INTRODUCTION Plans for St. Helen's Hall Centennial Celebration were begun in 1967 with many and varied ideas introduced. It was finally decided to limit the time and the number of events and to place special emphasis on the three aspects of the school which had brought it through the first one hundred years, namely, the religious, the academic and the historic. ! A history of the school was included in these plans, and Sally Reed Sout agreed most generously to gather material and to begin this enormous task. Muriel Gabriel Heltzel was appointed chairman - was the outgoing president of the Alumnae Association — and the following alumnae and parents were selected to work with her on the various events scheduled for September and November. Banquet at the Hilton Hotel Birthday Party on the campus for students Sunday Reception at Trinity Church following the AFternoon Service Mary Reynolds (Mrs. Carl) - Parent Suzanne Caswell Honeyman and Ann Honeyman - Parent Mary Helen Spaulding Clair and Patricia Pearson Peterson During the summer of 1969, the Reverend David Leech, Head­ master of the School, was to be in the east for an educational meeting and suggested the possibility of a visit to the Sisters of St. John Baptist at the mother House in New Jersey. He would extend to them a personal invitation to be present at the November events and assure them of finan­ cial assistance for their travel expenses. As a result, and to the great benefit of the Centennial celebration, five of the sisters came, including Sister Waldine Lucia, formerly Mother Superior Sister Margaret Helena, the present Mother Superior Sister Agatha Louise Sister Eleanor Lucy, and Sister Elizabeth Marian. �A Variety of C Keeps Bishop D CENTENNIAL PLANS Mrs. Charles H. Heltzel, Chairman Exciting events are in the wind for our one hundred year celebration in the fall. Many chairmen and com­ mittee workers are making arrangements for this occasion, and'dates and events are now falling beau­ tifully into line. The first celebration will take place on the morn­ ing of September 12th at City Hall, the original site of St. Helen's Hall one hundred years ago. A St. Helen's Hall flag will be raised over City Hall to fly there for several days. The student body will be in attendance and we will have a short ceremony. The Headmaster is arranging a coffee after this event for participating alumnae and friends. At the school a huge birthday cake with one hundred candles will be of paramount interest for the birthday party being arranged by Mrs. Ronald J. and Mrs. Ronald C. Honeyman for the students. Mrs. Lansing Stout (Sally Reed) has written a his­ tory of the Hall for the Centennial year. She has spent weeks of research both at the Hall and at the His­ torical Society as well as speaking to and interview­ ing Portlanders who can remember events of many years which have encircled the Hall and the history of Portland. This will be a fascinating book and is now being printed. It will be of great interest to all those who ever attended the Hall and to those interested in Portland history. It will be on sale in the Fall. We hope for at least two of the Sisters of the Community of St. John Baptist to be with us for the main events of the Centennial to be held on ihe weekend of the 15th and 16th of November. They will travel from Mendham, New Jersey. We are delighted to announce that Dean Francis B. Sayre, Jr., of the National Cathedral in Washing­ ton, D. C., is coming to be our speaker for the ban­ quet to be held on November 15th at the Hilton Hotel. He is one of the outstanding speakers in the United States and we feel very honored that he will attend. Our own Governor, Tom McCall, will act as Master of Ceremonies for the banquet so these two v/ill make a terrific team.

