As we stare at all this war and destruction and hate, we realize that whatever tl~ie world of tomorrow is to be is up to us. We have dreams of what our world of tomorrow shou Id be, and we are going to see it in fact as well as in ideal. The building of tomorrow’s world is going to take clear thinkers and intelligent workers. These builders must have been trained to think and act kindly. At the Hall we have received a background which should make us worthy citizens of tomorrow. So we are able to step out into any kind of a world and make it our kind of world.

One year from now we may be going to school, putting all our effort and energy into national defense or may be rejoicing over victo ry and peace Who knows? However, one thing is certain. We can see every graduate doing hi er part whether it be going to school to insure the future of an enlightened womanhood or run­ ning a bus to make it possible for the men of the nation to take part in the war. Most of us have gone to St. Helen’s Hall for four years, but even those of us who ha've been here only a short time know the difference between an egoistic and an altruistic person and we have all decided that to be the latter is the only way in which we are able to be "as tl~ie polished corners of the temple”. So, no matter what the future is, and we know it will be* a good one, we, the graduating class of 1942, will be doing our part.

S 1 c THE CHAPEL m mm The Chapel together with the ideals it symbolizes is the cornerstone of St. Helen’s Hall. As the setting for morning worship it is rendered more beautiful by the installation of several exquisite memorial gifts the mother-of-pearl processional cross, the sanctuary lamps repre­ senting the seven-fold gift of the Holy Spirit, the altar, and the pulpit. The long-desired pipe organ was presented several years ago in memory of her husband by Mrs. Walter B. Beebe; its delightful strains are an appropriate remembrance of beloved Sister Katherine Angela, whose life served to reveal the spirit of music to her associates. I ■> The simple beauty of the services which introduce each new day clarifies the purposes for which our moments are intended, and strengthens our Christian ideals, and as we leave Chapel to pursue our studies, we are thankful for those few moments of devotion and inspiration. ■ Bh C *3 t! t t t= �3 3 3 3 3 3 3 i 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 □ fcJ 3 3 E1 fc3 bJ EJ EJ EJ =3 sa =3 P3 sums �* H * q q c �=3 -3 Ti 3 .3 3 3 3 a a ;9 <^he.

Although one of its members is a Hall girl since the fifth grade and another since the eighth grade, most of the class entered the Hall in their freshman year. During its sophomore, junior, and even senior years, other active members have joined the class. i : . We are, in one sense, just an average class, an average group of girls. We have our athletes, our scholarly students. We have tall girls, short girls, and just in between girls. in another sense we are vitally different. We are fortunate in having been given a rich, background which has prepared us really to step out and meet the world—which we going to do. star But full are C q q c R r= q q q q R R q R R q q q £ & ■M �' • =1 3 a a 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 ✓ 3 3 3 3- a 3 3 P P f F t.

This honor went to Jeanne Morrison, and honorable mention to Betty Bevil and Connie Maguire The award for the greatest improvement in citizenship in the boarding department went to Patty Waters. The medal for the best essay on a patriotic subject awarded by the National Society of Colonial Daughters was won this year by Virginia Johnson, a freshman, for her essay on " WTiy I am Glad I am an American” Certificates of merit in rhis same contest were won by: Charlotte Gerow Gloria Grenfell Stearns Meredith Patricia Bendshadler Patricia Pearson Jean McDonald For loyal support and cooperation in upholding the ideals of the school, the school picture was awarded to Mary Sumner. For efficient management of the Delphic, the school picture was given to Betty Bevil. The American Legion gives a certificate of merit to a student in the eighth grade who is outstanding in honor, courage, scholarship, leadership, and service. In this school the certificate went to Jean McDonald. For outstanding work in Thespians during the year, a book on acting was awarded to Agnes Johnson. For loyal support and outstanding work in art, a book was awarded to Jenelyn Gaston. For the fourth successive year, the Columbia Scholastic Press Association selected the St. Helen’s Hall Delphic in a nation-wide contest of school annuals, to receive a medal for excel­ lence. This meant that the 1940 Delphtc placed in second class among all the annuals published in this country by girls’ schools of this size. The Bishop’s prize for the highest average in Sacred Studies during the year went to Charmian Kolar, whose name was also engraved on the Holford Cup. Honorable mention was given to Nancy Meyer. In the "Noted Picture” contest, the prize this year went to Mary Belle Reed. The annual gift given by Mrs. John S. Parke to the girl in the boarding department who on all occasions is the most courteous and helpful went to Lillian Robertson, and honorable mention to Eleanor Coles. Honors are awarded to those students who place academically in the highest ten of the upper school. First on the list stood two students who maintained consistently a very high average in all subjects throughout the year. These awards were books. These first honors went to Nancy Meyer and Sally Jeffcott. Honors were also awarded to eight other students for excellent work in all departments. These honors in order of achievement went to: Geraldine Stout Dorothea Harris Charmian Kolar Jenelyn Gaston Nada Skidmore Gloria Grenfell Lillian Johnson Connie Maguire P P P P P ■ �24 ig ~> ^he CDelpkic ^"2 First Prize, Delphic Contest COURTSHIP OF THE FLOWERS The winding of the wailing elfin horn Scarce broke the twilight stillness. How forlorn The garden lay, shade-haunted, with a mist Of numbness drifting o’er the unseen tryst The evening zephyr kept with lovelorn flowers. The wistful roses sighed, "With us abide.” For his caresses every blossom vied; In serpentine embrace the passion vine Hoped yet the elusive gypsy to entwine. The blue moon, watching, saw him slowly pass Across the dipping billows of the grass, And, hovering, leave the fainting willow weeping Sad tears into the stream as downward creeping Past thyme, past perfumed daphne, primrose, tulips, The drowsy night-wind kissed with languid lips The wild windflower; upon her fluttering breast He nestled, murmuring, and sank to rest. —NANCY MEYER, VI. S £ E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E e Delphic Contest, Honorable Mention SMELLS What would you do without your nose? Are you conscious of its real value? Certainly the world would be much less interesting if we were deprived of our sense of smell! In our gardens we would miss the fragrance of violets and primroses; a field of clover drenched in early morning dew; the heavy scent of roses and honeysuckle borne on a light breeze at the end of a long, hot, summer day; the pleasant grassy smell after the lawn has been mowed; and fruit lying under bare trees and slowly rotting in the mellow autumn sunshine. No longer would we know the sticky, suffocating air that precedes a thunderstorm, or, in contrast, the cool freshness of rain falling on a dusty road. Without the sharp tang of salt air, the seashore would lose that invigorating quality which gives us such appetites. How we would miss the fragrance of deep woods, where moss and ferns and other kinds of vegetation flourish in the rich, damp soil; sweet hay piled high in a dusty barn; and smoke of burning autumn leaves! Shoe polish and camphor balls, musty clothes and books, new magazines and newspapers, hospitals and gasoline stations, tobacco and whiskey, freshly painted houses and newly cut lumber are all things that would lose much of their meaning if we could not recognize them by their respective smells. And as for food, who would care to part with the appetizing fragrance of a warm loaf of bread, fresh from the oven; a thick juicy steak, sputtering and browning in the hot grease of a frying pan; wild strawberries, growing sweet and warm and juicy in the sunshine; and better than them all, to me, the rank odor of moldy, aged cheese! Surely none of the odd shapes, colors, and sizes of noses can outweigh their merits. —BETSY PARKER, IV. e E E C E E 5 e e E e 5 I 6 £ & £S £ $ �pi ?l =1 3 ;9 ^CLhe CDelpluc 4s 25 DELPHIC CONTEST, HONORABLE MENTION 3 =* 3 P 3 3 3 P P P P * £ 3J = tr * * 2 5?

SIMPLE OBSERVATIONS With my mind a complete blank as to drama, melodrama, pathos, or comedy in my life, 1 think I shall attempt a few observations on human nature which have come to my mind lately. Though I certainly can’t approach our friends, Charles Lamb or William Thackeray, 1 can note in my own simple way a few of the peculiarities toward which the human mind is inclined to run, if my mind can be counted as any sort of a normal example. Betty Exx, whom we shall use experimentally, is a friend of mine I don’t know her par­ ticularly well but, outside of a few annoying features, I like her. But suppose we put Betty Exx on the basketball team, pitted against sworn enemies. Let me see her valiantly fighting to maintain the honor of the school, and oh, how near and dear she becomes to me; her faults arc all forgotten; a feeling of love and tenderness surges over me for my Betty. Here, again, we have Betty, the particular friend of a friend of mine. The last mentioned friend and I are having a tug of war over a certain boy. The situation is delicate, and I am struggling hard to maintain a level-headed attitude about the whole thing. My feeling toward Betty under such circumstances is far from friendly All her faults are many times enlarged and I detect a sneer in her every gesture. Betty and I run against each other in an election. She is immediately a stranger to me, and a polite sort of enemy. I must be careful and match strategy to strategy. Betty and I are given an assignment to do together, and right away we are inseparable chums. I’m not blinded to her faults, but she’s a swell kid and we have a lot in common. So it goes, one feeling replacing another, not because of anything Betty has done, but only because of the immediate circumstances surrounding her. Naturally, 1 do not announce these feelings toward Betty to the world at large. They come and go in my mind, as in the minds of other people. I try to combat them with fairness and common sense. —HARRIET FRENCH.

It seems strange, when you are fighting on the battlefields of the world, to realize that there is still a great continent of people who can’t realize, except through appalling visions of horror, what war is Yet when I stop to think about it, I realize there are many such as you. E At home, you see a side of war that is made up of little things, things that people are gradually learning to do automatically, that they won’t talk about much after they have gotten used to them. It was that sudden feeling of terror that seized you on a certain calm Sunday morning, a feeling soon replaced by one of calm, dogged determination It is an even greater sense of pride when you sec the flag, the determination to learn the words to the "Star Spangled Banner,” and the extra effort to reach those high notes. You buy defense stamps now instead of another coke, and you are surprised when you don’t miss it at all. E I think that, to most of you at home, war is stopping to think. No longer do you dash to the car for every trip downtown, and you think twice before you put that second spoonful of sugar into your coffee. You do your rather insignificant jobs better now, making sure that no one has to take important time to help you, and you envy the soldiers and sailors and pilots, saying that you wish you could do something really to help, too. You don’t realize that every time you do one of your little jobs well, you make it easier for the defense workers and the fighting men who are doing the big things to help you. You see, you are in the war just as much as we are, even if it doesn’t seem that way to you. Something Benjamin Franklin said during the Revolutionary days illustrates it perfectly. He said, "We must all hang together, or we will all hang separately.” His words are just as good today, and they tell the secret of winning this war better than I could ever do. War for you is being prepared. You know that if the United States is bombed, organiza­ tions will noiselessly and efficiently spring into action to protect you You think that they will never have to operate, and you are secure in the knowledge that they are ready. I hope that this knowledge and the simple duties you are now performing will be all that you ever see of it. For us who are fighting, war is something quite different. It is knowing that the whole outcome may depend on us, knowing that we are the tools with which a nation must make its stand for freedom. It is sleeping in readiness to rush into battle at any time, fighting for hours on end not knowing we arc tired, only to fall exhausted into rest when the fight is through. It’s hell on earth, killing and being killed, knowing that we may not live, knowing that the war will go on and on until it is won, no matter how many give their lives. For the United States as a nation, this war is a job that must be done. Dictatorship is an insidious disease that has seized the world, a plague that we must destroy forever. We are in the right, and we will win. 5 I i 1 . The time for words is past, and the hour of fighting is here, but time will come again when words will accomplish much. In the years to come, we must lead the people of the world into the ways of democracy. While you must loathe all that the dictatorships stand for, son, you must not hate their people In the future, we will guide the rest of the world to democracy only if we do not hate, for those who hate destroy themselves. Your loving father. UNITED STATES WAR DEPARTMENT WASHINGTON. D C. OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE Killed in action on the Bataan Peninsula March 3, 1942 Lieutenant Robert Johnson. —jane mcmullen, v.

The grass is worn bare where many feet have scuffed it clean. The bright, green, steel bars have rusted where the summer rains have hit. The springs sag toward the ground where a group of six persons have climbed on. The pretty, striped material has faded from the hot sun, and as it lazily swings in the breeze the whole body squeaks. The old swing could tell many tales of romance that bloomed upon its faded seat, out under the starry night; of the many out-door meals eaten beneath the shade of the battered awning; how rhe baby is placed there to rock in the warm, summer evenings; and how, when a gang of husky boys pile in, it takes a deep breath and sinks lower, getting weaker and squeakier. Now that the month of June has rolled around again, the old swing has been moved to new ground, where the grass has grown thick. It has been re-covered; the steel bars have been painted deep green; and the saggy springs have been uplifted. The shiny swing is ready to begin, all over, another six years of wear and tear under the strain of weather and people. —JOYCE WOLLUM, VI. =■ 3 A BOY AND A DOG =* 9 3 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 * The depot was unusually crowded Sunday afternoon. Swarms of people came from aLl directions. It was interesting to watch the different expressions on the faces of those gathered in the waiting room some were excited and confused, bustling around with baggage, not knowing quite what they were doing; others were mixed with sadness and anxiety; some were even blank, showing no emotions. A voice through the microphone called out, "All selectees please collect in the roped section at the south end of the depot." After the men had gathered there and the roll was called, I noticed a little boy sitting on a bench near the door leading to the tracks. He must have had a big brother or father who was going into the army; for there he sat, his little chin quivering, his small fists clinched with all his miniature strength. The tears crept timorously over his eyelashes and rolled haltingly down his cheek bones. A stray dog who had been run­ ning about the depot searching for his master, jumped up and placed his shaggy paws on the boy’s lap and began to lick his face. The child instinctively threw his arms around the dog's neck, and before long the lad had gained courage and self-assurance through his new friend. —BETTY BUSSEY, VI. �m 2S '9 CDelpkic -fs ADVENTURE IN COMPASSION I long for the loneliness of the night, for its feeling of unshared privileges. Mountains arc the softly velvet fur of a kitten’s paw. Distant fields of grain are haunted silver rippling in the wind as the bold moon sends out its living light. Street lights wink at me like the flirting of naughty elves And the air is as immovable as a vacuum’s dead breath. Comes the dawn, bringing with it the emptiness of life, Houses are drab and morbid, unchanging day after day, The homely scarred face of the hunchback mountains reminds me of the monotonous stare of the sun £ And people stir as if to torment my soul and mock me in my agony Are there others who live by night to die in the day? —PATTY WATERS, V. THE TEST OP OUR SOLDIER BOYS The test of our boys in the fight they make Is the grit that they daily show; The way they stand on their feet and take Fate’s every' hardship and blow. A coward can smile when there’s naught to fear, When nothing his progress bars, But it takes our boys to stand up and cheer While others follow the stars. It will be the victory after all From the fight that our boys make, Our boys, who when driven against the wall, Will stand erect and take The hardships of fate, with their heads held high, Weary, bruised, and pale, It will be these boys who will win bye and bye For they aren’t afraid they’ll fail. It’s the bumps they get and the jolts they get And the awful shocks their courage stands. The tiring hours of sorrow and vain regret, The prize that often escapes their hands, That tests their mettle and proves their worth. It isn’t the blows they deal, But the blows they take on our good old earth. That shows that their stuff is real. —MELBA HEYSER, III y] �;9 ^ Q)eLpliLc 42 VICTORY GARDEN Why don’t we start a victory garden? Why don’t we do it today? Come along, bring a hoe, a spade There’s no time to delay. We may not like the feel of the earth, Nor the scorching sun above But it’s better to handle the sod Than to lose the freedom we love. —SALLY LOU INGHAM, Seventh Grade. SPRING The The The The violets in the woods, so still— cherry trees budding out anew, jonquils blooming on the hill, hyacinths glistening with dew. Gay tulips nodding in the breeze, Merry crocuses in brilliant yellow, Brightly green against the tree: All under the sunlight mellow. —ELIZABETH STRUBLE, Eighth Grade LEAVES The leaves are falling fast and thick Like snow upon the ground; To gather on the thick clad street; Only to be caught again By the merry gust of wind; To dance in the tree tops And do merry flip flops And then to be caught in the wind. The tree is now bare With no leaves in her hair Oh, but come and be merry No longer be dreary And dance with the leaves in the wind. Oh, envy the leaves in the wind. —QUINLAND DANIELS, Fourth Grade. 29 �m m K= w d IQ i a m i m 3 ^jy^tpl'lLC ^ ^2 30 d MAY One day I went out to play; It was a very bright day in May.

Charmian Kolar was elected president, and under her leadership a successful term was completed. Other officers for the fall term were Gretchen Nicolai, vicepresident; Theodora Nicolai, treasurer; Susan Alton, secretary; Harriet French and Nadine Honevman, proctors In February Lillian Johnson capably succeeded Charmian as president, and her officers were Beatrice King, vice-president; Betty Peetz, treasurer; Jane Norwood, secretary; Betty Bussey and Jane Bycrly, proctors. Student government is an outstanding feature at the Hall. The cabinet is a representative group of students who meet to discuss any problems which concern the government. It is also the cabinet’s privilege to nominate girls for student body offices at the start of each semester. This group is comprised of a representative from each class, the vice-presidents of the junior and senior classes, student body officers, and the editor of the Halltonian. For the fall term the cabinet members were Lillian Johnson, Alta June Myles, Gloria Grenfell, Melba Heyser, Patricia Waters, Betty Peetz, Geraldine Stout (Editor of the Halltoman), and the student body officers. In the spring the cabinet consisted of Natalie Holman, Sylvia Thomas, Betsy Parker, Yolanda Schultz, Nada Skidmore (Editor of the Halltonian), and the officers. The court, which is a disciplinary body, was comprised each term of the junior and senior members of the cabinet. This year the student body members were all united in their desire to spend as much time and effort as possible on charity work. An extensive and enthusiastic Community Chest drive was held in the fall; both Red Cross drives received support from every student and the yearly projects to give to the needy at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Lent were carried through by many generous donations. A driving school under the direction of the Department of State was organized in the spring. Fifteen girls received instruction in this course. School spirit always finds an outlet in sports. The student body chose Jean and Joan Irwin to be the Hall’s cheer leaders for the basketball games. Regular business meetings were held often, and at several assemblies students were privi­ leged to have guest speakers. Among them were Mrs. Lamar Tooze on the Community Chest drive, a representative from Mills College who presented motion pictures of the school, Miss Ann Reed Burns on Mexico, and the director of the Portland Art Museum Motion pictures were shown at different assemblies of the lumber industry, Portland’s city government, the control of incendiary bombs, and emergency first aid. As the school year draws to a close, the Hall students can review each of their many activities, and know that they have accomplished much and continued the progress made in each succeeding year since the Associated Student Body was organized. �I ■M- & ' ■ • E? >;! u il , - r fc. i §- H, • 1 S,S! I m i { r ' i- il&Ss THE BOARDING DEPARTMENT Outnumbered as they are by the worthy day dodgers, the boarding department constitutes a vital part of St. Helen's Hall This year has proved to be a particularly successful one in girls—their friendliness and their attitude. The number of high school boarders varied at different times during the year but averaged about twenty-two girls About the first step the boarders took was to elect their officers. With President Harriet French, Vice-President Patty Waters and Secretary Sylvia Thomas, the boarders had an organi­ zation and proceeded to make use of it. October 31, 1941—Hallowe’en was the date of the annual Hill dance to which all were invited and at which all had a grand time. November 10, 1941—The boarders gave a successful dance of their own, with a patriotic Armistice Day theme. November 29, 1941—The birthday of Jane McMullen, member from Alaska, was cele­ brated by a big cake, given her by the boarders to show her that birthdays at school can be just as good as they are at home. Jn that same month, they took on themselves the project of making and filling two sea­ man’s bags for the Seamen’s Institute. December 6, 1941—The boarders gave gardenia corsages to two of their members who had roles in the Senior Class Play. December 17, 1941—The annual Christmas Mystery play was presented with a "guest supper” beforehand. January 30, 1942—The boarders entertained with another dance "Knit for the Red Cross” was the theme in the boarding department, as elsewhere In fact, Sister’s weekly singing classes were temporarily turned over to knitting. Jn the second week of May, the boarders held their final and most important dance, the boarders’ big informal. Throughout the school year, various groups of the girls attended concerts, plays and lectures. These activities were entered into whole-heartedly by the girls, who, by their willingness to help and to be friends, made the 1941-42 group an A-l boarding department »= R R R 5= R R e R R *1 * * * c * -- ; : * * �mi p p p> t* I * ? a * F*a 1.

P m *= A good school paper is a mirror of student activities, and that is the goal which the Halltonian, bi-weekly publication of the Hall, has endeavored to reach this year. The Halltoniati’s earnest and hard-working staff is composed of members of the Journalism Club, who are advised by Mrs. Swanson. A senior is editor of the paper during the fall term, and she is succeeded in the spring by a junior. Geraldine Stout was the capable editor for the 1941 fall term, and Nada Skidmore took over the editorial duties during the second semester. In the publishing of the paper there is room for a great variety of talents. Students who are interested in developing journalistic style gain practical experience, and typists, mimeo­ graph operators, and artists learn to work together to publish an accurate and attractive edition ever)' two weeks. In the fall Barbara Benson and Theodora Nicolai carried out the duties of Business Manager and Art Editor, respectively, and in the spring Jane Norwood was the Assistant Editor; Jerrilee Lovejoy, Art Editor; and Gloria Jokstad, Business Manager. On the theory that "names make news” the paper has specialized in printing as many newsworthy articles as possible concerning the students. This has helped to make the Hall­ tonian an anticipated feature. "Is the Halltonian out today?” is a familiar byword in the halls each Friday afternoon. RED CROSS . r • * ig ~ ^lie 0)etpliic This year the Red Cross in the school has been unusually active, under the leadership of the four Red Cross Council members and the six class representatives. The council members from the Hall, Jane Norwood, Beatrice King, Arlene Van Duyn, and Jane McMullen, are present at one meeting a month of the Portland Junior Red Cross Council, made up of four representatives from each school. The work of the Red Cross in the school is probably familiar to all the students, since everyone is taking part One club period a week is devoted to Red Cross work in which afghan squares, bootees and caps, sweaters, helmets, and art notebooks are being made The ensemble and the Tunesters spend this period in practice, and are ready to help entertain the patients in the hospitals. This year two programs were presented at the Tuberculosis Hospital by these groups. Recognizing the greater need of active Red Cross work, the council in the school is con­ tinually looking for more possible programs, and plans for a greater program next year are already going forward. q Ec§ �I I I « l I I 1 8 « « I I i 6 i S ig c- s 1 When the year is well started, the annual party to initiate the new girls occurs, amusing for spectators but painful for the initiates. * 35 It is Prizes are given for the most original and clever costumes, which are homemade. After the initiation procedures are ended, Sister Superior serves refreshments which are a fitting climax to a memorable event. FACULTY RECEPTION This social event is for the purpose of bringing the parents and friends of the Hall closer to the faculty. The Juniors and Seniors in lovely formats act as hostesses in the school auditorium JUNIOR CARNIVAL Spring always brings the "Junior Carnival”. On April 25, the Junior Class waved its magic wand, and the Hall auditorium willingly obliged by changing into the scene of a South American Fiesta. Dancing, booths, refreshments, and a mystic fortune-teller added to the bewitchment The Juniors insisted that it was all done by magic, but the evidences of hard work and careful planning were found everywhere throughout the evening. a a J J j 4^ OLD-GIRL NEW-GIRL PARTY I i I CDeLpkic JUNIOR PROM "Lovely forms are swaying . . .

Because the Hall girls realize how necessary it is to buy defense stamps, each girl has voluntarily pledged to give a certain percentage of her spending money toward this cause. Collecting defense stamps is almost a hobby with them, and while it is fun to see how fast your booklet can grow, it also gives the girls responsibility and the satisfaction of knowing that * they are doing their part. * :* r * j 1 * �g Sf /9 36 LTg CDelphic ™ 4s es e g g g g g g g g ; - m. 6 es H #15 •m j gw v •; 3 M II 3 . •: LITTLE WOMEN :\-i Directed by Homme Neil Jackson. ■ m m (Yr. ■ .

MAY FETE The traditional May Fete climaxes the school year The annual affair is ruled over by a queen and her royal court, elected from the Senior Class by the student body. The ruler of festivities this year was lovely Theodora Nicolai. Her court consisted of six pretty princesses; Barbara Benson, Betty Bussey, Betty Peetz, Charmian Kolar, Marilynn Adair, and Harriet Knapp. Assisting Queen Theodora as Mistress of Ceremonies was Sylvia Thomas from the Junior Class. The Queen presided over her royal court, and after ceremonies were completed, the new girls entertained the old girls with supper and amusement. Queen "Teddy” then abdicated her throne and reluctantly the court dispersed. �38 ig ~* <^he CDeLpkic G e G G CLUBS Because the Hall girls like to express their talents in different ways, elective clubs have been formed. These clubs give each student the opportunity to learn and practice the subject in which she is interested. The various clubs are as follows: DRAMA CLUB—In this club the girls are taught the fundamentals of acting and speech work, and apply this knowledge in school programs for the Student Body and also for patients at the Tuberculosis Hospital. The school has been granted a chapter of Thespians, national honorary drama society, and girls who are qualified are invited to join Miss Tomme Nell Jackson advises this club. MODELING CLUB—Under the direction of Miss Veatch this club attracts many students who are interested in creative work. They are expertly taught the correct way to use clay, and they show their own ability and initiative in designing. After an object is finished, it goes to the kiln to be professionally baked and glazed. SEWING CLUB—This club is advised by Mrs. Goff and is very popular with both amateur and experienced seamstresses. Besides making useful garments and toys, the girls enjoy sewing for the Red Cross. G G G El es G ES ta m ■a JOURNALISM CLUB—This club is directed by Mrs. Swanson and gives the students a chance to do creative writing. The girls in this club also publish the school paper. The Halltovian. Each member has a different department on which to report, and in this way she gains valuable experience and responsibility that will help her in later life. *5 5 TUNESTERS—Tunesters, under the direction of Mrs. Topping, consists of the juniors and seniors who are interested in choral singing.

A membership of approximately twenty girls was included in the club. This group numbered seniors, juniors, sopho­ mores and freshmen. Under the leadership of Betty Bussey the group chartered a bus every two weeks, and a two-hour lesson was given at Timberline by Mr. Martin Fopp, of the Timberline Ski School. Many remarkable tans were acquired by the end of the season. Two chaperones accompany the group on their trip and at the end of an exciting, strenuous day a dinner is given at some member’s home. �. d e q c E e $: •: - d d pi q q j ( q ; E d IS fe . e c a ; B E2 B B C E E -•i E E '--I rin ■■H v ■•; vM ■y.: m " l B m ■'V V 8t E 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. 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.

It is uncertain and bewildering because world progress continues at such a rapid pace that it is difficult to prepare ourselves to keep abreast of the times. Being graduates of the Hall, we have found our years here of the utmost value to us, for our school progresses year by year, adopting the highest standards of the educational world. Aware of this, our class steps into the future without fear, for we know the Sisters of St. John Baptist have given us a firm foundation upon which to stand. We have learned to cooperate through school activities, to share our material as well as our spiritual wealth with those less fortunate, and lastly to appreciate and to take advantage of all opportunities given us for broadening our outlook and scope of knowledge. These past years in the Hall which we leave behind have been happy, profitable ones on which we can turn our thoughts in the future to brighten our separate ways. Though we may be far apart let our hearts ever stand as one in loyalty to our St. Helen’s Hall. THE EDITOR. EDITORIAL Progress is the theme of our school and the theme of the world. In Europe it is progress in devices of destruction; they build up only to tear down. In our school it is progress in edu­ cation, and in our nation it is progress in science, new inventions, better government, labor, and machines. St. Helen’s Hall has equipped us to judge carefully a new movement before accept­ ing it and to give it a fair trial before discarding it. And so it has prepared us to go out and face this rush of sweeping progress of a peaceful country alive here in our nation so that after the war we will not be left trodden and helpless in the midst of chaos, easily led by bold leaders of an unrighteous cause. Those of us who have been graduated from St. Helen’s Hall will find it easier to uphold our age-old progress because we have something firm to stand on—our years of well-rounded progressive high school education. Always our school will be behind us, a school whose roots are deep, a school which will stand firm and solid forever in the noble place it has made for itself. As we step into our own places as leaders of tomorrow, we will help to keep the flashing beacon of our nation shining so that its penetrating rays may reach across the ocean to the lands of destruction and bring hope and guidance for peace, unity and progress.

For many years the Sister Superior had even started a fund toward it This hope was fulfilled when Mrs. Walter B. Beebe gave a beautiful pipe organ to the school in memory of her husband. The fund which had been started was used to purchase a console and records. This will stand as an everlasting memory of Sister Katherine Angela who taught the ■ girls at the Hall to love and appreciate music. Sister Superior has given several lovely concerts ,v on the console for the student body. A Chapel Guild was started this year by the Senior Sacred Study Class of Church Girls. They have assumed certain responsibilities for the Chapel services, and prepared a notebook about the Chapel, its history, symbolism and services, which they read and explained to the various Sacred Studies classes. i 5 I ��' . . ■ ;-4- - ■ V. ; . ■ : i ■ ■ . !; -- • srsss: Ip If it - i . ” -- - ; 1 -v._: . ........ •.................................................... .

For the third successive year, the Columbia Scholastic Press Association selected St. Helen’s Hall Delphic in a nation-wide contest of school annuals, to receive a medal for excellence. This meant that our 1939 Delphic placed in the second class among all the annuals published in the country by girls’ schools of our size. The medal for the best essay on a patriotic subject awarded by the National Society of Colonial Daughters was won this year by Nada Skidmore of the Freshman Class for her essay on the Red Cross. Certificates of Merit in this same contest were won by: Nancy Ann Hcnton, freshman Annabelle Dodson, eighth grade. Marian Pierce, eighth grade. Beatrice King, freshman. Emily Joynt, eighth grade. Patricia Waters, freshman. For loyal support and cooperation in upholding the ideals of the school, the school picture was awarded to Peggy Magill. The Bishop’s prize for the highest average in Sacred Studies during the year went to Patricia Waters, whose name was also to be engraved on the Holford Cup. The American Legion gave a certificate of merit to a student in the eighth grade who was outstanding in honor, courage, scholarship, leadership, and service. In our school this certifi­ cate went to Virginia Lee Fenton. For outstanding work in Thespians this year, a book on Acting was awarded to Georgialee Housman. In an essay contest conducted by the Ladies’ Auxiliary of Veterans of Foreign Wars, on the subject of "The Benefits of Democracy,” second place in the state was won by Dorothea Harris of the Junior Class.

The yellow elephant in a musty old toy shop on one of London’s forgotten streets was musing to himself. For years he had lived on that dust covered shelf, far in the corner, where no one had even bothered to notice him. After the first year of waiting he had made up his mind to love his owner, but his emotion changed slightly after the fifth year. He really would make his purchaser unhappy for even thinking of buying him. While he was mourning over his misfortune he noticed a freckled snub nose pressed against the dusty window pane. Warm, sunshiny, yellow hair topped the head of a small urchin. The yellow elephant mistrusted anyone who came near the shop, for somehow no one ever quite noticed him and that hurt his pride terribly. Thinking this was just another wishful beggar, the elephant paid no attention to the nose and hair until the sun caught and held the bluest eyes he had ever seen The yellow elephant felt that, if he had ever wanted to see and not hear truth, he had only to look into this child’s eyes. The elephant watched those eyes as they searched the dark room and stopped on him. A gleam of happiness came into them that held all the longing of love. A man in a blue uniform hurried by and the nose and eyes disappeared. The yellow elephant felt a new interest in life since he had seen those eyes. Day by day he found himself watching for them and each day he was rewarded, for at exactly the same time the nose and eyes would appear, unknowingly bringing the only sunshine into the barren shop. For many days this went on until the eyes and the elephant carried on a silent conversa­ tion. Then one day the hand that belonged to the eyes held up a penny. The elephant had a feeling that he would be leaving the shop for good very soon. The same day that he had this feeling he heard talk of war planes that would come and destroy everything, perhaps this shop. This terrified the elephant, for if that happened where would the eyes go to find him? Hoping and praying that the eyes would come soon, the elephant’s heart jumped as the rusty shop bell rang, and in walked the happiest and most excited little boy the elephant had ever seen. The boy pointed to the elephant and laid down his money. The elephant nearly fell off the shelf until cold sticky hands grasped his trunk and lifted him off it. The boy hurried out of the shop and down the street, stopping only to gaze at something huge and birdlike in the distant sky. Comfortably smothered in the boy’s arms the elephant was numb with emotion. He waited for the boy to speak. ,TAt last you’re truly mine. The first thing I’ve ever wanted and worked for. You shall always stay with me wherever I go. Because I’ve loved you for a long time and because now you’re mine I’m going to call you Love.” The elephant felt a surge of happiness as he once again looked into the eyes. In his heart he made a pact never to be separated from them. The boy looked at the sky now for the huge birds were the dreaded planes the elephant had heard about. The boy stood on the curb watching them; now they were overhead. A black object whirled dizzily toward earth. The boy watched as it came closer and closer. He dared not move. Suddenly the boy screamed. The street was torn. The blast was over. Silence! Love was held fast by a reddening hand. He could see that the blue of truth was gone forever. With tears in his eyes he looked at the sky so dark with evil and remembered his heartfelt pact. Would he painfully exist longer? An answer came in the next black object. The street was deserted except for the pitiful figure of a nobody’s boy clutching frag­ ments of a yellow elephant. —PATRICIA WATF.RS. �24 19 <T'*0 CDetphic ~ 41 DELPHIC CONTEST, HONORABLE MENTION "When 1 Consider Thy Heavens . . ” —Psalm 8:3. Once in a far land I honors did glean— Laureate Poet was I to the Queen. I wrote with folly, of life with such glee; Youthfully, haughtily, naught did I see Of life at its best. Thus seemed it to me A frolicsome youth was the one thing to be. The Queen was so shallow she cared for my verse— I lived for a time with a full laden purse. Yet one night I paused at my window and gazed; The moon turned so white that my senses were dazed. Arrows of moonlight were piercing my heart— Stronger than others there struck one bright dart. I sheltered my eyes from its straight gleaming lightA voice called to me in my ebony night! O, Eyes, did you seek to bewilder me then? The beauty 1 saw there was far from my ken— The slender cool form and the changing pale hair. I christened her "Moonlight”, the one who stood there. She spoke, and I thought that her words seemed to be The whisper of winds all-asweep through a tree. "O. Poet, do tell me why write you your rhymes? They please just the Queen, and her whims of the times. O, do you not know that true poems are found In sight of the heavens, in touch of the ground, In height of a mountain, in flame of a fire. In song of a bird as it rises still higher?” How blinding the glory that shone in her face! So shuddering, fearing, I drew back a pace Her words like a prayer had reached to my mind; I heard where from thenceforth my verse 1 would find Startled. I closed then my eyes as before— Lo! She was gone when they opened once more Now dead is that soul who in past years was I; The title of Laureate with him did die. Yet in his place has grown a man Who writes of Nature all he can. Who writes of sky, and sea, and sod— The Poet Laureate of God —NADA SKIDMORE, IV. �*9 CDelphic ™ 41 0*0 ARC 25 LIGHT The atmosphere seems damp and misty. The brilliant radiation from the arc light on top of the hill acts as the only life. Rain beats on the roof above. Peace and warmth are accented by the warm fire inside, while outside the wind makes its mournful wail. The arc light sways. All is hushed for a second; then suddenly a large gust of wind increases the tumult of the stormy night. A majestic telephone pole stands erect as a silhouetted crucifix against the small glare of the light. Gradually the fog becomes more dense, covering all that was in view. The small fir bough sways in beating rhythm with the arc light and the wind. As the bough sways. faint sparkles from the wet street show a distinct contrast to the bleak effect. Now the vision is out of sight and only the thoughts of peace are present. Blackouts are apparent only in the distance. —MARY ELIZABETH ALDRICH, VI. SOURCE From mystic skies a starlet fell Into the ethereal depths of night And out of golden fragments formed Our dreams in heavenly flight. —PATRICIA MANN, IV. AFTERNOON Always the sun was out when the turtles were out. The day was clear and bright The pond was like a pane of glass. Not a ripple broke the stillness of its surface, for the wind had duties elsewhere. The rays of sunshine penetrated deeply. A warm silence enveloped the pond and only a periodic drip from the oar established a sense of reality in us. Each drop drew a circle on the water that widened slowly and floated off behind the boat Actually it was not the circles that moved, but the boat drifting quietly forward. The movement of the circles and the enlargement of the approaching log brought us nearer our destination. We had a definite business. Downtown turtles sold for a quarter apiece. If we caught two a day we would soon have enough money. The boat glided forward from the momentum of David’s occasional, effortless strokes. We scarcely spoke a word. The nods of my head indicated to him the direction to be taken A pair of sapphire-blue dragon-flies jerked zigzaggedly through the air. They lit on an oar, resting their long, slender bodies. Their gauzy, outspread wings fluttered occasionally. 1 studied them carefully, wondering how they maintained their balance. As we approached the log a brown bump took the shape of a turtle. He was basking drowsily in the sunshine. We maneuvered silently to the rear of him. David stretched out his hand, but the turtle slid with a little splash into the water. It really made no difference. There were other logs and other turtles. It was the enchantment of this pastime that we enjoyed. —CONNIE MAGUIRE, VI. �P ;J :v hi 26 ig ^Jze CDelpkic SEA AND 41 SAND Golden child, playing by the shore, Electric sunlight washing all the world. Your tiny hands are busy Building castles in the sands, The brittle sands, The faded sands. A hopeful laughter dances in your eyes, The fresh and tingling winds are soothing to your cheek; They lift your curls in gentle fingers, And press them close Around your bobbing head. The shining palace stands complete. And all your youthful reveries are caught Within its walls, Its flimsy walls, While you softly sigh and dare not speak. But coaxing sea calls fill your ears. And gaily, to its feathery hem You rush in joyful rapture, stumbling now In careless freedom; The jealous, harrassed sea Pounds its shore gates, Covets your liberty. i The tiring god of day takes all too soon his leave, And tosses his crimson cloak Upon the sands, And slips into the cool waters Of the night. The vengeful ocean’s lashing fury beats Upon the bleeding shore, And one dark wave your helpless castle rocks— It falls, and all your dreams are carried swift away Upon the heaving breast Of the sea— The timeless sea. ! ! I —MARY PATRICK SULLIVAN, VI. �IL ;9 "* A CDelpkilc COUNTRY 41 ROAD A country road. Winding its weary way across the valley, Narrow and crooked, Like a writhing serpent. A dusty road, But its dust lies undisturbed Save by the wheels Of a passing cart, And the shuffling shoes of children Homeward bound from school. Cool, green meadows Stretch away on either side To the dim blue hills. Cows grazing in a sea of buttercups Beneath an azure dome of sky. An apple tree, Bending with its weight Of flowery snow, over a tumbledown fence; Its branches arch the road, And petals fall and cover the still dust With a perfumed garment pure and fair. A steel gray sky, Hard and forbidding, an unyielding barrier Forever separating Earth from Heaven. The lane’s still dust has turned to muddy slush, Tranquil no more, but torn By moving wheels and marching feet. The buttercups Have long vanished, and the fields Lie deep in snow, its virginity Spoiled only by the tracks Of wolves and coyotes, prowling Where once had been farms And civilization. All that is gone. The dreadful were-wolf of War Stole down from the hills in the night, Leaving nothing but desolation And carrion for the jackals, Where once had been peace and happiness and liberty. —NANCY MEYER, V. 27 �!i i' i< i \ 2S CDelpkic ;9 C^-3 41 WHAT HAVE I TO REMEMBER OF 1940? Nations crumble, and all around there is death. Many philosophic sayings are written concerning this monstrous religion, war, which demands mass human sacrifice to its brutal diety. New nations are moulded out of the crushed humanity of the old order. New rulers are hailed or cursed. New songs are sung, and people smile, amid terror and destruction. The world still fights with wavering hope that peace will come—soon. Now we have entered upon a new year. Through fear, and blood, and desolation, few will remember the crimson of a gum tree against October blue, the sound of laughing water racing over a mountain meadow, the mighty song of the ocean as it caresses the smooth beach, the smell of the salt spray, and the gull’s piercing cry. These are things I shall remember of 1940. If only the world could remember these, could it remember war? —DOROTHEA HARRIS, VI. CONTRADICTION I I LITTLE Here we are in class rooms, yearning To be out, away from this. To be free from halls of learning Ah, it would be more than bliss. Little birdies sing to me. Sing about the flower and tree; Sing about the sky so blue. Looking down on me and you. What we want is relaxation; Yet, when you ask us to confess, Do we want an education? You’ll find we almost all say, "Yes”. And way up in the sky so high I see the clouds go gliding by. I wonder if I ever can Go clear up there in sandman land. —SALLY COLWELL, Sixth Grade. —ELEANOR F. COLES, 111 * BIRDIES LOVELY EARTH I love to see the leaves That fall from lovely trees; The brooks that ripple Through the hills To fall into the seas; And little lambs That play among the hills Till mothers say, "It’s time To say, 'To bed, to bed’ My tired little ones.” Then all around The darkness falls, And stars come out to play. Then fairies dance their lovely dance. And I must run away. —QUINLAND DANIELS, Third Grade. ���i 1 ■ CDetpkic •+* 41 29 I cO^N/£ ,eaNne STUDENT Maguire BODY As we look back on this year we find it has been a very active and successful one. With our new method of government adopted last year we have forged ahead with great cooperation on the part of the student body. The officers for the first term were: Jeanne Morrison, presi­ dent; Patsy Klahre, vice-president; Nada Skidmore, secretary; Connie Maguire, treasurer; Pat Waters and Harriet Conley, sergeants-at-arms; Charmian Kolar, assistant editor of the Hall­ tonian. For the second term they were: Connie Maguire, president; Betty Peetz, vice-president; Betty Bussey, secretary; June Fowler, treasurer; Gretchen Nicolai and Nancy Smalley, sergeantsat-arms; Geraldine Stout, assistant editor of the Halitout an. The cabinet consisted for the year of the student body officers and during the first term, Jenelyn Gaston, editor of the Halltonian, Mary Sumner, Margaret Saari, Gretchen Nicolai, Marybell Reed, and Phyllis Stewart. For the second term they were Charmian Kolar, editor of the Halltonian, Lillian Johnson, Lillian Robertson, Jean Maris, Marybelle Reed, and Phyllis Stewart. Among our many activities, some in a serious and others in a lighter vein, we have had a talk by Mrs. Ivison Macadam on ''England Today”; also a talk was given for the purpose of Chinese relief by Mr. Paul Mauritz. Several educational films have been shown stressing driving safety and the knowledge of money. Representatives from Scripps and Mills have offered information to the upperclassmen. One of the most enjoyable assemblies was spent listening to the Reverend Edward H. (Bonny) Bonsall speak on modern day problems con­ fronting young people Alice Duer Miller’s "White Cliffs” was excellently read by Mrs. Linthicum. Dances and a student body picnic have been among the social activities. The Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter seasons were taken care of generously by the girls for the benefit of the less fortunate. This has been a happy year for everyone because of careful guidance and excellent leader­ ship on the part of the student body officers. We can leave for the summer with the feeling that a great deal of good has been accomplished, and with the hope that next year will be just as happy and successful as this one has been. \ �30 *9 CCLhe CDetphlc ™ 41 HALLTONIAN The school’s bi-weekly paper means much to the girls. In this mimeographed news sheet, which is put out entirely by the girls themselves, appears a resume of the week’s activities, and an outline of the future program. All members of the staff are members of the Journalism Club under the supervision of Mrs. Swanson. The Editor for the fall term was Jenelyn Gaston, a senior. She was followed in the spring by Charmian Kolar, a junior. Under these two girls the staff has worked hard with splendid results. Even though die most of the work falls upon the shoulders of the editor, the staff has always been generous in giving their time to working outside of school on the edition. The art work which means much to the paper is handled by the art editor who mimeoscopes her pictures on the stencils. This is a tricky job, but different effects can be produced by a skillful hand. Each year the Halltonian makes progress. We have left the essay type one-column master­ pieces far behind in favor of broken columns of newsy articles with catchy headlines. Pictures now adorn the front page, and interesting features fill the inside sections. Our new policy is to shy from gossip, and in its place to use original feature articles, some running in serial form or in sequences. Constant improvement and change of style has made the Halltonian a necessary part of our school life. OLD-GIRL NEW-GIRL PARTY Everyone enjoys the annual party given for the new girls. Of course the new girls have to endure an initiation which is a source of amusement to all who look on. Everyone attends the party in original costumes, and prizes are given for the best efforts. Betty Bevil and Arline Wollin tied for first prize. Afterwards welcome refreshments are served by Sister Superior in the truest Hall manner. THE RED CROSS The Red Cross has been active this year in planning projects for the less fortunate. There are four main groups which work on knitting, sewing and toys, projects for the blind, and attractive scrap books. Also a group of girls have gone to the Tuberculosis Hospital to roll bandages. Two programs have been presented for the T. B. patients by the Tunesters, Drama Club, and the Ensemble which have been a source of enjoyment to the shut-ins. �- ig <~> ^ke Q)elph.Lc 41 31 ! SCHOOL DANCE School dances are always eagerly awaited and well attended by the Hall students. The fall informal was held November 29- The main theme depicted autumn with decorations of leaves through the room, and a jolly squirrel sat in the center of the floor. All the girls agreed that dances are a "must” in the school calendar. JUNIOR PROM Pastel colored formals contrasting with dark suits—soft lights and Wes Lang’s wonderful orchestra. Hopeful wishes were made for the future around the Wishing Well. The Seniors’ last dance at the Hall—the Junior and Senior Prom. l ■; JUNIOR CARNIVAL Crowds gathered before Ye Old Curio Shops which lined the street. Vendors wove in and out selling their wares. The town people gathered in the square where the men swung their partners, first to the right and then to the left. It was the night of the Junior Carnival. The gay Old English Village was in reality the school auditorium. RECEPTION In the evening of October 23, the annual faculty reception was held in the school audi­ torium. The Seniors in pastel formals met the guests and introduced them to the faculty. This annual affair was planned in order that the parents and friends of the school might become better acquainted with the faculty. �EVERGLADES Everglades at Lake Oswego is one of the Hall’s most important features. It provides a great many pleasant activities and outings for the girls. Among these are week-ends for the boarders, class parties, student body picnics, and ceremonies. The house stands facing the lake surrounded by level green lawns and cool shade trees. It is also equipped with diving facilities, tennis courts, and a lawn swing for leisure hours. Inside there is a small chapel which is used on Sundays for simple services. There is a spacious dormitory which is often used by boarders on week-end outings. The dining room and kitchen are very popular with a ravenous brood, and the hospitable living room and game room with the comfort of a fireplace provide many an afternoon or evening of pleasure. Everglades is truly an enjoyable spot, and it is no wonder that it is loved by the girls. �I ! ^■he CDelphic 33 t i ■ i ; 1 ; ■. : ’ ; i 1 JEANNE D’ARC Directed by Mary Hobson Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French THE CAST Jeanne D’Arc Louis le Conte...........................

