Since then it has continually served as the school’s record, beginning as a quar¬ terly literary magazine. In 1917 it be¬ came an annual, though still mostly literary, and from then until now has emerged into the pictorial record it is today. This year the Zephyrus would like its readers to take a new look at the school they are attending, to try to understand its traditions, its goals and its opportunities. Take a new look at what school is all about. ■MrJm 8 Academics An ordinary school day for students consists of seven periods. Sometimes it seems that during these seven periods all students do is watch the clock and wait anxiously for the break or lunch or the last bell. But if one looks closer, the learn¬ ing that is going on becomes apparent. As con¬ cerned students discuss major issues, explore un¬ known subjects and gain knowledge, it is obvious that they really do care about learning. Through the experiences of school, students are preparing to meet life and face it. 9 Plans Keep Directors Busy This year Superintendent Roy Seeborg and Directors devoted much of their attention toward the construction of the new junior high school. Hopefully the new facilities should be ready for operation in the fall of 1968 . Among his other duties Superintendent See¬ borg interviews and recommends new teach¬ ers for the system, encourages and guides studies for better teaching methods and cur¬ riculum improvement, and assists principals with administrative problems. The Directors of School District 1-C need to be dedicated workers for the best interests of both the City of Astoria and the students and faculty of Astoria High School. They are given the responsibility of making educa¬ tional policies, hiring the superintendent and teachers and providing and maintaining facilities. Superintendent Roy Seeborg gazes over plans for the new junior high school hoping it will be completed before next fall. Shown below are Directors Lester Spofford and O. W Dimick, Super- Mrs. Audrey Poindexter and Arthur Stangland. intendent Seeborg, Chairman Arvid Wuonola, Directors Loren Matthews, 10 The Principal Looks Ahead In his second year at AHS, Principal Daniel Clifford has initiated many new programs and policies into the curriculum, such as the honor study program and a new policy of more student responsibility. Mr. Clifford ' s duties include the coordinating of all school activities, directing the staff in carrying out its responsibilities, and evaluating the total scholastic program at AHS. Mr. Clifford, in commenting on the slow acceptance of the honor study program, said he hoped more students would take advantage of the op¬ portunity in the future. Speaking on behalf of the administration, he said an attempt has been made to give the students more responsibility. In his words: Allow the stu¬ dents as much responsibility as their maturity and time allow. For next year Mr. Clifford said a fifth-year math course, new schedul¬ ing procedures, and a closer coordination with Clatsop College are tentatively planned. Cooperation Called A Must! As usual, Mr. Douglas Clark, vice-principal of Astoria High School, is well occupied with his many responsibilities. His job includes being Boys ' Federation adviser, dean of boys, and athletic director. As athletic di¬ rector, he schedules all sports events, repre¬ sents AHS at athletic functions, buys the ath¬ letic equipment and sets up the district athletic budget. He also handles attendance, discipline, and the distribution of textbooks. Mr. Clark stated that as far as discipline and attendance are concerned 90 per cent of the parents and students are very cooperative. It ' s the other 10 per cent of the kids and parents that are the major problem. 1 1 Counselors Continually Busy All day long, students can be seen running in and out of Miss Anna Marie Friedrich’s office. Because she is director of guidance, students come to seek her advice on many subjects. Seniors especially seek her counsel on what to do after high school. Miss Friedrich helps many students find part-time jobs throughout the year, since employers often inform her of job opportunities. She also directs the administration of all aptitude tests in the Astoria Public School System. Besides all these duties, Miss Friedrich finds time to ad¬ vise the Service Club. § Dean of Girls Mrs. Louann Schafer welcomes any girl into her office to discuss any problem. A busy school day for Mrs. Louann Schafer, dean of girls, includes a little of everything. Most of her day is devoted to discussing problems. She invites any girl to come in and talk about any problem. Mrs. Schafer ' s main objective is to help the girls help themselves. During fifth period Mrs. Schafer can be found working out in the gym. Physical fitness is an important part of her life as can be told by her ability to s ki both on water and snow. She is adviser for Girl ' s League as well as being the drama instructor. At AHS Mrs. Schafer could well be la¬ beled a Jack-of-all-trades. Director of Guidance Miss Anna Marie Friedrich having been at AHS for 30 years, really knows her business. 12 During his psychology class, Mr. Coffeen conducts a memory experiment involving Dave Graybeal and Rick lhander, left. Coffeen New Counselor, Psychology Teacher With a wide background in education, Mr. Ray Coffeen came to AHS as boys ' counselor and psychology in¬ structor. Mr. Coffeen was raised and educated in Wash¬ ington. Earning credits at various colleges, he was awarded a B.A. in Education, B.A, in Sociology and a Masters in Education at Eastern Washington State Col¬ lege. His experience in selling for a publishing company, counseling at the Job Corps Center, and various teaching positions qualify Mr. Coffeen for his duties at AHS. In addition to counseling the boys and teaching the new psychology class, he acts as Student Council adviser. Mr. Ray Coffeen, new boys counselor, discusses a problem with a concerned parent. Miss Friedrich briefly discusses a schedule change with Steve Dean. Kathy Abrahamson, a chemistry student, mixes a solu¬ tion of lead iodide at a known molar concentration. This year’s science courses offered a real challenge to interested students. Besides the required course of biology; biology II, chem¬ istry I, II, and physics were available. Some students were given a chance to assist in science training and practices by being laboratory assistants. Students actually participated in laboratory experiments, making their own observations and drawing their own conclusions from the end results. The equipment available made it possible to learn much from these experi¬ ments. Movies and demonstrations by teach¬ ers also gave students a greater under¬ standing.

