w MM ' ' I ? .-’V i ’ 1 THE ZEPHYRUS 1961 Vol. 64 Published by: Astoria High School Astoria, Oregon Editor-in -Chief: Susan Foster TO ASTORIA Wishing to recognize our historic city in its Sesquicentennial year, we dedicate the ZEPHYRUS to Astoria. Our town has grown from a trading post, first settled in 1811, to a prosperous seaport city, known especially for its fishing and lum¬ bering industries and the Tongue Point Naval Base. We are proud to live in the oldest American settlement west of the Rocky Mountains. It seems fitting that the names of our early explorers have lingered on in the names of our schools, our rivers and other landmarks. Captain Robert Gray, who discovered and named the Colum¬ bia River for his own ship,- Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, whose over¬ land expedition and winter encampment here gave us claim to the territory,- and John Jacob Astor, who financed that first fur trading company, were among the first comers. But there have been many others down through the years who have helped in the development of our town. Today we wish to salute not only the early pioneers, but all who have made their homes here, and built our community. The days of gill netting in sailing boats are gone. Astoria has almost forgotten the disastrous fire of 1922 and is talking of a bridge, which we hope will soon be built across the river. As we remember the past, we look forward to an even brighter future for Astoria. The Astor Column, erected by the Great North¬ ern Railroad and the relatives of John Jacob Astor, is a st .king landmark, which depicts the early history 1 r Clatsop County. l fTTWl WHWHiil CLATSOP COUNTY Up.. � ssssd 1 pniti 8 bw 4 i f „ | 5p 4 ri 14 • ,E Hb ' 1 ' ' - ' W“ mi%£- if • JBMW rl ;; If One of the most picturesque views in the Lower Columbia area is that of the fishing boats riding at anchor in Astoria ' s West End Mooring Base. Gillnetters, trawlers, draggers, trollers, all bring in their catches of salmon, bottomfish, tuna, or shrimp to the local waterfront can¬ neries. After unloading is completed, the captains pilot their vessels into the quiet waters of the mooring base where repairs and net work can be done. 4 ZEPHYRUS STAFF 4j SUSAN FOSTER, Editor-in-Chief JOE COULOMBE, Business Manager PATRICIA ULMER, Assistant Business Manager BETTY WINTERS, Photography Cc-ordi- nator DON HEINO, Academic Editor EVA UUNILA, Activities Editor DAN CHENEY, Art Editor JOHN ROSENDALE, Club Editor KATHY BIDDLE, Index Editor SUSAN LA PLANTE, Layout Editor PATRICIA CLARKE, Literary Editor EDWARD NIEMI, Sports Editor CATHY TUCKER, Senior Editor LAILA UUNILA, Junior Editor CHARLENE ROGERS, Sophomore Editor GLORIA GUSTAFSON, Freshman Editor MRS.

