Ethlyn Lindstrom Chairman A small group of Astoria citizens, our school board, meets to¬ gether regularly with Mr. Wells, school superintendent. These citizens have the responsibility of hiring new teachers and making ends meet financially for the school. Also, they carry now on their shoulders the burden of building the new school. And they are not paid! Those long nights spent talking over school problems are voluntary. There is no school draft board, no hiring to be done, and no flowery speeches later, just work and time given freely. Their unselfish attitude shows their great loyalty to the school district. .

MR. WELLS STATED: Although it is not my privilege to work directly with the students of Astoria High School, I find my association with you rewarding. Your actions, your accomplishments, and your spirit are a never- ending source of pride to me. Although the condi¬ tions under which you have studied and worked in our present facilities have not been the best your accomplishments have been outstanding. It is my sincere hope and I ' m sure the hope of all the people of Astoria that the new high school building will be an inspiration to all of you. Dig that muddy Wells ! 5

Astoria High School students hove concluded another year in the school building that has served the community of Astoria for almost half a century. Morale has been high, and the students both en¬ thusiastic and cooperative. The progress we have made together has been most satisfactory. Next year we will be settled on our new campus. There the re¬ wards will be even greater, for we cannot help but be inspired by our attractive surroundings and mod¬ ern educational equipment. I never thought I ' d see the day! 7
