Almost in the heart of Portland stands a beautiful, old brick building, St. Helen’s Hall, from whose windows 1 one may see the distant snow-capped mountain peaks. Since the founding of the school in 1869 it has continued to thrive and grow until today it comprises not only a grade and high school but also a pre-school and Junior College. For thirty-three years the Sisters of St. John Baptist, by their untiring efforts, have been fulfilling the hopes and dreams of Bishop Morris, the founder of St. Helen s Hall; and today it is one of the oldest and most outstanding schools for girls in the West. : ! | '■ . : ;1 i / : ill : J m ': i » i \ 11: M ! : i ■ : ; ' �( I I I ' ; - f .i ,ii ii I i MOUNT HOOD FROM LOST LAKii �T. ! i; ! i \ I ) ! i : : > i ■ i ;: M i ; [■> I MT.

The purpose of this organization is to assist the girls in learning and keeping the school regulations. This year the council, composed of Alpha Theta members, was under the leadership of Elsie Lou Green.

To llie Seniors, we leave our delightful unconcern toward the duties of our class. To the Juni ors, a respect for dignity. To the Sophomores, silent charm; and lo the Freshmen, our subtle wit.

Pushing aside several pink elephants, I advanced and retrieved this object'—it was a newspaper dated June 21, 1945. On the front page was a column concerning the exploits of one Mrs. Yehudi Menuhin, nee Cauell Abbott, who is now giving a concert lour with her husband in Siberia. The hcadli nes were at least six inches high: “Or. Jean Broughton Dis­ covers a Whiskered Prolopudgobia — Scientists Slumped by New Menace to the Clover Bee. Looking through the pages I beheld a notice of the latest screen success of Marjorie Francis, co-starring with the aging Tyrone Power in a stirring drama of death on the Panama Canal. On page th ree was a heading which read, "Senator Elizabeth Nichols and Representative Betty Sumner battled over Bill 0472-J." On rea ding further. Bill 0472-J proved to be for the propagation of elastic teeth braces with which patients can fidget, th us eliminating fingernail chewing. In Ripley s now antiquated Believe It or Not was a picture of Professor Frances Haworth who. after working six years in her laboratory near Los Angeles, has patented a device for dyeing rabbits all colors. 1 he Easter egg era is now out of dale.

She wrote a sonnet in honor of the recent election, entitled "Sunflowers, Blood, and l Bottles. j» This inspiring eulogy of our triumphant parly is a great favorite, especially among school children. Evelyn Manning sails tomorrow for I ,on don, where she will be the master of ceremonies at a dinner at Scott’s Restaurant where all royalty will he present. Miss Manning still holds the title of "Little Miss America. Th ere was a cam lid camera shot of Miss Nancy Slolle marching to her Senior Spanish class, umbrella in one hand and eight volumes lucked neatly under her arm.

