When we first begin to comprehend this living world around us, we are awed by the expanse of everything that seems worthwhile. Then as our gaze focuses and penetrates to the heart of things, we » find that the infinite is manifested in finite realities. Looming peaks are formed by fragile, lace-like snowflakes; the symphony is a tapestry of countless intricate harmonies. And so it is with personal greatness. The one who symbo­ lizes to us at the Hall the element of dis­ i covery. has shown within her tiny physi­ cal being a magnitude of character, evi­ denced in her thoughtful, subtle favors to students and faculty alike. She has granted us generous glimpses into a mind zealous for knowledge and a heart as careless of itself as it is careful of others. We, the class of 1962, fondly dedicate our Delphic to Madame Irene Wolfson. I i i Pag* 3 �s 5 i Table of Contents i A a 2 s 3 p.

Because the new warm air makes us feel gay and appreciative, and because the lawn is the best place from which to view the building, we usually find ourselves admitting that after all, that crumbling red brick and healthy ivy make quite a handsome building of St. Helen’s Hall. It is not the dignified Flemish architecture, however, that makes us fond of the old school; it is the fact that it is a living building. Through years and years of being lived in. every square foot, both inside and out, has acquired the character of those who have dwelled within. The plaque on the front door, the dusty piles of former girls’ belongings in the Senior House attic, the backstage of Scadding, and above all. the rows of previous class pictures hung all along the upper Morris lot of humanity has suffered, smiled, and Hall—all these are reminders that survived at St. Helen s Hall. �m m E IS ' % P 53 6 Sr i13 ES & mem P r~* r? ; .! §5 fe «=! !

After some floundering around, they adapt themselves and begin to discover new worlds of friendship, knowledge, and un derstanding. Their discovery could have gone on anywhere—and it would have been different in each place. But since they came to St. Helen’s Hall, their explorations have taken on a special flavor—and it is this flavor that we have set about to capture.

Their originality was reflected in the theme of the Red Letter Dance, Oldies but Goodies ”, preceded by an ambitious money-raising week. Despite heated and prolonged arguments over the theme of the Junior-Senior Prom, "St. Brendan s Isle’ was finally selected. and paved the way for clever and enchanting decorations. The overall coordi­ nation of the class was shown to its best advantage in the formation of the Modem Dance and "A-D" clubs.

In those years the Seniors are looked up to as wonderful creatures of talent, independence, and leadership. On arriving at this golden year of privileges, the new senior can’t help but be impressed with all the opportunities to help the school with her own special gifts. She knows that she can have more fun than ever before but also that she must exercise more responsibility: Since she is treated almost like an adult, she has to challenge herself to live up to her full capacity. The class of 62 always has been a very active one, and very loyal. Perhaps this is because many of its members—a dozen to be exact—started as freshmen at the Hall. Within a month they had established a reputation for vivacity and poise. They held more than their quota of sales, charmed the Seniors into holding the first annual Senior-Freshman Dinner, and designed the bids for all Student Body dances—something freshman classes never had done before! In the sophomore year the class grew from the smallest to the largest in the school. Many classes, such as biology, had to be divided to accommodate them all. It also became one of the richest, and took great pride in contributing the largest sum to the United Fund, or in offering to lend the Juniors money. Besides sales and the inevitable dance bids, projects included Forget-Me-Not, an informal dance in Feb­ ruary. Nevertheless, in spite of (or perhaps because of) their riches, they suffered from a Sophomore Slump of inerita and didn’t regain vitality until promoted to Upperclassmanship. Then they were forced into action: Junior Red Letter Week came first thing in the fall. The mixer at the end of that week was a minor disaster—no one mixed!—but the class profitted from its mistake and was able to tell others all the Do's and Don’t’s of such an affair. The rest of the year they spent designing more bids, raising money, and planning the Junior-Senior Prom, Roman Nocturne. Work piled up so fast near the end of the year that, before they realized it, they were campaigning for the offices they would hold as Seniors. Faculty and students alike made dire predictions about the class’s ability to cooperate, but some­ how the Senior year pulled the members together. Perhaps each girl had become more keenly aware of her obligation to help the Senior Class set a good example. Perhaps the retreat spent at the Rey­ nolds’ house in September inspired in the girls a unity of purpose. At any rate, the class turned out almost more capable leaders and hard workers than it could use. Weekly class meetings were always necessary to plan candy sales, Christmas dance decorations, the Dutch Auction, Senior-Freshman Din­ ner, talent show, and Senior Skip Day. And while all this was going on, the girls still managed to devote plenty of time to schoolwork and college planning, for many of them set their hopes on hard-toget-into colleges. Add the time many of the girls spent working on Delphic or dramatic productions and the energy they used up skiing. Twisting, or just relaxing, and the list of the class’s accomplish­ ments is formidable. These accomplishments have carried the class far, but they can’t be the conclusion, for that isn’t written yet. As each girls leaves the Hall, she will take with her, besides wonderful friendships and memories, a realization that she has but started to climb. Whatever discoveries come in the future are now up to her alone. Pag* 17 �Katherine Randlett Walster Pendleton, Oregon 5* : President Ev T!

