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.

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.

EDITORIAL Th e en cl is but the beginning.” How true is ibis statemenl wbcn applied to the our Senior Class as we find ourselves fast approaching tbe day toward members of which our every effort has been dircclcd since we severally enrolled in dear St. Helen s Hall. 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. Hood, the challenge and inspiration of all who see il. So stands our St. Helen’s Hall, beloved not only by this year’s class but by all who have been privileged to go from class to class. led forward and urged upward to greater attainment. As Mazamas, coming down the trail toward timberline. look back and say. \'Ve have been there,” so each St. Helen’s girl points with pride to her days in the Hall. For us. however, the trail leads up not down. I he end is but the beginning.” Again. I say: What shall we do with it? "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.

"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.

She was suddenly aware that one of the travelers had addressed her. He was eagerly thumping his dingy dime on the velvet edge of the bracelet section. 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.

He was that average, hie was neither small enough. large enough, ugly enough, handsome enough, clean nor dirty enough lo compel people s attention. He walked with a common-place gait, had a common-place look and was thoroughly trite.

The continual passing of time, the constant swing of the pendulum oi the old clock that monotonously licked away the eventful, dull, happy, sorrowful, nevcr-to-return hours of every day. 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. No one will ever know the exact words that were cruelly passed between father and son. when young •John had returned from an outlandish esca pade. The clock had seen tears, loo. 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.

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 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.

"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.

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.

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. 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.

QUILL AND INK Quill and Ink has grown both in size and importance in this, its third year of existence, and is taking its place among the worthy organizations of St. Helen’s Hall. 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 !

THE COURTSHIP OFTHE MILLER’S DAUGHTER There was a little house Which stood upon a hill. Beside the little house There stood a little mill. Now at the mill there lived a man He was the miller proud. He had a daughter sweet and fair : : , i F I i He praised her long and loud. In the house a young man lived Who loved the miller’s daughter.

SLEEPING TIME Winter is the wood’s sleeping time From Autumn until the* Spring’s chime. The snow is its mattress soft, The sky is it’s roof so high, The trees, the watchmen aloft, The moon, a flashlight bright. Sleep well, O woods, without a sigh Rest on, and waken as spring draws nigh. —Sylvia Beilis IV. CUDDLES My Cuddles is a coal black cat And he can change his mind, like that! Just when you think he loves you true, Then up springs Cuddles and slaps you! He eats his meat as quick as a minute, And noses everything to see what’s in it. He fights all cats and eats all the mice, If I were he 1 wouldn’t do it; it isn’t nice. I like to pet and hug him tight. And when he stays out all the night I just can’t scold or spank the dear For I am sure he’d shed a tear. —Emily Joynt VI. �. >; Gabm)ar I ■ I ! i i ; ! : \ I . » ' ��The Delphlc NINETEEN HUNDRED AND TilIRTY-E1GHT 49 SCHOOL CALENDAR ■ Sept. 6.

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.

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.

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.

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._: . ........ •.................................................... .

CDeLpktc 41 21 HIGH SCHOOL HONORS—1940 The Alumnae pin is awarded to the senior of good scholarship who has most actively contributed to the school life. This honor went to Peggy Magill, and honorable mention to Anne Alton. The award for the greatest improvement in citizenship in the boarding department went to Betty Jo Coleman, and honorable mention to Marilynn Adair. 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. In the "Noted Picture” contest, first prizes went this year to Virginia Burdick and Eileen MacDonald; second prizes went to Louise Smith, Patricia Waters, and Sylvia Thomas; third prizes went to Marybelle Reed and Cozette Scott. Two alumnae of the Hall at Oregon State College were elected to positions of honor— Ruth Hopper to the Etiquette Committee for Women Associated Students, and Frankie Gribbin to Rookess counselor board in charge of freshman hospitality. 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 Jane Klahre and honorable mention to Renee Caplan. I �i !1 : ■ ‘I 22 ig ^ke Q)etpkic In the interests of goodwill between France and America, the French government awarded a beautiful medal to students in American schools doing excellent work in French.

Mr Hod Mecklem, their coach, awarded the prizes—a cup for first place to Betty Bussey, second to Marjorie Englehart, and third to Connie Maguire. �;9 (T*0 CDelpkic ~ 23 First Prize, Delphic Contest YELLOW ELEPHANT War, War That’s all he had heard about—once, twenty years ago and now again for perhaps more years than he could exist. 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.

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. ! !

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.

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...........................

MAY FETE ?V. "■■■.? The climax of the spring term ended May 22 at St. Helen’s Hall with the annual May V : %,-A U. ;L Fete. 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.

AH memberships in the school clubs are by personal choice These clubs were organized in an effort to stimulate interest in various hobbies. V;. THE NATURAL DANCING CLUb was organized to help the girls improve their car­ ■ 5 . : ? riage, to be more graceful, and to bring out their individual talents, as well as to make their ■ minds more creative, since dancing is one art that has to have motivation from within. This club has grown as the girls have begun to appreciate the work being done here. .

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. A great deal was accomplished, and most of the girls were in the advanced class by the season’s end. . I i* Y u £• ': i • !* ■ r :• ��! i ig 40 ^ke CDetpliLC ATHLETICS Basketball is the Hall girls’ favorite game. Our team captain this year was Alice Kimball. 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. The fencing team held their own in the tournaments in which they entered. 1939-1940 Athletic Awards MEDALS FOR BASKETBALL Maradick Word. Lillian Johnson. Jean Lewis. Connie Maguire.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

CDetpLic n : : 5 EDITORIAL 15 •f As we graduate from St. Helen’s Hall this year, we are slightly bewildered by the world we are going into. It is a world of war and struggle, of hate and fury. It is not a reassuring world to be graduating into. As products of a world like that, we do not have the old idea that the world is ours to do with as we please. We still believe in our own power, but it is a col­ lective power, not an individual power. The world is ours, but only if we make it so. !•! !••< T i i s We still can carve our kind of a world out of the chaos and confusion of war, but this is not going to be a pleasure. It is going to be a duty, and a severe taskmaster. Our incentive must be a Christian ideal. We must truly follow the commandment "love thy neighbor as thyself.” '4 ■i'j If we realize that sacrifices will not stop with the armistice, the battle of a just and true peace is half won. Surely a just peace is more worth our sacrifices than a bloody war. At the Hall, we have received a Christian background for our lives. ground for the purpose for which it was intended.

Other’s memories we cannot borrow But in our own there lies the future’s haze . . . Beloved faces, varied scenes’ arrays. In today already walks tomorrow.” There is a beauty in that this can be, A justice, and a helping hand to hold. It gives to us a choice in life, to see In present hours the future still untold. May each of us from some old memory Receive deep grace, and pleasant dreams unfold. ; ; !L!

This place of quiet and worship stands for all Christian ideals of reverence and beauty. Every morning Matins is held, which is attended by all of the girls and the faculty. This simple sendee is made beautiful by the presence of generous memorial gifts such as the mother-of-pearl cross, the sanctuary lamps, the altar, and the pulpit Our longed-for pipe organ was given to us by Mrs. Walter B. Beebe in memory of her husband. Its inspiring tones serve as a fitting remembrance of Sister Katherine Angela who revealed to us the spirit and meaning of music. The few moments that we have in Chapel before commencing the day of studies are most helpful and are appreciated by all. . i �hi r■ .

CLASS HISTORY The class of 1943 began back in 1931, when Sally Jeffcott, who was joined later in the year by Nada Skidmore, entered the lower school. The boarding department got -its first member of the Class of ’43 in 1936, when Sylvia Thomas enrolled at the Hall. From then on, the class grew rapidly and steadily until, in 1942, our list was completed by the entrance of Charlotte Fehly, Elaine Taylor, and Laura Zimmerman. We are just an ordinary group of girls, but we have been blessed beyond measure in receiving an education which will prepare us to meet the world, and make it ours. i r �m' uI if: y!

