Editorial As Commencement approaches we look forward to the new life that awaits us, realizing more than ever that, although we may enter other institutions and belong to many organiza­ tions, we shall never really become as much a part of them as we arc of St. Helen’s Hall. We have lived the old traditions set for us by classes since 1869, attended the morning chapel services, rung the old bell, and participated in Baccalaureate and Commencement services until now we have reached the one particularly belonging to us. Our pictures, too, will adorn the walls of the Hall, and we will become a part of the history that greets each new girl. May we feel that besides endeavoring to maintain the standards set by those before us, we have been responsible in some small way for the progress of our school. We have participated in the en­ largement of the buildings and have helped in the inauguration of some new systems. |! t ! : ,1 ft j : ! In viewing the future and recalling the past we may feel small in comparison; still we may derive some satisfaction if we have truly lived our days at the Hall as those girls who have gone before us would have wi ed, and if we have set some new standards and helped to build a progressive school for the ,c who will follow us. May they look back on us as a worthy part of the background of St. Helen’s Hall, and as a reasonable justification for the life work so gen­ erously and graciously given to this great educational institution by the Sisters of Saint John Baptist. —EDITOR. Editorial We are now at the end of our high school life. As we look back over our years of attend­ ance here, we have a feeling of pride in ourselves and our school. We have been privileged to attend an institution whose instruction has been finely balanced, giving us mental, spiritual, and physical teaching. We have received a set of values which will guide us with honor. We go out from Saint Helen’s Hall bearing its honored and loved name. ■ ! ■I . It has been our privilege to sec a great growth in the school, especially in this last year with the erection of the new wing and gymnasium. Think what a difference in the Saint Helen’s Hall of today from that of Bishop Morris’! It is the fulfillment of his dream. It is to the guidance of the Sisters of Saint John Baptist that we owe the training that makes our school’s name and ours respected, and this same training will continue to do so. Our parting hope is that we may always be examples of our school’s motto: "That our daughters may be as the polished corners of the temple.” : i ': i■ •• —LITERARY EDITOR. :l It i ! if i i �NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE ^lie ^Delphic The New Wing and Gymnasium Residents and "old girls" of Saint Helen’s Hall were accustomed to see, facing Fourteenth Avenue, a brown building, scene of many spirited games of basketball and baseball, and the favorite rendezvous of Hall girls during rainy noon periods. But during the past summer, this building was sadly, but joyfully, torn down. Sadly because it marks the end of part of the dear Hall which we jealously want to guard and keep just as we have known it; and joyfully because on the site of the old gymnasium rose the new wing, latest achievement in the Hall’s progress. This new wing was really a necessity, but we often think of it, too, as being a luxury. It houses, on its two upper floors, practically the entire boarding department in comfortable rooms for two girls. These rooms are bright and airy and arc truly a pleasure for their occupants. In addition to the modern rooms, the boarders have been given a beautifully furnished lounge, where on Sunday afternoons a congenial group of girls may always be found around the fireplace writing letters, listening to the radio, or reading. Then again in the evening you may usually find a circle of pajammad, bath-robed, and slippered girls enjoying the compan­ ionship of a fire before bedtime. Across from the lounge is the Haskins’ Room, furnished in maple with double-deck bed, a writing-desk, and two dressers, donated by Dr. and Mrs. Haskins. __ f > YtfKJLlj k A ±41 jTT �:i ' , I i ] if . ■ l i i i ■ ': I The firsr floor of the new building houses three very welcome additions to the Hall, and these additions are important in the light of progress. There is a new, colorfully tiled shower and locker room for the Junior College girls, and also for the benefit of the college, a recreation room complete with ping-pong table, upholstered alcoves, and a piano. This room provides a place that the college girls may call theirs for fun and relaxation. The third room is an addi­ tional art room where aspirants to fame and dexterity with brush or crayon may spend hours under competent instruction. Aside from the joy and pleasure that it brings with its modernness and beauty, the new wing, because it provides space for the boarding department, frees for class use rooms in the main building on the second floor originally intended for scholastic purposes, but used as dormitories ' N until this year. 1 1 ! R With the realization that bod­ ies, as well as minds, need exercise, the Hall, in keeping with its slogan of progress, has erected a new gym­ nasium on the corner of Montgom­ ery and Fourteenth. This building is very modernistic in design, provides space for volleyball, bas­ ketball, baseball, and badminton courts, and includes a gallery for spectators. And so it is possible to realize that the new wing, almost a replica in architecture and material of the main building is a true addition worthy of being part of the progress of the Hall. . ;! ! ; nsnrairb :::::: Hit I ■■■-.l IT || Mm » I i Lv / .

