. The leaders, Jon Cosovich, Bob Rees, Jim Bacon, Warren Bechtolt, Gordon Bussey, and Pete Pederson, introduced several comedy routines during pep assemblies and did much to increase the pep of AHS students. A car pool was sponsored by the club in order to get more students to an important basketball game at Til¬ lamook. In charge of this and the other activities was Jim Bacon, organ¬ izational president of the club. MR. JOHN PEDERSON MR. MERLE WESTERSUND AHS ' two able janitors are seen in typical action shots.

Thompson. AHS ' s cindermen placed ahead of all other teams in the county, whipped Park- rose, lost only to Gresh¬ am in the Valley Coast League, and went on to place second in the dis¬ trict 6-A meet at Beaver¬ ton. Ten Astoria High school trackmen won the right to participate at the Beaverton meet. At the district 6-A meet, John Webb, Don Pettett, Fir¬ min Falleur and the 880 yard relay team (Mike Coyle, Harlan Thompson, Rudy Parhaniemi and Bob Parhaniemi), won trips to the state track meet held in Salem. John Webb and Don Pettett took the only firsts for the AHS team at the dis¬ trict 6-A meet. Astoria High can look forward to another good season next year for many of the trackmen will be back again with another year of experi¬ ence behind them. 102 BASEBALL Tlic first row pictures Wally Goldie.

Frank Zeller, Duane Sampson; Bill Carlson and Paul Usterlund, manageis. With seven returning lettermen Coach Norm Welch went on to build a successful baseball team. The Astoria High school baseball nine opened the season by splitting a double-header with Tillamook. At an early point in the season some of the leading hitters were Wally Goldie, Larry Anderson, Bob Bray, and Roger Moksness. The first-string lineup for the 1953 season was Wally Goldie, catcher; Bob Reiter, first base; Ken Sture, second base; Bill Sporre, third base; Larry Anderson, shortstop; John Jensen, center field; Frank Poysky, left field; Roger Moks¬ ness, right field, and Bob Bray and Jon Englund, pitchers- This year many of the games were played at Tapiola Park. It was here that baseball fans witnessed some exciting games. Even though the Fishermen lost a pair to Tillamook on May 5, it was an afternoon of baseball that the spectators will not soon forget. Roger Moksness and Bill Sporre had a per¬ fect record for the first game that day as they got on base every time they were at bat. Astoria ' s baseball men showed some fine fielding this year and with many of the boys returning next year AHS can look forward to an even better season. 103 ... at the height of confusion. Who ' s got the ball? 104 . A tenacious band of faculty basketeers oblit¬ erated the legend of sen¬ ior supremacy in annual faculty-senior hardcourt jousts by upsetting the best they had to offer in 1 953 by a score of 51 -53- The faculty, paced by Principal Bob Bush and Coach Ward Paldanius surged to an early lead which they never relin¬ quished. Only difficulty encountered was late in the contest when en¬ raged spectators (unable to concede the inevitable defeat) surged onto the floor and substituted a referee of their own for the faculties repre¬ sentative Carl Bourne. However, a last sec¬ ond basket by Ward Pal¬ danius iced the tilt for the mentors. Ron Smart led senior scorers with 24. Pauldanius, Bush, Thompson, and Welch were the faculty work¬ horses. Paldanius scored 23, Thompson 13 and Bush 12. i wlSI 105 SENIOR OFFICERS WARREN BECHTOLT President Entering AHS in the fall of ' 49 the class of J53 sucess- fully survived the age of green ribbons and no cords. With Jon Cosovich wielding the gavel as Frosh president, the class, 140 strong, presented a St. Patrick ' s Day talent assembly and began aiming for the future. After a year of working together, the class of ' 53 really got going as Sophs. Electing Jack Pietarila as president was only the beginning of a year ' s activities that really made the Sophomore class a standout at AHS. 2000 Plus, their Soph Hop, the placing of husky Ron Smart on the varsity team and the winning of class competition brought recognition to the class of ' 53 during the ' 50- ' 51 school year. After struggling through their first two years at the school on the hill the ' 53 seniors had shown themselves worthy of being juniors and immediately elected Pete Peder¬ son to lead them through another successful year.
