It is uncertain and bewildering because world progress continues at such a rapid pace that it is difficult to prepare ourselves to keep abreast of the times. Being graduates of the Hall, we have found our years here of the utmost value to us, for our school progresses year by year, adopting the highest standards of the educational world. Aware of this, our class steps into the future without fear, for we know the Sisters of St. John Baptist have given us a firm foundation upon which to stand. We have learned to cooperate through school activities, to share our material as well as our spiritual wealth with those less fortunate, and lastly to appreciate and to take advantage of all opportunities given us for broadening our outlook and scope of knowledge. These past years in the Hall which we leave behind have been happy, profitable ones on which we can turn our thoughts in the future to brighten our separate ways. Though we may be far apart let our hearts ever stand as one in loyalty to our St. Helen’s Hall. THE EDITOR. EDITORIAL Progress is the theme of our school and the theme of the world. In Europe it is progress in devices of destruction; they build up only to tear down. In our school it is progress in edu­ cation, and in our nation it is progress in science, new inventions, better government, labor, and machines. St. Helen’s Hall has equipped us to judge carefully a new movement before accept­ ing it and to give it a fair trial before discarding it. And so it has prepared us to go out and face this rush of sweeping progress of a peaceful country alive here in our nation so that after the war we will not be left trodden and helpless in the midst of chaos, easily led by bold leaders of an unrighteous cause. Those of us who have been graduated from St. Helen’s Hall will find it easier to uphold our age-old progress because we have something firm to stand on—our years of well-rounded progressive high school education. Always our school will be behind us, a school whose roots are deep, a school which will stand firm and solid forever in the noble place it has made for itself. As we step into our own places as leaders of tomorrow, we will help to keep the flashing beacon of our nation shining so that its penetrating rays may reach across the ocean to the lands of destruction and bring hope and guidance for peace, unity and progress.

For many years the Sister Superior had even started a fund toward it This hope was fulfilled when Mrs. Walter B. Beebe gave a beautiful pipe organ to the school in memory of her husband. The fund which had been started was used to purchase a console and records. This will stand as an everlasting memory of Sister Katherine Angela who taught the ■ girls at the Hall to love and appreciate music. Sister Superior has given several lovely concerts ,v on the console for the student body. A Chapel Guild was started this year by the Senior Sacred Study Class of Church Girls. They have assumed certain responsibilities for the Chapel services, and prepared a notebook about the Chapel, its history, symbolism and services, which they read and explained to the various Sacred Studies classes. i 5 I ��' . . ■ ;-4- - ■ V. ; . ■ : i ■ ■ . !; -- • srsss: Ip If it - i . ” -- - ; 1 -v._: . ........ •.................................................... .

CDeLpktc 41 21 HIGH SCHOOL HONORS—1940 The Alumnae pin is awarded to the senior of good scholarship who has most actively contributed to the school life. This honor went to Peggy Magill, and honorable mention to Anne Alton. The award for the greatest improvement in citizenship in the boarding department went to Betty Jo Coleman, and honorable mention to Marilynn Adair. For the third successive year, the Columbia Scholastic Press Association selected St. Helen’s Hall Delphic in a nation-wide contest of school annuals, to receive a medal for excellence. This meant that our 1939 Delphic placed in the second class among all the annuals published in the country by girls’ schools of our size. The medal for the best essay on a patriotic subject awarded by the National Society of Colonial Daughters was won this year by Nada Skidmore of the Freshman Class for her essay on the Red Cross. Certificates of Merit in this same contest were won by: Nancy Ann Hcnton, freshman Annabelle Dodson, eighth grade. Marian Pierce, eighth grade. Beatrice King, freshman. Emily Joynt, eighth grade. Patricia Waters, freshman. For loyal support and cooperation in upholding the ideals of the school, the school picture was awarded to Peggy Magill. The Bishop’s prize for the highest average in Sacred Studies during the year went to Patricia Waters, whose name was also to be engraved on the Holford Cup. The American Legion gave a certificate of merit to a student in the eighth grade who was outstanding in honor, courage, scholarship, leadership, and service. In our school this certifi­ cate went to Virginia Lee Fenton. For outstanding work in Thespians this year, a book on Acting was awarded to Georgialee Housman. In an essay contest conducted by the Ladies’ Auxiliary of Veterans of Foreign Wars, on the subject of "The Benefits of Democracy,” second place in the state was won by Dorothea Harris of the Junior Class. In the "Noted Picture” contest, first prizes went this year to Virginia Burdick and Eileen MacDonald; second prizes went to Louise Smith, Patricia Waters, and Sylvia Thomas; third prizes went to Marybelle Reed and Cozette Scott. Two alumnae of the Hall at Oregon State College were elected to positions of honor— Ruth Hopper to the Etiquette Committee for Women Associated Students, and Frankie Gribbin to Rookess counselor board in charge of freshman hospitality. The annual gift given by Mrs. John S. Parke to the girl in the boarding department who on all occasions is the most courteous and helpful went to Jane Klahre and honorable mention to Renee Caplan. I �i !1 : ■ ‘I 22 ig ^ke Q)etpkic In the interests of goodwill between France and America, the French government awarded a beautiful medal to students in American schools doing excellent work in French.