Hello to you the Astoria way. Hi!’’ OUR SCHOOL DAY Taking time out for a picture during a school board meeting are: Arthur G. Stangland; Dr. John Hickman, chairman; Douglas V. Olds, Dr. Charles W. Browning, Vernon L. Mogenson, Robert S. Lovell, superintendent; and Helen E. Murray, clerk. ASTORIA SCHOOLS ABLY RUN The Academic program at A.H.S. has become one of the best in the state, under the able guidance of Mr. Douglas Olds, superintendent of schools, and the board of directors. These busy people must struggle with the problems of hiring teachers, adopting a budget, and many other business details that are necessary in the running of a first class school dis¬ trict. Mr. Olds is a spirited supporter of the local sports program, attempting to attend as many events as possible. Both his interest in the education of the youth and in their activities and welfare have made him well-known and respected by students and townspeople alike. Mr. Olds graciously gives his valuable time for our Zephyrus photo. 10 This page is sponsored by DARIGOLD FARMS Established in 1922 ADMINISTRATORS CONFER OFTEN Mr. Parnell assists Mr. Skaggs in making one of the many decisions necessary for school operation. One can find Mr. Albert Skaggs, principal of A.H.S., interested and at work in every phase of high school life. Several hours of each day are spent counseling stu¬ dents and attending student council meetings and as¬ semblies. In his leisure time, Mr. Skaggs can be found at home enjoying the company of his wife and four children, or out on the golf course. According to Mr. Skaggs, This has been one of As¬ toria High ' s fnest years. The students are to be con¬ gratulated on their growing realization that school is to be taken seriously. With the three-fold job of vice-principal, deal of boys, and athletic coordinator, Mr. Robert Parnell, who has been at Astoria High School for three years, finds his days busy. Much of each day is spent counseling boys with problems and, also, aiding them in finding the right field for a vocation. Our vice-principal, also, enjoys golf as a hobby and likes to spend time with his wife and two children. When asked what he thought of the students ' at¬ titudes, Mr. Parnell commented that the sportsmanship of the students is very good and their enthusiasm com¬ mendable. 11 COUNSELORS APPROVE ADDITIONAL Miss Halderman shows Miss Friedrich, Miss Upham, and Mr. Sorenson some of the valuable material on file in the library. These teachers work closely with the students as guid¬ ance counselors. Besides instructing English classes, Margaret Upham serves as Dean of Girls. Each day, although kept busy writing pre-excuses and absentee slips, she finds time to counsel girls who come to her with their problems. Eugene Sorenson, director of guidance, helps students determine their educational and vocational goals and assists them in scheduling classes. When she is not teaching social education and geog¬ raphy, Anna Marie Friedrich can be found administering aptitude, scholastic, or interest tests to A.H.S. ' ers. Marjorie Halderman, who is in charge of the school library, teaches library methods to student assistants. Much of her time is taken up in advising the student body officers and council. 12 CLASSES What’s New A favorite expression each fall when school opens is, What ' s new? The things that are different make each year unique. Appearing for the first time this win¬ ter was the giant figure of the Fighting Fisherman , painted with his catch on the wall of the gym. Fresh outlooks and even heart-throbs for certain members of the student body were supplied by the seven new faculty members. The school betterment committee, the shorter skirts, the lunchroom music, and the largest freshman class all added something new this year. The Fighting Fisherman hauls in his catch. Advanced Biology students dissect a squid. Mr. Hautala supervises machine shop students. Practical experience gained by P.E. assistants. Good books, teachers and physical facilities aid learning. True education is achieved only through study. STUDY IS BASIS OF LEARNING Music appreciation is often taught through the fine records available. Miss Halderman helps Paul Soderman choose one of these. Choice Offered Although activities form a major in¬ terest during the school year, the real foundation of the high school is its academic program of studies. Learning is the business of the school and it can only be achieved through study. To the student who wishes to learn today there is a wide choice of elective subjects at Astoria High School ranging from machine shop to library methods. Not only scholastic courses are offered such as four years of math¬ ematics, advanced classes in science, three foreign languages, and, of course, the required courses in the fields of history and language arts,- but also classes in music, art, business, physical education, shop and home economics. Valuable aids in making wise deci¬ sions are given by faculty counselors, aptitude tests and guidance material supplied through the library. 14 Language arts teachers conferring on a mutual problem are Miss Curry, Mrs. Egan, Mrs. Swanson, Mrs. Christensen, Mrs. Nopson, Miss Thorne, Mr. Basaraba, Mr. Sanders and Mr. Carlson. LANGUAGE SKILLS ESSENTIAL Learning to write well can be a purposeful, satisfying experience, and writing is one of the fields which the language arts department stresses in its course of study. Read¬ ing, listening, and speaking are other skills improved through train¬ ing. Recent increased interest in classes of French, Latin, and Spanish indicate that Astoria students realize the value of bilingual study. Other electives which offer activ¬ ities as well as class work are speech, journalism and drama. Miss Thorne makes learning a foreign language a memorable experience for her students. 15 JOB PREPARATION STARTED Typical of American schools today, the vocational and business depart¬ ments of Astoria High School offer the students a broad choice of subjects which increase their skills and talents. Basic fundamentals in crafts and trades are taught in well-equipped shops and business rooms. Shutter Bugs, as amateur photog¬ raphers are often called, are instructed in the essential tricks of photography. Distributive Education is offered to those students wishing part-time em¬ ployment during school hours. Such a program grants that the students re¬ ceive school credit for their work as well as for their academic courses. Child care is studied in home economics. Mr. Baesler demonstr ates the rudiments of typing to the voca¬ tional and business teachers. Looking on are Mr. Jensen, Mr. Hauh- tala. Miss Baker, Miss Hugg, Mr. Rothwell, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Hie- stand, and Mr. Fink. P. E. DEVELOPS BODY, MIND Although usually found supervising physical education classes, Mr. Mosby, Mrs. Layton, and Mr. Phillips are seen relaxing for a minute on the horse, a piece of the gymnasium equipment. Fitness Important Physical Education is a very important part of a school ' s program because it is the only course which helps a student improve his physical as well as his mental abilities. The exercises, sports, and games are essential to normal bodily growth and well-being, while they also teach a student teamwork and aid him in developing qualities of both a follower and a leader. Although P.E. is a required course for lower classmen, many juniors and seniors elect to con¬ tinue gym classes because they enjoy a daily workout and the athletic activities. Dan Brandon works out on the bar in the gym while Kenneth Brown and Eugene Hughes act as his spotters. 17 Always interested in new equipment, the math and science teachers Mr. Reuter, Mr. Evans, Mr. Gross, Mr. Clark and Mrs. Jensen watch Mr. Scott demonstrate the cycloid generator. MATH, SCIENCE EMPHASIZED Since the launching of Sputnik, American schools have encouraged their students to study more math and science, and A.H.S. is one of these schools in which an increased number of students are taking ad¬ vanced courses in these fields. Having learned the basic funda¬ mentals of math and science in high school, Astoria students will have sufficient background to study them more widely and thoroughly in col¬ lege. Perhaps after graduation they will become some of the scientists or engineers which the United States needs so badly. Dan Mahoney and Gerald Dye make use of the modern lab equipment in working out a chemistry experiment. 18 JR. CITIZENS ASK QUESTIONS Miss Friedrich encourages discussion in fresh¬ man social education class. What started the struggle between communism and democracy in the world? What nations make up the Far East? What is in the Constitution of the United States? How can we become better cit¬ izens? These are a few of the questions students encounter in the various social studies courses taught at A.H.S. These courses give students a knowledge of the world ' s history, and reveal to them how the differences in beliefs, opinions, and ways of life came about among the peoples of the earth. Dan Mahoney debates on current topic in U. S. history. Models of ways of life often help make social studies more vital to students. Pictured above Mrs. Nyland, Miss Crouter, Mrs. Gau¬ thier, Mr. Gunderson and Mr. Bryant look at a model made by a world history student. 19 Who are the Fishermen? We are the Fishermen.

