One of the oldest high schools in the state, Astoria High has a rich heritage. Since the first graduation in 1893, each succeeding class has inherited the legacy of education, not juSt in classrooms, but in outside activities as well. In 1896 the first Zephyrus was published to re¬ cord the activities of each year. Student Coun¬ cil, the official governing body of AHS, also came into existence in 1896, but the Associated Student Body of Astoria High School wasn’t organized until 1905. In 1911 classes were moved from the crowded McClure Building to an imposing structure “far above Columbia’s waters.” Eventually, when the buildings became inadequate, plans were begun for a new school, which was com¬ pleted in 1957. Astoria High’s newspaper was first named the Astor Post in 1927. In 1930 the Fishermen won their first state basketball championship, setting a precedent for future Astoria teams. Many years classes graduated both in Janu¬ ary and May. In 1951 freshmen were included in the high school. Homecoming was introduced to AHS in 1953 and since has become one of the most important activities of the school year. Throughout the years, Astoria High School students have given their lives to preserve their heritage of freedom. This year Alan Barnett became the first from Astoria High School to die in the war in Vietnam. We hope he will be the last. . . . a heritage of freedom, the courage of youthful idealism in the face of reality . . . Introduction 5 r .r ,� .

Things That Last ” THE SCHOOL DA Y, with the stress on the importance of education, not only for the knowledge it brings, but because it helps to provide a purpose in life, is becoming increasingly challenging to students. Ninety per cent of a student’s time is spent in the classroom. This important, serious, and sometimes wearing aspect of school life has, too, its light-hearted moments. All these are reflected in the last anxious moments spent studying for a test — and the relief of learning it’s been postponed ... a teacher’s exasperaton over those same two boys whisper¬ ing the hack row . . . the last startling SLAM of lockers as students hurry to class after the bell has rung . . . the teachers ' coffee klatch in the library office during the break . . . stay¬ ing after the assembly to question a guest speaker . . . “discussions ’ of current events in social science classes . . . band members spending the day practicing with a guest con¬ ductor . . . and those important aptitude tests and college visitations for college-bound seniors. dsb School Day 1 1 Administrators Direct School Personal Satisfaction Gained Prom Helping Students Mr. Bob Parnell, who has been principal of Astoria High School for five years, says that he chose education for a career because he gains personal satisfaction from helping students develop, and enjoys working with both students and teachers. Mr. Parnell received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in the field of education from Central Washington State. During the holidays and after school is out, Mr. Parnell, his wife Ruth, and two children, Brian and Paula, go to their summer home near Arch Cape for relaxation. Mr. Parnell also enjoys golfing, fishing, and hunting in his spare time. Dean of Boys Advocates Three-Year High School As usual Mr. Douglas Clark, vice¬ principal, is well occupied with his many responsibilities. He is both Dean of Boys and Athletic Director. Mr. Clark also handles attendance, disci¬ pline and the ordering and distribution of textbooks. Mr. Clark is well qualified for his numerous duties with Bachelor of Science and Master of Education de¬ grees from Oregon State University, and from his eleven years of experi¬ ence at Astoria High. He is an avid golfer when he finds the time and also enjoys hunting. Mr. Clark states that it seems differ¬ ent this year without the freshmen, and he believes that this is a beneficial change in the high school. 12 School Day Policies Relaxing a moment at a monthly board meeting are Arthur Stangland, Max Bighy, Superin¬ tendent Roy Seeborg, Arvid Wuonola, Clerk Ronald Trenhold, and 0. W. Dimick. School board chairman, Jack Daly, is shown left. The District 1C school board, made up of business¬ men from the area, tries to give Astoria the best possible school system. The board members serve a five-year term during which each gives much time and hard work. Serving as a link between the board and the admin¬ istration, Mr. Roy Seeborg, superintendent of schools, is responsible for school affairs. These include budget construction, hiring personnel, school policies, and building projects, for which he is accountable to the school board. He is helped by Administrative Assistant, Ronald Trenholm, who holds this newly created position for the first time. Mr. Roy Seeborg, who has been Astoria school supervisor for four years, often takes time off from his business duties to attend sports events at his Alma Mater. Astoria High. School Day 1 3 T ' O ' M Guide Students To “Counselors gain as much from the interpersonal relations as the student does,” says Anna Marie Friedrich, the guidance counselor at A.H.S. Besides giving several aptitude tests, she also keeps the students’ records up to date, does educa¬ tional and vocational guidance, and personal coun¬ seling. The seniors often come to her for information on colleges, job opportunities, and the armed forces. “Yes,” says Miss Marjorie Halder- man, head librarian, library methods instructor, and Library Club adviser, “I feel that the importance of school libraries is being recognized more each year.” Miss Halderman, pictured here at the check-out desk, has a busy sched¬ ule supervising library assistants, keep¬ ing order in the library, coming to the aid of students needing report material and co-operating with teachers when ordering hooks. Faculty Members 14 School Day Wise Choices Mrs. Louann Schafer says that even though her main interest is in counsel- ing all girls of A.H.S., she enjoys teach¬ ing Competitive Speech and Commun¬ ication Skills. Although the job of Dean of Girls is time-consuming with its numerous duties, Mrs. Schafer finds time to ad¬ vise the Forensic Club and the Girls’ League, and as a member of the Assem¬ bly Committee, has an active part in planning assemblies for the school year. In her leisure time she enjoys skiing and tennis. Art and music interest her, too. “I really like it here,” says Mr. Marshall, counselor and hand director, as he is interviewed in his office. He goes on to explain that in counseling he talks with students about personal problems, and voca¬ tional or college preparation. He also does all the individual testing and helps Miss Friedrich with group testing. Mr. Marshall came to A.H.S. in 1956 as band director and has, at different times, been director of the chorus and taught typing and senior math. Besides teaching the band and counseling, he advises the rally, the pep band, and the Boys’ Federa¬ tion. His after-school time is taken up with reading and listening to music. School Day 1 5 Helping students to better develop their powers of communication and to fully appreci¬ ate good literature are the goals of the language arts teachers. Through both oral and written rhetoric, students learn to think logically and express themselves effectively. A new addition to the high school curriculum this year, is the remedial reading program which has been financed from federal funds granted through Title 1, National Defense Act. Drama, a course given this year as an elec¬ tive, has proven popular with the students. They have gained experience in acting and studied many plays. In journalism, an elective of the language arts department, the school publications are produced. Mrs. Nedra Christensen explains the impor¬ tance of balance to Susan Conboy in the journalism class that produces the Zephyrus. Penny Price, who has finished her assignments in advanced English, enjoys reading an issue of Cavelcade. Mr. Russell Atnorn, who keeps busy at home by fishing and reading, teaches senior English and journalism and ad¬ vises the Astor Post. Mrs. Nedra Christen¬ sen, who teaches sopho¬ more English, also ad¬ vises the Zephyrus. Her hobbies include reading, painting, and gardening. Drama and junior English teacher, Mrs. Betty Ann Drew finds time to enjoy her hus¬ band and family, the Chinook Charter Service and to advise the Thes¬ pians. Mr. John Price is kept busy with his one class of junior English and four classes of senior English. He also advises IRL. Language Arts Speech and English ttaeher, Mr. Cecil Smith, who taught last year in Madras Oregon, sa s that fishing in lakes and streams occupies most of his spare time Broadens Scope Thru Literature Mrs. Josephine Swan son, junior English teacher, advises F.T.A. and the National Honor ■Society. In her leisure time, she enjoys reading. A lighthearted mural, symbolic of characters and episodes in Huckle¬ berry Finn, belies the serious discussion of themes by a panel from Eng¬ lish III. Adding the final touches student, Peter I lobbing, who to display member window, is foreign exchange of the library methods class. School Day 17 A newcomer to AHS this year, Mr. Gary Weinstein, teaches soph¬ omore English and world history. He also advises the sophomore class. Learning by doing. Rod Severson delivers an oratory in first-year speech class. Mrs. Pat Coffeen, who lived previously in I akc Oswego, is the new re¬ medial reading teacher. Out of school, she spends time with her two children. Energetic Mr. Tony C u t s f o r t h, h e n not teaching biology or ge¬ ometry ' , coaches both football and wrestling. Scientific Era Brings Modem An avid golfer and fisherman in his spare time. Mr. Dale Evans teaches chemistry, coaches golf and J.V. football, and advises Mu Alpha Theta. Methods to AHS The science department has progressed with the “scien¬ tific era” with its modern teaching methods and facilities. Each science teacher has kept up with the “era” through recent summer sessions and experimental courses. The chem¬ istry and biology departments have obtained additional equip¬ ment essential for more student experimentation to find the answers. The physics department has both a combined course of trigonometry and physics and a separate physics class. Investigating the reactioning volumes of two solutions of known concentrations, are Gary Ramsey and Gary Olsen, chem¬ istry students. Grinning banefully at Jenny Johnson and Jick Pilgreen, is the biology department ' s skeleton, Bonella. 1 8 School Day AHS Adds Calculus To Curriculum Although there are many varied opinions on teaching the new mathematics at the junior high level, the con¬ sensus of opinion at Astoria High is that, this innovation better prepares the high school students for the more advanced mathematics which is being demanded in this scientific age. The only objection to the program is the problem of an ever-changing nomenclature. Because of this current emphasis on mathematical training, AHS of fers algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus, the latter being added to the curriculum for the first time this year. Mr. illiam Reuter teaches advanced alge¬ bra. geometry, and sen¬ ior review. He is ad iser ol Mu Alpha Theta and the National Honor So¬ ciety. Mr. Robert Scott, who (according to the grape vine) wears a suit only on payday, teaches ad¬ vanced algebra, trigo¬ nometry. and physics. He i- senior class ad¬ viser. Mr. Reuter explains a problem in advanced algebra to Brian Olsvik. Steve Palmrose, and Jim Mullins. School Day 19 Languages Key to Culture “Languages,” commented Mrs. Gross, “are the key to other cultures, i.e. to the hearts of other peoples.” In the foreign language classes, students learn more than just the attitude, the back¬ ground. and the culture of the people who live there. As the world becomes smaller through more advanced methods of transportation and com¬ munication, understanding between peoples is increasingly important. To enable the language student to go into more advanced study two new classes, German III and French IV, were organized this year. These emphasize the study of these countries ' literature. Listening to Spanish records in the language lab has proven beneficial to language students. Joy Moskovita takes advantage of the new device in Spanish II. Members of the German II class enjoy watching a film on Germany. An AHS graduaate, M iss Linda Fowler, is interested in spcrts and folk dancing. She teaches Spanish at both the high and junior high schools and advises the Spanish Club. As pastor of the Episcopal Church, Dr. Carl Gross has but half the day to devote to teaching German, his native tongue, and to co-advising the Europe Club. Teaching French and Ger¬ man and co-advising the Europe Club takes up the major part of Mrs. Magdaline Gross time. Reading is her hobby at home. 20 School Day Mr. Bill Gunderson, when not teaching world history and art, likes reading, refin¬ ishing furniture, and collect- ting things.” Photography teacher and publication photographer, Mr Reuben Jenson, says photog¬ raphy is also his hobby. He first came to AHS in 1930. Mrs. Weiss , the special achievement teacher, came to AHS from Gearhart. She says her favorite hobby is painting, but she likea. collecting reci¬ pes. and taking pictures. Teachers Emphasize Creativity During art class, members of Mrs. Weiss ' special education class work on Christmas decorations. Learning the technical skills of portraiture from Mr. Jensen, photography students use Albert Stockton as a model. “Art is neither a form of play, a hobby, nor a subordinate subject, but a way to knowledge so vital and needed that we dare not neglect it.” said Mrs. Weiss, special achievement teacher who strongly empha¬ sizes art in her curriculum of varied sub¬ jects. Each student in regular creative art courses, under the direction of Mr. Gunder¬ son, has a quota of one painting per week. Mr. Gunderson feels that a choice of pro¬ jects gives the individual a feeling of self- expression. Still another creative art is photography, a program taught hy Mr. Jensen that em¬ phasizes learning to develop pictures, oper¬ ate cameras and roll one’s own film. Art student Rick Thies practices lettering during the seventh period art class. Choral Students Take Special Honors Students enrolled in General Choir this year are (1st row, 1. to r.) C. Olvey, M.