I- ! :: !• . p !; ■ i i : �32 NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE CDeLpkic The Farm 9 Delphic Contest, First Prize Yes, I can see the whole farm as it lay in the narrow valley between the two great rolling hills. I can see each building exactly in its place, and 1 remember every detail of the furnishings of Grandpa Bert and Grandma Beth’s house as they were not very long ago. i 2 There are the hills which were delightfully green and flowered before the hot summer sun’s glow of light caused them to change the green covering to one of loathsome, yellow tickle-grass. I sec the orchard in the springtime with its various kinds of fruit trees blooming as if they really enjoyed displaying their colorful blossoms to their less attractive neighbors, the juniper and willow trees. There is the creek which separated the orchard from the barn. My brother and I passed many a freezing winter day walking on the ice in the creek for the sheer joy of breaking through and getting our feet wet. Now I see the battered, old pole gate leading into the barnyard. It brings to mind the amusing memory of the time when I thought­ lessly walked into the barnyard carrying a huge, black umbrella, and so frightened grandpa’s spirited black marc that she completely demolished the pole gate in her haste to escape. Now I come to the familiar road over which I have traveled many a time, and on the other side of which stands the antiquated white house surrounded by its unkempt yard. There in the yard the old locust tree leans wearily over the roof of the garage, and the poplars stand in a straight, proud row. My swing I can see hanging listlessly in its place between two of the tallest trees. Many a time have I sung about "touching my head up against the sky" as 1 sat there and swung. i When I am within the house my mind is a flood of the many memories about familiar objects I sec. There hanging over the couch is that huge painting of the Indian tepees. As a small child I was always afraid it sometime would fall upon grandpa as he took his afternoon nap below. Behind the stove is the dilapidated leather chair in which great-granny used to sit and shake a warning finger at my brother and me as she mended the family socks many years ago. In the dining room I see grandma’s display of cutglass dishes and the shelves which held her cherished collection of German steins which her sister had brought from Europe. Well do I remember the phonograph in the corner. On rainy afternoons grandma and 1 used to have a variety of musical entertainment at our command. We could hear a Beethoven sonata, be thrilled when Caruso sang "O Sole Mio”, or dance to the music of the "Blue Danube Waltz.” 1 ! : ' Is In the kitchen I see the green dish cupboard in which grandma’s precious Haviland was kept—now the Haviland is mine. There is that vital shelf over the sink which contains the newest patent medicine cure-alls for grandma’s bunions and grandpa’s ailing stomach. The sturdy Monarch range stands in its place, polished and ready for use. I 1 I Everywhere I turn I am greeted by the sight of familiar objects and I long to think of more and sec more. I remember that in going to my bedroom at night I climbed the grey stairs with a kerosene lamp in my hand; and at the top of the stairs I always admired the Indian collection of beads, moccasins, and gloves which grandpa received in exchange for the deer skin he traded to the Indians who camped at the forks of the road in the springtime. As I look back and think of how the bedroom looked I can sec those family portraits lined up in a most in­ artistic straight row on the dresser. There was never anything pleasant about sleeping in that ( ! . ! !i i �T/ze CDelpktc NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE 33 ■ i : room at night because the windows rattled when I walked, the window shade flew up without any warning, and between the walls the mice seemed to be hurrying to get their chores done before dawn. In that queer bedroom I was even afraid to say my prayers on my knees for fear a spirit would emerge from beneath the bed and grab me. In my thoughts I can wander about the farm for hours, and now that is the one comfort I have left. Grandpa and grandma do not live there any more. The beloved furnishings and familiar equipment were sold at a public auction not many months ago. Doubtless some other people live on the farm now, and they have made the changes they desired; but I shall never go back; I shall remember it as it was even though the thought of never returning breaks my heart. When I use the trite phrase "it breaks my heart"', I use it intentionally because I find that something sometime docs seem to break within you when you arc grieved, and no other phrase can express that feeling