As we graduate from St. Helen’s Hall this year, we are slightly bewildered by the world we
are going into. It is a world of war and struggle, of hate and fury. It is not a reassuring world
to be graduating into. As products of a world like that, we do not have the old idea that
the world is ours to do with as we please. We still believe in our own power, but it is a col­
lective power, not an individual power. The world is ours, but only if we make it so.

!•!

T

s

We still can carve our kind of a world out of the chaos and confusion of war, but this is
not going to be a pleasure. It is going to be a duty, and a severe taskmaster. Our incentive
must be a Christian ideal. We must truly follow the commandment "love thy neighbor as
thyself.”

■i'j

If we realize that sacrifices will not stop with the armistice, the battle of a just and true
peace is half won. Surely a just peace is more worth our sacrifices than a bloody war.
At the Hall, we have received a Christian background for our lives.

EDITORIAL
"In today already walks tomorrow.”
Today was built by many yesterdays;
Inside the heart there grows the endless maze,
The pulse of hope, aching mists of sorrow.
Other’s memories we cannot borrow
But in our own there lies the future’s haze . . .
Beloved faces, varied scenes’ arrays.
In today already walks tomorrow.”
There is a beauty in that this can be,
A justice, and a helping hand to hold.
It gives to us a choice in life, to see
In present hours the future still untold.
May each of us from some old memory
Receive deep grace, and pleasant dreams unfold.

THE

CHAPEL

The symbolic heart of St. Helen’s Hall is its Chapel.

This place of quiet and worship

stands for all Christian ideals of reverence and beauty.
Every morning Matins is held, which is attended by all of the girls and the faculty.

This

simple sendee is made beautiful by the presence of generous memorial gifts such as the
mother-of-pearl cross, the sanctuary lamps, the altar, and the pulpit

Our longed-for pipe

organ was given to us by Mrs. Walter B. Beebe in memory of her husband. Its inspiring tones
serve as a fitting remembrance of Sister Katherine Angela who revealed to us the spirit and
meaning of music.
The few moments that we have in Chapel before commencing the day of studies are most
helpful and are appreciated by all.

CLASS

HISTORY

The class of 1943 began back in 1931, when Sally Jeffcott, who was joined later in the year
by Nada Skidmore, entered the lower school.

The boarding department got -its first member

of the Class of ’43 in 1936, when Sylvia Thomas enrolled at the Hall.

From then on, the class

grew rapidly and steadily until, in 1942, our list was completed by the entrance of Charlotte
Fehly, Elaine Taylor, and Laura Zimmerman.
We are just an ordinary group of girls, but we have been blessed beyond measure in
receiving an education which will prepare us to meet the world, and make it ours.

DESPAIR
Poor little boy ....
You stubbed your toe,
And the tears that filled your eyes
Spilled over
As your steps led painfully to this hill.
Then you found that your knife was broken.
And your new jacket was torn.
And your heart was torn as well.
You thought of your dog
Waiting for you in heaven,
And you wished with all your might
That you could follow him.

Back in the valley
You can see your mates
Playing . . . unmindful of the woes
That are just as overwhelming to you
As a man’s are to a man.
You fling yourself face downward,
And clutch the mossy sod
In protest
Against the cruel life
That besieges you, and crushes you.
PATRICIA MANN, VI.

Delphic Contest—Honorable Mention
MY AUTUMN
Autumn is colorful, flying, maple leaves;
It is a fire-moon rising serenely above a misty swamp;
It is a dog frisking wildly in crisp, crackling, fallen pine needles;
It is a warm remembrance of summer;
A lazy river turning brown and red beside the leaves;
A golden, giant oak curling its leaves against a hazy blue sky;
Autumn is a memory;
It is a melancholy faith in dreaming hopes;
It is a fulfillment of a life nearing its end;
It is the burning of wood-smoke curling slow, blue ribbons;
It is the heap of leaves and the rustle of the wind, with
Yet but a touch of winter;
Still, late Summer makes her last bid, before the on-coming Blue Cold.
Deep purple, golden haze—soon will it turn to an ice-blue.
Deep autumn, a warm star, a violet haze against warm mist.
I shall remember Autumn; it will always come back, secure.

JACK

A few hours ago he laughed and talked and was alive
split in two by life and death....... and he is dead.

... now he is dead. One minuce
: , | O'*

A once warm and active body now stilled by the cold hand of death as it clutches to its
breast one more who died for a cause so worth fitghting for.

P

Yes, he is dead, but he did not die in vain.
Who he was is not important, but what he stood for is. He will long live in our mem­
ories and what he fought for will be eternal in our hearts. No, we shall not forget you, Jack.
May God give your courage to the many others who must die before we can again sit down
to peace.

REGULATION DRESS
I smile and sigh while thinking of my schooldays at the Hall,
(They were days both sad and happy, I confess.)
But oh, the thing that bothered me the very most of all
Was the worrisome, the troublesome, the Regulation Dress!

