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

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

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
