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

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

CDeLpktc 41 21 HIGH SCHOOL HONORS—1940 The Alumnae pin is awarded to the senior of good scholarship who has most actively contributed to the school life. This honor went to Peggy Magill, and honorable mention to Anne Alton. The award for the greatest improvement in citizenship in the boarding department went to Betty Jo Coleman, and honorable mention to Marilynn Adair. For the third successive year, the Columbia Scholastic Press Association selected St. Helen’s Hall Delphic in a nation-wide contest of school annuals, to receive a medal for excellence. This meant that our 1939 Delphic placed in the second class among all the annuals published in the country by girls’ schools of our size. The medal for the best essay on a patriotic subject awarded by the National Society of Colonial Daughters was won this year by Nada Skidmore of the Freshman Class for her essay on the Red Cross. Certificates of Merit in this same contest were won by: Nancy Ann Hcnton, freshman Annabelle Dodson, eighth grade. Marian Pierce, eighth grade. Beatrice King, freshman. Emily Joynt, eighth grade. Patricia Waters, freshman. For loyal support and cooperation in upholding the ideals of the school, the school picture was awarded to Peggy Magill. The Bishop’s prize for the highest average in Sacred Studies during the year went to Patricia Waters, whose name was also to be engraved on the Holford Cup. The American Legion gave a certificate of merit to a student in the eighth grade who was outstanding in honor, courage, scholarship, leadership, and service. In our school this certifi­ cate went to Virginia Lee Fenton. For outstanding work in Thespians this year, a book on Acting was awarded to Georgialee Housman. In an essay contest conducted by the Ladies’ Auxiliary of Veterans of Foreign Wars, on the subject of "The Benefits of Democracy,” second place in the state was won by Dorothea Harris of the Junior Class. In the "Noted Picture” contest, first prizes went this year to Virginia Burdick and Eileen MacDonald; second prizes went to Louise Smith, Patricia Waters, and Sylvia Thomas; third prizes went to Marybelle Reed and Cozette Scott. Two alumnae of the Hall at Oregon State College were elected to positions of honor— Ruth Hopper to the Etiquette Committee for Women Associated Students, and Frankie Gribbin to Rookess counselor board in charge of freshman hospitality. The annual gift given by Mrs. John S. Parke to the girl in the boarding department who on all occasions is the most courteous and helpful went to Jane Klahre and honorable mention to Renee Caplan. I �i !1 : ■ ‘I 22 ig ^ke Q)etpkic In the interests of goodwill between France and America, the French government awarded a beautiful medal to students in American schools doing excellent work in French.

This award was a book, The Wbiteheaded Eagle, autographed by the author, Mr. Richard Montgomery of Portland. This first honor went to Charmian Kolar. Honors were also awarded nine other students for excellent work in all departments. These honors in order of achievement went to: Margaret Renton. Anne Alton. Connie Maguire. Jenelyn Gaston.

Mr Hod Mecklem, their coach, awarded the prizes—a cup for first place to Betty Bussey, second to Marjorie Englehart, and third to Connie Maguire. �;9 (T*0 CDelpkic ~ 23 First Prize, Delphic Contest YELLOW ELEPHANT War, War That’s all he had heard about—once, twenty years ago and now again for perhaps more years than he could exist. The yellow elephant in a musty old toy shop on one of London’s forgotten streets was musing to himself. For years he had lived on that dust covered shelf, far in the corner, where no one had even bothered to notice him. After the first year of waiting he had made up his mind to love his owner, but his emotion changed slightly after the fifth year. He really would make his purchaser unhappy for even thinking of buying him. While he was mourning over his misfortune he noticed a freckled snub nose pressed against the dusty window pane. Warm, sunshiny, yellow hair topped the head of a small urchin. The yellow elephant mistrusted anyone who came near the shop, for somehow no one ever quite noticed him and that hurt his pride terribly. Thinking this was just another wishful beggar, the elephant paid no attention to the nose and hair until the sun caught and held the bluest eyes he had ever seen The yellow elephant felt that, if he had ever wanted to see and not hear truth, he had only to look into this child’s eyes. The elephant watched those eyes as they searched the dark room and stopped on him. A gleam of happiness came into them that held all the longing of love. A man in a blue uniform hurried by and the nose and eyes disappeared. The yellow elephant felt a new interest in life since he had seen those eyes. Day by day he found himself watching for them and each day he was rewarded, for at exactly the same time the nose and eyes would appear, unknowingly bringing the only sunshine into the barren shop. For many days this went on until the eyes and the elephant carried on a silent conversa­ tion. Then one day the hand that belonged to the eyes held up a penny. The elephant had a feeling that he would be leaving the shop for good very soon. The same day that he had this feeling he heard talk of war planes that would come and destroy everything, perhaps this shop. This terrified the elephant, for if that happened where would the eyes go to find him? Hoping and praying that the eyes would come soon, the elephant’s heart jumped as the rusty shop bell rang, and in walked the happiest and most excited little boy the elephant had ever seen. The boy pointed to the elephant and laid down his money. The elephant nearly fell off the shelf until cold sticky hands grasped his trunk and lifted him off it. The boy hurried out of the shop and down the street, stopping only to gaze at something huge and birdlike in the distant sky. Comfortably smothered in the boy’s arms the elephant was numb with emotion. He waited for the boy to speak. ,TAt last you’re truly mine. The first thing I’ve ever wanted and worked for. You shall always stay with me wherever I go. Because I’ve loved you for a long time and because now you’re mine I’m going to call you Love.” The elephant felt a surge of happiness as he once again looked into the eyes. In his heart he made a pact never to be separated from them. The boy looked at the sky now for the huge birds were the dreaded planes the elephant had heard about. The boy stood on the curb watching them; now they were overhead. A black object whirled dizzily toward earth. The boy watched as it came closer and closer. He dared not move. Suddenly the boy screamed. The street was torn. The blast was over. Silence! Love was held fast by a reddening hand. He could see that the blue of truth was gone forever. With tears in his eyes he looked at the sky so dark with evil and remembered his heartfelt pact. Would he painfully exist longer? An answer came in the next black object. The street was deserted except for the pitiful figure of a nobody’s boy clutching frag­ ments of a yellow elephant. —PATRICIA WATF.RS. �24 19 <T'*0 CDetphic ~ 41 DELPHIC CONTEST, HONORABLE MENTION "When 1 Consider Thy Heavens . . ” —Psalm 8:3. Once in a far land I honors did glean— Laureate Poet was I to the Queen. I wrote with folly, of life with such glee; Youthfully, haughtily, naught did I see Of life at its best. Thus seemed it to me A frolicsome youth was the one thing to be. The Queen was so shallow she cared for my verse— I lived for a time with a full laden purse. Yet one night I paused at my window and gazed; The moon turned so white that my senses were dazed. Arrows of moonlight were piercing my heart— Stronger than others there struck one bright dart. I sheltered my eyes from its straight gleaming lightA voice called to me in my ebony night! O, Eyes, did you seek to bewilder me then? The beauty 1 saw there was far from my ken— The slender cool form and the changing pale hair. I christened her "Moonlight”, the one who stood there. She spoke, and I thought that her words seemed to be The whisper of winds all-asweep through a tree. "O. Poet, do tell me why write you your rhymes? They please just the Queen, and her whims of the times. O, do you not know that true poems are found In sight of the heavens, in touch of the ground, In height of a mountain, in flame of a fire. In song of a bird as it rises still higher?” How blinding the glory that shone in her face! So shuddering, fearing, I drew back a pace Her words like a prayer had reached to my mind; I heard where from thenceforth my verse 1 would find Startled. I closed then my eyes as before— Lo! She was gone when they opened once more Now dead is that soul who in past years was I; The title of Laureate with him did die. Yet in his place has grown a man Who writes of Nature all he can. Who writes of sky, and sea, and sod— The Poet Laureate of God —NADA SKIDMORE, IV. �*9 CDelphic ™ 41 0*0 ARC 25 LIGHT The atmosphere seems damp and misty. The brilliant radiation from the arc light on top of the hill acts as the only life. Rain beats on the roof above. Peace and warmth are accented by the warm fire inside, while outside the wind makes its mournful wail. The arc light sways. All is hushed for a second; then suddenly a large gust of wind increases the tumult of the stormy night. A majestic telephone pole stands erect as a silhouetted crucifix against the small glare of the light. Gradually the fog becomes more dense, covering all that was in view. The small fir bough sways in beating rhythm with the arc light and the wind. As the bough sways. faint sparkles from the wet street show a distinct contrast to the bleak effect. Now the vision is out of sight and only the thoughts of peace are present. Blackouts are apparent only in the distance. —MARY ELIZABETH ALDRICH, VI.