High school . . . We ' re here at last . . . just think — hamburgers, milk shakes, potato chips — anything we want for lunch . . . four years of homecoming parades, games, and dances . . . We freshmen entered school last fall full of anticipation . . . How scared and shy we were, but still very eager to begin a new phase of our journey to adulthood ... so many new faces . . . new names to be learned . . . new friends to be made. What a beautiful building! . . . but such a maze . . . Would we ever be able to find our way from one class to another without getting lost in the stampede along the way? . . . Those upperclassmen were so big . . . They know everything . . . What a friendly and help¬ ful faculty . . . Our Social Ed. teachers even took us on a conducted tour of the building . . . and our won¬ derful, patient, long-suffering advisers . . . Miss Fried¬ rich, Mrs. Nopson, and Mr. Phillips . . . Who said teachers aren ' t human? Then there was the thrill of being part of the Astoria High School spirit at the pep assemblies ... the excite¬ ment of yelling ourselves hoarse at our first football games even though our toes were freezing . . . the satis¬ faction of working together as a class for the first time and constructing a unique float for the homecoming parade. Gradually the newness wore off and before we knew it we wondered how it ever could have seemed strange or confusing . . . The weeks flew by and soon it was Christmas . . . Oh, how welcome that vacation was . . . Then came basketball season . . . Our time was filled with games, dances, club activities, and plenty of that excellent time consumer, which the teachers were thoughtful enough to provide us with — homework . . . Semester exams . . . Why didn ' t I learn this stuff be¬ fore . . . and at long last another vacation . . . Spring! . . . While the world of nature was awakening from a winter s nap, we were taking Iowa tests . . . Gee, I never knew there was so much I didn ' t know . . . putting on our Frosh Frolic . . . It sure was a lot of work, but it was worth it . . . Finally after the flurry of final tests our first year of high school was over . . . Although we are very glad to see summer come, we shall, neverthe¬ less, be eager to return next year as sophomores. 62 IN HISTORY OF ASTORIA HIGH Carol Albertsen Carolyn Aho Pal Arnold Ardynne Ashley Cheri Askeland Gary Aspmo Hundley Bergstad Tom Bergstrom Leslie Blaize Gene Blomquist Delores Bolton Phyllis Bolton Dean Burget Bob Chessman Gerry Chopping Jerry Coulombe Ken Crawford Karen Cunningham Karin Efaw Charlene Elliott Joan Elliott Ron Ellsworth Larry Enslow Diane Erickson Linda Atwood Don Barrows Bob Basel Ted Baughman Ed Bell Mike Berger Arlouene Curry Roy Dailey Jay Dietrichs Robin Dill Jeri Doane Charles Eastland Saundra Boyd Mac Bradshaw Gary Brown Mary Brown Joan Browning Sharon Bue 63 Harold Eubanks Peggy Falleur Donna Field Christina Fisher Kurt Fluhrer Sharon Fornas Kenneth Graham Paul Granlee Judy Granstrom Sherry Granstrom Dia Graves Edna Gray Emagene Grundman Kenneth Gustafson Gary Green Lee Grey Robert Hastings Frosh Eagerly Embark Bonnie Hagestedt Terry Hales Sandy Hall Tom Hamilton Annette Hancey Mike Hanlon Dave Helmerson Jim Henderson Alan Hendrickson Brenda Herrin Joyce Herold Leuin Holdiman 64 Diana Holt Larry Holt Jack Huhtala Diana Irby William Jarvi Irene Jessen Gregory Johansen Lorraine Johansen Lucille Johansen Dan Johnson Janice Johnson Mary Jurvakainen Kenny Kahl Pat Killion Lewis Kinder Gail Knapp Carolyn Knutinen Robert Kottke Ken Kraus School Career Rick Kurle Tommy Kyle Connie Lang Donald Larson Wayne Larsen Joanna Lofgren Henry Lonberg Tom Lowold Carolyn Mackey Michele Makela Karen Mansveld Jon Marsh John Martin Robin McDoniel Steve McKeon John McLoughlin Kathie Messer John Middlebrook Don Mogenson Ken Moore 65 The Frosh Council, which consists of D.

