JP 5 �I = = - . i Dedication ■ ! ■ - To the Sisters of the Community of St. John Baptist—through whom we have touched that serene beauty gained in living for serv­ ice to others; in whom we have seen life so nobly patterned that our own small shadows deepen with strength; from whom we face the trial of parting, knowing these years to be ours forever—do we dedicate this Scintilla of 1944, to acknowledge our her­ itage, sprung from an Almighty Godhead. �= r ;.-v-v f iv i ?■! k - !I Theme Within the tall, slender alabaster vessel of the soul, curves of deepest, palest blue, forms a tiny flame, silver-tipped above a glowing heart. At first the flame burns low, and deeper than shad­ ows is the dark, fathomless blue; the flame reaches higher, and in the spreading light, the harmony of curving grace becomes trans­ lucent tones of vibrant blue, merging, dissolving, reforming in the silver glow, diffused through the alabaster veil. And now the flame bursts beyond the clinging shadow of palest blue, enveloping the slender form in its intense blue fire, a crucible that consumes this alabaster of the soul; and flame and form are one, a spirit con­ secrated to the silver heart of Beauty. . . . :9 I ■ : j 1 This volume is the reflection of our flame of Beauty, still caught in the merging, dissolving patterns of silver and blue. We have guarded our flame, nurtured it with the richest oils gathered in these two moments of college; we have watched it grow from a passive depth of blue to a leaping, eager light, tipped with silver. Now the flame seeks to transcend the alabaster. In these first Bickerings of blue and silver shall be discerned, as through a veil, the full flame that guides us in the search for the Beauty we know is ours. 1 : a* J vv-:- •I um �I i ! - REVEREND THOMAS M. BAXTER It is the hope of your chaplain that one of the most enduring possessions gained from your two years at St. Helen's Hall will be a conception of the beauty of holiness. The day is past, thank God, when ugliness was considered a virtue. Christianity is, and always should be, a thing of beauty. Its founder showed us, as no one else ever has, the true beauty of human life. He taught us the beauty of the lilies of the field and the beauty of God's deal­ ing with man. His Church has tried to follow His example. Her historians wrote and de­ livered to us, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the most beautiful of all stories—a story which has moved the hearts of men as none other. Her members have produced or inspired the most beautiful in art, architecture, and music. Her worship is consistently beautiful. It is my prayer that those who go forth from this place will carry with them such a mem­ ory of the beauty of holiness that they will seek it wherever they go. �■SSI ;. jSwf Each hour ... A moment ol eternity To b© held or lost; Hold it in beauty. And each hour is yours . • • > Eternally. ��GERTRUDE HOUK FARISS To The Class of 1944 Years ago as she wandered through the Land of the Children, the little girl came upon a garden in which grew the pure white blooms of the Flower of Beauty. Their radiance passed into her soul, and their fragrance filled her being; so that, when the time came for her to depart from the Land of the Children in order to search for the Earth-land, she wept because she must leave the garden. But like all of the other children who were to visit the Earth-land, she was given one seed from the garden to bear with her. . . . After the little girl had come to Earth-land but while she was still a child in mortal years, she buried the seed in the warmth of the earth. Each day she watched over it, putting into the soil year cfter year the most careful and faithful work of which she was capable. When at the coming of each spring no bloom appeared, she enriched the soil with her gradually increasing patience; she learned all that she could of the care of this rare seed and cultivated the earth with the tools of her growing wisdom and understanding; she gave up many childish pleasures in order to care for her precious possession and so watered it with the dew of self-sacrifice. And when the bloom still did not appear, she turned her eyes upward and prayed that she might see Beauty. . . . And then one day the flower bloomed, and the little girl passed from childhood as she watched in ecstacy. But as suddenly as it bloomed, the flower faded. She who had nurtured it wept for what she had lost. She grieved until her sorrow was finally lost in sleep. But as she slept, a miracle occurred, and the young girl became lost in the woman. In the heart of the woman there lay hidden the white blossoms of Beauty. ... In the freshness of the early morning the woman awoke and smiled quietly in her joy. For the flower that she loved bloomed now in the place that she had prepared for it. She knew that there would never again come the moment of fading for the immortal flower. It was safe forever in the sheltered garden of her heart. GERTRUDE HOUK FARISS �I .! • ! = i ' : .

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

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

Maybe I decide to retire into the book-store, for instance, for a quiet study hour. I walk in and settle down to my books. Everything is fine for a few minutes. Then I realize it is stuffy and open one of the windows. Having opened a window, I become absorbed in watching a soldier v/alk down the street. He turns a corner, and so, with a sigh, I return to my work. I study intensively—for about five minutes. Suddenly the door bursts open, and a pro­ spective customer comes bounding in. She wants to know if we have any index cards. We haven't. After she leaves, I try once more to read my assignment. This time I am disturbed by the sound of voices outside. I lean out the window and carry on a scintillating conversation with the girls below. The conversation consists of such brilliant remarks as, "Where are you going?" and Bring me something to eat from the bakery." Once more I resume my reading (I have covered one and a half pages), and once more the door opens. This time it is my friend, Suzie. She wants me to write a little note to her boy-friend's pal, who is lonesome and wants a letter. I agree and then chew on my pen for ten minutes. Shall I be casual and breezy and start by saying, "Hi, Slug"? Shall I be af­ fectionate and say, "Dearest Joe"? Or shall I perhaps be business-like and begin with "My dear sir"9 My brooding is interrupted by the entrance of the girls from the bakery. I decide to pause long enough to take a little nourishment; after all, I need my strength. I devour the last crumb of food and go back to my studying. But hark! What is that? Can it be ... it is! The bell has rung. I cannot understand how time can go so quickly. JUNE RICHARDS While the Sophomore Muses SPRING MELODY You know, I like the Hall—especially in Spring! There's something about crisp yellow sunshine that makes you want to twirl around three times and sing hilariously about many things--especially about how glad I am to be a student at S.H.H.J.C. The red bricks and gray walls of the buildings seem to echo my exuberance; and even the bacteriology labora­ tory assumes a lighter, more subtle fragrance in honor of the Goddess of Spring. Honestly, you'd be surprised at the small things I find exciting at the Hall. You might even laugh when you discover that I love to open the windows to gaze philosophically at fat cotton clouds against pale blue, wishing for a new dress to match the color of the sky; to race to the store in between classes to buy a shiny yellow-red apple that has .such a juicy sweetness it tastes like nectar; to lie flat on my back on the floor of the stage room, the air swelling with Debussy's "Afternoon of a Faun", the sun crowding in to share my enjoyment; to renew faded memories at the piano with any one who drifts into the room, lured by snatches of melody; to offset the war-time maid problem by aiding in the kitchen, clumsily arranging, to the consternation of the cook, crisp pieces of lettuce in arty salad pat­ terns; to throw myself half out the window, waving at every male who goes by, whether he be the streetcar conductor or the pre-school darling; to freeze happily in the icy tempera­ ture of all play rehearsals, breathlessly watching fragments grow into a tightly woven pro­ duction; to laugh hysterically at my attempts at being graceful in modern dancing; to marvel at the faculty who can be as gloriously young as we giddy students; to kneel with friends in thankful prayer in our small chapel, dedicating our lives to lofty ideals— Yes, these are the things that I will remember about the Hall.

Softly through this silence, becoming almost a part of it, float the sweet strains of the "Ave Maria'creating an atmosphere of divine reverence, filling our hearts with the desire to worship and to humble ourselves before the one true, living God. : Our heads bowed, we silently express our praise as we kneel, awaiting the beginning words of devotion. We are, in this instant, lost between Heaven and earth. ; - Such as this are our brief moments with God as we thank Him for our blessings and as we pray for a peace which will remain with us in the days to come i. Through the final words of benediction the great voice of the organ is again heard, its music expressing the glory which we have felt, the wonder of this haven in a world of turmoil, these moments with "Our Father— CARMEN SYNNES ! •j Love Song f These are the things I love; Soft candlelight and loving laughter, The sound of rain on the roof above, The sparkling dew in the early morn, Brown eyes, and music low and sweet, The starfish hands of a babe new born, The sound of wind so clean and free, The stormy sea, the touch of mist; These things are dear to me. —JUNE RICHARDS Night i! I I Oh, night—thou sweet, enfolding opiate, Quieting the ravished, throbbing earth, Let me hide among thy circling clouds, And sleep—in sleep there is no war. Let me shut my eyes against the death Of comrades. Help me to forget the tales Of pain and famine ruling far-off lands . . . And yet, oh, night, thy sweet oblivion Is like the river Lethe's dark-robed spell, A thick, enfolding dream, the weaklings' god; For with the roseate dawn of a new day, There comes the shining glory of the sun, And Hope eternal rules each heart again. —MARGARET ROGERS i i �Wings of Love The human soul is like a dove Which soars to heights unbound; Its fervor guided by that love And faith in Heaven found. The flame of trust reflects the light Of man's ideals inspired; Celestial glory brings delight, When duty is desired.

Though sorrows mar the joys we share, God's love will not decay; For His own thoughts are everywhere To sanctify the day! —HELEN L. TIMS Line and Form Birches . . .

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

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

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

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

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

Its members seek not only to offer material service but also to gain spiritual guidance. Traditional privileges of chapel care keep Forum members unobtrusively busy: the chapel is comfort­ ably warm at every service; book-markers for the hymn books eliminate the old fumbling for the right page. Reverently serious faces look toward the stained-glass windows and the fresh flowers on the candlelit altar. Tuesday and Thursday noons during winter find the Forum girls turning cooks! Every one crowds : ■ eagerly into the foods lab. "Have you any mushroom2 Mmm, this is good!" And then members diligently begin their dish washing—always remembering to save the cans for the tin drive. Spring—and Forum plants flowers! See, they are growing already—delicate morning glories and other bright, gay flowers—in the Quadrangle, the rock garden, near Scadding, everywhere. Wet paint! What's this? Admiring students gaze upon freshly painted steps. They look almost too dazzling to walk on! April means Quiet Day, one of the most precious of Hall traditions. Quiet and earnest prayer, inspira­ tion and consecrated meditation, peace and beauty fill the chapel and the minds and hearts of every one. I I :; : LJ �t c I c D ■ a c 3 R c *1 *1 5 5 c c c E.

