DECEMBER, 1924 t i �7 & £ i t t> liili* Success Success! How much is embodied in that one small word! Success— the attainment of one’s goal, for which everyone aims. That goal, the fulfillment of one's dearest wish and life-long ambition. To many, success is the mere acquisition of great wealth. To others, who are broader-minded, it represents the accomplishment of some work or deed, temporal or immortal, the mile-stone of the doer’s life, in which his soul lives, to inspire his and perhaps future generations, and to spur them on to success. Success is not the accomplishment of one day, month or year. We sometimes hear of someone who has achieved success “over night”. But is this true, is not success won after battles fought against poverty and failure, battles that never reach the public? And so success is no more than the application of the old saying, “A good archer is not known by his arrow, but by his aim”. For do we not all strive to be good archers, to be known by our aim,—success? —E. M. '25 School Spirit ? f Every student entering high school hears much of that age-old phrase “school spirit”, but some never stop to think how that term affects them personally. School spirit is not anything you can buy, beg or steal. You have to acquire it. Some students go through a four year high school course without knowing really what it means. Those students miss half the joys of high school life. School spirit is acquired by service, interest in all school activities, by active particpation, and by self responsibility. A good example of real school spirit was exhibited by those who attended the first basketball game of the year. Greeted by the crowd as they came onto the court �8 D e I p t) i c our girls knew the school and the students were behind them and the return they made gladdened the hearts of all real St. Helen’s daughters. What is school spirit? It is that spirit of fight, the win-just-one-victory-for-the-red-and-blue that always prevails around our campus and helps us to win in both school work and athletics. It is the thing which makes us win in everything we undertake. What is school spirit? Why, school spirit is that thing that makes us say Our! Our School, Our Class, Our Colors, Our Team, Our Studies, Our St. Helen’s Hall! You students who shun the games and other activities, and grumble when tickets have to be sold, think! Are not those tickets for the better­ ment of the school? Of course they are. Then show your school spirit by selling them. Have we school spirit? Have we supported our school? Will we M. L. ’25. continue to do so? Yes, St. Helen’s Hall! Student Government With the opening of the fall term, Student Government was introduced in the school, for two reasons: because of the growth of the school, and for the purpose of cooperation. Up to this time a Senior Council had been the system of government. The Seniors felt it a rather heavy responsibility, and, although they still preside at the Student Council, nevertheless they feel the cooperation of the other classs and welcome it. The Student Council is made up of five representatives from each class, including the President, and all the Seniors. The officers consist of a President and Vice-President. In addition there is an executive body including the President, Vice-President and a representative from each class. The members of the Student Council are changed fre­ quently, and therefore every girl has to be prepared to represent her class. She cannot do this well, unless she has the interest of the school at heart. Student Government absolutely requires cooperation. Its aim is to fill every girl with a sense of honor, justice and responsibility, The honor system must uphold it, and if every girl accepts it in the right spirit, Student Government is bound to be successful. —B. S. ’25. Adopting a School Uniform For years the Sister Superior had told the girls to dress sensibly for ^ ’ and for years she had warned them that the penalty for disobeytfha^,resupect WOuld be a school uniform. Not that the girls really ferpd cn° 1Su e^’ only.their ideas about suitable clothes for school difthev shnni^ r°m ^,sters ideas. Some of the girls always wore what * u , on the other hand, some of them did not. Bright, fancy 1 �D e l p f) i c 9 sweaters, silk or plaid stockings, afternoon dresses, not quite good enough for a tea or a luncheon, loud plaid or striped skirts, are not the kind of apparel that school girls should wear. Vacation time would come around, Christmas and spring, and when the girls would return, many gay and good looking dresses would be displayed. Then likewise, after each vaca­ tion, Study Hall would be called, and we would be warned against too elaborate dresses. Time went on, and vacation after vacation passed with the same results; so in the summer of nineteen hundred and twenty-four all parents of St. Helen’s Hall girls received a letter saying that each girl was to be dressed in uniform the following year. Most of us thought it was terrible, but what could be done? There was the letter, we loved the Sisters, and we loved our school; so what difference would a little thing like the change in dress make? We read on: the summer uniforms could be light blue or tan linen, the winter one navy blue or brown serge —not so bad,- and no silk or fancy stockings. It seemed like a terrible blow, but when we went to get our uniforms we were delighted with them. And now—secretly, mind!--we are glad that Sister made the change. We know we look better for school, and we also know, every night,— without giving it a second thought—just what we are going to wear to —L. P. ’25. school next morning. Sports 1 a What does one think when one uses the term, athletics? Does he connect it in any way with the importance of an education? Perhaps he considers it but the whiling away of time that should be spent in attaining actual knowledge. In behalf of enlightening the people who uphold such a belief, let us discuss briefly this subject. Sports such as baseball, football, polo, basketball, tennis and others bring out the character of the people. Sportsmanship, one of man’s finest qualities, is shown in the various fields of bodily activity. Athletics of any kind offer unlimited advantages to one, not only physically, but mentally and morally as well. In consideration of the interest shown in athletics by some of our greatest men and women of today, we should in all ways try to promote sports of every kind and help more people to see their usefulness. Our school, St. Helen’s Hall, today has many sports available for its girls. Everyone has a chance at some time of the day to enjoy whatever is most to her taste and ability. Archery is our latest acquirement in these fields. It is a different and interesting art which promotes a steadi­ ness of hand and accuracy of eye. Baseball, basketball, tennis and hockey are also included in our athletics. Time spent in athletics is therefore not wasted, for mind and body are —C. M. ’25. trained as well as refreshed. �The Keynote It was a