Office Girls Help Under the guidance of the school secretaries, the office girls learn to run office machines and also learn the procedures necessary to keeping the office running smoothly. Experience is the reward of the office girl. Office girls, Sandra Kercher (at left) and Dorothy Netz re¬ lieve the secretaries of routine tasks. Secretaries Assist Always ready to help both faculty and stu¬ dents are A.H.S. secretaries, Mrs. Alma Clarke and Mrs. Hilkka Egtvedt. Everything, including aiding new students, collecting fees, and handling everyday business and correspondence, falls into the hands of these two capable secretaries. This page is sponsored by JOHNSON MOTOR COMPANY 1625 Exchange Street Established in 1926 Hilkka Egtvedt and Alma Clarke, Astoria High secretaries, pool their re¬ sources to solve an office problem. 70 QUOTE: WORK IS NEVER DONE” After making breakfast for their families at home, the cooks at A.H.S. work all morning preparing nutritious meals for the students. Fixing foods from salads to desserts, they set up both an a la carte menu and a plate lunch. Three of the staff are mothers of high school students and Mrs. Hiestand, the cafeteria supervisor, is the wife of Mr. John Hiestand of the faculty. A.H.S. cooks seem happy to be cornered for a picture. They are Pauline Kantrat, Mildred Hiestand, Anne Knutinen, Lucille Smith, Gertrude Wright, Ethel Alsbury, and Elsie Smith. Working in shifts, from six o ' clock in the morning until midnight, the school custodians are responsible for keeping the buildings in tip top shape, running the furnaces, cleaning up after games, dances and plays, and keeping the lawns and flower beds groomed. Night classes make their tasks doubly hard. Moving furniture is only one of the jobs of the school custodians. Three of the force pictured here are Rudy Ranta, Sig Smith and Vic Stangland. 71 Astoria Fishermen, Get a little fire! Make our clubs Grow bigger, higher!

