The education and well-being of your Hall extends a warm emphasis upon children are our primary concerns. We place great . high standards of education, conduct, and behavior. .-.uk, we are proud of the standards maintained and the achieve­ ments recorded by our fine, historic school, founded in 1869, which on a new campus, continues to provide the quality education needed, to prepare children and youth for living in a changing and challenging world. We assume that you, as parents, have acquainted yourselves with our aims, rules, and regulations and that you will wish to cooperate whole­ heartedly in these matters. Success is reached by a threeway route: parent - student - teacher. Four times a year individual reports are sent out to parents of students in the Upper, Middle, and Lower Schools. We hope you will keep in frequent touch with the teachers of your daughter or son. We wish you to feel free to visit the Director of the Hall, the Heads of the Middle and the Lower Schools, and the Supervisor of the Preschool. This Catalog Supplement is prepared to supply information and to answer questions you may have. If there is additional information you would like, we will be glad to give it to you either through letter or personal interview. GENERAL REGULATIONS ABSENCES Every effort should be made to keep each student in school and on time, as absences and tardiness profoundly affect academic work. In the case of an absence of a week or less caused by illness the stu­ dent will have help in making up lost work. After a longer absence, tutoring at the expense of the parent may be required. Parents are requested not to ask for extension of vacation periods, uc prolongation of vacation periods is totally unfair to the student erse , her teachers, and her fellow students. Any absences just beor after vacation periods result in an automatic zero in every i.v s ^lssed, except in cases of a signed doctors excuse indicating dpnfaf Q-\ °u t^ie1 ^ness- The School also asks that all medical and mpnfc i^ork j taken care of during vacation periods or that appoint­ ments be made for Saturdays or after school hours. CLASS PREPARATION ^11 students are expected to make school their main interest, Monto onrv^°U^r Friday, to the close of the school day. Parents are asked at hom Gra 6- ln see*nS that children follow regular study schedules theatr^Q6’ ^^Pt^ by telephone or TV. (Attendance at movies, freaup^fi °r* P^.**08 should be discouraged on school nights). Parents ule hprp ^ m(luh*e about a time schedule for home study. The schedsuggested applies to the needs of the average student. 3 �UPPER SCHOOL Freshmen — Sophomores — Juniors — Seniors — LOWER SCHOOL Grades III — 20 minutes IV — 30 minutes V & VI — 45 minutes 2 2 2% 3 hours hours hours hours MIDDLE SCHOOL VII and VIII — 90 minutes THE SCHOOL DAY AT ST.

A full noon dinner is included. Arrangements for the months of June, July, and August may be made with the Supervisor of the Preschool. LUNCHEONS The Upper and Middle School students regularly have their lunch­ eon together in die dining room. Lower School students may bring their lunches from home or have hot lunches at the School. NOTE: Please read carefully the explanations under Incidental Ex­ pense Accounts, Extraordinary Expenses, and Optional Services and Activities. The description and cost of uniforms are given under Dress Regulations. Day students wishing transportation should check service and costs under transportation heading. (See Optional Services) INSURANCE An accident insurance policy is taken out for each student. The policy, available only because of the large number involved, covers the student in the classroom, on the playground, at competitive games, and on the way to and from school. The charge per school year, payable first semester, is $2.40 for Preschool children and $5.00 for Lower, Middle, and Upper School students. SPECIAL REDUCTIONS Children of clergymen receive 10 percent reduction on tuition. For two siblings there is a 10 percent reduction on tuition; for three, 15 percent; for four or more, 25 percent. INCIDENTAL EXPENSE ACCOUNTS Each student is required to have on deposit an incidental account for books, chapel cap rentals, concerts, plays, etc. Parents of resident students may authorize dry cleaning, laundry, etc., to be charged against this account. Parents must stipulate in writing the weekly amount, if allowances are to be drawn from this account. The aver­ age weekly amount is $2.00 to $3.00 per week, depending upon age of student. The Hall deplores the granting of overly large allowances. When the incidental account has been depleted, parents will receive a report and be asked to replenish the account. This does not often occur in the case of day students, but resident students will need to have replenishment of the account from time to time during the 5 �year, depending upon expenses that the parents wish to have drawn from it.

In June, 1904. by the request of the Board of Trustees, the Sisters of St. John Baptist of the Episcopal Church undertook the charge of the school.

It is a handsome three-story brick building, adapted for the accommoda­ tion of about thirty-five resident pupils, and a large number of rooms with all the nec­ essary equipment to meet the demands of a modern standardized school, large sunny halls of unusual attractiveness, spacious grounds, and an outdoor gymnasium where tennis, basketball, and sports of all kinds are played throughout the year. i' 4 i !:• I I ■ i i - �8 St. Helen’s Hall THE SCHOOL The interior administration of the school has been en­ trusted to the Sisters of St. John Baptist, who have the general superintendence of every department. In secular studies they are assisted by a staff of efficient instructors, college graduates, especially trained for their work. A daily record is kept of the attendance, scholarship, and deportment of every pupil, and a report of the same is mailed to parents at the close of each quarter. Pupils failing, after a fair trial, to attain the required standard of scholarship or deportment, will not be retained in the School. The Sister Superior will always be glad to receive visits from the parents of pupils. Departments The School consists of three departments, a Kinder­ garten, the Lower School and the Upper School. The Lower School includes the six classes covering the same ground as the public school to the Seventh Grade, but with a broader range of subjects. The Upper School covers six years and is divided into two courses,—the College Preparatory Course and the General Course. Two extra years of either collegiate or special work may be taken if desired. The First and Second Forms of the Upper School correspond with the Seventh and Eighth grades of the public school, and the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Forms correspond with the four years of the High School work. The College Preparatory Course and the General Course begin with the Third Form. �St. Helen’s Hall 9 St. Helens’ Hall is a standard school of Oregon, and is accredited to all the Western Colleges and Universities. This allows students to enter without examination, and the work is accepted by the Eastern Colleges according to the new entrance requirements. The passing grade of the School is 75 per cent. The recommending grade of the School to Western Universities is 85 per cent, For entrance to Stanford University on the preferred list, and for the Eastern College an average of 90 per cent is re- S i 4 I quired. The College Course is especially for pupils preparing for Eastern Colleges. All Eastern Colleges are not uni­ form in their requirements, but entrance examinations are necessary for all. Therefore, it is advisable for students preparing for them to take their preliminary examinations at the end of the second year, and in some instances one or two may be taken at the end of the first year, This allows a better distribution of the work and lessens the strain of the Senior year. We urge parents who intend to send their daughters to college to register them in one or more colleges or univer­ sities very early in their school life. 1 his step is necessarv because of the crowded condition of these institu­ tions, especially so of the major Eastern colleges. It is also a wise one because the pupil s preparatory woik maj then be definitely planned to fit her for whatever college she desires to enter, without undue pressure in her Junior and Senior year. Tn the General Course no credit will be given foi less than two years’ work in any language, German or Spanish may be substituted for French throughout the course. Pupils may enter any class for which they are piepare . but the Diploma of St. Helen’s Flail is not given for lesb tlian two years’ attendance, This course meets the requirements of all Western Universities and Colleges. i •: i 1 ■ �/ ! _ *o -~ _ Q 5 u = j. i ; i ! £ i �K3 “V -•■ — i s St. Helen’s Hall 11 The General Course is intended for pupils desiring to lay the foundation of a broad general education, and meets the requirements of those Universities and Colleges which do not require four years of preparatory work in Latin. In it the time, which in the College Preparatory Course is necessarily spent in Latin, is devoted to Literature. His­ tory and Modern Languages. Much of the work is com­ mon to both courses, and the standard of thoroughness is the same. Music, Art and Elocution count as regular elective studies in the General Course. A four-year course in any one of these subjects, satisfactorily completed, will be taken into account for graduation. English The aim in this course is to give pupils thorough in­ struction in English Grammar and Rhetoric, to enable them to write with ease and accuracy, and to teach them to appreciate what is best in English Literature. Through­ out the School the reading matter is carefully selected and in the fourth and fifth years of the Upper School, history of English Literature is studied. After this the work consists chiefly in the writing of compositions and the critical study of English masterpieces, especially those re­ quired for College Entrance Examinations. ii 1 French and Spanish In these courses the aim is to enable the pupil to read the languages at sight and speak and write them easily. In order to acquire a good pronunciation, the study of French should be begun in the Lower School, the lessons at first being in the form of conversation and easy read­ ing. Afterward grammar and translation are begun. In the last year of the course. French composition, history and literature are studied. I I 1: �12 St. Helen’s Hall French or Spanish may be begun in the third year of the Upper School and carried to the point required for admission to College or beyond it, as may be desired. At­ tention is paid to pronunciation, conversation and sight reading, as well as to grammar and translation, and French and Spanish songs and plays form a part of the course. Latin and Greek “Latin and Greek are not regarded as dead languages except in the sense that all language of books not in our era is dead. They are living in the sense that the Eng­ lish of Chaucer and the Italian of Dante are alive, dead only to those to whom for lack of knowledge they are sealed books.”—(Cambridge School Manual.) A four years’ course in Latin is provided, meeting the usual college requirements in Qesar, Cicero. Virgil. Ovid, sight reading, and prose composition, adapted to the new comprehensive examinations of the College Entrance Board. 1; I; I; History •: I; ■ . i r The stud)- of History is begun in the Lower School and continued to the end of the school course. In the Col­ lege Preparatory Course it is necessarily limited to the Eastern College requirements, which, however, are con­ stantly increasing both as to quantity and quality, In the General Course five courses of history arc offered. The topical method is approved, collateral reading is en­ couraged. Maps are drawn, and historical geography is held to be an important part of the work. History and English are intimately associated, pupils being required to commit to memory historical poems, and to write com­ positions on subjects drawn from historical lessons. The school is fortunate in possessing a fairly good, though small, library of History and Literature bearing upon it. �!■>' •- r Sr. Helen’s Hall - 13 Mathematics “In teaching Mathematics the aim is to develop the spirit of inquiry, the habit of accuracy in reasoning, and the love of truth."—(Cambridge School Manual.) The prescribed course comprises Arithmetic, Algebra and Plane Geometry; elective. Solid Geometry and Trigo­ nometry. Throughout the course original work is encouraged and set rules are avoided. The pupils are encouraged to rely as little as possible upon text books. Science This department is conducted in accordance with the best scientific methods, Natural History is taught in connection with Geography in the Lower School, in the Upper School the subjects are taken up as indicated in the course of study. Laboratory work is required of all students of Science. It is considered that one or two Sciences, each thoroughly studied for not less than one year, will do more for the pupil s intellectual development than a larger amount of superficial work. Domestic Science Cookery—Laboratory and lecture classes in the theory and practice of cookery, together with modification of its laws.

