Arrival In 1792, Captain Robert Gray, an American, became the first white man to enter the Columbia River. His ship, the Columbia, is shown at left, as sketched by a crew-member. Soon after his voyage, two fur companies, the North West Company of Canada and the Hudson s Bay Company of Britain, moved into the area and began competing for supremacy. After their merger in 1821, a new dispute arose between the Americans and the British for ownership of the land between the Columbia and the 49th parallel. To strengthen Britain's claims to this land, the Hudson's Bay Company decided to move its headquarters from Fort George (Astoria) to a site further inland and north of the river. The site chosen was on a bluff overlooking the river, where the State School for the Deaf now stands. Governor Simpson of the HBC christened the fort. His account of the event was found in his journal. At sun rise mustered all the people to hoist the Flag staff of the new Establishment and in the presence of the Gentle- men, Servants, Chiefs Indians I baptized it by breaking a Bottle of Rum on the Flag Staff and repeating the following words in a loud voice, 'In behalf of the Honble Hudson s Bay Coy I hereby name this Establishment Fort Vancouver. God save King George the 4th’ with three cheers. Gave a couple of Drams it after that distinguished navigator is to identify our claim to the Soil and Trade with his discovery of the River and Coast on behalf of Gt. Britain.” But the brave new fort soon proved unsatisfactory, and a new one had to be built. This one was located one mile west and nearer to the river. Also called Fort Vancouver, the new fort took root and grew.

Representative Jeanne Hathaway Representative Jackie Wilson The Class of ‘‘66 ventured into Hudson’s Bay early in September and stumbled about learning the ways and means of the school. With the guidance of Mrs. Richards and Mr. Generaux, they set out to prove that they were deserving of recognition. October was election month for this new class. They chose the best of their class to lead them through their first year. Terry Clark was elected president; Frank Quitoqua, vice-president; Nancy Arisman, sec- retary; Tim Alexander, treasurer; Jeanne Hathaway and Jackie Wilson, representatives. The energetic class picked up steam as they accepted the respon- sibility 'of campus clean-up and began plans for their as$embly. At the end of the year they found they had accumulated a tidy sum of money through candy sales, concessions, and contest winnings. As the year draws to a close, we realize that we have achieved success through all our efforts, and through all our activities. We are- looking forward to a promising Junior Year, says President Terry Clark. Vice-President, Frank Quitcquo Counselors Mrs. Richards, Mr. Don Generaux Mrs. Virginia Richards leads the path for the youngest but largest of our classes: the sophomores. In addition to her counseling, she teaches two clas- ses in Contemporary World Problems. Mr. Generaux traded in his cap as head base- ball coach for a position as Sophomore Class Coun- selor. According to him, counseling is great. In his spare time he teaches classes in wood shop, audio visual aids, and stage crew. Activilics-Coordinator Carol While 61