VARIES AGENDA Mr. Sorenson and Bruce Wesche admire the new jackets purchased for the Boosters Boys by the Boys ' Fed. The Boys ' Federation, headed by Bruce Wesche, has been the sponsoring organization of many of the activities for male members of the student body. Through the media of speakers and movies, programs have been presented on such subjects as law enforcement, and traffic and hunting safety. New students are welcomed, and soon become a part of the working or¬ ganization. This page is sponsored by FISHER BROS.

BOOSTER BOYS KEEP ORDER The Booster Boys, identified by their colorful purple and gold jackets, have often been dubbed the trouble¬ shooters of school athletic functions. The you-name-it-we-do-it boys are vital to the general good order sur¬ rounding the athletic contests. Their actions demonstrate the mean¬ ing of school spirit and good citizen¬ ship to all.

ZEPHYRUS RECORDS ALL EVENTS Compiling an accurate and repre¬ sentative yearbook for the student body has been the main goal of the 1961 Zephyrus staff. The annual is the only permanent written and pictoral record of each school year. Besides planning the original layouts, indexing names, and writing copy, the staff must manage the financing of the publication. The photography depart¬ ment takes and develops all of the pictures. Susan Foster, the editor-in-chief, and Joe Coulombe, the business manager, assisted by Mrs. Christensen and Mr. Basaraba, have headed the multiple projects that have been accurately exe¬ cuted. Janice Snow, editor elect, and her selected staff are looking forward to the next yearbook. Mary LeMond, Zephyrus photographer, positions S. LaPlante, D. Cheney, and E.

NAT’L HONOR GIVES RECOGNITION The National Honor Society recog¬ nizes outstanding students who have shown excellent qualities of character, service and leadership, and have made commendable scholarship records. Just the upper fourth of the junior and senior classes are eligible for con¬ sideration. With only eight per cent of the juniors and twelve and one half per cent of the seniors finally elected by a vote of the faculty, this is an honor well worth the effort it costs. Mary Lee LeMond and Suzanne Seeborg are among initiates who are inducted into the National Honor Society before the assembly. Members assisting in the ceremony are Betty Winters, John Miller, Susan Larson, Susie Foster, and Janice Larson. 82 This page is sponsored by OWEN-PEEKE COMPANY Established in 1913 JR.

Now in its fourth year, the math club has increased its membership since students have come to realize the im¬ portance of extended training in this field of study. Advised by Mr. Reuter, the club takes trips of interest and views films and material on this subject. John Kaakinen, outstanding math student, demonstrates how he does a Trig problem.

LATIN COMES ALIVE IN CLUB The Astoria Chapter of the Latin Club has, in recent years, grown to be one of the largest clubs in school. The group looks forward each year to its Roman banquet, which is given in true Patrician style — with all members reclining around low tables enjoying exotic foods. All is not fun, however, for members take national tests and undertake re¬ search projects on Roman history. Old Rome is brought to Astoria High at the annual Latin banquet. The toga-attired stu¬ dents, for a while, assume the perso nalities of early Romans.

On Fridays, reports and various pieces of literature brought the people of the Spanish¬ speaking countries into the class room. Some of the more interested gained insight through the aid of penpals.

