IN MEMORiAM STUDENT LIFE AT HHS Volume 57 1 954 The 1954 Zephyrus PUBLISHED BY ASSOCIATED STUDENTS ASTORIA HIGH SCHOOL ASTORIA, OREGON Julie Simmons, Editor IlAIJ.dWKU IIAU.S OK IVY A PICTORIAL REVIEW OF LIFE AT AHS What ' s LIFE A magazine . . goes the answer to an old joke. But to students of AHS past and present LIFE at AHS is a panoramic story of a variety of activities ranging in scope from sports to classroom drudgery. This year the editor ' s and staff of the 1954 Zephyrus present a view of student LIFE at AHS in picture and prose. We have borrowed in format from a popular publication and tak¬ en as our theme LIFE at AHS with all the shades of differences and meanings this has for students. We have extended our theme to the cover and tried to keep the magazine style throughout the book. What ' s LIFE at AHS? The answer is to be found in the pages that follow. It is the story of basketball games won (and lest), of nippy autumn evenings of football fun and the dances later at the gym, the junior prom and senior ball, of Sadie Hawkins antics. Of Pep rallies, of classes and study halls ... it might be this year or any year for this is LIFE at AHS. 3 St-udent LIFE of AHS CONTENTS Page The Detnocrofic LIFE 7 Adminisfrotion The Academic LIFE _ 19 Classes The Sociol LIFE 45 Dances, Features The Active LIFE .53 Activities The Artistic LIFE .79 Drama, Music ’ The Rugged LIFE .91 Sports A liM.li at I.II- ' K at Alls SKMIIK ItAl.l. n.AN.NKKS TIIK I ' KKXY IlKI.rS UKCOnATtlltS 4 . . .

The staff of the 1954 ZEPHYRUS is proud to dedicate this volume of LIFE at AHS to one who has selflessly devoted her entire career to the edu¬ cation of young people. Two generations of Astorians have learned their languages from Miss Bergmon. Fondly etched in the minds of hundreds of persons scattered around the city, state, nation and the world are memories of Spanish, French and Latin classes made more pleasur¬ able by the sure guidance of Miss Bergman ' s masterful teaching tech¬ nique. The world of other lands and other languages has come alive and vital in her room and students have lea ' ned not only the tongue but the folkways of peoples once alien to them. Her magic carpet has carried students far . . . and further still with the attitudes, abilities and understand- inns they learned from her. Education has changed greatly since Anne Bergman first entered a classroom as a teacher 40 years ago. She taught four years elsewhere be¬ fore coming to Astoria. In her forty years education, end Astoria, has grown and because she has grown with it and because she is an irre- placobH friend we D’ ' oudlv dedicate this 1954 version of LIFE at AHS to her-. THE STAFF 5 Student LIFE at AHS . . . ZEPHYRUS CABINET Plotting, planning and pasting is the lot in the daily life of Zephyrus cabinet members. Organized to contain the key personnel for publication of the yearbook the group for the first time this school year had a class period set aside for them to ease the burden of night chores. Choosing the theme, selecting pictures, keeping track of students, writing copy and editing are just same of the jobs performed by this group. Julie Simmons, 1954 Zephyrus editor, and her crew of helpers, risked tradi¬ tion ond chose a new and unusual format for the I 954 book. If it reflects your LIFE at AHS, a busy year will be made wor.hwhile they feel. •Iiiiit- Simmons K litni-In-(’liief A: M fMk M Sue Smi ' Iiiz Assislant Kilitm Hub ] i‘l( ' iilU ' f ( ' :ii iilr Hi a ibiiry Hiisj.ir s -Mana UT •lames I{i;mhiim rii(itiij;i apliei ' Matliaia llila.)

