EMERSON 1 ■WLll/ll&bL&tlO-M, \ «• ; I: ! tli �I at: m : •» �I ■ S H HJC= C^fciietal / ujiet mtciuLeuce The Sisters of St. John the Baptist It gives one some satisfaction to review the progress which has come to our junior college in the three years since it was established as a separate department. Almost since the foundation of the Hall in 1869 there has been college work at the Hall. It is a long step from the scattered few of those days having their classes with the high school teachers in the high school building, to our present classes in our new building with teachers largely belonging to the college alone. It is even a long step from the first year when the college used the lower school building and part of the main building. Yet there was something very delightful about that first year and there were many fine memories to be cherished in the older order. Those girls, some of whom came for the two years only, just as the present junior college girls do, have been loyal alumnae of the Hall. It is our hope that this will always be true of the junior college graduates as well. Judging from the graduates of the first class, this wish will be fulfilled. However, one class, in the enthusiasm of being the first one, does without thinking what other classes may not do unless they form a definite plan, thinking out carefully the aims and ideals of true loyalty to an institution where certain truths have been stressed as basic in one s search for an education which will fit one for real life. St. Helen s Hall stands for a vital interest in things spiritual as well as an interest in things intellectual Spiritual values, which include the moral, are not to be confounded with a smooth piety which is all right to the eye until one looks beneath the surface. Spiritual success makes one truly humble yet truly great; it cannot be obtained at the expense of others’ good nor by any kind of camouflage of which the civilization of the past has been so fond. It is equally true that there can be no real success, material or intellectual, without a real appreciation of spiritual values both for the individual and for the race. Therefore to be a real St. Helen’s Hall girl or a real St. Helen’s Hall alumna implies a singleness and simplicity of purpose or ideal, born of looking sanely at all sides of our complex nature and choosing those things which have behind them rugged truth and honesty, fair dealing and breadth of view. Every Hall girl should think deeply about this. The aim of your college is to begin to prepare you for real life, not merely to send you on to another institution. How best can you prepare for this life? Is there any surer way than by honesty? Honesty in thinking, honesty in deed, whether one is found out or not,—but above all, honesty in knowing that there is no real life in this world, no real knowledge without a strong devotional faith in the reality of another world and in the God from whom all good—material, intellectual or spiritual—surely comes. —The Sisters of St. John the Baptist. five ; I; • 1= �=S H HJC Gertrude Houk Fariss Dean Esther Christensen Walker Registrar essacjc To those who are going forward: May your two years at St Helen’s Hall junior college have given direction to your living.

Particularly will those influences continue which the faculty members as individuals have exerted through the media of conference, class-room, and extra-curricular activities. Those hours of intercourse have directed to a major degree that mental growth and spiritual development which may have been ours here. Although we may become unconscious of their significance, all through our lives will occur events that will be evidences of the dynamic quality of the inspiration received from our Junior College professors These years of adolescence have been filled with a desperate struggle toward expression and adjustment. Personal contacts with instructors who have learned to give of their patience and of their precious understanding have been invaluable in making the necessary reconciliations. Assurance, generally speaking, is essential for youth, which can be sure of so pitifully few things. And these mature minds who have offered us the stability of Truth have partially relieved our burden of doubt and of antagonism. If these faculty members have revealed but one Truth,- if they have awakened i in us but a single joy in creative expression/ if they have seen our potentialities and have directed them wisely—then must they know that they have Taught and that we have Learned. That in itself is their triumph, their immortality manifest in St­ our lives. —M. C. R IS' ■ t!« B £ii >;/! |f ■ i i ei9ht �Those having torches will pass them on to others.

The student body, toward the end of the year, in recognition of the need for a student journalistic organ, voted to assume the responsibilities of the publica­ tion. Recommendations for position of editor were made by Dean Fariss, and the Student Council appointed Florence Skeels to the position. On return from Christmas vacation, a new sheet was ready for student body use. In the course of the term, foreign comments, exchange and library items, fashion and music notes, and interviews, as well as straight news stories, were added to its columns. The attempt to adhere to high journalistic ideals was not unrewarded, for on March 22nd, the college received notification that Beta Phi Gamma, in granting it a local chapter, approved its publications and accorded them national recognition. ei 3htecn �sHHJC= an unci OFFICERS Pat Kellogg..........