There are frequent conferences between student and faculty, group meetings, and round-table Ksions. In the Upper School each girl has a faculty adviser with whom she is kept Lowffsfh^rh50 1hat lndlVlduau1 Problems may be discussed and solved.

Because of the Hall’s strategic location within a ten-minute walk of Portland’s metropolitan area, students make . constant use of municipal, state, and federal institutions, as well ;as of the city s social agencies, as laboratories in which they may enrich their studies.

The chic-looking and well-tailored regulated dress, with its navy blue flared skirt, jewel red cardigan blazer, and white dacron blouse is enjoyed by every high school gir . It is a relief to her not to have to begin each day with a decision as to what to wear. It is likewise a boon to her parents not to have to plan and finance an e aborate wardrobe. Best of all, it creates a completely democratic atmosphere by eliminating clothes competition and insuring simple, tasteful, and attractive dress for the hours of the school day. 2 .; �, _:rls of the Lower School are equally happy with regulated dress The boys and g , groups.

The boys have special work “ hop whik Sob are Joining skill in cooking and sosving. Both groups eain much from the creative experience of making something with their own hands both in these classes and in their art classes, at the same time that they are acquiring a sound education scholastically, which will enable them to carry credit­ ably the more advanced work of their high school years. They will be fully pre­ pared to enter the more specialized, college preparatory high school courses, rather than having to mark time in general courses of a less challenging nature. St. Helen’s Hall Upper School is deeply conscious of the need for every girl to have her own individual design for living. That design is blueprinted during her school years and developed during succeeding years of gracious and effective living. Friendships and loyalties are strong in a girl’s school. Not that boys aren t important! We love to have them at proms, informal dances, and week-end dates. However, if classes are concentrated on studies and boys are strictly extra-curricular during the teen-age years, there are certain advantages in the way of undivided attention to scholarship and opportunities for leadership in student affairs! The residence department offers an invaluable experience in group living to the girls who are fortunate enough to experience it. They have the benefit of training and supervision under the head of the residence department and housemothers chosen for their understanding of young people. In the Boarders’ Council, they learn the fundamental principles of effective self-government. The give and take of living together during these early years provides the soundest possible basis for happy family and community relations and good citizenship during future years. ... of Spiritual Guidance . . . Twice a week classes are given for the study and discussion of the Old and New estaments, Christian and Church History, and the possible influence of basic Kristian truths in working out the problems of everyday life. There are also in t c pper School discussion classes in the area of Christian Ethics.

THE SCHOOL AND THE PARENTS Since the Hall places great emphasis on high standards of conduct and behavior it asks the home to cooperate closely in these important matters. Before placing a student at the Hall, parents have, it is assumed, acquainted themselves with the aims, rules, and regulations and are willing to conform. Active parents’ associations in the three divisions of the Hall invite all parents to become members. Meetings are held regularly. Frequently speakers of reputation bring topics of special interest before these parents’ groups. Individual reports are sent out to parents four times a year in the upper and lower schools. It is hoped and expected that parents will keep in frequent touch with the school and with the individual teachers. The Director of the School and the Principals of the Lower School and Preschool will always welcome visits of parents. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Home Study Each Hall student is expected to make school his or her main interest, Monday through Friday at the close of tire school day. Attendance at movies, theatres, or parties should be discouraged on week nights. Parents are asked to cooperate by seeing that their children follow regular study schedules at home, uninterrupted S°"°r rfadl°: ^cause parents frequently inquire about a time schedule the faTthSTiy’ hr f0 l°rS SUmted schedule is g‘ven. with recognition of the fact that it applies to the needs of the average student: Lower School: - £* !

The school also asks that, in so far as is possible, all medical and dental work be taken care of during vacation periods or, if that is impossible, that appointments be made for Saturdays. Health Program Under the supervision of a resident nurse, a sound and rigorous health program is pursued. Careful daily inspection of the younger children is held. All students returning after any illness must report to the nurse before going to classes. These regulations serve to protect all the students. The nurse will make necessary appoint­ ments with physicians or dentists and will accompany resident students who are keeping such appointments.

Luncheon •; I ■ The Hall maintains two dining rooms, one for the younger children, and the larger one, in which Grades IV through VIII and the Upper School have their luncheon. Care is taken by our Dietitian to provide balanced, wholesome, and inviting meals. Upper School students are required to buy their luncheons at school. In the Lower School this is optional. A place is provided for those children who wish to bring their lunches from home. We do feel, however, that, whenever possible, it is better for growing children to have a noon meal in which one dish, at least, is hot. $ 50.00 per semester Luncheon rates are $100.00 for the school year 9 r :: : j ; | ; �Incidental Expense Accounts rr ^— - of dry cleaning, laundry, and other like expenses may be char Jd ^ “c* °f reS,dent studei'‘s, -ed by the parents.