beautiful morning, clear, crisp and sunny. The Donaldson house, with its large verandas, and big, clean pillars had the air of protecting the happiest family in the world, but a glance at the young man, who slammed the front door, and ran down the wide brick steps would shatter the thought immediately. There was a vague look of some dissatisfaction, that perhaps he did not realize himself. The slight frown that drew his dark brows into a severe, straight line, the firmly closed lips and slightly protruding jaw gave evidence of a sort of unconscious defiance. And yet as he slid into his little roadster nothing was disturb­ ing him; in fact he was feeling fine. He had a game of golf with Dick Larrity in the morning, and he had promised the afternoon to his Mother, and then he thought of the evening, a dance at the country club with ^1C,n^artrnan' Immediately his thoughts turned to Alice. hey had both graduated from college the preceding summer and arvey liked her immensely. Everyone accepted it as quite natural that Harvey Donaldson should take Alice, he had been doing it for the past I �Dc I p f) i c 11 three years, and why shouldn t he go on? But Harvey was beginning to wonder why he should go on. Alice had been acting rather queerly lately, and Harvey did not quite understand her. She was not half so sweet and friendly as she used to be and even acted as though she were a little disappointed in him. Well he did not care, he had not changed any, and what she thought did not make any difference anyway. By the time he reached the golf club the expression on his face was even more evident than before, but the game was a dandy and the day went serenely by; so when the roadster drew up before the Hartman house that night, Harvey was perfectly happy. The maid said Miss Alice would be down in a few minutes. Harvey understood the message perfectly, so made himself at home in Mr. Hartman’s reading chair in the library. In a dainty pink and white bedroom Alice Hartman was calmly taking her time and thinking her thoughts. They happened to be centered on the complacent young man sitting in her father’s easy chair. There was no doubt in her mind that Harvey was handsome and inter­ esting, but he made her furious, "I just wonder what he thinks about himself”, she snapped as she flicked a last dab of powder on her straight little nose. Then she noticed her terrifying look. “Dear me! He’ll run if he sees me looking like that. Well, for that matter, I'd like to tell him some things that would make him run. He’s so abominably lazy!” However, when she appeared at the library door she was smiling and gracious. They started off gaily together and Harvey reproached himself for even thinking anything against Alice. She was the prettiest girl he knew, and he liked her soft curly hair and smooth, clear skin, and the sweet little mouth that was so expressive. He told her again how pretty she was, and that her dress was becom­ ing, just as he did every time he took her out. He knew she liked him, and yet he felt just a little ill at ease tonight, so he talked more than usual, and laughed, and joked and unknowingly rubbed Alice to the last pitch. On the way home she finally burst out. “For heaven’s sake, Harvey, are you perfectly satisfied with this kind of a life? Do you intend to keep this up forever?” Harvey sat up with a start. Her words had touched a chord deep within him, but it made him angry to have her talk to him that way, so he only laughed rather harshly. It was more than Alice could stand. “I can’t see how anyone, who led the active life you did at college can be satisfied just to spend your Father’s money, and lounge around your Mother’s house all day, and then think you’re all right. It’s just sickening to me!” I Harvey was furious. So this was what she thought of him! He did not say a word, for the galling reason that there was nothing to say. He took her home and then drove around for hours. It was the most humiliating experience of his life. For Alice of all people to show him what he was! He had never thought of doing anything, but even in �D e l p ft i c his humiliation he felt happier than he had for some time, For the chord way inside was touched, and the reason for the expression on his usually handsome face was revealed. He needed work; he had worked all during college, and when he had graduated, and was left with nothing to do, he had lost his bearings. Well, he would show her a few things! No girl was going to tell him he was soft! The next morning Mr. H. R. Donaldson, Senior, was surprised to see his son burst into the office with a new gleam in his eye, and determina­ tion in his voice, and was even more surprised and delighted when he found that Harvey wished to begin work in his office. Harvey was a different person, The languid, indolent man had changed to an alert and energetic one. For six months he had been working, and in all that time he had neither seen nor sought Alice. He was determined to show her that he was all right, but he knew that Alice was all right, too, and he also knew he loved her. In a dainty pink and white bedroom Alice Hartman was thinking her thoughts, but not taking her time. To tell the truth she was nervous. Harvey had telephoned and said he was coming over—darling Harvey! If he only knew,—but then he probably would in time. When Alice appeared in the library doorway, she was caught in the arms of the man she loved, and as her lips were pressed against his, she realized what those six months had meant to them both. B. S. ’25. —---- Night Slowly the sable garments of the night Close o’er the weary world of day, Shielding our tired eyes from glaring light. And gently stilling sounds of noisy play. The sky is powdered with a myriad host Of tiny, sparkling, jewelled stars which sing To their golden queen, the lustrous moon-ghost Of night, who guards the world of her sun-king Thru, the silent mysterious hours. In lakes Are mirrored all these glories of the dark, And held imprisoned till the sun makes His fiery path across the sky and the lark Shall, winging her joyful and happy way, Bid a welcome to the bright, new-born day. —Celeste Proctor ’25. f 1 �D e l p f) i c 13 What We Owe To Magna Charta f •< The Constitution of the United States was not the product of a few months’ labor. On the contrary it was centuries in the making. In the truest sense it is not a mere bill of rights but a spirit born of a people’s love of freedom, and this spirit dates back to the days when King Richard had died as he had lived, far from his native land, and John sat on the throne of England. He had waited too long for the crown and sceptre and the coveted power turned to oppression in his hands, yet out of this tyranny was formed a document to shape the destinies of the world’s two greatest nations. History itself points out to us the invariable rule that whenever the iron hand of Oppression bears down on the people. Providence will send forth a champion of the Right. In England this was Stephen Langton, Archbishop of Conterbury. It