better. i i I: : i I i 1 j i I I Perhaps parting with the farm was the first of many things from which I shall have to part sometime; but 1 think that I shall cling to mortal life with far less desire than I have clung to the life on the farm. —BILLIE WADE, VI. i l I I I The Fireplace On a rainy evening, nothing suits me better than a fireplace. There is such a fascination in looking into the flame as it twists itself into figures both grotesque and beautiful, and leads one into a realm of make-believe. One can quite sympathize with poor Barnaby Rudge who saw so many fascinating and frightening illusions in the fireplace. There is a drowsy pleasure to be able to sit by a cozy fire, to feel its warmth sink into the soul, to allow the comfort of its presence supply the place of thought itself. It is wonderful to have a bright, crackling fire as a companion through the pages of an absorbing book; then the figures in the book transport themselves into fire images. —ALICE GREGORY, VI. ! i i \ !• .. •• ■ . �34 NINETEEN HUNDRED TI-IIRTY-NINE ^he CDetphic Just a Little Old Man i 3 The storm threatened ominously as I chanced upon the small cabin tucked in among the trees. Haunting strains of a harmonica issued from within. 1 heard the cluck of an unseen hen and toward the rear of the cabin saw a neat little shack, one side of which was filled with wood, the other equipped as a stable. A small pump stood near the door of the cabin, and at the side a neat garden pointed short, green fingers toward the sky. The clearing was neatly kept and was appealing in its ruggedness. Tall pines leaned protectingly over the little house as I led my horse to the door and knocked softly. As I rapped, the harmonica’s strains faded away and a shuffling noise could be heard as the occupant approached the door. I glanced apprehensively through one of the two windows through which the cabin gazed into the woods beyond the clearing. I could see a neat, rugged table upon which stood a kerosene lamp and a tobacco humidor. t ! 1 m The door swung open and a little man peered curiously at me. He was a short, wiry little fellow with lively blue eyes and pink cheeks, crowned with curly white hair. He wore a faded flannel shirt and heavy breeches tucked into thick leather boots. I stood gazing at this un­ believable, storybook character. R j B; ‘'Well?” he queried politely. His voice was high and melodious. I thought of a chime of bells. "I just wondered if I could stay in your cabin until the storm passes,” 1 said in my most honey-and-sugary voice. 'T’ve lost my way and my horse is tired.” A smile broke over his face, making him more enchanting than ever. "Of course, young lady,” he returned. “I would enjoy some company. Come into my humble home. I’ll stable your horse.” So saying, he turned and walked spryly away, leaving me standing at the door. H I felt a drop of rain wriggle down my neck and went into the cabin humming a little tune which I suddenly realized was “Won’t you walk into my parlor, said the spider to the fly?” I laughed aloud and looked about me. The room was meagerly furnished but neatly kept. An old rocking chair stood before the fireplace; a cot stretched in one corner; a tall cabinet stood in another; the third corner contained the table I had seen through the window; and the fourth boasted a gun rack with four guns on it. The little man evidently cooked over the open fire for an iron pot hung over it now, from which came a delicious, meaty smell. My observations were broken by the return of the old fellow, who entered the cabin and walked over to the fire, gleefully rubbing his palms together. p! “It’s going to be a good blow!” he chuckled merrily. I was tempted to ask if he were responsible for it, so proud he seemed, but merely asked if it would last long. "No more than an hour or so,” he stated, and sat down, or perhaps I should say sat up, on the edge of the table, for he had to pull himself up. I sat gingerly on the edge of the rocking chair, the back of which flew up and hit me in the neck, sprawling me on the floor. My host was at once anxious and solicitous for my well-being, but having found me intact, he soon joined in my laughter. His laugh was a lovely thing to hear and I felt that mine was a crude guffaw, compared to his tinkling merriment. . i ! i Thus the ice was broken and, with me settled safely in the chair, we started to converse. The old chap entertained me with fascinating talcs, and played old tunes on his harmonica. We �I j CAg CDelpkic I ' 35 NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE partook of some stew from the iron pot and drank goat’s milk, discussed poets and art. I found him highly educated and intelligent. The storm had been long past when I finally rose and bid a reluctant farewell to