EDITORIAL Th e en cl is but the beginning.” How true is ibis statemenl wbcn applied to the our Senior Class as we find ourselves fast approaching tbe day toward members of which our every effort has been dircclcd since we severally enrolled in dear St. Helen s Hall. Then, as questioning freshmen, we were happy in the opportunity that was to be ours of attending an institution that has stood for so much in the education and development of young women in our Northwest. Diligently we have applied ourselves to the tasks set for us by our Sisters and instructors in charge. Month by month, term by term, and year by year, we have seen ourselves drawn nearer to our goal, but now that it is almost within our grasp, what shall we do with it? "Th e end is but the beginning. On June seven th the members of our class of nineteen hundred and thirty-seven will have reached the end of their high school road. As we march out of our beloved Trinity Church, we shall realize that it is not the end. but rather the crossing of the threshold toward a beginning which promises greater advancement: greater future opportunity. Beloved by all who h ave seen its rugged and snow-capped summit, standing like a sentinel beckoning to those of sturdy limb and stout heart to come out of the level of crowded, whirling industry; leading to greater heights and clearer visions of broad or o pporlunities stands Ml. Hood, the challenge and inspiration of all who see il. So stands our St. Helen’s Hall, beloved not only by this year’s class but by all who have been privileged to go from class to class. led forward and urged upward to greater attainment. As Mazamas, coming down the trail toward timberline. look back and say. \'Ve have been there,” so each St. Helen’s girl points with pride to her days in the Hall. For us. however, the trail leads up not down. I he end is but the beginning.” Again. I say: What shall we do with it? "Isn’t it strange, that princes and kings And clowns that caper in sawdust rings And common folk like you and me Arc builders of Eternity? " To each is given a kit of tools. A shapeless mass and a book of rules; And each must build ere life has flown A stumbling block or stepping stone.” Yes. I he end is but the beginning.’ What shall we do with il? Jean Groves, Editor-in-Chicf. ; I EDITORIAL I his year, twenty girls will be leaving St. Helen's Hall and entering a life which, at present, seems full of excitement and promise. During the years which we have spent here, we have accumulated a vast store of knowledge. The Sisters and teachers have not only given us an education of superior quality, but also encouragement and friendship.—two great and marvelous gifts. There are many bonds which we hate to break. Our lives have been so much full cr an d richer since our advent to the Flail. When we allow ourselves to dream for a moment, scores of happy memories come. Yet we hesitate between the past and the future. It would be idyllic to turn back, and remain forever with our friends here: yet the great outside calls us and we must answer. We have an overwhelming debt to pay. We come from an institution of the finest quality, bearing a name which we dare not smirch. Each one of us hopes to attain fame and have the world as "her oyster.” Time and fate may tarnish our aspirations. A few names may be remembered, but the rest will sink into oblivion, Yet. whatever may be our future, we have “our shield, the truth, to cherish," and the example which is set by our Sisters, one of physical fortitude and moral purity, by which to live and conquer.

It was low at first but increased until it was quite loud. Charley fr ozc in his bed. He had heard of ghosts and bad never believed in ih cm, but right now he could have been easily convinced that there were such things. While he sat in bed it gradually died down, but all of a sudden it started again. Charlie dropped below the covers and stayed there for a long while. Slowly he drew himself out and then he felt braver. He felt for his flashlight and snapped it on. He had heard that ghosts, if a ghost it was, were afraid of light. He crept down the stairs, through the kitchen, and was about to turn into the dining room when the howl came again from the basement. Down those stairs he went and sighed with relief when his flashlight revealed his dog. sitting on the floor with his head up and mouth wide open and the family cat, Fabitha, in his doghouse. His dog was v ery glad to see him and more so when Charley put the cat on her own bed and left the doghouse for him.

Il had, at last, reached its downfall, but il still stood majestically in the dusty and cob webbed corner. As it glanced around, it remembered its exciting and, you might well say. lamous life. It recalled that the first time it had seen the world outside of the factory, il was in a little country shop in France. It was really a very attractive little rocking chair then: il had wine-colored leather covering and faintly carved lion heads on the back. It was rather shy but, nevertheless, the owner of the shop displayed il right up in front, to the amazement of all the older chairs; and it remembered the young girl who passed the shop daily. She always looked in longingly and finally bought the little rocking chair. Then il recalled the happy days they spent together, just the three of them: the young girl, the girl s mother, and the rocking chair; and il thought of the day the girl came home to find her mother dead in its restful arms. Then the little chair remembered that there was hustle an d bustle, cleaning, sweeping and packing, and that one day il was wrapped and stuck away in a dark box. It didn t remember much then, but it could tell that it was traveling, and il recalled how dizzy it got one day when il was hoisted high into the air. It could remember rou gh talk, and for about five or six weeks it felt rather up-and-downish. Then it was again hoisted and put on some traveling vehicle which was exceedingly rough and bouncy. One bright and sunshiny day il was again brought out into the world. How happy the little mistress was and how she sang and worked! I hen, one day they had a newcomer: the little chair could remember seeing something like it before. Oh yes! now it remembered; this person was like the chair’s first master. The chair remembered that sometimes the new master would come home at night and instead of rocking and singing he would fall asleep immediately, while the little mistress would sit and knit for hours and hours. I h en, one day. the little chair saw something new, something it had never seen before. It was roly-poly, soft and pink — the chair soon discovered that this was little Janie. As the years rolled by the family increased, and the little chair, which was growing older and a little weak and rickety. was still the pel chair of the home, The home also had grown and was now very elaborate and beautiful. 1 hen, when the little mistress (who was now old) died, the little chair was no longer a favorite. It was pushed and shoved about; and, after many ponderous and lengthy debates, was finally relegated to the attic. There, the little old chair sang a beautiful song that it had heard its mistress sing and slowly and gently rocked itself to sleep. Wilma Roesch. 39. ROMANCE AT HER FINGERTIPS . ' !i:i ! DELPHIC i The eager young girl gently gathered her gingh am skirts about her as she mounted the musty attic stair. Dust descended upon her as she pushed open the door; and as she walked stealthily across the floor, cobwebs brushed her arm. She reached a curiously carved oak chest and laboriously lifted the lid — revealing relics of romantic yester-years. She lovingly lifted the dainty d resses and held them up admiringly to her shoulders. Her eyes sparkled as she slipped off her simple dress and slithered into a shimmering satin gown. Its silky soft ness enve loped her slender body and fell deliciously cool and smooth. I he folds of the skirt reached the floor and the heavy train slowed her step as she softly hummed to the solemn tempo of the Wedding March. She loved the swish of it about her ankles and she thrilled to the smoothness under her fingers. She fondly lifted the long filmy veil and put the wreath of stars about her soft hair. Il floated about her like a cloud and settled at her heels. She began walking down the stairs and the heavy fringe of lace gently tugged at her head *— holding il high.

