The program committee appointed by the president was as follows: Edith Murray, Rose Bartell, Edgar Easter, Harold Lemmon, and Keith Murphy. The student body has supported de- bate, athletics, dramatics, and all the school activities during the year, and it is with a feeling of regret that we see it come to a close, but with a feeling of pride knowing it has been so successful.

Being freshmen we were confused but, however, that did not keep us from electing our class officers. At the class meeting, Miss Benthien was elected our class advisor, and the officers elected were Peter Hanson, presidentg Martha Norman, vice-presidentg Lula Scott, secretary, and Jesse Myers, treasurer. Our class was represented in many high school activities. Peter Hanson and Jesse Myers were on the baseball team. Jesse Myers took a leading part in the Senior play, while Delbert lrvin took part in the Junior play. CHAPTER II ln the fall of l923, twenty members returned to O. H. S. Later on two left, leaving only eighteen members. We elected for our class officers, Erma Hunger, presi- dent, Claire Beckwith, vice-president, Viola Hadley, secretary, Martha Norman, treas- urer. Mr. Roe was chosen class advisor. Our class was well represented in activities this year. Erma Hunger was secretary, Jejsse Myers, treasurer, Delbert Irvin, yell leader, of the associated student body. Owen Williams played forward, and Jesse Myers was sub on the basketball team. Virginia Wieland and Erma Hunger were subs on the girls, basketball team. A very successful initiation ceremony was staged for the. benefit of the Freshmen. CHAPTER III Qnly seventeen Juniors entered in the fall of l924. Ar the first class meeting we elected Jesse Myers, presidentg Martha Norman, vice- presiclentg Mary Damitio, secretary, Delbert Irvin, treasurerg Owen Williams, board of control: and Miss Carroll as class advisor. ln the early part of the year we gave the annual Junior carnival and in the spring our class play, Stop, Thief! and the annual Junior-Senior banquet.

Do you.realize that it is just twenty years ago since we were all Seniors together in Cakville high school? It hardly seems possible that it is that long since the class of 26 held their commencement exercises. We just arrived in town this afternoon, so I thought I would take this opportunity to let you know I will be over to see you soon. As we came through Vader last night I noticed a large crowd at the station plat- form. It was a group of the town,s business men electionering for Nelson Cheney, presi- dent of the Vader bank. They are running him for governor. l always knew Nelson was 'made of good stuff. Whenhwe arrived in town, Lucille Wood and her husband were at the station. I will not take time to tell you his name as he is unknown to you and ends in Uiskif' She was driving a Marmon Six sport model car instead of a Chevrolet. She asked us to go for a ride and we didn't need a second invitation. Toot, toot, we went down the street and as we turned the corner, Delbert lrvin dashed by with his Chrysler sedan. You know he owns the Chrysler garage on Main street now, and has George Easter and Edward Korbut as his mechanics, but I hear they are soon to go into business by themselves in China. Delbert was being followed by Noel Bain on a bicycle. Fab, is the city dog catcher and speed cop now. Lucille stepped on the gas and we followed them. At the corner where the Methodist church stands we ran into the midst of a wedding party that was crossing the street. Jesse Myers, the bridegroom, had been knocked down, but his bride, Nlargaret Tawney, seemed unhurt. The bridesmaids were still running and Roland McClintick was licking up the remains from a broken bottle in the gutter. Lucille just told me that Ted Brown was arrested for disturbing the peace in town. They are discussing the case in court now. It is thought they are going to send him to Siberia to work out his time on the landscape. Viola is judge and Cleda is lawyer for the defense so hard telling what the verdict will be. This, however, is to be their last case as they are going to retire from business and join their husbands in Florida. Marthex, a wealthy widow, has a beautiful home in Seattle. But she is planning on going to Florida to visit Viola as soon as she settles down. Martha always spends part of her vacation each year here at her home in Oakville. Elve and Ruth are as good friends as ever, but Ruth lives at Rochester and Elve at Garrad creek. But Elve and family motor up to visit her quite often in a brand new Ford roadster. Claire and family are farming on a large scale. They own several sheep, two cows, three chickens, thirteen guiena pigs and one duck. I got a long letter from Mrs. Brazel yesterday. Her husband and Miss Bones, husband own and control the entire Malone mill and are planning on putting up several new mills along the coast. Well, Helen, l must closeg I will expect to meet you tomorrow at three. Sincerely, EDITH. P. S. CTO whom it may concernj: I wish to state that Helen is a graduate of the Pullman State College and has been teaching music at the U. of W. for several years. But resigned last June on the lirst, and was married the second. As for Edith, I might say she is as short as ever, but she married a man tall enough to make up for the deficiency. -E. M., 26. Fifteen Qllaz-is ill We, the Senior class of 1926 of Oakville Union High School, being sound in body and mind and about to pass out of this sphere of education, with almost superhuman knowledge, realize the mighty problem and difficulties that our underclassmen and faculty are going to have to forbear.