Program Expansion Expected Next Year The Astoria High mathematics department provides a diversified curriculum. AHS students may fulfill their math graduation requirement by enrolling in algebra, busi¬ ness math, or senior review. For those seeking a higher level of mathematical knowledge, geometry, advanced algebra and trigonometry are also offered. Next year the program will be further expanded by adding a course in calculus, probability and statistics. To recognize students of higher academic achievement and exceptional mathematical talent, AHS sponsors a chapter of Mu Alpha Theta, a national mathematical honorary. Dave Mathre, an advanced Algebra student, contem¬ plates a tough problem. William Reuter Robert Scott 15 Don Rossler, Mark lhander, and Jim Yockey take part in the play, Too Many Hands On A Watch, ' ' by William Morgan in their Sophomore English class. Mrs. Jane Hill, a practice teacher in the English Depart¬ ment, explains a satire to her seventh period class. Facility Sought In Language Arts With the emphasis on literature, English classes concentrated on reading, writing and interpreting this year. The assistance of the practice teacher, Mrs. Jane Hill, the S.R.A. Composition Series using the overhead projector, filmstrips, phono¬ graph records, and movies helped make the year both interesting and profitable for the stu¬ dents. Again this year the reading laboratory was available for students wishing to increase and improve their reading ability. Mrs. Pat Coffeen, assisted by Mrs. Gertie Rinell, supervised the lab, which according to the students proved to be a great help. Ru sse II Alborn Dennis Forrester Kristina Pernu Kenneth Chapman Marjorie Halderman John Price Pat Coffeen Rebecca Hildenbrand Josephine Swanson 16 Oral Expression, Culture Qtudied Concentrating on correct pronunciation is Nancy Nordstrom, a first-year Spanish student. With the aid of microphones and earphones the student can hear him¬ self talk, while the teacher can also tune in. Taking a foreign language this year offered stu¬ dents more than just a chance to speak, read, and write it. Although these were emphasized, the background and culture of the country were also studied. Advanced classes wrote stories and read novels while beginning classes concen¬ trated on conversing. Adding a special touch of interest were the recordings, films, and slides as well as caroling through the halls at Christmas time. In addition to French, German and Spanish, all modern languages, Latin, a classical language, was taught by Mr. Carl Carlson. The third year French class dictates sentences to Mrs. Gross as she writes them on the board to compose a story. Caught by the camera while holding an informal conversation in German is the first year class taught by Dr. Gross 17 Social Studies Engender Enthusiasm Social studies, a required subject for each year, was met head-on with enthusiasm at AHS. Sophomores were challenged by World History, Juniors by U.S. History, and Seniors by Modern Problems. Students who wished to dig deeper in the field also took American Government or Economics. A special highlight of the year for seniors was a visitation by several Tongue Point Job Corps girls who spent a day discussing racial problems with the students. Besides looking back in history, Juniors and Sophomores also studied current events and history in the making. Economics classes learned the behavior of the stock market by making mock investments. Being election minded, government classes closely watched and pre¬ dicted the outcome of the presidential pri¬ maries. During a unit on religion, ministers from different denominations were asked tc speak to the Modern Problems classes. Among these was the Rev. Toivo Hakki nen from Zion Lutheran church. H.

Breaks Day Physical fitness is the major and most important goal of of the physical education department at Astoria High School. This interesting, fun and yet strenuous program included many types of sports. In the fall, all students partici¬ pating in the physical education program enjoyed co-ed swimming activity. Throughout the late fall and winter season P.E. classes enjoyed basketball, soccer, volleyball and other team sports. As spring approached, students participated in archery, badminton and golf which were also co-ed activities. Vigorous activity provided a refreshing break in the school day. In today ' s world, it is just as important to have a healthy body as well as a healthy mind. Cody Harris builds up his muscles on the new weight-training apparatus. Pete Bryant Marilyn Parrish Vince Dulcich An auto mechanics student, Steve Dean, concentrates on rebuilding an engine. Watching attentively as Mr. Hautala demonstrates foundry work are metal shop students Craig Belt and Rob Roberts. Shop Techniques, Safety Stressed The underlying purpose behind the manual arts classes at Astoria High School is to pre¬ pare students for a vocational future. A background in industrial arts is achieved in wood shop, metal shop, auto shop and mechanical drawing. The students learn how to work with the various shop tools, empha¬ sizing the proper techniques and shop safety. Giving a background in the fundamentals of using drafting equipment, classes in mechan¬ ical drawing I and II train students for a future education in vocational arts. With the use of a router, woodshop student Jim Barton is shown building an electric guitar. Larry Johnson Marvin Hautala 20 Creative Arts Draw Students The buzz of a sewing machine, the smell of a freshly baked pie, the click of a camera shutter, or the swish of a paintbrush were common to students involved in creative arts. Open to juniors and seniors was a semester course in photography taught by Mr. Jensen. Students learned basic information about proper lighting, film, operation of a camera, and printing pictures. Home economics and family living provided girls with instruction in sewing, cooking, nu¬ trition and family budget manag ement. Be¬ ginning classes as well as advanced classes were offered to girls wishing to increase their domestic abilities. To allow students to express themselves through creativity, art I and II were offered. Mr. Gunderson helped the classes develop their imagination by assigning projects in painting, sculpture and designing.

Mr, Thomas, a Haitian school teacher, visited Astoria High as well as other American schools in an effort to gain knowledge of new teaching methods. 21 A bookkeeping student busily involves herself with a complicated practice set. Business Courses Mr. Anderson watches over his students as they frantically try to beat the clock ' ' in a five minute timing. Offer Variety For the business minded student a wide va¬ riety of classes were offered this year at AHS —data processing, shorthand I and II, brief- hand and bookkeeping. Not only providing students with a back¬ ground for a business career, typing, brief- hand and shorthand also increased their efficiency. Mrs. Olsen and Mr. Anderson guided students over the “rough spots when it seemed impossible to type over 25 words per minute or transcribe shorthand. For a student who wanted to become more skillful in money management, bookkeeping was a beneficial course to take. Mr. Ricketts succeeded in giving students a clearer con¬ ception of taking care of finances for them¬ selves or a business. Data processing, a relatively new course at AHS, was also offered to seniors by Clatsop Community College. £jmUUu Ronald Ricketts Cara Olsen Eugene Anderson 22 Roxie Hill, piano accompanist, is shown practicing with Bob Biddle, who is getting ready for the Spring Concert. Popular Tunes Sung By Choir Experiencing some changes in the music department at A.H.S. were the members of the Combined Choir, under the direction of Mr. James Hansen. Several new policies went into effect this year. In previous years, the procedure has been to have two choirs, Advanced and General, but this year the two were combined into one. Another new idea this year was the cooperation of the band and choir in singing and playing together at concerts. Also, in an effort to get more students interested in choir, popular songs were sung: For example, “Georgy Girl by Tom Springfield and “Yesterday by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Activities throughout the year for the A.H.S. Choir in¬ cluded participating in the Metro Music Festival in April, the Christmas assembly, and the Spring Concert held in May. Special recognition went to Bob Biddle who was the only person from the Astoria Choir to go to Music in May, a state festival held in Hillsboro. Singing together this year are members of the Combined Choir: Front Vaiorie Kuhn, Debbie Sjoblom, Mary Johnson, Pat Darnell, Yvonne Wheatley, Chuck Gunn, Dave Patterson, June Kaarle, Debbie White, Becky Ross, Linda Heines, Debbie Brower, Cindie Lee; Back —Clifford Ledbetter, Mike Cox, Roxie Hill, Viki Jacobsen, Bob Biddle, Tim Gillum, Tom Kelly, Rachel Mensing, Cheryl Peterson, Elaine Endicott, Millie Doran, Debi Larson, Pat Van Winkle, and Patty Leach. 23 Band Honors Attributed To Symphonic band members pose for a picture before their spring con¬ cert.