The fete is a tradition at the Hall and is ruled over by the May Queen nnd her royal court, which is selected from the members of senior class by the Associated Student Body. The queen who ruled over the festivities for this year and who bestowed awards was June Fowler. The court was completed by the princesses, Connie Maguire, Lillian Robertson, Audra Blanken­ ship, Mary Sumner, Katherine Jane Robinson, and Jenelyn Gaston. The Junior Class chose Charmian Kolar to assist Queen June as Mistress of Ceremonies. After the bestowing of awards the day came to a close with the new girls entertaining the old girls with a supper and various skits. The Queen abdicated and the court dispersed at the end of the festivities. Thus another event was brought to a close. ��'i [v-‘ 0^5 (Delphic 0*^9 ■ .5 ! r l I ’ CLUB PRESIDENTS FIRST ROW—Jane Klahre, Lillian Robertson, Shirley Gray, Phylhs Stewart, Geneva Summerset.

This year under the leadership of Connie Maguire the club has made much progress. The club’s financial problem was partially solved by a set monthly membership fee. The club went up to Timberline regularly every other week-end all season. The big ]■ ■ yellow bus which was chartered was large enough for all the members to go every trip. We left from school about eight o’clock each Saturday morning with fifteen or more excited girls, and returned that night around seven with them equally tired. is . Mrs. Swanson, Mrs. Stevens, and Miss Hobson took turns going up with them and the lessons this year were under the direction of Bob Donaldson.

Although the season proved unsuccessful, the girls played hard fast ball, and lost their games by small margins. No outside games were played in volley ball this year because of a late start, although an intramural tournament was held. With spring comes baseball. The girls play on the grass diamond in the center of the campus. The annual tennis tournament was held in early April. Jeanne Morrison captured the singles crown, and Connie Maguire and Jeanne Morrison shared honors for the doubles crown. Archery and fencing classes are held after school for those interested in these sports.

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.

Upon entering St. Helen’s Hall we were greatly impressed by the many traditions which have made this a school of firm purpose and high ideals. We arc privileged to be under the personal supervision of the Sisters and faculty, learning from their store of knowledge. We are fortunate to be a part of a school where the spiritual and academic course of study is well balanced. The task of educating students is not easily fulfilled during these trying times of turmoil and disaster in the foreign countries, since it is difficult to keep the relations in the school and home free from dissension. The scope of education at St. Helen’s Hall is wide, enabling each girl to find the field in which she is the most interested. The curriculum consists not only of the more formal sub­ jeers which a short time ago were thought to be all important, but also includes more flexible forms of education. Girls of St. Helen’s Hall are gu.dcd and encouraged, and their personalities are developed. We will always be grateful to the Sisters of Saint John Baptist, who have given us an educational foundation upon which to build, and we leave St. Helen’s Hall with its motto in our hearts, hoping that we may be "as the polished corners of the temple.” —EDITOR. EDITORIAL We, the graduating class of 1940, find ourselves setting out to shake hands with the world in the midst of a war year. For many months our lives have been interwoven with stories of bombs over Europe and unbelievable privations which all involved nations have under­ gone. We have read and seen newsreels of black outs, air raids, devastation of property, and complete demolition of democratic ideals. When we see how education in war areas has been blotted out, the gift of knowledge which we Seniors are carrying away from St. Helen’s Hall this June seems all the more precious. It doesn’t seem so important that we have itemized facts concerning Alexander the Great or Boyle’s chemical law stored away in our brains, but that we have gained an appreciation of this great fertile land which we as the coming generation will govern. In our experience at the Hall we have learned to think for ourselves, to keep our minds alert, to discriminate between mere propaganda and the real facts. We can discuss any subject with a cool head and a respect for the opinions of others. Most of all, we are aware of the serious responsibility to be placed upon us as future citizens and the safe-guarders of peace and democracy. With these qualifications we throw back our shoulders, lift our heads high, and step for­ ward. —LITERARY EDITOR. �FRONT ROW (Seated)—Mrs. Pearce, Miss F.

Mills College �'Nineteen Hundred THE Forty LT? CDelphic CHAPEL Our Chapel with all of its spiritual significance and simple beauty has grown with the tradition and beauty of the Hall. The Chapel could never have been what it is, however, if it were not for the gracious gifts of loyal friends and students. The altar and pulpit were presented in memory of a girl who passed away suddenly. The lamps, hung before the sanctuary which represent the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Ghost, and the exquisite mother of pearl and silver cross, arc also memorial gifts. Several of the brass vases on the altar were presented in memory of Sister Katherine Angela. One of the most beautiful and important of all these gifts is the majestic organ, just newly installed, which has been presented by Mrs. Beebe in memory of her husband. The fund which had been partly raised for an organ will be used to purchase a console with outstanding records of sym­ phonies, oratorios, and operas. It will stand as an undying tribute to Sister Katherine Angela, who inspired music and its true appreciation in the girls at the Hall. The next dream is to have a beautiful rose window above the altar, which will reflect the light of God upon those who have worked so diligently to glorify this, our Chapel, His holy place of prayer. �SENIORS I ��^he CDeloki 9 �I 10 . ; Nineteen Hundred Forty ^kke CDetpkic - -~v- ' t u.I i A. m EUNICE ALTER SON m M^°S I mk?'. : ■: I . ■ 1 IS i J j i / ft t* '"Uj KiU) : “KOUc C;\^V‘ N\'x v.

HOOD DELPHIC CONTEST, HONORABLE MENTION Alone, hushed, and waiting, she watches our folly and wisdom, alike. Knowing, yet silent, she grieves at our dark clouds and hides in the mist, or rejoices in sunshine and comes forth to add to the glorious world. Alone, yes, for what could accompany the regal supremacy or lofty splendor? Alone, no, but vibrating with people, in joy and laughter, noisy with cries of the novice, resolved with intent of the climbers, thrilled with the awe of the crowd. Alone, and still, waiting for night, when vacationists tell of ghost stories or dance in exciting clear cold to the tunes of some famous-name band, when caretakers and yearlong residents bring up new problems that come, or thinkers inspired by awe, perhaps, delve into why it is so, for then is when stars on their eastern journey dip down for a while, or night in its own brilliant darkness discusses new issues of time. Interested, listening, and hearing the pulse of a people at play, she watches the cities and farms with their serious business of life. Yet she has had memories cut of the past, which in moments of calmness she ponders. She remembers her own great creation when she rose above other land, when trees started growing around her base, and were replaced by some more of their kind until huge tracts of greenery glistened, as a pedestal showing her off. With water and rich soil she fed them ’til fire raged over one part and acres of Oregon timber were destroyed by a man who forgot. She has noticed the growth of a nation that spread from the cast to the west, and these pioneers founding an empire that rivals the one of the cast. Still, silent, and splendid, she watches . . . DELPI-IINE PARR, VI. �24 \ I. N inet cc n II u n d r c d For/ y Q* CDetpkic : I HAVE A CLUTTERED MIND I I have a cluttered mind. The following alibis will help to explain the gradual deterioration of what was once a fairly receptive and sane state, or in other words, how I got that way. I do not presume to compare myself to Eleanor Roosevelt, but "My Day” is very nearly as hectic as hers. Perhaps the only difference is that I don’t travel. No, indeed. I remain in the same spot, a mass of accumulated facts and figures without any seeming relation to each other. i j It is my misfortune that there arc so few remaining months to know my geometry theorems, English Puritans, Sacraments in Sacred Studies, lines for the Senior play, sketches for the Delphic, and how to drive a car. I Unfortunately such worthwhile information seems to be mixed up with movies, war news, spring clothes, costumes, diets, and what not. This all leaves me in such a state that when I am pounced on by my locker partner frantically demanding the combination I am just as apt to offer a complicated square root or the number of calories allowed me in my daily diet. Another good example of my frenzied state is when my father asks the time and station of Information Please or Major Bowes Amateur Hour. I don’t know whether he thinks I am a walking radio schedule or just naturally bright. & Did 1 say my mind was cluttered? It’s a complete black out! —GEORG I ALEE HOUSMAN, VI. I A DESCRIPTION i I; {• Up the pathway, winding timidly through thickets which clutched at its ever narrowing sides—on up the frivolous stream, tumbling over the banks which tried in vain to stay its swelling tide—over then the last tiny hillock, around the last bend in the creek and it was there. That rare beauty of a God-created masterpiece in its natural entirety. No worldly scar was traced upon its face. No human hand had left its imprint there. Time alone had mellowed it, and softened its rugged features into a wave of perfect harmony. The tiny rivcrlet, now a marsh, stretched lazily, and seemed to try to encompass the two horizons in its grasp. On cither side, slopes of glistening green rose suddenly to press it back, while ahead, a towering peak poured its snowy covering into the turquoise bowl nestled peacefully at its feet. There was beauty in the sound of the wind whispering through the trees, in the sound of the honking mud hen who appeared among the rushes to defy approach, as her chicks hopped off to safety, in the sound of an occasional splash, as a shimmering trout leapt from the water. But most beautiful of all was the sound of peaceful silence which descended from the celestial ceiling,— from God. —MARGARET RENTON, V. } ( �CDelpldc N i 11 e t c c n H und r e d For/ y 25 THE WATER TRAIL High up among the lofty mountains, a crystal spring bubbles out among the boulders, and courses downward, leaping over the pebbles, swirling about the larger rocks, ever onward, gathering volume, as it goes until it meets the first straggling trees—the hardy ash, the stunted pine and firs, mere dwarfs of the towering lowland giants, clinging branch and root to the bare face of the cliff. Now grown to a brooklet, it tumbles down the steeps, churning into a misty froth which leaps up to wet the ferns, bending to see their agitated reflections in the dancing water. At the foot of the cliff it seems to pause for a brief moment in a swirling pool, then hurries along into the dim twilight of the dense woods, where the great, gnarled trees, aged and learned, stretch out their roots to let the water play about them, and the rich green carpets of moss lie heavily upon the stones along its brink. Here the trout, like silver streaks, haunt its crystalline depths, and the minnows and crawfish take each pebble for a home or hiding place. Here the birds bathe unafraid in its shallows, and the dainty violets, white, gold, and purple, bloom in prolusion by its banks and mirror themselves in the quiet pools. Here God seems very near. But even while surrounded by such idyllic beauty, it needs must hurry ever onward to its unknown destiny. Leaving the gloomy forests, it leaps into the brilliant sunshine of the meadows. The sheep gra/.e about the verdant fields, and the weird notes of the shepherd’s pipe—one could think ’twas Pan’s—sound faintly upon the air. The gaily colored daisies and poppies which border the brock dance and curtsey in the balmy zephyrs. But onward it goes, not hurrying now, as it seems loathe to leave the green pastures, until it enters the little village nestling in the heart of the valley. Her it is subdued—nay not subdued, but rather captured and made to turn the water wheels, causing the mills to grind. At last, tumbling over itself in its urge to gain free­ dom, away from the dingy streets and buildings, it passes beneath a wooden bridge, the last of many, and finally gains the meadow once more. The same gay meadow, the same brook— yet not the same, for now it flows sluggishly and wearily no longer crystalline, but now brown and polluted by man. Lined on either side by drab banks, it proceeds drearily. Here and there willow trees bend over it tearfully as if in mourning for the lost purity and sylvan beauty of the stream. At last the great river looms ahead, and like a weary traveler, choked with silt, branches afloat, here a box, a can, a board, the stream creeps on toward the eddying current to meet and mingle with the mighty waters—to meet, to mingle, and be lost forever. —NANCY MEYER, IV. �26 H it n d r c tl Fort y CDelphic SCHOOLROOM STATUE OF A GRECIAN GODDESS I i Ninctccn She poses, Carved of pallid stone And with sightless sockets Where eyes should be Cynically stares at the classroom. !

A cat, silky-soft and sleepy was dozing in the blessed warmth and softly purring to himself. His silvery fur was tinted with gold in the light and as he some­ times moved his feathery tail, glints of brilliance were caught in it. He rolled over onto his back, stretching his paws into the sun, squinting his eyes in the light, and purring loudly in his languid satisfaction. Peace. The calming presence of a cat, the soothing of my raucous voice when he purrs for me and the sudden slowing down of hurried feet when he softly pads beside me, makes me wish 1 were a cat and could live his life of toiless care in place of mine. —LAUREL KARG, VI.

Thc officers for the terms were Anne Alton. president; Jean Morrison, vice-president; Dclphinc Parr, treasurer; Beatrice Nash, secretary; Marilyn Adair and Beverly Shaw, sergeants-at-arms; Betty Bevil, Assistant Editor of the Halltonian. Fer the second term they were Anne Altcn, president; Beatrice Nash, vice-president; Beverly Shaw, treasurer; Jean Morrison, sec­ retary; Marjorie Besson and Margaret Sarri, sergeants-at-arms; Jenclyn Gaston, Assistant Editor of the Halltonian. Perhaps the most important phase of the student body is its student government. Working on the foundation which the cabinet \ N \ i ALTON of the preceding year had laid, the newly organized cabinet of last September submitted several changes in the Constitution to the student body for ratification, and they were found acceptable. Later an experiment with a more complete democracy in student government proved too great a responsibility and a more strict system of penalties was enforced. Discussions were held by the cabinet on criticisms and suggestions submitted by the student body concerning the government. The cabinet consisted the first term of student body officers; Peggy Mag.'ll, Editor of the Halltonian; Marjorie Englehart, Mary Sumner, Mary Aldrich, Nada Skidmore, and Virginia Lee Fenton. The second term they were Betty Bevil, Editor of the Halltonian; Marjorie Englehart, Margaret Renton, Jane Klahrc, Sly via Thomas, Marvbellc Reed, and Emclia Mctrovelli. Though opinions at times during the year greatly differed, every student learned much concerning democracy and the personal responsibility it entails. As its usual custom the student body supplied Thanksgiving dinners for poor families, helped the Boys’ and Girls’ Aid Society in their work at Christmas, and distributed Lenten clothes to less fortunate children at Easter. Natural dancing made its debut at the Hall this year and a group of girls represented the student body at a dance festival sponsored by the State Federation of Music Clubs. In coopera­ tion with the chorus a number of talented students sang with the Portland Philharmonic Orchestra in March. The driving school was again a feature of great interest under the direction of the Department of State and Secretary Snell. The successful roller skating parties sponsored by the student body were highlights of the year. Unforgettable also were the student body dances. An autumn informal was held which was no less exciting and colorful than the April informal welcoming spring. Mention should be made of the energetic yell leaders, Marjorie Erwin and Betty Hopper, whose vim and vigor made our games with the Catlin’s School and the St. Helen’s Hall Junior College outstanding. This year will be remembered for Mrs. Walter Beebe’s gift to our Chapel of the large pipe organ urgently needed and greatly appreciated. This student body’s annual gift to Sister Superior was used to buy a console for the organ and dedicated to the memory of Sister Katherine Angela. In addition to the regular business meetings and student assemblies, the student body was privileged to hear such speakers as Dr. T. Z. Koo on conditions in China; Mrs. Burke, a missionary from Alaska; Miss Breuncr on the "Romance of Silver”; Amos Berg, the eminent ex­ plorer; and Miss Basset on Negro folk lore. Dr. Emil Enna entertained with a piano concert and Leslie Hodge, conductor of the Portland Philharmonic Orchestra, gave short sketches on the piano of different symphonic arrangements. All in all one can look back upon the year’s events with enthusiasm and pride, remember­ ing many wonderful days of hard work and comradeship. �30 Nineteen Hnndeed Forty (^he ^Delphic I THE H ALLTON IAN I I i * 1 £ To a newcomer at the Hall, the numerous activities impress themselves deeply upon her mind and one of the most outstanding of these is the students’ bi-weekly paper, The HalltonianIt is a mimeographed publication and is put out entirely by the girls themselves. The journalism club was organized especially for the staff and under the supervision of their adviser, Miss Waffle, and the Sisters, their work is accomplished in true journalistic style. Again this semester we have had an editor from the senior class in the fall, and one from the junior class in the spring. Our senior editor this time was Peggy Magdl, and her junior successor, Betty Bevil. Under their organization the staff has worked its hardest, hunting down good news items, typing out the stencils and helping with the actual mimeographing, the main part of which usually falls to the editor herself, however. The art work is handled by an art editor who learns how to adapt her drawings to and put them on the stencils with the mimcoscope. Occasionally colored issues are put out, which tend to break the drab monotony of the regular black and white, and also have tremendous appeal for their feminine readers. This year The Flallfonian has been trying to avoid as much as possible the use of "school gossip” to create reading interest. Instead, students’ opinions on world affairs are expressed in various articles which are of interest to many. Also, better books and movies are reviewed for the purpose of stimulating the girls’ taste. The activities of different outstanding national figures are summarized as occasional features, all of which, together with the regular school news, makes The Halltonian an exemplary publication. Whole-hearted support and cooperation among the staff, and the interest and helpful criticism of the rest of the students, however, are the factors which make our paper what it is. We are deeply thankful for these and are immensely proud of our Halltonian. JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM Dim lights, new spring formats and dancing couples blended with the decorations which transformed the auditorium into a beautiful ballroom—the whole making a perfect picture. The juniors paid tribute to the seniors by giving this dance—expressing their sorrow at seeing the seniors leave and their wishes for success to them in the coming years. Slowly the lights faded, the couples drifted out and the dance was ended, but the memory of this prom mingled with the other happy memories of high school days. JUNIOR CARNIVAL Bright colored crepe paper booths gayly mingling with cries of joyous laughter spells a carnival, and so it spelled the Junior Carnival. A miniature night club was the main feature with all the colored lights and whirling couples of a gay rendezvous. The seniors looked at the tired happy juniors and remembered their carnival with all its hard work, fun, and real education and at the same time looked forward to the future carnivals—each benefiting from the last, making use of its good points and avoiding its mistakes. �CDetpkic Nineteen H u n d red fort y 31 THE DRAMATIC ART CLASS The Dramatic Art Class should take a bow. Its many inspirational plays were warmly applauded by the girls; and why? Because of Miss Carolyn Bowers’ and Miss Mary Hobson’s untiring and careful work with the class. The outstanding play was given during the week of Lincoln’s Birthday and was named "Solemn Pride”. It touched the heart of many a Hall girl. OLD GIRL NEW GIRL PARTY The annual and eventful party for the new girls at the Hall is one really enjoyed by all, even though an initiation takes place. Everyone is in costumes. After the initiation, Sister Superior serves the guests with refreshments, a deed which by now is indeed a Hall tradition. PHILHARMONIC A great opportunity enjoyed by the Hall this year was the accomplished task of singing with the Portland Philharmonic Orchestra, under the very capable direction of Mr. Leslie Hodge. The chorus consisted of fifty girls from the high school and junior college departments, who were featured second on the symphonic program. The choral part sung by the Hall girls was from Debussey’s "The Blessed Damozel”, and was richly applauded. MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT DANCES School dances arc events always eagerly looked forward to weeks in advance, by all students. Committees plan carefully for orchestra, decorations, refreshments, and other important features packing fun and excitement into every minute. This year the student body sponsored two informal frolics, the first being held in the fall on November 10, with Bette Chessman and her escort walking away with honors in the prize dance. The spring dance cn April 20 took on a Hawaiian note with palm trees, flowers, and girls with brightly colored leiis. All students agree that these dances add just the right touch of gaiety to the year’s calendar. �4 '£ . ! i ■ EVERGLADES Among the extra-curricular activities of the Hall, a number of the most important take place at our lake house on Oswego Lake. The house itself, situated on a point jutting out into the lake, provides not only a game room, living room and kitchen, but a dormitory housing the girls. A small chapel is one of its less rustic features and enables Sunday services to be held. Two large indoor fireplaces lend a friendly atmosphere and furnish an opportunity for story telling and marshmallow feasts. The house, surrou nded by cool lawns and shady trees, is directly on the lake. Canoes and rowboats, swimming and diving facilities, a tennis court, and a swing are at the disposal of the girls. Sister Superior often takes a party out in the motor boat, and the afternoon hours are spent exploring the lake. Everglade is used not only for class parties, picnics, and outdoor ceremonies, but by the boarders for informal week ends. It is no wonder that Everglades with its numI ' and activities, is one of the Hill’s • , 8 numerous pleasures tne nail s most important features. �<&he.

Given on the evening before school is dismissed for the holidays, the per­ formance is preceded by a gay buffet supper for the participants and their day-scholar guests. The play, in four acts, tells the age-old tender story of the Annunciation by the Angel Gabriel, the announcement to the awe-stricken shepherds, the cunning of King Herod, and finally the birth of the Blessed Savior in a lowly manger. Under the direction of the older girls, the production is ably supervised by Sister Agatha Louise and much of the credit for its success should be attributed to her excellent guidance. Besides the thrill of production and learning Christmas hymns, the mystery play affords the spiritual touch without which no Christmas is complete. �CDetpkic Nineteen Hundred Forty 35 MAY FETE May 21 marked the climax of the spring term at St. Helen’s Hall with the annual May Fete. The fete is one of the Hall’s traditions and is presided over by the May Queen and her court, which is selected from the senior class by the Associated Student Body. The Queen presiding over this year’s festivities and bestowing awards was Anne Alton. Assisting Anne as Mistress of Ceremonies was Beatrice Nash, who was chosen to represent the junior class at this festival. The court was composed of Princesses Laurel Karg, Joanne Marble, Emma Jane Pearson, Bette Chessman, Marjorie Besson, Marjorie Englchart. Following the bestowing of awards the day was brought to a close with the new girls entertaining the old girls with a dinner and various skits. At the end of these the Queen abdicated and the court dispersed. Thus another event of the year was brought to a close. �1 1 * i • I !

Leaning on the Old To �\ 7 V* SKI CLUB The Ski Club is a new and entirely different organization which has flourished successfully this year. Its purpose is to furnish the members with an opportunity to visit and ski at Mt. Hood, several times. Under the able leadership of Marjorie Englehart, such visits have occurred about every other week. The average ski trip starts about 8:00 o’clock Saturday morning with the appearance of around twenty sleepy but eager girls. The Hall procession consisting of the bus piled high with skiis and packed with girls, followed by Sister Superior’s car and perhaps one other, winds its way up tc Timberline, Government Camp or maybe the comfortable cabin so kindly lent to the girls by Mrs. Decs. At the mountains, arrangements have been made to meet Horace Mcchlcm, Jr., a teacher in the Journal ski-school and an expert skiicr, who generously has de­ voted much of his time to helping the girls. The Ski Club is one of the best ways cf making the girls appreciate the Hall. There is a chance to see some of the teachers in their lighter moods and realize what a fine faculty this school has; it lets them know better Sister Superior, who readily' admits that the club is one of her pet hobbies; and it brings the girls together in a spirit of comradeship. �y-f r-i# e | -^. ?i . �(~(l'he CDetpkic Ninc/ccn 77 ii n (l r e il For/ y 41 athletics On Friday, April 5, the Hall basketball team, the "Spinsters”, invaded the Catlin School gymnasium and one of the most exciting games in the history of the Hall then ensued. The "Spinsters” under the capable leadership of Captain Jean Morrison covered themselves with glory even though they did finish with the low end of a 20-18 score. Basketball, a game of skill and speed, is one of the favorites in the field of sports which the Hall offers its girls. This game gives the girls a chance to improve themselves in group cooperation. Dating from the earliest days of St. Helen's Hall it has been its policy to combine athletics with the scholastic curriculum of the school. Through these outside recreations the girls have an opportunity to become acquainted with one another and to further their own achievement in different fields. In order to promote the many possible activities a Sports Club was formed. At the close of the year this club presents the outstanding girls in the various fields with honors and awards. The Sports Club is also instrumental in promoting intra-mural games, tournaments, and inter­ scholastic meets. Volleyball is one of the most popular games among the girls. A school volleyball team was formed and exchanged some friendly banter with the Junior College team, which was disastrous to the college. A visiting team from the Catlin School forced the Hall team reluc­ tantly to give in after a fast and furious battle. In the spring the Hall girl’s fancy lightly turns to baseball and the campus rings with the shouts of the girls as an exceptionally high fly sails over the fence proclaiming a "homer” for the lucky wiclder of the bat. With baseballs winging through space it is a marvel to everyone that the surroundings are still intact at the end of the season. For those who don’t trust themselves with the mighty bat the feathered shuttle-cock offers a great relief. The badminton enthusiasts find this sport much faster than they had previously imagined and to their amazement they find aching muscles easily produced. A badminton tournament consisting of singles and doubles competition takes place in the spring. Although golf is one of the newer forms of recreation at the Flail it is fast becoming one of the most popular forms of out-door amusements. The accuracy and precision necessary to perfect this sport presents a definite challenge to all youths who like the out-of-doors. No sport, it seems, will ever replace the game of tennis. The Hall has two large courts and future Wimbledon stars may be seen at all hours of the day fully enjoying this sport which requires every extra ounce of one’s skill and energy. The girls arc constantly practicing for the singles and doubles tournaments which take place toward the end of the year. i ! 1 . ■ I Turning back to medieval recreations the girls obtain much enjoyment out of fencing. This sport often used as a method of offence and defence is now converted into an art in­ volving the skill of parrying, lunging, and feinting. Under the direction of Mrs. Irvine, who has held many titles in this field, the girls gain much knowledge of the age-old art. For all girls who are interested in swimming, the Flail provides Everglade at Lake Oswego for their entertainment. Everglade, cradled among the trees, is situated on the very edge of the lake and not only offers swimming and diving but also canoeing, motor-boating, and rowing. This variety makes it one of the girls’ favorite sports. �I i 42 i N i nc t c cn Hundrcd Forty J)elpliLc ‘ '• The girls find it very easy to choose from this wide variation of sports one in which they are interested. The proper technique connected with the different sports is taught in the gyn1 classes and in this way the girls learn to participate in a number of sports moderately well. ■ i .

The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. 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.

Editorial As Commencement approaches we look forward to the new life that awaits us, realizing more than ever that, although we may enter other institutions and belong to many organiza­ tions, we shall never really become as much a part of them as we arc of St. Helen’s Hall. We have lived the old traditions set for us by classes since 1869, attended the morning chapel services, rung the old bell, and participated in Baccalaureate and Commencement services until now we have reached the one particularly belonging to us. Our pictures, too, will adorn the walls of the Hall, and we will become a part of the history that greets each new girl. May we feel that besides endeavoring to maintain the standards set by those before us, we have been responsible in some small way for the progress of our school. We have participated in the en­ largement of the buildings and have helped in the inauguration of some new systems. |! t ! : ,1 ft j : ! In viewing the future and recalling the past we may feel small in comparison; still we may derive some satisfaction if we have truly lived our days at the Hall as those girls who have gone before us would have wi ed, and if we have set some new standards and helped to build a progressive school for the ,c who will follow us. May they look back on us as a worthy part of the background of St. Helen’s Hall, and as a reasonable justification for the life work so gen­ erously and graciously given to this great educational institution by the Sisters of Saint John Baptist. —EDITOR. Editorial We are now at the end of our high school life. As we look back over our years of attend­ ance here, we have a feeling of pride in ourselves and our school. We have been privileged to attend an institution whose instruction has been finely balanced, giving us mental, spiritual, and physical teaching. We have received a set of values which will guide us with honor. We go out from Saint Helen’s Hall bearing its honored and loved name. ■ ! ■I . It has been our privilege to sec a great growth in the school, especially in this last year with the erection of the new wing and gymnasium. Think what a difference in the Saint Helen’s Hall of today from that of Bishop Morris’! It is the fulfillment of his dream. It is to the guidance of the Sisters of Saint John Baptist that we owe the training that makes our school’s name and ours respected, and this same training will continue to do so. Our parting hope is that we may always be examples of our school’s motto: "That our daughters may be as the polished corners of the temple.” : i ': i■ •• —LITERARY EDITOR. :l It i ! if i i �NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE ^lie ^Delphic The New Wing and Gymnasium Residents and "old girls" of Saint Helen’s Hall were accustomed to see, facing Fourteenth Avenue, a brown building, scene of many spirited games of basketball and baseball, and the favorite rendezvous of Hall girls during rainy noon periods. But during the past summer, this building was sadly, but joyfully, torn down. Sadly because it marks the end of part of the dear Hall which we jealously want to guard and keep just as we have known it; and joyfully because on the site of the old gymnasium rose the new wing, latest achievement in the Hall’s progress. This new wing was really a necessity, but we often think of it, too, as being a luxury. It houses, on its two upper floors, practically the entire boarding department in comfortable rooms for two girls. These rooms are bright and airy and arc truly a pleasure for their occupants. In addition to the modern rooms, the boarders have been given a beautifully furnished lounge, where on Sunday afternoons a congenial group of girls may always be found around the fireplace writing letters, listening to the radio, or reading. Then again in the evening you may usually find a circle of pajammad, bath-robed, and slippered girls enjoying the compan­ ionship of a fire before bedtime. Across from the lounge is the Haskins’ Room, furnished in maple with double-deck bed, a writing-desk, and two dressers, donated by Dr. and Mrs. Haskins. __ f > YtfKJLlj k A ±41 jTT �:i ' , I i ] if . ■ l i i i ■ ': I The firsr floor of the new building houses three very welcome additions to the Hall, and these additions are important in the light of progress. There is a new, colorfully tiled shower and locker room for the Junior College girls, and also for the benefit of the college, a recreation room complete with ping-pong table, upholstered alcoves, and a piano. This room provides a place that the college girls may call theirs for fun and relaxation. The third room is an addi­ tional art room where aspirants to fame and dexterity with brush or crayon may spend hours under competent instruction. Aside from the joy and pleasure that it brings with its modernness and beauty, the new wing, because it provides space for the boarding department, frees for class use rooms in the main building on the second floor originally intended for scholastic purposes, but used as dormitories ' N until this year. 1 1 ! R With the realization that bod­ ies, as well as minds, need exercise, the Hall, in keeping with its slogan of progress, has erected a new gym­ nasium on the corner of Montgom­ ery and Fourteenth. This building is very modernistic in design, provides space for volleyball, bas­ ketball, baseball, and badminton courts, and includes a gallery for spectators. And so it is possible to realize that the new wing, almost a replica in architecture and material of the main building is a true addition worthy of being part of the progress of the Hall. . ;! ! ; nsnrairb :::::: Hit I ■■■-.l IT || Mm » I i Lv / .

I- ! :: !• . p !; ■ i i : �32 NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE CDeLpkic The Farm 9 Delphic Contest, First Prize Yes, I can see the whole farm as it lay in the narrow valley between the two great rolling hills. I can see each building exactly in its place, and 1 remember every detail of the furnishings of Grandpa Bert and Grandma Beth’s house as they were not very long ago. i 2 There are the hills which were delightfully green and flowered before the hot summer sun’s glow of light caused them to change the green covering to one of loathsome, yellow tickle-grass. I sec the orchard in the springtime with its various kinds of fruit trees blooming as if they really enjoyed displaying their colorful blossoms to their less attractive neighbors, the juniper and willow trees. There is the creek which separated the orchard from the barn. My brother and I passed many a freezing winter day walking on the ice in the creek for the sheer joy of breaking through and getting our feet wet. Now I see the battered, old pole gate leading into the barnyard. It brings to mind the amusing memory of the time when I thought­ lessly walked into the barnyard carrying a huge, black umbrella, and so frightened grandpa’s spirited black marc that she completely demolished the pole gate in her haste to escape. Now I come to the familiar road over which I have traveled many a time, and on the other side of which stands the antiquated white house surrounded by its unkempt yard. There in the yard the old locust tree leans wearily over the roof of the garage, and the poplars stand in a straight, proud row. My swing I can see hanging listlessly in its place between two of the tallest trees. Many a time have I sung about "touching my head up against the sky" as 1 sat there and swung. i When I am within the house my mind is a flood of the many memories about familiar objects I sec. There hanging over the couch is that huge painting of the Indian tepees. As a small child I was always afraid it sometime would fall upon grandpa as he took his afternoon nap below. Behind the stove is the dilapidated leather chair in which great-granny used to sit and shake a warning finger at my brother and me as she mended the family socks many years ago. In the dining room I see grandma’s display of cutglass dishes and the shelves which held her cherished collection of German steins which her sister had brought from Europe. Well do I remember the phonograph in the corner. On rainy afternoons grandma and 1 used to have a variety of musical entertainment at our command. We could hear a Beethoven sonata, be thrilled when Caruso sang "O Sole Mio”, or dance to the music of the "Blue Danube Waltz.” 1 ! : ' Is In the kitchen I see the green dish cupboard in which grandma’s precious Haviland was kept—now the Haviland is mine. There is that vital shelf over the sink which contains the newest patent medicine cure-alls for grandma’s bunions and grandpa’s ailing stomach. The sturdy Monarch range stands in its place, polished and ready for use. I 1 I Everywhere I turn I am greeted by the sight of familiar objects and I long to think of more and sec more. I remember that in going to my bedroom at night I climbed the grey stairs with a kerosene lamp in my hand; and at the top of the stairs I always admired the Indian collection of beads, moccasins, and gloves which grandpa received in exchange for the deer skin he traded to the Indians who camped at the forks of the road in the springtime. As I look back and think of how the bedroom looked I can sec those family portraits lined up in a most in­ artistic straight row on the dresser. There was never anything pleasant about sleeping in that ( ! . ! !i i �T/ze CDelpktc NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE 33 ■ i : room at night because the windows rattled when I walked, the window shade flew up without any warning, and between the walls the mice seemed to be hurrying to get their chores done before dawn. In that queer bedroom I was even afraid to say my prayers on my knees for fear a spirit would emerge from beneath the bed and grab me. In my thoughts I can wander about the farm for hours, and now that is the one comfort I have left. Grandpa and grandma do not live there any more. The beloved furnishings and familiar equipment were sold at a public auction not many months ago. Doubtless some other people live on the farm now, and they have made the changes they desired; but I shall never go back; I shall remember it as it was even though the thought of never returning breaks my heart. When I use the trite phrase "it breaks my heart"', I use it intentionally because I find that something sometime docs seem to break within you when you arc grieved, and no other phrase can express that feeling better. i i I: : i I i 1 j i I I Perhaps parting with the farm was the first of many things from which I shall have to part sometime; but 1 think that I shall cling to mortal life with far less desire than I have clung to the life on the farm. —BILLIE WADE, VI. i l I I I The Fireplace On a rainy evening, nothing suits me better than a fireplace. There is such a fascination in looking into the flame as it twists itself into figures both grotesque and beautiful, and leads one into a realm of make-believe. One can quite sympathize with poor Barnaby Rudge who saw so many fascinating and frightening illusions in the fireplace. There is a drowsy pleasure to be able to sit by a cozy fire, to feel its warmth sink into the soul, to allow the comfort of its presence supply the place of thought itself. It is wonderful to have a bright, crackling fire as a companion through the pages of an absorbing book; then the figures in the book transport themselves into fire images. —ALICE GREGORY, VI. ! i i \ !• .. •• ■ . �34 NINETEEN HUNDRED TI-IIRTY-NINE ^he CDetphic Just a Little Old Man i 3 The storm threatened ominously as I chanced upon the small cabin tucked in among the trees. Haunting strains of a harmonica issued from within. 1 heard the cluck of an unseen hen and toward the rear of the cabin saw a neat little shack, one side of which was filled with wood, the other equipped as a stable. A small pump stood near the door of the cabin, and at the side a neat garden pointed short, green fingers toward the sky. The clearing was neatly kept and was appealing in its ruggedness. Tall pines leaned protectingly over the little house as I led my horse to the door and knocked softly. As I rapped, the harmonica’s strains faded away and a shuffling noise could be heard as the occupant approached the door. I glanced apprehensively through one of the two windows through which the cabin gazed into the woods beyond the clearing. I could see a neat, rugged table upon which stood a kerosene lamp and a tobacco humidor. t ! 1 m The door swung open and a little man peered curiously at me. He was a short, wiry little fellow with lively blue eyes and pink cheeks, crowned with curly white hair. He wore a faded flannel shirt and heavy breeches tucked into thick leather boots. I stood gazing at this un­ believable, storybook character. R j B; ‘'Well?” he queried politely. His voice was high and melodious. I thought of a chime of bells. "I just wondered if I could stay in your cabin until the storm passes,” 1 said in my most honey-and-sugary voice. 'T’ve lost my way and my horse is tired.” A smile broke over his face, making him more enchanting than ever. "Of course, young lady,” he returned. “I would enjoy some company. Come into my humble home. I’ll stable your horse.” So saying, he turned and walked spryly away, leaving me standing at the door. H I felt a drop of rain wriggle down my neck and went into the cabin humming a little tune which I suddenly realized was “Won’t you walk into my parlor, said the spider to the fly?” I laughed aloud and looked about me. The room was meagerly furnished but neatly kept. An old rocking chair stood before the fireplace; a cot stretched in one corner; a tall cabinet stood in another; the third corner contained the table I had seen through the window; and the fourth boasted a gun rack with four guns on it. The little man evidently cooked over the open fire for an iron pot hung over it now, from which came a delicious, meaty smell. My observations were broken by the return of the old fellow, who entered the cabin and walked over to the fire, gleefully rubbing his palms together. p! “It’s going to be a good blow!” he chuckled merrily. I was tempted to ask if he were responsible for it, so proud he seemed, but merely asked if it would last long. "No more than an hour or so,” he stated, and sat down, or perhaps I should say sat up, on the edge of the table, for he had to pull himself up. I sat gingerly on the edge of the rocking chair, the back of which flew up and hit me in the neck, sprawling me on the floor. My host was at once anxious and solicitous for my well-being, but having found me intact, he soon joined in my laughter. His laugh was a lovely thing to hear and I felt that mine was a crude guffaw, compared to his tinkling merriment. . i ! i Thus the ice was broken and, with me settled safely in the chair, we started to converse. The old chap entertained me with fascinating talcs, and played old tunes on his harmonica. We �I j CAg CDelpkic I ' 35 NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE partook of some stew from the iron pot and drank goat’s milk, discussed poets and art. I found him highly educated and intelligent. The storm had been long past when I finally rose and bid a reluctant farewell to my friendly host, promising to return. The little fellow gave me instructions and stood waving until I lost sight of him, having turned a corner. j J finally reached my hotel, situated in the center of the small village, and asked the manager about my little friend. I told of his hospitality, describing his cabin and his own appearance. The clerk was apparently aghast. "You don’t mean that you stayed in his cabin for over an hour, all alone, Miss?” : "Why yes, and he was most friendly and entertaining,” I replied cooly. ; I I t "I don’t want to worry you, Miss,” he went on, "but that man is insane and capable of extreme violence.” He saw the astonishment and disbelief in my face, and hurried on. "His brother brings kerosene, tobacco, and other supplies to him just twice a year, and sees that he is all right. 1 le always brings two guards with him, though. None of the town people will go near his place, since he shot at the preacher one day last spring and beat up Big Joe in the summer. I just forgot to warn you about him and I’ve been worrying all day. It’s really a wonder you aren’t dead.” i I I later discreetly questioned a maid at the hotel and received the same story. I went up 'round there one day, myself,” she went on to say, "and I seen him running through the woods with his gun, an’ when he saw me his eyes just got all glarey and he started yellin’ and chasin’ after me. I came back mighty quick, I’ll tell you!” A few more casual questions, put to various people, confirmed the tale. My friendly, lively old man was absolutely insane!!! I went up to my room that night and cried bitterly into my pillow. I couldn’t have told why I cried; I just felt that everything was all wrong. Perhaps it was disillusionment, perhaps disappointment, or just nerves; I don’t know. I never saw the old fellow again, for I left town the next day. I often wonder if he expects me to return to see him, as I promised I would. I can still see those snapping blue eyes and hear that tinkling laugh. I don’t know if he still lives; that quick, intelligent, diseased mind may now be at rest.

