Wayne J. Aho became a fisherman at the age of 13, and has had 60 years of fishing on the Columbia River. Many a storm has he weath¬ ered and many a story he can tell, about the mighty hauls of fish, and of harrowing exper¬ iences only another fisherman can nod to in agreement. RED SKY AT MORNING . . . 5 SAILORS TAKE WARNING SURVIVAL ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER- “On the Columbia River it makes no difference what the sky looks like. You try to predict the weather, but you can only guess. A storm could come at any time. You can’t lose your head when caught in a storm. If it’s foggy, you must use your compass. Just keep cool. That’s about all you can do.’’ -Ivar Martins 6 In mid- September, four buses filled to their capacity took 150 students to Seattle. They viewed the Treasures of King Tut.

Hall workers used their artistic abilities from 9 a.m. till 8 p.m. All in competition for homecoming points, the fin¬ ished results were judged on relation to theme, originality, creativity, continuity, use of space, and how many fuses were blown. The latter knocked out Seniors’ hopes and Junior decorators proved victorious. The Senior Hall placed a proud second nevertheless, followed by third place Sophomores and the Freshmen, who set their pace for the week. Pictured ABOVE LEFT: Mark Olson helps out in the Senior Hall.

First and third quarter action featured the awesome Sophomores against the Freshmen. Second and fourth quarters displayed the defending champion Senior team, almost holding their own against the Juniors. Excellent sports commentation by Mr. Foster colored the contest which was judged on sportsman¬ ship, participation, class spirit, and points scored. Spunky male cheerleaders in purple and gold skirts roused the Sophomores to victory. Placing second were the Juniors, followed by a fumble-burned Senior team, and the Frosh.

Everything from the Javelin to a Tug-of-War was executed. In the outcome the vigorious Senior team captured the GOLD, followed by the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen.

The plays were rated on relation to theme, originality, class participation, and introduction of princesses. The winning skit was by the Sen¬ ior Class. Seniors turned the stage into a disco scene with As¬ toria Varsity players competing in a dance contest. Of course, the Fishermen won once they cor¬ rected illegal use of hands and hustled.

Instead, a mini-parade took place around John Warren Field. The rambunctious Sen¬ ior class easily won this event, securing their overall win of Homecoming.

The final score was 33 to 9, but the Fishermen trailed only 6 to 3 at halftime. Crowd support was excellent, as the student body was still rowdy from the morning’s pep assembly, which was one of the best in Astoria history. Nonstop cheering, confetti throwing, and all around noisemaking was the scene for the better part of an hour.

Overall, Homecoming was termed a success by both students and administration who were involved. The spirit shown by everybody all week long was right in with the great Fisher¬ man tradition. Hopefully, Homecoming will continue to be a big hit for Astoria High for many years to come. 15 The Zephyrus crew, along with Skipper Mike Foster, stayed afloat through deadlines anrl nut thp • u- u Staff members include FIRST ROW: Linda Duncan.

Their efforts were directed mainly at promoting total stu¬ dent body participation in extra-curricular activi¬ ties. One such activity, was the Elderly Lunch Pro¬ gram, in which the community’s senior citizens had the opportunity to enjoy a leisurely “lunch in the company of high school students. Several ideas were presented by guest speakers who appeared through¬ out the year. The student council was also the driv¬ ing force in promoting student body participation in the Red Cross Blood Drive. Thanks to their efforts Astoria High School was able to attain a record high turnout of blood donors.

Although they did not have a winning record,—their record was 4-5—almost all the games were close and exciting. The Fishermen were not out of the hunt for a playoff spot until they were defeated by Forest Grove in midsea¬ son. As coach Parrish was quick to point out, the team kept fighting through all the adversity and never gave up. The co-captains for this years team were honor roll students, Tony Tra- bucco and Jack Marincovich.