Mrs. Nopson is shown h ere pinning an honorary pin on Roberta. “There is delight in singing, tho’ none hear beside the singer,” Walter Lander once wrote to Robert Browning. Although most students choose chorus as an elective because they enjoy singing, many people have the pleasure of hearing their fine choral music in programs and concerts. Under the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth Nop¬ son, the highly rated choral department took part in many activities during the year. Also, three students had the honor of singing in the “All State Choir.” They were Roberta Gibson, Peter Hold ling, and Bob Biddle. The newly organized Choralettes, composed of girls who take a special interest in vocal music, earned a one rating in district competi¬ tion in Seaside; and sang for various local pro¬ grams.

School Day Guest conductor, Boris Sirpo, talks informally with student director, Doug Nopson, and band director, Mr. Marshall, at a reception following the winter band concert. Guests Highlight AHS Band Concerts The Astoria High School Band, long noted for its superior performances, gave three concerts for the 1965-66 school season. At the Sibelius Centennial Concert, honoring Jean Sibelius, famed Finnish composer, the guest conductor was Boris Sirpo of the Portland Symphony. This was one of many concerts which commemorated the birth of Sibelius throughout the world. During the winter concert, guest trombonist, George Roberts, played several numbers with the dance hand. The spring concert featuring the band mem¬ bers themselves, brought another season of fine music to a close. Mr. Marshall directs the Symphonic Band in the Winter Concert.

Sewing and knitting are her hob¬ bies, and she is the ad¬ viser of FHA. A new teacher to As¬ toria this year. Miss Hamilton teaches short¬ hand, office practice and typing. She is also a swimming and skiing en¬ thusiast. Mr. Marvin Hautala ' s teaching duties include metal shop, mechanical drawing, and architec¬ tural drawing. When asked what his hobbies were, he replied, Every¬ thing is my hobby, if it isn ' t, it soon will Ire. Practical Arts Practical art classes give students the chance to develop their abilities by actually “learning by doing.” In mechanical drawing and shop classes, the class learns about the products they work with and the skillful use of tools. - Vocational training is the primary goal of students taking shorthand, book¬ keeping and office practice; whereas, typing is a subject usually taken for personal benefit. Through home economics girls get a practical knowledge of cooking and Electric typewriters prove to lie challenging for Typing students. In third year home economics, Betsy Ross prepares a portion of a full course dinner. 26 School Day Students Learn by Doing Mr. Hiestand teaches classroom driving educu. tion at the junior higli school. His duties at the high school are to give the students t hat have their permit or license, a six-hour. In hind-the- wheel driving course.