was largely through his influence that the barons presented the Great Charter to John and forced him to sign it, thereby making English Liberty a definite heritage and not a mere chance in the hands of a ruler, and it is on this Charter that our Constitution is founded. Strange it seems that a rebel colony should model its government upon that of its mother country but then the Americans were still Englishmen, and .... as was said in the Revolutionary days, a lion’s whelp is a lion, and established law was one of the urgent needs of the time. The reaction of the Revolution resulted in a state of chaos. Everyone was making and breaking his own laws and the whole country seemed to be rolling rapidly down the road to destruction, but it is truer to say that it had many governments than to say it had none. There was a national government and each state had its little government and sometimes two or three assemblies and the only thing wrong with them was that they did not have the capability of ruling a united nation. Nobody wanted them to for if they did the country would not be free. The popular idea of a free country was one in which everyone made his own laws and kept them when convenient. Mobs gathered in the streets to enforce law and order by fighting the rest of the citizens into their way of thinking. This of course was patriotism, but when it became too violent the militia had to be called out Sometimes the militia pacified the mob and sometimes the mob pacified the militia. With this state of affairs existing, the statesmen felt a strong central government was needed to hold the states as a union together. For guidance they looked to the past. In Greece they saw the rule of the Archons, in Rome of the Consuls, but the glory of both Greece and Rome were but echoes of the past. America needed something better. Some- �' 14 D e l P ft i c than a monarchy was what America wanted, and that was thing stronger th£ At°thist'titme England was the only country which had a written bill of rights It was this document which they had been accustomed to as British subjects, and they naturally turned to it as a pattern on which to model their own government. The Magna Charta had been made to meet the needs of all from the serf to the king. Its articles had been proved practical by the test of time, and America copied from them, revised and suited them to her So the Constitution of the United own circumstances and added others. upon the States, though not identical with the Great Charter, , is based , . same principles, namely, the protection of the people and the assurance of justice. The Constitution has never failed us. We may turn to it at any time and find every circumstance provided for in its Articles and set forth in a fuller, more perfected form than in the English Charter which has ably served both feudal England and the modern Empire of today. The fact that stands out from all this is that our race is a freedom loving race, whether on one side of the ocean or the other, in the year 1215 or 1924, and by laying aside all Revolutionary prejudices we see that we owe to Magna Charta the Cornerstone of our Nation, the Con­ stitution, the very foundation of our Liberty. —C. A. ’25. 1 1 Dawn Turning the sky to rosy gold, As Venus sprang from out the sea one morn. So sprang more beautiful than she the Dawn, And made the chilling cold night wind less bold. To seek the mysteries that new lands hold, The poor pale moon, from endless traveling worn. Has gone to sooth some heart with sorrow torn, Her beauties to some other clime unfold. I sit and watch upon the sandy shore As Phoebus dims before the sun-gods shafts; The dawn unfolds to me her mystic love, The morning breeze, sweeping the ocean, wafts Far music, pilfered from the siren’s store Bv sea-nymphs floating in their misty crafts. — Deborah Ball, ’27. f f �DeIpbic 15 Foreign Impressions 1 1 August 8. London. Oh, such a wonderful city! The famous fogs seem to be holding off during our stay. This morning the brightly colored signs of Piccadilly Circus shone crimson under the summer sun. Another flash of red; the busses, of course. I had almost forgotten to look for them, when I noticed the continual stream of huge trucks, laden with people, flowing down the street. After a fleeting glimpse of strange shops, streets, and people, we arrived at the Tower. What a queer old place with the brilliantly clad Beefeaters holding guard over the historical building. I could almost hear the moans of Sir Walter Raleigh or some other poor prisoner, as we ascended the spiral steps to the dungeons. Deep grooves were worn in the stone where half crazed people walked to and from the tiny windows. The chopping block and ax may still be seen which gave such a tragic ending to so many people. Enough of the Tower. Westminster Abbey seemed to be our next goal. Down the queer winding streets we rode until we stopped before the door of the old Church itself. My first impression was the vastness of the building, and the thought came into my mind: how little justice was given it by photographers. Of course the Bank of England and the museums were interesting, but 1 must leave space for the rest of my impressions. August 25. Holland—the land of wooden shoes and crimson sailboats. Down the narrow canals we went, with beds of rainbow tulips on one side of us, and cattle grazing in the green fields on the other. The ever whirling windmills made a picturesque background for both scenes. We landed at the Isle of Marken and Volendam, where the quaint native costumes are still very much in evidence. Tiny girls shuffled along the bricks with their starched caps and snowy aprons. You indicate with your kodak that you would like to take their pictures. “Ten cents, please”, they reply in perfect English. Oh, yes, indeed, the foreign children are brought up with the idea that Americans are “easy marks”. * f September 15. Naples—Here we are on the shores of the Mediterranean with famous Vesuvius smoking profusely on our left. The sapphire waters made a striking contract with the brown mountain. The terrific poverty of Naples seemed to stare me in the face as we drove to the ruins of Pompeii. It seemed as if the people did not live; they simply existed. �16 Delpbic September 20. Venice—Ah, romatic Venice, the city of rose-tinted buildings, graceful gondolas and sparkling waters, As I stepped from the railway station into one of the six or seven remaining gondolas, all romance seemed to vanish. Unconsciously I trailed my hand in the filthy waters, and soon discovered I had caught an orange peel The mixed fragrance of garlic and tomatoes floated out through the dilapidated windows. Truly, 1 was dreadfully disappointed in my city of Dreams, which turned out to be a city of nightmares. October 5. Berlin - 'Unden den Linden”, the German watchword. The Linden trees, indeed, live up to their fame, with their beautiful branches nearly overlapping each other from across the street. We were forcefully advised to visit Potsdam, the famous