This award was a book, The Wbiteheaded Eagle, autographed by the author, Mr. Richard Montgomery of Portland. This first honor went to Charmian Kolar. Honors were also awarded nine other students for excellent work in all departments. These honors in order of achievement went to: Margaret Renton. Anne Alton. Connie Maguire. Jenelyn Gaston.

Mr Hod Mecklem, their coach, awarded the prizes—a cup for first place to Betty Bussey, second to Marjorie Englehart, and third to Connie Maguire. �;9 (T*0 CDelpkic ~ 23 First Prize, Delphic Contest YELLOW ELEPHANT War, War That’s all he had heard about—once, twenty years ago and now again for perhaps more years than he could exist. The yellow elephant in a musty old toy shop on one of London’s forgotten streets was musing to himself. For years he had lived on that dust covered shelf, far in the corner, where no one had even bothered to notice him. After the first year of waiting he had made up his mind to love his owner, but his emotion changed slightly after the fifth year. He really would make his purchaser unhappy for even thinking of buying him. While he was mourning over his misfortune he noticed a freckled snub nose pressed against the dusty window pane. Warm, sunshiny, yellow hair topped the head of a small urchin. The yellow elephant mistrusted anyone who came near the shop, for somehow no one ever quite noticed him and that hurt his pride terribly. Thinking this was just another wishful beggar, the elephant paid no attention to the nose and hair until the sun caught and held the bluest eyes he had ever seen The yellow elephant felt that, if he had ever wanted to see and not hear truth, he had only to look into this child’s eyes. The elephant watched those eyes as they searched the dark room and stopped on him. A gleam of happiness came into them that held all the longing of love. A man in a blue uniform hurried by and the nose and eyes disappeared. The yellow elephant felt a new interest in life since he had seen those eyes. Day by day he found himself watching for them and each day he was rewarded, for at exactly the same time the nose and eyes would appear, unknowingly bringing the only sunshine into the barren shop. For many days this went on until the eyes and the elephant carried on a silent conversa­ tion. Then one day the hand that belonged to the eyes held up a penny. The elephant had a feeling that he would be leaving the shop for good very soon. The same day that he had this feeling he heard talk of war planes that would come and destroy everything, perhaps this shop. This terrified the elephant, for if that happened where would the eyes go to find him? Hoping and praying that the eyes would come soon, the elephant’s heart jumped as the rusty shop bell rang, and in walked the happiest and most excited little boy the elephant had ever seen. The boy pointed to the elephant and laid down his money. The elephant nearly fell off the shelf until cold sticky hands grasped his trunk and lifted him off it. The boy hurried out of the shop and down the street, stopping only to gaze at something huge and birdlike in the distant sky. Comfortably smothered in the boy’s arms the elephant was numb with emotion. He waited for the boy to speak. ,TAt last you’re truly mine. The first thing I’ve ever wanted and worked for. You shall always stay with me wherever I go. Because I’ve loved you for a long time and because now you’re mine I’m going to call you Love.” The elephant felt a surge of happiness as he once again looked into the eyes. In his