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

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

The coronation ceremonies beginning with the royal processional, the |esters prancing along in mock dignity beside their petite ruler, have progressed to their climax as the Prime Minister (Mrs Fariss) places the crown of white flowers on the head of the new sovereign, proclaiming, "I crown thee Queen Barbara I ". Now comes the first royal edict of Queen Barbara, officially opening the evening to merry-making. The cere­ monies are placed in the hands of the Mistress of Court Entertainment, Margaret Rogers . . . Her maiesty’s loyal subjects welcome spring.'' (A doubtful spring, with intermittent showers) : . . Music, dancing, a kingdom of color and laughter . . . “For the pleasure of your gracious majesty . Fairyland comes to the Hall for a brief moment with the never-failing enchantment of Peter Pan and Wendy. Last of all comes the traditional May-pole dance. Girls in pastel formats weave a symphony of color around the while pole . . , With a low curtsy the Mistress of Court Entertainment declares the program to be at an end. The recessional music begins . . . the queen rises and is helped from the throne by the jesters. Another May Carnival becomes a memory. : m f m m m M �fc B= C C DRAMA DEPARTMENT Rehearsals started even before school began, and if the drama department continues to run true to form, rehearsals will undoubtedly still be going on long after school is out. for productions seem to go on forever! During Freshman Week, the new students were to be introduced to the drama department via College Doze, the first performance of the year. After a series of fun-packed rehearsals, the ploy was ready to be presented- A Lowly Freshman, portrayed by Ruth Wacker, under the wing of an Academic Guide played by Mary-Helen Duffy, was led through the trials and tribulations of a mythical college life, m which she underwent registration, sorority pledging, psychological tests, nursery-school training, and selected classes. Hoping that the audience would return at later dates for more serious productions, the drama deport ment bade adieu to what might well be described as "low comedy. Christmas seemed to come earlier than usual, for some reason, and with it came more rehearsals This time, however, the mood was quite different from the first show of the year. Peace and hope were the mes­ sages the girls worked to convey through the production of Women of Bethlehem. Joyous music from two choirs, combined with the soft glow of lighted tapers, added greater meaning to the Angel s prayer for a war-torn world: " . . and may the light that filled the world on that blessed night so long ago bring the promise of peace to all nations and the richness of love to each of you . Christmas vacation brought the beginning of a new year, and with that new year plans were made for the first major production of the season, the Student Players' seventh annual experimental night The date was set for February ninth. An original script was compiled by Mrs Carolyn B Collett from books and plays about the three Bronte sisters of Haworth, England. The title, No Coword Soul '. was taken from the last poem ever written by Emily Bronte, and the nine scenes of the play were introduced by excerpts from poems written either by Emily or by Charlotte Bronte Into the roles of the famous sisters were cast Virginia Torgeson as Charlotte Bronte, June Richards as Emily Bronte, and Beverly Triplett as Anne Bronte. "The creation of a human soul is an unforgetable experience . To the cast of came the tremendous responsibility of portraying characters who had really lived her role with humility, realizing that any misinterpretation on her part would be a "human soul". Several weeks of research acquainted each girl with the intricacies of to depict, including even the minute details of personal correspondence C c E E E E E c E No Coward Soul Each girl approached blasphemy against a the character she was In the staging of this experimental production, the fourth wall ', or proscenium arch, was actually used in the set. A dark purple drapery was hung to stage left, |ust inside the outer stage curtain, only its border revealed. This drapery represented a window in Haworth Parsonage. Whenever an actress stood by it, she v/as gazing, in her character's mind, upon the dismal moors which so influenced the lives of the Bronte sisters. Experimental in nature, also, was the costuming of the play All of the costumes were stylized, being made exactly alike in accordance with one, simple, period pattern, differing only in color. The symbolical value of color was employed to denote the essential qualities or core of each character to be portrayed On the opening night, the before-curtain hush back-stage was momentarily broken when Mrs Collett brought in a small hand-painted picture of pale blue harebells The picture had been painted by Charlotte Bronte herself almost one hundred years ago, and had been brought to the play by a great-niece of Arthur Nicholls, Charlotte s husband It was os though the very spirit of the moors had entered Scadding Hall. Each girl went on stage more resolved than ever to do justice to the story of the Brontes. "No Coward Soul . . " was twice repeated during March for the benefit of the Red Cross War Fund Having once given the play for their own creative and aesthetic satisfaction, the girls were anxious and willing to repeat it for such a cause and in this way to prove that the theatre can have a definite place in a world at war Reluctantly, oh, so very reluctantly, the girls closed the prompt book for No Coward Soul . and began rehearsals for the spring play.. John Van Druien's Old Acquaintance A far cry from Haworth Parson­ age on the Yorkshire moors and from the Pensionnat Heger in Brussels, a duplex flat in Greenwich Village and a Park Avenue apartment in New York were the new stage sets for Scadding Hall The girls were now to learn that even so-called "sophisticated comedy' must be created with truth and absolute sincerity. As the rehearsals progressed, the underlying drama was revealed. The girls realized that to feel intense emotion and cover it with sparkling repartee took even greater ability than to portray unconcealed emotion. May tenth and eleventh saw the final performances of the Student Players of 1944-1945 The academic year had been filled with rehearsals, rehearsals, rehearsals; but each girl found herself infinitely richer in human experience and understanding after even a brief submerging of her own personality in another char acter, for, although the performance is the technical goal of rehearsals, the perfection of a role may often be reached in the rehearsal room. Truly each girl learned to develop " . . the creative spark which burns as a flame in the soul of each of us. t E 6=1 fc? E fc* t ti ta E E E t E * �I .

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

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

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

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

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

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

He wishes for me to play as he does. If only I could! When he plays, the music lives, and so does he. d d Into his eyes, usually stern, there comes a sort of celestial light—as if he were hearing the voice of the Almighty through the harmony of the piano. The eyes become a brighter blue, and the sternness is replaced by kindly love and light of inspiration. He seems to be in a state of complete happiness. When he has finished playing, he becomes, again, a be-spectacled little bald-headed commoner in a d white shirt, a shirt clean as wax always and starched stiff as cardboard. There is never a spot on his tie; and d are loose and foolishly wrinkled at the seat. The seat of his trousers, of course, is shiny, and the wrinkles d back there are out of place in contrast with the rest of his clothing. Peering from below the trouser cuffs are d fat, as he is, but long and black and slender. He walks on them as if he were afraid of exposing the mon­ d which he fingers constantly during conversation. his vest, never missing a button, fits neatly over his aged, rotund stomach.

The Danes were in love; they had been for thirty-six years and more A round, little man with boyish apple cheeks and wayward bangs of white, faintly-curly hair. Bill Dane sank into his chair as May flew briskly about the room, putting last-minute touches on the supper table Bill wriggled his chubby toes in his slippers, stretched, took a last glance at the evening headline. Thengosh sakes. May. Ain't you got supper done yet?' and he was hungry Fer Bill was a kind, good-natured fellow—but he was a man; "Ma ay1" h~ May's voice was quiet and soothing.

See," May said to her fifty-eight year old boy-husband, Her lumbago is worse I ve made a speshul' blue fr~ berry pie for yer supper " The peevish look melted from his face "Honey!" There were only two places on the Dane table now. There had been five for a long time, but kids will go off 'n get married," Bill knew. He should know! Hadn't he done so himself? Bill liked it this way It was more like when they were first married: everything spic n span, Mary busy cooking for him, him coming home from work— May smiled at him indulgently Her Bill, " she mused. She spoiled him, she knew But then, she always had—for thirty-six years and more. Even when the children were babies, the most pampered baby was Bill It used to make Doug angry to have to eat squash twice a week because Pop liked it. The rest of the family 6= 6= Ft— h~ hated squash. Even May was nauseated by its green-sweet smell, but she heaped her plate high, knowing that if Bill liked anything, it had to be good. Doug s protests were short-lived, May never heard them anyway. She would sit, spoon in hand, gazing with ecstasy at the contented face of her rotund husband. And Bill, his heart full of devotion and his mouth full of potatoes, would smile across the table and proclaim her—the besh—(gulp)—darned cook in Mac—(swallow)—inlosh coun'y." Ft— lv- Well, supper was over. Bill helped May dry dishes, mixing duty with pleasure and spoons with forks Fr— "Now, Bill—you go rest. Y'been workm hard all day.' The light of heroic martyrdom glistened in Bill's eyes, the color of "coke . with sparkling bubbles of w.t and "deviltry" fizzing in them. Bill worked hard at his job. "Why, the time the boss had no one else to depend on—" "And O’Leary told me, Bill,' he sez, 'yeer the oonly man on the job that's wirth yer salt, and tv yer wirth tin o' thim lazy Swedes'. May's head bobbed vigorously up and down in enthusiastic pride. Of course, her Bill was the best man on earth, she told the dimity apron as she hung it on a peg "The best! she affirmed as if the fact should restarch the ruffles of the drooping petticoatry. tv Bill and May strolled in their garden, his arm around her plump waist, her arm as far around his plumper one as a short chubby arm would reach. Lifting, un unison, two saucy noses and averting their faces, they ignored the Rutledges next door. Mr. Rutledge had dared to question the quality of the zinnias, May s pride and joy, and the color of Bill s gladioli. "The zinnias are doing well," said he. "So are the gladioli," quoth she.

In the muddy bottom of the creek, a few plodding turtles snapped and blinked as they trudged their way, 3 below the sun-light. Back and forth, flitting from side to side, flashed the silver-sided minnows, testing the 3 current, changing courses. 3 3 Close to the source of the miniature river, in the quieter waters of a wayside pool, water-lilies bloomed and frogs croaked in deep voices to the schools of fingerlmgs in the shadows of the lily pads Here the wee fish played and feasted as they waited the growth that would enable them to try the rush of the waters 3 ahead of them With the importance born of age, the frogs scratched endlessly on, freely advising the youngsters, warning, instructing, confusing. And the finned adolescents listened wonderingly, for the stream 3 was a huge and exciting tide, and the flow appeared bewildering and unsafe 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 At the side of the pool, beneath the shade of a gnarled rosebush, flowed a tiny spring The water of the spring was of a purity that shone even in the clearness of the sun-bathed pool. Gradually, the tiny fish drew around the pompous croakers and gathered near the distilled flow of the spring. Here they absorbed a fluid of such refined learning that they knew, without being taught, the way of the brook before them. Drawn from the finest mist of ocean spray—the fog of far-off lands—the rain of prairies—the dew of new \ days—the drops of clouds—all combined, blended, and purified by the filtering through fine sand and rich earth—the distillate of the little spring brought vast experience, enriched vision, wide perspective and surer judgment to the eager newcomers Thus, without the sound of voice, the colorless fingerlings developed inner selves that glowed through them, lending to the body surfaces a bright, clear hue. So empowered, they made their way into the stream, knowing what faced them and strong enough to master the current. And as the goldfish traveled, they kept an eye always upturned, for they had learned that the same sky that 3 roofed the pool was ever above them—a clear and compassionate sky—always blue and constant behind 3 the storm-clouds. :: —BEVINS HALEY 3 ': 3 3 3 3 3 VISION V To those who at birth were blind, the lack of light is but a torture robbed of pain—for light is never lost where not possessed To those who learn the host to play to blindness in the midst of lightened years, the robbery is not complete—for the memory and the knowledge of light cannot be stolen.

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

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

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

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

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

With high hearts and fervent hope they undertook to “scintillate" their Scintilla, spic­ ing it with a little fun, adding the spirit of real friendship, and blending in the college's cherished traditions All efforts were combined to squeeze as much as possible of the two chuck-packed years of college life into one cherished record. Officers were elected and appointed and immediately began to work/ The Ad staff, composed almost solely of peppy and willing freshmen, sprang into step and invaded various places of business in strong numbers. “Quickies" were constantly being held in the sanctuary of Mrs. Fariss' office by the staff’s advice seekers. Scintillas of other years received a good dusting off, as the staff thumbed through them to gather a few more intriguing ideas. An art contest was sponsored by the Staff to intensify the already enthusiastic activity. Sophomores rushed down for their appointments at the photographers, and in turn the photographers came to the campus to take activity pictures. All subjects obliged as the black-hooded camera clicker announced the “birdie", and all willingly said “cheese." Indecision followed decision, and again decision followed indecision as choices had to be made in regard to what “bits" would be included in the annual. And eager questions of, “Do you like this proof better than that one? Please tell me; I'm fran­ tic!" were exchanged by distracted sophomores. At last all important conclusions were reached, and the Class of 1947 reached the climax of its great adventure. The Scintilla was sent to the printer! Breathing became easier! Now it's just a matter of having every one sign every one's else Scintilla. Nostalgic students will take last precautions to tuck this memoir gently away, so that the beloved experiences of days at the Hall may be relived during the years to come. > < n i : i ai S : 3' i ir~i :i t■ ; t* I t 6 !

