A. T. Smith Diary transcript 1851
No full textA transcription of a 1851 diary in which Alvin Thompson Smith writes about topics such as his daily life on the increasingly populated Tualatin Plains; his farmwork; his business ventures and religious life; his contributing efforts to the Tualatin Academy; his trips to Portland, Oregon City, Hillsboro (which he spells "Hillsborough"), Lafayette, and various courts; his interactions with the Naylor family, William Geiger, the family of Harvey L. Clark (or Clarke), Tabitha Brown, his wife Abigail (who he refers to as "Mrs. Smith"), the Customs House Officer in Astoria, a Mr. Buxton, F.W. Brown, Omri Parsons, a Mr. Campbell, a Mr. Jenckins, a Mr. Tucker, a Luther White, Joseph Gale, a Mr. Waller, Elkanah Walkers, P. H. Hatch, David B. Williams, Samuel Brown, Cushing Eells, a Mr. Wimple, Darius Smith, David Lenox, Wesley Mulkey, and William Yates.Born in Connecticut in 1802, Alvin Thompson Smith, along with his wife Abigail Raymond, was amongst the first Euro-Americans to settle in the area on the Tualatin Plains that became Forest Grove, Oregon in the early 1840s. In his life, Smith was a missionary, a postmaster, a notable participant in the Champoeg Meetings, the builder of a 1856 house in Forest Grove that is today recognized by the National Register of Historic Places as the Alvin T. Smith House, and a contributor to an orphanage that became Tualatin Academy and later developed into Pacific University. Smith died in 1888 at the age of 85. This is one part of a collection of transcriptions of Alvin T. Smith's diaries from the years 1840-1853. The transcriptions, which are likely not identical to the diaries themselves and perhaps summarize some entries, were likely typewritten in the 1970s. The diaries are notable for their near daily entries. This year's diary was transcribed by M.S. Gilbert. The original diaries are held by the Oregon Historical Society (Mss 8)

I would like first to offer my warmest congratulations and good wishes to you as you approach the closing of the third year of our school. During the past year it has been necessary to add materially to the size of the building,' and we now have one of the largest and most beautiful schools in the Province.
For the past few years much has been said and written about the crisis in education. First we were concerned about providing buildings and equipment. We now think of the ouality of the work we are doing.
A few weeks ago there was held at the City of Ottawa a conference on education for the purpose of examining the whole field of education. Delegates attended from all the Provinces of Canada, between SCO and 900 in all.
The general feeling of the conference was that the standard of excellence which could be achieved by our young people depended largely upon the co-operation between the young people and the teaching profession.
Without enthusiastic and devoted teachers we cannot have a successful school. There was a strong current of thought through the conference that the importance of the teachers' work was not sufficiently recognized.
We believe that we have in the Gilbert Faterson School an unusually fine staff of teachers, and that we should continue to give to them in increasing measure our support and co-operation.
A most interesting speaker who spoke to the conference was Sir Ronald Gould, the head of the teachers' organization in the British Isles. He directed attention to the organization of the early Christian Church, and showed the important place that was occupied by the teacher. He quoted from one of the letters ’written by Saint Paul to the people of Corinth as follows:
"And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers, administrators, speakers in various kinds of tongues."
Next to the great spiritual leaders of the Church came the teachers. They took precedence ovecr the engineers, architects, doctors, nurses. It ’would arpear that the teacher was more important than the Superintendent, who administered the school organization.
It seems to me that young people of today have a marvellous opportunity to fit themselves to make their finest contribution to society when they grow up. It was evident from the statements of industrial leaders that they are prepared to advance in the way of scholarships and bursaries vast sums of money to enable our young people to become well oualified by attending institutions of higher learning. I believe the time is at hand when no girl or boy needs to be without a splendid education if she or he is willing to make a sacrifice in effort.
Sincerely
GILBERT PATERSONTo The Student Body Of 1937 - 1938