heart he made a pact never to be separated from them. The boy looked at the sky now for the huge birds were the dreaded planes the elephant had heard about. The boy stood on the curb watching them; now they were overhead. A black object whirled dizzily toward earth. The boy watched as it came closer and closer. He dared not move. Suddenly the boy screamed. The street was torn. The blast was over. Silence! Love was held fast by a reddening hand. He could see that the blue of truth was gone forever. With tears in his eyes he looked at the sky so dark with evil and remembered his heartfelt pact. Would he painfully exist longer? An answer came in the next black object. The street was deserted except for the pitiful figure of a nobody’s boy clutching frag­ ments of a yellow elephant. —PATRICIA WATF.RS. �24 19 <T'*0 CDetphic ~ 41 DELPHIC CONTEST, HONORABLE MENTION "When 1 Consider Thy Heavens . . ” —Psalm 8:3. Once in a far land I honors did glean— Laureate Poet was I to the Queen. I wrote with folly, of life with such glee; Youthfully, haughtily, naught did I see Of life at its best. Thus seemed it to me A frolicsome youth was the one thing to be. The Queen was so shallow she cared for my verse— I lived for a time with a full laden purse. Yet one night I paused at my window and gazed; The moon turned so white that my senses were dazed. Arrows of moonlight were piercing my heart— Stronger than others there struck one bright dart. I sheltered my eyes from its straight gleaming lightA voice called to me in my ebony night! O, Eyes, did you seek to bewilder me then? The beauty 1 saw there was far from my ken— The slender cool form and the changing pale hair. I christened her "Moonlight”, the one who stood there. She spoke, and I thought that her words seemed to be The whisper of winds all-asweep through a tree. "O. Poet, do tell me why write you your rhymes? They please just the Queen, and her whims of the times. O, do you not know that true poems are found In sight of the heavens, in touch of the ground, In height of a mountain, in flame of a fire. In song of a bird as it rises still higher?” How blinding the glory that shone in her face! So shuddering, fearing, I drew back a pace Her words like a prayer had reached to my mind; I heard where from thenceforth my verse 1 would find Startled. I closed then my eyes as before— Lo! She was gone when they opened once more Now dead is that soul who in past years was I; The title of Laureate with him did die. Yet in his place has grown a man Who writes of Nature all he can. Who writes of sky, and sea, and sod— The Poet Laureate of God —NADA SKIDMORE, IV. �*9 CDelphic ™ 41 0*0 ARC 25 LIGHT The atmosphere seems damp and misty. The brilliant radiation from the arc light on top of the hill acts as the only life. Rain beats on the roof above. Peace and warmth are accented by the warm fire inside, while outside the wind makes its mournful wail. The arc light sways. All is hushed for a second; then suddenly a large gust of wind increases the tumult of the stormy night. A majestic telephone pole stands erect as a silhouetted crucifix against the small glare of the light. Gradually the fog becomes more dense, covering all that was in view. The small fir bough sways in beating rhythm with the arc light and the wind. As the bough sways. faint sparkles from the wet street show a distinct contrast to the bleak effect. Now the vision is out of sight and only the thoughts of peace are present. Blackouts are apparent only in the distance. —MARY ELIZABETH ALDRICH, VI.

