To that end do we dedicate all that we are, all that we are capable of becoming; and for that end we shall sacrifice all other consid­ erations. We will, with the help of God, be the dawn of light in the darkness, the prom­ ise of peace and its fulfillment. In this Spring of nineteen hundred forty-three, we stand in firm allegiance to our country, proud to be part of the immortal heritage of a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. — Carolyn Bowers Collett �h- n % i!; i I j: M §> i ■ - i ?dt The fountain of perpetual peace flows there, �I } l : :• r‘ *( !

America has given you a basis for living; To America you owe a return. To the world you are responsible for a workable conception of freedom. May you accept your responsibility in the American way; May you contribute to your country that individual development which leads to national growth; May you help America to bring to the world that freedom to which you have been born; May you have some part in bringing into this universe a measure of that truth which makes men free. — Gertrude Houk Fariss �FACULTY ANDERSON, CHARLOTTE M Physical Education B S , Miami University BAHRS, DR.

Sept 19—Classes started and brought to a close a perfect freshman week All good things must end! Sept. 24—Today we had the first student body meeting of the year. Dorothy Hart was elected secretary, and Peggy Jacobson and Margaret Broten were elected freshmen representatives. Green ribbons for the freshmen and entertainment exacted from the freshmen gave an informal air to the meeting. We sopho­ mores liked ill Oct. 16—I don't feel so well, diary. The freshmen gave us too much wonderful food at their party tonight I wonder if they could have had an ulterior motive? Oct 22—Oh, my back aches from picking up those enormous apples at Hood River, and my stomach aches from eating them!

The fall informal this evening was a big success. I wonder who fell for whom? Nov. 29—Stunt night! We really had a good old-fashioned time. Delta Psi Omega put on "She Was Only a Farmer's Daughter." We all felt quite wicked, drinking cider from beer mugs and banging on the tables Dec. 10—Jingle bells and crystal snowballs decorated Scadding Hall for the winter formal. Everything familiar was touched by the magic of a mid winter-night s dream. Just belv/een the two of us, diary, my dream had a tinge of nightmare! i 1 Jan. 18—Woe is me; woe is me.

April 27—Note I didn't catch up on my sleep! April 30—You'll have to hand it to the acting class, diary They gave "Letters to Lu­ cerne" tonight, and every one is still weeping. The play will probably be talked about for some time to come. May 1—Smooth, diary, smooth! That's the only way to describe the spring informal at the Lakehouse Smooth! May 6—I never saw so much work done at once in all my life! The sophomores mowed lawns while the freshmen manned the rakes at Campus Day today We dug and hoed and swept and cleaned and built booths, etc. On all counts I'm about dead tonight. May 7—Queen Betty ruled graciously over the May Carnival Fun was had by all May 22—Delta Psi Omega Awards tea. Pale pink roses and candlelight everywhere . . all in honor of the ' behind-the-scenes'' workers in the drama department! May 23—Baccalaureate Sunday! Flowing robes and swelling organ music filled our hearts with their beautiful significance. The Torchlight Procession and choos­ ing of new Angelas members completed the inspiration of this day. May 24—I'd like to meet the person who invented exams! May 28—The sophomore dinner, and the last dance of the year—the spring formal. The nostalgia of our final class gathering mingled with the gaiety of the for­ mal was almost too much for some of us! May 29—Commencement, an end and a beginning!

Secretary-Treas The fourteen members of the 1943 graduating class have con­ tributed extensively to all activities of the Junior College. They not only have taken active part in the social functions but have been well represented on the honor roll as well. The last few weeks before graduation were spent in a flurry of activity and excitement. Money-making projects, such as the auctioning of box lunches and the sponsoring of the dance and of a booth for the Carnival, were among the many springtime activities which claimed the attention and efforts of class members. On May 23, the graduates heard an inspiring Baccalaureate address delivered by the Very Reverend Charles M. Guilbert, at Trinity Episcopal Church. They gathered at the college in the evening for the traditional and very inspirational Torchlight Pro­ cession The concluding social function of the year was the Sophomore banquet at the Multnomah hotel. Here the girls spent a last en­ joyable evening together before they became almumnae of St Helen's Hall Junior College. r I •V .. < �CLASS OF '43 ARNSBARGER.

Shireen Hall, Elia Leibold, and Dorothy Hari were editor and assistant editors, respectively. They were assisted by Barbara Crawford as advertising manager and Rhoda Thurm as business manager.

The acting class, Dorothea Thomas, Roberta Perkins, Elia Leibold. and Eleanor Dodson, gave this scintillating satire on freshman life with a spirit of fun that captured the whole audience. Candy, pop-corn, and punch added material refreshment to an evening of laughter. Intrigue, damsels in distress, and handsome heroes brightened the Novem­ ber gloom in the Delta Psi Omega Stunt Night presentation of "She Was Only a Farmer’s Daughter ' Refreshing mugs of cider and bags of creamy peanuts lent atmosphere to this old-fashioned melodrama To make the spirit of the gay nineties more vivid, an olio, the dramatization of old songs, was also given The audience showed its appreciation by responding with violent cheering and equally violent booing With the coming of the new year drama forsook hilarity and reflected the stern influence of war In January, the four members of the acting class gave a most impressive and appropriate program for the sixth annual experimental night Scenes from four current war plays were adapted by Carolyn Bowers Collett, the director, and were produced in purely experimental style without setting or costume The players were invited to repeat this production for the annual Oregon State Theatre conference at the Civic Theatre. Those who attended seemed to be deeply moved by the solemn message of the play The dramatic finale of the school year came in April when "Letters to Lu­ cerne by Fritz Rotter and Allen Vincent was presented Again the theme of war dominated the performance "Letters to Lucerne" is the story of an ex­ clusive girls' school in Switzerland and the effect war. as depicted through letters received from home, has upon the friendship and love of the girls. Outstanding in the cast were Dorothea Thomas and Roberta Perkins, who, in their respective roles of a German girl and a Polish girl, gave sensitive and moving portrayals of the heart-breaking relationships brought about through war - m • «v» ;i .

Judging points were style, suitability, and originality. Winner for the second year in the selfmade dress group was Elia Leibold in a lavender linen frock trimmed with bands of white lace daisies. Dorothy Hart's fresh blue and white dirndl with its block-printed skirt took honors in the purchased class.

The cadet officers heading the drill program v/ere Cadet Colonel Dorothea Thomas, in charge of both high school and college training squads; Cadet Major Winifred Coward, who headed col­ lege activities; and Cadet Captains Betty McCluskey, Ruth Curry, Jean Oshanic, and Dorothy Hart, who directed individual squads.

The small modernistic clock on the old-fashioned highboy threw its arms straight up, feigning horror at the hour A ruffled white curtain floated gently on the breeze from a half-open window. The robust shouts of my small twin boys who played below melted into a symphony of sound that drifted quietly into the stillness of the upper story. The sweet-faced miss of the Age of Inno­ cence smiled complacently down at me. A fuzzy panda bear and a baby doll smiled at me from their nest among the lacy pillows on a twin bed. The still figure on the gold crucifix hanging in the corner reflected its message of peace and gentleness. v. ••i ; ■.? i, . ii.ii '.

Its mate lay forlornly on the floor beside a small deflated heap of white satin and lace An open closei door disclosed a regimental row of multi-colored garments. The folds of a sheer, white dancing dress fell from a hangar hooked precariously over the top of the door The snowy white pillow accented the mop of golden-brown curls which lay upon it A pale blue blanket revealed the lines of a firm young figure v/hich lay beneath. A dance program hung slackly from a tightly clutched silken cord. My eyes turned from the bed and its occupant to the table which stood beside it.