This and other honors achieved by the band were at¬ tributed to the “cooperation between the various section heads and student director Aura Wright, said Mr. Hansen. In an ex¬ change planned by the Symphonic Band and the members of the Marshall High Band, the Astoria members performed a concert there on May 10, which was followed the next week with an exchange performance by the Portlanders. The Spring Concert, an annual performance, was also given in con¬ junction with the Chorus group on May 9. Mrs. James Hansen, new director, pauses during a band practice. 25 26 Organizations Every person is a part of some group—the group he lives with, or works with, or spends his free time with. Through the organizations at AHS, stu¬ dents learn to cooperate with others. They learn the importance of working together to get things done, with each person giving and taking a little. This cooperation is necessary in every group one is ever associated with. Each AHS club has a goal—the honoraries recog¬ nize ability, the language clubs learn about for¬ eign cultures, the vocational clubs help students plan their futures, etc. In many cases students can develop their talents in clubs,- and in all cases, if the students really get involved with the club ' s activities, they will have a lot of fun. 27 A concerned student has the last word in the debate over the mural of the fisher¬ men on the gymnasium wall.

With pen in hand, Molly Burget is ready to take notes if any important matter should arise in an executive council meeting. This year’s student council was the center of much activ¬ ity and hard work as the governing body at A.H.S. undertook new and challenging tasks. The student council sponsored many social functions throughout the year. It pleased a majority of students by proceeding with Homecoming as had been done in previous years. In December a Christmas dance was held as a new activity to be presented annually. The council also sponsored the Winter Festival activities in January. Working closely with the executive council, the room rep¬ resentatives made changes in the constitution, adopted a new orphan for the student body, and raised money for both the school and community. A first at A.H.S. was a student body debate over the mural on the gym wall. The student-run government was successful in seeing that the wishes of the students as a whole were carried out and that some necessary improvements to the school were made. 29 Qociety Honors Scholars Speakers at the annual induction ceremony for new members of Na¬ tional Honor Society are— Front: Kathleen O ' Connor, secretary; Molly Burget; Lorrie Clifford; and Pauline Persson, treasurer.

The squad traveled to three Metro-League schools, and to the district tournament at St. Helens as well as to four invitational speaking contests to compete for awards. Three members of the group, Debbie Berg, Megann Nudo, and Harold Bull qualified for the state speech tournament, with Megann placing fourth in Poetry. The students gained additional experience by speaking in class and by doing cuttings as the entertainment for several school functions throughout the year. Pictured here are Robbie Mattson, who entered the district speech tournament with a cutting from “Our Town, ' Ann Yancey, who entered in oratory, and Leighland Wilson, who entered with a cutting from “Alice in Wonderland. Not pictured are Debby Brower, Richard Purs- ley, Lani Armstrong, and Annette Cameron. Those students who qualified for the state speech tournament are Harald Bull, speaking in extemporaneous and impromptu, Megann Nudo, in poetry and a cutting from The Little Prince, and Debbie Berg, in humorous interpretation. 33 MEMBERS Greg Adams Lynn Ahola Debbie Anderson Debbie Berg Janet Bewersdorff Bob Biddle Colleen Brown Molly Burget Lorrie Clifford Toby Collins Bob Cronen Linda Fornas Pam Garner Debby Gunderson Cheryl Gustafson Jim Hallaux Dawn Headley Lisa Henningsgaard Lisa Hickman Brenda Hugill Kathy Korpela Mike Kujala John Kuppenbender Shirley Kuppenbender Judy Lake Janet Matila Chris Moore Jack Moore Nancy Nordstrom Megann Nudo Karen Olsen Tom Palmrose Richard Pursley Chr.is Quinn Joy Raasina Tom Reuter Joe Sponberg Tena Steinmann Becky Swanson Chris Uhrbrand Yvonne Wheatley Cathy Wujek Ann Yancey Jim Yockey Marji Yost Russian Love Story Staged Furthering the interests of students in dramatic arts has been the aim of the National Thespian Society. To become a member of Thespians, students worked on or acted in the Tournament of Plays staged at the begin¬ ning of the year, for which points were given. When a minimum number of points were obtained, a student be¬ came a member for life. For their spring production, Thespians staged Ninotchka, a Russian love story. Watching new members, Pam Garner, Joy Raasina, Janet Bewersdorff, and Christine Moore sign in at their induction ceremony is senior member Yvonne Wheatley.

Library Club Kept Busy With Duties The student librarians who were members of Library Club not only helped to keep order in the library, they also promoted an interest in books and reading. Members of this unusual club learned the proper method of making a term paper, how to use reference materials, and the basics of librarianship. This year ' s club produced many outstanding displays in the showcases outside of the libarary as well as artistic bulletin boards inside. Two teas were held for the facul¬ ty on the occasions of Halloween and Christmas. Sponsoring the annual girl-ask-boy dance held in May was the group ' s final activity for the year. The busy officers of Library Club lake a break to meet together behind the checkout desk.