Fee, payable to St. Helen’s Hall, is $62.50 per semester, for two-way transporta­ tion; $32.50 for one-way. For those using city transportation, there are convenient arrangements. The Mount Tabor bus, marked Hall Street, passes St. Helen’s Hall. It may be boarded on S. W. Morrison Street, anywhere below Eleventh Avenue. Special Reductions Children of clergymen and children of Army and Navy personnel, on active duty or on a retired basis, are given 10% reduction. Siblings also receive a 10% reduction in fees. These reductions are on tuition only and do not apply to board and room, or transportation. 10 ■*? i �Monthly Payment Plan Since some parents prefer to pay tuition and other fees*in nine equal monthly installments during the academic year, we are glad to offer this convenience through special arrangement with the Business Office. A three percent carrying charge is made for this service. Should this payment plan contract become delinquent, the School reserves the right to drop the student without further notice. The Tuition Refund Plan It should be understood that a student is entered for the entire academic ye ar or for such part of it as may remain after date of entrance. The fact that the fee is payable in two separate installments or in monthly payments does not constitute a contract for part of the school year only. i No deduction can be granted for absence or withdrawal of a student as a result of illness, accident, or any other cause. However, The Tuition Refund Plan, which gives parents an opportunity to protect themselves against loss of tuition* room, and boarding fees, when a student is absent or withdrawn on account of accident or illness, is available at low cost. A leaflet explaining this Plan is sent out with the first tuition bills in September. While the Plan is optional, we recommend it to the consideration of parents or guardians.

HELEN’S HALL offers to all its students, a wholesome, happy atmosphere in which they may grow from child­ hood into youth, with cultivated, disciplined minds, and with a deepening knowledge of spiritual values. Because their emotional maturing is carefully fostered, it envisions for them an integrated adulthood, free from fear and free from prejudice. In its small classes, with the guidance of trained and con­ secrated teachers, the Hall encourages, stimulates and guides the student toward the best use of her individual abilities and talents. A well-rounded program lays the foundation for an adult life, which shall offer vital service to the community. Through daily Chapel services, through daily association with its beloved Chaplain, through courses in religious edu­ cation, the Hall works to give to all its students moral strength to mold Christian character, and to develop unshakeable integrity, — these to be an invincible shield throughout life. The Hall’s slower pace enables it to educate all in the “grace of good manners,” that outward sign of in­ ward character. In the oneness of its three major divisions, preschool, lower school and upper school, St. Helen’s Hall offers to its pupils an opportunity for a continuing school life whereby , f sa f educational security will promote emotional security. Above all, in its awareness of the seriousness and sacredness of its responsibility, St. Helen’s Hall realizes that it must train all who come so that “they may love whatsoever things are pure and lovely and of good report.” �•// THEN AND NOW Founded by the Right Reverend B. Westar Morris, D.D., Bishop of Oregon, St. Helen’s Hall was opened in 1869, just two years after the admission of Oregon to Statehood. It was organized under the Episcopal Diocese to meet and serve the needs of the daughters of pioneer fam­ ilies. Miss May B. Rodney, sister-in-law of Bishop Morris, was the first Headmistress. By 1890, the Hall had outgrown its first quarters and a fine new building on Vista Avenue was put up. Unhappily, this was totally destroyed by fire in 1914. Temporary ar­ rangements were utilized, until, in 1918, the Hall was moved to its present site. There, from one building to eight, St. Helen’s Hall has grown and expanded with the years, as demands were made on its services by an ever-enlarging community. The original Morris Hall houses the Chapel, administra­ tion offices, library, dining rooms, infirmary, staff bedrooms, the kitchens and laundry. Scott Hall, a residence for the girls of the Upper School, is a modern, extremely well-equipped building with every living comfort, and with a lounge and sun- deck for leisure hours. Scadding Hall contains the auditorium and stage, the music office, the classrooms for domestic art, the senior homeroom and a small, but well equipped kitchen, to facilitate entertaining. The Lower School is housed in a modern, one-story build­ ing which contains, in addition to attractive classrooms, the domestic science unit. The Chapel here seats approximately two hundred students. A library, with gayly muraled walls, offers an ideal spot for browsing and study. The adjacent gymnasium completes the buildings of the main quadrangle. On the opposite side of Thirteenth Avenue is the Pre­ school, with large play areas on either side. Next to it is the home of the Lower School girls who are residents. With its own Housemother, this smaller unit functions as a happy family. There is a homey living-room, and a small kitchen �: •> l ■A ''' «I»3 [:" v : * 1 TV " ■/ ' v V)j* + ■'■’ k' \ ■' After a long journey around the Horn, the bell found its home at the first St, Helen's Hall.