town where the ex-Kaiser reigned in all his glory. The most wonderful sight to me was the rose garden of the late Kaiserin, which was one mass of color enshrined in a fence of golden hollyhocks. All the buildings seemed to have a cloud over them, as the glory of the German court has completely faded out. i October 10. Paris—The Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe stand out as the landmarks of Paris. Churches and museums, how many hundreds we have seen in the past few months! But a guilty conscience would be the result of not visiting the Louvre. Six miles of galleries we hiked with Mona Lisa here, Venus de Milo there, and other well-famed masterpieces hidden among the less importnat paintings and statues. In a beautiful white marble mausoleum stands Napoleon’s tomb, a mass of red marble, onyx, and lapis lazuli. The gorgeous blue windows throw a gruesome light upon the whole affair. After a lingering drive down the ChampsElysee we found ourselves face to face with the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Mercy, my French! What in the world ever made me think I knew French? 1 called the valet this morning to ask him to clean my dress. Clean? For pity’s sake, what is “clean” in French? No, I did not know that, so I took a wild chance on “pressez”. Fine, it worked. I took my first ride in a French taxi this morning, and when I got out I handed the driver a five franc note nad waited for the change. Sud­ denly a cyclone of French came upon me and we argued for five and twenty minutes, the taxi driver in French and I in English, with one or two French words thrown in here and there. Finally I discovered that I had been offering him Swiss money! Au Revoir—Gaie Paree. —M. S. ’25. I t �2D e l p t) i c 17 Budding Genius \ ♦ t In a small but attractive bedroom a tall, slender girl was standing before a long mirror surveying herself. The early morning sun stream­ ing in through the eastern window emphasized the golden glints in her curly, brown hair. The girl had large, soft blue eyes and rosy cheeks, her nose was straight and small and her lips were pretty but sensitive, her rather dainty chin and the poise of her head added to her ethereal look. There was a dreamy expression in her eyes that made you know her thoughts were not of herself or her surroundings, but far, far away in a land of mystic dreams. Suddenly she came back to her own environment again and, realizing that she had been wasting time, she ran from her room and started down the stairs, but at the sound of masculine voices in the kitchen she hesi­ tated and seemed reluctant to go on. The Morgans’ kitchen was like any other you might see in the sur­ rounding country. It was the typical country kitchen, large, hospitable and noisy. The entire family was gathered there as they were every morning. Father Morgan had finished breakfast, and was engaged in lacing up his great boots in preparation for his day’s work. He was a huge man, kind-hearted and wholesome, who loved his wife and children, but he could not quite understand his oldest daughter, whose ideas he though just a little unnatural. Mrs. Morgan was at the stove making hotcakes, with a flaming face, which emphasized her sparkling black eyes and black hair, and told of a nature enthusiastic and independent. A boy of about nineteen and a little girl of eight were sitting at the table eating. When the girl appeared in the doorway she was greeted by a chorus of happy voices. She smiled at her mother, kissed her father and winced at her brother’s pet name of Liz, called out in his big, booming voice. Oh, how she hated that name! When anyone had the stately name of Elizabeth, Liz was such an awful come down, but it did not do any good to say anything. Bess was bad enough, but as that was what she was universally called, she was used to it. “Sis, will you make my doll a new dress? Josie Brown thinks she’s awful smart with that new dress her cousin sent her and I’d just like to show her,” piped Ruth, a trifle hard to understand because of a mouthful of toast. “Yes, dear, if I have time,” was Bess’s patient answer. “Have some hot-cakes, Bess,” spoke up mother from the stove, and Father Morgan made a chuckling remark about “Sis’s fancy hair do . �D e I p ft l c 18 ;raXe a k n^to his heroine and I'll never, never be able to write anything. As soon as my imagination gets to working I'm brought to earth with a u 1 hate this country life. Oh, how 1 hate it! If I do my hair in a orenay way Dad thinks I'm foolish, and if 1 don't eat five hot cakes every pretty way, rm sick Oh, for just one taste of a city girls Ufewith pretty clothes and parties and theaters! Then it would be so easvw write If mother will only let me go and visit Aunt Harriet. Mother did let Bess go to visit Aunt Harriet, and two weeks later Bess was standing in the crowded, noisy depot of a large city She was frightened and lonely, but when an imposing looking old gentleman who shf found later was her aunt's lawyer and secretary, kindly asked if she Miss Elizabeth Morgan, her spirits rose rapidly Elizabeth. How was taken to her Aunt Harriets house in a :t sresrs* ss s» but Bess soon forgot her old maid aunt in her new surroundings. Why she couldn’t help writing in a wonderful old house like this. It was almost like a castle. But that evening when she tried to'continue her story she couldn’t seem to get her mind on it at all. The home-like kitchen so many miles away, and her happy family, was the one picture that kept coming before her eyes. But she must forget it and go work. She was sure she had talent, for her teacher said she was a genius. Bess didn’t really believe quite that, but she did think she haa a chance in the literary world. That was all on the night of her arrival, but after a week of seeing something of the big world, going to theaters, dinners and Parties w she was hardly noticed, she realized how small and insignificant sn really was, and what was worse, she realized that she wanted to g home. In her letters to her family she kept up a brave front an tne to convince herself that she loved it all, but in her heart she knew it wa the country where she had lived all her life, that she loved. Her little flare at being a genius was over. Of course she still loved to write an let her imaginaiton run, but she had found out it was just as easy to do it at home with interruptions, and lots more fun. When she dashed into the kitchen that night of her return and hear Ben’s hearty laugh and affectionate “Hello, Liz!” she knew she love i • Father Morgan had realized in her absence that his girl was differe ^ and from then on never said a word about her fancies. After d\nne , when they were all sitting around the fire and she was enthusiastica thinking out an idea for another story, she laughed when Ruth b^gan tell her about Kitty Green’s latest escapade at school, and that the Smi cow had eaten some green paint and was just terribly sick. She gazed dreamily into the ruddy embers of the fire and kne^ 0N much happier she was at home. —B.