Throughout the year, girls sold licorice, sponsored after-game dances, and put on their annual banquets to raise money for the awards. In the middle of winter, the father-daughter banquet, with the theme Hawaiian Luau, added a touch of summer to the snowy day. Contributing to the reality of the scene were Hawaiian singers and dancers from the Tongue Point Job Corps center. Mothers accompanied their daughters to the spring banquet, and amid the at¬ mosphere of The Sound of Music, they viewed new spring fashions from local stores. The highlight of the evening was the announcement of the 1969 Girls ' League cabinet. Each month the cabinet of Girls ' League chose one girl, outstanding in some trait, to be honored as girl of the month. It was an exhausting year, but an extremely successful one for the hard-working Girls ' League cabinet. Models Anne Lovell, Sue Bjork, Nancy Brooks, Debby Anderson, Yvonne Wheatley, and Kathleen Poindexter wait their turn at the Mother-Daughter Banquet. Boys ' Fed. Computes ‘Perfect Couples ' An organization to which all boys at A.H.S. belong is Boys ' Federation. Fellowship and education being the main aims of the club, various assemblies were pre¬ sented with such guest speakers as municipal court Judge Nicholas Zafaritos, and Lovell Groves, an Alaskan traveler. Other activities on the year ' s agenda included a computer dance which also involved Warrenton High and Star of the Sea High School. The Boys’ Federation president, Art Rieth, worked in. close coordination with faculty advisers, Mr. Evans, Mr. Korpela, and Mr. Putman. Boys ' Federation officers for this year were John Cronen, vice president; Mike Springer, teasurer; and Art Reith, president. Letting off a little steam at their noon break, Boys ' Federation members play touch football on the senior lawn. Working together to meet the deadline are Verdene McGuire, Perky Coll- Graybeal, Robin Erickson, and Jim Mullins, man, Sandy Classen, Marji Yost, Linda Green, Albin Leong, (rear), David New Magazine Written By Btudents Th is year the students of A.H.S. were given a chance to express themselves in a literary magazine called Impres¬ sions. The publication contained stories, poems, plays and drawings by the students themselves. An editorial staff and production team worked hard to choose material for, and publish, the magazine. For many weeks Marji Yost, editor, and advisers, Miss Pernu and Mr. Alborn, helped the staff to organize the contents of the book. Toward the end of the year they began working on its production. Due to their late start, the staff of Impressions was able to publish only one edition of the magazine. However, it was decided that a staff would be reappointed each year, and that more than one edition a year would be printed in the future. Discussing an article for the magazine are Mr. Alborn, Marji Yost, and Miss Pernu. Listening to some humorous ideas are Sandy Classen, Albin Leong, Jim Mullins, and Verdene McGuire 39 Reporters in sixth period journalism are Mindi Luce, John Flood, Susan man, Sheryl Wheat, Ann Ranta, and Beverly Fifield.

Mike Holmstedt, editor- in-chief, become subjects of the camera. Post Arrival Welcomed The arrival of the Astor Post, put out by the journalism classes, was an event looked forward to once a month by all of the students at A.H.S. The student-written newspaper kept the faculty and stu¬ dents informed of current happenings around the school through editorials, feature articles, and the latest in sports news. Early in the fall, Astor Post and Zephyrus staffs attended a journalism press conference at the University of Oregon in Eugene. The purpose of going to the conference was to learn from students and professional journalists new techniques and trends in producing newspapers and yearbooks. The Astor Post editorial staff includes Jon Gustafson, first page editor; Mary Verdurman, second page editor,- Chris Dahl- gren business manager; Mr. Alborn, adviser,- Bob Biddle, advertising manager; Mike Holmstedt, editor-in-chief, Bob Cronen, sports editor. Not pic¬ tured is Gary Stewart, fourth page editor. 40 Zephyrus Captures Moods of Q+udents Writing copy, drawing layouts, and planning pictures have been the tasks of the 1968 Zephyrus staff. They have had to choose a theme which was followed throughout this yearbook. The main job of the staff was to try and capture the different moods that were felt by the students during the school year. With the help of the advisers, Mr. John Price and Mr. Ronald Ricketts, and Kathleen O ' Connor, Editor-In-Chief, the members were able to meet the deadline. Typing is an important part of yearbook production. Kay Kaufman, typing editor and Susan King, business manager find themselves busily occupied before a deadline. Gathering by the typewriters are— Front: Susan King, Bruce Tolonen, Martha Ras¬ mussen, and Linda Green. Rear: Mr Rick¬ etts, Helen Justen, Lisa Thompson, Kath¬ leen O ' Connor, and Mr. Price. Looking over pictures are—Ken Van Osdol, Nancy Brooks, Jon McCoy, Terry Duoos, Karen Olsen, Anne Lovell, and Kay Kaufman. 41 G.A.A. Girls Compete Against Job Corps : ' - •1 1 k • | jg lv After an exciting football game, students gather in the cafeteria to enjoy the vibrating sounds of the Joker s Wild Hard Rock Band. Is this the way to play basketball? No, but this is how Ava Pitkanen and Sus Brown play volleyball. Members: Karen Barnett Sue Brown Donna Campbell Sandy Classen Bev Fifield Bonnie Forseth Julie Forseth Dawn Headley Sarah Moore Ava Pitkanen Sherrie Robitsch Betsy Schoenlein Debby Schwarzenbach Marcia Updike Karen Youngren Joanne Youtsler Girls’ Athletic Association, advised by Miss Marilyn Parrish, varied its activities through¬ out the year by participating in basketball, volleyball, and track. The social functions of the club included sponsoring the second after-game dance of the year, which featured live music by an A.H.S. group of boys, The Joker ' s Wild Hard Rock Band. Practice volleyball games were held with the Tongue Point Job Corps trainees. Attending the state convention at Newberg was an¬ other new feature this year. As a money-raising project, the girls under¬ took the task of cleaning up the grounds before football games at Gyro Field. If we’re going to beat Job Corps, that ball better go over. Senior members of the A-Club are, front: Bob Biddle, Wayne Loukkala, Mike Houlihan, Mike Springer, Donna Campbell, John Cronen, Jon Saarheim, Dave Hearn, Bob Huhta,- second row: Mike Mohler, John Olson, Dan Isaacson, Russ McCollister, Bob Cronen, Steve Dean, Mike Wolfe, Rick lhander; third row: Alan Peterson, Vic Horgan, Art Reith, Craig Ness, Paul Curtis, Larry Simonsen. A-Club Beneficial to Athletic Program Under the leadership of President Jon Saarheim, and Mr. Ron Ricketts, adviser, the A-Club performed a number of services to the athletic program during the 1967-68 school year. At basketball games, willing A-Club volun¬ teers sold cake raffle tickets in the Sports Hall, while others held ropes at halftime, keeping the crowd off the gymnasium floor. A-Club members were also re¬ sponsible for assisting at wrestling matches and football games. Belonging to A-Club were those who had earned their letters in inter-school sports competition.