This day will hopefully start with a dedication service on the campus at St. Stephen's Chapel, and conclude with a Thanksgiving service at Trinity Church at three o'clock in the after­ noon at v/hich Bishop Hines will preside and preach. There will be a reception after the Trinity service with Mrs. David Charlton and Mrs. Harry C. Clair, Jr., in charge. Mrs. Charles H. Heltze! is completing a roster of all graduates of St. Helen's Hall. This will be sent out with a receipt of dues paid and will also be on sale for those who are interested.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Mrs. Heltzei, Thanks very much for the cheque v/hich Mrs. Butler sent to me for the memorial to Adeline Kendall Kirby! I have sent it on to the business office along with other cheques for memorials in the Chapel. I am sure the Alumnae will be pleased with the Acolyte Bench for which the money v/as used, and Adeline v/ould be pleased, too. It adds to the beauty St. Helen’s Hall Alumnae News President’s Report 1969 H!W35» Alumnae Award Honors Redmond Girl Shown accepting the 1969 Alumnae Award is Miss Elizabeth Katherine Johnson of Redmond. Mak­ ing the presentation is Mrs. Charles H. Heltzei, president of the Alumnae Association. Miss Johnson is the daughter of State Representative Samuel S. Johnson and Mrs. Johnson, who is a member of the State Board of Higher Education. The Award reads: "This award is given to the senior who, through the three-fold aspects of aca­ demic accomplishment, demonstrated leadership, and loyalty, has promoted the ideals and growth of St. Helen s Hall. Betsy Johnson has had a distinguished four years at St. Helen's Hall. She has served her classmates as freshman class president, student body secretary and vice-president and this year as student body president. Betsy plans to enter Occidental College, Los Angeles, in September. Her major will be adolescent psychology and she hopes to do future work in counseling or experimental research. Betsy will be spending her second summer in residence this year as a member of the child care staff at Christie School, a school for emotionally disturbed girls,—on the Marylhurst College campus In Portland. of the Sanctuary and the students v/ho take various roles in the services are delighted to have something adequate upon v/hich to sit. The girls of the upper school take turns with the boys as servers and readers, so the old traditions which Adeline loved have not been lost. Thanking you and the Alumnae again, I am Yours Sincerely, R. H. Greenfield, Chaplain My dear Muriel, Please extend my warmest greetings to all the alumnae and especially to the Class of 1969, our newest alumnae, on this important day—the Spring luncheon and meeting. Though I am writing this at home, on May 17 my daughter, Betty Labadie, and I will be in Brussels visiting an old friend and fellow classmate at St. Helen's Hall, Peggy Boyer. Peggy has been living in Europe for over five years. She is Muriel Gabriel Heltzei I have now finished my third and last year as president. It has been an unusually long term due to the fact that I finished one year of Adele Finch s term. This has been a very exciting and fulfilling year, with the change of administration at the Hall, new ideas, new interests, and challenging thoughts. It has been 'a very happy year for me with a marvelous Board to work with, everyone taking their share of the responsibility cheerfully and doing a thorough and conscientious job of whatever they were asked to do. This makes it all worthwhile when you can count on those with whom you are working to have initiative and imagination to carry on with their particular com­ mittee assignments. The project of the graduation pictures is now complete except for the Junior College and that will be completed this summer. Anne Richards has been chairman of this committee and has devoted weeks to its accomplishment. She has been assisted by several ladies who have also devoted tireless efforts to its completion. When you are handling one hun­ dred years of pictures, plus twelve more of Junior College, it is a real task. We all want to thank you. Anne, for your leadership in this, and also your com­ mittee. Nancy Mathison and~Uoan MacNaughton ~v/ere chairman and co-chairman respectively of the Konditerei for the Country Fair, the allotted task of the Alumnae It made an unprecedented $465 and we all want to thank both of them for their efforts. It was a big job to organize and took many hours ot work on their part, not to mention imagination . . . even to carnations that matched the tablecloths. We have held six meetings of the Board this past year, some in our members' homes and some at the Hall. This summer we hope to finish furnishing an arranging our Alumnae room on the lower floor o the Chapel. This will provide an adequate pace or our files and to work on mailings, and to have mee ings on occasion. . , Dues are due as of the first of June.