And her eyes were soft and brown. Beautiful eyes they were, too, As she fondly looked out in the distance To the place where the blue grass grew. As she walked with the air of a queen, Her tiny feet wet with dew, She seemed to be looking for someone In the place where the blue grass grew. Finally she saw him coming And his eyes were bright and blue, And he chuckled as he passed The place where the blue grass grew. She loved him, oh, how she loved him, And she received a love as true; From this boy who lived in Kentucky, In the place where the blue grass grew. i He was only a farmer lad, But what would it mean to you If you loved this lad from Kentucky The place where the blue grass grew? The farmer boy let down the bars To let this pony pass through; Her brown eyes thanked him as he led her To the place where the blue grass grew. —Helen Love, ’28. 1 \ 19 �Signs About Town “Oh, dear!” sighed Madame Liberty, as she gazed down on the swarming mass of people just leaving the theater, “I wonder why it is that 1 must always remain up here above the street showing people where to go. They are so dull! They always need someone to lead them around, I guess. It is indeed a relief when I see the lights turned off and the doors closed for the night, for then is the time my fun begins. My arm does get so tired standing and holding this torch from six o’clock in the morning until so late at night! Someday I think I will revolt and drop it on someone’s head. Perhaps people will look up then, and I shall see something besides the top of their heads. But such is life!— and I must make the best of it, I suppose! Ah, I hear music. It must be my friend Monsieur Cat and Fiddle His music always cheers me after a long day. In a few minutes I shall be free to go and call on him.” As the lights were extinguished for the night, Madame Liberty stepped down from her pedastal and strolled up the street toward the house of Monsieur Cat and Fiddle. She went the long way around in order to ask at the Hazelwood whether anybody had picked up her fan. To her surprise as she approached she saw that the proprietor of that establish­ ment had fitted her beautiful jewelled fan onto his sign! She was most indignant, and after her interview with the manager it was a most humble man who returned her property. “Ugh!” sighed Madame Liberty, ‘‘How careless! Just as if he did not know whose fan that was!” As she was crossing Park Street she met Chief Lot-a-Noise, who accompanied her to the home of Monsieur Cat and Fiddle, where both enjoyed a delightful half hour of well executed music. Just in the middle of Monsieur Cat s favorite, ‘ A Canine Serenade at Midnight”, there was a great disturbance. Loud squeaks and grunts and roars. Much startled they all looked at once in the direction whence came the sound, and there they saw little Peter Blue Mouse and his friend Tony the Bear from Applegath’s come around the corner. Peter was rolling a ball almost bigger than himself, which radiated whole rainbows of color, and Tony was coming along beside him, taking ou one o his tiniest steps to five or six of Peter’s longest. Tears m Spre^min§ down the little Blue Mouse’s face so fast that no one could find out just what the trouble was. Finally, Madame Liberty calmed Peter enough so he could talk, and he began in a high, squeaky, teary voice: “I was p-p-playing w-with T-Tony; and he was teaching 111-me to sh-shoot my arrow b-b-ut when I sh-shot it, it went so f-far that t * t t �Delpbic 4 t 21 I c-couldn’t s-s-see where it c-came down, and I th-thought maybe it was over th-this way. Oh, I w-want m-my arrow! O-O-Oh!” We will help you “Never mind, Peter", soothed Madame Liberty, find it, won’t we, Chief and Monsieur Cat?" ‘We most surely will", they both rejoined. “Oh, w-will y-you r-r-really?” asked Peter, his face now wreathed in smiles again. “Oh, 1 will be so m-much obliged, kind people; because you see Mother Columbia loaned it to me, and she would be very much put out if I did not return it." “Tony, didn’t you see where it was headed?" asked Monsieur Cat. “No, I didn’t see where it lighted, but we were in front of Meier & Frank’s, and I thought it went somewhere over toward Washington Street. Come on, let’s start hunting for it, for it is getting late.” So they all started down the street in search of the arrow. Up one way and around a corner, everywhere they hunted, but the arrow was nowhere to be found. Tony even climbed up all the telegraph poles, but the arrow was too well concealed. “Oh, my-my a-ar-arrow," wailed Peter, where could it have gone! I don’t know wh-what M-Mother Columbia w-will say, b-but I do know sh-she will sc-cold me awfully. She just 1-loaned m-me th-that arrow, and sh-she t-told m-me to be sure and n-not 1-lose it!" And he was off again, sobbing as if his heart would break. “Well, stop crying, and we’ll keep on hunting for it. Tears won t help a bit, in fact they only make it harder for you to see! snapped Monsieur Cat, who was disgusted to have his music thus interrupted. “1 am so tired,” said Madame Liberty, “1 think a cup of coffeee would do us all good. Let’s stop at the Coffee Cup. I’m half frozen." “All right,” chimed in the rest. Just as they started in the Chief yelled a joyous cry of triumph, and pointed to the big steaming coffee cup, and there sticking out of the side of the saucer was the tip of the arrow. “Oh, boy, get it quick," squeaked Peter, as Tony climbed up and rescued the lost treasure. In the squeaking and laughing which followed they forgot all about the hot drink, and before they realized it they were way up the street; so the Chief invited them all to come to his Sandwich Shop and have bread and cheese and coffee. It all tasted so good, and they enjoyed themselves so much, that before they realized it the Journal clock struck five-thirty and they had to bid the Chief a, hasty farewell in order to get back to them respective places Of course .Peter Blue Mouse had to hurry faster than all the others for of six found he had to return the arrow to Mother Columbia; but quarter _JYF M. ’27. all of them at home. : �22 Delphic Stop!