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

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

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

As we grow older, we may often lose sight of the magic light of beauty. But sooner or later we all realize its ethereal presence How easy it is to lose for a moment our realization of beauty 3 and the ultimate truths derived from it But like fading music and summer rain, the memory of it somehow 3 clings to us. 3 3 -t We may look upon physical beauty and be warmed, but ultimate perfection lies beyond the ephemeral moment. It is an intrinsic part of a far greater pattern of life. If we can envision loveliness in our hearts, no matter how much we are tried by life's adversities, beauty and the ultimate spiritual truths to which its leads will always be within us. 3 Now we come to the end and the beginning. But the end and the beginning are one. Thus we may re­ 3 capture the beauty we have known thus far and continue on life's way — our spirits filled with beauty, our 3 hearts filled with truth. 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 i —NANCY STARKWEATHER. i | I ■ ; �W I I 1 11 E! Morning Mood Home is in the country on the slope of a small hill, overlooking a valley with majestic snow-covered mountains in the distance, keeping their vigil over fruitful farms, forests, and rivers. The beautiful blossoms on the fruit trees dance and sparkle in the morning sunlight. The white blossoms of the cherry trees fall slowly to the ground as if hesitating to disturb the snowy bank beneath. Delicate pink and white tinted blossoms spread a soft velvety carpet below the apple trees, and the deeper peach blossoms flutter silently to the earth The air, free of the smoke and soot of the city, tingles with freshness. Clear tones of the birds, disdainful sf r *7 *T T *7 of the noisy jangle of the town, fill the grateful silence. A deer leaps gracefully across fields of grain, sway­ ing gently in the breeze.

The street lights cast a pale yellow glow in this sea of hovering darkness. Hours grew and the night thickened and wavered. The still atmosphere was intensified by the low moan of a thousand wailing night sounds. They seemed like lost ghostly children, mourning at the gates of paradise. Hate, fear, and bitterness floated in waves of vapor s t■ 0 £5 around the lambent post. A shadowy semblance of a ghoul flitted into the circle of light and hovered It" momentarily. The air was shivered by a terrorized moan, as the ghoul darted out of the light. But as it was fir:- about to engulf its prey, the sound of a million violins caressed the atmosphere and dawn broke, lifting the G E■ fog and bathing the square in a glow of golden light. —EMELIA METROVILLI. d £■ Hymn Before a Fireplace Stronger, now no more unknown, L t* t I! b Let my comfort be your own.

She raised her tiny body slowly and with a supreme effort firmly pushed herself away from the daisy-strewn lawn upon which she lay.

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

It would have to be of such a kind that would combine every other adjective in one, and then it wouldn’t half describe, for she was, without doubt, the sweetest, daintiest, most irresistible little personage in the school. She had been condemned long ago as the Belle of the Academy, and there was no doubt whatever, after one saw her walk home with fairly a flock of �4 THE SPINSTER boys following. But then Betty had a temper, and oft times when standing to recite some’ boy or girl would take the words out of her mouth, she would fairly turn on them in a rage, and it wasn’t often that the guilty one repeated his or her offence. Betty leaned now in the gymnasium against the wall—it was the calm after the storm, for she was thinking very hard. Things had most certainly gone wrong in her dominion, and it would take all her thoughts to straighten them. She was interrupted in her medita­ tions by a gentle voice saying: “What’s the matter, Betty; you look as if you had gotten out of the wrong side of the bed. Oh! you aren’t crying, are you?’’ Helen, the newcomer and Betty’s most confidential friend, threw herself down on the great mattress at Betty’s feet and prepared herself Well, I should say not!’’ flared up the curlyfor a stormy oration, haired little individual, “if you ever catch me crying over Fred Mor­ gan you have my full permission to slap me just as hard as you want to—Oh, how I hate him!”—with a long indrawn breath Betty told the fib, for she knew quite well as most everybody else did, that she liked Fred Morgan better than any of them. “I might as well tell you what that horrid boy said: I was going past Prof. James’ room and he and George Newcomb were in there talking. I guess George must be his best friend, for he seems to tell him everything that he shouldn’t. Oh, if you knew, Helen, how I’d like to just punch him,”—Betty almost blushed at this, but curling upon the mattress she went on with her tale; “and just as I passed I heard my name, and Fred was saying that—well—well, that he cared a little about me, but would care much more if I would study and do I �I THE SPINSTER 5 something else besides having a good time always. He said to George he would give anything to see me get a prize this coming June—isn’t he just a horrid old thing, Helen; it’s none of his business—old ambitious dig, anyway. > > “To tell the truth, Betty. I think Fred is right; you, of course, are the most popular girl in the school, but still that won’t do you any good, and at the rate you are studying you won’t do much. Let me tell you a plan. Suppose you get to work now and do your best and then iu June surprise Fred by carrying off the- coveted English prize. You are certainly bright and when you want to study you can show the classes a thing or two in reciting,” Helen advised. This plan seemed to take good root in Betty’s brain, for really down in her heart she knew she was terribly lazy; anyway, wouldn’t it “spite old Fred. For a long time the girls lay curled upon the mattress and talked— deciding everything, for it would so much more to Betty’s graduation if she did get a prize—and with all her brains and heart she con­ scientiously set to work and the rest of that term Betty’s recitations were certainly good, and the professors themselves were astonished at her unusual intelligence. »i But in all of this busy time Betty did not quite forgive Fred— nor did he do anything that was so dreadful, either. Between classes when he came up to speak to her in the hall, she would answer in a freezing manner, and tilt her little chin up with a most crushing air. Fred couldn’t imagine what had happened, for he had done his duty by her in inviting her to the party and every other thing that came along. Fred, the football captain, was certainly worried and it didn’t lessen his discomfiture to see Betty sweetly smile on the crowd V ! ■ ! ! �6 THE SPINSTER around her. Football captains, handball champions, star runners evidently didn’t make much difference with that little piece of contrary humanity. > > Aud Fred wasn’t the horrid old thing nor the dig” either that Betty has so uncerimoniously dubbed him. The fellows virtually adored him, he was a member of every society and fraternity in the school it seemed, but he was going to Princeton, and as it was impossible to go there on the road of “Do Nothing,” he passed “Castle Doubtful” and took the cross road “Do Somtliing. ” Fred certainly was the dandiest boy in school and he liked Betty. i < The weeks fairly flew past for Both Betty and Fred busy and now only a week remained of examinations and then commencement. Betty thought it all over as she prrpared a pile of books to take home. She guessed she was a little ashamed of herself for being so snippy to Fred, but she would wait until after commencement and what it might bring forth for her and then she would tell him all about it. She knew though in what a fascinating beseeching manner she could plead her cause—if she only wanted to—no one ever could possibly with­ stand that. Betty passed with credit marks in almost every one of her examinations. Helen was so proud of her that when she came from the study hall Helen would swing her around and fairly kiss her to pieces in her ecstas}7. And now amid the brain racking apprehensions, as Betty called them, the eventful night arrived. Everybody and everything seemed in such bounding spirits. The girls laughed and sang more happily, and the boys whistled unceasingly and as Betty made her way to the English room, to which she had been commanded, she even caught herself whistling and singing, not withstanding the thoughtful mood slie was in. ;: :t ,1K �THE SPINSTER 7 “Miss Whitney I wanted to ask you if you had any thoughts concerning the English prize that is offered—you have been doing splendid work and I want to say that I most sincerely hope you will do the same kind of work in the next school you enter. The main object of my calling you here was just to tell you to take these books that you left here a day or so ago. > > Betty was very much astonished that Profes James should men­ tion the prize, for surely that was a sign that she had a fair chance. She talked with him a while then gathering up her book went home. & The great hall was crowded to its utmost. Flags and many kinds of pennants fluttered from every nook and post, and everybody was happy. The graduating class took their seats amid loud cheers and Betty with her beautiful little face certainly did make a picture. She was dressed all in white except for a bow of pale pink ribbon that tied up her dark hair. The order of the graduating exercises was just right, for Betty declared “that if she had to sit all night long in suspension she would die,” but the speaking and prizes came in the middle together. Fred was going to read something, Betty hadn’t the slightest idea what it was because she didn’t want to know she declared and he certainly did look handsome as he stood on the platform amid the flowers and the lights of the decorations. But Beatrice the little witch woudn’t admit that she had treated him cruelly—even if she had felt remorse she would cut off her finger before she would give him the satisfaction of knowing. Finally the principal arose and stepped to the platform—(every one held their breath). Starting with a little speech stating the pur- �8 THE SPINSTER pose of the prizes, he read in a clear voice, Mathematics: first prize, Helen Morse. Such a wild cheering and handclapping as accompanied her to the platform, where she received the small piece of paper, which was the temporary acknowledgement. Then proceeding the principal continued, Science, Scholarship and first recitation price: Frederick Bentley Morgan. And after the wild commotion had subsided he continued, First English price and First History, Beatrice R. Whitney. -£• a Betty and Fred the next evening went to the Fraternity barge party together, and, well I guess everybody else knows the rest too. Let us only add that contrary little Miss Whitney wasn’t quite so haughty and Fred’s smile was almost so big it almost covered his face. E. W. 07. Jack, the Lady-Killer. BY CLARA BOOT. C OME, my children, and I will tell you the story of dashing and dapper young Jack, who won all the ladies’ hearts and rid the country of Gay-en-esy of troublesome flirts. It was always his pleasure to assist and aid the ladies, who needed assistance or were in distress, and young and old loved him, particularly his mother, who gave him all the Panama hats and patent leather shoes he wanted. It was a great sight to see the maidens of Gay-en-esy flock to the boulevard where Jack usually took his afternoon walk and watch their faces gladden at an unexpected word or an unusually gracious bow. Now in the country of Gay-en-esy there lived some maidens who thought it great sport to pick out some earnest plodding youth and by �THE SPINSTER 9 a thousand tricks win noble affections. The youth would no sooner consider himself the happiest of men, when he would find himself tossed aside; an embittered man with some heavy florist bills and the noble Jack made it his aim in life to punish all these frivolous triflers md he soon had an enormous practice. For when a maiden had won for herself the self-satisfying name of “heart-breaker” Jack would immediately single her out, load her with attention, and when her happiness seemed to eclipse the happiness of the world, for no woman had ever been known to resist his looks and hone3red words. She would find herself treated as she herself had treated many others. Now it seems that Prince Block-hed, the only son of King Re­ gent of Gay-eu-esy had been cruelly treated by a certain. Yet the price was high and Jack resolved to try. As he sat down on stump to think about it, an old woman came near. Jack recognized to be a fairy in disguise, as he had seen that same facial expression on a cow that had passed by just a minute before (for fairies like to make them­ selves like animals as well as men do) and he knew his chance had come. “Pray dear Madam, may I carry your faggots for you,” he said stepping galantly to her side. They had not walked many steps be­ fore the old woman said: “Virtue has its reward, young man. ’Tis few old women that can repay such courtesy, but with me it is easy,” and so saying she gave him a “Ring of Circumstance” which had the power of placing the wearer in any circumstance that he might choose, and the good fairy also threw in a flowered cravat and an Alice-blue tie. �JO THE SPINSTER Jack was very happy, and after telling the King that he was going to punish the playful Dreamie-ize and receiving that worthy gentleman’s thanks, he set out for the home of Dreamie-ize. The first circumstance that Jack wished for placed Dreamie-ize in the hands of two bandits, and Jack rushed out from a clump of trees and slew them both, and had the pleasure and fatigue of carrying to her home one hundred and eighty pounds of loveliness. Dreamie-ize was very much impressed with the dashing Jack and after a number of hair-breadth escapes and gallant rescues which Jack produced by means of the magic ring, she found herself much in love with him. Maiden, Dreamie-ize, who lived in a neighboring town, Her affection for him had amounted to nothing more than having the name of Prime Block-hed in her diary of proposals and when King Regent heard it, he was very angry and issued a proclamation offering a third of a kingdom to the one that could likewise treat her, as his son had been treated. These striking head lines made Jack’s heart jump and though he had never had any trouble before with ladies and he had dealt with the wise, the rich and the beautiful, he knew the task before him was not an easy one, for he had heard of Dreamie-ize and knew that she was more beautiful, twice as witty, three times as rich and four times more coquettish and perverse than ony other maiden in the laud. When Jack discovered her feelings on the subject he knew it was time for him to play his part and fulfill his contract with the king but the circumstances had worked on his affe<5tion too and the thought of giving up Dreamie-ize made him shudder. So they married, and though King Regent sued Jack for breach of promise, Dreamie-ize gladly paid the damages and they lived happily ever after. �THE SPJNTSER ii The Last Will and Testament of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Six. KNOWN BY ALL THESE PRESENT. Whereas, we here bequeath to our worthy successors, the Juniors, the use of the front stairs, trusting they will tread them with all dignity and not slide down the banisters. Also the Senior room, within whose walls we have endeavored to obtain an understanding of sound knowledge and useful lore. Keep your junior friends off the premises. Whereas, the Seniors here bequeath to the class of 1907 the jolly good times they’ve had at Junior parties. Whereas, Janet Gray leaves the Spinster with all the glory attend upon the publication of such a weighty periodical, to some cool headed intellectual person, with no nerves what ever, hoping she might invent some way to make the girls write. Whereas, Elizabeth Armstrong does here leave behind to the most enthusiastic young basket ball player her love of the game and ad­ miration for proficiency in the same, trusting if their progress is such they may win the cup, this ensuing year a reward for their valor. Whereas, Kathleen Armstrong does here bequeath to some frolicsome Junior her love of laughter, which as a dignified Alumnae she must now forswear. Whereas, Isabella Hughes does here endow a Senior Museum, and as a testimony of her good faith, does to a person legally appointed by her, leave a book bearing the title Geometry and a compass to both of which cling many memories of happy school days. �,1 12 THE SPINSTER Whereas, Gertrude Jones does here regret on account of a change in the course she is unable to will a Psychology to some poor unfortunate Junior. Whereas, Arlene Davis does resign her place as the diminutive Hop o’ my Thumb of the school to the smallest person able to fit into her place. Whereas, Helena Hughes leaves to Evelyn Wilson, Virgil and Bennett’s Latin Grammar. It is her wish that the said Evelyn Wilson be a diligent student and watchful caretaker of the same, that by their help she may ultimately enter a school of higher learning. Whereas, Genevieve Sengstackeu does hereby bequeath to the Junior most worthy of the trust, Jessie Plale, her dignity, hoping she will maintain it with all due decorum. Sealed, signed, witnessed this first day of June, in the year of our Lord 1906.