He made the startling statement that he had bought a third-hand car for the princely sum o f eighty-five dollars. However, he said, the man had told him that the engine was in good order and the tires practically new. When the machine arrived the nex I day, it turned out to be a 1924 model Essex, as square as a cracker box. We took one ride in it and promptly dubbed it. The Galloping Goose.” The name was quite appropriate as the Goose, on starting, completely left the earth and then settled down to moving, first with a lurch forward an d then with a waddle sidewise. The noise that issued forth from under its rusty hood sounded like a flock of wild ducks at close range. But don t think that this masterpiece was spurned by our family because of its deficiencies — rather we took to it as we would have to a stray pup or kitten. And from that day on the Galloping Goose was firmly established in our family. How we got it down to the beach I can neither remember nor imagine; but, somehow, il safely reached its destination. Mother decided it needed paint; and when she found a nice conservative tan in the the basement she started ambitiously to sandpaper and paint the ancient vehicle. By the time she had finished the body, the paint was all gone and the only color left was some Chinese Red which had been used to paint the breakfast nook. Hie spokes and the trimmings; were decked out in this very festive color and the "Galloping Goose was ready for use.

"The Goose” is a respectable five-passenger car but on that mem orable day we had loaded in ten. This was loo much for it; the battery fell out of the bottom. 1 he second summer the Goose was un able to make the hills between Cannon Beach and Seaside. 11 would slop on the slope, puff, gasp, and give out; one just sal until il got its strength again and cooled down enough to make the top. The third summer we didn’t even attempt to make a gradual ascent and, in order to shift, one had to kick the gears with all the strength one could put into the blow. I he only thing that had any real power left was the horn 1 I hen it slowly dawned on us that “the Goose was aging. For the last few summers it has rested in the garage, only being taken out for a jaunt to the grocery store once in a great while. My brother still linkers with the motor and the whole family lives in the hope that some day the “Galloping Goose” may make a grand and glorious come-back.

Above a shining lake, the tendrils of mist eddied and curled fantastically like a slow whirl­ pool of moonlit grey. The shaggy islands crouched gloomily in the black water, with morose shoulders hunched high in the star-peppered sky. One broad road of moon­ light streamed down, and billowed with the waves. Far to the south, a shore was designated by the occasional glow of ruddy patches ^ distant beach fires leaping and retreating in the cold, velvety shadows. A lone, yellow point of light warned passersby of the wickedly obscure reefs. Its fellow tossed fitfully on the masthead of an invisible ship, in a waste of darkness; borne onward through the phosphorescent surf.

