Ever increase them; ever perfect them; so they may withstand the hard knocks that are in store for us when we leave our blessed Alma Mater, Saint Helen’s Hall, to take our place in a new field of life. Onward, ever on! Uni Butorin! a. HERE is no royal road to learning. To reach that goal, work and thought are necessary; but in the end, is it not worth while? Are you not repaid for all your efforts? It is not always easy to give up the things that seem pleasant and appeal to your fancy at the time, and to keep your mind and thoughts on what you arc doing; but in the end, it means success. T .: : .V..: •< a A Success is the big thing for which ev eryone is striving. No matter what you undertake, your goal will always be the same—to succeed in the thing you are doing. At times, it seems as if the goal is always just out of reach, but if you stop to think that success is really the ability to do just what you want to do in exactly the way you want it done, you will see that you have gained success in many things just because your wish to achieve this was so strong that you worked, and really compelled yourself to achieve your end. �LITERARY r (• \ 1 * i I Udtr ^Framing of tit? (Enustttntimt w HEN EVER. a new government or a new country is born, it is neces­ sary for that nation to have a code of laws; so it was with the United States of America. After the Revolutionary War, when the final ties between England and the colonics had been severed, the great men of these newlyfreed colonies set about to build a nation. The result of their work is the Constitution, a code of laws which has bound together the forty-eight states of the Union in justice, liberty and peace, and which has become the “supreme law” of nearly a million people. The task of the freeman was not an easy one, and the universal wonder is how they accomplished their end so efficiently and so well. The work was great, the time given short, and capable workers few, yet in this docu­ ment which they have given us, the citizens of the United States have summed up, all the provisions of the great law-givers of history. Many who read and study the Constitution do not appreciate it to the extent of its value, because they do not realize the stupendousness of the task these men had. When one stops to think that it was composed in eighty-five working days and by fifty-five statesmen, who did all their own clerical work, because of the secrecy of the convention, the full weight of the matter begins to dawn upon one. Some of the fifty-five took no active part in the drawing up of the Constitution, and some stood in the way of those who did. Their objections probably added a wholesome influence to the convention, but on the other l :■ ■ ■}. 5* ! ! { •T [ ■ rT -• ; v. �sir-'" - " ■; • ] 10 . •: m D j> l p 1) i r hand, they caused many worries and perplexities for their greater colleagues who had assumed the responsibility and work. Other difficulties arose to confront the already over-burdened framers. Some of the states rebelled against and refused to accept different clauses. For instance. Rhode Island insisted upon recognizing paper money as the equivalent of gold, and therefore, objected to several of the mercenary clauses. On the other hand, New York seriously opposed the surrendering of the customs revenues which proxided her chief income. Various other colonics were forced to surrender land to the new Federal Government before entering under its protection. The most extraordinary fact connected with the framing of the Con­ stitution, of which many arc ignorant, is the means bv which the framers worked. As the Constitution stands alone in the annals of constructive statesmanship, so does the process by which it was constructed, In a word, there is nothing which equals this document. At the beginning, when men were still considering the plan of this great work, propositions for discussion were placed before the convention in an abstract form. These propositions were embodied in fifteen resolutions which were immediately referred to the Committee of the W hole. They were taken up one by one for consideration and discussion. Some were accepted, some amended, or some laid aside for further consideration. At the end of two weeks of like procedure, the conclusions of this com­ mittee were reported. These were in the form of nineteen resolutions, and were considered along with other propositions. Thirteen days later, the work was submitted to the Committee of Detail for elaboration and reduc­ tion from the abstract to the concrete. They reported about ten days later and the concrete document was then turned over to the framers as a whole. After due consideration and debating, the now nearly finished Constitution was entrusted to the care of the Committee of Style for further revision of style and arrangement. On the 18th of September, the completed document was submitted to the people for acceptance or rejection. lhe work of the great convention, which was then accomplished, was the making of a government which has withstood the storms of a century and more. There have, of course, been several amendments to the original, but even if the ten amendments had never been proposed, the established Constitution would have moved on just the same through the ages. d he conscience and intelligence of the people have been the real safeguards against injustice and oppression. But one does not stop to wonder when he realizes what liberty, what justice, what peace, and safety are provided for in the work of these statesmen who have made our government what is is today—the greatest nation of the world.

First of all, there is the limp, bored handshake which gives one the im­ pression that the owner of the hand is bored to tears, that he finds nothing amusing around him, and that he wishes devoutly he was anywhere but where he is at present. Again, we have the cold, clammy handshake which makes one feel as if she had just received into her palm a wet, slippery, very much dead, codfish. But the most lasting of all handshakes is the athletic one. For hours afterward, one tenderly nurses the poor bruised hand, which feels as though it had been in a vise, and one fervently prays she will not be forced to Undergo the ordeal when the athlete in question leaves. Then, there is the handclasp between acquaintances, and again that be­ tween friends, which differ vastly. For instance, the handshake between acquaintances, especially in modern society, where only “the almighty dollar” counts, may be effusive or only slightly so, according to the size of one’s income tax, as compared with that of the acquaintance in question. If her’s is the larger, then the handshake will be correspondingly condescending. If the acquaintance happens to be in the slightest degree — shall we say — dis­ approving, her handshake will be brief; very brief. I might say. and frigid; in fact, one nearly becomes an iceburg during it, however brief it may be. But the clasp of friendship, I mean of real friendship, not that of “fairweather friends,” is entirely different. It is warm, sincere, understanding. It conveys to us a feeling of comfort and peace, and we know that in time of trouble that friend will be there, ready to help us and cheer us on. These are but few of the many and varied handshakes one receives on her way through life. Soon even these will fade away' into the past, and then, I suppose, we will content ourselves with a careless nod or a formal bow, as I he case may be, or even return to primal conditions, and rub noses — as the Indian tribes still do.

Suddenly, from the human heap on the gridiron, a figure darted and dashed down the field, scoring the winning & T ! �A^T m - 12 * 1 j ! 1 a 3 ? I p 1) i r touchdown. It was Henry Jones, all-round athlete, captain of the ream, president of the student body, and a “regular fellow.” “Ha!” spoke Mars, “he wins the prize.” “Wait!” replied Jupiter. The scene changed; the gods found themselves gazing on the crowded forum of the school auditorium. Alfred Smith, editor of the school paper president of the literary society, “smartest fellow in the school,” has just fin­ ished the concluding argument which won the interscholastic debate. Great applause from the audience. “Here,” spake Athena "is one who merits the reward.” “Wait,” replied Jupiter.

Cecily Applegath, ’25. - - A llf �0 e i p Ij i r (0u Writing a U%mr A , £ r -i THEME! What a tremendous assignment! The word itself sounds simple enough the day before, but what a laborious procedure and agoniz­ ing mental processes it finally involves! First, one cannot find a suitable subject, or, having found that, can think of nothing to say. Habitual expressions on passersbv, big colored illustrations in picture books, interesting items in the daily paper — what wonderful possibilities there arc in the every-dav trend of events, and the faces of those about us day after day, if we only realize the fact! Per­ haps, if you asked her, your class-mate could tell you ol her amusing experience in a rik’sha, sight-seeing in picturesque Japan before the awful earthquake destroyed its beauty, or perhaps something has happened in her life that bears the nucleus of a fascinating story. Even your school-desk could suggest, were you willing, a wonderful adventure-talc ot its journey from the stately forest to the buzzing factory, Even the material of your dress, probably originally came from some far-olT and romantic country. And in the outside world, there arc the trees and flowers, and hosts of beautiful things all ready to be praised in prose or verse. Still, we cannot seem to select a topic. With so many possibilities at hand, the process of selection seems hopeless. Shall we write a wise­ sounding essay, or an amusing experience, or a fanciful poem? Alas! we cannot decide. There we sit, chewing our pencils and staring vaguely from empty space to the empty paper before us. Then, at last, we are inspired! The clock strikes, and suggests to us the possibilities of writing an essay on bells, For, if there are any people that should be familiar with such a subject, they arc the boarders of St. Helen’s Hall, and I am one of them. Rising bells and class-room bells; chapel bells and breakfast bells! They mark off our daily life as regularly as the striking of the clock. First, after we have recovered from being aroused by the clanging of the milk­ man’s pails in the wee hours of the morning, another clanging awakens us and bids us to get up, no matter how dark and cold it is ! But the most welcome bell, I think, is that which dismisses us from class before the teacher finds out that he haven’t prepared our lesson. How welcome its clattering noise is then! What relief the sound of it brings! Fire-bells, and church-bells, and door-bells too —what a host of them confront us daily! Surely, now, I have found a subject. For once I shall have prepared my English. Will Miss W----- collapse? Horrors! My illusions of triumph are shattered in their infancy! I have wasted the whole study-hour dreaming into space of week-ends and i Christmas trees, and, vaguely, of subjects for English themes. Alas! have procrastinated again! What a sad story that is! But it is too late to remedy matters now, and too early to shed tears. The bell closing studyhall has aroused us with a jar, and my wonderful essay on “Bells” must go forever unwritten!

At last the time had come, and 1 found myself on the good ship “Ego,” sailing across the Sea oi Fancy- She seemed such a fine ship, and one that could carry me through anything. After some time at sea, wc came to a strange and impressive city, which 1 was told contained many novel and interesting sights. 1 took a sight-seeing bus and went first to a great museum, filled with immense cases and boxes of all sorts of things. They looked queer, and yet familiar Hesitatingly 1 examined one pile, gleaming and bristling in the sunlight. Why, how strange! It was all kinds of pins! And then I noticed a big sign over the entry which read, "Museum of Lost Things.” So that was where 1 was. Dear me, had all those pins been lost? Among them 1 saw a bar-pin I had lost a long time ago, but it was beyond my reach now. I here were millions ol those pins — straight pins, safety pins, beauty pins, hatpins, hairpins and all kinds 1 could think of. Another case displayed all the lost purses. 1 started counting them, but ga\ c up at nine thousand, three hundred and forty-two The next place 1 paused was by an exhibition of assignments lost. That made me think too much of harrowing bluffing and more harrowing flunking, so I passed it quickly. , I couldu t quite understand the next room at first. It contained many uolls, games of hide and seek, and London bridge; first school days; tiny dresses; buoyant fun; hair-ribbons; fairy-tale books; swings, imagination and tears. All about were slogans: "Let’s Pretend,” "Mama, I Want Some Candy,” "Once Upon a Time,” “Mustn’t Touch,” “Want to Go Bye-Bye with Auntie?” “Can I Have a I icce of Cake?” and "I Won’t Play.” Of course, it was my Lost Childhood and 1 regretfully turned away to enter a large apartment stocked with golf balls. 1 then entered a room hung with portraits and I realized with a pang, that they were of lost friends. How7 really few old friends were still my companions? How many had passed out of my life! lhc next thing I saw was a small cage, and found it to contain my lemper, which 1 had lost over and over again. Goodness!

In the Young Peoples’ Room were volumes telling of burning school buildings, dances lasting all night, all alarm clocks in the penitentiary; there were shelves full of books of the desires for independence, careers, days of seventy hours at least, and all play-time; pretty clothes and popularity. How 1 hated to leave it1 The next department drew me on, though, for it was the Grown-Ups Room, with wishes for accomplishment, service, beauty and strength. All through this part, however, were volumes of wishes for Youth. Ah, if Youth only knew! We hurried on from this wonderful place to see the city’s Woolworth building, or Skyscraper of Excuses. We mounted floor by lloor, and passed many crowded offices of various excuses: The Bridge Was Open, Ihc Clock Was Slow. 1 forgot.

I resolved that if ever l reached terra firma, 1 would never gain resort to Excuses. Our next stop was the Aquarium of Forgotten Things, In each little pool, floated myriad “Forgols” from all ages: Forgot- Mv- Book. Forgot-theAppointment, Forgot-to-Ecturn-Your- things, horgottcn-Pleasures, 1-orgottenDutics, Forgotten-Desires. Forgotten-Kindnesses, Forgotten-Faces, and all their many brothers and sisters We drove back along the fashionable shopping street, Would-Be-Avenue, with its elaborate front, hiding 1 knew not what. In confectionery windows I saw the candies and pastries of Little Pleasures, which are so good while they last, but which last so little; 1 saw gorgeous gowns below unpleasant faces ; I saw handsome Vehicles of Speed. But, somehow,. the Avenue didn’t have the same appeal to me that it did before, or else it didn t look quite th.c same, although I knew it was. Then I saw that always before I had looked through the wrong end of the glasses which had dwarfed Truth, and shown onlv Magnificence. Now 1 was seeing with a new instrument — Awakened Vision. How much more beautiful everything looked through that! We had to hurry to catch the boat, and I caught it just in time. I found I was returning on the ship “Tolerance,” and I was amazed at how much bigger and finer it was than “Ego.” The gunwales on Ego were so high that one could not see over them, but on “Tolerance” one commanded a very wide range of vision, and the windows were so large and numerous and had such a broad and pleasant outlook, that T was not cramped or re­ strictcd; and I found the other passengers very congenial. I had plentv of thoughts to occupy my mind until we arrived at the port of New Interest. I found myself drifting along with the crowd, and was surprised at how interesting everything and everyone was. I was happy to mingle with them, and to feel myself a part of their world as I threaded my way along toward the open country of Larger Understanding. r !• I J; l .

He was only a “cub reporter, best for the object frowned enough to know that when lie frowned, it was upon “Don't tell me " said the editor, "that "The Dispatch” or any other paper has beaten a “Times” reporter to a story! There’s more than one angle to a story. Yon ge, me a headliner on that Jade Necklace -Mystery before the paper goes to press, or look out!” With that the editor resumed his work. The despairing “cub” walked out hours to get the news. of the office. He glanced at his watch. Only three “Times” reporter wasn t Well, he’d get it; he would show the chief that a ever beaten. Now, this was exactly the attitude the editor had wanted him to take. He hadn’t had years of experience with green reporters for nothing. Will Hunter the reporter, straightened his shoulders and walked towart unatown, thc scene of the Jade Necklace Mystery, the greatest sensation ot Chinatown in years. Hunter ran over th cmain points to himself. Old wing Chow found dead in the Chinese temple with a crumpled note in lus hand, asking for the restoration of the jade necklace to some unknown person, and the sudden disappearance of the jade necklace of a wealthy widow. It was all very bewildering, the trail ended where it began, so it seemed The reporter entered a Chinese restaurant formerly run by the dead Wing Chow. He saw his rival from the “Dispatch,” a little, red-faced man, whose beady eyes and snub nose seemed to have the instinct for ferreting out the almost impossible. Hunter could see no use in staying where he and Stubbs would get practically the same news, He got up and started for the cashier to pay his bill. As he passed a table, around which four or five people were seated, he noticed that the women of the party wore a great deal of jade, not in a necklace, but in pins, rings, ear-rings, and other pieces of jewelry. All the stones were shaped a great deal like the beads in the missing necklace! His common sense at once told him that anyone who would wear the missing jade so near the scene of the crime, would be fool­ hardy. Hunter didn’t intend to take any chances, however. He quickly formed his campaign. He loitered casually up to the cashier, paid his bill, engaged in conversation with her for a few minutes, and sauntered out as though he had all the time in the world. Once outside the building, his whole aspect changed. He pulled his cap down over his forehead, brought side­ burns and a moustache from his pocket, and put them on, lit a cigarette, and with all the scenery ready, waited for “things to happen.” He looked the typical street-roamer, his shoulders drooped, and alto­ gether he had the air of one of the party at the table. Things were not long in happening. The party came out of the restau­ rant, crossed the street and entered a building that had more than once been the scene of a crime; it had come into the public eye again as the place -I i 1 �S p l V l) t r i where Wing Chow had been murdered. The Chinese temple was on the s a * -L,- top floor. After making sure that his revolver was loaded, Hunter followed, the stairs were old and broken, making it difficult to follow silently. Hnally, they reached the top, and turned to the left, lhe temple was at the light down a long, dark passage. The passage they were following was equally as dark and broken in many places by doorways. Hunter could only trust to luck and the dark that no one would come out and sec him. At last the end was reached, and some swinging doors pushed open. Hunter discovered that the temple ran in a sort of semi-circle on one side of the floor, and this was the other end of it. If he could only get in behind them and listen to, their conversation, lie felt sure that the clue would be found. He glanced at his watch. Only two hours! He would certainly have to hurry. He stealthily made his way toward the other end. When about hall way to the staircase, a door opened. By the light inside he could see that the “Someone” was a Chinaman, and the room a part of the temple. So it was on that side. He waited until the Chinaman disappeared, then slowly. revolver in hand, he opened the door, Oriental draperies, incense and soft lights greeted him. It was a pleasant shock after the dark, dirty passage. I-Ie crept slowlv toward his object. In front of him was a statue of Buddha; before it. a small Chinese girl, her head touching the floor. It she would only remain that way, lie might get by! Not far from him. Hunter saw a Chinese kimona. If he could only get it! He slipped his hat and moustache off. The next moment he was in the guise of a Chinaman, He continued with renewed courage. The girl had I ■ i l ! : ' : ■ I; . i l 1 not raised her head. Hunter reached the part of the temple where the thieves, as he was now convinced they were, were seated around a table in a less pretentious place than he had just passed through. The only Oriental setting was a screen, which the reporter managed to get behind by crawling along the floor back of a number of chairs. It took Hunter about ten minutes to learn that Wing Chow' had been a receiver for lhe necklace and had refused to give it up to the gang who had stolen il The note in his hand was merely a “blind'' lor the police. Hunter quickly retraced his footsteps, passed the devout Ch.nese 8*1. and went out into the passage where he came face to face with his rival Stubbs of The Dispatch!” Grinning, he slipped the kimono oft and handed it to Stubbs, whispering “You'll need it.” and rushed down the stairs. He went first to the police station and then hurried to The Times editor It had taken him just two hours! “The Evening Times” headlines ran, “Jade Mystery Solved. “The Times” had scored again!

The first thing that I really do remember shows that I must have been born under an unlucky star. It happened one day when my colored nurse had taken me out in my buggy for a delightful ride. A black cat walked right across the sidewalk in front of my buggy! Scared? Why, ’Liza Jane (that was nurse’s name) turned my carriage around so fast that I fell right out on the sidewalk and gave my head an awful whack It’s a wonder I’m not dead and buried right now! But, then, my head was always tough. 1 remember how scared ’Liza Jane was, even now, and that was many years ago. She picked me up and dumped me back into my buggy before anyone could wink, And then I remember my mother bathing my head with something that felt very cool and nice, and crying over me and scolding ’Liza Jane at the same time. And then, the next thing that comes to my mind, was the time I ran away from home. 1 walked and walked for miles, it seemed to me. And then, all of a sudden, out from behind some brush at the side of the road, emerged what seemed to me. a giant cow. larger than any I’d ever seen before. I began to run, and the cow followed me. The faster f tried to run, the closer he seemed. Finally, just as was about exhausted, 1 stumbled and fell. That is all I can remember until I found myself on my little bed at home feeling very stilt and sore all o\ cr. Mother never told me what had happened, and in two weeks I was as well as ever, and just as ready to get into mischief. But. the sad climax of that runaway was, that mother tied me to the clothesline every morning after breakfast. After that. 1 remember running all over the house after breakfast, col­ lecting all my favorite toys, "so I’d have something to play with after I was tied up. Then, one afternoon, mother untied me, after making me promise that I’d never be naughty again, and gave me a perfectly lovely bath and dressed me all up in a lovely new white dress, for, she said, “my uncle was coming to visit and he’d want to see me all white and clean.” I walked primly about the yard for fully five minutes, and then, not ior once intending to do wrong, went out to the barn to sec if J could find any eggs. 1 went up the narrow stairs to the hayloft, and after looking in vain for egP» decided there weren’t any. During mv futile search, I had managed to get cobwebs and pieces of straw and hay, not to mention a few burrs here and there, in my hair and over my clothes. And then I cppec too c ose to the hole through which they pitched the hay, down into c mangers, and down I went, landing in a large nest of eggs which a hen een setting on, I was certainly no less than a mess when I finally managed to climb out of the manger. And when mother saw me! Well, she decided at once that I needed a regular old-fashioned spanking. I was also put right to bed with bread and water for supper. I wasn’t even allowed to see nn much-loved uncle who had brought me a lovely present, which I didn’t get to see until a month afterward. I �1 £) t l ji It i r 19 This present, I found at the end of the month, to be a darling pony. Mother, I think, sighed a little at the thought of it, but I was in the seventh heaven of delight. After several falls on niv head, and a great number of aches and pains in numerous parts of my body, mother decided that the pony was too much for me, and he was sent away with many wails and lamentations on my part. I always was unlucky! After roaming listlessly about the house for three or four days, thinking direful thoughts of how “I'd get even with her,'' 1 decided to try running away again for a change. This time, however, 1 packed a bag full of toys, the only things 1 then believed were useful, and set out, this time through the woods. Then 1 remembered a much-dreaded stream which it was nccessary to cross. There was the bridge — only a large log which had fallen across it, making an easy passageway for most people — but for an unlucky youngster such as 1, it was impossible. However, I decided to try it. I carefully ventured halfway across and then began to lose my balance. My bag hampered me, as 1 tottered from side to side, no sooner regaining my balance on one side than losing it on the other, hirst, I dropped my bag, and then I went in after it. Splash! 1 found myself in muddy water up to my waist. 1 tried to climb out, but the bank was so muddy and slippery I couldnt’. l tried again and again, but all in vain. It began to grow dark and itwas cold — standing waist-deep in icy water. I called, but I was. 1 thought of no one heard me. I shallnever forget how frightened everybody at home, how quiet and cheerful it was there. Ihey wouldn t care if I were drownded or swallowed by some huge fish. More than likely they’d be glad to be rid of me — such a pest as 1 wasalways getting into trouble, and having to be scolded or spanked or sent to bed all die time. And then I thought of my little bed —all nice and ready for me. That was where I’d be if 1 hadn’t ran away like this, and fallen in a muddy stream. And 1 promised myself over and over again that if I’d ever get out, that I’d be as good as gold and would never do anything bad again —ever! sleepv and I kept slipping down, down, down. I Then !

HERE lived, on a lonely moor, in a little liut, an old, old, old woman who was very good, but exceedingly poor. Her neighbors knew her by no other name than Miriam, and bore a great contempt for her, ignoring her as much as possible. She was very lonely, but finally, one cold winter night, a poor little waif, who could not find shelter at the other more prosperous cottages, knocked at her door and was made welcome. After that, Miriam grew to love the little girl so much that she was no longer lonely. T ♦ r There was only one thing which worried the old woman. There was a tradition in the nearby village, that upon the one who brought the most beautiful gift to the church on Christmas Day, would fall a golden ray of light from the cross, which stood upon the altar. Miriam was so poor that she could give nothing, and it pained her a great deal to feel that she would not be able to present a gift. She was so old that she felt her life to be nearly over, and would have liked to bring her last offering. On Christmas Day, many people were gathered in the little village church, and a number of gifts were presented. Some brought gold and silver, others cosily incense, and one man, a tall waxen figure of intricate handiwork. A group of shepherds offered snow-white lambs, and many people brought in great masses of holly and ivy. Everyone took care to make the occasion one of great ceremony and display, and the presents were arranged as conspicuously as possible. But on no one was there shed a single ray of light. ■/) V When all the gifts had been offered, Miriam came slowly forward and knelt. “Saviour,” she said, “I have nothing to offer Thee but love.” And from the cross, a golden ray of light fell upon her bowed head. ■ * * * * * The little hut on the moor is empty now7, and the neighbors often think how strange it is that they could miss Old Miriam.

The dewdrops were shining and sparkling; The sleepy buds lifted their heads. Gay daffodils, tulips and larkspur, Lay riotous in their green beds. The apple tree spread its knarled branches, All heavy with pink and white bloom; O’er the Night Fairies drowsily resting From their dance by the light of the moon. Now along came a gust of Wind Fairies; The mischievous, fun-loving miles — And seeing the elfs lying sleeping, Made a plan to affright the sprites. They ruffled and rustled the branches, And flew in and out in such glee. That the petals fell drifting, and tumbling, Till not an elf could I see! Buried so deep in the petals, They awoke in a panic of fright, And pushing their little heads upward, They called on the butterflies bright. To their aid came these little winged creatures, And fluttered so near to the mound That, by struggling and striving, the fairies Could just reach their backs from the ground. Away they went, fluttering and flying. And I wonder if any will say That they were not moths and fairies — But just apple-blossoms floating away? * Deborah Ball, ’27. , i; t. r ! 1 ! i ; ■ ..