At the mornent, the dainty willow trees seem to nod acquiescence, and the birds gaily trill their approval. 1, too, listen for a while, but the little rivulet’s tale I cannot fathom. Natures secrets are not for mortal ears. Only the willows, and the tiny johnny-jump-ups that line the waters edge, and grandfather bullfrog who sits on the slippery rock in the center of the swirling water can understand her language. A minute later I heard granddad croak disapprovingly of the little story-teller’s methods. Can it be he is rebuking him for the rambling way in which he imparts his story? Perhaps! Age is wise and cannot tolerate the frivolities of youth. After the stream has flowed into a larger river and become more mature, it will settle down to a quieter talc. ! ! But now, dance on, little brook! Many of nature’s kinfolk arc waiting to hear your merry myth. I can only guess at its meaning. Shadows dapple the water in places, but here and there the sunshine makes it sparkle, causing me to believe your story is one both of pathos and of gaiety. But exactly what the story is—who knows? 2 Vggi i —MARGARET BEATTIE, VI. Spring Fever There’s a smell in the air I That I can’t quite place.

Fog drifting stickily—no sound except that of the eternal "whoo” of the buoy, warning against the rocks—this was the appearance of the morning at four A. M. Odors of pitch, sea­ weed and fish clung to the mist like wet paper on glass. We stumbled aboard ship, the decks wet and slippery. Everything was dull and opaque; none of the usual "shipshapeness” was visible. The ropes were sodden leather in texture, and the sails seemed to be weighted with a cargo of tons of water. The comforting chug chug of an early morning fishing ketch could be heard, and although we could sec nothing it was good to listen and know that someone else was awake and putting to sea. Still smothering yawns, we weighed anchor and silently slipped through the harbor with only a few sails set, watching intently for any other craft. After per­ haps twenty minutes we saw the sails begin to fill; all thoughts of dozing gone, we hastily changed tack, and as we left the fog, we threw all despondence and care behind, facing the rising sun, the blue, blue sea and the new day with joyous hearts and the knowledge that the coming hours would bring happiness. —SUZANNE HOWDERSHELL, VI. I I * ! f* i i Peace Curled comfortably among soft pillows in a big overstuffed chair, I sat watching the flame rise and fall from the oak logs which burned slowly in the fireplace. The rain outside splashed softly against the window panes. Over the radio came a dreamy waltz, and everything was very peaceful. The fire burned lower; the cat’s purring became a soft refrain to the waltz. Life seemed to stop. There was no such thing as time—hours or days or years. The world was all peace, and I and the waltz and the flickering fire and the kitten purring softly were part of it. —MARY-ELLEN SMITH, VI. Awake Under the tall fir trees.

Her bed was high and from it she had a general view of the room, a small room where the huge ceiling lamp made the lighted part glaring, while in sharp contrast the shadows crouched in their corners as if afraid to move from their world of darkness. Everything was so quiet. The doctors on the other side of the room, garbed in the traditional white coats, were speaking in hushed monosyllables while nearby a woman was crying softly. A deathlike silence prevailed; everyone seemed to be waiting. Perhaps she should wait too. She let her eyelids droop and finally close. She was so tired that trying to understand everything around her at once was too hard. As she lay there in stillness, the scent of flowers came to her; at first faintly, but as she strained to catch a further breath of the odor, she recognized it as that of the pinks from her mother’s garden. i I I > I . She was there now, lying beneath the magnolia tree, watching the white butterflies dart back and forth and listening to the drone of bees and crickets. Her mother loved flowers, lots oi them. She saw her mother now, kneeling beside a flower bed, half hidden by her huge garden hat, digging with a trowel into the rich earth. Her mother was a pretty woman who, upon her approach, always reminded her of flowers and beautiful things in nature. She remem­ bered herself as trying to like planting, also, but she had always enjoyed the flowers more when she could look at them. It seemed she could see her mother in every flower; there was always somthing in the petals and sepals that showed her care and trouble. The vision was fading. The smiling face of her mother glimmered and disappeared. Everything was dark now and she was very tired. If only she could sleep, not just close her eyes and lose consciousness, but sleep for centuries in perfect peace and contentment. A shadow flitting before her eyes caused her to wonder. Reappearing, it seemed to take shape. It was beckoning for her to come, but how could she follow? It was farther away now, and perhaps it would leave her alone. But another spectre came, grey in color. She would try to go, but someone was calling her from far away. She opened her eyes once more. The doctors had turned from their circle and were looking at her. The light glared in her eyes, making them smart. A small hand, wet with tears, was tucked in hers. How unhappy this world was. Longing with aching heart for the peace of her mother’s garden she slipped once more into the quiet world beyond her sight. The grey, ghostly figure bent nearer, whisper­ ing. Its world looked so calm and bright and peaceful. Was this the world she wanted and had waited for? Would she find her mother here, in her floppy hat, trowel in hand? Was there peace here as there had been under the magnolia tree where the music of insects had lulled her to sleep? Sleep, blissful sleep. She saw the shadow gliding from her and she softly followed. i —LAUREL KARG, V. ■ . ? 1 �40 NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE Q)e[pltic ; |i i 9 An Old-Fashioned Parlor The moving van had come to move the valuable Old American furniture out of the house on Columba Street. The withered, old couple, who had held on so desperately to their posses­ sions, had passed away, leaving no heirs. The parlor would have been a delight to any antique dealer. Somehow, as you walked into it, it inspired an almost reverent quality. m, The spacious room was exceedingly dark, for the tall windows were nearly covered with dark lace curtains, which trailed on the floor. It was as if the windows were eyes, which had become drowsy, and refused to let any light penetrate. One bright beam, however, did dance through the dusky stillness, and relax in a golden circle on the rich, but now worn, carpet. i There were many high-backed arm chairs placed securely about the room, and the traces of a woman’s hand were revealed in the yellowed, crocheted chair-backs on the backs and arms of the velvety divan and chairs. Behind one of the chairs, in a conspicuous position, was a huge marriage certificate, proudly hanging in a gold frame. In one corner, a significant-looking organ stood, adorned with several small tintypes. The organ was delicately carved, and the matching stool was covered with faded, red plush. Above the impressive fire place was a framed portrait of a bearded gentleman in a Con­ federate uniform. The dignified officer had probably been a family hero for years. ; As the moving men gently lifted the heavy picture down, one of them thought he saw the soldier frown, but he never could be quite sure. —CAROLYN SAYLOR, IV.

NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE CDetpkic Student Body 1 9 • i l 2 ;; : This, the sixth year since the organization of St. Helen’s Hall Student Body, saw an ever increasing interest in its activities. This was due, in large part, to the efficient president, Susan Wolfe, to whose capable leadership we owe the accomplishment and interest of the Student Body meetings this year. Her competent officers for the first term were vice-president, Suzanne Howdershell; treasurer, Anne Alton; secretary, Elizabeth Conley; and sergeant-at-arms, Harriet Conley. Mary Louise Vincent served as editor of the HallIonian. When the second term officers were elected in March, new rules were made, under which the president may run for a second term, and the presidential candidates are "sponsored” by a chosen girl who tells the Student Body of her candidate’s abilities and accomplishments. Also, two sergeants-at-arms were elected and the duties of this office SUSAN WOLFE increased. Susan Wolfe was re-elected to the presidency and thus was able to continue the splendid work begun during the fall term. Second term officers were vicepresident, Marjorie Englchart; treasurer, Margaret Beattie; secretary, Mary Sumner; and scrgcants-at-arms, Sue Lake and Betty-Jo Williams. Hie Student Body carries on work that is traditional from year to year, as well as projects that are original with each new staff. As has been the custom in the past, the Student Body made up baskets for poor families and brought supplies for the Good Samaritan Hospital at Thanksgiving. At Christmas each class prepared baskets for charities, and the Christmas party for the children from the Fruit and Flower Mission was given. The Student Body form a chorus every Tuesday morning under the direction of Mrs. Hildenbrandt, and at the end of the year present a recital. These chorus periods arc sometimes terminated by rallies, for which the Student Body elect cheer leaders. This year the energetic pair who also officiated at the games, were Wilma Rocsch and Mary Deacon. New activities this year include a driving school which was made available to all those in­ terested. Under Secretary of State Snell’s authority, men who are touring the state for this purpose gave us seven lessons in which a good knowledge of safe driving principles was im­ parted. This past year each class sponsored a Civic Theatre Play, which made good entertainment as well as profit. A Constitutional Convention was formed, consisting of Student Body officers and a delegate from each class, in which a new constitution and rule-book manual were drawn up. The Student Body, together with the Junior College Student Body, and both Senior classes brought a beautiful new cyclorama for the auditorium stage. At the end of the year, all re­ maining Student Body funds were given to Sister Superior for the Sister Katherine Angela Memorial Organ. Besides the regular business meetings, the Student Body was entertained and instructed by many speakers throughout the year. These included Mr. Dean Collins, Mr. Quincy Scott, on current events; Miss Daymon, Mrs. Estcrly, and Miss McAfee on various colleges; Mrs. Noyes on the Junior Symphony; Miss Flollingsworth on the Red Cross; Miss Ungar on library work as a vocation; and our own Bishop Dagwell. Although the organization of the Student Body is comparatively young in St. Helen’s Hall, we feel that it is valuable as it furthers the cooperation and interest of the students in their own welfare through self-government. The Red Cross During its second year at the Hall, this organization has been carrying on the work for which it is noted throughout the world. Its activities were effective and included gift boxes for foreign countries and the sponsoring of various Student Body activities to further the Red Cross. I •< i �CDetpkic NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE 47 Junior-Senior Prom Wc Seniors could never feel that our school year would be quite complete without the traditional "Senior Prom.” The Juniors were so generous and thoughtful in arranging this prom to make it truly the best dance of the year. And this it was, indeed, for wc shall never forget the lovely decorations, the sweet music of the orchestra, the familiar punchbowl, and most of all, the exciting atmosphere. It is right that this dance should be unforgettable as for the Seniors it is the culmination of all our school activities. i I Junior Carnival i i As it is the junior class who makes possible the prom for the seniors every June, the custom has arisen that this class shall procure the funds for this dance by organizing a carnival every year. It is given in the spring, and for weeks ahead the students arc dazzled by posters and besieged by pleas to attend. On the eventful evening the auditorium is transformed into a fair ground with gayly colored booths lining the walls, balloons and crepe paper festooning the ceiling, and all other available space roped off for dancing. The crowd is always large, and fun is always to be had, making the carnival truly a success. 1 ; i The Halltonian On reviewing the many items which liven the activities of the Hall, an out­ standing feature is the school paper, the Halltonian. For several years a senior ed­ itor has been chosen for the fall term and the paper has been put out for just one semester. This year, however, the juniors are carrying on in the spring and the girls enjoy this Student Body privilege for the entire year. ■ In order to make the Halltonian en­ tirely a student function, the work of publishing is done by the girls, even to the LAUREL KARG MARY LOUISE VINCENT actual printing. For this part of the work, the school mimeograph is used, and all of the mechanical work is done with enthusiasm by the journalism club members. Typing is an essential qualification in this line, as the cutting of the mimeograph stencils must be a practically flawless masterpiece. Even the process of mimeo­ graphing requires ingenuity and a thorough knowledge of the machine before a truly exemplary edition can be published. Cooperation is very strong among the girls. With their aid, this last year the Halltonian is proud of the example it has set for the future. Many changes have taken place this year in relation to the paper. A journalism club has been formed as one of the regular school organizations. Its main interest is the Halltonian, which it has improved a great deal with the more "up-to-date” journalistic style of writing and organizing. The feminine note is seen with an occasional colored issue, in keeping with a holiday, such as orange at Hallowe’en and ivory and gold at Christmas. I i The Halltonian is a school function which adds much to the luster and quality of the advantages offered by Saint Helen’s Hall to its students. It is the hope of all, that it will con­ tinue on the same path of high standards which it has set for itself, and will forever present ideals which arc worth while. ■ j | �I 3N i ■ I ■ •; i Clubs k:- This year marked tlie beginning of a new system of clubs in Saint Helen’s Hall. The clubs are for everyone instead of a select few, and the girls belong to the group in which they are the most interested. Each club has its own officers and also an adviser. They have meetings twice a week during school time, and they plan their own programs for the year. The results have been satisfactory in every way. & ■ . i M: m ART CLUBS—There arc various art clubs this year: namely, the Sketch Club, the Plastic Arts Club, the Woodcarving Club, and the Pottery Club.

Adviser—Miss Waffle. Editors—Mary Louise Vincent, Laurel Karg. i i ! L ; ! I 1 i i . * ‘ ■ �50 NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE I 5 I i; ! C ; i !•\ .;> % > i i . m i i I r I I,: Athletics Athletics have always been held as a very necessary part of every girl’s education at the Hall, for in addition to making more healthy bodies, athletics promote coordination, teamwork, i I and more important, sportsmanship. Games are usually played just for the love of playing, for serious competition is limited to intra-muial games and tournaments within the school. These contests form a large part of the school-life. In almost any sport that a girl could choose, she could find equipment, instruction, and friendly competition at St. Helen’s Hall. i in the school. It is they who The Athletic Club has always played an important part in sponsor and manage the tournaments, and also who present the awards for outstanding ability. I: i I �I j CDetpkic ; NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE 51 BASKETBALL—Basketball has long been one of the favorite sports enjoyed by all Hall girls, as the different classes always have their teams and competition is held between them. This stimulates both class and school spirit because of the friendly rivalry among them. Besides competition between classes, the "star” players arc grouped together to form a team which challenges the Junior College to a hard-fought battle. Two games were played this year; the first won by the college with a score of 19-18; and the second in which the High School fared rather better and proved victorious with a score of 31-18. i J :! i I VOLLEYBALL—Volleyball is the favorite of the girls who prefer a team game which is of a gentler type than the others, although they have found that this game ranks at the top in requiring speed and coordination between players. The high school formed a varsity team picked from the seniors which played the Junior College and won with a score of 18-32. i I ■ * ■ ■y I I BASEBALL—Baseball is the popular game of the first warm days in the spring. Although many games arc played during the course of the gym periods and the intra-mural tourna­ ments, some of the most interesting baseball can be seen during the lunch period when balls arc batted indiscriminately, and lives, lunches, and window panes seem to be in danger. 1 i; ! If BA DM IN ION—Badminton has rapidly grown in favor during the last two years, as it is an active game and is convenient as an indoor as well as an outdoor game. An extensive tourna­ ment was carried on in the spring, sponsored by the Athletic Club. SWIMMING—Swimming is carried on during the winter months in a nearby club pool. It was started by the boarders, but soon interested the "day dodgers” who missed the swimming pleasures. In the spring and summer, students have the privilege of swimming at "Ever­ glade”, the school’s estate at Oswego Lake. TENNIS—Every free moment of the late spring is devoted to the tennis courts, and the more serious of the fans don’t even waste their lunch periods, but spend it with a racquet in one hand and a sandwich in the other. The tennis tournaments command some of the hardest playing found in any sport, but often this hard work is rewarded and the freshman who spent most of her game running out of the court after balls, may, by the time she is a senior, find herself at the top of the tournaments. I ENC1NG—One of the most interesting of sports offered at the Hall is fencing. These classes obtain expert instruction from Miss Lavanture, who has held titles in this art. Some pupils become adept at feinting and lunging, and others seem to acquire nothing but sore muscles for months, but all agree that fencing holds a fascination. 'g ill 1 V ;i f •: • \ : i I !B ; i i i 1 ; ! ' ! �s V 2 i I 1 i May Regatta The May Festival at Everglade was an event of the year’s calendar to be long remembered by everyone. The ceremony of the crowning of the queen began the festivities when the mistress i of ceremonies placed a wreath of flowers on the head of Queen Susan I. In honor of hermajestry K i | : . « 5! and the royal court, swimming and canoe races were held, and a water pageant of floats beauti­ fully decorated with colorful flowers paraded before the throne. The entries represented the classes, clubs, and individual girls. After the judges had finally come to a decision, her royal highness graciously presented the winners with awards. Later the "new” girls served refresh- m• ments and entertained the "old” girls with skits and stunts. li Altogether the regatta was a great success. Queen Susan Wolfe and Princesses Frances Miller, Nancy Browning, Jeannette Christensen, Margaret Thurtcll, Thelma Amacher, and Gloria Kibbee composed the royal court, and Anne Alton presided as mistress of ceremonies and chairman of all the festivities. . ; B: ! II : l �!! Q)elphic NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE 1 53 Everglade : : Although only twelve miles from the central part of Portland, Everglade seems hundreds of miles distant; it is peaceful and calm in the midst of tall trees and verdant green casting a rippling reflection on Lake Oswego. ■ : The house is large, with diningroom, kitchen, and sizable dormitory. Each of the two livingrooms has a fireplace, and there arc porches on two sides of the house. Everything is car­ ried cut in rustic simplicity, yet nothing is lacking to give comfort. Outside there arc lovely flower beds and paths among trees with rustic benches in nooks that are cool and fragrant from the sap of the trees. There is a tennis court and a broad stretch of lawn overlooking the lake. There arc boathouses containing a motorboat, canoes, and rowboats. During the warm months there is swimming. Nothing could be more delightful than to iloat on one’s back in the cool water and, looking up, find blue sky and green for­ ested mountains. I I I I I I k I I i Everglade is the boarders’ haven, and what could be more perfect after a busy week than relaxation and sports in the simplicity of the surroundings of Everglade? THE BOARDING DEPARTMENT The boarding department, a part of the student-body during school hours, after three o’clock in the af­ ternoons and dur­ ing weekends be­ comes a compact little group with­ in itself. It draws girls from Alaska, Oregon, Washing­ ton, and Califor­ nia. Even far-off New Jersey has a representative. So there is a mingling of personalities and tastes that stimulates friendship. i i •I If The boarders are organized into a group with its own officials. They are, this year, Nadine Thomas, president; Harriet Crawford, vice-president, and Margaret Thurtcll, sec’y-trcasurer. Each year the boarders present the mystery play at Christmas time, and this year have given a house party in honor of their new wing. ! 1 } i ; l I �54 NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE CDeipliLC V i: 9 !

The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. 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.

Mingled feelings of joy and sorrow accompany the gradu­ ation ceremonies of Saint Helen’s Hall. We feel badly about the separation from the friends we have enjoyed so long a time. We feel joy that the task set before us has been accom­ plished. After all, we have been associated for this very pur­ pose of following to its successful conclusion a set course. The parting is not final. Saint Helen’s Hall claims the affection and loyalty of the girls who pass through its halls throughout their lives. The alumnae continue to treasure their memories of school days and to value increasingly the education they enjoyed and the friendships they made. You go out with our prayers for your success. We follow your joys and your dis­ appointments with the same concern we felt in your student days. May you go from strength to strength using your facul­ ties and talents in whatsoever occupation you engage in a way that will bring credit to yourself, your family, your school and your Lord. —Benjamin Dagwell. •i i- 1 �I I I 4 NINETEEN' HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT The Delphic I OFFICERS AND INSTRUCTORS r Rector THE RIGHT REVEREND BENJAMIN DUNLAP DAGWELL THE BISHOP OF OREGON Chaplain THE REVEREND RICHARD F.

In the Hall, every part of the student’s life tends to mold the character to a perfected balance ; she lives an active existence in religion, learning, and recreation which results in a happy, normal life. The finer points of our education that are necessary for the success of a woman are instilled in our characters, naturally. J found this poem by Maud Fletcher Galigher, from an old clipping, and thought it worthy of sharing with you. It is called “Balanced.” i I i ;! i : “Large enough to include all in love; small enough to treasure a single smile. Broad enough to see from another’s viewpoint; narrow enough to use discretion in its acceptance. Not so considerate of others as to rob one’s self; not so inconsiderate as to refuse the slightest gift. Never too high to bend to the lowest; never too low to aspire to the highest. Energetic, but not to the extent that deprives another of doing; never so indolent as to allow another to do one’s own work. Wise enough to know life’s deeper meaning; frivolous enough to enjoy life’s pleasures. Extravagant enough to be surrounded by the beautiful; saving enough to have no more than one can appreciate fully.” ‘ I —Jeanne Miller, Editor. EDITORIALS We do not fully appreciate, until we are about to leave, the treasures and the privileges of our school. We are in an enviable position when we can say, “I am a grad­ uate of St. Helen’s Hall.” The background, the education, and the advantages it has afforded us are rarely attained by other schools. It is difficult to ascertain the wealth of experience which we have gained in high school years, but all who give generously of themselves may freely take in abundance. We have a solid foundation for the life which awaits us without the ivied walls of the Hall, and we can meet it with courage and confidence. We have, instilled within us, high ideals and clear vision—gifts of the Sisters of Saint John Baptist who have guided and directed with unselfish energy our school days. May we measure up to their greatest hopes and our fondest dreams. On that sad and beautiful occasion of Commencement, we, the Seniors, will say good-bye not only to unforgettable friends but to happy times and many associations which we can never recapture in later life. Our hope for future graduates is that they begin early to absorb to the fullest the educational, social, and spiritual advantages which the Hall affords them and to maintain the standards set by our leaders. The attributes of loyalty, honesty, sportsmanship, and knowledge are easily attained in such an environ­ ment, and we depart with reluctance but aspiration for the future. —Betty-Jo Shown, Literary Editor.

The most important change was that the former study hall had been converted into a light, newly equipped library, whose walls were shelved with recently catalogued books numbering in the thousands. Every pupil had access to our fine library of books and the often signed cards in the catalogue are proof of the girls' appreciation. The new equipment in the library consists of two large tables in the center of the room with movable tables and chairs along the side with an occasional easy chair and davenport. The former library is now the magazine room in which is kept the current material and magazines, as the title implies, plus all reference books. This new domain is ruled by the librarian, Mrs. Samuel, and her assistant, Miss Gartha Graves. The new equipment prevails throughout most classrooms. The “unattached” tables and chairs in their semi-circular arrangement were the subject of much enthusiastic conversation among the students. �22 N INETEEN’ HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT The Delphic j JE.WXK MILLER RUTH HOI’IT.K ! THE STUDENT BODY i; The organization of the students of St. Helen’s Hall a few years ago has made it­ self a successful and helpful aid to all. This year the Student Body sponsored many events which were enjoyed by the students. Dances, speakers, and special assemblies all added to the year’s full path. Roberts’ Rules of Order were studied by the students and used to great advantage in the meetings. Last year’s Student Body presented the Sister Superior with light-resistant window shades to enable us to use motion pictures. The extensive and worthwhile use of this gift in almost every affair showed the appreciation of the girls. 1 ' : ; : This year’s Student Body gave all available funds to Sister Superior for the Memorial Fund which will buy the pipe organ for the chapel, to be dedicated to Sister Katharine Angela. The office of the president was held the first term by capable and efficient Jeanne Miller. Ruth Hopper ably assumed the duties for the second term. �I { The Delphic NINETEEN' HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT 23 SYIUL KENNEDY THE STUDENT COUNCIL - This year the members of the Student Council were chosen in n different manner. The previous year the members of Alpha Theta were the Student Council with the president as the head of both club and council. Through the suggestions of several girls the Student Council were as follows: the three officers of Alpha Theta, the class presi­ dents of the four classes, and four appointed members of Alpha Theta. In the case of duplication the vice-president of the class took the president’s seat. The chairman of the Student Council was to be an Alpha Theta holding no other equally important posi­ tion. Sybil Kennedy was elected bv the Alpha Theta members to uphold the position, and we may say that she fulfilled her office very successfully. THE HONOR SYSTEM Shortly after the middle of the year the organization of the Honor System was presented to the Student Body. The idea met with great approval and enthusiasm by all the girls. The Sister Superior agreed upon a period of probation during which time the Student Council was dissolved and the Honor System was adopted. An advisory committee was formed to meet with the Sister Superior to regulate the rules and schedule. 'fhe fundamental principle of the Honor System is as the name implies—Honor. No one group of students is responsible for the upholding of the regulations, but each girl is individually in the care of her own pride and honor. If careless, the student re­ ports herself bv writing out the case and putting it, signed, into the well-known “honor box.” If the Honor System proves successful during the period of probation it will be an established part of the school. “That our daughters may be as the polished corners of the Temple.” �iiette MARY LOUISE VINCENT Mournt HETTY JO SHOWN I’EGG 11' PARK KU THE IIALLTONIAN •i i The publication of the Halltonian was started on the twenty-fourth of October for its fourth consecutive year, under the clever leadership of Bette Morfitt, the editor. Her staff was as follows: Associate Editor, Mary Louise Vincent; Production Manager, Bettv-Jo Shown; Assistant Production Manager, Peggie Parker; Art Editor, Jeanne Miller. It was the aim of the staff to publish a bi-monthly paper which would be of in­ terest to every member of the Student Body and which would be more closeh associated with the class activities. For the first time, class reporters were appointed, each class having an equal right to be represented on the staff. Special articles and contributions were welcomed as well as the reports on interesting speakers and the interviews with the teachers. We feel that it has succeeded in its purpose and that it was enjoyed greatly by everyone in the school. RED CROSS ! ;3 >! Everyone is familiar with the great services of the American Red Cross. This year St. Helen’s Hall girls formed a Junior Red Cross branch under the leadership of live student-elected council members. Our various services, including Christmas gift boxes to Japan, Valentines and George Washington decorations to hospitals, and local office work, has made the work of this year a thing of which to be proud. A great climax to the year’s activities was our delegation of five girls to the National Convention, May 2-5, at San Francisco. California. Jeanne Miller made a unit of the Junior Red Cross possible in St. Helen’s Hall. By her influence, leadership and energy, a worth-while group was maintained. �clke IJnder Glasses !: ' : 1 1 .1 3 i ■\ ; ! ; . : 1 1 ! . i l �/ �! r CLASS OF '39 Row I tary/?<•:,■ 2 ■name (r.uvh.nl/Margaret Thurtell.

If! i Alpha Theta, the honorary-athletic club of St. Helen’s Hall, has been very active this year. The club is composed of those girls who are outstanding in their school activities as well as athletics and scholastic work. This year Alpha Theta has sponsored intra-mural games which proved most suc­ cessful. Beginning in the fall with baseball, there was continuous athletic activity throughout the year. In the fall the girls were taught canoeing and the various sports centered around Everglade, Lake Oswego, prior to the contests held at the May Regatta. Prizes were awarded on Baccalaureate Sunday for those girls excelling in the games of the year. Posture Week, one of the Alpha Theta’s traditional projects, was held this spring. The meritorious posters and essays were worthy proof of its popularity. Awards were presented to the winners of the several contests, including the ten girls with the best postures, as chosen by unknown judges who observed the girls during the week. The officers for the first term were as follows: President, Bette Morfitt; VicePresident, Sybil Kennedy; Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Deacon, and for the second term there were President, Betty Simpkin; Vice-President, Mary Louise Vincent; SecretaryTreasurer, Susan West. Miss Gene Way, physical education instructor, was the faculty adviser. �i| i|j I i! INTRA-MURALS This year, instead of the regular inter-scholastic games, it was decided to have intra­ murals. Any girl who desired to play the game in season signed up with Sybil Kennedy, who was in charge of the athletics. The games were played off by double elimination every Tuesday and Thursday at 3:00 o’clock. From the list of girls who signed up, captains and teams were chosen by the entire group, the captain and her team receiving a color for a title. Mary Louise Vincent ably assisted Sybil Kennedy in her schedule and score-keepings. The value of informal competition with friendly rivals is recog­ nized ; consequently we had a most successful athletic year. f. I . R ! i ■; ; i 1 ' i ; BASEBALL We had three famous teams this year that ran very close to each other and kept us all working hard for the title. Sue West, Robin Nelson and Joan Kernan were the top captains. Miss Gene Way, our instructor, acted as umpire at the contests which all too often ended in a tie. Our second Babe Ruth was not hard to pick when a home-run hitter such as Sue Lake was visible. * il i : '• 1| |j f i: VOLLEYBALL In volleyball a large number of girls signed up with Sybil Kennedy again, and we were able to have five teams. The five captains chosen by the girls were Kathryn Thompson, Betty Simpkin, Betty-Jo Shown, Mary Louise Vincent, and Joan Kernan. Kathryn Thompson came out the win­ ner when she played the championship game with Mary Louise Vincent. This game ended with the close score of 25-28. BASKETBALL The basketball intra-murals were all fast, keen games as each team fought hard to bring its color to victory. The captains were as follows: Kathryn Thompson, Mary Louise Vincent, Patsy Liveslev, and Betty-Jo Shown. At the end of the season an all-star team was chosen from the high school and on March 24 we played the Junior College team The score was IS-14 in our glorious favor. Kathryn Thompson was the cap­ tain of the winning team. TENNIS Tennis was one of the most outstanding and eagerly awaited activities this spring. After long hours of practice a large number of the girls entered the competition offered by the singles and doubles tournaments. Many of the younger girls showed promise of future champions, and after hard fought sets the victorious champions will soon be seen. The tournaments were not com­ pleted until the end of the school term; therefore the results cannot be published in this issue. i i ; ' i i V : ■ i a ■! : .' : i • ' ‘ _ : I �I.

A new group was started at Lake Oswego Hunt Club this year, in addition to the activity at Highland’s Riding Academy. Both private instruction and outside pleasure riding was indulged in, the riding continuing throughout the summer and winter months. A^ the spring and clear weather came the time allotted for riding was increased and many delightful “horse-treks” were made cross country and around Lake Oswego. • \ if • I It! i ,! i . . 1. i •' i : i ! SKIING -ii i : { i i i ; ! i . ! ; i : :j i To meet the desires of our Student Body members during the winter months, a ski club was organized. Not a week-end passed without some of our ski scouts returning from Mt. Hood with tales of thrilling spills, and newly tried feats. The week-end parties were the continuous talk of the school and were held at Cascade or Timberline Lodges, or at private cabins near Rhododendron. These club members were enthusiastic over the excellent instruction that they received from Mr. Brad Adams and gained much encouragement to continue their ski schooling throughout the snow months. �I SPORTS No school would be complete without sports. It is an essential to both the health and spirit of the students. St. Helen’s Hall has its due number of athletics, including many to which few organizations have access. The following sports were not included among the intra-murals, but separate tournaments were held. These special activities are seldom found in the smaller school and we feel privileged to take part in them, and to be instructed by experts. ARCHERY One of the most popular sports at the Hall is Archery. It is excellent for a steady arm and a true eye, but good marksmanship comes only through regular practice. However, these hours of practice are well rewarded when one is able to feel the twang of the string as the arrow leaves the bow, and Hies swiftly, straight as the die, to the center of the target. Much enthusiasm was aroused by the archery tournament which was held this spring. Excel­ lent form and keen competition were shown. FENCING After seeing the college girls’ array of pads, masks, and swords (which we now know enough to call "foils"), some of us were filled with the desire to fence. Soon we had Miss Way calling, "Extend; lunge; cn garde; up”, as we shuffled about the gym, and many a muscle was aching from the leg stretching involved. Of course, prog­ ress was slow at first and wc felt very awkward, but after a time we were really dueling as foils clashed in mortal combat. The fever spread and privately owned foils were flashing in the locker rooms as owners disputed over positions four and six. The only fly in the ointment was that one left-handed person wanted very badly to fence and couldn't seem to fit in. POSTURE At all hours of almost any day one can al­ ways find a very tired group of students come puffing and steaming into the library or class­ rooms. They are the “newly exercised" members of a posture class. As they do the twisting and turning exercises, one might hear knee bones cracking in one corner, and from the other side of the room a few moans and groans from the girl who went skiing the day before as she stretches the touchy muscles; however, no one seems too stiff or tired when it comes to the Polka and Schottish, the two folk dances in which they have all become very adept. These last dances serve as a welcome and happy finale to nearly every class. BADMINTON Although badminton has just recently been introduced into the Hall, it is rapidly gaining popularity. To beginners the cock seems merely to float easily through the air, but, as some of the girls have already discovered, it later shoots back and forth across the net with surprising swiftness. For this reason one must develop fast foot-work as well as a fine control over the racket. With the enthusiasm of the girls as a foundation, the spring tournament was expert and filled with keen competition, which always results in success. . �1.1 ) i 32 ! .

The need for more outdoor recreation was becoming: greater and greater as the Hall grew. In October of 1930, a spacious lodge was completed on the shore of Oswego Lake. Inside is a lounge with two large fireplaces, comfortable chairs, billiard and ping-pong table, a radio, victrola, and player piano to provide for rainy days. Also, ample facilities for cooking and sleeping make this the ideal recreation center. Outside, there is a tennis court, seven canoes, several rowboats, and a motor boat, all for the use of the day-dodgers and boarders, especially the latter. There are many interesting places to explore nearby for the more ambitious hikers. A large outdoor fireplace where often weenies or marshmallows can be seen toasting on the end of sticks, provides for many of the happy times to be had there. Mr. Charles H. Watzek, father of Frances Watzek, a graduate of 1930, donated two lovely canoes to our playground 1 as well as many other much appreciated gifts, thus making it possible for more girls to ‘ ; �: f : l ACTIVITIES “Everglade” is located on a small peninsula into Lake Oswego affording added privacy and shore-line. The surrounding trees and clear water lend a beautiful back­ ground for our pleasure. As Everglade is primarily a recreation center, it is obvious that the activities below are of much importance. SWIMMING A veritable playground for mermaids is Ever­ glade, with its inviting water calling all the girls to swim. Swimming is a sport indulged in by most girls, and it may well be said of the Hall girls. Swimming, relays, races, and even spectat­ ing are popular for both young and old when we get together at Everglade. DIVING Perhaps diving is not indulged in as much as swimming, but whether a “flop” or a perfectly executed “jack” is seen diving from the boards, applause comes from all sides. A high board and a low board arc the facilities for diving. Capable teachers give us instruction in the spring and fall, making diving a sport to really learn and enjoy. CANOEING “Stroke, stroke, hey, let up on the splashing,” are familiar passwords to the art of canoeing. Gesticulating, friendly bantering, canoe races, and teasing can be heard when the girls are on the lake. Frequent sunburns and blister show only too well what direct communication between the sun and the water do to energetic paddlers. FIRESIDE Singing, story-telling, and once in a while the history of the school told by our Sister Superior are frequent topics about bedtime. Great quan­ tities of food fill the emptiness in our stomachs and send us to dreamland with light hearts and joyous thoughts. Our generous Sister Superior knows every “want” of a young girl, which knowledge accounts for our merry times. �I I : NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT The Delphic I i . I , ; I ! ’I I ri MAY REGATTA This year as an unusual change, the May Festival was converted into a water carnival or regatta. The gracious queen who was to rule the day was crowned on a float of flowers; thus began the colorful affair. There were canoe races, swimming and diving meets, and other stunts. The awards for the winners were presented by the queen. The most outstanding event was the floral parade on the water. There were private entries and class floats which were decorated in bright colored flowers. Follow­ ing the water exhibition refreshments were served in the lake house, Everglade, by the “new” girls. This last event fulfilled the annual Ncw-Girl Old-Girl Party entertain­ ment which is always held after the May Festival. l : E ; *i : ! 1 I « l ! ,i ■ j } ; i : : : ! t i: l The May Regatta was ruled by Her Royal Highness, Queen Nita I, surrounded by her court, the Princesses Nancy Stratton.

The Alumnae Pin is awarded to a senior of good scholarship who has most actively contributed to school life. This honor went to Jean Groves, and honorable mention to Elsie Lou Green. The award for good citizenship in the boarding department went to Ethel May Robinett. The Mills College Trustee Scholarship of $500 was awarded to Catherine Boyden. The Medal for the best essay on a patriotic subject awarded by the National Society of Colonial Daughters was won by Margaret Renton, of the eighth grade. Subject: The American Red Cross and Patriotism. Other Winners of Certificate of Merit: Clara Jeannette Roxbury, freshman. Martha Cake, freshman. Georgina Squires, freshman. Jean C. Barnes, sophomore. Mary Sumner, eighth grade. Mary Elizabeth Aldrich, eighth grade. In the “Noted Picture Contest,” the first prize went to Eleanor Olliver. Two second prizes went to Patricia Liveslcy and Sybil Kennedy, and two third prizes went to Billie Wade and Eliza Hobbie, each of whom also won prizes last year, as did Sybil Kennedy. In the essay contest conducted by the Oregon Historical Society for the Beekman prize, honorable mention was given to Jeanne Miller for her essay on Captain Bonne­ ville. The Gorgas Memorial Institute awarded the medal for the State of Oregon to Catherine Boyden for her essay on “The Importance of Mosquito Control and the Gorgas Memorial.” 1 �I ' : 36 NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT The Delphic ' I * ■ On the Holford Cup for the highest average in Sacred Studies during the year, there was engraved the name of Alice Gregory.

It is a literary honorary club and extends its membership to those girls who have proven their literary and scholastic ability. Its purpose is to foster cultural interests and to encourage literary talent in the school. To better achieve this goal, an annual essay con­ test is sponsored among the students, the compositions being judged for originality, style and skill in presentation. The award for the contest is a handsome gold cup with the name of the winner engraved upon it. Last year, Susan Wolfe won the cup with her description, “The Moody Wind.” This year precedent was disregarded and the contest was held earlier in the year; therefore, instead of the May Queen as heretofore, Betty-Jo Show n presented the cup at a Student Body assembly. Sue West was the recipient of the trophy for her short story, “Architect.” Maradick Word received honorable men­ tion. In order to preserve and display the compositions of the members of Quill and Ink, a beautiful black suede book, inscribed in gold, was given to the Sister Superior for the Magazine Room. The officers for the past year were President, Betty-Jo Shown; Vice-President, Robin Nelson; Secretary, Billie Wade; Treasurer, Mary Louise Vincent, and Sergeantat-arms, Martha Ditto. Miss Josephine Waffle, head of the English Department, was the faculty adviser. �I i ! i: : I i 40 NINETEEN’ HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT The Delphic I ARCHITECT Quill and Ink Contest: First Prize, Short Story. I .• i; : ; i V I a• . i1 : i Pete was a youngster of three years. He was not an active child—he was far too fat to be active, but he did have an energetic mind and he spent a large portion of his time considering things he might do if he were only a little slimmer. Pete’s future was all planned. He was going to be an architect. At least that is the way his very proud parents interpreted certain of his quite innocent remarks. Pete, in his earlier youth, had once casually mentioned the fact that he would like some wood with which to build a house. His mother, an artist named Penelope, was delighted with her young son’s re­ quest. She considered it an unquestionable indication that he was destined from the very start to be an architect, and she was pleased to know so far in advance, so that she could begin his training early. Anyway, she had always admired architects as a group, and the prospect of having one of them in the family was agreeable to her. His father, Pete Senior, who was a young engineer of promise, was glumly satisfied in the manner of fathers who would much prefer having their sons follow their professions. Penelope, though, was an artist in more ways than one, and she exercised a strange power over her husband. With the aid of this power, she was able to convince him rather easily that it would hardly be fair for Pete to grow up entirely engineer with none of her artistic tendencies whatever. Pete Senior was readily reconciled to this theory and in practically no time he was enthusiastically in favor of having his son both an artist and an engineer—(Penelope had carefully assured him that an architect was just that). From that time on scarcely a day passed that did not bring to Pete some new set of blocks or similar building material. Pete Senior and Penelope, with no delay, spread the news far and wide that their son was early displaying signs of archi­ tectural genius and that he loved building blocks. Friends and relatives took the hint, and as little Pete was quite a favorite among them, they were very generous with their gifts. Pete submitted quietly to all their generosity because he was by nature a patient chap, but he often wished secretly that they would stop all the silly fuss. He had asked for some wood with which to build a house, and they had given it to him. For that he had been grateful—and he had thanked them appreciatively and had built the house. That, he thought, should have closed the matter, but it hadn’t—they had just kept giving him more and more wood for which he had no use whatever. He could see, though, that it pleased them to present him with these gifts; so he accepted them graciously and without complaint. I ! ; i.l . ! ;1 : ! I .i I i: ; ' ; . ! j I' 1 : : : '( i l For two years people continued giving Pete blocks and various other building materials, until, at the age of three years, he possessed a most complete collection of these constructive playthings and one of which his parents were rightly proud. Also for two years, Pete spent most of his waking hours imprisoned in a small pen about six feet square, with his blocks as his sole companions. Perhaps that imprisonment could account for the fact that Pete was a bit stouter than most other boys his age. Pete did not spend all his time those two years building things with his blocks. If he had he would have soon quite tired of them, and Pete Senior and Penelope would have lost as soon �I The Delphic NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT 41 their happy illusion that their son was completely living up to their fondest dreams. No, Pete paused only occasionally for his blocks—and then only to admire the hand­ some colors of some of them and to bury underneath the pile others which did not please his critical eye. The rest of his time Pete spent exercising his energetic mind. As I mentioned before, Pete’s favorite form of mental exercise was in considering the many things lie might do were he not so fat. Now and then, when all the ugly blocks were buried, and when he could think of nothing pleasant to consider doing, Pete would watch the gardener. Between the gardener and Pete there existed a degree of deep, mutual admiration. The gardener, a simple fellow named Tom, admired anything that belonged to his employer, but he respected especially this prodigious child who was destined to become, in time, a great architect. So deep, in fact, was Tom’s admiration for Pete that he had once sacrificed a much longed for necktie in order that he might buy a particularly fine set of blocks for his little hero. It made poor old Tom happy, indeed, to note that the blocks he had given were always in the pen with Pete, and that Pete always began construction with “his” blocks. Pete’s admiration for Tom was in an entirely different vein. Pete admired Tom’s lithe, supple form and his ability to bend over so beautifully—a feat which Pete never hoped to be able to perform. One sunny, warm afternoon in early spring, Pete found himself in a peculiar situa­ tion. He was sitting in the center of his pen and physically perfectly contented; still there was something wrong. Tom had finished his work early and had left. All the ugly blocks were satisfactorily hidden from his sight, and Pete was busily considering things to do. He was considering things that Tom did, and he suddenly found himself in a very strange state of mind. He felt that he simply could not endure another moment in that prison. It was unlike Pete to be rebellious, yet at that moment his whole being was just that. He decided to escape. With a sudden, supreme effort, he picked himself up and clambered over the side of the pen. On the other side he sat down to catch his breath before proceeding on his way. Having fully regained his equilibrium, he again scrambled to his feet and resumed his tour of exploration. Up to this time, Pete had been oblivious to everything outside the walls of his pen. Today, however, was different. Nothing escaped Pete’s sharp eyes on this, his first journey into the world which he had so long ignored. He made his way slowly around to the back of the house, where an unhappy sight met his eyes. It was the garden. The garden Pete remembered was not like the garden he saw now. Always before when he had noticed it there had been ever so many lovely flowers. He had not noticed it at all lately, though. The last time he really looked was way last fall. Since then he had left it for Tom to tend. Could it be that Tom had forgotten? Oh, but of course not! Tom would not forget because he loved the garden too, and anyway he knew that Pete Senior would never allow such a thing to happen. But then what had happened ? The garden was bare and neglected and something must have caused it. Well, no matter, Pete would see Tom tomorrow and find out about it. In the meanwhile the garden must be rehabilitated. Pete set himself to this task immediately. He completely forgot his avordupois and began work with undreamed of ambition. First of all he must find something to plant in the garden. This was comparatively easy. In his occasional conversations with Tom, he had learned that behind the house on the far side of the garden there was a vacant lot, and that in :• 4 �! I i;i i 42 I ! |» NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT The Delphic the middle of that lot there was a large pile of cut grass and leaves. Whenever Tom mowed the grass or trimmed the hedge, he took the trimmings and mowings out to this pile. This morning Tom had been working in the yard and he had dug up some pretty yellow flowers and had put them in his trash basket. This had bothered Pete at the time. It was not like Tom to treat flowers so roughly, he thought, but he said nothing. He knew that everything Tom carried away in his trash basket went to the big pile in the lot. He had only to go out after the yellow flowers. By so doing—by getting those flowers and planting them, he would repair not only the garden but also Tom’s error of the morning; so out he trudged. It took him the better part of ten minutes to get there, as he had to stop for rest every few yards. He finally arrived and set to carefully selecting the freshest of the blossoms. As they were plenteous in the heap, he had little difficulty in finding a sufficient number. When he had gathered eleven, lie was satisfied and, pausing only long enough to brush the loose grass from his clothing, he started back to the garden. He ran eagerly this time, not willing to lose a single precious in­ stant. He must have the garden all planted by the time his mother returned. Pete reached the garden thoroughly exhausted, but not yet in a condition serious enough to prevent the completion of his task. On hands and knees he worked, digging in the soft earth. Perspiration poured down his dirty brown face, but he went right on. Thirty minutes passed before Pete finished digging. Then he engaged himsell in busily filling up the eleven small holes he so diligently had dug, after first carefully inserting in each, a newly-dusted, yellow flower. Having successfully completed his task, he scrambled to his feet that he might survey his work. There he stood, in all his grubby pride, beam­ ing down on the symmetrical row of eleven dandelions. “No more of that architect business for me,” thought Pete, “I’m going to be a gardener, like Tom.” —Sue West VI. r '• ■. i I; i ?