my friendly host, promising to return. The little fellow gave me instructions and stood waving until I lost sight of him, having turned a corner. j J finally reached my hotel, situated in the center of the small village, and asked the manager about my little friend. I told of his hospitality, describing his cabin and his own appearance. The clerk was apparently aghast. "You don’t mean that you stayed in his cabin for over an hour, all alone, Miss?” : "Why yes, and he was most friendly and entertaining,” I replied cooly. ; I I t "I don’t want to worry you, Miss,” he went on, "but that man is insane and capable of extreme violence.” He saw the astonishment and disbelief in my face, and hurried on. "His brother brings kerosene, tobacco, and other supplies to him just twice a year, and sees that he is all right. 1 le always brings two guards with him, though. None of the town people will go near his place, since he shot at the preacher one day last spring and beat up Big Joe in the summer. I just forgot to warn you about him and I’ve been worrying all day. It’s really a wonder you aren’t dead.” i I I later discreetly questioned a maid at the hotel and received the same story. I went up 'round there one day, myself,” she went on to say, "and I seen him running through the woods with his gun, an’ when he saw me his eyes just got all glarey and he started yellin’ and chasin’ after me. I came back mighty quick, I’ll tell you!” A few more casual questions, put to various people, confirmed the tale. My friendly, lively old man was absolutely insane!!! I went up to my room that night and cried bitterly into my pillow. I couldn’t have told why I cried; I just felt that everything was all wrong. Perhaps it was disillusionment, perhaps disappointment, or just nerves; I don’t know. I never saw the old fellow again, for I left town the next day. I often wonder if he expects me to return to see him, as I promised I would. I can still see those snapping blue eyes and hear that tinkling laugh. I don’t know if he still lives; that quick, intelligent, diseased mind may now be at rest.

At the mornent, the dainty willow trees seem to nod acquiescence, and the birds gaily trill their approval. 1, too, listen for a while, but the little rivulet’s tale I cannot fathom. Natures secrets are not for mortal ears. Only the willows, and the tiny johnny-jump-ups that line the waters edge, and grandfather bullfrog who sits on the slippery rock in the center of the swirling water can understand her language. A minute later I heard granddad croak disapprovingly of the little story-teller’s methods. Can it be he is rebuking him for the rambling way in which he imparts his story? Perhaps! Age is wise and cannot tolerate the frivolities of youth. After the stream has flowed into a larger river and become more mature, it will settle down to a quieter talc. ! ! But now, dance on, little brook! Many of nature’s kinfolk arc waiting to hear your merry myth. I can only guess at its meaning.

Fog drifting stickily—no sound except that of the eternal "whoo” of the buoy, warning against the rocks—this was the appearance of the morning at four A. M. Odors of pitch, sea­ weed and fish clung to the mist like wet paper on glass. We stumbled aboard ship, the decks wet and slippery. Everything was dull and opaque; none of the usual "shipshapeness” was visible. The ropes were sodden leather in texture, and the sails seemed to be weighted with a cargo of tons of water. The comforting chug chug of an early morning fishing ketch could be heard, and although we could sec nothing it was good to listen and know that someone else was awake and putting to sea. Still smothering yawns, we weighed anchor and silently slipped through the harbor with only a few sails set, watching intently for any other craft. After per­ haps twenty minutes we saw the sails begin to fill; all thoughts of dozing gone, we hastily changed tack, and as we left the fog, we threw all despondence and care behind, facing the rising sun, the blue, blue sea and the new day with joyous hearts and the knowledge that the coming hours would bring happiness. —SUZANNE HOWDERSHELL, VI. I I * ! f* i i Peace Curled comfortably among soft pillows in a big overstuffed chair, I sat watching the flame rise and fall from the oak logs which burned slowly in the fireplace. The rain outside splashed softly against the window panes. Over the radio came a dreamy waltz, and everything was very peaceful. The fire burned lower; the cat’s purring became a soft refrain to the waltz. Life seemed to stop. There was no such thing as time—hours or days or years. The world was all peace, and I and the waltz and the flickering fire and the kitten purring softly were part of it. —MARY-ELLEN SMITH, VI. Awake Under the tall fir trees.

