Our voices we lift in your praise— Around your dear paths and ivied walls Cling the dreams of youth’s carefree days; And the claims of the years Will be blessed by your light Which has given us love and Godspeed To arm us in life with glory and might, And to give us the faith which we need. You will not be forgot When from you we must part; We’ll hold high the red and the blue; And in the dim future each prayer of our hearts Will go winging to heaven for you. Your chapel breathes peace in a world of strife; Your morning-light window is dear; Your candles are gleaming like stars in the dark, Untouched by the thick fogs of fear. Your blossoming trees In the first flush of Spring Kindle joy for the raptures of youth; And all your sweet gardens are fragrant with flowers As your classrooms are fragrant with truth. May God grant that we be What your wish would command, Your pillars so polished and strong; And in days yet to come we’ll think back to you And fashion vour memory in song! —C. G.

OREGON General Superintendence of Sisters of St. John Baptist 1942 : I 11 �m ■ : i M m [,i; 1 : :i •1 ! 1 * r I N Because the world outside our school, and outside every school in America, today, is a place of grim uncertainty and chaotic savagery, we dedicate our hook to a woman —a woman who occupies a very special place in the heart of every girl who has ever attended St. Helen’s Hall junior col­ lege. Behind every great school there is a beloved guiding light, and she is ours—a never ceasing spirit of kindliness, under­ standing, graciousness, and all inclusive friendliness. It would be almost impos­ sible to determine the number of instances in which her whole-hearted enthusiasm and interest have been the inspiration for tre­ mendous achievements and have even de­ termined the entire course of a Hall girl’s future life. One cannot be graduated from the junior college without, at some time or other, coming under the magnetic in­ fluence of her inexhaustablc, \ ital energy, her vigorous, but unassuming efficiency, her heart-warming sincerity, and her charming sense of humor that never de­ serts her. YVe arc proud to call such a woman the Dean of St. Helen’s Hall junior college. r 1 j ■ a. : j gt 8; : -• ' pi m. - if- ■ j. !■: “ v =- i l if Dedicated �;:= ■ t $! ■S .i, '■r%\ >1:1 • '.r-i I 1 ’ iff- - : •.I*».* * : ii ’ f ■ : 1 Si f IV: ‘ mm Oj t (11.: • l Gertrude Houk Far is s f I I t' i $1; i li ■ I H, ■ V* .!: ; i !!■ '5 ti’-M ★ i1 m i • ; •i i;V1 I: II s �* • ■ I I I I.

GERTRUDE HOI K FARISS, Dean ENA MARSTON, Registrar I To Our Graduates— Go forward with courage, you of the Class of 1942. And with your courage let there be intelligent perspec­ tive. The highroads of today are not sheltered, peaceful ways, marked by guideposts of tradition. Rather they wind through torturous and dangerous passes, and count­ less crossroads lead into strange, precarious regions. But do not be afraid. Those with courage, steadfastness, and faith will find the way. Upon the woman of today rest tremendous obligations to utilize her education for living, the priceless gift of a free country; to find a deep, spiritual conviction, emerg­ ing from America’s earliest insistence upon the right to worship God in freedom; to prove worthy of her heritage of liberty and democracy, fought for and won with the toil and lifeblood of Americans. Out of the struggles and triumphs of this past comes the challenge of our present. Go forward to meet the challenge, you who are leav­ ing us. Do not be afraid! ’ -1 A w1 •r >- „ I •i —Gkrtrudi-.

Does not that list of diverse all-school activ ­ ities remind you of the bi-monthly Thursday student body meetings where the prexv pleads for cooperation and appoints endless committees; where club presidents announce every organization event; where the date com­ mittee solicits potentially dateless girls; where the year­ book staff encourages the sale of the Scintilla; where the ad chief begs for more copy? Meetings arc not always so personal, however, foi every other Thursday the student body assemblies art devoted cither to speakers who discuss cultural or civic topics or to school organizations which present educational programs in keeping with their own activities. Among the outstanding guests this year were Sadie Orr Dunbar and Robert Tyler Davis. An athletic exhibition, a quiz program, motion pictures, panel discussions, and musical presentations have been presented by clubs at their annual assemblies. �1 ■v'l; M ■ “That our daughters may be as the polished stones of the temple. . . That ideal was expressed by the foun­ ders of St. Helen’s Hall when they laid the first corner­ stone more than eighty years ago, and that ideal has con­ tinued to live through eight decades of educational achievement. ’ ; ■ : U St. Helen’s Hall, the only accredited junior college cxclusivel) for young women in the state of Oregon, traces its origin to an institution organized to meet the needs of the daughters of the pioneers. The school was founded by the Episcopal church in 1861, and in 1932 the junior college was established to supplement the ele­ mentary and high schools. i j • , 1’ Since the institution has always had a tendency to enrich its curriculum progressively, the junior college in 1937 augmented its educational opportunities by affiliat­ ing with the School of Nursing of the Good Samaritan hospital. %\ • ..V To proceed “Onward, ever onward” is truly the aim of St. Helen’s Hall junior college in its educational pro­ gram and fulfillment of its ideals.

