editorial
As we, the Senior Class of 1940, prepare for our Commencement, we begin to realize its
true significance. Upon entering St. Helen’s Hall we were greatly impressed by the many
traditions which have made this a school of firm purpose and high ideals.
We arc privileged to be under the personal supervision of the Sisters and faculty, learning
from their store of knowledge. We are fortunate to be a part of a school where the spiritual and
academic course of study is well balanced.
The task of educating students is not easily fulfilled during these trying times of turmoil
and disaster in the foreign countries, since it is difficult to keep the relations in the school and
home free from dissension.
The scope of education at St. Helen’s Hall is wide, enabling each girl to find the field in
which she is the most interested. The curriculum consists not only of the more formal sub­
jeers which a short time ago were thought to be all important, but also includes more flexible
forms of education. Girls of St. Helen’s Hall are gu.dcd and encouraged, and their personalities
are developed.
We will always be grateful to the Sisters of Saint John Baptist, who have given us an
educational foundation upon which to build, and we leave St. Helen’s Hall with its motto in
our hearts, hoping that we may be "as the polished corners of the temple.”
—EDITOR.

EDITORIAL
We, the graduating class of 1940, find ourselves setting out to shake hands with the
world in the midst of a war year. For many months our lives have been interwoven with
stories of bombs over Europe and unbelievable privations which all involved nations have under­
gone. We have read and seen newsreels of black outs, air raids, devastation of property, and
complete demolition of democratic ideals.
When we see how education in war areas has been blotted out, the gift of knowledge which
we Seniors are carrying away from St. Helen’s Hall this June seems all the more precious. It
doesn’t seem so important that we have itemized facts concerning Alexander the Great or
Boyle’s chemical law stored away in our brains, but that we have gained an appreciation of this
great fertile land which we as the coming generation will govern. In our experience at the Hall
we have learned to think for ourselves, to keep our minds alert, to discriminate between mere
propaganda and the real facts. We can discuss any subject with a cool head and a respect for
the opinions of others. Most of all, we are aware of the serious responsibility to be placed upon
us as future citizens and the safe-guarders of peace and democracy.
With these qualifications we throw back our shoulders, lift our heads high, and step for­
ward.

CHAPEL

Our Chapel with all of its spiritual significance and simple beauty has grown with
the tradition and beauty of the Hall.
The Chapel could never have been what it is, however, if it were not for the
gracious gifts of loyal friends and students. The altar and pulpit were presented in
memory of a girl who passed away suddenly. The lamps, hung before the sanctuary
which represent the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Ghost, and the exquisite mother of
pearl and silver cross, arc also memorial gifts. Several of the brass vases on the altar
were presented in memory of Sister Katherine Angela. One of the most beautiful and
important of all these gifts is the majestic organ, just newly installed, which has been
presented by Mrs. Beebe in memory of her husband. The fund which had been partly
raised for an organ will be used to purchase a console with outstanding records of sym­
phonies, oratorios, and operas. It will stand as an undying tribute to Sister Katherine
Angela, who inspired music and its true appreciation in the girls at the Hall.
The next dream is to have a beautiful rose window above the altar, which will
reflect the light of God upon those who have worked so diligently to glorify this, our
Chapel, His holy place of prayer.

HOOD

DELPHIC CONTEST, HONORABLE MENTION
Alone, hushed, and waiting, she watches our folly and wisdom, alike. Knowing, yet silent,
she grieves at our dark clouds and hides in the mist, or rejoices in sunshine and comes forth to
add to the glorious world. Alone, yes, for what could accompany the regal supremacy or
lofty splendor? Alone, no, but vibrating with people, in joy and laughter, noisy with cries of
the novice, resolved with intent of the climbers, thrilled with the awe of the crowd.
Alone, and still, waiting for night, when vacationists tell of ghost stories or dance in
exciting clear cold to the tunes of some famous-name band, when caretakers and yearlong
residents bring up new problems that come, or thinkers inspired by awe, perhaps, delve into
why it is so, for then is when stars on their eastern journey dip down for a while, or night in
its own brilliant darkness discusses new issues of time.
Interested, listening, and hearing the pulse of a people at play, she watches the cities and
farms with their serious business of life. Yet she has had memories cut of the past, which in
moments of calmness she ponders. She remembers her own great creation when she rose above
other land, when trees started growing around her base, and were replaced by some more of
their kind until huge tracts of greenery glistened, as a pedestal showing her off. With water and
rich soil she fed them ’til fire raged over one part and acres of Oregon timber were destroyed
by a man who forgot. She has noticed the growth of a nation that spread from the cast to the
west, and these pioneers founding an empire that rivals the one of the cast.
Still, silent, and splendid, she watches . . .