AFTERNOON Always the sun was out when the turtles were out. The day was clear and bright The pond was like a pane of glass. Not a ripple broke the stillness of its surface, for the wind had duties elsewhere. The rays of sunshine penetrated deeply. A warm silence enveloped the pond and only a periodic drip from the oar established a sense of reality in us. Each drop drew a circle on the water that widened slowly and floated off behind the boat Actually it was not the circles that moved, but the boat drifting quietly forward. The movement of the circles and the enlargement of the approaching log brought us nearer our destination. We had a definite business. Downtown turtles sold for a quarter apiece. If we caught two a day we would soon have enough money. The boat glided forward from the momentum of David’s occasional, effortless strokes. We scarcely spoke a word. The nods of my head indicated to him the direction to be taken A pair of sapphire-blue dragon-flies jerked zigzaggedly through the air. They lit on an oar, resting their long, slender bodies. Their gauzy, outspread wings fluttered occasionally. 1 studied them carefully, wondering how they maintained their balance. As we approached the log a brown bump took the shape of a turtle. He was basking drowsily in the sunshine. We maneuvered silently to the rear of him. David stretched out his hand, but the turtle slid with a little splash into the water. It really made no difference. There were other logs and other turtles. It was the enchantment of this pastime that we enjoyed. —CONNIE MAGUIRE, VI. �P ;J :v hi 26 ig ^Jze CDelpkic SEA AND 41 SAND Golden child, playing by the shore, Electric sunlight washing all the world. Your tiny hands are busy Building castles in the sands, The brittle sands, The faded sands. A hopeful laughter dances in your eyes, The fresh and tingling winds are soothing to your cheek; They lift your curls in gentle fingers, And press them close Around your bobbing head. The shining palace stands complete. And all your youthful reveries are caught Within its walls, Its flimsy walls, While you softly sigh and dare not speak. But coaxing sea calls fill your ears. And gaily, to its feathery hem You rush in joyful rapture, stumbling now In careless freedom; The jealous, harrassed sea Pounds its shore gates, Covets your liberty. i The tiring god of day takes all too soon his leave, And tosses his crimson cloak Upon the sands, And slips into the cool waters Of the night. The vengeful ocean’s lashing fury beats Upon the bleeding shore, And one dark wave your helpless castle rocks— It falls, and all your dreams are carried swift away Upon the heaving breast Of the sea— The timeless sea. ! !

A dusty road, But its dust lies undisturbed Save by the wheels Of a passing cart, And the shuffling shoes of children Homeward bound from school. Cool, green meadows Stretch away on either side To the dim blue hills. Cows grazing in a sea of buttercups Beneath an azure dome of sky. An apple tree, Bending with its weight Of flowery snow, over a tumbledown fence; Its branches arch the road, And petals fall and cover the still dust With a perfumed garment pure and fair. A steel gray sky, Hard and forbidding, an unyielding barrier Forever separating Earth from Heaven. The lane’s still dust has turned to muddy slush, Tranquil no more, but torn By moving wheels and marching feet. The buttercups Have long vanished, and the fields Lie deep in snow, its virginity Spoiled only by the tracks Of wolves and coyotes, prowling Where once had been farms And civilization. All that is gone. The dreadful were-wolf of War Stole down from the hills in the night, Leaving nothing but desolation And carrion for the jackals, Where once had been peace and happiness and liberty. —NANCY MEYER, V. 27 �!i i' i< i \ 2S CDelpkic ;9 C^-3 41 WHAT HAVE I TO REMEMBER OF 1940? Nations crumble, and all around there is death. Many philosophic sayings are written concerning this monstrous religion, war, which demands mass human sacrifice to its brutal diety. New nations are moulded out of the crushed humanity of the old order. New rulers are hailed or cursed. New songs are sung, and people smile, amid terror and destruction. The world still fights with wavering hope that peace will come—soon. Now we have entered upon a new year. Through fear, and blood, and desolation, few will remember the crimson of a gum tree against October blue, the sound of laughing water racing over a mountain meadow, the mighty song of the ocean as it caresses the smooth beach, the smell of the salt spray, and the gull’s piercing cry. These are things I shall remember of 1940. If only the world could remember these, could it remember war? —DOROTHEA HARRIS, VI. CONTRADICTION I I LITTLE Here we are in class rooms, yearning To be out, away from this. To be free from halls of learning Ah, it would be more than bliss. Little birdies sing to me. Sing about the flower and tree; Sing about the sky so blue. Looking down on me and you. What we want is relaxation; Yet, when you ask us to confess, Do we want an education? You’ll find we almost all say, "Yes”. And way up in the sky so high I see the clouds go gliding by. I wonder if I ever can Go clear up there in sandman land. —SALLY COLWELL, Sixth Grade. —ELEANOR F. COLES, 111 * BIRDIES LOVELY EARTH I love to see the leaves That fall from lovely trees; The brooks that ripple Through the hills To fall into the seas; And little lambs That play among the hills Till mothers say, "It’s time To say, 'To bed, to bed’ My tired little ones.” Then all around The darkness falls, And stars come out to play. Then fairies dance their lovely dance. And I must run away. —QUINLAND DANIELS, Third Grade. ���i 1 ■ CDetpkic •+* 41 29 I cO^N/£ ,eaNne STUDENT Maguire BODY As we look back on this year we find it has been a very active and successful one.