Dear Miranda: I have been in town just two days and never in my eighty years have I gone through or hope to go through what I did yesterday. I i- �THE SPINSTER *3 was knitting upstairs in George’s home, the first day I have been able to do a thing, so upset was I by that night on the train, When I heard some mighty shrieks’7 and a crowd of girls yelling and waving things and making the most terrible hurrah you ever did hear came romping down the street. I had noticed a large brick building in the neighborhood and for a moment I thought it was the asylum and the inmates had gotten loose, but folks were passing by us and not being alarmed so I guessed they wasn’t crazy. But, Miranda, the screaming never stopped from the time they reached the field, where they all gathered until they went home, one crowd trying to shout louder than the other. While I was wondering how long they would keep it up ten more all dressed alike in unusually short dresses came down and then there was louder yelling then ever. Miranda, I wish you could have seen the girls fight over one ball. Backwards and forwards, tussling and pulling while the others kept on yelling till I thought it must be for the constable to come and stop them. Every once and a while they would seem as though they were going to stop and once I thought they had, and was just beginning to breathe easy when they were at it again, One woman that I noticed tried very hard to inter­ fere and stop them and once she had the ball in her hand, but they soon got it away from her and were at the yelling and tugging again. Miranda, it lasted all one hour. Every one seemed entirely worn out and then the woman stopped them. I was just congratulat­ ing myself that none of our folks were such heathens when one of them came running into the yard into the house and up into my room. Miranda, who do you think stood before me? George’s oldest girl, Mary! Her hair was all over, and the dirt on her face so thick, that if she hadn’t spoken, I wouldn’t have told who she was. �THE SPINSTER 14 Grandma,” she said, “its the biggest match of the season, the Evens won and we’ve got the cup, Hurrah!” Then Miranda, Mary explained to me that it was a game and that they had no intention of killing each other, but that they were trying to put the ball in a basket, which I was too near sighted to see I guess. I don’t see why George lets Mary play such a game in such an outlandish short dress, but everything here is new and strange and I guess, Miranda, I’ll be home before the week’s out.

The St. Helen’s Hall Building Association and the Society of the Royal Banner have both done steady work during the winter for the increase of the Building Fund. The amounts stand thus: Gymnasium Fund, $884 72. Chapel Fund, $1828 72. Locals. The last business meeting of this term of the Society of the Royal Banner was held Friday afternoon, May 3rd- Besides the regu­ lar members present, there were 26 probationers. After the business meeting adjourned, tea and cake were served in the Alumnae room, where the girls met the Mother Superior. In the evening there was a special service of admission of the society. Those admitted were Helena Hughes, Maude Carlisle, Isa­ bella Hughes, Clara Boot and Flora Davis. ; ■ ! i •! 1 I �18 1HE SPINSTER The Mother Superior of the Community of St. John the Baptist spent three weeks at the Hall, April 2nd to May nth, and saw some­ thing of our school life, visiting different classes and being present at a Musical, a Basket Ball Match and an Admission to the Society of the Royal Banner. On Saturday, May 12th, the girls of the Delta Phi Sigma Society went for a trip on the Charles Spencer up the Columbia river. Every minute of the day was enjoyed by the girls, who spent their time singing school and society songs, telling stories and giving their cheers accompanied by much blowing of horns and flying of colours. In their honor a S. H. H. pennant floated all day on the boats flag pole. And in the dining room their table was loaded with good things, and decorated with flowers and society colours. The girls of the sorority have planned many other things of amusement for the near future, a theatre party, auto ride, etc. , On Thursday evening the Sister Superior entertained the entire senior class at dinner. The table was very prettily decorated in class colors—red and white. Jack roses, the class flower, made a very charming centre piece. The menu was one which could not have been added to and needless to say, the girls did it justice. On Thursday evening of the iotli, a buzz was heard on the drive and an auto whizzed up to the door much to the disturbance of the peaceful study hour, for every one rushed to the window to see who is coming. It was no arrival, it was just the seniors going off for one of their good times, and they certainly had it. Miss Parker came up to the Hall Thursday afternoon to umpire the very exciting game of basket ball played between the Evens and the Odds. ;1 11 \ 1 1 1 �THE SPINSTER '9 On Saturday, May 19, from 2 to 9 o’clock p. m. a sale was held at the hall for the benefit of the Building Fund. About $130 was cleared. The booths and decorations were taken charge of by the various classes. The girls did their classes great credit by the artistic carrying out of class colours in the decorations of their booths. A great variety of things were sold, fancy articles, dolls, flowers, pict­ ures, and all sorts of refreshments. On Tuesday of Easter week the hall girls went for a picnic to MacCleay Park. Miss Clarke has taken out several sketching parties this term. Miss Disbrow, of New, York is a visitor at the Hall. A recital was given by the music pupils on May 10th, 1906.

This is the last issue of the Spinster under the present editors, and the last time they will officially praise, commend and criticize. We hope those who come after will benefit by our experience, If we have V �THE SPINSTER 23 been unjust to any, we hope they will make reparation; if we have given faulty criticism, we trust they will be true and unbiased in opinion.

The Weekly Chemawa American, a regular visitor throughout the year, shows good school spirit and interest in school work. The High School Item from Pasadena High School, California, is a neat little periodical. It is printed on good paper, has suitable cuts and contains interesting material. “Die Deutsche Ecke” in the Capitoline is an enterprising departure from the ordinary contents of exchanges. The Easter issue of Irving Echoes, Irving Institutes, San Fran­ cisco, edited by the Seniors, was the first one the Spinster has had the pleasure of reading. She thought the contents carefully compiled, and the general appearance of the whole paper very attractive, and regrets she did not make its acquaintance earlier in the year. We always enjoy the interesting stories in the Harvard Monthly. Two neat issues of the Quill have been received. We thought the poem entitled “Be Square” was excellent both in style and senti­ ment. The Register, Boston, Latin School, in the April issue still maintains its standard of good stories and sensible articles, though we can’t help but deplore the absence of an exchange column. ; : �24 THE SPINSTER Deceit, I loath, I always try To seem just what I am; I hate to hear the potash lye, Or see the pillow sham.—Ex.

This is the last issue of the Spinster for which the senior class is responsible, so naturally our thoughts stray back over the school year so nearly ended. It has been a happy year to which in coming years we will look back with happy recollections. It will be hard to xeavc Portland, particularly at this time when the school is most beutiful with the roses and first beauties of summer. The Spinster work has been pleasant but hard, hard, because it has not had sufficient co-operation from the school, There has been this year a great awaking in school spirit, but it seems to, however, been limited to basket ball, Next year let the Spinster get some it, so that the editor won’t have to run up and down the halls begging for material. 1 �GO TO Goffman’s Sealy, Mason & Co.

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

Letters addressed to others than those on the list will be forwarded unopened to parents or guardians. It is desired that pupils shall not fall into extravagant habits, nor spend money needlessly; that their dress should be inexpensive and their pocket money limited. No bills will be paid for the pupils, nor money advanced to them unless a deposit has been made for that purpose. A monthly allowance is recommended as tending to give a young girl a proper sense of the value of money and of responsibility in the use of it. The Principal will cheerfully act as banker in such cases. During the term no pupil will be allowed to pass a night in town out of the school building, except with her parents. Pupils may not visit anywhere without the written consent of par­ ents or guardian. Pupils may receive their friends on Wednesday evenings and on Saturday afternoons, Those who are strangers to the Principal must bring a letter of introduction from parent or guardian. Receiving or paying visits on Sunday is not allowed, under any circumstances, except with parents. The pupils will be allowed to visit, on the last Saturday of the month, those friends in the city whom the parents may des.gnate; provided those friends accompany them to and from the school, ant the conduct of the children has been so satisfactory that they are en­ titled to this privilege. Pupils residing in Portland, or m its .mmedtate vicinity, will be allowed, on those occasions, to spend Saturday Other pupils will not be expected to go home and Sunday at home. during the term.