On a table, which was very well adapted to its round pudgy form, sat a quaint old German stein. It looked as though many a merry, Teutonic gentleman had enjoyed drinking rich, brown schnapps from its rotund depths. It was painted in dark blue and light cream, with mischievous trolls and elves arranged around its sides, each one partaking of some delicious beverage. Their long, white beards seemed to wave in the breeze, and their joyous blue eyes sparkled and danced as they enjoyed their bacchanalian pleasures. When one lifted the silver lid, a small mechanism in the bottom tinkled out “Ach du licber Augustine” very slowly. Altogether, it was a friendly little stein, sitting there, inviting anyone who hap pened to pass by, to sample its tasty contents. —Maradick Word IV. �I ■ . The Delphic NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT 43 APPEALS TO THE FIVE SENSES 1 — SOUND THE PREDICTION OF THE VIOLIN Once upon a time there lived in Vienna, Austria, an old musician who cherished nothing more dearly in his possession than an ancient violin that his father had played and his father before him. The wood was worn away in places where he had held it and lovingly fondled it. The tones of the instrument were mellow and rich, but only when the Master played did the melody take on a peculiar touch, answering and echoing his every emotion. Most of the time the tunc was soft and light, but sometimes the air was mingled with sadness and mystery. There was a legend among the old folk of the city that an age-long spell was cast on the violin, and when disaster was upon them the instrument would speak in wild and melancholy strains, warning the peasants of impending doom. And the old musician played his violin monotonously day after day. When the weather was frigid and the wind whistled through the streets of the city, he wove fantastic and weird patterns of music with slow minor tones, but when the sun shone again, sunny melodies began to flow from the strings. One March evening the Master was sitting by his fire, violin in hand. He plucked the strings, waiting for an inspiration, when suddenly from the inner depths of his soul sprang an insupprcssible desire to wring shrill, howling notes from his instrument, such a> the good people of Vienna had never heard the violin utter before. He flung open the door of his humble dwelling and screeched into the night the alarm notes to the sleeping people. Louder and louder! The bow seemed to draw itself across the strings. Faster and faster! Higher and higher! The people heard and knew. The city had fallen and was no longer free. Vienna was conquered. —Anne Alton IV. 2—SIGHT A thousand years ago probably saw this ruined castle in the height of its glory, but now it only tells of the past in its crumbling walls, broken towers and the heavy silence. Weeds grow in the dry moat, and vines and briars trail over the sagging drawbridge. Stones are missing from the walls, leaving great holes in its surface, and the ground at its feet is strewn with these fragments, waiting to be replaced. The narrow slits that once served as windows still retain their mysterious secrecy; and as I strain my eyes, at last, 1 do sec movement high in a tower window. I half expect to sec a captive princess or Sleeping Beauty looking down at me, but it is only a barn swallow, who, as he flies away, loosens a pebble that clatters noisily to the ground, leaving the old castle even more silent as the tiny stone comes to rest in the mossy grass. —Mary Louise Vincent V. 3 —TOUCH THERE COMES A TIME She gently stroked the rough and leathery hand, knotted by many years of constant toil. She caressed the wrinkled forehead and smoothed the silky white hair, patted the down pillow to make a softer nest for the tired old head. She felt the warm, uneven breath on her arm as she pulled the hand-made quilt higher around the lifeless shoulders. The tears on her own cheeks were cool and steady. The breeze from the open window was sultry and heavy, giving no comfort. The weight of the future rested on her shoulders. —Betty-Jo Shown VI. �I j 44 NINETEEN’ HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT The Delphic I 4 — SMELL SMELLS • ! ; : ; i : \ ou might not like the smells that I like, because some appeal to me, not for their scent alone, but because they are interesting or suggest something pleasant.

For Lindy’s service in our family started when she was little more than a pickaninny. She was a slave on my grandfather s plantation, in Tennessee, as were her parents before her. One of the few loyal souls was she whom the Emancipation Proclamation did not affect, for she loved us as we loved her, and she remained in our service until the day she died. It was her own dear wish to do so. Though Lindy was black of color her heart was white and kind and big. None of us ever knew her true age. I doubt that she knew it herself for if asked she would say, “Shore nuf, hones’ and truf, I don’ recollec’.” The true southern mammy type she was, even to the red bandanna tied securely around her kinky head. From beneath that red bandanna peered a pair of earnest eves from a kind black face that was to become old and wrinkled in the service of her Missus and Massa. When she was younger she bore her more than hundred and seventy pounds proudly. As she grew very old she became almost wizened. Lindy believed that the kitchen was no place for “white folks”; “Now honey chile, you clear long outa here,” she would say. “Don’ you come messin’ roun’ here and spoil yore perty hands. Dis yere ain’ no place for lil’ white chillun.” It was the same with the grown-ups, and she would mean it with all the sincerity of her good old heart. Typical of the women of her race, her greatest pride was in her cooking. Guests were always welcome, as feu or many as cared to drop in, and for as long as they cared to stay. Lindy was never unprepared. Thanksgiving dinner was a thing to be looked forward to and long to be remembered. Chicken was not a luxury, but an everyday occurrence. Breakfast was not breakfast without at least one hot bread, either biscuits, spoon bread or corn bread. Potato chips didn’t come in cellophane bags. Lindv made great bowls of them. In the icebox in the summer dining room were always at least two big watermelons, and it was almost a ritual to cut one in mid-afternoon in summer. Of Lindy’s meals you ate and then ate more. If _vou were filled to bursting on one serving you would still take another because you knew it pleased her, and you couldn’t stand the disappointment in her dear old eves if you didn’t. When my mother was quite young Lindy went very mysteriously off to town one day and came proudly home with a little pearl ring which she had bought for “the liT missy”. Not the ten-cent store variety either. It was a very real pearl, set in very real �5; The Delphic NINETEEN' HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT 45 gold and bought from savings earned from very real toil. I am wearing that ring now. and 1 need not tell you that it is one of my most treasured possessions. In the many long years that Lindy served us she attended births, weddings, and deaths. She shared our greatest joys and deepest sorrows. She welcomed the little new­ comers of our family, took them in her kind capable black arms, nursed them through their baby illnesses with many an old fashioned remedy. She raised them and they grew to love her. She watched them grow, saw them marry and then even nursed their babies. She attended many a sick bed and nursed her patients back to health. She stood by many a death bed and watched her loved ones go and mourned their passing as deeply and sincerely as if they had been her own. And now Lindy is dead. Heaven must have opened wide its gates to receive that kind, lovable, old soul, and I knew no one of whom it can be better and more truth­ ful l\ said, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” —Dorothy Stauffer IV. : HOW TO MAKE THE BED IN AN UPPER BUNK ; If you are so fortunate as not to have built-in bunks in your brothers’ room and brothers that either can’t or won’t make their own beds, the following may interest you but slightl) ; but if you do have both of the aforementioned objects interrupting an otherwise peaceful family life, this exposition may prove of real value to you, unless you have perfected a system of your own. h irst, you must prepare yourself for the ordeal. I would suggest listening to soft music for a half hour, or finding some other such calming and soothing occupation to get in the best possible frame of mind (and your temper at a low degree of tempera­ ture). As for the outfit best adapted to this work, 1 would suggest pajamas, and if your bunks are the type built into the wall, a football helmet is desirable, if not altogether necessary. Now you are read) to begin. The first problem is the ascent. This is best accom­ plished by standing on the lower bunk, and holding on to the ledge of the upper. Then jump with one foot and swing the other leg up on the upper bunk. A pause at this point is usually fatal. Now by clinging to the upper bunk with your knees and clutching the sheets with your hands (they’ll slip, but go right on) you somehow manage to reach the summit. You never know how; so you feel very smug and self-satisfied at this point of the game. Now comes the actual process. All the blankets should be in a wad at the foot of the bed if your brother is normal. To commence, these should all be transferred to the head with one sheet; then the lower sheet should be tucked in securely at the bottom. All this is fairly easy and is accomplished by sitting, or half-kneeling, in the middle of the bed. You then transfer the whole pile of bedclothes to the foot and prepare yourself for the real test. You take the top of the sheet firmly in both hands, and as you leap into the air, cracking vour head smartly against the ceiling, you pull on the sheet and tuck it under the head of the mattress. If you are really adept at this, you can have the sheet pulled smooth and partly tucked in before you land. This process is repeated again and again, until all the covers are in place. In short: first, transfer the covers, tuck in the foot, transfer the covers, leap and tuck in the head. If you get lots of practice and become really agile, you can obtain a sort of rhythm in this process: transfer, tuck, transfer, leap-tuck, etc. This manner of making upper bunks is hard on the springs, hard on the sheets, and hard on your physical condition ; and although it may not be terribly efficient, it is very effective. Putting on the bedspread requires an even more complicated technique; so that will have to come in the next lesson. —Mary Louise Vincent V.

In the pasture cows were grazing; some stood idly in the lake, lazily switching flies; others lay beneath the sheltering oaks. Little colts frolicked on the edge of the water, while their mothers grazed peacefully nearby. A heron dipped its long, slim neck into the water for some unsuspecting insect. The deep blue sky was dotted with fleecy, white clouds and the wind rustled the leaves on the trees and made ripples on the water. 1 1 turned my horse loose on a hill and gave him my last farewell. The sun shone upon his flaxen mane as it tossed wildly in the wind. He was young and free again. Proudly he raised his head to whinny, then galloped down to join a band of horses, quietly grazing below. i ! f 1 returned to the land of dark foreboding trees, to my work, with the fragrance of wild hay and the peace of that countryside lingering with me. Some day, when I’m weary of work and play, I dream that I may find peace and youth on such an island paradise. —M’liss Loeding V. i: i; THE HOUSE OVERLOOKING THE SEA Huge grey rocks, splotches of greenish water which alternately foamed and sparkled as the waves pounded against them, formed a base for a tiny, crazy cottage precariously, yet quite nonchalantly tipped in a peculiar position upon the jutting boulders. Its face was a huge plate glass window overlooking the swirling sea, and the roof was tucked on with a brim hanging low over the front. Of course, there was an unbalanced chimney of red brick, lazily sending puffs of smoke to the ruffly grey and white sky. Curiously pondering as to the ownership of this wee cottage, I resolutely clambered up the rocks, barely able to define the mountain-goatish path. Finally the top, and as I stood trying to catch my breath, I looked eagerly about me. What a peculiar place! Why, I was mistaken! There was no entrance facing the sea, nothing but this big win­ dow. How odd, but there was a flash of something from the interior. Oh ho, now I shall see. Creeping stealthily to one side of the window, and peering in, I saw the secret of it all! An old man, very distinguished with a long silvery beard, was skilfully sketch­ ing in a background on a lovely oil of the rocks and sea. I wanted to go and have a chat with such an interesting old fellow, but the tide was coming in; so I awkwardly half slipped and half fell down that unforgettable path, pausing at the bottom to take one last look at the little house with the unbelievable equilibrium. . -I . i —Suzanne Howdershell V. i i ■ ■ �I I I J 48 NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT The Delphic ] i LOWER SCHOOL SPRING !

Johnny Stalnaker and his orchestra gave us the best of music and though the lights were low, the gayety ran high. The able committee of seniors were greatly responsible for the success of our first dance. Our second affair was a very sporty dance, with bright colored skirts and sweaters and Spauldings predominating. Johnny Stalnaker again presented his orchestra, and the evening fairly flew by on wings of song. This event was in charge of juniors and under-classmen and was truly an ideal evening. The last student body dance of the year was held on May 6th. Ellis Laync gave us his music while we danced in the honor of the Royal Court of the May Regatta. Beautiful corsages were presented to the Queen and her six attendants, which gave a bit of excitement to our evening. I OLD-GIRL NEW-GIRL PARTY At the Old-Girl Ncw-Girls’ Party, given by the “old” girls in the fall, the “new” girls were correctly initiated into the Student Body. Everyone was then served refresh­ ments and the evening was concluded with dancing. The “new” girls had their revenge on the “old” girls in the spring, but the enter­ tainment was much less strenuous, as the differences caused by the initiation had been well closed with friendly associations during the year. CANTATA The annual Christmas Cantata was held this year December 15th. This is the musical event of the year. The boarders, in song, give the story of the Birth of Christ, the Three Wise Men, and the many other beautiful stories centered upon this greatest of all events. Each boarder invites a “day-dodger” as her guest for the evening. The Cantata begins with a dinner at the Hall, then comes the Cantata, and the affair has a grand finale of singing, games and refreshments. This year was no exception to the happy atmosphere. The Cantata was lovely and most impressive; its effect upon the girls gave a sense of great joy and good will toward all throughout the evening. ' i !! ;; ! I Si-' ; : •I » : ; .! STUNT NIGHT . A novel form of entertainment was inaugurated during this hist year. A new film projector was needed for the Student Body, and Alpha Theta led the campaign to finance one. As the Student Body was to benefit by the projector, it was up to them to earn it; so they were divided into groups and with the aid of the Junior College, pre­ sented a whole evening’s entertainment, under the sponsorship of Alpha Theta. A great variety of acts and plays were given. Alpha Theta presented another Stunt Night, but offered only the talents within the club, as the benefit was for Alpha Theta funds alone. . ■ . : I -M : ! ■ i j : I i h1 I :• II 1 i Lii ? : ■ i The Dramatic Class was a very flourishing and ambitious organization this year under the able direction of Miss Carolyn Bowers, and Miss Charlotte Brownfield. They were on hand for every call for entertainment. They performed at the Stunt Nights and at many Student Body meetings and activities. During this year they pre­ sented The Perfect Holiday, an extract from Little IVomen; My Lady's Lace, a light comedy; and League of Nations and Washington's Birthday, occasional plays. i : )j 1 DRAMATIC ART CLASS i : •! ■ �' ' Old Qirl cNotes ■ . ; ani) £/xchant)es I i i !! i i ( i .1 I i I I i ��! ! . 1 he Delphic NINETEEN' HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT ;J i j 55 ' OLD GIRL NOTES 1937 CAVELL ABBOTT is studying music with Bernard Abramowitsch.

The Exchange Editors felt it would he sufficiently interesting to everyone to have it published in The Delphic. Lycee de Jeunes Filles, Niort, France, March 10, 193S. Dear Frankie: Being not only a graduate of St. Helen’s Hall but also a former Editor-in-Chief of The Dei.ihiic, I fully appreciate what I call a "magnificent idea", viz. that of making an exchange with a foreign school. Unfortunately, however, it takes two to make an exchange, and the French Lycees do not print yearbooks. To make quite sure, I showed your letter to the Directrice and explained the idea to her. She said that so far as she knew no Ivcee had such a publication. Possibly the big ones in Paris or some of the private schools might have. Most of the private schools are Roman Catholic, so I consulted Mile. Marchand, who knows some of them. She knew of none that had a yearbook. There are private schools in Europe which were founded chiefly for American children. Some of them might have retained the American tradition, but I know nothing of this . . . . Education in France is controlled by the national government and this year, for the first time, a program has been undertaken in all the French lycees to organize activities for the leisure time of the student. They have English, art, sewing, cooking, radio and dramatic clubs which meet on Saturday afternoons with the professors. (Thursday, instead of Saturday, is a holiday here.) Student government and inter-scholastic games are as yet unknown. There is one fete each year when the students present a play in the afternoon and have a fancy-dress ball in the evening. It is an all-day affair and they have it on a Sunday! Otherwise, there are no dances, no teas, no formal dinners or luncheons at the school. Boarders are never allowed to go outside the lycee, even in the day-time or in student groups, and I have never heard of a girl paying a chaperone to take her out. On Thursdays and Sundays, they all go for walks with a “maitresse d'internat” or they are taken out by parents and friends. Otherwise, they face the dreary prospect of staying in. The lycee has a great ! r ; 1 ■ : ; �I l ! I i .t i i 1 ; 58 NINETEEN' HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT The Delphic f enclosed court, where the girls can be outdoors, but there is neither grass nor flowers, so it is not very pleasant. The only recreation room is a kind of barn-like gymnasium, completely bare except for a stage at one end. The dormitories are much like yours, but less attractive. Each girl has a tiny cubicle. Room-mates are unheard of, so these rooms are always single. They contain only a bed, lava lory, and something to keep clothes in. Dresses, coats, etc., are kept in another room, called the “vestiare”. All students wear a tan cotton coat over their own clothes at school. Boarders must have navy blue coats and uniform hats! In English boarding schools, coats and hats are uniform also, so consider yourselves lucky! Classes go from 8:00 o’clock in the morning until noon. The boarders have lunch, recreation and a study-period before work is resumed at 2:00 o’clock. The school day ends at 4:00 and the boarders line up for their “gouter”, a hard French roll and a small bar of chocolate. Later there are more study periods. Dinner is at 7:00 and lights are out at 9:30. In general, the standards of instruction are good, but living conditions are decidedly back­ ward. England also is behind America, though far, far ahead of France. I am sorry that I have not the time to write you a really interesting letter about it all, but I am immersed in a report for the Institute of International Education and letter-writing must wait until that is finished. With the new “loisirs” (leisures) student publications may be started in France also. If you would be kind enough to send a copy of last year’s Delphic, I am sure that the Dircctrice and English students would be much interested in seeing it. .5 , .! j I i t ■ i Yours very sincerely, IRENE SOEI-JREX.

The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. 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.

Almost in the heart of Portland stands a beautiful, old brick building, St. Helen’s Hall, from whose windows 1 one may see the distant snow-capped mountain peaks. Since the founding of the school in 1869 it has continued to thrive and grow until today it comprises not only a grade and high school but also a pre-school and Junior College. For thirty-three years the Sisters of St. John Baptist, by their untiring efforts, have been fulfilling the hopes and dreams of Bishop Morris, the founder of St. Helen s Hall; and today it is one of the oldest and most outstanding schools for girls in the West. : ! | '■ . : ;1 i / : ill : J m ': i » i \ 11: M ! : i ■ : ; ' �( I I I ' ; - f .i ,ii ii I i MOUNT HOOD FROM LOST LAKii �T. ! i; ! i \ I ) ! i : : > i ■ i ;: M i ; [■> I MT.

The purpose of this organization is to assist the girls in learning and keeping the school regulations. This year the council, composed of Alpha Theta members, was under the leadership of Elsie Lou Green.

To llie Seniors, we leave our delightful unconcern toward the duties of our class. To the Juni ors, a respect for dignity. To the Sophomores, silent charm; and lo the Freshmen, our subtle wit.

Pushing aside several pink elephants, I advanced and retrieved this object'—it was a newspaper dated June 21, 1945. On the front page was a column concerning the exploits of one Mrs. Yehudi Menuhin, nee Cauell Abbott, who is now giving a concert lour with her husband in Siberia. The hcadli nes were at least six inches high: “Or. Jean Broughton Dis­ covers a Whiskered Prolopudgobia — Scientists Slumped by New Menace to the Clover Bee. Looking through the pages I beheld a notice of the latest screen success of Marjorie Francis, co-starring with the aging Tyrone Power in a stirring drama of death on the Panama Canal. On page th ree was a heading which read, "Senator Elizabeth Nichols and Representative Betty Sumner battled over Bill 0472-J." On rea ding further. Bill 0472-J proved to be for the propagation of elastic teeth braces with which patients can fidget, th us eliminating fingernail chewing. In Ripley s now antiquated Believe It or Not was a picture of Professor Frances Haworth who. after working six years in her laboratory near Los Angeles, has patented a device for dyeing rabbits all colors. 1 he Easter egg era is now out of dale.

J : The President has created ill e new office (that is to say, new to our country) ol Poet Laureate, to which the famed Catharine Kern has been officially appointed. She wrote a sonnet in honor of the recent election, entitled "Sunflowers, Blood, and l Bottles. j» This inspiring eulogy of our triumphant parly is a great favorite, especially among school children. Evelyn Manning sails tomorrow for I ,on don, where she will be the master of ceremonies at a dinner at Scott’s Restaurant where all royalty will he present. Miss Manning still holds the title of "Little Miss America. Th ere was a cam lid camera shot of Miss Nancy Slolle marching to her Senior Spanish class, umbrella in one hand and eight volumes lucked neatly under her arm.

Then, as questioning freshmen, we were happy in the opportunity that was to be ours of attending an institution that has stood for so much in the education and development of young women in our Northwest. Diligently we have applied ourselves to the tasks set for us by our Sisters and instructors in charge. Month by month, term by term, and year by year, we have seen ourselves drawn nearer to our goal, but now that it is almost within our grasp, what shall we do with it? "Th e end is but the beginning. On June seven th the members of our class of nineteen hundred and thirty-seven will have reached the end of their high school road. As we march out of our beloved Trinity Church, we shall realize that it is not the end. but rather the crossing of the threshold toward a beginning which promises greater advancement: greater future opportunity. Beloved by all who h ave seen its rugged and snow-capped summit, standing like a sentinel beckoning to those of sturdy limb and stout heart to come out of the level of crowded, whirling industry; leading to greater heights and clearer visions of broad or o pporlunities stands Ml.

"Isn’t it strange, that princes and kings And clowns that caper in sawdust rings And common folk like you and me Arc builders of Eternity? " To each is given a kit of tools. A shapeless mass and a book of rules; And each must build ere life has flown A stumbling block or stepping stone.” Yes. I he end is but the beginning.’ What shall we do with il? Jean Groves, Editor-in-Chicf. ; I EDITORIAL I his year, twenty girls will be leaving St. Helen's Hall and entering a life which, at present, seems full of excitement and promise. During the years which we have spent here, we have accumulated a vast store of knowledge. The Sisters and teachers have not only given us an education of superior quality, but also encouragement and friendship.—two great and marvelous gifts. There are many bonds which we hate to break. Our lives have been so much full cr an d richer since our advent to the Flail. When we allow ourselves to dream for a moment, scores of happy memories come. Yet we hesitate between the past and the future. It would be idyllic to turn back, and remain forever with our friends here: yet the great outside calls us and we must answer. We have an overwhelming debt to pay. We come from an institution of the finest quality, bearing a name which we dare not smirch. Each one of us hopes to attain fame and have the world as "her oyster.” Time and fate may tarnish our aspirations. A few names may be remembered, but the rest will sink into oblivion, Yet. whatever may be our future, we have “our shield, the truth, to cherish," and the example which is set by our Sisters, one of physical fortitude and moral purity, by which to live and conquer.

It was low at first but increased until it was quite loud. Charley fr ozc in his bed. He had heard of ghosts and bad never believed in ih cm, but right now he could have been easily convinced that there were such things. While he sat in bed it gradually died down, but all of a sudden it started again. Charlie dropped below the covers and stayed there for a long while. Slowly he drew himself out and then he felt braver. He felt for his flashlight and snapped it on. He had heard that ghosts, if a ghost it was, were afraid of light. He crept down the stairs, through the kitchen, and was about to turn into the dining room when the howl came again from the basement. Down those stairs he went and sighed with relief when his flashlight revealed his dog. sitting on the floor with his head up and mouth wide open and the family cat, Fabitha, in his doghouse. His dog was v ery glad to see him and more so when Charley put the cat on her own bed and left the doghouse for him.

Il had, at last, reached its downfall, but il still stood majestically in the dusty and cob webbed corner. As it glanced around, it remembered its exciting and, you might well say. lamous life. It recalled that the first time it had seen the world outside of the factory, il was in a little country shop in France. It was really a very attractive little rocking chair then: il had wine-colored leather covering and faintly carved lion heads on the back. It was rather shy but, nevertheless, the owner of the shop displayed il right up in front, to the amazement of all the older chairs; and it remembered the young girl who passed the shop daily. She always looked in longingly and finally bought the little rocking chair. Then il recalled the happy days they spent together, just the three of them: the young girl, the girl s mother, and the rocking chair; and il thought of the day the girl came home to find her mother dead in its restful arms. Then the little chair remembered that there was hustle an d bustle, cleaning, sweeping and packing, and that one day il was wrapped and stuck away in a dark box. It didn t remember much then, but it could tell that it was traveling, and il recalled how dizzy it got one day when il was hoisted high into the air. It could remember rou gh talk, and for about five or six weeks it felt rather up-and-downish. Then it was again hoisted and put on some traveling vehicle which was exceedingly rough and bouncy. One bright and sunshiny day il was again brought out into the world. How happy the little mistress was and how she sang and worked! I hen, one day they had a newcomer: the little chair could remember seeing something like it before. Oh yes! now it remembered; this person was like the chair’s first master. The chair remembered that sometimes the new master would come home at night and instead of rocking and singing he would fall asleep immediately, while the little mistress would sit and knit for hours and hours. I h en, one day. the little chair saw something new, something it had never seen before. It was roly-poly, soft and pink — the chair soon discovered that this was little Janie. As the years rolled by the family increased, and the little chair, which was growing older and a little weak and rickety. was still the pel chair of the home, The home also had grown and was now very elaborate and beautiful. 1 hen, when the little mistress (who was now old) died, the little chair was no longer a favorite. It was pushed and shoved about; and, after many ponderous and lengthy debates, was finally relegated to the attic. There, the little old chair sang a beautiful song that it had heard its mistress sing and slowly and gently rocked itself to sleep. Wilma Roesch. 39. ROMANCE AT HER FINGERTIPS . ' !i:i ! DELPHIC i The eager young girl gently gathered her gingh am skirts about her as she mounted the musty attic stair. Dust descended upon her as she pushed open the door; and as she walked stealthily across the floor, cobwebs brushed her arm. She reached a curiously carved oak chest and laboriously lifted the lid — revealing relics of romantic yester-years. She lovingly lifted the dainty d resses and held them up admiringly to her shoulders. Her eyes sparkled as she slipped off her simple dress and slithered into a shimmering satin gown. Its silky soft ness enve loped her slender body and fell deliciously cool and smooth. I he folds of the skirt reached the floor and the heavy train slowed her step as she softly hummed to the solemn tempo of the Wedding March. She loved the swish of it about her ankles and she thrilled to the smoothness under her fingers. She fondly lifted the long filmy veil and put the wreath of stars about her soft hair. Il floated about her like a cloud and settled at her heels. She began walking down the stairs and the heavy fringe of lace gently tugged at her head *— holding il high.

He made the startling statement that he had bought a third-hand car for the princely sum o f eighty-five dollars. However, he said, the man had told him that the engine was in good order and the tires practically new. When the machine arrived the nex I day, it turned out to be a 1924 model Essex, as square as a cracker box. We took one ride in it and promptly dubbed it. The Galloping Goose.” The name was quite appropriate as the Goose, on starting, completely left the earth and then settled down to moving, first with a lurch forward an d then with a waddle sidewise. The noise that issued forth from under its rusty hood sounded like a flock of wild ducks at close range. But don t think that this masterpiece was spurned by our family because of its deficiencies — rather we took to it as we would have to a stray pup or kitten. And from that day on the Galloping Goose was firmly established in our family. How we got it down to the beach I can neither remember nor imagine; but, somehow, il safely reached its destination. Mother decided it needed paint; and when she found a nice conservative tan in the the basement she started ambitiously to sandpaper and paint the ancient vehicle. By the time she had finished the body, the paint was all gone and the only color left was some Chinese Red which had been used to paint the breakfast nook. Hie spokes and the trimmings; were decked out in this very festive color and the "Galloping Goose was ready for use. It held up really quite we II all that first summer . sometimes making as much as twenty miles an hour, on the level. 1 he only tragedy that took place that summer occurred on the way to the regatta in Astoria. "The Goose” is a respectable five-passenger car but on that mem orable day we had loaded in ten. This was loo much for it; the battery fell out of the bottom. 1 he second summer the Goose was un able to make the hills between Cannon Beach and Seaside. 11 would slop on the slope, puff, gasp, and give out; one just sal until il got its strength again and cooled down enough to make the top. The third summer we didn’t even attempt to make a gradual ascent and, in order to shift, one had to kick the gears with all the strength one could put into the blow. I he only thing that had any real power left was the horn 1 I hen it slowly dawned on us that “the Goose was aging. For the last few summers it has rested in the garage, only being taken out for a jaunt to the grocery store once in a great while. My brother still linkers with the motor and the whole family lives in the hope that some day the “Galloping Goose” may make a grand and glorious come-back.

Above a shining lake, the tendrils of mist eddied and curled fantastically like a slow whirl­ pool of moonlit grey. The shaggy islands crouched gloomily in the black water, with morose shoulders hunched high in the star-peppered sky. One broad road of moon­ light streamed down, and billowed with the waves. Far to the south, a shore was designated by the occasional glow of ruddy patches ^ distant beach fires leaping and retreating in the cold, velvety shadows. A lone, yellow point of light warned passersby of the wickedly obscure reefs. Its fellow tossed fitfully on the masthead of an invisible ship, in a waste of darkness; borne onward through the phosphorescent surf.

He also fell that he knew just what to do upon every occasion. On this certain occasion that happened to be al the beach he had explored all the nearby territory and suc­ ceeded in getting sand up his nose, to say nothing of in his eyes. All this was very new and exciting for him; and he wasn’t satisfied, until he had become thoroughly drenched by a cold ocean wave, to settle down to normal living. Soon he learned not to sniff at the sand and to slay a respectable distance from the surf. Nothing pleased him more than to lie on the hot, dry sand and let the sun bake down on his back; but he never could lie still long enough really to enjoy it. Along in the afternoon. Magregor disappeared for nearly an hour and when he returned it was under the heavy burden ol nearly ten feel of kelp which he had proudly dragged for a great distance. Because it did not move or show any signs of life, he naturally thought it was dead and the only respectable thing to do was to bury it. He buried the large end first and continued on down the whole length of it until the kelp had disappeared Irom sight. After this feat he was proud but tired, and lay down to rest lor a while. Soon he became curious to sec how the kelp was getting along and so he dug it all up again. After he had dug it up and buried it some three times, he pulled it off to one side and started to chew it. but it had an extremely disagreeable taste and he abandoned it to chase seagulls. Magregor never seemed quite the same after that beach trip, and I am sure that he has had many a longing to struggle with another piece of kelp.

Scarcely tall enough to reach her hand in which he placed the money, he babbled in his high, shrill voice how he had found it in the street “just as the lights were changing.” He knew exactly what he wanted and he pointed proudly to the gleaming gold chains from which dangled fi ve new pennies. She watched him as he disappeared in the crowd and saw him reappear at the door. Outside a soft snow sifted through the air and the red Santa whose bell had rung heedlessly on as the crowd surged by shivered as he gazed into his almost empty kettle. The little boy standing beside him labored industriously as he pulled the pennies one by one from the flimsy chain. When five bright objects lay in his palm, he pushed his way to the Santa and dropped the pennies one by one into the kettle. With each clink the Santa smiled. When the last penny had fallen the boy. rubbing his little hands, trolled merrily on — he had given his contribution. I : ! ! I Betty' Sumner, ’57.

I lazily let my hand fall into the water, so cool and refreshing, and the peacefulness that I felt is indescribable. •Just as my happiness seemed quite complete, the music swelled maddeningly, until it burst forth with a thundering crash that made my ears ring and my heart pound. The sky became dark with menacing clouds and the trees shook violently. I he little pool boiled turbulently as I quickly withdrew my hand, which had grown cold and clammy. Seized with fear. I jumped to my feet and started to run. Faster and faster I ran; louder and louder grew the musical din until a terrible feeling of fear and apprehension took hold of me as I sank to the ground, unable to continue my helpless flight. The music roared victoriously at my bitter plight, when sud­ denly — silence— my window — my bed.

Year after year — generations past, present and future, the old clock licked away moments: some forgotten, some remembered, some scorned and some cherished by the generations of inhabitants of the great brick mansion. Moments *— none forgotten by the old clock before whose face passes the cavalcade of lime. The old clock stands at the fool of the massive oak staircase. It is tall and has the stalely pride that the family possesses. The clock, although it can not speak is. without doubt, the most frequently consulted member of the family and it is brimful of the knowledge of generations. Before its polished face passes the continuous story of the family. If one should ever slop to consult the clock upon any happening in the past family history, he would receive a detailed account, even to the color of the lace petticoat that unintentionally peeped out from under the dancing frock of a guest or to the kind of cake and brand of wine served at a certain ball fifty years previous. The clock treasured many secrets, also. No one w i ever know how Miss Jane cried the night her brother and Ronald left for the "YVar Between the Slates. No one will ever guess that Vicki once hid a skunk in the clock because he had found it outside, chilled, and Vicki had a passion for offering the warmth of the house to any less fortunate creature.

Tears of sorrow at the deaths that dark one cl the days: tears of acute pain when Arnold had been thrown from his favorite marc: tears of injured pride and. perhaps, something else when Margy had been turned over father s knee after the dining-room draperies had mysteriously been cut into grotesque designs: tears of happiness when Bess returned; when Martha descended the stairs all in white satin and tulle, looking so lovely that a lump uncontrollably rose in one s throat. Gaiety, too, had had a generous place . The colorful annual hunt-balls, when lovely ladies from behind open fans, coyly lowered their lashes at handsome men in hunting attire. When laughter rang through the great halls and father, on hot summer days, contentedly sipped mint juleps with his friends. The clock know’s all the stories that play their part in the tableaux of generations. No secrets arc hidden from its sleepless eyes. It is, after all, a good thing that clocks can’t talk, for all tales are safe within the shiny mahogany casing that tells of and sees the passing of time.

She danced in it once for her young daughter. With heels clicking in an airy rhythm, like fairy castanets, she pirouetted about the dark room — to the awed delight of her single spectator. There was a loose board by the door, which gave an involuntary groan under her light steps, squeaked out a surly apology and yawned back into its former position. Her dancing transported one to the autumn woods, where the bracken hums in a crackling voice to the wind s song: and the warm rain taps merrily down the broad leaves, pattering out an un­ heard tune . . . But the dance ended loo soon, and she slipped through the waiting door, her skirts whispering little bursts of melody to her — and tip-toed down the empty hall, out of her daughter’s heaven.

Will) ur s showed a very favorable report as usual, but Jerry s was decked with C’s and D’s. Gee. said YVilbur. "what II your mother do when she sees that report card. Oh. she II probably just give me another spankin replied Jerry, importantly. Does it hurt awful? asked Wilbur, I ve never had one. That s why you re such a sissy, said Jerry. If ya wanna be a man you gotta be spanked. It don t hurt much if you’re prepared, but. boy. if ya ain’t — ! ’ Are you prepared today? asked Wilbur. Sure, replied Jerry. I won l even feel it. YVhat do you do to gel spankings?’’ asked YVilbur. "Oh, most anything bad. report cards, throwin rocks. Ivin . but swearin mostly.’ Jerry replied. They had arrived at the wall which led to Jerry’s house. ’“ By, Sissy,’’ said Jerry. YVilbur walked slowly down the street towards his own home. Everyone railed him sissy because he had never been spanked. YVilbur decided definitely, that he wanted to be spanked. He decided he would try swearing. That ought to do it. he thought to himself. I hat evening at the dinner table his big chance came, “Eat your potatoes, dear. said Mrs. Johnson, Wilbur’s mother. YVilbur abruptly answe red ‘‘No! I don t want to cal ’em.” Surprised, his mother said. "But, YVilbur dear, you must eat them so that you will grow up strong like your father. YVilbur replied. Oh! dam! dam! "Will jur. shrieked his mother: Mr. Johnson gasped. Oh. my dear little boy, you must be ill. Call the doctor quickly, Ronald, cried Mrs. Johnson in one breath. I horoughly disgusted, YVilbur was rushed off to bed with a hot water bottle and a dose ol distasteful medicine. YVilbur lay awake in his bed half the night, pondering over his difficult problem. Finally a plan entered his head. If his father refused to give him a spanking he d pretend he had. He wouldn’t be called a sissy any more. ill. and remained in bed I he next day YVilbur pretended that he was dreadfully > for the three following days. YVhen he again went to school he was greeted with — YVcII, sissy, did you eat something that was too strong for you?” or “Couldn t you take it. sissy? YVilbur had a surprising answer for them. "My Dad spanked me so hard that I had to go to bed to get over it.” he said. The boys were astonished. All through school there was a buzz about YVilbur Johnson’s terrific spanking: Wilbur became exceedingly popular After school several little boys fought to see who would be the honored one to walk home with YVilbur. Jerry won. Jerry had never a sked YVilbur to stop at his house before, but this afternoon he insisted upon it and YVilbur told Jerry’s Irish mother the tale of his spanking. Mrs. Ryan was terrified. She immediately went to tell her next-door neighbor, “S ure, n I’ll not be letting such things be a goin’ on in this town while I can help it.” she said to h er neighbor. “Whippin’ such a nice little boy like that. People that h ave a lot of money think they can be a gettin’ away with murder. NIethinks the police ought to be a bearin’ about this. Mrs. Ryan and her friend went to the police and told Wilbur's story. YVhen the policeman reached Wilbur’s house, Mr. Johnson had just returned home from work. Fie did not know what the policeman meant when he began ques­ tioning him about beating his son. Mr. Johnson immediately called YVilbur, who had returned from Jerry’s house earlier in the afternoon. “YVilbur. did I whip you?’’ asked his father. Yes, answered YVilbur. Mr. Johnson and YVilbur were taken to headquarters for further questioning. “For the tenth time, YVilbur. did I whip you?’’ shouted Mr. Johnson. Wilbur’s answer was still "Yes." Mr. Johnson was asked to pay a twenty-five-dollar fine. Page Forly-one i | ' ! i �? * ; ! t ! I . ! ' 1 i There were few words between Mr. Johnson and Wilbur as they relumed home. When ihey entered ihe house Mrs. Johnson met them in the hall, where Mr. Job nson blurted oul furiously. Marion, you have had charge of ihis child long enough. Why he told this atrocious lie. I don’t know, but I do know that he is going to have the kind of punishment I used to get for such things. A good old-fashioned spanking. Wilbur marched triumphantly up to his father’s room. He was going to gel a spanking but it wasn t going to hurt, because he was prepared. Mr. Johnson began to give Wilbur a severe spanking with his hair brush. Wil­ bur was taking it like a man! Not a tear did he shed! After a slight investigation Mr. Johnson found the true cause of Wilbur’s bravery. Wilbur had stuffed a small pillow into the seat of his little breeches. Having made this discovery Mr. Johnson was overcome with amusement. How well he remembered having done the same thing when he had been a boy. However, the fact still remained that Wilbur had told a disgraceful lie. Considerable reasoning between father and son resulted in Wilbur s true confession. Well, everybody said I was a sissy cause I d never been spanked. Mr. Johnson promised, "You’ll have every spanking you deserve from now on, my boy. To be a man you have to be spanked. Right?” "Right, echoed Wilbur.

Already, he could see the small shining tools used by dentists to torture their victims. Too soon he was carried sky-ward in the familiar little cage which stopped with quick jerks, sending shivers down Mr. Jackinlhorpc s spine. Perhaps the dentist would be on a vacation or out to lunch. Why hadn l he taken the time to make an appointment? As he opened the door of the office. Mr. Jackinlhorpc s last hope fled. The room resembled a six o’clock street car. J he two chintz-covered chairs were filled to the brim with two stout and elderly matrons, busily engaged in reading magazines. 1 he chintz-covered couch had been temporarily transformed into an airport, where two small boys diligently kept up an incessant din to accompany their toy airplanes of tin. Their mother, a forbidding creature with smudges of rouge riding her cheek bones, glared at Mr. Jackinlhorpc as he approached the couch. A young girl leaned against the radiator. lost in a current movie magazine. Mr. Jackinthorpe wondered where the nurse was and walked across thc room to the window. After three minutes of staring into infinity and rain, he shifted his we ighl to the left foot and scowled in the general direction of the couch. Why weren l there more chairs? Five minutes later he leaned against the wall and the floor beneath him moved as the microscopic rug slipped forward. Grabbing the radiator. Mr. Jackinto the tho.rpe saved himself from making a complete forced landing. Roaming over L_ window again, he busied himself by watching two raindrops scooting down the pane. "If the fatter one reaches the bottom first, the dentist won l pull that tooth, said Mr. Jackinthorpe. The drop perversely stopped to visit with a fly which buzzed up and down. Mr. Jackinthorpe groaned, and at this moment the door to the inner den opened and a nurse stepped toward him. It was not Miss Flicks, his dentist’s nurse. No. Miss Hicks had never been so young as this girl. “Did you want to make an appointment for a psychological examination? she smiled at him. Mr. Jackinthorpe gulped and backed oul of the door, stammering excuses, 1 here was no point in telling her that he was in the wrong office. He felt dejected after standing so long. The dentist could wait. As he walked down the street he saw a line of people nearly a block long, standing before a theater. Mr. Jackinthorpe mechanically fell in with them. Betty Sumner, ’57.