Members of the organization were journalism students who were Hall Tree reporters. Eager for broader horizons and contacts, the group petitioned for membership in Beta Phi Gamma, affiliated with Alpha Phi Gamma, sending copies of school publications, letters of recommendation, and club records. I City-wide recogni- tion followed the admission of the Alpha Oregon chapter. Monthly luncheons with prominent journalists as guest speakers were inaug­ urated. B. F. Irvine, Adelaide Lake, and Dean Collins were among those who addressed the club. The term project undertaken by the Xi chapter was the writing of a series of articles for a Portland paper on places of interest in Oregon. Cotton opening , which initiated the wearing of summer dresses, and a Japanese tea were two activities sponsored by the fraternity. nineteen ■ :r> �r 1 1 Back row Mayer, Thompson, Steels, Newell, Elton, Johnson Front row Leonard, Andersen, Picket, Burras Clui OFFICERS Nancy Pickel. .

The members were chosen for their desirability along the lines of contribution to the Junior College dramatics, initiative, cooperative attitude towards drama, and an average scholarship record. The carefully selected charter membership consisted finally of seven members of the graduating class and five undergraduates. At the first meeting, which was held informally at the home of one of the members, the officers for the term were elected and installed. At later meetings a constitution was drawn up, committees for projects were appointed, and inter­ esting informal discussions were conducted. Activities of the club included group attendance at worthwhile stage productions, monthly reviews of good theater publications, reports on worthy actors and actresses, presentation of play readings at open meetings of the club.

Prompter After several months of fascinating study in the arts of acting and producing, the students of drama under the direction of Mary Blaisdell Harris suddenly realized that they must practice the principles which they had been studying. The play production class, after a major conflict, chose to produce "Little Women' . On the 21st and 22nd of February, the play was presented in costume to large and appreciative audiences. Soon after this, the speech interpretation class selected four one-act plays for production, which were directed by members of the play production class under the supervision of Mrs. Harris. An enthusiastic audience received, May 11, "Elmer", a comedy by B. H. McNeil,- "Mansions", a tragedy by Hildegarde Flanner,- "Figureheads", a charming phantasy by M. Saunders,- and The Boor , a violent Russian farce by Anton Chekov. With these presentations the public appearances of the students came to an end, and regular class work was resumed. twenty-three ! �=S H HJC Chez Nous—Back row: Riopclle, Stearns, Coney, Steele, Hoover, Lavanturc Fourth row Wilbur.

Curie, organized in the spring of 1935 under the guidance of Dr. Alice Bahrs, science professor and research in­ vestigator, aims to further the qualities necessary for scientific thought and research, in other words, for progress. The colored slides from the University of Oregon on subjects of interest, accompanied by field trips, have been no end of fun, and we are looking forward to seeing several of our members participate in the American Association of Amateur Scientists. These girls have carried on s pecial research and made reports before the junior investigators at Corvallis early in May.

The association was formed for the purpose of creating a better organization of Junior College athletics and of promoting new ideas in their improvement. In the fall the organization was augmented by representatives from the fresh­ man class, who serve for two years. The athletic association sponsored a carnival held on the campus May 15. The purpose of the fete was to raise money for letters, medals, and any other awards for Junior College athletics. t w e n ty - s I x �Life’s too short for chess. H. J.