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

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

The “upper room’’ now set apart for this purpose is inadequate in itself and will be much needed in the near future for an intermediate and preparatory schoolroom. Scientific apparatus. The enumeration under the head of equipment is, to the initiated, a mute statement of the needs of the Scientific department. These are many, but some are more urgent than others. The absence of all appliances for demonstrating the properties of light, and of many of those for demonstrating the properties of electricity, acts as a discour­ agement to the practical study of these subjects.

Pfahler. John Kollock, Secretary �AINT HELEN’S HALL was estab­ lished by the Rt. Rev. B. Wistar Morris, D. D., and opened September, 1869, with Miss Mary B. Rodney as Principal. The ground upon which the school was first built was secured through the liberality of Mr. John D. Wolfe and his daughter, Miss Catherine Wolfe, of New York City, whose large hearted generosity should ever be remembered in recalling the early history of this institution. The school continued its work in the original building on Fourth Street, between Madison and Jefferson, until the year 1890, when the property was sold to the City of Portland, for the use of the City Hall. On the 9th of June of that year, the corner stone of the present large and commodious building was laid, and on the 24th of February, 1891, the school was moved to its new home. Miss Mary Rodney died April 15th, 1896, and the work was carried on by her sisters the Misses Rodney until the close of the school year. At the opening of the next year, Miss Eleanor Tebbetts, Ph. D., became principal and re­ mained in that office till the end of June, 1904. By request of the Board of Trustees, the Sisters of St. John Baptist (founded at Clewer, England, in 1851, and affiliated in this country in 1881) then undertook the charge of the school and trust that God will continue to bless their endeavors for its prosperity and increased usefulness. £ �©fftrpra anb dhiatructora 1811-1912 * The Right Reverend Charles Scaddino, D.

This means not only the cultivation of the intellect and the acquire­ ment of graceful womanly accomplishments but also such moral and religious training as shall help the pupils to be­ come pure, true women, with a high positive standard of Christian living. No school could have a more beautiful location. The building, a handsome brick structure, is on a height over­ looking the city, and surrounded by lines of soft blue hills broken by the snowy peaks of Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens and the distant white crest of the Cascades. It is thorough­ ly heated by hot water circulation, and well ventilated. Tfyere are two stairways from the third floor, and fire es­ capes. The Chief of the Portland Fire Department has the supervision of all the provisions for safety in case of fire, and inspects the fire escapes from time to time. The plumbing is under the care of one of the best sanitary plumbers in the city. The interior administration of the school has been en­ trusted to the Sisters of St. John Baptist, who have the general superintendence of every department. In secular studies they are assisted by a staff of effiicent instructors, either college graduates or especially trained for their work. A daily record is kept of the attendance, scholarship and deportment of every pupil, and a report of the same is mailed to parents quarterly. �I i ■ 8 M j : H ‘ ST. HELEN’S HALL Pupils failing, after a fair trial, to attain the required standard of scholarship or deportment, will not be retained in the school. The Sister Superior will always be glad to receive visits from the parents of pupils; her regular reception hours are 2 to 4 p. m. on all school days, also 5 to 8 p. m. on Mon­ days. The school consists of three departments— £lrmrntary, Arabnnir aub GJullrgmtr; and the special departments of Music, Art and Elocution. The Elrmrntary Drpartmrnt is divided into seven class­ es covering in English and Arithmetic the same ground as the Elementary public school but including a broader range of subjects. The Arabrmir department covers five years and is divided into two courses, the College Preparatory Course and the General Course. The College Preparatory Course is so arranged as to meet the requirements of the leading Eastern colleges without undue pressure. The General Course is intended for pupils desiring to lay the foundation of a broad general education, and meets the requirements of those universities and colleges which do not require four years’ preparatory work in Latin. In it the time, which in the College Preparatory Course is neces­ sarily spent in Latin, is devoted to Literature, History and Modern Languages. Much of the work is common to both courses, and the standard of thoroughness is the same. The certificate of St. Helen’s Hall is accepted instead of entrance examinations at Wellesley and Vassar Col­ leges, also at the State Universities of Oregon and Wash­ ington. Music, Art and Elocution count as regular elective studies in the General Course. Either Course satisfactorily completed entitles a pupil to the diploma of the school. 'i t �ST. HELEN'S HALL 9 In both courses twenty credits are required for gradu­ ation, each credit representing a year’s work of five recita­ tions a week. Twenty recitations a week are required of all pupils not studying Music or Art, fifteen recitations a week arc required of Music and Art pupils. Slip (EuUcgiatr $)?partm?nt. St. Helen's Hall offers two years’ advanced work in Languages, Mathematics, History and Literature, equiva­ lent to the work of the first two years in college. At the completion of a two years’ course of collegiate work, amounting to nine credits, a certificate will be given. EtUjliBtf. ■ ! - The aim in this course is to give pupils thorough in­ struction in English Grammar and Rhetoric, to enable them to write with ease and accuracy, and to teach them to appreciate what is best in English Literature, From the lowest class the reading matter is carefully selected, and in the third year of the Academic Course a brief history of English Literature is studied. After this the work consists chiefly in the writing of compositions and the criti­ cal study of English masterpieces, especially those required for College entrance examinations. Especial effort is made to form a taste for good literature, and courses of reading are planned for the summer vacation. 3tonrl) anil (fforntan. In these courses the aim is to enable the pupil to read the languages at sight and speak and write them easily. In order to acquire a good pronunciation the study of French should be begun in the Elementary Department, the lessons at first being in the form of conversation and easy �I ] 1/ :j . io 1 ST. HELEN'S HALL reading. Afterward grammar and translation are begun. In the last year of the Course, French composition, History and Literature are studied, and French is the language of the class room. I . i ■ ;!i *3 German may be begun in the first or second year of the Academic Course and carried to the point required for admission to college or beyond it as may be desired. At­ tention is paid to pronunciation, conversation and sight reading, as well as to grammar and translation. In the case of resident pupils the French table offers additional op­ portunities for conversation. The German Choral class meets the first Thursday in each month. Folk songs are sung, and the advanced German pupils tell the story of the songs. The German Literature Club meets once in each month for the study and discussion of great masterpieces. Satin tmb (Smk i ! i. i • ' i M “Latin and Greek are not regarded as dead languages except in the sense that all language of books not in our era is dead. They are living in the sense that the English of Chaucer and the Italian of Dante are alive, dead only to those to whom for lack of knowledge they are sealed books.” (Cambridge School Manual.) A five years’ course of Latin is provided, including beside the usual college requirements of Caesar (four books), Cicero (six orations), Vergil (six books), and Prose com­ positions, selections from Sallust and Ovid and much sight reading. By beginning Latin early in the course the sense of hurry and strain is avoided and there is time enough to make the study interesting and delightful as all true intel­ lectual work ought to be. ' * �ST. HELEN'S HALL II The course in Greek covers three years; the previous work in Latin having prepared the pupil for its intelligent study. The first year is given to grammar and exercises, the second to Xenophon, the third to Homer. It is desir­ able though not essential, that pupils preparing for college should elect Greek as their third language. Sjifitory The study of History is begun in the Elementary De­ partment and continued to the end of the school course. In the College Preparatory Course it is necessarily limited to college requirements, which, however, are constantly in­ creasing both as to quantity and quality. In the General Course three courses of History are provided. The topical method is approved, collateral reading is encouraged. Maps are drawn, and historical geography is held to be an important part of the work. History and English are in­ timately associated; pupils being required to commit to memory historical poems, and to write compositions on sub­ jects drawn from historical lessons. The school is fortunate in possessing a fairly good though small library of history and literature bearing upon it. DHatljmatirfi “In teaching mathematics the aim is to develop the spirit of enquiry, the habit of accuracy in reasoning, and the love of truth.” (Cambridge School Manual.) The prescribed course comprises Arithmetic, Algebra, Plane and Solid Geometry. Throughout the course original work is encouraged, and set rules are avoided. The pupils are encouraged to rely as little as possible upon text books. �I i 1 12 i ST. HELEN’S HALL &rirnrr i 1 , This department is conducted in accordance with the best scientific methods. Natural History is taught in connection with Geography in the Elementary De­ partment. In the Academic Department the subjects are taken up as indicated in the course of study. Lab­ oratory work is required of all students of Chemistry and Physics, and the use of the microscope of all students of Botany and Physiology. It is considered that one or two sciences each thoroughly studied for not less than one year will do more for the pupil’s intellectual develop­ ment than a large amount of superficial work. •pijyfliral (Hulturr St. Helen’s Hall has a large gymnasium, and a trained teacher is in charge of the gymnasium work. In the Elementary Department there are easy drills several times in the week. In the Academic department each class has two morning periods a week for light work such as marching, club swinging, folk dances, etc., and every pu­ pil is required to be in one afternoon class for either aes­ thetic dancing, apparatus work or games. An exhibition to which the parents and other friends are invited, is held every spring, at the conclusion of the year’s work. SrltQuuta SttBtrurlum 1 All pupils receive instruction in Holy Scripture, Church Catechism and the History of the Church, and attend the daily services in the Chapel of the School. Resident pupils attend service on Sunday morning in one of the city churches. Serial Stuitenta Special students in Music, Art or Elocution may be re­ ceived as resident, when there is room for them, but the preference will be given to pupils in the regular course. No one will be received as a special student without having first completed a high school course of study or its equiva­ lent. The terms for special students are the same as for regular students. 3 �= ST. HELEN’S HALL 13 (SmtrHp nf ^tuhij fclcmrntanj Scyartmrnt FIRST YEAR. English.

While a seven years’ course of study Is provided, there may be special cases in which a child may accomplish the required work in six years. On the other hand, it may more frequently occur that a slow or delicate child will need eight or nine years to cover the same ground, In every case the course must be fitted to the pupil, not the pupil to the course. No pupil may be promoted to the Academic Department without thoroughly accom­ plishing the required elementary work. r< �I Arabrmir Srpartmrnt College Preparatory Course. General Course. FIRST YEAR.

The Piano Department awards a diploma at the satis­ factory completion of the regular course as here given. Before graduation the pupil is required to give from memory one complete recital, including a concerto, and other works demanding skillful execution. The technical work of the Piano Department is drawn from the following, and kindred sources: Duvernoy, Heller, Czerny, ITutcheson . Leschetiszky, Lecouppey, Bertine, Kohler and others.