Delphic Contest—Honorable Mention MY AUTUMN Autumn is colorful, flying, maple leaves; It is a fire-moon rising serenely above a misty swamp; It is a dog frisking wildly in crisp, crackling, fallen pine needles; It is a warm remembrance of summer; A lazy river turning brown and red beside the leaves; A golden, giant oak curling its leaves against a hazy blue sky; Autumn is a memory; It is a melancholy faith in dreaming hopes; It is a fulfillment of a life nearing its end; It is the burning of wood-smoke curling slow, blue ribbons; It is the heap of leaves and the rustle of the wind, with Yet but a touch of winter; Still, late Summer makes her last bid, before the on-coming Blue Cold. Deep purple, golden haze—soon will it turn to an ice-blue. Deep autumn, a warm star, a violet haze against warm mist. I shall remember Autumn; it will always come back, secure.

MARY ALICE SERRUYS, VI. : ■ i ■ i1 1 ; r ■ REGULATION DRESS I smile and sigh while thinking of my schooldays at the Hall, (They were days both sad and happy, I confess.) But oh, the thing that bothered me the very most of all Was the worrisome, the troublesome, the Regulation Dress! . v : I oft forgot to keep the pretty blues away from brown. My stockings were of many different hues. My blouses ranged from old pique to those I wore to town, And I owned the very oddest kinds of shoes. My sweaters were of woven stuffs that broke at simple touch, (They would catch on every splinter in the place.) And my skirts were soiled and wrinkled for I did not press them much Because I spent my time uppn my face. ta Now I have finished singing of my sorrow at that school, (And to you who read it now I’d like to stress) Though you may find it very hard to keep within a rule It will pay you well to keep the one for Regulation Dress. tfi Ms JOAN WOHLENBERG, III. * 1 WASHDAY FOR NATURE i i r The country is washed by gentle rain.

The bells attached to their tiny collars Sparkled like gold and silver dollars. Their dresses were made of lovely lace; One had the most lovely and precious face. Their shoes shone like glittering sparks. Although they danced they made no marks. Their hair was shiny burnished gold. Mere beautiful than can ever be told. They make magic with their little wands. I think they live in the flowers in nearby ponds. SUSAN DICK, Grade VI.

Nada Skidmore was elected our President for the fall term, while the following students were elected to the other offices: Joan Lucas, Vice-Presi­ dent; Molly Clair, Secretary; Beatrice King, Treasurer; Sally Jeffcott, Senior Proctor; Susan Garrigus, Sophomore Proctor. Those elected for the spring term’s activities were: Beatrice King, President; Donna Jo Short, Vice-President; Yolanda Schultz, Secretary; Sylvia Thomas, Treasurer; Pat Mann, Senior Proctor; Barbara Magnuson, Sophomore Proctor. For the fall term the Cabinet consisted of the Student Body officers, Sylvia Thomas, Vice-President of the Senior class; Jane Byerly, Vice President of the Junior class; Class Representatives: Alta June Myles, Donna Jo Short, Barbara Magnuson, Carla Rebagliati, Carter Dorwart, and the Editor of the Halltonian, Jane Norwood. This year the Student Body energy was inevitably channeled into the defense effort. A raffle was held with enthusiasm for the purpose of donating the proceeds to the United War Chest. The Red Cross drive in March was met with the support of all the Hall students as a result of an impressive talk by Miss Louise Linthicum. Earlier in the year we were privi­ leged to hear her speak of the vital work represented by the United War Chest. Mr. Peterson faced an attentive and receptive group when he addressed the High School and Junior College on the subject of the war’s effect upon our lives as individuals. The upper classmen’s knowl­ edge of two colleges was broadened when representatives of Scripps and of Smith talked to the girls about the part college would play in the future. In keeping with the Hall’s tradition, donations were made at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the Lenten season for the poor, perhaps less cared for than ever in their obscurity in the dark shadow of war. Not all has been serious and strenuous, for picnics at Everglade and dances have furnished that refreshing variety so necessary for an alert, intelligent group of young people. The school year with all its work and serious effort, its hours of pleasure, companionship, and carefree joys has come to a close. Uppermost in our minds is the thought of humble indebtedness toward those who have sacrificed their lives for the world’s freedom—the freedom which has given to us our opportunity for spiritual, intellectual and social development. t i n ! | I •iiit: ; * :: S iIN. I j 1 s If : I 1 - �26 ig s ^he CDetpkic WAR a 43 WORK In these times of war and trial by fire, the civilian population finds its attention gov­ erned by the mounting tragedy of the war. Instead of watching inertly, it is the American way to do something constructive for those in want, and our school has gone all out for civilian and foreign aid. The Hall’s official war effort this year began with the opening of the war stamp booth. This stand in the main hall has become ever popular with the girls who forego "cokes” and after-school snacks, in order to buy more stamps. . Soon after the beginning of school we had a United War Chest drive Since this included several welfare and relief organizations there was a great response from the student body. The proceeds totaled almost one hundred dollars which was donated to the War Chest. The Red Cross War drive in March was met by individual donations from all the students. I These gifts of monetary value are indispensable, but war requires sacrifices both of time and love. Here again we of the Hall tried to do our bit. The Art Club created dozens of Christmas cards for wounded soldiers to send to their families and friends. After the holidays the club undertook making handy writing portfolios for the use of soldiers in hospitals. The Drama Club and the Tunesters have also played their part in the war effort by contributing time and effort to prepare a program for the Tuber­ culosis Hospital and George White Service Center. { Several girls have completed the Staff Assistants’ course given by the Red Cross. enthusiasm and success heartened others planning to take the course. * r l ' Their Many of the boarders have joined Civilian Defense organizations. Some are FireWatchers whose duties include extinguishing any incendiary bombs or fires in their district during an air raid. Other boarders are official messengers who deliver emergency messages that come to their districts during a blackout or any other crisis. Our school provides special courses that help prepare students for their part in a wartorn world: First Aid, Nutrition, and Child Care. The Child Care course is far from being a theoretical science for the students gain practical experience by caring for children in the Hall’s nursery school. We make it possible for mothers employed in defense industries to work by offering a home during the day for their children. In the spring a book drive was carried through when two hundred attractive books were contributed by the student body. l-;; ■ -p- ■ I ■i: ». l : i , I*. ,j I - 'll j •. - =:vHs January brought programs of military drill for the high school and junior college. Under the instruction of Miss Giddings, gymnasium teacher, the Junior and Senior classes were able to present a trim drill appearance during the spring months. Shirley Gray was elected Cadet Major, and four captains, Sylvia Thomas, Beatrice King, Alice Ashton, and Jane Byerly, were chosen to lead the squads. We are all working harder and doing more work than we have previously. We are taking our work more seriously and playing less. It is just that this should be so, and we pray that any small sacrifice that we can make will hasten the end of this war of suffering and infamy. �j'i 1(9 & CDeLphtc m 43 m 27 f 'A V -' I'll I m lv -■ 11 I . i I ■ i | i I > BOARDERS’ MYSTERY PLAY The Boarders’ Mystery play, a vivid portrayal of the Nativity of Christ, was presented this year in Scadding Auditorium at an afternoon performance for the Junior College, High School, and the lower grades. Instilled in colorful tableaux was the age-old story of the Annunciation, the awe-struck shepherds, the Wise Men "aided” by Herod, and finally the full cast finale around the Bethle­ hem manger climaxed the cantata. I 1 ; ;1 ■ 1 '' ; In the starring role of the Angel Gabriel was Sylvia Thomas aided by the Angel Choir. Appropriate costumes and color added the necessary atmosphere to the production.

