ST. HELEN’S HALL offers to all its students, a wholesome,
happy atmosphere in which they may grow from child­
hood into youth, with cultivated, disciplined minds, and
with a deepening knowledge of spiritual values. Because
their emotional maturing is carefully fostered, it envisions
for them an integrated adulthood, free from fear and free
from prejudice.
In its small classes, with the guidance of trained and con­
secrated teachers, the Hall encourages, stimulates and guides
the student toward the best use of her individual abilities and
talents. A well-rounded program lays the foundation for an
adult life, which shall offer vital service to the community.
Through daily Chapel services, through daily association
with its beloved Chaplain, through courses in religious edu­
cation, the Hall works to give to all its students moral
strength to mold Christian character, and to develop unshakeable integrity, — these to be an invincible shield
throughout life. The Hall’s slower pace enables it to educate
all in the “grace of good manners,” that outward sign of in­
ward character.
In the oneness of its three major divisions, preschool,
lower school and upper school, St. Helen’s Hall offers to its
pupils an opportunity for a continuing school life whereby
,
f

sa
f

educational security will promote emotional security.
Above all, in its awareness of the seriousness and sacredness of its responsibility, St. Helen’s Hall realizes that it must
train all who come so that “they may love whatsoever things
are pure and lovely and of good report.”

�•//

THEN AND NOW Founded by the Right Reverend B.
Westar Morris, D.D., Bishop of Oregon, St. Helen’s Hall was
opened in 1869, just two years after the admission of Oregon
to Statehood. It was organized under the Episcopal Diocese
to meet and serve the needs of the daughters of pioneer fam­
ilies. Miss May B. Rodney, sister-in-law of Bishop Morris,
was the first Headmistress.
By 1890, the Hall had outgrown its first quarters and a
fine new building on Vista Avenue was put up. Unhappily,
this was totally destroyed by fire in 1914. Temporary ar­
rangements were utilized, until, in 1918, the Hall was moved
to its present site. There, from one building to eight, St.
Helen’s Hall has grown and expanded with the years, as
demands were made on its services by an ever-enlarging
community.
The original Morris Hall houses the Chapel, administra­
tion offices, library, dining rooms, infirmary, staff bedrooms,
the kitchens and laundry. Scott Hall, a residence for the girls
of the Upper School, is a modern, extremely well-equipped
building with every living comfort, and with a lounge and
sun- deck for leisure hours. Scadding Hall contains the
auditorium and stage, the music office, the classrooms for
domestic art, the senior homeroom and a small, but well
equipped kitchen, to facilitate entertaining.
The Lower School is housed in a modern, one-story build­
ing which contains, in addition to attractive classrooms, the
domestic science unit. The Chapel here seats approximately
two hundred students. A library, with gayly muraled walls,
offers an ideal spot for browsing and study. The adjacent
gymnasium completes the buildings of the main quadrangle.
On the opposite side of Thirteenth Avenue is the Pre­
school, with large play areas on either side. Next to it is the
home of the Lower School girls who are residents. With its
own Housemother, this smaller unit functions as a happy
family. There is a homey living-room, and a small kitchen

After a long journey around the Horn, the bell found its home at the first St, Helen's Hall. The
only survivor of the fire of 1914, it daily calls us info Chapel.

where Sunday night suppers and the ever-necessary snacks
are prepared.
A residence for the Headmistresses contains a parent’s
suite, where visiting parents may stay, if they wish, when
they come to Portland. In such cases, meals may be eaten,
with their daughters, in the main dining hall.
Serving the daughters of Oregon’s prominent Episcopal
families, the Hall also welcomes girls of all creeds, uniting
them in an atmosphere retaining “the grace and dignity of
a venerable past,” but infecting them with “the breadth and
vision of a growing and ever-challenging future.”

W E LIVE TOGETHER For its residents, St. Helen’s Hall
desires, above all else, to provide a Christian home environment. As a church school, we exist on a religious level. As a
family, we gather after dinner for a few moments of evening
prayer in our Chapel. We attend church on Sunday, and for
those girls who do not wish to attend the Episcopal church,
and who so state at the beginning of the school year, arrangements are made to attend churches of their own denomina­
tion. We strive to make our life God-centered, knowing that
this is the best way to keep us all happy and secure. We are
never pious, we hope, but neither are we afraid to acknowl­
edge Christ as our leader.
Through a balanced schedule of study, play, and light
household tasks, all are helped to understand the wise use
of time. Freedom is increased and privileges extended as
students demonstrate their ability to assume responsibility.