HELEN'S HALL Pieces arc selected according to the varying needs of the pupils from the great mass of old and new piano lit­ erature. An important feature of the work is the training in ensemble playing, duos, trios and quartets for one and two pianos being studied. Portland offers many opportunities for hearing the best music; during the past year the pupils have attended con­ certs by Eames, Schumann-Heink, Pachmann, Gogorza and others. Before each concert the programme is carefully explained to the pupils, that they may listen with intelli­ gence. Uoral Bepartmnit The aim of the vocal department is the development of the voice by a pure and natural method of tone production. All studies are selected according to the individual needs of the pupil, and songs are taken from the old composers and the best modern music. A diploma will be given at the satisfactory completion of the following course: First Grade—Simple Theory. Castelli’s Vocalizes, Book I. Studies in tone production and technique. First grade songs. Second GRADE-History of Music. Castelli’s Vocalizes. Book II. Studies in technique and tone phrasing. Moderately Difficult songs. Third Grade—Musical Biography. Advanced Vocalizes and technique, with the easier Arias from Oratorio and Opera. All voice pupils will be required to attend the Choral Classes, in which they receive instruction in class singing and sight reading, unless excused by the head of the depart­ ment. Before graduation a pupil must be able to conduct a simple chorus, and give one entire song recital. Pupils desiring to receive Diplomas in the Music Department must complete a course of study in the Academic Department amounting to io credits in History, English and Modem Languages. �• �STUDY HALL DINING HALL �ST. HELEN’S HALL 21 Elnrutimi ani Bair? Culture The aim of the instruction in this department is to grasp and express the thoughts of great minds. Especial attention is paid to the use of the speaking voice and to reading aloud. Recitation and the use of gesture are also taught and exercises in correct breathing and physical cul­ ture given. A certificate will be given at the close of a satisfactory course of two or more years. Art Art instruction embraces pencil, crayon, charcoal, sepia and India ink, and painting in oil and water colors. The studio is well supplied with casts and still life, and affords every advantage for the serious study of drawing and painting. Work in the Studio for one period weekly is required of all pupils in the Elementary Department. In the Aca­ demic Department the Art Courses are elective, and so arranged as to meet the needs of students who have much or little time. They include problems in theory and prac­ tice of design, representation and composition. The Art History Courses aim to make the pupil famil­ iar with the art of the past, to cultivate a feeling for beauty and develop a power of discrimination that will lead to a keener appreciation and enjoyment of that which is truly great in Art. fcleumttaru Bejiartment FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD YEARS.

HELEN'S HALL The home life of St. Helen’s Hall is that of a well regulated household, in which the general tone is wholesome and happy. A Sister, assisted by the resident nurse, has the care of the pupils’ health. Especial attention is paid to manners and bearing, and exercises in the Gymnasium form part of the daily routine. Each girl is required to obtain from her family physician a certificate of physical fitness before taking part in any game (such as basket ball), requiring violent exercise. A riding school near by fur­ nishes horses and groom at a moderate charge for small riding parties. The resident teachers co-operate with the Sisters to make home life attractive and helpful. One eve­ ning in each fortnight is given to lectures, musicales and social gatherings in the reception room. Dancing, indoor games and all girlish amusements are encouraged. A short list of correspondents and visitors is required signed by parent or guardian. Letters addressed to others than those on the list will be forwarded unopened to parents or guardians. No bills will be paid for pupils nor money advanced to them unless a deposit has been made for that purpose and pupils are not allowed to have running accounts at any store in the city. A monthly allowance is recommended as tending to give a young girl a proper sense of the value of money and responsibility in the use of it. During the term no pupil will be allowed to pass a night in town out of the school building except with her parents or near relatives. Pupils may not visit anywhere without the written consent of parents or guardians. They may �ST. HELEN’S HALL 25 receive their friends on Saturday afternoons. Visitors will not be admitted on Sunday except parents and members of the immediate family. Strangers must bring a letter of introduction from parents or guardian. Visitors may not ascend the stairs without permission. The pupils will be allowed to visit on Saturday those friends in the city whom the parents may designate, pro­ vided those friends accompany them to and from the school, and the conduct of the pupil has been so satisfactory that they are entitled to the privilege. Pupils residing in Port­ land or its immediate vicinity will be allowed once in each month to spend Saturday and Sunday at home. Magazines and telegrams will not be delivered unless approved. Newspapers are not allowed. It is requested that no books be brought into the school. All textbooks are provided, and there is sufficient reading matter in the School Library. Family photographs and a few framed pictures are allowed in the pupils’ rooms, but not posters or advertise­ ments. It is desired that all bedroom decorations be simple hygienic. Pupils are expected to dress neatly and simply. A plain skirt with blouse waist for school, a cloth suit for Sunday and street wear, an afternoon dress of some light woolen or mixed material and a white muslin dress (highnecked and long sleeved) for musicals will meet all require­ ments. Neither dresses nor waists of laundered goods are allowed from November 1 to April 1, nor dresses of wash material for the school room at any time. High shoes with low heels are required for outdoor wear. Expensive jew­ elry is not allowed. All gowns must be high-necked. Elbow sleeves are allowed on evening gowns only. All members �26 ST. HELEN’S HALL of the school dress for dinner. It is requested that all dress­ making and dentistry be attended to at home. *fc Pupils are not allowed to make dressmaking or shop­ ping visits in town or visits to the dentist without a c’naperone. A charge of fifty cents an hour will be made for chaperonage. Requests from parents and all business communications should be sent directly to the Sister Superior and not through the pupil. The number of resident pupils is limited to fifty. The intention is to have the school family consist of earnest girls who will cheerfully adapt themselves to such regula­ tions as are found necessary. No pupil who shows herself impatient of control, or whose general tone and influence is harmful, can be permitted to remain in the Hall. 'C ? . 1 �SENIORS ROOM AND LIBRARY ENTRANCE HALL ��I I ST.

A reduction of ten per cent on board and ordinary tuition is allowed for two sisters, or fifteen for three and twenty-five for four. Interest will be charged upon all bills for board and tuition remaining unpaid at the end of the term. Accounts are subject to draft if not paid in rea­ sonable time after they are rendered, All bills must be settled before May 20, as the year’s accounts are closed May 31. When desired pupils may remain at the school during Christmas and Easter vacations and for that time will be charged at the rate of six dollars a week.

D., and opened September, 1869, with Miss Mary B. Rodney as Principal. The ground upon which the school was first built was secured through the liberality of Mr. John D. Wolfe and his daughter, Miss Cathcrine Wolfe, of New York City, whose large hearted generosity should ever be remembered in recalling the early history of this institution. The school continued its work in the original building on Fourth Street, between Madison and Jefferson, until the year 1890, when the property was sold to the City of Portland, for the use of the City Hall. On the 9th of June of that year, the corner stone of the present large and commodious building was laid, and on the 24th of February, 1891, the school was moved to its new home. Miss Mary Rodney died April 15th, 1896, and the work was carried on by her sisters the Misses Rodney until the close of the school year. At the opening of the next year, Miss Eleanor Tebbetts, Ph. D., became principal and re­ mained in that office till the end of June, 1904. By request of the Board of Trustees, the Sisters of St. John Baptist (founded at Clewer, England, in 1851, and affiliated in this country in 1881) then undertook the charge of the school and trust that God will continue to bless their endeavors for its prosperity and increased usefulness. �; ■ \\ GDffirers mb HmtruttavB 1013-1914 * i The Right Reverend Charles Scaddino, D.

This means not only the cultivation of the intellect and the acquire­ ment of graceful womanly accomplishments but also such moral and religious training as shall help the pupils to be­ come pure, true women, with a high positive standard of Christian living. No school could have a more beautiful location. The building, a handsome brick structure, is on a height over­ looking the city, and surrounded by lines of soft blue hills broken by the snowy peaks of Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens and the distant white crest of the Cascades. It is thorough­ ly heated by hot water circulation, and well ventilated. There are two stairways from the third floor, and fire es­ capes. The Chief of the Portland Fire Department has the supervision of all the provisions for safety in case of fire, and inspects the fire escapes from time to time. The plumbing is under the care of one of the best sanitary plumbers in the city. The interior administration of the school has been en­ trusted to the Sisters of St. John Baptist, who have the general superintendence of every department. In secular studies they are assisted by a staff of efficient instructors, either college graduates or especially trained for their work. A daily record is kept of the attendance, scholarship and deportment of every pupil, and a report of the same is mailed to parents quarterly. �I 8 ST. HELEN'S HALL Pupils failing, after a fair trial, to attain the required standard of scholarship or deportment, will not be retained in the school. The Sister Superior will always be glad to receive visits from the parents of pupils. '* : ? The school consists of three departments—Elrmrntary. Arahrmir mtb (Sullrijtatc; and the special departments of Music, Art and Elocution. The £lrmrutanj Srpurtinrut is divided into seven class­ es covering in English and Arithmetic the same ground as the Elementary public school but including a broader range of subjects. The Araformir department covers five years and is divided into two courses, the College Preparatory Course and the General Course. The College Preparatory Course is so arranged as to meet the requirements of the leading Eastern colleges without undue pressure. The General Course is intended for pupils desiring to lay the foundation of a broad general education, and meets the requirements of those universities and colleges which do not require four years’ preparatory work in Latin. In it the time, which in the College Preparatory Course is neces­ sarily spent in Latin, is devoted to Literature, History and Modern Languages. Much of the work is common to both courses, and the standard of thoroughness is the same. The certificate of St. Helen’s Hall is accepted instead of entrance examinations at Wellesley and Vassar Col­ leges, also at the State Universities of Oregon and Wash­ ington. Music, Art and Elocution count as regular elective studies in the General Course. Either Course satisfactorily completed entitles a pupil to the diploma of the school. v* » : I k: \ ■ �ST. HELEN'S HALL 9 In both courses twenty credits are required for gradu­ ation, each credit representing a year’s work of five recita­ tions a week. Twenty recitations a week are required of all pupils not studying Music or Art, fifteen recitations a week are required of Music and Art pupils. (Eullrgiate Srjiartnmit. St. Helen’s Hall offers two years’ advanced work in languages, Mathematics, History and Literature, equiva­ lent to the work of the first two years in college. At the completion of a two years’ course of collegiate work, amounting to nine credits, a certificate will be given. Jaujliaf). The aim in this course is to give pupils thorough in­ struction in English Grammar and Rhetoric, to enable them to write with ease and accuracy, and to teach them to appreciate what is best in English Literature. From the lowest class the reading matter is carefully selected, and in the third year of the Academic Course a brief history of English Literature is studied. After this the work consists chiefly in the writing of compositions and the criti­ cal study of English masterpieces, especially those required for College entrance examinations. Especial effort is made to form a taste for good literature, and courses of reading are planned for the summer vacation. 3Fmufj attb ffertnan. In these courses the aim is to enable the pupil to read the languages at sight and speak and write them easily. In order to acquire a good pronunciation the study of French should be begun in the Elementary Department, the lessons at first being in the form of conversation and easy �io ST. HELEN'S HALL reading. Afterward grammar and translation are begun. In the last year of the Course, French composition, History and Literature are studied, and French is the language of the class room. In the case of resident pupils the French talks offer additional opportunities for conversation. : I ! German may be begun in the first or second year of the Academic Course and carried to the point required for admission to college or beyond it as may be desired, Attention is paid to pronunciation, conversation and sight reading, as well as to grammar and translation, and German songs and plays are studied. Satin anil fimk "Latin and Greek are not regarded as dead languages except in the sense that all language of books not in our era is dead. They are living in the sense that the English of Chaucer and the Italian of Dante are alive, dead only to those to whom for lack of knowledge they are sealed books.’' (Cambridge School Manual.) v A five years’ course of Latin is provided, including beside the usual college requirements of Caesar, Cicero, Virgil, Ovid and prose composition, a fifth year for Sallust and sight-reading. By beginning Latin early in the course the sense of hurry and strain is avoided and there is time enough to make the study interesting and delightful as all true intellectual work ought to be. i The course in Greek covers three years; the previous work in Latin having prepared the pupil for its intelligent The first year is given to grammar and exercises, study. the second to Xenophon, the third to Homer. It is desir­ able though not essential, that pupils preparing for college should elect Greek as their third language. ! 1 ’ �ST. HELEN’S HALL I I Sjuitnrxj The study of History is begun in the Elementary De­ partment and continued to the end of the school course. In the College Preparatory Course it is necessarily limited to college requirements, which, however, are constantly in­ creasing both as to quantity and quality. In the General Course three courses of History are provided. The topical method is approved, collateral reading is encouraged. Maps are drawn, and historical geography is held to be an important part of the work. History and English are in­ timately associated; pupils being required to commit to memory historical poems, and to write compositions on sub­ jects drawn from historical lessons. The school is fortunate in possessing a fairly good though small library of history and literature bearing upon it. iHatijnnatirfl “In teaching mathematics the aim is to develop the spirit of enquiry, the habit of accuracy in reasoning, and the love of truth.” (Cambridge School Manual.) The prescribed course comprises Arithmetic, Algebra, Plane and Solid Geometry. Throughout the course original work is encouraged, and set rules are avoided. The pupils are encouraged to rely as little as possible upon text books. Srurnr? This department is conducted in accordance with the best scientific methods. Natural History is taught in connection with Geography in the Elementary De­ partment. In the Academic Department the subjects are taken up as indicated in the course of study. Lab­ oratory work is required of all students of Chemistry and Physics, and the use of the microscope of all �m : i 12 h; »j ( ii I ST. HELEN'S HALL students of Botany and Physiology. It is considered that one or two sciences each thoroughly studied for not less than one year will do more for .the pupil’s intellectual develop­ ment than a large amount of superficial work. In 1913-14 a course in Domestic Science including Hygiene, Household Sanitation and Chemistry of Foods will be offered. ■(Pljyfliral (Culture i St. Helen’s Hall has a large gymnasium, and a trained teacher is in charge of the gymnasium work. In the Elementary Department there are easy drills several times in the week. In the Academic department each class has two morning periods a week for light work such as marching, club swinging, folk dances, etc., and every pu­ pil is required to be in one afternoon class for either aes­ thetic dancing or games. An exhibition to which the par­ ents and other friends are invited, is held every spring, at the conclusion of the year’s work. : Srltyimte dluHtrudtmt All pupils receive instruction in Holy Scripture, Church Catechism and the History of the Church, and attend the daily services in the Chapel of the School. Resident pupils attend service on Sunday morning in one of the city churches. In 1913-14 a special advanced course in preparation for Church work will be offered. i §p?rial fttuitents Special students in Music, Art or Elocution may be re­ ceived as resident, when there is room for them, but the preference will be given to pupils in the regular course. No one will be received as a special student without having first completed a high school course of study or its equiva­ lent. The terms for special students are the same as for regular students. : ' �ST. HELEN’S HALL 13 (Emirs? nf Iclnurutary Bryartmcut FIRST YEAR. English.