CLEDA EREKSON, EDITH MURRAY, VIOLA HADLEY. Zihitnrizil We, the Tillicum staff, offer this edition of the high school annual as an apprecia- tion of the knowledge and benefit of our high school, not only in the present but what it will mean in the future, as well. We have tried to bring out all phases of our school life, those that hold interest and value to our school, our alumni, and to our friends, that they may cherish it in the years to come as a momento of this school year. We realize we have made mistakes, but we ask that you judge us not by our technical qualities but by the spirit in which we offer this, our tenth edition of the Tillicum. l take this opportunity to thank the faculty, student body, and the business men of Oakville for their cooperation and loyal support they have given us. Much credit is due our annual staff, and to our class advisor, Miss Bones, who have labored tirelessly and who have sacrificed school time to make this book what it is. -Eoiroa, '27. Seventeen 2.

We were well represented in all school activities. In basketball by Burton Nliller, Glenn Barrick, Lauretta Cook, Ellen Wvilliams, and Rose Bartell: in baseball by Glenn and Burton, and in debate by Rose Bartell, Eric Bjorkgren and Sylvan Ely. Early in the year we gave the annual Junior carnival which was a decided success. and in the spring our class play, The Adventures of Grandpa. Wie also gave several candy sales and a little later in the year the annual Junior-Senior banquet. Much credit for our successful year is due our able and willing class advisor, Miss Bones.

Bye, Ciuniur srrnitml Once in the dear dead days beyond recall a Junior class established a custom. Whether it was known to them at the time that they were establishing it or not we are not able to tell, but the fact remains that they did establish it and it is still with us. Even as in more remote days than those just mentioned, a maid once smiled at a man, so it has seemed to be the custom ever since for beautiful maidens to smile at hand- some men, even though shly at first, but as developments proceed-However, that is another story. So, though possibly shyly at first, the Juniors started on the plans and preparations for the first Junior carnival. This was originated and patented by the class of '23, and such names as Florence Comfort and Merril Irvin are written .on the first pages of car- nival history. To your own fancy you filled in the details of the story of the smiles of the man and the maid, but let me help you with the story of the progress of the carnivals. The class of '23 started it, you see, with the smile. The class of '24 introduced the program. The one of '25 decided on a play. Their first move being The Man With the Bowler Hatgu maybe he tipped it and maybe he didnit, anyway some one got excited and the cat wouldn't stand, so that is where they made their money. The 'Z6ers tried the uPeace- makersfi while beauties and boxing netted them good cash. Now, you are trying to re- member what we, the class of '27, did in helping along the story since so much has hap- pened after the smile. Several days before the date set for the last carnival, whispers were heard in the assembly room of 'iWho did you vote for for queen?', ul'm voting for Cleda, the Senior, of course. Well, lim not, l'm voting for l-lelen, our Junior princess. She will make the best onef' Why not Lila, the Sophomore? U Aw, you arenit a good Freshman if you don't vote for Audreyf, Finally these whispers grew louder. Votes came in faster, first one would take the lead, and then the other. But what of the carnival itself? After the main show on the carnival night, the gales were opened to the concessions arranged around the gymnasium. Committees had vied with one another to see who could produce the most attractive booth. All vendors were at work crying their wares and all were busy selling. Demure little maids in pink and white aprons served you in the cafe where you were allowed to eat ice cream and cake and sip your cider or dance at leisure. mfhree shots at Sam in the other end of the hall and the attractive gypsies who told your fortune if you crossed their palm with silver, all no less busy than the hot doggie biscuits or the fish pond, which was so willingly donated by our loyal business men of Oakville. Even beauty ventured forth in bright and blushingly colored cheeks and young men wisely stroked their upper lips, proud of what the beauty parlors had given them in exchange for their fifteen cents. What was happening to the votes for the queen of the carnival during all this time? 'lihey were increasing two fold, yea, three fold, and more. The race seemed to be left now between the Juniors and Seniors. The side shows and booths began to lose trade. Excitement grew and grew. Even brothers and sisters took issue on the subject, for Cozette deserted the Sophomores and auctioned votes for Seniors, while Sylvan worked true to color for the Juniors. By frves, tens, and even more the votes advanced. Now cheers for Cleda, now for Helen. Will the Juniors lose their two-year record and on the charm numeral let the Seniore have it?