It has a arge floor and is very convenicnl during the cold weather when we are unable to play outside. It occupies the second floor of the building which used to be Miss Gabel s. School. I he Hall purchased it last year and converted it into the Lower Schoo building. Another attraction in the field of sport is the new tennis court. It is on the grounds of the newly acquired building and is conveniently placed so that the sun does not shine directly on it. It is larger and more level than the old court and has a higher fence surrounding it. Athletics have always played an important part in the lives of the girls at St. Helen’s Hall and we arc all extremely grateful for this new gymnasium and tennis court. QUILL AND INK This year marked the second and third-term history of Quill and Ink, the Literary society ol St. Helen s Hall. It was originally organized February, 1956. under the leadership of five girls: Victoria Hartwell, president: Jeanne Miller, vice-president; Jane 1 aubman. treasurer: Molly McGuire, secretary; and Mary Justine Gilbert, sergeant-at-arms. The head of the English department, who automatically becomes the faculty adviser, is. at present. Mrs. Marguerite DuIIey. I his society was formed for the purpose of encouraging, in the school, ability and sincere interest in the Fine Arts. 1 he bi-annual activities consist of a dinner at the University Club, held the first Wednesday in each term, followed by a meeting to welcome formally, as pledges, those girls in the high school who have given proof of their literary ability, and a contest for the best literary composition judged for its originality of theme, style and skill in presentation. The award for the contest is a perpetual trophy with the winner s name inscribed thereon and is awarded by the Queen of the May Fete, held each May at St. Helen's Flail. Ankcy Larrabce was the first winner of the trophy for her essay entitled, "On Having a Friend. May. 1956. the first Silver Tea was held at the home of Mary Justine Gilbert. This was an exceedingly beautiful event with the Gilbert gardens for its setting and was most successful. Last winter. Quill and Ink presented Ruby-Page Euwer in two miniature plays at their second Silver Tea, held in the school auditorium. Mrs. Euwer s interpreta­ tion of the plays was one of inspiring beauty and was greatly appreciated by the girls of the society. The first Quill and Ink initiation was held at the beach house of Victoria Hart­ well at Neah-Kah-Nie, Oregon. Miss Deborah Smith was an exceedingly adequate chaperon and added much to the success of the trip. Four girls were initiated: Betty Jo Shown. Martha Ditto. Robin Nelson and Lisa Gill. December. 1957, Jean Maguire. Mary Louise Vincent. Jean Shorts and Billie Wade were lormally taken into the society at an initiation held at the home of Robin Nelson in Portland. May 8. 1957, Robin Nelson was again the hostess at a Quill and Ink initiation at her mountain home. Anne Alton, Alice Gregory. M’Liss Locding. Margaret I hurtell. and Palsy Tracy are now members. With the forest as a background, a rousing good time was had by all after the informal initiation. Mrs. DuIIey and Miss Gene Way were sporting chaperons. The officers for 1956-57 are as follows: Jeanne Miller, president: Robin Nelson, vice-president: Betty Jo Shown, treasurer and Martha Ditto, secretary. Page Forly-five ; I !

' ;! ;i Instead of classes playing against one another, as last year, the teams were composed of members of the various classes an d therefore were more evenly ma tched. There was a great controversy as to whether we should play inlerscholaslic volley ball or basketball. Several speeches were made, some advocating basketball, others volley ball, after which a vote was taken and it was decided that we should retain our interscholastic basketball as in former years.

I THE MAY FESTIVAL 1 lie Si. I lelen’s Hall May Ficsla, held on May 12. was a very beautiful affair litis year, although obliged lo be indoors because of the uncertainty of the weather. The auditorium was decorated lo resemble a hacienda of Early California and everything had a Spanish or Mexican touch. The first event was the crowning of the Queen by Betty Jo Shown, master of ceremonies. I he Q ueen, supposedly English, was visiting at the hacienda with her princesses. I he servants of the rancho gave Mexican dances in her honor and mem­ bers of the household performed the Spanish numbers. Everything was very gay as they danced in their colorful costumes lo the clinking of castanets. It made one feel as if one were really in California in the days of the great Spanish fiestas, the gaiety and fun going on all around serving to make the illusion more complete. Then, as a filling climax lo the Festival, there was a real Spanish May Pole dance. 1 his beautiful fiesta was followed by the New Girls’ party lo the Old Girls. I he New Girls presented all the entertainment and thus ended an exciting and most enjoyable day.

New Girl Parly” given on Ocloher 1st by the old girls for the purpose of initiating ail new members of the Student Body. Costumes of all shapes, sizes and colors were >exhibited in the Grand March. after which the teachers, who acted as judges, announced the winners. After two hours of hilarious laughter at the peculiar incidents which occurred during the initiation, refreshments were enjoyed by both new an d old members of the Student Body of 1936-37. DANCES Of the numerous activities during the busy scholastic year, two which will be long remembered were the Student Body dances. At the first dance in October the hall was transformed into a barn, with handsome farmers swinging their farmerettes in and out among the haystacks and pitch forks to the music of Johnny Callahan and His Harvesters. On May 1st, to the soft strains of the orchestra, graceful couples swayed to and fro under the quiet lights of the Spring Formal. DRAMA On several occasions the Dramatic Art Class, under the capable direction of Ruby-Page Euwer, offered its bit to the entertainment and amusement of its audiences. WINTER SPORTS From October to March, Ml. Hood. Oregon’s winter playground, was deemed the most popular spot for week-end vacationists. Down the snowy-while Timberline Trail many Flail girls, at various times, attempted to learn the difficult art of skiing, while others took the most dangerous curves with ease and agility. Page Fifly-nine i �IF i ! !!i- i i!! ; j it ! I If : •\ =DELPHIC i ;L ! STUDENT BODY ASSEMBLIES r Throughout the year we were especially fortunate in having interesting programs and speakers fo r our Student Body entertainments. Some of these were : Or. Perry Hopper, who spoke on his travels in Europe; the illustrated talk on I he Olympic Games, given by Robert Krohn; Miss Gibson from Ung ars . whose topic was Choosing a Wardrobe." and the Christmas program at which Bishop Dagwell spoke to us about the "Christmas Spirit,” and the College Chorus completed the program with carols. I }: 1 One of the nicest assemblies, however, was the concert given by Miss Mildred Roberts, a young violinist. It was especially enjoyable because Miss Roberts grad­ uated from the Hall in the Class of 1929. i j SYMPHONY AND OPERA The Ellison White Bureau this year, as usual, offered great attractions for the music lovers. The artists who. without doubt. were the most popular in this concert series were: Fritz Kreisler, Nelson Eddy and Richard Crooks. Other interesting pro­ grams of the year were: the concert given by Serge Rachmaninoff; Gregor Piatigorsky, world-famous cellist, and Poldi Mildner. youthful pianist, both soloists with the Portland Symphony, and the two lovely ballets, Joose European Ballet and the Ballet Russe. The Sunday matinee concerts, given by the Portland Symphony, were well attended this year and the music varied from the lighter compositions of Strauss to the heavy but beautiful Beethoven Symphonies. Before closing this paragraph we should like to mention the Junior Symphony concerts which were quite outstanding in quality for such youthful musicians. The Opera Week in March again brought the San Carlo Opera Company to Portland and once more we were able to hear the famous arias from Carmen. Madam Butterfly, and others. : t ■ $ MUSIC CLUB 'H In November of this year a music club was organized under the direction of Wallace Graham. Jr., the members consisted of Mr. Graham s students and others who were interested in music. This organization, named the Triad Club, is one w hich will grow, and in the future years will be of importance to all student-musicians of ! h the Hall. }• Pugc Sixty j,1' : ! it -V i t i! i'ilS .

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.

Almighty God, in Whose sight the death of Thy saints is most precious, we heartily thank Thee for the useful and consecrated life of Thy servant. Sister Katharine Angela, whom Thou hast called hence to be with Thee. We heartily thank Thee for her constant and unselfish thought of others, for her helpfulness, her uniform kindness and her ever-present courtesy to all. Especially we thank Thee for the vocation in which she was trained in the care of the sick and broken bodies, and for the sympathetic employment of its blessings. We thank Thee for the gift of music whose happy expression she gladly passed on to others and with v/hich she constantly, reverently and inspiringly filled Thy Temple; For the skill in art and handicraft v/ith v/hich she made and fashioned and beautified otherwise common things, giving them a new material and spiritual glory both in and out of Thy Church; For her understanding, helpful and constructive daily guidance, advice, and counsel to precious childhood, leaving them better for their contact with her rare wisdom and kindness; For her Christian fortitude and indomitable courage; For her radiant spirit of joyfulness which she universally imparted to others, brightening lives and transforming clouds into bursts of sunshine. More especially we thank Thee for calling her to the Religious Life where, with unstinted zeal even io the last moment, she devoted herself entirely to the Christian Life and to the service to which she was set apart in her sacred voca­ tion dedicated to Thee. We beseech Thee io grant her abundant entrance into Thy Heavenly King­ dom and an immortal crown, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. �i f In Memoriam A guiding spirit through twenty years of service to St. Helen's Hall, Bishop Sumner was a great influence on the lives of the Hall girls. He was a shepherd; we followed where he led. Our love and praises follow him, living on forever. �' ‘ In Dedication We, the graduating class, wish to dedicate this page as an appreciation of our new Bishop, Bishop Dagwell. He, in a measure, like us, is starting a new path, a broader life. As we start our lives in other places, may we always be of his flock, faithful and devoted to St. Helen's Hall. �* Officers and Instructors Rector THE RIGHT REVEREND BENJAMIN DUNLAP DAGWELL, THE BISHOP OF OREGON Chaplain THE REVEREND RICHARD F.

We of St. Helen's Hall are fortunate in possessing such an organization. By this representative form of government the girls learn the problems facing them as future citizens of our country. At the same time the school authorities can be relieved of numerous petty corrections of school dress and minor rules of con­ duct. Naturally the serious actions are supervised by older and wiser heads, yet the members of the body learn to judge the course of action needed. This year the members of the Council were chosen from the various classes in high school Alice Freeze was president and Marion Condon was vicepresident. We feel that the Council has been of aid to the school and hope that it may continue to be a help to the authorities and an efficient organization. ; 1 ! ! �CDeLphic Page Nine . ■ ■: l •« A BARBARA JONES PHYLLIS NATWICK IEAN GROVES MARION CONDON i The Student Body The Siudent Body was organized three years ago and has been very suc­ cessful. This year we had many more activities socially and governmentally than in the previous two years. We made and voted upon a new, more complete constitution Included in this are various progressive measures such as a gov­ erning cabinet consisting of two faculty members and the officers. Two dances held a great deal of attention each term. During Christmas vacation at the annual party for poor children the girls had a great deal of fun preparing the gifts and arranging for the Christmas atmosphere of the party. Truly the Student Body is responsible for much of the school spirit, botn at sport activities and social affairs The president for the first term was Barbara Jones; Marion Condon held the gavel the second term. The Halltonian Again the Student Body sponsored a school paper. Under a new title, “The Halltonian, 1 the paper became larger and better throughout the year. All the staff worked very hard to produce a bi-monthly edition the first term under a senior editor, Phyllis Natwick. In the spring term, the seniors turned the mana­ gerial positions over to their junior assistants, giving themselves more time for Delphic work. During this term the girls published a larger monthly edition with Jean Groves as the editor. Everyone has cooperated with the hard-working staff who typed, mimeographed, and cleaned up, making a very successful paper. f �CDetphic Page Ten The Delphic Staff Editor-m-Chief Literary Editor Assistant Literary Editor Calendar Old Girl Notes Athletics Music and Entertainment Exchanges Humor Art Editor Business Manager Assistant Business Manager Advertising Manager Assistant Advertising Manager Advertising Staff Alice Freeze Peggy Lou Smith Frances Haworth Louise Good Betty Lou Roberts Phyllis Natwick \ Frances Paris (Cathryn Collins Barbara Minahan Carolyn Kamm Georgia Litilepage Barbara Jones Charlotte Lee Ruth Richardson Dorothy Wells Marion Condon Dorothy Dixon Nanette Moore Georgia Littlepage Betiy Lou Roberts Elinor Bakke I �• ' - .v 4-VfAA > \t-.V V . f. r- * ' . f _ :-.: - • j-: ••■' - -■■■ - - r -- ■ :. «.» .-,«*■•* - .3 .-A-A- aw ^ . . ,...s- v - • >’ - r.

Through the unending efforts of the various Sisters, St. Helen's Hall has grown larger and better, ever increasing the founder's dreams of an outstanding girls' school in the West, true to its motto: "That thy daughters may be as the polished cornerstones of the temple.'' In the new sites, new buildings, new organizations, one sees the power, the force, God has given these believing helpers of His. Their means were limited, the drawbacks to advancement were innumerable. No silver spoon brought easy success, yet they achieved. Just this year two more buildings were purchased across the street to enlarge space through an Annex. Little by little, year after year, St. Helen's Hall has increased from the pioneer school. As time moves forward, St Helen's Hall will continue to grow and grow, a worthy answer to the dream. From our whole hearts, we the graduating class this year with the alumnae, wish to, nay must, express in words the love and reverence we feel for you who have given us an education of book-learning, sportsmanship, independ­ ence, society, and worship. As we start our Commencement, may we go with this hope in our hearts, "That thy daughters may be as the polished corner­ stones of the temple.'' May we be an asset worthy of you and our school forever. You have given us ihe courage for turning back defeat, making it glorious victory. We owe you an unpayable debt of appreciation. Editor-In-Chief. Editorial We, the seniors of St. Helen's Hall, begin to realize what our school has meant to us. As we look back upon that day, so long ago it seems, when we, very small and impressionable children, took our places in the lower school to have our little blue veils tied on for that first morning in chapel, we know that it was the peace, the dignity, and through all the pure joy that made our hearts swell almost to bursting with the happiness of it all, and we know, too, that it was then that seeds of courtesy, of fairness, of loyalty, of reverence, and love for all were planted in our wee small beings. This foundation made it easy for us to step from one advancing class into the next, and always, for those whose hearts and souls and minds were open to ihe influence, there was inspiration and a challenge to the higher things of life. We have grown joyously, normally, splendidly, during our four years of high school life, and now a wondrous portal is slowly opening before us over which is written the solemn and dignified words: "The School of Life." A sudden aching tightness is around our hearts as we look backward over the familiar, happy years which we have allowed to slip almost carelessly away and for- �CDelpkic Page Twenty-two ward into the strange, unknown future. And yet we must consider this: just as the Lower School prepared us to take up with confidence the more difficult tasks of the Upper School, so our four years of High School have strengthened and developed us so that we might go forth bravely and with joyous courage to meet Life. As seniors our hearts are warm with love and appreciation for the Sisters of Saint John Baptist, who through long years have labored intelligently, pa­ tiently, and persistently that we might have a school with high ideals and high scholarship. Now we feel only instinctively what St. Helen's Hall means to us; but in the years to come when we meet life's problems one after another and find our­ selves solving them calmly, sanely, and fairly we will realize how surely our school training has shaped our lives. Literary Editor. Spain , ■ i : . I i A land of dramatic contrasts with rich setting! It is as if we had entered another world. What is this romantic strain impregnating the air with its mys­ terious and beckoning refrain? It seems to sing of the centuries past As we stand on the street corner, we see these centuries go by. Drifting along with them are the ghosts of the past and of the present, mingled, curious and alluring. There seems to radiate from the buildings and the artistry of the surround­ ings a restful mellowness, and then with the distant click of castanets and the swaying rhythm of the Spanish dance, we feel a surge of life come through the air, increasing under a certain strange suppression. As the music finally bursts its bounds and reaches a height of ecstasy and gayety, we feel the true spirit of Spain. The Spanish senorita flashing and proud in her richly embroi­ dered brocades, brilliant spangles, a gilded shellcomb and rose in her black hair, whirls by, gloriously beautiful and surging with life. Carmen for centuries has danced her way through the streets and open air pavilions. She is the true gypsy, a Spanish gypsy, unlike any of the others in the world. These wandering folk have not changed as times have changed. They are picturesque and aloof from all others. Their lives are emotional, their spirits wild, untamed. On passing away from the dancing, we wander down a winding street paved in cobblestones. The soft clappity-clapp sound of the burro's unshod hoofs comes out of the distance, grows louder, and then the beast, passing us, goes slowly on its way carrying two heavy baskets on its sides. Dumb oxen pass pulling their heavy carts behind them. The babel of many voices rises and falls like the changing of the wind, as people busily make their way through the street. �C(l-he CDelphic Page Twenty-three Everywhere there are fountains and pools made of colored tile. Their clear waters seem to tell the old story of Spain, its romance, its fame, its glorious past Reflected in them is the inspiring cathedral which rises, firm and protec­ tive, but with grace and beauty unexcelled. Wonderful is the delicate, manycolored maze of intricate carving. The stones seem more like a lacy film than solid rocks which have stood through centuries. Then, as we admire its beauty, the cathedral's deep-toned bells peal forth their rich sonorous chime even as they have pealed in the countless years before. Their voices, too, seem to speak of the past of Spain. We clamber along a rocky path in steep ascent, and finally reach the top of a hill on which a great castle firmly stands. Its frown of austere dignity seems to throw long shadows over the little town which nestles sleepily below. The afternoon sun, warm and bright, is shining from a cloudless sky on the quaint, sunbaked houses with their spotless, whitewashed walls, red tiled roofs, bal­ conies, and green vines. As the sun moves ever lower, long blue shadows creep across the terraced garden of the castle. The time of evening has come when silence and serenity are golden. The little breezes, rustling through leaves, seem to whisper so meaningly of the past of Spain and accompanying deeds, in­ triguing and bold, that we no longer live in the present, but again feel the mystery and deepness of the ages which make a background smooth and finished We gaze far away where the valleys, dotted with little farms, roll gently into sloping wooded hillsides. In ihe distance, we see the spires of the cathedral pierce the sky of delicate blue, and almost float as if without support in the golden beams of the fast setting sun. In the distance we see a white balcony almost hidden among the climbing roses. But the most beautiful rose of all is the one on the balcony, leaning grace­ fully over the balustrade. Below we see a wide-brimmed hat, tipped back as if its wearer were looking upwards. On drawing closer we see a Spaniard of dark complexion with flashing eyes, strumming his guitar and singing a simple, expressive song to his lady love. Here is the Spain of which we have dreamed, romantic and overflowing with the catching rhythm of castanets and the wistful strains of the senor's guitar as he sings his ardent song to his senorita. As we look over the village roofs, we see the last rays of the golden sun flooding the valley. Far away rise the lofty peaks of the distant mountains, blue with haze. Below us lies Spain stretching out over a vast plateau. On the streets we again see the dancers whirling and bending. We are enthralled by the picture before us, for though the centuries have mellowed the atmosphere, a certain untamed wildness still predominates. This is romantic, "sunny" Spain, gay and melancholy, progressive and ancient, never dull; moody, yes, but always beautiful. As we stand drinking in these enchanting moods, a strange melody drifts up softly from the streets. The exotic song floats away into endless space, leaving a lasting memory of the unforgotten glories of Spain's past. Mary Justine Gilbert, '38. �' i CDetpkic :■ Page Twenty-four ! i 1 ! A Fantasy Think of struggling for hours up the side of a sheer, steep cliff, only to reach the top and— But it is better to begin at the beginning. It was night when this idea of climbing the steepest cliff, or perhaps it was a mountain, in the world came upon me. Just what provoked the idea I do not know, but at the time it seemed an excellent one. At any rate it was irresistible, and so I began my ascent. It was a snow-clad giant, that mountain. Its summit shone with an unearthly light, and I was alone, attempting to climb the highest pinnacle in the world, at night, and all I had to eat was a huge chocolate bar. It was not any enviable position to be in, yet to turn back seemed impossible. And so it began. It took hours even to attain a foot of ground because, strangely enough, it was much easier to slide backwards than to climb forward. I was forever munching on the chocolate bar, which, like the night, seemed to have no end. Finally, it must have been days, but dawn had not yet come, I reached that fascinating peak that shone so luridly in the moonlight, and immediately pro­ ceeded to fall off into space. It was maddening. Had I climbed all this way only to be defeated in the end? Furthermore, it was no fun to feel oneself rolling and turning in empty space. I decided that my end had at last arrived. At least I should die eating a chocolate bar, which was some consolation, for I felt sure I'd have some left to eat in eternity. I was nearing the end of my worldly journey now and I was feeling more than one queer sensation inside of me. I saw the ground beneath me rise up. A strange ringing noise pierced my ears, and I knew that the end had comi ■of a bad dream. I opened my eyes and looked out on the dawn. That was satisfying; at least I was not dead. The ringing continued. The rising bell) It came on me all of a sudden that this was another school day—the first school day after exams. I am not sure which was the lesser of the two evils that befell me on that morning. Was going to school better than falling off the highest peak in the world? I'm sure I don't know. They both seemed to be bad ideas. Iean Shorts, '38. �• :J CDelpklc Page Twenty-five Miss Hepzibah Old wine is mellowed and rendered almost priceless by the passing years; old fruit cake has a flavor all its own; old lace cause "ohs" and "ahs" of appre­ ciation; but old women shrivel and become less and less beloved as time goes on. This is especially true of poor old women who have no chauffeurs, butlers, velvet cushions, or large bank accounts to help them along. Just such a one was Miss Hepzibah Pyncheon. She was a withered leaf of a lady who lived, as nearly as she could in her reduced circumstances, according to the proprieties of sixty years past. Alone she drifted through the gloomy halls of he: house trying to disguise her poverty and her other sorrows with her faded gentility. She was not even pretty but, on the other hand, angular and ugly wi t’n a scowl on her wrinkled face which terrified the few people who saw her and made them think her cross and hard-hearted. She was really extremely kind and it hurt her when she saw through her myopic eyes men and women whispering about her. Her whole soul was wrapped up in love for her imprisoned brother, Clifford. Frequently during each monotonous day, she labored up the creaking stairs of her home to embrace his miniature and to sob to herself that he was much too sweet and good a man to be a murderer. This miniature was her one joy and comfort. When she gazed at the delicate face pictured in it, her thoughts fled from her sad, empty life, the curse that was on her dwelling, and the cruelty of her affluent cousin and revelled in the far-away days when she and Clifford had played together among the luxuriant blossoms of the Pyncheon garden. *l •i Victoria Hartwell, '38. \ ! Spring Each spring in Spain The lovelorn swain May strum his sweet guitar, But spring to me Means agony As I nurse the old catarrh.

Not even the matted tangle of trees and vines is outlined against the dull sky Silence reigns, a heavy silence that fills every nook and cranny of the jungle. But now the tomb-like silence is shattered by the roar of a ferocious beast as he makes the kill or the death shriek of the weaker and defenseless animal. Not a breath of air stirs until it seems as though the air itself will become as stagnant as a jungle pool, covered with green slime and reeking of decay. But now over a bank of ominous black clouds which hangs above the rolling eastern hills rises the moon, not the golden moon of our world but the paiewhite ghastly moon of the jungle. With her comes a gentle breeze that blows through the jungle treetops and playfully tosses billowy black clouds before her ghastly brilliance. Once more silence reigns, for the great beasts of prey have given up their chase until a cloak of darkness again envelopes their movements. How can even the kings of the jungle know when the jungle will be flooded with brilliance or plunged into darkness if Lady Moon herself does not know? For the moment the breeze and the clouds hold the supreme power of life and death. But at last the moon haughtily soars above the earth-bound clouds into the clear blue sky, and with her haughty conquest of such earthly things, begin the jungle drums. Softly, slowly they beat, growing louder and louder, closer and closer. Through the jungle shines a light, the light of a native bonfire, around which dance the natives in time to the steady pum, pum, pum, pum, pum of the drums. Their writhing black bodies are as shiny as ebony except for the splotches of white paint. The flickering firelight illuminates their faces fantastically with jumping blood-red flecks of light and as they dance they chant weirdly. Led by their witch doctor, a little wizened old man with a skull of a water oxen, long ago bleached to a bone-white, over his head, the natives danced all through the night to the sound of the jungle drums. By the time the moon had neared the horizon, the chief whom they had hoped to heal by driving out the evil spirits with their dance lay dead, and the exhausted natives fell around the last glowing embers of the fire. With a knowing wink at the rising sun the moon sank behind the western horizon and left him to view with horror what destruction and despair had fallen upon the jungle in her one short rule of a jungle night. Molly McGuire, '38. I sought relief in poetry of old, In tapestries, and in exquisite tales. My rooted pain increased a hundredfold, As I beheld the pure and stately sails Of my soul's ship—and feared the turbulent seas Would sink it—and I prayed for utter ease From all my thoughts—that velvet darkness might Engulf me in oblivion of peace— In the soft shades of silent, endless night We met—my sorrow never will increase. The sun has risen—and the world is light. Ankey Larrabee, '37. �s CDelpliic Page Twenty-seven The Dawn of Wind Instruments Daniel tended his father's geese all through the long, weary days. Being an original child of fourteen, he sat dozing and waking by the swamp, trusting to luck that the honking, noisy beasts would not stray during his more listless moments, and occasionally tossing a bit of grain into the marshy weeds by his side to keep his wards contented and satisfied with their present environ­ ments. Daniel often dozed off into a kinder world with a long reed extending out of one corner of his mouth. So often had he watched with envy the older men seated about the evening campfire, smoking pipes with a deep and studied satisfaction, that he longed to do the same. At least it would be some sort of a pastime, since in those days before the discovery of musical instruments, the children had nothing much to interest them. What a dull life they must have led! Dancing and singing were then non-existent diversions. Existence on the whole was colorless. One particularly warm, dreamy afternoon we find this ambitionless child in his habitual attitude, dozing away the hours, stretched out on his back with a long, thick reed hanging between his teeth. The busy geese occasionally rustled the fall marsh grass and the heavy air was filled with the perpetual hum and drone of flying insects. Finally, a rather large and annoying fly, more inquisitive than his fellow playmates, settled himself squarely on Daniel's upper lip and began to flutter his wings and walk about until suddenly Daniel's body grew tense, his face became redder and fuller, and forgetting the reed in his mouth, he blew. A long, eerie, hollow noise filled the air. The boy sat up with a start, peered expectantly around—"the geese?''—no, a different sound entirely, in fact, much like the wind in the swamps on stormy nights, but not a leaf was stirring today. Gradually his teeth drifted apart as he assumed the usual expression of sur­ prise and the guilty reed dropped into his lap. Unconsciously, he placed it back in, his heart stopped pounding and he decided that he had been dreaming, after which he let out a relieved "whew"—again the eerie, hollow sound, this time short and staccato, filled his ears, but this time, his senses being sharpened and alert, light dawned in the usually foggy brain of Daniel as he realized v/here the strange, new, and interesting sound was coming from. He slept no more that afternoon. As evening slips on the quiet afternoon we hear unusual noises drifting across the flat lands from a glowing campfire around which are seated many happy people, each with a long reed taking the place of the accustomed pipe which is thrown disinterestedly to one side. Daniel is seated in the place of honor as being the discoverer of the wind instrument which now plays such an important part in the lives of all types and races of people today. Marguerite Peters, '36. L �(X^-he CDelpkic Page Twenty-eight Alone on the Moor I The sun had set on the moor, and the long, gray shadows of twilight stretched endlessly below a pastel tinted sky. The faint, cool breeze of evening rustled the heather at my feet. I could almost hear the tinkling of the tiny blue­ bells. The empty stillness only accentuated the rustling noise of the tiny night creatures, who now that the heat of day was over, seemed to come mysteriously to life in the cool evening air. I was alone with the moor, an aching feeling in my heart for the lonesome beauty all about me.The wind was rising and making a wild, low, rushing sound through the gorse and broom. Suddenly I came upon a child, a wild child of the moor, with tattered dress and shaggy hair. Her fearless black eyes were startled at finding herself not alone. I smiled; she paused a second, staring wonderingly, then a laugh baih eerie yet strangely sweet like the laugh of an elf, filled the air with music. Sud­ denly becoming shy, she turned and with a light, fleet step disappeared into the shadows. Long after she had gone, her laugh hovered faintly in the air. Again I was alone on the moor. Georgia Littlepage, '36. Winter When the trees are bare and the flowers are gone And the birds have hushed their cheerful song, The old east wind with its mournful tone Brings crisp Jack Frost to every home. This little man has ever a brush. With bristles of silver, his cold fingers rush O'er crystalline figures on each window pane And his laughter is silvery like tinkles of rain. Then the snow fairy calls to her millions of flakes And softly they cover—grass, trees, and lakes, Till the world is a vision of beauteous delight, Brilliant—sparkling by day, softer—moon-touched by night. This is the jolliest time of the year When the world is all white and Christmas is near, And sleigh bells jingle, and children shout Round lighted trees with gifts all about. Oh, winter, we love you! Your Jack Frost, your snow, Your gay Christmas season with trees all aglow, Your crisp, starry nights, and the wind's whistling sound, Bright logs in the fireplace with loved ones around. Peggy Lou Smith, '36. �(^ke kDelpkic Page Twenty-nine My First Attempt to Haunt a House My first attempt to haunt a house could not be said to be a material success, although technically the house was haunted to the nth degree. I, as you prob­ ably already guessed, am a ghost, an unemployed ghost. Maybe you mortals didn't know it, but the depression has struck us just as hard as it has you. For example, a very good friend of mine, Graves by name, owned a group of haunted apartment houses before the crash, and now there is a mortgage on every one of them, and the manner in which they are being haunted is a disgrcce to Ghostdom. I became a ghost during the depression; consequently I had hoc no experience at haunting until my first attempt which I shall tell you about new. I hope it scares you, but more than likely it won't because I have never been able to frighten anyone yet, this being the chief reason that I'm unemployed. October thirty-first was on hand, and I, not wishing to miss any of the fun, decided ;o rent a house for the night. I found this more difficult than I had imagined, as all the best houses were taken. Finally, as a last hope, I went to Bones and Bones Company, dealers in hauntable cemeteries. While I was wait­ ing I met an old friend. After explaining to him the situation, he told me that he would gladly let me use his house, as he had been haunting it all year and wanted a change for this bewitching night. Of course, I accepted, and arrived at the given address a few hours before twelve. The house itself was in the gray of condition, having a musty attic and a gloomy cellar. Only a few of the numerous rooms were in use, giving a spooky atmosphere. I wish, however, that this could be said of its occupant! This was the first disappointment. I had hoped for a houseful of scary old maids, but instead I found a grouchy, grumpy old man who probably hadn't the slightest idea that it was Hallowe'en. I did not give up hope, however, and when he settled himself in a chair to read by candlelight, I began work. I had procured some bolts of lightning and some very loud thunder, also Bones and Bones Company had rented to me a large gust of the North Wind giving a banging shutter atmosphere. These I immediately let loose and added a few howls on my own part. By this time I thought that the absorbed reader would at least grow curious, but he did not so much as lift his eyes from the book I now began to spread it on thick, literally speaking. I rattled chains, moaned and groaned, made sounds of footsteps, rocked rocking-chairs, and played the "Funeral March'' on the organ, but still no response from my host. At this time some boys rang his doorbell. To this also he paid no attention. As a last resort, I blew out his candle. This roused him to the point of striking a match and relighting the candle, which I calmly blew out again. After repeating this about five times, he got up and decided to go to bed. At last, I thought, now is the time he will listen. As soon as he was in bed I went through my haunts, but the only response was a rat-trap snore. This he kept up all night, and my efforts proved fruitless. When what I used to consider a friend, returned, I explained to him the situation. He laughed and was about to tell me the reason for my unsuccessful attempts when it dawned on me. The simplicity of it had been my downfall. There was only one answer, the old man was deaf! This was my first and last attempt to haunt a house. At present I am con­ sidering getting a job at the White Laundry, pressing sheets. Robin Nelson, '38. 1 ■ ; ! �i CDelplitc Page Thirty Well-Trained Fords I ! The natural inclinations of raltly old Fords tend with slight training to make the Ford a past master in the arts of excitement, tragedy, comedy, and romance. A much larger variety of different occurrences happens in Fords at the correct time than in any other car. No one expects to see a new shiny car stranded on the side road, but when one sees a rattly Ford slightly overloaded with college boys uncontrollably stopped miles from a gas station, he invariably laughs, but with sympathy in his heart. In spite of some drawbacks, no car holds such power as a well-trained Ford. Nothing is quite as exciting as seeing or being in a suddenly brakeless wreck of a Ford dashing hither and yon down the side of a mountain, barely missing the edge of the road by a few thousandths of an inch while the bouncing occupants of the back seat vainly try to save food, luggage, and themselves from utter ruin. Arriving on safer terra firma, limp rags of excited boys start the long weary climb to the top of the hill to recover several suitcases and any stray food or missing parts. Mother's loveliest and most super chocolate cake is no more for dust has returned to dust One sprained ankle will never see the college prom. But these few incidents are mere statements of minor events. A tragedy of tragedies stalks at the foot of the hill. A person who had never laughed in his life would roar at the sight of four surprised and shocked faces of four disgusted boys All four tires of the car are allowing the rims to touch the ground. Excitingly tragic humor, is it not? Two weeks later, the same little battered Ford makes a new appearance. Recently shined and redecorated, it now takes the position of honor, carrying its owner and his beautiful date to a scavenger hunt. But horrors of horrors, the car has stopped! Now what could be more annoying than being stranded in the middle of the country around midnight with a squealing baby pig and a cackling hen in the rear seat of the car? Well, 'pon my word! Only one big head can be seen silhoueted against the big round moon The equation for the dis­ appearance of one curly head is this. Two people liking each other, plus one glorious full moon, plus one stranded Ford with no passers-by equals romance. A well-trained Ford knowing when to stop and when to go is conducive to romance. Could I interest you in an excellently, superbly trained Ford? Alice Freeze, '36. �1 5 I i ) ^he ^Delphic Page Thirty-one The Native City of Shanghai Adventure! For the first time since our vacation to the Far East had begun, I felt my pulses quicken with excitement. A babbling of strange tongues, a con­ glomeration of vivid colors, and a mixture of unforgettable odors—these were my first impressions of the unique Native City of Shanghai. The streets were dark, narrow, and twisted. They wound about and never seemed to achieve an actual purpose These odd thoroughfares were lined with shops—and such shops! Side by side I noticed a jade shop with rare displays of breath-taking loveliness and a street cafe, where a bit of Chinese "hash” might be purchased for a few coppers. Indescribably filthy throngs clogged the streets, wandering aimlessly along without any apparent destination in mind. Suddenly a gentle whine at my sleeve startled me and I glanced quickly around. Not three feet from me a relic of a man stood moaning piteously. He was barefooted, his clothes were rags, and one of his legs was horribly crippled. As I looked at him I thought of a stray dog. And yet, this bedraggled spectacle frightened me thoroughly. Just as I was going to throw him a piece of silver, our guide stepped up and gruffly ordered him to be off. Later Mr. Tang, our honorable guide, told me that had I given him a piece of money every beggar in the vicinity would have been on my trail in a few minutes. We wandered on through the maze of crooked streets, shopping a bit here and there. Late in the afternoon we found ourselves back where we had entered the Native Quarter. There our car and driver awaited us. But when I went, I knew I should always treasure the memory of this unique settlement which teemed with adventure and excitement. Cathryn Collins, '36. Is the Moon Tired? Is the moon tired? She looks so pale, Sailing across the sky Within her misty veil. Does she miss her sister light Who gallantly sails by day? Is she lonely in the dark For friendship in her play? She thinks not of these trivial things, But sheds a soothing light, And we, from troubles of the day, Find comfort in the night.

Haworth, '37. �CDelptilc Page Thirty-three 7777 A. D. i "Father, it looks as if the planets are going to have good weather for the opening day of the Universe Series. Earth is going to play against the rest of the solar system. I also hear that Saturn is going to play first base. Mars has to play second base although he wanted to pitch, but Earth decided he was too far away from home for that position. Jupiter was pleased with the opportunity to ploy third base because last year he had to play short stop." "William, what part is Moon going to play this year?" "Oh, she is playing pitcher on the side of Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter. I always knew the Moon and the Earth lived too close together to get along. Those people on Earth have always thought they were better than we. They are always brag­ ging about their great discoveries and their knowledge of their own past history. Just yesterday I heard and saw over my spectacles (they are not used in 7777 A. D. as they were in 1800, 1900, and 2000 A. D.) that they have been doing some underground exploring. They have dug up an ancient place in which it is believed humans lived as far back as the twentieth century. They have found a good many species of the feminine sex with scars and holes in' their heads. Some ancient story tells that they used to wind their hair around some wires. What suffering for vanity's sake!" "Father, don't you think it is about time for the game to start?" "You're right. Here it goes!" The game begins, and Earth soon gets ahead. The spectators, Venus, Mer­ cury, and Neptune, who have bet large sums of money on the solar planets (Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter), are steadily losing their tempers because the umpire from Uranus counted one of Earth's balls as a strike instead of a foul. Every year Earth had been victorious in the thrilling games of the series. The other planets had taken all they could stand. They were overfed with this everlasting defeat. Venus, Mercury, and Neptune spread the word around in a few minutes of plans that would start things popping before the game ended. The people of Earth were so engrossed in watching their players almost make a home run that they did not see the army rockets advancing above carrying their doom. The game came to a sudden end. Earth turned a brilliant red in the sky. Even the sun blinked with the powerful glow. Poor Earth fell into a trillion pieces while the triumverate of spectators victoriously returned to their places in the sky to rule supreme. Earth was broken, but not her record of no defeats, for the home run won the game.

For Hallowe'en we made oranges into Jack o'Lantern faces by putting in licorice candy for eyes, nose, and mouth. The expression on some of these orange faces made other small faces smile. What do you think we made for Christmas? Little sleds of holly paper, with delicious candysticks tied on with red ribbon, to represent yule logsl We also covered match boxes with fancy paper and filled them with candy, dates, and small, gay toys. To make these boxes look jolly we put a large Santa Claus on the front of them. We saved nine dollars and bought enough gifts to send to S. Marguerite's Home in the East. These gifts are given to the little girls on their birthdays. Now we are dressing four dolls. Two are curly headed girl dolls and two are the darlingest baby dolls you ever saw. They will soon be sent, with complete wardrobes, to make four little hearts happy. The first and second grades are making little bib aprons decorated with crayoned Mother Goose rhymes. The fifth grade is planning a book for Poland in return for the lovely book the Polish children sent to us. I am sure the children who have received our gifts will not be happier en­ joying them than we were in preparing them. We look forward to making many more children happy next year. Jean Lewis, Form VI. \ i An Interrupted Breakfast m // The recent snow storm has made it difficult for the little fur and feathered creaiures near my home to find food. One morning Mother called me to the window to see a saucy squirrel holding a large red apple in his forepaws. His bushy tail was turned up over his head for a protection against the rough wind. While he nibbled his breakfast, he didn't forget to be on the lookout for danger. Every once in a while, he would stop munching that luscious red apple and look all about, straining his ears for the faintest sound. Suddenly the milkman came down the driveway. Mr. Squirrel looked up in alarm, but decided he couldn't leave his apple, for with a quick flourish of his tail, he picked it up with his sharp teeth, ran across the driveway and up the nearest tree to safety.

Marilyn Adair, Form V. i 1 �CDeiphic Page Thirty-six \ V j Adventure of a Stamp i/ i I will begin my story by telling you that I am a little German stamp. The first thing I can remember, I was lying on a table while a boy wrote a letter to his American cousin When he was through he put me on the letter and left us on the table until morning In the morning he took me to the town and put me in the mail-bo:;- Incide the box there were many other letters. Some were going to other countries in Europe and others were going across the sea. The next day a postman took me out of the box and I was put on a boat and sailed for America. After we had been sailing for a few days there v/as a storm and the boat rolled about so much that I felt rather dizzy. When I arrived I was taken to another little boy who lived in the country. He opened the letter and read it. Then he put me in some water and soaked me off the envelope. Now I am in his stamp collection, and I must say I am very proud to be in such a varied collection of stamps. ! . \ v When Spring Comes Back P / Some folks watch the calendars, To tell when Spring returns; But I can tell by the singing birds, And the flowers and the ferns. For when you see a tiny bud, Or maybe a crocus dear, And a violet nodding its pretty head, It means that Spring is here. I do not need a calendar, Or a yearly almanac. For when I see God's messengers, I know that Spring is back Nada Skidmore, Form V. »i Coming of Winter i/ The icy winds blew through the trees, The leaves swirled to the ground; Through the night the brisk breeze Sends forth its sweeping sound.