Democratic LIFE at AHS SCHOOL DIRECTORS PLOT COURSE New board members and problems of o proposed new liigh school were the issues and incidents of major import¬ ance for the Astoria board of school directors in the 1953-54 school year. Ccniinuing budget woes also beset the board and the superintendent of schools as they endeavored to shape a for¬ ward-looking school program not only for Astoria high school but the city elementary schools as well. Early lost summer the board added a new member Kermit Gimre, in the first election of the year. Later a second new board member was added when Wayne Oja resigned his KKiiMir (ii.Mii;:, lUirKrnii! i;i;ah m isAirirKV. iiiiiKri ' iii; LK.VNAirr KIISS. CIIAlirMA.N position .Directors named John McLoughlin to fill that gap. During the winter another board member, the chairman, Gordon Sloan, who had taken the leadership in the planning for the new high school, was forced to resign due to illness. Graham Barbey was elected to fill his vacancy until the June election. To fill the chairmanship the board chose Lennart Ross and named Mrs. Ethlyn Lindstrom as vice-chairman. With Gordon Sloan at the helm, in his last official act, the board named architects for the proposed new high school and went ahead with the multitude of plans end programs necessary to operate the school district. Portland architects Stewart and Richardson and Astoria ' s E. E. Isaacson were chosen to draw plans ( Democratic LIFE ot AHS . . Heading up the democratic and adminis¬ trative aspects of LIFE at AHS Robert C. Bush, principal, in his third year as the top man at the high school, continued the policies he started to draw more students into school government and spread the principles of dem¬ ocratic leadership throughout the school staff. In addition to providing leadership for nearly 600 students Principal Bush ' s croes include leading a staff of nearly 30 teachers and five custodial, kitchen and office helpers. Continued this year as innovations begun earlier in Mr. Bush ' s tenure were the expand¬ ed student council and the faculty council. Both these organizations are intended to spreod the responsibility of the school govern¬ ment and administration democratically among the people involved. Lending a helping hand to Mr. Bush in his work with the student council are Ralph Lind, vice-principal, Margaret Upham, dean of girls, and Marjorie Halderman, librarian. All the problems connected with the oper¬ ation of a school are channeled through the central office where Mr. Bush is assisted by Mrs. Louise Mallow, secretary, and a crew of high school girl office assistants. itoKKiiT c. isrsir I ' in.vcii ' .vi.

Democratic LIFE at AHS Sharing in the leadership chores at AHS are Ralph Lind, vice-principal, and Margaret Upham, dean of girls. Vice-principal Lind serves as second in command and in addition performs many functions in counseling and guidance. He aids Mr. Bush in the general direction of the school and the school staff. One major part of Mr. Lind ' s activity is helping students with scholarships to colleges. Finding jobs, choosing proper courses and school discipline, are other areas in which he performs a role in the democratic LIFE at AHS. Mr. Lind ' s opposite number is Margaret Upham, dean of girls, who performs for the girls many of the same functions Mr. Lind has charge of with the boys. Both serve the school in other capacities, Mr. Lind as advisor for the Rod and Gun club. Miss Upham as an English teach er and ad¬ visor for the Girls ' league. UNI I VICE-1’I!IN( ' II’. I, STAFF Not to be overlooked in LIFE at AHS are two important departments: the custodial staff and the kitchen staff. John Peterson, custodian, is assisted by James Larson, who is new to AHS this year. Two new faces operat¬ ed the school cafeteria this year, Mrs. Ann Sporre, head cook, and Mrs. Lucille Smith, assistant cook. .IllllN I ' ETKRSdN CrSTlIIH.VN .I.VMES l.. liS(l. Nl(;ill ' .I.WlTdl!

In addition to coordinating the activities of the other student body officers, presiding over the student council end other tasks, Prexy Smith served as the liason between the principal and the students as well as between the faculty and the students. Problems which faced Smith and his staff of student body officers came from the students and the administration. Thus policy questions arising both from the students and the administration came before the student government. A chief question tackled by this year ' s group of student leaders were problems in relation to the construction of a proposed new high school. Student committee ' s helped the city school administration solve many questions in school plant planning. In this and other ways Smith ' s administration left a lasting impression on the democratic LIFE at AHS. .IKItItV S.MITII ;-Tri K. r irinY ItdK liKlTKI! l(l.