Her bed was high and from it she had a general view of the room, a small room where the huge ceiling lamp made the lighted part glaring, while in sharp contrast the shadows crouched in their corners as if afraid to move from their world of darkness. Everything was so quiet. The doctors on the other side of the room, garbed in the traditional white coats, were speaking in hushed monosyllables while nearby a woman was crying softly. A deathlike silence prevailed; everyone seemed to be waiting. Perhaps she should wait too. She let her eyelids droop and finally close. She was so tired that trying to understand everything around her at once was too hard. As she lay there in stillness, the scent of flowers came to her; at first faintly, but as she strained to catch a further breath of the odor, she recognized it as that of the pinks from her mother’s garden. i I I > I . She was there now, lying beneath the magnolia tree, watching the white butterflies dart back and forth and listening to the drone of bees and crickets. Her mother loved flowers, lots oi them. She saw her mother now, kneeling beside a flower bed, half hidden by her huge garden hat, digging with a trowel into the rich earth. Her mother was a pretty woman who, upon her approach, always reminded her of flowers and beautiful things in nature. She remem­ bered herself as trying to like planting, also, but she had always enjoyed the flowers more when she could look at them. It seemed she could see her mother in every flower; there was always somthing in the petals and sepals that showed her care and trouble. The vision was fading. The smiling face of her mother glimmered and disappeared. Everything was dark now and she was very tired. If only she could sleep, not just close her eyes and lose consciousness, but sleep for centuries in perfect peace and contentment. A shadow flitting before her eyes caused her to wonder. Reappearing, it seemed to take shape. It was beckoning for her to come, but how could she follow? It was farther away now, and perhaps it would leave her alone. But another spectre came, grey in color. She would try to go, but someone was calling her from far away. She opened her eyes once more. The doctors had turned from their circle and were looking at her. The light glared in her eyes, making them smart. A small hand, wet with tears, was tucked in hers. How unhappy this world was. Longing with aching heart for the peace of her mother’s garden she slipped once more into the quiet world beyond her sight. The grey, ghostly figure bent nearer, whisper­ ing. Its world looked so calm and bright and peaceful. Was this the world she wanted and had waited for? Would she find her mother here, in her floppy hat, trowel in hand? Was there peace here as there had been under the magnolia tree where the music of insects had lulled her to sleep? Sleep, blissful sleep. She saw the shadow gliding from her and she softly followed. i —LAUREL KARG, V. ■ . ? 1 �40 NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE Q)e[pltic ; |i i 9 An Old-Fashioned Parlor The moving van had come to move the valuable Old American furniture out of the house on Columba Street. The withered, old couple, who had held on so desperately to their posses­ sions, had passed away, leaving no heirs. The parlor would have been a delight to any antique dealer. Somehow, as you walked into it, it inspired an almost reverent quality. m, The spacious room was exceedingly dark, for the tall windows were nearly covered with dark lace curtains, which trailed on the floor. It was as if the windows were eyes, which had become drowsy, and refused to let any light penetrate. One bright beam, however, did dance through the dusky stillness, and relax in a golden circle on the rich, but now worn, carpet. i There were many high-backed arm chairs placed securely about the room, and the traces of a woman’s hand were revealed in the yellowed, crocheted chair-backs on the backs and arms of the velvety divan and chairs. Behind one of the chairs, in a conspicuous position, was a huge marriage certificate, proudly hanging in a gold frame. In one corner, a significant-looking organ stood, adorned with several small tintypes. The organ was delicately carved, and the matching stool was covered with faded, red plush. Above the impressive fire place was a framed portrait of a bearded gentleman in a Con­ federate uniform. The dignified officer had probably been a family hero for years. ; As the moving men gently lifted the heavy picture down, one of them thought he saw the soldier frown, but he never could be quite sure. —CAROLYN SAYLOR, IV.

NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE CDetpkic Student Body 1 9 • i l 2 ;; : This, the sixth year since the organization of St. Helen’s Hall Student Body, saw an ever increasing interest in its activities. This was due, in large part, to the efficient president, Susan Wolfe, to whose capable leadership we owe the accomplishment and interest of the Student Body meetings this year. Her competent officers for the first term were vice-president, Suzanne Howdershell; treasurer, Anne Alton; secretary, Elizabeth Conley; and sergeant-at-arms, Harriet Conley. Mary Louise Vincent served as editor of the HallIonian. When the second term officers were elected in March, new rules were made, under which the president may run for a second term, and the presidential candidates are "sponsored” by a chosen girl who tells the Student Body of her candidate’s abilities and accomplishments. Also, two sergeants-at-arms were elected and the duties of this office SUSAN WOLFE increased. Susan Wolfe was re-elected to the presidency and thus was able to continue the splendid work begun during the fall term. Second term officers were vicepresident, Marjorie Englchart; treasurer, Margaret Beattie; secretary, Mary Sumner; and scrgcants-at-arms, Sue Lake and Betty-Jo Williams. Hie Student Body carries on work that is traditional from year to year, as well as projects that are original with each new staff. As has been the custom in the past, the Student Body made up baskets for poor families and brought supplies for the Good Samaritan Hospital at Thanksgiving. At Christmas each class prepared baskets for charities, and the Christmas party for the children from the Fruit and Flower Mission was given. The Student Body form a chorus every Tuesday morning under the direction of Mrs. Hildenbrandt, and at the end of the year present a recital. These chorus periods arc sometimes terminated by rallies, for which the Student Body elect cheer leaders. This year the energetic pair who also officiated at the games, were Wilma Rocsch and Mary Deacon. New activities this year include a driving school which was made available to all those in­ terested. Under Secretary of State Snell’s authority, men who are touring the state for this purpose gave us seven lessons in which a good knowledge of safe driving principles was im­ parted. This past year each class sponsored a Civic Theatre Play, which made good entertainment as well as profit. A Constitutional Convention was formed, consisting of Student Body officers and a delegate from each class, in which a new constitution and rule-book manual were drawn up. The Student Body, together with the Junior College Student Body, and both Senior classes brought a beautiful new cyclorama for the auditorium stage. At the end of the year, all re­ maining Student Body funds were given to Sister Superior for the Sister Katherine Angela Memorial Organ. Besides the regular business meetings, the Student Body was entertained and instructed by many speakers throughout the year. These included Mr. Dean Collins, Mr. Quincy Scott, on current events; Miss Daymon, Mrs. Estcrly, and Miss McAfee on various colleges; Mrs. Noyes on the Junior Symphony; Miss Flollingsworth on the Red Cross; Miss Ungar on library work as a vocation; and our own Bishop Dagwell. Although the organization of the Student Body is comparatively young in St. Helen’s Hall, we feel that it is valuable as it furthers the cooperation and interest of the students in their own welfare through self-government. The Red Cross During its second year at the Hall, this organization has been carrying on the work for which it is noted throughout the world. Its activities were effective and included gift boxes for foreign countries and the sponsoring of various Student Body activities to further the Red Cross. I •< i �CDetpkic NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE 47 Junior-Senior Prom Wc Seniors could never feel that our school year would be quite complete without the traditional "Senior Prom.” The Juniors were so generous and thoughtful in arranging this prom to make it truly the best dance of the year. And this it was, indeed, for wc shall never forget the lovely decorations, the sweet music of the orchestra, the familiar punchbowl, and most of all, the exciting atmosphere. It is right that this dance should be unforgettable as for the Seniors it is the culmination of all our school activities. i I Junior Carnival i i As it is the junior class who makes possible the prom for the seniors every June, the custom has arisen that this class shall procure the funds for this dance by organizing a carnival every year. It is given in the spring, and for weeks ahead the students arc dazzled by posters and besieged by pleas to attend. On the eventful evening the auditorium is transformed into a fair ground with gayly colored booths lining the walls, balloons and crepe paper festooning the ceiling, and all other available space roped off for dancing. The crowd is always large, and fun is always to be had, making the carnival truly a success. 