Our beloved Sisters of the Order of St. John Baptist, who have so ably directed the school for forty years, have found it necessary to retire from the school's activities. Although they are leaving, the school will continue to uphold and maintain the principles that they have placed before it. Those who are to be in charge will ever keep in mind the training that students have received in the past, and they will help the Hall to keep its high standards. Under the direction of the Sisters it has been the aim of St. Helen's Hall to offer a broad liberal education in its deepest sense. Our practical education has been correlated with a purposeful religious life teaching every girl to believe and think wisely. In the past the Hall has always had high standards influenced by Christian ideals. As it assumes a new leadership these standards will not be changed. Through all the degrading darkness of the world about us, the Hall will remain a guiding beacon in our hearts leading us to a peace within. THE EDITOR. EDITORIAL Spring with all its sweetest of young growing things came early this year, symbolic somehow In mid-December the leafless sprigs of climbing jasmine arrayed themselves in blossoms like tiny golden trumpets. Only a few weeks later, while autumn roses and chrysan­ themums stood bedraggled and frost-bitten, pussywillow buds grew silvery-gray and fat and smooth; sweet smelling pink bells brightened the drab-looking, bushy heather; flat, white blossoms shone among the dark-green, pointed leaves of the laurastinus shrubs. Rainy Febru­ ary came, and with it, fragrant wild violets. The first ones were short-stemmed, I remember, and hardly more than fragments of purple. Often half-hidden by a few old brown leaves, they grew by mossy tree-trunks and under bushes whose new yellow-green leaves stood upright like tiny candles on a Christmas tree. Beside a pond reflecting moving clouds and sky, a weeping willow turned a soft green and moved like a gauzy veil in the March wind. In April the dogwood burst forth in glistening white flowers and stood tall and radiant among the dark woods of somber firs. Let us do our utmost to hasten the peace which will come to the ravaged, suffering world, like the ever-returning miracle of spring over the forlorn earth. THE LITERARY EDITOR.

As our days and months at the Hall pass, we appreciate more and more the quiet beauty and simple dignity of the Morning Service. In perfect harmony are all the memorial gifts: the altar, sanctuary lamps, pulpit, and the mother of pearl processional cross. The long-desired pipe organ was given to us by Mrs. Walter B. Beebe in memory of her husband. Its strains will ever be a remembrance of Sister Katherine Angela, who taught the girls at the Hall to love music as she did. 3 W �: i: t-!.v:l ■ ' t ' i; S' V Mi "i 5 i: I; ii ; : ; : : : • •4 : U IV. > i : '1 - lit : m 11 l IHUsi 1: * ;v S ■v^JllpTK.ul 3 p.j£*l *SS Ibw 'i o w. ivff N ft’ % & I/- £3? s tv* :.||! :8 iM i v* t* 2^ -.'i yM •. ii < '■ ' ; ! / "'a i II I m r\ > m Mi \f Vi !! ■:;. ?; •>-’ ■:•■■ �:• • ' :. •-1 ■: - ■ v. ■ ■ . - - W: -- -- ■■ . . - V �' ?;: = • ' • ’ . •* ig * ^ke CDelpliic * 44 \ \ r JANE BYERLY 1940-1944 "Thoughtless of beauty, she uas beauty’s self." if President of the Senior Class Vice-President of the Junior Class Advertising Staff of the Delphic May Queen . % 1 !i f: ?. 1; I' >' GLORIA JOKSTAD 1940-1944 "A merry heart makelh a cheerful coun­ tenance.” Vice-President of the Senior Class President of the Boarders Business Manager of the Halltonian May Court Hii & i. iyZfi ■ VIRGINIA VAUGHAN ri? : • 1942-1944 HI I 1!