But although her enthusiasm makes her an eager classroom arguer and her hard work wins her good grades, it is her imagination that enables her to give realistically believable dramatic perlormances. turn out fabulous acting notebooks, and toss off reams ol poetry. Cheryl Kaye Halvorson Lake Oswego. Oregon Cheryl has contributed her eagerness and enthusiasm to school lile ever since her arrival as a junior. She is a very conscientious student who turns in papers as neat and well-ordered as her f appearance.

Never will she willingly step into the limelight. The only time she does become vehement is when expressing her ardent Democratic convictions. Darlene Louise Hawkins Portland, Oregon In her four years at St. Helen’s Hall, Darlene has been consistently gracious and dependable. Many girls have come to rely on her friendliness and quick smile. Her hard work has brought her high grades and an important role in such organizations as the Library Club and Junior Red Cross (She’s been President for two years). In any group — Helenas, Student Council, or class meeting — Darlene has always rema ined the stubbornly practical one. and she usu ally turns out to be right. Carolyn Allen Jackson Portland, Oregon No one in the senior class is more anxious to do her best than Carolyn. She will go far out of her way to get a job done or a homework assignment in. For this reason, she is a valuable member of the Library Club, Delphic., and Altar Guild, of which she was elected Secretary. Everyone likes her for her kindness and consideration. If she is timid, she knows how to laugh about it; Carolyn’s never-failing sense of humor is one of her greatest charms. Pag* 21 �Merrily Pittman Lake Oswego, Oregon ■ : 3 With her light touch.

In both class activities and organizations she has worked hard; this year she’s President of her much-loved Helenas. Anything Diane undertakes is carried through effectively. Janice Lynn Parker Newport, Oregon For someone with a problem, Janice offers a co mforting shoulder to cry on. Because of her gentle, easygoing good humor, she gets along with everyone.

She dances, too — beautifully — and is good at athletics: she has won several prizes for her horsemanship and riding skill. Always having been a good stu­ dent, particularly at math, it seemed natural that Barb should be elected Class Treasurer each year until, as a senior, she became Student Body Treasurer. To add to her activities, she represents the Hall on two fashion councils, at Meier and Frank s and at John Robert Powers. 1 Her enviable slenderness, stylish clothes, and never-failing poise show that she is receiving the training ; necessary to achieve her ambition — becoming a top name in the : world of fashion.

By the time Open House arrives, and the halls are crowded with guests, the school seems gayer than it does at almost any other time. Following close on the heels of Open House this year was the “opus major" of the acting class . a dramatization of Mrs. Gaskell’s Life of Charlotte Bronte.

These are the wings that lift one out of the pedestrian and commonplace and into the boundless expanse of a limitless universe. Each moment holds its own breathtaking discovery for those with the urge to seek, the strength to rise, and the veaming to find. For such, there is endless youth, unlimited zest, and ever-renewed fulfillment. My heartfelt wish for this Class of 1962 is that each of you may know the thrilling experience of unceasing and unending discovery — discovery of your minds and the glory of knowledge; discovery of others and the richness that lies somewhere within each of your fellows; discovery of yourselves and your highest capacities; discovery of God and His loving care for each of you. May each dawning day bring to you new vision; may each night sky be lightened for you by a new star; may God be with you always to guide you in your search and to be close to you in your fulfillment.

Our weekly assemblies have been unusually varied, =■ with many of them given by students. The two formal dances were all out affairs as a result of the Council’s enthusiastic efforts. Throughout the year the Council has emphasized school spirit and friendliness, two qualities which have taken form in such different shapes as the hilarious initiation rites and the sometimes sedate afternoon teas. “Girl of the Month,” another Student Council project, is on its way to attaining the rank of tradition. The long-term project of beginning an honor system has provoked much serious thinking in the minds of all the students. Whether its realization comes about or not, future Councils can look back to this one as succeeding to a special degree in firing up student interest in school affairs. 5-1 ii -_ - 'll :: 1 =3 I' :i !: ■ ' . .

Each year presents a challenge to the Delphic staff to look at the school in an entirely new light. This year we have striven to create a yearbook of beauty and significance which will not forget to include those small but important customs that are remembered after the formal events have become hazy in our minds. The staff was impressed with the feeling that our high school years are a time of glorious discovery, that we are just beginning to "try our wings’ and measure our mark upon the world. For this reason we have chosen the theme "Discovery”. Delphic staff: FRONT ROW: Janis Hill. Robin Hail, Mary Hafner. Ellen Wheeler, Kathy Gobar, Joanne Dobson. Sue Crosby, Roberta Rogers.

This year, however, the award is made in duplicate to two outstanding seniors; and one runner-up has been named. The Dagwell Cup, presented by Bishop Dagwell during the Helenas Chapel, is awarded to the upper class girl, chosen by students, faculty, and administration, who best exemplifies the qualities of high Christian character.

There they robe themselves in white, and march down the aisle with red roses in their arms.

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.
