Things That Last ... 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 . . .