The mistress of ceremonies, Jane Byerly, crowned Her Majesty with a wreath of blossoms. Following this, the Royal Court, the student body, and guests enjoyed original entertainment provided by the new girls. The serving of light refreshments marked the conclusion of a memorable day. �. ) .1 . ' II ! ;9 CDeLpktc m ^0 ?! 29 CALENDAR : • ■ "Out of sight, out of mind,” could hardly express the sentiments of the Hall girls, as they * ■ ! look back over the year of 1942-1943. The opening address by Father McDonald in chapel that first day, September 7, im­ pressed us all. Remember how everyone wondered about each other? The old girls found out the his­ tory of the new girls, and the latter merely "took in” what occurred about them. : Spirits ran high at the boarders’ election on September 14, and the student body elections which followed on September 17. Class elections, not to be left behind, were held on Sep­ tember 24. : 5 I i ■j. On the night of September 25, the boarders were primping for Hill Cadets, who were their guests at the first boarders’ dance of the year. The so-called "timid and shy” freshmen were far ahead of the rest of the classes as far as sociability went. They were the first to give a party, which was held on September 30. Although many original costumes were seen at the traditional Old-Girl, New-Girl Party, few could compare to those in which the new girls made an appearance showing the effects of a initiation. An assembly on October 8 introduced the United War Chest campaign. Miss Linthicum urged our support, and we responded by going "over the top”. October 15 is an extremely important date in this history, for on that day the young ladies of St. Helen’s Hall threw hammers, hearts, and heads into the task of destroying two hundred desks. The national Scrap Metal Drive profited a tidy five tons from the "all-out” effort. October 19 the Juniors had a class party at Everglade. had a lively time. >4 Everyone took box lunches and October 29—At a joint assembly on October 29 in the morning Mrs. Sarmiento, wife of the ex-Peruvian consul, drew such a vividly descriptive picture of that South American coun­ try that it occupied our minds for days. The lively Freshman class had another get-together at the Bohemian Restaurant on Oc­ tober 31. Juniors and Seniors, formally dressed, acted as hostesses at the annual reception for par­ ents and teachers at Scadding Auditorium the evening of November 3. •; i - M : 1 November 9 marked the beginning of a new quarter, and also many resolutions to get "at least one A”. At the Boarders’ fire-lighting ceremony on November 11, Sister Superior told the fasci­ nating history of St. Helen’s Hall. i % ;j With heads erect and not a glance behind them, the Boarding department disproved old superstitions by having a dance on Friday, the 13th! November 17 marked the never-to-be-forgotten student body ice-skating party. Despite the hazards involved, "fun” seemed the predominating descriptive word. Thanksgiving vacation was from November 25 to 30. •;* i 1 : ■ i On December 7, the anniversary of our entry into the war, an assembly was held at 11:25. One minute’s silence was followed by prayer, the salute to the flag, and the national anthem. i ;i !• fc �30 ig n (^ke CDelphtc n ^ Mr. Peterson gave an effective speech to a joint assembly with the Junior College about our duty in the war effort on December 15. The Boarders gave their annual Mystery play in an afternoon assembly for the student body, instead of the usual evening presentation as in past years. j; K On December 17, school was dismissed for Christmas holidays. rh A new school year began on January 4, when we all returned full of recollections and resolutions. Our joy was tempered, however, when we learned that Mrs. Anderson, our pop­ ular gym teacher, had left to join the Army Medical Corps. On January 21, a pleasant surprise which lasted until January 27 released us from our studies. You guessed it, the snow that isolated all but provided plenty of merrirpent as com­ pensation. > On February 5, the sociable Boarders gave a dance. I 1 The Student Body elections were held February 18, and Bea King was presented the gavel for the remainder of the year. The Senior Class saw "Random Harvest” on February 24, and afterwards enjoyed a ban­ quet at Schapp’s. February 25 marked the Red Cross Victory Book Campaign party. Admission was "a book for a boy in the service”. Refreshments were given by the Boarders, while the "Day Dodgers” provided us with some clever, extemporaneous entertainment. By February 27 everyone was in a state of excitement at the big Student Body Dance. It was a riotous success. According to a new plan, our spring vacation was divided into two long week-ends, the first of which was March 3-7. On March 15 the Red Cross War Fund Drive started. t St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, was important to the Seniors for the all-important gradua­ tion pictures were taken. . The Juniors sponsored a reading on April 15, which families and friends attended. i . ' Seniors took advantage of a long-awaited privilege by going A.W.O.L. on May 5. How­ ever, they had no qualms as it was their legitimate Skip Day. The beautiful May Fete ceremony was held on May 20. Honoring Queen Sylvia I and her princesses, the new girls entertained the Court, Student Body, and guests. I• ■ On Baccalaureate Sunday, May 23, the High School and Junior College assembled for the annual service at Trinity Church. ■ Following our last Commencement practice on May 27, Sister Superior entertained at a school luncheon followed by the awarding of prizes, the unveiling of the Senior Class picture, and the distribution of the Delphics. i -» S That evening the Juniors and Seniors gathered together for their last dance, as a happy and eventful day came to its end with the lovely Junior-Senior Prom. ■ I ■; ' I On a day which they will always remember, May 28, 1943, the Seniors received their diplomas with a surge of happiness, and a pang of regret at leaving their Alma Mater. �I I 1 . 1 .i™ ; : ■i. 19 m CDelpkic 0 •i 31 !:■ : ' I hf ; .

The big rambling house on the edge of the lake serenely bears the gaiety of the Hall par­ ties. There are facilities for every sport; tennis, boating, swimming, ping-pong, dancing, or, if you prefer, just laziness. Never to be forgotten is the pleasure of a plunge into the clear, cool water after a vigorous game of tennis, or the ravenous consuming of hot dogs and potato salad at the outdoor fireplace. S' Jj 11 ■ i •* ; )•> 1 I IPI 1: . ■ i. :- I . I Another scene of many happy hours is Sister Superior’s beach house. On almost every week-end before Christmas, Sister took a group of Boarders to Seaside with her, and there the fortunate girls spent many fun-filled hours, free from the cares of school. 1 ' ! '■! No girl who leaves the Hall will ever forget the joyous hours at Everglade and Seaside, places created for the enjoyment of the young in heart. i- : Ml �:: || ■f if : :i aI!

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.

Our beloved Sisters of the Order of St. John Baptist, who have so ably directed the school for forty years, have found it necessary to retire from the school's activities. Although they are leaving, the school will continue to uphold and maintain the principles that they have placed before it. Those who are to be in charge will ever keep in mind the training that students have received in the past, and they will help the Hall to keep its high standards. Under the direction of the Sisters it has been the aim of St. Helen's Hall to offer a broad liberal education in its deepest sense. Our practical education has been correlated with a purposeful religious life teaching every girl to believe and think wisely. In the past the Hall has always had high standards influenced by Christian ideals. As it assumes a new leadership these standards will not be changed. Through all the degrading darkness of the world about us, the Hall will remain a guiding beacon in our hearts leading us to a peace within. THE EDITOR. EDITORIAL Spring with all its sweetest of young growing things came early this year, symbolic somehow In mid-December the leafless sprigs of climbing jasmine arrayed themselves in blossoms like tiny golden trumpets. Only a few weeks later, while autumn roses and chrysan­ themums stood bedraggled and frost-bitten, pussywillow buds grew silvery-gray and fat and smooth; sweet smelling pink bells brightened the drab-looking, bushy heather; flat, white blossoms shone among the dark-green, pointed leaves of the laurastinus shrubs. Rainy Febru­ ary came, and with it, fragrant wild violets. The first ones were short-stemmed, I remember, and hardly more than fragments of purple. Often half-hidden by a few old brown leaves, they grew by mossy tree-trunks and under bushes whose new yellow-green leaves stood upright like tiny candles on a Christmas tree. Beside a pond reflecting moving clouds and sky, a weeping willow turned a soft green and moved like a gauzy veil in the March wind. In April the dogwood burst forth in glistening white flowers and stood tall and radiant among the dark woods of somber firs. Let us do our utmost to hasten the peace which will come to the ravaged, suffering world, like the ever-returning miracle of spring over the forlorn earth. THE LITERARY EDITOR.