A residence for the Headmistresses contains a parent’s suite, where visiting parents may stay, if they wish, when they come to Portland. In such cases, meals may be eaten, with their daughters, in the main dining hall. Serving the daughters of Oregon’s prominent Episcopal families, the Hall also welcomes girls of all creeds, uniting them in an atmosphere retaining “the grace and dignity of a venerable past,” but infecting them with “the breadth and vision of a growing and ever-challenging future.” �f tl i !’ \ A WARM WELCOME AWAITS YOU �riP-SK YOUR ROOM IS YOUR "HOME AWAY FROM HOME". IT IS A PLACE FOR REST, STUDY AND FUN. ,■* �J W E LIVE TOGETHER For its residents, St. Helen’s Hall desires, above all else, to provide a Christian home environment. As a church school, we exist on a religious level. As a family, we gather after dinner for a few moments of evening prayer in our Chapel. We attend church on Sunday, and for those girls who do not wish to attend the Episcopal church, and who so state at the beginning of the school year, arrangements are made to attend churches of their own denomina­ tion. We strive to make our life God-centered, knowing that this is the best way to keep us all happy and secure. We are never pious, we hope, but neither are we afraid to acknowl­ edge Christ as our leader. Through a balanced schedule of study, play, and light household tasks, all are helped to understand the wise use of time. Freedom is increased and privileges extended as students demonstrate their ability to assume responsibility. f YOU WON’T GO HUNGRY HERE ■ V �f$3gsm 3iMpi y ;* ;v,y fte.2'- A UKELELE AND A CORN POPPER INSURE A HAPPY HOUR r A House Council, together with floor proctors, who are under the jurisdiction of Housemothers, supervises dormitory life. Weekends, are welcomed for the leisure they bring. Group attendance at concerts and plays is arranged through­ out the year. Full advantage is taken of other cultural opportunities as they occur. Visiting, with family and friends is encouraged on Sundays, after, church. One week­ end away from the Hall is permitted during those months in which there is no long vacation. Saturday shopping trips are usual. Adequate chaperonage is provided and students are expected, when chaperoned to plays or concerts, to divide the cost of the chaperone’s participation. A lounge, exclusively for the use of the girls residing in Scott Hall, and an informal living room in the Cottage, home of the “graders,” provides a homelike place to relax, to serve Sunday night suppers, or to entertain day students in the late afternoon. ��THE SCHOOL AT PLAY Knowing that all work and no play is bound to make Jill a very dull girl indeed, the school calendar allows for many social events, some of which are impromptu, but many of which have become traditional. Year after year the girls delight in the following events: OLD GIRL —NEW GIRL TEA The old girls entertain the new girls, together with their parents, at a formal tea during Registration Week. Former students act as hostesses and as guides on “conducted tours” of the buildings. SENIOR DINNER On the night before the formal opening of school, town and resi­ dent seniors meet at dinner to talk over the summer’s experiences and make plans for the year. HALLOWE’EN The first fall “informal” takes place at this time. In the lower school, a traditional masquerade party is held, all parading mer­ rily through the halls of the upper school. Prizes are awarded for the cleverest and the funniest costumes. OUR MERRY CHRISTMAS The week that precedes Christmas vacation is one of intense ac­ tivity. It climaxes the fall program and catches up everyone into a spirit of jollity and good will. Beginning with the trimming of the great tree in Scadding Hall, (followed by hot chocolate and cookies in Scott Hall lounge), there is given, the next night, the Christmas play and Nativity pageant. At the close of this moving scene, the upper school girls, together with those of grades VII and VIII, lay at the foot of the Crib, their gifts for the less for­ tunate boys and girls of Portland. Gifts, tree, and all the school, both young and old, receive the Christmas blessing of the Bishop. A backstage party for the cast brings to a close this memorable day. The next night is the Annual Christmas Dinner, of Trustees, Faculty, and students. A truly gala time “is had by all.” Santa Claus finds gifts in his pack for everyone. Sleepy-eyed perhaps, but happy, all start out next morning in a motor caravan to de­ liver, personally, the gifts that had been placed at the Crib. On the last morning, the Choir goes carolling through the halls, and at noon, following the dismissal bell, gay goodbyes resound on every side. �M I YOU START FOR MT. HOOD AND HERE YOU HAVE ARRIVED. �SOPHOMORE FORMAL is a laic winter dance. BOARDER S DANCE is usually given on St. Patrick’s Day and is a dinner dance. MAY DAY here, as at most schools, is one of the year’s most beautiful events. The crowning of the May Queen, surrounded by her lovely Court, climaxes a program which is directed by the Fine Arts depart­ ment. This is followed by an evening dance in Scadding Hall. THE SENIOR PLAY is given late in April. Its purpose is to raise money for the senior gift to the school. SKIP DAY! Sometime in May, there comes a day when there simply are no seniors to be seen about — come dawn, they have skipped out. Only the Headmistress knows when this day will fall. SENIOR WEEKEND is another late spring event. It is a long weekend at the shore, for both day and resident students. SILVER TEA This is a farewell tea given by the seniors for faculty and lower classmen. It is planned to take place to bring the stress of exam week to a quiet close. COMMENCEMENT This week of weeks, opens with Baccalaureate Sunday. The serv­ ice is held at Trinity Church, Dr. Lansing Kempton traditionally gives the parting address. Class Day, on Monday, opens with luncheon on the terrace. In the afternoon, honors and awards are given out by Bishop Dagwell at a formal assembly in Scadding Hall. Then dawns the greatest day of all — Commencement Day itself. The Exercises take place in the evening at Trinity Church. As the crowning of four years of work and play, every effort is made to see that this is an occasion of unforgettable beauty. j A 2 a% S; a ■ �YOU FIND PARTNERS APLENTY THERE ARE NO DULL JILLS HERE �*• . . «C3*S . OUR UPPER SCHOOL The upper school provides a cur­ riculum designed primarily to prepare students for college. Some freedom of choice is offered, mainly in the junior and senior years, but these choices are largely determined by college entrance requirements. For the girl who does not intend to enter college, or who may be preparing to make her contribution to society in other fields of activity, a general course of study is offered, allowing for a wider latitude of choice. However, in both courses the traditional standards of good scholarship and fine character must be maintained. The diploma of the Hall is awarded to those students who fulfill the basic requirements, as listed below. For those stu­ dents whose program, because of frequent transfer or be­ cause of the necessity of special study, cannot fill these basic requirements, a certificate is given. This certificate is based on the requirements for graduation from high school, as determined by the State Department of Education. A mini­ mum of sixteen credits is required for graduation. Required subjects, with their credit values, are listed below: 4 English 2, 3, or 4 Languages 2 or 3 Mathematics 2 or 3 Science 3 Social Studies Speech Arts Christian Education 2 periods per week 3 periods per week Health Education including team sports, modern dance, swimming, home nursing, and first aid. ELECTIVE CREDITS Advanced Algebra Art Chemistry Chorus General Mathematics Home Management Music Appreciation Second Foreign Language Typing �EVEN STUDY CAN BE PLEASANT �Description of Courses ENGLISH The English courses have as their basis, the development of communica­ tion skills, both written and oral. This work includes directed reading, grammar, composition, letter writ­ ing, word attack (spelling, phonics, vocabulary) and literature. This school predicates its teaching on the belief that “Reading is think­ ing. Readers read as well as they think and no better.” A student's vocabulary is as indicative of her mentality as an intelligence quotient. All subjects in school depend on the ability to read. For this reason, the girls are taught to recognize and interpret patterns of writ­ ing. They are required to learn the techniques of outlining, recognizing key ideas, and summarizing. This technical instruction is supplemented by adequate required and independent reading programs of the classics as well as contemporary writers. Our objectives are to foster a love of books and to familiarize the girls with the various types of writing; short stories, novels, biography, essays, poetry and plays. Training in the use of the library is considered an integral part of the English instruction. Good speech is emphasized at all times. Individual diagnosis is made bv the use of a recording machine. Students are trained to take part in panel discussions and to direct a meeting according to parliamentary form. Every effort is made by direct instruction to teach the techniques of how to study effectively. . f r - r* LANGUAGES Latin is the preferred choice for freshmen, although French may be chosen as the beginning language. The school believes that Latin has great importance as a basic study for the understanding and clarifying of the English language. Further, the student learns of the great and ever­ lasting contributions of the Roman world to our modern civilization. r MODERN LANGUAGES In French and Spanish, the basic skills in oral and written forms are thoroughly taught. Every effort is made to give the student a wide, cul­ tural knowledge of the French and Spanish people, by learning their his­ tory, their literature, and their contributions to contemporai\ life. A French table at luncheon is planned to give selected students daily prac­ tice in the social amenities of that language. �MATHEMATICS The courses in Mathematics aim to give the student a workable foundation in concepts and skills, by teaching through organization and exact expression, logical and orderly thinking. Algebra and Geometry are required in the college preparation course and ad­ vanced Algebra is offered for those whose College Boards require it. A course in applied Arithmetic is planned for those students who are weak in the fundamental processes or for those who wish to pursue further the subject matter undertaken in grades VII and VIII. This course includes personal and household budgeting, installment buying, loans, investment practice, taxes, and other practical problems. SACRED STUDIES Each year the student follows a definite course of study, designed to give her a knowl edge and appreciation of the Bible. Through discussion and personal conferences, every effort is made to develop such interest in the spiritual values of life that a sound Chris­ tian character will emerge. Daily attendance at Chapel services teaches that the worship of God is an integral part of their daily lives rather than a ritual reserved for once a week. ?i * 5 YOU WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR CHAPEL HOURS ] : ! �. &£t ppwv I COTTAGE LIVING THEY'RE GOOD I DRAWING OUR ALLOWANCES �TAPPED FOR HELENAS WONDERFUL NEWS? •TIS MODERN DANCE �T 'T' 111lis 3 v v .,|-'l■ • is®ini pp^ v • -r <m. .«-* r:U%SlH '.:"■ .I--- ":'% m #§ m ' .w ; i i: idf ;’v '*■ ! ■■ 1 i • •9 SENIOR STARS LOVE'S YOUNG DREAM ALL IN THE "WRECK" ROOM �A SOLEMN MOMENT IPJT \m Tw" ; T in: ! �THE ARTS: Drama, Art, Music The opportunity to create, as well as to appreciate, is vital to all youth.

READY FOR ’‘OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY” HEALTH EDUCATION Every girl must participate in the program of Health Education, unless certified to the contrary by her own physician. Tennis, archery, bad­ minton, volleyball and basketball, are our major sports. Teams lake part in city-wide tournaments, as well as in inter-class and inter-school com­ petition. Swimming is a required subject. Each girl will be expected to obtain her Lifesaving Certificate before being graduated. A twelve-weeks program of skiing, under competent European instruct­ ors, is offered during January, February and March. Occasional skiing weekends at Timberline Lodge are planned. Riding is a favorite sport and classes are held weekly at the Portland Hunt Club. Home nursing and first aid are required courses. This work is under the direction of the Red Cross. The Hall recognizes that correct health habits play a large role in i a happy and successful life. Health records are kept of all students. Periodic examinations are required. Audiometer tests are made of all students, as are Chest X-Rays. A resident nurse is on duty at all times. �■ h YOU IMITATE THE SEAL .j . - �r SOCIAL STUDIES Ancient and Medieval History This course is planned to give students a knowledge of past civilizations and of their relationship with the present. It will also afford them an understanding of the frequent allusions made lo the men, events, and ideas of the two periods. U. S. History Our purpose in this course is to gain a knowledge and an appreciation of our American heritage, so that we may preserve and strengthen it through intelligent citizenship. Contemporary problems are discussed in the light of the forces that have brought them about, and attention is given to previous efforts made to solve them. American Problems Current problems, social, economic, and political, will be analyzed and compared with the same problems in other nations. These problems, being rooted in the past, will also be studied against an historical background. THE SCIENCES General Science Here the major courses are briefly introduced and the way indicated for further individual study. All levels of capacity for high school work are tapped in this course . For all, there has been a revealing of nature’s laws. For those who are to continue in Biology and Chemistry, a broad basis and a valuable scientific vocabulary have been acquired. Biology Our course is alive. We study marine life on our Oregon beaches, native as well as cultivated trees, shrubs and flowers, as we find them on our campus or on the neigh­ boring hillsides. Emphasis is placed, always, on the conservation of, as well as the eco­ nomic value, of our flora and fauna. Human physiology is the climax of the study of all animal life. Chemistry This is taught with the greatest cm phasis upon a thorough background for future college courses. Students perform their own experiments with excellent equipmen l Our texts and laboratory books are always the newest and best obtainable. �YOU EXPERIMENT TESTS AND GUIDANCE Objective testing is a vital part of our school’s educational philosoph) .