I HAVE A CLUTTERED MIND

I

I have a cluttered mind. The following alibis will help to explain the gradual deterioration
of what was once a fairly receptive and sane state, or in other words, how I got that way. I do
not presume to compare myself to Eleanor Roosevelt, but "My Day” is very nearly as hectic
as hers. Perhaps the only difference is that I don’t travel. No, indeed. I remain in the same
spot, a mass of accumulated facts and figures without any seeming relation to each other.

i
j

It is my misfortune that there arc so few remaining months to know my geometry
theorems, English Puritans, Sacraments in Sacred Studies, lines for the Senior play, sketches
for the Delphic, and how to drive a car.

I

Unfortunately such worthwhile information seems to be mixed up with movies, war news,
spring clothes, costumes, diets, and what not. This all leaves me in such a state that when I am
pounced on by my locker partner frantically demanding the combination I am just as apt to
offer a complicated square root or the number of calories allowed me in my daily diet.
Another good example of my frenzied state is when my father asks the time and station
of Information Please or Major Bowes Amateur Hour. I don’t know whether he thinks I am
a walking radio schedule or just naturally bright.

&amp;

Did 1 say my mind was cluttered? It’s a complete black out!
—GEORG I ALEE HOUSMAN, VI.

A DESCRIPTION

i
I;

{•

Up the pathway, winding timidly through thickets which clutched at its ever narrowing
sides—on up the frivolous stream, tumbling over the banks which tried in vain to stay its
swelling tide—over then the last tiny hillock, around the last bend in the creek and it was
there. That rare beauty of a God-created masterpiece in its natural entirety. No worldly scar
was traced upon its face. No human hand had left its imprint there. Time alone had mellowed
it, and softened its rugged features into a wave of perfect harmony. The tiny rivcrlet, now a
marsh, stretched lazily, and seemed to try to encompass the two horizons in its grasp. On
cither side, slopes of glistening green rose suddenly to press it back, while ahead, a towering
peak poured its snowy covering into the turquoise bowl nestled peacefully at its feet. There
was beauty in the sound of the wind whispering through the trees, in the sound of the honking
mud hen who appeared among the rushes to defy approach, as her chicks hopped off to safety,
in the sound of an occasional splash, as a shimmering trout leapt from the water. But most
beautiful of all was the sound of peaceful silence which descended from the celestial ceiling,—
from God.