Democratic LIFE at AHS FACULTY COUNCIL Something new in the chain of school administration, and unique in Oregon public schools, is the faculty council organized two years ago by Principal Robert C. Bush. Established as a group to share in the responsibility of operating the school and to share in planning the school pro¬ gram the faculty council serves as a cabinet for the admin istration. Solving tough daily problems is one of the chief jobs of the council. Members of the group are elected from the faculty at large each fall. The entire faculty selects the chairman. Routine questions, as well as major policy problems, come before the council in the operation of the school. Ques¬ tions which arise from the faculty are aired before the group and recommendations are made and then taken before the entire faculty. Reuben Jensen is chairman of the faculty this year. The council was starled two years ago. Carl Bourne served as the first faculty chairman. Chief job of the group is to help assure smooth opera¬ tion in the clem,ocratic LIFE at AHS. lIF.rilK.N .IKVSK.N l ' ll. U!M. .N F.V ri.TV ( ' (irNCII. .Minx KI.1. SS(IN I.YI.K . l.u:v WlIKKI.KI!

Through the years we have built up our student councils to the outstand¬ ing governing body it is today in the LIFE of AHS. The student council, under the direction of Jerry Smith, has proven itself outstanding this year in the work they have done. Under President Smith, were the 43 members made up of the home room representatives, class presidents and student body officers. Jon England, Judy Olsen, Jim Ochal, Marv Hautala, and Jerry Smith represented AHS at Region III Conference at Wv ' East. Most of the schools in Oregon participated in this con¬ ference. 14 . .

During the year meetings were held in Pa¬ triot ' s Hall. All girls at AHS become mem¬ bers of the League. This organization was headed by president, Barbara Hilao; vice president, Clea Schenk; secretary, Carol Leicht; treasurer, Marilyn Christensen; scrapbook keeper, Carole John¬ son; standard bearer, Shirley Fox; representa¬ tive to student store, Joyce Wilson; four class representatives, Marianne Hauke, Virginia Patson, Peggy Singleton and Suzanne Eng¬ land. sirnKNTs (:ai.iii;k Mftiilifis (L thr c.ihiiH ' t I ' iiMiin-iI alinM- tiniti li ' f ti in llii ' tii ' t :iic C.iiiil .InliiiMiii, (Ten Si ' licok, Mnrh.

These girls, together with Mrs. Mallow, office secrefary, contributed to the accuracy of the work performed by the office sfaff. They keep the student body and administra¬ tive LIFE running smoothly. The pleasant attitude of these girls makes it easier for fhe students and faculty to go to the office wifh their problems. They can al¬ ways find time to give someone help or run an extra errand. Just a few of fhe Office Sfaff ' s obligafions include taking care of the absentee slips, de¬ livering messages to teachers and students, answering the telephone, typing and doing the needed stencil work and acting as a gen¬ eral receptionist. rioint; tlie man.v ji bs in the office tills .vear are. from left to right in tile first row Mrs. Mallow, office secretary, .Marie Smith, Sliliiey Bry¬ ant, .leiina Singleton. .lanice Bar- tnlihis.