Basketball Games ST. HELEN'S HALL vs. THE JUNIOR COLLEGE : : The season opened with our customary lirst-season game with the Junior College. By hard work and brilliant plays from the entire team, we vanquished the college team with a score of 37-14. The return game with the college was one of ihe fastest, most contested games of the year. Both teams were determined to win, but when the final whistle blew, the score was 24-25 in favor of the college. i i. i ! ST. HELEN'S HALL vs. WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL The game with Washington High School was our first out-of-school game. It was packd with excitement from beginning to end. With the end of the game thirty seconds away, the score was for us by one point. With a bit of clever passing and skillful dodging, however, a Washington forward slipped a shot into the basket, making the score 26-25 when the whistle was blown. i ST. HELEN'S HALL vs LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL I Our second public high school game was played against Lincoln High on their floor. By clever teamwork and passing our team won 36-14. This was the first time we had played Lincoln, but we look for some keen competition with them next year. I Intermural Basketball Games The senior class won the interclass basketball championship by taking all of their games in the round robin tournament. Sixty-six girls participated in the games, which brought forth much talent from the girls as well as great enjoy­ ment by both players and spectators. Tournament results are as follows: Seniors defeated Sophomores Seniors defeated Juniors Juniors defeated Freshmen Sophomores defeated Juniors Sophomores defeated Freshmen Freshmen defeated Eighth Grade Eighth Grade defeated Seventh Grade 39-14 53-10 39-19 34-11 21- 3 10- 4 36- 3 �y. f^he CDelphic Page Thirty-nine Athletic Activities at St. Helen's Hall St. Helen's Hall offers a great variety of sports for every student interested in the cultivation of grace and ease. Miss Margaret McGinty and Miss Dorothy Lachmund are the physical education instructors of great ability, and one just can't help liking to learn from them. The principle and technique of almost every girls' spori available is taught here so that one can really enjoy athletics and become expert at gymnastics. It can well be said that basketball is the most popular as well as the most entertaining sport at the Hall. For years the St. Helen's Hall basketball team was famous for its "unbeatability". For years to come it will signify the school spirit of the Hall for basketball is taken very seriously. It is the demonstration of athletic prowess combined with severe practice. The school has a team of which to be very proud. Tennis is one of the most outstanding sports in the school. Each spring there is a tennis tournament played. The tennis singles and doubles for the beginners and advanced students are played preliminary to the finals. Finally on the day of the New-Girl Old-Girl party, the finals were played as a part of the May Fete entertainment. Another fascinating sport which is winning quite a place in the Hall spot­ light is deck tennis. Regular gym classes have this interesting sport, and one must say that it requires a great deal of agility and quick thought to be an expert. During the very cold spell this winter, the open air gym proved too chilly for the general taste. This brought forth the ingenuity of Miss McGinty, and soon the entire school was doing folk-dancing. It was a familiar sound to hear "Country Gardens'' or "Irish Lilt" accompanied by claps and stamps drifting through the halls. Quaint folk dances typifying various foreign countries have become "more fun"! Archery plays a most important part in the spring sport season. Baseball runs it a close second, while fencing is held in special clcsses. Other activities are natural dancing, tap dancing, and acrobatic dancing. A nearby riding academy is the goal of many a young equestrienne who craves a cantor over wooded paths and swooping plains. As if all these sports were not enough, the Hall purchased property on Lake Oswego, near the city, and made a rustic lodge to accommodate water sport fans. Here the resident pupils enjoy many a week-end outing, canoeing in one of the slim canoes, rowing one of the row-boats, dashing about the lake in the motorboat, swimming, playing tennis, or doing any one of the thousand enter­ taining things. The lodge, Everglade by name, must be seen to be appreciated; it is situated on a v/ooded peninsula, almost surrounded by the sparkling blue waters of the lake. An anchored float is constantly used for diving and sun­ bathing. This wonderful place is also the scene of day students’ parties. This lovely playground will remain in the hearts of all Hall graduates as a beloved memory as long as the Everglade's curlew pennant shall wave. n f i ' il i . ■ & �i 1 ! ■ Tennis The tennis season had a rather late start this year because of the unusual weather, but nevertheless many girls signed up for tournaments. Advanced and beginners' singles and doubles were held. After much competition and hard practice the finals were played on the day of the May Fete as part of the enter­ tainment for the royal court of the Queen. Although the tournaments are only in the spring, one can find someone on the court on a sunny day even in winter. The team was chosen from the school for its ability and represents the best players of the school. They are Betty Lou Roberts, Carolyn Kamm, Peggy Lou Smith, and Marion Condon. Volley Ball Volley ball has been present at the Hall for quite a period of time but v/as not extremely popular until this year. A team of the school was organized; those on the team were chosen by merit of their playing on their class teams in the intermural games. A great interest has developed in the game and it is already the favorite sport of a great many girls. In the interclass volley ball games, the seniors won all their games in the tournament. The boarders and days formed teams to play. The day students won the game after a very hard-fought battle. Fifty-eight girls participated in these games. Everyone enjoyed the competition very much and is looking for­ ward with great anticipation to the next year's tournament. ! �Page Forty-one WmffMSrnSmm The May Fete On May nineteenth, our annual May Fete was combined with the New-Girl Old-Girl party in an American Festival in which almost every girl in school participated. Queen Marguerite Peters and her Princesses, Verna Lee Francklin, Alice Freeze. Cathryn Collins, Barbara Jones, Elinor Bakke, and Marion Condon, presided graciously over the affair. Families and friends of the Hall girls at­ tended the Festival. The activities of the afternoon were divided into five periods in American History. The period of Discovery and Exploration was depicted by folk dances of Spain, England, and France, as well as an American Indian dance. Then came the period of Early Colonization, bringing German, Dutch, Irish, and Swedish dances. The American Colonization Period was shown by a dainty minuet. Next came the Pioneer Period which was typified by the Virginia reel and the quadrille Last, the Reconstruction Period was depicted by the rye waltz and a polka. The dances were followed by the tennis tournaments. After these the usual picnic lunch was served by the new girls. The Festival was ended with the New-Girls' entertainment for the Old-Girls. Everyone enjoyed the entire day of festivity and fun. �p . ; Page Forly-two Ridincf i Archery ir As a game to build grace and ease archery has no equal. It has shown its popularity this spring among many of the girls. Budding Robin Hoods are shoot­ ing all over the campus, regardless of one's proximity to the target. There is an archery club for those girls particularly interested in the sport. : . l On Friday afternoons a bevy of girls attired in the garb necessary to suc­ cessful experimentation with a saddle and bridle, leave for Highland's Riding Academy for the purpose of indulging in the equestrienne’s sport One of the most popular of sports at any time, riding is a particular favorite at the Hall Beautiful trails lead through woods and meadows; thrilling log jumps are ad­ vantageously placed at just the right spots. Spirited horses make these after­ noon rides particularly satisfying. For the more timid or for the beginner, an open ring and expert instruction make the trails seem not so far off nor so very difficult to maneuver. Some of our more expert riders are Marjorie Kernan, Mary McCrea, Jeanne Miller, Elsie Lou Green, Shirley Giltner, Nanette Moore, Phyllis Natwick, Dorothy Wells, Geraldine Denman, Cathryn Collins, and many other girls who attend other riding academies or ride at home. ! ; i �CDelphic Page Forty-three Y.v Alpha Theta Alpha Theta has become an established organization in the school since its beginning six years ago. The purpose of the club is to sponsor and promote athletic interest and sportsmanship in the school. The members must participate in sports as well as have excellent characters, standing for high ideals, of help­ fulness, courtesy, obedience, and loyalty. This year the club sponsored a "Posture Week" to impress good posture on the girls’ minds. Many colorful posters adorned the walls, while a contest for the best theme and poem on posture was held. Posture became as important as many of the active sports through the girls' efforts during this week. In addition, the medals for the tournaments which Alpha Theta sponsored in tennis were given by the club to reward the winners. The group has tried throughout the year to increase athletic sportsmanship, to uphold the ideals of the school, and to honor girls who show the greatest sportsmanship and highest characters. We feel that it is an asset to the school. The first term officers were Betty Lou Roberts, President, Georgia Littlepage, Vice-President; and Betty Sumner, Secretary-Treasurer. The second term officers were Georgia Littlepage, President; Elsie Lou Green, Vice-President; and Peggy Lou Smith, Secretary-Treasurer. pi : . ;I';?-::;t p i j �Page Forty-four 'H �m �- Vsr;a -V* \vr; ■; •r ■ ■ " ■ v.*r/ .■ . sSSS ~ S'* .•.‘.is . - -• ; . •» ■ r: * ’ • . - . ■ . .■ t-'-y »• r .... .. . .c* • .. . .

It was a great suc­ cess and enjoyed by all. September 25 Judge Mary Jane Spurlin told many of the meanings of the titles of the alpha­ betical government, pointing out the work of the various ones. Her talk relieved the doubtfulness in our minds about the actual meaning of some of the initials. OCTOBER October 3 The Cld-Girl New-Girl Party was the official welcome to the many new girls. After a rather strenuous initiation, apples, doughnuts, and cider were vocifer­ ously welcomed by both the initiated and initiators. October 5 Alpha Theta held its semi-annual rush tea. Six girls pledged the sport club. Congratulations! October 9 Dean Collins, from the Journal, spoke to us on "The Value of Writing as an Individual ' This was our first Student Body entertainment, and it was enjoyed tremendously. October 11 Sigmund Spaeth, tune detective from New York, visiting the Portland Sym­ phony, gave us and the Junior College girls a very interesting display of the composition of many well-known songs. October 16 Our seniors had a battle to the death today! The cause was one of Shakes­ peare's mighty works, "Hamlet". The fifth period class succeeded in convincing the judges of the young man s sanity, but the first period class is still doubtful as to the veracity of any one's conclusions. "To be mad, or not to be mad". October 23 Mary Cullen from the Journal talked to the juniors and seniors with the Junior College on the varied and wide work in the Home Economics field.

Our sisiers in the Orient are quite progressive and very inter­ esting in their new-found freedom. December 11 Father Simmonds talked to us on "Legends and the Spirit of Christmas". The talk was greatly enjoyed and gave us a cheery Christmas feeling. December 12 The first basketball game of the year inspired such a grand turnout that the team valiantly won, 35 to 14, playing against our rivals, the Junior College. Excitement was no word for the cheers that echoed for many a block! December 14 The Alpha Theta initiation was held at the home of Frances Haworth. Later there was a dinner and Christmas party out at the lake. Bette Morfitt, Dorothy Wells, Jeanne Miller, Sybil Kennedy, and Ankey Larrabee became true mem­ bers of Alpha Theta. December 17 We all enjoyed the picture, "King of Kings", this evening in the lower school building. It was sponsored by the Student Body and was greatly enjoyed by the girls and their guests, December 19 The girls learning to play the violin gave us a grand program, showing us just what they had done in the few months of work. Although we do not claim perfection for these our younger members, we do say, "Congratulations on your rapid work." �■ ^he CDelphic Page Forty-seven The Boarders gave the Mystery Play again this year, producing it them­ selves, with Phyllis Natwick as the director.

The little bug of travel hit the majority of us. This afternoon we were fortunate indeed to have with us Mr. Richard Mont­ gomery, the author of "The White Headed Eagle". He gave us an insight into the life of John McLoughlin, the man who gave so much to our country March 12 We left at noon today for our long-awaited spring vacation; we welcome a little bit of spring and a lot of vacation. March 17 Back to school after our vacation, which seemed all too short. The end of school looms before us as we settle down to study. March 18 The P. W. A orchestra won much praise and enthusiasm by its spirited playing in the college. The familiar strains of many a piece called for many an encore. March 24 Today the team played Lincoln High School It was an exciting game, and the final score was 36-14 in our favor. Rah, Rah! March 25 This morning we were greatly honored by having our Bishop Dagwell speak to us at the college. This was his first address to the school as a whole, and everyone was happy to greet one who has such an influence on our school. This afternoon Miss Foulkes brought some talented musicians with her to give us some lovely selections from well known composers. We appreciate her kindness in bringing such excellent entertainers. March 27 The "Days" played the "Boarders" in volleyball. The "Boarders" just couldn't hold their stride, and thus the "Days" took the last two winning games. : : ' �: ' ^he CDelphic Page Forty-nine APRIL April 3 The college had its first victory over the high school today. The game was close and exciting, finally ending with the score of 25 to 24. Better luck next year. April 7 Bishop Dagwell came again to favor us. He confirmed many of the girls in a beautiful service. April 12 Easter! the day of beauty and joy! Between a noisy egg hunt and new clothes, a most exciting day was had by everyone. April 17 The day of the Senior Class play! The seniors played hooky on a "Flunk DaySister Superior joined us on the neighboring hill for a jolly breakfast in the open, after which we sang the school songs. Our hearts were just a little bit heavy with the looming thoughts of leaving. The afternoon was spent in blissful slumber to make us fresh as daisies for the play. The play, "The Bride of Quietness", was a success. Mrs. Euwer was our director. Now ihat the thrill is over, we look back and think of all the fun we had in producing it. April 24 Sybil Kennedy was hostess for a lively set of Hall girls at her home in Cen­ tral Oregon, Horses, spring, and those wide, open spaces made the week-end a highlight of fun and gaiety. MAY May 19 The day of the May Fete! What gaiety and fun for all! May 23 The annual Alumna tea was held this afternoon. We, the Seniors, now have our Alumnae cards. To think our days here at the Hall are almost over! May 25 Exam week! For the second time this year we drag ourselves through a period of mental torment. , May 29 What a gay program the lower school gave today. May 29 The Junior Prom! What a lovely dance! May we boast a little and say that it was quite the best of the year? A musical ending of four years! May 31 The Baccalaureate Service was held at Trinity Church. The Seniors felt very dignified in their caps and gowns. Afterwards we came back to school for the traditional luncheon, and then went to the other building for the unveil­ ing of our picture and the giving out of honors. The afternoon was completed by the giving out of the Delphic. JUNE June 1 Commencement! The beautiful, yet sad, end to our four wonderful years at St. Helen's Hall. i ' :H 1 11 : V ' 1:1 !

The initiations were amusing although we were not per­ mitted to initiate the new teachers. Prizes were awarded for the cleverest costumes, and the refreshments of apples, cider, and doughnuts were welcomed and cheered by all. The party was a grand send-off to the new girls to start their new year in a new school in a gay manner. Faculty Tea The annual Faculty Tea on October twenty-ninth helped our parents become acquainted with our teachers The juniors and seniors served tea to the guests while everyone had a lovely afternoon meeting many new friends. Boarders' Dance The first Boarders' Dance was given in December. The decoration of the assembly hall was carried out in red and white crepe paper and confetti. In the middle of the evening everyone became playful and as a result, confetti and streamers covered the room. Really, we hadn't ralized what fun dancing on paper could be! Late in the evening a delicious box lunch was presented by Sister Superior for the enjoyment of all Open House On May eighth, the Alumnae of St. Helen's Hall sponsored an Open House. Each class from the kindergarten through the high school exhibited the various types of work that has been accomplished this year. Mothers and friends of the Hall girls and alumnae attended. Mrs. Robert Bishop was chairman of the tea which was served during the afternoon The senior class officers poured and members of the class assisted. Concerts, Symphonies, and Operas A large number of the girls attended the series of concerts presented this season by the Ellison-White Bureau, and according to numerous reports, Brailowsky seems to have been exceptionally well liked. Other celebrated artists v/ho appeared were Giovanni Martinelli, Agna Enters, Jan Kubelik, Kathryn Meisle, Moscow Cathedral Choir, Lotte Lehmann, and Martha Graham. This year the Symphony held the interest of those who attended even more than usual, for many outstanding artists were presented in these concerts. During the week of March tenth to fifteenth, the San Carlo Opera Company was in Portland. Although all of the operas were well-liked, Aida and Madam Butterfly seemed to be the favorites of most The Junior Prom On the night of May twenty-ninth, the seniors attended their last dance as students of St. Helen's Hall, and even though light feet danced to the swaying music of Johnnie Callahan's orchestra, and soft lights and laughter enhanced the gaiety of the dancers, every senior senses a queer little ache in her heart as she realizes that her school life at the Hall is ended. In spite of this feeling of sorrow, each girl enters merrily into the spirit of the evening which she will remember throughout her life along with her many other happy recollections of the Hall. ■ �<* ■ . . ■ .< :U* ■ I" >■* ; •f Si . ;r " / * 1 —• f-— . • ' •• • ' * ;:.:v f ■ ■ w ■f ■ •;;■ f~ • -■ r-T. r:-1" : r. -■ ., . •• -• ■■ ■ ;rg OQ CjLrl cHotes -• • • Friendship binds our hearts in love Around our noble Alina Mater forever. �'. .

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.

This year the Council, which was composed of fifteen members of the Senior class and a representative from each of the other classes, was under the leadership of Peggy Bernard as president and Dorothy Furnish as vice-president. We feel that the Student Council this year has been a success, and we have tried to prove that with the cooperation and loyalty of the girls an effective student government can prevail. �!§ : i| i..« ! : !i : i pj | !ai i ■ .

We feel that this year it has had a repeated success in the fact that it has promoted more school activities, giving everyone an opportunity to share them. At the first of the year a school paper was organized, which has been kept up by our capable editor, Phyllis Elder. At Christmas time, a party was given by the Student Body for some poor children, also some additions have been made to the school for the welfare of the students. Two dances were given by the Student Body along with other activities. Laddie Green was president the first term, and Peggy Carleton the second term. T i!i iS i * I JM hi !' '!! ! : Ml ■;!

Phyllis Elder was elected editor. Marguerite Peters was elected assistant editor, and a large staff was appointed. The paper has given the girls a fine opportunity to express themselves. It has also given those on the staff ex­ perience in editing a paper, for they have mimeographed it themselves. A great deal of credit for the paper’s success should he given to Phyllis Elder who has worked hard to make it interesting. Congratulation to the members of this year's staff and good luck to the “Blotter” for the coining year! 1 �! j : V '' i i* Jian ^hcims For fourtee n years, Nan Adams Knapp taught the gym­ nasium classes here at St. Helen’s Hall. The impression she left on the mind of each girl who came in contact with her was one of sympathetic understanding of girls. Each girl knew that at all times she could confide in Mrs. Knapp and receive competent advice. Mrs. Knapp was a splendid coach and her inspiration and direction made our basketball team one of the strongest in the city for many years.

Mv Dear Jan: : ; : 5} l : ! .! i ■ i \ "V\ THILE I was waiting for the Coast Express, which as usual was delayed bv ▼ V the storm conditions over the mountains, I decided to wander into the library to while the time away. 1 went into the periodical room where the headlines from papers gathered from all over the world attracted my attention. Imagine my great surprise to find on one of the prominent New York papers the picture of one of the ’35 graduates of St. Helen's Hall. It was that of the former Laddie Green, who is now the Queen of Timbuctu! Was I astonished! In the same paper I noticed one of the clever cartoons done by the famous Dorothy Furnish. There was a notice of the promotion of Phyllis Elder to the position of head announcer of the Pepsodent Hour, and, by the way. I see by the advertisements that Peggy Bernard is their Prize Picture Poster Girl. This promised to be so interesting that I decided my time was being veil spent and I began to look on in earnest, to sec \vhat I could find of the rest of that class. I saw in the Viennese news that Anne Bcrkcy is making great headway in career as an opera singer. In the notices of that paper I also ran across an account of the new Silly Symphony being produced in German by its originator. Phyllis Grenfell, who plays all the piccolo accompaniments herself. I noticed in a paper from Calcutta, a rather old one at that, that Jeanne and Lucile Latourette are spending some time at the palace of the Rajah, where Jeanne is teaching the royal wives the art of bleaching their hair, and Lucile is learning the authentic way to charm snakes. Also from the Oriental Journal of Shanghai. I find that Jane Mount is very successful in her venture of trying to edit a Chinese “College Humor". Lillian Brooke is the Matron of the new Manila Children's Home, so the paper says. And now to return to the United States, where in the papers from the west coast I find that Geraldine Hanny has organized a fine circus in which she shows the terror-striking Brutus, the cruel man-eating lion, and his harem. Maryalice Enos has charge of the tight-rope-walking section of the outfit, and Anita Cadonau does a toe-dance in between acts. Strangely, too, I find the picture of Nathalie Lewis on the sport page, for Nathalie is the new manager of a widely known base­ ball team. News flash from Paris! Peggy Krumbein, who always did have high aspira­ tions. is a highly praised poetess. Margaret Mary Mann is mentioned for creating a new device whereby the visitors of the Eiffel Tower, where she is head elevator girl, can have restful music on the trips up and down in the elevators. Byrl Browne, who lives in Lyons, owns an exclusive shop where she models Dr. Locke's shoes: she also goes around to the hospitals where she demonstrates. I found among these papers a late paper from Holland, where I see Marion Siegfried has opened a new dairy farm, and her partner is Elizabeth Stone, who is veterinary for the bovine population. From the Lithuanian papers I gleaned this information. Marion Rosenteachers* speed prize, for she is teaching a school of her own there now. Nancy Hilton is conducting a dancing school in Barcelona where no less a young person than the son of Fred Astaire is in training. From the Lithuanian papers I gleaned this information, Marian Rosen­ blatt has syndicated her famous "Tell Auntie" column. Then I found this news in the paper from right here in Chicago—Dorothy Good is in her tenth year as the �THE DELPHIC , 21 head telephone operator in the great Grain Exchange Building. Margaret Hoi lord has an option on the comic section of the New York Times and tries out all her humor on the Young Peoples Corrective School, which is in charge of another of the girls from that same class, Mary Kav Shoemaker. Mary Louise Blodgett has been promoted to the rank of General in the Salvation Army, and no doubt that lassie spends many a sleepless night over her former class-mates, And by the way. Jan, I heard that Helen Stone was left more than a million dollars at the death of her husband, the late Sir Skeiton Thursly, the Cream of Asparagus Soup King. Mary Helen Pruitt, who always had a wish to travel, now probably does it on the ocean floor; for I see that her husband, William Beebe Jr. has made several trips to the bottom of the sea lately, accompanied by her. In the latest paper from the growing metropolis of Dufur, I see that its prominent citizen, Peggy Carleton, lias written the final chapter in her outstanding book, “The True Life of the Old Grey Mare.” She must have to work very hard, for she also edits a monthly agricultural paper called "What's What in Wheat.” I think bv the things I have read that most of the girls must be happy in their chosen fields, don’t you? It certainly seems that most of them have fulfilled their wishes for travel and lots of it for they seem to be widely scattered over the earth’s surface. Well. I think I shall close now. for we seem to be arriving at the airport. Write to me soon and tell me the news of some of the other girls we used to know.

Think of the opportunities offered to the young woman of today as compared with those offered her grand­ mother. Today the young woman graduating from high school has her choice of going to work immediately or of attending college and then entering any one of the many fields offered to the modern young woman. Women of the twentieth century have many of the same opportunities in the business world, the political world, the social world, and the economic world as do the men. and it is up to us, the coming generation, to carry on the excellent reputation already acquired by the women of this generation. When our grandmothers finished high school, very few of them went on to institutes of higher learning. They either got married, taught school, or became old maids, h was considered a disgrace for a woman to have to work to support hersel f. And so. with the preparation given us here at St. Helen's Hall, let us, the graduating class of June, 1935, face the future with eagerness and with the assur­ ance that we arc equipped to live our lives intelligently and modernly. Editor-in-Chief. i > i II : ■1 ■ | . m j ! ■ i I 1 ! Editorial V\ 7rHHX one is about to write her last composition as a student, it might be VV expected that some tribute be paid to the school which received her in girl­ hood, and sent her forth in womanhood. The poetical beauties of Keats, the pro­ found depths of Wordsworth or the logical analysis of Carlyle might each claim their portion of the acknowledgment. But believing that the more lasting monu­ ment to the worth of our school can be built by an adherence to the truths which it has and ought to teach, and by such a moulding of our lives, that in the years to come it can point with pride to its children. I shall dedicate this to my class­ mates. In all probability, we shall never again be assembled. Some will answer the call of life from afar; some will find fame and honor; others will take their places among the silent and obscure workers of the world; but no matter where we arc, when we experience in different ways the tense excitement of a basketball game, the dread of exams, the impatient waiting for report cards or the thrill of com­ mencement, our thoughts will often be together.

His mouth was filled with the “pearls of great price” which jwereANUARY the pride and joy of all the Blackfeet. His trousers were ragged, his feet hare, hut his heart was singing, for he was going to the “Big House" in one more week to be a page boy for Master Ben, his one ideal. January went humming down the road as fast as his legs could carry him, trying to beat his shadow along the lane, for though Jan was old enough to know better, he was still afraid, just a tiny bit, of oY man shadow’s reaching out to grab the one and only authentic shadow January Blackfeet possessed. “Mammy's goin’ ta mek a lil* shortnin’. shortnin’, Mammy’s goin' ta mek a lil’ shortnin’ bread !’’ sang January at the top of his lungs as he neared the cabin which was home to Mammy Blackfeet and her army of children. "January!

Rest by the Roadside T-J OVV much or how little the meaning these few words, "Rest by the Roadside", can convey. To one, the wayfarer weary with life’s struggles, too, it is not only "Rest by the Roadside" but beauty in contemplation as well; and I have in mind the person who filled the lowly task of hod carrier and who has recently been awarded the coveted prize offered by the Denver Artists’ Guild for the most outstanding paint­ ing of the year. This man, humble and self-taught, painted in oils on cardboard cut from a box and enclosed in a crude, hand wrought frame, a phantasy in green, a pastoral sonnet of grassy retreat—the picture of one of his childhood haunts, where, as he says, he spent many happy boyhood hours. In the sunset of his life, despite eighty-two years of menial labor, he has been able to reproduce in livid colors, this fond memory which he affectionately calls. "Rest by the Roadside”. How beautiful it must be when one nearing the end of this earthly journey, is able to recall from the recesses of his mind and memory the imprint of true beauty made in early youth. How beautiful that a rendezvous in youth can to old age be a "Rest by the Roadside". Caroline Stratton, ’35. I ; ! lil: : •! \ . : !

Incense rising will slowly fade Like to romance never told. Tiny tinkling temple bells, A jeweled crescent moon hung high In a grayish violet velvet sky— Dreams! Rattish, withered yellow men, Scurrying down a narrow street Past a smoky opium den, Their dodging journey to complete.

If 1 hadn’t loved her. I would never have gone to visit her aunt. It all came about this way. Jack received a letter from his aunt, whom he had never seen, telling him she was very lonely and pleading with him to visit her during the spring vacation. “If I don’t hear from you.” she said, "I’ll expect you on March 25.” However. Jack had made other arrangements, so he asked me if I would visit her at Carmel-by-the-Sea. Tsobcl, his sister, succeeded in persuading me to go. On the train I had plenty of lime to think the whole matter over. 'I'he aunt was unmarried, and probably a crabby old lady, and very set in her ways, That was certainly not a very promising way to spend a vacation. While 1 was thinking of my unhappy situation, a tall, pleasant fellow came up. “Hello. My name’s Judson, A! Judson. We're starting a game of bridge and we’d like to have you join us.” “O. K. Thanks. I’m Bill Spencer.” We played bridge until the train arrived at Carmel, where both Judson and I got off. “Good-bye, Spencer. Hope we meet again sometime.” 1 never dreamed we would. At the station where the aunt. Miss Storey, was to meet me. a person ot about forty-five came up to me and said all in one breath; “You're Jack, aren’t you? I can tell by the college labels on your suitcases. Here Jim. take these suitcases, and show him to the car. Come on. Jack, we re in a hurry. We're going to a dinner and then to a dance tonight. I hope . . . “But . . .” I started. "I hope you brought your tux and tailcoat along. How long is your vacation? We re going to have a dandy time. Whoopee!” I tried to interrupt: “You don't understand . . . I . . . that is he ...” “Who doesn’t understand? You wait until this visit's over. I’ll bet you thought I was about a hundred and very crabby. But I’m so glad you came. You re every bit as handsome as I expected you to be. I would have been humiliated to death if you hadn’t been. I’ve been raving about you for a week to all my friends.” She rattled on at this rate, not giving me a chance to get a word in edge­ wise. She answered all the questions that she asked, and took me oil my feet so that I didn’t know what it was all about. I decided to let her think I was Jack and hope for the best. It seemed funny, though, that she didn’t know . . . Everything went along fine for a while. The fact that she talked so much was really a blessing for me, for she seldom waited for me to reply to her ques­ tions. One evening—the night before I left—she gave a dinner, and she had planned it to be a real party. She invited about fifty young people whom she particularly liked. Much to my surprise, A1 Judson. the fellow I met on the train, appeared. As my “aunt” was about to introduce Judson, he said; “Well, hello Spencer, how are you? It’s nice meeting you again." “My ‘aunt’ was astonished to hear me called ‘Spencer’ and at first thought it was all a joke. “Cut out your nonsense, Al. This is my nephew. Jack Livesay.” “What, is Jack Livesay your nephew? That is a surprise! He and I went to Cornell high school together. This fellow’s not Livesay. Believe me, Jack and I were swell friends, and I know.” j : I : 1 ii : ' 1 . :i �m i ■ ■ THE DELPHIC ; 29 ! Miss Storey was impressed with the sincerity of his statement. "Maybe you're right. Come to think of it I’ve never seen my nephew. And then turning to me. she said: ‘‘You're an imposter, after my money! Get out of mv house—you—you . . At this moment the doorbell rang. I thought this would he my chance to get away, but my “aunt" was watching me. She grabbed me by the ear. "Oh. no. you don’t escape. I’ve decided to keep you here till the police . . ." My mind was running wild. Suddenly 1 heard a familiar voice. It was Jack Livesay’s. A1 Judson opened the door. Now he came forward. "Miss Storey.” he said, "this is the real Jack Livesay.’’ I interrupted. "Jack, they think that I’m you. I’ve tried to explain to your aunt, hut she talks so much that I can’t tell her about our arrangement.” Win . Aunt Madge, didn’t you get my letter explaining that I couldn’t come and that Bill Spencer was coming instead? I wrote it two days before Bill left.” "Well," Aunt Madge said, "you probably forgot to mail it. Do you actually remember the mailbox in which you put it and time of day it was?” "Xnnn-no. N-not exactly—but I did mail it.” "What’s that white paper sticking out of your pocket?” "By gcorge, that’s it!” "That’s just like a Livesay. What did you come down here for anyway?” "Well. 1 drove down to see you and to take Bill back to college.” "Well, you're just in time for a big dinner. If it hadn’t been that I talked so much, this would never have happened. I’m really sorry. Bill. You must both come down again." And she led the way to the dining room. "Aunt Madge", as I now call her, and I had a swell time in spite of every­ thing. When I was leaving for college she confided to me: "When I first saw you. 1 should have suspected the whole thing. I should have known that a Livesay couldn’t he so good-looking." Margaret Ho l ford, '35. : i I : ! !

No more school for ten days and here she was at her roomy's ^ ranch. Slightly different from her city home, this huge plane with only waving grain and here and there a patch of just sagebrush. Lonely? Terribly! Bored? Maybe! What was there to do? Eat?—uhm. Sleep?—a little Parties?—one country dance. Ho hum! What’s that0 A picnic up to Cloud Cave, with Sue and her two brothers. What tun! They'd go on horses to the one little river in the country and from there go on foot up the trail to the cave, where they would eat their supper and then wail tor the moon to come out before coming home. Oh. what a horse! Did he have to make scrambled eggs of her? IT torses at the riding academy at least treated her with some respect, but oh! lie motion! Her head seemed in the middle of her shoulders, but \ou u . tell. At last—here they were.

Just as the last bite was finished a drop of rain hit her check. I : ;i more came. A hurried consultation was held. The boys hurried down to cover ti and would try to get back before the storm broke. The girls went into ;iie little cave to wait. Spooky—this waiting in a damp, nightmarish cave. Sudden peals of thunder coming right into the cave. The boys had evidently been forced to wait until after the storm was over to come back. Nothing to do but wait. “Sue, where did this cave get its name of Cloud Cave?” "Well, years ago a beautiful maid used to meet her lover here. Her family discovered it and determined to stop it. The next night the girl came as usual. She heard her lover come just as the moon came out from behind the clouds. Too late she saw her father raise the fatal gun. Tn tragic despair she rushed down the trail, missed her footing and plunged down into the river below. Tn the lovers’ memory they called their trysting place ‘Cloud Cave’, because if the moon had been hidden by the clouds the lover might never have been killed.” ‘‘How romantic! But oh. Sue, the storm is over. Let’s start down. Oh, here the boys are. Now we can go.” “What? Race me down. All right. Here I go.” Now if I can just keep this up. Whatever is that horrible noise? Why look! Why look! Sue and the boys had to stop for something and . . the path is gone! Good heavens. The storm must have loosened the dirt . . . I’m the only one on this side. I'll have to go for help. “Sue, oh Sue! I'll go down for help! You and the boys might as well make Sue, where are you; yourselves com Good heavens, she went too near the edge and . . . there she is caught on a tree just below the trail! “Oh, Sue—are you hurt?

My Dog Today, as I went for a walk, Feeling gay and free, My dog came romping up the road And trotted 'long with me. The sun shone bright, my spirits rose. I breathed the sweet spring air. Forgetting long grey winter days, Laying aside all care. Mv dog is what the world calb dumb; He cannot talk or reason. But in the Spring he brings to me More gladness for the season. Throughout the long, dark winter nights He guards our house—and me. So in the Spring, when his work’s done lie’s more than a pal, you see. We wandered along, my clog and I, Then he left me and ran—ever faster— But I knew he’d come back, for I love him you know, As for me—well lie’s fond of his master. Peggy Bernard, ’35. A Trusting Soul TNTO a small town bank marched a young man of five. Pie walked straight to the cashier’s window and stated his case. "I want to borrow a nickel,” be demanded clearly. The cashier was somewhat dumbfounded, but seriously produced a piece of paper and formally inquired for how long a period the boy would desire the loan. The lad replied that he would pay it back the next clay and at the cashier’s request, signed his name, Dennv, to the slip of paper just filled out. Promptly at the same hour the next day, Denny again entered the bank, this time with a friend as witness, and plunked his nickel clown at the cashier’s window. The cashier accepted it, tore up the note, and Denny left the bank, contented and full of faith. Dorothy Furnish, ’35. I ! '• ! �I THE DELPHIC 32 The Match Family * I ' HERE were now only five left in the once very large match family, but these five had always been at the bottom of the household and were the oldest and therefore considered themselves the best. They were now living in a little tin house in the pocket of a hunter. Let us listen to their conversation. "Junior, what are you crowding clear off in that corner for? I declare you are the littlest thing I have ever seen. All your brothers and sisters were as large as the average person in the match family and just look at you! One would think you had been broken right in two. Well, thank goodness, you have been able to keep your head about you. anyway.” "Mamma.” said little Junior in reply to what his mother had just said, "what would ever happen if I lost my head? I guess I just wouldn’t he good for anything. I would just be like the old saying, ‘not worth setting fire to.’ Because of my size probably no one will ever give me a chance to show that I can keep my head and do mv duty. But wait, mamma—here comes the landlord of this lovely home to !.ake another one of our happy family away and I am afraid that this is one of those days when we all lose our heads.” "Well. Junior, it looks as if T am the one to show my skill today,” cried little Diamond as she was pulled from her home in a most brutal manner. This landlord was a very cruel person for when he took members of the match family out of their fine home he always struck them and if they lost their heads or broke down he would throw them on the ground and mumble to himself hut il they managed to keep their heads and flare up at him lie would he very pleased. lint wait—what has happened to Diamond? She has lost her head, poor child, and now Lion is going to try to uphold the family motto—"Always Flare L'p. Oh—what can be the matter? There goes Lion, but Mrs. Match had always said that you could never depend upon Lion for anything. Listen to poor little Junior now— "Oh! Mamma, they arc taking you now and there will only be papa and T here. What shall we do? But look at Papa; he has fallen out and now the landlord won’t even give him a chance. Please Mamma, do your best to hold up the family tradition because I am such a little fellow that the man will probably not give me a chance either.” But alas! Poor Mamma lost her head and there was no one left hut poor little Junior and how sad he is. But look! The landlord has just snatched Junior out of his warm house and how angry he seems at such a stupid family. Junior is very tense waiting for the landlord to strike him and at last it comes—and—and ves, he does. Junior kept his head. Hurrah! the match family motto has been saved by little Junior who kept his head and remembered to "Always Flare Up.” Peggy Carleton, '35. A Boarder’s Best Friend rT"'HE first to greet me with a smile in the morning is my best friend. She is really JL what one would call a true comrade. She never runs into the bathroom in the morning to grab my wash basin before I can get there. She never talks behind my back about my faults, even though she docs know more about me than anyone else ; for to her I confide my innermost thoughts. When I have a headache, she doesn’t annoy me by singing. When I have a cold, she doesn't stay away from me as though I were afflicted with the plague. When I receive candv. she doesn’t barge in and ask for my favorite kind. Though she never has any money of her own. she doesn’t want to borrow from me. She doesn’t ask to wear my new dress or my new shoes. The only way I can account for her perfection, is the fact that she is a Scottie dog and her name is Dynamite.

She awoke the next morning and realized that he was lost to her. Nothing could console her: all around the house were memories. She could hear him speaking and his eyes haunted her night and day. His special pillow was in its correct corner on the divan. She sat bv the hour and rested in the corner opposite. Her mother and father worried and fretted about her. Nothing they could do or bring her seemed to hold her interest. But one day he returned. He entered the front door with a woebegone air. He was unkempt and bedraggled, but glad to be home. He was unsure of his welcome, too. She was sitting in his corner when he entered. And then he spoke! She jumped and gladly gathered him into her arms. He tried to show his apprecia­ tion but only succeeded in attracting the attention of the other members of the family. They came joyfully. "He’s come back!” she exclaimed happily. And be echoed her happiness with a shrill bark. Jeanne Latourette, '35. l! : ' II ; i i l! : i I ■ 1 •ii; II ) n ! il The Mouse in Our House There is a little mouse Who lives between our walls.

I can’t understand him at all. He opens his mouth very wide when he talks, and nearly always speaks distinctly, but incoherently.

All together, the three more truly resembled over-ripe plums! His rather corpulent figure rendered a most assuring, confident air. and, in short, he was the best specimen of a sound yet light-hearted individual. His shabby ap­ pearance was taken care of by the elegant carriage of his very round head and his pompous stride. His large vocabulary did indeed suit his physical "build up’’, which, by the way, was entirely essential to his means of existence. He was constantly humming a tune with the greatest air of gentility; except, of course, while passing the counting-house! He was light-hearted on the whole, with nothing to worry about but his numerous debts; and though lie was not beyond a few miserable hours of hard, heart-rending wails, he soon lifted himself up to a great height of ecstasy on the revelation that he could always come through the back door when the creditors were hounding and pounding at the front, lie considered himself in the height of elegance and with a true oratorical instinct! He was alway sure that something was bound to turn up the next day and his happy-go-lucky outlook on life was not even marred by the precarious position once occupied in prison because of his I.O.U.’s. But this, however, all ended very well and his merry soul and twinkling eyes were none the duller through the passing of many years of patient waiting and expectation. Mary Justine Gilbert, ’38.

Seven more hours and I would be home once more, where I could get up at noon, and drink as much tea as I liked! Then, like the breaking of some great reservoir or the ominous thundering of a devastating monsoon came the snores of the man above me. Poor fellow, -he must have been cursed with Saint Vitus dance, for he bounded with the agility of a young and sprightly mountain goat from one side of the bed to the other. At other times he seemed to be trying to find out whether his feet were paralyzed or not; for he thumped them vigorously up and down ; whereupon I put my fingers in my ears and tried to concentrate on the beauty of night, especially in the semi-arid spaces, and seven cinnamon rolls I intended to consume for breakfast. But. alas! it was no use, for the good fellow was either a dope fiend or was mentally deficient, for he played golf in a loud voice, and strong language. After that he was much more subdued, or so I hoped, and only snored mildly. But no, my lucky >t;> was always a dark one, and he then began to play bridge and, from what I could gather, it was certainly quite a game. Again I tried to disconnect my thoughts, but finally decided to consult my watch (it has worked only spasmodi­ cally since 1 sat on it) and saw, to my horror, that it was almost two-thirty in the gray of the morning. My elevated friend had now ceased his enlightening conversation and was fit­ fully rolling over and over as though he were a billiard ball, yet always stayed in his berth, luckily for me! To judge from the noise he was making he must have weighed at least fourteen hundred pounds. At the moment I thought that I should have hated to meet him in a hand-to-hand struggle, for he seemed to consist mainly of muscle. Then as the porter shook my nerveless body, he impressed me with the fact that it was six-thirty. As 1 emerged sleepily from my so-called sleeping quarters, I observed from under my touscled mop of hair a small dapper gentleman, monocle in eye, sitting fully dressed, on the edge of his berth. He could only have weighed about a hundred pounds, and he seemed very timid and subdued. Gadzooks! Had I known that, I would have dealt with the man at once, and got a good night’s rest.

There are cherry trees planted all around the lake which shines like a huge mirror when the air is still. But as a fresh gust of wind comes along, it whips up into little white caps as if dancing with the breeze. The two downy white swans glide easily along on the water, arching their necks and looking down at their images as if to say. "Do you not think we are beautiful?” The cherry blossoms that had fallen on the lake float along like little boats. As dusk falls the swans tuck their heads under their wings and the wind stirs the old pine which stands like a sentinel towering over the lake. On one of the high branches a wise old owl winks solemnly as he watches the quiet scene below.

I've told you everything there is to tell. Now let me see.” answered Grandma as she paused and thought a moment. “Well, when I was a little girl.” she began, “the most important events of the year were the dances and the fair. My Mother told me I was too young to go to the dances, but 1 never missed a fair. “The fair usually began June 12 and it was June 1 when I received my in­ vitation to a dance from the boy who lived on the next farm. This was the first time that I had ever been invited by a boy: and. on this occasion. Mother bought me a pale blue dress with real lace and blue and pink rosebuds. My. it was pretty!

They all looked with envy at my store-made dress, too! “We -aw the sword swallower and the fire eater and many others.

Couldn’t it be mended?” inquired Heather hastilv. "Yes. i believe it could.” Grandma replied. “Do you suppose I could wear it? Wouldn’t it just about fit me?” asked Heather with eagerness. "Yes, 1 have it packed away in a trunk in the attic,” said Grandma. "Mary Jane asked me to her costume party, and I would like to wear vour dress if I may," said Heather to her grandmother. The time flew as if on wings, and it wasn't long before Heather found herself sitting in Mary Jane’s living room arrayed in the pale blue dress. They played all sorts of games, and as Heather was exhausted, she sat down on a chair. She arose hurriedly as the next game was beginning. In doing so, she caught her dress, and instead of being angry, she just laughed and said, "I’ve often heard that history repeats itself.” Betty Gunderson, ’40.

Susanna Rogers lived with her uncle and his tog. Tinker. At least she had until that terrible letter arrived. It was from her Aunt May. It had invited Susanna to spend the months of June and July with her at her beautiful estate at Sunset Lake. “All off for Sunset Lake! All off for Sunset Lake!’’ Susanna stood up, startled. As she stepped off the bus she noticed a small dog trotting wearily up the steep hill. "Here pup, here pup. Come here.” The small dog quickened his pace. As it drew nearer she could see it more distinctly. It seemed to her then that her heart skipped a beat. For it was Tinker! "Oh, Tinker! How did you get here?” Tinker looked up into her eyes as if he were trying to tell her but couldn’t. The door of the big house opened and a cheery “Welcome” came from her Aunt. “Oh! Aunt May, Uncle John's dog followed me all the way. Would you keep him till I go home ?” “Of course. I wouldn't for ten boxes of candy turn such a sweet little dog out.” (Aunt May was very fond of candy.) Two weeks later a telegram came from the little cottage in the lane. It said Uncle John would arrive there at two o’clock the following afternoon. And may I assure you that Sue and Tinker were anxiously waiting for someone at two o’clock the following afternoon.

A return game with Washington was played on their floor March 1st. This was one of the hardest and most exciting games of the season with Washington ahead in the first half, but the Hall team gained rapidly. Washington had a strong fighting team and was determined to win, but the game ended in a tie of 34-34. ST. HELEN’S HALL vs. ST. MARY’S ACADEMY The game was played on our floor on February 20th. Both teams were out to win and showed excellent sportsmanship. St. Mary's proved to be the stronger team and won with the score of 27-36. A return game with St. Mary’s was played at Shattuck School, March 22nd. It was a hard fought game, but St. Mary’s still proved the stronger team and won with the score of 32-15. �'• ; THE DELPHIC ; 43 Coach’s Impressions Maryalice Enos, Captain, has shown outstanding loyalty, interest, and effort, has made an excellent leader, and, in addition, gives many a guard a difficult run. It is with regret that we sec Maryaliee graduate. Dorothea James can outstand (both in height as well as in fame) many an oppo­ nent, and both as guard and as center she has proved invaluable. Marjorie Kernan is everywhere at once, and as side center her passes and her teamwork added to her speed have made her a precious part of the team. Marjorie is a Freshman, we are happy to say. Ai.k>: Freeze is a steady, hard-working center whose cooperation with Marjorie has been outstanding and whose sure passes and reliable teamwork have sent many a ball into the hands of the forwards. Byri. Browne is, as any forward will tell you, very hard to lose. She is constantly ; her 'post and is quick and strong in her game. Srs.w \\ I has made a good start in this, her Freshman year, and has made many a goal for St. Helen’s. With speed and experience, Susan has a fine future in basketball. Bin i v I. i Korerts is extremely fast and very responsive in the game. With more practice she would be a brilliant player. Hki.en Stone, also a forward, is an excellent shot. Here is another Senior. Ruth Richardson is a Junior and has another year to cause the forwards no little worry. Ruth has unlimited energy and perseverance in her game. Peggy Krlmp.ein has speed, and that is what a side center.needs. Peggy is going to be a fine juggler soon, too. M wine I lowe has a pivot which we wish that the entire team might acquire, and it causes her opponent at side center considerable difficulty. Peggy Bernard is nearly always ready to receive her passes in the forward terri­ tory and is calm and effective in shooting. Frances Haworth is an industrious guard, a faithful player, and good material. Frances has two more years. Phyllis Natwick is a very vigorous player and a fine guard. She has energy and ability. Laddie Green is a center with a good eye for passes and a high jump. Anita Cadonau has been a faithful player and has played side center the majority of the time. Anita stays close to her opponent and has her eye on the ball. Mary McCrea is reliable and sure as forward and can be counted on in shooting. She has practiced well and is becoming a fine player. Yvonne Shepherd can keep a forward well guarded, and with practice and atten­ tion she will make a fine guard. Lillian Brooke is another good guard who can pass well and keep the forward well covered. Lillian has been constant in attendance at practices as well. The team as a whole is made up of fine players who have unlimited possibili­ ties, individually and as a group. The most important factor in a team of six is co­ operation and the time-worn expression, teamwork. The basketball squad has worked hard, in the majority, and has shown remarkable sportsmanship and cour­ age in spite of several defeats. The prophecy for next year is a team with passes and tactics which will prove effective against the hardest opponents, and the pros­ pect of 1935-36 is most optimistic for the team.