On the other hand, it may more frequently occur that a slow or delicate child will need eight or nine years to cover the same ground, In evqry case the course must be fitted to the pupil, not the pupil to the course. No pupil may be promoted to the Academic Department without thoroughly accomplishing the required elementary work. 1 -j - �I ’ Arabrmir Department College Preparatory Course. General Course.

Each girl is required to obtain from her family physician a certificate of physical fitness before taking part in any game (such as basket ball), requiring violent exercise. A riding school near by fur­ nishes horses and groom at a moderate charge for small riding parties. The resident teachers co-operate with the Sisters to make home life attractive and helpful. One eve­ ning in each fortnight is given to lectures, musicales and social gatherings in the reception room. Dancing, indoor games and all girlish amusements are encouraged. A short list of correspondents and visitors is required signed by parent or guardian. Letters addressed to others than those on the list will be forwarded unopened to parents or guardians. i. No bills will be paid for pupils nor money advanced to them unless, a deposit has been made for that purpose and pupils are not allowed to have running accounts at any store in the city. A monthly allowance is recommended as tending to give a young girl a proper sense of the value of money and responsibility in the use of it. ' i During the term no pupil will be allowed to pass a night in town out of the school building except with her parents or near relatives.

The ground upon which the school was first built was secured through the liberality of Mr. John D. Wolfe and his daughter, Miss Catherine Wolfe, of New York City, whose large hearted generosity should ever be remembered in recalling the early history of this institution. The school continued its work in the original building on Fourth Street, between Madison and Jefferson, until the year 1890, when the property was sold to the City of Portland, for the use of the City Hall. On the 9th of June of that year, the corner stone of the present large and commodious building was laid, and on the 24th of February, 1891, the school was moved to its new home. I Miss Mary Rodney died April 15th, 1896, and the work was carried on by her sisters the Misses Rodney until the close of the school year. At the opening of the next year, Miss Eleanor Tebbetts, Ph. D., became principal and re­ mained in that office till the end of June, 1904. By request of the Board of Trustees, the Sisters of St John Baptist (founded at Clewer. England, in 1851, and affiliated in this country in 1881) then undertook the charge of the school and trust that God will continue to bless their endeavors for its prosperity and increased usefulness. : �QDfftrcra mh Sttstrurtnre 1913-1914 * The Rioht Reverend Charles Scadding, D.

HELEN’S HALL 11 history The study of History is begun in the Elementary De­ partment and continued to the end of the school course. In the College Preparatory Course it is necessarily limited to college requirements, which, however, are constantly in­ creasing both as to quantity and quality. In the General Course three courses of History are provided. The topical method is approved, collateral reading is encouraged. Maps are drawn, and historical geography is held to be an important part of the work. History and English are in­ timately associated; pupils being required to commit to memory historical poems, and to write compositions on sub­ jects drawn from historical lessons. The school is fortunate in possessing a fairly good though small library of history and literature bearing upon it. iflatljrmatirii “In teaching mathematics the aim is to develop the spirit of enquiry, the habit of accuracy in reasoning, and the love of truth.” (Cambridge School Manual.) The prescribed course comprises Arithmetic, Algebra, Plane and Solid Geometry. Throughout the course original work is encouraged, and set rules are avoided. The pupils are encouraged to rely as little as possible upon text books. Srattrc This department is conducted in accordance with the best scientific methods. Natural History is taught in connection with Geography in the Elementary DeIn the Academic Department the subjects partment. are taken up as indicated in the course of study. Lab­ oratory work is required of all students of Chemistry and Physics, and the use of the microscope of all �ill: ! 12 ST. HELEN'S HALL students of Botany and Physiology. It is considered that one or two sciences each thoroughly studied for not less than one year will do more for the pupil’s intellectual develop­ ment than a large amount of superficial work. A course in Domestic Science including Hygiene. Household Sanitation and Chemistry of Foods is offered. iJljystral (Guiturr St. Helen’s Hall has a large gymnasium, and a trained teacher is in charge of the gymnasium work. In the Elementary Department there are easy drills several times in the week. In the Academic department each class has two morning periods a week for light work such as marching, club swinging, folk dances, etc., and every pu­ pil is required to be in one afternoon class for either aes­ thetic dancing or games. An exhibition to which the par­ ents and other friends arc invited, is held every spring, at the conclusion of the year’s work. |i It! ; ffirliytmto Snstrurtinn All pupils receive instruction in Holy Scripture, Church Catechism and the History of the Church, and attend the daily services in the Chapel of the School. Resident pupils attend service on Sunday morning in one of the city churches. A special advanced course in preparation for Church work is offered. \\ imperial &tutonte Special students in Music, Art or Elocution may be re­ ceived as resident, when there is room for them, but the preference will be given to pupils in the regular course. No one will be received as a special student without having first completed a high school course of study or its equiva­ lent. The terms for special students are the same as for regular students. .

While a seven years’ course of study is provided, there may be special cases in which a child may accomplish the required work in six years, On the other hand, It may more frequently occur that a slow or delicate child will need eight or nine years to cover the same ground, In every case the course must be fitted to the pupil, not the pupil to the course. No pupil may be promoted to the Academic Department without thoroughly accom­ plishing the required elementary work. �Araiinntr Iriunimrui College Preparatory Course. General Course. FIRST YEAR.

HELEN’S HALL 25 ©Ijp Hjomp The home life of St. Helen’s Hall is that of a well regulated household, in which the general tone is wholesome and happy. A Sister, assisted by the resident nurse, has the care of the pupils’ health. Especial attention is paid to manners and bearing, and exercises in the Gymnasium form part of the daily routine. Each girl is required to obtain from her family physician a certificate of physical fitness before taking part in any game (such as basket ball), requiring violent exercise. A riding school near by fur­ nishes horses and groom at a moderate charge for small riding parties. The resident teachers co-operate with the Sisters to make home life attractive and helpful. One eve­ ning in each fortnight is given to lectures, musicales and social gatherings in the reception room. Dancing, indoor games and all girlish amusements are encouraged. A short list of correspondents and visitors is required signed by parent or guardian. Letters addressed to others than those on the list will be forwarded unopened to parents or guardians. No bills will be paid for pupils nor money advanced to them unless a deposit has been made for that purpose and pupils are not allowed to have running accounts at any store in the city. ! t A monthly allowance is recommended as tending to give a young girl a proper sense of the value of money and responsibility in the use of it. During the term no pupil will be allowed to pass a night in town out of the school building except with her parents or near relatives. Pupils may not visit anywhere without the written consent of parents or guardians. They may �' p 26 ST. HELEN’S HALL 1 j>;,! I: j a I 1S ■ ' receive their friends on Saturday afternoons. Visitors will not be admitted on Sunday except parents and members of the immediate family. Strangers must bring a letter of introduction from parents or guardian. Visitors may not ascend the stairs without permission. The pupils will be allowed to visit on Saturday those friends in the city whom the parents may designate, pro­ vided those friends accompany them to and from the school, and the conduct of the pupil has been so satisfactory that they are entitled to the privilege. Pupils residing in Port­ land or its immediate vicinity will be allowed once in each month to spend Saturday and Sunday at home. Magazines and telegrams will not be delivered unless approved. Newspapers are not allowed. It is requested that no books be brought into the school. All textbooks are provided, and there is sufficient reading matter in the School Library. Family photographs and a few framed pictures are allowed in the pupils’ rooms, but not posters or advertise­ ments. It is desired that all bedroom decorations be simple hygienic. Pupils are expected to dress neatly and simply.