THE WATER TRAIL
High up among the lofty mountains, a crystal spring bubbles out among the boulders, and
courses downward, leaping over the pebbles, swirling about the larger rocks, ever onward,
gathering volume, as it goes until it meets the first straggling trees—the hardy ash, the stunted
pine and firs, mere dwarfs of the towering lowland giants, clinging branch and root to the bare
face of the cliff.
Now grown to a brooklet, it tumbles down the steeps, churning into a misty froth which
leaps up to wet the ferns, bending to see their agitated reflections in the dancing water.
At the foot of the cliff it seems to pause for a brief moment in a swirling pool, then hurries
along into the dim twilight of the dense woods, where the great, gnarled trees, aged and learned,
stretch out their roots to let the water play about them, and the rich green carpets of moss lie
heavily upon the stones along its brink. Here the trout, like silver streaks, haunt its crystalline
depths, and the minnows and crawfish take each pebble for a home or hiding place. Here the
birds bathe unafraid in its shallows, and the dainty violets, white, gold, and purple, bloom in
prolusion by its banks and mirror themselves in the quiet pools. Here God seems very near.
But even while surrounded by such idyllic beauty, it needs must hurry ever onward to its
unknown destiny.
Leaving the gloomy forests, it leaps into the brilliant sunshine of the meadows. The sheep
gra/.e about the verdant fields, and the weird notes of the shepherd’s pipe—one could think
’twas Pan’s—sound faintly upon the air. The gaily colored daisies and poppies which border the
brock dance and curtsey in the balmy zephyrs. But onward it goes, not hurrying now, as it
seems loathe to leave the green pastures, until it enters the little village nestling in the heart of
the valley. Her it is subdued—nay not subdued, but rather captured and made to turn the
water wheels, causing the mills to grind. At last, tumbling over itself in its urge to gain free­
dom, away from the dingy streets and buildings, it passes beneath a wooden bridge, the last of
many, and finally gains the meadow once more. The same gay meadow, the same brook—
yet not the same, for now it flows sluggishly and wearily no longer crystalline, but now brown
and polluted by man. Lined on either side by drab banks, it proceeds drearily. Here and there
willow trees bend over it tearfully as if in mourning for the lost purity and sylvan beauty of
the stream. At last the great river looms ahead, and like a weary traveler, choked with silt,
branches afloat, here a box, a can, a board, the stream creeps on toward the eddying current to
meet and mingle with the mighty waters—to meet, to mingle, and be lost forever.

A moss-covered log in a forest glen,
The thrilling song of a small, brown wren.
The ocean’s sad, devouring waves,
The golden sand, their green tongue craves.
The first warm day that brings the spring.
The chiming sound of a church bell’s ring,
A cosy fire, a book, and rain
Beating a tunc on the window pane.
A luscious cake with frosting thick,
A grandfather clock with a solemn trick,
A beautiful gown with a flowing train,
A tree all shiny after a rain.
These are only a few of many a thing,
Neither actor can act, nor singer can sing.

CAT

The sunlight streamed in through the parlor window, its hazy beam making a soft, warm
spot cn the thick carpet. A cat, silky-soft and sleepy was dozing in the blessed warmth and
softly purring to himself. His silvery fur was tinted with gold in the light and as he some­
times moved his feathery tail, glints of brilliance were caught in it. He rolled over onto his
back, stretching his paws into the sun, squinting his eyes in the light, and purring loudly in
his languid satisfaction.
Peace. The calming presence of a cat, the soothing of my raucous voice when he purrs
for me and the sudden slowing down of hurried feet when he softly pads beside me, makes me
wish 1 were a cat and could live his life of toiless care in place of mine.