AFTERNOON Always the sun was out when the turtles were out. The day was clear and bright The pond was like a pane of glass. Not a ripple broke the stillness of its surface, for the wind had duties elsewhere. The rays of sunshine penetrated deeply. A warm silence enveloped the pond and only a periodic drip from the oar established a sense of reality in us. Each drop drew a circle on the water that widened slowly and floated off behind the boat Actually it was not the circles that moved, but the boat drifting quietly forward. The movement of the circles and the enlargement of the approaching log brought us nearer our destination. We had a definite business. Downtown turtles sold for a quarter apiece. If we caught two a day we would soon have enough money. The boat glided forward from the momentum of David’s occasional, effortless strokes. We scarcely spoke a word. The nods of my head indicated to him the direction to be taken A pair of sapphire-blue dragon-flies jerked zigzaggedly through the air. They lit on an oar, resting their long, slender bodies. Their gauzy, outspread wings fluttered occasionally. 1 studied them carefully, wondering how they maintained their balance. As we approached the log a brown bump took the shape of a turtle. He was basking drowsily in the sunshine. We maneuvered silently to the rear of him. David stretched out his hand, but the turtle slid with a little splash into the water. It really made no difference. There were other logs and other turtles. It was the enchantment of this pastime that we enjoyed. —CONNIE MAGUIRE, VI. �P ;J :v hi 26 ig ^Jze CDelpkic SEA AND 41 SAND Golden child, playing by the shore, Electric sunlight washing all the world. Your tiny hands are busy Building castles in the sands, The brittle sands, The faded sands. A hopeful laughter dances in your eyes, The fresh and tingling winds are soothing to your cheek; They lift your curls in gentle fingers, And press them close Around your bobbing head. The shining palace stands complete. And all your youthful reveries are caught Within its walls, Its flimsy walls, While you softly sigh and dare not speak. But coaxing sea calls fill your ears. And gaily, to its feathery hem You rush in joyful rapture, stumbling now In careless freedom; The jealous, harrassed sea Pounds its shore gates, Covets your liberty. i The tiring god of day takes all too soon his leave, And tosses his crimson cloak Upon the sands, And slips into the cool waters Of the night. The vengeful ocean’s lashing fury beats Upon the bleeding shore, And one dark wave your helpless castle rocks— It falls, and all your dreams are carried swift away Upon the heaving breast Of the sea— The timeless sea. ! !

A dusty road, But its dust lies undisturbed Save by the wheels Of a passing cart, And the shuffling shoes of children Homeward bound from school. Cool, green meadows Stretch away on either side To the dim blue hills. Cows grazing in a sea of buttercups Beneath an azure dome of sky. An apple tree, Bending with its weight Of flowery snow, over a tumbledown fence; Its branches arch the road, And petals fall and cover the still dust With a perfumed garment pure and fair. A steel gray sky, Hard and forbidding, an unyielding barrier Forever separating Earth from Heaven. The lane’s still dust has turned to muddy slush, Tranquil no more, but torn By moving wheels and marching feet. The buttercups Have long vanished, and the fields Lie deep in snow, its virginity Spoiled only by the tracks Of wolves and coyotes, prowling Where once had been farms And civilization. All that is gone. The dreadful were-wolf of War Stole down from the hills in the night, Leaving nothing but desolation And carrion for the jackals, Where once had been peace and happiness and liberty. —NANCY MEYER, V. 27 �!i i' i< i \ 2S CDelpkic ;9 C^-3 41 WHAT HAVE I TO REMEMBER OF 1940? Nations crumble, and all around there is death. Many philosophic sayings are written concerning this monstrous religion, war, which demands mass human sacrifice to its brutal diety. New nations are moulded out of the crushed humanity of the old order. New rulers are hailed or cursed. New songs are sung, and people smile, amid terror and destruction. The world still fights with wavering hope that peace will come—soon. Now we have entered upon a new year. Through fear, and blood, and desolation, few will remember the crimson of a gum tree against October blue, the sound of laughing water racing over a mountain meadow, the mighty song of the ocean as it caresses the smooth beach, the smell of the salt spray, and the gull’s piercing cry. These are things I shall remember of 1940. If only the world could remember these, could it remember war? —DOROTHEA HARRIS, VI. CONTRADICTION I I LITTLE Here we are in class rooms, yearning To be out, away from this. To be free from halls of learning Ah, it would be more than bliss. Little birdies sing to me. Sing about the flower and tree; Sing about the sky so blue. Looking down on me and you. What we want is relaxation; Yet, when you ask us to confess, Do we want an education? You’ll find we almost all say, "Yes”. And way up in the sky so high I see the clouds go gliding by. I wonder if I ever can Go clear up there in sandman land. —SALLY COLWELL, Sixth Grade. —ELEANOR F. COLES, 111 * BIRDIES LOVELY EARTH I love to see the leaves That fall from lovely trees; The brooks that ripple Through the hills To fall into the seas; And little lambs That play among the hills Till mothers say, "It’s time To say, 'To bed, to bed’ My tired little ones.” Then all around The darkness falls, And stars come out to play. Then fairies dance their lovely dance. And I must run away. —QUINLAND DANIELS, Third Grade. ���i 1 ■ CDetpkic •+* 41 29 I cO^N/£ ,eaNne STUDENT Maguire BODY As we look back on this year we find it has been a very active and successful one.