A UKELELE AND A CORN POPPER INSURE A HAPPY HOUR

r

A House Council, together with floor proctors, who are under
the jurisdiction of Housemothers, supervises dormitory life.
Weekends, are welcomed for the leisure they bring.
Group attendance at concerts and plays is arranged through­
out the year. Full advantage is taken of other cultural
opportunities as they occur. Visiting, with family and
friends is encouraged on Sundays, after, church. One week­
end away from the Hall is permitted during those months in
which there is no long vacation. Saturday shopping trips are
usual. Adequate chaperonage is provided and students are
expected, when chaperoned to plays or concerts, to divide
the cost of the chaperone’s participation.
A lounge, exclusively for the use of the girls residing in
Scott Hall, and an informal living room in the Cottage, home
of the “graders,” provides a homelike place to relax, to serve
Sunday night suppers, or to entertain day students in the late
afternoon.

��THE SCHOOL AT PLAY Knowing that all work and no
play is bound to make Jill a very dull girl indeed, the school
calendar allows for many social events, some of which are
impromptu, but many of which have become traditional.
Year after year the girls delight in the following events:
OLD GIRL —NEW GIRL TEA
The old girls entertain the new girls, together with their parents,
at a formal tea during Registration Week. Former students act as
hostesses and as guides on “conducted tours” of the buildings.
SENIOR DINNER
On the night before the formal opening of school, town and resi­
dent seniors meet at dinner to talk over the summer’s experiences
and make plans for the year.
HALLOWE’EN
The first fall “informal” takes place at this time. In the lower
school, a traditional masquerade party is held, all parading mer­
rily through the halls of the upper school. Prizes are awarded for
the cleverest and the funniest costumes.
OUR MERRY CHRISTMAS
The week that precedes Christmas vacation is one of intense ac­
tivity. It climaxes the fall program and catches up everyone into
a spirit of jollity and good will. Beginning with the trimming of
the great tree in Scadding Hall, (followed by hot chocolate and
cookies in Scott Hall lounge), there is given, the next night, the
Christmas play and Nativity pageant. At the close of this moving
scene, the upper school girls, together with those of grades VII
and VIII, lay at the foot of the Crib, their gifts for the less for­
tunate boys and girls of Portland. Gifts, tree, and all the school,
both young and old, receive the Christmas blessing of the Bishop.
A backstage party for the cast brings to a close this memorable
day. The next night is the Annual Christmas Dinner, of Trustees,
Faculty, and students. A truly gala time “is had by all.” Santa
Claus finds gifts in his pack for everyone. Sleepy-eyed perhaps,
but happy, all start out next morning in a motor caravan to de­
liver, personally, the gifts that had been placed at the Crib. On the
last morning, the Choir goes carolling through the halls, and at
noon, following the dismissal bell, gay goodbyes resound on every
side.

MAY DAY
here, as at most schools, is one of the year’s most beautiful events.
The crowning of the May Queen, surrounded by her lovely Court,
climaxes a program which is directed by the Fine Arts depart­
ment. This is followed by an evening dance in Scadding Hall.
THE SENIOR PLAY
is given late in April. Its purpose is to raise money for the senior
gift to the school.
SKIP DAY!
Sometime in May, there comes a day when there simply are no
seniors to be seen about — come dawn, they have skipped out.
Only the Headmistress knows when this day will fall.
SENIOR WEEKEND
is another late spring event. It is a long weekend at the shore, for
both day and resident students.
SILVER TEA
This is a farewell tea given by the seniors for faculty and lower
classmen. It is planned to take place to bring the stress of exam
week to a quiet close.
COMMENCEMENT
This week of weeks, opens with Baccalaureate Sunday. The serv­
ice is held at Trinity Church, Dr. Lansing Kempton traditionally
gives the parting address. Class Day, on Monday, opens with
luncheon on the terrace. In the afternoon, honors and awards are
given out by Bishop Dagwell at a formal assembly in Scadding
Hall. Then dawns the greatest day of all — Commencement Day
itself. The Exercises take place in the evening at Trinity Church.
As the crowning of four years of work and play, every effort is
made to see that this is an occasion of unforgettable beauty.