Oregon State College [-] �I I R I•i ■; ;9 * CDeLpktc * 44 : CHAPEL Worship is the keystone of Christian life. So it is that our Chapel has come to symbolize all that is admirable and inspiring. As our days and months at the Hall pass, we appreciate more and more the quiet beauty and simple dignity of the Morning Service. In perfect harmony are all the memorial gifts: the altar, sanctuary lamps, pulpit, and the mother of pearl processional cross. The long-desired pipe organ was given to us by Mrs. Walter B. Beebe in memory of her husband. Its strains will ever be a remembrance of Sister Katherine Angela, who taught the girls at the Hall to love music as she did. 3 W �: i: t-!.v:l ■ ' t ' i; S' V Mi "i 5 i: I; ii ; : ; : : : • •4 : U IV. > i : '1 - lit : m 11 l IHUsi 1: * ;v S ■v^JllpTK.ul 3 p.j£*l *SS Ibw 'i o w. ivff N ft’ % & I/- £3? s tv* :.||! :8 iM i v* t* 2^ -.'i yM •. ii < '■ ' ; ! / "'a i II I m r\ > m Mi \f Vi !! ■:;. ?; •>-’ ■:•■■ �:• • ' :. •-1 ■: - ■ v. ■ ■ . - - W: -- -- ■■ . . - V �' ?;: = • ' • ’ . •* ig * ^ke CDelpliic * 44 \ \ r JANE BYERLY 1940-1944 "Thoughtless of beauty, she uas beauty’s self." if President of the Senior Class Vice-President of the Junior Class Advertising Staff of the Delphic May Queen . % 1 !i f: ?. 1; I' >' GLORIA JOKSTAD 1940-1944 "A merry heart makelh a cheerful coun­ tenance.” Vice-President of the Senior Class President of the Boarders Business Manager of the Halltonian May Court Hii & i. iyZfi ■ VIRGINIA VAUGHAN ri? : • 1942-1944 HI I 1!

CLASS HISTORY The class of 1944 began back in 1934 when Patty Bendshadler entered the Lower School. In 1938 she was joined by Dede Honeyman, Patty Jack, and Patty Petheram. From then on the class grew rapidly until 1943, when our membership was completed by the entrance of Anne Carter. Although we are sorry to leave the Hall, we take with us the knowledge that we have received an education which has prepared us to meet and solve the problems of today.

The social success is the one who can talk most like a hard cynical commando. The fashion-plate is apparently the one attired in quite dirty jeans, martyred sweater, socks of terrifying hue, and shoes completely covered by the humble soil. My opinion is of little value, for I am a girl and older, but I believe my ten-year-old brother must be a great success. He is certainly dressed properly, and I know has a large stock of commando tactics. The only way to distinguish him from the other men-of-the-world is by his hazel eyes, very charming nose, and hair about the color of the dirt that modestly covers his forehead. He doesn't talk much to outsiders; only to those other little boys who understand his lan­ guage. He talks very skillfully with them. Once he organized an army, made himself general, and the other boys privates. Something must have upset this Hitlerism, for he soon was one general among many. In fact, they were all generals. He has an unlimited supply of information about airplanes. Perhaps we could learn much from him, but he is frightfully longwinded. We have trained ourselves to listen with only one ear and insert "un-huh” occasionally. I suppose he will be an after-dinner speaker. At least then we won’t have to insert the "un-huh”, but only listen with one ear. JEAN EDMONDS, IV. | : : :m ■ i. ’ V I y THE GLEAMING LIGHT I see many a bright color shield That the enemy ne’er could mar As I walk across the battlefield Of years and years of war. I see brave men who would not yield To the tempests that would scar As I walk across the battlefield Of years and years of war. As I wander through the burial grounds, As I trudge through darkened vale, The mist seems to lift; the light abounds; It brightens this quiet dale, And then I know that the scars have healed; Again I see a star As I walk across the battlefield Of years and years of war.

Joan Lucas was elected President, and was assisted by Pat Walker as Vice-President, Jean Edmonds as Secretary, and Nancy Easter as Treasurer. Those who carried out their fine work in the spring were Nancy Easter, President; Ann Phetteplace, VicePresident, and Patty Bendshadler, Treasurer, Although the main theme of the year was war work, the season’s activities were dotted with brilliant speakers. Prominent among these was President Ham of Mt, Holyoke College, who gave us a view of colleges geared to a war-time tempo. The importance of the work we do at school now was emphasized by Mademoiselle A. Jeanne Saliel of Smith College, who spoke for the Free French. The life of our boys in North Africa was described to us by a young Lieutenant in the Army Medical Corps, stationed at Barnes Hospital, The British Consul, James McDonald, gave us an interesting talk at one of our assemblies on the difference war has made in the life of the English people. Another extremely instructive assembly was held when the Director of the Civic Theater, the Director of the Art Museum, and the Conductor of the Junior Symphony held an informal discussion of the war’s effect on the Arts. Mrs. Esther Daymon Strong, who is Executive Secretary of the United Nations Association, spoke to us regarding the activities of that association and the various other post-war groups in the country. All of these talks were presented to us with the idea of giving the Hall girl a broad view of the importance of current world affairs. The Seniors of this year everywhere are expected to become adult more quickly and more intelligently. We are aware that the courses and assemblies of this school year have helped us to realize the important role we will take in the post-war world.