Nov; that another school year is drawing to a close, we who are engaged in the business of education are entering and demanding the arduous task of "taking stock" in order that we may bring together certain information and summarize our progress for the school year 1957-1958.
It has been said that Socrates differed from other men in that he pursued education where others proclaimed it. Some proclaim freedom, others pursue it, some proclaim "the state owes me an education - a living", while others pursue an education and thereby a living.
We as individuals might well devote some time to taking stock of ourselves as we finish this school year: it is only thus that we may be in a position to attempt to achieve the aims and objectives of what we pursue in our education. We must ever strive to Improve upon what has been done if we hope to accomplish that for which we have the yearning and the ability.
Looking back, doubtless, there are certain things which we did or neglected to do during the past year which detracted from our sense of personal satisfaction. These thoughtless errors of the past year may well direct our attention and our desire for improvement in the coming year.
Every person has a weak side. A wise person, however, knows where that weakness lies, and will be sure to keep a double guard there.
"Books are compasses and telescopes and sextants and charts which others have prepared to help us navigate the dangerous seas of human life."
"A good person will find there is goodness in the world; an honest person will find there is honesty in the world; a person of principle will find principle and integrety in the minds of others."
Each of us has in his heart a little thing called conscience, by which we test each thought and word and deed, and determine whether it is true or false.

You are richer now than you were last September if you have made new friends, if you have made stepping stones of your stumbling blocks, if you have learned to count out those things which really count, if you have become a little more blind to the faults of your friends and foes, and if you have accomplished to your satisfaction that which you set out to do last September.

Remember that if the opportunities for great deeds should never come your way the opportunity for good deeds is renewed everyday. The thing for us is goodness, not glory.

The council feels that the activities for the school year 1957-58 have been extremely successful.
During the year many students took part in three successful skating parties
Last fall we had a Welcome Homs Dance inviting the last year's graduating class as our honoured guests. We held three other successful dances.
These were the Christmas Dance, the Vale-'.'ine Dance and the May Dance.
The highlight of our May Dance was the crowning of a May King and Queen and two princes and princesses.
We conducted again for the third consecutive year a Turkey Raffle which we profited by with a substantial sum of money. Two major purchases of the Students' Union was that of a Tape Recorder and a C-estetner.

We held a series of Lits, the Grade Seven Spelling Bee, Grade Eight Quizz Contest and the Grade Nine Interhouse Debate, which were all successful.
V/e, the Students' Council, hope that we have served you well during this past school term and that you found this year one of the best yet in your school life.

The executive and members of the Gilbert Paterson Home and School Association feel that the 1957-58 season has been one of accomplishment and success. Briefly, here are some of the notable events of the year.
The association instituted the School Patrol; clearly marked school zones, and the Attendance Banner. We have purchased six dozen cups and saucers (to complete the dinner set started last year); as well as sport sv/eaters for school use. During the year we have sponsored scholarships; delegates to both the Banff Workshop and the Annual Convention; the water colour art display belonging to Mr. and Mrs.
Baron of Calgary; the Annual Graduation Banouet; and the Amateur Night Baking Contest and Shop Display. V/e contributed to the Kirby Scholarship fund in February, which is Founder's Month. Our membership has reached a new high of 215 active and enthusiastic supporters. Last, but not least, life membership and plaque were presented to Mr. G.C. Paterson — who has diligently supported our group in all its endeavors.
We would like to express our appreciation to all students, teachers and parents who have helped in any way throughout the past year.

We would like to thank the students heartily for their support to the paper. Without their interest we could not put out a paper. With the new Gestetner Duplicating machine, we are able to reproduce a very fine paper that is much more legible and has a great many cartoon features.
Thanks again for supporting us and an extra thanks for those who worked on the paper.

