Our guiding spirit has exemplified by years of service the noble character and stability of a true woman. We, the Class of 1961, humbly dedicate our souls to further nourishment and our Delphic to our beloved Carolyn Collett. �I f " What is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?’ DIANE JEAN TERJESON Our memories of you, Diane, are an ever­ present part of our lives. Your giving of yourself with no thought of virtue in such giving, your vision that awakened in us the dreams of timeless youth have become a part of all that we are, and through us, will become a part of those who come after us, as season follows season in the lifetime of St. Helen’s Hall. It has ever been held true 6 that love "knows not its own depth until the hour of separation;” but for us, there is no separation that the soul cannot span. You are in our laughter, our studies, our chapel hours, our relaxation, our aspira­ tions. You walk among us as a fragrance sensed but not seen, adding its essence to the spirit that is truly at the heart of our school. �t \ < \ "A lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” �! 5 : »■ Our faculty is the very heart-beat of our school. They throw a light across our ascending path. With tireless energy they educate our minds and feed our souls, equipping us with self-assurance, intellectual curi­ osity, and awareness. Their very spirit endows us with a strong sense of responsibility, self-discipline and moral strength. As students under them, we have been given a candle to light the pathway of our future. May we, in turn, light that candle for those who follow. 8 �iniA tra tion BOARD OF TRUSTEES President: The Righ Reverend James W. F. Carman Vice Chairman: The Reverend Louis B.

Greenfield Miss Rita Shields Mrs. Louise James Mrs. Douglas Elliott The Rt. Rev. James W. F. Carman For ninety-two years St. Helen’s Hall has been engaged in educating girls. Over these years a constant parade of young women have marched from its hallowed halls into the life of every corner of this nation and into many parts of the world. In my short time as Epis­ copal Bishop of Oregon I have found former St. Helen’s Hall girls who have taken their places as wives, mothers, teachers, writers, leaders in the communities in which our Church ministers. Their Christian character and convictions and their ideals have strengthened the communities wherever they are found. As the publication of the 1961 Delphic takes place, St. Helen’s Hall faces new horizons. The State of Oregon plans to run a modern highway through our present geographical position. We hope to build elsewhere. New land has even now been acquired. Tlie members of the Class of 1961 do not need to be convinced that new buildings are essential, but a building is not an education, nor is a Church Edifice the Christian Faith. The new buildings will lack the ability to stimulate many valuable memories which will be yours. I pray that our people will see in you and all St. Helen’s graduates living reasons to invest in the Hall’s continuance. The Christian education, which is your possession and heritage, is an ingredient which today’s social order can ill do without. May the Lord always be with you as you continue your education and your life in the Faith. 9 �GERTRUDE HOUK FARISS University of Oregon BA., CorneU University M.A. "She does not bid you enter the house of her wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.” Director ! TO THE CLASS OF 1961 . . . You, who have chosen the Hall Intangibles as the theme of your Delphic, must surely have understanding and love of those Intangibles. You must have deep realization of the truth that the Intangibles of this life are the Tangibles of Life Everlasting. Now we see, as through a glass darkly, the elusive shadow of all that is the reality of existence. May inspiration light the candle which guides your footsteps over the mounting pathway of steady growth toward new horizons; may vision lift your eyes to the highest and finest in life; may action open the doors to accomplishment and fulfillment; may achievement crown your dedicated efforts to make honest use of your hidden resources—the gifts which have been entrusted to you for nourishment; may gratitude flood your hearts with a true understanding of the standards, purposes, and ideals of St. Helen's Hall. : i Each of you is given the grave responsibility and the rare privilege of translating intangible values into the daily strength and courage and integrity which life demands of those who would give generously and and receive richly. For you, I would add this challenge: As each day passes, interpret in thought and action concept of the Hall Intangibles, so that these may indeed become tangible through your living 'V ji; 10 Gertrude Houk Fariss. �in id tra tion EVELYN STRAHAN Oregon State College B.A. "An air divine through which the mind’s all-gentle graces shine! ” Director of the Residence Department CAROLYN B.

Our day-to-day activities are carried on within walls which encompass an atmosphere rich in Beauty and Tradi­ tion — the Beauty of learning and newly awakened hunger for knowledge that leads to Vision; the Tradition of almost a century on which to rely, by which to measure our achieve­ ment, toward which to reach as a lasting goal. We experience spiritual growth within our Chapel, where the light from the candles that burn within the very heart of the Hall — candles of companionship and love, worship and devotion — enters into the heart of every girl. This light guides us through each day of the present and will re­ main with us through each day of the future. Last but surely not least, we are stimulated through our academic growth, which gives to our minds constant chal­ lenge, always tempered by beauty, tradition, and spiritual awareness. Our constant endeavor is to understand and work toward the goals set before us at St. Helen’s Hall, so that we may indeed come to reflect truly all of those Hall In­ tangibles symbolized in the words, "that our daughters may be as polished corners of the temple”. i i 16 �I £cenei w* n , A ' b, ■ >w - : ><**iy*...4 ...' ,.>'\>tr * '.■*£'* \ h* fpapi > spp' V"V - • .. • • 17 �Scadding !

Through participation in sports we meet new friends and learn to put into play the social amenities which we have learned through our participation in such events as dances, teas, and dinners. We learn to engage in conversation with people we have just met, to become inter­ ested listeners and interesting speakers. Through participation in our organizations and clubs we learn leadership and par­ liamentary procedure, and we put to use the rules of etiquette and sportsmanship which we hope to carry with us always. Participation rounds out our lives, teaches us concern for others as a part of social adjustment, and makes us aware of our responsibilities as social beings. Participation is a part of the physical fiber of St. Helen’s Hall. 26 �Our student body is divided into two teams, the Clicks and the Roguettes. The teams compete in various games during the year, and the one with the most points at the end of the academic year is awarded a cup.

We decided to bring gifts to be distributed to unfortunate children through the Red Cross, thus in turn creating a true Christmas spirit among our­ selves. "Silver Shadows” was the theme of our Christmas Dance. The Senior Class did all of the decorating and carried out the theme with silver snowflakes drifting from the ceiling and a beautiful pendant center-piece. The Christmas Play, "How Beautiful Upon the Mountains,” was an inspiring performance, written and directed by Carolyn Collett. The choir and speech groups carried the narra­ tive, linking scenes of the three-act play. 29 �Sather-Sbau^hter Sweetheart thinner sponsored by our mothers.

None the less, the class emerged a unified whole, unusually reflective of kindness, consideration and regard for others. In spite of many activities, a Senior dinner for the Freshmen, work on "Delphic” much conferring and taking of examinations for college entrance, the glamorous May Court, the exciting "Senior Sneak,” the class came through with confidence and poise, and an ability to put first things first. Perhaps no previous senior class has been as fully aware that idealism must be made tangible through service. Idealism and. Service . . . The Fourth Pillar 51 �TRINITY CHURCH, filled with all the wonder of commencement — as we approach its mighty altar may our hearts be fulfilled in Christ, and may our lives show forth our fulfillment! BEHOLD US, GRACIOUS SAVIOR. 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. 52 Those gathered here together Will soon be far apart, But in Thy love and service Unite us heart to heart, And keep us pure and loyal Where e’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! i K �"A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues,” 53 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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.