. v

:

I oft forgot to keep the pretty blues away from brown.
My stockings were of many different hues.
My blouses ranged from old pique to those I wore to town,
And I owned the very oddest kinds of shoes.
My sweaters were of woven stuffs that broke at simple touch,
(They would catch on every splinter in the place.)
And my skirts were soiled and wrinkled for I did not press them much
Because I spent my time uppn my face.

ta

Now I have finished singing of my sorrow at that school,
(And to you who read it now I’d like to stress)
Though you may find it very hard to keep within a rule
It will pay you well to keep the one for Regulation Dress.

FAIRIES

As I lay asleep in my little bed,
I dreamt fairies were folding back my spread.
The bells attached to their tiny collars
Sparkled like gold and silver dollars.
Their dresses were made of lovely lace;
One had the most lovely and precious face.
Their shoes shone like glittering sparks.
Although they danced they made no marks.
Their hair was shiny burnished gold.
Mere beautiful than can ever be told.
They make magic with their little wands.
I think they live in the flowers in nearby ponds.
SUSAN DICK, Grade VI.

MY HOME IN THE MOUNTAINS

l

Where the call pines and the sweet smelling firs
Make wonderful homes for the squirrels and birds.

i

Where the happy brook runs along with a song.
And the fish splash merrily all day long.
Where my big dogs "Captain” and "Buck”
Rush out to wish me very good luck

*

Where drowsily on the moss I lay.
There I happily spend the day.
This is my home in the Hills.

RAIN, THUNDER, AND LIGHTNING

1.. •
&gt;
.

Lightning flashed and it rained today,
And all the children came in from play.
The thunder roared—bang it did,
All the blue in the sky was hid.
And then came morning bright and gay;
The grass was green, ’twas the first of May,
The children again go out and play.
For now we start a brand new day.
ANNE FERRIS, Grade IV.

Nada Skidmore

STUDENT BODY

,

The past year may truly be considered a successful one in the terms of our Student Body
government The efficient management of leaders with initiative and the cooperation of their
followers could only bring this about. Nada Skidmore was elected our President for the fall
term, while the following students were elected to the other offices: Joan Lucas, Vice-Presi­
dent; Molly Clair, Secretary; Beatrice King, Treasurer; Sally Jeffcott, Senior Proctor; Susan
Garrigus, Sophomore Proctor. Those elected for the spring term’s activities were: Beatrice
King, President; Donna Jo Short, Vice-President; Yolanda Schultz, Secretary; Sylvia Thomas,
Treasurer; Pat Mann, Senior Proctor; Barbara Magnuson, Sophomore Proctor. For the fall
term the Cabinet consisted of the Student Body officers, Sylvia Thomas, Vice-President of the
Senior class; Jane Byerly, Vice President of the Junior class; Class Representatives: Alta June
Myles, Donna Jo Short, Barbara Magnuson, Carla Rebagliati, Carter Dorwart, and the Editor
of the Halltonian, Jane Norwood.
This year the Student Body energy was inevitably channeled into the defense effort.
A raffle was held with enthusiasm for the purpose of donating the proceeds to the United
War Chest. The Red Cross drive in March was met with the support of all the Hall students
as a result of an impressive talk by Miss Louise Linthicum. Earlier in the year we were privi­
leged to hear her speak of the vital work represented by the United War Chest. Mr. Peterson
faced an attentive and receptive group when he addressed the High School and Junior College
on the subject of the war’s effect upon our lives as individuals. The upper classmen’s knowl­
edge of two colleges was broadened when representatives of Scripps and of Smith talked to
the girls about the part college would play in the future.
In keeping with the Hall’s tradition, donations were made at Thanksgiving, Christmas,
and the Lenten season for the poor, perhaps less cared for than ever in their obscurity in the
dark shadow of war.
Not all has been serious and strenuous, for picnics at Everglade and dances have furnished
that refreshing variety so necessary for an alert, intelligent group of young people.
The school year with all its work and serious effort, its hours of pleasure, companionship,
and carefree joys has come to a close. Uppermost in our minds is the thought of humble
indebtedness toward those who have sacrificed their lives for the world’s freedom—the freedom
which has given to us our opportunity for spiritual, intellectual and social development.

WORK

In these times of war and trial by fire, the civilian population finds its attention gov­
erned by the mounting tragedy of the war. Instead of watching inertly, it is the American
way to do something constructive for those in want, and our school has gone all out for civilian
and foreign aid.
The Hall’s official war effort this year began with the opening of the war stamp booth.
This stand in the main hall has become ever popular with the girls who forego "cokes” and
after-school snacks, in order to buy more stamps.

.

Soon after the beginning of school we had a United War Chest drive Since this included
several welfare and relief organizations there was a great response from the student body.
The proceeds totaled almost one hundred dollars which was donated to the War Chest. The
Red Cross War drive in March was met by individual donations from all the students.
I

These gifts of monetary value are indispensable, but war requires sacrifices both of time
and love. Here again we of the Hall tried to do our bit.
The Art Club created dozens of Christmas cards for wounded soldiers to send to their
families and friends. After the holidays the club undertook making handy writing portfolios
for the use of soldiers in hospitals. The Drama Club and the Tunesters have also played their
part in the war effort by contributing time and effort to prepare a program for the Tuber­
culosis Hospital and George White Service Center.