SOPHOMORE CLASS LEADERS The 1942 graduates have been active to the cnth degree in every junior college activity from scholastic achievement and superiority in science to invigorating athletic participation and wholesome social life. By ambitiously selling doughnuts and sponsoring a fortune-telling concession at the annual May Carnival, the girls worked together to assist the yearbook financially and to present a class gift to the school. Among the events so memorable to every graduate. Baccalaureate service is one of the most impressive. This year’s sermon was delivered by the Right Reverend Benjamin D. Dagwell at Trinity church on May 24. Preceding the spring dance, May 29, sophomores gathered for a formal dinner at the University club.

The ideal of service was especially evident during the I hanksgiving and Christmas holidays, when Angelas members presented food and gifts to needy families. Because of the many students who remain unrecognized for their activities, quiet loyalty to the Hall, and sincere friendliness toward everyone, Angelas introduced the girl uf-the-month award last year. My mo Povey, Shirley Casebeer, Betty Dcutsch, Dorothea 'Thomas, and Mary Anna Eckman were presented with awards this year. The tapping of new members took place during the 1 orchlight Procession and was followed by the impressive initiation in the college chapel in May.

The H club was organized within the Athletic association to further extracur­ ricular participation in sports. 1 hirtcen charter mcmbeis. Martha Bcndixcn, Bette Luplow, Betty Dcutsch, Pat Bone, Pat Duffy, Roberta Perkins, Kimi Tanida, Dorothea 1 homa>, Dorothy Johnson, Shircen Hall, Grace Powell, Barbara Ciawford, and Rosanne Weil, were initiated into the club in March. Each girl in order to qualify for membership had to complete ten hours of active participation in sports to earn one hundred points. Tennis, badminton, swimming, tumbling, and horse­ back riding were the acceptable sports. The H club assembly consisted of a demonstration by stu­ dents of the classes taught in the physical education department of the junior college and a comedy-tumbling exhibition by the instructors and advisers. Miss Tomme Nell Jackson and Mrs*. Charlotte Anderson. The May Carnival, held May 6, was under the direction of the H club, although each student organization in the junior college prepared and managed a concession. 1 he election of the May queen and court and the coronation ceremony and entertainment were two of the major responsibilities of the members. Dorothy Johnson was chairman of the nominating committee, with Myrno Povey, Verna Smith, and Elia Leibold assisting her. �MAY FETE COURT : • '•I - ! a.•i! i ri . i f' ' : <• Princesses Hetty, Dons, Pat, and Auc.cn Queen Dolores Gracious Queen Dolores 1 ; lovely Princesses Aileen, Betty, Doris, and Pat; and the comical jesters have won an unforgettable place in the hearts of loyal student and faculty subjects at the 1942 May fete. In 1935 the Athletic Association originated the May Carnival at St. Helen’s Hall junior college. There were booths and concessions sponsored by various school organizations, and a royal court elected from the sopho­ more class, to reign over the festivities. The laugh-pro­ voking jesters were selected from freshmen ranks. Each year the May fete has proved more popular, and this spring festivities reached a climax. Incorporating campus day and the party for high school girls with the carnival was a novel, welcome idea, since classes were dismissed. Students donned shorts to beautify the campus in the morning; then after pausing for lunch, they worked with renewed vigor to decorate club booths in the gymnasium. Prospective students arrived for a picnic supper pre­ ceding the coronation ceremonies and entertainment. When carnival activities ceased, tired, happy girls, still chatting about the royal entourage, were ready to retire after a successful May 6. �; ' ; 1 11 :■ : FOOTLIGHTS t 1 ' fs V: ■ i I .. i f: ;m Lights! Curtain! Action! And another season of dramatic enter­ tainment opened with the college players of St. Helen’s Hall junior college presenting a rollicking melodrama, She was Only a banners Daughter. To the munching of peanuts and the sipping of cider, served for proper dramatic effect in beer mugs, by the new, wide-eyed fresh­ men, dastardly Mulberry Foxhall, impersonated by the long-legged ___ Caroline Holloway, caressed “his” mustache and pursued the virtuous ■ Buttercup Spivens, played by flirtatious Yvonna Prather, across the stage, while the noble hero, Archibald Achilles Smithcrs, better known as Aileen Bradshaw, strode to the rescue. In October, Delta Psi Omega Stunt Nitc, entitled College Daze. brought such an enthusiastic response from its original audience that it was twice repeated. In the course of College Daze, a burlesque of university life and modern education, a timid freshman, played by Harriet Kowitt, wandered into a “typical” college, where she was lulled to sleep by an Academic Guide, pedanth portrayed by Aileen Brad­ shaw. A hilarious and awful nightmare of the various phases of college life followed, with