In woodshop, David Sjoli diligently carves de¬ tail work on a bow which he plans to use upon completion. living practical las. minute instructions to “behind the wheel” students, is Mr. Hiestand, driving instructor. School Day 2 History Awakens Students At school, Mr. Mich¬ ael Foster teaches world history and advises stu¬ dent and executive coun¬ cils. Hobbies he enjoys include painting, golfing, and skiing. Mr. Carl Carlson, teacher of Modern Prob¬ lems and Latin, works in his vegetable garden and also reads mysteries, his. tories, and biographies. He advises the senior class. Delivering an informative speech on the structure of the Oregon legislature to the U.S. Government class is State Senator Dan Thiel. Besides teaching Mod¬ ern Problems, Mr. Dar¬ rell Hawes takes an ac¬ tive interest in reading, “arguing,” and watching athletic contests. He also advises the IRL. Another first at Astoria High is the “high-school bowl” which was originated by Mr. Sarin and carried out by his classes. (Pictured left). The prime objective of the social studies program is to awaken the student to his environ¬ ment and his responsibility in society. To make history more vivid to the students, Astoria social studies teachers vary their routine by using panel discussions, debates, skits, and plays. AHS now offers government and economics besides the required courses of world and U.S. history and modern problems. One of Mr. Gunderson’s favorite quotations— “He who does not know the past is doomed to repeat it”—is certainly a good reason for all to study history. 28 School Day A valued addition to the high school library is the new microfilm reader, which is shown being used by two library method students under the supervision of Miss Halderman. The new machine has microfilm for thirty-five different magazines beginning with the 1964 editions. Mr. Charles Sarin, teacher of U.S. history and economics, is inter¬ ested in his ‘ ' continuous education.’’ He is a jun¬ ior adviser and coaches J.Y. baseball. A U.S. stamp collector and a gardener in her spare time. Miss Rose Tolonen also enjoys ad¬ vising American history and govern ment. AHS Raises Physical Requirements Mr. Pete Bryant, var¬ sity basketball coach, teaches boys ' P.E. and business math. His hob¬ bies are collecting old 78 records and hunting ducks. I don’t have any real hobbies, but I like to ski (?) and dance,” says Miss Pat Eddy, P. E. teacher. She advises both G.A.A. and Spirit and Morale. Head football coach. Mr. Vince Dulcich, teaches boys’ P.E. and helps advise the A” Club. He says that he enjoys “all sports and fishing. Judy Lake succeeds in balancing herself in the -sit during P.E. class. Linda Fornas. Miss Eddy and Elaine Robertson appreciate her skill. Successfully spiking the ball over the net in a boys’ P.E. volleyball game, is Rolf Hansen. In keeping with the stress on physi¬ cal fitness, AHS has raised its standards on physical requirements. Juniors as well as sophomores are now required to take physical education, and seniors may. Following a program of vigorous physical activity, P.E. students learn teamwork, sportsmanship, and soon master many new skills. School Day 29 STUDENT LIFE at Astoria High does not end in the classroom. There are last minute hopeful preparations for Homecoming competition . . . responsibility of leadership . . . participating in club meetings . . . decorating for class dances . . . the tenseness before the final round in speech competition . . . bus trips for out of town games . . . that awful dress rehearsal before opening night . . . the mad rush to meet deadlines . . . staging a style show . . . those last few, breathless moments of the game before the final winning points are scored . . . creating catchy slogans for posters . . . awaiting the announcement of the name of the queen . . . that frantic rush for the counter at half-times . . . the thrill of that first formal dance . . . and the fun and excitement of election week. Since 1953 Homecoming has been the outstanding event, in which everyone gets into the act. New this year, the Winter Festival has provided a mid-year “spirit pick-up” for the whole student body with the powder puff basketball, the “Olympic” games, and an under¬ class queen. Queen Linda I Reigns Queen Linda Miller Joining in the Serpentine, exhausted students wind their way to Gvro Field grandstands to hear the result of class competition. Sophomore Princess Junior Princess Senior Princess Senior Princess Teri Ostrom Maria Rautio Jackie Singleton Susanne Raasina 32 Student Life At Homecoming For the thirteenth year, AHS celebrated Homecoming. During a week of whirlwind activities tailored to the theme, Holiday International, classes entered into the spirit of com¬ petition with enthusiasm. At the presentation of “royalty” the senior class won when they introduced their three princesses in a scene of Oriental splendor. Queen Linda I was crowned in a colorful setting of pastel flowers. After winning leading points at both the bonfire rally and the noise parade, the sophomores earned the Homecom¬ ing trophy. The only disappointment of the week was the Fishermen’s defeat by the Central Catholic Rams. On Saturday, students and alums danced to live music and Queen Linda and her court made their final appearance. During the winning presentation of princesses, Ed Classen and Doug Nopson take the student body back to the enchanting land of ancient China. Supervising activities are (seated) J.

Officers’ Goal — Student Participation According to Greg Wood, student body presi¬ dent, the students have cooperated well with the officers to maintain an effective government for Astoria High this year. Striving to solve student difficulties, the student body officers established a president’s advisory council. Working to improve communications between the students and their government, the officers rejuvenated the suggestion box and emphasized the publicity of student body affairs. Keeping the students informed about club activities was the news bulletin board in the cafeteria. Reactivated standing committees also added to the effectiveness of this years’ student govern¬ ment. As part of his duties, Student Body President Greg Wood accepts an American flag, that has flown over the White House in Washington, D.C.. from U.S. Representative Wendell Wyatt, a guest speaker at a special Student Body Assembly. Mr. Foster, student council adviser, Cathy Cronen, secretary, and Doug Lay, vice-president, discuss a recent student council meeting. Heading Astoria High’s 1965-66 student body are Greg Wood, president: Doug Lay, vice-president, Laurie Seeborg. chaplain: Cathy Cronen, secretary: Jane Bigby, treasurer: and Ken Orwick, parliamentarian. 34 Student Life Club Backs Programs, Tournaments Since the goal of the Forensic Club is to have AHS repre¬ sented at more speech tournaments, the group has held a bottle drive, sponsored a dance, and promoted a band con¬ cert in order to raise the money needed to attend the meets. They represented the school at the Fall and Spring Metro, Portland State, Portland University, Linfield, District, and State Tournaments. The Forensic Club also participated in school programs and individuals appeared on several programs for local organizations. In the Thanksgiving assembly skit.

League Meeting The Girls ' League, an association to which all AHS girls belong, has carried out several suc¬ cessful activities this year. Among these have been the fall fashion show, an auction, the annual mother-daughter ban¬ quet and style show. A special treat was having Susan Pack, Miss Oregon of 1965, speak of her experiences in representing her state in the M iss America Pageant and sing several numbers that she had sung in the state and national pageants. Although top recognition goes to the senior girl who wins the Girls’ League scholarship, each month one girl is honored as being out¬ standing for one particular character trait.