OTHER GRADERS LIKE TO READ HERE. ��! > OUR LOWER SCHOOL The Lower School, comprising grades I through VIII, has as its definite objective, the development of a healthy, happy, integrated personality. Working, studying, and playing in small groups, under friendly teachers, the lower school chil­ dren develop as individuals, at their individual speeds, to­ ward a common goal. The pupils learn to evaluate their own abilities and to understand that being different in some things does not necessarily mean being inferior. The child who finds Spelling difficult may gleefully lead the rest in Arithmetic. One may “read anything at seven;” another may take two years longer to attain the same proficiency. In the total picture, all will have acquired a mastery of the basic skills of education — those old-fashioned three-R’s. These skills hold first place in all grades. Drill in these funda­ mentals is not only necessary, but indispensable. However, there still remains time for the “frills” of our modern day. Besides Reading, Arithmetic, oral and written Language, and the specialized Arts, great emphasis is given to Social Studies. These, History and Geography, are taught in corre­ lation with other subjects, according to the best educational practices.

Through daily inspection by the nurse, by a balanced diet under the supervision of a trained dietitian, in a safe, adequate and sanitary plant, each child is assured of proper physical growth and of the development of sound health habits. Mental development is promoted through a program rich in guided experiences. Creative materials are used as a constructive release. On the social level, active group play gives opportunity for understanding and enjoying otheis. This parallels the necessary give-and-take of the more ma­ in a ture life.

In June, 1904, by the request of ^ the Board of Trustees, the Sisters of St. John Baptist undertook the charge of the school. #1m The work has been steadily carried on since that time, and has met, as all 'believe, a very real need in the Diocese, and been blessed with increased usefulness. I The aim of S't. Helen’s Hall is to provide for girls the best possible facilities for complete education. This means not only the cultivation of the intellect and the acquirement of graceful, womanly accomplishments, but also such moral and religious training; as shall help the pupils to become pure, true women, with a high, posi­ tive: standard of Christian living, to* bring out in every girl some qualities of leadership, and to develop a right sense of her personal responsibility, so that she may be­ come a power for good in her home, and in the com­ munity in which she lives. 3 �\ \ ; : : ! v Ift i m: aj I 1 . : mm ■! .. h |r • ; ' i ! i I1 ! ? < �If i/ ■ ■ Ji £: 1 r i <1 £ ’if: I S ii:b ■ ;l ‘ 1 jl St. Helen’s Hall is now situated on Thirteenth Street, between Montgomery and Hall Streets. It is a i handsome three-story brick building, adapted for the accommodation of about thirty-five resident pupils, and i a large number of day pupils. There are excellent class < rooms with all the necessary equipment to meet the : > » | demands of a modern standardized school, large sunny . !' halls of unusual attractiveness, spacious grounds, and an out-door gymnasium where tennis, basketball, and sports of all kinds are played throughout the year. J ! 5 I. I•t ; �! » r jtv £ i I I: The interior administration of the school has been entrusted to the Sisters of St. John Baptist, who have the. general superintendence of every department. In secular studies they are assisted by a staff of efficient instructors, college graduates, especially trained for their wotk. 3: ' I !• l i A daily record is kept of the attendance, scholarship, and deportment of every pupil, and a report of the same is mailed to parents at the close of each quarter. ; Pupils failing, after a fair trial, to attain the required standard of scholarship or deportment, will not be re­ tained in the school. The Sister Superior will always be glad to receive visits from the parents of pupils. Sejjarlmrnts The school consists of three department: a Musical Kindergarten, the Lower School and the Upper School. I 1 ; 1) i The Lower School includes the six classes covering rn English and Arithmetic the same ground as the Ele­ mentary public school to the Seventh Grade, but with a broader range of subjects. The Upper School covers six years and is divided into two courses—The College Preparatory Course and the General Course. Two extra years of either col6 fu !; I i = ■ �legiate or special work may be taken if desired. The First and Second Forms of the Upper School correspond with the Seventh and Eighth grades of the Public School, and the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Forms correspond with the four years of the High School work. Beginning with the Third Form, the Upper School is divided into College Preparatory Course and the General Course. St. Helen's ITall is a standard school of Oregon, and is accredited to all the Western College and Univer­ sities. This allows students to enter without examinations. And the work is accepted by the Eastern Cdlleges according to the new entrance requirements, The passing grade of the School is 75 per cent. The recom­ mending grade of the School to Western Universities is 85 per cent. For entrance to Stanford University on the preferred list, and for the Eastern Colleges an aver­ age of 90 per cent is required. The College Course is especially for pupils prepar­ ing for Eastern Colleges. All Eastern Colleges are not uniform in their requirements, but entrance examinations are necesjary for all.Therefore it is advisable for students preparing for them, to take their preliminary examina­ tions at the end of the second year, and in some instances one or two may be taken at the end of the first year. This allows a better distribution of the work and lessens the strain of the Senior year. 7 �I 1 1 :• i 1 n m: ■ ■ I m v ■ 8 ■ i •• �' : ii i , I We urge parents who intend to send their daughters to College, to register them in one or more Colleges or Universities very early in the'i'r school life. This step is necessary because of the crowded condition of these institutions, especially so of the major eastern colleges. It is also a wise one because the pupil s preparatory work may then be definitely planned to fit her for whatever college sJhe desires to enter, without undue pressure in her Junior and Senior year. In the General Course no credit will be given for less than two years’ work in any language. German or Spanish may be substituted for French throughout the course. Pupils may enter any class for which they are prepared, but the Diploma of St. Helen s Hall is not given for less than two years’ attendance. This course meets the requirements of all Western Universities and Colleges. The General Course is intended for pupils desiring to lay the foundation of a broad general education, and meets the requirements of those universities and col­ leges which do not require four years’ preparatory work in Latin. In it the time, which in the College Preparatory Course is necessarily spent in Latin, is devoted to Literature, History and Modern Languages, Much of the work is common to both courses, and the standard of thoroughness is the same. I H ' ; Ii \ ; < Ii !: ii ill s H Music, Art and Elocution count as regular elective studies in the* General Course. A four-years course in 9 !l I 1 ' f. ; �: w I: i; i .• ; b\ any one of these subjects, satisfactorily completed, will be taken into account for graduation. < \i Engltelj V i \ f ! The aim in thi’s course is to give pupils thorough instruction in English Grammar and Rhetoric, to enable them to write with ease and ac­ curacy, and to teach them to appreciate what is best in English Literature. Throughout the School the read­ ing matter is carefully selected and in the fourth and fifth years of the Upper School history of English Lit­ erature is studied. After this the work consists chiefly in the writing of compositions and the critical study of English masterpieces, especially those required for College Entrance Examinations. In these courses the aim is to enable the pupil to ' read the languages at sight and speak and write them easily. 3Fmtclj anil Slants!) j \):: li f I‘ i *1 In order to acquire a good pronunciation, the study of French should be begun in the Lower School, the lessons at first being in the form of conversation and easy reading. Afterward grammar and translation are begun. In the last year of the course, French composi­ tion, history and literature are studied. French or Spanish may be begun in the third year of the Upper School and carried to the point required for admission to college or beyond it as may be de­ sired. Attention is paid to pronunciation, conversation u ; ; )\ 10 �and sight reading, as well as to grammar and transla­ tion, and French and Spanish songs and plays form a part of the course. “Latin and Greek are not regarded as dead languages except in the sense that all language of books not in our era is dead. They are living in the sense that the English of Chaucer and the Italian of Dante are alive, dead only to those to whom for lack of knowledge they are sealed books.”— JLnt'm a«& 8rwk (Cambridge School Mannual.) A four years* course in Latin is provided, meeting the usual college requirements in Caesar, Cicero, Virgil, Ovid, sight reading, and prose composition, adapted to the new comprehensive examinations of the College En­ trance Board. The course in Greek covers thre.e years, the previous I I work in Latin having prepared the pupil for its intelli­ gent study. The first year is given to grammar and exercises, the second to Xenophon, the third to Homer. It is desirable, though not essential, that pupils prepar ing for college should elect Greek as their third language. i!' •! \ , ) The study of History is begun in the Lower School and continued to the end of the school course. In the Cbliegei Preparatory Course it 1 necessarily limited to the Eastern college requirements Siiatarg 1 6 11 . ii : �which, however, are constantly increasing both as to quantity and quality. In the General Course five courses of history are offered. The topical method is approved, collateral reading is encouraged. Maps are drawn, and historical geography is held to be an important part of the work. History and English are intimately associ­ ated, pupils being required to commit to memory his­ torical poems, and to write compositions on subjects drawn from historical lessons. The school is fortunate in possessing a fairly good, though small, library of history, and literature bearing upon it. “In teaching mathematics the aim is to develop the spirit of enquiry, the habit of accuracy in reasoning, and the love of truth." (Cam­ bridge School Manual) i®atl|mattr0 The prescribed course comprises Arithmetic, Alge­ bra and Plane Geometry; elective, Solid Geometry and Trigonometry. Throughout the course original work is encouraged and set rules are avoided. The pupils are encouraged to lely as little as possible upon text books. Phis department is conducted in accordance with the best scientific methods. NaturalPIistory is taught in connection with Geography in the Lower School. In the Upper School the subjects are taken up as indicated in the course of study, Laboratory work is required of all students of science. It is Btxtntt 12 �considered that one or two sciences, each thoroughly studied for not less than one year, will do more for the pupil’s intellectual development than a larger amount of superficial work. Cookery—Laboratory and lecture classes in the theory and practice of cookery, together with modification of its laws. Somealtr Satire Foods—Their history, care, composition, cost and nutritiv-e value. Plain Hand and Machine Sewing—Bringing into use the primary stitches with their modifications and combi­ nations, and developing the simpler rules of garment making. This course is both cultural and practical as no student is received solely for the business training. g^mtarial (ttmtnu? All pupils receive instruction Holy Scripture and the History of the Church, and attend the daily services in the Chapel of the School. Resident pupils attend service on Sunday morning in one of the city Churches. SWtgious iuBtrurtimt • Pupils may study music, piano, violin, voice, theory, harmony, etc., in the school.

