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

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.

McMullen. Hurler, D.inr, Conyne Sherman, K.ivanj li, Prochl The Student Council WITH a resounding bang the opening of the year was greeted by the first meeting of the Student Council. The meeting was called by Bernard Burke, vice-president of the Student Body, who is by virtue of that position the president of the Council. Roll was called and everyone being present the meeting proceeded with business. The first meeting was taken up more or less with a readjustment to school life after the carefree days of vacation. This Council is, as everyone knows, a medium between the faculty and students and between the students themselves. In this capacity the boys of the Council must needs be chosen with care, or important matters will go awry from lack of proper attention. The membership is made up of the various class presidents and the officers of the Student Body Association. This year the officers of the Council were: Student Body Representatives, Charles McMullen and Bernard Burke, while the classes were represented by Joseph Danz, Herbert Conyne, Frank Petschl, Jack Kavanagh, and Robert Sherman. ❖ ❖ ❖ Gallagher (waiting behind Pier 20 with a club for Poth): He usually comes down to work at the dock about 6:30 a. m.” Atkinson: It’s half past seven now.” Gallagher: I hope nothing happened to the poor fellow.” TWENTV-ECGHT