The fates have been against me. I undoubtedly was born under an unlucky star You see, I am an unlortunate being who has an older sister. While it has always been impressed upon me how for­ tunate I am, having one only three years my senior, still I maintain that the class of older sisters should be destroyed from this earth In order to prove just what older sisters are made of (definitely not of sugar, spice, and everything nice), I shall use my dearly beloved relation as an example. "Will you please try to coordinate your muscles and walk across the room and put your coat away!" or "Stupid! Don't you know the difference between singing and howling? — and if you must sing, go into the other room and shut the door," or "Mother, for goodness sakes, I know that I didn't act like that when I was her age." Incidentally, those remarks are all made in the most sarcastic of tones. I have been told that the very first day that I arrived home from the hospital, being a “little bundle from heaven," my dear sister, after listening to me whimpering softly (all right, screaming loudly), was heard to say "Mommy, make that big dolly stop crying." This proves that she was the forceful type even at the tender age of three Another perfectly hateful characteristic that my sister has, is her size. While I am a perfectly huge person, she is only five feet high, and her smallness complicates matters greatly. While she can wear my clothes by merely turning up the hem, I would look just a bit crazy wearing hers — for I am simply not the type who can wear my skirts inches above my knees. l f k ■ f : When we are together, people look me up and down and say, "My, she is large, isn't she?" while upon seeing sister, they chorus, "Isn't she sweet?" One would think that these factors would be enough to contend wiih, but there is still another point which particularly adds to the others — my sister's intelligence. She is a "brain." I, who am just the opposite, finding it difficult to solve the simplest problems, often go to her, in all innocence, trusting her to furnish the explanation without a thought But what does she reply? "I always get along without any explanation, so why shouldn't you?" Oh, it's very discouraging! ; : Of course, at times, sister has a very maternal feeling towards me — at the wrong times. For instance, when I am going to go out on a date and want to make a very good impression, just as we go out the door, sister will sv/eetly say, "Have a good time, children " : I truly realize that all older sisters are not like mine — perhaps some of them are even human! At least I hope so. But don't misunderstand me. I love my sister. — Elsa lean Cordova i ■ ! �, V . , 8s P:»> . !• • : p- ' -|d ' . . w k,^JJ \A ViVJ U £'V- tfe { ■.•••.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The coronation ceremonies beginning with the royal processional, the |esters prancing along in mock dignity beside their petite ruler, have progressed to their climax as the Prime Minister (Mrs Fariss) places the crown of white flowers on the head of the new sovereign, proclaiming, "I crown thee Queen Barbara I ". Now comes the first royal edict of Queen Barbara, officially opening the evening to merry-making.

During Freshman Week, the new students were to be introduced to the drama department via College Doze, the first performance of the year. After a series of fun-packed rehearsals, the ploy was ready to be presented- A Lowly Freshman, portrayed by Ruth Wacker, under the wing of an Academic Guide played by Mary-Helen Duffy, was led through the trials and tribulations of a mythical college life, m which she underwent registration, sorority pledging, psychological tests, nursery-school training, and selected classes. Hoping that the audience would return at later dates for more serious productions, the drama deport ment bade adieu to what might well be described as "low comedy. Christmas seemed to come earlier than usual, for some reason, and with it came more rehearsals This time, however, the mood was quite different from the first show of the year. Peace and hope were the mes­ sages the girls worked to convey through the production of Women of Bethlehem. Joyous music from two choirs, combined with the soft glow of lighted tapers, added greater meaning to the Angel s prayer for a war-torn world: " . . and may the light that filled the world on that blessed night so long ago bring the promise of peace to all nations and the richness of love to each of you . Christmas vacation brought the beginning of a new year, and with that new year plans were made for the first major production of the season, the Student Players' seventh annual experimental night The date was set for February ninth. An original script was compiled by Mrs Carolyn B Collett from books and plays about the three Bronte sisters of Haworth, England. The title, No Coword Soul '. was taken from the last poem ever written by Emily Bronte, and the nine scenes of the play were introduced by excerpts from poems written either by Emily or by Charlotte Bronte Into the roles of the famous sisters were cast Virginia Torgeson as Charlotte Bronte, June Richards as Emily Bronte, and Beverly Triplett as Anne Bronte. "The creation of a human soul is an unforgetable experience . To the cast of came the tremendous responsibility of portraying characters who had really lived her role with humility, realizing that any misinterpretation on her part would be a "human soul". Several weeks of research acquainted each girl with the intricacies of to depict, including even the minute details of personal correspondence C c E E E E E c E No Coward Soul Each girl approached blasphemy against a the character she was In the staging of this experimental production, the fourth wall ', or proscenium arch, was actually used in the set. A dark purple drapery was hung to stage left, |ust inside the outer stage curtain, only its border revealed. This drapery represented a window in Haworth Parsonage. Whenever an actress stood by it, she v/as gazing, in her character's mind, upon the dismal moors which so influenced the lives of the Bronte sisters. Experimental in nature, also, was the costuming of the play All of the costumes were stylized, being made exactly alike in accordance with one, simple, period pattern, differing only in color. The symbolical value of color was employed to denote the essential qualities or core of each character to be portrayed On the opening night, the before-curtain hush back-stage was momentarily broken when Mrs Collett brought in a small hand-painted picture of pale blue harebells The picture had been painted by Charlotte Bronte herself almost one hundred years ago, and had been brought to the play by a great-niece of Arthur Nicholls, Charlotte s husband It was os though the very spirit of the moors had entered Scadding Hall. Each girl went on stage more resolved than ever to do justice to the story of the Brontes. "No Coward Soul . . " was twice repeated during March for the benefit of the Red Cross War Fund Having once given the play for their own creative and aesthetic satisfaction, the girls were anxious and willing to repeat it for such a cause and in this way to prove that the theatre can have a definite place in a world at war Reluctantly, oh, so very reluctantly, the girls closed the prompt book for No Coward Soul . and began rehearsals for the spring play.. John Van Druien's Old Acquaintance A far cry from Haworth Parson­ age on the Yorkshire moors and from the Pensionnat Heger in Brussels, a duplex flat in Greenwich Village and a Park Avenue apartment in New York were the new stage sets for Scadding Hall The girls were now to learn that even so-called "sophisticated comedy' must be created with truth and absolute sincerity. As the rehearsals progressed, the underlying drama was revealed. The girls realized that to feel intense emotion and cover it with sparkling repartee took even greater ability than to portray unconcealed emotion. May tenth and eleventh saw the final performances of the Student Players of 1944-1945 The academic year had been filled with rehearsals, rehearsals, rehearsals; but each girl found herself infinitely richer in human experience and understanding after even a brief submerging of her own personality in another char acter, for, although the performance is the technical goal of rehearsals, the perfection of a role may often be reached in the rehearsal room. Truly each girl learned to develop " . . the creative spark which burns as a flame in the soul of each of us. t E 6=1 fc? E fc* t ti ta E E E t E * �I .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

By the pathway’s bending, Beneath the tallest tree, Shining yellow buttercups Wink their eyes at me. h On the top of every fencepost fc fc fc A tuft of moss appears To be listening to the taunting Of the bluejay’s mocking jeers. Underneath the footbridge, FOREST CATHEDRAL Our wraps of stress and strain we lay aside And gladly loose the girdling sense of haste, To don this forest hush. And wear this silence— Sun and shadow slide Into mosaics . . . Firs with priestly pride Waft incense . . . River voices plead and rush through rosaries . . . Nunlike, a gentle thrush Dips holy water . . . A/oments meet and glide Into a timeless whole . . . Hours no longer beat Against the v/eary brain . . . Release is in the very air . . And all paths climb to peace . . . And God Himself moves in the fastness there, Weaving garbs of stillness that we wear.