STUDENT STORE STAFF i A new innovotion to LIFE of AHS this yeor was the student store. Purpose of the store is to sell all school supplies, ice cream and milk. In previous years, these articles were sold by various organizations who put the proceeds into individual treasuries, but with the addition of the student store all proceeds go into the Student Body treasury. Each or¬ ganization can requisition the student store for a certain amount of money by submitting a budget to the student store executive. The selling is done by two representatives from each club which has requisitioned for money and each club or organization has a chance to sell for two weeks. The Student Store manager for this year was Al Stone and adviser for the store was Marjorie Halderman. 17 Democratic LIFE at AHS . . DEAN ' S LTS. Because the dean ' s room no longer sold supplies the lieutenant staff was reduced to two members this year. Formerly there were girls serving each period of the day in order to sell pencils, cough drops and Kleenex. With the student store selling these articles this year, there was no longer any need for girls to be on hand except for the periods the dean had classes. Shelby Miller, second period, and Trudy Schenk, sixth period, were the two girls who had the privilege of caring for girls who became ill during school hours. ■ Miss Upham, the new dean, had charge of counseling for the girls. Other duties that kept her busy were writing excuses and checking attendance. 18 HE ACADEMIC LIFE Classes . . Academic LIFE at AHS CLASS OF 1954 The colorful class of ' 54 began their LIFE at AHS in 1949 with a bang by winning first place for their homecoming float and putting on a Frosh Frolic. Where ' s The Fire their Soph Hop again proved their ability to get things done. As sophomores Qbls of the class participated in the newly formed Fisherettes, a marching un t which won praise all over the state. Dur¬ ing their sophomore year the class initiated a new subject to the curriculum, Social Stud¬ ies, which is now required to graduate. In their junior year they again excelled in the float making to take top honors, making it two out of three for the class of ' 54. Their d ' omatic ability was shown to the public by their pre;entation of Not in a Thousand li.Wlli UI.NKI.l. .IK.V.NKTl ' K I ' liVdII SK(’UKT. I!V .MIKK ( ' (IVLK SKI!1:K. NT . T . li. lS Years. As juniors they also put on the an¬ nual Junior Prom with Dreamland as the theme. Sportswise, the juniors contributecd many boys to the football, basketball, track and baseball teams. Not only did they con¬ tribute to the sports field but to every other high school activity. In the fall of 1953 the Class of ' 54 again took top honors in the float parade and set an unprecedented record of three out of four years. Silver Bells was the theme of their Senior Ball which proved to be a big success. With all other work out of the way, the seniors laid plans for their smash hit The Curious Savage a three-act comedy present¬ ed at the Armory. Spring came and the seniors looked for¬ ward to the future—class picnic, class day, and finally June third—Graduation, when they marched down the aisle to receive their diplomas.

Academic LIFE at AHS CLASS OF 1955 ATTer complel ' ing two very successful and active years the class of ' 55 enthusiastically ente ' ed its third year at AHS. They put out a fine float in the Homecom¬ ing Parade taking third place. Continuing on through the year the Juniors made a huge success of their first class play The Great Big Doorstep, a three act comedy which net¬ ted a fine profit. With this security the Junior Prom was produced, proving the ability to put on a for¬ mal dance. Mardi Gras was the theme and i. if i. II r ' r. i.. I ' liivsiiiK.sr they crowned a lovely queen. The Junior Class did much to the sports lineup by contributing many fine athletes to the football and basketball teams. The juniors partcipated in every high school activity and with their abundant energy and enthusiasm they have added much to their LIFE at AHS and the three years they have attended. The juniors have another year yet to prove again what a fine addition they are to As¬ toria High School. 31 i.u UK I iiiii 11 li |i ISKIi Academic LIFE ai ' AHS CHAULOTTK AN 1 lEKSaX SISAN ANIMU S CLAIUUA ATTIC BOH HAY FHANK BECHTOI.T TEH HEU ' ontT JOE HEIiCSTAU COKHON HUANTHOVEK SIIIHEEY HHYANT SEE I ' AI.ITT HILL CAIU.SON JIM t ' AlU!

Acodemic LIFE of AHS As freshman the Class of ' 56 entered Asto¬ ria High, curious but ready to go to work. They began to show their class interest by working together, through their social educa- rion classes, on various group activities, such as cleaning the trophies and keeping the school yard clean. Perhaps one of their most outstanding accomplishments was the annual Frosh Frolic. Their dance April in Paris carried out the idea of a Parisian sidewalk cafe, with murals of different sights of Paris on the walls. It was very colorful and proved to be one of the most successful donees of the year. In their sophomore year with Chuck Lind- strom as their president they produced an original float for the Homecoming Parade, a barbershop with the caption Remember CHICK I.I.MlSTltdM I’ltKSIHKNT Ai hiiKY iiiiiiii ucii::i.i,K (i!;KKNi:i:i!(: n.wic w.mcnki; VICK l•l;KSIllK T sr:cifi:T. in i i:.:. si i;:,;: When! Haircuts 25c. Their Homecoming princess was petite Nancy Wagner who smiled her prettiest in the parade for the sophomore class. The Soph Hop Red Party was another successful dance. It was a mock at commu¬ nism and was one of the few dances to hit the front page of the Astorian-Budget. As sophomores they too enjoyed all the thrills and knowledge which comes with that unfor- grettable subject. Biology. But like all of the rest, the girls managed to I ' ve through it and they with the boys learned much as well as enjoying the thrills of alligators, an octupus, snakes, salamanders ond mice. In the spring the girls gave their annual Girls League Mother ' s tea. With daffodils on the tables and pastel colors the spring motif was carried out very effectively. All the mothers had a nice time and the girls gained a lot of good experience from it. MMiM WKl.CII IiVISKI; 37 WM Academic LIFE of AHS 111 1.1. . I ' T(I I ' lKIKIll ' : HKKI.. I!