To a ready foot, and a steady hand, And the eye that’s quick and true." —James Knight Adkin - r Fencins in the Junior College is a major sport. From thirty-five to forty girls regularly turn out for the classes. On May 2, the sophomore team, composed of Lenore Lavanture, Helen Pewtherer, and Elizabeth Reeves, defeated the fresh­ man team of Mary Carol Zander, Lisbeth Dodson, and Jane Logan. Lenore Lavanture won the championship medal of the Junior College from Lisbet Dodson, second, and Helen Pewtherer, third. Besides this achievement she defeated a Reed college representative for the girls' fencing championship of ' I Oregon. On December 4, 1934, bouts and a drill by twenty fencing students were featured on the stage of the Oriental theater. The fact that several girls have won championships in the Amateur Fencers League of America has shown it to be a success. twenty - eight �SHHJC = lULUI “j Although last year volleyball was an uno rganized sport, this season a team was formed and played the high school. Much enthusiasm was shown toward this activity, and it promises to become an important addition to the sports calendar of the Junior College. Twice every week more than a dozen girls turned out faithfully. As a result of their interest and support a team was organized, consist­ ing of Dorothea Bargelt, captain,- Margaret Newell,- Isabelle Crown,- Charlotte Chambers,- Melba Riopelle,- Irene Cleland; Mary Janelle,- and Maxine Van Patten. JZutiUUj About a dozen girls rode every week at the Oswego Riding academy. Since the class was new ly formed this year, the girls have been unable to plan any meets. In addition to their regular Wednesday night classes, they have cross-country rides every month. This spring a group of sixteen riding enthusiasts formed a Riding club at the Junior College. They elected Jane Elton, president/ Norma Dinger, secretary,- Jean Anderson, treasurer. Florence Brent Thompson is the club advisor. ICtlJ While good weather was prevalent last fall, many girls came out for archery, Not even the advent of winter could discourage them, for as soon as the target was moved inside the gym, they continued to enjoy the sport About twenty girls in the Junior College participated regularly, among whom were Virginia Olsen, manager,- Kathleen Hoyt; Marge Leonard; Maybelle Clark; Doris Lee; Phyllis Payne,- Jean Parks,- Muriel Dyke,- Jean Nelson,- Ruth Heidtbrink; and Barbara Mayer. "7 • /- emus The outcome of last spring’s intramural tennis tournament was the victory of Helene Hockley, who, as school champion, received the tennis cup. M. C. Richards was runner-up with Harriet Hendricks and Dorothea Bargelt next in line. With the cup as a goal of achievement, the aspirants fought some keenly exciting \ games. Ever since good weather has begun, the tennis court has been in constant use. This sport is extremely popular at the Junior College when weather permits. Two hikes were sponsored last fall by the hiking division of the Junior College, One was under the leadership of the Mazamas, and the other was led by Mary Carol Zander, an experienced craftsgirL The hikers enjoyed completely the trips, which took them over the Oneonta Gorge trail and through Paradise Valley to the Mount Hood timber line. twenty-nine : �= S H H J C == RIDING CLUB VOLLEY BALL TEAM �• If you once understand an authors character,the comprehension of his writings becomes easy.

And in the garden two youths stood one day before Him who dreams all dreams, who knows all knowledge and all men, though none know him. In his voice was the soft rhythm of spring as he spoke to them saying, My children, you must travel from this, your home, to another land It is very far, and it is very near You shall take with you but one thing. So saying, he gave to each a tiny goblet formed in the shape of a heart, and in the goblet was the wine of life. Bearing the gifts, which were in all ways identical, the youths went forth proudly, and the morning made gold in their hair. The tides of the sea ebbed and flowed—the lovely songs that men call years were born and died Two men came to the gates of the garden, and the stars made silver in their hair. Each bore a goblet in his hands, and as they stood before Him who understands all sorrow, the first man stepped forward, saying, Master, I return that which you entrusted to me as beautiful as when it first was given. And he proffered the heart which still hard and shining and filled with wine, the heart which was still hard and shining and filled with wine. But the Dreamer s eyes were sad. The second man came forward then in silence, for the heart in his hands was worn and bent and empty, for the wine therein had been freely given to those who thirsted. Then the Dreamer smiled, and deep in the heart of Eternity a star was born. II.