In early days, the small number of immigrants, and the great amount ol uninhabited lands, gave rise to no perplexing problem. But now, with the immigrants coming by hundreds, and thousands, the question has become a serious one. The immigrant alien has been discussed by the Anglo-Saxon, as it he were an Anglo-Saxon “problem”; by labor, as if he were a labor “problem”; and by the sociologist, as if lie were a social “problem.” Occasionally, he has been discussed from the point of view of the alien, and but rarely from the point of view of democracy. In truth, the immigration problem is the problem of Americanizing America. Many authorities today attribute the unrest m the United States to the discontent of the immigrant class, and their seeming inability to absorb the traditions of our country. The immigrant problem resolves itself into, not primarily an ethic or religious problem, but principally an economic onc. The influx of immigrants has been classified into two groups — the old and from Northern Europe, driven from home by the new. The early ones came economic or social oppression, They were a hard-working, thrifty people, who came to better their own condition, and to make this their permanent home. In their own country, their progress and ideals had been hampered, by overlords. Besides bettering their economic condition, they desired much greater freedom in carrying out their high ideals as to law, education, and religion. The early immigrant found a broad continent awaiting him, peopled only by Indians. He becum- “ hi^S belong to anyone produce. He became the master, It is this economic freedom that distmguishes the “old” immigration from -he new. The immigrant of today comes mainly from Central, and Southern Europe, more y. :id from the' Asiatic countries. Here, too, the problem is economic, the northern countries, because the present day lmmientirely than that of crants come here many times, not to make this their permanent home, but to make as much money as possible, and then return to become wealthy men to make wliere the cost of living is generally lower than here. in their own It is difficult for these races to assimilate, as their standards, and customs Then, too, they are, for the most of living, arc much different from ours. are less available in their educational opportunities part, illiterate, because own countries. moral and economic, have resulted from the heretofore Many evils, both unrestricted mass of immigrants, Managers of large corporations, in conjunction with vessel owners, have paid the passages of aliens, and estab- A ; i i c * .‘v �- ::: 34 ■ ■i i i / ■ ■ ■<\ r&t ■ 7. i :v-§ F' 1 ; SI 11 p If t r lishecl them in the tenements near manufacturing districts, and in the mining towns, the employer to obtain cheap labor, and vessel owners, passengers. Low wages, uncertain work, and congested living, arc conducive to low morals. Their disappointment in finding their hopes for better economic conditions and greater opportunities thwarted, makes them an easy prey to radical labor agitators, and Bolshevism. In considering the two types of immigrants, it is believed that the North­ ern immigrant has shown better qualities for assimilation than those from the second group. It has seemed advisable to limit the numbers of immigrants to three per cent of each nationality represented here. As there is a larger population representing those from Northern Europe, their limitation tends to curtail the number from Southern Europe and Asia. Now, too, the im­ migration laws are stricter concerning the exclusion of the illiterate, and mentally and physically diseased. Much must be said in behalf of the present-day immigrant. It must be remembered that the immigrants, up to about 1890, could obtain free land. It seems to me that, if the immigrant of today were given an unsettled con­ tinent to colonize, they would perhaps develop characteristics similar to the early immigrants. As long as we arc dependent on the immigrant masses for work in mines and factories, it seems only fair to assist them to better their condition, and make them feel that they, too, share in America’s progress. One of the most far-reaching ways of accomplishing this is the Americanization classes for both men and women. The attendance in these classes show us that the immigrant himself is eager to learn, and thus better his owii condition. Then, to relieve the congestion in the cities, the government should establish those immigrants who show a tendency towards fanning, on government free lands, advancing them money to equip the farm. This method has been used in Australia, and some of the South American countries, and has proved very successful. Too. it is necessary that we should establish banks, where the immigrants can deposit their money safely, thus keeping much money in our own country that might otherwise be sent out. The need of this is shown by the fact that the depositors in the Postal Savings Banks are practically all farmers. If these considerations are shown the immigrants, many of our problems, and bitter feelings between classes, will be eliminated. If America is to be for Americans, we must all strive and aim to make real Americans of all -those who are within our borders. Evelyn Meyers, ’25. > i 4 h fed �(gifts to tbr ^rbool t. I o NE of the most recent and beautiful gifts to our school is the statue presented to us by the Failing family. The old Failing home, for many years one of the landmarks of Portland, has been sold. Several members of the family were students at the Hall, and Miss Henrietta Failing is an active member of the Alumnae. When they left their old home, they remembered their Alma Mater, and gave the Hall their exquisite work of art. The figure by Simmons, is of alabaster and is mounted on a marble pedestal, which rcvolvcs so that one may see all sides. It is called “The Wanderer,” and represents the loneliness of the children of Israel in the wilderness; hence the despondent expression.

Said one, running by at a terrific pace, “And my hair’s not combed at all,” Said another, speeding down the hall. And, oh, the clatter on the stairs ’Ere the last girl slid into prayers.

St. Helen's Hall was an all-girls school that pre-dated Oregon Episcopal School. In 1969, the yearbook evolved into The Legend-Delphic with the addition of Bishop Dagwell Hall and male student attendees. After 1986 the yearbook branding begins to singularly list "OES" with a few volumes referencing "The Delphic" or "The Legend Delphic". Yearbooks helped to chronicle the school year's events and activities, in addition to listing each student and staff member.

May your years al the Hall have brought you understanding — the knowledge that our lives are not patterned by the circumstances and events which enter into them. They are determined, rather, by the manner in which we receive these experiences; by our point of view concerning them; by the intelligence and honesty, the courage and the idealism which we apply to the living of them. But this wish of mine for you is more than a desire for your future growth; it is a conviction of your present achievement. This past year has been a testing time — and you have measured well. This was a year which might, as we looked back upon it Commencement night, have been a year of dismal lack of fulfill­ ment or one of glorious and soul-satisfying climax. To your lasting credit, it has been the latter. There has never been a moment's faltering in your determination that everything in the year's activity should reach the apex of all that we have always wanted it to be. I am deeply and lastingly proud of you. Although this is a message to the graduating class, I know that not a sophomore would want me to refrain from paying tribute to a fine and loyal freshman class. Never has a class more readily or more speedily caught the spirit of the Hall, and never have freshmen shown greater evidence of loyalty and devotion to the Standards of St. Helen's Hall". And not a student, Sophomore or Freshman, but would want to join with me in paying tribute to the most capable, understanding, and devoted Faculty that any college could have. My final wish for you who are graduates is that you may apply to every problem and to every situa­ tion that life offers you the zest, determination, courage, and steadfastness of which you have given such manifold evidence during the year. Holding fast to these qualities, you cannot fail to progress unfalteringlyv "Onward, ever onward". My heart will be with you. �t E e e e e t t e £ e ESTHER E.

Dear Graduates: It is my privilege to congratulate the Graduating tL' Class of 1947. It is with mixed emotions that you, the L last class to graduate from St. Helen's Hall Junior college, are sent on to further learning and experience. We believe that you are ready. We believe, however, that there are other things that you must remember V S-* besides the learning which you have received here. You will always remember the Hall through the friends you have gained. All will be alumnae, united by common memories and experiences. Keep alive those friendships you have formed during your years at the Hall, because, as you advance in years, those with whom you can £ fci i; reminisce over common experiences will be more valued. Remember the Christian religion, which, when truly fc: presented, encourages the increase of knowledge and good learning. Take an active part in the work of some Christian church, remembering that it is important to develop your minds only because you have souls. The Lord be with you. Amen. Sincerely, The Reverend L.

Each day was filled to the brim with activities ranging from exams to more exams (both mental and phys­ ical!), discussions on campus life, faculty and student get-acquainted teas, a chile party, a weiner roast, a scav­ enger hunt, and a skit given by Delta Psi Omega Mental phenomena finally slowed down as ever-so-weary ~t9 -i freshmen and sophomores were whisked off to an outing at Everglades on Lake Oswego. Swimming, boat­ ing — that's the life! This was a week to remember1 College life really started in earnest the following week. Ambitious freshmen carried massive piles of 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 books around, while more experienced sophomores looked on with superior and amused smiles. $ will we forget the joyous times we ve had here and the days that held so much of both work and play. We f Then the half-dreaded, half-anticipated night of freshman initiation arrived, as did the freshmen in maid and butler uniforms Such a hectic evening! We lived through it, but only that! The days became filled with frantic rushes to make eight o'clock classes on Monday morning, and we quietly suffered through those three-hour labs. We gave a return party for the sophs at the Hallowe'en Barn Dance, articulated by a gay-nineties theme. As the days sped by, we became a real part of the dances, parties, sports, games, and teas that took place. We struggled through term papers, final exams, and warning slips and became even more intimate with our fellow ‘‘strugglers”! Then spring wafted in, together with the first daisies in the Quad, and the air was filled with dances, Campus Day, the May Fete, the musicale, and finally Baccalaureate, Torchlight, and Commencement. Never know the Hall has given us a fuller and more perfect life. i �-T r. rE cs1 lr: OTUtHT v^iTC-.

Its emblem is a deep blue maltese cross, which symbolizes service and Angelas ideals of worthwhile living. Angelas members particularly endeavor to make for bewildered freshmen a little less mystifying entrance into college. Summer get-togethers were held at Everglades to help both sophomores and freshmen become acquainted. Freshman week, Angelas' responsibility, introduced new students to the ways of the Hall and the spirit of the Hall. The Christmas season brings with it the annual reunion of Angelas alums and members. This celebra tion took the form of a Christmas breakfast at the home of Mrs. Fariss, the food being not only served by the Angelas girls but prepared by them as well, giving them an opportunity to practice their culinary arts. Love and sweet things come on Valentine's day, and so does Mrs. Fariss' birthday. As the girls all gathered around her and sang "Happy Birthday to You", she was acknowledged as Angelas girl-of-themonth. Each and every holiday brought a student-faculty party in the "rec" room. Angelas girls being hostesses. Angelas' beguiling witches stewed and chanted over the brew of hot chocolate at Hallowe'en, assisted in the after-cider tableau of Bessie, the Best Dern Cow a Farmer Ever Had at Thanksgiving, sang carols at Christmas, and were the perpetrators of an all-college April Fool ' program. Scoring another activity-plus year, Angelas members can well be proud of the fun they have provided, in the course of their efforts really to live the Spirit of St. Helen's Hall. �3 3 3 3 3 -w 3 ! 3 :3 i 3 i 3 -3 -3 -3 J .3 3 f3 ’] F .

Each year, Forum strives to add beauty to the Quad by planting flowers. Get-togethers are really supper parties at the homes of the various members. It is really not necessary to hold business meetings, as Forum s work is done at school — but we do so love to eat! As they leave the Hall, Forum members will carry with them, deep in their hearts, a glowing conception of the |oy of service. The inner satisfaction derived from their work will indeed be a lasting one. 3 .3 3 3 3 3 i 3 3 : t ! �f £ rf ri c: !■ ri f t:; t \; r : I r: t: ; r ■ I : r: i n t! ! r i I r—* 71 71 n □ ' : DELTA PSI OMEGA The Katherine Cornell cast of Delta Psi Omega, national fraternity in dramatic art, was founded by those in the College who maintained an active interest in the creative arts of the theatre. They carried this interest into life itself, since the stage is inspired by life, and members of this year's cast hope to follow in the same path. Membership is granted to those who give freely of their time and efforts to the dramatic activities of the year, who have maintained high scholastic standing, and who have carried out their respon­ sibilities as pledges. r~i Traditionally, Delta Psi Omega presents dramatic entertainment during Freshman Week. This year Just Call It Evolution" featured the Delta Psi girls in various aspects of school life, as St. Helen's Hall appeared in 1896 and 1946. "Burt's Bakery," our favorite haunt, featured cookies as refreshments. < November brought "The Faces of Dekka" and good fortunes for all. Far-seeing Delta Psis foretold the future, while others served Chinese tea and rice cakes, thus depleting the treasury considerably. During iarwjary and April, with the production of Stage Door and Blithe Spirit, Delta Psi members were given the opportunity to test their artistry in creating roles. 71 C] 1 i r ' 71 71 7 r ? With April came the solemn beauty of initiation, the fulfillment of the pledges' hopes, as they become members of Delta Psi Omega. June, with the blooming of the first rose, brings with it each year the Awards Tea and the recognition of those who have most truly lived Delta Psi ideals. As summer comes and members of Delta Psi go their separ­ ate ways, they will leave one another, as always in the past, with their "hearts bound together in this one brotherhood" and the ideals of Delta Psi alive within each one ' rr^ 77 rr~ �r £ ! 3 £ 3 3 3 3 ! ■ 3 I 3 3 3 3 a S'; 3 3 3 3 a a 3 E 3 g ? 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 UNDERSTUDY CLUB Understudy Club, sponsored by Delta Psi Omega, has an active part in the dramatic life of the College. From it comes everything from the "screaming voice heard offstage" to the ticket-takers at the door. Mem­ bership is open to all who are willing to give proof of this dramatic talent before an open meeting. Installation of new officers is made impressive with vows taken by candle light, in which each officer promises to uphold the ideals of the Hall in the theatre. Taking its cue from the Delta Psi sponsors, the nesv group plans its own program of activities. The group this year was well represented both offstage and on in Delta Psi's stunt night production, "The Faces of Dekka", and in the Christmas program Then came the weeks of rehearsals for Stage Door, the winter production. Many of the Understudies had lines to learn as well as curtains to pull and sets to arrange. Not to be forgotten is the delicious coffee they served at Saturday morning rehearsals For fun, Understudy's Valentine date dance at the Lakehouse was "tops". Long-remembered, too, will be the slumber party in March, at which the old-timers feted new members with a pot-luck supper. Spring, appropriately enough, brought with it Blithe Spirit. Understudy came to the rescue once more with costumes and "props" and time and patience. Understudy members are proud of those of their group who are Delta Psi Omega pledges and ore more than ever fascinated by the possibilities of the stage. All are determined to carry into the coming year their zestful interest in the theatre �: 1 ! : : . - ■. 7V: * * < - ly- RESIDENCE HOUSE September once again set the residence house, popularly known as the "Dorm , buzzing with activity. Girls from all over Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and even far off Montreal, Canada, unpacked their bags in its rooms and planned, as they said, "to stay awhile Shrieks of What luck — I get a room of my own breezed out the windows. Gathered around a cheery fireplace, the girls became better acquainted with Miss Burch, their house counselor, were told of previous existing rules of the house, and then established a few of their own. This was the first of many such pleasant "firesides. The Mothers' Silver Tea, various club meetings, initiations, and informal group discussions found their setting in the attractive living rooms of the "Dorm More than a few times the "Dorm" girls were hostesses for such enjoyable affairs. The dormitory not only served as a college home for its residents but also offered a sanctuary to any and all day students whose desire it was to rest their weary bones — or who just wanted an excuse to get in a "gabfest All in all, the residence house has stood for two good old American words — fun and home! �3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 : 3 * a r: y * i t 5 t CHORUS Chorus acknowledged, with great enthusiasm, the opening of the fall term of '46. Sopranos, second sopranos, and altos ushered in what proved to be a year of musical festivity. Under the able direction of Mrs. Feme Epler, Chorus spent a great part of the first term feverishly pre­ paring and rehearsing for the Christmas program. The theme, effectively chosen and presented, was “One World at Christmas Representatives from the junior college, high school, and lower school depicted through song, pantomime, and modern interpretative dancing, the Yuletide traditions and spirit of many lands. Erstwhile "saddle and "loafer clad" girls were transformed into gray-robed carolers. After much effort French, Spanish, and Chinese Christmas carols were mastered and presented by the group. "Silent Might", sung in Chinese, was received with enthusiasm. But cur grand finale was Handel s mighty Halelujah Chorus from the Messiah, in which all the choruses |oined in a fitting conclusion to our first all-school Christmas program. 3 r.3 A change to chic black dresses and precious nylons came as the Chorus sang for the Mothers’ Club annual Silver Tea, held on St. Valentine's Day at the Residence House. We all sang our best, hoping that our mothers would think we were really professional. 3 With a final burst of activity, the College Singers presented a Spring musical. Audience approval stamped the program an unquestioned success and a fitting climax to a year of delightful music interludes. r: n 3 l t i i3 i, �! ' r! Ei Sq ] H ■ t! 1 t! 'I t: * : I n r: 1 i : r • n i :' si t !: SCINTILLA STAFF Once again the sophomore class, just bubbling over with ideas, set out to make their year book, the Scintilla, the best ever. With high hearts and fervent hope they undertook to “scintillate" their Scintilla, spic­ ing it with a little fun, adding the spirit of real friendship, and blending in the college's cherished traditions All efforts were combined to squeeze as much as possible of the two chuck-packed years of college life into one cherished record. Officers were elected and appointed and immediately began to work/ The Ad staff, composed almost solely of peppy and willing freshmen, sprang into step and invaded various places of business in strong numbers. “Quickies" were constantly being held in the sanctuary of Mrs. Fariss' office by the staff’s advice seekers. Scintillas of other years received a good dusting off, as the staff thumbed through them to gather a few more intriguing ideas. An art contest was sponsored by the Staff to intensify the already enthusiastic activity. Sophomores rushed down for their appointments at the photographers, and in turn the photographers came to the campus to take activity pictures. All subjects obliged as the black-hooded camera clicker announced the “birdie", and all willingly said “cheese." Indecision followed decision, and again decision followed indecision as choices had to be made in regard to what “bits" would be included in the annual. And eager questions of, “Do you like this proof better than that one? Please tell me; I'm fran­ tic!" were exchanged by distracted sophomores. At last all important conclusions were reached, and the Class of 1947 reached the climax of its great adventure. The Scintilla was sent to the printer! Breathing became easier! Now it's just a matter of having every one sign every one's else Scintilla. Nostalgic students will take last precautions to tuck this memoir gently away, so that the beloved experiences of days at the Hall may be relived during the years to come. > < n i : i ai S : 3' i ir~i :i t■ ; t* I t 6 !

The men duly showed their appreciation by sending fan letters and by pre­ senting the group with a Red Cross overseas make-up kit. A different theme was carried through each show. At first we Thespians and singers assumed roles of dark-eyed, fortune-telling gypsies. "Doin' what comes naturally", we later became hill-billy folks. At Christ mas we were transformed into china dolls and stuffed toy animals, carrying out our Toyshop theme. This cheery little Christmas program also took us to Veterans' Hospital in Portland, to a large group of French Merchant Seamen, and to the Pisgah Home for Old People. A carload of girls got lost on the way to the Home, but the show must and did go on! The winter term ushered in shoot-them-straight, dead-eye-Dick cowgirls, and spring brought lacy, frilly gay 90 s damsels. We could put on a show anytime, anywhere, with Miss Clifford and Mrs. Roy being our chief ''finger-crossers". The Hall s Gray Lady Junior Hostesses made their bow for the first time this year, after an eighthour course in hospital procedure had been com­ pleted at the local Red Cross center. Nine girls in trim gray and white uniforms performed library and general office work at Veterans' Hospital, one of our favorite "let's-get-lost" places! Free movies on movie nights were the reward of these hostesses. F.A.W.S.A.P. (now take a deep breath — First Aid, Water Safety, and Accident Prevention — ex­ hale) also made its debut this year, as girls received life-saving instruction at the swimming center. And the "Foods" girls, under Miss Landquist's instructions, received credit for their study of nutrition. All in all, the Red Cross Unit had, as you can see, a year jam-packed with entertaining and helping young, old, and inbetweeners. But the biggest thrill of all was that deep-down good feeling inside which came to the girls with the knowledge that they were making a sunnier world for some one else. ! �I. R. C. International Relations Club, popularly and conveniently abbreviated lo I. R. C., is the group that have a good chance, twice a month, to air their opinion on current world affairs, whether they be concerned with permanent world peace or the much-debated question of whether eighteen-year-olds be given the right to vote. Sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, I R C.'s purpose is to promote the study of international relations. To further this interest the Endowment provides the Club with current books and information on world affairs. These books gather no dust, as members put them to constant use when­ ever they find a spare minute. Two Hall delegates were sent to the Northwest Regional I. R. C. Conference at Marylhurst College. And we again were one of the thirty-one colleges that were represented at the Pacific Northwest College Con­ gress held on the Reed College campus- The purpose of this Congress is to promote and stimulate student thinking concerning world problems. Resolutions were brought back to the student body and again discussed Our share of funds toward the Student Congress was raised when I R. C. members auctioned off boxlunches in the “rec" room. The lucky ones who captured chicken sandwiches were the envy of every one less fortunate. May came round the corner and beckoned I. R. C to the sponsorship of its annual Cotton Day. Hopeful aspirants paraded the stage in perky cotton dresses, home-made and store-bought, with the confessed am­ bition of winning first prize. Fashion connoisseurs (faculty members in disguise) tried to remain unprejudiced as they viewed all these enticing creations. But at last two were chosen — Queens for a day! Yet, despite all the fun of the college year, I. R. C. is most vitally concerned with world problems of today, what the world of tomorrow will be like, and how we can make this world a more peaceful and better place in which to live.

Our innocent yet tempting purpose was soon perceived by the alert student body, and immediately Studio was pounced upon for favors of decorating for this—and that—and this! Eager members joyously accepted each and every project. Two meetings were held each month, one a social meeting at one of the member’s homes, amidst the munching of cake and French pastry, Mrs. Roy doing the pouring, and the other a down-right energetic work meeting held in the Art "Lab At such times we came equipped with scissors, needles, thread, and other paraphanalia to further our creative urge. Initiation ushered in new and eager members amid a candle-1 it setting of daffodils. After her pledging, the new member received the insignia of Studio Club—a tiny gold palate pin. Five-cent fines were enforced for not wearing the pin at each and every meeting. Excuses all the way from "It was lost in the washing machine" to "My boy friend has if were heartlessly rejected during the course of the year! 3 The year meteored off by decorating for the Hallowe'en Barn Dance. Hobgoblins, sassy-looking o-lanterns, cornstalks, and the red-blooded ideal yokel, Li'l Abner, were featured. 3 3 To prove we had the true Yuletide spirit, we gathered palms and wreaths and bedecked a huge Christ­ mas tree with glittering ornaments for the Christmas Formal at Trinity Parish Hall—soft lights—sweet music— ah romance! 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 One fairy wand after another touched off mental wizardries, as ideas materialized for the Valentine's Dance. Fluorescent hearts sparkled out "Be My Valentine," "I Love You," and "If You Were the Only Girl in the World." Old St. Valentine himself couldn't have done better! 3 a Jack- The wheels in these great artistic minds spun even more rapidly, producing ideas for the Spring Formal and the May Fete, with Studio girls becoming stage hands, deck hands —. All hands worked feverishly to make their last project, artistically speaking, their crowning success! Yes! Versatility is our motto! �r H-CLUB Contagious enthusiasm, rosy cheeks, and that "grand-to-be-alive’' feeling are all essential ingredients which, put together, will produce a good H-Club member As one might guess from such a delectable recipe, H-Club fosters all of the athletic activities of St. Helen's Hall Junior College. October ushered in sixteen new members with a candle-light initiation. Soon many girls were the proud wearer of sweaters. After earning a sufficient number of points, these members were awarded their red and blue "H s". Under the watchful eye of Mrs. Janet Soderberg, their adviser, and other interested onlookers, the waterdogs ducked and dived in the swimming pool. Female Robin Hoods tucked bows and arrows under their arms. And just as enthusiastically H-Club members hiked; played badminton, volley ball, and basket ball; competed in ping pong and tennis tournaments; and attempted to perfect their horsemanship Christmas vacation, so eagerly awaited, finally arrived, and members soiourned to Timberline Lodge Skiing over slick and crusty snow, glistening in the sun, resulted in casualties — but no matter! What a life1 The girls retired on cots, on the floor, and in sleeping bags and proved themselves entirely self-sufficient by cooking their own food May Day brought with it the usual delightful melody of Spring Fever. H-Club girls, however, were busily preparing for one of the most festive occasions of the whole year The May Fete, with all of its tra­ ditional merry making, paid graceful and ceremonial homage to St. Helen’s lovely May Court. In traditional manner, this gala night marked the climax of H-Club's activities for the year. These activities, however, with all of the newlyacquired skills in sports, only point the way to a zestful summer vacation and to fun-filled months ahead �" 51 5 23 2! 23 2j 2! 2j =3 23 i 23 1 23 23 23 3 3 3 23 23 MAY FETE i 7.i Fetching girls and come-a fetching clothes magically spiced and sprinkled St. Helen's Hall Junior !

The chorus chimed in with many a merry tune to add to the festivity. Where entertainment departed, Open House entered — and Queen Beverly and her princesses four made a royal inspection of the exhibits of a year's work by the subjects of St. Helen's Hall. Oil landscapes and murals, slides under microscopes, and literary pieces were shown and explained to the Court and honored guests by formally-gowned subjects. Mantilla-clad senoritas sang "canciones" from Spain. With the serving of tempting tid-bits, mixed with bubbling conversation, the embers burned down to memories, and pleased guests departed with thoughts of the Kingdom of St. Helen's Hall deeply impressed upon their minds. �-# STAGE DOOR STAGE DOOR by Edna Ferber and George Kaufman was produced by the Junior College Players, January 17 and 18, with the male roles filled by players from Vanport Extension College The story of a boarding house for aspiring actresses with their various successes and failures, this play presents an excel­ lent opportunity for young drama students to demonstrate their talents. Perhaps the largest cast ever to tread the boards of Scadding Hall sent capacity audiences into chuckles of laughter, and in several scenes brought a lump or two to the throats of the spectators Jeral Ohlemeier as Terry and Anne Gabriel as Kaye quickly captured the sympathy of the audience and never for an instant lost their interest and understanding. Merri|ane Owens as Mrs. Orcutt and Mary Lou Helmer as Judith portrayed their humorous characters in a manner to get the most from each line and piece of business. The Technique of Acting class and fourteen members from the Voice and Diction classes provided an excellent supporting cast. The entire production compared favorably with other college performances in the Northwest and was a credit to the director, Miss Dorothy Clifford. �nun 3 3 ■3 -3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 BLITHE SPIRIT The second full length production of the year, BLITHE SPIRIT by Noel Coward, was presented April 24 and 25 in Scaddmg Hall The hilarious farce is concerned with a happily married British novelist, who is writing a story involving the supernatural. He has the inspiration of asking Madame Arcati, the local me­ dium, to demonstrate a seance The whole thing is pretty much of a failure and the guests depart, leaving Charles and his wife Ruth alone, but not for long. They are soon |oined by the spirit of Elvira, Charles' first wife, who is visible and audible only to him. Members of the Technique of Acting class, assisted by Eugene Anderson from Portland University, 3 kept audiences both nights on the edge of their seats with their expert portrayal of this insane farce.

As we grow older, we may often lose sight of the magic light of beauty. But sooner or later we all realize its ethereal presence How easy it is to lose for a moment our realization of beauty 3 and the ultimate truths derived from it But like fading music and summer rain, the memory of it somehow 3 clings to us. 3 3 -t We may look upon physical beauty and be warmed, but ultimate perfection lies beyond the ephemeral moment. It is an intrinsic part of a far greater pattern of life. If we can envision loveliness in our hearts, no matter how much we are tried by life's adversities, beauty and the ultimate spiritual truths to which its leads will always be within us. 3 Now we come to the end and the beginning. But the end and the beginning are one. Thus we may re­ 3 capture the beauty we have known thus far and continue on life's way — our spirits filled with beauty, our 3 hearts filled with truth. 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 i —NANCY STARKWEATHER. i | I ■ ; �W I I 1 11 E! Morning Mood Home is in the country on the slope of a small hill, overlooking a valley with majestic snow-covered mountains in the distance, keeping their vigil over fruitful farms, forests, and rivers.