FRENCH CULTURE SCANNED Introduction to France through a study of its language and customs is an educational experi¬ ence available to Astoria students. The French Club was formed to add interest to the academic studies. This group met every Friday when French conversations, newspapers and movies were the order of the day. Social events on the calendar were a club tea with decorated sandwiches the piece de resist¬ ance and an aftergame dance entitled Mount Blanc. The Little Restaurant was a popular place at the Mont Blanc after-game dance put on by the French Club. The informal atmosphere of a ski lodge was chosen as the theme of the French Club after-game dance. I. R. L. STUDIES WORLD PROBLEMS The Astoria Chapter of the Interna¬ tional Relations League was again hon¬ ored with a state office this year when Laila Uunila was elected state historian at the conference on the Oregon Cam¬ pus. Preparation for the model United Nations, which was the main feature of this state meeting, was the chief interest of the local group. Nine members, ac¬ companied by Mrs. Nyland and Mrs. Gauthier, went to Eugene as delegates to the U.N. from Saudi Arabia. Miss Maud Crouter, who has been an en¬ thusiastic adviser of the I.R.L. since its organization in March, 1947, will retire to the more restful occupation of gar¬ dening at the end of this year. Delegates to the Model U.N. meeting take a final check on the Charter for World Security. These International Relations League members are interested in world affairs.

Fisherettes, Astoria High ' s drill team and marching group, are well known in the Lower Columbia area. These freshman and sophomore girls are drilled and advised by Mrs. Layton during their P.E. period. Appearing at all home games as half time entertainment, marching in the homecoming and Regatta parades, and putting on a dance keep these trim, en¬ ergetic girls quite busy. 97 _ Astoria High ' s peppy pepsters Valerie Titus, Judie Maddox, Judy Petersen, Cheryl Sandy Richardson, Dorothy Gerritz, and Judy Benson are practicing one of their intricate Westman, routines. RALLY, PEPSTERS SPARK SPIRIT Let ' s hear one big Astoria, Who ' s got the bestest team in the league? These words were yelled countless times by this year ' s Varsity Rally Squad. Besides leading the rooters in cheering the team on to victory, the Rally planned and directed the pep assemblies. Straw hats, canes, swinging pom poms, and twirling skirts of Pepsters sparked all Astoria High School games and pep assemblies. To the Rally and Pepsters is assigned the additional task maintaining school spirit at all sports activities. UNDERCLASS RALLY SPIRITED The J.V. rally demonstrates its ability to lead yells. Members are Lena Paulson, Susie Hendrickson, Claudia Marshall, Nancy Hoagland, and Ann Williams. J.Y. Rally Cheering, clapping, leading their class¬ mates in yells are the responsibilities of the trim J.V. Squad, elected by the class of ' 63. This year ' s squad took their duties seriously. Besides yelling at games, these girls have been kept busy devising routines and serving on the sophomore executive council. Working together for the first time as members of the Frosh Rally Squad are Lorraine Johansen, Bonnie Hagestedt, Sarah Morrow, Janice Parpola and Lucille Johansen. Frosh Rally After fun-filled try-outs and a suspenseful election, the first job of the new Frosh Rally Squad was orienting themselves to their new position. The girls found, that in spite of small attendance, enthusiasm ran high at the frosh games. These ambitious girls also worked on the frosh pep skit, and contributed much time to the Freshman Cabinet. 100 This page is sponsored by BUILDERS SUPPLY CO.

The A Club, under the leadership of George Oja, has taken charge of as¬ semblies and student disciplinary meas¬ ures around the school again this year. Members can be seen at every home game and pep assembly setting up bleachers, unrolling mats, and holding ropes to keep people off the court. Ade¬ quate seating space at Gyro this fall was provided through the hard work of this group, which moved the bleachers from the armory.