He also fell that he knew just what to do upon every occasion. On this certain occasion that happened to be al the beach he had explored all the nearby territory and suc­ ceeded in getting sand up his nose, to say nothing of in his eyes. All this was very new and exciting for him; and he wasn’t satisfied, until he had become thoroughly drenched by a cold ocean wave, to settle down to normal living. Soon he learned not to sniff at the sand and to slay a respectable distance from the surf. Nothing pleased him more than to lie on the hot, dry sand and let the sun bake down on his back; but he never could lie still long enough really to enjoy it. Along in the afternoon. Magregor disappeared for nearly an hour and when he returned it was under the heavy burden ol nearly ten feel of kelp which he had proudly dragged for a great distance. Because it did not move or show any signs of life, he naturally thought it was dead and the only respectable thing to do was to bury it. He buried the large end first and continued on down the whole length of it until the kelp had disappeared Irom sight. After this feat he was proud but tired, and lay down to rest lor a while. Soon he became curious to sec how the kelp was getting along and so he dug it all up again. After he had dug it up and buried it some three times, he pulled it off to one side and started to chew it. but it had an extremely disagreeable taste and he abandoned it to chase seagulls. Magregor never seemed quite the same after that beach trip, and I am sure that he has had many a longing to struggle with another piece of kelp.

She was suddenly aware that one of the travelers had addressed her. He was eagerly thumping his dingy dime on the velvet edge of the bracelet section. Scarcely tall enough to reach her hand in which he placed the money, he babbled in his high, shrill voice how he had found it in the street “just as the lights were changing.” He knew exactly what he wanted and he pointed proudly to the gleaming gold chains from which dangled fi ve new pennies. She watched him as he disappeared in the crowd and saw him reappear at the door. Outside a soft snow sifted through the air and the red Santa whose bell had rung heedlessly on as the crowd surged by shivered as he gazed into his almost empty kettle. The little boy standing beside him labored industriously as he pulled the pennies one by one from the flimsy chain. When five bright objects lay in his palm, he pushed his way to the Santa and dropped the pennies one by one into the kettle. With each clink the Santa smiled. When the last penny had fallen the boy. rubbing his little hands, trolled merrily on — he had given his contribution. I : ! ! I Betty' Sumner, ’57.

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

The continual passing of time, the constant swing of the pendulum oi the old clock that monotonously licked away the eventful, dull, happy, sorrowful, nevcr-to-return hours of every day. Year after year — generations past, present and future, the old clock licked away moments: some forgotten, some remembered, some scorned and some cherished by the generations of inhabitants of the great brick mansion. Moments *— none forgotten by the old clock before whose face passes the cavalcade of lime. The old clock stands at the fool of the massive oak staircase. It is tall and has the stalely pride that the family possesses. The clock, although it can not speak is. without doubt, the most frequently consulted member of the family and it is brimful of the knowledge of generations. Before its polished face passes the continuous story of the family. If one should ever slop to consult the clock upon any happening in the past family history, he would receive a detailed account, even to the color of the lace petticoat that unintentionally peeped out from under the dancing frock of a guest or to the kind of cake and brand of wine served at a certain ball fifty years previous. The clock treasured many secrets, also. No one w i ever know how Miss Jane cried the night her brother and Ronald left for the "YVar Between the Slates. No one will ever guess that Vicki once hid a skunk in the clock because he had found it outside, chilled, and Vicki had a passion for offering the warmth of the house to any less fortunate creature. No one will ever know the exact words that were cruelly passed between father and son. when young •John had returned from an outlandish esca pade. The clock had seen tears, loo. Tears of sorrow at the deaths that dark one cl the days: tears of acute pain when Arnold had been thrown from his favorite marc: tears of injured pride and. perhaps, something else when Margy had been turned over father s knee after the dining-room draperies had mysteriously been cut into grotesque designs: tears of happiness when Bess returned; when Martha descended the stairs all in white satin and tulle, looking so lovely that a lump uncontrollably rose in one s throat. Gaiety, too, had had a generous place . The colorful annual hunt-balls, when lovely ladies from behind open fans, coyly lowered their lashes at handsome men in hunting attire. When laughter rang through the great halls and father, on hot summer days, contentedly sipped mint juleps with his friends. The clock know’s all the stories that play their part in the tableaux of generations. No secrets arc hidden from its sleepless eyes. It is, after all, a good thing that clocks can’t talk, for all tales are safe within the shiny mahogany casing that tells of and sees the passing of time.

They had arrived at the wall which led to Jerry’s house. ’“ By, Sissy,’’ said Jerry. YVilbur walked slowly down the street towards his own home. Everyone railed him sissy because he had never been spanked. YVilbur decided definitely, that he wanted to be spanked. He decided he would try swearing. That ought to do it. he thought to himself. I hat evening at the dinner table his big chance came, “Eat your potatoes, dear. said Mrs. Johnson, Wilbur’s mother. YVilbur abruptly answe red ‘‘No!