1 ; i The Halltonian On reviewing the many items which liven the activities of the Hall, an out­ standing feature is the school paper, the Halltonian. For several years a senior ed­ itor has been chosen for the fall term and the paper has been put out for just one semester. This year, however, the juniors are carrying on in the spring and the girls enjoy this Student Body privilege for the entire year. ■ In order to make the Halltonian en­ tirely a student function, the work of publishing is done by the girls, even to the LAUREL KARG MARY LOUISE VINCENT actual printing. For this part of the work, the school mimeograph is used, and all of the mechanical work is done with enthusiasm by the journalism club members. Typing is an essential qualification in this line, as the cutting of the mimeograph stencils must be a practically flawless masterpiece. Even the process of mimeo­ graphing requires ingenuity and a thorough knowledge of the machine before a truly exemplary edition can be published. Cooperation is very strong among the girls. With their aid, this last year the Halltonian is proud of the example it has set for the future. Many changes have taken place this year in relation to the paper. A journalism club has been formed as one of the regular school organizations. Its main interest is the Halltonian, which it has improved a great deal with the more "up-to-date” journalistic style of writing and organizing. The feminine note is seen with an occasional colored issue, in keeping with a holiday, such as orange at Hallowe’en and ivory and gold at Christmas. I i The Halltonian is a school function which adds much to the luster and quality of the advantages offered by Saint Helen’s Hall to its students. It is the hope of all, that it will con­ tinue on the same path of high standards which it has set for itself, and will forever present ideals which arc worth while. ■ j | �I 3N i ■ I ■ •; i Clubs k:- This year marked tlie beginning of a new system of clubs in Saint Helen’s Hall. The clubs are for everyone instead of a select few, and the girls belong to the group in which they are the most interested. Each club has its own officers and also an adviser. They have meetings twice a week during school time, and they plan their own programs for the year. The results have been satisfactory in every way. & ■ . i M: m ART CLUBS—There arc various art clubs this year: namely, the Sketch Club, the Plastic Arts Club, the Woodcarving Club, and the Pottery Club.

C ; i !•\ .;> % > i i . m i i I r I I,: Athletics Athletics have always been held as a very necessary part of every girl’s education at the Hall, for in addition to making more healthy bodies, athletics promote coordination, teamwork, i I and more important, sportsmanship. Games are usually played just for the love of playing, for serious competition is limited to intra-muial games and tournaments within the school. These contests form a large part of the school-life. In almost any sport that a girl could choose, she could find equipment, instruction, and friendly competition at St. Helen’s Hall. i in the school. It is they who The Athletic Club has always played an important part in sponsor and manage the tournaments, and also who present the awards for outstanding ability. I: i I �I j CDetpkic ; NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE 51 BASKETBALL—Basketball has long been one of the favorite sports enjoyed by all Hall girls, as the different classes always have their teams and competition is held between them. This stimulates both class and school spirit because of the friendly rivalry among them. Besides competition between classes, the "star” players arc grouped together to form a team which challenges the Junior College to a hard-fought battle. Two games were played this year; the first won by the college with a score of 19-18; and the second in which the High School fared rather better and proved victorious with a score of 31-18. i J :! i I VOLLEYBALL—Volleyball is the favorite of the girls who prefer a team game which is of a gentler type than the others, although they have found that this game ranks at the top in requiring speed and coordination between players. The high school formed a varsity team picked from the seniors which played the Junior College and won with a score of 18-32. i I ■ * ■ ■y I I BASEBALL—Baseball is the popular game of the first warm days in the spring. Although many games arc played during the course of the gym periods and the intra-mural tourna­ ments, some of the most interesting baseball can be seen during the lunch period when balls arc batted indiscriminately, and lives, lunches, and window panes seem to be in danger. 