Students who happen to glance into the art room during the break are often impressed with the variety of projects displayed. These include copper tooling, burlap textile painting, mosaics, letter¬ ing, Christmas centerpieces, and pastel chalk portraits, all done under Mr. Gun¬ derson’s supervision. Mrs. Vorrath, help! This urgent plea can be heard above the hum of sewing machines from the home economics rooms where girls are learning another kind of art—that of homemaking. Tasty aromas float through the halls when these same students are practicing cook¬ ing, canning, or menu planning. Bill Gunderson, art instructor, seems to enjoy showing his students how to letter. Creative Arts Aroused Home economics teacher, Marilyn Vorrath, demonstrates correct sewing techniques to homemakers Joyce Herold, Bonnie Whitney, and Carol Buckman. Mrs. Vorrath re¬ ceived a Bachelor of Science degree in Kansas, and taught there before coming here with her husband and baby. 24

Planning events for the 1962 Homecoming are (seated) chairmen; D. Romp- panen, bonfire; C. Osterlund, coronation; A. Urell, alumni; E. Jacobson, general chairman; L. Thiel, dance; W. Varner, invitations; J. Maki, competition; (standing) Miss Halderman, adviser; M. Augustin, publicity; J. Reith, judging; S. Hendrickson, rally; J. Sculace, theme; O, Nygaard, halftime; and K. Wellman, parade. Columbus Day was chosen as appro¬ priate for Astoria ' s Homecoming game, but flying limbs, blowing debris, and hurricane-force winds changed many plans. The theme, Party Lights, proved ironical as the darkened town lacked electricity the appointed night of the game. The bonfire rally, alone, was held on schedule, although even it was hampered by rising winds. Monday afternoon, the revised date for the Centennial-Astoria game, found few alumni in the grandstand to see the 7 to 6 victory. On November 10, the dance, a month overdue, was finally given. Queen Gonul and her court had been presented at the Clackamas game the previous night. Typhoon Frieda made the ' 62 Homecoming one to be remem¬ bered. Typhoon Frieda” Changes Pat Arnold, supported by other Fishermen, sweeps end in Homecoming game against Centennial. Fie 2 TTTSrnfTf Ww fw ' ■ ! n Lj U
