H 1 ... of Small Classes . . . °f t0uay'S.pr0jlcm of t0° often overcrowded classes, St Helen's Hall still adheres rigidly to its educational plan of small classes. There are frequent conferences between student and faculty, group meetings, and round-table Ksions. In the Upper School each girl has a faculty adviser with whom she is kept Lowffsfh^rh50 1hat lndlVlduau1 Problems may be discussed and solved. In the Lower School he classroom teacher is exceedingly close to each of her student! and is constantly aware of his or her progress. A democratic and friendly spirit prevails, with all students recognized for their fnidfmfh2 takntS and abl-‘tieS- Because the grouP ^ comparatively small all which tLy a7eimeSrCUnlty “ *****“* in an? acdvities of the School in . . . of Location . . . Because of the Hall’s strategic location within a ten-minute walk of Portland’s metropolitan area, students make . constant use of municipal, state, and federal institutions, as well ;as of the city s social agencies, as laboratories in which they may enrich their studies. Cultural opportunities are many, with but a short walk to theatres library > art museum, concerts, operas, and churches. ’ P^lthe/n°?S'miidef’ a short,ddve takes one skiing at Mt.

The chic-looking and well-tailored regulated dress, with its navy blue flared skirt, jewel red cardigan blazer, and white dacron blouse is enjoyed by every high school gir . It is a relief to her not to have to begin each day with a decision as to what to wear. It is likewise a boon to her parents not to have to plan and finance an e aborate wardrobe. Best of all, it creates a completely democratic atmosphere by eliminating clothes competition and insuring simple, tasteful, and attractive dress for the hours of the school day. 2 .; �, _:rls of the Lower School are equally happy with regulated dress The boys and g , groups.

Thrnuah the preschool and elementary grades St. Helen's Hall believes that it is IS and healthful experience for boys and girls to work together m the class^ m^nd nlav together during recreational periods. The boys have special work “ hop whik Sob are Joining skill in cooking and sosving. Both groups eain much from the creative experience of making something with their own hands both in these classes and in their art classes, at the same time that they are acquiring a sound education scholastically, which will enable them to carry credit­ ably the more advanced work of their high school years. They will be fully pre­ pared to enter the more specialized, college preparatory high school courses, rather than having to mark time in general courses of a less challenging nature. St. Helen’s Hall Upper School is deeply conscious of the need for every girl to have her own individual design for living. That design is blueprinted during her school years and developed during succeeding years of gracious and effective living. Friendships and loyalties are strong in a girl’s school. Not that boys aren t important! We love to have them at proms, informal dances, and week-end dates. However, if classes are concentrated on studies and boys are strictly extra-curricular during the teen-age years, there are certain advantages in the way of undivided attention to scholarship and opportunities for leadership in student affairs! The residence department offers an invaluable experience in group living to the girls who are fortunate enough to experience it. They have the benefit of training and supervision under the head of the residence department and housemothers chosen for their understanding of young people. In the Boarders’ Council, they learn the fundamental principles of effective self-government. The give and take of living together during these early years provides the soundest possible basis for happy family and community relations and good citizenship during future years. ... of Spiritual Guidance . . . Twice a week classes are given for the study and discussion of the Old and New estaments, Christian and Church History, and the possible influence of basic Kristian truths in working out the problems of everyday life. There are also in t c pper School discussion classes in the area of Christian Ethics.

THE SCHOOL AND THE PARENTS Since the Hall places great emphasis on high standards of conduct and behavior it asks the home to cooperate closely in these important matters. Before placing a student at the Hall, parents have, it is assumed, acquainted themselves with the aims, rules, and regulations and are willing to conform. Active parents’ associations in the three divisions of the Hall invite all parents to become members. Meetings are held regularly. Frequently speakers of reputation bring topics of special interest before these parents’ groups. Individual reports are sent out to parents four times a year in the upper and lower schools. It is hoped and expected that parents will keep in frequent touch with the school and with the individual teachers. The Director of the School and the Principals of the Lower School and Preschool will always welcome visits of parents. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Home Study Each Hall student is expected to make school his or her main interest, Monday through Friday at the close of tire school day. Attendance at movies, theatres, or parties should be discouraged on week nights. Parents are asked to cooperate by seeing that their children follow regular study schedules at home, uninterrupted S°"°r rfadl°: ^cause parents frequently inquire about a time schedule the faTthSTiy’ hr f0 l°rS SUmted schedule is g‘ven. with recognition of the fact that it applies to the needs of the average student: Lower School: - £* !

The school also asks that, in so far as is possible, all medical and dental work be taken care of during vacation periods or, if that is impossible, that appointments be made for Saturdays. Health Program Under the supervision of a resident nurse, a sound and rigorous health program is pursued. Careful daily inspection of the younger children is held. All students returning after any illness must report to the nurse before going to classes. These regulations serve to protect all the students. The nurse will make necessary appoint­ ments with physicians or dentists and will accompany resident students who are keeping such appointments.

Luncheon •; I ■ The Hall maintains two dining rooms, one for the younger children, and the larger one, in which Grades IV through VIII and the Upper School have their luncheon. Care is taken by our Dietitian to provide balanced, wholesome, and inviting meals. Upper School students are required to buy their luncheons at school. In the Lower School this is optional. A place is provided for those children who wish to bring their lunches from home. We do feel, however, that, whenever possible, it is better for growing children to have a noon meal in which one dish, at least, is hot. $ 50.00 per semester Luncheon rates are $100.00 for the school year 9 r :: : j ; | ; �Incidental Expense Accounts rr ^— - of dry cleaning, laundry, and other like expenses may be char Jd ^ “c* °f reS,dent studei'‘s, -ed by the parents.

Fee, payable to St. Helen’s Hall, is $62.50 per semester, for two-way transporta­ tion; $32.50 for one-way. For those using city transportation, there are convenient arrangements. The Mount Tabor bus, marked Hall Street, passes St. Helen’s Hall. It may be boarded on S. W. Morrison Street, anywhere below Eleventh Avenue. Special Reductions Children of clergymen and children of Army and Navy personnel, on active duty or on a retired basis, are given 10% reduction. Siblings also receive a 10% reduction in fees. These reductions are on tuition only and do not apply to board and room, or transportation. 10 ■*? i �Monthly Payment Plan Since some parents prefer to pay tuition and other fees*in nine equal monthly installments during the academic year, we are glad to offer this convenience through special arrangement with the Business Office. A three percent carrying charge is made for this service. Should this payment plan contract become delinquent, the School reserves the right to drop the student without further notice. The Tuition Refund Plan It should be understood that a student is entered for the entire academic ye ar or for such part of it as may remain after date of entrance. The fact that the fee is payable in two separate installments or in monthly payments does not constitute a contract for part of the school year only. i No deduction can be granted for absence or withdrawal of a student as a result of illness, accident, or any other cause. However, The Tuition Refund Plan, which gives parents an opportunity to protect themselves against loss of tuition* room, and boarding fees, when a student is absent or withdrawn on account of accident or illness, is available at low cost. A leaflet explaining this Plan is sent out with the first tuition bills in September. While the Plan is optional, we recommend it to the consideration of parents or guardians.