The school says I am. My name is listed with the seniors. Having never been one before I cannot learn anything from the way I feel, but I imagine that 1 do not feel like one. I gazed profoundly at myself in a mirror and was sadly disappointed for I did not even look like one. The seniors I used to know were beau­ tiful, stately, dignified young ladies and wise beyond all comprehension. I am not at all like a young lady should be, and l am not beautiful and queenly and awe-inspiring, either, and as for knowledge I am not at all the sage 1 thought I would be. I always thought seniors had many wonderful, important things to do. Perhaps they did. Things usually change by the time I catch up to them. When 1 was in the fourth grade the teacher used to read selections from “The Lady of the Lake” to the fifth grade and sometimes she told them stories on Friday afternoons. 1 looked forward to being in that class but when 1 was promoted all this stopped for she decided that it was more profitable for the pupils to spend their spare time making up arithmetic problems which they had worked incorrectly. Those who had nothing to correct could spend their time as they wished. It was hopeless for me to have any aspirations to this felicity. The sixth.grade had a class club It was one of the things taken for granted. When 1 reached this grade I was filled with hopes of being class president, secretary and treasurer, but they put an order out against secret societies in the school. There were only seven grades then and I was looking forward to high school. It was only one year away when the school deemed it wise to add another grade. The two years, from the sixth through the eighth, finally passed. though staying after school to make up arithmetic made them seem like ten I now entered into the Academic department. The seniors presided over the study hall. They made so much.noise tapping for silence that one could not study very well. I longed for the day when I could bang in the same authoritative manner. I am a senior now but the study hall doesn't need any watching for > has suddenly mended its ways. This may seem very fine but it makes gnash ray teeth!

She was having a most delightful time and her guests seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely. As she moved from the receiving line to speak to a close friend, a Mrs. Julius intercepted her on her way, gushing out with, “Oh, my dear Mrs. Ridgewood, I simply had to stop you and ask if you would be so kind as to give me your recipe for pickled onions? Those which you sent to us were delicious, and my husband enjoyed them so much that he fairly begged me to get the recipe from you. Yes, really! I felt sure you wouldn’t disappoint me!” “Why, I’m sure I’d be very glad to, I'll have it ready before you go. Thank you, my dear.” And she moved on to speak to her friend, Mrs. Tradles Thompson. “Sadie, dear, how are the three dear children?” “Oh, Maria, I’m so worried,” replied Mrs. Thompson. “Bobbie caught the measles and the other two have it, and I’m frantic. I don’t know what to do! “You poor thing,” murmured Mrs. Ridgewood. “Well, Maria, I would appreciate it if you would give me the method you used when your two were ill. They seemed to have been cured so miraculously.” “To be sure, I’d be only too glad to help you out,—I will have it ready when you leave.” „ “Oh, I can’t thank you enough, my dear, between friends, you know. ********** As Mrs. Tradles Thompson left, Mrs. Ridgewood handed her an envelope on which was written “Measles”, and to Mrs. Julius one on which was written “Pickled Onions”, and for both she received effusive thanks. * * * * # * * That evening Mrs. Julius said to her husband: “John, I was lucky enough to get that recipe from Mrs. Smythe Ridgewood. 111 made some }* f < * * for you very soon.” Read the “Great, my dear, They won’t last long if I’m near them. recipe to me.” “Very well!” She commenced: “Place in a dark room, so that they cannot possibly see the sunlight. Keep them warm all the time and be sure that no draft enters the room. Bathe the irritated parts with a solution of borax twice a day. This helps to reduce the heat. Perform^this duty for a period ot ten days and the results will be most gratifying. “John—what—oh, I never was so insulted in my life. That woman i ; ! ; �26 D e I p ft i c shall hear from me! The very idea—to treat me that way! I always have had a sense of humor, but—" Mrs. Julius was too indignant to voice her opinions further, so we shall leave her to her thoughts. In the meantime Mrs. Tradles Thompson was joyfully opening the envelope which she supposed contained the recipe for measles. She started to peruse it eagerly—reading— "Peel and cover with hot water and salt, making a strong brine. Let them stand for twenty-four hours. Drain and cover with another hot brine. The next day drain and make a fresh brine, heat to boiling point, add onions and boil three minutes. Drain and put in jars with bits of mace, a few whole peppers, cloves, and slices of red pepper. Fill with hot water— ’’ "Oh!” by this time Mrs. Thompson was wrathful. "What did that woman give me? I suppose she thinks she can make a fool of me— Henry—oh, oh, oh— Henry—” "Yes, dear, what is it?" And Henry came on the run. "Oh!” ejactulated his wife, "she gave me a recipe for m-measles and it’s all about peeling the children and letting them stand in hot water for hours. Oh, the idea! That sort of joke doesn’t appeal to me—and I have such a sensitive nature—oh—oh!" Henry, on reading the missive, perceives the error, as does John his wife’s mistake, but there’s no use telling a woman she’s wrong. Snobbishness, tilted noses, till Mrs. Smythe Ridgewood was fairly bewildered. Then one day the sensitive nature and the sense of humor met and accidentally compared notes. 