CLASS HISTORY The class of 1944 began back in 1934 when Patty Bendshadler entered the Lower School. In 1938 she was joined by Dede Honeyman, Patty Jack, and Patty Petheram. From then on the class grew rapidly until 1943, when our membership was completed by the entrance of Anne Carter. Although we are sorry to leave the Hall, we take with us the knowledge that we have received an education which has prepared us to meet and solve the problems of today.

The social success is the one who can talk most like a hard cynical commando. The fashion-plate is apparently the one attired in quite dirty jeans, martyred sweater, socks of terrifying hue, and shoes completely covered by the humble soil. My opinion is of little value, for I am a girl and older, but I believe my ten-year-old brother must be a great success. He is certainly dressed properly, and I know has a large stock of commando tactics. The only way to distinguish him from the other men-of-the-world is by his hazel eyes, very charming nose, and hair about the color of the dirt that modestly covers his forehead. He doesn't talk much to outsiders; only to those other little boys who understand his lan­ guage. He talks very skillfully with them. Once he organized an army, made himself general, and the other boys privates. Something must have upset this Hitlerism, for he soon was one general among many. In fact, they were all generals. He has an unlimited supply of information about airplanes. Perhaps we could learn much from him, but he is frightfully longwinded. We have trained ourselves to listen with only one ear and insert "un-huh” occasionally. I suppose he will be an after-dinner speaker. At least then we won’t have to insert the "un-huh”, but only listen with one ear. JEAN EDMONDS, IV. | : : :m ■ i. ’ V I y THE GLEAMING LIGHT I see many a bright color shield That the enemy ne’er could mar As I walk across the battlefield Of years and years of war. I see brave men who would not yield To the tempests that would scar As I walk across the battlefield Of years and years of war. As I wander through the burial grounds, As I trudge through darkened vale, The mist seems to lift; the light abounds; It brightens this quiet dale, And then I know that the scars have healed; Again I see a star As I walk across the battlefield Of years and years of war.

Joan Lucas was elected President, and was assisted by Pat Walker as Vice-President, Jean Edmonds as Secretary, and Nancy Easter as Treasurer. Those who carried out their fine work in the spring were Nancy Easter, President; Ann Phetteplace, VicePresident, and Patty Bendshadler, Treasurer, Although the main theme of the year was war work, the season’s activities were dotted with brilliant speakers. Prominent among these was President Ham of Mt, Holyoke College, who gave us a view of colleges geared to a war-time tempo. The importance of the work we do at school now was emphasized by Mademoiselle A. Jeanne Saliel of Smith College, who spoke for the Free French. The life of our boys in North Africa was described to us by a young Lieutenant in the Army Medical Corps, stationed at Barnes Hospital, The British Consul, James McDonald, gave us an interesting talk at one of our assemblies on the difference war has made in the life of the English people. Another extremely instructive assembly was held when the Director of the Civic Theater, the Director of the Art Museum, and the Conductor of the Junior Symphony held an informal discussion of the war’s effect on the Arts. Mrs. Esther Daymon Strong, who is Executive Secretary of the United Nations Association, spoke to us regarding the activities of that association and the various other post-war groups in the country. All of these talks were presented to us with the idea of giving the Hall girl a broad view of the importance of current world affairs. The Seniors of this year everywhere are expected to become adult more quickly and more intelligently. We are aware that the courses and assemblies of this school year have helped us to realize the important role we will take in the post-war world.