The team was hampered by a low turnout and crippling injur¬ ies. Coach Price pointed out that many of the players were in their first year of football. They showed great improvement throughout the year. The team started out quick with two victories, first victory coming via forfeit over Sandy. The next win was over a tough Molalla squad by the score of 21-15. Then the in¬ juries set in on the club hurting them drastically. They went on to lose 6 straight, two of the losses were in overtime. A weak defense hurt the club due to players playing both offense and defense due to the low turnout.

The runners practice faithfully rain or shine. Pic¬ tured above are Tad Gotting, who’s in his third year of running, Paul Mattson, second on varsity, Mike Freeze, running his second year on varsity, and Curtis Rutherford, in his second year of run¬ ning for the team. As always it is the individual performances that keep the team powerful. Fred Sproul, right, senior this year, has been doing his best at running for the Astoria Cross Country Varsity team since his freshmen year. This year he did the team and school proud; he placed first at district and went on to place third at state. Fred has been a great asset and the team will be sorry to see him leave. Each year many of Astoria’s good and mighty run¬ ners graduate and leave but every year many new runners are replaced. There are others whose per¬ formances are a tremendous value to the team, one such as helpful is Eric Paulson, their manager, who kept accurate data on each runner. Congratulations AHS Cross Country team for a job well done! V V ! 1 A v 32 Pictured above is Shawn Schmelzer. And left is another runner on his way to success, Warren Rasgo.

The team vot¬ ed Sheryl Babbitt most valuable player, Karin Rahkola most im¬ proved, and the most inspirational was the whole team. Three year coach at Astoria High School, Karen Larson said, “It was a tough season with four starting sophomores, and only two exper¬ ienced players after Sheryl Bab¬ bitt hurt her leg and was out for the rest of the season.

This newly acquired event was enjoyed by all and proved to be a big success by providing more money for the Scholarship Trust Fund. Mr. Foster organized the dinner. Those attending were faculty members and re¬ tired teachers through out the district, various people in the community, and a number of students who served the din¬ ner which was written in French for an added touch of sophistication. Enter¬ tainment of the evening was done by students from the Drama 2 and 3 classes. They performed two skits, one was called, “As the Stomach Turns.” Members of Speech 2 and 3 classes did humorous enterpretations for audience laughter. Other classes entertaining were the Swing Choir, singing a variety of songs and the Stage Band providing music for dancing pleasure. 37 RIGHT: Responsi¬ ble for the running of the school is Mr. Clifford, Principal. As Athletic Di¬ rector, Mr. Dulcich sets up student activities and support for the various teams. A new position, beginning this year is Ad¬ ministrative Assistant, which is held by Mr. Deeder. This position covers supervising athle¬ tic activities, and dealing with school discipline. Vice-Principal, Mr. John¬ son, advises the student body through the student council.

Susie enjoys travelling and a job as an airline stewardess sounds exciting to her. After graduation she hopes to fulfill her hopes and make a living flying from town to town in those big silver birds. The academic life of college doesn’t really appeal to her at this time, even the academic life of high school seems a bore when she thinks of all the places she could be seeing. Independent study and lunch are her favorite “academic” classes at Astoria High School. Susie now resides in Alderbrook with her parents, her brother Mike (a senior), and her sister Judy (a junior). A cat named Mikki and a dog named Aba also stay at her house. She spends a lot of her spare time watching television and listening to music. Right now her big goals in life are getting that diploma from Astoria High and then getting out and seeing the world. Hopefully she’ll make good on both counts and who knows, on your next trip to Europe you may be helped by a graduate from Astoria High named Susie Abrahams.

He really enjoys getting out in the open air. For five years he has been associated with the boy scouts, and he spends a lot of his summer and many weeends building fire trails. Along with building houses with his uncle in Alaska last summer, his experiences in the outside world have been the highlights of his life. Jeff was born in Empia, Washington, but later moved to the Astoria area with his family, which includes one younger brother and one younger sister; Jay and Jenny. He attended Lewis and Clark during grade school, which he rated less enjoyable than the high school, with its looser rules. Jeff said, “ You can ' t even chew gum there without being put on detention. His future plans include working in the woods and possibly going on to college. In the mean time, Jeff will continue to take up his spare time play ing basketball and football, watching T.V., or (what else), enjoying the great outdoors.