The cabinet consisted for the year of the student body officers and during the first term, Jenelyn Gaston, editor of the Halltonian, Mary Sumner, Margaret Saari, Gretchen Nicolai, Marybell Reed, and Phyllis Stewart. For the second term they were Charmian Kolar, editor of the Halltonian, Lillian Johnson, Lillian Robertson, Jean Maris, Marybelle Reed, and Phyllis Stewart. Among our many activities, some in a serious and others in a lighter vein, we have had a talk by Mrs. Ivison Macadam on ''England Today”; also a talk was given for the purpose of Chinese relief by Mr. Paul Mauritz. Several educational films have been shown stressing driving safety and the knowledge of money. Representatives from Scripps and Mills have offered information to the upperclassmen. One of the most enjoyable assemblies was spent listening to the Reverend Edward H. (Bonny) Bonsall speak on modern day problems con­ fronting young people Alice Duer Miller’s "White Cliffs” was excellently read by Mrs. Linthicum. Dances and a student body picnic have been among the social activities. The Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter seasons were taken care of generously by the girls for the benefit of the less fortunate. This has been a happy year for everyone because of careful guidance and excellent leader­ ship on the part of the student body officers. We can leave for the summer with the feeling that a great deal of good has been accomplished, and with the hope that next year will be just as happy and successful as this one has been. \ �30 *9 CCLhe CDetphlc ™ 41 HALLTONIAN The school’s bi-weekly paper means much to the girls. In this mimeographed news sheet, which is put out entirely by the girls themselves, appears a resume of the week’s activities, and an outline of the future program. All members of the staff are members of the Journalism Club under the supervision of Mrs. Swanson. The Editor for the fall term was Jenelyn Gaston, a senior. She was followed in the spring by Charmian Kolar, a junior. Under these two girls the staff has worked hard with splendid results. Even though die most of the work falls upon the shoulders of the editor, the staff has always been generous in giving their time to working outside of school on the edition. The art work which means much to the paper is handled by the art editor who mimeoscopes her pictures on the stencils. This is a tricky job, but different effects can be produced by a skillful hand. Each year the Halltonian makes progress. We have left the essay type one-column master­ pieces far behind in favor of broken columns of newsy articles with catchy headlines. Pictures now adorn the front page, and interesting features fill the inside sections. Our new policy is to shy from gossip, and in its place to use original feature articles, some running in serial form or in sequences. Constant improvement and change of style has made the Halltonian a necessary part of our school life. OLD-GIRL NEW-GIRL PARTY Everyone enjoys the annual party given for the new girls. Of course the new girls have to endure an initiation which is a source of amusement to all who look on. Everyone attends the party in original costumes, and prizes are given for the best efforts. Betty Bevil and Arline Wollin tied for first prize. Afterwards welcome refreshments are served by Sister Superior in the truest Hall manner. THE RED CROSS The Red Cross has been active this year in planning projects for the less fortunate. There are four main groups which work on knitting, sewing and toys, projects for the blind, and attractive scrap books. Also a group of girls have gone to the Tuberculosis Hospital to roll bandages. Two programs have been presented for the T. B. patients by the Tunesters, Drama Club, and the Ensemble which have been a source of enjoyment to the shut-ins. �- ig <~> ^ke Q)elph.Lc 41 31 ! SCHOOL DANCE School dances are always eagerly awaited and well attended by the Hall students. The fall informal was held November 29- The main theme depicted autumn with decorations of leaves through the room, and a jolly squirrel sat in the center of the floor. All the girls agreed that dances are a "must” in the school calendar. JUNIOR PROM Pastel colored formals contrasting with dark suits—soft lights and Wes Lang’s wonderful orchestra. Hopeful wishes were made for the future around the Wishing Well. The Seniors’ last dance at the Hall—the Junior and Senior Prom. l ■; JUNIOR CARNIVAL Crowds gathered before Ye Old Curio Shops which lined the street. Vendors wove in and out selling their wares. The town people gathered in the square where the men swung their partners, first to the right and then to the left. It was the night of the Junior Carnival. The gay Old English Village was in reality the school auditorium. RECEPTION In the evening of October 23, the annual faculty reception was held in the school audi­ torium. The Seniors in pastel formals met the guests and introduced them to the faculty. This annual affair was planned in order that the parents and friends of the school might become better acquainted with the faculty. �EVERGLADES Everglades at Lake Oswego is one of the Hall’s most important features. It provides a great many pleasant activities and outings for the girls. Among these are week-ends for the boarders, class parties, student body picnics, and ceremonies. The house stands facing the lake surrounded by level green lawns and cool shade trees. It is also equipped with diving facilities, tennis courts, and a lawn swing for leisure hours. Inside there is a small chapel which is used on Sundays for simple services. There is a spacious dormitory which is often used by boarders on week-end outings. The dining room and kitchen are very popular with a ravenous brood, and the hospitable living room and game room with the comfort of a fireplace provide many an afternoon or evening of pleasure. Everglades is truly an enjoyable spot, and it is no wonder that it is loved by the girls. �I ! ^■he CDelphic 33 t i ■ i ; 1 ; ■. : ’ ; i 1 JEANNE D’ARC Directed by Mary Hobson Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French THE CAST Jeanne D’Arc Louis le Conte...........................

MAY FETE ?V. "■■■.? The climax of the spring term ended May 22 at St. Helen’s Hall with the annual May V : %,-A U. ;L Fete. The fete is a tradition at the Hall and is ruled over by the May Queen nnd her royal court, which is selected from the members of senior class by the Associated Student Body. The queen who ruled over the festivities for this year and who bestowed awards was June Fowler. The court was completed by the princesses, Connie Maguire, Lillian Robertson, Audra Blanken­ ship, Mary Sumner, Katherine Jane Robinson, and Jenelyn Gaston. The Junior Class chose Charmian Kolar to assist Queen June as Mistress of Ceremonies. After the bestowing of awards the day came to a close with the new girls entertaining the old girls with a supper and various skits. The Queen abdicated and the court dispersed at the end of the festivities. Thus another event was brought to a close. ��'i [v-‘ 0^5 (Delphic 0*^9 ■ .5 ! r l I ’ CLUB PRESIDENTS FIRST ROW—Jane Klahre, Lillian Robertson, Shirley Gray, Phylhs Stewart, Geneva Summerset.