WAR WORK It was only right and to be expected that again this year war work proved to be the main activity of St. Helen’s Hall. Most of our work was done through the American Junior Red Cross. Each week many of the girls rolled bandages at the Wilcox Memorial Hospital, while others enjoyed helping at the United Seamen's Service Center. At Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter, clever, appropriate table decora­ tions and other favors were made for the men at Barnes Hospital. Whole-heartedly and with Christmas box for service men toothbrushes, and toothpaste, cigarettes, small books, puzzles, a sense of humbleness, each Hall girl filled a gaily-papered overseas. These boxes contained such practical articles as soap, shoe strings, writing paper, pencils, and envelopes. Candy, and various kinds of games were also included. With their War Bonds and Stamps, the high school and the lower school purchased three jeeps such as the one shown above. In this work Nancy Easter, Joan Lucas, and Patty Bendshadler played a prominent part, and its success is due to their hard work. j26] I �•• . ■ ; & QUEEN—Jane Byerly. PRINCESSES—Patty Jack, Gloria Jokstad, Patty Petheram, Anne Stewart, Joan Lucas, Laurelei Saylor. MISTRESS OF CEREMONIES—Molly Clair. MAY FETE Each year the student body eagerly choses seven pretty seniors for the traditional May Court. Jane Byerly was this year’s lovely Queen of the May. Her court princesses were Patty Petheram, Ann Stewart, Joan Lucas, Gloria Jokstad, Patty Jack, and Lee Saylor. The smooth, yellow-green lawn and the dark-green shrubbery, the sunshine and the dappled shade made a pleasing setting for the royalty in their pastel-colored dresses. A tiny, excited girl from the lower school, wearing a light spring dress, carried the crown of fresh flowers to the Queen’s throne. The student body and guests watched with happy admiration as Molly Clair, Mistress of Ceremonies, placed the crown on Jane’s dark hair. Following the crowning ceremony, Bobby Wollum, as court jester, and all the new girls provided various kinds of entertainment. With the serving of a light supper, this long-antici­ pated afternoon came to a close. [27] �\ i •; ;9 * CDetpkic * 44 CALENDAR As the spring term draws to a close, every girl finds her thoughts directed toward the coming graduation and then wandering back to the many activities of the past year. The year began in the traditional way with Bishop Dagwell officiating at the opening Chapel service, September 8, 1943. On October 13 the new girls were duly initiated with a great deal of laughter and fun on part of the student body at the Old Girl-New Girl Party. The student body was officially organized shortly after with both student body and class officers being elected. The leaders of the boarding department were chosen as soon as the girls were well acquainted. October 15th saw the boarders and many of the day students at the Jeannette McDonald concert. The girls all agreed that it was one of the best concerts of the season. The first dance of the year, given by the boarding department, was held September 24. Hill cadets were invited. On October 27, the teachers held a reception for the parents and friends of the students. They were assisted by the Juniors and Seniors. This was the first formal affair of the year and the teachers announced that the attendance was the largest in years. Hill Military Academy gave its first dance of the year on October 29. Pumpkins, fortune­ tellers, and eerie decorations provided the Halloween atmosphere. On the same night members of the Junior class spent an enjoyable evening at a dinner dance given by Joanna Millet. On November 23rd the long-anticipated Thanksgiving vacation began. The girls returned full of vitality and began plans for the Christmas vacation December 10th was the date of the big student body dance of the year. A huge tree deco­ rated with blue lights and silver rain carried out the Christmas theme. Many members of the armed forces were present at the dance. The day Christmas vacation started the College Drama Club presented a beautiful Mystery Play, which was attended by the whole school. On February 3rd the spring term student body elections were held. February and March will be remembered for the wonderful speakers they brought. These speakers gave the girls a view of the international world situation. On March 1st the Alumnae Association sponsored an excellent reading by Mrs. Mortimer Hartwell. The spring season was officially ushered in by a dance sponsored by the Junior class on April 22, the Saturday after spring vacation ended Skip day was spent by the Seniors doing exactly what they wanted, and the school was a dank and musty tomb without them. Royalty took over the school on May Fete day. Queen Jane IV presided over her court, who were dressed in charming pastel formals. The last week of school was so full of last-minute activities and parties that the Seniors had no time to be sad. They will always remember the Prom and the impressive Baccalaureate service at Trinity Church. The crowning event of the whole year was graduation on May 26th. This exquisite and beautiful ceremony is especially planned to be an unforgetable experience. [28J �1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11, 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. Birds of a feather.

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.