As you pass through the journey of life you do well to pause at .7,
each station and survey your progress and attempt to peek into the ~
future. Our travel has taken us through the pleasant experiences of 3=
childhood, across the bridge of friendship into early school years Vj
and on to the broad open stretches where you can see so far ahead.
True, there are hills and dales, but we stand at a vantage point .=?
where our vision is not obscured. Very soon we must leave that pinnacle
and start our adventure through the future carefully completing our education, then selecting the path which looks most promising to 7.
lead us through the heavier responsibilities of earning our living §
and building our homes. Every good experience that we have had and ~
will have v/ill add to the smooth passage along that path. 7l
We expect there will be pitfalls to avoid, hills to climb and 7
rivers to cross. Strength comes from adversity. May we have the iJ
wisdom to recognize adversity as such and overcome it and not be de- ~
ceived by the idea that these pitfalls are there to obstruct us and defeat us.
C-ilbert Paterson Junior High. We came to you when you were very young and when we were very young. We are the first class of graduates to spend three full years within your walls. You have made us very proud. You took your place amongst the schools with dignity; you excelled in all you undertook; and most of all you found a place for yourself in our hearts. Parting is not easy but with us we take a memory of evenings of entertainment, days of accomplishment, and friends. When we face our pitfalls, our rivers and our hills, our knowledge of how to overcome them will be greater because of what we learned here.
Foremost among the friends we treasure from our visit here are those who gave of their energies, their knowledge and their learning, their hours of patience and understanding - CXir Teachers. Who knows, among our numbers may be a premier or a president or a great humanitarian, because of the seeds of thought that some wise teacher planted in fertile minds. Their guiding hand will stay our headstrong plunging when heading up wrong paths and lead us gently back to reality and set us in the way that we should go.

Graduating class, your work has been hard; but nothing worth having comes without effort. To compensate for the hours of intense study, the concentrated efforts over books and handiwork come the memories of dances at the school, the skating parties, the games we won and almost won, and our first dates. Oh yes, between the hills are valleys of joy, which come clearer when you look back upon the meadows of accomplishment.
The future cannot hold us back. Our dreams, our aims, will be accomplished and all because we had the three short full years to set our steps aright. Our heads are held high, our hearts are full of happiness and expectation. As we take our leave, we thank our school, our teachers and our fra ends most sincerely for all they have added to our lives.

aSOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT l ill
This article has been printed in various newspapers, including the Lethbridge Herald, and should give many teenagers food for thought.
"Always we hear the plaintive cry of the teen-agers:
"What can we do....?
"Where can we go....?
"I can make some suggestions. GO HOME l
"Hang storm windows, paint the woodwork. Rake the leaves. Mow the lawn. Shovel the walk. Wash the car. Learn to cook. Scrub some floors. Repair the sink. Build a boat. Get a job.
"Help the minister, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, Visit the sick. Assist the poor. Study your lessons. And when you are through — and not too tired — read a book.
"Your parents do not owe you entertainment.
"Your village does not owe you recreational facilities.
"The world does not,owe you a living.
"You owe the world something.
"You owe it your time and energy, and your talents so that no one will be at war or in poverty, or sick, or lonely again.
"In plain, simple words: 'GROW UP* quit being a crybaby; get out of your dream world; develop a backbone not a wishbone, and start acting like a man or a lady."
"I'm a parent. I'm tired of nursing, protecting, helping, appealing, begging, excusing, tolerating, denying myself needed comforts for your every whim and fancy, just because your selfish ego instead of common sense dominates your personality, and thinking, and requests."%\

AWHICH ARE YOU
There are two kinds of people on earth today;
Just two kinds of people, no more, I say.
Not the sinner and saint, for it's well understood The good are half bad, and the bad are half good. Not the rich and the poor, for to rate a man’s wealth,
You must first know the state of his conscience and health.
Not the humble and proud, for in life's little span,
Who put on vain airs is not counted a man.
Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying years Bring each man his laughter and each man his tears.
No; the two kinds of people on earth I mean Are the people who lift, and the people who lean. Wherever you go, you will find the earth’s masses Are always divided in just these two classes.
And, oddly enough, you will find too, I ween, There’s always one lifter to twenty who lean.
In which class are you? Are you easing the load Of overtaxed lifters, who toil down the road?
Or are you a leaner, who lets othersshare Your portion of labor, and worry and care?