I horoughly disgusted, YVilbur was rushed off to bed with a hot water bottle and a dose ol distasteful medicine. YVilbur lay awake in his bed half the night, pondering over his difficult problem. Finally a plan entered his head. If his father refused to give him a spanking he d pretend he had.

"My Dad spanked me so hard that I had to go to bed to get over it.” he said. The boys were astonished. All through school there was a buzz about YVilbur Johnson’s terrific spanking: Wilbur became exceedingly popular After school several little boys fought to see who would be the honored one to walk home with YVilbur. Jerry won. Jerry had never a sked YVilbur to stop at his house before, but this afternoon he insisted upon it and YVilbur told Jerry’s Irish mother the tale of his spanking. Mrs. Ryan was terrified. She immediately went to tell her next-door neighbor, “S ure, n I’ll not be letting such things be a goin’ on in this town while I can help it.” she said to h er neighbor. “Whippin’ such a nice little boy like that. People that h ave a lot of money think they can be a gettin’ away with murder. NIethinks the police ought to be a bearin’ about this. Mrs. Ryan and her friend went to the police and told Wilbur's story. YVhen the policeman reached Wilbur’s house, Mr. Johnson had just returned home from work. Fie did not know what the policeman meant when he began ques­ tioning him about beating his son. Mr. Johnson immediately called YVilbur, who had returned from Jerry’s house earlier in the afternoon. “YVilbur. did I whip you?’’ asked his father. Yes, answered YVilbur. Mr. Johnson and YVilbur were taken to headquarters for further questioning. “For the tenth time, YVilbur. did I whip you?’’ shouted Mr. Johnson. Wilbur’s answer was still "Yes." Mr. Johnson was asked to pay a twenty-five-dollar fine. Page Forly-one i | ' ! i �? * ; ! t ! I . ! ' 1 i There were few words between Mr. Johnson and Wilbur as they relumed home. When ihey entered ihe house Mrs. Johnson met them in the hall, where Mr. Job nson blurted oul furiously. Marion, you have had charge of ihis child long enough. Why he told this atrocious lie. I don’t know, but I do know that he is going to have the kind of punishment I used to get for such things. A good old-fashioned spanking. Wilbur marched triumphantly up to his father’s room. He was going to gel a spanking but it wasn t going to hurt, because he was prepared. Mr. Johnson began to give Wilbur a severe spanking with his hair brush. Wil­ bur was taking it like a man! Not a tear did he shed! After a slight investigation Mr. Johnson found the true cause of Wilbur’s bravery. Wilbur had stuffed a small pillow into the seat of his little breeches. Having made this discovery Mr. Johnson was overcome with amusement. How well he remembered having done the same thing when he had been a boy. However, the fact still remained that Wilbur had told a disgraceful lie. Considerable reasoning between father and son resulted in Wilbur s true confession. Well, everybody said I was a sissy cause I d never been spanked. Mr. Johnson promised, "You’ll have every spanking you deserve from now on, my boy. To be a man you have to be spanked. Right?” "Right, echoed Wilbur.

Already, he could see the small shining tools used by dentists to torture their victims. Too soon he was carried sky-ward in the familiar little cage which stopped with quick jerks, sending shivers down Mr. Jackinlhorpc s spine. Perhaps the dentist would be on a vacation or out to lunch. Why hadn l he taken the time to make an appointment? As he opened the door of the office. Mr. Jackinlhorpc s last hope fled. The room resembled a six o’clock street car. J he two chintz-covered chairs were filled to the brim with two stout and elderly matrons, busily engaged in reading magazines. 1 he chintz-covered couch had been temporarily transformed into an airport, where two small boys diligently kept up an incessant din to accompany their toy airplanes of tin. Their mother, a forbidding creature with smudges of rouge riding her cheek bones, glared at Mr. Jackinlhorpc as he approached the couch. A young girl leaned against the radiator. lost in a current movie magazine. Mr. Jackinthorpe wondered where the nurse was and walked across thc room to the window. After three minutes of staring into infinity and rain, he shifted his we ighl to the left foot and scowled in the general direction of the couch. Why weren l there more chairs? Five minutes later he leaned against the wall and the floor beneath him moved as the microscopic rug slipped forward. Grabbing the radiator. Mr. Jackinto the tho.rpe saved himself from making a complete forced landing. Roaming over L_ window again, he busied himself by watching two raindrops scooting down the pane. "If the fatter one reaches the bottom first, the dentist won l pull that tooth, said Mr. Jackinthorpe. The drop perversely stopped to visit with a fly which buzzed up and down. Mr. Jackinthorpe groaned, and at this moment the door to the inner den opened and a nurse stepped toward him. It was not Miss Flicks, his dentist’s nurse. No. Miss Hicks had never been so young as this girl. “Did you want to make an appointment for a psychological examination? she smiled at him. Mr. Jackinthorpe gulped and backed oul of the door, stammering excuses, 1 here was no point in telling her that he was in the wrong office. He felt dejected after standing so long. The dentist could wait. As he walked down the street he saw a line of people nearly a block long, standing before a theater. Mr. Jackinthorpe mechanically fell in with them. Betty Sumner, ’57.