WAR WORK It was only right and to be expected that again this year war work proved to be the main activity of St. Helen’s Hall. Most of our work was done through the American Junior Red Cross. Each week many of the girls rolled bandages at the Wilcox Memorial Hospital, while others enjoyed helping at the United Seamen's Service Center. At Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter, clever, appropriate table decora­ tions and other favors were made for the men at Barnes Hospital. Whole-heartedly and with Christmas box for service men toothbrushes, and toothpaste, cigarettes, small books, puzzles, a sense of humbleness, each Hall girl filled a gaily-papered overseas. These boxes contained such practical articles as soap, shoe strings, writing paper, pencils, and envelopes. Candy, and various kinds of games were also included. With their War Bonds and Stamps, the high school and the lower school purchased three jeeps such as the one shown above. In this work Nancy Easter, Joan Lucas, and Patty Bendshadler played a prominent part, and its success is due to their hard work. j26] I �•• . ■ ; & QUEEN—Jane Byerly. PRINCESSES—Patty Jack, Gloria Jokstad, Patty Petheram, Anne Stewart, Joan Lucas, Laurelei Saylor. MISTRESS OF CEREMONIES—Molly Clair. MAY FETE Each year the student body eagerly choses seven pretty seniors for the traditional May Court. Jane Byerly was this year’s lovely Queen of the May. Her court princesses were Patty Petheram, Ann Stewart, Joan Lucas, Gloria Jokstad, Patty Jack, and Lee Saylor. The smooth, yellow-green lawn and the dark-green shrubbery, the sunshine and the dappled shade made a pleasing setting for the royalty in their pastel-colored dresses. A tiny, excited girl from the lower school, wearing a light spring dress, carried the crown of fresh flowers to the Queen’s throne. The student body and guests watched with happy admiration as Molly Clair, Mistress of Ceremonies, placed the crown on Jane’s dark hair. Following the crowning ceremony, Bobby Wollum, as court jester, and all the new girls provided various kinds of entertainment. With the serving of a light supper, this long-antici­ pated afternoon came to a close. [27] �\ i •; ;9 * CDetpkic * 44 CALENDAR As the spring term draws to a close, every girl finds her thoughts directed toward the coming graduation and then wandering back to the many activities of the past year. The year began in the traditional way with Bishop Dagwell officiating at the opening Chapel service, September 8, 1943. On October 13 the new girls were duly initiated with a great deal of laughter and fun on part of the student body at the Old Girl-New Girl Party. The student body was officially organized shortly after with both student body and class officers being elected. The leaders of the boarding department were chosen as soon as the girls were well acquainted. October 15th saw the boarders and many of the day students at the Jeannette McDonald concert. The girls all agreed that it was one of the best concerts of the season. The first dance of the year, given by the boarding department, was held September 24. Hill cadets were invited. On October 27, the teachers held a reception for the parents and friends of the students. They were assisted by the Juniors and Seniors. This was the first formal affair of the year and the teachers announced that the attendance was the largest in years. Hill Military Academy gave its first dance of the year on October 29. Pumpkins, fortune­ tellers, and eerie decorations provided the Halloween atmosphere. On the same night members of the Junior class spent an enjoyable evening at a dinner dance given by Joanna Millet. On November 23rd the long-anticipated Thanksgiving vacation began. The girls returned full of vitality and began plans for the Christmas vacation December 10th was the date of the big student body dance of the year. A huge tree deco­ rated with blue lights and silver rain carried out the Christmas theme. Many members of the armed forces were present at the dance. The day Christmas vacation started the College Drama Club presented a beautiful Mystery Play, which was attended by the whole school. On February 3rd the spring term student body elections were held. February and March will be remembered for the wonderful speakers they brought. These speakers gave the girls a view of the international world situation. On March 1st the Alumnae Association sponsored an excellent reading by Mrs. Mortimer Hartwell. The spring season was officially ushered in by a dance sponsored by the Junior class on April 22, the Saturday after spring vacation ended Skip day was spent by the Seniors doing exactly what they wanted, and the school was a dank and musty tomb without them. Royalty took over the school on May Fete day. Queen Jane IV presided over her court, who were dressed in charming pastel formals. The last week of school was so full of last-minute activities and parties that the Seniors had no time to be sad. They will always remember the Prom and the impressive Baccalaureate service at Trinity Church. The crowning event of the whole year was graduation on May 26th. This exquisite and beautiful ceremony is especially planned to be an unforgetable experience. [28J �1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11, 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. Birds of a feather.

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 not a promising world, but it is our world, and we are prepared to face it. At the Hall we have received the background and the education that has helped train us for this great step in our lives. We are willing to face the world and make it ours. This year marks a new phase at St. Helen’s Hall, for it has been under new leadership. But the Hall still retains its high ideals and standards, and we have received the same Christian education which is characteristic of our school. We leave with a feeling of regret — that we must leave friends we have made and all the fun and adventure that accompanies high school life. But we are grateful for the prepara­ tion that we have been given and are ready to go forth into a new chapter of our lives. THE EDITOR. EDITORIAL In a modern world characterized by change, poets and writers seek untiringly for origi­ nality of expression. The strange, the startling, the horrible; these are the things for which they search. The poet, in his thirst for imagery, may visualize in the tinkling laughter of a little child a mighty roaring voice condemning the universe to eternal chaos. Throughout the world the writer journeys on his quest for that which is new; over a country road with her graceful arms entwined about the infant spring, into a dingy alley choking the breath from a year grown old; skillfully drawing from these a strange new portrait of life, a portrait that is dynamic, perhaps, or haunting, but has no warmth. For only things that are old and cherished can have real warmth. Into the hearts of men since time began expressions of emotion have grown, and they are not to be replaced by the erotic products of a modern unfathomable mind. One cannot speak of love and of hate, of life and of death as happenings to be interpreted. They are real, and simple, and so must they be spoken of with simplicity. Thus it is with parting — life itself is a series of farewells, and leaving that which is beloved is nothing but a human occurrence. Sorrow it contains but not bitterness, and the emotions it signifies can be found in only one word — good-bye. THE LITERARY EDITOR. [5] �79 CDetpluc 45 Si Si RITA A.

This simple but beautiful service is made even more beautiful and inspirational by the presence of memorial gifts, such as the sanctuary lamps, the altar, the pulpit, and the motherof-pearl processional cross. The organ was presented to us by Mrs. Walter B. Beebe in memory <6 of her husband. Its melodius strains will always be a remembrance of Sister Katherine Angela, who revealed to us the beauty and spirit of music. These few moments of quiet devotion that introduce each new day are truly helpful and appreciated by all who attend. *5$ * 5 [8] * ��8S % % % % § ss as * * n * % fs fz S5 k i§ I: t: �* a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a st 3 3 3 3 *9 SALLY MEYERS ••• ^ke kDelpklc 1942-1945 President of the Senior Class Vice-President of Junior Class May Court Delphic Staff DOROTHY MOUNT 1935, 1941-1945 Vice-President of the Senior Class Secretary of the Junior Class Vice-President of the Sophomore Class May Court 3 9 3 P 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 f f w JUNE ANDERSON 1943-1945 Secretary of the Senior Class Delphic Staff May Court Tunesters [9] 45 �eg *9 ^/ze CDetpliLC —45 §£ PATRICIA PEARSON 1939-1945 Treasurer of the Senior Class Treasurer of the Junior Class May Queen Delphic Staff eg eg m ss MOLLY CLAIR 1933-1945 Secretary of the Student Body Vice-President of the Freshman Class Delphic Staff Mistress of Ceremonies for May Fete 5= ! 1: ! 1 I LOIS CLOUD ' 1943-1945 Delphic Staff Tunesters * «5 5 l! i.

She was joined in 1939 and '40 by Pat Pearson and Sue Garrigus. Most of us came in 1941, our freshman year, but others came through the years until our enrollment was completed in January, 1945 by the entrance of Berniece Hoyt. It is with sorrow that we leave the Hall and the friends we have made, but we leave with a feeling of gratitude for the rich, full background given us, and for the education we have received that has prepared us to face the world and its many problems.

This honor went to Joan Lucas, and honorable mention to Patricia Bendshadler and Nancy Easter. For the best essay on a patriotic subject in the contest conducted by the National Society of Colonial Daughters, a prize was awarded to Virginia Seale. Honorable mention in this contest was also given in the following order of excellence to: Nancy Morley, Jean Dalin, Janet Harris, Rhoda Lecocq, Edna Barnes, Janet Banks. The Bishop’s prize for outstanding work in Sacred Studies during the year went to Betsy Parker, whose name was also engraved on the Holford cup. In appreciation of loyal and generous help in accompanying on the piano and in playing the organ for Chapel services, a gift was given to Nancy Easter. St. Helen's Hall was again represented in the annual anthology of Northwest High School Poetry. Certificates from the editors were awarded to four students whose poems appear in the 1944 issue: Suzanne Bozorth, Patricia Hodson, Alice Ashton, Anne Carter. Honorable men­ tion was given to poems by Virginia Vaughan and Gloria Jokstad. A Senior who brought honor to her Alma Mater by winning the Mills College Trustee Scholarship was Betsy Parker. 3 St. Helen’s Hall is proud of the fact that its annual, the Delphic, has many times won honors in the national year book contest conducted by the Columbia Scholastic Press Associa­ tion. Last year’s book was awarded a certificate for placing in the third class among the smaller private schools. P 9 For fine work on 1944’s Delphic, prizes were awarded to the following members of the staff: Joan Lucas, editor-in-chief; Betsy Parker, literary editor; Nancy Easter, business man­ ager; Patty Bendshadler, advertising manager; and Patricia Hodson, art editor. 0 9 9 9 The school presented a gift to a Senior who finished her eleventh year at St. Helen’s Hall —Patty Bendshadler.