1 i; ! If BA DM IN ION—Badminton has rapidly grown in favor during the last two years, as it is an active game and is convenient as an indoor as well as an outdoor game. An extensive tourna­ ment was carried on in the spring, sponsored by the Athletic Club. SWIMMING—Swimming is carried on during the winter months in a nearby club pool. It was started by the boarders, but soon interested the "day dodgers” who missed the swimming pleasures. In the spring and summer, students have the privilege of swimming at "Ever­ glade”, the school’s estate at Oswego Lake. TENNIS—Every free moment of the late spring is devoted to the tennis courts, and the more serious of the fans don’t even waste their lunch periods, but spend it with a racquet in one hand and a sandwich in the other. The tennis tournaments command some of the hardest playing found in any sport, but often this hard work is rewarded and the freshman who spent most of her game running out of the court after balls, may, by the time she is a senior, find herself at the top of the tournaments. I ENC1NG—One of the most interesting of sports offered at the Hall is fencing. These classes obtain expert instruction from Miss Lavanture, who has held titles in this art. Some pupils become adept at feinting and lunging, and others seem to acquire nothing but sore muscles for months, but all agree that fencing holds a fascination. 'g ill 1 V ;i f •: • \ : i I !B ; i i i 1 ; ! ' ! �s V 2 i I 1 i May Regatta The May Festival at Everglade was an event of the year’s calendar to be long remembered by everyone. The ceremony of the crowning of the queen began the festivities when the mistress i of ceremonies placed a wreath of flowers on the head of Queen Susan I. In honor of hermajestry K i | : . « 5! and the royal court, swimming and canoe races were held, and a water pageant of floats beauti­ fully decorated with colorful flowers paraded before the throne. The entries represented the classes, clubs, and individual girls. After the judges had finally come to a decision, her royal highness graciously presented the winners with awards. Later the "new” girls served refresh- m• ments and entertained the "old” girls with skits and stunts. li Altogether the regatta was a great success. Queen Susan Wolfe and Princesses Frances Miller, Nancy Browning, Jeannette Christensen, Margaret Thurtcll, Thelma Amacher, and Gloria Kibbee composed the royal court, and Anne Alton presided as mistress of ceremonies and chairman of all the festivities. . ; B: ! II : l �!! Q)elphic NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE 1 53 Everglade : : Although only twelve miles from the central part of Portland, Everglade seems hundreds of miles distant; it is peaceful and calm in the midst of tall trees and verdant green casting a rippling reflection on Lake Oswego. ■ : The house is large, with diningroom, kitchen, and sizable dormitory. Each of the two livingrooms has a fireplace, and there arc porches on two sides of the house. Everything is car­ ried cut in rustic simplicity, yet nothing is lacking to give comfort. Outside there arc lovely flower beds and paths among trees with rustic benches in nooks that are cool and fragrant from the sap of the trees. There is a tennis court and a broad stretch of lawn overlooking the lake. There arc boathouses containing a motorboat, canoes, and rowboats. During the warm months there is swimming. Nothing could be more delightful than to iloat on one’s back in the cool water and, looking up, find blue sky and green for­ ested mountains. I I I I I I k I I i Everglade is the boarders’ haven, and what could be more perfect after a busy week than relaxation and sports in the simplicity of the surroundings of Everglade? THE BOARDING DEPARTMENT The boarding department, a part of the student-body during school hours, after three o’clock in the af­ ternoons and dur­ ing weekends be­ comes a compact little group with­ in itself. It draws girls from Alaska, Oregon, Washing­ ton, and Califor­ nia. Even far-off New Jersey has a representative. So there is a mingling of personalities and tastes that stimulates friendship. i i •I If The boarders are organized into a group with its own officials. They are, this year, Nadine Thomas, president; Harriet Crawford, vice-president, and Margaret Thurtcll, sec’y-trcasurer. Each year the boarders present the mystery play at Christmas time, and this year have given a house party in honor of their new wing. ! 1 } i ; l I �54 NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE CDeipliLC V i: 9 !

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.