cap-and-gowned professors. Mary Ellen Foland, 'l vonna Prather, and Caroline Holloway, loudly acclaiming the wondorr of their courses. Delta Psi Omega alumnae entered into the spirit of the production by portraying the alumnae group of the mythical college. In direct and vivid contrast to these wild comedy moods was the timeless element and spiritual appeal of The Women of Bethlehem, an inspiring and impressive Christmas play. Robed in vari-colorcd gar ments and soft, flowing veils, the actresses attempted to recreate with simplicity and dignity the age-old story o fthc birth of Christ. Notable in the performance was the lullabyc sung by unseen angel voices over the creche of the infant Jesus. The first major production of the year, the fifth annual experi­ mental night, was a dramatic adaptation of the letters of Elizabeth Barrett to Robert Browning. The play, entitled Elizabeth, was given, in accordance with the experimental nature of the evening, in an im­ pressionistic manner on a tw’o-level stage, with but a suggested set. The curtains were never drawn during the performance, the continuity being carried by Caroline Holloway, who, as Elizabeth Barrett, con­ nected the various scenes by her sensitive and moving rendition of Elizabeth’s letters. Yvonna Prather, as bombastic Henrietta, and Aileen Bradshaw, as dignified Arabel, Elizabeth’s two sisters, gave effectively dramatic performances in this tale of the great invalid poetess. Humor w as achieved by Nancy Hallock, in the role of the lisping Bella, Eliza­ beth’s cousin, and by Harriet Kowitt, in the role of Elizabeth’s Cock­ ney maid, Wilson. Brief scenes from various full-length plays completed the program. § b i I fi i’' I V fI j: If! Y i �1 : I mi ;■ m J ■ "111 v.

No Time For Comedy, revised by Carolyn Gordon Bowers, the dramatic season was brought to a successful close. i? ; • 3 r* 1 ‘ No Time For Comedy concerns the lives of three denizens of a world of sophistication, wit, and chaos. Yvonna Prather gave an ex­ cellent portrayal of Linda Esterbrook, famous actress who attempts to retrieve her husband, Gay, a successful playwright of comedy, from the clutches of an utterly feminine but insidious woman, Amanda Smith, who has convinced Gay that he is wasting himself by writing comedy* As a result, Gay. under the influence of Amanda, who loves to develop his latent possibilities, almost ruins himself and his career by writing a tragedy on immortality. Mary Ellen Foland as Amanda was convincing as the aesthetic se­ ductress. Dan Wessler as Gay and Dunny Smith as Philo Smith, Amanda’s intellectual husband, who falls in love with Linda, were effective additions to the play. The original cast of No Time For Comedy included only three women. To adapt Behrman’s play to include seven women, Miss Bow­ ers added five characters. Dolores Ashkar as Joy Esterbrook, Gay’s younger stage-minded sister; Caroline Holloway playing Phyllis Smith, an indifferent feminine replica of her father, Philo; Aileen Bradshaw in the role of Christine, loyal social secretary to Linda; Nancy Hallock as the bombastic producer and director, Margalo Thurman; Harriet Kow'itt portraying Meredith Lovell, the English social and political columnist; and Jcanna Gray and Eleanor Dodson as maids completed the cast. Technical staff for the spring play included Jeanna Gray, stage manager; Elia Leibold and Grace Powell, costume mistresses; Eleanor Dodson, property manager; Margaret Black, staff artist; June Page, business manager representing Delta Psi Omega and Understudy; Verna Smith, business manager representing the sophomore class; and Margaret Trouton, head usher. i ; .* - �S P O RTS “Service! Love-fifteen.” This has been one of the most frequently heard cries this year at St. Helen’s Hall junior college. Why? Because most of the students arc tennis enthusiasts. The girls, too many to mention all their names, have become highly proficient at the game. Every sunny day brings good-natured vying for use of the tennis courts, the losers going to the side-lines to form a critical gallery w hile waiting for their turns. The “ping ’ of a tennis racket when a ball hits it and the erv, “Ducce point,” will be long remembered by all the students. Many girls preferred fencing, the sport known for many centuries, “On guard”, “Thrust”, “Parry” were often heard commands. At the athletic association assem­ bly the fencing class gave an exhibition. Following in the steps of Robin Hood, others of the students turned to archery, finding keen enjoyment in scoring bulls’ eyes. The gracefulness and poise of the leaps and the other figures of interpretative dancing attracted still others. For some, nothing could equal the feel of a clean cut dive or of the strong pull of the crawl. Badminton, too, was very popular. A quick flick of the wrist often turned the tide of victory. Pat Duffy, freshman, won the championship game of the badminton tournament from Myrno Povey, sophomore, at the time of the Athletic Association assembly. Since the players were so well-matched, the spectators closely watched each stroke of the game. By sports placed happy, Ti i ! ■ [y • ! ! .. : 1 !