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

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

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

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

Each year, Forum strives to add beauty to the Quad by planting flowers. Get-togethers are really supper parties at the homes of the various members. It is really not necessary to hold business meetings, as Forum s work is done at school — but we do so love to eat! As they leave the Hall, Forum members will carry with them, deep in their hearts, a glowing conception of the |oy of service. The inner satisfaction derived from their work will indeed be a lasting one. 3 .3 3 3 3 3 i 3 3 : t ! �f £ rf ri c: !■ ri f t:; t \; r : I r: t: ; r ■ I : r: i n t! ! r i I r—* 71 71 n □ ' : DELTA PSI OMEGA The Katherine Cornell cast of Delta Psi Omega, national fraternity in dramatic art, was founded by those in the College who maintained an active interest in the creative arts of the theatre. They carried this interest into life itself, since the stage is inspired by life, and members of this year's cast hope to follow in the same path. Membership is granted to those who give freely of their time and efforts to the dramatic activities of the year, who have maintained high scholastic standing, and who have carried out their respon­ sibilities as pledges. r~i Traditionally, Delta Psi Omega presents dramatic entertainment during Freshman Week. This year Just Call It Evolution" featured the Delta Psi girls in various aspects of school life, as St. Helen's Hall appeared in 1896 and 1946. "Burt's Bakery," our favorite haunt, featured cookies as refreshments. < November brought "The Faces of Dekka" and good fortunes for all. Far-seeing Delta Psis foretold the future, while others served Chinese tea and rice cakes, thus depleting the treasury considerably. During iarwjary and April, with the production of Stage Door and Blithe Spirit, Delta Psi members were given the opportunity to test their artistry in creating roles. 71 C] 1 i r ' 71 71 7 r ? With April came the solemn beauty of initiation, the fulfillment of the pledges' hopes, as they become members of Delta Psi Omega. June, with the blooming of the first rose, brings with it each year the Awards Tea and the recognition of those who have most truly lived Delta Psi ideals. As summer comes and members of Delta Psi go their separ­ ate ways, they will leave one another, as always in the past, with their "hearts bound together in this one brotherhood" and the ideals of Delta Psi alive within each one ' rr^ 77 rr~ �r £ ! 3 £ 3 3 3 3 ! ■ 3 I 3 3 3 3 a S'; 3 3 3 3 a a 3 E 3 g ? 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 UNDERSTUDY CLUB Understudy Club, sponsored by Delta Psi Omega, has an active part in the dramatic life of the College. From it comes everything from the "screaming voice heard offstage" to the ticket-takers at the door. Mem­ bership is open to all who are willing to give proof of this dramatic talent before an open meeting. Installation of new officers is made impressive with vows taken by candle light, in which each officer promises to uphold the ideals of the Hall in the theatre. Taking its cue from the Delta Psi sponsors, the nesv group plans its own program of activities. The group this year was well represented both offstage and on in Delta Psi's stunt night production, "The Faces of Dekka", and in the Christmas program Then came the weeks of rehearsals for Stage Door, the winter production. Many of the Understudies had lines to learn as well as curtains to pull and sets to arrange. Not to be forgotten is the delicious coffee they served at Saturday morning rehearsals For fun, Understudy's Valentine date dance at the Lakehouse was "tops". Long-remembered, too, will be the slumber party in March, at which the old-timers feted new members with a pot-luck supper. Spring, appropriately enough, brought with it Blithe Spirit. Understudy came to the rescue once more with costumes and "props" and time and patience.

Girls from all over Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and even far off Montreal, Canada, unpacked their bags in its rooms and planned, as they said, "to stay awhile Shrieks of What luck — I get a room of my own breezed out the windows. Gathered around a cheery fireplace, the girls became better acquainted with Miss Burch, their house counselor, were told of previous existing rules of the house, and then established a few of their own. This was the first of many such pleasant "firesides. The Mothers' Silver Tea, various club meetings, initiations, and informal group discussions found their setting in the attractive living rooms of the "Dorm More than a few times the "Dorm" girls were hostesses for such enjoyable affairs. The dormitory not only served as a college home for its residents but also offered a sanctuary to any and all day students whose desire it was to rest their weary bones — or who just wanted an excuse to get in a "gabfest All in all, the residence house has stood for two good old American words — fun and home! �3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 : 3 * a r: y * i t 5 t CHORUS Chorus acknowledged, with great enthusiasm, the opening of the fall term of '46. Sopranos, second sopranos, and altos ushered in what proved to be a year of musical festivity. Under the able direction of Mrs. Feme Epler, Chorus spent a great part of the first term feverishly pre­ paring and rehearsing for the Christmas program. The theme, effectively chosen and presented, was “One World at Christmas Representatives from the junior college, high school, and lower school depicted through song, pantomime, and modern interpretative dancing, the Yuletide traditions and spirit of many lands. Erstwhile "saddle and "loafer clad" girls were transformed into gray-robed carolers. After much effort French, Spanish, and Chinese Christmas carols were mastered and presented by the group. "Silent Might", sung in Chinese, was received with enthusiasm. But cur grand finale was Handel s mighty Halelujah Chorus from the Messiah, in which all the choruses |oined in a fitting conclusion to our first all-school Christmas program. 3 r.3 A change to chic black dresses and precious nylons came as the Chorus sang for the Mothers’ Club annual Silver Tea, held on St. Valentine's Day at the Residence House. We all sang our best, hoping that our mothers would think we were really professional. 3 With a final burst of activity, the College Singers presented a Spring musical. Audience approval stamped the program an unquestioned success and a fitting climax to a year of delightful music interludes. r: n 3 l t i i3 i, �! ' r! Ei Sq ] H ■ t! 1 t! 'I t: * : I n r: 1 i : r • n i :' si t !: SCINTILLA STAFF Once again the sophomore class, just bubbling over with ideas, set out to make their year book, the Scintilla, the best ever. With high hearts and fervent hope they undertook to “scintillate" their Scintilla, spic­ ing it with a little fun, adding the spirit of real friendship, and blending in the college's cherished traditions All efforts were combined to squeeze as much as possible of the two chuck-packed years of college life into one cherished record. Officers were elected and appointed and immediately began to work/ The Ad staff, composed almost solely of peppy and willing freshmen, sprang into step and invaded various places of business in strong numbers. “Quickies" were constantly being held in the sanctuary of Mrs. Fariss' office by the staff’s advice seekers. Scintillas of other years received a good dusting off, as the staff thumbed through them to gather a few more intriguing ideas. An art contest was sponsored by the Staff to intensify the already enthusiastic activity. Sophomores rushed down for their appointments at the photographers, and in turn the photographers came to the campus to take activity pictures. All subjects obliged as the black-hooded camera clicker announced the “birdie", and all willingly said “cheese." Indecision followed decision, and again decision followed indecision as choices had to be made in regard to what “bits" would be included in the annual. And eager questions of, “Do you like this proof better than that one? Please tell me; I'm fran­ tic!" were exchanged by distracted sophomores. At last all important conclusions were reached, and the Class of 1947 reached the climax of its great adventure. The Scintilla was sent to the printer! Breathing became easier! Now it's just a matter of having every one sign every one's else Scintilla. Nostalgic students will take last precautions to tuck this memoir gently away, so that the beloved experiences of days at the Hall may be relived during the years to come. > < n i : i ai S : 3' i ir~i :i t■ ; t* I t 6 !

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

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

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

As we grow older, we may often lose sight of the magic light of beauty. But sooner or later we all realize its ethereal presence How easy it is to lose for a moment our realization of beauty 3 and the ultimate truths derived from it But like fading music and summer rain, the memory of it somehow 3 clings to us. 3 3 -t We may look upon physical beauty and be warmed, but ultimate perfection lies beyond the ephemeral moment. It is an intrinsic part of a far greater pattern of life. If we can envision loveliness in our hearts, no matter how much we are tried by life's adversities, beauty and the ultimate spiritual truths to which its leads will always be within us. 3 Now we come to the end and the beginning. But the end and the beginning are one. Thus we may re­ 3 capture the beauty we have known thus far and continue on life's way — our spirits filled with beauty, our 3 hearts filled with truth. 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 i —NANCY STARKWEATHER. i | I ■ ; �W I I 1 11 E! Morning Mood Home is in the country on the slope of a small hill, overlooking a valley with majestic snow-covered mountains in the distance, keeping their vigil over fruitful farms, forests, and rivers. The beautiful blossoms on the fruit trees dance and sparkle in the morning sunlight. The white blossoms of the cherry trees fall slowly to the ground as if hesitating to disturb the snowy bank beneath.

