OPPORTUNITY. I believe that 1 should r accept the challenge that each opportuni- ■ ty in the classroom L and activities may offer me, and do my best to reach the highest success. tional. INSPIRATION. I believe that 1 should try to set an example of good citizenship in school and com¬ munity life, and to develop a pride in my school and com¬ munity. ASTORIA HIGH. I believe that all my actions in school and in public should reflect nothing but good toward our Astoria High School and the reputation of its students. Although we love that good old summer vacation, we arc always ready to return to student life each September. It is enjoyable, full of fun, but packed with lots of homework, tests, and many responsibilities. School activities take up most ot our leisure time. We usually devote our weekends to games, dances, and, of course, our studies. School spirit is alive in A.H.S. Save me a seat at the game, or Better hurry and sign up for the bus trip if you want to go, are oft repeated. Astoria High has many unusual activities, too. Powder Puff loot- ball is a highlight for both the girls who play and the spectators. 1 he Smash,” introduced last fall, made quite a hit among students who paid for the privilege of smashing” a car. Almost everyone takes part in the pep assemblies. I he purpose ol these is to get fired up lor the games. But sometimes a few can spoil it for all. However, the conscientious student council has taken effective- action to control the situation this year. Third period classes try to choose good representatives to be their voices in the student government. Working with administrative approval the council guides student affairs. One of the current projects, received with enthusiasm, was the moving of the school seal trom the old high to the new. If a stranger were to visit at Astoria High, he would see the students talking casually, often seriously, or just goofing off. When classes take up most everyone settles down to a serious academic life. During the break we may be seen going to meetings, walking or talking in the halls, or chowing down at the snack bar. At the split-lunch periods, he may hear, It s an eternity before you get your toed, the hn s ar so long, or Gee! 11 those upperclassmen don t quit crowding I d never get my tray.” The halls are jammed when the bell rings to switch classes. But it doesn ' t compare to the bustle we have when the dismissal bell rings, and the kids make their exit from a normal school day. Relaxing with friends before classes resume, A.H.S. ers congregate on the lawn. 9