The street lights cast a pale yellow glow in this sea of hovering darkness. Hours grew and the night thickened and wavered. The still atmosphere was intensified by the low moan of a thousand wailing night sounds. They seemed like lost ghostly children, mourning at the gates of paradise. Hate, fear, and bitterness floated in waves of vapor s t■ 0 £5 around the lambent post. A shadowy semblance of a ghoul flitted into the circle of light and hovered It" momentarily.

I i it ■ �^5 > a a ■ ■ Advice from on Expert i P H k b i ■3 :1 a a a 3 Perseverance, they tell me, is one of those attributes of a well-balanced personality that we must culti­ vate. Week after week countless girls from the Hall — no doubt with this objective in mind — still keep trying to ski. Since I have had extensive experience in this sport (I went skiing for the third time two weeks ago), I feel qualified to give a little advice to beginners. The aspiring ski enthusiast should arise very early on the morning of her departure for the hills, in order to arrive by afternoon. Usually the bus driver attempts to make the trip without chains and finds to his disappointment and disgust that the bus starts slipping backwards halfway around the hairpin turn. He then spends approximately fifty-seven minutes adjusting the chains on the rear wheels. About this time one begins to sense an empty feeling in her stomach. Oops! There goes one of the four sandwiches which she brought along for lunch. The driver returns, and once again the journey is continued. Suddenly the bus lurches forward, as if a great load had been lifted from the rear end. Well, whaddayu know! The rope came undone, and there go twelve pairs of skis skimming back down the road. After spending several hours rounding up the "straylings", the optimistic group is once again on its way. With a minimum of motor trouble the bus reaches Government Camp, and the skier usually has one sandwich left to save for later in the afternoon. Since she brought her own skis this time, it will not be neces­ sary to stand in line for two hours Happy day! 3 !3 After waxin" the slats and adjusting the bindings, one finds that the sun will be down in two hours, so that she must make tracks—off to Multorpor! It is usually much quicker and simpler to blaze a trail through the woods and streams than to ski down the trail, around the curves, and over the washboards. a Once at the ski hill, one feels the need of another sandwich to give her strength for the great task ahead. As the sun sinks over a distant peak, the aspiring slalom runner reaches the top of the slope, after long and tedious hours herringbone-ing", and decides to walk down the hill and woit until next time to practice the snowplow! -3 3 —DARLYNE BELL. “3 ■3 a 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 ✓ Dilemma I realize there's need for rain; The flowers have to grow; The farmers need it for their crops — Yes, all these things I know.

Extra! Extra! Killer McGoon escapes the pen! Read all about it! Ad lib. Enter Mrs. McTavish (fat, has been shopping —thick Irish brogue) with Mrs. Murton (tall, has been shopping, also.) Mrs. McT.: So, begorra, I says, a finer lad ne'er wooed our Rosie than Johnny McToole — (interrupting) By the saints! D'ya hear that newsboy? Killer McGoon! Oh, Mrs. McTavish! Mrs. M.: Mrs. McT.: Sure n we must rush home n perteck the children. Oh, my poor Patrick — him on the force and the killer bein' loose in Whittsenville. Hurry, Mrs. Murton; I cannot hurry, Mrs. McTavish. That rheumatism in my clavicle II be the death of me — Mrs. M -. (Killer McGoon appears behind them, wearing conventional burglar attire — striped shirt, con number still pinned to his back, and a mcsk and golf cap pulled down over his eyes. He listens appreciatively to their conversation.) Killer: Ladies! Mrs. McTavish and Mrs. Murton scream and run offstage, very much frightened. (dead center) It's bad to be a killer; nobody'll be friends with ’ya. It sure is a lonesome profes­ Killer: sion — I get so sad (weeping) and lonely —I guess I'll go rob something. (Enter Red Riding Hood with basket.) Oh, are you the big bad wolf? Red: Where are you going, little girl? Killer: To take these things to my grandmother. She is truly ill. Hey, are you the wolf? Red: Nope. Killer: Gee, I musta’ taken the wrong shortcut! (Enter Grandmother in night dress.) Red: Granny.Red Riding Hood! You come here this instant! You're in the wrong play. You silly child—ad lib. Killer: Everybody tries to get into the act! Now— to rob the library — Arumph (aside to audience). Gee, I’m scared!

Librarian: (typical spinster) What can you be doing in the libe at this time of day, Rosie McTavish? You oughta' be home. What'll people think? A young girl out after 5:30 by herself (stage whisper) (sweet, pretty, innocent) I came to see the books. Of course, I can't read, but they're so purty — Rosie: (Enter Killer, tiptoe — sticks slingshot in Rosie's back.) (aside) Ha! me proud beauty! (to the librarian) Reach! Killer: Librarian: (screams) (to Rosie, stage whisper) Scream, you idiot! (Rosie screams.) Killer: Aw, shuddup. Reach or I’ll plug ya’ both with my trusty rusty musket. I mean my musket. (Rosie and Librarian reach, wildly gesticulating.) Killer: Now, give me all the dough you got in that fine box, or I'll shoot this gal deader n a door knob — nail, I mean, nail, that is. Hand it over, cutie! (Rosie screams.) Librarian: (screams and extracts four pennies from box, giggles at being called Cutie, hands them to killer.) Here, you brute! Killer: Hah! Now neither of ya- make a move till I say the word. Librarian: (frightened) What word? Killer: Oh, I don't know—any word. What word should I use? Say, I smell a rat. You're stalling for time. I'm no fool. Turn around and face the wall, Cutie (librarian snickers). Don't move till I close the door or I’ll kill ya' both Rosie: Oh, if John were only here!

HELEN'S HALL JUNIOR COLLEGE NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY-SIX �w E, the class of 1946, dedicate ourselves and our lives to that tomorrow, be­ yond graduation, when we as citizens of the world will be called upon to contribute our bit to international equality. We pledge our efforts to be spent in fullest measure on the meanest tasks of love, that however small our contacts, we shall in all be motivated by the genuine spirit of world fraternity. Though our principle is challenged by the fury of controversy, we firmly resolve, with the help of God, to push on “to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield" that world harmony which love alone can foster. �If m l FO Guidance, preparation, example — gifts hr the future from the faculty, individuals whose very vocation embodies their dedication to the future. 1 �. . . . -i’1- V tv ... : •: ^r^«s-v-•" J:- .■ ■ f.lv: m 1 * .. lip ;> WMV" ■ .. . *S - ' -3*1 ■ V 1 • • ■*> * • :.

N N Dean’s Message Almost two thousand years ago the children of humanity were bade by the greatest teacher the world has ever known to love one another. Centuries have passed — centuries filled with hatred and war, with greed and conquest. Today, on the threshold of a new era, we are brought to a comprehension not only of the humanitariamsm and the spiritual necessity but also of the practical statesmanship of that behest. Only today have we come to the realization that the world and its peoples have reached a grand crescendo of material force of such magnitude that, like a monster Frankenstein, it can only destroy those who have created it. In the face of this monster we turn to the love and understanding of our fellowmen not only for spiritual uplift, as in the past, but for material salvation. Awesome indeed is the task placed before you of this graduating class of 1946. For the ways of love are not easily followed, nor are the demands of love readily fulfilled. National enmities born in the dim past of early history are to be ad|usted; economic injustices nurtured through centuries of selfishness and greed are to be erased, racial intolerances produced by eons of ignorance and prejudice are to be eradicated. Only through growth and accomplishment so monumental can the world survive. May you carry with you from your years at St. Helen's Hall Junior College some of the tools which you will need the intelligence to cast aside unreasoning beliefs and groundless convictions; the vision to conceive of new ways of living and more satisfying relationships among men of all nations and all races; the character to hold firm to higher ideals and conceptions, and the spiritual strength which alone can enable the men and women of this new world truly to love one another. May you realize anew each day the lasting meaning of the words of John: . . he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?’’ GERTRUDE HOUK FARISS �•: ; CAROLYN BOWERS COLLETT Drama and Literature VIRGINIA L LANDOUIST Physical Sciences JANET EASTERDAY Secretarial Science Registrar dorothy LUCEIL M.

As the guests of honor this week, we enter by the front door, are escorted to the Chapel, and are officially welcomed by Mrs Fariss. Angelas members introduce us all around, answer our questions, try to make us feel at home. The Sophomores, evidently very much pleased to be so out-numbered, try to explain everything at once, adding to the general bewilderment. We meet the faculty at tea in the "rec” room and decide that we ll never get the names, faces, and courses to match. We're caught up immediately in the swirl of activities—tours of the campus, scavenger hunt, Hall Hills Hike, physical exams (those sheets!) and of course, entrance exams. Freshman Week ends with the traditional party at Everglades, complete with watermelon and canoe rides We find ourselves appreciating the theme of Delta Psi's College Daze, ' Go to sleep, little Freshman, dear; it's the last chance you'll have till the end of the year! ' Ah hah! We might have expected this—classes and assignments! We begin to understand the differ­ ences in rooms; teachers become distinct individuals, and we realize that activities are really only secondary! We meet our advisers and receive our schedules, determined to stick to them. All right! if they like us that way! We feel like helicopters with ten-inch green ribbons, but it's the Sophs that have to look at us like this. Just to go them one better, we turn up for initiation in pa|amas, papa's underwear, everything but burlap. (We couldn't find anyl) Full-fledged Hallites now, we elect our own officers, find places on committees, and decide we like the back seats best, anyhow. We join clubs, readjust our schedules, and set the date for our ‘ return" party for the Sophs. We face temptation on the subject of |ust what we d like to "return" and decide to be noble. The Sophomores go "clever' on us and come as little tots, and so we treat them as such. Milk for the little darlings! We learn to know Hall traditions and habits, we enter into the dances, parties, talent groups, sports, and club activities of all sorts, including clean-up committees. We attend classes, turn in term papers, and get our grades. (Ah, misery loves company!) Spring term is upon us, and every moment gains momentum. The first daisy in the quad starts us on a flurry of spring doings We discard Winter officially and break out in our gayest prints on Cotton Day, breeze through May Day with its flowers, the spring play with its rehearsals, Campus day and the lakehouse party, the Art Exhibit, the Fashion Show, the May Fete. Finally come Commencement rehearsals, Baccalaureate, Torchlight, and Commencement. We realize that we are never again to be Frosh; we are the Sophomores now, with added responsibilities. The Hall and its heritage are ours; their future depends on us. We watch the graduates depart and v/ith deep seriousness and strong determination step into the places that they have vacated. £ fe t t i & t & t & 6 fc fe & h * �3 3 U 3 mrTi'• a 3 3 3 3 * 1 3 ■5 3 ; i 3 =3 3 :3 ! 3 1:1 =3 ■ 0 3 =3 f; RESIDENCE HOUSE 3 =3 3 3 3 n i This year marks another great stride in the growth of the Junior College with the addition of the Junior College residence house. Not only has this addition proved successful from the boarding department point of >. . • view, but the broadened facilities which it offers have been of outstanding value to the student body in general Though the alterations were barely finished in time for occupancy, the dorm has never known a : lonesome or idle moment since. Many of the activities have centered around the three fireplaces and have included every department of school life. ■;.T* With great versatility, the dorm has been the setting for house meetings, club meetings, initiations, dis­ cussion groups, teas, formal and informal dances, Christmas and Hallosve en parties, potluck suppers, the ; ■ - Opera House, Valentine and Scintilla dances, birthday parties, firesides, and a great many other activities. We have had ample cause to wonder what the College did before the advent of the new residence house! One of the first steps in the organization of the living group svas a meeting of the girls, housemother, and dean to establish rules for the new house With no former experience upon which to base our decisions, we were forced to make various changes during the year to meet new situations. With girls from Oregon, [ Washington, and Idaho, we formed the pioneer group and broke the pathway for those who will follow us as resident students of St. Helen s Hall Junior College. 4 �p ■ ; ■ 1 ' :: < : j ; ■i 5 : >' •: ; ' ; i! , ANGELAS Growing out of the inspiration left us by Sister Katherine Angela, Angelas seeks to develop and exem plify the qualities of loyalty and generous service which so characterized her life. As a sophomore service honorary, Angelas fills a vital need in the life of the Junior College. Its members wear a Maltese Cross of deep blue as an emblem of service to the College and of the Angelas ideals of life. During the summer and into the first few weeks of school, Angelas members are primarily concerned with easing the adjustment that must be made by all with the beginning of the new year The summer months bring contacts with new students and various parties and get-togethers to acquaint the freshmen-to-be with each other and v/ith the sophomores. Angelas does its share in helping to plan Freshman Week, with the primary aim of introducing the new students to the Hall ways and the Hall spirit as early as possible. Many of the Angelas activities take place behind the scenes, as do the preparations for the college Christmas party. Christmastime also brings the annual reunion of all Angelas alums, at Mrs. Fariss , this year for a brunch around the fireplace. (We can too cook, and we proved it!) St. Valentine s day has come to mean the traditional celebration of Mrs. Fariss’ birthday, and plaudits are due her for her complete and apparent surprise each year. (Wonder how she likes to be a Tradition?) We may have been gluttons, but it v/as a good cake! : ; PS m ’• ■ With the Torchlight Procession and the awarding of the honors, the Angelas members appear once more in their sv/eaters and emblems, this time each one with a new cross in her hand, the symbol of mem bership to some freshman. With the seriousness that grows from the honest realization of all that Angelas means, we tap the new members with their own crosses; and immediately following the all-school reception, initiation is held for them in the college chapel. During the initiation we find ourselves gaining, through our attempt to transmit the ideals of Angelas to the new members, a fuller and richer conception of those ideals. Having given all of which we were capable during the past year, we find ourselves the possessors of much that we shall carry proudly into the future, the essence of that which is Angelas. �1 'vi MT w.: Wk m m- 4T :n - *t C? f r 4I i ';;- n vi •-. -i i! CHORUS rm. The Hall took another progressive step this year in the accrediting of chorus as a class in its own right. Members this year not only enioyed the pleasures of the glee clubs of former years but received college credit. To prove itself, the fledgling group has participated in many and varied college activities and has established itself firmly in the Hall scheme of life. - ■ The early part of the year was spent in building a firm foundation, so that the first performance might be an assured success. The advisability of such a plan was proved by the beautiful choral work at the annual Christmas program In white, topped by a gay sprig of holly, we erstwhile sock-and-sweater girls seemed to reflect the true spirit of Christmas. Encouraged by the enthusiastic reception of the Christmas program audience, the Chorus ventured forth before an all-school assembly, with a program that added more plaudits to its growing reputation. Word must have spread rapidly, for Valentine s Day found us singing for the Mothers’ Club, by invitation, no less. We were secretly much pleased to hear that the mothers wanted to see and hear "just what our daughters have been talking about." Having been modest up to this point, we could scarcely control ourselves upon being requested to ap­ pear at the reception and open house in the new dormitory. We donned our prettiest formals and were a|| sweet young girlhood with our very nicest manners. Lo! and behold!—they did like us! (That's what they sa,d, anyway!) Ah! Repeat performance! Another all-school program, again in our little red bows and white blouses. It's hard to tell if our audience liked Mandy or Billy Boy best, but it was all a lot of fun. Well established as a group, we brought the year to a successful climax with our radio debut on KWJJ and with our contribution to the annual May Fete, this time with full peasant theme. With a fine reputation built during one year, the future holds great promise for the College Singers. �C < u. £ £ £ iz tz t t fc t t t: £ £ £ £ FORUM 5 i } Although still basically a religious organization. Forum has expanded beyond the original discussion group and is now an active service club, seeking to apply to school life in a practical way those religious principles upon which the club is founded Its membership is made up only of those who volunteer and are willing and eager to share in all club projects. Much of Forum's work is done behind scenes and without recognition in a very admirable application by the members of the club motto: "Service, not serve us. £ One of the most important steps taken this year was that of the ratification of a new constitution, plainly setting forth the aims, purposes, and ideals of the club. The aim of the whole year was really the putting into practice of the goal: "To undertake any project or service to the school for which a need is felt, that is not being provided by another organization and that Forum can do capably " £ Some one had a "brainstorm", and we found ourselves enjoying pot luck suppers at the new dormitory. A new feature, this, and one most heartily approved by the members. (Sheets do make very acceptable table­ cloths, in a pinch.) We found that a more informal atmosphere prevailed around a fireside and didn't inter­ fere too drastically with the discussion at hand. i : fc fc This year, as traditionally. Forum took responsibility for the chapel and its care, a duty which was a precious one, faithfully discharged Dusting, cleaning, airing the chapel, keeping flowers on the altar, marking the books, laundering the linen and surplices—these are the services which escape the attention of all but Forum members. This year enough new markers were added to mark every book in chapel, and ribbons were supplied for the Bible. May Day saw Forum planting flowers in the Quadrangle, with the hope that future Forum members might have their own cuttings for the altar flowers. £ £ £ £ t * fc £ £ £ t : mi * ■ . ; i*. i iiil £ �3 '■f t; 3 h C, • ; i ■■ i ft £ i H-CLUB As the athletic honorary of the school, H-Club features many and varied activities. With the idea in mind of promoting interest rn physical education in its various aspects, the year was begun with the tradi­ tional Hall Hills Hike during Freshman week, and progressed to swimming, hiking, archery, badminton, tennis, riding, dancing, and other sports as the occasion demanded. Members were admitted after ful­ filling the requirement of one hundred points won through cctive participation in club activities. This year the constitution was revised completely, providing for many new features. One of the most important, and certainly the most apparent, was the section which allows the wearing of the sweater as soon as a girl is initiated Letters awarded throughout the year can thus be worn immediately instead of lying hidden away until the sweater is won. The gold star award marks the goal once set for the sweater. The candle-light initiation this year was held at Mrs. Gerretsons. mask our reluctance to part with our adviser and our mascot, King. Not even that yummy cake could Plans were mode for our ski trip to Mt. Hood, and January saw us on our way, making the most of the opportunities presented by Mrs. Soderberg, our new adviser, and by a new year. We re very proud of our record—two sprained ankles, a wrenched knee, and assorted bruises! Back to the dorm for a fireside feed, a rehash of experiences, a comparison of scars, and then to bed. Oh, the groans of the next morning! Because May means May Fete at the Hall, it necessitates a great deal of planning way ahead for H-Club members. Long before time the date was set and many and varied plans considered This year the Festival was held in conjunction with the Art Exhibit and Fashion Show, making a grand all-school open house. H-Club formed set requirements for the nomination of the May Court this year, making the choice even more of an honor than previously. Election, with its ensuing secrecy, kept the students in suspense, till the traditional announcement of the Court on Cotton day. Oh, oh! All the Fashion Show models suddenly became royalty! Consternation But all was smoothed out in time for a gala day and a right-royal cele­ bration of the coronation of the Queen of the Court of St Helen’s. High spirits were in evidence everywhere —among the court dancers, the entertainers, the jesters, and the sublets of the court in general. With all due pomp and ceremony another year was added to the pageant of May Courts. H-Club made its last official appearance of the year through the awarding of the athletic trophies by the Bishop at the Torchlight Procession With the lessons of the year well in mind, with many plans for the coming year, we elected our new officers and made a solemn resolution to have a bigger and better H-Club. r �1 : j m I. R. C. Members of I.R.C. work to gain a deeper understanding of today's world and the world of the future The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace sponsors the I.R.C., and the monthly pamphlets and publications received are discussed at meetings, where opinions are expressed and debated Interesting meetings and lectures fill the schedule for the fall The Atom Bomb, the U.N O , our rela tions with China—all are subjects of great interest that invite discussion and controversy. Simple snacks of tea and cake add to the zest of meetings. Spring brings a change of costume from sweaters and skirts to cotton dresses. Each girl in her own creation is truly a vision of delight as she walks across the stage, endeavoring to capture first prize The faculty and fashion experts try to be unprejudiced judges, but the creations in cotton before them render such a feat difficult! Yes, Cotton Day brings great fun for all, as well as for I R C., which sponsors this gay springtime custom. -;A i Regular meetings throughout the year are filled with casual discussions concerning subjects of interest to all. Special meetings are anticipated, for at these an interesting speaker enlightens the members on some subject, and then follows a brief round table discussion Both types of meetings are full of earnest thought about the preservation of peace and security—our place in the world of tomorrow. �. 31 3 3 S’? • aV.. =3 3 Si * 3 3 m 3 -3 ■is i M A- 3 3 3 ;i 3 «. * rj :3 :3 3 3 "I 3 1 31 1 3 3 3 RED CROSS COLLEGE UNIT 3 3 3 3 St. Helen's Hall Junior College has every right to be proud of her Red Cross College Unit, not only because it is the first of its kind in Multnomah County but because it was influential in helping other colleges to form their units. Though our Unit follows the basic pattern set up by the American Red Cross, all the work done by the Unit has been in a sense pioneering. Building on the fine start of last year, this year's group has added much in the way of both activities and spirit. i 3 2 3 3 3 3 f '? j3 i* i* Early in September the election of officers was held and the president duly installed, borne proudly a|0ft on the shoulders of her earnest supporters! "New office" in this case has a particularly pleasant meaning, for this year the Red Cross Unit had its own headquarters, with filing cabinet and desk, complete to the Red Cross Flag prominently displayed on the wall. Unfortunately the president and officers had no time fo a°d enjoy their office , for activities pressed too insistently upon them. Our novel method for keeping tab of each member's service hours (the crosses on our locker doors) has wof1 us favorable official attention, which was also reflected in the awarding of service pins to all those who had passed the thirty-hour mark. Again we were first in having our pins awarded, but the standard­ ising the conditions of their presentation was decided at one of the inter-collegiate meetings of Red Qr0ss Councils for all college units. These meetings, held several times during the year, were found to be mo5t interesting We also met other Red Cross representatives at various conventions in the city during the Qf, including the one under the joint sponsorship of Lewis and Clark and St. Helen's Hall Junior College. new dormitory was used as quarters for some of the representatives from the other Oregon, Washington, j Idaho colleges. One of the most fascinating and worthwhile of the Unit's activities was that of the Talent Group. Memcontinued their performances from last year through the summer and kept up their ward shows all be f5 ugb the year. From Barnes to Veteran s Hospital, to a barge in the middle of the river, singing to shut-in thrO ice men on a quarantined ship, members gave their all. serv ■5 �t. : : ■ : ■ . ; i\ . j, : . •; V SCINTILLA STAFF : I ; i i ' ; One of the greatest and most precious of the Sophomore class responsibilities is the pro|ect of the Scintilla—the record of our two years at the Hall. As a connecting link in the Hall history, the Scintilla is one of our most cherished traditions. In it we wish to include a bit of the fun, the friendships, the activities, the dreams, and the traditions that were ours during our Hall years. More than a yearbook or an annual, the Scintilla is a collection of those doings which are important to the Hall and to the Hall scheme of college life. * * * * * With the election of Sophomore class officers, the first step is made in the hectic business of getting a ■ Scintilla published.

Having expressed our noble intent, we found ourselves immediately swamped with requests for this, that, and anything else. Since we had become such an impor­ tant organization, we felt it only fitting to wear the honored symbol of our club at all times, and every member became the proud wearer of the little gold palate that forms the Studio pin. With the advent of school parties and dancies, Studio rallied in force and met the challenges of decora­ tions, posters, invitations, and so on and on. One of our first projects was the decoration for the Halowe’en dance, and we broke forth in traditional cats, spooks, and broomsticks. Candles in bottles on the tables and the dimmest of lights consistent with good vision (!) set the perfect atmosphere. With our best wishes to the boarders, we carried the same theme to their dinner table Later we decorated again at Thanksgiving. Christmas Formal and decorations of candles, trees, and all sorts of greenery are now synonymous in our minds, as a result of the frenzied rush which resulted in such a beautiful effect for the orchestra dance held in the new dormitory. Not that we weren’t already busy, but we managed to get it done! Being now accustomed to working in the dorm, we breezed through the task of decorating it with more ease the next time, and the Open House found us practising our technique in floral arrangements. Having had the experience of making the invitations for the Mothers Club Thanksgiving tea, we "whipped up" some very enticing little specimens for the Open House. We should have known better! No sooner said than done, and we were in the midst of more invitations—to the spring play and to the May Fete, Fashion Show, and Art Exhibit. Oh muse, we are thy slaves—and writer’s cramp is our reward! Jack-Be-Nimble and Little Boy Blue became favored inmates of our Art Room, as Studio members al­ truistically turned out some very picturesque (if we do say so) art murals for the Nursery School, featuring the best known nursery rhymes in oils. Taking modest bows this way and that, we accepted the tributes of rhose kind souls who admired our art exhibits at the May Fete, never breathing a word about the last-minute rush to get them all finished and ready for the occasion. Not only our own exhibit but many of the decorations for the May Fete were the contributions of Studio members A grand success—but perilously close on the heels of the Spring play, which received a great deal of Studio assistance on the stage sets. Ah well, we re versatile at least! Looking back on it now, we did do the decorations for the Hatchet Hop, didn t we? Does any one know what became of George? 1 ■ a 8? i �!