The street lights cast a pale yellow glow in this sea of hovering darkness. Hours grew and the night thickened and wavered. The still atmosphere was intensified by the low moan of a thousand wailing night sounds. They seemed like lost ghostly children, mourning at the gates of paradise. Hate, fear, and bitterness floated in waves of vapor s t■ 0 £5 around the lambent post. A shadowy semblance of a ghoul flitted into the circle of light and hovered It" momentarily. The air was shivered by a terrorized moan, as the ghoul darted out of the light.

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

Greeted by perfect weather., over 700 students returned to campus with their parents on September 7, 1994, to kick off the 125th Anniversary of Oregon Episcopal School. The School’s long history in Portland was honored on this occasion with the presence of SHH, BDH and OES alumni and special guests, including the Royal Rosarians, who planted the OES 125th Anniversary rose in honor of the occasion. Over 1,000 brass bells were rung in succession by students, parents, alumni, faculty and staff, and a banner-toting airplane proclaimed the anniversary celebration. The 125th Anniversary Song was sung by all, and the fifth grade carried out their traditional bell ringing. This year, there were 125 rings of the bell that has followed the School since its founding in 1869. A reception for alumni and special guests followed in the 125th Commemorative Rose Garden, where the new School rose has been planted. In keeping with the momentous nature of this special year, this fall edition of The OES Belltower is devoted to the memories of our alumni. Reflected in the photos, quoted anecdotes, and excerpts from School publications is the spirit of Oregon Episcopal School which has endured throughout the past 125 years. 3 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �AUTUMN 19 9 4 Opening Day Kicks Off The 125th!

English, and religion teacher for sophomores and juniors, Cynthia filled her current post of college counselor in 1977, and has turned that program into a curriculum staple for OES juniors and seniors. The college counseling pro­ gram includes a handbook for OES students and their parents, which Cynthia wrote, and period­ ic informational meetings, includ­ ing visits from college admissions officers. Cynthia herself routinely visits colleges and attends National Association of College Admission Counselors and College Board meetings. During Winterim, she holds a one week A AUTUMN 19 9 4 introductory program for juniors, called College Decisions, and throughout the academic year there is intensive, one-on-one advising for Seniors before, dur­ ing and after the college applica­ tion process. In an interview with The OES Belltower in its Autumn, 1992 issue, Cynthia reflected on the ways in which the School had changed—and remained the same—over the past 25 years since she joined the staff: OES has become a much more informal place. When Mrs. Fariss walked through the Great Hall 25 years ago, everyone stood up...Uniform regulations were rigid. And 25 years ago, no one would have dreamed of calling me Cynthia. Some of the best things have remained constant. This School has always had a sense of com­ munity—almost like a family. OES also has a love of—almost celebrates—the individual... And, I guess finally, we have a respect for learning. It’s one of our keystones. We are able to inculcate a love of learning. Today, Cynthia emphasizes that, like OES, her job as college counselor has evolved. ▲ Cynthia Doran counsels an earnest member of the senior class. "The emphasis at OES has always been on academic suc­ cess, and hand-in-hand with that emphasis is the desire for our stu­ dents to go to what is thought of as a ‘great college’,” Cynthia says. “But I also think that students today understand more than ever that they need to find a good match. They're looking for a col­ lege experience that is right for them as individuals." Sister Agatha Louise, the principal., was my favorite teacher. She was so firm, but so kind. The strict regimentation was only a part of the total experience, but helped me realize the importance of self-discipline. The Sisters were wonderful!

OES head­ masterfrom 1982 through 1990. T his is where "We" belong. We belong in a place that holds life’s stories both joyful and painful. We belong in a place that remembers those who gave it life. OES is such a place. In the seven years I have been a part of OES I have never seen this school—this community— look to the future without first taking courage and wisdom from its past. Whether on the playing field, in the classroom, in a faculty or board meeting or in the dorm, there is the constant question that underlies every decision, and the life of this com­ munity: “Does what we are doing today honor those who came before us?” I am pleased to say that it does. I have never heard anyone say "OES used to be such a good school." Sure, the School has changed—it’s designed to. Life is supposed to go on. But through the years and all the changes, students, parents, alumni, faculty and staff have continued a tradition of excel­ lence that goes back 125 years. Today we honor 19 people who have lived that tradition and passed it on to us. I teach in the Middle School and...Mary Reynolds is among those we remember today. Her grand­ daughter, Margaret Reynolds, just received the Faculty Award for outstanding scholarship and positive contributions to the OES community. The tradition goes on. The lights of our past show the way for our future. —Homily delirervd by Middle School Chaplain Mike Devenney.

Appropriately, the Everglade is now owned by an alumna of St. Helens Hall, Shirley Fulton Coan ‘32, who moved there with her husband and three children in the 1960s. The house remains much the same today as it was in the '30's. In 1950, The Rev. Lansing Kempton purchased Everglade from the Sisters who directed St. Helens Hall, but made only minor changes to the house. Shirley and her husband Ralph have remodeled the house over the years since they bought it, but only under the original roofline. The dormitory for the girls from St. Helens Hall and the Junior College is now the mas­ ter bedroom, and the many Everglade, then and now. small bathrooms (which “never worked,” Shirley laughs) are now a galley kitchen. There ize the best, outside of the woods, that is! Marjorie Anderson Cesolini ‘71 A Students from St. Helens Hall enjoy their moments away from studying in 1886.

The Coan's family room now lies where St. Helens Hall girls and the Sisters used to gather for chapel ser­ vices on Sunday mornings. Many of the same huge fir trees still surround Everglade, although a grove of about twenty which stood by the lake were cut down by Father Kempton, presumably because they blocked the view. Shirley, who was a school teacher for many years in West Linn and Lake Oswego, and remains a flourishing watercolor artist, has many memories of her times at Everglade as a stu­ dent at St. Helens Hall. “I remember the Sisters used to pull their habits up and lie them behind their backs, to go out in the canoes and motor boat,* she laughs. “We had a lot of fun here!” AUTUMN 19 9 4 eating donuts with some students.

Participation, Top Facilities and Fun: A Winning Combination i OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL n the past twenty years since Athletics Director Kris Van Hatcher 70 first joined the staff at Oregon Episcopal School, its sports program has changed a great deal. “We’ve always had strong teams," Kris emphasizes, "but in the past ten years the sports pro­ gram has really gotten stronger." Over the past five years, more than 80 OES athletes have received individual recognition including All-League and AllState honors. The girls soccer team won the State Champion­ ship in 1993, and the boys track team was the District Champion in 1994. OES fencers have been the State Champions every year since 1988, and both the girls’ and boys’ tennis teams have won the State Championship for the past two years, with the girls' team taking the singles champi­ onship and the boys’ winning the doubles championship for the last tv/o years. The success, Kris says, can be partly attributed to a variety of facility changes at the School. The new Yanagitani track, donat­ ed by OES parents Kazunori and Tei Yanagitani in 1988, the addi­ tion of SPARC during the same year, and the improvements to the School’s three outdoor soc­ cer fields have given the sports program an extra edge, in both practice and competition. Since Kris became the head of the program 10 years ago, he has also made a real effort to create a philosophy among his staff which reflects the belief that success in athletics is only part of the equa­ tion Participation and fun, he says, are just as important. He also emphasizes that a great deal of the success of the OES athlet­ ic program can be attributed to a staff that follows through on this 16 philosophy and brings it out in the students who participate. The “no cut policy" means that as long as students have the desire to play, they can be mem­ bers of a team and will play on a regular basis, regardless of their level of achievement. OES has had 80% participation over the past ten years, despite the chal­ lenge of balancing schoolwork and sports. “It’s got to be difficult," Kris acknowledges, "But I really believe that it makes the kids more organized overall, and gives them more energy." Another tribute to the success of the athletic program at OES came when four of its coaches— Kris, Coleen Conkey, Mike Devenney and Rich Sherwood— were named Coach of the Year on either the District or State Level during the 1993-’94 school year. “The bottom line is that OES is blessed with talented kids who are also really intelligent," Kris says. "Kids can get an excellent education at OES, as well as a strong athletic program, where they’ll play more and get more individual attention than at other schools." �AUTUMN 19 9 4 ; : ▲ The basketball team of 1933, which was undefeatedfor six years. ▲ St. Helens Hall students from the Ski Group of 1951 pose on Oregon slopes. and when everyone was in their rooms, the boy inside broke out and opened the dorm doors to several more boys who promptly partied with the girls!