{

Several girls have completed the Staff Assistants’ course given by the Red Cross.
enthusiasm and success heartened others planning to take the course.

Many of the boarders have joined Civilian Defense organizations. Some are FireWatchers whose duties include extinguishing any incendiary bombs or fires in their district
during an air raid. Other boarders are official messengers who deliver emergency messages
that come to their districts during a blackout or any other crisis.
Our school provides special courses that help prepare students for their part in a wartorn
world: First Aid, Nutrition, and Child Care. The Child Care course is far from being a
theoretical science for the students gain practical experience by caring for children in the
Hall’s nursery school. We make it possible for mothers employed in defense industries to
work by offering a home during the day for their children.
In the spring a book drive was carried through when two hundred attractive books were
contributed by the student body.

January brought programs of military drill for the high school and junior college. Under
the instruction of Miss Giddings, gymnasium teacher, the Junior and Senior classes were able
to present a trim drill appearance during the spring months. Shirley Gray was elected Cadet
Major, and four captains, Sylvia Thomas, Beatrice King, Alice Ashton, and Jane Byerly, were
chosen to lead the squads.
We are all working harder and doing more work than we have previously. We are taking
our work more seriously and playing less. It is just that this should be so, and we pray that
any small sacrifice that we can make will hasten the end of this war of suffering and infamy.

BOARDERS’ MYSTERY PLAY
The Boarders’ Mystery play, a vivid portrayal of the Nativity of Christ, was presented
this year in Scadding Auditorium at an afternoon performance for the Junior College, High
School, and the lower grades.
Instilled in colorful tableaux was the age-old story of the Annunciation, the awe-struck
shepherds, the Wise Men "aided” by Herod, and finally the full cast finale around the Bethle­
hem manger climaxed the cantata.

In the starring role of the Angel Gabriel was Sylvia Thomas aided by the Angel Choir.
Appropriate costumes and color added the necessary atmosphere to the production.
Besides the thrill of production and learning Christmas music, the Mystery Play affords
the spiritual touch without which no Christmas is complete.

clad in gay shades of aqua, pink, and yellow, contrasted effectively with green foliage in the
garden where the ceremony was held.
The mistress of ceremonies, Jane Byerly, crowned Her Majesty with a wreath of blossoms.
Following this, the Royal Court, the student body, and guests enjoyed original entertainment
provided by the new girls. The serving of light refreshments marked the conclusion of a
memorable day.

The opening address by Father McDonald in chapel that first day, September 7, im­

On the night of September 25, the boarders were primping for Hill Cadets, who were
their guests at the first boarders’ dance of the year.
The so-called "timid and shy” freshmen were far ahead of the rest of the classes as far
as sociability went. They were the first to give a party, which was held on September 30.
Although many original costumes were seen at the traditional Old-Girl, New-Girl Party,
few could compare to those in which the new girls made an appearance showing the effects
of a initiation.
An assembly on October 8 introduced the United War Chest campaign. Miss Linthicum
urged our support, and we responded by going "over the top”.
October 15 is an extremely important date in this history, for on that day the young
ladies of St. Helen’s Hall threw hammers, hearts, and heads into the task of destroying two
hundred desks. The national Scrap Metal Drive profited a tidy five tons from the "all-out”
effort.

Mr. Peterson gave an effective speech to a joint assembly with the Junior College about
our duty in the war effort on December 15. The Boarders gave their annual Mystery play in

A new school year began on January 4, when we all returned full of recollections and
resolutions. Our joy was tempered, however, when we learned that Mrs. Anderson, our pop­
ular gym teacher, had left to join the Army Medical Corps.
On January 21, a pleasant surprise which lasted until January 27 released us from our
studies. You guessed it, the snow that isolated all but provided plenty of merrirpent as com­

February 25 marked the Red Cross Victory Book Campaign party. Admission was
"a book for a boy in the service”. Refreshments were given by the Boarders, while the "Day
Dodgers” provided us with some clever, extemporaneous entertainment.
By February 27 everyone was in a state of excitement at the big Student Body Dance.
It was a riotous success.
According to a new plan, our spring vacation was divided into two long week-ends, the
first of which was March 3-7.
On March 15 the Red Cross War Fund Drive started.

EVERGLADE
Due to the war, trips to Everglade were necessarily few and far between this year, but
the fun the girls always have there was undiminished.
The big rambling house on the edge of the lake serenely bears the gaiety of the Hall par­
ties. There are facilities for every sport; tennis, boating, swimming, ping-pong, dancing, or,
if you prefer, just laziness. Never to be forgotten is the pleasure of a plunge into the clear,
cool water after a vigorous game of tennis, or the ravenous consuming of hot dogs and potato
salad at the outdoor fireplace.

              <text>This is an OES yearbook from 1943. 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>