In all of these departments the school is well equipped For the Classical and English courses there is the library which is well supplied with books for reference and general reading There are now some seven hundred and fifty books on the library shelves and this number is being added to yearly. Of the courses offered, Eng- lish, History, and Language are the most stressed. In the Science department there is a well stocked laboratory which is sufficient to conduct classes in physics, chemistry, botany, biology, and general science. The equip- ment is gradually being added to year, 35150 in new equipment being purchased this year. The Commercial department is well equipped with adding machines, typewriters, bookkeeping tables, etc. Courses in typing, stenography, and bookkeeping are offered. Early in the school year a glass partition was placed between the typing and bookkeeping rooms with a door connecting, which has added greatly to the efficiency of the depart- ment, as it enables the teacher to conduct two classes at one time. The Manual Arts department is giving the boys valuable instruction in woodwork and the proper handling and care of tools. Emphasis is placed upon the proper joining, dressing and finishing of the work in varnish, shellac or enamel. Some very excellent pieces have been turned .out this year, among which are cedar chests, oak tables, taborets, foot stools, flower trays, tea wagons, piano benches, and dressers. In the Home Economics department courses are offered in both sewing and cooking. The girls are taught to plan and make their own dresses and are given instruction in diete- tics and food values as well as the proper preparation of foods. It is planned to have on display during commencement week the products of both Manual Training and Home Economics departments. The office has had an addition this year of a new eight-foot oak table which was made by the boys in the manual training department. This greatly improves the appear- ance of the office and serves as a convenient place for board meetings. A new looseleaf system for the keeping of student rcords has been installed. test periods enables the keeping of a more detailed record of the students' work. The installation of a Hansen automatic program clock has greatly facilitated the movement of classes as well as adding to the appearance of the office. This with the six-week -C.. W. MURPHY. 'twenty'-four 12:4 Qlflehatn Debate was one of the major interscholastic activities of the high school this year. We have had a very profitable and successful season, having won two debates and secured a total of seven votes out of a possible twelve, which tied us with several other schools for fourth place in the league. There are 26 high schools in the Southwest Washington league. A regular class composed of the six debaters met the seventh period each day until the close of the debate season .on February twelfth, with lVlrs. Ruth Brazel, our coach. During the year four league debates and two practice debates were held. We were fortunate in having three of last year's debaters in the class again, Rose Bartell, Claire Beckwith, and Delbert Irvin. Rose Bartell and Claire Beckwith each received a letter in debate last year. The members of the debate class this year were Rose Bartell, Claire Beckwith, Cleda Erekson, Eric Bjorkgren, Sylvan Ely, and Delbert lrvin. The members of the debate class have shown a great interest in the work and the competition for a place on the team was keen. A tryout of speeches, with members of the faculty acting as judges, was held before each debate. The question for debate this year was: Resolved, That the constitution of the United States should be so amended as to impower congress to restrain, regular, and prohibit the labor of persons under fifteen years of age.', OAKVILLE vs ELMA The first league debate was held at Oakville on November thirteenth, with Oakville upholding the affirmative side of the question. The Oakville team was victorious by an unanimous decision of the three judges. The students who debated were Cleda Erekson, Claire Beckwith, and Rose Bartell. OAKVILLE vs Mossr Rock On December eleventh, the Oakville debaters journeyed to Mossy Rock where they upheld the negative side .of the question. Mossy Rock won the decision by securing two votes out of three. The students who debated were Cleda Erekson, Clair Beckwith, and Rose Bartell. OAKVILLE vs TENINO On January eighth the third league debate was held at Oakville. This debate was a close contest. Tenino upheld the affirmative and won the decision by securing two votes out of three. The students who debated were Eric Bjorkgren, Cleda Erekson, and Rose Bartell Twenty-tive OAKVILLE vs WINLOCK On l ebruary eleventh the last debate was held at Winlock. 