For this issue of The OES Belltower, Cart Reynolds has written a story of the beginnings of their family's involvement with the School. The “second chapter" willfollow in the spring edition of the magazine. Fall 1994 signalled the beginning of the 125th anniversary of Oregon Episcopal School Throughout the past cen­ tury and a quarter; the loyalty of the School's former students, faculty, staff par­ ents and extendedfamilies has remained time, as a tribute to the strength of its acade­ mics and to the spirit within its walls. When my youngest daughter, Kathy, was graduated from the OES Upper School in 1971, my wife Mary and I calculated that our four children had been involved in over 50 years of education at St Helens Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall and Oregon Episcopal School! How did this happen, and what brought about such loyalty? One of the finest examples of this allegience has been displayed over the past five decades by the Reynolds family. Allfour children of Carl and Maty Reynolds were enrolled in and graduatedfrom the School during the 50s, ‘60s and ‘70s. Carl Reynolds and his father were both faculty members at St. Helens Hall Now, a new generation of Reynolds are attending Oregon Episcopal School. Lower and Middle School students Mackenzie and Margaret Reynolds are the children of Chuck Reynolds ‘70 BDH and his wife, Chris. Chuck was, himself, a member of the faculty of Oregon Episcopal School after graduating from Bishop Dagwell Hall A Carl Reynolds formerparent and faculty member, and grandparent of current IS student Mackenzie and MS student Margaret. Sadly, Maty Reynolds passed away on April 13, 1994, and will be missed by the 26 1 will have to start out by saying that it was my wife Mary who got me involved. It was she who was search­ ing for a pre-school for our second oldest daughter, Becky, and discov­ ered the St. Helens Hall pre-school on the old downtown campus at 13th and Hall Street. At this time our oldest daughter, Lydia, was attending a pub­ lic school on the East side of Portland, and Mary had joined their PTA Mary became aware that she was having problems in her class. We were about to move to the West side of town, and decided to try our daughter out in the 4th grade at St. Helens Hall, �S A Kathy Reynolds ‘71 O F A Margaret Reynolds. OFS Seventh Grader;• Daughter of Christine and Chuck Reynolds 69 BDH There, her teacher noticed at once that Lydia seemed to have trouble seeing. She would come to the front of the room to sharpen a pencil, in order to see what was on the blackboard. The teacher suggested that we have her eyes examined, and we were shocked to find that she couldn’t read the big E on the eye chart! With proper glasses, the whole world became clearer for Lydia. The value of the small classes, personal attention and very caring teachers was dramatically evident to us. We soon found that this was characteristic of the School. Mary quickly became an active parent, attending meetings, joining work parties and learning about the School. One of the things we learned early on was that the School was in a very precarious financial condition. When Mary and I became involved in 1953, Gertrude Fariss had been asked to take over as the head of the School. She had taught there her- L A Mackenzie Reynolds. OHS Fourth Grader: Son of Christine and Chuck Reynolds 69 BDH self as an English teacher, and then had been appointed the head of St. Helens Hall Junior College for 15 years. After the Junior College was closed in 1947 (which she deeply regretted), there was a period of uncertain leadership, until Mrs. Fanss was brought back to take charge of St. Helens Hall in 1954. She had the challenging task of maintaining the School’s high academic standards, small classes, and high moral and spiri­ tual reputation with a most inadequate budget. Mrs. Fariss. by this time, had excellent connections with the academic world, and a talent for finding dedicated and highly qualified teachers who were willing or able to teach for embarrassingly low salaries. This was possible, of course, because the teaching conditions were so favorable, but it was not a healthy situa­ tion, and one of which Mrs. Fariss was acutely aware. Enrollment was always a critical problem. The boarding department was financially the strongest branch of the School. St Helens Hall had always been a boarding school, one of the few still available in the Pacific Northwest. Parents with girls from remote locations all over the West sought it out. The Upper School was hard put to find space for those wanting to enroll. There was more room for day students, however, and the prob­ lem was that of making sure that the School only admitted students who were qualified. This Mrs. Fariss did with rigorous protection of the School’s academic standards. She was very good at suggesting positive alternatives to par­ ents whose children did not meet the School’s requirements. As Mary and I became more familiar with the operation of the School, we realized it was worth all of the support we could give it. The rising financial pressure had resulted in many neglected aspects of the physical plant. The front entrance area of the School had become overgrown and unsightly. The rose gar­ den had disappeared amid tall grass, bushes and overgrown trees. �12 5 O years My father, a pro­ fessor of sociology at Stanford University, had recently retired and returned to Portland where he had grown up. He and I undertook to clean up the School’s front entrance. We felled a number of trees, while Mary stood in the street to stop any traffic as one of the larger ones came down (I do A Carl and bis father Charles Reynolds, not remember that who was also a facult y member at the we had any permit School, clean up the front entrance of to do what we SHH uith helpfrom Rebecca (Class of were doing!). We 1967SHH) and Chuck (Class of‘70 cleaned out up the ROW. area and had George Otten, a landscape architect working on our own property, do some planting around the entrance leading up from the street to the front entrance door. That fall, the traditional Old Girl-New Girl Tea was held in the greatly improved front yard of the School F LOYALTY Another crisis that came up was of a different nature. Just as the School was about to begin a new academic year, Miss McKirdie, the Upper School’s acclaimed history teacher, became seriously ill and had to take the entire year off. Mrs. Fariss was in a real dilemma about how to replace her, and the upshot was that my father and I undertook to teach her class­ es. I was at that time teaching an introductory course in the history of Western Art and Architecture at Portland State College, and it was not hard for me to take over the Ancient and Medieval history course. My father, as an experienced lec­ turer in sociology, took over the modern European History course. We simply had to keep ahead of the students’ assign­ ments, and managed to do so! All of these experiences gave Mary and me an intimate knowledge of the School—its history, traditions, finances and workings. Above all, it gave us a great respect for Mrs. Fariss and her staff and the high quality of the teachers she had assembled. There is a spirit about a school of this kind that makes one feel that there are few things more worthwhile that one can support. That is why we were ready to face a new and more grave threat to the future of the School in 1964, when we learned that a freeway was being planned to run directly through the property we had worked so hard to improve. That, however, is another story. Across 13th Street from the main buildings, the Pre-School was relocating to the lower part of the old Multnomah Athletic Club wooden building, the upper part of which was being torn down Parent work parties were called for, and Mary and I joined many others in cleaning, painting, and laying tile on the floors. Look for the rest of the Reynolds’ stoty in the spring edition of The OES Belltower! Much esprit de corps was generated by those work parties A number of parents were able to donate materials, or ask others to do so. Elizabeth Wright was the head of the PreSchool at that time, and we built a children’s tree house in her honor. Another needed item, a covered play area for Lower School children, was created at this time. A more threatening matter of this era of rejuvenation was the need to meet the requirements of the fire marshal, who was threatening to close the School. By this time Mary was a member of the Board of Trustees, so we knew the full story of the School’s financial distress, and how real the threat of being closed actually was. It was unthinkable that the School be closed, and the neces­ sary funds to prevent this from happening were raised. In fact, a number of fundraising activities were launched by the Board and a group of active and committed parents. One was an annual hobby and antique show, which eventually evolved into the Country Fair. A Maty and Carl Reyniolds with their son Chuck Reymolds 70 HD!I, in the 1990s.