STUDENT BODY
One can well say, after looking back over the accomplishments
and of the past two terms, that the seventh organized year of the
St. Helen’s Hall Student Body has truly been an unusual and a succcssful one. Thc officers for the terms were Anne Alton.
president; Jean Morrison, vice-president; Dclphinc Parr, treasurer;
Beatrice Nash, secretary; Marilyn Adair and Beverly Shaw,
sergeants-at-arms; Betty Bevil, Assistant Editor of the Halltonian.
Fer the second term they were Anne Altcn, president; Beatrice
Nash, vice-president; Beverly Shaw, treasurer; Jean Morrison, sec­
retary; Marjorie Besson and Margaret Sarri, sergeants-at-arms; Jenclyn Gaston, Assistant Editor of the Halltonian.
Perhaps the most important phase of the student body is its
student government. Working on the foundation which the cabinet
\ N \ i ALTON
of the preceding year had laid, the newly organized cabinet of last
September submitted several changes in the Constitution to the student body for ratification,
and they were found acceptable. Later an experiment with a more complete democracy in
student government proved too great a responsibility and a more strict system of penalties was
enforced. Discussions were held by the cabinet on criticisms and suggestions submitted by the
student body concerning the government. The cabinet consisted the first term of student
body officers; Peggy Mag.'ll, Editor of the Halltonian; Marjorie Englehart, Mary Sumner, Mary
Aldrich, Nada Skidmore, and Virginia Lee Fenton. The second term they were Betty Bevil,
Editor of the Halltonian; Marjorie Englehart, Margaret Renton, Jane Klahrc, Sly via Thomas,
Marvbellc Reed, and Emclia Mctrovelli. Though opinions at times during the year greatly
differed, every student learned much concerning democracy and the personal responsibility it
entails.
As its usual custom the student body supplied Thanksgiving dinners for poor families,
helped the Boys’ and Girls’ Aid Society in their work at Christmas, and distributed Lenten
clothes to less fortunate children at Easter.
Natural dancing made its debut at the Hall this year and a group of girls represented the
student body at a dance festival sponsored by the State Federation of Music Clubs. In coopera­
tion with the chorus a number of talented students sang with the Portland Philharmonic
Orchestra in March. The driving school was again a feature of great interest under the direction
of the Department of State and Secretary Snell.
The successful roller skating parties sponsored by the student body were highlights of the
year. Unforgettable also were the student body dances. An autumn informal was held which
was no less exciting and colorful than the April informal welcoming spring.
Mention should be made of the energetic yell leaders, Marjorie Erwin and Betty Hopper,
whose vim and vigor made our games with the Catlin’s School and the St. Helen’s Hall Junior
College outstanding.
This year will be remembered for Mrs. Walter Beebe’s gift to our Chapel of the large pipe
organ urgently needed and greatly appreciated. This student body’s annual gift to Sister
Superior was used to buy a console for the organ and dedicated to the memory of Sister Katherine
Angela.
In addition to the regular business meetings and student assemblies, the student body was
privileged to hear such speakers as Dr. T. Z. Koo on conditions in China; Mrs. Burke, a missionary from Alaska; Miss Breuncr on the "Romance of Silver”; Amos Berg, the eminent ex­
plorer; and Miss Basset on Negro folk lore. Dr. Emil Enna entertained with a piano concert
and Leslie Hodge, conductor of the Portland Philharmonic Orchestra, gave short sketches on
the piano of different symphonic arrangements.
All in all one can look back upon the year’s events with enthusiasm and pride, remember­
ing many wonderful days of hard work and comradeship.

To a newcomer at the Hall, the numerous activities impress themselves deeply upon her
mind and one of the most outstanding of these is the students’ bi-weekly paper, The HalltonianIt is a mimeographed publication and is put out entirely by the girls themselves. The journalism
club was organized especially for the staff and under the supervision of their adviser, Miss
Waffle, and the Sisters, their work is accomplished in true journalistic style.
Again this semester we have had an editor from the senior class in the fall, and one from
the junior class in the spring. Our senior editor this time was Peggy Magdl, and her junior
successor, Betty Bevil. Under their organization the staff has worked its hardest, hunting
down good news items, typing out the stencils and helping with the actual mimeographing,
the main part of which usually falls to the editor herself, however. The art work is handled
by an art editor who learns how to adapt her drawings to and put them on the stencils with
the mimcoscope. Occasionally colored issues are put out, which tend to break the drab monotony
of the regular black and white, and also have tremendous appeal for their feminine readers.
This year The Flallfonian has been trying to avoid as much as possible the use of "school
gossip” to create reading interest. Instead, students’ opinions on world affairs are expressed in
various articles which are of interest to many. Also, better books and movies are reviewed for
the purpose of stimulating the girls’ taste. The activities of different outstanding national
figures are summarized as occasional features, all of which, together with the regular school
news, makes The Halltonian an exemplary publication. Whole-hearted support and cooperation
among the staff, and the interest and helpful criticism of the rest of the students, however,
are the factors which make our paper what it is. We are deeply thankful for these and are
immensely proud of our Halltonian.

JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM
Dim lights, new spring formats and dancing couples blended with the decorations which
transformed the auditorium into a beautiful ballroom—the whole making a perfect picture.
The juniors paid tribute to the seniors by giving this dance—expressing their sorrow at seeing
the seniors leave and their wishes for success to them in the coming years. Slowly the lights
faded, the couples drifted out and the dance was ended, but the memory of this prom mingled
with the other happy memories of high school days.

JUNIOR CARNIVAL
Bright colored crepe paper booths gayly mingling with cries of joyous laughter spells a
carnival, and so it spelled the Junior Carnival. A miniature night club was the main feature
with all the colored lights and whirling couples of a gay rendezvous. The seniors looked at the
tired happy juniors and remembered their carnival with all its hard work, fun, and real education
and at the same time looked forward to the future carnivals—each benefiting from the last,
making use of its good points and avoiding its mistakes.