The girls have been kept busy practicing almost every week. They have competed in basketball, volleyball, and track with several different schools in Clat¬ sop County. They attended a basketball tourna¬ ment in Seaside, a volleybal l tournament in Warrenton, and several track meets. With the ball on her fingertips and her eye on the basket, Diana Smith stands poised for a shot. Guarding her is Bonnie Forseth. Although apparently having trouble here returning the volleyball, the teachers beat their hosts in the annual Faculty-G.A.A. game. Guiding the 1965-66 G.A.A., are officers Bonnie Hen- ningsen, president: Sue King, vice-president: Bonnie Forseth. secretary, and Connie Pernu, treasurer.

For the third consecutive year, the Astoria Pepsters have the unusual distinction of being awarded first in the pom pon division of the National Rally Clinic held at Lewis and Clark College. The recognition that these girls earn only comes after long hours of practice. The Pepsters are an integral part of almost any sports event. With their snappy dance routines they help to gener¬ ate the pep and enthusiasm of the student body that spurs the hoys to victory on the field or the court. Janice Tubbs Penny Norgaard Karen Powell Debbie Morrell Alternate Student Life 41 Peppy J. V. Rally Builds Team Spirit Energetic J.V. Rally members Diana Smith, Christine Gerritz, Marlys Lovvold, Teri Astrom and Linda Hall support their team with spirited yells. Practicing three hours a week and attending Spirit and Morale meetings keep the Junior Varsity Rally jumping. The support of this bouncy quintet is important to the morale of the Junior Varsity team. The J.V. Rally watches intently as their team battles with the opponent. Spirit And Morale Prepare Game Posters Through her humorous poster, rally member, Jackie Single- ton, urges students to attend the game. Down on her knees for AHS is Jan Lovvold, spirit and Morale chairman, applying the first stroke to a poster. Many eye-catching posters urging students to, “Come to the game!”, or “Fire up Fishermen!”, may be seen on walls of the halls and breezeways during the last part of the week before a game. These are prepared by the Spirit and Morale Committee, which is headed by Jan Lovvold, Rally Queen, and is made up of rally squads and other interested students. The adviser is Miss Eddy. 42 Student Life Pep Band Sparks Fisherman Spirit Playing at all the home basketball games and pep assemblies, the Astoria Pep Band, directed by Doug Nopson, keeps alive the Astoria Fight¬ ing Spirit. Also, the intricate routines of the Pepsters depend on the precision timing of the band. “Java,” “B-flat,” and “In the Mood,” are only a few of the pieces played by them. One of the traditions they follow is playing the national anthem at the beginning and the Alma Mater at the end of each home game. The Pep Band, taken during one of their many early morning practices in the music room includes (Front row 1. to r.) I. Moberg, S. Waldrop, J. Waisanen, G. Wood. M. Mohler, J. Johnson, P.

Every other Friday afternoon, during seventh period, eager students anticipate the arrival of the latest edition of Astoria High’s newspaper, the Astor Post. The staff takes pride in providing adequate, complete, and up-to-date information on school activities. The newspaper, established in 1924, was originally called Astoria Hi-Lite. The name was open to criticsm, thou gh. and in 1927 the AHS student body voted to change it to the Astor Post. Last fall, editors of both the Astor Post and the Zepliyrus. with their advisers, attended the journalism press conference on the University of Oregon campus. Staff Rushes To Meet Deadlines Duri ng seventh period, the Zephyrus office (213) is the center of activity for the lively staff members who compile the school’s only perma¬ nent record of the year’s activities. Since 1905, when the staff first named the yearbook the Zephyrus, each succeeding staff has tried to produce a more interesting edition. This year it has emphasized history and tradi¬ tion. Pictures must be planned, supervised, and taken; art work must be originally designed; pages must be laid out and copy written; and subscriptions must be recorded and sponsors contacted. Since the new staff members (three-fourths of the staff) have had no previous training, they must learn the many details of publication while meeting deadlines. Next year’s staff is already planning for an¬ other Zephyrus. Not all problems of publication are as humorous as the one the executive heads of the Zephyrus seem to be discussing. Pictured are Mrs. Christensen, editorial adviser: Cathy Gillette, editor-in-chief: Shelby Day. business manager: and Mr. Ricketts, business adviser. Staff members hurriedly work to meet their first of four deadlines, when the) must send forty pages to the publisher. Pooling their vari¬ ous talents to put out the Zephyrus are (seated, 1. to r.) Judy Series, Linda Green, Susan Conboy, Liisa Rautio, Russ Hickman, Bessie Kol- jonen, Linda Trent, Spiros Papadimos, Andy Thorsness, Martha Rasmussen and Jan Benson. Standing are Russell Cunningham, Terr)’ Duoos and Ernest Moore. Student Life 45 Courtroom Drama Staged For All-School Production The Night of January 16th, a comedy courtroom drama in three acts by Ayn Rand, which was presented here in December, drew the audience into the play’s action by hav¬ ing the jury selected from the auditorium. Locally, the jury gave a different verdict each night. Adding another realistic touch, even the witnesses (part of the play cast) came from the audience to testify. Even though a large cast was involved, Mrs. Drew, director and adviser, chose to double-cast the already large play. An after-play cast party Friday night helped to relieve the tension brought on by weeks of work and the night of the final performance. One of the unique features of this year’s f all Production was the double casting. First night leads were Shirley Mattila, Kathy Wheeler (first row), Phil Abbey, and Bill Velzy (second row). The second night’s cast was head¬ ed by Allison Cellars, Sue Pattee, Dan Armstrong, and Doug Nopson. Relaxing during a break in rehearsal, the first night cast are (1. to r.) S. Raasina, S. Mattila, S. Forrester, S. Mathre, P. Abbey, J. Anderson, student director: S. Waldrop, K. Wheeler, and M. Haines. “How could he think of sui¬ cide!” sobs Nancy Falkner (Allison Cellars) in answer to district Attorney Flint’s (Dan Armstrong) question. Presiding Judge Heath is played by Ed Classen. 46 Student Life Drama Class Goes Melodramatic Cast members seem relaxed after the strain ol opening night. They are (front row) K. Brown, D.

For this year’s spring production an old- fashioned melodrama, Dirty Work at the Cross¬ roads or Tempted, Tried, and True, complete with Sweet Nell and a treacherous villain was chosen by Mrs. Drew, the drama instructor. The play was double cast from members of the two drama classes, and nearly every student was involved in some way. Once tht audience got used to the type of humor used, they enjoyed the “corny ’ melo¬ drama. Adding to the entertainment were the Oleo acts, which were presented betw een curtains. “Munro (Phil Abbey), if you love me, you ' ll lake your sister from my presence,” pleads I.eonie (Sandie Campbell) when her mother is revealed as a dipsomaniac.