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

This year under the leadership of Connie Maguire the club has made much progress. The club’s financial problem was partially solved by a set monthly membership fee. The club went up to Timberline regularly every other week-end all season. The big ]■ ■ yellow bus which was chartered was large enough for all the members to go every trip. We left from school about eight o’clock each Saturday morning with fifteen or more excited girls, and returned that night around seven with them equally tired. is . Mrs. Swanson, Mrs. Stevens, and Miss Hobson took turns going up with them and the lessons this year were under the direction of Bob Donaldson. A great deal was accomplished, and most of the girls were in the advanced class by the season’s end. . I i* Y u £• ': i • !* ■ r :• ��! i ig 40 ^ke CDetpliLC ATHLETICS Basketball is the Hall girls’ favorite game. Our team captain this year was Alice Kimball. Although the season proved unsuccessful, the girls played hard fast ball, and lost their games by small margins. No outside games were played in volley ball this year because of a late start, although an intramural tournament was held. With spring comes baseball. The girls play on the grass diamond in the center of the campus. The annual tennis tournament was held in early April. Jeanne Morrison captured the singles crown, and Connie Maguire and Jeanne Morrison shared honors for the doubles crown. Archery and fencing classes are held after school for those interested in these sports. The fencing team held their own in the tournaments in which they entered. 1939-1940 Athletic Awards MEDALS FOR BASKETBALL Maradick Word. Lillian Johnson. Jean Lewis. Connie Maguire.

The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. St. Helen's Hall was an all-girls school that pre-dated Oregon Episcopal School. In 1969, the yearbook evolved into The Legend-Delphic with the addition of Bishop Dagwell Hall and male student attendees. After 1986 the yearbook branding begins to singularly list "OES" with a few volumes referencing "The Delphic" or "The Legend Delphic". Yearbooks helped to chronicle the school year's events and activities, in addition to listing each student and staff member.

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

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

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

Although one of its members is a Hall girl since the fifth grade and another since the eighth grade, most of the class entered the Hall in their freshman year. During its sophomore, junior, and even senior years, other active members have joined the class. i : . We are, in one sense, just an average class, an average group of girls. We have our athletes, our scholarly students. We have tall girls, short girls, and just in between girls. in another sense we are vitally different.

This honor went to Jeanne Morrison, and honorable mention to Betty Bevil and Connie Maguire The award for the greatest improvement in citizenship in the boarding department went to Patty Waters. The medal for the best essay on a patriotic subject awarded by the National Society of Colonial Daughters was won this year by Virginia Johnson, a freshman, for her essay on " WTiy I am Glad I am an American” Certificates of merit in rhis same contest were won by: Charlotte Gerow Gloria Grenfell Stearns Meredith Patricia Bendshadler Patricia Pearson Jean McDonald For loyal support and cooperation in upholding the ideals of the school, the school picture was awarded to Mary Sumner. For efficient management of the Delphic, the school picture was given to Betty Bevil. The American Legion gives a certificate of merit to a student in the eighth grade who is outstanding in honor, courage, scholarship, leadership, and service. In this school the certificate went to Jean McDonald. For outstanding work in Thespians during the year, a book on acting was awarded to Agnes Johnson. For loyal support and outstanding work in art, a book was awarded to Jenelyn Gaston. For the fourth successive year, the Columbia Scholastic Press Association selected the St. Helen’s Hall Delphic in a nation-wide contest of school annuals, to receive a medal for excel­ lence. This meant that the 1940 Delphtc placed in second class among all the annuals published in this country by girls’ schools of this size. The Bishop’s prize for the highest average in Sacred Studies during the year went to Charmian Kolar, whose name was also engraved on the Holford Cup. Honorable mention was given to Nancy Meyer. In the "Noted Picture” contest, the prize this year went to Mary Belle Reed. The annual gift given by Mrs. John S. Parke to the girl in the boarding department who on all occasions is the most courteous and helpful went to Lillian Robertson, and honorable mention to Eleanor Coles. Honors are awarded to those students who place academically in the highest ten of the upper school. First on the list stood two students who maintained consistently a very high average in all subjects throughout the year. These awards were books. These first honors went to Nancy Meyer and Sally Jeffcott. Honors were also awarded to eight other students for excellent work in all departments. These honors in order of achievement went to: Geraldine Stout Dorothea Harris Charmian Kolar Jenelyn Gaston Nada Skidmore Gloria Grenfell Lillian Johnson Connie Maguire P P P P P ■ �24 ig ~> ^he CDelpkic ^"2 First Prize, Delphic Contest COURTSHIP OF THE FLOWERS The winding of the wailing elfin horn Scarce broke the twilight stillness. How forlorn The garden lay, shade-haunted, with a mist Of numbness drifting o’er the unseen tryst The evening zephyr kept with lovelorn flowers. The wistful roses sighed, "With us abide.” For his caresses every blossom vied; In serpentine embrace the passion vine Hoped yet the elusive gypsy to entwine. The blue moon, watching, saw him slowly pass Across the dipping billows of the grass, And, hovering, leave the fainting willow weeping Sad tears into the stream as downward creeping Past thyme, past perfumed daphne, primrose, tulips, The drowsy night-wind kissed with languid lips The wild windflower; upon her fluttering breast He nestled, murmuring, and sank to rest. —NANCY MEYER, VI. S £ E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E e Delphic Contest, Honorable Mention SMELLS What would you do without your nose? Are you conscious of its real value? Certainly the world would be much less interesting if we were deprived of our sense of smell! In our gardens we would miss the fragrance of violets and primroses; a field of clover drenched in early morning dew; the heavy scent of roses and honeysuckle borne on a light breeze at the end of a long, hot, summer day; the pleasant grassy smell after the lawn has been mowed; and fruit lying under bare trees and slowly rotting in the mellow autumn sunshine. No longer would we know the sticky, suffocating air that precedes a thunderstorm, or, in contrast, the cool freshness of rain falling on a dusty road. Without the sharp tang of salt air, the seashore would lose that invigorating quality which gives us such appetites. How we would miss the fragrance of deep woods, where moss and ferns and other kinds of vegetation flourish in the rich, damp soil; sweet hay piled high in a dusty barn; and smoke of burning autumn leaves! Shoe polish and camphor balls, musty clothes and books, new magazines and newspapers, hospitals and gasoline stations, tobacco and whiskey, freshly painted houses and newly cut lumber are all things that would lose much of their meaning if we could not recognize them by their respective smells. And as for food, who would care to part with the appetizing fragrance of a warm loaf of bread, fresh from the oven; a thick juicy steak, sputtering and browning in the hot grease of a frying pan; wild strawberries, growing sweet and warm and juicy in the sunshine; and better than them all, to me, the rank odor of moldy, aged cheese!

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

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

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

Oh, envy the leaves in the wind. —QUINLAND DANIELS, Fourth Grade. 29 �m m K= w d IQ i a m i m 3 ^jy^tpl'lLC ^ ^2 30 d MAY One day I went out to play; It was a very bright day in May.

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

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

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

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

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

The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. St. Helen's Hall was an all-girls school that pre-dated Oregon Episcopal School. In 1969, the yearbook evolved into The Legend-Delphic with the addition of Bishop Dagwell Hall and male student attendees. After 1986 the yearbook branding begins to singularly list "OES" with a few volumes referencing "The Delphic" or "The Legend Delphic". Yearbooks helped to chronicle the school year's events and activities, in addition to listing each student and staff member.

