audience school days In Mil­
waukie from 1888 to 1895 in
the days when "UncleSam lived
within his income and without
ours."
The school was located at the
present site of the city hall,
the land having been donated by
Lot Whitcomb. This first public
school was of real lumber with
soft cedar ceiling, 1x6 plank
floor complete with knotholes,
ami glazed paper windows too
high to see in or out of. It
was subsequently replaced with
four-room
two-storied
school building from wMch the
first class was graduated in
1895.
Prideaux reminisced about
the separate playgrounds for
the boys
and
girls,
the
woodshed, the common dipper
and bucket, the double desks,
lunches
of hardbolled eggs,
games of stink base and shinny-

Fridays
were for
school programs;
musical numbers, spelling bees
(the girls usually won), and the
debates when such
subjects
as "resolved that anticipation
is greater than realization"
were argued by the grammar
school youngsters.
Besides this school, Spen­

established by the Episcopal
Church held classes at the

Kelly's Drums Roll Again
Johnny Kelly’s drum that he
played in the Civil War rolled
again at the special meeting
of the Clackamas County His­
torical Society Sunday afternoon
at Mertie Stevens* Guest House
when the Fife and Drum Corps
of tlie Sons of Union Veterans
Reserve of the Civil War per­
formed. Old-timers remember
Johnny Kelly as the well-known
night patrolman of Oregon City
who never missed playing Ms
drum in all the local parades.
The drum was presented to the
Society by Betty Howell Barrow,
daughter ofOregon pioneer des­
cendants.
Organized about a year ago
by Claude R. Butcher of Lake
Oswego, the corps wear exact
reproductions of Civil War un­
iforms, and their equipment,
including rifles, drums, and
leatlier canteens, is authentic.
Their next performance will be
at the laying of the cornerstone
of the Oregon Historical Society
Museum on Veterans’Day,Nov­
ember 11, in Portland.
Speaker for the afternoon was
A. J. Prideaux, principal of
Woodstock School in Portland
for 34 years before Ms retire­
ment 20 yearsago, who recalled
in a delightful way for Ms
at them and bld by placing a
paper with the bid under each
item. Maximum blds allowed
were one dollar. Most of the
items were colorfully decor­
ated to add intrigue.
After the auction, the guests
from the Parkrose group dis­
played the Christmas candles
they have been selling for the
past few years. Orders were
taken for many of the beautiful
candles displayed. These will be
delivered at a visitation on Nov.
10 at the Anchorage in Port­
land.

cated a block or so north of

til it moved to Portland where
it became St. Helen’s Hall.
At Lake Oswego wasan Episco­
pal boys’ school which was the
forerunner of the Bishop Scott
Academy of Portland, later
named Hill Military Academy.
Lot Whitcomb,
entre
preneur of his day, engaged two
printers from San Francisco to
operate the printing press he
had acquired, and
thus Mil­
waukie had a weekly paper about
two weeks before Portland did.
Whitcomb over-extended him­
self in his enterprises and to
settle his account with the print­
ers turned the Western Star
over to them. They surrepti­
tiously removed
the equip­
ment to Portland where they
established

paper, leaving a chagrined Mil­
waukie without one.
After Prideaux’s entertaining
talk to members and guests of
the Society, including some of
his former pupils, a special
performance by the fife and
drum corps was given
for

members Johnny Kelly playing