'lihe Winlock team had not been defeated for two years until Oakville won the decision in this debate by securing two votes out of three. Oakville upheld the affirmative. The students who de- bated were Eric Bjorkgren, Cleda Erekson, and Rose Bartell. Two PRACTICE DEBATES ln November a practice debate with Centralia, and on February second a practice debate was held at Montesano. The debaters derived much benefit and experience from these debates. The students who received letters this year are Rose Bartell, Cleda Erekson, Claire Beckwith, and Eric Bjorkgren. Much credit is due to the excellent coaching and tireless efforts of Mrs. Brazel, our coach. , Qlluhra AMICITIA CLUB The Amicitia club is composed of all girls and lady teachers of the O. H. S. This year makes the third year it has been organized at Oakville and it has been very successful. Early in the year a meeting was held at which the following officers were elected: President, Viola Hadleyg vice-president, Lauretta Cook, secretary, Naomia Austin, and treasurer, Martha Norman. Miss Bestler was chosen as advisor. Before Christmas a party was given and was pronounced a success. As usual the class having the highest scolarship will have their numeral engraved on the Amicitia cup in the assembly hall. -M. R. B., 27. -V. H. DRAMATIC CLUB 'lihe Dramatic club was organized late in the fall of '25. Charter members were chosen and the following officers were elected: President, Viola Hadleyg vice-president, Cozette Ely, secretary and treasurer, ,lasse lVlyers. After this meeting the constitution and by-laws were written and the club named the Cardinal Mask club, and an initiation ceremony planned for the new candidates. The purpose of this club is to establish universal good-will throughout the school, and to further the interest of dramatics. The charter members are Viola Hadley, Jesse Myres, Cozette Ely, Cleda Erekson, George Easter, Blanche fisher, Nelson Cheney, Delbert lrvin, Eric Bjokgren, and Sylvan Ely. Miss Eula Bones was chosen for club advisor. -V. M. l-l., '26. PI-IILOLOGIAN SOCIETY The Philolgian society is strictly a debate club. It was first organized in 1924 and has done much since. Early in the year hot dogl' sales were given for the debate fund. The club will buy pins for the members. Ar a meeting early in September the following officers were chosen: President, Cleda Ereksong secretary, Rose Bartell, and treasurer, Eric Bjorkgren. Mrs. Brazel the debate coach, is our advisor. -M.

Wray was our leader. Several girls were present at the county 4-H club meet- ing held at Montesano. At this meeting Ellen Williams was elected vice-president of the county 4-H. At the beginning of the year Ethel Gibson was presented wtih a 325.00 prize from the East End club. The money was a reward for project work in the egg-laying Contest, -E. W., 'Z 7. Tu enty-six ja AV - ' Ai-tx xiii e S 5 ' ri xx ki s A, I st'-Z11 5 5 A if .l 4 rzrmatira No high school activity is complete without its department of dramatics. In this respect one might truthfully say that Gakville high has participated well. The drama has attracted many who have had ambitions along that line, and has developed some very good latent talent. Not only has experience in the various comedies which have been given, helped to mould the individual, but has afforded him pleasure and pasttime in an activity which broadens one's intellectuality and enlarges oneis insight into human nature. The true drama is a very fitting medium of expression for all. To forget one,s 'own Uegon and enter into the personality of another character, experiencing the joys and sorrows as intensely as that individual would, is the work of a master imagination and personality. While we, in the high school, cannot climb to that pinnacle of success, yet we can admirably Ucarry on to that goal, and from every failure, perhaps, appreciate more fully the hand of genius in our own professional productions. On December 4, 1925, the Senior class assisted by the entire high school, staged an eight-act vaudeville before one of the largest and most appreciative audiences ever assembled in the auditorium of the Oakville Union High School. This was the first entertainment of this kind to be presented this season as well as the first vaudeville to be given by the high school. lt proved a great success. The vaudeville consisted of the following acts: ACT I Nonsensical Nonsense -Coached by Mr. l-lall. Main characters: Edith Murray and Cleda Erekson.