From this group candidates are selected during the year for Delta Psi Omega pledging Membership is open to all who display their interest in any phase of the theatre, from would-be Juliets to the prop girl whose business it is to furnish a realistic 'shot, heard off-stage Meetings are sponsored by Delta Psi Omega members, and the programs are presented by them until the members of Understudy are organized and the officers elected. Outstanding among the year's meetings is the candle-light installation of the officers-elect of the new group. Taking their cue from their sponsors, the new group plans its own meetings and programs, which consist of the discussion of plays past and present, with consideration of their place in the theatre as a whole. Various scenes from these plays are presented by the members and reports given on the authors, producers, directors, and cast of productions which are of interest to the group. Members form line-parties and attend all productions possible, including those of the Civic Theatre and of such stock companies as are accessible. This year. Understudy was well represented off stage and on in the spring play. Death Take a Holiday. We are proud of the five members of the group who received parts in the production and |ust as proud of those v/ho participated behind the scenes, gathering props, altering costumes, applying make up, controlling lights, and doing their best to part the curtains at the right moment. .> • B i mi Proud, also, of the girls v/ho received their bids to become Delta Psi Omega pledges and more than ever fascinated by the possibilities of the stage, members of the group maintain a fine interest in the theatre, an interest which they are determined to carry into the coming year. �■lU Ps v ~ s $ 3 a .31 3 * 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 MAY FETE "Hear ye! Hear ye1 Hear ye! To all the loyal subjects of the Court of St. Helen's! By royal proclama­ tion the day of the coronation of her royal highness, the Princess Virginia, is decreed to be one of feasting and festivities throughout the land. All the land of St. Helen’s is magically filled with the spirit of carnival and merry-making. Casting aside the commonplace, the sublets of the court rake upon themselves the mantle of holiday, don their most gala attire, and throw themselves whole-heartedly into the gaiety of the festival. Heralded by the royal fanfare, the procession advances. The subjects rise and bow respectfully as the court passes by, accompanied by crown bearer, flower girl, and prancing jesters, all forming a colorful pageant. The coronation ceremony culminates with the actual placing of the floral crown by the Prime Minister of the Court, as she officially proclaims, I crown thee Queen Virginia I". The new sovereign re­ ceives the sceptor and, mounting to the dais, turns to her court and delivers her first royal edict. "I do hereby declare this day to be one of celebration and charge each and every subject of this court to enter into the festivities with gaiety and merry-making." As Her Majesty takes her place upon the throne, the Princess Naomi and the Princess Marian seat themselves on either side. The court jesters turn delightedly to their task of spreading the royal edict among the subjects. The Mistress of Court Entertainment advances and, at a gesture from Her Majesty, opens the festivities. "The Dancers of the Greensward present for Her Majesty's pleasure . . ’—and brightly dressed peasants swing out in their most light-hearted manner, executing their gayest dances and drawing the en­ thusiastic approval of the Court. In true May Fete tradition the May-Pole is wound, and the dancers retire amidst the applause of all spectators. "In accordance with Your Majesty's request, the Keepers of the Chamber have designed new styles and fashions for the court wardrobe. If it please Your Highness, we present for Your Majesty's approval . . . " Models exhibit before the court the choicest of spring ensembles and are pleased to receive the Royal Seal of Approval. The Court Musicians display their skill, "for the pleasure of Your Gracious Ma|esty. Assuming her new duties at once, Queen Virginia makes her first official inspection of her kingdom. Inviting all her subjects and guests to accompany her, she examines every division of her court—from the realm of the Artists to that of the Scientists. Sampling the products of the Keepers of the Table, she finds them most delectable, specially prepared by the Matrons of the Court. Having satisfied herself concerning the condition of her court, the Queen and her ladies receive the farewells of their guests in person before the closing of the Carnival Low curtsies from the Court attendants as the Queen retires—and another May Fete, with its charm, laughter, music, feasting, dancing and merry-making, finds its place in the colorful parade of the Courts of the Kingdom of St. Helen s. 4 OH --. ■ 8k % �■: ‘ .i i i? ■ ■ ; i I DELTA PSI OMEGA k : V •; ' i : . i l V. r • • Long before the official opening of the college, members of the Katherine Cornell Cast of Delta Psi Omega, national honorary fraternity in dramatic arts, are completely immersed in preparations for the new year. Having continued our meetings throughout the summer, we swing easily (well, at least enthusi astically) into rehearsal schedule for the annual Freshman Week production of College Daze Now a tradi tion in its own right, “dear old Shucksford" comes to life again, the true Shucksford spirit spreading itself so insistently among the new freshmen that we hear strains of its noble anthem ringing through our halls for many months to come. As all drama is, or should be, derived from life itself, so College Daze is the distillation of the more poignant moments of college life, though perhaps unrecognizably so. Every moment has a true foundation in some honest fact, sharpened slightly for more effective presentation. Unfortunately the average St. Helen s Hall Junior College freshman is less easily convinced than the Shucksford Freshman and is apt to think we are playing pure comedy in portraying the various aspects of a freshman s entrance into college Lost are some of our most precious innuendoes, and the full import of our theme often means more to the full-fledged Hallite in retrospect than to the newcomer when she first hears the refrain of . sleep, little freshman dear, it’s the last chance you’ll have till the end of the year!’’ Nevertheless, each rehearsal becomes more hi­ larious and sees the addition of more lines and action, until by the time of actual presentation we are as interested as the audience and as ignorant as to what the final result will be But, oh!—the added charm which the variety and the spontaneity lend to the performance! (We rationalize.) And now, having passed our first dramatic production, with the gracious and invaluable aid of our honored alums, we turn with more serious attention to perfecting ourselves in our art, so that at some future date we may attempt to regain the reputation endangered through our farcical comedy. We turn also to the reorganization of Understudy Club, which we sponsor for those of the student body who are interested in the theatre in any of its various phases, and launch the group with an election meeting, after which the �1 L . 1 =3 3 9L-' 3 3 '■ , ■ 3 3 ! # . a 3 i ■■-? r-s : 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 $ 3 i % % 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 officers of Delta Psi Omega install the Understudy officers-elect With the presentation of a program con­ sisting of a discussion of one of the recent plays and a scene from it, we turn over to the group its own program planning and take the role of advisership as the club proceeds under its own momentum. Christmas time brings forth the annual Christmas program, this time in tableau form in conjunction with the College choir. The Christmas spirit has a new and blessed meaning this year, and the prayer of the Angel finds an echo in the hearts of all those in the candle lit auditorium, as we realize again—in the new-found peace of the world—the truth and beauty of the Christmas story. An integral part of Delta Psi Omega activities is the pledging and initiation of those who have given freely of their time and of themselves to the dramatic life of the College, who are willing and eager to improve themselves and to contribute the fullest measure of their talents to the productions of the year, who maintain in themselves the personal ideals worthy of Delta Psi Omega, and whose scholarship warrants their induction into the group With the completion of pledge duties, we turn again to the flame of the candle; and as each candidate takes her pledge, we renew in our hearts our determination to keep the eternal "creative spark that burns as a flame in each of us" glowing brightly in everything we do Early in the spring the first preparations are made for the spring play. This year the group attacks c very difficult project—Mrs. Collett's rewritten version of Death Takes a Holiday. Because the play is so wellknown to so many and because the conception of the rewritten version is so different, the challenge of putting across the message of the play is a serious but inspiring one. It is necessary for each member of the cast to apply with the deepest earnestness the ideals of acting to the honest "creation of a human soul through art " Realizing that the theme is one which can inflict actual pain on any members of the audience who may have suffered recent loss, if not artistically presented, the cast feels a sacred obligation to give the best that is within themselves to a sincere performance. With this realization, it is necessary for each girl to face for herself the truth and beo^ty of the play and seriously portray in every way possible the fact that ". . . death may be only more simple thon life, after all, and perhaps more kind . . June and roses go ever band-in-hand and make the perfect setting for the annual Delta Psi Omega Awards Tea held traditionally at the home of Mrs. Fariss. Recognition is given to those who have most fully lived the Delta Psi Ofr,e9° ideals and have contributed most to the dramatic life of the College. One more initiation ceremony, the last of the year, and we take our places among the alums whose "hearts will be forever bound in this one brotherhood, just striving all together for the things which we hold good." �h rz r~ COLLEGE HONORS FRESHMAN AWARDS The Nelson Shield is dedicated each year to the freshman girl who has contributed most to college t t tz tz acctivities. This year the award goes to Lorraine Hiebert.

ELLON HARPER �£= fe= 6= c= THIRTY-SIX YEARS AND MORE Bill's crunching footstep grated on the step. Mrs. Dane dropped her sewing and bustled to meet her husband. A loud, smacking kiss bounced off her forehead to ring through the hall She returned his playful bear-hug, and they waltzed gaily through the hall to the kitchen, upsetting the umbrella rack and a small chair. The Danes were in love; they had been for thirty-six years and more A round, little man with boyish apple cheeks and wayward bangs of white, faintly-curly hair. Bill Dane sank into his chair as May flew briskly about the room, putting last-minute touches on the supper table Bill wriggled his chubby toes in his slippers, stretched, took a last glance at the evening headline. Thengosh sakes. May. Ain't you got supper done yet?' and he was hungry Fer Bill was a kind, good-natured fellow—but he was a man; "Ma ay1" h~ May's voice was quiet and soothing. "Now, Bill, I had to go see Mrs. Swartz y'know. Poor woman. See," May said to her fifty-eight year old boy-husband, Her lumbago is worse I ve made a speshul' blue fr~ berry pie for yer supper " The peevish look melted from his face "Honey!" There were only two places on the Dane table now. There had been five for a long time, but kids will go off 'n get married," Bill knew. He should know! Hadn't he done so himself? Bill liked it this way It was more like when they were first married: everything spic n span, Mary busy cooking for him, him coming home from work— May smiled at him indulgently Her Bill, " she mused. She spoiled him, she knew But then, she always had—for thirty-six years and more. Even when the children were babies, the most pampered baby was Bill It used to make Doug angry to have to eat squash twice a week because Pop liked it. The rest of the family 6= 6= Ft— h~ hated squash. Even May was nauseated by its green-sweet smell, but she heaped her plate high, knowing that if Bill liked anything, it had to be good. Doug s protests were short-lived, May never heard them anyway. She would sit, spoon in hand, gazing with ecstasy at the contented face of her rotund husband. And Bill, his heart full of devotion and his mouth full of potatoes, would smile across the table and proclaim her—the besh—(gulp)—darned cook in Mac—(swallow)—inlosh coun'y." Ft— lv- Well, supper was over. Bill helped May dry dishes, mixing duty with pleasure and spoons with forks Fr— "Now, Bill—you go rest. Y'been workm hard all day.' The light of heroic martyrdom glistened in Bill's eyes, the color of "coke . with sparkling bubbles of w.t and "deviltry" fizzing in them. Bill worked hard at his job. "Why, the time the boss had no one else to depend on—" "And O’Leary told me, Bill,' he sez, 'yeer the oonly man on the job that's wirth yer salt, and tv yer wirth tin o' thim lazy Swedes'. May's head bobbed vigorously up and down in enthusiastic pride. Of course, her Bill was the best man on earth, she told the dimity apron as she hung it on a peg "The best! she affirmed as if the fact should restarch the ruffles of the drooping petticoatry. tv Bill and May strolled in their garden, his arm around her plump waist, her arm as far around his plumper one as a short chubby arm would reach. Lifting, un unison, two saucy noses and averting their faces, they ignored the Rutledges next door. Mr. Rutledge had dared to question the quality of the zinnias, May s pride and joy, and the color of Bill s gladioli. "The zinnias are doing well," said he. "So are the gladioli," quoth she. The Danes v/ere in love! They had been for thirty-six years and more. BYWAY v h- h- �. 3 3 3 t. ' 3 3 FOUNT Dsep info the brook the sunshine filtered, and the little fish knew only that the water was clear. Con­ 3 tinuously, the ripples pushed and pulled each other along. Winding, twisting, tumbling, the brook was a 3 small but lively element in the landscape. Crystal-clear in the light, shadowy and dim in the crooks, sluggish 3 Aiong the edges of the shady bank, the gray fish loitered in the still water; in the center of the stream, where 3 and dark in the still recesses along the bank—out of Anywhere, into Nowhere, the creeklet teemed with life. the current was swift and sharp, a great number of trout swirled endlessly and breathlessly out of sight. In the muddy bottom of the creek, a few plodding turtles snapped and blinked as they trudged their way, 3 below the sun-light. Back and forth, flitting from side to side, flashed the silver-sided minnows, testing the 3 current, changing courses. 3 3 Close to the source of the miniature river, in the quieter waters of a wayside pool, water-lilies bloomed and frogs croaked in deep voices to the schools of fingerlmgs in the shadows of the lily pads Here the wee fish played and feasted as they waited the growth that would enable them to try the rush of the waters 3 ahead of them With the importance born of age, the frogs scratched endlessly on, freely advising the youngsters, warning, instructing, confusing. And the finned adolescents listened wonderingly, for the stream 3 was a huge and exciting tide, and the flow appeared bewildering and unsafe 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 At the side of the pool, beneath the shade of a gnarled rosebush, flowed a tiny spring The water of the spring was of a purity that shone even in the clearness of the sun-bathed pool. Gradually, the tiny fish drew around the pompous croakers and gathered near the distilled flow of the spring. Here they absorbed a fluid of such refined learning that they knew, without being taught, the way of the brook before them. Drawn from the finest mist of ocean spray—the fog of far-off lands—the rain of prairies—the dew of new \ days—the drops of clouds—all combined, blended, and purified by the filtering through fine sand and rich earth—the distillate of the little spring brought vast experience, enriched vision, wide perspective and surer judgment to the eager newcomers Thus, without the sound of voice, the colorless fingerlings developed inner selves that glowed through them, lending to the body surfaces a bright, clear hue. So empowered, they made their way into the stream, knowing what faced them and strong enough to master the current. And as the goldfish traveled, they kept an eye always upturned, for they had learned that the same sky that 3 roofed the pool was ever above them—a clear and compassionate sky—always blue and constant behind 3 the storm-clouds. :: —BEVINS HALEY 3 ': 3 3 3 3 3 VISION V To those who at birth were blind, the lack of light is but a torture robbed of pain—for light is never lost where not possessed To those who learn the host to play to blindness in the midst of lightened years, the robbery is not complete—for the memory and the knowledge of light cannot be stolen. To those of 3 dim, unsettled sight, who realize that light is present yet cannot see it full—there comes a teasing, unkind 3 hope which never dies.

Vet I am certain that they are qualities of the never aging God. They are the foolishness of God, which St. Paul declared was wiser than the wisdom of men. They are the attributes of unspoiled., eager youth. They lead from thoughts and hopes through courage to an act of foolishness—to sacrifice This, too, is madness, foolishness to the learned —the Greeks. But to the Called it is Christ, the power and the wisdom of God. t So, as you go forth, keep youth within your hearts always! LEONARD C.

GERTRUDE HOUK FAR'SS 3 a a a 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 ■ DEAN’S MESSAGE ■ . \ To the Class of 1945 — Leaving behind the familiar, the loved, daring the hazards of stormy seas and unknown shores; trusting in God and His care, sailed those who were destined to give to the world a new nation. With tears for all that they hod left with unflinching determination and unshaken faith, they held firmly rhe proud banner of their ideal. 1 Across interminable miles of desert and prairie and mountain, through hazard and want and fear marched courageously the endless procession of those who had determined that they would give to America new fron­ tiers, a new horizon Eyes straining toward the West, hearts set upon build­ ing a new land, they pressed steadily forward. Strengthened by the courage and the traditions and the ideals of those stalwart ones from America’s glorious Past, march we of Today, pledged to save, with our abilities and our energies and even our lives, the cherished concepts and the precious way of life which is our heritage from them Set faces and stricken eyes bear too frequent evidence of the price we pay, but we are driven on by the silenced voices of those millions who have made equal sacrifices to give us that which we must now save. ; ■ : Into the minds and hearts of you of Tomorrow pass the strength and the courage and the vision from America s Past and her Present To you is given the grave responsibility and the rare privilege of translating the glories of the Past and the strivings of the Present into the peace and security, the justice and honesty, the tolerance and understanding of the world of which America will be a part Tomorrow. Moy you, with a faith in God as great as theirs who have gone before you, carry on GERTRUDE HOUK FARISS. 3 3 3 * •: . �mm 0 t DOROTHY KING GERRETSON Physical Education dorothy McPherson roy Art ond Clothing i \ V/ARREN W WILCOX lORENE WICKERT Psychology B-ologicol Sciences CLORINDA TOPPING Music Appreciation and Glee Club K i �i , H . ■ =3 ), =3 f i —3 -3 ■ ! b ! a 3 | ; CAROLYN BOWERS COLLETT { O'omo and Literature : m, U JANET EASTERDAY Secretarial Science i i i THE VERY REV.

FRESHMAN CLASS September seventh brings another Freshman Week to St Helen's Hall Junior College Sumner Hal! recreation room welcomes us, the new group of freshmen, eager, interested, excited, a little bewildered Angelos members, outnumbered and therefore very busy, introduce us, put us at ease. Sophomore "big sisters ", each with several little sisters , answer our questions. At tea-time we meet our instructors and spend the next hour trying to fit their faces to their names and their names to their courses. The less said about entrance exams, the better! Other memories of Freshman Week are soon ours: the wish.ng well; physical exams, all of us decked out in sheets like homeless ghosts; campus tours, the scavenger hunt; Everglades and garlic bread, mmmm Work starts in earnest. Names begin to stick to faces. We devoutly hope the sophomores appreciate our pretty green hair ribbons and our entrancing new hair styles—ugh! With freshman initiation finally over, we really begin to feel that we belong" now With great dignity we elect our own officers. Life becomes a round of chapel services, back seats, places on committees, memberships in clubs, work, and fun After much argument and preparation we give the sophs a return party They come all decked out in sailor suits and pinafores It is as much as we can do to handle them! As the year wears on, we gradually learn Hall traditions and ideals We become an integral part of Hall life. We help move sewing lab and rec" room We get the our Hall feeling In rapid succession come dances and parties, rehearsals for the talent unit, sports and games, activities galore We lose our timidity. We learn to ’"speak up” in student body meetings We go to classes, of course1 and naturally! and but definitely! We undergo term papers and grades Mutual suffering binds us together! We learn to find our places in the Hall scheme of things i In the spring a young maid's fancy . but we find we have no time for fancy, what with the spring ploy, the May fete, campus day., daisies blooming in the quad, baccalaureate, commencement. At last our freshman year is over. We bid a reluctant farewell to our big sisters. We wish we could live it all over again. I i �!• -- ! ; ? •: { ! * i J. Richords, V Torgcson R.

DELTA PSI OMEGA The members of the Soro Siddons Cast of Delta Psi Omega, national honorary fraternity in dramatic arts, strive to maintain within the College an active interest not only »n the creative arts of the theatre but in the art of living, since the stage must receive its ultimate inspiration from life itself. Membership in this organization is conferred only upon those who have freely and willingly given of themselves and of their time to all dramatic productions within the college, who have consistently maintained high scholastic stand­ ards and fine personal ideals, and who have undergone and completed the responsibilities and tasks of the pledging period. vm ”College Doze , a traditional part of Freshman Week, begins the Delta Psi Omega calendar for the year. There is much excitement and backstage giggling as the profs and students of the mythical dear old Shucksford' prepare a royal welcome for the quaking Freshmen Hot dogs and cokes served to audience and cast alike complete the collegiate evening Farewell, alums! October brings Chinese Stunt Night After much costume-hunting, acquiring of Chinese walks and accents, stern practicing of concentration while kowtowing, the show is on, complete with Chinese banners (falling unexpectedly), weeping willows, honorable Mandarins, and wretched prop-prop man. Shall we ever forget the almond(!) cakes and Chinese tea (hm! tastes like alfalfa) that our dear president risked life and honor to procure? Christmas brings its traditional dramatization of the birth of Christ Later there is the beautiful candlelit pledging ceremony, replete with pink roses and wonderful food (as usual) at Mrs Collett s. The dedication of the candles will not soon be forgotten Delta Psi Omega brings in the New Year by giving a Bohemian dinner party for Understudy Club Inter­ national intrigue is the order of the evening—spaghetti, grape-juice in wine decanters, checkered table­ cloths, Gestapo members, and the Underground February and March—and we all live and breathe the creation of our roles—the crystallization of our ideals in acting. March brings with it the solemn beauty of initiation, the sweet poignancy of the final pledging for the year. May is the fullest month under the sun. In the "time of Roses' there is so much to accomplish—the last play of the year; the Awards' Tea with its recognition of those who have most fully lived Delta Psi ideals, another initiation; one last toast "that our hearts may be forever bound in this one brotherhood—just striv mg all together for the things which we hold good E E E E E E E E E E E E t E E E E E E E E t �I ■' — w ^ .. ... _ : : '• ; ! : f !• I i BACK ROW FRONT ROW G Pole.

Its members seek not only to offer material service but also to gain spiritual guidance. Traditional privileges of chapel care keep Forum members unobtrusively busy: the chapel is comfort­ ably warm at every service; book-markers for the hymn books eliminate the old fumbling for the right page. Reverently serious faces look toward the stained-glass windows and the fresh flowers on the candlelit altar. Tuesday and Thursday noons during winter find the Forum girls turning cooks! Every one crowds : ■ eagerly into the foods lab. "Have you any mushroom2 Mmm, this is good!" And then members diligently begin their dish washing—always remembering to save the cans for the tin drive. Spring—and Forum plants flowers! See, they are growing already—delicate morning glories and other bright, gay flowers—in the Quadrangle, the rock garden, near Scadding, everywhere. Wet paint! What's this? Admiring students gaze upon freshly painted steps. They look almost too dazzling to walk on! April means Quiet Day, one of the most precious of Hall traditions.

The aim of the Glee Club is to perfect the beauty of song and to seek after creative expression of that beauty. A complete reorganization is the first achievement of the year for Glee Club Fifteen new members undertake strenuous Tuesday rehearsals, which seem at first a combination of beautiful piano accompaniment and sour notes, playing havoc with the harmony. December, however, finds Glee Club ready for the first public appearance at assembly, highlighted by the ethereal quality of backstage descants. The Christmas song-fest at Mrs. Topping s home fairly brims over with carols and Christmas spirit Another Christmas party at Helen Tims' home gathers members of Glee Club, Delta Psi Omega, and Understudy for a big tree, games, gifts (especially Thusnellda, a goldfish given to June Richards), and lots of food.

Activities are many and varied. September introduces members to their first activity—the nutrition course. Busy girls conjure with calories and try to figure out what kind of fruit should be served with pork From six until eight on Thursday even­ ings. when every one else is eating in peace and comfort, they are learning to feed others. Finally come canteen and actual practice in using recently acquired skills. In the meantime girls are sewing on diapers, every one volunteering to finish at least one. Student body meeting, with so many industriously hemming, is quite a sight! Well, one has to learn sometime1 The real Christmas spirit is evidenced by the pecking of twenty-four boxes sent to the boys overseas. Practically every one in the student body runs into the “rec room in between classes to help wrap the gifts in scads of tissue paper and with bright colored ribbon. Well, they are all ready to be sent. Merry Christmas, soldier The Talent Unit is formed. Smile at those boys at Barnes Hospital. That’s what they need—a friendly smile1 Performances are ready on schedule, once every month Those evenings are unforgettable dinner at school—girls perfecting last-minute touches before the performance—walking down hospital corridors— appreciative smiles of the soldiers—visiting and chatting by the beds. Say, my girl sings, too. Can you sing White Christmas?" a wonderful time! Let’s go more often The drama department presentation of No Coward Soul as a Red Cross benefit is a huge success. The money raised will help save many lives. ’ It costs six dollars a second to maintain the American Red Cross all over the world. Let’s help! Think­ ing about such matters, the College embarks on the Red Cross War Fund drive Competitive sides, taking part in what is called the Gold-Diggers Contest, succeed in collecting the quota in five minutes. A coke party rewards the winning team. The crowning glory of the year comes when the American Red Cross presents its official charter to the St Helen’s Hall Junior College Unit. It is a recognition not only of the work of the members but also of the active participation in Red Cross work of the entire student body. Trips to the Blood Bank are frequent occurrences Common purpose brings complete unity and ceaseless striving together for the banishment of want and suffering. t ■ !

The coronation ceremonies beginning with the royal processional, the |esters prancing along in mock dignity beside their petite ruler, have progressed to their climax as the Prime Minister (Mrs Fariss) places the crown of white flowers on the head of the new sovereign, proclaiming, "I crown thee Queen Barbara I ". Now comes the first royal edict of Queen Barbara, officially opening the evening to merry-making.

During Freshman Week, the new students were to be introduced to the drama department via College Doze, the first performance of the year. After a series of fun-packed rehearsals, the ploy was ready to be presented- A Lowly Freshman, portrayed by Ruth Wacker, under the wing of an Academic Guide played by Mary-Helen Duffy, was led through the trials and tribulations of a mythical college life, m which she underwent registration, sorority pledging, psychological tests, nursery-school training, and selected classes. Hoping that the audience would return at later dates for more serious productions, the drama deport ment bade adieu to what might well be described as "low comedy. Christmas seemed to come earlier than usual, for some reason, and with it came more rehearsals This time, however, the mood was quite different from the first show of the year. Peace and hope were the mes­ sages the girls worked to convey through the production of Women of Bethlehem. Joyous music from two choirs, combined with the soft glow of lighted tapers, added greater meaning to the Angel s prayer for a war-torn world: " . . and may the light that filled the world on that blessed night so long ago bring the promise of peace to all nations and the richness of love to each of you . Christmas vacation brought the beginning of a new year, and with that new year plans were made for the first major production of the season, the Student Players' seventh annual experimental night The date was set for February ninth. An original script was compiled by Mrs Carolyn B Collett from books and plays about the three Bronte sisters of Haworth, England. The title, No Coword Soul '. was taken from the last poem ever written by Emily Bronte, and the nine scenes of the play were introduced by excerpts from poems written either by Emily or by Charlotte Bronte Into the roles of the famous sisters were cast Virginia Torgeson as Charlotte Bronte, June Richards as Emily Bronte, and Beverly Triplett as Anne Bronte. "The creation of a human soul is an unforgetable experience . To the cast of came the tremendous responsibility of portraying characters who had really lived her role with humility, realizing that any misinterpretation on her part would be a "human soul". Several weeks of research acquainted each girl with the intricacies of to depict, including even the minute details of personal correspondence C c E E E E E c E No Coward Soul Each girl approached blasphemy against a the character she was In the staging of this experimental production, the fourth wall ', or proscenium arch, was actually used in the set. A dark purple drapery was hung to stage left, |ust inside the outer stage curtain, only its border revealed. This drapery represented a window in Haworth Parsonage. Whenever an actress stood by it, she v/as gazing, in her character's mind, upon the dismal moors which so influenced the lives of the Bronte sisters. Experimental in nature, also, was the costuming of the play All of the costumes were stylized, being made exactly alike in accordance with one, simple, period pattern, differing only in color. The symbolical value of color was employed to denote the essential qualities or core of each character to be portrayed On the opening night, the before-curtain hush back-stage was momentarily broken when Mrs Collett brought in a small hand-painted picture of pale blue harebells The picture had been painted by Charlotte Bronte herself almost one hundred years ago, and had been brought to the play by a great-niece of Arthur Nicholls, Charlotte s husband It was os though the very spirit of the moors had entered Scadding Hall. Each girl went on stage more resolved than ever to do justice to the story of the Brontes. "No Coward Soul . . " was twice repeated during March for the benefit of the Red Cross War Fund Having once given the play for their own creative and aesthetic satisfaction, the girls were anxious and willing to repeat it for such a cause and in this way to prove that the theatre can have a definite place in a world at war Reluctantly, oh, so very reluctantly, the girls closed the prompt book for No Coward Soul . and began rehearsals for the spring play.. John Van Druien's Old Acquaintance A far cry from Haworth Parson­ age on the Yorkshire moors and from the Pensionnat Heger in Brussels, a duplex flat in Greenwich Village and a Park Avenue apartment in New York were the new stage sets for Scadding Hall The girls were now to learn that even so-called "sophisticated comedy' must be created with truth and absolute sincerity. As the rehearsals progressed, the underlying drama was revealed. The girls realized that to feel intense emotion and cover it with sparkling repartee took even greater ability than to portray unconcealed emotion. May tenth and eleventh saw the final performances of the Student Players of 1944-1945 The academic year had been filled with rehearsals, rehearsals, rehearsals; but each girl found herself infinitely richer in human experience and understanding after even a brief submerging of her own personality in another char acter, for, although the performance is the technical goal of rehearsals, the perfection of a role may often be reached in the rehearsal room. Truly each girl learned to develop " . . the creative spark which burns as a flame in the soul of each of us. t E 6=1 fc? E fc* t ti ta E E E t E * �I .