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

I THE EDITOR. 1 ■ sw 1 ■ ; L ikfl EDITORIAL "In today already walks tomorrow.” Today was built by many yesterdays; Inside the heart there grows the endless maze, The pulse of hope, aching mists of sorrow. Other’s memories we cannot borrow But in our own there lies the future’s haze . . . Beloved faces, varied scenes’ arrays. In today already walks tomorrow.” There is a beauty in that this can be, A justice, and a helping hand to hold. It gives to us a choice in life, to see In present hours the future still untold. May each of us from some old memory Receive deep grace, and pleasant dreams unfold. ; ; !L!

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

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

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

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

The bells attached to their tiny collars Sparkled like gold and silver dollars. Their dresses were made of lovely lace; One had the most lovely and precious face. Their shoes shone like glittering sparks. Although they danced they made no marks. Their hair was shiny burnished gold. Mere beautiful than can ever be told. They make magic with their little wands. I think they live in the flowers in nearby ponds. SUSAN DICK, Grade VI. MY HOME IN THE MOUNTAINS l Where the call pines and the sweet smelling firs Make wonderful homes for the squirrels and birds. i Where the happy brook runs along with a song.

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

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

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

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

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

As our days and months at the Hall pass, we appreciate more and more the quiet beauty and simple dignity of the Morning Service. In perfect harmony are all the memorial gifts: the altar, sanctuary lamps, pulpit, and the mother of pearl processional cross. The long-desired pipe organ was given to us by Mrs. Walter B.

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

Twro seniors brought honor to their Alma Mater by placing in the first group in the Stanford achievement tests—Eleanor Coles and Nada Skidmore. St. Helen’s Hall is proud of the fact that its annual, the Delphic, has many times won honors in the national year book contest conducted by the Columbia Scholastic Press Associa­ tion. Last year’s book was awarded the gold medal for placing in the first class among the smaller private schools. Hi Two seniors this year finished their twelfth year at St. Helen’s Hall. Nada Skidmore and Sally Jeffcott, to whom the school picture was awarded. i The school is proud of the fact that the editor of the Multnomah County Junior Red Cross paper for 1943 was Jane McMullen.

The social success is the one who can talk most like a hard cynical commando. The fashion-plate is apparently the one attired in quite dirty jeans, martyred sweater, socks of terrifying hue, and shoes completely covered by the humble soil. My opinion is of little value, for I am a girl and older, but I believe my ten-year-old brother must be a great success. He is certainly dressed properly, and I know has a large stock of commando tactics. The only way to distinguish him from the other men-of-the-world is by his hazel eyes, very charming nose, and hair about the color of the dirt that modestly covers his forehead. He doesn't talk much to outsiders; only to those other little boys who understand his lan­ guage. He talks very skillfully with them. Once he organized an army, made himself general, and the other boys privates. Something must have upset this Hitlerism, for he soon was one general among many. In fact, they were all generals. He has an unlimited supply of information about airplanes. Perhaps we could learn much from him, but he is frightfully longwinded. We have trained ourselves to listen with only one ear and insert "un-huh” occasionally. I suppose he will be an after-dinner speaker. At least then we won’t have to insert the "un-huh”, but only listen with one ear. JEAN EDMONDS, IV. | : : :m ■ i. ’ V I y THE GLEAMING LIGHT I see many a bright color shield That the enemy ne’er could mar As I walk across the battlefield Of years and years of war. I see brave men who would not yield To the tempests that would scar As I walk across the battlefield Of years and years of war. As I wander through the burial grounds, As I trudge through darkened vale, The mist seems to lift; the light abounds; It brightens this quiet dale, And then I know that the scars have healed; Again I see a star As I walk across the battlefield Of years and years of war. JANET MACGREGOR, III. i li. ; ..1 ■ Km tj - • THE FOREST In the dim, still heart of the forest There is a refuge close to God, Where majestic trees will guard you; Where angels seem to have trod.

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

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

The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. St. Helen's Hall was an all-girls school that pre-dated Oregon Episcopal School. In 1969, the yearbook evolved into The Legend-Delphic with the addition of Bishop Dagwell Hall and male student attendees. After 1986 the yearbook branding begins to singularly list "OES" with a few volumes referencing "The Delphic" or "The Legend Delphic". Yearbooks helped to chronicle the school year's events and activities, in addition to listing each student and staff member.

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

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

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

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

He had come with footsteps that fell as soft as the wilted petals of the cherry blossom that falls from the tree when the spring is gone. He was not a very young man, nor was he very old, but his eyes were sad with the lone­ liness of one who wanders through the night in search of that which does not exist. Long he stood in the darkness, the shadows curled about him. He did not speak or move, and his breath came in haunting little sighs that clung to him though their sound had ceased. He was waiting for someone to come to him out of the night — someone he did not really expect at all. Silently I watched him, and I thought upon his face which held the drama of countless men. It was not the drama of a greedy death who snatches from the arms of the hungry; nor was it of bitterness with its yellowed fangs biting deep into the core of humanity. Rather it was the drama of loneliness written in wistful lines upon the face of a man, of unknowing sadness floating through his life. These are the things I thought of while I watched the man who waited, his life filled only with the tears he could never shed, as he turned and walked slowly into the night—alone. CONTRIBUTED. THE INQUIRER f f } f 2 £ I t What are you, spring? A daffodil, a daisy gay? A singing brook, a child at play? Or fly you from a nest of birds Winging out to sea? A sunset too glorious for words? You, oh spring, are all these things to me. What are you, spring? A rainbow bright, a sky of blue? A shimmering lake, the glistening dew? Are you the beckoning star That all lost sailors see?

But none compare, none Shall be— Like the king of the forest, The lone fir tree. SHIRLEY BARTON, III. The pale silvery moon Makes a path that gleams; I would love to walk Along her shining beams. If I could walk Upon her shining beams, I would walk to the moon And remember only dreams. But in the morning I’d walk down. Back to my tiny, tiny home In the silent, sleeping town.

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

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

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

The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. St. Helen's Hall was an all-girls school that pre-dated Oregon Episcopal School. In 1969, the yearbook evolved into The Legend-Delphic with the addition of Bishop Dagwell Hall and male student attendees. After 1986 the yearbook branding begins to singularly list "OES" with a few volumes referencing "The Delphic" or "The Legend Delphic". Yearbooks helped to chronicle the school year's events and activities, in addition to listing each student and staff member.

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

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

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

Playing softball, swimming, poring over lessons in study hall, or whatever they may be doing, they arc always a "pepp> lot They were responsible for dispensing the great quantities of popcorn which were consumed at the Junior Carnival. They have also taken their important part in the various campaigns conducted in the school during the year, aided by their adviser, Mrs. Faith Fors. In the fall they gave an entertaining skit in assembly, under the direction of Mrs. Helen R. Snipper, their English teacher, who also accompanied the girls on a week-end of skiing, when they occupied a cabin on Blossom Trail. �Is:?» & EIGHTH GRADE Row I—Diann Swift.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. St. Helen's Hall was an all-girls school that pre-dated Oregon Episcopal School. In 1969, the yearbook evolved into The Legend-Delphic with the addition of Bishop Dagwell Hall and male student attendees. After 1986 the yearbook branding begins to singularly list "OES" with a few volumes referencing "The Delphic" or "The Legend Delphic". Yearbooks helped to chronicle the school year's events and activities, in addition to listing each student and staff member.