The cabinet consisted for the year of the student body officers and during the first term, Jenelyn Gaston, editor of the Halltonian, Mary Sumner, Margaret Saari, Gretchen Nicolai, Marybell Reed, and Phyllis Stewart. For the second term they were Charmian Kolar, editor of the Halltonian, Lillian Johnson, Lillian Robertson, Jean Maris, Marybelle Reed, and Phyllis Stewart. Among our many activities, some in a serious and others in a lighter vein, we have had a talk by Mrs. Ivison Macadam on ''England Today”; also a talk was given for the purpose of Chinese relief by Mr. Paul Mauritz. Several educational films have been shown stressing driving safety and the knowledge of money. Representatives from Scripps and Mills have offered information to the upperclassmen. One of the most enjoyable assemblies was spent listening to the Reverend Edward H. (Bonny) Bonsall speak on modern day problems con­ fronting young people Alice Duer Miller’s "White Cliffs” was excellently read by Mrs. Linthicum. Dances and a student body picnic have been among the social activities. The Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter seasons were taken care of generously by the girls for the benefit of the less fortunate. This has been a happy year for everyone because of careful guidance and excellent leader­ ship on the part of the student body officers. We can leave for the summer with the feeling that a great deal of good has been accomplished, and with the hope that next year will be just as happy and successful as this one has been. \ �30 *9 CCLhe CDetphlc ™ 41 HALLTONIAN The school’s bi-weekly paper means much to the girls. In this mimeographed news sheet, which is put out entirely by the girls themselves, appears a resume of the week’s activities, and an outline of the future program. All members of the staff are members of the Journalism Club under the supervision of Mrs. Swanson. The Editor for the fall term was Jenelyn Gaston, a senior. She was followed in the spring by Charmian Kolar, a junior. Under these two girls the staff has worked hard with splendid results. Even though die most of the work falls upon the shoulders of the editor, the staff has always been generous in giving their time to working outside of school on the edition. The art work which means much to the paper is handled by the art editor who mimeoscopes her pictures on the stencils. This is a tricky job, but different effects can be produced by a skillful hand. Each year the Halltonian makes progress. We have left the essay type one-column master­ pieces far behind in favor of broken columns of newsy articles with catchy headlines. Pictures now adorn the front page, and interesting features fill the inside sections. Our new policy is to shy from gossip, and in its place to use original feature articles, some running in serial form or in sequences. Constant improvement and change of style has made the Halltonian a necessary part of our school life. OLD-GIRL NEW-GIRL PARTY Everyone enjoys the annual party given for the new girls. Of course the new girls have to endure an initiation which is a source of amusement to all who look on. Everyone attends the party in original costumes, and prizes are given for the best efforts. Betty Bevil and Arline Wollin tied for first prize. Afterwards welcome refreshments are served by Sister Superior in the truest Hall manner. THE RED CROSS The Red Cross has been active this year in planning projects for the less fortunate. There are four main groups which work on knitting, sewing and toys, projects for the blind, and attractive scrap books. Also a group of girls have gone to the Tuberculosis Hospital to roll bandages. Two programs have been presented for the T. B. patients by the Tunesters, Drama Club, and the Ensemble which have been a source of enjoyment to the shut-ins. �- ig <~> ^ke Q)elph.Lc 41 31 ! SCHOOL DANCE School dances are always eagerly awaited and well attended by the Hall students. The fall informal was held November 29- The main theme depicted autumn with decorations of leaves through the room, and a jolly squirrel sat in the center of the floor. All the girls agreed that dances are a "must” in the school calendar. JUNIOR PROM Pastel colored formals contrasting with dark suits—soft lights and Wes Lang’s wonderful orchestra. Hopeful wishes were made for the future around the Wishing Well. The Seniors’ last dance at the Hall—the Junior and Senior Prom. l ■; JUNIOR CARNIVAL Crowds gathered before Ye Old Curio Shops which lined the street. Vendors wove in and out selling their wares. The town people gathered in the square where the men swung their partners, first to the right and then to the left. It was the night of the Junior Carnival. The gay Old English Village was in reality the school auditorium. RECEPTION In the evening of October 23, the annual faculty reception was held in the school audi­ torium. The Seniors in pastel formals met the guests and introduced them to the faculty. This annual affair was planned in order that the parents and friends of the school might become better acquainted with the faculty. �EVERGLADES Everglades at Lake Oswego is one of the Hall’s most important features. It provides a great many pleasant activities and outings for the girls. Among these are week-ends for the boarders, class parties, student body picnics, and ceremonies. The house stands facing the lake surrounded by level green lawns and cool shade trees. It is also equipped with diving facilities, tennis courts, and a lawn swing for leisure hours. Inside there is a small chapel which is used on Sundays for simple services. There is a spacious dormitory which is often used by boarders on week-end outings. The dining room and kitchen are very popular with a ravenous brood, and the hospitable living room and game room with the comfort of a fireplace provide many an afternoon or evening of pleasure. Everglades is truly an enjoyable spot, and it is no wonder that it is loved by the girls. �I ! ^■he CDelphic 33 t i ■ i ; 1 ; ■. : ’ ; i 1 JEANNE D’ARC Directed by Mary Hobson Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French THE CAST Jeanne D’Arc Louis le Conte...........................