And the scrapbook turns another page, exposing a clean leaf; the dust sett'r Scintillas, covering the newest year book, too; and the Spirit of the Hall sinks into new year .. i * ‘ *.cl e . i �INDELIBLE INTERLUDE i Through the eyes of a disinterested observer, the small Naval Air Station is indeed small, but through the eyes and heart of a mother, sweetheart, or sister of an LTA sailqr, the station is magnificent, cruel, excil ing, and yet heartbreaking. From every state in the Union come these men, from Mexico, Cuba, Alaska, Hawaii, and the Philippine Islands. They come not to fight ihe "battle of the blivy bags , as they describe it. but to see the world or to win the war from a flat top or battle wagon. They come from all walks of life, after all types of training, to be lighter-than-air men on this small base. Many are dissatisfied, bui here they are, working together and taking care of their "blivy bags", the non-rigid airships commonly known as Navy blimps. Here In the wee small hours of morning of Thanksgiving Day, they move through the patches of mist, passing the immense buildings with their weird shadows. The only light is the shifting beam of green, the ceaseless beacon, guiding the way to the main hangar. Things are "jumping" in the hangar, but no more so than usual The vibrant hum of motors, the tinkle of tools dropping from tired hands to the cement, even the voices of weary men produce a bustling activity not unlike that of a farmhouse kitchen. But there is little thought here of Thanksgiving Day! at e t± "Bill, d'ya think we ll ever get this damn engine linkin' again2" "Ah cain't tell you-all, mate. Ah jest know that, effen we doan't soon, ah'm jest goin' to flake out right heah." Hear that whistle? That's for the shiphandlers. They pour from the barracks, corridors, offices. The boys ore struggling into their dungarees and heavy jackets now, as they run onto the slippery field. Huddling in a small group, shivering, teeth chattering, the boys watch the huge splinter of silver float earthward. "Cripes, you'd think they'd wait until a decent time of morning to bring that damn thing down ’ £ Of "Gimme a cigarette, Pete " “Can't, No smoking on field. Some fool Nip s liable to see it 'n blow us up." The knot of men breaks up as the cables swing to the field. The huge balloon glides closer, closer, only a foot more to go. A gust of wind, and the ship is carried to the opposite end of the field The men run there and back, to the right and to the left, until ship and men are united, all disappearing into the hangar The work continues quietly during the better part of the morning Little is said; much is done. At 1100 comes the sound of another whistle, unlike the shiphandler's signal. It must be important. Each man has a set, determined frown on his face as he "falls in", and soon the O D. marches up, smartly salutes, and snaps out his orders. Another crew strides out and boards a ship. Another follows, another, and still another Once more comes a blast of the mighty siren, "all hands turn to". The huge doors are rolled back with a mighty groan, and a blast of driving rain sweeps in. Soon four shimmering beauties are in the air, lunging through the storm. Destination: peril. i; ! ij One hour passes, two, three, four The silence is broken only once. "Anybody goin' up for chow?" Some one shoots the sailor a scornful glance Every man has a fearful look on his face. Each is thinking of the crews of those ships. One poor fellow "out there" is expecting an addition to his family any hour Another is leaving tomorrow. Each mechanic is meditating on his engine, the one he swears at, spits at, and kicks. But right now he's calling her "honey" and pleading with her to bring her cargo of men home safely Each fabric man is dreading the thought he trieds to banish, the thought of hard machine gun blasts, plunging the carriage of human lives into a cold, beating ocean More slow hours pass. Radios are still silent, not a sound can be heard, only the pounding of rain. Occasionally a man lifts a tired hand to wipe perspiration from his brow. At 1900 the silence is broken. "K33 calling ABC tower. Roll back those pearly gates, mates. We re cornin' home." The men jump to their feet, dash out into the storm, and pull the giant balloons to safety. I ■ Cheers go up as the landing crew spy the empty depth charge racks and notice the absence of bombs. Each ship is empty of her ammunition, and each flight crew has completed its mission. “Well, Joe, 'spose we can still find some turkey and dressing waitin' for us?" "Gosh, if is Thanksgiving, isn't it?" —PATRICIA MOORE. mrnm cc ££ C3C I: 3 �=F =3 ±J 1J dp ±1 ±1 STAR-LIGHT God looked down and saw a world black as the Pit with sin and hate and greed. He saw his children stumbling over the rocks, for they were blind in the absence of light; shivering, for they were cold in the lack of heat. And he leaned over and loosed the fastenings of a tiny star, so that it swung free from heaven and drifted—drifted low till it floated among the children of earth. The little star saw what God had seen; and it knew God's purpose, so it gleamed brilliantly, shedding its glow that the children might see. Under ihe shining of the star, the children lifted their heads and, beholdmg it there, close above them, walked more surely; for the way was now light Coming close to the star, they lifted their arms to clutch it, so that they might hold it always, as a candle in the dark; but they found K that they could not touch the star and were disappointed. The star gave counsel to comfort them, saying, "By fingers I cannot be held; but open your hearts, and I will enter." Hearing this, the children obeyed; and God, looking down, saw the rays of the star flashing in mirror­ like gleams from within the children's hearts An angel asked of God, "Now will you bring the little star back? For they have seen its light, and their own hearts reflect it." And God replied, Not yet. A mirror-like heari is not enough." So the tiny star burned brighter, more fiercely, so that the children began to feel the warmth of its beams. And that which was ice w<thin them melted. Their frozen hearts thawed and began to feel the pulse of life. Again Ihe angel turned to God, asking, "Now will you bring the star back? For they have felt its wcrmln." ■ i m & i 1E m. But still God answered, "Not yet. One moment more." ' Then into the beating hearts of the children the star cast its strongest rays; and in the souls of the chil­ dren the sparks caught fire and glowed of their own accord. With wonder, the children watched and fanned the sparks gently, nursing the flame. And as the heart-fires grew, the tiny star rejoiced; and the angel turned to God, who smiled and said, "Go now, and bring the star home." But when the angel arrived to carry the star back to heaven, the children wept and cried aloud until the star itself silenced them, saying. Weep not for me, nor consider me as gone, for I am warmth and light. Therefore, as long as my flame burns in your hearts, I am here Now go and spread my fire, that I may be with you always." m So the children scattered and carried the flame to the darkest corners of the earth And to the tongues of the children, when they spoke of the star, came many different names. Some called if "Hope" , some "Faith", and some Kindness . But more often than by any other name, it was called “Love". —BEVINS HALEY. 5 �! ;s LET FREEDOM RING! -! 1 i •) : ! : 71 n ■3$ Anthems echo from the gate Of God's great realm above; Ageless tunes reverberate New words of sacred love; For marching feet no more resound Upon the earthen floor,Psalms of joy, long-lost, are found Within men's hearts once more Notes of rapture, touched with prayer, Ring out through all the world; Chords from Heaven s shrine, so fair.

JP 5 �I = = - . i Dedication ■ ! ■ - To the Sisters of the Community of St. John Baptist—through whom we have touched that serene beauty gained in living for serv­ ice to others; in whom we have seen life so nobly patterned that our own small shadows deepen with strength; from whom we face the trial of parting, knowing these years to be ours forever—do we dedicate this Scintilla of 1944, to acknowledge our her­ itage, sprung from an Almighty Godhead. �= r ;.-v-v f iv i ?■! k - !I Theme Within the tall, slender alabaster vessel of the soul, curves of deepest, palest blue, forms a tiny flame, silver-tipped above a glowing heart. At first the flame burns low, and deeper than shad­ ows is the dark, fathomless blue; the flame reaches higher, and in the spreading light, the harmony of curving grace becomes trans­ lucent tones of vibrant blue, merging, dissolving, reforming in the silver glow, diffused through the alabaster veil. And now the flame bursts beyond the clinging shadow of palest blue, enveloping the slender form in its intense blue fire, a crucible that consumes this alabaster of the soul; and flame and form are one, a spirit con­ secrated to the silver heart of Beauty. . . . :9 I ■ : j 1 This volume is the reflection of our flame of Beauty, still caught in the merging, dissolving patterns of silver and blue. We have guarded our flame, nurtured it with the richest oils gathered in these two moments of college; we have watched it grow from a passive depth of blue to a leaping, eager light, tipped with silver. Now the flame seeks to transcend the alabaster. In these first Bickerings of blue and silver shall be discerned, as through a veil, the full flame that guides us in the search for the Beauty we know is ours. 1 : a* J vv-:- •I um �I i ! - REVEREND THOMAS M. BAXTER It is the hope of your chaplain that one of the most enduring possessions gained from your two years at St. Helen's Hall will be a conception of the beauty of holiness. The day is past, thank God, when ugliness was considered a virtue. Christianity is, and always should be, a thing of beauty. Its founder showed us, as no one else ever has, the true beauty of human life. He taught us the beauty of the lilies of the field and the beauty of God's deal­ ing with man. His Church has tried to follow His example. Her historians wrote and de­ livered to us, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the most beautiful of all stories—a story which has moved the hearts of men as none other. Her members have produced or inspired the most beautiful in art, architecture, and music. Her worship is consistently beautiful. It is my prayer that those who go forth from this place will carry with them such a mem­ ory of the beauty of holiness that they will seek it wherever they go. �■SSI ;. jSwf Each hour ...

Their radiance passed into her soul, and their fragrance filled her being; so that, when the time came for her to depart from the Land of the Children in order to search for the Earth-land, she wept because she must leave the garden. But like all of the other children who were to visit the Earth-land, she was given one seed from the garden to bear with her. . . . After the little girl had come to Earth-land but while she was still a child in mortal years, she buried the seed in the warmth of the earth. Each day she watched over it, putting into the soil year cfter year the most careful and faithful work of which she was capable. When at the coming of each spring no bloom appeared, she enriched the soil with her gradually increasing patience; she learned all that she could of the care of this rare seed and cultivated the earth with the tools of her growing wisdom and understanding; she gave up many childish pleasures in order to care for her precious possession and so watered it with the dew of self-sacrifice. And when the bloom still did not appear, she turned her eyes upward and prayed that she might see Beauty. . . . And then one day the flower bloomed, and the little girl passed from childhood as she watched in ecstacy. But as suddenly as it bloomed, the flower faded. She who had nurtured it wept for what she had lost. She grieved until her sorrow was finally lost in sleep. But as she slept, a miracle occurred, and the young girl became lost in the woman. In the heart of the woman there lay hidden the white blossoms of Beauty. ... In the freshness of the early morning the woman awoke and smiled quietly in her joy. For the flower that she loved bloomed now in the place that she had prepared for it. She knew that there would never again come the moment of fading for the immortal flower. It was safe forever in the sheltered garden of her heart. GERTRUDE HOUK FARISS �I .! • ! = i ' : .

Just returned from the party at Everglades for prospective students. Swimming, boating, eating, and singing. Almost wish school opened tomorrow. mber 13 Haven't time to write, Diary. It's Freshman Week. October 4 At last the freshmen look normal again after the initiation in Scadding. I think even the sophomores were glad to see the last of green bows and pale faces. —-tober 15 The return party the freshmen gave for the sophomores was almost an initiation. Perhaps we were too hard on them. We did have an hilarious evening, and the food was wonderful. rlober 18 We should have a Mothers' club. Dear Diary, this decision comes after seeing the success of our Mother-daughter tea this afternoon in Scott Hall and what lovely mothers the girls have. "tober 29 Oh, the first dance of the year, the Hallowe'en informal! This is the first time we have in­ vited service men, but not the last. The dance was marvelous, the men coming from the Port of Embarkation. There's something about the glitter of a lieutenant's bars—well, the atmos­ phere from corn husks and a witches' well was so realistic, I'm positive I saw a few goblins. ember 20 For the past two days members of the student council have attended the Oregon Federation cf Collegiate Leaders Conference at Lewis and Clark College. We talked with student leaders from large and small schools, and we all agreed that SHHJC was the best. ember 17 The end of the term, exams finished, and vacation just ahead—but best of all was the Christmas formal. We invited service men again and had a delightful evening swishing around in formals. Every one seemed to be enjoying herself or himself—I was! 1944 Today we had a most profitable demonstration of school cooperation at the box lunch sale ^nuary 19 sponsored by the sophomores. The freshmen bought every one of the gaily-wrapped boxes— the money we made! bruary 12 Spent all afternoon decorating Scadding with hearts, ribbons, and flowers for the Valentine dance. Short dresses and heels were the feminine style, and army and navy uniforms, the masculine. bruary 14 In student body meeting today we gave Mrs. Fariss a book on English literature for her birth­ day. Diary, it's these little traditions that make it exciting and different to attend the Hall. April 6 Tra-la, la-la, the birds and bees—and spring vacation. April 27 Spring is here! We announced it officially at school this morning with Cotton Day. Every one wore cotton frocks and flowers in her hair. We opened the windows to the ceiling, and Spring walked right in. And the informal dance in Scadding was fun galore. Men from the air base, music from a dignified nickelodeon, and dancing until 11:45. May 18 Campus Day! Everglades! We just returned from the lake. It was the first time since Fresh­ man Week, and it was delirious. All the memories of other visits aren't half so nice as the real thing. The campus looked so neat after we had raked and swept and hoed and raked again. We're all ready for tomorrow. May 19 May Carnival—and Queen Peggy Jacobson looked like a fairy ruler. Can't remember at­ tending any classes, Diary. May 20 The last dance, the Spring formal. My, this has been a busy weekend—a regular May fes­ tival—and the dance was a wonderful conclusion. Today was Baccalaureate Sunday at Trinity Episcopal church. The music and the solemn and inspiring message seemed to be as a consecration of our two years at the Hall. Torchlight in the dusk of the college campus. I shall never forget this night, dear Diary, with the sophomore procession, the revealing of the representative freshman girl, the tapping of new Angelas members—all the deep, solemn traditions of the Hall that lie beneath the laughter and the foolishness.

An actress must understand comedy in order to understand tragedy . . . ''Work sincerely, feel intensely, keep the tempo moving, and above all, enjoy yourselves." To the encouraging tur*.e of this advice, the drama department, possessed of great enthusiasm, a little stage fright, and an overwhelming desire to welcome the new Freshmen, raised the first curtain of the year. The occasion was the performance of "Curses, Foiled Again," presented on the annual foolish and frivolous Wednesday evening of Freshman Week. The audience, seated at small takoles, "a la ye old saloon", munched peanuts thrown by unruly, well-bustled ushers and drank cider from honest-to-goodness steins. An actress must be versatile . . . "Play from your heart and from your soul—play from what the dignity and grace of Christmas are to you." In December, in vivid contrast to the previous performance, the acting class presented "The Women of Bethlehem" as narrated by an angel of the Lord. The audience was ushered into Scadding Hall by the silver-voiced chiming of bells whiose melody created a mood of wonder and thanksgiving which was never interrupted throughout the performance. Again the chimes were heard at the conclusion of the program, lingering in the air long after, as a memory of the joy and the triumph of the Christmas season. An actress must give of herself if she would justify her profession . . . "Because the theatre must prove its right to a place in a world at war, the drama department will, this year, sacrifice its regular production schedule to the putting on of an entertainment for the armed forces. Tryou ts will be open to any one in the college who is interested in serving her country in this wcry." With a gasp of amazement, St. Helen's Hall sat up and prepared to try out for parts in a Gay Nineties Revue. "The Girls You Left Behind" began to take shape rapidly; and soon the wknole school was humming "We Are The Girls You Left Behind" and "The Victory Polka". Af ter weeks of strenuous rehearsal, and not a little fun, the show reached performance level. It was given under the auspices of the American Red Cross, which arranged for the tour to talce place during the week of March 20-25. Seven performances were given in five days. The ccrst included fifteen girls, who were accompanied by three chaperons, Mrs. Carolyn Collett, production director; Miss Peggy Jane Giddings, dance director; and Mrs. Gertrude Fariss, dean of the college. In producing the play, a script was written that would please an all-masculine group. Youth arid gaiety—laughter and song—jokes, flirtatious winks, black lace stockings—these were the things the show was made of. Several numbers invited participation, on the stage, of a mem­ ber of the audience; and the actresses learned that there is nothing bashful about a service man! While the army show limited the other dramatic performances during the year, it gave val­ uable experience that could be gained in no other way. The cast learned to play to different audiences in completely different settings, whether there were twenty minutes or an hour to become accustomed to the strange stage. The girls learned to sense the mood of each new group immediately; to make each successive performance more spontaneously alive. They learned, too, v/hat is meant by the professional expression, the "feel of the house". One of the appreci­ ative letters received by the school after the tour reflected the audience response: "The show has sparkle, youth, enthusiasm, and music that is both familiar and fun. The men like to sing, arid enjoy the feeling that they too are a part of the performance." "The technique of acting is the creation of a human soul through art." The theory under wbiich the acting class is instructed is the technique expounded by the late Constantin Stanis­ lavsky, who was director of the Russian Moscow Art Theatre. He believed that art is produced through the medium of a "creative mood" and that the actor must offer his mind and his heart in order to receive it. For its final project of the year, then, the drama department made a class analysis of Susan Glaspell's Pulitzer-prize play, Alison's House. Through this study, the girls came at last into a full realization of their year's work . . . the creative mood was invited freely . . . and successfully . . . and the final lesson v/as learned . . . "On the stage, as in life, each person must work for the good of the whole; no one can act his part alone." �I :•, Junior College Honors DELTA PSI OMEGA AWARDS The Delta Psi Omega Drama Honorary Award, given annually to a non-member of the fraternity, for outstanding service "behind-the-scenes", for efficiency, dependability, and cooperation, is presented to the freshman whom Delta Psi Omega members consider as having contributed most selflessly to the dramatic life of the school, Betty Clark.

Maybe I decide to retire into the book-store, for instance, for a quiet study hour. I walk in and settle down to my books. Everything is fine for a few minutes. Then I realize it is stuffy and open one of the windows. Having opened a window, I become absorbed in watching a soldier v/alk down the street. He turns a corner, and so, with a sigh, I return to my work. I study intensively—for about five minutes. Suddenly the door bursts open, and a pro­ spective customer comes bounding in. She wants to know if we have any index cards. We haven't. After she leaves, I try once more to read my assignment. This time I am disturbed by the sound of voices outside. I lean out the window and carry on a scintillating conversation with the girls below. The conversation consists of such brilliant remarks as, "Where are you going?" and Bring me something to eat from the bakery." Once more I resume my reading (I have covered one and a half pages), and once more the door opens. This time it is my friend, Suzie. She wants me to write a little note to her boy-friend's pal, who is lonesome and wants a letter. I agree and then chew on my pen for ten minutes. Shall I be casual and breezy and start by saying, "Hi, Slug"? Shall I be af­ fectionate and say, "Dearest Joe"? Or shall I perhaps be business-like and begin with "My dear sir"9 My brooding is interrupted by the entrance of the girls from the bakery. I decide to pause long enough to take a little nourishment; after all, I need my strength. I devour the last crumb of food and go back to my studying. But hark! What is that? Can it be ... it is! The bell has rung. I cannot understand how time can go so quickly. JUNE RICHARDS While the Sophomore Muses SPRING MELODY You know, I like the Hall—especially in Spring! There's something about crisp yellow sunshine that makes you want to twirl around three times and sing hilariously about many things--especially about how glad I am to be a student at S.H.H.J.C. The red bricks and gray walls of the buildings seem to echo my exuberance; and even the bacteriology labora­ tory assumes a lighter, more subtle fragrance in honor of the Goddess of Spring. Honestly, you'd be surprised at the small things I find exciting at the Hall. You might even laugh when you discover that I love to open the windows to gaze philosophically at fat cotton clouds against pale blue, wishing for a new dress to match the color of the sky; to race to the store in between classes to buy a shiny yellow-red apple that has .such a juicy sweetness it tastes like nectar; to lie flat on my back on the floor of the stage room, the air swelling with Debussy's "Afternoon of a Faun", the sun crowding in to share my enjoyment; to renew faded memories at the piano with any one who drifts into the room, lured by snatches of melody; to offset the war-time maid problem by aiding in the kitchen, clumsily arranging, to the consternation of the cook, crisp pieces of lettuce in arty salad pat­ terns; to throw myself half out the window, waving at every male who goes by, whether he be the streetcar conductor or the pre-school darling; to freeze happily in the icy tempera­ ture of all play rehearsals, breathlessly watching fragments grow into a tightly woven pro­ duction; to laugh hysterically at my attempts at being graceful in modern dancing; to marvel at the faculty who can be as gloriously young as we giddy students; to kneel with friends in thankful prayer in our small chapel, dedicating our lives to lofty ideals— Yes, these are the things that I will remember about the Hall. Studies? Have you for­ gotten? It's Spring! ELSA JEAN CORDOVA ! , :* Vi ■•V : i SG; i. > c - • . i 1 •• : ‘ v-1 mm m ! - i M . • ?v -1 v.j. .. • V4 ;-J > .V- • - M:- • �. ! “J '. Reflections "Our Father" ■ i All voices are hushed as the heavy doors of the sanctuary swing open and we file twoby-two into the deep silence ahead. Softly through this silence, becoming almost a part of it, float the sweet strains of the "Ave Maria'creating an atmosphere of divine reverence, filling our hearts with the desire to worship and to humble ourselves before the one true, living God. : Our heads bowed, we silently express our praise as we kneel, awaiting the beginning words of devotion. We are, in this instant, lost between Heaven and earth. ; - Such as this are our brief moments with God as we thank Him for our blessings and as we pray for a peace which will remain with us in the days to come i. Through the final words of benediction the great voice of the organ is again heard, its music expressing the glory which we have felt, the wonder of this haven in a world of turmoil, these moments with "Our Father— CARMEN SYNNES ! •j Love Song f These are the things I love; Soft candlelight and loving laughter, The sound of rain on the roof above, The sparkling dew in the early morn, Brown eyes, and music low and sweet, The starfish hands of a babe new born, The sound of wind so clean and free, The stormy sea, the touch of mist; These things are dear to me. —JUNE RICHARDS Night i! I I Oh, night—thou sweet, enfolding opiate, Quieting the ravished, throbbing earth, Let me hide among thy circling clouds, And sleep—in sleep there is no war. Let me shut my eyes against the death Of comrades. Help me to forget the tales Of pain and famine ruling far-off lands . . . And yet, oh, night, thy sweet oblivion Is like the river Lethe's dark-robed spell, A thick, enfolding dream, the weaklings' god; For with the roseate dawn of a new day, There comes the shining glory of the sun, And Hope eternal rules each heart again. —MARGARET ROGERS i i �Wings of Love The human soul is like a dove Which soars to heights unbound; Its fervor guided by that love And faith in Heaven found. The flame of trust reflects the light Of man's ideals inspired; Celestial glory brings delight, When duty is desired. Though hearts be linked with worldly things, The spirit stays sublime; The freedom of each soul yet rings Throughout the realms of time. Though sorrows mar the joys we share, God's love will not decay; For His own thoughts are everywhere To sanctify the day! —HELEN L. TIMS Line and Form Birches . . .

Slowly I drifted down, down; and the depths rose above me in the silence of eternally cool green. It was cool, cool over my eyes and lips, cool over my arms, cool, so cool, cold, cold past my fingers, cold every­ where; and the depths were green-blue. Slowly I sank, and time was drowning in the greenblue. I was drowning in the langorous satin of the blue-green, and my cold white arms were burning in the dark, clutching blue . . . Now I was drifting, down and away, slowly, turning slowly, faster, faster, while the icy blue fire whirled me deeper and deeper. My eyes were flaming coals, and the sword-edge blue pressed hard against me, until my arms were molded to the gleaming white of my nerveless body. Deeper I sank . . . and never had I known the rough warmth of sunlight; forever and ever I had drifted in this world of crushing blue that seeped into my veins and smothered my heart; forever and ever the dark blue had poured above me in torrents of passionless cold . . . Around me now swirled great pinwheels of fathomless blue, dark blue, crystal blue, and shadows of amber. Now my feet and body and arms were bathed in blue-amber. Amberblue embraced me, kissed my resistless lips, closed my staring eyes with its oily fondling. Great floods of burning amber washed me, and the cold, icy amber covered me. I was con­ sumed by the inferno, and the silver ice sheathed my limbs. Now I saw below me the gentle slope of the ocean sand swathed in shadows of amber and blue and green with amethyst and topaz. Slowly I sank, and my feet drifted on the silver pearl sand, and the cold fire laid me gently on the ocean floor . . . . Drifting about me lazily, entwined about me was dark green and amber seaweed. Slowly, carelessly, relentlessly the strands curled about my face, over my lips, around my arms and through my fingers. With its pearl-incrusted strands and coral-laden fingers, the seaweed v/as my shroud as I lay on the clean, smooth sand. Now I had stopped drifting, and the gold-flecked sand was burying me slowly, silently, eternally . . . When I awoke, I saw the motionless body in the seaweed and sand, and I moved to­ ward it to comfort such loneliness. As I moved, great rivers of amber, blue, and green swept me close to my lost possession. I reached to touch it, but the heavy amber swirled me be­ yond and away . . .

