Dedication O Mr. D. D. Hackleman, our honored friend, in grateful appreciation of his untir- ing efforts in the ufvbuilding and adfvanring of Albany High School, and of his unfailing inter- est in all student activities, we the Staff of The 1925 Whirlwind do dedicate this Annual as a token of our esteem. 444 It may be of interest to the students and friends of A. H. S. to know that Mr. Hackleman has lived his en- tire life in Albany, his birthplace being the old donation land claim home which stood on the present site of the Albany High School. Mr. Hackleman was born June 6, 1860. His early life was spent much the same as that of all sons of pioneer cattlemen, many months of each year being spent on the old Santiam trail fbuilt by his fatherj across the Cascades over which the large herds of cattle were driven from Central Oregon to the valley and back. It may be difficult for some people to realize that our staid and dignified school clerk led the free and independent life of the early settler and that he was noted for his marks- manship and ability as a hunter. Mr. Hackleman re- ceived his early education in the first public school in this locality and later was a studenty at Albany College. He was for many years a member of the school board and has served as clerk since 1916.