Doug was born on July 14 1964. He has two brothers, Pat and Mike, and a black lab named King! Trapping muskrats and neutria is his favorite hobby. He likes to deer and duck hunt, with mallards and sprigs being his favorite type fo ducks. He also fishes during season, with trout and steelhead being his favorite fish. His pride and joy is owning a 7mm Ruger, which he uses on most of his hunts. He enjoys riding around his neighborhood in the Jeffers Garden area on his Honda xl-100.

She is extremely athletic, with her favorite sports being skiing, volleyball, and tennis. Pam belongs to the school ski club, plays on the volleyball team, and works on her tennis every now and then. Mem¬ bership in various school, church, and community clubs fill Pam’s leisure .tours. Attendance in Astoria Middle School and Captain Robert Gray preceded her enrollment in Astoria High, where her favorite class is Independent Study, and her favorite teacher is Mr. Stromquist. Pam enjoys being on the Student Council and is very active as a strong supportive room representative. College is her goal ' after graduation, but she hasn ' t decided, as of yet, which career she will pursue. Pam has lived here in Astoria most of her life, and thinks it’s a great place to be. She has two sisters, Julie and Lori, a Brother, Greg and a dog.

Todd often traverses the fairways with his clan, and on a good day had been known to shoot an 89. But golf isn ' t the only thing in young Todd’s life. He also enjoys skiing and hunting and played football for the Astoria squads. When he decides to sit back and watch the tube, Todd like to watch the Dallas Cowboys, and their energitic cheerleaders. Other network favor¬ ites include Mork Mindy, and Carter Country. Todd is an educated young man and talks politics with authority. Todd seems to have a knack for pressure situations, as he displayed in two different instances. The first, when he was the city champion in Punt, Pass and Kick for 12-13 year olds. The performance won him a trip to Vancouver where he was handily defeated by other city champions. The second, when he won a middle school free-throw contest and got to be a ball boy at a Blazer game. In that particular experience he casually noted that he shot-the- breeze with Dave Twardzick, Tom Owens, and Big Bill Walton (who he Todd McCallister Kevin McCauley Melanie McGregor Karen Mellot Mike Miller Teresa Mitchell Doug Morgan Annette Morrell Si mo Nauha Robert Ness Dean Nelson Darrin Nichols Eric Nyman Billie Jo O ' Bryant Molly O’Grady Cathy Oja Brenda Olson Greg Olson Jack Olson Janice Olson Julie Olson Laurina Olson Mike Olson Kristen Palo Jim Parker Lynn Parker Tami Parrish Patricia Pekkala 49 Lori Perkins Bill Peterson Connie Phillipakis Sharon Pollack Donna Pope Dawn Pope Rodney Quade Wendy Raw Matt Reinhardt Patty Reither Stacey Rich Tametha Rich Mary Riekkola Greg Ritola Mindy Riva Tawnya Robertson Matt Reinhardt claims he enjoys the leisure life, however his definition of leisure is not quite the same as yours and mine! Riding and performing stunts on his motocross bike takes up most of his “leisure” time. Nearly every day Matt practices making jumps and devising future exploits. Not only does Matt try to improve the distance of his jumps; he also increases the risk involved. One achievement to his credit is a phenominal jump through a wall of burning gasoline. His only protection while performing this death defying feat was a “face bubble” and street clothing. Matt’s interest in bike stunting grew from watching other people perform. The major reason for Matt risking life and limb is to prove to himself that he can do the stunts. Before performing a stunt Matt is in total concentra¬ tion. He adds, “I imagine what it’s like before going through with it. If I don’t like what I imagine, I won’t do it.” Usually he like what he sees.