NOCTURNE One day when we are old, When laughter is no longer part of life And tears are slow and cold, Some whisper of the wind— Some glancing star— May make to momentarily flame Through the quiet greyness that the years have built— This Present. This ever-shifting, non-existant, ever-constant time. (There is no time,- we do not die. It is a song whose rhythm changes.) The night we danced, with shining eyes and singing hearts-— And breakfasted at three— (Love lived in the wind that night!) The doughnuts in the afternoon—we Got the sugar even in our hair!— The running rough and tumble, laughing in the sun — The day you cried for joy that came to me— The swift tenderness— (Youth is so quick from the dust to the moon) The warm small things—the half-thoughts—wholly understood— (Oh, I wonder how you’ll look with silver hair, And where I’ll be—why,—I may not even know you then!) —Marian Johnson, ’36. stance What shall I leave to you when I must go? No more than dull remembrance of a face, And thoughts to paie against the keener glow One swift white hour brings in careless days? Rather I leave to you as heritage These hoarded loves I shall not know again— The tawny stars that beat the sky’s blue cage, Shaking the heart’s still longing into pain,The silver madness of an autumn night, The mirth of trees, the peace of hills, the storm Of splintered flame that frames their evening night, All these I leave. Ah, but I’ll rob you, too, Of my best gift in life—my need of you! —Katherine Coney, '35. th i rty-two �SHH JC — s ■ ciivat. Is ' cX Aimless I wandered, tracing the roughness of milky skies that clouds had curdled; Reckless I brewed in meditation ’midst withered hours and slipper-prints blown sand had twisted— A million miles, a million years I strolled in thought, And from that intimate reflection I resurrect a vestige, pulsing: What have I to do with vacant rooms that shriek with emptiness,With callous walls that echo the dusty waves of faded breaths? What to me are teeming nights and violet sleeves that wheedle color from the wind? These temples pounding in hot hands—These memories that, dried, now cleave and let pour tears that streak and chafe.— The Answer whose they are! grey oppressing me, the blue wherein I sink, this brown despondency—are they my doom? Then ceased this mounting query—as, treacherous, my kneeling eyes begged back a soul from the Demon Beauty who there had tortured me. —M. C. Richards, ’35. In dreams I lay my lips within your palm And, slipping down, kneel close beside— I paint in tender murmur all the tones Of sober, surging love I feel. How sad to wake and find no paleness there Of hand or throat! The gold that lined grey feathers in the sky Has disappeared; The wind that brought the night fling stars Like pollen,And high above my weary arms, leaves dye Their blockprints,But I—bury my head in shadows that sag And cry out our separation. III. The arm of gulls stretched pale across the inlet Rises as my loneliness. —M. C. Richards, ’35. thirty-three �= S H H JC b) token You say your heart is broken?