To that end do we dedicate all that we are, all that we are capable of becoming; and for that end we shall sacrifice all other consid­ erations. We will, with the help of God, be the dawn of light in the darkness, the prom­ ise of peace and its fulfillment. In this Spring of nineteen hundred forty-three, we stand in firm allegiance to our country, proud to be part of the immortal heritage of a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. — Carolyn Bowers Collett �h- n % i!; i I j: M §> i ■ - i ?dt The fountain of perpetual peace flows there, �I } l : :• r‘ *( !

Secretary-Treas The fourteen members of the 1943 graduating class have con­ tributed extensively to all activities of the Junior College. They not only have taken active part in the social functions but have been well represented on the honor roll as well. The last few weeks before graduation were spent in a flurry of activity and excitement. Money-making projects, such as the auctioning of box lunches and the sponsoring of the dance and of a booth for the Carnival, were among the many springtime activities which claimed the attention and efforts of class members. On May 23, the graduates heard an inspiring Baccalaureate address delivered by the Very Reverend Charles M. Guilbert, at Trinity Episcopal Church. They gathered at the college in the evening for the traditional and very inspirational Torchlight Pro­ cession The concluding social function of the year was the Sophomore banquet at the Multnomah hotel. Here the girls spent a last en­ joyable evening together before they became almumnae of St Helen's Hall Junior College. r I •V .. < �CLASS OF '43 ARNSBARGER.

' ■ 1 :■ ' Wartime curtailment of vital printing and engraving materials was this year met and conquered by the Scintilla Staff. The aim of the members of the staff was to produce a compact and interesting yearbook which would easily fit inio the simpler scale of living now being observed. They chose the theme of peace as the one most suitable for an annual which would inspire hope for a better life to come and preserve the memories of worth­ while college experiences Mrs Fariss, as adviser, devoted much of her limited time to the book. Shireen Hall, Elia Leibold, and Dorothy Hari were editor and assistant editors, respectively. They were assisted by Barbara Crawford as advertising manager and Rhoda Thurm as business manager. The photography was handled this year by a member of the Sophomore class, Bette Miller. All art work was done by Phyllis Nelson. l IV i :! ■■ . : : ; I ! .< I- ! ; - I.■i ri -it" : ;,r First row, left to right—B Miller, S Hall, D.

The acting class, Dorothea Thomas, Roberta Perkins, Elia Leibold. and Eleanor Dodson, gave this scintillating satire on freshman life with a spirit of fun that captured the whole audience. Candy, pop-corn, and punch added material refreshment to an evening of laughter. Intrigue, damsels in distress, and handsome heroes brightened the Novem­ ber gloom in the Delta Psi Omega Stunt Night presentation of "She Was Only a Farmer’s Daughter ' Refreshing mugs of cider and bags of creamy peanuts lent atmosphere to this old-fashioned melodrama To make the spirit of the gay nineties more vivid, an olio, the dramatization of old songs, was also given The audience showed its appreciation by responding with violent cheering and equally violent booing With the coming of the new year drama forsook hilarity and reflected the stern influence of war In January, the four members of the acting class gave a most impressive and appropriate program for the sixth annual experimental night Scenes from four current war plays were adapted by Carolyn Bowers Collett, the director, and were produced in purely experimental style without setting or costume The players were invited to repeat this production for the annual Oregon State Theatre conference at the Civic Theatre. Those who attended seemed to be deeply moved by the solemn message of the play The dramatic finale of the school year came in April when "Letters to Lu­ cerne by Fritz Rotter and Allen Vincent was presented Again the theme of war dominated the performance "Letters to Lucerne" is the story of an ex­ clusive girls' school in Switzerland and the effect war. as depicted through letters received from home, has upon the friendship and love of the girls. Outstanding in the cast were Dorothea Thomas and Roberta Perkins, who, in their respective roles of a German girl and a Polish girl, gave sensitive and moving portrayals of the heart-breaking relationships brought about through war - m • «v» ;i .

Freshman jesters, Betty Jean Tappen and Elsa Jean Cordova, gamboled about Scadding Hall, adding to the spirit of fun that keynoied the evening. l!

An openair dance in the tennis court, sponsored by the Sophomore class, ended the evening's festivities. •: 5 •' : ■ .! * s l. i J5 li B'J ! -t II I -! �COTTON DAY Spring came to the campus on April 30 with the annual "Cotton Day," spon­ sored by Press Club Four faculty judges were given the difficult task of selecting prize-winners from the scores of bright spring dresses modeled by members of the student body. Judging points were style, suitability, and originality. Winner for the second year in the selfmade dress group was Elia Leibold in a lavender linen frock trimmed with bands of white lace daisies. Dorothy Hart's fresh blue and white dirndl with its block-printed skirt took honors in the purchased class. CAMPUS DAY When May 6 rolled around, loyal Hall girls reported for roll call in shorts and slacks and adjourned en masse to the campus, where they made hay, both lit­ erally and figuratively. The sophomores auctioned off box lunches during the noon respite Student Body President Pat Duffy supervised the mowers, rak­ ers, and basket carriers, who left the grounds spick and span for the May Fete. ■ ; i :i! •\;g / Vi �I I, MILITARY TRAINING t : I •• I 1 in I v\ * ? 1! r i i; ; The spirit of regimentation that accompanies war found its way into our 1943 physical education program. Calisthenics was made a required course for all junior college students, and compulsory military training was added to the curriculum. The cadet officers heading the drill program v/ere Cadet Colonel Dorothea Thomas, in charge of both high school and college training squads; Cadet Major Winifred Coward, who headed col­ lege activities; and Cadet Captains Betty McCluskey, Ruth Curry, Jean Oshanic, and Dorothy Hart, who directed individual squads. The entire physical education program was supervised by Miss Peggy Jane Giddings.

The small modernistic clock on the old-fashioned highboy threw its arms straight up, feigning horror at the hour A ruffled white curtain floated gently on the breeze from a half-open window. The robust shouts of my small twin boys who played below melted into a symphony of sound that drifted quietly into the stillness of the upper story. The sweet-faced miss of the Age of Inno­ cence smiled complacently down at me. A fuzzy panda bear and a baby doll smiled at me from their nest among the lacy pillows on a twin bed. The still figure on the gold crucifix hanging in the corner reflected its message of peace and gentleness. v. ••i ; ■.? i, . ii.ii '. I l ’1 fl i 1 .• mj : The glass dressing table top supported a confusion of bobby pins and small jars, gilded with a fine sprinkling of powder. The small silver sandal that lay in my path reflected the rays of a sunbeam. A cobwebby stocking was suspended from the back of a chair. Its mate lay forlornly on the floor beside a small deflated heap of white satin and lace An open closei door disclosed a regimental row of multi-colored garments. The folds of a sheer, white dancing dress fell from a hangar hooked precariously over the top of the door The snowy white pillow accented the mop of golden-brown curls which lay upon it A pale blue blanket revealed the lines of a firm young figure v/hich lay beneath. A dance program hung slackly from a tightly clutched silken cord. My eyes turned from the bed and its occupant to the table which stood beside it. There, beside the small white radio, lay a pearlencrusted fraternity pin I glanced again at the sleep-flushed face A dreamy smile flitted across its countenance. I sighed softly and closed the door. — Dorothy Hart it m B �! {. i ! !

The fates have been against me. I undoubtedly was born under an unlucky star You see, I am an unlortunate being who has an older sister. While it has always been impressed upon me how for­ tunate I am, having one only three years my senior, still I maintain that the class of older sisters should be destroyed from this earth In order to prove just what older sisters are made of (definitely not of sugar, spice, and everything nice), I shall use my dearly beloved relation as an example. "Will you please try to coordinate your muscles and walk across the room and put your coat away!" or "Stupid! Don't you know the difference between singing and howling? — and if you must sing, go into the other room and shut the door," or "Mother, for goodness sakes, I know that I didn't act like that when I was her age." Incidentally, those remarks are all made in the most sarcastic of tones. I have been told that the very first day that I arrived home from the hospital, being a “little bundle from heaven," my dear sister, after listening to me whimpering softly (all right, screaming loudly), was heard to say "Mommy, make that big dolly stop crying." This proves that she was the forceful type even at the tender age of three Another perfectly hateful characteristic that my sister has, is her size. While I am a perfectly huge person, she is only five feet high, and her smallness complicates matters greatly. While she can wear my clothes by merely turning up the hem, I would look just a bit crazy wearing hers — for I am simply not the type who can wear my skirts inches above my knees. l f k ■ f : When we are together, people look me up and down and say, "My, she is large, isn't she?" while upon seeing sister, they chorus, "Isn't she sweet?" One would think that these factors would be enough to contend wiih, but there is still another point which particularly adds to the others — my sister's intelligence. She is a "brain." I, who am just the opposite, finding it difficult to solve the simplest problems, often go to her, in all innocence, trusting her to furnish the explanation without a thought But what does she reply? "I always get along without any explanation, so why shouldn't you?" Oh, it's very discouraging! ; : Of course, at times, sister has a very maternal feeling towards me — at the wrong times. For instance, when I am going to go out on a date and want to make a very good impression, just as we go out the door, sister will sv/eetly say, "Have a good time, children " : I truly realize that all older sisters are not like mine — perhaps some of them are even human! At least I hope so. But don't misunderstand me. I love my sister. — Elsa lean Cordova i ■ ! �, V . , 8s P:»> . !• • : p- ' -|d ' . . w k,^JJ \A ViVJ U £'V- tfe { ■.•••.

You will not be forgot When from you we must part; We’ll hold high the red and the blue; And in the dim future each prayer of our hearts Will go winging to heaven for you. Your chapel breathes peace in a world of strife; Your morning-light window is dear; Your candles are gleaming like stars in the dark, Untouched by the thick fogs of fear. Your blossoming trees In the first flush of Spring Kindle joy for the raptures of youth; And all your sweet gardens are fragrant with flowers As your classrooms are fragrant with truth.

Behind every great school there is a beloved guiding light, and she is ours—a never ceasing spirit of kindliness, under­ standing, graciousness, and all inclusive friendliness. It would be almost impos­ sible to determine the number of instances in which her whole-hearted enthusiasm and interest have been the inspiration for tre­ mendous achievements and have even de­ termined the entire course of a Hall girl’s future life. One cannot be graduated from the junior college without, at some time or other, coming under the magnetic in­ fluence of her inexhaustablc, \ ital energy, her vigorous, but unassuming efficiency, her heart-warming sincerity, and her charming sense of humor that never de­ serts her. YVe arc proud to call such a woman the Dean of St. Helen’s Hall junior college. r 1 j ■ a. : j gt 8; : -• ' pi m. - if- ■ j. !■: “ v =- i l if Dedicated �;:= ■ t $! ■S .i, '■r%\ >1:1 • '.r-i I 1 ’ iff- - : •.I*».* * : ii ’ f ■ : 1 Si f IV: ‘ mm Oj t (11.: • l Gertrude Houk Far is s f I I t' i $1; i li ■ I H, ■ V* .!: ; i !!■ '5 ti’-M ★ i1 m i • ; •i i;V1 I: II s �* • ■ I I I I.

GERTRUDE HOI K FARISS, Dean ENA MARSTON, Registrar I To Our Graduates— Go forward with courage, you of the Class of 1942. And with your courage let there be intelligent perspec­ tive. The highroads of today are not sheltered, peaceful ways, marked by guideposts of tradition. Rather they wind through torturous and dangerous passes, and count­ less crossroads lead into strange, precarious regions. But do not be afraid. Those with courage, steadfastness, and faith will find the way. Upon the woman of today rest tremendous obligations to utilize her education for living, the priceless gift of a free country; to find a deep, spiritual conviction, emerg­ ing from America’s earliest insistence upon the right to worship God in freedom; to prove worthy of her heritage of liberty and democracy, fought for and won with the toil and lifeblood of Americans. Out of the struggles and triumphs of this past comes the challenge of our present. Go forward to meet the challenge, you who are leav­ ing us. Do not be afraid! ’ -1 A w1 •r >- „ I •i —Gkrtrudi-.

Does not that list of diverse all-school activ ­ ities remind you of the bi-monthly Thursday student body meetings where the prexv pleads for cooperation and appoints endless committees; where club presidents announce every organization event; where the date com­ mittee solicits potentially dateless girls; where the year­ book staff encourages the sale of the Scintilla; where the ad chief begs for more copy? Meetings arc not always so personal, however, foi every other Thursday the student body assemblies art devoted cither to speakers who discuss cultural or civic topics or to school organizations which present educational programs in keeping with their own activities. Among the outstanding guests this year were Sadie Orr Dunbar and Robert Tyler Davis. An athletic exhibition, a quiz program, motion pictures, panel discussions, and musical presentations have been presented by clubs at their annual assemblies. �1 ■v'l; M ■ “That our daughters may be as the polished stones of the temple. . . That ideal was expressed by the foun­ ders of St. Helen’s Hall when they laid the first corner­ stone more than eighty years ago, and that ideal has con­ tinued to live through eight decades of educational achievement. ’ ; ■ : U St. Helen’s Hall, the only accredited junior college cxclusivel) for young women in the state of Oregon, traces its origin to an institution organized to meet the needs of the daughters of the pioneers. The school was founded by the Episcopal church in 1861, and in 1932 the junior college was established to supplement the ele­ mentary and high schools. i j • , 1’ Since the institution has always had a tendency to enrich its curriculum progressively, the junior college in 1937 augmented its educational opportunities by affiliat­ ing with the School of Nursing of the Good Samaritan hospital. %\ • ..V To proceed “Onward, ever onward” is truly the aim of St. Helen’s Hall junior college in its educational pro­ gram and fulfillment of its ideals.

SOPHOMORE CLASS LEADERS The 1942 graduates have been active to the cnth degree in every junior college activity from scholastic achievement and superiority in science to invigorating athletic participation and wholesome social life. By ambitiously selling doughnuts and sponsoring a fortune-telling concession at the annual May Carnival, the girls worked together to assist the yearbook financially and to present a class gift to the school. Among the events so memorable to every graduate. Baccalaureate service is one of the most impressive. This year’s sermon was delivered by the Right Reverend Benjamin D. Dagwell at Trinity church on May 24. Preceding the spring dance, May 29, sophomores gathered for a formal dinner at the University club.

The ideal of service was especially evident during the I hanksgiving and Christmas holidays, when Angelas members presented food and gifts to needy families. Because of the many students who remain unrecognized for their activities, quiet loyalty to the Hall, and sincere friendliness toward everyone, Angelas introduced the girl uf-the-month award last year. My mo Povey, Shirley Casebeer, Betty Dcutsch, Dorothea 'Thomas, and Mary Anna Eckman were presented with awards this year. The tapping of new members took place during the 1 orchlight Procession and was followed by the impressive initiation in the college chapel in May. DELTA PSI OMEGA The Sara Siddons chapter of Delta P<i Omega, national honorary fraternity in dramatic art. has introduced several “firsts’ in pledging this year. Four sopohomores. June Page.

At the combined business and social meetings held at mem­ bers’ homes each month, scenes from well-known plays and reviews of the authors’ lives were presented. Under the chairman, Betty Deutsch, the club held a success­ ful candy sale before the Christmas holidays. Other activities of the year were a joint Understudy-Studio dance and a joint Understudv-Delta Psi Omega assembly, at which a panel dis­ cussed motion pictures as a means of war escapism. In the spring the club entertained members of Delta Psi Omega at a progressive dinner.

The H club was organized within the Athletic association to further extracur­ ricular participation in sports. 1 hirtcen charter mcmbeis. Martha Bcndixcn, Bette Luplow, Betty Dcutsch, Pat Bone, Pat Duffy, Roberta Perkins, Kimi Tanida, Dorothea 1 homa>, Dorothy Johnson, Shircen Hall, Grace Powell, Barbara Ciawford, and Rosanne Weil, were initiated into the club in March. Each girl in order to qualify for membership had to complete ten hours of active participation in sports to earn one hundred points. Tennis, badminton, swimming, tumbling, and horse­ back riding were the acceptable sports. The H club assembly consisted of a demonstration by stu­ dents of the classes taught in the physical education department of the junior college and a comedy-tumbling exhibition by the instructors and advisers. Miss Tomme Nell Jackson and Mrs*. Charlotte Anderson. The May Carnival, held May 6, was under the direction of the H club, although each student organization in the junior college prepared and managed a concession. 1 he election of the May queen and court and the coronation ceremony and entertainment were two of the major responsibilities of the members. Dorothy Johnson was chairman of the nominating committee, with Myrno Povey, Verna Smith, and Elia Leibold assisting her. �MAY FETE COURT : • '•I - ! a.•i! i ri . i f' ' : <• Princesses Hetty, Dons, Pat, and Auc.cn Queen Dolores Gracious Queen Dolores 1 ; lovely Princesses Aileen, Betty, Doris, and Pat; and the comical jesters have won an unforgettable place in the hearts of loyal student and faculty subjects at the 1942 May fete. In 1935 the Athletic Association originated the May Carnival at St. Helen’s Hall junior college. There were booths and concessions sponsored by various school organizations, and a royal court elected from the sopho­ more class, to reign over the festivities. The laugh-pro­ voking jesters were selected from freshmen ranks. Each year the May fete has proved more popular, and this spring festivities reached a climax. Incorporating campus day and the party for high school girls with the carnival was a novel, welcome idea, since classes were dismissed. Students donned shorts to beautify the campus in the morning; then after pausing for lunch, they worked with renewed vigor to decorate club booths in the gymnasium. Prospective students arrived for a picnic supper pre­ ceding the coronation ceremonies and entertainment. When carnival activities ceased, tired, happy girls, still chatting about the royal entourage, were ready to retire after a successful May 6. �; ' ; 1 11 :■ : FOOTLIGHTS t 1 ' fs V: ■ i I .. i f: ;m Lights! Curtain! Action! And another season of dramatic enter­ tainment opened with the college players of St. Helen’s Hall junior college presenting a rollicking melodrama, She was Only a banners Daughter. To the munching of peanuts and the sipping of cider, served for proper dramatic effect in beer mugs, by the new, wide-eyed fresh­ men, dastardly Mulberry Foxhall, impersonated by the long-legged ___ Caroline Holloway, caressed “his” mustache and pursued the virtuous ■ Buttercup Spivens, played by flirtatious Yvonna Prather, across the stage, while the noble hero, Archibald Achilles Smithcrs, better known as Aileen Bradshaw, strode to the rescue. In October, Delta Psi Omega Stunt Nitc, entitled College Daze. brought such an enthusiastic response from its original audience that it was twice repeated. In the course of College Daze, a burlesque of university life and modern education, a timid freshman, played by Harriet Kowitt, wandered into a “typical” college, where she was lulled to sleep by an Academic Guide, pedanth portrayed by Aileen Brad­ shaw. A hilarious and awful nightmare of the various phases of college life followed, with cap-and-gowned professors. Mary Ellen Foland, 'l vonna Prather, and Caroline Holloway, loudly acclaiming the wondorr of their courses. Delta Psi Omega alumnae entered into the spirit of the production by portraying the alumnae group of the mythical college. In direct and vivid contrast to these wild comedy moods was the timeless element and spiritual appeal of The Women of Bethlehem, an inspiring and impressive Christmas play. Robed in vari-colorcd gar ments and soft, flowing veils, the actresses attempted to recreate with simplicity and dignity the age-old story o fthc birth of Christ. Notable in the performance was the lullabyc sung by unseen angel voices over the creche of the infant Jesus. The first major production of the year, the fifth annual experi­ mental night, was a dramatic adaptation of the letters of Elizabeth Barrett to Robert Browning. The play, entitled Elizabeth, was given, in accordance with the experimental nature of the evening, in an im­ pressionistic manner on a tw’o-level stage, with but a suggested set. The curtains were never drawn during the performance, the continuity being carried by Caroline Holloway, who, as Elizabeth Barrett, con­ nected the various scenes by her sensitive and moving rendition of Elizabeth’s letters. Yvonna Prather, as bombastic Henrietta, and Aileen Bradshaw, as dignified Arabel, Elizabeth’s two sisters, gave effectively dramatic performances in this tale of the great invalid poetess. Humor w as achieved by Nancy Hallock, in the role of the lisping Bella, Eliza­ beth’s cousin, and by Harriet Kowitt, in the role of Elizabeth’s Cock­ ney maid, Wilson. Brief scenes from various full-length plays completed the program. § b i I fi i’' I V fI j: If! Y i �1 : I mi ;■ m J ■ "111 v.

No Time For Comedy, revised by Carolyn Gordon Bowers, the dramatic season was brought to a successful close. i? ; • 3 r* 1 ‘ No Time For Comedy concerns the lives of three denizens of a world of sophistication, wit, and chaos. Yvonna Prather gave an ex­ cellent portrayal of Linda Esterbrook, famous actress who attempts to retrieve her husband, Gay, a successful playwright of comedy, from the clutches of an utterly feminine but insidious woman, Amanda Smith, who has convinced Gay that he is wasting himself by writing comedy* As a result, Gay. under the influence of Amanda, who loves to develop his latent possibilities, almost ruins himself and his career by writing a tragedy on immortality. Mary Ellen Foland as Amanda was convincing as the aesthetic se­ ductress. Dan Wessler as Gay and Dunny Smith as Philo Smith, Amanda’s intellectual husband, who falls in love with Linda, were effective additions to the play. The original cast of No Time For Comedy included only three women. To adapt Behrman’s play to include seven women, Miss Bow­ ers added five characters. Dolores Ashkar as Joy Esterbrook, Gay’s younger stage-minded sister; Caroline Holloway playing Phyllis Smith, an indifferent feminine replica of her father, Philo; Aileen Bradshaw in the role of Christine, loyal social secretary to Linda; Nancy Hallock as the bombastic producer and director, Margalo Thurman; Harriet Kow'itt portraying Meredith Lovell, the English social and political columnist; and Jcanna Gray and Eleanor Dodson as maids completed the cast. Technical staff for the spring play included Jeanna Gray, stage manager; Elia Leibold and Grace Powell, costume mistresses; Eleanor Dodson, property manager; Margaret Black, staff artist; June Page, business manager representing Delta Psi Omega and Understudy; Verna Smith, business manager representing the sophomore class; and Margaret Trouton, head usher. i ; .* - �S P O RTS “Service! Love-fifteen.” This has been one of the most frequently heard cries this year at St. Helen’s Hall junior college. Why? Because most of the students arc tennis enthusiasts. The girls, too many to mention all their names, have become highly proficient at the game. Every sunny day brings good-natured vying for use of the tennis courts, the losers going to the side-lines to form a critical gallery w hile waiting for their turns. The “ping ’ of a tennis racket when a ball hits it and the erv, “Ducce point,” will be long remembered by all the students. Many girls preferred fencing, the sport known for many centuries, “On guard”, “Thrust”, “Parry” were often heard commands. At the athletic association assem­ bly the fencing class gave an exhibition. Following in the steps of Robin Hood, others of the students turned to archery, finding keen enjoyment in scoring bulls’ eyes. The gracefulness and poise of the leaps and the other figures of interpretative dancing attracted still others. For some, nothing could equal the feel of a clean cut dive or of the strong pull of the crawl. Badminton, too, was very popular. A quick flick of the wrist often turned the tide of victory. Pat Duffy, freshman, won the championship game of the badminton tournament from Myrno Povey, sophomore, at the time of the Athletic Association assembly. Since the players were so well-matched, the spectators closely watched each stroke of the game. By sports placed happy, Ti i ! ■ [y • ! ! .. : 1 !

At this very moment, Marie supposed, Miss Lamarche was making another grand entrance at one of the numerous parties given in honor of the “star’ . “It isn’t ju't," Marie breathed. “Why couldn’t she have fallen ill—just once.’5 That feeling of complete desolation and helpless wretched­ ness crept over Marie once more. Again, she had missed the oppor­ tunity to prove her dramatic talent, because she was only an under­ study. Instead of the note of sparkling expectancy that was usually so charmingly apparent in her lovely face, her eves had a beaten look, and her face was devoid of emotion, filled with utter hopelessness. y t yy ! gi* I* As she sat before her cracked old mirror, amid the litter of articles that are to be found only in a crowded dressing room— brownish colored klcene.x, portions of costumes, and old shoes—and began to cream her face, the quietness of the empty theatre settled about her and pervaded the room. She wanted to break that dread­ ful .'til 1 ness with an ovcrpoweringly great dramatic part. She wanted to make her grand entrance on that empty stage and command an awe-stricken and adoring audience to rise to its feet in acclamation of her greatness. ig T i The finality with which she wiped her face reflected her deter­ mination that this experience would come to her. T he promise of “sometime”, itself, seemed to permeate the air about her with the distant clapping of hands. Yes! Sometime! By Mary Ellen* Foland.