Fellowship in our daily lives logic­ ally leads to a desire for world peace, for true it is that “What you arc to he you arc now becoming.” C The value of this point of view is recognized and applied in all student life here at “the Hall.” Mindful of this, let our goal be to practice fellowship while at school and throughout our lives, that we may aid in the attainment of lasting peace for all.

You graduates have made a definite contribution to the tradition of St. Helen's Ilall. Your experience here, your influence and your memories will become a part of the written and unwritten history of a venerable educational institution. As you have conic in and out of the school during the years past, you have made ties and formed attachments for classmates and teachers. Unconsciously you have come to accept each other as friends bound together by the community of interests which you have experienced in this critical period of your life. May you keep alive these friendships and interests in one another and keep warm your ufTection for St. Helen’s Hall. This is my fervent hope and prayer. We who are charged with the task of maintaining and strengthening the Hall ask your prayers and support when your relationship passes from that of students in school to alumnae of St. Helen's Hall. v Faithfully yours, lien jam in I). Dapicrll. I). !)., President of the Hoard of Trustees. & & �■ vg ; .• ; j fri- . !i i.

The first undertaking was the production of “The Shooting of Dan McGrow,*’ at tin Junior Carnival. On the more serious side came the presentation of the class play, “Letters to Lucerne,’* and the work of preparing the Delphic. Plans then went ahead for the Silver Tea, skip day, and the presentation of the class gift. Officers were Harriet Bouvy, President: Dale Smith. Vice-President; Anne King.

A. has always done much toward promoting an active interest in sports. This year has been no exception, and lively participation in basketball and volleyball in skiing, swimming and horsebuck riding, in tennis and baseball has resulted. The club has also enjoyed numerous other activities, managed by its officers with the cooperation of their adviser, Miss Colleen Cook. They produced a play, “On the Air”, for an assembly, and sold candy at the Junior Carnival. A committee composed of club members has been appointed to handle the scheduling of games in 1918-19-19. SSSS3W i m > x I c £ E c •_ £ £ fr F The good times we had on the ski trips to Ml. Hood will never be forgotten. This year’s Seniors who were veteran members of the Ski Club took the lead in arrang­ ing so that all those in school who desired might participate in skiing throughout the season, rather than having a program for Juniors ami Seniors only, as formerly. Under this plan, we had six Saturdays at Government Camp and three at Timberline, with Hob Donelson as instructor. The Ski Club, composed of upper classmen only, also enjoyed a special week-end at Timberline. r- : Left to right: Instructor Bob Donelson.

Class teams played fast and spirited games, and the girls also participated in city tournaments. The most exciting action in the Frcshmen-Sophomore basketball series came in a contest which resulted in the score of 16*1 1 in favor of the Sophs. Seniors led at the end of the hoop games, with Juniors second, followed by Sophomores and Freshmen. In volleyball, the Juniors and Seniors were very closely matched in strength. The score of their last game was 32-33, the Seniors winning and taking the series also. Two basketball teams of Hall girls were sponsored by parents in the Park League tournament. The Christies and the Cookies, as they were called, placed second and third respectively in the Island League, after three contests held to decide a lied score.

The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. St. Helen's Hall was an all-girls school that pre-dated Oregon Episcopal School. In 1969, the yearbook evolved into The Legend-Delphic with the addition of Bishop Dagwell Hall and male student attendees. After 1986 the yearbook branding begins to singularly list "OES" with a few volumes referencing "The Delphic" or "The Legend Delphic". Yearbooks helped to chronicle the school year's events and activities, in addition to listing each student and staff member.

The staff realized early in the year that in this one volume we could not possibly describe and depict Hall life in its whole form, but, rather, we must constrain ourselves to recording those parts that would recall the fullest memories. In reviewing the experiences, we are but so barely out of, only a portion of their true value is clear to us. r® u r At the moment we see only the im­ mediate benefit of good instruction, the enjoyment of friendly teacher-student associations, the har­ r mony of student activities when everyone cooperated to the best of her ability. These things are & the essence of school spirit and successful student government. Still I say it will be future years when we shall truly comprehend the truth and value of ★ things learned here. r[ » To this end we give you this edition of the Delphic, dedicated to our faculty, as a remembrance of the things we have worked on and enjoyed together. BARBARA JEAN FREEMAN. i * H I * f r i i u u �' p ( E J r "JJeliold us, gracious saviour, m girlhood s morning bright, Look on us in Thy mercy, and guide us with Thy light. Life’s journey lies before us, go with us all the way, So shall we love Thee truly and serve Thee day by day �r i f This is written in the midst of a January blizzard! Out of loyalty to our Northwest, one should hesitate to mention this especially if one felt that the only historical record of the winter of 1949 was going to be found in the Delphic. [! [ Naturally it won't be. Neither will the historical record of the class of 1949 of St. Helen's Hall be found only here. It was written first in the hearts and minds of the men and women who eighty years ago determined that young women of their day and of future generations would be given the advantages of a Christian education. (And it was writ­ ten there, by their spiritual forebears). It was continued through feast and famine, war a nd peace, economic depression and prosperity, by boys and girls, men and women, nuns and priests and bishops. until today. Today and tomorrow you will write it. It is true that the 1949 Delphic is part of the record—but not all. ''The polished corners of the temple" are parts of the whole, used and useful. Set once in the original foundations by the design of the architect, at the hands of the workmen, their presence is funda­ mental, their function is historical, their memory will be cherished.

Under Mrs. Fors' very able sponsorship and counsel, the class has been successful in everything they have undertaken. In sports they have proved extremely able opponents, and in student affairs many a junior has been more than instrumental in the success of the projects contracted. Active throughout the entire year, the Junior Class again became the center of attention with the presentation of the annual Junior Prom. This last formal dance in honor of the graduating seniors fully measured up to standard Despite all the school activities over which the Junior Class presided, or in which they took an active part, they still found ample time to have some very enjoyable class parties, dinners. and excursions. �' . 1.

Continuing a tradition which they instituted last year they were co-hostesses with the sophomore class of Catlin's at a dance held in Scadding Hall on January 14. One of the most successful of their undertakings was the Cupid's Ball, given February 4. The "White Elephant Sale," one of their projects for the Junior Carnival, was very successful and nearly a sell-out. lr rr A noon program of folk-dancing, under the sponsorship of the sophomores, has proved a decidedly enjoyable addition to the lunch period Mrs, Easterday served as adviser for our gifted "oldest" underclassmen. I r - FRESHMAN CLASS The freshman class this year has been by every standard - a very lively and adventuresome one, full of school spirit. They have managed to carry out every undertaking with this same enthusiasm. One project in particular, which we all felt was well done, was their balloon and fish-pond concessions at the Junior Carnival. Their adviser Mrs. Gearhart gave a dinner for them at her home in December. We would like to commend this class especially for the pep and good sportsmanship they have shown during the year in connection with their team sports. The kind of spirit they have shown is a decisive factor in the development of a good "Hall girl," and we believe the freshmen have made an excel­ lent beginning.