Gilbert Paterson Junior High Lethbridae. AlbertaVALEDICTORY by Reva Storfie
To us, 1956-5? graduates of the Gilbert Paterson Junior High School, the term '‘graduating" means far more than a movement from Junior High to the realm of High School. Graduation is the portal to an intricate and ever changing world, which, particularly today, demands from each of us advanced knowledge and understanding much beyond that which we possess now. In this modern era, the value of education far exceeds the value of material things. And, upon this belief, we base our goals, standards and values. Passed down from teachers and parents have been the high standards which we hope to uphold for all times. Nov; has come the time not only to think about values, but to put those beliefs into effect.
For nine well planned years of our lives, we have attended classes at both the elementary and Junior High School levels. Each year precise information was gathered and added to the fund of knowledge gained in previous years. As the years progressed, we learned to be less dependent of others. Through guidance, came the time when we were even able to answer some of our own questions. The most cherished of all years, have been the two event-filled years at Paterson. As Paterson's second graduating class, we have often worked diligently and attained satisfaction in our many and varied courses of study. Now, after these nine school years, we are prepared to advance to the higher grades, and we find that our education is just beginning a new phase.
But, looking back, we find Paterson Junior High has given us many things with which to face the future years. First of all, wisdom, in being able to realize what a necessity a good education is.
Secondly, through extra curricular activities, which this school has many, the ability to cooperate with others, and thirdly, the ability to appreciate fully the people associated with our school.
As we, presently Grade Nine students, and tomorrow’s citizens, approach the end of a most rewarding and personally satisfying
Junior High School career, we feel both happiness and regrets--
Happiness, for being allowed to share in a newer perspective of learning at High School, and regrets, in leaving behind a school where many memorable events have taken place, and where such understanding teachers have given us so much of learning and the dignity of learning.
So, it is with deep gratitude we say farewell to a school we will never forget--our Gilbert Paterson Junior High.This Yearbook is dedicated to our friend and benefactor, Mr. Gilbert Paterson, Q. C.
'lTC THE STUDENT BODY OF 1956-57
You are about to finish another year of your school lire.
It is my sincere hope that this school year has been a successful one to you in many ways. I hope that you have made some orogress in learning, that you have gained greater ability to use your knowledge and that you have had a happy and enjoyable time in doing this.
Here are a few thoughts I would like to leave with you. Education is a never-ending process. You must continue to learn as long as you live.
"Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow Brings us farther than to-day".
The world you live in is constantly changing. If you wi4h to succeed, you must change - you must be able to adapt yourself to your changing environment.
Take a certain measure of care in your choice of friends. "True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth and choice".
You should try to overcome your own faults, and you will have less time to criticize the faults of others.
Remember that your conduct is about three-fourths of your life and its largest concern.
You should endeavor to be true to yourself - to your sense of right and wrong. Mark Twain once said, "Truth is the most valuable thing we have. Let us economize it".
If in some way you would endeavor to follow the above things, I am sure that you would be successful in life; you would have the respect and esteem of those with whom you come in contact; and above all, you would have an inner feeling of self-respect and well-being.JUNIOR HIGH STAFF

GILBERT PATERSON HOMS & SCHOOL ^SOCIATICN
i
At the end of the second year of operation, the Gilbert Paterson Home and School Association feels that some progress has been made in being of service to the School, the parents and the students. The Grade IX Graduation Banquet was again sponsored by the Home & School, and a substantial start was made on a dinner set for the school. Home & School Scholarships were set up, through which we hope to encourage more of the students to higher academic standars. A most interesting art display cf Jeffrie’s Historical drawings was brought to the school for a week and was used by a majority of the students.
V/e hope each year to increase our activities and become of more value to the School and the Community.

