Foreword IB 3 - ■k vi- • The atmosphere of a school is determined by the interests of its students. At Astoria High School, widely discussed topics range from our own activities to national happenings. All of these show our awareness of the world around us and the times in which we live. Between classes the halls ring with voices— Oh, that class! Who’s winning? Hey, do we get out early? While a few cram for a final exam, most of us use break-time to buy a snack, catch up on the latest news, and exchange complaints about the last test. In class we are likely to discuss such issues as the Cuban crisis, the U. N., and the border invasion of India, as well as those events which happen at home such as the Columbus Day storm and the building of the trans- Columbia bridge. Talk, as much a part of our school as the students, reflects our interests, opinions, and ideas. As Lewis Carroll once wrote in his poem The Walrus and the Carpenter, The time has come, the Walrus said, To talk of many things: Of shoes—-and ships—and sealing wax— Of cabbages and kings . . . Yes, we talk of many things, too. The yearbook staff, therefore chose the above quotation as the theme for the 1 963 Zephyrus. We have done our best to record the talked-about events of Astoria High School, hoping that they may stay alive for each of you. Astoria High School campus as seen from the air.

Principal Praises Accomplishments Seen here making one of his frequent phone calls, with the superintendent, parents, teachers, and students. Principal Bob Parnell keeps in close touch It has been my privilege to serve as principal of Astoria High School. This year again, the trend of the past has continued as new traditions, fine student leadership, high spirit, and morale have insured a successful school year. The most important trait developed, I believe, has been the increased awareness by Astoria High School students of the necessity for better self-discipline and self-direction in preparing for future ambitions and vocations. The administration and faculty are proud of the achievements and accomplishments of each student during the school year. We shall watch with interest your contribution to your community and applaud your successes after you leave your alma mater. 5