HELENAS r rn :r fP Helenas is an honorary-service organization named after the Hall s patroness. Saint Helen. The Senior Helenas members are in charge of morn ing chapel duty and the Juniors arrange the flowers for the altar. This year Helenas members served at the fall reception for the faculty and school board. They had charge of the "Lost and Found" and arranged decorations in the halls during the Yuletide season.

They made their debut by entertaining the Mother's Club and faculty with a musical takeoff on a woman's club meet­ ing. They combined their efforts with those of the speech and modern dance departments to produce a unique Christmas program. Twice during the year they furnished the choral back­ ground for morning worship service broadcasts. Their most important project, the operetta "Martha", was given in the spring. B Sharp made its last appearance on the May Fete program.

Mrs. Wolfson is their counsellor muy buena. The first event on their calendar was the initiation dinner for new members. According to tradition the Club sold leis at the Junior Carnival. At Easter they sent a basket to a needy family. "Las senoritas" enjoyed a wonderful picnic at Ever­ glades in May. C. A. A ♦ The Girls' Athletic Association encourages school sports at the Hall. For membership the girls are required to earn a certain number of points each year by participating in school athletics. At the first of the year G.A.A, had a swimming party at Everglades. With their advisor Miss Cook they were hostesses to the Northwest Independent Schools' play day held at the Hall, and they sponsored inter-athletic activities with Catlin's.

ELIZABETH tttLL. i FOG BEAUTY INCOGNITO Fog sheds her long, gray mantle. % Over the sleepy town, The mountain appears a Down it comes like a curtain. J snow-white cloud. Gleaming while; Slowly, softly down. In reality it is a treacherous tomb. A filmy, frothy curtain. Infinitely black. Drapes the fresh, green trees. Fleecy snow whirling in the air. Clothing them in silver. Darting 'round. Staining gray the leaves. But comes the hard, biting wind. The houses seem like shadows. Driving it mad. Black, and gray and white. The staunch pines in a fight to survive. Part of the velvet curtain. Bending down. Part of the purple night. The rocks and hills lose their shape Eerie are the shadows, Under the foe. Drifting through the night. The snow melts; the summer comes. Like silent ghosts they wander, Everything thrives. Beneath the street lamps' light. But after the sun, again—the snow. Fog lifts her silver mantle, Hindering life. Lifts them for the dawning Of a new and glorious day.

The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. St. Helen's Hall was an all-girls school that pre-dated Oregon Episcopal School. In 1969, the yearbook evolved into The Legend-Delphic with the addition of Bishop Dagwell Hall and male student attendees. After 1986 the yearbook branding begins to singularly list "OES" with a few volumes referencing "The Delphic" or "The Legend Delphic". Yearbooks helped to chronicle the school year's events and activities, in addition to listing each student and staff member.

THE REVEREND NEVILLE BLUNT Chaplain ���Senior Class It was with eager anticipation that the class of the mid-century met the year which was to be their last one at the Hall While maintaining a full academic schedule, they found time to have parties, teas, and dinners, Mrs. Folts, friend and adviser to the seniors, added to the success and happiness of the year. Under a spotlight during the Junior Carnival, the seniors presented a gay and original skit—their version of musical highlights from the "Gay Nineties" to the present time In late April the curtain rose on the Senior Class Play, "Cry Havoc." The I c ( i i i i G I I enthusiastic reception by the audience was a thrilling reward for the members of the cast. Responsible in a large measure for the success of the show was the superb direction of Mrs. Folts. Excitement mounted as graduation day drew near. During the last two weeks of school, there were many unforgettable occasions: Skip Day,- a Silver Tea given by the seniors in honor of the board of trustees, the faculty, resident counselors, and parents,- the Junior Prom and Class Day, when honors were awarded and the senior gift presented to the school. The climax of an eventful year was the singularly beautiful commencement ceremony in Trinity Episcopal Church. The hearts and minds of all the graduates were filled with mixed emotions, sorrow over parting with dear friends and pleasure in the anticipation of college life. �NANCY INEZ COLLINS Portland, Orogon 1944-1950 President of Senior Class 1949-1950 President of Freshman Class 1946-1947 Secretary of Student Body 1947 Edilor-in-Chlef of Doiphic 1949-1950 May Queen 1950 Helenas 1946-1950 G.

The spirit of the ' Frosh’ has come to be an integral and well-liked part of the Hall. i <3 ����Student Body An outstanding feature at St. Helen’s Hall is student government, which again this mid­ century year has proved itself effective in promoting the general welfare of the school. The governing group, the Student Council, is composed of the student body president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer,- the president of each class, and the president of the Boarders. Plans for an active school calendar were begun in September by the ANN ELLSPERMAN fall council, presided over by capable Ann Ellsperman and advised by Mrs. Folts. First on the agenda was the Old Girl-New Girl Tea, a "get-acquainted” function. Several weeks later, student body membership cards were issued to the new girls after a gay initiation ceremony. Then came the busy Yuletide season. Since 1948 the Hall has been affiliated with a girls’ school in Wittlich, Germany. At Christmas time, Hall students and faculty sent small tokens of friendship to the girls over there. With a true Hall spirit, the girls spread Christmas cheer here in Portland by distributing gifts to children less fortunate than they. The annual Christmas dinner, complete with an exchange of presents under a gaily decorated tree, was a farewell to 1949 Beginning a new year, a new spring student council forged ahead with, as its first project, plans to revise the student body constitution. On February 17, 18, 19, St. Helen’s Hall and Catlin school were co-hostesses to delegates from six neighboring independent schools. Business meetings, the general assembly, and panel discussions were held here at the Hall on the eighteenth. That evening, the delegates attended a dance held in their honor at Catlin. The student body sponsored two weekend trips during the school year— one in the fall and one in the spring. The fine spirit shown by all who participated added to the wonderful success of the excursions. The culmination of student body affairs was the beautiful ceremony of the May Fete. The school year ending in the middle of the twentieth century was an outstand­ ing one for those who love St. Helen’s Hall, and it will forever be an indelible memory in their hearts. �I I ( 1 I 1 Student Body > Spring Council Row 1—Martha Stearns, Bette Davidson, Treasurer,- Ann Ellsperman, President; Beverly Kleist, Vice-President; Leslie Wilkins, Secretary; Sella Wineberg.