He had come with footsteps that fell as soft as the wilted petals of the cherry blossom that falls from the tree when the spring is gone. He was not a very young man, nor was he very old, but his eyes were sad with the lone­ liness of one who wanders through the night in search of that which does not exist. Long he stood in the darkness, the shadows curled about him. He did not speak or move, and his breath came in haunting little sighs that clung to him though their sound had ceased. He was waiting for someone to come to him out of the night — someone he did not really expect at all. Silently I watched him, and I thought upon his face which held the drama of countless men. It was not the drama of a greedy death who snatches from the arms of the hungry; nor was it of bitterness with its yellowed fangs biting deep into the core of humanity. Rather it was the drama of loneliness written in wistful lines upon the face of a man, of unknowing sadness floating through his life. These are the things I thought of while I watched the man who waited, his life filled only with the tears he could never shed, as he turned and walked slowly into the night—alone. CONTRIBUTED.

You, oh spring, are all these things to me. What are you, spring? A rainbow bright, a sky of blue? A shimmering lake, the glistening dew? Are you the beckoning star That all lost sailors see? Or a wheeling gull on a sandy bar? You, oh spring, are all these things to me. JOANN COHN, III. I I THE SILVERY PATH THE FIR TREE Majestic, towering stands The lone fir tree.

If I could walk Upon her shining beams, I would walk to the moon And remember only dreams. But in the morning I’d walk down. Back to my tiny, tiny home In the silent, sleeping town.

Overcoming obstacles and minor dis­ agreements we, the students, have come to a better understanding among ourselves and our advisers. The officers of the student body, who have led us on, deserve the better part of the credit. f 1 $ $ * * 3 * t I I » I I I I Pat Walker was elected President in the fall election, with the following girls in other offices: Jean Edmonds, Vice-Presi­ dent; Marisu Edmonds, Secretary; Yolanda Schultz, Treasurer. Pat Walker was re-elected for President in the spring term, to the satisfaction of one and all, while Yolanda Schultz, too, was our choice again for Treasurer. Pat and Yolanda have done much to make this a successful year. These elected for the remaining offices in the spring were: Barbara Christopherscn, Vice-Presi­ dent; Sally Mount, Secretary. The cabinet, which is a representa­ PATRICIA WALKER tive group of girls that meet and discuss any problems that may come up and also have the privilege of nominating the candidates for student body offices, consists of the student body officers and members elected from each of the classes as follows: Corinne Haller, Freshman; Jacqueline Downing, Sophomore; Jo Ann Bendshadler, Junior; Patty Stone, Senior. Regular business meetings were held often, and during the year many prominent speakers have come to St. Helen's Hall and have broadened cur knowledge considerably. One of the most outstanding was Mrs. L. R. Craighill, who, with her husband, Bishop Craighill, has lived in China for twenty years. She made us realize how lucky we are to be in America, for she gave an interesting account of the hardships girls of our age have had to face in China and what they have to go through while trying to get an education. We were also honored to have Lt Commander Millett speak to us and give us a picure of the South Pacific fighing front and tell us of what the medical unit has to do on the battle fronts. The student body, in keeping with the tradition, made donations at Thanksgiving for those less fortunate than we. The girls were also generous in their contributions to the War Fund campaign and to the Red Cross campaign. Not all has been seriousness and work, however, for there were several very successful dances held throughout the year, and other activities sponsored by the different classes. In November the Senior class presented an informal Sadie Hawkins dance, and the student body sponsored a formal dance in January which was called "Blue Heaven”. The Junior class gave a carnival, and also a dance in honor of the May Court, on "Moonlight Bay”. This school year, really a beginning in the new phase of St. Helen's Hall, has come success­ fully to a close. Its success is due to the fact that everyone has cooperated with the student body officers and faculty in carrying out their endeavors, and we hope that the next year will be as happy and successful as this one has been. [27] I I ____ �k /9 CDelphic 45 c e e e c c e e HOME FRONT ACTIVITIES e The Hall’s war effort began this year with the opening of the War Stamp booth. The girls have contributed generously, too. In the Sixth War Loan we exceeded by fifty per cent * our quota of four thousand dollars, in both bonds and stamps. Through the sale of these bonds 6! and stamps the school has purchased a jeep and a scout car. * The Tunesters have also played their part in the war effort by planning colorful programs presented to the boys at Barnes Hospital. A most appreciative audience, too! The Red Cross has played a very prominent role in the activities at the Hall. Under the capable supervision of Mrs. Roy, the art teacher, all classes have contributed time and effort. The Juniors and Seniors have done more than their part this year. At Christmas, they 6! 6= * * Is filled Christmas boxes for the soldiers and sailors, and boxes for the children in the liberated countries, who would otherwise have no Christmas at all. Later in the year they filled educa­ tion boxes for children of the occupied countries that are trying to set up schools and are badly in need of supplies. And at monthly meetings, they have made centerpieces for tables * at Barnes. * Those in the art classes have made very clever and useful toys for the children at the Shrine Hospital. And the Freshmen and Sophomores at their monthly meetings have also made tray favors for the patients at Barnes, which are well received. The Red Cross Drive was generously contributed to by all, and orchids to the Freshmen for being first to be one hundred per cent in getting their money in. This year has been a prosperous one for all, and one of the best ways to show our loyalty to our country, and that we appreciate what our boys on the fighting fronts are going through, is by doing the most that we possibly can here on our home front. Nothing we can do is too small or too great if it will help to end this war and all the suffering it causes. [28] 5 �'9 • 99 CDelpkic 45 =1 m 5* 5 ¥ QUEEN. Patricia Pearson.

Reigning over all was Queen Patricia Pearson with her court, Sally Meyers, Joyce Taylor, June Anderson, Dorothy Mount, Roberta Wollum, and Patricia Stone. The princesses, clad in blending pastel shades, contrasted well with the Queen in white. The pageant was beautiful against the green background of the garden in which the ceremony was held. The crowning of Her Majesty took place in the afternoon, ably performed by the Mistress of Ceremonies, Carla Rebagliati. This was followed by a pageant, "On Freedom Street”, pre­ sented by the Glee Club and Dramatics department, for the entertainment of the Queen and her court. A dance, in honor of the Court was held that night, marking the climax of a memor­ able day. [29] �e§ 19 CDeipltLC 45 es es cs SPANISH CLUB "El sombrero de tres picos” (the three-cornered hat) is the newly organized Spanish Club at St. Helen’s Hall. Its motto is "amistad, lealtad, y saber” (friendship, loyalty, and learning), or in Greek, "alpha, lambda, sigma”. The members have found a suitable room for their meetings and are earnestly painting and re-decorating it. Since the Freshmen have originated the club, they wish to be well established before opening the membership to others. The officers are: Carolyn Krengel, President; Jacqueline Greene, Vice-President; Elizabeth Sholdebrand, Secretary; Jane Schlesinger, Treasurer; and Beverley Hershey, "Lieutenant” at Arms. Mrs. Helen Snipper is the capable adviser. The club may be newly organized, but nevertheless shows great promise and a great opportunity for those interested in the Spanish language and the Latin American countries. N HALLTONIAN A good school paper is a very necessary part of any school. The Halltonian is the mime­ ographed news bulletin put out by the girls themselves every month. The Halltonian staff, ably guided by Miss Robinson and Mrs. Snipper, and the editor Phyllis Holdman, is manned by a small group of interested girls who here have an opportunity to gain practical experience in journalism. The writers, typists, mimeograph operators, and artists learn to work together to provide the school’s news publication. ; The goal of this year’s Halltonian was to have a concise little news sheet with news of general interest, features from stock of all school talent, and class news. We hope that we have accomplished our purpose. N 5 5 S 5 * * * [30] * * t �5 * * 9 9 9 9 P 9 P r 1. Oh, here’s Sammy!! 2. We can't do it justice. 3. I got you first. 4. Going advertising?? 5.