The frosh quickly became used to the swing of things. The class was, from the first, a well-organ¬ ized, co-operative group. The frosh demon¬ strated teamwork by putting out a Homecom¬ ing float that came in a close second. Their Homecoming princess was Carol Pilgard. Cleaning up school grounds and promoting the anti-cheating campaign were two of the ways in which the frosh worked for improve¬ ment of the school. They took active part in W.U.I.

Another main event sponsored by the frosh was the Frosh Frolic. Their dance, with the theme, Hawaiian Holiday, was one of the most successful put on at AHS. Another outstanding achievement of the class of ' 57 was their successful Fingerling football and basketball teams. There were even some freshmen on the JV and varsity teams. The class of ' 57 was very quick in becom¬ ing an active part of AHS. 41 A N.

FROSH FROLIC The Class of ' 57 presented their Frosh Frolic on April 2, in Patriots Hall. This annual affair was one of the most successful informal dances of th year. The dance is traditionally a cotton-and-cord affair. The freshmen, under Miss Fried¬ rich ' s guidance, worked hard to make their dance a success, using the theme Hawaiian Holiday. Commit¬ tee chairmen were Linda Thompson, Keith Korpela, Neil Morfitt, Mike Howell, Joanne Steele, Leona Graham, Sandy Winters, Henry Sjoblom, Wally Nelson, Bill Loomis and Jim Fleck. ■‘I u;nit fh.ll niiJ-!” 46 . . Social LIFZ al AHS SOPH HOP Amid Red S ars, emblems and Soviet emblems, the AHS students danced at the annual Soph Hop. This year the theme was The Red Party, and was held November 25 at Patriot ' s Hall. The entire class, working under the direction of the general chairman. Chuck Lindstrom, worked hard to put on their hop. Prizes were awarded dur¬ ing the evening, and refreshments were served to the students. The sophomores can be proud of their dance as they contributed much to the LIFE at AHS by carrying out their communist theme, contrasting greatly to out own Democratic society at AHS. I’l.N .

PEPSTERS LIFE at AHS during basketball and foot¬ ball season would not be quite the same were it not for the seven lively Pepsters. These seven girls act as a supplement to the Rally Squad by leading the songs played by our pep band. They have functioned at all home games, leading songs and drawing enthusiasm from the students since their origin This year the Pepsters include, Gail Soder- man, Pat Morrison, Pat Niemi, Carol Wolle- son, Judy Wogberg, Connie Winterstein and Pauline Jarvinen. Adviser for the group is Robert Bush. . . Active LIFE at AHS RALLY SQUAD We ' ve got the coach, was one of the many yells led by this year ' s varsity rally squad consisting of three members. Two of the many highlights for the varsity squad were the part they played in the Dis¬ trict 10 Tournament as hostesses and the bon-fire rally they helped sponsor in October. Working with the pep band again this year, under the direction of Harold Withnell, the varsity rally squad continued musical yells, to help make LIFE at AHS more melodious.

Two of them are classes in elementary Latin and the third is a class in advanced Latin, Each class functions as a separate organization and has its own set of elective officers. Miss Anne Bergman, language teacher at AHS, ' s both adviser and teacher for all three groups. Students participate in many activities throughout the year which are largely cen¬ tered around their study of Latin both in its elementary and advanced classes. Various types of programs and entertainments are conducted in the class room end as much as possible the students strive to learn the lan¬ guage as a tool. Projects by various club members are con¬ ducted throughout the year and are related in some way to the language study in which the student is engaged. iiKi THIS cirvzv i.. ' riN THIS IS . WOIiir.