It has a arge floor and is very convenicnl during the cold weather when we are unable to play outside. It occupies the second floor of the building which used to be Miss Gabel s. School. I he Hall purchased it last year and converted it into the Lower Schoo building. Another attraction in the field of sport is the new tennis court. It is on the grounds of the newly acquired building and is conveniently placed so that the sun does not shine directly on it. It is larger and more level than the old court and has a higher fence surrounding it. Athletics have always played an important part in the lives of the girls at St. Helen’s Hall and we arc all extremely grateful for this new gymnasium and tennis court. QUILL AND INK This year marked the second and third-term history of Quill and Ink, the Literary society ol St. Helen s Hall. It was originally organized February, 1956. under the leadership of five girls: Victoria Hartwell, president: Jeanne Miller, vice-president; Jane 1 aubman. treasurer: Molly McGuire, secretary; and Mary Justine Gilbert, sergeant-at-arms. The head of the English department, who automatically becomes the faculty adviser, is. at present. Mrs. Marguerite DuIIey. I his society was formed for the purpose of encouraging, in the school, ability and sincere interest in the Fine Arts. 1 he bi-annual activities consist of a dinner at the University Club, held the first Wednesday in each term, followed by a meeting to welcome formally, as pledges, those girls in the high school who have given proof of their literary ability, and a contest for the best literary composition judged for its originality of theme, style and skill in presentation. The award for the contest is a perpetual trophy with the winner s name inscribed thereon and is awarded by the Queen of the May Fete, held each May at St. Helen's Flail. Ankcy Larrabce was the first winner of the trophy for her essay entitled, "On Having a Friend. May. 1956. the first Silver Tea was held at the home of Mary Justine Gilbert. This was an exceedingly beautiful event with the Gilbert gardens for its setting and was most successful. Last winter. Quill and Ink presented Ruby-Page Euwer in two miniature plays at their second Silver Tea, held in the school auditorium. Mrs. Euwer s interpreta­ tion of the plays was one of inspiring beauty and was greatly appreciated by the girls of the society. The first Quill and Ink initiation was held at the beach house of Victoria Hart­ well at Neah-Kah-Nie, Oregon. Miss Deborah Smith was an exceedingly adequate chaperon and added much to the success of the trip. Four girls were initiated: Betty Jo Shown. Martha Ditto. Robin Nelson and Lisa Gill. December. 1957, Jean Maguire. Mary Louise Vincent. Jean Shorts and Billie Wade were lormally taken into the society at an initiation held at the home of Robin Nelson in Portland. May 8. 1957, Robin Nelson was again the hostess at a Quill and Ink initiation at her mountain home. Anne Alton, Alice Gregory. M’Liss Locding. Margaret I hurtell. and Palsy Tracy are now members. With the forest as a background, a rousing good time was had by all after the informal initiation. Mrs. DuIIey and Miss Gene Way were sporting chaperons. The officers for 1956-57 are as follows: Jeanne Miller, president: Robin Nelson, vice-president: Betty Jo Shown, treasurer and Martha Ditto, secretary. Page Forly-five ; I !

' ;! ;i Instead of classes playing against one another, as last year, the teams were composed of members of the various classes an d therefore were more evenly ma tched. There was a great controversy as to whether we should play inlerscholaslic volley ball or basketball. Several speeches were made, some advocating basketball, others volley ball, after which a vote was taken and it was decided that we should retain our interscholastic basketball as in former years.