Lucia and Ann Altheide, Astoria ' s exchange student to Germany last summer, compare notes of their travels. Lucia Lucy Cochi, 18, from Rome, Italy, was A.H.S. ' s second foreign exchange student. She was brought here through the program of the American Field Service, headed in this area by Mrs. Robert Lovell. The attractive, likeable girl, while in Astoria, lived with Mr. and Mrs. Al Mather and their daughter, Carol. Adept in English even on arrival, Lucy fitted quickly into her new life, thoroughly enjoying school and social activities and making herself a real fisherman by be¬ ing a member of the Service Club. She was willing to share her knowledge and experi¬ ence. One evening a week she taught Italian to willing classmates, and after the first of the year spoke to civic groups and participated in foreign exchange school visits. Lucy, enrolled as a senior here, graduated with the class of ' 61 before returning to Italy in June. Side by side we stand to¬ gether, High her banners hold.

Homecoming I960, with its colorful gaiety of parade, pep rally, football game, and dance will be memorable to the alumni and students alike. A special wel¬ come was accorded the Astoria graduates through greeting signs in downtown win¬ dows and the alumni tea that was held in the school cafeteria. The Mardi Gras theme created enthu¬ siasm and keen competition between classes. For the third consecutive year, the class of ' 62 was awarded the Homecoming trophy for outstanding competition in the parade and the rally. Although they lost, the Fishermen showed their fighting spirit in the exciting game with David Douglas. The Homecoming dance completed the festivities.

The dramatics class is arranged for those students who have always wanted to be in a play. It is fun, but it is also work. To give practical experience and play¬ ing roles, the A.H.S. class, under the direction of Mrs. Christensen, has put on two programs of one-act plays this year. Giving play reviews, studying voice con¬ trol, pantomiming, and makeup artistry are some of their other projects. “What beautiful weather we ' re having today, says Gregori Smirnov to Mrs. Popov in the de¬ lightful play The Boor. Playing the parts are Dennis Smith and Kathryn Jensen. I was just about to nick — Nick! says Jim Pe- sonen to Gary LaMarr in the Mystery of Mouldy Manor. The others pictured are J. Piippo, L.

The snowflaked ceiling, the frosted windows, the delightful winter mural captured the enchantment of winter. Highlighting the evening was the crowning of Judy Benson as queen of the ball, by class president, Joey Leahy. Her court of lovely princesses included Lucia Cochi, Sandi Esko, Sharon Kubik, and Cheryl Westman. Specials of ' the evening were the live orchestra from Portland and talented seniors who provided additional entertainment. What a perfect dance! 110 QUEEN SALLY REIGNS AT PROM From the moment the guests entered the ball room, coming over the bridge and through the arbor, they felt the magic of Some Enchanted Evening, the night of the Junior Prom. The twinkling lights shone on murals of summer meadows and dancing silhouettes, and the beautifully decorated throne room made a fitting setting for the Junior court. After dancing to the dreamy music of the Melo- Tones from Centennial High, couples waited expectantly for the presentation of the queen. She proved to be popular Sally Hoff, who was immediately crowned Queen Sally by Bill Cunningham, junior class vice- president. Special entertainers for the royal court were the Junior Trio and Margene Sorenson, who gave a ballet solo. Live music adds extra something to the Junior Prom.

Ill ORIENTAL FANTASY INTRIGUING The night of the Soph Hop, Oriental Fantasy became a reality when one entered the cafeteria through a pas¬ sage bordered by lacy pink trees. A rickshaw, Japanese lanterns, the customary tea table and other decora¬ tions typical of the Far East all added enchantment to the decore. The Soph Trio and a humoious skit by a group of class sailors provided special entertainment. Informal dress is the mode at the dreamy soph hop.

BAND This is by far the finest band I have ever worked with ' stated Mr. Ted Marshall, director of music at As¬ toria High. The validity of this statement can be measured by the widespread audi¬ ence approval and countless compli¬ ments which the band received. After an auspicious winter concert Astoria ' s band was honored by being chosen as one of the three high school bands in six states to perform at the Northwest Music Educators ' Conference held in Spokane in March. A Send the band to Spokane fund¬ raising campaign financed the trip, and the band ' s performance at the clinic won the praises of the attending music directors. Among other engagements, the band performed at A.H.S. home foot¬ ball games, the Metro League Festival, the spring concert, and at graduation.