These junior and senior girls, advised by Miss Anna Marie Friedrich, Mr. Dennis Forrester, and Mr. Albert McKay, contributed their services to both A.H.S. and various community projects. Every year, Service Club sponsors various activities for the school and its members. The Great Chase , this year ' s theme of Sadie Hawkins, was taken in by a large number of couples. In September, the senior members gave a party for the new members. For Christmas, they held a pizza party. At the end of the year, the junior members held a farewell party for the seniors. Service Club turned most of its proceeds over to the athletic fund program. The remainder went into buying emblems for teams ' jackets. Busy at work in the concession stand are Nancy Branham, Susan King, and Kathleen O’Connor. 44 Attending the IRL Convention held at the Uni¬ versity of Oregon are Christine Quinn, Han- nele Hakala, Margaret Reuter, Horald Bull, Joy Raasina, Lynn Ahola, Julianne Wood, and Connie Averill. IRL Concerned With Human Rights Creating an interest in world affairs is the job of IRL. The International Relations League members held dis¬ cussions twice a week, concerning themselves with hu¬ man rights. The members exchanged ideas and received a better understanding of the world around them. The International Relations League sent delegates, ac¬ companied by their adviser, Miss Pernu, to the Spring Conference held at the University of Oregon in April. At the conference, the members met with delegates from other schools in Oregon to discuss topics concerning world issues and problems. IRL President Tom Reuter poses with the club ' s adviser Miss Pernu. 45 Farmers Of Tomorrow Study Basic Skills Students enrolled in Vocational Agriculture were eligible for membership in Future Farmers of America, a new club to the schools of Clatsop County. Among officers elected from the participating schools were three A.H.S. students: Sterling Ficken, president; -Mark Magnuson, vice president; and Mike Rogers, reporter. Members of F.F.A. learned basic skills in surveying, forestry, and farming methods. The study of animals and fish was also included in the program. As one of their projects, the Future Farmers worked on building a horse barn at the 4-H grounds with hopes of completing it by the summer- A fishing trip to Paulina Lake, near Bend, Oregon, was planned by the group to take place some time after the end of the school year. Struggling to fit a board into place is Future Farmer member Gary An¬ derson. These members of Future Farmers are working diligently to finish the roof of their bam at the 4-H grounds. 46 FTA Promotes Career in Education Are you interested in teaching? Future Teachers of America hold discussions each week which bring out the many aspects, whether good or bad, of the teaching profes¬ sion. The Future Teachers of America have one main goal, and that is to create an interest in education as a ca reer. Besides supervising the meetings, Miss Rose Tolonen and Mrs. Josephine Swanson accompanied the members to the regional conference held at St. Helens. FTA members took part in a visitation day, when they toured the various schools in Astoria to observe and dis¬ cuss teaching methods. Each member observed a class and received valuable information to help them in a teaching career. FTA member John Kuppenbender receives his instructions from Mr. Grayum while on a classroom visitation assignment at the Junior High School. Officers of FTA presiding at the initiation ceremony are Kathy Abrahamson, vice president; Janet Mattila, president; Joyce Hendrickson, secretary; Brenda Hugill, scrapbook keeper; and Tom Reuter, treasurer.

School life includes participation in many and varied activities throughout the year. The class plays and the Spring Production kept many dramatic students occupied, and the dances that each class held called for many volunteers to help. Homecoming week in the Fall was fun for every¬ one, while the Winter Festival helped to brighten dreary winter days. Elections kept students busy for a week in the Spring, and several assemblies throughout the year offered variety. Together with the other events of the year, these activities were a part of high school students will always remember. 49 Vandals may have burned the bonfire early, but that didn ' t stop students from building another one. Here they enjoy the results of their efforts. Spartans beware! As the fishermen march to the bonfire they look as though they ' ll stop at nothing short of ictory. Astoria Becomes Qcene Of Hippie Happening For one wild week, AHS became the scene of a Hippie Happening as students donned beads and flowers to celebrate Homecoming. In unusual, imaginative skits, the classes presented their princesses at an assembly. Class teamwork produced clever decorations for the bon¬ fire rally. The seniors created a giant Spartan dummy and a tulip; the juniors constructed a huge daisy; and the sophomores contributed a Spartan in his coffin. The night of the game, a noise parade wound its way through town to Gyro Field for a game with Hillsboro. The Fishermen fought hard, but lost to last year ' s state champions. A dance with music by The Warlocks brought an end to Homecoming festivities, and things returned to normal. As the curtain opens, the auditorium looks as though it has become the scene of a hippy happening. For while Jim Hallaux reads a poem introducing the sophomore princess to the student body, other barefoot hippies are silently engaged in various activities on the darkened stage. Even a white rabbit has come to the Homecoming dance to hear The Warlocks from Portland play. Following a solemn, candle-lit ceremony, the 1 967 Homecoming court is presented for the first time. Princesses and escorts are Colleen Brown, John Kuppenbender, Linda Fornas, David Hearn, Queen Kathy Abrahamsen, Art Reith, Hannele Hakala, Tom Moberg, Jane Leino, and Bob Grossman. Candle lighters are Nancy Murray and Jeannie Herlin. Matt Kuppenbender is crownbearer, and flower girl is Ann Martinson. 5 ) The moment of calm before the pie be¬ gins to fly is captured by a Zephyrus photographer at the pie-eating contest during Games Night. Jack Pilgreen holds a pie for Greg Adams as he and Jim Barton and Dave Whitney prepare to dig in. ' Sock Hop ' a First For Winter Festival To most Fishermen, the word “Winter Festival brings to mind gooey pie-eating contests, balloon-popping re¬ lays and other hilarious activities on Games Night, a fast-paced powderpuff basketball game and the Senior Ball. But these weren’t the only things on this year’s agenda. The new Sock Hop Dance, in which only those wearing socks instead of shoes were admitted, and the close win over Rex Putnam made the 1968 Winter Festival week a special one. The exciting powderpuff basketball game gave the girls a chance to show their skill. 52 w m 1 to vote for her candidate if they want to improve themselves—or else! Pert Ann Yancey takes over the awesome |ob of student body president for next year from Russ McCollister at the induction ceremony. Fishermen Elect Girl President All the youthful spirit, enthusiasm, and rush of Election Week is hard to capture on paper. It was a week brimming with fiery speeches and slogans, ingenious posters, campaign buttons, and funny skits. But all too soon it was over, and the new stu¬ dent body officers sat on the auditorium stage waiting to be inducted. All were a little scared, but very happy. They looked ahead to the job before them with a feeling of responsibility and gratitude to their classmates who had seen in them the leaders A.H.S. needed for the 1968-69 school year. And heading the council was Ann Yancey, the first girl president in the history of Astoria High. Pat Hendrickson and Patty Leach find it hard to think of school work when there are so many campaign posters to look over. 53 “Well, shall we have some coffee?” asks Bart (Mike Kujala) of Elise (Cindie Lee) in the sophomore play, “Company House, which centers around a wife-swapping theme.