Zelma KelsonA SUCCESSFUL YEAR
The council feels that the activities for the school year 1956-57 have been very successful.
During the year many students took part in two successful skating parties.
Last fall we held a Welcome Home Dance inviting back last year’s graduating class.
We held four other successful dances, The Opening Dance,
The Christmas Dance, The Valentine Dance, and the Easter Bunny Hop.
The students' Union took part in the fund drive for Hungarian
Relief.
We conducted again a Turkey Raffle which netted a substantial sum of money for the treasury.
V'e purchased for the Year Book Staff a flash camera to take candid shots for the 56-57 edition of the yearbook.
We decided to purchase for the school a tape recorder to be used in our class rooms.
We instituted for the first time "The Color Day" at which time we presented awards to meriting students.
At the scholarship presentation were included our Student Union prizes for academic achievement.
We purchased a House Trophy won most consecutively by House Alpha this year.
We held a series of Lits, the Grade Seven Spelling Bee, the Grade Eight Quiz Contest, and for the first time, the Grade Nine Interhouse Debates.
We hope that we have served you well and that you found this year one of the best years in your school life.

The Purge of 209
This is the school. In this school are three hundred pupils. Some are good, some are bad. 3ut they have one thing in common. They're here to learnl That's where I come in. I’m a teacher.
It's ten to nine, the students are beginning to come in. I study them carefully looking for concealed weapons. In the meantime a fellow teacher is already at work. Elgin 'Veils, Wes Stefan, Cathy Hay, Jack Downie, and Lorraine Lyons are picked up on a 612, loitering in the halls.
Nine o'clock. Everything is quiet. I open the book and begin to read. Cut of the- corner of my eye I see several doing last nights homework. They have a worried expression. We've caught them off guard for once. It looks like a nice morning.
Nine o five. The bell rings and the students move. The
minute they are out of the room I gt> to work. Hob Adams, Gary
Douglas, John Hold and Bill Leedam are picked up on a 480. They were firing spitballs at the students from 210. They'll get the blackboard for that.
Nine o Nine. The students are in social, Lorallee Hall, and
Carol Patey are caught in 8101, note passing. V.f. Aoki is really
on the ball. He is ready for any trick as he deposits pearlly words of wisdom into their minds.
The class moves. Eda Seaman is picked up on a 113740, a very serious charge. Obstructing traffic.
They're in math. Pred Anderson, Brian McKelgunn and Sylvia Stevens are booked on a 1150. Math homework not done. They'll get hard labour for that!
Class again moves. Larry Ogden is picked up on a 680. He held his books so high that falling objects became dangerous to some of the smaller teachers.
Class moves to typing. Garden Bennett and Lyn Vright are booked on £ 650 and 430, flying planes which have not been approved by CCA and flying without a pilots license respectively.
Class moves, Cynthia Lambert, and Hose Lepp are picked up on a 319 gum chewing.Literature class, I get Judy Rhamey, Donna Workman and Mildred Spencer on a 207. Everyone knows thats Tor talking. Arlene Williams is trooped on an 810 for note nassing, as I strive to enlighten the Dupils on the matter of literature.
The bell rings. As they leave Beatrice Lewis and Olga Bankonin are nicked up on general principals. They haven't done anything yet which makes us suspicious.
1 get out my file and go merrily to work on my bicuspids as the students leave. From the looks we are poor misunderstood teachers, yet you would think we weren't humans.
The ideas expressed here are not necessarily the ideas of the student bodyl They are merely the ideas of the minor majority called 209.
In conclusion I would like to thank Miss Toole of the yearbook staff who, by the time you read this, has undoubtedly censored half of this, the School Board, who supplied ink and paper, and Beatrice Lewis without whose constant reminders of the delivery date I could not have possibly gotten this done.
Yours truly,
Elgin ’.Veils.