In these pages, we bear witness to the ser­ vice and generosity of friends during 1993-9-1, squarely in the tradition that is a hallmark of our years. i it 1993-94 was a year of extraordinary faith in and support for Oregon Episcopal School. We achieved a record-breaking OES Fund. We con­ cluded the best auction in the School's history, in support of our faculty and staff. We began securing funds to make die visionary dreams of the Master Plan come alive. Our enrollment of just under 700 stu­ dents met our strategic goals for the year. We have poured more atten­ tion into our physical plant. And we have continued growing our endow­ ment and other reserves to provide protection for the future. I add my admiration and thanks to Board President Elisabeth Lyon's tributes to our superb volunteers, with whom we have flourished. And I particularly applaud our faculty, who are, as Elisabeth boasts, the heart of our School. The quality of their lives at OES and their dedication to children exemplify our 125-year tradition of teaching and learning. The Rt. Rev Robert L.

Dear Friends, ow that the 124th year of Oregon Episcopal School has ended, and we have begun the commemorative 125th year, I want to share with you the state of our School and the work of some individuals who have helped to make it such a strong institution. The Mustard Seed provides the opportunity to not only report to you but also to say thank you. The successes of the last year are due to the efforts and the generosity of many people. B y l Financially OES is in excellent health. In the past year all external debt has been eliminated, the endowment has increased and the budget has been well managed Prudent planning has permitted increases in the maintenance account and monies for the purchase and expanded use of computers. Interest in attending OES is strong. Our classes and our "wait pools” at all grade levels are filled, and by tal­ ented young people. After thought­ ful discussion, the Board decided to continue the enrollment at the cur­ rent level and not expand the num­ ber of classes or the class size. This decision was made based on the nature of our programs and the desire to maintain their excellence During the past year, the Board approved a new Master Plan for the OES campus. This outlines the physi­ cal requirements of our School, which are needed to insure our excellence into the 21st century. Subsequently, the Buildings and Grounds Committee, chaired by Dale Stewart, retained architects who prepared schematic designs for a new Middle School and a substan­ tially renovated Upper School. These plans are based on the programmatic needs of each division and were uc m ▲ Board President Elisabeth /. Lyon and her son.

Implementation of the new Master Plan is the largest undertak­ ing by OES, since our School moved to the current campus in 1964! The participation of volunteers over the past year was exceptional. Anne Thanhouser and the Volunteers’ Common Link organized many hours of volunteer commitment in all three divisions of the School. Wendy Hamilton and the creative Auction Committee raised a recordsetting $117,000! And we all will long remember that evening and the fun of being “Wild Things!' With the talented leadership of Pat Karumanos, the 1993-94 OES Fund reached a new high and exceeded $331,000! Sean Kuni ‘81 and the Alumni Association planned numer­ ous events, which brought even more alumni in touch with current life of the School. OES now has a school store, the inspiration and work of parents led by Darlene Kaempf. And thanks to the I2$th Anniversary Committee, co-chaired by Sheryl Acheson and Mendel 31 To our faculty I want to express my great appreciation They are the heart of our School. Many of the suc­ cesses of the past year are due to the commitment, work and leadership of both our faculty and our administra­ tion. I want to thank our Head, Peter Stevens, both for his management of ongoing operatioas and his vision and planning for our School s future. His three able division heads- Anne Cass, Charyl Cathey and Harvey Zendt, in addition to the Director of Development, Sue Nicol, and Director of Admissions, Louisa Zendt, have worked tirelessly My colleagues on the Board of Trustees have been diligent and thoughtful participants in the discus­ sion and conclusion of numerous issues this past year. In particular, 1 want to express my appreciation to the Executive Committee The Right Rev. Robert L. Ladehoff. Sean Gilronan, Chris Kitchel, Jack Spring and Paul Schlesinger have provided great wisdom. This past year the Drinkward Award, which acknowledges outstanding leader­ ship, was given to trustee Peter Bechen. He has served the Board in many capacities including Treasurer and Chair of the OES Pacific Rim Council. And to you. the friends of Oregon Episcopal School. 1 want to say a very special thank you.

In 1993, OES parents Mr. Chai and Mrs. Ing Sophonpanich graciously hosted the sec­ ond gathering in Bangkok. Thailand. Seoul Korea was the site of the 1994 meeting convened in May by OES Trustee and Pacific Rim Council Chair, Peter Bechen, and generously hosted by Dr. Jae Kyu and Mrs. Sun Park. As President of Kyungnam University in Masan, Korea and the Far Eastern Studies Institute in Seoul, Dr. Park arranged Council discussions in an international scholarly environment that was delightfully stimulating. The purpose of the Council is to offer advice on the long term goals of the School and its role as a Pacific Rim institution. This year. Peter Bechen and Board President Elisabeth Lyon presented the OES Master Plan, which details the siting of new and renovated facili­ ties on the OES campus into the 21st century. Hamilton Gregg, former Director of the OES board­ ing program, then dis­ cussed "a day in the life of a boarding student." Boarding is of particu­ lar interest to the Council because a number of their own children are current or recently-graduated OES students, and have come to OES from across the USA and around the world. With a growing awareness of global citi­ zenship. the Council view s the importance of the boarding component in the implementation of the School's long range plans. Upon his return to Portland, Peter Bechen reported back to the ▲ Membets of the 1993-9-i Pacific Kim Adrisoty Council, which represents OES patents, international educators, and business leadets. and whose annual meeting was held in Koiva this past war. 53 \ & �: #■ ■I ' O Ji If JY ‘T ■■£ 'E 'R S Trustees of the discussion shared by Council mem­ bers The Trustees are very7 inierested in having ongoing discussions in the international community.

The program focuses specifically on students who have had limited educational opportunities. This year, classes began in June with a diverse group of 70 middle school students from 13 Portland public schools and 2 Catholic schools, A talented facul­ ty of 26 high school and college students served as teachers and role models.

The program also stresses leadership, Summerbridge and OHS heightened self-esteem, and creativity. The summer ses­ faculty member sions are complimented by school-year tutoring, coun­ seling, and enrichment to ensure comprehensive support. In addition to preparing middle school stu­ dents for success in high school. Summerbridge also serves as a training ground for a new genera­ tion of teachers. For our young faculty members, Summerbridge is a total immersion into the field of education. Summerbridge Ponland is modeled after the original Summerbridge program in San Francisco.