MAY FETE ?V. "■■■.? The climax of the spring term ended May 22 at St. Helen’s Hall with the annual May V : %,-A U. ;L Fete. The fete is a tradition at the Hall and is ruled over by the May Queen nnd her royal court, which is selected from the members of senior class by the Associated Student Body. The queen who ruled over the festivities for this year and who bestowed awards was June Fowler. The court was completed by the princesses, Connie Maguire, Lillian Robertson, Audra Blanken­ ship, Mary Sumner, Katherine Jane Robinson, and Jenelyn Gaston. The Junior Class chose Charmian Kolar to assist Queen June as Mistress of Ceremonies. After the bestowing of awards the day came to a close with the new girls entertaining the old girls with a supper and various skits. The Queen abdicated and the court dispersed at the end of the festivities. Thus another event was brought to a close. ��'i [v-‘ 0^5 (Delphic 0*^9 ■ .5 ! r l I ’ CLUB PRESIDENTS FIRST ROW—Jane Klahre, Lillian Robertson, Shirley Gray, Phylhs Stewart, Geneva Summerset.

AH memberships in the school clubs are by personal choice These clubs were organized in an effort to stimulate interest in various hobbies. V;. THE NATURAL DANCING CLUb was organized to help the girls improve their car­ ■ 5 . : ? riage, to be more graceful, and to bring out their individual talents, as well as to make their ■ minds more creative, since dancing is one art that has to have motivation from within. This club has grown as the girls have begun to appreciate the work being done here. .

This year under the leadership of Connie Maguire the club has made much progress. The club’s financial problem was partially solved by a set monthly membership fee. The club went up to Timberline regularly every other week-end all season. The big ]■ ■ yellow bus which was chartered was large enough for all the members to go every trip. We left from school about eight o’clock each Saturday morning with fifteen or more excited girls, and returned that night around seven with them equally tired. is . Mrs. Swanson, Mrs. Stevens, and Miss Hobson took turns going up with them and the lessons this year were under the direction of Bob Donaldson. A great deal was accomplished, and most of the girls were in the advanced class by the season’s end. . I i* Y u £• ': i • !* ■ r :• ��! i ig 40 ^ke CDetpliLC ATHLETICS Basketball is the Hall girls’ favorite game. Our team captain this year was Alice Kimball. Although the season proved unsuccessful, the girls played hard fast ball, and lost their games by small margins. No outside games were played in volley ball this year because of a late start, although an intramural tournament was held. With spring comes baseball. The girls play on the grass diamond in the center of the campus. The annual tennis tournament was held in early April. Jeanne Morrison captured the singles crown, and Connie Maguire and Jeanne Morrison shared honors for the doubles crown. Archery and fencing classes are held after school for those interested in these sports. The fencing team held their own in the tournaments in which they entered. 1939-1940 Athletic Awards MEDALS FOR BASKETBALL Maradick Word. Lillian Johnson. Jean Lewis. Connie Maguire.

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.