OUR UPPER SCHOOL The upper school provides a cur­
riculum designed primarily to prepare students for college.
Some freedom of choice is offered, mainly in the junior and
senior years, but these choices are largely determined by
college entrance requirements.
For the girl who does not intend to enter college, or who
may be preparing to make her contribution to society in
other fields of activity, a general course of study is offered,
allowing for a wider latitude of choice. However, in both
courses the traditional standards of good scholarship and
fine character must be maintained.
The diploma of the Hall is awarded to those students who
fulfill the basic requirements, as listed below. For those stu­
dents whose program, because of frequent transfer or be­
cause of the necessity of special study, cannot fill these basic
requirements, a certificate is given. This certificate is based
on the requirements for graduation from high school, as
determined by the State Department of Education. A mini­
mum of sixteen credits is required for graduation. Required
subjects, with their credit values, are listed below:
4
English
2, 3, or 4
Languages
2 or 3

�Description of Courses
ENGLISH
The English courses have as their basis, the development of communica­
tion skills, both written and oral.
This work includes directed reading, grammar, composition, letter writ­
ing, word attack (spelling, phonics, vocabulary) and literature.
This school predicates its teaching on the belief that “Reading is think­
ing. Readers read as well as they think and no better.”
A student's vocabulary is as indicative of her mentality as an intelligence
quotient. All subjects in school depend on the ability to read. For this
reason, the girls are taught to recognize and interpret patterns of writ­
ing. They are required to learn the techniques of outlining, recognizing
key ideas, and summarizing.
This technical instruction is supplemented by adequate required and
independent reading programs of the classics as well as contemporary
writers. Our objectives are to foster a love of books and to familiarize the
girls with the various types of writing; short stories, novels, biography,
essays, poetry and plays.
Training in the use of the library is considered an integral part of the
English instruction.
Good speech is emphasized at all times. Individual diagnosis is made bv
the use of a recording machine. Students are trained to take part in panel
discussions and to direct a meeting according to parliamentary form.
Every effort is made by direct instruction to teach the techniques of how
to study effectively.

LANGUAGES
Latin is the preferred choice for freshmen, although French may be
chosen as the beginning language. The school believes that Latin has
great importance as a basic study for the understanding and clarifying of
the English language. Further, the student learns of the great and ever­
lasting contributions of the Roman world to our modern civilization.

r

MODERN LANGUAGES
In French and Spanish, the basic skills in oral and written forms are
thoroughly taught. Every effort is made to give the student a wide, cul­
tural knowledge of the French and Spanish people, by learning their his­
tory, their literature, and their contributions to contemporai\ life. A
French table at luncheon is planned to give selected students daily prac­
tice in the social amenities of that language.

�MATHEMATICS
The courses in Mathematics aim to give the student a workable foundation in concepts
and skills, by teaching through organization and exact expression, logical and orderly
thinking. Algebra and Geometry are required in the college preparation course and ad­
vanced Algebra is offered for those whose College Boards require it. A course in applied
Arithmetic is planned for those students who are weak in the fundamental processes or
for those who wish to pursue further the subject matter undertaken in grades VII and
VIII. This course includes personal and household budgeting, installment buying, loans,
investment practice, taxes, and other practical problems.

SACRED STUDIES
Each year the student follows a definite course of study, designed to give her a knowl
edge and appreciation of the Bible. Through discussion and personal conferences, every
effort is made to develop such interest in the spiritual values of life that a sound Chris­
tian character will emerge.
Daily attendance at Chapel services teaches that the worship of God is an integral part
of their daily lives rather than a ritual reserved for once a week.