The highlight of this year’s activities for IRL was their annual Conference at the University of Oregon. During the proceedings, the topic of discussion was the political and economic aspects of Africa. Experts on Africian affairs were present at the conference to share their first-hand information with Oregon students. The members of IRL have been guided through this year’s activities by Julie Anderson, president; Harold Symmonds, vice-president; Carol Peterson, secretary-treasurer; and Mary Clare Hankel, historian and Mr. Price, adviser. Preparatory to attending the state I.R.L. conference, delegates study the map of Africa and review our country ' s foreign policy there. Delegates are Greg Wood, Mary-Clare Hankel, Julie Anderson, Linda Trent and Petei Hobbing. 48 Student Lite Future Teachers Group Interested in Careers in Field of Education Under the guidance of Miss Tolonen and Mrs. Swanson, Future Teachers of America has actively continued to work towards its goal of creating an interest in a career in education again this year. Highlighting the club’s activities was a visi¬ tation day when members toured city and con¬ solidated schools to observe and discuss teach¬ ing methods. A state convention in McMinnville and a re¬ gional convention in Vernonia provided inter¬ esting experiences for club members. To raise funds for these conventions, FTA sponsored an atfer-game dance, The Youth Conference on Education held one week in the summer at various colleges of education was enjoyed by two members who received scholarships for that purpose. A special joint project with the Library Club was reading to youngsters at the YMCA on Saturdays. Winding up a busy and informative year, members held a howling party followed by a dinner.

Along with their annual girl- ask-boy dance, the Library Club also sponsors annually a Halloween Coffee and Christmas Tea for the faculty. Library Methods students assist the librarians by arrang¬ ing magazine and book shelves each week, preparing bulletin boards, and waiting on students at the charging desk. They do assignments designed to give them a working knowledge of library organization and use.

Flames dancing along the walls and hanging stalagtites added a realistic touch to the Senior class por¬ trayal of Dante’s imagined Inferno. “The Rogues” added to the uniqueness of the occa¬ sion by providing live music. Shirley Mattila took the spotlight when she was crowned Queen by Senior class president, Ed Classen. Princesses Jan Lovvold, Janet Dietrichs, Jackie Singleton, and Liisa Rautio completed this year’s court. Contributing to the evening’s entertainment were the Devil’s Advocates, a senior instru¬ mental group. A humorous interpretation by a group of teachers and piano selections by Mrs. Betty Phillips were also presented. Part of the Queen ' s entertainment included a rendition of Edgar Allen Poe ' s The Raven. Mr. Alborn narrates as Mr. Foster impersonates the raven. Not shown are Miss Friedrichs playing Lenore and Miss Halderman who pro¬ vides the sound effects. It is the Queen’s Dance for Queen Shirley Mattila and her escort, Larry Martin.

Highlighting the evening’s festivities, was the crowning of King Tim Collins and Queen Judy Paulsen. Entertainment for the royal couple was provided by the Bill Sutton Trio. Penny Norgaard and Rrian Olsvik are the last royal couple to be presented at the Junior Prom. The other members of the court are Janis Chadsey, Pete Niemi, Judy Paulsen. Tim Collins, Maria Rautio, Chuck Olson. Peggy Nizich, and Rob Greenberg. Student Life Soph Hop Opens Spring Social Season Judy Lake trades prizes for chips won in Reno-type games played at the Soph Hop. Capturing the atmosphere of a Reno night¬ club, the sophomores presented the first infor¬ mal dance of the spring season. Among the un¬ usual decorations were large playing cards, a huge pair of dice, and an elaborate bar where soft drinks and cookies were served. Tape re¬ corded records provided music for the dancers. Students dance to records in a casino-like atmosphere at Roust About Reno. Gathered around a game table at the Soph Hop are boys interested in the unusual activities.

These helpful girls apply for the priv¬ ilege of serving their school in a position that calls for a lot of work but allows little recognition. It isn’t all work for the club, though. They hold an annual Christmas party and a picnic for themselves and pre¬ sent the traditional Sadie Hawkins’ Dance each year. The Sassafras Ball this year was a big success with replicas of Daisy Mae, LiP Abner, and the Kigniies surveying the fun. Leading the Service Club in their activities this year were Liisa Rautio, historian; Linda Miller, treasurer: Carolyn Irby, president: Kathy Bailey, vice-president: and Peggy Knutsen, secretary. Cathy Cronen is about to crown the charming ( ? ) and stylish I?) monarchs of the Sassafras Ball, Rosemary Thomas and Nancy Reed. Winter Festival Marks New Astoria Tradition A touch of royalty was added to Astoria High School’s first Winter Festival with the crowning of Emperor Garry Hovde and Empress Jane Copstead during Saturday night’s half-time activities. Two princes and princesses, chosen from each of the three classes, completed the court. An after-game dance held in the cafeteria, which was decked with red and white streamers, brought the festivities to a close. Students especially enjoyed dancing to the live music of the Learies. The court, introduced for the second time, took the limelight during the Emperor’s Ball. Diana Smith and Jim Sellars place an orange between their foreheads as they prepare to race in one of the many hilarious contests at the Olympics. Empress Jane Copstead and Emperor Garry Hovde, shown here being crowned by Greg Wood, are the first royal couple to reign over the Winter Festival. An added attraction to the dance is the lively music of Pat Hope, A1 Nelson, and Dan Armstrong of the Learies. The after-game dance tops off the fun and excitement of a week of Winter Festival activities. Election Considered Serious Business Election posters on the Auditorium wall provide fascinating reading for students between classes. To hold an office in the student body at Astoria High is serious business, especially for those who try for the honor. After names are placed on the ballot through either nomination or petition, candidates prepare posters, hand¬ outs, and speeches. The Voters’ Pamphlet, after being discontinued for six years, was this year again produced by the Astor Post staff and contained pictures of the candidates and their platforms. Speeches were scheduled for Tuesday, Wesnesday, and Thursday. On Friday, with posters down and speeches com¬ pleted, the fate of the candidates was placed in the hands of the voters. Even small reminders count toward getting one s candidate elected. Here Penny Price, Linda Wahlstrom. and Tom Moberg prepare to flood the school with little signs for their candidate. “Yea 1 ” shouts Linda Hue as she tosses confetti in the air whm describing her reaction to her nomination as treasurer during her campaign speech. Trying to appear poised, candidates and their introductory speakers ' ' listen intently (if not enviously) as their opponents give their campaign speeches.

Guest speakers were Judge Harold Johnson, Captain Cunningham, and Indianapolis race driver Art Malone. ’ “Boys’ Federation is the only organization to which all boys at AHS belong,” commented Mr. Ted Marshall, adviser. Highlighting the boys’ fed. program were a speech by Judge H. T. Johnson on the consequences of committing a felony, National Football League movies, and a law enforcement assembly presented by Clat¬ sop College. Photographer catches Mr. Marshall, Boys’ Federa¬ tion adviser, in a thoughtful mood. 58 Student Life Girls’ and Boys’ Staters for 1965, who all year have been reporting to local groups on their summer experiences are, first row: K.