I THE MAY FESTIVAL 1 lie Si. I lelen’s Hall May Ficsla, held on May 12. was a very beautiful affair litis year, although obliged lo be indoors because of the uncertainty of the weather. The auditorium was decorated lo resemble a hacienda of Early California and everything had a Spanish or Mexican touch. The first event was the crowning of the Queen by Betty Jo Shown, master of ceremonies. I he Q ueen, supposedly English, was visiting at the hacienda with her princesses. I he servants of the rancho gave Mexican dances in her honor and mem­ bers of the household performed the Spanish numbers. Everything was very gay as they danced in their colorful costumes lo the clinking of castanets. It made one feel as if one were really in California in the days of the great Spanish fiestas, the gaiety and fun going on all around serving to make the illusion more complete. Then, as a filling climax lo the Festival, there was a real Spanish May Pole dance. 1 his beautiful fiesta was followed by the New Girls’ party lo the Old Girls. I he New Girls presented all the entertainment and thus ended an exciting and most enjoyable day.

Costumes of all shapes, sizes and colors were >exhibited in the Grand March. after which the teachers, who acted as judges, announced the winners. After two hours of hilarious laughter at the peculiar incidents which occurred during the initiation, refreshments were enjoyed by both new an d old members of the Student Body of 1936-37. DANCES Of the numerous activities during the busy scholastic year, two which will be long remembered were the Student Body dances. At the first dance in October the hall was transformed into a barn, with handsome farmers swinging their farmerettes in and out among the haystacks and pitch forks to the music of Johnny Callahan and His Harvesters. On May 1st, to the soft strains of the orchestra, graceful couples swayed to and fro under the quiet lights of the Spring Formal. DRAMA On several occasions the Dramatic Art Class, under the capable direction of Ruby-Page Euwer, offered its bit to the entertainment and amusement of its audiences. WINTER SPORTS From October to March, Ml. Hood. Oregon’s winter playground, was deemed the most popular spot for week-end vacationists. Down the snowy-while Timberline Trail many Flail girls, at various times, attempted to learn the difficult art of skiing, while others took the most dangerous curves with ease and agility.

STUDENT BODY ASSEMBLIES r Throughout the year we were especially fortunate in having interesting programs and speakers fo r our Student Body entertainments. Some of these were : Or. Perry Hopper, who spoke on his travels in Europe; the illustrated talk on I he Olympic Games, given by Robert Krohn; Miss Gibson from Ung ars . whose topic was Choosing a Wardrobe." and the Christmas program at which Bishop Dagwell spoke to us about the "Christmas Spirit,” and the College Chorus completed the program with carols. I }: 1 One of the nicest assemblies, however, was the concert given by Miss Mildred Roberts, a young violinist. It was especially enjoyable because Miss Roberts grad­ uated from the Hall in the Class of 1929. i j SYMPHONY AND OPERA The Ellison White Bureau this year, as usual, offered great attractions for the music lovers. The artists who. without doubt. were the most popular in this concert series were: Fritz Kreisler, Nelson Eddy and Richard Crooks. Other interesting pro­ grams of the year were: the concert given by Serge Rachmaninoff; Gregor Piatigorsky, world-famous cellist, and Poldi Mildner. youthful pianist, both soloists with the Portland Symphony, and the two lovely ballets, Joose European Ballet and the Ballet Russe. The Sunday matinee concerts, given by the Portland Symphony, were well attended this year and the music varied from the lighter compositions of Strauss to the heavy but beautiful Beethoven Symphonies. Before closing this paragraph we should like to mention the Junior Symphony concerts which were quite outstanding in quality for such youthful musicians. The Opera Week in March again brought the San Carlo Opera Company to Portland and once more we were able to hear the famous arias from Carmen. Madam Butterfly, and others. : t ■ $ MUSIC CLUB 'H In November of this year a music club was organized under the direction of Wallace Graham. Jr., the members consisted of Mr. Graham s students and others who were interested in music. This organization, named the Triad Club, is one w hich will grow, and in the future years will be of importance to all student-musicians of ! h the Hall. }• Pugc Sixty j,1' : ! it -V i t i! i'ilS .

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