The technical work is drawn from the best sources, and pieces are selected from the great mass of old and new musical literature, according to the needs of the students. When they are sufficiently advanced, ensemble playing, duos, trios and quartettes may be studied. Pupils arc encouraged to attend the concerts offered throughout the season in the city. For advanced students a course in History of Music is offered. . y t B HO M I i 1 * < C ! The school of the Portland Art Association of­ Art fers special advantages to those wishing to study Art, and a noted Portland artist is on the teach­ ing staff of the School. The course includes elementary drawing, painting, modeling, sketching, composition, portrait and life study. Advanced students may also join the Art History and the Composition Class. Work in applied design is permitted when the pupils are suf­ ficiently advanced to carry out the principles studied. Art students may also join a class in Arts and Crafts, or may take special training in metal work, wood carv­ ing, etc. ! 1 : .i 1 m ; ■■ B ■''[$ ■ Short plays or scenes from plays Sramattr tExpmunmt are studied during the year as part of the regular work of the School.

I ' Supervised Athletics are emphasiz­ ed and are under the direction of an instructor of wide experience. Careful attention is given to the physical health of the pupil. Regular outof-door work is expected of all students. A physical ex­ amination of new students is required, that they may be guarded against the danger of overfatigue or too stren­ uous exercise. This examination may be made by the family physician or by the school physician.

Ample grounds pro­ vide for tennis courts, basket-ball, volley-ball, baseball, and archery in season. And opportunity is offered at a moderate cost for riding and swimming under proper supervision. Intejrclass and interscholastic basket-ball and tennis-matches are held each year,—not in order to make records, but to encourage the spirit of true sport.

A Sister, assisted by the resident nurse, 'has the care of the pupils’ health. Especi'al atten­ tion is paid' to manners and bearing. A short list of correspondents and visitors, signed by the parents, is required. Letters addressed to others than those on the list will be forwarded unopened to parents or guardians. Luring the term no pupil will be allowed to pass a night in town out of the school building except with her relatives or friends approved by the parents with the consent of the Sister Superior. Pupils m'ay not visit any­ where without the consent of parents or guardians. They may receive their friends on Saturdays and on week days out of school hours. Parents and members of the im­ mediate family may visit the pupils on Sunday also. Strangers must bring a letter of introductionfromparents or guardian. i The pupils will be allowed to visit on Saturday those friends in the city whom the parents may designate, pro­ vided those friends accompany them to and from the school, as they may not go about the city unaccompanied at any time. Those desiring it, h'ave the privilege of doing a limited amount of shopping, or attending places of amusement Saturday afternoon accompanied by the School Chaperon. ill Resident pupils will be allowed once in each month to spend Saturday and Sunday away from the school. Pupils whose homes are not in Portland are required to !• : Pi ■ ’ i 26 = i ! �i -i Pi ! be resident pupils at the school, The intention is to have the school family consist of earnest girls who will cheerfully adapt themselves to such regulations as are found necessary. No pupil who shows herself impatient of control, or whose general tone and influence is harm ful, can be permitted to remain in the school. f ■I Pupils are expected at all times to keep their rooms in order. A supervised mending class is held Saturday morn­ ings for all pupils with the exception of the Seniors. The School activities of the girls have the purpose of training them not only in ease, poise, and grace of manner, but also of developing those qualities of initiative, responsibility, and tact, indispens­ able to every woman. Mortal fCtfr A splendid library containing the works of standard autliprs, is accessible, and a number of the best current magazines are provided for the use of the students. ' ■; The Glee Club, Athletic Association, dancing, birth­ day dinners, various charitable activities, and the school publication, give variety to the school routine. ? A* i Teas, recitals, two formal dances for the older girls; and, toward the end of the year, the Juniors’ formal luncheon for the Seniors, and the Alumnae Luncheon, give opportunity for more general social life.

A limited number of scholarships are avail­ able for girls of ability. Several School honors are awarded each year at Commencement. grljnlarsfjtjts rntii ffimtnrfi The Bishop offers a competitive scholarship prize to the Junior who passes the Eastern College Enterance Board Examinations in six points with the highest aver­ age. The Pittock cups for French and English are won by the students receiving the highest grades in the same Board Examinations in these subjects; and the Alumnae Association cup and the Ball cup are given similarly for honors in Latin and Mathematics. The Alumnae Association pin is given to the Senior who obtains the highiest average in studies and deportmdnt in the Senior year; and the students compete yearly for the Medal of the National Society of Colonial Daugh­ ters, and for the Lincoln Medal. There are several cups to be won for Athletics. First Testimonials—the Plighest Honors of the! School —are awarded to pupils attaining 99 per cent in conduct for the year, 90 per ceint in attendance, 95 per cent in punctuality and order, and an average for the year of 90 per cent in each study. Second Testimonials are awarded to pupils attaining 98 per cent for the ye'ar in conduct, 90 per cent in attend­ ance, punctuality and order, and an average for the year of 85 per cent in each study. 29 �r iExpnt sts The terms for hoard and tuition are payable: $425, including advance deposit, on entrance, and the balance, $375, on January 30th.

