ACTIVITIES Golden moments! The excitement of the last seconds as the team scores to break the tie and win the game! Casting for the all¬ school play! Attending the big dance with just the right person! These are activities that draw individuals together at Astoria High. Through common interests and like goals, amid the whirl of social activities, and the tension and excitement of games, students acquire a feeling of belonging, a feeling that “This is our school. ' They develop a pride for their school, a sense of loyalty that makes it special and different from any other, and memories that are revived with every reading and re-reading of their ZEPHYRUS. Long after they have acquired their “place in the sun, ’ alumni recall the activities and the friendships made during their four years at AHS. 23

Rainy Daze” Lucky Theme Possibly Rainy Daze,’ this year’s Homecoming theme, was the good luck charm that brought the fairest weather Astoria has experienced during many a Home¬ coming week. The princesses were cleverly presented on Monday as each class struggled to take the lead in the Homecoming competition. Friday night provided unlooked-for excitement when Astoria downed the Centennial Eagles with a score of 14 to 12. Before the kick-off. a lavish Queen’s Float led a successful noise parade through town advertising the game. During half-time, after Queen Shelby McCoy wel¬ comed everyone, it was announced that the Class of ’67 had won the Homecoming competition. Although loyal senior boys guarded the bonfire all night against potential arsonists, it was prematurely lighted ten minutes after nine on Thursday morning. But after school, through much frantic effort, an even better stack was built for the evening rally. Amid gaily decorated umbrellas and festive flower arrangements, couples danced to the music of the Ar- tesians at the Homecoming dance, the final festivity of an eventful week.