Recalling the first day, we find Mrs. Gerretson, the new gym teacher, outlining the nine months with vigor of a banty-hen. And as the pages are turned, we read that in the "rec” (wreck, huh) room during the last weeks of September what should have taken place but physical exams. Outdoor activities filled the calendar as long as the warm weather held out, but then came: Archery — the sport that after long grueling hours, the classes finally mastered. The several bows, the many 65 65 65 N N arrows, the targets, and swollen wrists go with the memory of archery. What seemed at first an insurmountable task, *5 turned out to be fun. And during the spring months, Robin Hood’s pastime is always popular. During the entire nine months of school, horseback riding at Highlands Academy was enjoyed. At the beginning of the term, riders were classed as beginners, intermediate, and advanced. With a big flurry of enthusiasm, about eighty per cent of S.H.H. donned jeans, piled into the truck, and learned the art of staying in an English saddle. Later the intermediate and advanced classes were com­ bined. Toward February, many of the pupils had dropped out, but there was still avid interest shown in the stiffen­ ing, leg-bowing activity. * Due to the convenient proximity of the Jewish recreation center, the interest shown by the students and the consent of Miss Hershberger to teach, girls were able to indulge once a week in one of the dolphin’s most favored sports— swimming. Red Cross cards were earned in beginning swimming, advanced, and life saving tests during class hours. After school the pool was destined to be filled with laughing, splashing, sputtering "ladies of S.H.H." [32] 5! *5 =5: <5 �'9 CDelphic 45 Into every athlete’s life, fate has interposed one dreaded indulgence — calisthenics!! Who are the belles of the Hall to be slighted by fate? They too, must have their share of the tiresome torso-bending. During the time following Christmas, one could find gym classes being held in Scadding Hall with Mrs. Gerretson trying to im- . prove the posture and poise of her charges. Statistics show that basketball is one of America's top national sports — and like every other school in the U.S.A., your alma mater was in there pitching — longs, shorts, fouls, free throws, and all the other familiar forms. Basketball is always reliable as an activity to fill in the two required hours of gym during the week and as an after school work-out too. On Feb. 21, the Juniors sunk the Frosh with a score of 16 to 4. As a follow-up the Sophomores rang the victory bell over the mighty Seniors with a tally of 20 to 10. The championship game finally scored the Juniors beating the Sophomores, 11 to 10. When spring finally rolled around and the rain stopped, tennis was the next sport on our list. A number of the girls have been trying to learn for many years and are still trying! Sore arms, aching backs, and stiffened limbs are all a part of the process of learning. But there is still great enthusiasm for this popular sport! [33] �fcs *9 ^CLke ^Delphic 45 CALENDAR ?! SEPTEMBER 6 brought on the opening day of school A typical conversation — "What hap­ pens now?” "I don’t know.” "Where is room three?” "I don’t know.” "You new here?” ?! ; SEPTEMBER 27 was the day when student democracy poked up its head and said, "Try me!!” Pat Walker was elected student body president. OCTOBER 2. Class elections were held. OCTOBER 5 was the date of the Old-Girl, New-Girl party — in other words, initiation!! You think you don’t like vinegar, cough syrup, and molasses on a spoon? Try a straw! OCTOBER 25. A talent assembly was given in which possibilities were revealed which will some day make Hollywood look aside. (Anyway that’s what we try to tell ourselves.) NOVEMBER 11. The first S.H.H. dance of the year, given in honor of Sadie Hawkins, by the Seniors. A sock and saddle affair with music via the phonograph. NOVEMBER 22-27. Students of St, Helen’s Hall gave thanks for the pilgrim father who insti­ tuted the immortal turkey. DECEMBER 1. The Juniors blossomed forth with their annual carnival, which incidentally was a great success. DECEMBER 20 - JANUARY 3 found everybody dashing madly around getting tickets home, and last minute presents before Christmas vacation got officially under way. JANUARY 7. Sunday afternoon was the time and St. Helen’s Hall was the place of the big open house given by the Bishop, Board of Trustees, and faculty. Parents and teachers found a common interest and really had a chance to become acquainted. JANUARY 17. Harry Fields, noted pianist, entertained us during a Wednesday morning assembly, by pounding out a few numbers in boogie woegie, plus Clair de Lune, the Fire Dance and other request numbers. Also that afternoon a large group of "polished corners” attended the matinee performance of "Othello”, with Paul Robeson in the leading role. JANUARY 20 was the important night of the first student body formal. "Blue Heaven” was the theme, with Freddie Keller grinding out the down beat. JANUARY 27 - 29. Mid-term recess for three wonderful days. Everybody gladly forgot their studies and just had one swell time. FEBRUARY 2 found the boarders tripping the "light fantastic” at an informal dance in Scadding Hall. Canned music was used, and Hill cadets were invited. FEBRUARY 5. Report cards came out — need more be said? FEBRUARY 10. A Horizon Club dance was given at the home of Barbara Jean Henton. All said, "Let’s have more of ’em!” FEBRUARY 11. The Juniors again gained the spotlight by giving a silver tea for their mothers. (Dear old mother — always good for another cent!) FEBRUARY 14 found the student body clapping heartily as the class of ’45 presented a modern skit followed by a popular old-fashioned parade. [34] s s �;9 CDelphic — 45 FEBRUARY 15. Lent started and brought with it a new seriousness and purpose of thought. FEBRUARY 16-17 were the days when graduation pictures were taken, each girl grinning grimly into the camera's lens. MARCH 15. The Senior class presented the Co-ed Capers, resulting in as motley a collection of females as one could imagine. With the true St. Helen’s spirit, guests found the pop­ corn ball stand the most inviting concession. MARCH 21 saw seven students confirmed in an impressive ceremony in our Chapel, with Bishop Dagwell officiating. MARCH 22. Dr. Rinehart, past president of Mills College, spoke in a very crisp and delightful manner about her recent travels in South America. MARCH 29 - APRIL 3 included one grand Easter vacation for which most girls had been planning since Christmas vacation. APRIL 9. An ordinary day, to commemorate all the days when nothing special happened, but are days which we want to remember. APRIL 26. The student body held a skating party at the Imperial Rink. Not that we aren’t good skaters, mind you, but the floor kept hitting us in the face. MAY 4 was a day of riotous living, for the May Fete was in full swing, with charming Queen Pattie presiding. MAY 27 and twenty-five girls in white caps and gown sniffled slightly as Bishop Benjamin Dagwell appeared before them in a Baccalaureate service, which brought very near the approaching commencement. JUNE 2. The Junior-Senior prom proved to be a memorable event for all. Especially for the Seniors, who were in their glory. JUNE 4. Intelligence was rewarded and honors bestowed upon those who were outstanding students of the year. JUNE 5. In Trinity Church the graduation class received the diplomas which spelled the end of four years of study and fun. A happy tear or two found its way down many a smilerounded cheek. [35] �I 5 -i 17.

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.

In the mind’s eye they pass in long procession, these girls of St. Helen's—girls in crinoline, stepping out in horse-and-buggy style; girls writing on slates; girls in middy blouses; girls of this air age with its split atoms and V-2 s; and then the girls just ahead, in the future of which we dream; all of them girls of high hopes, girls who look forward and take their part bravely in a changing world. Sr. Helens, as "mater” and guide to them, unites them in bonds of affection and points their pathway to the clear think­ ing and true living which make what the poet has called our "bright tomorrow.” May our memories of days at "the Hall” and the vision gained there of future goals, be as beacon lights forever glowing on our advancing way *i *1 ri 5 1 *1 fiSJ 1 S a 1 5 fci 3 a i sI i k: i !