Camera Club Covers Activities Besides having the hohby of taking pictures for themselves, the Camera Club members per¬ form a real service for the school by taking pictures at dances and covering school activities for the student publications. Under Mr. Jensen’s expert supervision, they experiment with different types of lighting for various kinds of pictures and. of course, gain skill in developing techniques. Pictured at the left are the members of the basket¬ ball team standing at attention during the playing of the National Anthem. This picture, taken by Rus¬ sell Cunningham, was a second place winner in the Linfield Interscholastic Photography Contest. This is only one of the many honors that the members of the Camera dub have won during the past years. Student Life 59 Spanish and Latin Ceremonies Unique Spanish Club With their new adviser, Miss Fowler, the Spanish Club planned this year’s agenda around two major events. To introduce first- year students to a few Spanish customs, second- year members staged a party which featured games, a pinata and a skit, “El Hero” written by Helene Adamchak. For decorations, posters (drawn by Susanne Raasina) depicted Spanish characters. May 24th a comedy film, “The Three Part¬ ners”, (with English subtitles) was shown to the public. Latin Club “Ah! Que male!” says Rosa (Doug Lay) while papa (David Hearn) prepares his lines and the villain (Helene Adamchak) smiles evilly. (This skit was part of the entertainment at a party staged for first year members. I Looking over possible plans for a Latin Club picnic are second-year officers, Molly Burget and Teri Ostrom: first-year officers, Albin Leong and Alan Peterson: and the adviser, Mr. Carlson. Even though the Latin Club is small and not too active, they held their annual initiation and banquet in the Fall, which proved to he quite interesting. One of the things each initiate had to do was make a dress out of newspapers, which according to Mr. Carlson, the Latin Club adviser, was “very funny.” lop executives of the three periods of Spanish students are ferry Isaacson, Susanne Raasina and Robert Greenberg. 60 Student Life Language Students Unite To Form Club The newly-organized Europe Club has brought both the French and German students together this year. Having decided to make this change since these countries are in the European Common Market, this organization acquaints the students not only with the culture of each individual country, but with that of Europe as a whole, and with the new philosophy of a united Europe. One of its most important functions has been to sponsor a number of foreign language films for classroom viewing. Officers, present at the dinner, are Julie Anderson, Mary Clare Hankel and Peter Hobbing. The advisers, not pictured, are Dr. and Mrs. Gross. Europe Club members watch Franz Lilz and listen to its French script. Foreign movies were one of the club’s projects. At the potluck held in May at the Grace Episcopal Church, members chat with each other while they wait for dinner. Student Life Council Undertakes New Ideas Executive Council members include, seated: Greg Wood, student body president; Laurie Seeborg, chaplain: Jane Bigby, treasurer: Cathy Cronen, secretary; and Charlene Heikka, Girls ' League president: standing: Ken Orwick, parliamentarian; Douglas Lay, vice-president; Ed Classen, senior class president: Mike Goin, junior class president; and Charles Luukinen, Boys’ Federation president. Not pictured is Bob Cronen, sophomore class president. Under the direction of Mr. Foster and Greg Wood, presiding officer, the 1965-66 Student Council has undertaken many new ideas to better student government at A.H.S. Starting with the fun-packed Homecoming, this years’ council has proved itself to be both active and efficient. With the war in Viet Nam coming closer when a former A.H.S. student was on the cas¬ ualty list, the student council promoted a fund drive for necessities to be sent to American soldiers. The townspeople gave their backing when an enthusiastic group of students, backed by the A.H.S. Pep Band, built a money chain down Commercial Street on December 11. The suggestion box was again put into oper¬ ation by the council with significant results. Student council members for the first semester are, first row: Fred Mestrich, Sue Pattee, Judith Stearns, Ann Mason, Karen Parrish. Meredyth Mattson, and Paul Pearson. Second row: Peter Hobbing.

Athletic traditions were originated at AHS in 1905 when football was organized. By 1911, baseball became an organized sport at Astoria High; boys’ basketball was started in 1914; track in 1915; and golf, bowling, wrestling, and cross-country have been added in the last fourteen years. Astoria’s first state basketball championship in 1930 was followed closely by three other championships in four years. Astoria’s hoopsters are recognized as having partici¬ pated in more state tournaments than any other high school in Oregon. Key injuries to the varsity football team after two straight victories, the cross-coun¬ try team’s fourth consecutive annual victory at North Marian, Astoria’s Metro-league bas¬ ketball championship and the right to represent the league at state have highlighted this year. Six Astoria Fishermen Receive Metro 1965 varsity football members are, front row: L. Manners, C. Luukinen, T. Davis, R. Walthers, G. Mogenson, G. Estrada, B. Munson, D. Tagliavento, R. Bjork. and B.

Not pictured are L. Simonson and C. Helligso. Victorious in its first two games, the Astoria football varsity was getting set for its first winning season since 1958. But due to several injuries to key members on the team in the second game, the Fishermen were not able to get their offense riioving in the majorityspf their remaining contests. Although the Fishermen managed to compile a 2-7 rec¬ ord, they played a much better brand of football than their record indicates. The Astorians were able to roll up nearly as much ground yardage and punting yardage and lost fewer yards rushing than did their opponents according to final statistics. Leading ground gainer was R. Walthers with a 5.9 aver¬ age per carry; leading passer was B. Munson with a .500 passing percentage; and leading tackier was G. Estrada, with 134 tackles. Fishermen gaining Metro League recognition were R. Walthers, G. Estrada, M. Munson, T. Davis, G. Mogenson, and S. Parker.

The Fighting Fishermen varsity basketball team lived up to its reputation when it took first place in Metro League competition, winning both rounds of the tough schedule. (The two-round, system of playing is new to Metro League and was so incorporated to give slow- starting teams a chance to represent the league at state.) The impressive Metro League 17-3 record gave Coach Pete Bryant his first undisputed Metro crown. In 1963, the Fishermen shared the crown with the Milwaukie Mustangs. Having earned their right to compete in the state tournament, Astoria beat the Corvallis Spartans but were downed by the Baker Bulldogs. Their chances for a consolation berth were lost by a defeat to the Molalla Indians. In non-league games Astoria won its first game against Kelso 51-40, but were dropped by Columbia River 75-56. The most outstanding player on the varsity squad was Mike Goin, a six foot one inch junior. He finished sixth in the Metro scoring race with 331 points in twenty league appearances, to average 16.6 points per game. In rebounds the small Astoria team had 839 to their opponents’ 643. The team was led by senior Tighe Davis with 160, followed by juniors. Steve Palmrose with 148 and Mike Goin with 142. On recoveries Astoria did quite well with 402 to their opponents 208. Leading the team in this column was senior Ken Orwick with 67, followed by senior Tighe Davis with 63 and junior Steve Palmrose with 62. Mike Goin was elected to the first team All-Metro as guard and received honorable mention for All-State. Senior Charles Luukinen and junior Steve Palmrose received honorable mention for All-Metro.

Astoria’s record was good enough to tie for the Metro League J.V. title this year. Astoria’s impressive record came on “good offense, good shooting, and good re¬ bounding,” according to Coafch Ron Ricketts. A balanced attack also helped the J.V.’s gain a formidable record. Art Reith led the club with 208 points and 123 rebounds. John Cronen closely followed Reith with 199 points. Dave Hearn led the team in recoveries with 71, while Mike Springer led the club in assists with 42. As a team, Astoria outshot their opponents .426 to .380 and outrebounded them 975 to 793. “Several of the boys should be able to play varsity ball next year,” concluded Coach Ricketts. Chuck Olson goes high in the air trying to out-jump an opponent for a short shot. Dave Hearn successfully steals a rebound from an opposing player.

