Freshman B” I the beginning of the year, the First High classes were divided into two sections. Mr. Coen became our teacher, and class activities started with a bang. George McKnight was elected president and Frank Richards vice-president, with O’Connor as treasurer, Morclli as secretary, and Telquist as athletic manager. We turned out many promising football players, among them Mickey McKnight, Morelli, Prosperi, Kirsch, and Telquist. Some shifts between A” and B” at the half year called for a new election, in which Robert Sherman became our president, Burke vice-president, Mosey treasurer, and Dana McBarron secretary. The call for basketball brought a willing response from such excellent players as Charles Flajole, Collins, Manning, Corrigan and MacAdam. They did very well and give promise of first-string material when they reach the upper classes. As baseball season drew on, Kirsch, Morelli, McKnight and Prosperi were seen working into form for the Junior Squad. When the line-up for the first team came out we were proud to find McKnight representing us there. We did our share generously for the Missions, and made a good showing in the drive for Echo ads. Watch us go! ❖ ❖ Carey (ordering on his father’s ship): I want some raw oysters, nor too large or too small, nor too salty, or soft. And cold, do you hear?” Waiter: Yessir, yessir.

Freshman A JT was early in September when about 30 boys appeared at First High A,” all more or less eager to begin their first year high school. The boys were glad to find that for teacher they were to have Rev. Fr. Austin. He has shown himself always ready to help us in lessons or sports. As days rolled by, the time came for the election of officers. Smiling James Dailey was elected president, and Edward Wade vice-president, while Edward Forrest was elected secretary. No money was missed under the careful regime of David Perry as treasurer. Gordon Brotherton was named Athletic Manager, and Leo Kelly class editor. When the call came for delegates to the Sodality of Mary, our class responded with a great number of students, all of whom were eager to join, and attended the meetings with faith and loyalty. In sports, too, this class has had many representatives: in football, Ernie Morelli, the dashing fullback of the Midgets; the triple threat man, Mickey McKnight; the star center, Fritz Prosperi, and also Frank Richards, who was there with lots of action and pep in every game. In the new election, Kavanagh became president, with Wade, Dailey, Reddin and Cadwell Corrigan taking the other offices. TWENTY-FIVE

Dr. John McLoughlin THE story of the life of Dr. John McLoughlin is largely the history of the early Oregon country. During the period of joint occupancy, which was from 1818 to 1846, McLoughlin was autocrat of the entire Oregon country, which extended from the present northern boundaries of California and Nevada to the present southern boundary of Alaska. In 1824 McLoughlin came overland to Astoria and assumed charge of the business interests of the Hudson's Bay Company. His headquarters was established at Fort Vancouver. The history of this pioneer is filled with accounts of his kindness, friendliness and sympathy. During the entire period of his administration at Fort Vancouver there were no Indian wars in the Oregon country, as the Indians looked upon him as their ruler and obeyed him. The immigrants who had suffered the hardships and misfortunes of the dangerous trip across the plains found Fort Vancouver a haven of peace. All the travelers who drifted into the Columbia River country found ar the fort a most hospitable welcome. ORGANIZATIONS