Rated as another success for the sen¬ iors, Mother is a Freshman was pre¬ sented by Mr. Carl Carlson, the comedy gave a new lift to play presentations here. The problems which occur when a girl ' s mother attends college with her daughter are the basis of the plot. Leslie Jollie, in her leading part, played the mother, Abigail, who attracts the college boys as well as Professor Michaels (Jerry Utti) to her sjde as she opposes Dean Gillingham (Bill Brennan). Her daughter (Dee Dee Granlee) tries unsuccessfully to face the fact that her mother is a Freshman. Like all good comedies it all ends happily. Seniors Ham it up for the camera. 122 JUNIOR PLAY TISH” SUCCESS Tish, a lively, fast-moving comedy, produced by the Junior Class, under the direction of Mr. William Reuter, enter¬ tained record audiences on the second and third of February. Tish (Laila Uunila), a woman whose severe, domineering exterior hides a soft heart, is a close friend of Lizzie (Margaret Miller), and Aggie (Susan Hendrickson). These ladies are constantly getting into scrapes to the chagrin of Tish ' s nephew, Charlie Sands (Vernon Fowler). However, their mishaps are offset by the romance of Charlie and Ellen (Sheryl Hansen), the owner of the hotel. In her review, in the Daily Astorian, Phillippa Seabrook stated that a big audience liked the play. Oh, Tishl says Susie during rehearsal for the play. You ' ll do nothing of the sort, cried Tish (Laila Uunila) to the sheriff (Ralph Brown).

Ducich, K. Husby, H. Dorr, J. At the beginning of the year, Astoria ' s team was rated potentially strong. The first games of the season started hopefully with a 3—1 win-loss record. Upsetting Central Catholic 14—7 was a surprise win, but for some reason, according to Coach Bryant, the winning peak was reached during that game, and was not held. In spite of critical injuries and stiff opposition, the Fishermen finished the season with a final record of four wins and five losses. Hard-running Ron Biddle garnered fifty-four points to make him Astoria ' s top scorer and Metro League ' s fifth highest point maker. John Bunke and Rick Williams were nominated to the Metro All Stars, and Ron Biddle, Glen Chestnut, Vernon Fowler, and Jeff Lampa received honorable mentions. Tom Flippo was voted most inspirational football player by his teammates and was awarded a plaque at the Lettermen ' s Banquet. The first string was well-supported by the Bone Squad, those unnoticed second stringers who helped perfect the plays and backed their teammates from the bench. Next years team promises to have a strong, experi¬ enced line. Backfield hopes depend on this year ' s strong J.V. s who have gained experience through their own successful season. 126 LEAGUE HONORS Well done, Jeff! date team we they Sept. 9 Gresham . 26 0 17 Sunset . 0 13 23 Centennial . 20 7 30 Central . 14 7 Oct. 7 David Douglas . 6 26 14 Milwaukie . 12 25 21 Clackamas . 20 0 28 Hillsboro . 7 20 Nov. 4 Beaverton . 7 13 Managers M.

BASKETBALL POPULAR AT A. H. S. Astoria upset pre-season predictions by battling to a fourth place tie in the tough hoop action of the Metro league this year. Although hampered by a lack of returning lettermen, Jerry Mosby ' s short Fish¬ ermen netted wins over some of the league ' s best and proved themselves to be the sleeper of the league. Three of the hoopsters were nominated to Metro All-Star posts. George Oja and Dave Romppanen made second string, and Bruce Wesche garnered honorable mention. Coach Mosby will move up to athletic Director next year, but leaves behind an impressive 85—34 win-loss record during his five years as head basket¬ ball coach at Astoria High. Captain George Oja holds his men in line. 130 Put it in! cries the crowd. 1960-61 Varsity Basketball 1 We They Longview . . . . Here 61 46 Longview . ... There 61 39 Corvallis . ...