MY ROAD There is a road 1 love. 1 can’t remember right now just where it is, but I know l have been there. > It was a dirt road, and the clay earth, I remember, was damp and cool beneath my feet. Oceans of green stretched away on either side of my road. Slender brown branches sought to strike my head as I passed under their gentle, graceful network. As I walked, 1 watched constantly for the frail lavender flowers that were scattered along the way. They were not growing close together, nor yet far apart, but they were spaced so that each new plant filled me with the ecstatic joy of discovery. A cool breeze washed my face and play­ fully tangled my hair as I walked, and the sky laughed—whether with me or at me I do not know, but I remember that it was happy, too. 1 don't think there were any birds there, but if there were, I didn’t hear them, because the music of my own rapturous heart obliterated all other sound. The road wound to the top of a high hill, turned, and dropped suddenly from my sight. All I could see was a vast, churning, pale green mist that opposed mv eager gaze. I can’t remember what’s beyond that turn—perhaps 1 never went beyond. But someday I’ll find myself on that road again; and when I do, I’ll be sure to re­ member where it leads so that I can tell you. Maybe I’ll even tell you where the road starts, so that you can go there, too. ;' : ■ •1 : ■ i V l V-1-: 1 By Grace Powell. THE BEAUTY OF SILENCE Listen . . . Here is the music of perfect silence . . . The silence of this moment just before the dusk settles over the great white mountain when the whole world is stilled . . . The death silence of the day lost on the tall white peaks fading into blue shadows of eternal night. By Yvonna Prather. • •): \ Tl ■ ' �TRY AND TRY <« i Good ole Janet’—that’s what the kids call me. But I can assure you that they really mean, ‘She’s a good gal, good for any­ thing any time’—in other words ‘an easy sucker.’ “It all started back in 1936 when skiing was inaugurated as the college group’s latest accomplishment. The Sunday Kenny and Johnny asked me to go with them was only too thrilling—you sec, Kenny and Johnny were the junior thrills of a freshman’s heart. Dad doubled my weekly allowance three times to buy the ultrasmart fleece-lined ski trousers; Eleanor loaned me her size eight ski boots (I wear only a five) ; and other friends donated sweaters— one a gray turtle-neck affair—caps and mittens. “At Government Camp my two male idols strapped the elongated rented skis (they were out of my size) on my ‘greased barges’ filled with four pairs of wool socks to hold my feet in—and there I stood, dressed for action, at the foot of a gentle incline. “The boys decided that 1 had better try something simple before they took me to the ski bowl. You know, ‘simple things for simple souls’! Advance one step, slide back two, advance one step, slide back three—I just couldn’t get up that hill. For the following hour I listened to ‘Walk on the sides of your skis! Dig your poles in! Lean forward! Try it sideways!’ And finally, ‘o. kM you stay here and practice, and we’ll pick you up in a couple of hours. If you get to the top of the hill, by any chance, turn around and coast.’ “Funny how boys never have any patience. But I stayed and tried and tried and tried—I made it once!—just as the boys came back, four hours later. I was going to pretend that I had skied down the hill numerous times while they were gone. I figure that one should try to hide his stupidities as much as possible. So I jabbed my poles into the snow and gave a push, just as I’d seen the movie actors do it. Yowee! I must have sailed through the air, traveling at least twenty miles an hour. Of course, I’d never thought of stopping until now, so back to the movies I went: jump sort of sideways on one edge of your ski. It would have been fine, had I only executed it properly—but I didn’t. In fact one foot went this way—, and the other foot went that way—. There I was, sitting on the snow in that ‘unsitablc’ position, screaming with pain. And all those awful males would do was to hand me a ski pole and laugh. “After the tears had rolled heavily enough down my cheeks, they picked me up, and Johnny carried me ‘piggv-back’ to the car. v ■? ' fa ■ ■ •:: nI ■ I �I I ■ 1 >1 : • ■ ■?■«!■ If ■ Ifc 1. “Oh, yes, it was two months before I quit limping on two sprained ankles, but 1 tried again against Dad’s, the doctor’s, and even- one elsc’s advice. And last year I came in tenth in the Junior Ski meet at Timberline—well, at least I placed.” By Shirley Casebeer. i / ij » THE NIGHT AFTER EXAMS - -A ■'1 ; I The whole dream was like a horrible but fascinating, surreaslistic dilemma. It was like being lost in a vast, deserted Fun House, in which all the complex mechanisms had gone completely berserk and were operating crazily. Each of ‘lie noisy concessions seemed to become uncanny, fearful human personalties. A huge barrel imprisoned me and kept me gleefully churning ’round and ’round in its polished crimson in­ terior. This mad whirling whipped my long black hair about my throat, and I struggled hysterically to prevent it from strangling me. Just as 1 had reached such an exhausted state that I could fight no longer, a weird, purple octopus arm thrust itself in and jerked me from the clutches of the monster, only to strap me down on the back of a fantastic mechanical grasshopper that whistled and grinned wickedly at my terrified stupefaction. He began to dance insaneli through a room completely furnished with ice-blue mirrors that gave my captor even more grotesque proportions than his own hidcousncss allowed him. A heavy, sickening scent of my favorite gardenia perfume sud­ denly pervaded the room. M\ mind was in such a dazed tumult of horror and agonv and confusion that my head seemed to snap otf and on again w ith each wild leap, and 1 wished with the fervor ol a doomed criminal that I were already dead. I closed my eyes to blot out the crazy leaping images that filled the room. A violent cessation of motion, a sudden rush of wind on my face forced my eves open again, and I realized that I was hurtling swiftly down an endless silver chute. As I gulped faster and faster for breath, a mammoth turquoise and scarlet butterfly with glassy gold eyes swooped down upon me, and I found myself soaring breathlessly through white clouds. Suddenly a second butterfly approached; and before 1 knew what had happened, it had blown me from my perilous seat, and l was falling helplessly into a dreadful doom.

We have tried to give you more; and searching, you may find glimpses of tradition, friendship, and lasting love. Cap­ turing the spirit of fellowship is an abstract effort, but the body of the yearbook is substantial. For you are here. There have been times when you worked without credit and occasions when you were praised without reason. But in these pages are records of your true achievements only. The Annual is, as its name implies, a mirror to image the facets of your youthful personality, and to retain them, scintillating, for all time. In years to come you may see yourself again as a worker in a club, as an officer in an organization, as a laughing and happy girl among your friends, or perhaps as an honored and admired member of Angelas. Glancing through the Annual, you will be reminded of still other scenes, recorded only in your memory.

We are striving — each one to give the best that is in her. We dedicate our Annual to the spirit of St. Helen's Hall, and we use as a theme the tangible effect of this spirit in our lives. This effect is expressed through the effort of each of us to climb as high as she is able. Though some reach a higher goal than others, each knows she L L L L L has done her best and experiences the satisfaction which comes with that realization.

You have learned to think; think clearly and constructively through individual difficulties, economic upheavals, political crises, and spiritual challenges. You have learned to live; live fully and satisfyingly each moment, as it unfolds to you new possibilities for growth, new knowl­ edge of humanity, new opportunities for service, new horizons for the future.

AVE ATQUE VALE [ "Hail and farewell". The class with which I entered the Junior College is now graduating. It seems impossible that these two short years are now at an end and that the ’'hail" of some twenty months ago is but a faint echo down the long corridor of time. I do want to wish you "good luck in the name of the Lord", just as fervently and honestly as I did then, and even more certainly, now that my initial stagefright has passed. Now I have to say "farewell", but as I do, will you understand it to mean fare well? There is no "end" of anything, no page marked FINIS in our book of living; mayhap a period, an indentation, a momentary stopping place. But pages continue to turn, and the brief pauses mark the chapters of our growth. Fare well means "carry on successfully", and if you continue with the same dis­ cipline as well as energy with which you have carried on so successfully during the past two years, you will indeed fare well. My prayer is simple: May you continue to grow in knowledge, in wisdom, and in favor with Sod and mankind. Ave! atque vale! h [ ! i ■ 1 ' 7 ARTHUR ALAN VALL-SPINOSA.

Truth, goodness, leadership, and generous service are the virtues symbolized in the blue Maltese Cross, emblem of Angelas. Angelas members seek to serve the college and their fellow students in countless ways. Their first efforts were toward helping to provide a happier and more satisfac­ tory adjustment to college life on the part of new students. With this end in view, members of Angelas made innumerable calls on entering students during the summer. They also planned all of the activities of Freshman Week, and were directly in charge of the events of this opening week. During the year, particularly at the time of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holi­ days, Angelas has reached outside the college itself, extending its ideal of service to those in need of help. The families "adopted" by Angelas at both Thanksgiving and Christmas received abundant food, toys, clothes, and good cheer. The Angelas award to a girl-of-the-month, one who has given quiet and unosten­ tatious evidence of her cooperation, friendliness, and loyalty to the school, was first given in March and has been received by three girls during the spring. The year's activities ended with the impressive tapping of new members at the Torchlight procession, followed by the annual initiation. �DELTA PSI OMEGA L L Third Row: E. Arnreiter, Y. Prather, P.

On October 30, as the fourth annual Stunt Night program, two Chinese plays were presented in traditional manner. Chinese music was played; and rice cakes, candied ginger, and specially blended tea were served during the intermission. In March, in conjunction with the Understudy club, which is sponsored by Delta Psi Omega, an assembly was given for the student body. The program was in the form of a panel discussion concerning the importance of the theatre and screen as agents of effective emotional propaganda during the present international crisis. £ Special social events of the year included a reunion party for active members and alumnae during the Christmas holidays; a dinner meeting for the Understudy club; and the traditional Awards' Tea, which was held May 17. At that time, awards were presented for outstanding contributions made by students to the dramatic life of the college. Delta Psi Omegas pinned pledge ribbons on ten girls and formally initiated three new members in March.

Understudy was organized for first-year dramatics students by * Delta Psi Omega. Each year since, it has been reorganized and has grown enough in membership to make itself increasingly important to the drama of the school. Members serve as the stage crew for all dramatic productions. Each month they hold a business meeting at the college and a social meeting at a member's home. Scenes are presented by members at these social meetings, and occasionally a guest speaker talks on some phase of dramatics. Activities this year included a candy sale at Christmas and joint sponsorship of a dance with Studio club in April. For their annual gift to the dramatics department, members have renovated all the stage furniture and presented several new pieces to the department.

Kaufman (By special arrangement with The Dramatists' play service) FOR the major production of the spring, the College Players presented a rollicking, T drawing-room comedy of the women behind politics, the theme of the play was forcefully illustrated by its many and varied feminine characters, who, by fair means or foul, managed to control the government. From the well-bred sarcasm of Lucy Chase Wayne and the low-bred acid of Irene Hibbard, the two most glamorous women in Washington, to the crusading smugness of Mrs. Louella Mae Creevey, presi­ dent of the Peace, Purity, and Patriotism League, and the beguiling sweetness of Emmy Lou Paige from Mississippi, the playwrights give us the answer to what lies behind a presidential nomination; and the ansv/er is, "Cherchez la femme!“ FIRST LADY was the first production in the modern genre yet attempted by the College Players and so marked another milepost in their program. It also inaugurated a new policy of giving two performances instead of the customary one. The play was revised by the director, Caroyln Gordon Bowers, to meet the needs of the group.

NE of the most unusual offerings ever attempted by the College Players was ^ the experimental presentation in January of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca. Prepared as the major attraction of the Players' fourth annual Experimental Evening, Rebecca was enacted on a two-level stage, against an impressionistic setting. Al­ though the play ran somewhat over an hour in length, the curtains were never drawn. A dimmer was used to black out the stage at the end of each scene; and in the dark­ ness, the voice of the narrator, the second Mrs. de Winter, carried on the thread of the strange, atmospheric tale. An unusual and rather remarkable feat was accom­ plished by Jane Deacon, who played the second Mrs. de Winter, in that she made three complete and many partial costume changes in the pitch darkness on the stage, while simultaneously maintaining the narrative. Outstanding impersonations were played by Seorgie Lou Gage as Beatrice Lacy, Maxim de Winter's sister, and by Elizabeth Arnreiter, as old Mrs. de Winter, the deaf grandmother. The Experimental Evening program also included excerpts, directed and rehearsed by the students themselves, from Green Grow the Lilacs by Lynn Riggs, from Peter Pan by Sir James Barrie, and from Stage Door by Edna Ferber and George S. Kauf­ man. Lornelle Kennedy as Peter Pan especially delighted the audience with her deli­ cate movements and elfin whimsicality. A Christmas play was presented by the Players just before the holidays. Patricia Simmons as the Virgin Mary, singing a lullabye over the cradle of the holy babe, beautifully and effectively portrayed the age-old meaning of the Christmas season. With the May presentation of Dayton and Kaufman's First Lady, the college dramatic season came to a close. r_ J H r.r r, i �r? 3i nr Presenting Her Royal Highness of the May Carnival . . . L1 ■ ■ I I N 1935 the Athletic Association planned the first May carnival at St. Helen's Hall Junior College! It was I spring. Spring is a time of fetes, and so the now traditional May carnival was appropriately inaugurated during that month. There were the usual booths and concessions, and at this first carnival the choosing of the queen was just another event in the main affair. The May fete was such a success that the Athletic Associalion voted to repeat it the following year. In 1936, a dance at the end of the carnival was sponsored by the International Relations club. Hence, the custom arose of concluding the evening with a dance sponsored by some organization. The 1941 May carnival, ruled by Queen Robin I, has taken an enviable place among the traditional Athletic Association festivals at St. Helen's Hall Junior College.

Douglas Malloch l 1 L �I I ; j : �f I ' . �Random Thoughts A LMOST midnight . . . the house is quiet and peaceful as I sit at my desk. I close the last book and push it gently aside. Turning the lamp low, I lean for­ ward to the wide-open window before me and momentarily catch the breath of early spring in the soft night air. I relax and feel the enveloping stillness and tranquility of night. Then it is that random thoughts come to me, weaving their pattern of reminiscence and reflection. The soft night breeze drifts in, and its very softness and coolness recall another night such as this . . . the night we went to hear a charming Negro soprano's con­ cert. Our seats were located high above the others; the auditorium was crowded with enthralled listeners, but the music touched us until those around us faded away, and the singer seemed to direct her songs to us alone. I remember how we left the concert, filled with rich music. We were unwilling to lose the deep, esthetic enjoyment we had found, and so we drove far into the night until we came to a quiet place high on the hills, from where we could look deep into the valley; here, under the heaven's midnight blue sprinkled with metallic starlight, we recaptured a portion of the fullness of beauty in the music we had shared. That night was like this . . . soft and cool and infinitely peaceful. Midnight . . . the wind is stirring now, and it ruffles the window curtains over a group of books which line one side of my desk. I catch the neatly-printed title of a small volume—Robert Nathan’s Autumn. Many times I have read its pages, finding them full of simple but rich truths, expressed in quiet wisdom and philosophy. I recall one passage . . . "What are the good things of life . . . ? Love, peace, the quiet of heart, the work of one's hands. Perhaps it is human to wish for more, But to be human is not always to be wise." Here, indeed, is food for thought. Past midnight ... I snap off the lamp and let the pale glow of starlight melt into the room. I look up to the star-studded sky and a deep wonder fills me—wonder and awe in the thought that these same stars have been with the world from the very moment of its creation. What a great parade of humanity they have seen; what change and chaos and progress of man they have witnessed. Yet they remain shining and unwavering as ever, calmly surveying all that goes on below them. I wonder if they hear the hopefully whispered appeals of little children as they turn their young faces heavenward in naive faith . . . "starlight, starbright, first star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might have the wish I v/ish tonight." I wonder if they feel the con­ stant gaze of the star-splitters who, armed with man-made telescopes and similar devices, attempt to read the mysteries that lie above. I wonder if these same stars are touched by the invocation of lovers who have found the beauty of starlight re­ flected in the hearts of their beloved ones. I wonder if they look down on man, ridiculing his ignorant fight against fellow man for gain and power, which is external­ ized always in cruel wars and heartless persecutions. I wonder . . . The wind has calmed again. Random thoughts have come and gone, and once more everything seems unruffled and placid in the quiet serenity and peace of deep night; only the occasional whisper of the soft night wind blends with the faint, noc­ turnal notes of the crickets. —YOSHI YOSHIZAWA. NIGHT The earth is quiet. It has been lulled to sleep by the cricket's song. The sleepy wind sighs through the feathery trees. High above, the moon is a marble disk against The still night sky. It moves smoothly, swiftly, on its velvet path. The silvered surf pounds beneath it now. Soon its path will lie softly on the gently swelling sea. —ELIZABETH ARNREITER �u ! 1 r Nature’s Mirror The day, the place, the scene around—they season all my moods; in tune. As Nature barters calm for storm, my thoughts are changed _ A seaward glance will prove the truth that thoughts are sometimes built Around the fickle skeleton of nature s changing ways. Some days are built for dreams, and some for climbs in dreams to come. And some are made for racing with the wind, and racing done, For searching far horizons for the answer to this tale. A golden day, majestic, fit for feasts of ancient lore— I feel content with all the v/orld, content with Sod and man; The sun is warm, the breeze is breach—no greed nor hate nor wrong But omnipresent peacefulness of lying on the sand With placid satisfaction and security that comes In listening to the lazy, lulling lapping on the shore. And now a day with leaping surf, with flying whirls of sand; The indistinct and grayish stretch of sky and water one; The quickening, stimulating wind that urges me to search For places never seen before—the goal beyond the hill. There's inspiration to achieve, for sharp days make clear thought. I want to run against the rain that splashes clean my face, I want to climb the highest crest and stand against the wind. The force around me lends a strength; reality looms near To answer every doubt—and understanding joins content. My mind is always changing in a score of little ways, And yet, my every mood still echoes Nature's choice of days. —JANE DEACON. On Time? HE was sure it was the right bus because she had looked at the sign in front twice; the conductor had told her it was the right bus when she asked, but as she sat dov/n, a feeling of tension and nervousness still clung to her. This must be the right bus because the conductor had said it was, but would she get there on time? It would be foolish to ask the conductor because, after all, what difference would a few minutes make? She sat rather stiffly on the seat as the bus moved on and noticed that her fingers, of their own ,accord, were folding and refolding the transfer. Was it warm in the bus, or was she just hot? She looked eagerly at every clock passed and com pared it with her watch. Each clock told a different time, and she wondered visibly which one was right and if her own watch were fast or slow. She consciously tried to relax but couldn't for long. That block seemed familiar; was half or a third of the trip left now? Well, if it was late, it was late, and there was nothing to do about it. She flung herself back onto the seat with a provoked frown on her face, studiously looking at the bus advertisements. Gradually her gaze returned to the window. There—that was the block, wasn’t it? Yes, it was. She pulled the bell cord and v/alked calmly and sedately down the aisle to the door. —JEANNA GRAY. DAWN It is four o'clock in the morning. The only sound is the rustle of old newspapers, as the wind nudges them along the streets. The only v/atchers are the white-faced mannequins behind plate glass windows. White, white faced mannequins whose hats slant at dizzy angles. —ELIZABETH ARNREITER : r- ... [ [ t. [ [ L I [ [ [ E rj. i 1 i i �i J 4 . n :r T TH T "Violets?" \ j VOLETS? Violets? Would the pretty lady like some violets?" The crowded V restaurant turned a dumb, oblivious back to the little figure who persistently cried his wares . Eagerly he advanced to an obviously in-love couple, and, displaying the purple beauty before the girl’s pathetically eager eyes, he whispered, "Violets?" The boy's mute appeal and embarrassed refusal made the little, white-haired vendor clear his throat and hastily move on. The cruel refusal by a scornful woman forced a rebellious surge through his frail, indignant form. If a casual observer would but look closely at him, he would notice, first, bright little eyes of startling blueness, piercingly analytical. Then the onlooker's eyes would travel next to an unusually full lower lip that quivered unmistakably—though its owner would vehemently deny it—when flow­ ers were rudely pushed aside. When the stately little gentleman talked, his white, well-kept, little beard bobbed jerkily up and down. Wistfully he gazed at the welldressed men who discussed baseball and the stock market between vigorous bites of steak. With a rueful smile he would pick an imaginary speck off his shabbily genteel clothes and then pull his coat tighter over his thin shoulders. Once, at refusal, more pamful because it was disinterested, he paused momentarily and looked at the floor as if something unusual was there. He looked so tiny and so solitary amid the busy ufe around him. No, that couldn t have been a sob shuddering through his body. Probably he was cold. Then, with a cheery, determinedly gay smile, he lifted his head, proudly took a few steps forward, and called, "Violets? Would the pretty lady like some violets?" —VIRGINIA CASKEY, rr r CLOUD PICTURE RAIN ■t* r. r1 J J J J i IT— : r The strands Of rainbov/s soft Of colored ribbons stretch Across the mussed-up sky to tie The clouds.

THUNDER of applause rang in Rhae’s ears as she stood spellbound—gazing into ' \ the eyes of her ardent and admiring audience. Her ambition had been won, and now she was experiencing the feelings of which she had always dreamed. Excited shafts of joy darted in and out of her heart, each one plucking a string lightly enough to cause her body to shiver a bit. Tiny thrills raced from the tips of her toes to the very tiptop of her blond, curly head. They tickled her spine and made her whole body tingle with joy. Her heart poured its warmth out to the idolizing group of faces, and it seemed to skip a beat every time the applause broke into an even louder thunder than before. Her heart was surrounded with joyous emotions, each striving for dom­ inance and all of them making Rhae feel as though her heart were going to burst if they didn t stop chasing each other around. Her whole form seemed to be illumi­ nated by its intense joyousness. For a moment Rhae felt that she was floating on clouds of glory and that the sound of applause was wind blowing violently into a louder and louder crescendo. She felt that her face was reflecting the feelings which were chasing around in her heart and was trying to contact each adoring face, giving it an expression akin to that feeling in her heart. So great was her joy that she didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. All Rhae knew was that a worshipping audience had pro­ duced a stinging sensation around her heart and that she was experiencing the happiest moment of her life. —DORIS BALZIMER. i J j �Top left: BEST TYPICAL, P, Simmons.

It is a r world in which the fundamental prin­ ciples of freedom of speech, worship, ^3 and thought are threatened. My highest I hope from the past is that during these ; “3 two years you may have gained some fr ^SS conception of the value of these free­ I doms and such habits of thinking as will 1 JI3 T n make possible the intelligent utilization of them. My most aspiring hope for the r I i future is that you will help to bring into American life the honesty of purpose, p the sincerity of spiritual outlook, u** r * the GERTRUDE HOUK FARISS soundness of thinking, and the sanity of Academic Dean judgment which are essential to the existence of democracy. £ The privilege of education is an inval­ i uable gift, one which carries with it the Ss obligation upon every student of elimi­ rC r nating from his thinking the tendencies toward racial prejudice, religious intol­ 'Nl erance, and political inertia. May the fr: members of this graduating class be i-r among those Americans who apply their ip ■s every ability to the determined retention of all that is constructive and best in our ’i” traditional democracy, who direct their v m. •p unceasing efforts toward building in ac­ cordance with a constantly higher and ‘P it ±£ ■C fC more idealistic pattern of democratic ENA MARSTON living.

ARTHUR A. VALL-SPINOSA Chaplain THAT YOU MAY LIVE GRACEFULLY . . One cannot help but be impressed by the im­ mense amount of literature published today for women and girls on the general topic of what, we are pleased to call “graceful living". It is most strange that while a deliberate at­ tempt is being made, by illustrations and adver­ tisements, to equate graceful living with luxuri­ ous living, we must necessarily be impressed, if we think at all, by the vast amount of work and energy necessary to convey that idea. Modeling is a strenuous job, photography and printing are arts, publishing is a large scale business; in a current magazine Mile. Eva Curie tells how the French designers continue their work in the midst of war. In sum, and simply enough, it is the ideal held by the historical church since time immemorial; namely, that none may achieve a luxurious life, in other words, live gracefully, without a tremen­ dous sacrifice upon the part of someone. My prayer, that you may live gracefully, is mitigated with a hope that, as you become “as polished corners of the temple", you may be ever mindful of the workmen in the same. Your life is God's gift to you—live luxuriously. What you do with your life is your gift to God— live gracefully. ARTHUR A.

The play was especially revised by Carolyn Gordon Bowers, director, to meet the needs of the group presenting it. "Alison's House" unfolds the story of the influence which Alison, the poet, long-dead, exercises over various members of her immediate family. The play creates a new insight into the mind and heart of the poet. Guest players from the University of Portland were again selected to play the men's roles, this making the second year in which men have participated in the college play. "Alison's House" marked the first occasion of a Pulitzer Prize play being presented at St. Helen's Hall Junior College. THE CAST Director... ........ Carolyn Gordon Bowers ANN LESLIE...........

Delta Psi Omega President Secretary-Treasurer Vera West Barbara Minor Dorothy Dicks Vice-President Adviser Miss Carolyn Gordon Bowers In accordance with a program determined early in the year, this national dramatic honorary fratemiiy has pointed its endeavors toward keeping alive in the college an active interest in the art of the theatre. The Understudy Club, formed under Delta Psi Omega auspices, has continued to grow under their sponsorship in size and strength until it has assumed almost independent pro­ portions. Stunt Night, a Delta Psi Omega mid-year project, witnessed a "mellerdrammer" of the old school, "The Diamond in the Rough" or, "Purity Has No Price", with members of the cast indulging in an hilarious Olio after the play for the amusement of the audience. The audi­ ence, seated around small tables, had bags of peanuts thrown to them and were served cider in mugs by waitresses (Understudy members) of the gay 90's. Among other activities of the year Delta Psi Omega sponsored a Mothers' Club meeting in January, doing both the serving and the entertaining. In February four new members were initiated, and five girls were pledged. The ritual was revised prior to winter initiation, and a new ceremonial song written. The final social project of the year was the annual Awards Tea given at the home of Gertrude Houk Fariss, on Saturday, June 1. At this tea the Delta Psi Omega award of a year's subscription to "Theatre Arts Monihly", given annually to a non-member of the fra­ ternity who has contributed most to ihe dramatic life of the college, was presented to Ruth Director. �I *1 i FRONT ROW Ann Hawkins, Ruth Director, lane Deacon, Dorothy McBreen.