THE DRAMATIC ART CLASS
The Dramatic Art Class should take a bow. Its many inspirational plays were warmly
applauded by the girls; and why? Because of Miss Carolyn Bowers’ and Miss Mary Hobson’s
untiring and careful work with the class.
The outstanding play was given during the week of Lincoln’s Birthday and was named
"Solemn Pride”. It touched the heart of many a Hall girl.

OLD GIRL NEW GIRL PARTY
The annual and eventful party for the new girls at the Hall is one really enjoyed by all,
even though an initiation takes place. Everyone is in costumes. After the initiation, Sister
Superior serves the guests with refreshments, a deed which by now is indeed a Hall tradition.

PHILHARMONIC
A great opportunity enjoyed by the Hall this year was the accomplished task of singing
with the Portland Philharmonic Orchestra, under the very capable direction of Mr. Leslie
Hodge. The chorus consisted of fifty girls from the high school and junior college departments,
who were featured second on the symphonic program. The choral part sung by the Hall girls
was from Debussey’s "The Blessed Damozel”, and was richly applauded.

MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT
DANCES
School dances arc events always eagerly looked forward to weeks in advance, by all students.
Committees plan carefully for orchestra, decorations, refreshments, and other important
features packing fun and excitement into every minute. This year the student body sponsored
two informal frolics, the first being held in the fall on November 10, with Bette Chessman and
her escort walking away with honors in the prize dance. The spring dance cn April 20 took
on a Hawaiian note with palm trees, flowers, and girls with brightly colored leiis. All students
agree that these dances add just the right touch of gaiety to the year’s calendar.

EVERGLADES
Among the extra-curricular activities of the Hall, a number of the most important take
place at our lake house on Oswego Lake. The house itself, situated on a point jutting out into
the lake, provides not only a game room, living room and kitchen, but a dormitory housing
the girls. A small chapel is one of its less rustic features and enables Sunday services to be
held. Two large indoor fireplaces lend a friendly atmosphere and furnish an opportunity for
story telling and marshmallow feasts.
The house, surrou nded by cool lawns and shady trees, is directly on the lake. Canoes and
rowboats, swimming and diving facilities, a tennis court, and a swing are at the disposal of the
girls. Sister Superior often takes a party out in the motor boat, and the afternoon hours are
spent exploring the lake.
Everglade is used not only for class parties, picnics, and outdoor
ceremonies, but by the
boarders for informal week ends. It is no wonder that Everglades with its numI '
and activities, is one of the Hill’s

BOARDERS’ MYSTERY PLAY
Each year the Boarding Department looks forward to its traditional Christmas Mystery
Play with enthusiasm. Given on the evening before school is dismissed for the holidays, the per­
formance is preceded by a gay buffet supper for the participants and their day-scholar guests.
The play, in four acts, tells the age-old tender story of the Annunciation by the Angel
Gabriel, the announcement to the awe-stricken shepherds, the cunning of King Herod, and
finally the birth of the Blessed Savior in a lowly manger.
Under the direction of the older girls, the production is ably supervised by Sister Agatha
Louise and much of the credit for its success should be attributed to her excellent guidance.
Besides the thrill of production and learning Christmas hymns, the mystery play affords
the spiritual touch without which no Christmas is complete.

MAY FETE
May 21 marked the climax of the spring term at St. Helen’s Hall with the annual May
Fete. The fete is one of the Hall’s traditions and is presided over by the May Queen and her
court, which is selected from the senior class by the Associated Student Body. The Queen
presiding over this year’s festivities and bestowing awards was Anne Alton. Assisting Anne as
Mistress of Ceremonies was Beatrice Nash, who was chosen to represent the junior class at this
festival. The court was composed of Princesses Laurel Karg, Joanne Marble, Emma Jane
Pearson, Bette Chessman, Marjorie Besson, Marjorie Englchart.
Following the bestowing of awards the day was brought to a close with the new girls
entertaining the old girls with a dinner and various skits. At the end of these the Queen
abdicated and the court dispersed. Thus another event of the year was brought to a close.