Spring Production— Pioneer, Go Home! “Pioneer, Go Home!”, by Richard Powell, is a wacky melodrama about the Kwimpers, a welfare family, who decided a newly-built highway was just the spot for their home. Their struggles with the law and adventures with gam¬ blers at Queen Bee ' s Casino made this year ' s Spring Production quite a different experience for student actors and audience alike. An arrogant state trooper, Tom Palmrose, gets a sharp look-over from Holly Smith (Debby Gunderson) when he comes to evict the Kwimper family. 55 Cafeteria Transformed Into A Wonderland Members of the Denny Thiel Quartet set the beat for the Senior Ball. The thrilling moment arrives for Cathy Sunnell as she is crowned Queen of the Senior Ball by Mike Wong, Senior class president. As couples entered the cafeteria, it was hard to believe that just a few hours ago it had been crowded with hungry students. Now it was trans¬ formed into a Wonderland by Night by the Class of ' 68 for their formal Senior Ball dance. A picturesque bridge and waterfall lured the dancers for an evening of fun, while murals covered the walls and stars and candles cast a dreamy spell. Finally the long-awaited moment arrived when Princess Cathy Sunnell became Queen of the Senior Ball. Other royalty included Princesses Janet Mattila, Molly Burget, Yvonne Wheatley, and Barbara Seppala. Providing music for the evening was the Denny Thiel Quartet. 56 Oriental Decor Creates Mood For Junior Prom A bit of Japan floated into Astoria with the 1968 Junior Prom. Sakara Noi Koi or Cherry Blossom Love, was the springtime theme chos¬ en by the Class of 69. Pagodas, Japanese lanterns, and an enticing, make-believe pool and bridge were equalled in their loveliness only by the royal court. The JG Trio and One provided the evening ' s music for this formal affair. The JG Trio and One comes on strong with pop and old-time favorites alike at the Junior Prom. Set against an Oriental background is the Junior Prom court, consisting of Anne Lovell, Ken VanOsdol, Judi Saarheim John Kuppenbender, Queen Janet Bewersdorff, Tom Bugas, Nancy Brooks, Phil Nelson, Debby Johnson, and Tim Tolan. 57 9ophs Come Up With Different Dance Motif As the rickety old clock struck twelve, the room exploded with color and sound. The rafters shook with the wild, haunting rhythm of the United Flight, and casually-dressed teens began to gyrate to the music amid garbage cans, dis¬ carded detergent boxes, and other rubbish. Believe it or not, this was the Soph Hop. Its unique motif, Midnight at the Dump, probably had a lot to do with the good turn-out of curious students who came to see what sort of dance the Class of ' 70 had concocted. An imaginary clock strikes midnight, but dancers still swing at the Soph Hop. The A.H.S. cafeteria rocks to the pounding beat of the United Flight, a high school group. Shown here are Gary Kaufman, Dennis LaPlante, and Terry Duoos. 58 It doesn’t take long for Mark Magnuson and Gayle Rodgers to find the grits ' n jowls stand at Service Club ' s Sadie Hawkins dance, The Great Chase. W Informal dances give teens a chance to show off their grubbies. ' Qanta Claus ' Reigns Over Ball Christmas is given a loud welcome by members of The Fire, an out-of-town band playing at the Christmas Ball. The throbbing rock music, as well as slow, soft dances of yesteryear were hard to resist, as evi¬ denced by the many teens who crowded into A.H.S. for this year ' s numerous dances. Grubby dances like Sadie Hawkins, Sock Hop, Library Club, and Soph Hop, let imaginations run free and resulted in some crazy outfits. On the more serious side were after-game dances, Senior Ball, Junior Prom, and Astoria High ' s first Christmas Ball, with an all-boy court of Santa (John Cronen) and his elves (John Kuppenbender, Ray Phares, Jeff Salo, Paul Cam¬ eron, and Monte Bellingham). 59 Varsity Rally Welcomes First Boys In 7 Years What was it like to be a member of the Varsity Rally for the 1967-68 school year? It was the tenseness of a close game that found hands clenched unconsciously and eyes following every movement of the ball, willing it to score for the Fisher¬ men. It was new uniforms and the addition of boys cheer¬ leaders. It was going through a routine before a huge crowd of friends and rivals and trying to remember each step. It was racking the brain for ideas for humorous skits. It was practice, practice, and more practice. It was the exciting mo¬ ment before the game when all faced the spotlighted flag and sang the National Anthem. And it was that happy, proud feeling when the Fishermen chalked up another win. Bill the Bush, better known as John Kuppenbender, trots to the microphone to narrate a Varsity Rally skit at the first basketball assembly.

Rally Clinic are Becky Wilson, Judi Saarheim, Annette Cameron, Head Pepster Teri Ostrom, Chris Gerritz, Debby Johnson and Debbie Berg. Seven twirling purple and gold skirts and friendly smiles marked the A.H.S. Pepsters as they danced their way through another year of Fishermen games. After winning first place at the Northwest Rally Clinic last sum¬ mer, the energetic cheerleaders swung into a busy year of foot¬ ball and basketball games, long out-of-town bus trips, selling colorful victory ribbons before games with the J.V. and Varsity Rallies, and designing signs at Spirit and Morale meetings. Hardworking cheerleader alternates, Joy Raasina (top, Varsity Rally) and Roxie Hill (Pepster), are always up on the latest routines.