Wistar Morris, D.D., and first opened on the 6th day of September. 1S69, with Miss Mary B. Rodney as Principal, Miss Lydia Rodney as First As­ sistant and Miss Clementina Rodney in charge of the music depart­ ment. It opened with three teachers and fifty pupils, and closed with six teachers and a hundred and thirty-two pupils. T Three-quarters of the block of ground upon which the school was built was purchased of the widow of Bishop Scott and the remaining two lots of Mr. Charles Holman. This valuable site was secured largely through the liberality of Mr. John D. Wolfe and his daughter, Miss Catharine Wolf, of New York City, whose large-hearted gener­ osity should ever be remembered in recalling the early history of this institution. The school continued its work in the original buildings on Fourth street, between Madison and Jefferson, until the year 1890, when the property was sold to the city of Portland for the use of a city hall. On the 9th of June of that year the corner-stone of the present large and commodious building was laid and the school of one hund­ red and thirty pupils removed thither on the 24th of February of the next year, having taken temporary quarters in the former building which was removed to the corner of Twelfth and Main streets. The whole number of pupils this year was one hundred and seventy-four. The school remained for twenty-seven years in charge of Miss Mary B. Rodney and her sisters, Miss Lydia Rodney and Miss Clem­ entina Rodney, with varied attendance in the number of its pupils, until nearly two thousand girls of this Northwest Coast had passed under their teaching and influence. Alter Miss Rodney’s death—on the 15U1 of April, 1S96—the school was continued to the close of the term in its full and regular course of instruction and discipline by Miss Lydia Rodney and Miss Clementina Rodney who for this same long period of years had served the church in their high calling with a spirit of zeal and devotion, not even second to that of their sister. �12 SAINT HELEN'S HALL, The school opened this, the twenty-eighth year of its history, with Miss Eleanor Tebbetts, Ph. D., as Principal, assisted by an effic ient corps of instructors selected from among graduates of eastern colleges and prominent schools both east and west. It is the aim of the Rector and Board of Directors, through the agency of the Principal, to make every department of the school as strong and complete as possible. The high standard of Christian culture and training that has characterized this institution in the past is maintained and, at the same time, patrons are given the benefit of the latest approved methods of instruction. * �clbe School. * The school comprises four departments: Primary and Kindergarten. Academic, Intermediate, The Kindergarten and Primary Departments are under the same supervision and closely allied in method, the principles of the Kin­ dergarten appearing in a modified form in the Primary. The Primary course of study will occupy four years. The first and second years of the Intermediate course continue and broaden the work of the Primary; the third and fourth are distinctly Preparatory to the Academic. Latin is begun in this part of the course. The Academic department offers four co-ordinate courses, any one of which satisfactorily completed, will entitle a student to the diploma of the school. These courses. Classical, Latin-Scientific, English and College Preparatory, will run in parallel lines through the&first years—until, in fact, differentiation becomes necessary. The qualitv of the work in these courses will not differ. The educational aim of the school is to give thorough and wellordered instruction to girls and young women, fitting them for college when that is desired. The teachers are, for the most part, specialists carefully chosen for scholarship and professional training. jEncilisb. Throughout the course, the object sought to be attained in teachi„g English is to give the child the ability to understand the ex­ pressed thought of others and to express thoughts of her own. It is also intended to give her some acquaintat.ee w.th literature, and to cultivate a taste for reading, that she may enlarge this acquaintance. Every teacher is held responsible for the use of good English on the part of pupils whatever the subject taught. It is urged that all pupils take at least the first two years of the Latin course, owing to its im­ portant bearing on the English language. Reading aloud is taught, simplicity and clearness of expression and distinctness of enunciation being cultivated. In the early part of the work, the orderly arrange- �r i4 SAINT HELEN'S HALL. meat of the sentence is studied; then the grouping of sentences into paragraphs for the purpose of developing some central idea. Gram­ mar is included in the course of study, the intention being to give the pupil at the age of 12 or 13 years, the ability to recognize the parts of speech and to analyze sentences. Later a thorough course of rhetoric is introduced treating the principles of clearness, form and good taste, of the arrangement of clauses in the sentence and of sentences in the paragraph. The connection of both these subjects with the pupil's actual written work prevents their becoming dry or distasteful. Special effort is made to prevent careless habits in reading with a vague understanding of what is read. Involved sentences receive the attention they require, and historical and other references care arefully traced. Throughout the course the pupil’s knowledge of liter­ ature is gained by reading the connected works of good authors under special guidance. The history of literature and the relations between periods are not neglected but are taught incidentally from the begin­ ning and at all times; and also towards the end of the course by means of a series of lectures. ifrcncb anb (Berman. -1 In these courses the aim is to enable the pupil to read the lan­ guages at sight, and to speak and write them easily. To secure a good pronunciation, oral work is taken up at the beginning and continued throughout the course; this exercise begins in the Primary depart­ ment. As an encouragement to their systematic study, no extra charge is made for instruction in these languages for any student regu­ larly enrolled in the school. A small charge will be made for special classes in conversation and French and German literature. Xatin anb ©reek. This department will be under the direction of a graduate of Cor­ nell who has had a post-graduate course of study at the University of Pennsylvania. The translation of English into Latin and Greek is carried on side by side with other work, this being concededly the best means of securing the necessary grasp of the syntax, forms, idioms and order of the languages, and being very helpful in the ac­ quisition of a vocabulary. Translation at sight is begun as soon as possible with judicious help from the teacher. This exercise is especially useful in enabling the student to use what she has already �SAINT HELEN'S HALL. i5 acquired, stimulating her interest and allowing the teacher to guide in the best methods of approach. The intelligent reading aloud of text already prepared is practiced to secure a correct pronunciation and to give the pupil a feeling for forms and order. Formal transla­ tions are made into good idiomatic English and form a valuable exer­ cise in English. 1biston>. The work begins with elementary studies in biography and myth­ ology, and the ethical side of the subject is illustrated throughout the course by reference to the lives of great men. The topical method is approved. The use of text l>ooks and the exercise of the memory are not discarded, but classwork. especially in the senior classes, con­ sists largely of discussions of the subject matter. Collateral reading is encouraged. The object is to enable pupils to investigate causes and trace consequences, and to recognize the bearing and relative importance of events. Maps are drawn and historical geography is held to be an important part of the work. History and English are intimately associated—pupils being required to commit to memory historical poems, and to write compositions on subjects drawn from historical lessons. The school is fortunate in possessing a fairly good, though small library of history and literature bearing upon it. The Chaplain has charge of the Church History classes. Cbe .iGtble. The Bible is studied systematically, and in connection with it, the geography of Palestine and Egypt. After 1S99 a well co-ordinated knowledge of Hebrew writings and history, as given in the Old Testament, and of history (from various sources) bridging the interval between the Old and New Testaments, will be obligatory upon all students in the Academic department. A like knowledge of New Testament history will be essential as introductory to the study of Church history. Science. This department is in the hands of a specialist and will be con­ ducted in accordance with the best scientific methods. Elementary natural history is taught in the Primary department in close connec­ tion with geography and also with English work In the Intermediate and Academic departments the subjects are taken up as indicated in the course of study. It is intended that there shall be no loose or �i6 SAINT HELEN'S MALI.. careless work in these subjects. The laboratory work is to be under the personal supervision of the teacher in charge, and as far as possi­ ble consists of experiments performed by the pupils themselves who keep records of the experiments they have made and of what they have deduced from them—a method approved by most modern educators. Individual work in the laboratory is required of all students of chemistry, and practical use of the microscope of all students of botany and physiology. The latter studies have been given a new impetus by the addition to the apparatus of the school, within the last few months, of a fine Beck’s microscope with a power of 50 to 570 diameters. Mathematics. The object of the work in this branch is to train the pupil in quick and sure reckoning, in clear thinking, and in accuracy of state­ ment. Rules are, as far as possible, derived inductively, never stated dogmatically. The effort throughout is to make the pupil feel at every step a new power—a new command of principles to be used in future work—to secure, in short, full possession of leading princi­ ples and methods rather than of details. * ���I tTbe Ibome. * The boarding department has special advantages from the situa­ tion of the school building. Situated on a commanding height of the beautiful mountain-girded city of Portland, it is within easy access of the City Park and, surrounded by beautiful grounds, looks out upon the city, the river and the distant snow-topped mountains, The building is heated throughout by hot water circulation and has on all sides pleasant rooms, well-lighted and ventilated. A fire-escape, together with two stairways from the third floor and three from the second floor, provides unusually well against the accident of fire. A resident physician, graduate of the Woman’s Medical College, Philadelphia, cares for the health and physical development of the students. The health of the pupils is insured by regular hours, wholesome food and freedom from all exciting influences. Physical culture receives due attention. Calisthenics, with more than one hour’s daily walk in the open air, forms part of the regular routine. Outdoor sports are encouraged. The number of such sports has beeti increased by the acquisition quite recently of a basket ball ground and tennis court secured to the school through a lease of the block to the east of the school property. At suitable.times and places, and under proper escort, bicycling is allowed. Special attention is paid to the manners and general bearing of pupils. Suggestions from parents in regard to their children are thankfully received. All resident teachers co-operate to render the family life a special feature of the school. Effort is made to promote the improvement as well as the pleasure of pupils. The evening programme is varied by reading good literature, French and German conversation and the discussion of current events. A pleasant reading room, supplied with many of the best periodi­ cals, is provided for the use of the pupils. A resume of the daily news is given each morning at the breakfast table by a member of the faculty deputed to this duty. i. := �20 SAINT HELEN'S HALL. MeOnesi>aE Evenings.

