v DEDICATION 3 g We, the students of Canby Union High School, dedicate the 1940 Cougar to Christopher Columbus to whom we are indebted for the motto Sail On . This motto has piloted the good ship Cougar successfully through another school year with leadership, citizenship and scholar- shfp as our guiding stars. Columbus sailed out upon uncharted waters and ln face of t ld d un o angers pushed ever on- ward toward his goal. The career of each student may be symbolized by the voyage of Columbus -dangers lurking in the unknown future and opposition on every hand. It is only by steadfastly following this courageous motto that he can achieve success whether his goal be known or un- known. Commencement represents only his departure from the home harbor. With the courageous spirit displayed by the crew of the good ship Cougar, there is llttle doubt that the value of this motto which piloted the three small shlps through the treacherous deep centuries ago ls as great today as it was then.

Q1 wfdviff The School Board of lHHONIHGHSCHOOLDEWlW11 Clackamas County, Canby, Oregon OURSCHOOL BY Professor Gabriel Our Union High School district is made up of 17 Elementary districts and comprises an area of more than 100 square miles. There are 32115 acres in the school grounds. The building site and spacious lawn occupy about six acres, another equal amount is used for athletic facilities, and the remainder is used as an experimental farm by the agricultural department. The beautifully kept grounds are the pride of the whole community. The district had its origin in 1922 when 12 of the present mem- bers united to form a Union High School district. Due to a techni- cality the union was prevented at that time, but in 1923 six districts did unite to form the nucleus of the present district. No school was established, but tuition was provided at convenient high schools. In 1925 a site was selected and an election called to vote bonds for the erection of a building. The vote on the bond issue was defeated and it was the next year before any further action was taken. In 1926 three more districts voted to join the High School district. A new site, the present one, was selected and an election to authorize the issuing of 882,500 in bonds was carried by a large majority. The construction of a new building was begun ln the spring of 1927. The Union High School, under an agreement with the Canby School directors, took over the operation of the Canby High School and until the new building was completed, continued to conduct the school in the upper rooms of the Canby Grade School building. The new plant was occupied in January of 1928, The enrollment at that time was less than half of that at present. The operation of free buses in the adjacent territory soon unified the area and the enrollment continued to increase each year. In 1939 the District was increased to its present size by the addition of 8 more districts and making a total valuation of more than 2,500,000 dollars. The bonded indebtedness has been steadily amortized and will be retired in 1947. Taxes have been materially reduced and the financial condition and educational facilities of Union High School district No. 1 are unexcelled.
