We, the Senior class of nineteen hundred and fifty-five, dedicate this
Delphic to the joint efforts of our principal, Mrs. Gertrude Houk Fariss,
and our Board of Trustees. Faced with the critical problems in main­
taining St. Helen’s Hall, this loyal group has conquered almost insur­
mountable obstacles. With great admiration and appreciation we look
upon the selfless qualities of these men and women who have made our
senior year the most gratifying of our school career.

MARIE LOUISE FISK

(

Madame Fisk, much respected, much admired, and much loved during the four

r

years she devoted to St. Helen’s Hall, has left us with an acute awareness of the fine­
ness of her subtle qualities. The memories of her years here arc most pleasant, for
she gave not only of her knowledge, but also of herself.

Behold us, gracious Savior,
In 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.

Those gathered here together
Will soon be far apart.
But in Thy love and service
Unite us heart to heart,
And keep up pure and loyal
Where’er our lot may be,
True daughters of St. Helen's
And true our God to Thee.

So when Thou comest in glory
To gather in Thine own.
And we shall stand for judgment
Before Thy great White Throne.
Then place us at Thy right Hand
And hearken to our prayer,
Of all St. Helen’s daughters
Let none be missing there!

The clown will soon close the final curtain on this year's production, but he will not forget the
performance of which he has been a part. It is with sincere best wishes that we of the staff present
to you the drama which you have helped to create. We hope that we have done justice to the part
each one of you has played, and that you will be proud of the 1955 Delphic.

              <text>This is an OES yearbook from 1955. 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.</text>