The ground A upon which the school was first ,\r h_0 built was secured through the lib­ erality of Mr. John D. Wolfe and his daughter, Miss Catherine Wolfe, of New York City, whose large-hearted gener­ osity should ever be remembered in recalling the early history of this institution. The school continued its work in the original building on Fourth Street, between Madison and Jefferson, until the year 1890, when the property was sold to the City of Portland, for the use of the City Hall. On the 9th of June of that year, the corner stone of the large and commodious building at Park and Sinclair Streets was laid, and on the 24th of February, 1891, the school was moved to its new home. §> Miss Mary Rodney died April 15th. 1896. and the work was carried on by her sisters, the Misses Rodney. until the close of the school year. At the ®Pe"in® D„ becanu the next year, Miss Eleanor Tebbetts, Ph. till the end that office the principal and remained in Board of of June, 1904, when, by the request of the Trustee;, the Sisters of St. John Baptist (founded a. �4 ST. HELEN’S HALL Clewer, England, in 185/, and affiliated in this country in 1881), undertook the charge of the school. . The work has been steadily carried on since that time, meeting, as all believe, a very real need in the Diocese, and blessed with increased usefulness. The school building was destroyed by fire on Sep­ tember 3, 1914. The Gymnasium, near the Iiall, was immediately fitted up for temporary use, where the work has, since that date, been carried on. By the kindness of the Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese, the house at 574 Elm street was offered to the school, where a limited number of resident pupils was received during the year 1914-1915. Until the completion of the new school buildings the well-known house, for so many years the home of Bishop Morris, on the corner of Everett and 20th Streets, with the house adjoining it, will be occupied as houses of residence, where the number of boarding pu­ pils, limited to twenty, will be received. The situation is pleasant, each house having a garden and piazzas, and the location is central, convenient and within ten minutes’ walk of the school. V Owing to existing conditions, one hundred day pupils only can be received in the present school build­ ing. aim of, St., Helen’s Holl is to provide for girls . The , the best possible facilities for complete education This means not only the cultivation of the intellect and the acquirement of graceful, womanly accomplishments, but also such moral and religious training as shall help the pupils to become pure, true women, with a high positive standard of Christin living. * ' �ST. HELEN’S HALL 5 The interior administration of the school has been entrusted to the Sisters of St. John Baptist, who have the general superintendence of every department. In secular studies they are assisted by a staff of efficient instructors, either college graduates, or teachers espe­ cially trained for their work. A daily record is kept of the attendance, scholarship, and deportment of every pupil, and a report of the same is mailed to parents at the close of each quarter. Pupils failing, after a fair trial, to attain the required standard of scholarship or deportment, will not be re­ tained in the school. / The Sister Superior will always be glad to receive visits from the parents of pupils. The school consists of two departments—Elementary and Academic. The Elementary Department includes a Montessori Kindergarten for little girls and boys under seven. The Elementary Department is divided into seven classes, covering in English and Arithmetic the same ground as the Elementary public school, but including a broader range of subjects. The Academic Department covers five years and is divided into two courses—-the College Preparatory Course and the General Course. The College Prepara­ tory Course is so arranged as to meet the requirements of the leading Eastern colleges without undue pressure. The general Course is intended for pupils desiring to lay the foundation of a broad general education, and meets the requirements of those universities and colleges which do not require.four years’ preparatory work �6 ST. HELEN’S HALL in Latin. In it the time, which in the College Prepara­ tory Course is necessarily spent in Latin, is devoted to Literature, History and Modern Languages. Much of the work is common to both courses, and the standard of thoroughness is the same. The certificate of St. Helen's Hall is accepted in­ stead of entrance examinations at Wellesley and Smith Colleges, also at the State Universities of Oregon, Washington and California. Music, Art and Elocution count as regular elective studies in the General Course. A four-years’ course in any one of these subjects, satisfactorily completed, will be taken into account for graduation. In both the General and the College Preparatory Course, twenty credits are required for graduation, each credit representing a year’s work of five recitations a week. From seventeen to twenty-four recitations a week are required of all pupils. Either course, fully com­ pleted, entitles a pupil to the diploma of the school. tatglhi!) The aim in this course is to give pupils thorough inruction in English Grammar and Rhetoric, to enable hem to write with ease and accuracy, and to teach them o apprcaaie what is best in English Literature. From tne lowest class the reading matter is carefully selected, historv year tbe Academic Course a brief work ro°f Eng *sh Literature is studied. After this the the cr £TS Iy in the witine of compositions and hos r n • r/ °f E,^lish masterpieces, especially SSK E- to form a taste for good literature, and courses of reading are planned for the summer vacation. �ST. HELEN’S HALL 7 Sfanrfj anil (German In these courses the aim is to enable the pupil to read the languages at sight and speak and write them easily. In order to acquire a good pronunciation, the study of French should be begun in the Elementary Depart­ ment, the lessons at first being in the form of conver­ sation and easy reading. Afterward grammar and trans­ lation are begun. In the last year of the Course, French composition, History and Literature are studied. German or Spanish may be begun in the first, second or third year of the Academic Course and carried to the point required for admission to college or beyond it as may be desired. Attention is paid to pronunciation, conversation and sight reading, as well as to grammar and translation, and German and Spanish songs and plays form a part of the course. Satin mb (Srerk "Latin and Greek are not regarded as dead languages except in the sense that all language of books not in our era is dead. They are living in the sense that the Eng­ lish of Chaucer and the Italian of Dante are alive, dead only to those to whom for lack of knowledge they are sealed books.”—-(Cambridge School Manual.) A five years’ course of Latin is provided, including beside the usual college requirements of Caesar, Cicero, Virgil, Ovid and prose composition, a fifth yeai for Sallust and sight-reading. It is recommended that Latin should be begun in the 7th Grade of the school work. �8 ST. HELEN'S HALL The course in Greek covers three years; the previous work in Eating having prepared the pupil for its intelli­ gent study. The first year is given to grammar and exercises, the second to Xenophon, the third to Homer. It is desirable, though not essential, that pupils prepar­ ing for college should elect Greek as their third lan­ guage. ^istnru The study of History is begun in the Elementary Department and continued to the end of the school course. In the College Preparatory Course it is neces­ sarily limited to college requirements, which, however, are constantly increasing both as to quantity and qual­ ity. In the General Course five courses of History are offered. The topical method is approved, collateral reading is encouraged. Maps are drawn, and historical geography is held to be an important part of the work. History and English are intimately associated; pupils being required to commit to memory historical poems, and to write compositions on subjects drawn from his­ torical lessons. The school is fortunate in possessing a fairly good, though small, library of history, and litera­ ture bearing upon it. IRcttljemattrs In teaching mathematics the aim is to develop the spirit of enquiry, the habit of accuracy in reasoning, and the love of truth.” (Cambridge School Manual.) The prescribed course comprises Arithmetic, Algebra. Plane and Solid Geometry. Throughout the course original work is encouraged, and set rules are avoided. The pupils are encouraged to rely as little as possible upon text books. �ST. HELEN’S HALL 9 ^rirurp This department is conducted in accordance with the best scientific methods. Natural History is taught in connection with Geography in the Elementary Depart­ ment. In the Academic Department the subjects are taken up as indicated in the course of study. Labora­ tory work is required of all students of Chemistry and Physics, and the use of the microscope of all students of Botany and Physiology. It is considered that one or two sciences, each thoroughly studied for not less than one year, will do more for the pupil’s intellectual devel­ opment than a large amount of superficial work. A course in the Theory of Domestic Science, includ­ ing Hygiene, Household Sanitation and Chemistry of Foods, is offered. For lessons in cooking in connection with this course an extra charge is made. Ikltgioits dJnstrurtinn All pupils receive instruction in Holy Scripture, Church Catechism and the History of the Church, and attend the daily services in the Chapel of the School. Resident pupils attend service on Sunday morning in one of the city churches. jftflusir Pupils may study music, piano, violin, vocal, musical theory, harmony, etc., in the school, Two half-hour lessons a week are usually given, and at least one hour a day must be spent in practice; this time may be in­ creased according to the ability of the pupil. The tech­ nical work is drawn from the best sources, and pieces are selected from the great mass of old and new musical literature, according to the needs of the students. When �10 ST. HELEN’S HALL they are sufficiently advanced, ensemble playing, duos, trios and quartettes may be studied. Pupils are en­ couraged to attend the concerts offered throughout the season in the city. Art The school of the Portland Art Association offers special advantages to those wishing to study Art. The course includes elementary drawing, painting, model­ ling, sketching, composition, portrait and life study. Advanced students may also join the Art History and the Composition Class. Work in applied design is per­ mitted when the pupils are sufficiently advanced to carry out the principles studied, Art students may also join a class in Arts and Crafts, or may take special training in metal work, wood carving, etc. Pleural (ttulturr The school nasium, where matic, regular Apparatus and can be played. has the use of a well equipped gym­ pupils may have the benefit of syste­ exercise under a competent instructor. drill work can be taken and basket ball 7 he school also has two tennis courts for outdoor exercise.

Pupils may also take swimming lessons, either in connection with, or separate from, the gymnasium work. Dancing, indoor games and all girlish amusements arc encouraged. Pupils may form a class for dancing lessons if desired. �ST. HELEN’S HALL 11 (Cmtrsfs of §>ial)y Elementary Sryartmrnt FIRST YEAR. English. Reading, Writing, Spelling, Phonics. Arithmetic.

HELEN’S HALL The advance deposit is required to secure a room be­ fore the school opens and is used to meet the expenses of school supplies. An account of money used for per­ sonal expenses will be rendered at the close of the school year, and any surplus returned. The laundry work included in the regular charges does not include white skirts or dresses. Dresses or thin waists are not allowed to be worn from November 1 to April 1. All arrangements are made for the entire school year. Pupils withdrawn before the end of the year will be charged in full, ex­ cept in cases of severe illness, when the loss will be equally shared. This is a distinct condition of the contract. The cause of removal must be attested by two physicians, one of whom shall be the attending physician of the school. No deduction is made for occasional absence, nor for absence during the first four weeks. It is assumed that these conditions are accepted when the pupil is entered, this being the custom of all schools in good standing. No reduction will be made for absence of less than six weeks. When desired, pupils may remain at the school during Christmas and Easter vacations, and for that time will be charged at the rate of seven dollars a week. No bills will be paid for pupils, nor money advanced to them unless a deposit has been made for that purpose, and pupils are not allowed to have running accounts at any store in the city. A monthly allowance is recommended as tending to give a young girl a proper sense of the value of money and responsibility in the use of it. 1 �ST. HELEN’S HALL 19 Uihp i^nmp The home life of St. Helen’s Hall aims to be that of a well-regulated household, in which the general tone is wholesome and happy. A Sister, assisted by the resident nurse, has the care of the pupils’ health. Especial attention is paid to manners and bearing. A short list of correspondents and visitors is re­ quired signed by parent or guardian. Letters addressed to others than those on the list will be forwarded un­ opened to parents or guardians. During the term no pupil will be allowed to pass a night in town out of the school building except with her parents or near relatives. Pupils may not visit any­ where without the consent of parents or guardians. They may receive their friends on Saturdays and on week days out of school hours. Visitors will not be ad­ mitted on Sunday, except parents and members of the immediate family. Strangers must bring a letter of in­ troduction from parents or guardian. The pupils will be allowed to visit on Saturday those friends in the city whom the parents may designate, pro­ vided those friends accompany them to and from the school, as they may not go about the city unaccom­ panied at any time. Resident pupils will be allowed once in each month to spend Saturday and Sunday away from the school. Pupils whose homes are not in Portland are required to be resident pupils at the school. The intention is to have the school family consist of earnest girls who will cheerfully adapt themselves to such regulations as are found necessary. No pupil who shows herself impa tient of control, or whose general tone and influence w harmful, can be permitted to remain in the school. �20 ST.
