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

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

t McMULLEN WILSON BURKE B. CORRIGAN GALLAGHER The Student Body Association '’P'HREE years ago when the High School and College Departments of our school were separated, it was the common feeling that it would take a long time for the readjustment to work smoothly. No one could foresee that into the posts left vacant by the passing of the college men would step the younger men of the High School Department to fill them very competently. Perhaps no one was more surprised than these men themselves to find that without previous training they were entirely capable of handling the affairs within their jurisdiction. The first officers of this organization were: J. Meade, K. McMullen, H. Malone, W. Anderson. G. Rourke, and J. O’Connor. The men who have succeeded these in their official capacity have found the task a little easier year by year in some respects. These officers have what those men built up: an established system. Their work has not been to smooth out the wrinkles in a new system but to increase the effectiveness of the well established plan. This year the officers were Charles McMullen, president; Bernard Burke, vice-president; Barret Corrigan, secretary; Ralph Wilson, treasurer, and Roland Gallagher, sergeant-at-arms. ❖ ❖ ❖ Mr. Clausing (to Cameron): You’ve got something up your sleeves; I can see it in your eye.” TWfcNTV-NINE