SKI

CLUB

The Ski Club is a new and entirely different organization which has flourished successfully
this year. Its purpose is to furnish the members with an opportunity to visit and ski at Mt.
Hood, several times. Under the able leadership of Marjorie Englehart, such visits have occurred
about every other week.
The average ski trip starts about 8:00 o’clock Saturday morning with the appearance of
around twenty sleepy but eager girls. The Hall procession consisting of the bus piled high with
skiis and packed with girls, followed by Sister Superior’s car and perhaps one other, winds its
way up tc Timberline, Government Camp or maybe the comfortable cabin so kindly lent to
the girls by Mrs. Decs. At the mountains, arrangements have been made to meet Horace
Mcchlcm, Jr., a teacher in the Journal ski-school and an expert skiicr, who generously has de­
voted much of his time to helping the girls.
The Ski Club is one of the best ways cf making the girls appreciate the Hall. There is a
chance to see some of the teachers in their lighter moods and realize what a fine faculty this
school has; it lets them know better Sister Superior, who readily' admits that the club is one of
her pet hobbies; and it brings the girls together in a spirit of comradeship.

athletics
On Friday, April 5, the Hall basketball team, the "Spinsters”, invaded the Catlin School
gymnasium and one of the most exciting games in the history of the Hall then ensued. The
"Spinsters” under the capable leadership of Captain Jean Morrison covered themselves with
glory even though they did finish with the low end of a 20-18 score. Basketball, a game of
skill and speed, is one of the favorites in the field of sports which the Hall offers its girls. This
game gives the girls a chance to improve themselves in group cooperation.
Dating from the earliest days of St. Helen's Hall it has been its policy to combine athletics
with the scholastic curriculum of the school. Through these outside recreations the girls have
an opportunity to become acquainted with one another and to further their own achievement
in different fields.
In order to promote the many possible activities a Sports Club was formed. At the close
of the year this club presents the outstanding girls in the various fields with honors and awards.
The Sports Club is also instrumental in promoting intra-mural games, tournaments, and inter­
scholastic meets.
Volleyball is one of the most popular games among the girls. A school volleyball team
was formed and exchanged some friendly banter with the Junior College team, which was
disastrous to the college. A visiting team from the Catlin School forced the Hall team reluc­
tantly to give in after a fast and furious battle.
In the spring the Hall girl’s fancy lightly turns to baseball and the campus rings with the
shouts of the girls as an exceptionally high fly sails over the fence proclaiming a "homer” for
the lucky wiclder of the bat. With baseballs winging through space it is a marvel to everyone
that the surroundings are still intact at the end of the season.
For those who don’t trust themselves with the mighty bat the feathered shuttle-cock
offers a great relief. The badminton enthusiasts find this sport much faster than they had
previously imagined and to their amazement they find aching muscles easily produced. A
badminton tournament consisting of singles and doubles competition takes place in the spring.
Although golf is one of the newer forms of recreation at the Flail it is fast becoming one
of the most popular forms of out-door amusements. The accuracy and precision necessary to
perfect this sport presents a definite challenge to all youths who like the out-of-doors.
No sport, it seems, will ever replace the game of tennis. The Hall has two large courts
and future Wimbledon stars may be seen at all hours of the day fully enjoying this sport which
requires every extra ounce of one’s skill and energy. The girls arc constantly practicing for
the singles and doubles tournaments which take place toward the end of the year.

Turning back to medieval recreations the girls obtain much enjoyment out of fencing.
This sport often used as a method of offence and defence is now converted into an art in­
volving the skill of parrying, lunging, and feinting. Under the direction of Mrs. Irvine, who
has held many titles in this field, the girls gain much knowledge of the age-old art.
For all girls who are interested in swimming, the Flail provides Everglade at Lake Oswego
for their entertainment. Everglade, cradled among the trees, is situated on the very edge of the
lake and not only offers swimming and diving but also canoeing, motor-boating, and rowing.
This variety makes it one of the girls’ favorite sports.

The girls find it very easy to choose from this wide variation of sports one in which they

              <text>This is an OES yearbook from 1940. 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.</text>