Charitable gifts can unlock this dormant investment and income potential without adverse consequences. In fact, income and financial secu­ rity can be greatly enhanced by these efforts while creating a sizeable benefit for a charitable cause at the same time PLANNED GIFTS: YOU CAN AFFORD IT! 1 Each day our telephone and mail bring us solicita­ tions for donations. The volume of requests numbs our senses. Our immediate impulse is to hang up or throw it away. Yet there are causes or organizations which tug at our con­ sciences. those we really embrace and want to sup­ port. However, the con­ stant throb of unwanted requests creates negative conditioning. We just say no!" or think “dial s impossible!" without really examining the possibilities. In truth, there are many methods of making chari­ table gifts, both large and small. With a little coach­ ing on the menu of options, the seemingly impossible can be done Writing a check is only one method of making a charitable gift. While sim­ ple, it is not necessarily the proper standard by which affordability should be measured if you really want to make a larger gift, fhe picture has to be more complete. “Non-cash" $ IV 1 j\' Cj A D. Charles Alauritz is an aitonicy practicing unth Davis Wright Tremayne, and is thefather of Gwyn Alauritz Walker 87 and Britta Alauritz 94. One of the devices com­ monly used to take advan­ tage of hidden financial capacity is the Charitable Remainder Trust. It is based on a very simple premise: you transfer property to a trust, retain­ ing an income interest for a specific term, and your charity receives the bal­ ance of assets when the term ends. The tax laws grant a very favorable sta­ tus to these arrangements, and many first reactions are “it’s too good to be true.” On the contrary, these arrangements have been around for a long time. They have long ago passed out of the “gim­ mick" category and into the main stream of estate and financial planning. assets such as securities, real estate, works of art, etc. must be included as well as income sources and needs. With these facts available, then your real financial capacity can be measured and the likely sources for making a gift can be identified Most larger charitable gifts from individuals are not made in cash The tax costs and resource reduc­ tion may be simply too high to make it worth­ while. Instead, many peo­ ple resort to various other devices which make use of their hidden" financial capacity. This capacity is found in their appreciated stock or real estate which they believe should not be "Fhe Charitable Remainder Trust begins just like all 56 other charitable contribu­ tions. You first make a transfer of assets. In this case, the transfer is to a trust. The trust recites all of the terms and condi­ tions of the arrangement. It names the beneficiaries and the trustees and defines the relationships of the parties. Many of these terms are required by the tax laws in order to sub­ stantiate the charitable nature of the trust, and your entitlement to the charitable deduction The amount of the deduc­ tion depends on the num­ ber of variables you estab­ lish in the trust when the transfer is made. The initial variable is the income interest you retain. You must first decide how much income you want and how often it is to be paid. The income rate is expressed as an annual percentage of the value of the trust assets, i.e. 5%, 9%, etc. Income rates you received from the assets prior to transfer are irrele­ vant You can set the new annual rate arbitrarily based on your expected needs. The lowest allow­ able rate is 5%, but there is no maximum rale You can receive the income month- I a/ �w ly, quarterly, semiquarterly or annually. Generally, the charitable reduction goes down as the retained income rate and payment frequency go up. £ is When the income rate and payment frequency are established, you must then decide who will receive this income The income payments can be retained for either a fixed number of years or for one or more lifetimes. For instance, you may decide to retain the income payments for a fixed period of 20 years. You may then designate yourself and several suc­ cessive, alternate beneficia­ ries to receive it during that term, depending on who is alive at any given time Another option is to retain the income pay­ ments for your entire life­ time. You can also extend the term to include the lifetime of your spouse or of a child or children Again, the charitable deduction decreases as the length of the retained income term increases (either expressed as a fixed number of years or through the duration of one or more lifetimes). M T £ CA JV J\' rE rD 5 charitable deduction. They arc not necessarily the source of the income inter­ est you retain. Most often, the assets you transfer to the trust are sold. The pro­ ceeds are then reinvested more appropriately to pro­ duce the income payments to you. The sale may cre­ ate a gain, but there is not tax because the law attrib­ utes the gain to the “taxexempt*' charitable benefi­ ciary. not to you Thus a principal motivation for creating a Charitable Remainder Trust is to com­ pletely escape the tax cost of changing your investments. The trust is the key to a tax-free con­ version of low or no income assets into higher income assets or of a sin­ gle asset into a diversified portfolio of assets. The last significant variable is the form in which the income payments are determined. You may elect to fix the amount you receive when the initial transfer is made. The same payment amount will then be paid to you throughout the term of the trust. This is an “annuity” trust. The income payment is not affected by subsequent changes in the value of the trust fund. The second for­ mat is a variable payment amount. The same income percentage rate is used throughout the term, but the assets of the trust are re-valued at the beginning of each year and the rate applied to the new value. Thus the payment amount will fluctuate with the mar­ ket and value of the trust assets. This is a “uni-trust.” Generally, the deduction is higher for an annuity trust than a uni-trust. The second key to release donnant investment and income potential is the charitable deduction itself. The gain on the sale of the assets you transfer to the trust is not taxable, but the income interest you retain is taxable as you receive it over the term of the trust. The charitable deduction is used to offset the tax con­ sequences of these income payments It can also offset When these variables are established, the charitable deduction can be calculat­ ed. This deduction is one of the twin keys the Charitable Remainder Trust utilizes to release dormant investment and income potential. The assets you transfer to the trust are only used to measure the S7 } ivia'9 other income sources you have, too, if the deduction is large enough. The chari­ table deduction thus cre­ ates tax-free income where none existed before. The amount of the deduc­ tion is calculated using actuarial tables furnished by the IRS. As noted above, the deduction amount is directly affected by the characteristics you choose for the retained income interest. Sometimes, the deduction amount is the principal focus in selecting these variables, whereas other situations attribute less sig­ nificance to the deduction and concentrate on maxi­ mizing personal income security. In either case, the amount of charitable deduction which may be used to offset your taxable income is limited to the percentage of your "adjust­ ed gross income Most commonly, this limit is 209 b of adjusted gross income. It is not unusual for the total deduction to exceed this limit. In that case, the tax law allows you to cany forward” the excess deduction and apply it against your tax- h �|F able income in the next five years. For example, if your total charitable deduction is S10,000 and 20% of your adjusted gross income is Sri ,000, then you can only use $4,000 of the deduction this year, but the remaining $6,000 of the deduction is still avail­ able for use in the next succeeding five years to offset taxable income with­ in the 20% limitation. The financial aspects of the Charitable Remainder Trust reflect your choices in the variables affecting the income interest you retain. Once fixed, these Z issues are rarely confront£ ed again. On the other hand, the Charitable Remainder Trust is not something you sign and forget It is. after all. still a trust. It must have a trustee to supervise and execute its affairs. There are many applicable rules and regulations governing the trust administration, but substantial flexibility also exists Many people turn to their professional advisors to act as trustees, such as banks, accountants and attorneys. Some chari­ table organizations will even act as trustees of trusts for which they are A ‘T X a JY JY 'E ‘D at least partially the even­ tual beneficiary. Com­ munity foundations (i.e.. the Oregon Community Foundation) make it their business to act as trustees and fund managers for these trusts. Within certain special limitations in place, you can act as your own trustee, too. 5 created with specific bene­ ficiaries in mind, but cir­ cumstances change. A Charitable Remainder Trust is by its very nature a long term plan. In response to inevitable change, the tax laws permit you to retain the right to change the charitable beneficiary if you choose. So long as all the beneficiaries at all times are qualified charita­ ble institutions, you can make as many changes as you wish. Only the list in effect at the conclusion of the trust term determines which charities actually receive the remaining trust assets. The duties of the trustee are not insignificant They include the proper invest­ ment of the funds and the payment of the income interest to you. Annual tax returns and information reports must be prepared and filed. The fees and costs of the trustee or financial management ser­ vices may be an issue to some people, and each of the alternatives will pre­ sent different services and efficiencies. The final choice is important since the long term performance of the trust directly affects the ultimate benefit received by the charity. Prudence and experience are key elements in the selection criteria. The income interest char­ acteristics and manage­ ment choices cover quite a broad spectrum of variables. Only one attribute is ironclad from the inception of the trust. A Charitable Remainder Trust is irrevocable. This means the arrangement is permanent until its course is fully completed. The characteristics of the income interest cannot be changed. The distribution of die balance of the assets to charities at the conclu­ sion of the trust term can­ not be changed. Areas of flexibility do exist, but sec­ ond thoughts after the trust is in place cannot alter the The last variable is proba­ bly the one that truly pro­ vides the impetus for the whole arrangement. That is the identity of the chari­ table beneficiary or benefi­ ciaries. Many trusts are 58 ■m trust or the ultimate fulfill­ ment of its puqx>se. Many details are involved in the decision to pursue a larger charitable gift. The first rule is the most obvi­ ous, but also the most dif­ ficult: take off the blinders. They only confine your vision of the available resources for a gift. The second rule is equally compelling: consult com­ petent professionals. They are the only ones who can give you a complete expla­ nation of all the options open to you and the many \ variables affecting each & one. No description of planned charitable giving alternatives is complete without a thorough review of a Charitable Remainder Trust. It can provide the means to make a substan­ tial charitable gift In fact, it can actually increase your income and strength­ en your portfolio by diver­ sifying your investments. Happily, the tax laws promote rather than dis­ courage these positive results, and the investment transition is tax-free. With these kinds of benefits potentially available, the issue is not whether to do it, rather how you can afford not to do it! £ �AUTUMN 19 9 4 CLASS College Plans Katie Adams Tulane University Joanne Bennington Rhodes College Jeff Chang University of Southern California Lillian Choi Claremont McKenna Todd Crawford Carleton Michele Duncan University of Puget Sound Elena Egorova Claremont McKenna Rachel Frank Brown University Kyle Freres Southern Methodist University Tyler Freres Southern Methodist University Eric Gebbie University of St. Andrews (Scotland) Alex Guerrero Portland State University Paul Hearn Lawrence University Martin Hellhake University of San Francisco A Graduates Tyler Freres, Toby Menely, David Moser and Martin Hellhake on the big day.