HEALTH EDUCATION
Every girl must participate in the program of Health Education, unless
certified to the contrary by her own physician. Tennis, archery, bad­
minton, volleyball and basketball, are our major sports. Teams lake part
in city-wide tournaments, as well as in inter-class and inter-school com­
petition. Swimming is a required subject. Each girl will be expected to
obtain her Lifesaving Certificate before being graduated.
A twelve-weeks program of skiing, under competent European instruct­
ors, is offered during January, February and March. Occasional skiing
weekends at Timberline Lodge are planned. Riding is a favorite sport and
classes are held weekly at the Portland Hunt Club.
Home nursing and first aid are required courses. This work is under the
direction of the Red Cross.
The Hall recognizes that correct health habits play a large role in
i a
happy and successful life. Health records are kept of all students. Periodic
examinations are required. Audiometer tests are made of all students, as
are Chest X-Rays. A resident nurse is on duty at all times.

SOCIAL STUDIES
Ancient and Medieval History This course is planned to give students a knowledge
of past civilizations and of their relationship with the present. It will also afford them
an understanding of the frequent allusions made lo the men, events, and ideas of the
two periods.
U. S. History Our purpose in this course is to gain a knowledge and an appreciation
of our American heritage, so that we may preserve and strengthen it through intelligent
citizenship. Contemporary problems are discussed in the light of the forces that have
brought them about, and attention is given to previous efforts made to solve them.

American Problems Current problems, social, economic, and political, will be analyzed and compared with the same problems in other nations. These problems, being
rooted in the past, will also be studied against an historical background.

THE SCIENCES
General Science Here the major courses are briefly introduced and the way indicated
for further individual study. All levels of capacity for high school work are tapped in this
course . For all, there has been a revealing of nature’s laws. For those who are to continue
in Biology and Chemistry, a broad basis and a valuable scientific vocabulary have been
acquired.
Biology Our course is alive. We study marine life on our Oregon beaches, native as well
as cultivated trees, shrubs and flowers, as we find them on our campus or on the neigh­
boring hillsides. Emphasis is placed, always, on the conservation of, as well as the eco­
nomic value, of our flora and fauna. Human physiology is the climax of the study of all
animal life.
Chemistry This is taught with the greatest cm phasis upon a thorough background for
future college courses. Students perform their own experiments with excellent equipmen l Our texts and laboratory books are always the newest and best obtainable.

&gt;

OUR LOWER SCHOOL
The Lower School, comprising grades I through VIII, has as
its definite objective, the development of a healthy, happy,
integrated personality. Working, studying, and playing in
small groups, under friendly teachers, the lower school chil­
dren develop as individuals, at their individual speeds, to­
ward a common goal. The pupils learn to evaluate their own
abilities and to understand that being different in some
things does not necessarily mean being inferior. The child
who finds Spelling difficult may gleefully lead the rest in
Arithmetic. One may “read anything at seven;” another
may take two years longer to attain the same proficiency.
In the total picture, all will have acquired a mastery of the
basic skills of education — those old-fashioned three-R’s.
These skills hold first place in all grades. Drill in these funda­
mentals is not only necessary, but indispensable. However,
there still remains time for the “frills” of our modern day.
Besides Reading, Arithmetic, oral and written Language,
and the specialized Arts, great emphasis is given to Social
Studies. These, History and Geography, are taught in corre­
lation with other subjects, according to the best educational
practices.
OUR LITTLE GIRLS ARE ON THEIR TOES!

The household arts are a practiced part of the program
of the seventh and eighth grades. These upper classes, though
still in Lower School, are carefully prepared for full partici­
pation as freshmen of the Upper School, with as little sense
of dislocation as possible. This is accomplished by such means
as semi-weekly participation in Upper School Chapel, by tak­
ing a part of their curriculum under Upper School faculty
and by a gradual inclusion in several of the Upper School
social events.

�PRESCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN
Our Preschool and Kindergarten are child-centered and seek
to provide a wholesome environment in which to develop
the whole child.
Through daily inspection by the nurse, by a balanced
diet under the supervision of a trained dietitian, in a safe,
adequate and sanitary plant, each child is assured of proper
physical growth and of the development of sound health
habits. Mental development is promoted through a program
rich in guided experiences. Creative materials are used as a
constructive release. On the social level, active group play
gives opportunity for understanding and enjoying otheis.
This parallels the necessary give-and-take of the more ma­