Senior Class D ay "Cry Havoc" by Allan Kenward, presented by the Senior Class in the latter part of April, told a story of valiant American nurses on the Bataan Peninsula just before their defeat by the Japanese Army. An efficient doctor, her poised assistant, and nine volunteer nurses composed the cast. The plot of the play created a tense situation which was effectively dramatized. The Seniors chose this play to indicate their realization of the changes brought about by World War II in the first half of the Twentieth Century. With the invaluable aid and direction of Mrs. Constance Foils, they gave a highly commendable performance. �■ i I 1 I Row Row Row Row Row Row 1—Georgia Olsen, 2—Marliss Lockwood, President Wilma Jean Nelson. 3—Ellen Huddleson, Secretary; Rosalind Richardson, Patricia Lewis 4—Carolyn Averill, Treasurer,- Audrey Welch, Gloria Holman, Iris Ann Holman. 5—Mary Leisman, Leslie Wilkins, Martha Stearns, Beverly Kleist, Floy Von Groenewald, Vice-President. 6—Lois Roop, Penny McKenzie, Anne Hart, Ann Ellsperman, Mr. Strachan, Adviser,- June Dunbar, Alice Keeton, Mary Lou Johnson, Betty Schoolmaster, B Sharp Club This mid-century year has been an especially active one for the B Sharp Club, which is composed of members selected by Mr. Strachan. For the first time the club participated as an organization in charge of its own concessions at the Junior Carnival, and the candy and ice cream booths were very profitable to the group. During the year B Sharp Club acted as the choir in the morning chapel services. New maroon choir robes complimented the appearance of the group. The club presented numbers at the Christmas Program and May Fete; gave a concert at Trinity Episcopal Church in April; and in May presented a delightful operetta.

Their activities for the .year included an enjoyable dinner at a Spanish restaurant and the sale of leis at the Junior Carnival. In the spring the members prepared an Easter basket which was sent to a family in need. �May Fete The traditional May Fete heralds the entrance of spring. The annual affair is ruled over by the May Queen and her royal court, who are selected by the student body from members of the Senior class The ruler of festivities this year was lovely Nancy Collins. Her court was composed of six pretty princesses—Nancy Sigurdson, Veneefa Cowley, Carole Newfson, Bette Davidson, Marliss Lockwood and Ann Ellsperman. The court appeared in matching ballerina length gowns of pale blue, champagne and pink. Queen Nancy wore a gown of white. After presiding over the ceremonies of her royal court, Queen Nancy I attended a formal dance given in her honor. �Seated—Veneeta Cowley, Carole Newtson, Marilyn Bernstein, Julie Franchere, Nancy Collins, Marliss Lockwood, Martha Stearns, Mary Lou Elliott, Bette Davidson, Nancy Sigurdson.

Ski Club "Bend ze Knees!" That cry was familiar to all the members of the ski club, who appropriately dubbed themselves, the "Sitzmarks." Midst singing and laughter'the girls journeyed to Mt.

This year, as in the past, the volleyball team participated in the Park Bureau Tourna­ ment. The team also played during the Northwest Play Day in April. The enthu­ siasm of the team members was responsible for much of the school spirit shown in 1949 and 1950. ��I J t. \ J ��Reverie By SELLA WINEBERG A date with a man Would be oh so nice But instead I sit home Reading lovelorn advice I’d even consider A date with a boy But instead I 'sit home Reading Roseanna McCoy. I guess I don’t have What people call attraction Men look upon me As a horrible faction. But when I grow older, And get me a house, I’ll still have my books In place of a spouse. Wh i m sey Delphic Contribution By JOAN GORDON By ANN ELLSPERMAN White winged air, brushing the boundless depths of space, ITry- Is burning softly through the shadows of my soul, Dry! And as this Russet flame of reverie dies, Sigh— I dream alone Cry, Among the gray ashes Of reality. Why?’ �Longing and Remembrance By ANN HART Like a passionate lover s kiss As it gently grazes a maiden’s hair, Does the deep, intense, mysterious Egyptian night Steal softly, exuding the captured, heady perfume Of every living thing. With the tense, quiet atmosphere of a mortal feud Combine the torrid stillness of a desert plain And you II, in part, conceive that night from any other so estranged, So calm, so young, yet with a subtle poignance Which breathes both pain and ecstacy. With a touch of that dead, anguished longing Which an ancient pharoah’s daughter may have felt And perhaps still feels in her immortal tomb, The queen of all the nightly essences slips noiselessly To rule from above. Oh magic night, when shall I e’er recall your touch, Your sweet caress, your gentle sigh? Shall I for ever more be banned from feeling Your warm presence, so full of implications My soul cannot possess? H-Bomb By JULIE FRANCHERE The cold bitter wind wails As it passes through the dead city, Stirring the dust. �Wind and Rain By JOAN GORDON Winner of ihe Delphic Cup Have your ever walked through the misty calm of wind and rain? Have you ever felt thecaress of a million intangible jewels beating a rhythmic pattern against the cloudy veil of night7 Have you ever seen the bare, stark trees resplendent in a tiara of sparkling diamonds? Have you ever seen them bend their slender branches like graceful dancers in the ceaseless wind? Have you ever stopped to notice the glory and enchantment of a world clothed in the brilliant garb of shimmering rain—each object distinct in its spangle of twinkling gems? The cool chant of the wind, the keen whip of the rain are a soothing solace to a weary, despair-worn soul. Some say the rain is a cherub’s harpstrings,- or perhaps it is the tears of the angels weeping over the follies of man. Whatever it might be, there is nothing quite comparable to its gentle sweetness to comfort or to beautify, for there is charm in the commonest things of life. You have only to open your imagination to find a riff of enchantment and loveliness about you. Seek this infinite beauty wherever you go, and you are sure to find it. �I Hall Honors 1948 - 1949 Class day af St. Helen’s Hall is the traditional time for the presentation of awards to girls who have been outstanding in their achievements.

The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. St. Helen's Hall was an all-girls school that pre-dated Oregon Episcopal School. In 1969, the yearbook evolved into The Legend-Delphic with the addition of Bishop Dagwell Hall and male student attendees. After 1986 the yearbook branding begins to singularly list "OES" with a few volumes referencing "The Delphic" or "The Legend Delphic". Yearbooks helped to chronicle the school year's events and activities, in addition to listing each student and staff member.

Death and madness await her embrace She’ll send your soul into hell She’s none but the spawn of the devil A tale no man lives to tell ; She’ll leave you to waste in the marshland And you’ll burn for the touch of her hand With your mind half-crazed you will wander Her mocking laughter, a brand You’ll wander till flesh won’t hold you Till you plunge in swampy mire Till the vampires of the night come to claim you To burn in the devil’s fire Swift through the mesh of the jungle Where the sun can not fall Weird by the dark-depthed water Echoes the Marsh Nymph's call JOAN GORDON 33 1 �I First Row: Princess Belly Ann,.

The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. St. Helen's Hall was an all-girls school that pre-dated Oregon Episcopal School. In 1969, the yearbook evolved into The Legend-Delphic with the addition of Bishop Dagwell Hall and male student attendees. After 1986 the yearbook branding begins to singularly list "OES" with a few volumes referencing "The Delphic" or "The Legend Delphic". Yearbooks helped to chronicle the school year's events and activities, in addition to listing each student and staff member.
