The staff realized early in the year that in this one volume we could not possibly describe and depict Hall life in its whole form, but, rather, we must constrain ourselves to recording those parts that would recall the fullest memories. In reviewing the experiences, we are but so barely out of, only a portion of their true value is clear to us. r® u r At the moment we see only the im­ mediate benefit of good instruction, the enjoyment of friendly teacher-student associations, the har­ r mony of student activities when everyone cooperated to the best of her ability. These things are & the essence of school spirit and successful student government. Still I say it will be future years when we shall truly comprehend the truth and value of ★ things learned here. r[ » To this end we give you this edition of the Delphic, dedicated to our faculty, as a remembrance of the things we have worked on and enjoyed together. BARBARA JEAN FREEMAN. i * H I * f r i i u u �' p ( E J r "JJeliold us, gracious saviour, m girlhood s morning bright, Look on us in Thy mercy, and guide us with Thy light. Life’s journey lies before us, go with us all the way, So shall we love Thee truly and serve Thee day by day �r i f This is written in the midst of a January blizzard! Out of loyalty to our Northwest, one should hesitate to mention this especially if one felt that the only historical record of the winter of 1949 was going to be found in the Delphic. [! [ Naturally it won't be. Neither will the historical record of the class of 1949 of St. Helen's Hall be found only here. It was written first in the hearts and minds of the men and women who eighty years ago determined that young women of their day and of future generations would be given the advantages of a Christian education. (And it was writ­ ten there, by their spiritual forebears). It was continued through feast and famine, war a nd peace, economic depression and prosperity, by boys and girls, men and women, nuns and priests and bishops. until today. Today and tomorrow you will write it. It is true that the 1949 Delphic is part of the record—but not all. ''The polished corners of the temple" are parts of the whole, used and useful. Set once in the original foundations by the design of the architect, at the hands of the workmen, their presence is funda­ mental, their function is historical, their memory will be cherished.

Under Mrs. Fors' very able sponsorship and counsel, the class has been successful in everything they have undertaken. In sports they have proved extremely able opponents, and in student affairs many a junior has been more than instrumental in the success of the projects contracted. Active throughout the entire year, the Junior Class again became the center of attention with the presentation of the annual Junior Prom. This last formal dance in honor of the graduating seniors fully measured up to standard Despite all the school activities over which the Junior Class presided, or in which they took an active part, they still found ample time to have some very enjoyable class parties, dinners. and excursions. �' . 1.

Continuing a tradition which they instituted last year they were co-hostesses with the sophomore class of Catlin's at a dance held in Scadding Hall on January 14. One of the most successful of their undertakings was the Cupid's Ball, given February 4. The "White Elephant Sale," one of their projects for the Junior Carnival, was very successful and nearly a sell-out. lr rr A noon program of folk-dancing, under the sponsorship of the sophomores, has proved a decidedly enjoyable addition to the lunch period Mrs, Easterday served as adviser for our gifted "oldest" underclassmen. I r - FRESHMAN CLASS The freshman class this year has been by every standard - a very lively and adventuresome one, full of school spirit. They have managed to carry out every undertaking with this same enthusiasm. One project in particular, which we all felt was well done, was their balloon and fish-pond concessions at the Junior Carnival. Their adviser Mrs. Gearhart gave a dinner for them at her home in December. We would like to commend this class especially for the pep and good sportsmanship they have shown during the year in connection with their team sports. The kind of spirit they have shown is a decisive factor in the development of a good "Hall girl," and we believe the freshmen have made an excel­ lent beginning.

HELENAS r rn :r fP Helenas is an honorary-service organization named after the Hall s patroness. Saint Helen. The Senior Helenas members are in charge of morn ing chapel duty and the Juniors arrange the flowers for the altar. This year Helenas members served at the fall reception for the faculty and school board. They had charge of the "Lost and Found" and arranged decorations in the halls during the Yuletide season. The faculty member who so helpfully counsels Helenas 5s Mrs. Epler. �!' , rT B SHARP CLUB B Sharp is composed of the members of Mrs. Epler's chorus class. They made their debut by entertaining the Mother's Club and faculty with a musical takeoff on a woman's club meet­ ing. They combined their efforts with those of the speech and modern dance departments to produce a unique Christmas program. Twice during the year they furnished the choral back­ ground for morning worship service broadcasts. Their most important project, the operetta "Martha", was given in the spring. B Sharp made its last appearance on the May Fete program.

Mrs. Wolfson is their counsellor muy buena. The first event on their calendar was the initiation dinner for new members. According to tradition the Club sold leis at the Junior Carnival. At Easter they sent a basket to a needy family. "Las senoritas" enjoyed a wonderful picnic at Ever­ glades in May. C. A. A ♦ The Girls' Athletic Association encourages school sports at the Hall. For membership the girls are required to earn a certain number of points each year by participating in school athletics. At the first of the year G.A.A, had a swimming party at Everglades. With their advisor Miss Cook they were hostesses to the Northwest Independent Schools' play day held at the Hall, and they sponsored inter-athletic activities with Catlin's.

The Hallites have won the city championship for three consecutive years, as the five various trophies in the round table room prove. Eleven of the old volley ball veterans were back this year to form the nucleus of this year's Hallites' team.

ELIZABETH tttLL. i FOG BEAUTY INCOGNITO Fog sheds her long, gray mantle. % Over the sleepy town, The mountain appears a Down it comes like a curtain. J snow-white cloud. Gleaming while; Slowly, softly down. In reality it is a treacherous tomb. A filmy, frothy curtain. Infinitely black. Drapes the fresh, green trees. Fleecy snow whirling in the air. Clothing them in silver. Darting 'round. Staining gray the leaves. But comes the hard, biting wind. The houses seem like shadows. Driving it mad. Black, and gray and white. The staunch pines in a fight to survive. Part of the velvet curtain. Bending down. Part of the purple night. The rocks and hills lose their shape Eerie are the shadows, Under the foe. Drifting through the night. The snow melts; the summer comes. Like silent ghosts they wander, Everything thrives. Beneath the street lamps' light. But after the sun, again—the snow. Fog lifts her silver mantle, Hindering life. Lifts them for the dawning Of a new and glorious day.

Puppies here, pupplies there. Did you ever see the trees bend down Goodness, it seems that they're everywhere. One got in my closet, and oh, what a mess; That little black rascal has torn my best dress! The day was knitting and rushed to the phone. My yarn was In ruins, a makebelieve bone. When Dad left his slippers by his own easy chair Like dancers in the wind To kiss the sodden, dead, cold earth As If to make it live? Did you ever sec the crystal rain Sweep across the empty street Like the silver strings of an angel's harp Mixed with the blinding sleet? The pups seemed to realize no one was there; The street lamps stand erect and tall So ripping and snarling and tearing with vim. They soon had the slippers dissected for him. It's funny how naughty those puppies can be. Shedding their whisper of light Against a curtain of tenements Stained black by the dark of night. n And still hold a spot in the heart that's in me.

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.