The organ notes echo a soft "Amen.” Blue-veiled girls reverence the altar and file out behind the cross. t! Chapel is over for another day, and the sense of well­ being which the simple service leaves with the girls starts them out in a restful and happy frame of mind. I I There is nothing elaborate about chapel at St. Helen’s Hall, but it makes the troubles of the day seem less apparent to all of us. i H 1 i «! i �4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 THE FACULTY GERTRUDE HOUR FARISS Director 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 . 2 i k- a b b HARRIET CLOUGH PUSEY Principal �HELEN R.

Their most ambitious undertaking was the Junior Carnival, which, with the cooperation of the other classes, they made the largest in the history of the school Our memories of the enjoyment of that evening will be treasured along with those of the Junior-Senior Prom. Another achievement of the class was the winning of first place in the campaign for contributions to the Infantile Paralysis Fund.

They have also taken their important part in the various campaigns conducted in the school during the year, aided by their adviser, Mrs. Faith Fors. In the fall they gave an entertaining skit in assembly, under the direction of Mrs. Helen R. Snipper, their English teacher, who also accompanied the girls on a week-end of skiing, when they occupied a cabin on Blossom Trail. �Is:?» & EIGHTH GRADE Row I—Diann Swift.

We enjoyed the singing of the Glee Club and the members of the sextette as they coyly fluttered their Chinese fans. And we followed with bated breath the fortunes of "The Dancing Sisters," presented by the ballet class. It was a program we shall not soon forget. The following evening the May Fete formal dance was held in the gymnasium. �HELENAS Row 1—Gcorgine Prior, Nancy Collins, Sella Wincberg.

Helenas, service honor organiza­ tion of the Hall, has carried on varied activities this year, with the aim of accenting the spirit of true progress in the school life. The cross-bearer and the ushers at the daily chapel service are Helenas members, for this group is responsi ble for the numerous duties in con­ nection with the care of the chapel Tliis year the members undertook sending gift boxes each month to a French girl whose family had suf­ fered greatly from the war, and to help finance the project, gave a benefit movie show early in the year. The Helenas have served at teas, cared for the school trophies, and generally have stood ready to help wherever possible.

These have featured the ancient myths, stories from the Odyssey, readings from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, and similar subjects.

GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Promoting better sportsmanship has been the goal of the Girls' Athletic Association this year, and judging from our clean sports and healthy girls it seems that the job has been well done. Two formal initiations were held, one in January and one in March, with the result that the membership is at a new high level To join, the girls must not only earn points in physical education. but must also measure up to high standards in loyalty, ambition, sportsmanship, and other qualities which make a good all-around girl for a good all-around club. In every way the club has taken strides forward this year A special highlight was the spring informal dance, held in April. The efforts of the adviser, Mrs. Agnes C. Swift; the officers, and the entire membership have made the program an outstanding one.

VOLLEYBALL At the top of the fine sports record of the Hall stands our achievement in volleyball. This season we continued the pace set last year by again winning the city championship The season opened with the organizing of class teams. Our Freshmen then battled to a victory in a series of games with the freshmen of Catlin School and brought home a beautiful silver loving cup. The Hallice team, captained by Pat Andrews, was meanwhile losing no time in the tournament sponsored by the City Park Bureau. In this contest our team played the girls of six other high schools, winning twelve games out of thirteen. SPIKE IT! VOLLEYBALL SCHEDULE .49 to 16 .

MOUSE My name is Mouse, Percival Q. Mouse, to be exact And let those who read this little tale know that I am no ordinary rodent. My father was a Harvard man—or mouse, I should say, and my ancestors grewup on good Dutch cheese coming over on the Mayflower Naturally, 1 have an aristocratic outlook. My story begins in the freight-yards of Portland, Oregon. I had been traveling on a cross-country freight car for many weary days and was glad to leave it. Just as I stepped out I was attacked by a hungry' cat of immense proportions whose sole desire, at the moment, was to have me for his supper Not wishing to comply with such an unreasonable demand 1 dashed down the station platform with puss at my heels. I was desperate Obeying an impulse, I clambered up a nearby post, and had just begun to gather my scattered dignity together when a truck hit it with an awful thud and knocked me off onto a pile of baggage. Exhaustion and that fall left me unconscious for some time. When I awoke, having no idea where I was, 1 seemed to be bumping along in a dark pocket. I heard a warm, cordial voice say, "Yes, this is St Helen's Hall. Oh, you are Mrs. Winners, the newr maid. Come right in.” In a moment or two 1 realized that I had fallen into a shopping bag, and it dawned upon me that I was catching a glimpse of a well-known school for girls of which I had often heard Realizing that I was in a dangerous spot, I hopped to the floor and scampered off, thanking my lucky stars that the two women were too engrossed in conversation to notice my escape. I had always had a natural curiosity concerning a girls' school and so seized upon the opportunity to look around a bit. 1 whisked down some stairs, around some corners and found myself in a room empty of people but filled with all manner of queer objects. 1 was so awed by my surroundings that I did not notice the odd glass contraption on the table until .... crash! Glass fragments scattered everywhere! "Now is the time for all sane, sensible mice to keep calm,” I thought, dashing for the nearest exit. Between glass tubes, over books, under tables I madly scrambled, splashing through a pan of some liquid before I reached the safety of the hall. Then I noticed my tail and my paws. There were practically white. Peroxide,” thought I, remembering the pan of liquid. Thus, I can truthfully say that my adventure in the chemistry lab actually turned my hair white. Next I entered a room filled with tall closets The door of one was ajar and so I entered. The dust was so thick it tickled my nose and I sneezed and made a startled jump. Horrors of horrors! All sorts of objects came tumbling down. Books, tennis balls, papers and shoes would have done an excellent job of crushing me had 1 not ducked under a tennis racket. When the avalanche had subsided, I stole out. My suspicions were confirmed. This was the day students' locker room. Classes for the day had begun when I again entered the upper hall, and I had to take care to keep out of sight. I squeezed under a door far enough to peek into one room, where someone w-as drawing a circle with queer lines in it on a blackboard I heard someone say "geometry," which may be harmless, but the drawing looked too much like a mouse-trap for me, and so I scuttled off. I found another room with a door partly opened. The girls inside were talking in a funny fashion. I recognized the word "Seriora," but since my ancestors were strictly English, 1 never bothered to learn Spanish, and so I stayed only a few moments. For the better part of the day I wandered here and there and everywhere, visiting the library, parlor, round table room, and even Mrs. Macdonald's office, where I was almost locked in the small change drawer. 1 found it wasn’t too hard to pick up a little lunch. 1 had always been curious as to how the boarders live, so it was to the boarding department that I next propelled my slightly weary self To say that the place was in a state of confusion would be a gross understatement I heard girls' voices all around me. Elizabeth, hurry up!" "Gloria, may 1 borrow your pearls?" "What time does the dance start?" "If Jack can't come, I don't know what I'll do!” Evidently there was to be a dance. As for the lovely young lady so distressed over Jack's" safe arrival, I thought to myself she needn't have worried. I would have been quite happy to escort her. But then I realized that the difference in our respective heights would render that impractical. I was so busy meditating over this that I forgot to keep myself hidden, and presently there was a shrill screech, "Eek! A mouse!" I hastily decided that the time had come to bid farewell to St. Helen's Hall, and so, dodging shrieking girls, I made a rapid exit via the back stairway. Thus I spent my one and only day at the Hall. In my opinion it is a very fine school, but the next time I want to spend a relaxing day I shall choose a nice, quiet insane asylum instead. Not because 1 have any but fond memories of the Hall, but because 1 fear that daily life there is far too vigorous for a genteel and rather delicate mouse like myself.

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.