Though vastly different in customs, perhaps, yet the funda- mental incentive for human companionship is still present. And there still lingers that desire for leisure which expresses itself in a more rolliclcsome and playful attitude now- adays than then. We in our complex age of indusrty and achievement enter into our games with just as much zest as we do our more sober duties. With care free, we abandon ourselves to the call of the moment, and enjoy fully each gathering which graces our social calendar. We become engrossed in the numerous high school 'istuntsn and parties which each busy year calls forth. But I would fain say that in the years to come, we who have become too old to enjoy an active participation in the enthusiastic affairs of youth will gladly wonder in meditation back to the old school room aglow with youth, and live over again the gay, social times. That our memory may not fail us, let us record each affair in our be- loved Tillicum where we may turn its pages in years to come and catch again that electric vibration of youth. SENIOR MIXER On September I8 the first entertainment of the high school was given by the Senior class in the form of a mixer. This party was to endeavor to get all new students and teachers acquainted with each other and to have a regular good time. An excellent program consisting of several musical numbers, recitations, and dances was given in the auditorium and all adjourned to the gymnasium for games and dancing. Later a light lunch was served and all declared it was an excellent party fl... W., '26. FRESHMAN INITIATION On Friday evening, October l, the Sophomores held the annual Freshman initia- tion. The upper classmen and the faculty were invited but the Junior High School was excluded so they might live in anticipation for what is in store for them next year. An entirely new method of initiating was treated to the class of QS. Each member of the freshman class was dressed to represent some character of Mother Goose and recited a verse. Later the company was escorted to the gym where games and dancing were held. Refreshments were served and everyone enjoyed themselves, although some- what at the expense of the Frosh. -V. J. L. Thirty -two AMICITIA PARTY Un December I8 the Big Sistersi' of the Amicitia club gave a party for the Little Sisters. The Little Sistersf' attired as little girls, were escorted to the gym by handsome sheiks, hobos, farmers, and in fact, most everything in the masculine line from mamma's nice little Lord hauntleroy to the rough and rowdy tomboys with torn shirts and knocked-out teeth. The evening was spent in games and dancing until we were called to the assembly where we enjoyed a good program while awaiting the advent of Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. But when they came there was much merry-making for as usual Santa had a gift for all the good little girls and boys and who knows but maybe one for the bad ones. After a lovely supper of salads, sandwiches, pickles and cake we journeyed to our respective homes, declaring the Big Sisters mighty good sports. -M. R. B. JUNIOR ASSEMBLY Early in February the Junior class very successfully entertained the remainder of the student body at an assembly. The curtain rose disclosing a chorus composed of the members of the class who sang a very entertaining and catchy song. Several interesting talks were then given by Circulation Manager Eric Bjorkgren, Editor Rose Bartell, and President Ernest Newstead. JUNIOR SONG See 1vho's coming down the street, ltis a funior, so petiteg 11's a funior come to meet you here. funiors, you know who I mean, Smartest thing you've seen, You could tell them miles away from here.

Yes, sir, we're the funiors, No, sir, dont mean maybe- Yes, sir, buy your tickets now. SURPRISE PARTY On Thursday evening, March l l, TQZ6, by mutual consent and by much planning, a surprise party for Miss Bones was held in the gymnasium of the Qalcville high school. At eight o'clock the majority of the guests were assembled and as the head lights of the car of the honor guest shot along the high school lane, the lights of the builchng were turned out, causing much confusion and fright to the honor guest who was indeed moved by the preparations. Everyone enjoyed themselves in games and dancing. Refreshments were served, the chief attraction being a delicious birthday cake. Th affair was deemed one of the most successful social events of the season. , -M. R. B., 27. Thirty-three ty-four ftlumni 1924 Hilda Hall, Mrs. Corwin Fettis, Centralia.

Forty Spirit uf qlilrngress lt is generally assumed by the rising generation of today that the spirit of progress has .been -slow, but when we compare present advanced conveniences with the crude ways of living in l870, we are compelled to admit that progress has been quite rapid. The first postofhce in Oakville was in a log house, the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. Harris, who acted as postmaster and deputy. The log house stood on what is now Miss Emma Harris' property at the east side of Oakville. Olympia and Montesano were practically the only towns around. The mail was brought from Olympia one day and back the next, on horseback over narow Indian trails, as roads were things of the uture. Of course, the postoffice had to have a name so the naming of the postoffice led to the naming of the town. R. Harris and Jacob l... Myers were instrumental in the naming of Oakville The town received its name from the large oak trees which grew in and around it. The only large oaks still standing near are on the Dan McKay place about two miles west of town. The next thing in the progress of the town after its postoffice and naming, naturally comes its schools. The first school house was a rough affair, boarded up and down like a small barn, located about where Tolefson's bam is now. It was naturally in those times a very rude affair. Roughly constructed benches and one table were its only fur- nishings. It was here that all public gatherings were held and farmers used a little closet- like room at the frontrfor a place to keep their secret work for their union which was early organized. Among the first teachers were