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

. . . Student LIFE at AHS I1I1I ' M ' Icl II) liMi ' lli ' l, nllic.itoi , Ilii ' lll DEDICATION Student LIFE at AHS will hardly be the same when school starts next fall for Anne Bergman ,who retires this June ,will have concluded her thirty- sixth year as a teacher, friend and in¬ spiration to AHS students. 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-.