Letters addressed to others than those on the list will be forwarded unopened to parents or guardians. It is desired that pupils shall not fall into extravagant habits, nor spend money needlessly; that their dress should be inexpensive and their pocket money limited. No bills will be paid for the pupils, nor money advanced to them unless a deposit has been made for that purpose. A monthly allowance is recommended as tending to give a young girl a proper sense of the value of money and of responsibility in the use of it. The Principal will cheerfully act as banker in such cases. During the term no pupil will be allowed to pass a night in town out of the school building, except with her parents. Pupils may not visit anywhere without the written consent of par­ ents or guardian. Pupils may receive their friends on Wednesday evenings and on Saturday afternoons, Those who are strangers to the Principal must bring a letter of introduction from parent or guardian.

By means of three car lines, this building is easy of access from all parts of the city. The rooms selected have numerous windows looking to the south and west, thus insuring natural warmth and good light. The heating of the rooms is so regulated as to afford good ventilation. ; 1 his department is intended for boys and girls from three to six years old and the utmost pains is taken to give careful training dur­ ing this most impressionable period of the child’s life.

The best work in school depends upon the regular attendance of every pupil at ever\ recita­ tion. For this reason it is expected that parents will send as few re­ quests as possible for their daughters to be excused from lessons, and only written excuses will be accepted. Permission to leave school before the close of the day session will not be granted without a written request from home stating that the absence is unavoidable, A resident physician and an infirmary render the.school equal to any emergency that may arise during the day session. As a high standard of thoroughness on the part of each pupil is the aim of the Principal and her associates, all lessons lost from any cause must be made up and recited. When the continuity of any study is broken completely and a pupil has fallen behind her class, tutoring at a moderate price will be arranged for if desired by the pupil. A daily record is kept of the attendance, scholarship and deport­ ment of every member of the school, and a report of the same mailed to parents quarterly. Oral and written examinations are given in order to determine progress made, and pupils who fail to pass these examinations will be required to make up the deficiency before promotion. Students who have maintained an exceptionally high standard of daily recitation will be exempt from these examinations. This exemption is possible only to pupils practicing the utmost regularity of attendance. Text books may be procured through the Principal if desired. Pupils in the Academic department should be furnished with a Reference Bible, an English Dictionary and a copy of Shakespere. As a matter of convenience both to the patrons of the school and and to herself, the Principal has set aside the following hours during the school year when she will be glad to receive at the Hall anyone esinng to consult her as to the progress and general interest of indi­ vidual pupils: Mondays, 5 to 9 P.M.; School days (except Friday) 10 to 12 A.M. �aerms. * T)ie charge for Boarding Pupils for the term is $i 60.00 This includes Board, Washing iS pieces (shirt waists and starched skirls extra).

The studio is well supplied with casts and still life and affords every advant­ age for the serious study of drawing and painting.

The “upper room’’ now set apart for this purpose is inadequate in itself and will be much needed in the near future for an intermediate and preparatory schoolroom. Scientific apparatus. The enumeration under the head of equipment is, to the initiated, a mute statement of the needs of the Scientific department. These are many, but some are more urgent than others. The absence of all appliances for demonstrating the properties of light, and of many of those for demonstrating the properties of electricity, acts as a discour­ agement to the practical study of these subjects. Those who feel inclined to aid in meeting these wants of the school may correspond with the Principal or directly with Rt. Rev. B. Wistar Morris, who is Rector of the school as well as chairman of the Board of Trustees. ■ . : �list of pupils. IS0<3=1S97. Maude Ackerman, Katherine T. Ahern, Irene Albke, (Kindergarten) Stella C.

To make its service to the community still more comprehensive it established in September, 1932, a Junior College. This has been estab­ lished for the educational advantage of young women who desire to pursue college work in a small institution, and is especially for those who, because of immaturity, or other reasons, find it impossible to attend as yet a four year college or university. Students fully qualified for college or university entrance may here pursue the studies of the first two years and be ready to transfer to the institution of their choice, entering as juniors. Or, if they prefer, they may end their college career with a two year diploma from St. Helen's Hall Junior College. The Junior College accomplishes its own type of cur­ riculum under better working environment than can be obtained at a large institution that more or less centers its attention on upper division and graduate work. Its advantages may be readily seen in the smaller classes and more frequent personal contact with instructors, as well as in the social conditions which are simpler and more successful. �St. Helen's Hall Junior College Buildings Our new Junior College has its own attractive, modern buildingj with airy classrooms, library, and social hall. Athletics take place in the large outdoor gymnasium. Sports Opportunity is afforded for tennis, basketball, archery, and swimming. The latter is offered at the school’s at­ tractive place on Lake Oswego, twenty-five minutes ride from Portland. Here the student may receive instruction from a competent life-guard in swimming, diving, life­ saving, canoeing, and in the handling of motor boats. Faculty The faculty of St. Helen’s Hall Junior College is made up of instructors who are specialists in their particular fields, and who are capable of drawing out and directing latent powers and ambitions of the individual student. This is extremely important since no school is stronger than its faculty. �St. Helen’s Hall Junior College THE FACULTY Rev. Jay Claud Black Sacred and Secular History S. T. B.

The student should decide as early as possible the in­ stitution to which she will go after taking her junior college work, in order that her subjects may be selected to meet the requirements, and to eliminate any difficulty in the transfer of credits. < Students who do not plan to continue their studies at either college or university will be held to the same standards <>i class work as the others, but will have more latitude in their choice of subjects. Unit of Work i he :nit of work is one hour of prepared class work per week, or its equivalent in laboratory. One class hour per week for 36 weeks constitutes one year-hour credit; two hours per week, two year-hour credits, etc. The courses run usually from 2 to 4 hours per week. Eighteen weeks constitute the length of a semester, of which there are two in year. Each student should take a minimum of fifteen, and a maximum of eighteen year-hours. I hirty year-hours in approved subjects are required for graduation from the two -year course. �St. Helen's Hall Junior College Grades The student’s academic progress as determined in each course by daily work and examinations will be reported to parents at the end of each semester.

F—Failure. I-—Incomplete. Quality of work satisfactory, but unfinished for reasons acceptable to the instructor, and additional time granted.

Change in Program Students wishing to drop a course before the close of the fifth week of the quarter may do so with the approval of the Dean without being marked a failure in the course. Students dropping a course after the fifth week of the quarter, even though granted permission, will be marked a failure in the course.