How perfectly applicable this state­ ment is to the implementation process of the OES Long Range Plan for the 21st Century, which is appropriately called OES/21. The OES Statement of Purpose articulates both the School that we are and the School we are becoming, and OES/21 details the essence of what we seek to accomplish to shape our institution for the 21st century. Like Mr. Chey. the OES Board of Trustees realizes the prudency of its charge for long-range planning and articulated goals. Wise and careful trustee management during the past decade has allowed the School to achieve financial solidity with no external debt, a well-man­ aged plant with provisions for deferred maintenance, and an enrollment that is both the largest in the School’s history (with plentiful wait pools in each division) and the earlierthan-expected realization of our student population goal outlined in OES/21. Our moment is at hand. We have implemented many of the components of the Long Range Plan, ranging from a growing endowment for faculty profes­ sional growth and development to technology components that 60 include laptop computers for each third, fourth, and fifth grader, and laptop PCs for all sixth graders beginning in the fall of 1995. We are now ready to launch the most energetic campus facil­ ities upgrade ever seen in the 125-year-history of the School. The Trustees and Middle School faculty have worked together with the OES Design Review Committee over the past year to develop a facility that meets the programmatic requirements of the Middle School. The proposed new Middle School building will secure an academically excellent environ­ ment for all our current students as well as the thousands ol stu­ dents who follow them into the 21st century. We have a superb Middle School program that is a model of what a truly excellent Middle School should be, and it is racing towards the 2Lst centu­ ry! All that is missing is the building that will fulfill the space and programmatic needs of the children who learn within its walls.

Many volunteers and dedicated staff have worked long hours developing them. Summer is always a busy time at the School and this past summer was no exception. The Alumni Association welcomed its newest members at the Senior Reception held on June 9. The Class of 1994 added 47 members to our ranks, which total approxi­ mately 1,800. At the reception I was pleased to introduce Jo-Anne Landry as the 1994 Class Agent. Jo-Anne, who is studying in England this fall, will act as liason between the School and her classmates. Class reunions are held each June and this year we celebrated the classes ending in “4" and “9”. I was touched by the stories about World War II, in particular D-Day, which occurred close to their grad­ uation. One alumna remembers how calmly Bishop Dagwell announced the invasion and how he allayed their fears. Another classmate told of her fiancee who lost his life landing off Holland that same summer. Most recollections, however, were met with laughter and smiles. I hope in another 30 years my 50th class reunion is just as memorable. My graduating class of 1974 cele­ brated its 20th reunion this past summer. Eighteen out of 36 class­ mates were able to attend at least one event. Brent Erensel and Max Miller Jr. deserve much thanks for organizing the gathering. Our reunion was that much more joyful with the recent news that our classmates, Tanja Vaselijevic Horvat, was granted entry to the United States Tanja, a citizen of Saravejo, had been living in Germany with her daughter Ivana since escaping the war that has destroyed her homeland. OES offered Tanja, who is a trained doctor, the position of laboratory assistant in the science depart­ ment Without a job, Tanja and Ivana would not have been able to enter the United States. The OES Board of Directors, Headmaster Peter W. Stevens, the Development Office, the Rosenlund family, Max Miller Jr., Autumn Alexander-Skeen, John Wysham, Jenny Holden and others are to be thanked for their efforts concerning Tanja. Their concern, humanitarianism and actions exemplify the spirit of OES. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 62 This fall and winter also promise to be busy. Many activities are scheduled to celebrate the 125th. An example is the Alumni Lecture Series, which runs throughout the school year in conjunction with the programs of the OES Parent Education Committee. Guest speakers from our alumni ranks are scheduled to speak on a variety of topics. The Alumni Assocation extends a special invitation to all alumni, parents and friends of OES to attend the 1994 Founders Day Anniversary Gala. This year we honor Betsy Johnson, Class of 1969, with the Distinguished Alumni Award named in honor of the founder of St. Helens Hall in 1869, Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris. The award will be present­ ed during the Founders' Day Gala. Chet Orloff, Executive Director of the Oregon Historical Society will be our guest speaker and Gerry Frank will be our Master of Ceremonies. It promises to be an entertaining evening. Another anniversary event will be the appearance of actress and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Liv Ullmann, on December 8 Ms. Ullmann will speak on “Making the World A Better Place for Our Children," a very appropriate topic for the OES community. I am excited about this anniversary and I hope you are too! As always, your ideas and comments about how the Alumni Association can best serve the alumni community are welcome. �AUTUMN 19 9 4 ! i OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 63 �Opening Day Kicks Off the 125th!

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

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

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

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

The pupils will be allowed to visit on Saturday those friends in the city whom the parents may designate, pro­ vided those friends accompany them to and from the school, and the conduct of the pupil has been so satisfactory that they are entitled to the privilege. Pupils residing in Port­ land or its immediate vicinity will be allowed once in each month to spend Saturday and Sunday at home. Magazines and telegrams will not be delivered unless approved. Newspapers are not allowed. It is requested that no books be 'brought into the school. All textbooks are provided, and there is sufficient reading matter in the School Library.

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

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

HELEN’S HALL 25 ©Ijp Hjomp The home life of St. Helen’s Hall is that of a well regulated household, in which the general tone is wholesome and happy. A Sister, assisted by the resident nurse, has the care of the pupils’ health. Especial attention is paid to manners and bearing, and exercises in the Gymnasium form part of the daily routine. Each girl is required to obtain from her family physician a certificate of physical fitness before taking part in any game (such as basket ball), requiring violent exercise. A riding school near by fur­ nishes horses and groom at a moderate charge for small riding parties. The resident teachers co-operate with the Sisters to make home life attractive and helpful. One eve­ ning in each fortnight is given to lectures, musicales and social gatherings in the reception room. Dancing, indoor games and all girlish amusements are encouraged. A short list of correspondents and visitors is required signed by parent or guardian. Letters addressed to others than those on the list will be forwarded unopened to parents or guardians. No bills will be paid for pupils nor money advanced to them unless a deposit has been made for that purpose and pupils are not allowed to have running accounts at any store in the city. ! t A monthly allowance is recommended as tending to give a young girl a proper sense of the value of money and responsibility in the use of it. During the term no pupil will be allowed to pass a night in town out of the school building except with her parents or near relatives. Pupils may not visit anywhere without the written consent of parents or guardians. They may �' p 26 ST. HELEN’S HALL 1 j>;,! I: j a I 1S ■ ' receive their friends on Saturday afternoons. Visitors will not be admitted on Sunday except parents and members of the immediate family. Strangers must bring a letter of introduction from parents or guardian. Visitors may not ascend the stairs without permission. The pupils will be allowed to visit on Saturday those friends in the city whom the parents may designate, pro­ vided those friends accompany them to and from the school, and the conduct of the pupil has been so satisfactory that they are entitled to the privilege. Pupils residing in Port­ land or its immediate vicinity will be allowed once in each month to spend Saturday and Sunday at home. Magazines and telegrams will not be delivered unless approved. Newspapers are not allowed. It is requested that no books be brought into the school. All textbooks are provided, and there is sufficient reading matter in the School Library. Family photographs and a few framed pictures are allowed in the pupils’ rooms, but not posters or advertise­ ments. It is desired that all bedroom decorations be simple hygienic. Pupils are expected to dress neatly and simply. A plain skirt with blouse waist for school, a cloth suit for Sunday and street wear, an afternoon dress of some light woolen or mixed material and a white muslin dress (highnecked and long sleeved) for musicals will meet all require­ ments. Neither dresses nor waists of laundered goods are allowed from November 1 to April 1, nor dresses of wash material for the school room at any time.