C. R. thirty-lour �iSHHJCn c=—l c ^ (peyc&tu We are, so it seems, living in one of the history-making eras of all time. Every­ thing is happening that could happen. Breath-taking events are popping, popping, continually. It is a world of pathos and humor,- it is a world of terror and hate. It is a world of joy for editors and of sorrow for economists. It is a bowl of popcorn. We have the fading depression with its many kernels that popped tragically. oh, so In a tall building in the heart of Portlands banking district there is a little old German woman who does the cleaning for the metropolitan skyscraper, Two or three years ago a bank crashed, and one more penniless aged was added to the panic's already immense list of casualties. This little old woman told me that rheumatism bothered her continually—but one must live. I have often wondered what terrible fascination this life on earth must have to produce its tenacious hold on men and women long after any joy of living has passed. We have Huey Long and General Johnson, Adolph Hitler and The Man Bilbo. We have Stalin and Mussolini, Japan and Germany, Chinese noodles and hamburgers. Then there is Dr. Townsend wiith his plan and Upton Sinclair with his. Juggle them all up in a hat and take your pick. One of them may pop. An intriguing popcorn is the farce that is being staged at our august capitol by Huey (The Kingfish) Long. Perhaps it is typical of the whirlwind thirties that such a man as the senior senator from Louisiana may rant and roar with such supreme impudence that upon hearing of his decision to be a candidate for relection, Floor-leader Robinson could sincerely groan, God save the Senate! And America, too, one is tempted to add A man stands at the street corner with the red light against him. He is im­ patient, almost halfway across the street before the signal flashes green. Such is the spirit of the age, straining at the leash, wanting to hurry on and on—faster and faster—reaching such a high tension of living that the over-burdened life ultimately cracks. And on it goes. The world today keeps popping and popping—until lo—we have a bowl of popcorn. Fragile, worthless, with taste but without body. Tem­ porary at its best—and at its worst? thirty-five —Ellen Smith, ‘37. �= S H H JC ~JLliLuu,l/VL She sat across the aisle from me in the theatre in Detroit. Her grooming was faultless, and the poised beauty of her head rose above the quiet splendor of her gown, throwing it into secondary interest. Her shining blond hair, gold as the Valkyrie’s, was coiled in a long knot at the nape of her neck, emphasizing the beauty of her throat. Gleaming, satiny shoulders rested against the green brocade of her evening wrap—green brocade that matched her long, green eyes, thickly lashed. Her skin was perfection—white and translucent—seemingly innocent of cosmetics. Her mouth alone was colored—stained a vivid, aching orange. I could hear her voice when she spoke to her handsome escort. It was low and vibrant—well-bred to a degree. To my glamour-blinded eyes she seemed the epitome of gracious sophistication Fascinated, I rudely watched her every movement and strained my excited adolescent ears to catch a fragment of her conversation. When the curtain rose upon the first act of the play I partially forgot my idol. What else could I do? One of the world’s greatest actresses was giving her interpretation of "Romeo and Juliet", one of the immortal love stories of the world. I was fascinated by the pathos and beauty of the play, but between acts I had ample opportunity to scrutinize my neighbor. She was dazzling and yet not too dazzling—beautiful, but with such a calm beauty that it was soothing merely to look at her. Nothing that she did contradicted her appearance. She was quiet, gracious, and attractive. I imagined her in her home—of course it must be large! It must be gracious and beautiful like herself. I could see her as a tactful hostess for large dinner parties. There was nothing about her to spoil my picture of her. Came the final act of the tragedy—and disillusion. The poignant death scene of the lovers, brought into aching reality by the genius of the actors, held the entire audience spellbound and silent. As young as I was, my eyes were glued on the stage, and the tears welled out of my eyes and ran slowly down my face and thence down the front of my ruffled "party-dress’ . Suddenly a silly giggle broke the silence and the spell. Shocked and unbe lieving, I gazed across the aisle, where sat the beautiful lady, her handkerchief pressed against her mouth, giggling irrepressibly at som ething that her escort had just whispered in her ear. Everyone in our vicinity was disturbed and irritated, but there she sat, laughing in idiotic glee at something—something I never cared to know! Somehow it spoiled my evening. I looked at her only once again before we left. She had taken her handkerchief away from her mouth it was —Phyllis Hall, 36. smeared and stained with orange lipstick. thirty-six �S H H J C “ CL "That our daughters may be as the polished corners of the temple."—Psalm 144:12. Every day upon entering the college, we saw this inscription on the corner­ stone. As we knelt during the chapel services and strove to communicate in prayer and hymn with the eternal, the beauty of the expression and the truth of the thought reminded us again of that ideal toward which we were growing. The chapel itself, with the color-stained light shining through the windows behind the altar, with the sonorous tones of the organ, and with the familiar service, has been our temple. Il has become a part of our life-pattern—a part, moments of which lend occasional splendor to days that have threatened to become monotonous and mechanical. The chaplain revealed to us the immortal quality of Christ’s message and led us r finally to chat peace of God which passeth all understanding.’ The final amen climaxed the service and rose to fill the chapel with the eager hope of youth. It is the pleasure of the student body here to acknowledge the presentation of a fount by Charlotte Lee of the high school to our Junior College chapel. The three arched windows, depicting stories from the Gospels, were dedicated to Mary Benton Rodney, the first principal of St. Helen’s Hall. The Nativity of our Lord is appropriate to the lower school/ the Christ in the Temple, to the high school,- and the Transfiguration, to the Junior College. These expressions of a generous and radianl spirit lent additional inspiration to our college chapel hours. i thirty- seven �=SHHJC: /, 1934 to lane J, 1933 Dear Diary: Sept, 1.

You should have a background of knowl­ edge to make the most of specialized business training in the business world. Business has become the greatest of all the vocations and Secretarial work is the ideal vocation for the young woman. Preparation for a secretarial position requires a comparatively short time. Secretarial work enables a young woman to get a foothold in the busi­ ness world, to earn a good income, and to advance to a position of trust and responsibility. To secure this specialized training, Behnke-Walker College has proved to be the ideal place. Its training is based upon the actual requirements of business. Because the training is completed in a limited time the cost of attending is inexpensive. Behnke-Walker College maintains an active Employment Department, which gives assistance to its graduates in securing high grade positions. James A. Garfield said that the most valuable gift that can be bestowed upon women is something to do which they can do well and worthily, and thereby maintain themselves. f o rty- on e �i : ICiMt ■ i I ^Photographs Live Forever f 917 S.W.