Miss Emma Harris and Miss Cornelia Newton. frlnhe writer could not obtain authentic information on the first teacherj Naturally in time this school house became too small for both the gatherings and the school. So another was built, this time west of the cemetery. This was done as it was thought to be more centrally located, for people come from away up Garrard Creek and the other way as far as Thurston county. Then some time later when a still larger build- ing was needed the school was built on the east side of town. At that time everyone said, My, what a fine buildingll' But progress didn't stop then, for glance around you now, dear reader, and see the fine schools you have. The grade school so up-to-date and your fine high school building. Both structures for any community to be proud of, and the building that was so fine, just a short time ago, is remodeled into apartments for teachers. But to go back to the early progress. There was no cleared land around except the prairies. The settlers were constantly in fear of an lndian attack. When they heard of the Indians being on the war path, they would all gather at one house for protection. One day two boys, who had been out hunting, thought it would be a good joke to whoop and yell like Indians to frighten the people. The yells were heard and the alarm of an attack went around. The inhabitants of the little community gathered together for mutual pro- tection at the Harris home. The h.ouse being small, and the settlers quite a few in num- ber, the quarters were somewhat crowded. But this did not hinder the younger genera- tion, for they thought it great sport to be able to play with so many neighbors all at once. They soon learned of the joke and all went to their homes. Later a blockhouse was built on the Cedarville prairie which received the name of Blockhouse Smith from th name of the builder. It was later washed away by the river. Many wild animals roamed the woods. It was very difficult to keep domestic ani- mals as the cougars killed them, and horses and bear have a natural antipathy for each other. But hunters soon saw to it that the bear and cougars left. Deer were never so plentiful for the cougars would kill them just for the sport of killing, it seems. A hunting story is told about Mr. Roundtree who got lost while hunting back of the old lflarris place. As the weather was very cold it was necessary for him and his companion to pound a stump all night in order to keep warm for they had neither matches nor flint. All of the early transportation was done by boats. Settlers would go to Olympia or Tumwater, which is one of the oldest settlements in that part of the country, once every Forty-one six months to purchase their supplies which they would bring back on barges and scows. John Flynn, or ul:ather Flynnf' as he was known, a preacher from Tumwater, journeyed the distance of twenty-eight miles one Sunday out of each month over a narrow path to preach to the people of this little settlement, which has always been more or less a religious center for people for miles around. The meetings were conducted in the school house until the church was built, the first one being on the present site of the depot. In 1882 Fitzgerald brothers established the first store and took over the postofhce. This building, which later burned, was situated about where Tolefson's house is now. The next store was owned by O. P. Brewer 61 Son which was located across the street from the Harvery 8: Stevens garage. As the settlement grew and more people began to come, the land was bought up around the town by Drs. hanace and Dumon, who plotted it out and sold it for specula- tion. The .original plot of the main part of town was supposed to have been one block south of the present business section, Which, by the way, is Pine street. But after the railroad went through in about I89O, Pine street began to build into Main street, for it was closer to the depot and the business men thought it would be more convenient. On Main street is to be found the home .of Mrs. E. M. Burch, the oldest house standing in Oakville. The lumber for this house was made in the George Harris mill, as most of the lumber for the houses was, and the shingles were hand-made shakes. ln 1909 the town was incorporated. The reasons for this seem to be varied, but the outstanding points are that the county was charging a large tax on saloons. This money was sent out of town and went to the county. This was also true about the road tax money. Any arrests or moneys of any kind like that were all sent out of town to the county. The people realized that this money would be a great help in furthering and de- veloping their town and community, so they incorporated and kept the money in Oakville. The first mayor was R. Stoner and the first treasurer was Mr. Murphy, the present postmaster of Oakville. The hrst printing ofhce is the little one-room building directly back of the present Cruiser building. The hrst paper was called The Oakville Globe. The very first pub- lication of this paper was on June l8, l89l, of which Mrs. Burch still has a copy. It was edited and published by Partridge 51 Vernon. To go into detail with the development and progress would fill a volume, so, of course, we can only mention a few things. It is interesting to note that among some of the early settlers in Oakville are the names of our neighbors. Such names as these appear in the history .of Oakville: Round- tree, Burch, Harris, Newton, and many others among whom we must not forget Dr. and Mrs. Van Winkle who, for so many years, have given untiring service to the community. To some it may seem that the spirit of progress is slow. But if you can, in your imagination, through the aid of this article, picture to yourself the accomplishments of the past half century, you will understand that it has not been so slow. The ever-revolving wheel of progress is making a progressive community for you. Although we have said little enough about progress, we hope we have awakened a bit of appreciation for your town in your breast in telling you about some of the beginnings, and you can appreciate more fully the sign: Small, But Growing. -LAURETTA Cook.