This versatile young freshman is not only an accomplished instrumentalist, but also an avid and capable dancer. Being of serious nature, she began her illustrious dancing career at the tender age of five and has progressed steadily, through time-intensive training, to further her ability under the direction of the prestigious Seattle ' s First Chamber Dance Company. Her dancing ability includes, but is not limit¬ ed to. Folk, Classical Ballet, and several of her native Scandanavian favorites. Miss Sundstrom admitted she was slightly frightened at the thought of attending Astoria High, but seems to have adjusted more than adequately. Even with her rigorous training schedule, to maintain her dancing proficiency, she still finds time to partake in various other extracurricular activities while maintaining her honor-roll status. With this combination, Lisa appears to be heading towards a bright future. A future she hopes will include professional dancing.

SEASON’S CALL LURES FARMERS 54 iOME HITCHED, OTHERS DITCHED On a mid-November eve, the annual Sadie Hawkins dance was held at the Astoria Middle School. A dress contest, won by Laurie Coursey, was one of the many activities which took place. Thrust, a band from Portland, provided the musical entertainment. T heir music ranged from country to rock. The variation ol music satisfied the dancing tastes of most of the couples. Another highlight ol the evening was Marryin ' Sam, alias John Foges, who united loving couples in the bonds of Holy Matrimony. Many couples were “hitched up” in a gun shot wedding, while others preferred to ditch their dates and join the crowd on the dance floor. Chaperones supervising the evening ' s merrymaking were: the esteemed Judy Jordan, the honorable Dan Fay, the respected Veldon Price, the revered Vince Dulcich, and the short David Pollard.

Don then had the highlight of his year playing shortstop on the Varsity baseball team. “Baseball has got to be my most enjoyed sport,” says Don. He added that partici¬ pating in sports seems more exciting to him than just being a fan. Besides his busy sports life, Don has a part time job at “Pop ' s” restaurant to occupy his days.

Mike also enjoys playing football and basketball in his spare time. Come Spring, however, you can spot this Sophomore out practicing with the school baseball team. Mike named this sport as his favorite. In the summer, Mike spends plenty of time camping, on pic¬ nics, and swimming. Mike enjoys being in tune with nature so much that he is aspiring to be a forester after he graduates. To get the training needed for this job, Mike could either attend Clatsop Community College for three years, or train on the job, depending on the specific area of forestry he would delve into. Clatsop County would be the ideal locale for Mike to work in, because he says he likes everything about As- £ toria—even the weather.

Although she enjoyed all four events, her favorite was Floor Exercise because it com¬ bined her tumbling and dance talents. Sta- cee’s enthusiasm for dance changed her fo¬ cus in activities. She studied ballet, tap, and jazz movement. Members of Seattle’s First Chamber Dance Company noticed Stacee ' s ability during an audition class and she was accepted to study in their summer dance workshop. She likes dancing very much, as well as music. At school, Stacee sings with the A Capella Choir.

He plans to work in an occupation shared by some of the best known people in history. Greg would like to become a chemist or physicist, which means someday he could be in the ranks with Louis Pasteur and Madame Curie or Galileo and Albert Einstein. But Greg’s interests are not limit¬ ed to science only, he enjoys tales of fantasy and excitement. Perhaps he inherited his delight of fan¬ tasies from his Lithuainian forebearers (Lith- uainia, an annex of Russia, is known for its many folktales). Among some of his favorite books are The Earth Sea Trilogy, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Lord Of The Rings. At first, his two interests seem quite diversified, when in fact they do contain some common ground. Throughout many fanta¬ sies, Scientists, or wizards as they ' re called, play major roles in the stories. They use their knowledge of chemistry and physics to concoct various potions and create stunning illusions. Were Greg to live in one of the lands of fantasy, he would surely be a wizard himself. Instead of getting an education from OIT, Greg would no doubt be an apprentice for such a sorcerer as Merlin. It’s a shame that Greg doesn ' t live in a world of Fantasy-OIT doesn ' t have a school of sorcery.