It is true that X preside in a general sort of way over some very wonderful schools here on the Close. But the truth of the picture is, that others far more skilled than I actu­ ally run those schools and wrestle with their policy. My job is the humbler and, occasionally, even harder one of coordinating what they do for the Cathedral Foundation as a whole. I know that Canon Martin, Headmaster of St. Albans, or either of the Chaplains at our schools or even Canon Walker on my staff, who cams here from St. Paul's School in New Hampshire, could give you a far more cogent address on the role of the church school in modern society than I could ever hope to render, On the other hand, I might be able to offer a few reflections upon our society generally and try to think out loud what cathedrals, cathedral schools ana church schools gen­ erally might be trying to do in the; midst of it all. You will be interested, perhaps, to know that Oregon is the only one of the 50 states in which I have never been. I think it's high time 1 completed the roster and became an "all-round American’1.

Mr. Adair's mother's name was Mary Rodney Morris. The Alumnae Association is proud of its alumnae family all over the world for many have distinguished themselves in their various professions as well as in their homes. Regretfully, we cannot attempt to honor them at this time, but there is one in the Portland area to whom I would like to pay special tribute. About two years ago, when plans were first being made for this 100th birthday celebration, Sally Reed Stout volunteered to compile a history of the school. She has spent hours interviewing people, researching at the Historical Center, reading old books, records, papers and catalogues. Tonight, we have her book, ST. HELEN'S HALL - the FIRST CENTURY, It is a delightfully factual account of early Portland, its citizens, its church leaders and of a school which has nobly survived 100 y&ars of high academic ideals and achievements. The book is full of rare and charming pictures along with the text and it offers something of delight to anyone who ever attended the school, Thank you, Sally, for a great job well done. We are proud of youI In closing, may I express my sincere thanks to Mary Reynolds for her expert handling of the banquet arrangements, and to Muriel Heltzel for being Centennial chairman, and to David Leech and his staff at the school for their wonderful and gracious cooperation.

Formerly calied the Society of Graduates, it has met regularly, raised funds for scholarships, additions to the Library, or other immediate needs of the school, and, in 1957, established an Endowment Fund for the exclusive use of St. Helen’s Hall.

It is my solution to the problem of how to write to all of you, and get the letters in the mail, on a busy Friday after­ noon before the start of a soccer game with Catlin Gabel that begins very soon! I went to invite each one of you to attend the small ,,fami!y,, worship service at !0:00 A.M. on Sunday, November 16. Yes, that is the morning after the centennial'banquet, the morning before the big 3:00 P.M. centennial service and reception in Trinity Church. I am asking you to attend the service because the Presiding Bishop, Bishop Mines, will be present. Bishop Carman wall bo present and, at the conclusion of the service, the clergy and congregation will leave the chape! and walk the forty feet to the place where the old iron cross (from atop the old school building at the eld site) has been re-erected as a remembrance of our centennial. There, Bishop Hines will appropriately bless (he cross in its new location. II believe it is very appropriate that as many ef the Alumnae Board as possible be present. And t heir husbands ere most cordially invited! After the service brunch will be served to all our guests. Remember the time8 (0:00 A.M. Let me add for your official information that our mutual friend, Mrs. Paul M0 (Ruth) Merv/in v/hose daughter Marybeth was graduated last June, has paid for the re-ercsti©n of the me­ morial cross as a gift to the school at this happy time. We are grateful for her thoughtfulness. I am going to count on you, knowing you will attend if it is humanly possible.