First All-Star Game Highlights Intramurals Action in the first Intramural All - Star - Championship game shows George Estrada, a member of the All-Star team, driving for a layin against Bob Carsner of tbe Championship team. Victors were the league winning Mogenson’s, by a score of 4740. Mogenson’s, who had an unblemished league mark of 10-0, was paced by Steve Wilson with a 24-2 scoring aver¬ age, the highest in league history. Fishermen Shocked By Surprise Tourney Team After upsetting the Corvallis Spartans 64-48, the Astoria Fishermen’s chances for a championship game looked very promising. But their hopes abruptly ended when they were defeated by the “Cinderella” Baker Bulldogs 53-49. The Astorians were eliminated from the tourney when they lost to the Molalla Indians 59-57. “I feel we were ten seconds and four points away from playing in the finals,” remarked Coach Pete Bryant about the Baker game after the tourney. Two Baker guards unsuccessfully attempt to block a long jump shot by Astoria forward Mike Goin. Rob Greenberg and Bill Monsen go high in the air to out rebound Dave Rothwell of Molalla, high scorer of the tourney.

The Junior-Soph basketball team won the powderpuff game by a score of 15-11, although the Senior-Sophs made a valiant rally in the fourth quarter. Taking winning honors at the Olympics were the sopho¬ mores, followed by the seniors and the juniors. Various races and contests highlighted the games. Paula Rieck and Janice Tubbs enthusiastically try to complete the orange race as Bob Messer officiates. Fierce struggle for the rebound between members of the two girls’ powderpuff basketball teams adds excitement to the Lupercalia festivities.

Little Participation Hampers Wrestlers Varsity wrestling team co-captains are seniors Don Atwood and Garry Hovde. The Astoria grapplers placed 7th out of 10 teams competing at the district meet, but oc¬ cupied the Metro League cellar with a 0-11 record. Outstanding players on the team were Sam Adams, who made All-district second team by winning 11 out of his 12 matches for the year, and Gary Hovde, one of the co-captains, who received honorable mention in the 168 pound- weight class. The team was hampered by the fact that there were only 15 players to make up the 13 weight classes on the varsity team. So Astoria had to forfeit two of the weight classes, because there were no wrestlers to fill the positions. There were two freshmen wrestlers on the var¬ sity squad, Virgil Langrell and Dennis Middle- ton, who received 3rd at District. Dave Heckard, Astoria varsity wrestler, pins unknown opponent.

Ahola, Steve Putnam: second row: Cliff Fick, Dave Hearn, Although the Astoria varsity baseball team completed its season with a 11-13 record, the Fishermen came up with victories in their last six games of the season. Coach Ross Putnam explained that the reason for this winning streak was the fact that “as the team gained experience they showed good fielding and good hitting .at key times.” “We were close in all of the games,” remarked Putnam, “but lost because of inexperience.” The Fishermen were de¬ feated in eight of their games by only one run. Finishing sixth place in the Metro league, the Astorians were led by pitcher Cliff Fick, who, according to Coach Putnam, had “varied speed and kept the batters off.” Lead¬ ing batter for Astoria was first baseman Mike Springer with a .286 batting average. Both of these players received Metro All-Star recognition. Astoria Season Record 3-1.... 7-5 Seaside Astoria 0. . ... 6 Beaverton Astoria 1-2. . . 2-3 St. Helens Astoria 4. . Astoria 0. .

The J.V. baseball team, playing its first season in Metro League competition, had a rather poor season with no wins and ten losses. This can be partly accounted for since nine out of the eighteen team members were freshmen, while the larger teams of their opponents were comprised entirely of sophomores and juniors. Outstanding players of the team were John Flood, who batted .450, and Russ McCollister, who was a good all-around catching, hitting, and pitching player. The team was coached by both Mr. Charles Sarin and Mr. Vince Dulchich. Rod Severson, Astoria batter, gets set to hit a pitched ball. Golfers Share Metro League Title The Astoria varsity golf team had its best season in school history as it shared the Metro League title and placed third at the di strict meet. Sharing the league honors with David Douglas, the Fishermen finished the season with a 9-1 league record, and a 20-3 season mark. Coach Evans added, “Our golf program is not designed for Metro League competition only, but for the promotion of a very enjoyable future pastime.

Sports The things AHS STUDENTS remember are . . . the roar of the crowd when the Fighting Fishermen turn an almost certain defeat into a victory . . . that unexpected “A” . . . the challenge of a difficult problem . . . that mad dash toward the bus just before it leaves . . . those stirring pep assemblies . . . looking forward to the ten minute break between second and third periods . . . the frenzy of election week . . . the sound of laughing voices . . . Homecoming week with its unforgettable events . . . trying to make it to class before the second bell rings . . . quiet periods of study in the library . . . the confusion of those first few days of school . . . and making lasting friend¬ ships. Yet each student is an individual. Each has his problems, his ambitions and his dreams. Sometimes his goals seem too far away, too hard to reach. Even graduation is a long, long way off to a sophomore. But then that long-awaited day arrives, when “Pomp and Circumstance” echo through the halls, and each senior steps onto the platform to receive his diploma. Then he realizes that high school has been a stepping-stone to more adult goals. o twm ■ • f ’ ! 1 • • T I 1 « • h T • i « • 1 ■ Class Of ' 68 Plunging into the 1965-66 school year with our usual enthusiasm, we, the sophomores, soon settled down to work. Although the homework load became heavier, we still found time to participate in school activities. We got the year off to a good start, with our whole¬ hearted support of the Football Homecoming. Urging the team on to victory with colorful signs and plenty of school spirit, we won the Homecoming competition and were awarded the Homecoming trophy for 1965. The next big event of the year was the Winter Festival. Entering into the fun with a will to win, we carried off first place again. The Soph Hop had the unique theme of “Roust About Reno.’’ Members of the student body were taken back to the days of the Wild West with its gambling casinos, complete with bartenders and gambling games. During the course of the academic year we were intro¬ duced to many new things. Japanese haikus, dissections of frogs, Julius Caesar, history bibliographies, experimentation with “darling” baby chicks, scopes of history, and Silas Marner made the year an interesting one. This has been an exciting and informative year, but we’re looking forward to being upper classmen next year. Standing ready to serve the sophomore class are class officers, Bob Cronen, president; Bob Huhta, vice-president: Mike Springer, sergeant-at-arms, Meredyth Mattson, secretary: and Linda Fornas, treasurer. 90 Personalities Kathy Abrahamson Helene Adamchak Greg Adams Sam Adams Barbara Albertsen Lani Armstrong Doug Arnall Tom Atwood Cheryl Baird Bob Barnes Shelley Barnett Jonni Barrett Monte Bellingham Paula Bettiol Bob Biddle Kathy Bingham Sue Bjork Herbert Blanchard Carol Boman Rosemary Boss Marsha Bowers Donna Bozarth Jeff Brandenburg Barbie Brooks Barry Brown Irene Buckman Jean Rue Molly Burget Mike Callahan Annette Cameron Donna Campbell John Capps Gayle Chessman Nancy Collins Jane Copstead Bob Cottam Jim Crabtree John Cronen Boh Cronen Roxanne Curry Paul Curtis Pat Darnell Bob Davis Steve Dean Bob Donovan Garry Day Ronald Dickinson Sandy Duff Class spirit and lots of preparation, aid the sophomores in winning Bonfire Rally points according to C.

