History Recorded on Plaque These underclass girls take special notice of the dedication plaque. Although the pattern of school life has changed somewhat since the first Astoria High School class graduated in 1893, we are still proud to be known as the Fighting Fishermen. Our school, which was first housed in the old McClure building, later in the imposing brick structure at the head of Sixteenth Street (fondly referred to as “Far above Columbia’s waters”), is now in the expanded campus on Young’s Bay. The records show that the Associated Student Body of Astoria High School was organized in 1905 and has functioned continuously since then. In 1947, the auditorium was destroyed by fire. Adjustments were made but there was no stage for class plays or commencement exercises. The change from the old, well-used buildings to the modern, up-to-date class rooms, cafeteria, auditorium, and gym took place in 1957. Just last fall the memorial plaque, commemorating the erection of the new building, was dedicated. Fads, fashions, and traditions! How often the alumni recall them for us! The green ribbons the freshmen girls wore on Fridays—the “A” Club initiations—polishing the seal in front of the old high school—plays and talent shows in Patriots’ Hall—all these are memories now. But the traditions of the seniors going first to the auditorium—big and little sisters—Hello Day— Camping Week—class dances—still build memo¬ ries that make our school history. The Astoria Fishermen have always been well known in Oregon sporting circles, especially in basketball. They have been to the State Tournament many times, and have won six state championships in the last thirty years. They have also been Metro League football champions. More students than ever before are winning scholarships, honor and college offices. This is the constantly changing pattern of our Alma Mater. 6