At this very moment, Marie supposed, Miss Lamarche was making another grand entrance at one of the numerous parties given in honor of the “star’ . “It isn’t ju't," Marie breathed. “Why couldn’t she have fallen ill—just once.’5 That feeling of complete desolation and helpless wretched­ ness crept over Marie once more. Again, she had missed the oppor­ tunity to prove her dramatic talent, because she was only an under­ study. Instead of the note of sparkling expectancy that was usually so charmingly apparent in her lovely face, her eves had a beaten look, and her face was devoid of emotion, filled with utter hopelessness. y t yy ! gi* I* As she sat before her cracked old mirror, amid the litter of articles that are to be found only in a crowded dressing room— brownish colored klcene.x, portions of costumes, and old shoes—and began to cream her face, the quietness of the empty theatre settled about her and pervaded the room. She wanted to break that dread­ ful .'til 1 ness with an ovcrpoweringly great dramatic part. She wanted to make her grand entrance on that empty stage and command an awe-stricken and adoring audience to rise to its feet in acclamation of her greatness. ig T i The finality with which she wiped her face reflected her deter­ mination that this experience would come to her. T he promise of “sometime”, itself, seemed to permeate the air about her with the distant clapping of hands. Yes! Sometime! By Mary Ellen* Foland.

MY ROAD There is a road 1 love. 1 can’t remember right now just where it is, but I know l have been there. > It was a dirt road, and the clay earth, I remember, was damp and cool beneath my feet. Oceans of green stretched away on either side of my road. Slender brown branches sought to strike my head as I passed under their gentle, graceful network. As I walked, 1 watched constantly for the frail lavender flowers that were scattered along the way. They were not growing close together, nor yet far apart, but they were spaced so that each new plant filled me with the ecstatic joy of discovery. A cool breeze washed my face and play­ fully tangled my hair as I walked, and the sky laughed—whether with me or at me I do not know, but I remember that it was happy, too. 1 don't think there were any birds there, but if there were, I didn’t hear them, because the music of my own rapturous heart obliterated all other sound. The road wound to the top of a high hill, turned, and dropped suddenly from my sight. All I could see was a vast, churning, pale green mist that opposed mv eager gaze. I can’t remember what’s beyond that turn—perhaps 1 never went beyond. But someday I’ll find myself on that road again; and when I do, I’ll be sure to re­ member where it leads so that I can tell you. Maybe I’ll even tell you where the road starts, so that you can go there, too. ;' : ■ •1 : ■ i V l V-1-: 1 By Grace Powell. THE BEAUTY OF SILENCE Listen . . . Here is the music of perfect silence . . . The silence of this moment just before the dusk settles over the great white mountain when the whole world is stilled . . . The death silence of the day lost on the tall white peaks fading into blue shadows of eternal night. By Yvonna Prather. • •): \ Tl ■ ' �TRY AND TRY <« i Good ole Janet’—that’s what the kids call me. But I can assure you that they really mean, ‘She’s a good gal, good for any­ thing any time’—in other words ‘an easy sucker.’ “It all started back in 1936 when skiing was inaugurated as the college group’s latest accomplishment. The Sunday Kenny and Johnny asked me to go with them was only too thrilling—you sec, Kenny and Johnny were the junior thrills of a freshman’s heart. Dad doubled my weekly allowance three times to buy the ultrasmart fleece-lined ski trousers; Eleanor loaned me her size eight ski boots (I wear only a five) ; and other friends donated sweaters— one a gray turtle-neck affair—caps and mittens. “At Government Camp my two male idols strapped the elongated rented skis (they were out of my size) on my ‘greased barges’ filled with four pairs of wool socks to hold my feet in—and there I stood, dressed for action, at the foot of a gentle incline. “The boys decided that 1 had better try something simple before they took me to the ski bowl. You know, ‘simple things for simple souls’! Advance one step, slide back two, advance one step, slide back three—I just couldn’t get up that hill. For the following hour I listened to ‘Walk on the sides of your skis! Dig your poles in! Lean forward! Try it sideways!’ And finally, ‘o. kM you stay here and practice, and we’ll pick you up in a couple of hours. If you get to the top of the hill, by any chance, turn around and coast.’ “Funny how boys never have any patience. But I stayed and tried and tried and tried—I made it once!—just as the boys came back, four hours later. I was going to pretend that I had skied down the hill numerous times while they were gone. I figure that one should try to hide his stupidities as much as possible. So I jabbed my poles into the snow and gave a push, just as I’d seen the movie actors do it. Yowee! I must have sailed through the air, traveling at least twenty miles an hour. Of course, I’d never thought of stopping until now, so back to the movies I went: jump sort of sideways on one edge of your ski. It would have been fine, had I only executed it properly—but I didn’t. In fact one foot went this way—, and the other foot went that way—. There I was, sitting on the snow in that ‘unsitablc’ position, screaming with pain. And all those awful males would do was to hand me a ski pole and laugh. “After the tears had rolled heavily enough down my cheeks, they picked me up, and Johnny carried me ‘piggv-back’ to the car. v ■? ' fa ■ ■ •:: nI ■ I �I I ■ 1 >1 : • ■ ■?■«!■ If ■ Ifc 1. “Oh, yes, it was two months before I quit limping on two sprained ankles, but 1 tried again against Dad’s, the doctor’s, and even- one elsc’s advice. And last year I came in tenth in the Junior Ski meet at Timberline—well, at least I placed.” By Shirley Casebeer. i / ij » THE NIGHT AFTER EXAMS - -A ■'1 ; I The whole dream was like a horrible but fascinating, surreaslistic dilemma. It was like being lost in a vast, deserted Fun House, in which all the complex mechanisms had gone completely berserk and were operating crazily. Each of ‘lie noisy concessions seemed to become uncanny, fearful human personalties. A huge barrel imprisoned me and kept me gleefully churning ’round and ’round in its polished crimson in­ terior. This mad whirling whipped my long black hair about my throat, and I struggled hysterically to prevent it from strangling me. Just as 1 had reached such an exhausted state that I could fight no longer, a weird, purple octopus arm thrust itself in and jerked me from the clutches of the monster, only to strap me down on the back of a fantastic mechanical grasshopper that whistled and grinned wickedly at my terrified stupefaction. He began to dance insaneli through a room completely furnished with ice-blue mirrors that gave my captor even more grotesque proportions than his own hidcousncss allowed him. A heavy, sickening scent of my favorite gardenia perfume sud­ denly pervaded the room. M\ mind was in such a dazed tumult of horror and agonv and confusion that my head seemed to snap otf and on again w ith each wild leap, and 1 wished with the fervor ol a doomed criminal that I were already dead. I closed my eyes to blot out the crazy leaping images that filled the room. A violent cessation of motion, a sudden rush of wind on my face forced my eves open again, and I realized that I was hurtling swiftly down an endless silver chute. As I gulped faster and faster for breath, a mammoth turquoise and scarlet butterfly with glassy gold eyes swooped down upon me, and I found myself soaring breathlessly through white clouds. Suddenly a second butterfly approached; and before 1 knew what had happened, it had blown me from my perilous seat, and l was falling helplessly into a dreadful doom.