U.S. Olympic Team Visits AFS Dinner Did you know that a U.S. Olympic team showed up at the American Field Service banquet? Well, maybe not the REAL team, but a high-spirited group of AFS ' Club members certainly came up with an interesting skit to raise money for next year’s foreign student. Besides the skit at the dinner honoring visiting foreign students, AFS ' ers brought the Clackamas Circus to As¬ toria to increase their fund. Other events included the annual AFS Day, which gave Fishermen a chance to talk with teens from other lands. The student committee, led by Barbie Brooks, did its best to help make this year an exciting, memorable one for Hannele Hakala from Finland and Harold Bull of Norway. Hannele’s first birthday in the U.S. was cele¬ brated at a Pep assembly with a rousing student body rendition of Happy Birthday and the presentation of a lovely corsage to Hannele. 9 Sripen Samerimit performs a graceful Thai dance at the AFS dinner. 63 Concerned Qtudents Eager to Aid Gchool And Community Dances, homework and club meetings are not the only things that concern high school students of today. They are eager to aid their school or community whenever they can. Astoria High students found opportunities this year to help, and did so willingly. They launched a Christmas Vietnam Drive, adopted thirteen year-old Donna Smith of Chattanooga, Tennes¬ see, helped beautify their school, and assisted in the making of student body cards and in many other activities. Food and money find their way into barrels set up around Astoria by A.H.S. students to help brighten our soldiers ' Christmas in Vietnam. Astoria High’s cute new adopted daughter, Donna Smith, attends Bonny Oaks School in Chattanooga, Tenn. Mike Wong, Judy Lake, Elizabeth Laird, and other students donate their time to iron plastic coverings on all the student body cards. 64 rv Playing a bass viol a! the Christmas assembly is a serious busi¬ ness for Brian Opdyke. Students found this year ' s assemblies ranging from the humorous and serious to the controversial. On the lighter side were Pep assembly skits, AFS Day, Homecoming, and the James Camerons ' pre¬ sentation of plays and stories at Thanksgiving. The more serious assemblies included Christmas, elec¬ tions, college visitations, and Clay Meyers ' visit. Adding a controversial note was the Vietnam sym¬ posium of PSC students and the Fisherman gym debate. Secretary of State Clay Meyers answers questions fired at him by curious seniors at a special assembly. Homming it up for a delighted audience at a pep assembly are cheer¬ leaders Mike Mohler, Ray Phares, Dow Timmen, Greg Adams, and Tom Moberg. Assemblies Cover Various Subjects 65 66 Gports A gome is a lot more than just the excitement one witnesses on the surface. Hours of long practice on the part of the team illustrate the players will¬ ingness to sacrifice much of their time to represent their school. Their skill and endurance are tested at each game, but a feeling of satisfaction after having played will make it all worth while. A game means something to the fans, too. The community and student body find more than good entertainment at an event; they develop a sense of unity by backing the team and enthusiastically supporting them. Every player or fan gains something from games. Sports are as much a part of school as classes or studies. 67 Young Fishermen Progress Quickly Fishermen runners this year are First Row: Andy Lockwood, Dave Wright, Wade Larson, Don Gustafson, Joe Flabetich, Todd Burns, Chris Rosendahl, Dan Savel.

Due to the loss of a few would-be returnees to the team this year, Coach George Oja’s cross country team spent a season in rebuilding. A large number of freshmen were on the team in contrast to the many experienced run¬ ners of the past. The young Fishermen expect to be strong enough next year to better this year ' s one victory over Gresham. Although they were young, the boys were a bunch of fighters who tried hard no matter what the odds. Lots of stretching loosens tight muscles. 68 A tough and talented bunch of boys made up the Junior Varsity football team—a team hard to beat. They played 8 games, winning 4, for a .500 average. The team played ex¬ cellent ball but ran into rough going when they lost to David Douglas, Hillsboro, Clackamas, and Gresham. Home games were usually wet games, but lots of drive and spirit kept the unit working well. Coaches Burns and Thornton raised one of the better J.V. teams in recent years thanks to good coaching on their parts. During a sloppy, wet half, Loren Loukkala stops for a drink.

Football Brings It was a rough and tumble season for the Fisherman grid squad this year. Led by their co-captains, Mike Springer who was injured in pre-season action, and linebacker Sam Adams, the team fought for every yard. They played each game with desire and determination com¬ piling a 3-1-5 record. The boys, under Coach Vince Dul- cich, began daily double practice last summer and held their morale high through the last game at Gresham. Although there were several individual honors awarded that we are proud of, with nine boys winning recognition in the Metro League and John Olson rating honorable mention in state, the team as a whole deserved com¬ mendations. The operation of the crew as a well-organ¬ ized working unit was the most valuable thing the boys achieved. Head grid coach for the Fishermen is Vince Dulcich (left), with Dale Evans and Jon Moberg as backfield and line coaches. 70 A fiery pep talk by Mr Dulcich was featured at the football send-off for the Milwaukee game.

Astoria, known as a basketball town, offered tremendous sup¬ port to the mighty Fishermen as they tallied win after win over their opponents. All counted, they won sixteen games while dropping only four. Seniors dominated the starting line-up, but juniors Phil Nelson, Steve Putman, Jukka Perkiomaki, and Jack Moore were welcome material to the team. Luckily, the team was not handicapped by any serious injuries, as has happened in past years. This is probably partly responsi¬ ble for the excellent performance exhibited by the squad all year. It nearly won them a berth in the state tournament. 74 75 Winning Team Has Winning Qpirit Head coach Pete Bryant (front) with Ron Ricketts led the cagers through a thrilling, successful season.

Now get out there and fight! All told, it was an exciting year, with fans yelling chants, shouting encouragement, and commenting on the referees ' decisions. Coach Pete Bryant helped mold outstanding indi¬ vidual talent by developing speed, shooting accuracy, rebounding ability, and play-mak¬ ing originality. Much of the experience the younger Fishermen gained will help them next year. They can look forward to a prom¬ ising season. Rivalry forgotten, the teams stand for a moment in respect for Old Glory 77 Astoria’s Junior Varsity team fared well in the 1967-68 basketball season. Under the leadership of juniors Dane Bandel, Mark Gustafson, Jack Riser, and Rob Roeser, and with the extensive efforts and cooperation of sophomores Harry Antoniou, Tom Knutsen, and Jeff Salo, the J.V. ' s were very successful with an 18-2 record and claimed the Metro League Junior Varsity Championship. Coach Ron Ricketts provided the necessary team in¬ struction and guided them through the fruit¬ ful year. Returning sophomores, who will provide leadership for next year’s squad, hope to uphold a tradition of extremely suc¬ cessful J.V. teams. Gustafson shoots for two points.

Paul was number one man on Astoria ' s golf team, and after doing well at the district meet, qualified for state competition. Astoria golfers attended many practices and went to many meets this year, earning a respectable rating among their competition. They finished sixth in league competition and sixth at district also. The boys learned a lot about golf that will help them in the future as golfers. The competition is always tough on the golf team and this year was no exception. From a pool of twenty-one boys, a third participated in matches. This shows the Astoria team as not a thinly supported team but one of strong backups. They expect to do as well or better next year. 80 Four year veteran Vic Horgan lines up a putt Wrestlers Gain The Finn grapplers gained valuable experience this year competing against tough Metro League opponents.

Each member of the team is dependent only upon his own ability and courage while facing an opponent, and many outstanding wrestlers from the team did well. Varsity wrestlers were Sam Adams, Buddy Altom, Craig Belt, Steve Deam, Roger Gregg, Larry Lockett, Jerry Robitsch, Doug Rogers, Mike Jones, Buzz Youngren, Don Jordan, Kyle Spain, Dan Young, Dennis Middleton, and Larry Eastman, but there were several unfilled weight divisions. The Finns did remarkably well at the Scap- poose invitational meet, placing second. The grapplers were basically a young team, but next year they hope to have many returning matmen, and more support from the student body.

Larry Simonsen pitched five of the six league wins, but better still is his 1.078 earned run average. Mike Springer, selected to play on the All-state team, compiled a .395 batting record. In spite of the loss of seven senior ball players, Coach Ross Put¬ man predicts another good year with some good pitching prospects in the lower ranks. Simonsen smacks a long ball to left field.