But—some¬ thing happened to our organization and we didn’t quite make it. (Next year we plan to regain the trophy! Y We had fun during the Winter Festival, too, even though the final results for our class weren’t the best. Not to he outdone, however, we showed our school spirit by faithfully attending the games and winning yell compe¬ titions at the pep assemblies. Our junior year brought a number of challenging new classes. U. S. history, chemistry, English III and advanced algebra kept us busily carting our books home and back. Drama provided an opportunity for many to display their talents on stage. Along with spring came the traditional Iowa tests. We especially enjoyed the double lunch periods which helped to compensate for the long hours spent concentrating on the tests. Displaying our interests and capabilities in school govern¬ ment, we avidly plunged into election week. Next year as seniors we will have a chance to show our ability in a num¬ ber of the top offices. Out of crepe paper, kleenex, confusion, and anticipation, we created “An Evening in Shangri-La” for the Junior Prom.

We met new friends, new teachers, and engaged in new activ¬ ities. Now, we are old friends with all three, and as we prepare for graduation we stop for a moment to look hack at our four years at AHS. After our freshman year started with orientation, our first united effort as a class was Homcoming, when we took second place in class competition. We chose Jackie Singleton to represent us as princess. We also combined effort and talent to make our first class dance, “Carnival,” a success. It was Iowa Test year, too. As we moved into our sophomore year we became a more unified class. We chose Silvia Wirrkula as our princess and captured the coveted Homecoming trophy. This year we became active in AFS and raised $625 for it through a candy sale. We held our second class dance, “Playboy’s Pad.” Our junior year started with the realization that half of our high school years lay behind us. We took our second Iowa Tests. Janice Lovvold was our third-year princess for Homecoming. We held our first formal dinner-dance, “Athens by Night.” Seniors at last! The mighty class of ’66 set out to prove their worth by taking a close second in the Fall Homecoming competition. We were proud to have Linda Miller chosen as Homecoming queen and Jackie Singleton and Sue Raasina as senior princesses. With December, began the frantic schedule of college visita¬ tions, entrance examinations, scholarship applications and interviews, and Armed Forces Assemblies that would continue until the final weeks of our last year at AHS. January 8 was the date set for our final class- sponsored dance “Dante’s Inferno,” the Senior Ball. As June draws nearer, the libraries are jammed with seniors emptying the shelves of reference sources for term papers. Excitement mounts as results of scholar¬ ship and college admissions applications come in. In the rush of finals week, class day, baccaulaureate, and. at last, graduation, as we look back over our four years, we realize that they have passed all too soon.

A hastily organized “German” band plays in uniform (liederhosen) before an appreciative audience at the A.F.S. dinner. 1 hey are (1. to r.) Doug Nopson, Tom Moberg, Loren Korff. Charles Clayton, and Peter Hobbing. March 29. official A.F.S. Day at Astoria High School, saw the arrival of six foreign exchange students representing Europe and South America. Besides speak¬ ing to classes and sightseeing, the A.F.S.er’s attended a dinner in the evening which was put on to raise funds to sponsor next year’s exchange student to AHS. Here, they are -hown enjoying an organ piece played by Shelby Day, A.F.S. committee chairman, at the after-dinner party held at her home. They are (1. to r.) M. Tabink (Neth¬ erlands!. A. Marc (France), S. Day, B. Watt (Chile), D. Seghezzi (Argentina), and S. Moreira (Brazil). One of the most important committees of student government is A.F.S., whose main purpose is to raise funds to bring foreign students to Astoria and to send students abroad. This year’s projects included the newly conceived idea of having an invitational dinner, which raised funds and created interest in the foreign exchange program. American A.F.S. returnee from Germany Jane Lovell, collects contributions at the A.F.S. dinner. To My Schoolmates and Teachers at AHS To slay one year in America always is a wonderful experi¬ ence for students from foreign countries, but 1 can say that my experiences would have not been half as great, had I not attended such a school as Astoria High. I always will consider it an honor to have been an exchange student of your school. I teas so glad to watch the Fishermen in such a successful basketball season as well as to enjoy all the other sports and to attend the other events such as dances, plays, and concerts. Many things were different and unusual to me at the begin¬ ning, but. with your help, I very soon got used to and learned to appreciate them. I also was able to see the things in my own country from a new viewpoint and to recognize weak and strong points of both our nations. What, however, I consider to be most important are the similarities between American and German people—teenagers especially. They’ve the same interests and hobbies, etc. To promote a better understanding of our two nations will be my main concern after returning to Germany. Thanks so much to you all. It has been so great to have met each of you. hope some day you will visit, my home in Ger¬ many and will enjoy it as much as did your wonderful town. Auf Wiedersehen! From your foreign exchange student who never will forget that terrific stay in Oregon in 1965 - 1966 . Auf Wiedersehen in Heidelberg, hoffentlich bald.

As June approaches, thoughts turn to HUNUKS and graduation. Rushed seniors are suddenly conscious of nostalgic memories . . . measuring for caps and gowns . . . final exams amid the excitement of approach ing graduation . . . awaiting results of scholarship applications . . . entering ‘‘honoraries” . . . banquets . . . awards assemblies . . . adding last minute touches to the annual graduation activities . . . being congratulated by envious juniors and fellow classmates . . . bidding misty farewells to the once-strange, now-familiar routines . . . realizing that graduation is not an end, but a beginning. Months in advance of graduation many seniors are applying for college admissions, while others look forward to marriage, the Army, or other careers. Special recognition in specific fields of study is given to seniors through inductions into honoraries such as the National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, or Quill and Scroll, and through awards and honors received in the form of scholarship grants, which are valuable aids in their future education. This year, those of the class of 1966 have joined the ranks of the several thousand seniors who have, since 1893, extended their hands for that all-important, long-awaited diploma—their reward for four years of academic achievement. Mathematics Enthusiasts Honored Officers of Mu Alpha Theta are Barbara Gray, secretary-treasurer: Rick Bjork. vice-president: and Greg Nance, president. The AHS Chapter of Mu Alpha Theta, the national honorary society for outstanding mathematics students, was first chartered in 1958 with only eight members. Since that time membership has grown; twenty-four members were inducted this vear. Each year Mu Alpha Theta sponsors the National Math Contest in which students compete in their knowledge of mathematics. Presenting an award to Barbara Gray, winner of the 17th Annual National Math Contest, is Mr. Douglas Clark, vice¬ principal. New members of Mu Alpha Theta are (1st row. 1. to r.) B. Moksness, S.

Between calling home at noon and inquiring of exasperated mothers, ' ‘Did I get anything in the mail?” and re¬ sponding to summons to the business office, many seniors can think of little else. They listen attentively to announcements over the intercom for information concerning deadlines for applications and interviews. As educational costs increase, each year more scholarships are made available to quali¬ fied students.

The final deadline has been met; the year’s happenings, recorded. We the staff members would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to those who worked patiently with us throughout the year, keeping up with an increas¬ ingly heavy schedule as each deadline drew nearer. We would especially like to thank our photography adviser, Mr. Jensen; our staff adviser, Mrs. Christensen; and Mr. Ricketts, our business adviser, for spending hours of their free time helping to produce our book; and Mr. Jones, our Taylor yearbook representative (pictured here with the senior staff members), for his counseling. We would also like to express our appreciation to you, the students and faculty of AHS, for your support and cooperation. We hope you enjoy reading the 1966 Zephyrus as much as we did producing it.