1. M. ’25. I B * �DeIp6ic 27 T ravel When I’m in a very happy mood, I like to think of how nice it would be to go to Paris, to see all the big theaters, to ride through its gay streets, and to see all kinds of interesting things. When I feel studious, I long for a trip to Greece, that l might see where old battles were fought and where ancient temples stood; for that would make history much more interesting. Sometimes I imagine myself going to China and visiting secret opium dens and gambling houses, where there are terrible blood stains on the walls and floors. I imagine myself being pursued by frightful Chinamen and only being saved by some miracle. For beauty I would go to Italy or Hawaii to see all nature’s wonders, to go driving on Italian boulevards or to sit in the shadow of some palm and watch the tropical sun set into a golden ocean. But when I’m sleepy or tired I’d rather be cuddled up in a big chair in front of a cozy fire in my own home, than to be traveling anywhere in the —Margaret Johnson ’27. whole wide world. I The Finale r * The last day of the camping season found Camp Nomanee in great confusion. Tents were being taken down, army blankets checked up, the campus cleaned, canoes stored away, and a hundred and one other things being done that bridge upon departure. Here and there were small groups of girls, some talking and laughing, busy with packing, others in their bathing suits were paying their last respects to the dear old swimming hole, and still others were strolling leisurely through their favorite haunts, bidding them a fond farewell. And just in the busiest moment of the busiest day, came photographers who wished to take motion pictures of the camp and its inhabitants. Then came a pause in the day’s occupation, a time when we all felt just a little nearer each other than before, a time when the pervading atmosphere of jollity took a more earnest note, and we all seriously thought of what the future held for each of us. Suddenly our thoughts were interrupted by the clear musical notes of a bugle sounding melodiously in our ears. Of one accord we made one grand dash for the mess tent, for no Nomanee girl ever lost her appetite brooding over thoughts of departure. Our spirits were soon revived by devouring the most delicious dinner imaginable, a dinner with which the most pretentious Sybbarite could find no fault. Then such rousing cheers were sung, such chattering, such happiness caused by the mere fact that we could partake of the keen joy of living. The meal being over, we retired to our tents to don the ceremonial costume, a dress which greatly resembles that of an Indian maiden. It is �SD e I p j)i c decorated with our ambitions, our heart's desires, our attainments. We take great pride in this gown which is the record of our life, and we'try to guide our actions in such a way that the record may be spotless. Slowly the sun sank in the West, leaving the horizon tinted as autumn leaves, and soon after, evening shadows enveloped the hills. A twinkle here and a twinkle there, and the whole sky, as if by magic, became alight with millions of sparkling stars. One by one the girls quietly wended their way up the hill on which the council fire was held, a ceremony which took place but once during the camping period. It was regarded as the most beautiful, sacred and impressive event of the whole moon and none but full fledged members of the fire could sit within the circle and tend its mysterious flame. Then was the time honors were awarded, legends told, songs sung, and then was the time above all when we hated to leave our outdoor home. When the last strains of “Lay Me to Sleep in Sheltering Flame’’ had been sung, we stole softly away, to rest and sleep in heavenly peace, till dawn brought forth another day. Rest and sleep, did we say? Oh, no! Surely not that. Who of all that merry throng wished to spend the last night in sleeping. Former rules and regulations were by one and all disregarded, and the campus became dotted with white figures, determined upon enjoying to the utmost this glorious moonlight evening. Soon a flashlight procession was in session, the cook was awakened, the councilors were serenaded in romantic fashion, and pillow fights were in order. It was long after mid­ night before we merry revelers were brought to the realization that sleep is a necessary faction of good health, and so, after all, group after group retired to their cots, to spend the remainder of the nocturnal hours in sleeping. —Eleanor Poorman ’26. t * An Oregon Sunrise The earth is draped in Heavenly silence; Wood fragrance fills the crispen air; A warm glow tints the far horizon, Turning dewdrops to opals fair. A lurid ball of flame, half hidden, Floods the earth with purple light; A profile of a dazzling topaz, Set in the brow of dying Night. H See, fairy clouds the portal guarding, Where myriad rays of color play! Behold the flaming coach of PhoebusBearing the infant hour of Day! —Helen Gray Gatens, ’27. * �D e I p ft i c 29 Liberty 1 What is liberty! The word in itself means much. It is what our country was founded upon. It is supposed to mean freedom, but if every one truly felt himself free to do as he chose, what an awful tumult would arise. All are slaves to desire, custom and passion. People would not want to be really free, at liberty. He who honestly thinks himself to be free is only the more in bonds, the bonds of his own reason. Truly, “liberty is but the privilege of choosing your bondage”. —Dorothy Mautz ’26. Democracy * > Democracy is not merely a political term and it is not only, as some people might say, the showing of the freedom of American people. Democracy, this political system, is that the government is directly con­ trolled by the people. In a democracy where the right of making laws resides in the people at large, public virtue is more likely to be found. In some of the states of the United States pure democracy is found, as it was in some of the Greek states. Democracy is a political and legal equality, a state of society without class distinction made or favored by laws or customs. Democracy is, as defined by President Lincoln, ‘ A government of the people, by the people, and for the people. —Catherine Martin ’25. Culture f i Culture is not merely the training and refining of the moral or intel­ lectual faculties. It is something which everyone can have, taken from the point of refinement in people, if one really wants it. Yet it is an elusive object to describe. A cultured person has that undeniable some­ thing about him which immediately stamps him as being refined. We cannot tell right away what it is, but we know that it is there, and marks the person who has it as distinct from the common crowd. A cultured person is distinguished and noticeable but not in a conspicuous way. Culture is sometimes the cultivation of plants or a study of scientific subjects, or the study of the growth and development of plants and animals. Still, everyone knows and feels the presence of culture, be it in the laboring man or learned man, for it is the essence of good taste, manners and refinement. * �Much enthusiasm has been shown in Athletics in general and basket­ ball in particular this fall. Judging from the enthusiasm of the first and second Uppers, St. Helen s Hall will have promising basketball teams in the future. The first and second teams were posted, and are now working hard. They consist of: First Team: Center—Katie Martin (Captain). Side—Centers—Helen Peters, Roberta Pittock. Forwards—Marjorie Mariner, Nancy Chipman. Guards—Helen Loomis, Betty Allyn. Second Team: Center—Analene Cohen. Side-Center—Evelyn Meyer. rnraNrHldV^ari°oie Pittock> Elizabeth Martin. Guards—Velma Payne, Edythe Hartley, Helen Dunn.

