B H. S. Hosts Region III Meeting This Year Hosting the Region III meeting at Astoria High School this spring has been one of the responsibilities and privi¬ leges of the student body officers this year. Nancy Van Osdol, our student body treasurer, is treasurer of Region III and played an important part at their meetings. Students from all over the Northwest met to share ideas so they could improve their student government. Under the leadership of President Steve Roman, the 1964-1965 student body officers of Astoria High School, have been active and have made this school year a success¬ ful one. The officers have learned how to run a student government more efficiently by attending the Region III meetings and the summer workshop.

ACADEMICS Someone once wrote, “Efficiency . . . may be reached naturally in the struggle for bread. But there is something beyond, a higher point, a subtle and unmistakable touch of love and pride beyond mere skill . . . an inspiration which gives to all work that finish which is almost art . . The purpose of the school program at Astoria High is not just teaching youths the knowledge gained from books, nor is it designed to make them merely useful citizens. Its goal is to encourage each to strive beyond his normal skills, and to make him aware of his “place in the sun.’ Classes, counseling sessions, and extra-curricular activities are all programmed to achieve this. Together, the faculty and administration at Astoria High School help students realize the “touch of gold” education adds to their lives. 13