They must hove an interest in them, however, because their two biggest projects are work having to do with football and basketball games. They sponsor an after-game dance at Patriots Hall and also a candidate for the Sweetheart Ball. This year, instead of sponsoring a pep assembly, they put on a bon-fire rally at the east end of Gyro Field. The officers for this year are James Bingham, President, Gene Cooley, Vice-President; Bill Normand, Secretary-Treas¬ urer; and Don Stephens, Sergeant-at-Arms.

Braving the rigors of cold stares of doubt¬ ing companions a group began working with Mrs. Edith Thorndyke last fall learning the tricks of the cooking, sewing and hemstitch¬ ing problems. First on the agenda were cocking classes which found the ham-handed cooks mak¬ ing cupcakes. Cupcake sales followed and the crew proved the excellence of their in¬ struction—(anyway the cakes were good!). Sewing sessions followed with the boys making aprons and other kitchen accessories.

Band numbers played and marched, adding novel light tricks to their bag of musical mysteries, at all home football games and made several trips throughout the foo ' .ball season. Highlights for the year were the annual band concerts and appearances before the public of segments of the group in solo or group performances. Looking ahead to next year band members see more hard work perfecting marching and musical skills. Band problems this year were handled by a group known as the band council which serves as a legislative arm for the group. 80 . , Artistic LIFE at AHS Fislierettfs pictiire l fnun l ft to ri ht in the crossbar au I tiiise Mak- int ' ii, Ainlri ' y IMim.

Artistic LIFE at AHS VOCAL MUSIC r.USTd I ' KSdl.A IMiKSIliKNI ' The vocal LIFE at AHS is becoming more and more interesting despite lack of funds for trips to various contests. In the future years there are hopes of a bigger and better vocal LIFE at AHS. The various groups ,such as Girls Glee, Madrigals and Choirs had a very outstanding year performing for the public as well as for school activities. The students receive good experience and also enjoy their work at the same time. This experience helps them get acquainted with the different types of songs and ways to present them. The 1 954 Vocal LIFE was brought to a close with the performance at commencement. riMK I ' di; I ' lt.WEU; (i.iil ( ' .jiprnter. .Imli N.incx S|itin ' 4iM 1 ni.i Vaughan. 83 Artistic LIFE at AHS MADRIGAL Tlie niMijii al .

On the alternate day individual sports activities are provided in conjunction with the health prog ram. The program is designed to arm AHS girls with sports skills and physical stamina, plus physical fitness, that will serve them well in latter life. srK.viiv svi.vi SWI ' .C A V 113 Rugged LIFE of AHS . . .

BUSH Principal Your 1954 view of LIFE at AHS began with a dedication and a tribu ' .e to one who in concluding her life of teach¬ ing and supervision of young — it ends on a note of dedi¬ cation to one who has given of his time and talent unstint- ingly and now moves on to grea ' .er fields to conquer. Just as AHS ' ers of 1955 end the future shall miss Anne Bergman, so, too, shall the same sense of loss be felt for Robert C. Bush, principal, who leaves this year to become as¬ sistant superintendent and to complete his doctor ' s degree, in California. More than eight years of his adult life have been dedi¬ cated to education in Astoria by Mr. Bush. He began as a coach in an elementary school and rose from there to vice¬ principal and principal of AHS. Under his administration, of the past three years as prin¬ cipal, democracy in action has been the keynote and expand¬ ed democratic activities for both students and teachers have been afforded. More participation in the student council, by students has been a paramount objective. Foremost always in the eye and mind of Mr. Bush has been the s‘ ' udent, his guidance and welfare. And interlaced with this student guidance and welafre has been a devotion to the education of young peo¬ ple to fit them for the world in which they live. To this end Mr. Bush has devoted a great share of his time and effort to the realistic adjustment o f curriculum, looking toward modern changes and invocations in the subjects offered at AHS. Those of us who graduate appreciate his guidance, pa¬ tience and leadership . those of us who remain behind say, reluctantly, . . . farewell and God speed. lit) THANKS, ASTORIAN-BUDGET A FINAL WORD . . .