COIHIIICIICCITICUY- Weire through! Forty-tive Slaunltnm illillirum Good friends, do you know that today near the town of Grand Dalles, Washington, there still lives in the little tribe of Washam Indians, the Princess Sha-naw-wah? And who is she? She is your good Tillicum. Now you are wondering how that can be. It is claimed that in IS56 during the Yakima Indian war, the United States soldiers destroyed the Wisham villages, burning their huts, blankets, peltries, fishing supplies, and their provisions: and that they also appropriated or destroyed their cayuse ponies to pre- vent them from falling into the hands of hostile Klickitats and Yakimas. The United States officials agreed to reimburse them for their loss and this has never been done, al- though they remained friendly to the whites throughout the war. ls this not a good test of friendship? So, today, after a lapse of 65 years, their claims are being urged before Congress and it is hoped the heirs will be granted some reparation at this late date. But Princess Shaw-naw-wah is doing more than merely being friendly. She is giving to the public a wealth of legend and tribal lore, rich in traditions of the Columbia. We do not know how old she is, this venerate queen of the Wishams, for even she does not know her exact age. She is the daughter of Chief Shaw-naw-Wah, Sahalee-Tyee, or High Chief of the tribe at the time Fort Vancouver was founded by the Hudson Bay Company in IBZ5. She believes herself to be over a hundred and relates that she was a little girl when the Gerat White Eagle, John McLoughlin, came up the river and concluded trading treaties with her father and other Tyee. This does not seem entirely improbable, when we consider that besides herself in the small hut, reside her daughter, grandson, who is the present Chief Speedus, her great-grandchildren, and great-great- grandchildren. She could not be so old and live after the manner of the whites, but back of the hut stands a large stone bowl of mortar, over three feet in height in which this feeble old 'liillicum still pounds the roots and grains in preparing her primitive meals. 'lihis is impressive evidence of the fact that these stone implements are yet in use around some aboriginal lllahees, and that there are places in th United States where the stone age over- laps the twentieth century and it co-eval with the modern era of the submarine, airships, and radio. ln the same village also stands a natural monument rock of our Wisham Tillicums. It is known as the 'E,ver Watchful Eye, ,and was painted ages ago at night by the Ta-man-a-was Tillicum, friend of the Great Spirit, or Medicine lVlan, under the direct guidance and inspiration of the Sa-ha-lee Tamanawas or the Great Spirit himself. The story is that an unseen hand mixed the root pigment with unfading dyes and an invisible power held the artist's wrist in an iron grasp and guided his primitive brush across the surface of the stone during the weird hours of the night. It was a cloudy, pitch-dark night, moonless and gloomy, and with-out a single star. The artist was unable to see his own hand and was unconscious of the picture his unsteady fingers were tracing in eternal tints on that cold stone face. l-le could hear the swirling whirlpool of the big eddy, the stormy waves of the Wanna dashing among the crags, the sad, dismal cry of the spee-lee-yi and the songs and shouts of the elves and goblins in the fairy grove near by. But he labored on, in breathless, nervous haste to complete his task ere break of day. At dawn he was found by the amazed Wishamites in a trance-like sleep at the foot of the rock, and that ghostly eye, finished and faultless, was gazing down upon them. And, so, in all the generations since then, at times of trial, in days of danger, that ever-watchful eye has watched over them, their guard and their guide, a sleepless sentinel and spiritual monitor. Its watchful care protects them against both physical and spiritual danger. It could see every act of vice or virtueg bringing punishment to the one and praise to the other. Another legend told by the princess in her native tongue and interpreted by her grandson was that legend of the Lolumbia, that most famous of sages, the Bridge of the Gocis. lflere is her version of the noblest and most beautiful of all legends of the American aboriglnals: Anacotta', Cin the days long agoj bitter quarrels and strife sometimes arose be- tween the river god and the mountain demons. During one of these wars the mountain demons upreared a rocky barrier in an effort to chain up and subdue the spirit of the Iforty'-six Wauna, or Columbia river. But, summoning all his powers, the river god, in furious rage, broke asunder those stony chains and under guidance of Tamanaway, pierced a passage through the mountains and tore a wide subterranean canal between the rocks of that mighty bulwark. fAnd as our modern geologists state, the Columbia carved its own channel through the Cascade rangej Thus the mighty force of the raging waters cut a long rock-walled tunnel at the site of the present Cascades. This left a broad stone arch spanning that majestic stream--a Tamanawas structure not built by hands, across which people could pass at will. Then, by the tongues of prophetic Tyees, the Great Spirit announced to the tribes of the Waunna that the Bridge of the Gods was a sacred causeway of right and justice, dedicated to the peaceful, happy intercourse of lndians on both sides of the great river. So long as they were friendly, virtuous and kind, that God-made arch should span the silvery waves, but if they ever gave way to sin and