During the past year the Understudies' varied activities have included talks on differ­ ent aspects of the theatre by either student or guest speakers, managing the backstage details of the Delta Psi Omega performances, the collection of material for a scrapbook, and as the major project the production of a play. Social events for the year included a box luncheon at Ruth Director's, a dessert during Christmas vacation at the home of Dorothy McBreen, and a luncheon at Lipman and Wolfe's tea room for the presentation of new Understudy pins. �3 a L 3 r. p p p p 3 3 3 3 3 p 3 3 p p p P P P P ?

Glee Club Student Chairman Mrs. Clorinda Topping Accompanist Lillian Spahn Mrs. Ann Hildenbrandt Director Continuing the work of the group which was newly organized last year, the Junior College Glee Club sang for the Mothers' Club at the December meeting. The program in­ cluded "Gesu Bambino” and several familiar Christmas carols. For their main project of the year, the girls undertook something which had never been done before in Portland. With the aid of the high school Glee Club, they prepared the ethereal background music of Debussy's setting for "The Blessed Damosel” by Rossetti, which was presented March 19 with the Portland Philharmonic Orchestra, under the baton of Leslie Hodge, director. During the three weeks' rehearsal period the girls were directed by Mrs. Ann Hilden­ brandt and supervised by Mr. Hodge. Mrs. Clorinda Topping accompanied the Glee Club in their rehearsals. As Mrs. Hildenbrandt received many congratulatory comments upon the girls' singing and as an invitation was extended to them to appear again with the orchestra, the per­ formance may be ranked as an outstanding achievement for St. Helen's Hall and the Junior College. �1 : 3 I 18 I ! 8 I ! 8 I : 8 I ! 8 I ! 8 I !=3 .

The tendrils of the low-hanging weeping willows were caressed by each lap of waves against the rocks. A breeze swept flurries of dry leaves across the weathered planks of the tennis court and brushed a fir bough across the roof of the lodge. Then, all was still—the only movement being the gentle swaying of boats at the dock. f? $ f. $ How peaceful it was—yet how lonely. I remembered the picnics in the afternoon, the overnight stays in the long rows of bunks, the evening "get-togethers" in the lodge where we had been inspired by group discussions on far-reaching subjecis or more intimate matters. K I loved the gay parties, the splashing of swimmers in the water, the shouts of girls echoing among the trees, laughter and the melody of their songs around the outdoor fire in the evening. Twilight brought coolness and lagging canoes gliding homeward. 3 The day faded into twilight as I sat reminiscing, but only shadows wandered on the lake. Only in my imagination was the still beauty transformed into vibrant lifel That is the memory of Everglades I wish to cherish. f? 3 3 3 2 2 3- _ 3 2 3 3 1 3 1 12 / —Betty-Jo Shown. �:J+ iZteMtts ■* W ■ ES r'E Mrs *-<M m I J— ' ■ - T §::|i CAUTION1k 7 ’•; I'j >E ^ 'KN I" ' -E I" *x^r- v'. e= 8 Jsrf ��1940 Scintilla Poetry Award TO PHANTASMA By PEGGY BROOKE Once a fever's fitful fancy wrought a dream Of voices and a plashing, A rippling and a splashing— The sound of many voices o'er a stream. Peering into misty space, Something seemed to deaden sight. Naught appeared of form or face In the murky, leaden light— A host of formless shadows at my side, In the passive river's ever-moving tide, And their presence caused no quiver, On the surface of the river. From the dimness welling, Rising, falling, fading, swelling— Voices all around, A most melodious sound— Sound of voices softly calling, Rising, swelling, fading, falling. The river gently surging, A forward movement urging— I felt myself resisting, The moving tide insisting. There was no sound of laughter, With echoes following after. There was no sound of gladness— Only sounds of solemn sadness— A hosi of formless shadows at my side, In the languid river's ever-moving tide, And their presence caused no quiver, On the surface of the river. I could not limn the figment, Had I canvas, brush, and pigment. The murmur of sad voices, o'er a stream— A rippling and a splashing, A pleasing, plaintive plashing And shadows sweeping by me, in my dream.

Won't you know that the smile we exchanged in a glance Will soften the oncoming sorrow? Don't you see, my dear, that as long as we both Feel the joy of the moments we glean, We can live them again and love them as well, As the time they first patterned our dream? —Frances Chaney.

Girls scurried from the main building to the sunlit porch of the dormitory or wandered to and fro, looking for a comfortable spoi where they could eat and chatter during the short lunch hour. On a bench by the chapel door a sophomore sat, half screened by the leafy branches of a shrub that nestled near the sun dial. She might have seemed lonely to a casual ob­ server, but she wasn’t. She chose to sit in this partially secluded corner, where she hoped to untangle the turbulent thoughts and feelings that had taken possession of her. Up to this moment she had been wholly occupied with school activities: papers, tests, scientific experi­ ments, club meetings, sports, and social events. But suddenly spring chanced by, renewing life and inviting carefree indulgence in its invigorating atmosphere. High spirits prevailed at the Hall and brought relief from the mental strain of the long winter months. The exuber­ ance, the joy of living, brought with it something else, however, something that chilled the heart of the sophomore. She was thinking of this same gay period of the year before when she had been a freshman, happy and light-hearted, remembering that the weeks had flown from then until commencement time. Commencement had been beautiful, yet somehow sad, even then—and now it was approaching again. She began to realize fully how much her life at the Hall had meant to her, how crowded the fleeting hours had been. There were hours of hard, exhausting work; moments stolen for play; small triumphs and momentary disappointments. The highlights of this last year passed before her in panoramic view: Freshman Week with eager, humble nobodies wanting to belong . . the first Student Body dance with freshmen somewhat abashed at the prospect of meeting all who were on the list of patrons and patronesses . . . Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets everyone sharing and finding her own celebration richer because of that sharing . . . term papers, vacation, and exams ... a strenuous combination of fun, excitement, and slaving over the last 499 words necessary to finish the 5000 word paper . . . the new term, each girl vowing silently, "I'll never leave things to the last minute again" . . . Valentine's Day and the dean's birthday, sincere "out-of-tune" renditions of "Happy Birthday" ringing through the halls . . inter­ collegiate conferences with enthusiastic delegates bringing glowing reports from other schools . . . Cotton Day and Campus Day, with informality and fun the passwords for par­ ticipation . . . the spring play, climax of the work of the drama department and another out­ standing triumph for the school, crowning success because or in spite of the number of box lunches thrown into its production . . . selection of the May Queen and the glorious climax to weeks of speculation and anticipation, the May Carnival., clubs vieing with each other in resourcefulness of booths . . . week-ends at Everglades . . . elections of Student Body officers for the coming year . . . exams again . . . the Sophomore banquet and spring formal, cul­ mination of all the best dreams that a girl at the Hall can have . . . Baccalaureate, distribu­ tion of the Scintilla and the Torchlight Procession, forecasting already the regime of the coming year . . . and finally Commencement, the most beautiful conclusion possible for two years filled to the brim v/ith cherished memories which pass in review, keeping time to the strains of "Pomp and Circumstance". And still more wonderful are the even stronger bonds v/hich tie the memories together . . . understanding, kindness, and friendships, all blending into a deep feeling for the Hall, symbolized by ihe quiet inspiration of the simple, sunlit chapel. The sophomore was brought back to reality by the insistent ringing of the bell which marked the end of the lunch hour. Her eyes were moist but in her heart she was content and thankful for tv/o completely happy years. She arose with a sigh and started back io mingle v/ith her gay companions. As she walked, her gaze wandered upward, and she glimpsed a fleecy cloud moving behind the corner of the dark brick building, against which was silhouetted the outline of the cross. For a moment she was spellbound by the beauty of the picture.

The immeasurable knowledge that you have attained in heart and will as well as intellect will always be, but count­ less joys and memories would aug­ ment the enjoyment if they were but recalled more oft. r i ! \ ' It is small.

This aspiration is admirably sum­ med up in words which are familiar to everyone who has worshipped at Mattins in the Junior College Chapel, where week by week we offer our prayers up unto One "Whose service is perfect freedom" The Collect for Peace, from which these words are taken, is one of the most venerable in our Book of Common Prayer, and has been in use among Eng­ lish Churchman since the days when St. Augustine brought the Latin Office to the British Isles in the sixth century. The trenchant phrase Cui servire regnare est, literally, "Whom to serve is to reign" was given a typically Anglo-Saxon turn when at the time of the English Reformation Thomas Cranmer translated it as "Whose service is perfect freedom", thus linking up man's natural urge for liberty with his fidelity to God's service. Christianity is not sentimentality. Not our desires, but God's laws, are the basis of our wellbeing. There are basic laws or principles of life and conduct which must be obeyed if we would attain our highest devel­ opment as human beings. Our education should enable us to attain some knowledge of these laws, and our religious life should help us direct our lives in accordance with them. We live most truly when our energies are devoted to the attainment of some high purpose The Chapel and the classroom to­ gether are the means by which we attain to a knowl­ edge of and devotion to Him whose Service is Perfect Freedom. —RICHARD FLAGG AYRES, B.

Twenty-one contestants vied for honors in the ping pong tournament, which was won by Adele Johnson. Runner-up was Frances Robertson. Volleyball began in November with two games scheduled, one between the sopho­ mores and the freshmen, won by the latter, 38-33; and an all-star college squad against the high school, which was won by the Hall girls, 37-28. Selma Zitzer, Marjorie Ruhndorf, Jane Reith, Adele Johnson, Barbara Hermann, Anne Hughes, Jane Othus, Yvonne Lofquist and Marjorie Nelson received volleyball letters. With the new year, basketball practices commenced and continued to March 1. The sophomores tasted bitter defeat of 41-6 from a strongly organized freshmen team. A combined college team was victorious 19-18 in a close combat with the Hall high school. In a return game the high school emerged vic­ torious with a score of 32-17. Reserves of both schools clashed, with the college losing. Basketball awards were presented to Katherine Thompson, Marjorie Winslow, Betty-Jo Shown, Barbara Compton, Laura Tanelle, Roberta Romig, Adele Johnson and Barbara Hermann. Spring filled the tennis and badminton courts with c: c: �=3 =3 ■ =3 ■ 3 PflmniSS mprni 1 life mi ?,€f by the advanced fencing class of Susannah Harding, Betty Coursen, Adele Johnson, Yasuko Tsuboi, Marjorie Famell and Jane Merriman.

Skiing provides excitement for thrill-seekers on the slopes of majestic Mount Hood at famous Timberline Lodge.

This, the science honorary organization had as its most import­ ant activity the attending of the Willamette Valley Science conference at Corvallis in March. Reports of scientific experiments prepared by the Curie members, were presented by the official delegates, Frances Namba, Betty-Jo Shown, Kathryn Thompson, Maryann Long, and Dr. Alice Bahrs, advisor. Reports on the mineral activity of Oregon hot springs, speed of the digestion of hot and cold-blooded animals and correlation of height and weight with pulse rate before and after exercise were contributed by the club. The latter experiment report was given before the entire conference by Maryann Long. Main interest of the club is centered about the growth of science and the position of women in its development. Field trips were taken to Mt. Hood, Nelscott and Sandy river. c <= �I F O R U M J rl =1 =1 =1 1 '3 :a .3 ■3 31 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 FIRST BOW—B. Peterson, V. McNamee, F.

Projects included the purchasing and placing of an altar curtain and pole for the Japanese Episcopal Mission. During Christmas, a tree was decorated and presented to the mission. Altar linens were also made. Bandages were made and sent to the Hudson Strait Hospital at Fort Yukon, Alaska. The care of the college chapel was undertaken by Forum. Besides having various sales, members spent a week-end at Everglades during which time initiation of new members took place, and a trip to Mt. Hood for skiing was made in winter. �D E L T A P S I O M E G A STANDING (Left to Right)—J. Merriman, A. Jones, M Hintzon, C. Wolsh. SEATED (Left to Right)—B. Dewey, Mi3s C. Bowors, S. Harding !

Formation of the Understudy club for the first year students of dramatics was Delta Psi Omega's important project of the year. Stunt Night was presented by the club early in the fall, with three one-act plays, a romance, a comedy and a melodrama presented. Members of the Understudy club served refreshments during inter­ mission. In February seven girls were pledged for membership into this drama honorary. Every member of Delta Psi Omega took a major role in the sophomore production of "Jane Eyre". The year's subscription to the Theatre Arts Monthly was awarded to Dorthy Dicks. She was voted by Delta Psi Omega as the most out­ standing contributor of her service to the drama department.

Ai the bi-monthly meetings, the different playwrights were dis­ cussed, and scenes were presented from their most popular works. Among the scenes and the plays studied were ''Rehearsal'' by Chris­ topher Morley, "Ah Wilderness" by Eugene O'Neill, "Cavalcade" by Noel Coward, and "You Can't Take It With You" by George Kaufman. Social events included a dinner party at "Everglades" and a ' Cotton hop" in May. The Understudy members served as the stage crew for "Jane Eyre", sophomore class play. ft. f.

At these meetings at the homes of the mem­ bers, the program is provided by a guest speaker whose talk is cen­ tered on different aspects of other nations. In the past year, members of Alpha Mu Gamma and its auxiliary have had the pleasure of hearing, among others, Miss Marian Morange, who recently took a bicycle trip through France; Mrs. Peterson, v/ho spoke on the Scandinavian countries and Miss Radka Ivanakava, who told of her recent trip to Bulgaria. As its service for the year, the club sponsored the annual Christ­ mas assembly with the Rev. Lansing E. Kempton as guest speaker. Carols were sung in French, German, Russian and Latin by the lan­ guage classes. P 5 g 3 3 3 3 3 3 C Cq Cq C: �FIRST ROW -P. Akers, J. Miiler, M. Chin, N. Fifer SECOND ROW—A. Colliver, L. Webb, B.

The club entertained the Mothers' club both in the fall and in the spring, assisted in the program of the May Carnival, and appeared in a recital for Mrs. Hildenbrandt on May 12. Five selections were sung. Meeting once a week in the college chapel, the members have given their enthusiastic cooperation to an organization which they hope will become permanent at the Hall. �FIRST ROW—J. Allen, Mrs. L.

Besides the regular bi-monthly meetings, the members enjoyed two field trips this year; one to the Skidmore art museum, and to the weaving studio of Mrs, A. A. Allen. The club chose as its college service for the term, the sponsoring of an assembly speaker, Miss Dulcina Baird whose topic was interior decorating. Other activities included the making of programs and bids for college informal dances, and a trip to Mt. Hood for skiing. In the fall, a sport dance was held in conjunction with the Interna­ tional Relations club. �I FIRST ROW—B. Hermann, A. Johnson, M Ruhndorf, Miss N. Sorvice. SECOND ROW—P Akers, M.

The heads of sports are Phyllis Aker, tennis; Anne Jones, badminton; Marjorie Winslow, basketball; Beth Brown, volleyball; and Marjorie Famell, fencing. Every member of the junior college student body is automatically a member of this organization. Sales were held to purchase minor equipment, such as ping pong paddles and balls. Letters for sports and pins and medals are purchased and awarded by the association. The largest undertaking is the tradi­ tional May carnival at which time, festivity reigns at the command of her royal highness. The queen this year was selected by strict ballot and the choice of the student body was Martha Lehman. Two years before, Martha's sister, Alda, was elected queen to rule over the Hall realm. �d H A L L T R E E C3 q □ cq Q a a □ □ c c FRONT ROW—C. Welsh. A. Colliver, D. Stephens, E. Goldborg.

The improvement and the development of the Hall Tree in form, style and copy this year has been most outstanding. Six printed bi­ monthly issues of a four column publication was printed under the editorship of Suma Tsuboi early in the year. The Hall Tree was pre­ pared and financed by the students on the editorial staff and the advertising staff. After the resignation of Suma Tsuboi, which came about through her election as editor of the year-book, the position was taken over by Adele Johnson. A two-column mimeographed Hall Tree was pre­ pared every two weeks by her staff for the rest of the term. No adver­ tisement was solicited for the mimeographed issues. tc C E : e e E E E E E E E E E E E E t t t �3 a 3 3 a 3 a a a 3 3 3 P R E S s c L U B 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 TRONT ROW--A. Colliver, B.

Malcolm Bauer When Beta Phi Gamma, journalism honorary was disbanded due to small membership, out of it grew the Press club. The Press club was formerly the auxiliary of Beta Phi Gamma. The purpose of the club is to further the interests of journalism at the junior college. The Press club developed through the efforts of the advanced reporting class. The annual Cottop day in May again brought out summer enthus­ iasts bedecked in many attractive cotton frocks which were made or purchased by the students. Lovely corsages and linen were pre­ sented to Mary Tipton, Esther Lenon, Virginia Sorenson, Madeline Chin and Doris Younger for their clothes. Judging was done by Suma Tsuboi, last year's winner, Jane Reith and Barbara Hermann.

Mr. Harold Bottrell Approximately 90 students of Portland high schools and colleges were guests of this organization at a two-day conference at Everglades in April. Panel and round table discussions interspersed with social events constituted the eventful gathering. Suma Tsuboi, loan Hall, Martha Randall, Betty-Jo Shown from the Hall and Elizabeth Brown of Reed were panel discussion participants and round table chairmen. "Swing Session" with an international theme was sponsored by the club in conjunction with the Studio club in November. Jimmy King's eight-piece orchestra provided the "swing". Delegates to the Northwest Regional International Relations club conference of college students were Suma Tsuboi, Jeanne Miller, Betty-Jo Shown and Mr. Harold Botterell, advisor. The meet took place at the Central Washington College of Education at Ellensberg in March. Some of the speakers who talked to the group included, Rev. L. W. Lynne on the Munich agreement, and Dr. Yutaka Minakuchi, Japanese lecturer. Inauguration of the second-term officers took place in December at Nikko Sukiyaki House, during which time Dr. Minakuchi spoke. Aside from outside speakers panel discussions made up of club participants created many an active meeting. Lunches, or food sales were undertaken by the club during important occasions. e e= c= c= c= e= e= c= E= c c c c c c c e c e e e E e c: c E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E t t �a a a => a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a 3 a a a a a a 3 a a a a a a a a a a a a a a T H E s c I N T I L L A FIRST ROW—E.

We Owe The days have sped like meteors in flight, and yet it seems like eons since that day we stood on the threshold of a long-anticipated and thrilling adventure—participation in the life of St. Helen's Hall junior college. How experienced and awe-inspiring seemed the sophomores, greeting with shouts of exultation their friends, parted during summer vacations but now returned to the fold; with what trepidation we allowed ourselves to be herded into the library to take those fatefulsounding “aptitude tests". But the feeling of inferiority and loneliness that flooded us those first few days gradually receded. Classes settled into routine and firm friendships were made, not only with the girls in our rank of "greenhorn" but with sophomores who were found to be only human after all, and as anxious to know us as we were to know them. Yes, two years at the Hall have sped by, leaving poignant mem­ ories of those important occasions . . . the get-togethers . . . "swing sessions" . . . enjoyment in being "big sisters" to timid freshmen . . . Christmas formals and the swishing of gowns . . .

I1 . i LITERARY . 1 • I �I I I 2 3 ; �I I I The Bull in the China Shoppe To the accompaniment of the solemn tock of the grandfather clock and the sotto-voiced tick of the cuckoo clock, Mr. Kindly took his coat down from the hook behind his desk and exchanged his little, black skull cap for a weather­ beaten fedora. He tottered slowly to the door of "Ye Olde China Shoppe," but, hand on knob, paused to take a last, fond look at his precious objects before going home for the night. On shelves all around the room reposed the treasures of his heart—mugs, plates, cups and saucers, figurines—every imaginable kind of china. He looked especially at his favorites in the window—a beautiful senorita in a scarlet gown of many ruffles and high mantilla of black lace, hold­ ing a dainty fan over which glowed her dark dancing eyes. Beside her was a handsome matador in his splendid costume of many colors trimmed in gold braid. In his hands he held a crimson cape which he waved at a massive bull which stood ready to charge, head lowered and forefoot pawing the ground. Mr. Kindly placed the senorita a little closer to the senor, then went outside, and, closing and locking the door, passed by the window and went on down the street. After his departure all was quiet except for the measured, rhythmic beat of the clocks. The hours passed—ten, eleven, and as the last stroke of twelve faded away, the breath of life passed through the tiny shop. All the pieces of china heaved sighes of relief as they stretched muscles cramped from their customary positions and prepared for another hour's revelry. While everyone looked on and clapped in rhythmic time, the German beer mugs danced a bumping, clumping jig, clanking the lids of their tankards up and down and knocking their sides against one another. The plates turned cart­ wheels and a green frog with bulging eyes played "Nqla" on a row of Haviland teacups. Everyone was having a grand time when who should appear, leaning on the arm of her handsome sweetheart, but the lovely senorita from the win­ dow. The pair had come to dance for their friends, and to the delight of their audience, they twirled and whirled with gay abandon, stamping their feet madly. As they finished the dance with a graceful sweep and bowed in acknowl­ edgment of the tumultuous applause, a fierce roar shook the entire room. With snorts and bellows, the bull came charging directly at the senorita. The senor grabbed his cape, and stepping in front of her, met the beast face to face. If everything had been left to his capable hands, all might have gone well, but, unfortunately, everyone came to his rescue. Teacups began sailing through the air and a fearful clatter arose as china hit mirrors, walls, and floor. And then—grandfather, remembering his duty just in time, struck one. There was a startled silence—then a mad dash for the familiar places on the shelves. When Mr. Kindly opened the door the next morning, a strange sight met his eyes. In the middle of the floor lay the remains of a badly smashed china bull and pieces from many other china objects. It was also strange that spouts were missing from pitchers and handles from teacups. Mr. Kindly walked to the window. There, despite wide rents in her skirt and a tom mantilla, the beautiful senorita smiled roguishly at the handsome matador who stood on one leg and extended empty hands. An understanding smile lit up the face of Mr. Kindly as he removed the sign from the window which read: "Special — Five Dollars" and substituted—"An­ tiques—Priceless". HELENE ASQUITH. �DESERTED Damp shades of the day pervade the room Inviting death. A gray and ghostly light Lingers, hanging through windows, webbed As mildewed hair. Stealthily as the night A fog steals from the misty moor and blows Across the window sash, along the floor. DOROTHY STEPHENS. THE CLOUD I saw her come. She crossed the beauty of the sunset, Her gray robes billowing about her Catching the golden splendor of the setting sun. She saw the earth and man As she hovered above the unhappy world. She wept, and her tears fell warm upon the soil, And when there were no longer tears to spare She left; her robes, now, floating gossamer, Soft misty wisps sailing across the moon. BETTY DEWEY. �3 3 3 3 3 3 3 a a a Windows The clock in the steeple, high above the hurrying crowd of tired fathers and mothers turning their footsteps once again toward home, struck six o'clock and the deep, resonant sounds carried far into the distant hills. A little old lady pulled her shabby gray coat more tightly around her thin, weary body and walked slowly along the busy street, getting jostled and bumped by the young members of another generation. She stopped to gaze longingly at a show-window containing an assortment of fur coats and fall dresses. Farther on was a window full of all the groceries and good things that make up a Christmas dinner; but as she saw this, a flash of pain crossed her face and she hurried on. The long, narrow, beautifully stained windows of a church told her that she was getting nearer her destination. She stood before a stained glass image of Mary and her new born Son, and looking reverently up, crossed herself and her lips moved in silent prayer. Suddenly, realizing that a policeman across the street was watching her, she roused herself from her momentary visit with God and walked on. The windows of the houses she passed were covered with steam, and here and there were some crude faces or animals drawn by tiny, artistic fingers on the frosty panes. As she saw them, a tender smile crossed her wrinkled, kind, old face and one felt as if she, too, understood the desire to create new ideas and build a life of comfort and happiness. At the end of the lane stood a small brown cottage surrounded by fallen leaves from the stiff, barren trees which stood nearby. She opened the gate, walked up to the door and unlocked it with a tiny key. There was no fire in the fireplace, no child to draw creative pictures, no one to welcome her home after hours of tramping the streets; but she resolutely walked over to an old trunk in the corner, and, opening the lid that creaked with age, she drew from it a red wreath that is the symbol of Christmas to everyone, and placed it in her window. She, too, was filled with the spirit of thankfulness that will endure as long as there are human souls in the world. MARIAN HINTZEN. �65S CS Scenes From My Window A scene from my window in summer—the lilac loaded with its lavendar blossoms; the apple tree gaylay decorated with pink petals which drift lazily down to cover the velvet grass; a sparrow darting from his nest under the eaves to fetch a tasty bit to fill the empty mouths he has left behind; skies as blue as forget-me-nots, with here and there a cotton cloud; two ragged, barefoot boys, poles over their shoulders and cans in their hands; beds of gentle pansies, stately hollyhocks, and proud nasturtiums—over all, warm, gentle sunshine. Autumn—apple boughs weighed down by lucious burdens; the snowball and cherry radiant in robes of brown, saffron, and scarlet; a woodpecker tapping a tattoo on an old telephone pole; the chestnut laden with golden burrs; three shouting maids on roller skates; festive chrysanthemums; a small boy shuffling through the scattered leaves; tepid sunshine cuts the air of crystal clearness. Winter—a blanket of white over all; trees lifting their naked boughs to a leaden, brooding sky; dry flower stalks bending with each windy blast; two lonely, ruffled chickadees eating from a perch in the cherry tree; rosy-cheeked youngsters, bundled in warm garments, bombarding one another with snow­ balls; a solitary, defiant leaf on a topmost branch of the apple tree, resisting all tugs of the relentless North wind—oh, it yields so reluctantly and the wind, with exultant glee, swirls it madly along the snowy ground. Spring—all the world alive once more; the lilac, vibrant with awakened pulses, covered with green buds; coy violets, radiant tulips, nodding daffodils; a boy, his eyes in the heavens, flying a kite that tugs impatiently to be free of his watchful hands; in the wet grass, a robin engaging in a tug-of-war with a juicy morsel; blustery skies—scenes from my window. =f 5=T HELENE ASQUITH. =r =r rf 3 ��6= e £= c c c �IKAMIL dJoKI^EBN 610 S.