Among the awed viewers of this phenomena of nature were science and photography students straight from the hal¬ lowed halls of Astoria High. Zephyrus asked a couple of the natural wonder witnesses what they thought of the eclipse and received some varied responses. Lenaord Stevens put it bluntly when he said, “It was a lot neater than anything I ever saw in books.” Scott Holmstead presented a more in-depth view when he commented, “By viewing the solar eclipse 1979, my awareness of man ' s relationship to the universe was enlight¬ ened and twisted so that I no longer believe that man’s existence is the sole purpose to all cre¬ ation.” But Stuart Wong summed it up best for us hopeless suckers who didn ' t quite make it to Pasco, when he said simply, “You had to be there.” Chill airs and wintry winds!

Outside of league play, the Fishermen struggled with a 1-6 mark, including a narrow (cont.) 72 mms £ b m mw defeat at the hands of Molalla in the league playoffs in Portland. New head coach Mike Goin changed the pace of Fisherman basket¬ ball this year, as he went to a fast-break style of play. This change resulted in some high scoring affairs, which kept the fans on the edge of their seats. The highest scoring out¬ put this year was the 91 points rolled up against Kelso in the pre-season.

Another source of ad¬ versity that definitely hindered the overall team performance was the low turnout of able- bodies. So low, in fact, that only one senior graced the ros¬ ter, that senior being none oth¬ er than stalwart Les Freemen. Les had an outstanding sea¬ son, consumated by taking fourth at the district tourney in Forest Grove. Junior Mike Donovan also rounded out a successful year by placing third in his division. Unfortu¬ nately, soph Brian Engbretsen was stricken with a bad case of mono and couldn ' t attend the district meet, but he ' ll get an¬ other crack at it next year.

They were very dedicated and always gave the grapplers confidence in their endeavors. Both these rallies could be found every Wednesday at Spirit Morale using their creative talents to decorate the halls with spirit generating posters. First time in Astoria High School history: the enthusiastic Freshmen Rally led their class to a victory winning the spirit stick at a pep assembly. 91 92 On December 27, 1978, Mr. and Mrs. Connolly, ten Thespians and alums arrived in New York City, where they and other members of the Int. Thespian Society spent Christmas Vacation. During their stay they toured the Metropolitan Museum, Opera House, Lincoln Center , the World Trade Center, the Empire State Building, and the United Nations. At the United Nations, they saw stage sets being made for the UNICEF special that featured the Bee Gee’s, Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton-John. Two highlights of the trip were seeing Robin Williams (Mork) perform in a night club and touring the ABC studio, where they observed the makeup and costume departments of “All My Chil¬ dren. They were fortunate enough to see five Broadway shows, including “A Chorus Line and “On The Tu ' cntieth Century.

BUTTER¬ FIELD The 1979 winter play The Curious Savage was directed by Mrs. Con¬ nolly. The comedy questioned the sanity of people inside a mental insti¬ tution compared with the people out¬ side. These lines often rung through the institution when Mrs, Paddy became ag¬ gravated. I hate everything in the world but most of all I hate revolving doors, cuspidors, fights, fuzz, fleas, bumble bees, prickly heat, bats, gnats, pills, pots, pans, butts, bladders, w ' orms, germs, pachyderms, and politicians. The set recreating the early 1960’s decore was designed by Tod Butterfield. This play, rich with satire, made a fun-filled evening for the whole family. in 2B ; ' S j 7 ji i an iM •,x� i ai£%ysr l l P _ vSiVfc , .

While many people collect stamps, coins or other items of monetary value, Ann collects items of senti¬ mental value. She collects pigs. Not ordinary, run-of-the-mill pigs, either. Ann collects pigs from all over the world. Of her thirty pigs, a few have originated from France, Italy, Canada and Sweden. Ann doesn ' t really have a reasonable explanation of her fondness for pigs. Perhaps it ' s because they meet the needs of another one of her hobbies drawing by being interesting subjects. Her cousin is also a collector ol swine, and surely he must have influenced her some. A pig from Canada was given her when she was five years of age; this was just the start of her fascinating hobby. Since the arrival of her first pig. her bed¬ room has become a shrine honoring pighood throughout the world. Grinning pig posters and squealing pig calendars engulf the walls ol the refuge. As proof of her love for pigs, she has virtually given up the act of eating bacon. She claims she ' ll only eat it to be polite. Seeing thirty pigs within the Hautala household, one might wonder if Ann were the sorceress C irce. But alas, the pigs in her home are neither transformed men or living, breathing animals at all. Her pigs come in the form of banks, ceramic statues, music boxes, magnets, necklaces, a marionette and a hot water bottle. By the way, the Hautalas do own some real pigs, but that ' s another story.