The joy of celebration , nostalgia for the past. quickened interest for the future, a close look at meaning and purpose. For St. Helen’s Hall, a determined pioneer girl grown to a gracious metropolitan lady, all these are true in this her one hundredth year. Celebration began in September at Portland’s City Hall, the first site of St. Helen’s Hall. Church and civic dignitaries, alumnae and friends of the school, and a fine student body gathered to raise the school flag once again where it had flown long ago. Later in the day, birthday parties took place on the campus and each young person seemed to feel a sense of history combined with the fun of celebration. In November, a festive week-end brought alumnae to the Hall and the city for a series of events which they shared with students, parents and loyal friends. A gay banquet at the Hilton Hotel and a joyous Service of Thanksgiving at Trinity Episcopal Church etched timeless memories in the hearts and minds of all. Nostalgia and reminiscence were the mood as old friends exclaimed. you remember . . .?’’ and relived happy days. "Do The traditions of St. Helen's Hall which have made her dear and unique were brought out so that the present generation might better understand why the Hall is what she is today. Looking reflectively at the past serves best when it heightens enthusiasm for the present and future. So it is in this Centennial year. St. Helen's Hall vitally lives now, meeting the ever-changing demands of superior independent edu­ cation, and she lives in harmony and pleasure with her young companion, Bishop Dagwell Hall. Coeducation has come to the Halls, another step in meeting the needs of a given era. St. Helen's Hall and Bishop Dagwell Hall exist solely to educate and train young men and women for tomorrow's leadership in the world they will inherit, The second century hopefully shall be as much a source of joy and pride as was the first. Jean Jackson �AMONG THE RESPONSES TO THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION of St. Helen's Hall, we cherish this memory of the Reverend Mother Margaret Helena Superior of the Community of St. John Baptist, who herself taught at the Hall many years ago. We hope you too will enjoy what she wrote about the memorable days of celebration. A WEEK-END BETWEEN TWO CENTURIES St. Helen’s Hall is celebrating its Centennial! How many times we have heard and repeated these words this past year! The Sisters’ association with the Hall covers sixty-five of those years—forty as the directors and the last twenty-five in our hearts and prayers. Friday, November 14th, five Sisters returned to Portland, ing as unreal as characters in a fairy tale. Intellectually we knew we were not going to the old Hall. This was emphasized by on the new highway and up 14th and Hall Streets, There we were fronted with reality and were prepared for the new site and the buildings. feel - all a drive connew The village of buildings on the side of the hill was most attractive, and the contrast of memory and reality was complete.

Nevertheless he calmly gave an excellent address pointing to the new century and its challenges. On Sunday, Fr. Greenfield’s homily set the thought of the day by making three points: faith, hope, steadiness. At the ten o’clock service, Bishop Carman summed up the century by using St. Paul’s analogy of races — relay races--in which one runner runs his part and passes on his attainment to the next runner, etc. The Bishop spoke of the "cioud of witnesses" and said the most vitally interested were those who had already run. The Presiding Bishop then gave the Blessing, and immediately we proceeded to the new location of the Flemish cross, a memorial to Father Breck brought from the highest point of the old building and now mounted on a brick pedestal. The Presiding Bishop rededicated the cross, after which he had to have a press conference, but we had lunch. The final and crowning event was the great thanksgiving service at Trinity Church. To be in that beautiful church and to be singing the Commencement music with hundreds of School girls, young and old, was a tremendously moving and satisfying experience. The Presiding Bishop spoke of the challenge of the new century, and the service spoke of the love of God and of the faith and hope that had brought us to this day and would be the support of the future. There were many more greetings after the service, and we were hardly able to detach ourselves to pay our respects to those in the receiving line at the reception for the Presiding Bishop. Monday morning came and we left the Hall at 6:15 a.m. to take our plane to New Jersey. What can anyone say of a week-end between two centuries? Perhaps it was a glimpse of heaven--time dropped away, old friend­ ships were picked up where distance had intervened surrounded by happy memories—and shining through it all the spirit of St. Helen's Hall--loyal alumnae, loyal students, enthusiastic faculty--everyone working to build the walls of another century. Perhaps the Chapel is the best symbol of the hope of the future, It is the centre of the campus, it is new physically but holds within it many things of the past, The new and the old have been put together to form — one lovely whole. And so with all of life we inherit and use what is good of the past and build on it for the future, The race goes on—each runner carries his torch. There is no adequate way to tell you how much we appreciated and enjoyed this week-end. We can only say, thank you one and all and wrap you round with our love and prayers. �Commencement Address Nosratollah Rassekh, Ph.D. Chairman, Department of History Lewis and Clark College Sibelius (arr.
