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

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

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.