I Seventeen year old Julie McCall spent the winter sports season of her Junior year fol¬ lowing the basketball teams as a statistician. Julie knows the cage game well; even all the referee signals and players’ numbers. It was her job to at¬ tend all games and record shots, rebounds, and assists made by the J. V. and Varsity members. She even rode the team bus to all away games, and experience that gave her many exciting memories. Her role in tough situations was to boost team morale, Julie found. Basketball is not only sport Miss McCall enjoys. She plays tennis, snow skis, and likes to dance. Her interest in athletics makes her feel that she should pursue a related ca¬ reer. She likes the idea of teaching Physical Education.

Although the name Smith is rather uncom¬ mon, there are four other mem¬ bers of Ron’s immediate family who also have or had, claim to the title at one time or another. They include: his parents. Chuck and Marge, his brother Dan, and his sister Diana Kay. Much has been written over the years about the last child being spoiled and not being able to cope in the real world; Ron has defied this theory by developing into a mature young man. He has many interests in¬ cluding back-packing, hunting, scuba diving, and reading. Ron also loves to listen to music on his stereo. His favorite groups are The Who, Pink Floyd, BOC, and Van Halen. Ron does well with his present student teacher rapport. He feels teachers should make a supreme effort to improve com¬ munications with their students. Added communictions could bring out more of the students skills and talents. Jerry Schofield Bret Scott Ron Smith Margie Sodervick k.

SWIM TEAM STROKES TO DISTRICTS After three years of unsuccessful attempts, Astoria High has finally succeeded in obtain¬ ing a swim team. Mr. Foges became the team coach and inspired 19 students to sign up. Practices were held from 6 to 7:30 a.m. each school day until the season was completed. Mr. Foges was extremely pleased with the swimmers and felt that the team came back successful from districts. The girls placed eighth of twelve teams competing in districts; the boys placed eighth of eleven. Team cap¬ tains were Pam Rich for girls and Derek Gas¬ coigne for the boys team. Each of the other teams at districts have been in competition for at least five years. In games prior to dis¬ tricts the boys had 2 wins and 7 losses while the girls received a 2-8 record. At the team awards banquet, the girls squad voted Karen Boelling as Most Inspirational and Melinda Miller was Most Valuable Swimmer. The boys had continuous ties when deciding upon the Most Inspirational Swim¬ mer, as a result, the team decided not to present the award. Most Valuable Swimmer was Derek Gascoigne.

Some toured New York City (see pages 92-93) while others stayed in the Northwest and visited Ashland. In Ash¬ land, the club members delighted in seeing several Shakespearian plays, including Macbeth. Thespians also competed in Sa¬ lem at a state-wide Thespian Conference. Funds for the activities were acquired by playing make-up artists to Halloween trick-or-treaters and sponsoring many baked food sales.

The Astoria chapter of American Field Service had a very productive year. Going away for two months last summer were Seniors Mandy Street and Susan Edison. Mandy made a trek to Brazil while Sue journeyed to Israel. Early in this school year, Junior Terri Leigh packed her bags and took off for Tazmania, Australia. And, of course, we can’t forget AHS’s new addition, Chilean student Jorge Crothers. Jorge is a Sen¬ ior living with Junior Greg Backlin and his fam¬ ily. The latest event to take place is the news that Senior Joan Collins has been accepted to make a trip aborad, but as of yet, she hasn’t received her assignment. AFS held a couple of get-togethers—the annual fall Oktoberfest, and in February, Friendship Days. AFS participants from Washington and surrounding areas came to give speeches at the Friendship Days banquet. Sue Edison, Jorge Crothers, and Mandy Street also gave presentations. The theme of the ban¬ quet was “Pasar el Sombrero” (“Pass the Flat”) and was held for the principle reason of collect¬ ing funds to enable future AFS participants to make their desired trips. At the end of the even¬ ing, “el sombrero” was filled to the brim with approximately $1500, marking the successful completion of another project.

