Description:
[Portland, OR]: Hill Military Academy, [1925]. Tall 8vo. [130 pp (unpaginated)]. With over 200 photos, illustrated throughout. Tan covers, yapp edges, raised black lettering (slight shelfwear), NF copy. First edition of this scarce souvenir yearbook recording through photographs all of the year’s activities at the prestigious Pacific Northwest military academy during the Roaring 20s. Hill Military Academy is perhaps best remembered for the 1925 Supreme Court decision Pierce v. Society of Sisters, in which the court overturned the 1922 Compulsory Education Act actively supported by the Ku Klux Klan requiring attendance in public schools. This yearbook records the classes, football, baseball, and basketball teams, cadet organizations, poetry, humorous cartoons, and the military maneuvers and inspections, some of which were held Rocky Butte, Camp Lewis, and Camp McArthur.