September 7 The Boarders spent a delightful week-end at the Everglade, where they launched the canoes and boats for the first time this season. They also enjoyed swimming in the cool refreshing water. September 26 Amidst a great deal of laughter and excitement the new girls were initiated into the life of the Hall. This was at our Old Girl-New Girl party. Bright and original costumes were seen everywhere, while a large quanity of cider, doughnuts and apples was disposed of. October 5 Alpha Theta gave a rush tea again this year at the home of one of the mem­ bers. Six girls were pledged into the organization. October 24 The annual faculty tea was given, at which the Juniors and Seniors helped serve and introduce the parents to the teachers. October 31 A Hallowe’en dance at Hill was attended by the Boarders and a number of the Day dodgers. Ah! we found fortune tellers there, who looked into our future, and altogether, everyone seemed to have a very enjoyable time. November 2 Today the first edition of our school paper, “The Blotter", appeared, and was sold in large numbers. November 21 The Days proved to be the champion volley-ball players of the school, for they defeated the Boarders three games out of five. November 28 Let’s dance! The first Student Body dance was a great success, since there was an unusually large number present. Prizes were given to the best dancers. November 28 Our Thanksgiving holidays arrived, and we were all looking forward to a turkey dinner, and a few days of good times. �I 50 THE DELPHIC December 14 Instead of the usual Christmas Cantata, the Boarders presented a beautiful “Christmas Mystery Play”, to which a number of the Day Dodgers were invited. Afterwards in the dormitories—hilarity, food and fun in abundance. December 18 We welcomed the beginning of the eagerly awaited Christmas holidays, which are exceptionally long this year. December 22 Today we gave a Christmas party for the children of the Fruit and Flower Mission. Refreshments were served and each child received a toy. They all had the time of their lives. January 8 My! how time does fly! Here we are at school again. Vacation memories still linger, but nevertheless, we are glad to be back. January 18 Our team defeated the Junior College today in the first basket-ball game of the year. The score was 25-18. January 21 Why did everyone show such a sudden spurt of great industriousness today ? Well, we know. Dear old exams began to spread their little havoc in our minds. February 1 Oh! Oh! The team lost the game with Madeleine 32-23. Better luck next time. February 8 The Alpha Thetas decided to be different and give a Buffet supper instead of another tea. The newly initiated members, especially, took great pleasure in se­ lecting six new pledges. February 13 Our girls were victorious in a basket-ball game with Washington High School. The score, 41-37. We heard Mr. Edward O. Sisson of Reed College give us an interesting account of the life and the character of Abraham Lincoln. February 14 This was an eventful day for many of us, since Sister Superior arranged a trip to Salem for us. We watched the process of passing bills in both of the State Houses, and were introduced personally to Governor Martin. February 20 Alas! Though they fought valiantly, the team lost to St. Mary’s, 32-23. Today Miss Christine Larsen, who is instructor of the nurses at the Good Samaritan Hospital, talked to us on the training and opportunities in the nursing vocation. If any of the future Hall graduates are nurses we will know that her address helped to inspire them. �-V m : 1 THE DELPHIC 51 ■ February 22 The annual track meet was held at Hill Military Academy, to which the Hall girls were invited. : I ■ ; i February 23 Another Student Body dance! To the rythmic strains of the orchestra we all had a splendid time. The dance hall was decorated in the patriotic red. white, and blue. - March 1 The most exciting game of the year look place today. The good old team held its own against Washington, and the score was a tie, 34-34. ! March 11-15 Many of the music lovers enjoyed the operas which were presented this week at the civic auditorium. The favorite operas seemed to be “Aida” and "Madame Butter flv". i! March 14 \\V were honored today by having with us the Right Rev. James DeWolf Ferry, who is the Presiding Bishop of the Church. He preached an extremely interesting sermon to us in the college chapel. '['(might the Boarders sang in the choir at the mass meeting which was held at Trinity church. We again heard the Presiding Bishop preach. ■ March 15 Holiday spirit is in the air, for our spring vacation begins today, and is just in time to save us from that well-known spring fever. March 22 I he return game with St. Mary’s was played. To our great disappointment our team was defeated. March 27 A most interesting address was given today in the college assembly hall. Mr. Burt Brown Barker, who is the vice-president of the University of Oregon, talked to us on the social customs of Japan. We learned many unusual facts about the Japanese. March 29 Our basket-ball season ended triumphantly when we defeated Madeleine 29-14. April 9 Dr. Aurelia Henry Reinhardt, who is president of Mills College, gave us a splendid lecture on “This Modern World, a Student’s World”. April 26 Before it was too late the Boarders had their dance, and although only radio music was available, they all had a marvelous time. �PPvc- ■ pi** Si* :• •• • mp ,}&*?

Old Girl-New Girl Party i I Amidst color and merriment the Old Girls gave their annual party for the New Girls on September twenty-sixth. Displayed in the grand march were many original and intriguing costumes which made it extremely difficult for the teachers, who were the judges, to make a decision. After a brief pause, Frances Corfe, dis­ guised as a lighthouse, was awarded the first prize. Yvonne Shepherd, masquerad­ ing as Rip Van Winkle, was the recipient of the second prize. The third prize went to Jean Littlepage and Carolyn Kamm. who were impersonating the Campbell's Soup children. The rest of the evening’s entertainment was supplied by the initiation of the new girls and teachers, after which the evening was concluded with dancing and refreshments. . . a I m Christmas Mystery Play On the evening of December sixteenth the Boarders presented, in place of their annual Cantata, a Mystery Play in the auditorium. The leading parts were taken by Mary Helen Pruitt, Yvonne Shepherd, and Erma Darling. It was thor­ oughly enjoyed by all those who were present. Various day-students were guests of the boarders to spend the night and partook of an array of enticing refresh­ ments. Symphony and Opera A number of the girls attended the Portland Symphoy and Steers and Coman Concert Scries for the 1934-1935 season. Included in the series were Daliez Frantz. Roland Hayes, Mary Garden, Lawrence Tibbctt, Virginia Le Rae, John Charles Thomas, and the Ballet Russe. The San Carlo Opera Company which was in Portland from March eleventh to the sixteenth drew the interest of many of the girls. The operas which seemed to be the most popular in the estimation of many were ‘‘Madame Butterfly”, "Aida", and "Faust". Student Body Dances Soft lights and sweet music, rendered by Hovt Philips’ orchestra, ushered in the first Student Body Dance of the year on Friday evening. November twentythird. For the evening St. Helen's Flail was transformed into a modern Indian Tepee. Nancy Alber and Bill Neill, dancing to a melodious waltz, won the prize dance. On Saturday night, February twenty-third, the second Student Body Dance was given, carrying out the idea of Washington’s Birthday with red, white and blue decorations. To the swaying music of Jeb Goodell’s orchestra, Jean Rankin and Don Sutherland won the prize dance. I! ■ �•I I ■ 52 THE DELPHIC April 27 The Junior class gave a bridge tea style show, at which stylish and attractive clothes were modeled by a number of the Juniors. Delicious refreshments were served during the display. May 1 Today Father Delaunay of Portland University gave a thoroughly interesting talk on school life in India. The Boarders had the time of their lives today, for Sister Superior gave them a surprise party. After a long scenic drive on the Columbia River highway, they came to Viewpoint Hotel where they had supper. Afterwards Sister showed them an amusing movie called "Young April". May 9 The May Fete proved to be one of the outstanding events of the Student Body activities. Mary Kathryn Shoemaker was crowned queen, and she was attended by six princesses and Laddie Green as master of ceremonies. May IS The Seniors attended the Alumnae Tea today and were received into the Alumnae Association. June 1 A balmy June night, a romantic moon, and the melodious tunes of the orches­ tra all helped to make our Junior Prom perfect. Only the thought of our leaving made our hearts a little heavy. June 2 Our Baccalaureate Sunday passed with the usual sentimental sadness on the part of the Seniors. The sermon was given at Trinity church, and afterwards a picnic lunch was served in the gymnasium. The unveiling of the Senior class pic­ ture then took place, and the Delpiiics were given out. Everybody was kept busy the rest of the day getting them autographed. June 3 This year the Senior class presented a Shakesperean play. “A Midsummer Night's Dream”. The girls showed unusual dramatic ability and the Greek cos­ tumes gave a very lovely effect. June 4 Commencement! This was one of the greatest events of our lives, and although the Seniors were happy that they had at last reached their goal, they were sad­ dened by the thought of bidding their last farewell to St. Helen’s Hall.

April twenty-sixth, in the auditorium. Music for the party was furnished bv the radio. Because this party was the first to follow the Lenten Season, it was received with great enthusiasm by all who were there. Junior Bridge Style Show A bridge style show was given on the afternoon of April twenty-seventh by the Junior Class. The first part of the afternoon was spent in playing bridge, and attractive prizes were presented to those having the highest scores. While tea was being served, many beautiful gowns and ensembles from Bartholomew Dress Shop were modelled by the Misses Nancy Alber, Cathryn Collins. Marion Condon. Verna Lee Franklin. Barbara Jones, Marguerite Peters, Betty Lou Roberts, and Ruth Rose Richardson. Everglade During the year many enjoyable weekends were spent at Everglade. Outdoor activities included swimming, canoeing, tennis, and hiking. Ping-pong, billiards, story-telling, and dancing afforded entertainment to the girls in the evenings. Before retiring, the girls frequently raided the kitchen to prepare a light lunch. We are sure that the girls who arc leaving the Hall will miss the freedom and restfulness of those weekends at Everglade. Junior-Senior Prom After four memorable years together, the Seniors attended the Junior Prom, their last dance as students of St. Helen’s Hall. The dance was given on Saturday evening, June first, in the auditorium, which was cleverly and artistically deco­ rated. Although the Seniors were a little saddened with the thought of leaving, the bright and colorful formals and sweet strains of music made their last evening at the Hall a pleasant one.

The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. 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.

The senior class of 1934 felt this lack of self-government, therefore, under its supervision the student body was originated and has become a permanent addition to our school activities. Much of the credit for the success of our experiment should go to Dorothy Hill, first Student Body President, and to Peggy Osborne, our present President. Under their direction we have enjoyed monthly entertainments, dances, and benefit parties. �DELPHIC STAFF 1933-1934 Editor-in-Chief Gretchen Smith Literary Editor Betty Watkins Assistant Literary Editor Peggy Bernard Calendar Old Girl Notes Athletics Exchanges Music and Entertainment Sally McCune, Wahnita Mills Jean Moir Ruth Smith Ruth Johnson, Betty Pownali .

PROPHECY ; OF THE SENIOR CLASS "^V^HILE sitting in my lonely study a few short nights ago, w I wondered if ten years would fly or if it would seem slow. Unconsciously I fell to thinking of this curious thing And soon discovered I could fathom what passing years would bring. II First, across my mind there pass, alighting from a gurney, Betty Baker and husband "four” on their wedding journey. m Helen Jenkins I recall. "At what is she most able?” Imagination sees her managing her livery stable. li Other pictures swiftly fly across my shadowy stage. Jean Moir, now leader of a band, draws a princely wage. Gretchen Smith bears well the honors greatness brings her way, And to her well-earned fame she adds new laurels every day Edith Kolhase? ’Tis many a year since classmates saw her face. A Duke’s undoing was her French; so in Paris lives Her Grace. ■ hi II Glaisyer’s sunny face does smile upon her audience As they watch her with her lions, in horror and suspense. Beeze and Sally live together and share each other’s labors; They drink their tea and pet their cats and talk about their neighbors. A; Wahnita stands upon a corner with a tambourine; A kind Salvation lassie is she. with her lovely mien. Margaret’s fulfilled her youthful promise—an artist great is she. She draws a charming baby cart, holding her youngest three. "I'd rather be right than president,” Peggy used to say. She’s president of the Waiters’ Union. Has she had her way? A mighty speaker I encounter, master of men’s hearts, Our old schoolmate, Billie Reynolds, selling apple tarts. And Marty Burkhart, good old dame, is now a farmer’s wife. She feeds the pigs and milks the cows and leads the "simple life.” "Only standing room!” I hear; while the crowd does wildly call. I stop, intrigued by the commotion, and find the star’s Pownall. "What is Jobes’ profession now? Whatever does she do?” "Esther teaches,” comes the answer, "Latin at the U.” Doctor Watkins—says a sign. Then at a speed quite dizzy, The doctor drives up to the door, and I recognize our Lizzie. Grace as a missionary went to a cannibalistic nation And made just seven courses for their jubilee collation. ! ! Ruth Johnson, champion of her sex, upholder of their rights, Splendid star of the rostrum, shines above the lesser lights. Here is Dot on her vacation from the cares of state As president of this great nation, on the New Deal slate. A lone maid, Jean Bay, has wealth to make the heart rejoice. She thought all the boys so handsome, she ne’er could make a choice. Teachers, juniors, all the classes, sped through my fitful dream, And then I wondered if in life all things are what they seem. Ruth Smith, ’34. �I I 3 SENIOR CLASS WILL ^77E, THE CLASS OF 1934, possessed of a sound mind and sounder judgment, as has been the custom of our predecessors, do hereby, with aching hearts, solemnly draw up our last will and testament for those whom we leave behind.

It is, indeed, a pleasure to feel that, after our Matins service, we have begun the day with God’s blessing. The idea of beginning the school day with an appropriate morning service seems to lend an entirely different tone to our whole day’s work. We cannot help realizing, as we enter Chapel, wearing our veils—the organ softly playing—the cross going on ahead—how beautiful and symbolic is the picture. It is a pleasant thought that then, when we are all together, the true spirit of St. Helen’s Hall is with us. For, as we all know, the spirit of religious guidance is one of the fundamental prin­ ciples of St. Helen’s Hall. It is the realization of God’s eternal love and protection that means much in all our lives. As we, the class of 1934, leave the Hall and go out into the world, may that spirit ever be with us, shining around us throughout the years to come—the true spirit of Esther Jobes, ’34. Sc. Helen’s Hall. �j A SHORT RESUME OF THE HISTORY OF ST. HELEN'S HALL "St. Helen s Hall was established originally as Spencer Hall in Milwaukee in 1861. It was opened as St. Helen’s Hall in Portland in 1869 '—Quoted from the Seventh Annual Convention Report, 1895. OPENCER HALL was named for a Captain Spencer, who gave a generous sum for ^ establishing the school. His niece, Catherine Wolfe, contributed to the founding and maintenance of St. Helen’s Hall a little later on. The growth and development of the Hall is the outcome of the seed of faith planted and nurtured by Bishop B. Wister Morris and his sister-in-law sixty-five years ago, just a few years after the settlement of Portland itself. The early history of the school is indeed interwoven with that of the city as a whole. The ground upon which this original school was built was secured through the liberality7 of Mr John D. Wolfe and his daughter, Catherine, of New York City. St. Helen's Hall, with. Miss Mary B. Rodney as the principal, was opened September 6, 1869, on the site wluiv the present City Hall stands. She was educated at St. Mary’s Hall in Burlington, New Jersey, and her idea was to found a St. Mary’s on the west coast. After she arrived, however, she found a Roman Catholic Convent by the same name well established in (his oty, so she decided to name the school after the Mother of Constantine the Great who was converted to Christianity by him. This, coupled with the fact that the great snow peak, St. Helen, overlooked the city as a sentinel, settled the question of the name. The school progressed, blessed from the beginning, and for twenty-one years was main­ tained in its original location. By 1890 Portland had become a large city. St. Helen's Hall was too much in the heart of the business section and, as the site was wanted for the City Hall, it was sold. Property was then secured on Vista Avenue—much against the comments and criticism of those who felt that it would then be too far out in the country and quite inaccessible for day students. Bishop Morris went right ahead, however, and laid the corner stone on June 9, 1890, with the same faith and courage as before. At this time, the school offered primary, grammar, and high school grades. A little later on Miss Rodney felt this was not sufficient, and a course was added which corresponded to the modern post-graduate or collegiate courses. This advanced work has always been the aim of St. Helen's Hall. Miss Mary B Rodney died April 15, 1896, and the work was carried on by her sisters, the Misses Lydia and Clementina Rodney, until the close of the school year. The next year Miss Eleanor Tebbetts became the principal until January, 1904, when, by the request of the Board of Trustees, the Community of St. John Baptist took charge of the school. In 1914 the St, Helen's Hall historic building was practically destroyed by fire. It was deemed inadvisable to attempt to rehabilitate the edifice, and it was later razed to the ground. Preparations were made for carrying on the work of the gymnasium in an adjoining block was utilized, and housed the few boarding students, as Bishop Scadding spring and Bishop Sumner had not yet come to the the school. For temporary quarters "Bishopcroft" on Portland Heights had passed to his rest the previous Diocese. School opened September 13 for the regular fall term, the classes meeting in the gymnasium. After Bishop Sumner came to the Diocese, the Boarding Department moved to old "Bishopcroft” on 19th and Everett streets, and after various vicissitudes, arrange­ ments were made in 1918 to move the school to the present site, the old Portland Academy. The building was rented till 1920, and, although it was purchased then as a permanent home for the school, the large mortgage on it was not cancelled till March 4, 1927. ! s �I As the school grew, the first crying need was for a separate building for the lower school, as the rooms they occupied were really needed by the overflowing high school. There also was needed a place for the entertainments, as the plays had to be given in our open-air gymnasium, regardless of the weather, and dances were given in the study hall This meant unscrewing desks and chairs, a big piece of work. So a combination building to house the Lower School and to take care of all entertainment was erected. This proved more than satisfactory for two years, and then again we had to enlarge the assembly hall No sooner had we gotten all this to our satisfaction than we found ourselves confronted with the necessity of enlarging our post graduate work. 'll 1 V A new ruling was made by the University of Oregon that no credit would be given for any post graduate work in any school after 1931, so it was decided in August. 1932 to start a Junior College. i This new venture was so favorably received in the city that the next school year we had to close our Freshman enrollment for lack of room. The Lower School building had to be given over to the College, and again, room for the children had to be made in the high school building, thereby causing much overcrowding. Again we were faced with building or giving up the college. Thus on December 28 ground was broken for the new College wing, and when the girls returned from Spring Vacation. March 19. the building was ready for occupancy. On January 10, at a simple ceremony, attended by the faculty, student bodv. and members of the Board of Trustees, Bishop Sumner turned the first official spade of earth for the College chapel. By a stronge coincidence, Mary Janelle, who acted as Hag bearer during the ceremony, is the daughter of Mrs. J. A Janelle, who attended the laying of the cornerstone of the former St. Helen’s Hall, then situated on Vista Avenue and St Clair Street, in 1890 by Bishop B. Wister Morris. i •i This beautiful new chapel was opened with a special service at which Bishop Sumner gave a short address, giving the keynote, so to speak, of this new venture. The College offers a liberal arts course, and the majority of students pursue the general curriculum in arrangement of courses based on this principle, that their first two years should be devoted to obtaining a broad foundation of work in languages, literature, science, the social sciences, and the two schools of Journalism and Home Economics. i The building has five science laboratories, stage and work room, large recreation hall, executive offices, class and conference rooms, a college chapel and an assembly hall. In this chapel we are putting a memorial window for Miss Mary Rodney from funds collected for this purpose. The chapel holds the entire college and is being enthusias­ tically welcomed. Last but not least, there is a large library extending all across the north end of the building, beautifully lighted and with a very useful and attractive gallery. In this gallery we have put our small but valuable Rodney Memorial library as a nucleus for future gifts. IH i ; I i i i !! N i This further development of the school enables it to extend its fields of usefulness. St. Helen s Hall has been an important factor in the educational life of Oregon, and the Junior College, the demand for which was so strongly manifested, is an example of that importance. This added department is not in competition with the higher educa­ tional institutions, but is supplementary and auxiliary to them. Our beautiful Lake Oswego place, secured three years ago for recreational purposes for the school, is also much enjoyed by the college students. It is not strange that this property, which was originally part of the seventy acres owned by the Diocese under Bishop Scott in 1856, was sold by him for less than we paid for our beautiful but small lots, because he considered the property but a wilderness which would never be developed. j ; We are hoping in the spring to have the formal function of the laying of the corner stone, and as we are using the original stone of 1890, which ties up the present history of the school with its historic past, we trust that we shall have with us on that occasion many of the alumnae and others of all the classes from the beginning. Fi § Iill ; 11 < �3 E EDITORIAL 'SSJ7E, THE CLASS OF 1934, stand with eager feet, ready to step into the future which holds for us so much—or so little. And perhaps it is because we suddenly realize that no more as students may we wander happily through these familiar halls that a seriousness steals over us. We look anxiously back into the years that we are leaving behind. Have we appreciated our opportunities? Have we realized the true importance of each day's offerings? A half fear takes possession of us, for at last we know that it is for this unknown and mysterious future into which we must step that the Sisters and the faculty of St. Helen's Hall have been endeavoring so earnestly to make us ready. If only we could live the four years over again, how truly splendid they would be! This of course we cannot do, but we can say to the underclassmen, all of whom in the course of time will stand where we stand today, "Follow' not in our footsteps, but in the footsteps w'e wish, as we look longingly back, we had made." And we offer most humbly this advice: "Take up each course with a cooperative spirit. Cooperate with the instructor. It is for you she is working, not against you. See her point of view, and then work with her earnestly and cheerfully to get all the good she is trying to give ’ We say this to you because we want you, when you are seniors, to look back triumphantly over the four years you will be leaving behind. 1’ .s true that in spite of our indifference, our carelessness, our youthful lack of appreciation, the Sisters and teachers have given us much, mentally, morally, and spirit­ ually, chat will help us to keep our feet firmly on the ground when we, with other men and women, must meet the problems of life; and we wish to thank them for their patience, their unselfishness, and their understanding. And again from the bottom of our hearts, we say to those who are coming after us: "Get the right ’set up’ for the ‘radios’ of your minds and hearts, so that, when you tune in,’ the joy and wisdom which these dear old halls and class rooms hold for you will not be lost in the noise of foolish ’static’." EDITORIAL CT. HELEN'S HALL as an educational institution is not antiquated and stagnant, but ^ living and growing. From the experiences of sixty-five years, it retains only that which is useful in the educational world, and discards the useless and outworn. The school is not a field for risky experiments, but is alive to the modern tempo, which is reflected from the progressive Sisters and intelligent faculty to the receptive students. While we have attended St. Helen’s Hall during the past four years, the school has been enormously improved and enlarged. In the high school division, Alpha Theta, the school athletic club, has been formed, and the Student Body Organization has been established. A great new project, the St. Helen’s Hall Junior College, has been conceived and established during the past two years. Within these two years, a faculty has been built up, a library collected, the new building completed, and the college accredited. We who have been students of St. Helen's Hall during these years are very proud of what has been accomplished. We are happy to have attended the school during this period of creative growth. Yet growth is not unusual for St. Helen’s Hall. The girls who attend this school know that those who administer its policies are never quite satisfied with its enormous progress. They are always building, rebuilding, changing, creating. As long as this spirit predominates, St. Helen’s Hall will progress and will become an increasingly vital educational force. �:! ' i! ; BAGUIO A N ORIENTAL market place! Brilliant and noisy, seething under the tropic sun. A myriad of colors, a babble of strange tongues, a commingling of unpleasant odors —this is the Baguio market. I soon begin to distinguish separate details amidst the terrific din and the bizarre melee of the market place. Everyone has come to do his weekly shopping. Above the sounds of squealing pigs and crying children, the natives haggle over prices or exchange the latest gossip. But these natives are strange people. Most colorful among the throngs are the Igorotes, come in from the mountains, head hunters, some of them, to this day. Their squat bodies bend under staggering loads, as they hurry to and fro. They look twice as ferocious as the more numerous Tagalogs, who appear more prosperous and civilized, some of them even wearing American garments. These superior persons strut about the market place, the envy of all. Liberally interspersed among the crowd are miscellaneous, fat brown babies, who toddle about, looking exactly alike. It yet remains a mystery to me how they are distinguished from one another. Having become accustomed to these strange people, I turn my attention ro the indis criminately displayed wares offered for sale. Beside a tempting melon or box of famous Baguio strawberries, the artistic shopkeeper places a basketed pig, for sale and above the rest he arranges his most delicate orchids. The buyer is lured, according to his taste, by the pig or the flowers. Within the hot, stuffy stall is displayed everything h>r which Luzon is famous—silver and copper ornaments, carved shells and mother-of-p^.rl objects, Igorote cloth, so much in demand in our own country, and grotesquely carved statues and figurines from the mountain tribes. The last fascinate me most, although the wicked-looking bolo knives of all sizes claim some attention. My imagination makes the atmosphere suddenly ominous; so I rush back into the safety of the noise and glare and confusion. Dozens upon dozens of similar stalls compose the market. On its outskirts the poorer sellers spread their wares under the blazing sun. The brilliant colors of their wares give the effect of beds of tropical plants, suddenly sprung from the ground. As I leave the market by one of the narrow streets of picturesque Baguio, I am con­ scious of having visited an alien, truly foreign place. I go, treasuring a unique memory, for the influence of modern civilization is already creeping in—slowly, but inevitably. Sally McCune, ’34. ! i ! I , Ii i I i i II MARKET 1 I AN » S It I i 11 : I j( =1 OF A FRIEND TT WAS in nineteen hundred and thirty-one we met, just three years ago. No three years could ever bring to me a friend more dear. "Love is prone to magnify," but magnify as it may, it will never be able to reflect the true character of Helen. The depth which lies beneath her sunny smiles can be com­ prehended only through years of sincerest friendship. Robert Louis Stevenson tells us, "If we could find but one to whom we can speak but of our heart freely, with whom we can walk in love and simplicity without dissimulation, we could have no ground of quarrel with the world or God!" To me Helen is beautiful. Her whole being breathes a gentle sweetness. She lends a charm, delicate and indefinable, to all. If one is sad, she gives a tender understanding and comfort. She shares one's joys with unselfish enthusiasm—making the happiness of the occasion more radiant with her warmth. Her ideals are high, and she raises others to her standard, not by idle, useless words but by actions accordant with her ideals. I wish that all might know her as I know her, love her as I love her, "for her friendship is and always will be a light to guide me on my way." Peggy Bernard, 35. )4 _ f APPRECIATION I �ON LOVE When I consider love and its few days: A wreath of smoke that lingers in our eyes, A kiss chat burns before the passion dies, A winter sun that shines with heatless rays, A mask of pretense which our faith betrays, A spell that's quickly cast and swiftly flies And leaves us asking—hearing no replies, I wonder that we seek love’s restless ways. Oh, peace, the heritage of yester-year, The alabaster stillness Athens taught, The waves that beat eternally on the shore, The calm beyond our passion’s troubled sphere, Release us from these gusts of reckless thought, And give us of thy beauty evermore. Betty Watkins, '34. AN INDIAN LEGEND j^ONG ago, when Indians were the happy possessors of much of this western country, die Oswego Indians, after whom the town of Oswego is named, were camped on the bluffs above the lake. The chief of this tribe had a marriageable daughter, White Moon. Her father had selected for her husband, Waluga, a shrewd, sly warrior, the leader of seven i ndependent tribes. This wedding was much favored by the great chief because it would increase the size of Ins already immense clan. Tor many months it had seemed that White Moon would marry a young Indian from a far-off land whom every one knew she loved dearly. He was generally popular, but all the Indians wished White Moon to marry a man of their own tribe and to bear a son to grow up and become the successor of the Great Chief. White Moon was ordered never to see the young warrior again; so he returned with a sad heart to his own tribes, and after some months it was rumored that he had been killed in war. White Moon received the news quietly, letting no one see the sorrow that filled her heart. Days passed and preparations for the wedding with Waluga were completed. The day of the ceremony was at hand. The great group of Indians, gathered upon the cliff over hanging the lake, were con­ scious of the beauty of the night. The moon was slowly rising through the sky, and the water shimmered in its rays. The Indians danced about the fire to the music of their own singing and that of the tomtoms. In a large but somewhat smoky tent White Moon sat, receiving her last blessings from the medicine man. She was dressed in the splendor which the Indian ceremony demanded. The singing had become louder and louder, and then suddenly it stopped. The moon had reached its height, and instinctively all eyes turned toward the tent of White Moon. She had stepped from its entrance and was walking majestically toward the raised mound at the edge of the cliff. She was accompanied by several Indian maidens, walking slowly at her side. From the other direction Waluga and the Great Chief approached. Suddenly a tall Indian youth stepped from the shadows. For an instant White Moon paused; then, with a cry of joy she ran into the outstretched*arms of the young warrior. The great group of Indians sat as if spellbound, watching the lovers. And then—before any one realized what was happening—the two figures leaped hand in hand over the edge of the cliff and vanished beneath the sparkling waters. Although the Indians searched, they never found a sign of the young couple. It is a legend among the Indians that the young warrior had returned from the "Happy Hunting Ground" for White Moon and that he carried her back where they could live forever in eternal happiness.

He believed everyone to be like himself, honest, straightforward, and idealistic.. All his life he had loved and respected his father and mother. Never had he known sadness or evil. The sudden death of his father, followed by the hast)' marriage of his mother, broke down his faith in human nature. What is sadder than an idealist disillu­ sioned? What did life hold for him? He knew that it was his duty to avenge his father s murder, and at first he acted as though he might accomplish his purpose. But having lived an intellectual life, having read book after book, having thought deeply on many subjects, he could but stop to consider all angles of the case. He planned so many courses of action that he did not have the power of pursuing any particular one. In the first place, his deep moral sense made murder repulsive to him. Even though Hamlet hated Claudius for killing his father, he recoiled from avenging the murder. Hamlet had no one with whom he could talk over this terrible duty. He first turned to his love, Ophelia, but when he learned that she was a tool in the king's and Polonius’ hands, he became still more embittered. The courtiers, quite ordinary people, could not understand his motives and feelings, his scruples and hesitations. Many of them could have met a practical crisis in life much better than could this gentle idealist. Once Hamlet had shrunk from immediate action, he exhausted his imagination thinking of excuses to avoid the necessity of revenge. He feigned madness, so that he could fight out the battle with himself. It also gave him the opportunity to relieve ins troubled mind by making ironical thrusts at those whom he despised. During his pretended madness, he was thinking always of other ways of postponement. He made himself believe that he was acting wisely in proving without a doubt that the spirit which had appeared to him had accused Claudius justly. Naturally, being inter­ ested in the stage, he realized that the play was the thing wherein he would catch the conscience of the king. His plan was successful, and the obstacle of doubt was removed from Hamlet's mind. But soon after, when he had his chance to kill Claudius, while the latter was praying, he did not take it. He let this great opportunity go by, covering his weakness with his excuses. True, in the end he did kill the king with an impetuous blow. But the damage had been done. Ophelia's sad fate, the deaths of Polonius, Laertes, Gertrude, Rosencrantz, and Guildenstern were all the result of the fact that Hamlet was an idealist, a dreamer, a thinker, a planner, but not an actor. Only for Hamlet himself was the fatal blow "a consummation devoutly to be wished.” Gretchen Smith, '34. ii ; % ■i If I £ i, i ■j : 1 : =. ; \ :! =:; II =: GOING TO BED TYO YOU like to go to bed, too? I am simply choked with pleasure at the idea of a nice cold bed when there are a comfy chair, soft music, and a book to read After the set hour of 9:30 it is hard for my mother to resist the attraction of bed for me. I am told in so many words to retire before that proverbial lamb even has time to shake its tail. Even when upstairs and near my goal, I invariably think of one hundred and one last-minute details to attend to: My teeth need brushing for about the sixth time. My eyes have suddenly become tired and need to be bathed. My stockings must be washed, or I will have to go minus them the next day. And last, but not least, I must spend an hour writing in my masterpiece, my diary. My goodness! Here I am in bed at last. Ah, but wait; the light isn't out yet. I do believe the switch has caught, as it just won't pull out. Well, I might have known mother would have no trouble in pulling it i out. It's dark; a little breeze is coming through the open window and rustling the curtains; the moon is shining. I feel the nearness of the sandman; my eyes are closing; things seem to float farther away. Hum, I must ha-ve be-en sleepy af-ter a-1-1. Oh, I forgot. Mother, may I have a drink? Nancy Anne Hilton, '35: �RUNAWAYS t i AAOTHER just baked a lot of doughnuts; she shouldn’t mind losing them, cause she'll be getting rid of us kids.

How many doughnuts did you take? Five? I get another, then. Yes, I’m coming.” The sun was hot and dazzling. Not a breath of air stirred the tall grass along the road Butterflies hovered lazily over the daisies, and the bees hummed busily among the cool, red clover blossoms. After walking for half an hour, the children began to trudge falteringly and to sigh heavily. ” Evelyn." "Yes." "Aren’t you awful hot?” "Yes,” "Don’t you think it’s been two or three hours since we left?” "Yes.” "I’m awful hungry.” "So am I. Let’s stop under the next tree and eat our lunch. Oh, look! It’s going to rain! Come on; let’s run.” Two unhappy girls huddled under the oak tree, an excellent sunshade, but an impractical umbrella. The rain poured down in torrents, and they were miserably wet. Too despondent to see him, they were surprised by the appearance of a horseman, staring at them in astonishment. T.velyn, what is the meaning of this? Does Mother let you play this far from home? he asked. ’ Oh, Daddy, we were r—,’’ began Jean. "Daddy, we went out for a—for a walk, and it started to rain,” interrupted Evelyn. "Well, come with me. Evelyn, you get behind, and Jean, you here,” he said. As they ran to the horse, Evelyn whispered, "Jean, don’t you dare tell anyone we were running away!” Georgia Littlepage, ’36.

Catharine Kern, ’37. �•! |’ AN II Hi i 1 EVENING AT HOME Once upon an evening drear)', while I pondered, warm and weary, O er my History, French, and English, o’er my tales of Greece of yore, While I read of Romans battling, suddenly there came a rattling As of some one loudly knocking, knocking at my bedroom door. Tis, I vowed, "my small, bad brother, knocking at my bedroom door, Only he and no one more.’’ Sis, he called, and then repeated, "Sis, you know right well you’re needed In the kitchen down below." Then he left. I heard no more. Then indeed was I affronted, ’fronted just because he wanted Me to work my radio, which stood inside my bedroom door, Work it so that he could listen to the programs heard before. This he wanted, nothing more. To my books once more returning, thoughts of him and dishes spurning, Once more living days of old, winning fights of mud and gore, Once again was I unconscious of the dishes—so obnoxious, When again I heard him rattling, rattling at my bedroom door. "Curses!" thought I, and still wondered what he wanted at my door. "Leave!" I cried, "forever more.” "Well," I thought, "we can’t be parted" (for I always was soft-hearted), And I very sweetly opened, opened wide my bedroom door. With a loud and cheery whistle, while I scribbled this epistle, He made lots of noise and said, "Please don’t let me be a bore." But I’m deaf to all the clamor of a brother I adore. And I’m glad I have no more. (With apologies to Edgar Allen Poe) Dorothy Furnish, ’35. PENNY WHISTLE XTOISE! Crowds laughing, shouting, hurrying and bustling, enjoying every moment ^ of the noon-day rush, oblivious to the sun beating down on the cobblestones, oblivious to the dust raised by the huge vans. A siren blares forth its note of danger, and that white conveyance of precious life, watched in awed silence by the throng of pedestrians and motorists, goes on its swift journey. In the distance the long, drawn-out, melancholy warning that issues from the daily limited draws as a magnet those unfortu­ nates who are always tardy boarding trains. Bong, bong, bong, the clock high in the court-house adds its share to the din. A strident shrill blast again and again, more vocif­ erous each time, calls the relaxed workers back to their posts in the big, black factor)' Clang, clang, clang, the fire-department hurries on its way. Noise, hear, dust—everywhere confusion. In its midst stands the newsboy, as detached from the hubbub as from the rushing torrents of life described in his papers. With an expectant though slightly grubby smile, he proffers his wares to the hurrying passers-by. Only the most hard-hearted can resist his "Wouldjer loik ter buy a poiper, Mister?" The bank directors buy their daily quota; the office-girl in well-pressed black stops for her copy; the salesmen pick up their source of local information as they rush off the afternoon train. Only three papers left now! With sudden generosity a school girl buys the lot, to be rewarded by a toothless grin. The papers sold, the urchin, proud as Jupiter, goes swaggering down the street. How will he spend his profit? Practical little tyke! He goes into a bakery for a loaf of bread, baked two days ago, and then into the butcher shop for scraps of meat for stew. Past the hardware-store with its intriguing line of "bikes” and "wagons." Now away �to the grocer’s for dried onions and six large potatoes. He seems pitifully grown-up, counting his change with his tiny, capable fingers. After a longing glance at the delec­ table dainties in the sweet-shop, he enters the "five and ten." Here no boy can resist the desire to explore. Up and down., up and down he loiters, gravely gazing at the astonishing array of bargains. He meets the temptation of the fascinating display of shiny bright red, green, and blue whistles, counts his money, then shrugs his shoulders manfully and starts off with his mouth puckered in an attempt to whistle the way the big fellows do. Around the counters, looking, looking, he hesitates; but he returns, determined, to the wonderful whistles. His eyes shine with eager anticipation; he buys a red one. He can hardly wait until he will be able to unwrap it. Still practical, he saves the string, and now—"toot-de-toot, tooi-de-toot." He fondles it almost reverently, and with a little skip, he goes hippety-hopping across the street with his newly-bought toy. How proud he is of his very own whistle! Only a penny whistle, but to the newsboy Mary Alice Enos, ’35 it I- the most fascinating of his too few possessions. NOTRE DAME AS THE sun sinks over the busy city of Paris, it casts huge, weird shadows on the ** ^ stately old cathedral, Notre Dame. This cathedral looms out against the quickly fad mg sky like a huge monster above a dense forest. It towers high over the densely populated city at its feet. lor many, many centuries it has stood just as it stands today, stately, dignified, and awe-inspiring. Built over six centuries ago, it has survived wars, revolutions, and other disasters and is today the National Cathedral of France. King and peasant alike marvel at the beauty and splendor of this grand old place. Standing guard at the entrance to the cathedral are three rustic iron doors, which have resisted hate in time of need and have admitted love when it sought admission. The inside of the cathedral is gorgeous, yet as desolate as though the monster had lost its earthly soul. Perhaps the impression results from the twilight’s casting a dusky light over the church or from the immensity and loneliness of the cathedral. In the nave, Napoleon Bonaparte was crowned ruler of France, and Mary Queen of Scots was married. Several flights of narrow, steep stairs lead onto the roof of Notre Dame. There is no light except a faint golden glow that is cast on the clouds by the rapidly sinking sun. Far down are the noisy, busy streets of Paris, a world completely separated from the dark stone cathedral which casts a shadow of utter gloom upon all those who enter its realm Hundreds of leering gargoyles intensify this weird and lonely feeling. For many centuries these horrid creatures have mocked at the people in the streets below. As it becomes dark, the frightful creatures are left to dominate the roof as they have for countless centuries. Black shadows take form and creep about the deserted nave. With its immense towers, now silhouetted against the glow of the bright city light, the church seems indeed like a soulless monster. The cathedral is vividly alive and has stood for many centuries, watching the joys and tragedies of human life. So will it ever stand in all its glory and mystery'. Billie Reynolds, ’34. 1 PEACE In quietness and peace of mind I poise beside a shady tree, And in a joy of silent kind I dive. The water welcomes me, The water, clear and limpid green. With weeping willows on each side, The mossy slopes and low banks seem Like day dreams as I by them glide. Ankey Larrabde, ’37. ! L - �J u V E N I L E AUTUMN The winds of Autumn shake the trees And toss their branches in the breeze; Then drifting down upon the ground, The leaves are falling without sound To cover all the earth with gold, Until the time of winter’s cold, Betty Gunderson, Form VI. DIANE AND THE PRINCE Hr HE Hamadryads in the oak trees were all very sad one day. In fact, they were so A sad that they cried all day long. Night soon came, and Pan, a little elf, blew his tiny horn. All the little Hamadryads came out of their trees. They took hands and made a circle to dance. They soon forgot that the)' had been sad. Pan always made them happy. That night a prince came through the woods riding on a horse. He saw the little Hamadryads dancing and Pan blowing his horn. One of the Hamadryads, named Diane, was most beautiful. The Prince noticed her the first thing. He rode over and picked her up. The Prince thought that he wanted to take Diane home with him because she was so beautiful and lovely. He asked her if she would go back to the castle with him. Diane said, "I must ask Pan, our king, if I may go.” "I will ask him,” said the prince. He jumped off his horse and went over to Pan and said, "May I take this beautiful lady home with me?” "Yes,” said Pan, "but if she is going to live with earthly people, I must change her into your size.” "Are you willing?” pleaded the prince. "Yes, I am,” said the little Hamadryad. How happy they were as they rode back to the palace. The king was very much pleased to have such a beautiful bride for his son. A beautiful wedding was arranged for them, and all the people of the kingdom came. The people at the wedding thought that the new princess was very lovely. They lived very happily from then on, and Diane’s little woodland friends often came to see her. Connie Maguire, Form V. �1 MARY ANNA C^VNE starry Saturday night Mary Anna lay asleep in the ash can. Beside her lay Snook, '^'a large calico cat, with one ear missing and whiskers gone. Wake up, Mary Anna; something is coming around the bend in the alley," said Snook rather angrily. "Wake up, lazy bones." Yes, I am awake, cross patch," said Mary Anna, making her patchwork eyes roll. "Look at the spotted horse and express wagon coming in here! See, it is driven by such a strange little old man!” The express wagon drew up near the ash can, and the queer old man jumped out. He had a long red nose, a big wide mouth, and a painted cap cocked on his head. His little coat was red, and his breeches just reached the tops of his little white kid shoes. i "Oh, here you are," he said. "My name is Junk, and I have come to take you to Junkland." He- lifted them both out of the ash can into the wagon, in which there were many other dolls. Mary Anna made friends right away, for she was such a darling old rag doll. Now, if you were to go to Junkland, you would see Mary Anna making cookies in a bright kitchen and Snook fast asleep in a big cozy chair. Betty Gunderson, Form VI. THE JUNIOR ST. RED HELEN'S CROSS OF HALL HTHE Junior Red Cross is made up of boys and girls who are interested in promoting the welfare and happiness of children less fortunate than themselves. The Junior Red Cross is interested in individual suffering, particularly among children. The National Red Cross is concerned with great misfortunes such as wars, floods, and earthquakes. I was very happy as a pupil of St. Helen’s Hall to spend some of my time in helping to make Hallowe’en gifts for the Fruit and Flower Mission. Ar Thanksgiving we brought clothes and food. We enjoyed making our gifts at Christmas time. They were candy candles made of red stick candy, marshmallows, and green life savers. Toward the end of the year we will make albums for some foreign country. In it we will put pictures of Oregon and some of our school work. In return they will send us pictures of their country and some of their school work. I am now helping to make two lovely baby quilts. I hope the little children who receive these gifts will be as happy in using them as I was in helping to make them.