The program was split into two leagues with the winner of each league to meet in championship. After battling through 7 weeks of play, Pete Gimre and Sheryl Babbitt’s teams rose to the top of the pack. The odds were set and all final bets were cast for the famed AHS V-Ball Championship a best of three se¬ ries. In the first game it went to the wire with Sheryl nipping Pete’s team 15-12. In the second game Gimre’s team stormed out to an easy 15-8 victory. The stage was set for the third and final game.

He was hired to assist eighteen high school junior and senior men in building this years house. For the first time, the house is being built on location as opposed to the high school parking lot. The school board gave Mr. Lukoszyk two and one half years to complete the project. Before “Luke” came to the high school he ran E L Construction Company. According to Luke the house will be valued at 60,000 dollars upon com¬ pletion. The house is located on the corner of 10th and Irving. The home, containing 1,483 square feet and standing three stores tall, will have three bedrooms, two baths, and an open beam living room. The family room is on the second floor and a patio faces north with a double car garage in the basement. Mr. Lukoszyk said “There is a very unique feature in this hbme, it will contain both an oil and wood burning heating system,” The home economics class, aiding in design, will select all the color tones for the bedrooms, baths, and kitchen. The landscape class will landscape the yard area. Mr. Eldon Korpela, an avid fisher¬ man, who has traveled to Alaska for the past twenty years to spend his summers fishing, is the advisor of the fish hatchery. The hatchery, which has been functioning for the ;, is operated by twelve students and past five years one assistant, Don Swanson. Mr. Korpela said “There was an excellent return this year but the state wouldn’t let the hatchery keep any. Never¬ theless the gillnetters, very successful in the Youngs Bay River area, rewarded the hatchery with twenty 25.00 dollar checks to help with the funding of this years’ project.” The hatchery is raising forty-nine thou’sand Fall Chinooks and five thousand Rainbow Trout. The class has vis¬ ited several hatcheries this year which include: Big Creek Hatchery, Vandervelt pond, Warren- ton High School Hatchery, and Ilwaco High Chi- nook Hatchery. Before the year comes to a close | they hope to visit Mt. Hood Community College, ) Newport, and Springfield. 142 A true success three years ago, the Bong Show performed before a jammed house proving its strength and vitality as an important function of our school.

The new senior members include Tod Butterfield, John Goodenberger, Tracy Janssen, Ted Leong, Kathy Mestrich, Kris Nyman, Denise Sharp, Tony Trabucco, and Stuart Wong. The new junior members are Denise Alborn, Todd Biddle, Cindy Kelley, Roberta Larson, and Jenny Stoltz. The above initiates met the stringent entrance requirements. They maintain in accumulative GPA of 3.2 or above and excelled in their work for eiter the Astor Post or the Zephyrus. Tuesday, May 22, the tra¬ ditional Quill and Scroll picnic was held at Coffenbury Lake. Both new and old members attended the pic¬ nic. After “munching out” on deli¬ cious grub, the Astor Post Staff did battle with the Zephyrus staff in a Volleyball match. The AP squad, of course, easily defeated the Young Yearbook staff 15-6, 11-15 and 15-8. 145 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Current National Honor Society members voted down a proposed constitution change which would have lowered the admission requirements from 3.25 to 3.00 (GPA). They felt that this reduction in standards, coupled with increasingly inflated grades, would result in a lower quality inductee. Initiation was held this year in the auditorium, as opposed to the cafeteria, with Mr. Donald Morden as guest speaker.
