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

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.

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.