Our yell leader, Mayanna Sargent, aroused more “pep” than has ever before been known. The third and final game was played on November 21 at Multnomah Club. It was the most thrilling, wildly exciting game, that the Hall girls have ever witnessed. Both teams were evenly matched, and it was a battle from start to finish, Our team played as it never had before, and when the final whistle blew, we had won. No one knew what the outcome would be until the last minute. The score was 18-20. The lineup was as follows: Center—Katie Martin. Side-Center—Helen Peters. Forwards—Elizabeth Martin, Marjorie Mariner. Guards—Velma Payne, Edythe Hartley. _ , _ Substitutions—Betty Allyn for Edythe Hartley; Roberta Pittock for Helen Peters. This game determined who should keep the cup for which the two schools have been playing for the past three years. The first year Gatlin’s was victorious, the second year St. Helen’s won. This year was the end of the two out of three series. Mrs Parry has given a silver cup as a hockey trophy, and the school is planning to form two hockey teams in the spring. The game was started in the school a few years ago and the girls were enthusiastic; so now we want to start it again, and really make something of it. I 4 ! Rallies S-t.

There were twenty couples present, a most convenient number for the Hall Annex, where the dance took place. The boarders all like the Annex, which was used socially for the first time, and they hope to use it a^ain for their parties. The Old Girl-New Girl Party ! I I ; I ; i Bold Captain Kidd, the demure Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, sly Tom Sawyer and his pal, Huckleberry Finn, the three dashing musketeers, Hans Brinker, or was it his sister, Gretal?, the little Egyptian, Babbie! Little Lord Fauntleroy, bright little Peter Rabbit, and even the Ancient Mariner, besides oceans of others, stepped out of their respective books for nearly four hours on the evening of September 25th. In other words, the old girls were entertaining the new girls at our annual Old GirlNew Girl party, and everyone came as a character from some book. After the grand march the prizes were awarded. The first one went, after much deliberation, to Peter Rabbit, the second to Huck Finn, and the third to the much loved Rebecca. Or to be more explicit, to Pricilla House, Elizabeth St. Clair and Geraldine Kirby. Then followed the initiation of the new girls, a very exhausting ex­ perience we are sure. Nevertheless, the new girls, especially one young athlete, struggled through it with very good grace. After this everyone joined in and danced, and later on refreshments were served, and then more dancing, until it was time to stop. Every­ one agreed that this party had been the “best ever” and we are sure that the new girls felt much more at home among us the next day. The girls of the Hall who are pupils of Miss Jocelyn Foulkes attended a most unique reception Tuesday evening, November fourth, at Miss Foulkes’ home. Percy Grainger, the eminent Australian pianist and composer, was the guest of honor. The small group of musical people whom Miss Foulkes invited to meet Mr. Grainger were surprised to find him a very ordinary man as to appearance, except for a mass of golden hair, which, however, did not tend to make him seem effeminate. His extraordinarily pleasing personality made his lecture-lesson to three of Miss Foulkes’ pupils an exceptionally interesting event. He pointed out bad points here, and good points there, in those works of his which they played, thereby bringing out his, the composer’s, own conception of their meaning. Mr. Grainger here revealed an entirely different side from that which most of his admirers see on the concert stage. His every word concern­ ing music revealed how fully this great man put his whole life into his art. Miss Foulkes played a two piano-four hand arrangement by Humbert of Faure’s quartet in C minor with Mr. Grainger. This performance was remarkably successful despite the fact that the two players had had no previous rehearsal. �__ I The Delphic is pleased to acknowledge the following exchanges: The Blue Pencil, Walnut Hill School, Natick, Massachusetts.

Playing a piano is, of course, aided by constant practice, but practice on a piano is a pleasure. Just stand by a phonograph for an hour and keep it going at an even rate of speed. At the end of fifteen minutes you will be tired, at the end of a half hour your hand will be stiff, and after an hour you will probably collapse or do something equally desperate. One cannot learn this art by practice,—it must be naturally born in one. This makes the art a far rarer thing than it would otherwise be. Ask the boarders; they know. In fact, you can ask anyone who has managed to use their phonograph after the spring in it has broken, and everywhere you will meet with the information that running a phono­ graph is a feat of the greatest delicacy as well as an accomplishment of the highest order. I said the boarders before, because they have suf­ fered severely from the broken spring in their phonograph. This tragedy, which took place some time ago, has caused a number of them to aspire to become artists along this rare new line. Among the aspirants, Ger­ aldine Kirby undoubtedly occupies the majestic seat at the very top, for in t is art, Jerry is indeed a “top-notcher”. Her time is unerring, her effort^nU f 56 the GnVy °f any 0pera sinSer> she is tireless in her ra ^ eaSf everyone at same time, and what is more wonderful, ® cf" 7" * Phono8raPh. for a whole hour without collapsing.

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.