crime, to cruel warfare and bloodshed, then those stony pillars would fall apart and tumble into the angry waters below. For some generations the red men on both sides of the Wauna dwelt in peaceful intercourse. But there came a generation which heeded not the legend and departed from the teachings of their forefathersg bitter feelings grew up between the tribes and cruel war- fare ensued. At length a bloody battle was waged for the possession of the sacred cause- way. Then suddenly at dead of night the solid earth began to shake and tremble as if in the throes of strife, the mountain demons belched forth flaming thunderbolts and hurled molten lava and burning rocks upon the smooth, crystal tide of the Waunag the enraged river god dashed his foaming waves in fury against the sides of the bridge abut- ments, the pillars began to give way and slide downward into the stream. 'lihen with a thunderous crash the glorious archway fell- and rocks, earth, and trees came tumbling into the swirling waters of the stream. Princess Shaw-naw-wah was also told by her forefathers that whenever a party of Indians reaches this long, dark tunnel, it was the custom to fasten their canoes together, one behind the other, so as to avoid confusion and collision in the darkness. They then prayed to the Great Spirit for safety and guidance before embarking on the perilous passage through that gloomy, mysterious subterranean channel. Now the Indians had forsaken the commands and teachings of Tamanawas, and punishment, suffering, and destruction had come upon them. The power of the red man was broken and the valley of the Wauna would now be open to the coming of those strange white men for afar. But uAlki,,' in the Hhappy time to come, when all tribes were again at peace and when all skookum tillicums loved one another, when red men and white men smoked the pipe of friendship, then, and not until then, another Bridge of the Gods would span the storied stream at the place of that sacred causeway. As these legends are preserved and made dear through those skookum Tillicums who have remembered them from year to year and generation to generation, so our Tilli- cum will keep us in touch with the past and we can in years to coem turn its pages and bring to memory happiness of days gone by. Thus it is fitting that we should honor the name, mlnillicum, Our Friend. sq,-N 1 -Q. gx out t 2 K 'mg H' sw f 1 'frail Forty-sewn af? ,. , ,V Alf'- Qiilee Glluh The Glee club was organized at the beginning of the school year with Miss Bones as director and Miss Hoyt, pianist. Miss Sealls filled the latter's place upon her resig- nation. The club consists of about Z5 girls who meet the eighth period on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for practice. Early in the year we sang at P.-T. A. and East End Progressive club meetings. At present we are working on The Feast of the Red Corn. The synopsis is as follows: The maidens of Wanta tribe celebrate The Feast of the Red Corn yearly. The fortunate one finding the first red ear would have her dearest wish materialized. This year Queen Weeda Wanta joins the mass she wishes to get the red ear in order to lind out about the welfare of the king. The old squaw tells them that there will be no wish this year as someone has com- mitted a grevious fault. lmpee Light, the queen's sister, is suspected of being the culprit. .She excuses herself on the grounds that she has inherited a peculiar temperament. By tricking the maidens into thinking that she has saved Fudgee, Wudgee and Pugee from being drowned, she is once more established in their good graces. The old squaw once more undertakes to invoke the winds, this time with success. The feast is celebrated, the queen finds the read ear, and in answer to her expressed wish sees a vision of her king, who is alive and journeying home. The feast is gaily progressing as the curtain falls. The chief characters are: lmpee Light .....,..... .......

At the beginning there were more instruments who have since dropped out. Under Misses Davis and Johnson the orchestra has progressed well and has played at numerous functions. Considering that this is the first attempt at an orchestra the students have done remarkably well. It is composed of the following instruments: First violin, Ellen Williams, My1'tle Bower, Mr. Potterg second violin, Mable Price, Harold Nlurrayg comet, Rosella Williamsg piano, Mildred Franz.

The girls did not join the league but four interscholastic games were played. Although we were not always successful a splendid spirit was shown at all games. ln Februray we lost our coach, lVliss Hoyt, who became lVlrs. Sylvan Paysse, but her place was ably taken by lVliss Bones, who coached us the remainder of the term. Seven letters were awarded to the following: Guards, Lauretta Cook, fcaptainl and Naomi Austing center, Lucille Woody side centers, Jewell Erekson, and Edith Murray: forwards, Lila Kocker and Helen Damitio. Q Honorable mention should be made of several other girls who were ever faithful to practice and always ready to do their part whenever called to sub in a game. Among these we mention, Claire Beckwith, Eleen Williams and Cleda Erekson.

A game was scheduled with Rainier but they have withdrawn from the League, so the game was cancelled. Great interest is being taken concerning the Rochester game. Last year with Mr, Hall as their coach they won a victory from us of I2 to l. This year the boys are working hard to turn the tables on them by the aid of Mr. Hall at this end of the line. Rochester has practically the same team as last year and we have only four letter men.