A ^^NCE upon a time, a long while ago there lived on earth a race of people who worshipped the Goddess, Diana, of the sun and the God, Carlan, of the moon. Goddess Diana was very vain and beautiful. She declared that she should be in the sky all the time to light the clouds. God Carlan was just as conceited. He wanted to light the sky alone and to show the people how handsome he was. Neither one would give up, so all the clock around both of them were in the sky. The light was so strong that the people’s crops dried. • ; |: 1 I IIIi I ill : I ' I 11 : IS One day a strange Goddess named Darkness came and said to them, "You, Carlon, shall not have a light of your own.

She has surprised us all by her coolness and speed in guarding her opponent. We think she will make an out­ standing guard. Nan A. Knapp, Coach. FIRST I i GAME OF THE SEASON The first game was played with St. Helen’s Hall Junior College. The Junior College showed excellent cooperation, considering the short time they have practiced together. The score was 27-7 in the Hall's favor. The College girls showed fine sportsmanship and seemed determined to break our record in a return game. ST. HELEN'S HALL VS. HOLY CHILD This game was very fast. Both teams fought hard and used their passing to advantage. Our team again won a victory with a score of 37-23. I ST. HELEN'S HALL VS. REED The girls had to work for every point. The game was smooth and speedy. As a result of the fine coaching of Mrs. Knapp, the Hall was once more victorious, the final score being 44-17. �ST. MARY'S VS. ST. HELEN'S HALL This was one of the hardest and most exciting games of the season. Each school had a team, outstanding for its defensive play and excellent passing. Both sides showed good sportsmanship The Hall won with a score of -10-34. ■ RETURN ; WITH REED Our return game at Reed was most exciting. Both schools worked hard. Reed had the stronger team, and we were defeated with a score of 28-44. This was the firsc time we had lost a game in six years. Incidentally, the last game lost was to Reed. RETURN ■ GAME GAME WITH ST. MARY'S The game was played on our floor, and, as the weather was just right for vigorous action, the match was outstanding for the good teamwork of both contestants. St. Maty’s was again defeated by a score of 39-33. i I I N APPRECIATION We, the girls of St. Helen’s Hall, wish to express our appreciation of our gym teacher, Mrs. Knapp, who for many years has been our loving friend and inspiring instructor. She has devoted unlimited time to the perfecting of our passes and baskets, and but for her untiring patience, our school could never have attained the athletic fame of which it can be truly proud. We feel that it is a privilege to work under her direction. <? VOLLEY BALL Many interesting games were played between the College and High School. They were so very closely matched in skill that the competition was exciting. Under the lead­ ership of Mrs. Knapp, the girls perfected their game. FENCING Fencing was a favorite sport this year. Many of the girls turned out with enthusiasm. Under the instruction of Mr. Knapp, the girls made much progress. Mr. Knapp arranged bouts for the championship, which was won by Ruth Smith. �SiillgPi '?TC«r*A ,/'i\ N ! it 1 Back row: Martha Burkhart, Grctchen Smith, Mary K.

February 27 Carl Sandburg, noted American writer and poet, lectures on Abraham Lincoln at the Masonic Temple. After his speech he plays a mandolin-guitar and sings some old American songs. March 1 We play a return game with Reed. This time Reed wins, 44-28. Tom Terriss, noted traveler and lecturer, talks at Benson High School. He tells of many interesting adventures in Egypt and the Orient. March 5 Reverend Taylor from the Grace Memorial Church speaks to us in the assembly hall. He describes the Cathedrals of Europe, recounting interesting legends about them and showing us some beautifully colored pictures. March 7 Dr. Parsons, director of social science research at the University of Oregon, lectures in the assembly hall. His talk is stimulating. March 9 We play St. Mary's. After a struggle, the score reads 39-33, our favor. Spring vacation! It is longer this year so that the Junior College may be moved into the new building. We’re off for a week of good times! - �:l March 19 Vacation flies as usual! But we are all glad to be back and are interested in the new College building. The Seniors are among those who attend the opening service in the beautiful chapel; and after the service, we inspect the building. 1 . March 23 Our return game with St. Mary’s is played on our floor. Both teams are out to win, and, as it is the last game of the season, they play hard. However, we win, 44-37. Li I I April 5 Our Student Body presents the Portland Civic Theatre School in two plays "All on a Summer’s Day” and "The Constant Lover.” This is the latest method of raising money, and it proves successful. May 6 Sister Superior’s surprise party this year was a most enjoyable and memorable one. We were invited for a ramble through the city which led to the Auditorium where we saw the pageant, "Portals of May.” May IS Our second Student Body Dance! It turns out perfectly. The May Fete is held in the afternoon before the dance. This is the firsr of many— we hope. We elect a queen and a master of ceremonies to preside over the affair. j i 1 May 24 The New Girls give their party for the Old Girls, in return for the party given to them by the Old Girls in the fall. After supper they entertain us in the Assembly Hall by various stunts. 1 ■ I May 26 The annual Alumnae tea is held on this afternoon. It is most enjoyable and makes all the Seniors realize how very close Commencement is. May 28 Although we have been expecting it, exam week falls like a sledge-hammer blow we’re almost through. t 4 If < i ! I || I.S }! But JUNE 2 The Lower 1 1 1 School gives its entertainment this afternoon. It is very colorful and the girls do some excellent work. : June 2 Evening—The Junior-Senior Prom! As usual, this is the loveliest dance of the year. As it is the last Hall dance for the Seniors, the occasion is a little sad. In spite of that, however, everyone enjoys it immensely. 1 S; =!: ! b : ! : i i June 3 The Baccalaureare Sunday service is held at Trinity Church this year. After the service, a picnic luncheon is served in the gym. Then comes the unveiling of the Senior class picture and the giving out of the "Delphics.” June 4 The Senior Class Play, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, is given tonight. It is beautifully produced under the direction of Mrs. Folts. We discover considerable talent in the class. After the play, the school awards and trophies are given out. June 5 1 1 1 Commencement night! The Seniors—now graduates—experience a mingled happiness and sorrow, for although they hate to leave the school and their friends, all are looking forward to new and enjoyable experiences, and everyone feels the joy of a piece of work well done. �•T.- ' ^ jf ! :: :i �I- !

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.

So all ye who love (?) the Seniors, harken unto me. For be it foul or be it fair, their futures are foretold, And whether it be true or not, it's worth its weight in gold. First comes our fair President, Bettybelle by name; As a cow-girl on a dude ranch she now doth earn her fame Our author next, Lou Harlan, a bolshevist at heart, Is trundling baby orphans around a New York park! As for Katie Aston, though so quiet formerly, She’s a politician now and works for Tammany! Josephine McGilchrist has done herself no hurt; She just defeated Culbertson and is THE bridge expert. Comes now our Susan Steiwer, who at last has reached her goal! She’s a missionary to the Indians up around the northern pole You must remember Doreen; she’s down in Hollywood, Teaching all the stars and starlets to giggle as they should. Our military Eleanor, all other aim eschewing, Is running things in Timbuctoo, where a revolution’s brewing. A word concerning Betty Barr will not come in amiss; She made her fortune selling pins, saying, "My point is this— Ah, yes, there’s Margaret Ingram, who has a civic mind; She now is writing articles on the Five Year Plan for Time. Now Frances Watzek skips and bounds in manner most entrancing; She leaped to fame and made her name through her aesthetic dancing And red-haired Becky Hopkins—far above us has she riz"— With all her cups and rackets a tennis champ now is. Next Lucyr Leonardo, her fate we shall have sealed! She’s patented her "air-brakes" for use on a baseball field. Barbara Berger’s future! Who could ask for more? She’s a Chinese correspondent with cablegrams galore. And our athletic Rosalie at last has found her place! She'll represent America in the next Olympic race! Now to mention Annie Blair, since we answer all demands; She’s struggling to perfect the art of talking with her hands. Lois Kay’s a sculptress, with a style most modernistic; Her latest statue of a horse is certainly quite mystic. And Jeannette Jones' profession, we cannot do without it! She, alas, a surgeon is; we’re quite "cut up" about it. Jane Tennison, the blonde, with "specs" and hair un-curled, Is an important business figure in the financial world. And Frances Miller, 'tis sad but true, alas, how well we know it! Although she may a lawyer be, she'll never be a poet! Thus the prowess of the seniors is here for all to see, Pile flowers, then, upon the grave of the class of ’33! FINIS I i �The DELPHIC 15 The List Will and Testament SENIOR CLASS, NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE I. Lois K. Jones, leave my uniforms. Buttons” to Wahnita Mills, or any other girl who likes I, Frances Watzek, leave my "rather" large feet to Dot Hill. I, Doreen Plympton, leave my manners to the nearest kindergarten. I, Eleanor Luper, leave my delicately shaped nose to Nathalie Lewis. I, Betty Tubbs, leave my title as the "Sternest Girl in the School” to Esther Jobes. I. Betty Barr, leave my penny and dime bank to Peggy Osborne and the Capitol of Arizona. I, Kathleen Aston, leave my Athenian physique to Mary Helen Pruitt. I, Rebecca Hopkins, leave my "wim and wigor” to Betty Zehntbauer. I, Louise Harlan, leave my even disposition to Sally McCune. I, Josephine McGilchrist, leave my daily letters to the next boarder who is homesick too. I, Frances Miller, leave my grammar ability to Mrs. Fariss.

Thus we leave our dear school days behind and proceed to the next great adventure in life — the Alumnae Association. �1 f 16 The DELPHIC Building a Perfect Senior The perfect Senior who might have been Will need much building, so let us begin. If Doreen would give those beautiful eyes, ’Twould help a great deal — perhaps moralize. Kay Aston, I'm sure, would gladly agree To lend us her nose for my fantasy. The perfect smile and those pearly teeth Eleanor would donate, but not to keep. The hair we want curly and ever so fine May we borrow from Loie? 'Twould be sublime! The complexion, above all, most perfect should be. I’ve chosen Barb Berger’s—do you all agree? The shape of the head includes even the chin; Let us choose Jeannie Jones’ — it can't be a sin. And last to complete this perfect face, Fran Watzek’s lips could add no disgrace! Now, this perfect girl must indeed have a form; The best one is Miller’s — many have sworn. As for hands and for feet which must be shaped well. Betty Jane's will be perfect as best I can cell. The arms and the legs have caused much dispute. How about it, Annie — do you think yours would suit? For leadership, Betty — intelligence, Lou — For two better suited, there are none it’s true. Personality is important for this beauty of ours — Jo, yours is the sweetest of all others by fa r I’ve argued and threatened, but still some do claim That pep or vivacity should follow my name. And now I’ve completed and put to the test A most perfect girl out of some we love best. We can't all be perfect, so the best we can do Is to model our Senior and hope she suits you!

Young people today have more power than ever before. They are free from the fetters of the stuffy Victorian and pre-Victorian idea expressed in the trite and thread-bare phrase, "Children should be seen and not heard.” And in their new freedom they are striking out into the maze which they will find life to be, not heeding the warnings from others. They will no longer listen to long sermons on their duty, their actions, their life work. They deem them unnecessary and out-dated, this generation which has come to regard duty as odious and a sermon as a dull talk through which to sleep. n Luckily, the boy and girl of today are learning to think more wisely concerning their futures. However, here are two types of individual who generally do not fare so well These types are the idealist, who often has neither the knowledge nor the practicality necessary to carry him through difficulties, and the lazy person, who will let his affairs drift in any direction they may take. II i■ I i It is for us, the class of 1933, to use our new-found freedom of thought and action to the best of our ability. Our foundation has been good, our training excellent; we should go far! It remains for us to make the most of life, which is just beginning lor us, so that at the end of a fully-rounded life each of us may say, " I have done my best. 1 it Furness Abbey N ESTLED between two hills and surrounded by oak trees older than itself lies Furness Abbey, that memory of another age. Built eight hundred and two years ago by the friars, it withstood the batterings of Oliver Cromwell. Nay, more, it has withstood the ravages of the elements for centuries, and it is now, perhaps, more beautiful, wrapped in its cloak of age, than when it was first built. j 1 I To see Furness Abbey at its best, one must wait for that glorious summer twilight that only Northern England can offer. Approaching from the rural path, with fields of grain spread on either side, one breasts a knoll and sees this gem of medieval architecture wrapped in the red haze of the dying sun. Its arches stand out in bold relief from the background of deep shadow. Its walls, mossy with age, still impress one with their rich solidity. As one penetrates into the shadows, his spirit becomes conscious of something sacred. Though vacated so long ago, this beautiful spot still maintains that atmosphere of peace and dignity bestowed on it by its former inhabitants. As one stands in this old building, he views the surrounding beauty through glassless windows, where rose panes, no doubt, at one time added to the restfulness of the interior. As one wanders among the ruins, the only sound that disturbs the deep quiet is the murmur of the shallow water gurgling over the rounded rocks. This stream runs through the back of the monastery, and it is easy to picture a black-robed monk sitting on a rustic bench enjoying this same hour before renewing his studies. !i Little swallows dart in and out among the ruins, building their nests in the same crevices as their ancestors did when the Abbey was first erected. Perhaps it is they, and they alone, who can tell us the true story of this ancient structure. Kathleen Aston, ’33. �I The DELPHIC 21 I Help! T'nOP had always been pretty successful in business and had earned lots of money; so X when he and Mom got married, they had a big house built out on Lakeshore Drive. Mom had worked hard to get Sis "out” on her debut, and I guess she’d made a success of it except that all Sis’s friends were girls. I remember Sis often used to look very enviously at the girls who had boy friends, but she never went out on a date nor nothin'. Well, one day she was a-crying away up in her room, and when I went to ask her what was the trouble, all she said was, "Oh, go away, Tommy, you're no help." Well, I went and done my duty and told Mom and then listened through the door. Sis was awful depressed 'cause she thought she didn't have any boy friends like the rest of the girls. When Mom came out, she looked awful worried, too, but when we all sat down at the dinner table (Sis’s eyes were all red, but nobody said nothin’), Mom looked cheered up. When she said, Joan, Jack Bell called up while you were upstairs, and he said he was coming up to see you tonight,’ I just knowed that she had something up her sleeve. Well, Jack Bell came at S:15, and boy, did he have a slick-looking car, all red with silvery wheels! I wouldn’t have blamed Joan for falling for — the car. Joan was all dressed up waiting for him, and he and Mom and Pop and Joan talked and talked. Pretty soon I was sent off to bed, but I heard Jack go about ten o'clock. This kept up for about a week; Sis looked awful happy, and so did Mom. But one alternoon I went up to Sis’s room, and she looked sorta sad and was star-gazing out the window. I asked her what the trouble was, and she said, "Tommy, I like Jack, but he never says anything or does anything to make me think he likes me." I offered the consolation of, " He comes to see you 'most every night." Oh, yes, but just coming to see me! — He never takes me any place." " Gosh," said I in a very awed tone, "Mom wouldn’t let you go any place with him alone anyway, would she?" "No, I don’t suppose so." " I’ll try to concentrate on a plan for you ’n him, Sis.” You! Oh, you couldn’t help; you’re of no use! ’’ and again she went to her starless gazing. There was nothing for me to do but exit. But I fooled her. I did concentrate, and when Mother gave her consent to let Mr. Bell — as the folks called him (just to be perlite) — take Joan to Marjory Rane’s dance about a half mile out in the country, I about shouted I was so glad. Well, Joan got a new dress for the ’casion, and, honest, she looked swell when Air. Bell came for her in his spiffy car. I went to bed at nine, and at nine-thirty I heard the folks come upstairs to bed. I dumb down outside the window by hanging onto the water pipe, and it was not long before I was speeding on my way to the Rane’s house on my bike. Everything was ablaze with light, and so I spied Mr. Bell’s car easy. I took out all except a little bit of gas from the tank and then hid in the bushes by the side of the road. First thing I knew — ’spect I’d been asleep — I heard a horn, and a car went ripping past, but it wasn't Joan, so I waited some more. Then I saw a flash of red, and Joan and Jack went by. They got only a little way up the road from where I was when the car stopped. Boy! Just as I’d planned. �: ! 22 The DELPHIC ' ' We 11 hail the next car,” I heard Jack reassure Joan. That was my next problem. I ran — my bike was caught in some brambles — back to the house, and there was just one car left. They didn’t know me, so I hollered, ” Those people in the other car are spooning, so drive on past 'em and don’t stop.' : II ■ ■ l! i ! O. K., kid,’’ they answered, as they drove away, I heard them go by Joan, and after about thirty minutes — boy, did I get some good food at the Rane's house in the mean­ time— I hung the can with the rest of the gas in it on my handlebars and started up the road. I didn’t know how they was going to appreciate what I’d done, so I took it kinda cautious like. All the lights were out — guess they wanted to save the lectricity in this time of depression. First thing I heard was, ” I always have, Jack.” i ' ! [I " Oh, Joan, you darling.” I thought that was enough, so I approached and said sorta low, "Mr. Bell (I thought the Mr. would go over bigger), I brought you some gas.” All the response I got was, "Oh, yes, if the folks consent.” { I Again I tried, ” Sis, I thought maybe—” But it was no use. I could see that their heads were pretty close together, and I kinda thought maybe he was kissing her, so I'd better not disturb them. J < So I sat down to wait for them to realize that I was there and that I wanted a ride in the spiffy car. Pretty clever plan on my part, I calls it! Huh! I couldn’t help— oh. no, not much! Frances Watzek, ’33- jpxEAR UNCLE HANNIBAL: r : The other day I had a very embarrassing ride on the trolley. blush, Uncle, but as that thoughtless, clumsy, old trolley started with had climbed on, I was gracefully placed in the lap of a very handsome the way he blushed I don’t think he had ever had a young lady land I don’t very often a jerk just after I young man. From on his lap before. Well, I was so embarrassed and flustered that I just couldn’t move until some old flap-eared gentleman came over to us and, leading me to a seat, informed me that the street-car was no place for such conduct. I attempted to explain, but the man said, ' Yes, yes, I know. The reform school is the place for you! ” Then everybody in the whole car turned and stared and began whispering to his neighbor. Anyhow, bound and determined to get my money’s worth, I was not going to leave the trolley then, no matter how embarrassed I was. Hearing some one honking a horn outside, I looked out the window and saw my father in his car. I had to leave the trolley then to ride with him. He had seen me sitting on the young man’s lap, and I had to spend the rest of the day trying to convince him that it was only an accident. fi : t ; Your embarrassed niece, Ruth Johnson, ’34. �The DELPHIC 23 A Visit to Grub Street o NE evening as I was sitting by my fireside dreaming, I was aroused from my reveries by a knock on the library door. It was my faithful Mrs. Tiffingtuffer, who brought in a note delivered by a messenger boy. Upon opening the note, I found it to be from my good friend, Samuel Johnson. He requested me to accompany him to Grub Street. This invitation interested me immensely, as I had heard a great deal about this famous street but had never had the opportunity of going there. Of course I sent my answer in the affirmative. I had no sooner donned my great coat and my hat than a knock came at the door. I descended to find Mr. Johnson standing in the vestibule. He was disturbing Mrs. Tiffingtuffer greatly by wiping mud off his boots on her immaculate carpet. I greeted my friend and, to my good housekeeper’s great relief, suggested that we leave. We walked down the street at a very rapid pace. More than one person glanced a second time at my companion. He strode along, entirely unconscious of the many curious glances cast in his direction, his deformed shoulders humped a little more than usual, his gaze on the ground, his unkempt clothes all contrasting with those of the well-dressed people on the Strand. After perhaps twenty-five minutes we turned off the brilliantly lighted street into Grub Street. My mind was recording everything we saw as we neared our destination. The street was rather poorly lighted, but one could see that the houses were all old and in a slightly dilapidated state. Wc entered a house that looked as if it might collapse at any moment. Mr. Johnson led the way down several steps into a coffee shop in the basement. He entered without knocking, and I very meekly followed him. We threaded our way among the tables and chairs, placed at intervals about the room, which was blue with smoke. This smoke was not from the best grade of tobacco, and the room had a rather unpleasant odor. Every one was speaking in low tones, and only occasionally was the voice of a patron heard distinctly. Johnson greeted several people as we walked through the room. Of these I did not know any one. We seated ourselves at a table with one other gentleman, whom Johnson introduced to me as David Garrick. I glanced at the table. It was covered with a heavy, checkered cloth. The food the waiter brought us was on heavy china, and the ale was in thick glasses. I tasted the food placed before me and hastily swallowed the most inedible morsel that I had ever put into my mouth. I noticed several people in the room glance curiously at the couple sitting with me. After listening to the conversation for a few minutes, my attention finally became centered on a young man at a table not far from us. His hair was in a deplorable condition. He wore a ragged suit, and the cuffs of his shiit were frayed and tattered. He ate very little and said less. His eyes had an expression that fastened itself in my mind. They were large and sad; from their depths his soul was bared. All evening he gazed into space. After he had left, I could not rid my mind of the thought of him. Johnson rose a few minutes later and said that, as it was getting late, perhaps we had better go. I assented, and we paid for our fare and went out. In the street the air was clear and crisp. I took several deep breaths and exclaimed on the clearness of the night. Johnson absently agreed with me. I saw that he was still arguing mentally with his friend, Garrick. We arrived at my home a short time later. Before I bade Johnson good evening, I asked him if he had noticed the young man in the coffee shop. He replied that the �‘ 24 The DELPHIC ■ i ; \ stranger was Richard Telford, a young poet who had been unable to sell any of his works. I determined that I should buy some of the poet’s work very soon. I retired after a huge dose of Mrs. Tiffingtuffers medicine, which was, to quote the good lady, "A blessin' to be sure hafter runnin' around with one of thim crazy poets, h eatin' the junk he would be feedin' you.1' ! ; The next morning, when I arose at a comparatively late hour, I picked up a message from my writing table. It had come from Johnson. The contents were as follows: Your friend, Richard Telford, has committed suicide. You will not have to buy his bad poetry now.” Sue Steiwer, '33. i I: ii When the Faculty Smiles / | /HE dictionary states that a smile is a change of facial expression, the most noticeable X signs of which are a brightening of the eyes and an upward curving of the corner^ of the mouth. It may express amusement, tender affection, approval, pleasure, restrained mirth, irony, or joy. Smiles are as varied and as numerous as people. No two are exactly alike, and many are very' individual. There are big ones, small ones, sweet ones, sour ones, broad ones, and skimpy ones. i ■ Mrs. Walker’s starts with a flicker and finally, when the strain becomes too great, spreads over her face like a strawberry festival on the front lawn. Miss Stewart tries hard to smother hers, but once in a while fails to catch it, and it breaks through in a sudden little burst, accentuated with parentheses, only to disappear as fast as it came. Mrs. Shuman's takes only a moment to get well on its way, and in the end it extends from northwest to southeast with a little tilt on the southeast corner. I Mrs. Knapp has a smile that is to be found nowhere else. It consists of a series ol hearty chuckles, culminating in a broad smile. : ■ Miss Mervy’s begins with twinkling high-lights that are instantly caught up at the corners of her mouth, like curtains, and, when the smile is an especially animated one. it continues and finally discloses a stage set for the act of laughter. Mrs. Fariss hesitates for a second and then allows hers to climb to high altitudes at the corners. . ■ Miss Wells has a smile that is original and certainly has a style all its own. First it sparkles in her eyes, and then corners of her mouth dart straight up, forming a crescent. Miss Peterson's smile is one of the high-lights of the Hall. Although it is a short episode, it occurs often. What one of these smiles can’t do! The day may be blue, and everything can go wrong, but when Mrs. Walker gives you one of her " strawberry festivals ” or when Mrs. Shuman bestows one of her "northwest to southeaster,” the scene changes. The influence of a smile is such that it brightens the whole day. It makes all of us agree with the statement, ” What the wag of a dog’s tail is to another dog, so to a man is the understanding smile of a comrade.” Peggy Osborne, ’34. �The DELPHIC 25 i Stop-Over HERE is not much of a cargo here to load. It won't take more than three hours.” Those were the words of the first mate — the words that so greatly disappointed Jean and Terry when they first heard them. Jean and Terry were on their honeymoon. They were going to Europe via the Panama Canal. T I had planned so much on spending lots of time in Colon. It’s such an interesting place. And now, just think, Terry, only three hours! We might just as well stay on the ship.” Oh, no' Don’t let it bother you like that. We'll hurry and just make the best of those three hours.” I I I The ship finally was anchored, and the gangplank lowered. Jean and Terry started oil down the long pier together. At the end of the pier was a line of queer-looking carriages, driven by the native men. These carriages were very frail-looking. Some were built for two people and others for four. The drivers were black natives, and many of the horses looked as though they did not have many more years to live. Although it was but a short distance from the pier to the center of Colon, Jean and Terry were so thrilled by the appearance of the carriages that they decided to ride. As Jean stepped in from one side, the entire carriage tipped as though with a little more weight it might go over. This cab was built for only two, and the decrepit horse could barely pull the load. On their way to the center of the city, the driver took his passengers past the govern­ ment building, the one hospital of Colon, and down narrow, winding, back-streets, along the sides of which were dark and dingy dwelling-houses. As soon as they reached the main streets, Terry called to the driver to stop, and having paid him, the wo started on their hurried tour of Colon. Amber beads! Bags! Panama hats' Buy our wares. We have low prices!” What on earth is that young child doing?” cried Jean. "She must be calling people to her father’s store.” Sure enough, this black-eyed, fuzzy-haired, colored child was standing on a box, shouting her father’s wares. The two young visitors learned later that this sight was not at all unusual. At the time, however, Jean could hardly keep from showing her amazement as she passed the child on going into the shop. Inside the shop all the clerks were more than anxious to wait upon the young couple. The owner was determined to sell something. ” I have best amber in city. You see. Feel it. It is so light! So beautiful! No? You do not care for amber? Then you must look at my straw hats. My bags are all made by the natives. They are not expensive. I will sell—” ”Oh! I couldn't have stayed in there a second longer! ” wailed Jean as they hurried out. " Look, Jean, how beautifully colored this shop is. Let's go in here." " Have a sit, Ma'am, have a sit,” a clerk said as he rushed up to Jean with a chair on his arm. �26 . The DELPHIC Jean and Terry sat down. They wanted at least a souvenir from this quaint city. The clerW showed them straw hats., bags, amber, perfumes, and heavy linen materials. His prices were all very high, but Terr)' found it amusing to make him lower them. The first mate on the ship had told Terry that the natives always raised their prices when ships came into port. Finally, having walked up one street after another and into one shop after another, Terry stopped one of those " cabs ” and directed the driver to the boat. The ride back was just as novel to them as though they had never been in such a vehicle before. 1 he driver had no respect for them. He seemed to hit very bump in the rough cobble-stone streets, and by the time the pier came into view, Jean was almost jolted to death. As the two young people walked up the gangplank of the ship, Jean exclaimed rather apologetically, " I'm so very glad that we went! Those three tiny hours were worth while.’ Jannette Jones. 33 Shanghai! T HERE'S only one thing we must be careful about — don’t let Betty know by a titter or a smile that anything is wrong." "My dear, you do me an injustice to even insinuate that I’d do such a thing! " " Don’t split infinitives. All right, then, here are the plans." The confused buzz of voices could be heard down the hall, which was cheerily lit with the sunshine of an April afternoon, but no distinct words could reach the ears of any would-be eavesdroppers. That afternoon when Betty reached her room at school after a few hours of shopping downtown, the girls, her roommates and the two in the adjoining room, came in to chat. They had taken care to place within her reach the daily paper, opened to a page containing the picture of a beautiful new passenger ship which was sailing that night for the Orient and stopping at Shanghai. Mary unconcernedly remarked, "Look at that lovely ship.” She peered at the print underneath. " It’s sailing for Shanghai! Wouldn’t you just love to go on it? Midnight is a nice time to leave, too. Oh, school is nice and everything, but it’s not romantic enough. Just think — to stow away on that ship and go to the Orient! " Here she rolled her eyes with amateurish emotion, which would have betrayed her at once to experienced eyes, and gave a deep sigh. i I 3 ■ 1 I With a serious air Betty replied, " It certainly would, but of course—" , Barbara chimed in here with excitement, "Well, why not? We’re only sophomores. It would mean only that we'd graduate in ’34 instead of ’33- And think of the fun wed have. I have ten dollars, and when we arrived in Shanghai, we could get jobs, I know. How about it?” She smiled winningly. ; " I’m all for it," Janice put in. " Oh, we couldn’t possibly do that. Think of our parents’ worry, and, if it shouldn t happen to work out right, think of the mess we’d be in here at school." } || ■ ; i " But we could write to our parents and explain things easily enough." At this point Barbara chimed in with, "We could pack our laundry bags with the few clothes we’d need and could save room that way. Don’t you think that’s a good idea, girls?” "Mm — hmh," they muttered simultaneously. �I The DELPHIC 27 " Now, let’s write our mothers,” added Janice, who always enjoyed making the most of a dramatic moment. But how would we get out?” asked Betty, by this time half won over to the plan but still dubious and hesitant. Oh, we could tie our sheets together and attach them to the bed-post. I've heard of its being done often. Let’s see, we’ll have to leave here at about eleven in order to reach the boat by twelve. We’d better get a taxi.” Janice said this at the same time that she sat down at her desk and drew out a piece of writing paper before her. Her pen lay idle for a moment, but soon her face began to work convulsively, and large tear drops splashed upon the paper, making it bumpy in spots and totally unfit for use. Once she was started, it was not hard for Janice to continue her heavy sobbing. Betty, assuming a protective air, crossed the room and tried to comfort her. You’ll feel better later on, Janice, I know. It won’t be so hard once we’re gone.” At dinner that night the four girls were rather silent and could be seen looking about at their stay at-home companions with a sad, farewell gleam in their eyes. Their laughter, when it did come, was strained and unnatural. Betty especially looked thoughtful, and she was engrossed in giving her sister, three years younger, who sat next her at table, a long dissertation on the proper behavior for young children. At nine o'clock that night the girls began in feverish haste to pack their bags with only the absolute essentials for an ocean voyage as stowaway passengers. After lights had been put out, each girl rose cautiously from her bed and donned part of her clothes, so that she might be the more prepared to leave when the time came. I know that none of us will sleep a wink, but if we should, I’ll wake you at eleven, Betty, whispered Barbara, Betty’s roommate. Soon the breathing of four peaceful sleepers was the only sound besides that of the two little clocks in the girls’ rooms. Early morning sunshine was the first sight that greeted Betty’s eyes as she opened them She lay there for a moment thinking; suddenly she saw her full laundry bag on the floor, and she remembered their plans for escape. But Barbara was missing, and her bag was gone, too. Betty looked into the other room. Two girls and two bags were missing there. Then she looked on Barbara's bureau and saw lying on it a scrap of the brown wrapping paper with which Barbara had wrapped cherished photographs for packing. Her eyes perused the scribble on the paper, and she sat down weak with anger. However, there was in her mind a rush of relief, which came to her as she contemplated the whole affair. The girls, Barbara said in the note, had seen her sleeping so peacefully that they hadn’t had the heart to wake her, but she added that they’d drop Betty a postcard from Shanghai. The lone occupant of the room put on the remainder of her clothes and meanwhile pictured the girls far out at sea, probably arguing with a hard-boiled sea-captain to let them stay on the ship. Adventure! Romance! And she was still at school! She thought of their climbing out the window by means of sheets. As this idea occurred to her, she gave a cursory glance at the sheets on Barbara’s bed and then glanced into the other room. No bed linen was missing there, either. Then suspicion struck her. She further noticed that Barbara’s tennis racquet was gone from its accustomed spot on the wall. She crossed the room quickly and looked out the window toward the tennis court. They had gathered another recruit and were playing doubles! Betty slowly unpacked her laundry bag, unable to wipe from her face the foolish grin that had settled there.

Form VI Louise’s Adventure in Cookie-land w OULD you, Louise, like to go to Cookie-land where cookies grow?" asked a sweet voice of Louise as she sat looking out the window at a bird building its nest. Louise looked up in surprise, and there stood a lovely fairy. "Oh! I would love to,’’ she said, "but how long would I be gone?" "Just a little while, my dear, and I will bring you safely back here," replied the fairy. "All right, I will go,” said Louise, so the fairy took a pair of wings out of her pocket and fastened them on Louise’s back. Louise and the fairy flew out of the window, and, after they had traveled for some time, they flew down to a tree. I! j " Now," instructed the fairy, "close your eyes and count to ten. When you have finished counting, you may open them." 1 The little girl counted as she was told, and when she opened her eyes, she was in a beautiful place where everything was made of cookies. " If you want to," said the fairy, " you may have a bite of each flower, tree, or what­ ever you see." I ” Oh! thank you, good fairy," said Louise, and she took a bite of a small flower. To her astonishment, some more cookies grew where she had taken the bites of things, until at last the fairy told her it was time to go home. " Now close your eyes and count to five, and you’ll be by the window-side," Louise shut her eyes and counted. Just then she felt a gentle pull at her arm. " Wake up, dear," her mother said. " You’ve been sitting here asleep for longer than an hour. I want you to go to the grocer’s and get some cookies for dinner."

We have found through practical experience the value of cooperation. However, unless each individual gives the very best that is in him, even cooperation will not reach its desired goal. It will, perhaps, hit the target without hitting the bull's eye. ! : i : We have had opportunities that are precious and of inestimable value. Not everyone is as fortunate as we in receiving so full and well-rounded an education. Some of us have, of course, experienced more difficulties in school life than others. So it is in the broader field of life — some find life wholly worthwhile and intensely interesting, while others are ever wishing that Fate had not dealt them such wretched hands. i . hither triumph or defeat lies before us. We ourselves are responsible for our success in the world. God gave each of us a free will with which she may make or ruin her e I he gift was a precious one. We should receive it as such and show our appreciation ol us true value by the use we make of it. We should feel ourselves constrained to live steadiastly up to our ideals in future times of darkness and stress as well as in times of prosperity and happiness. iH Perhaps after that last eventful night of the awarding of the diplomas, our class may never again be assembled with 'all present and accounted for.” The diplomas are the symbols of our departure from the routine of high school life and of our parting with dear and loving friends. Graduation is a time when close ties must be severed by separation, and each must take her separate path. Fond memories of our school life will always remain with us. As we leave St. Helen's Hall, may we step forth as her worthy representatives, and may we hold always before us her motto, " That our daughters may be as the polished corners of the temple.” i! I !1 I Editorial T IS the mistaken idea of many an unconcerned person that, when a girl graduates from high school, a few kindly words of good cheer and a blessing are all that she needs to propel her into a world of which she as yet knows little. i How often do we see a man or woman anywhere from the ages of twenty-five to fifty and say, "That person has not made the success in life that it was possible to make!” Then we dismiss him from our thoughts and go on our respective ways, often to pave streets of the self-same mediocrity for ourselves to tread. It is one of the great tragedies of civilization that there is so much wasted energy and talent in the world. So many of us are willing merely to "get by,” with the hope that our pots of gold will be waiting for us at the end of the rainbow, regardless of how much energy we have expended in our efforts to procure the reward. Because young people are often head-strong, stubborn, and unwilling to listen to advice from experience-wise elders, many mistakes are made both in the choosing of vocations and in the carrying out of plans in life. ; �: 34 The DELPHIC ; . . I I Tennis I Last year, besides the school tournament, the Hall played two Interscholastic tourna­ ments. The school senior singles matches were won by Jean Cameron; Esther Jobes won the junior single matches; and Rebecca Hopkins won the beginner's matches. The Days won the hard-fought doubles match from the Boarders. The school team was made up of Jean Cameron. Eleanor Luper, Ruth Smith, and Kathleen Aston. This team lost only -. li ' i ii one match out of five, when they played St. Mary's. We did not, however, make such a good showing with Reed because our first man, Jean Cameron, was unable to play; consequently, we won only one match, but this was quite a victory because our second player defeated Reed’s first. / �I 1 > ' I ..

They are fond of volleyball just as they are of all sports. I i = - �; ij 36 The DELPHIC i{ ; I! Alpha Theta ' Alpha Theta has made rapid progress during the year and a half that it has functioned. Already this athletic club has set fine standards and lived up to them well. Five girls were pledged in September and initiated in January at the Lake House. The initiation was followed by a dinner dance, at which the pledged members were honor guests. Later in January three new girls were pledged and were initiated in May. Only girls interested : in sports are eligible for the club. This year Frances Miller was president: Rebecca l r Hopkins, vice president; and Lucille Leonardo, secretary. v �I ! The DELPHIC 37 i Fencing Tliis year greater progress than ever before has been made in fencing. The class was again under the very competent direction of Mr. Knapp. A ladder was formed of all the girls who fenced, and, in order to determine their positions, the girls challenged the person whose name appeared just above theirs on the ladder. Much keen interest was afforded in this way. Ruth Smith and Frances Miller tied for first place. The class met once each week. i E t I �i !

The Se niors were heard proclaiming their lofty, new-found position far and wide and looking with contempt on mere under-graduates. September 28 As the results of several weeks’ swimming lessons, we were able to hold a swimming meet at the Lake house, in which many of the girls participated. We will certainly turn out some English Channel swimmers in the future. October 11 Shades of robots, wedding parties, and clowns! We had the Old-girl, New-girl party, strictly fancy dress. This year we enjoyed an added attraction, that of the initiation of the teachers. Many lovely costumes, including original ones, appeared, and the party was complete, even to a witch who liberally gave out fortunes to one and all, and what fortunes! October 21 A rush tea was given by the Alpha Theta club at the home of one of the members. Many of the girls attended, and six girls were chosen as pledges. Enjoyable refreshments were had by all — particularly by the members! October 27 Water, water, everywhere! We had a canoe meet at the lake — just some more of our water sports — which resulted in several stiff arms and backs, as well as blue ribbons for the winners. November 18 Basketball season opened with a bang! The first game of the season was played here today against Miss Catlin’s with a score of 105-3. November 19 Evidently Old Man Depression had us in his clutches. The Seniors gave a depression dance for the purpose of raising money. The hall was appropriately decorated with patches and placards which seemed to betoken the condition of most of our pockets. Anyway the dance was a success, and all seemed to get their ninety-nine cents worth of pleasure. November 21 Symphony Concert season opened, and many of the music lovers attended. The concerts this year were especially beautiful and interesting. : �40 The DELPHIC November 23-28 . With visions of home, turkey, and what have you, we left for Thanksgiving vacation. ! ! December 10 On with the dance! The Boarders gave a dance merely for the love of the art, strange as it may seem. December 15 A Christmas entertainment was given, and many of us attended. The Dramatic Art Class gave a most enjoyable play, and the Latin class sang some hymns in Latin. The Dancing class also entertained us with a few numbers; in fact, most of the audienceseemed quite amused. : i ^: !■ December 19 The Boarders celebrated Christmas by presenting a Christmas Cantata, followed by a feast de luxe, to which many of the Days were invited. Somehow most of us failed to have many of our lessons the next day. ■ ?! December 20 The beginning of Christmas holidays. January 4 School started again, and everyone began preparing for exams. It was rather hard to settle down again after the holidays, but it was finally accomplished. I! January 12 A representative from Sarah Lawrence College in New York talked to us about her interesting school. Of course, every girl was then determined to attend Sarah Lawrence, no matter what other school had been considered previously. January 14 This was the sacred day when the convenient dogs about school were initiated and made glorious Alpha Thetas. In honor of die occasion, the members gave a delightful dance for the late pledges. January 18 A party was given by the Junior College to the Seniors of the various high schools. The idea of a night in Bohemia was carried out, and the amusing entertainment was enjoyed by all. We especially enjoyed the cheese crackers. January 23-28 "All hope abandon, ye who enter here.” You guessed it! This was exam week, which in spite of our fears, most of us managed to struggle through. �The DELPHIC * 41 January 25 The tea for the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon was given here, and many of the girls assisted in serving. s January 31 We were entertained by an interesting talk on Lapland and the Scandinavian countries by Miss Nora Borghlan. Miss Borghlan's lecture was very amusing as well as educational. February 10 It seemed that Alpha Theta just couldn’t get along without their pledges, and today another rush tea was given in order to get another supply. February 17 Another victory for the Hall! Will the girls never cease being good? — well, we hope not! The Hall played St. Mary's Academy at Shattuck School, winning 47-19February 2S The seniors gave a bridge tea in order to raise money (which, I might add, is the problem). The tea was a great success, and we have reason to believe that many of the girls added to their bridge experience by playing with the ladies who attended. March 1 The good old team isn’t losing its pep yet. Again the Hall conquered. Reed was defeated on our own floor, 47 to 17. March 12 This time the Hall played Pacific College at Newberg. Who won? Well, really, the Hall, of course! The score? 39-2. March 17 There is just no way of getting these girls down. A score cf 34 to 12 was made by our girls today against St Mary’s. March 21 The Hall ended its victorious season in basketball today by the victory of 48-20 over Reed College on their floor. We enjoyed the games very much and wish to offer our congratulations both to the team and to the yell-leaders for their good work. March 23-28 That old germ, "Spring fever," once again spread to all of us. But Spring vacation came to save us from utter ruin. There was just enough time to escape from school books and have one fine time and then once more to settle down to our last, long stretch before the final night. I �; : ■ ■ II ; 42 The DELPHIC ■ I March 29 ; A representative from Mills College visited us and gave an interesting description of Mills.

It made them fully realize how near they were to the end of their years at the Hall. Ii May 25 The annual New-girl, Old-girl party and the final tennis tournaments were held today. Great enthusiasm was aroused by the fine playing of the participants in the matches, and the program presented by the new girls was greeted with great delight. The dancing and the refreshments were also enjoyed. I! i May 29 We at length reached that final last hurdle — examinations! The school was in even more chaos than at mid-term. However, they were not so bad as we might expect, and it is comforting to know that they are all now completely finished. .

June 5 The last event before Commencement, the Senior play and the awarding of the honors! This year a French play, " Le Vent d’Ouest,” and an English play, "The Romancers,” were presented before a large audience. Afterwards the testimonials and other rewards were given our by Bishop Sumner, and most of us left contented. June 6 A't last the long-awaited day! It was the final memory of this our Senior year, and one that we shall long cherish, not without a few tears.

The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. 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.