They battled through a six-win, eight-loss season with an inexperienced team. Their most exciting game was an overwhelming 8-2 victory over Central Catholic. Strong hitting power in all games was given by leaders Mike Benton, Tony Reynolds, and Greg Anderson. Next year, with many returnees, Astoria J.V. ' s should be much stronger. J.V.

The track season was one of frustration for many of the boys on the team. The under¬ manned squad failed to defeat a single Metro opponent. However, they did claim a victory over Seaside, and two Astoria High School records fell during the course of the season. Bob Hunts exceeded the 1967 record time in the two mile by clocking in at 10:05.2. Sam Adams broke a three-year-old high jump record with a leap of 6 ' 3 4 , while still wearing a cast from an arm injury he suffered in football. 86 At the larger end of the pear shaped, AHS track are the high jump, pole vault, and broad jump areas, framed by flowering scotchbrcom at the top of the hill. Junior Dane Bandel showed class with the shot with a last meet throw of 45 ' 9 ' 2 . Huhta also had a good mile time of 2:01.3. Jim Mott, though only a sophomore, threw the javelin 165 ' 10 .. These and other fine performances helped to give the team a sense of pride and satisfaction. With so few boys out they did extremely well. Endurance was Bob Huhtas ' s key to track success, as he broke a previous two-mile record. 87 88 Personalities School is many things, but most of all it ' s people. It’s students, teachers, counselors, skippers, and special guests. From these people each person chooses his friends, and it is important to realize that although one should accept each person for what he is, after having done this, he can either accept or reject him as a friend. Take a new look at the friends you have chosen and understand the value of their friendship and the warmth that memories of them will bring. 89 Responsible Officers Lead School With much of the responsibility of student government in their hands, Student Body officers Judy Lake, treasurer,- Molly Burget, secretary,- Tim Tolan, parliamentarian; Tom Moberg, vice-president; Russ McColiister, president; and Bruce Tolonen, chaplain, did an excellent job of lead ing the school. 90 mi torn mm Astoria High’s two foreign exchange students get together with their host families at the Quinn home.

Students Like U.S. Dear friends at A.H.S., “How do you like the United States?” is a question we have been asked many times, and we have always answered, ‘ Great! However, “great doesn’t tell how much we have enjoyed this year. We don’t th ink any language has a word which shows how much we have appreciated Astoria High, our friends and families. Probably the greatest experience of all has been getting to know so many of you. Your customs and ideas are similar to ours: still we are different. But these differences haven’t been important, and we have made many friends. We hope that these friendships will help to keep our nations friends for many years. Thank you very much for this year!

They are President Paul Cameron, Salo. Following registration day and the first confused weeks of high school life, the excitement of Homecoming 1967 descended upon the sophomores. Placing first in noise parade and first in the princess presentation began a long chain of events for the Class of ' 70 at A.H.S. At the climax of the week it was learned that the sophs had placed second in class competition. Difficult biology tests, algebra finals, and chemistry exams led up to report cards in November and January. During the first semester, books such as Lord of the Flies, 1984, and Animal Farm, made English courses far from dull. In mid-December came the Christmas Ball. Paul Cameron and Jeff Salo were chosen fo represent the sophomore class on the court. Sophomore Dave Whitney was the champion pie eater at the Games Night competition during Winter Festival. He gained this title by eating five apple pies. The Class of ' 70 was very proud of him. Spring vacation and the Soph Hop highlighted spring¬ time activities for the sophs, along with sports and studies. Although the summer was warmly welcomed, the sophs looked back upon the 1967-68 school year with con¬ trasting memories of new friends, home-work assign¬ ments, and many exciting extracurricular activities. 92 Jan Putnam finds registration forms aren ' t really so difficult, Mr. Coffeen, adviser, gives her assistance.

The theme of the dance, Midnight at the Dump, was accented with an abundance of garbage cans and colored lights. The attire was very casual, and music was provided by a local band, United Flight. The Soph Hop is an annual dance pro¬ duction sponsored by the Sophomore class. Stomping to the music of the United Flight, delighted attend¬ ants at the Soph Hop enjoy an evening of loud and lively entertainment.

What a year to remember! Let s take ' a look at the many achievements the juniors accomplished. Noted for school spirit and enthusiasm, the class made a habit of winning yell contests one after the other. For attending class meetings and sign-making parties, the juniors won the coveted Homecoming Trophy. During this big week which included the traditional Bonfire Rally, a spirited noise parade, an exciting football game and the special Homecoming dance, the Class of 1969 selected lively Princess Colleen Brown to represent them. Before we knew it, term projects and notebooks were due. There were exams to take along with Iowa Tests and the PSAT. Spring had arrived, and then Summer! Being juniors, the mighty class didn ' t take recognition for being either the oldest class or the youngest class of students going to Astoria High School, but they hold the record for being the largest class ever, with about 260 enrolled class members. 102 Faculty Members Help Behind Scenes Josephine Abing Angie Alfonse Lynn Alsbury Cathy Alto Tom Amerson Ron Angberg Lois Armstrong Randy Aspmo Dane Bandel Elaine Barker Peter Barney Dorothy Barton Jim Barton Betty Beals Craig Belt Debbie Berg Janet Bewersdorff Sandra Bidema Junior class advisers, Mr. Carlson, Miss Tolonen and Mrs. Coffeen talk over plans for the year. 103 We Won Sharon Burkhart Daniel Byrd Debby Carlson Teresa Carlson John Carter Debby Chan Industrious juniors gather wood to burn for the Homecoming Bonfire while interested spectators look on.

The senior class was ably led by Treasurer Janet Olsen, Vice-President Bob Huhta, President Mike Wong, Sergeant-at-Arms George Heiner, and Secretary Lorrie Clifford. The senior class, last to enter A.H.S. as freshmen, was determined to make high school more than merely four years of academic prog¬ ress. Enthusiastic participation in school events has made the class of ' 68 one of the most productive in A.H.S. history. Homecomings, Winter Festivals, class plays, and school dances were an exciting part of their lives. From freshmen to seniors, it was the dynamic zeal of each member of the class of 68 that made high school something to be remembered. Upon graduation the seniors again look ahead. The world may seem big and they are perhaps a little unsure. To some, graduation means a new job and career; to others, further preparation at college looms. No matter what a member of the senior class decides for the future, if he undertakes it with the enthusiasm and responsibility so typical of the class of ' 68, success is assured.
