JP 5 �I = = - . i Dedication ■ ! ■ - To the Sisters of the Community of St. John Baptist—through whom we have touched that serene beauty gained in living for serv­ ice to others; in whom we have seen life so nobly patterned that our own small shadows deepen with strength; from whom we face the trial of parting, knowing these years to be ours forever—do we dedicate this Scintilla of 1944, to acknowledge our her­ itage, sprung from an Almighty Godhead. �= r ;.-v-v f iv i ?■! k - !I Theme Within the tall, slender alabaster vessel of the soul, curves of deepest, palest blue, forms a tiny flame, silver-tipped above a glowing heart. At first the flame burns low, and deeper than shad­ ows is the dark, fathomless blue; the flame reaches higher, and in the spreading light, the harmony of curving grace becomes trans­ lucent tones of vibrant blue, merging, dissolving, reforming in the silver glow, diffused through the alabaster veil. And now the flame bursts beyond the clinging shadow of palest blue, enveloping the slender form in its intense blue fire, a crucible that consumes this alabaster of the soul; and flame and form are one, a spirit con­ secrated to the silver heart of Beauty. . . . :9 I ■ : j 1 This volume is the reflection of our flame of Beauty, still caught in the merging, dissolving patterns of silver and blue. We have guarded our flame, nurtured it with the richest oils gathered in these two moments of college; we have watched it grow from a passive depth of blue to a leaping, eager light, tipped with silver. Now the flame seeks to transcend the alabaster. In these first Bickerings of blue and silver shall be discerned, as through a veil, the full flame that guides us in the search for the Beauty we know is ours. 1 : a* J vv-:- •I um �I i ! - REVEREND THOMAS M. BAXTER It is the hope of your chaplain that one of the most enduring possessions gained from your two years at St. Helen's Hall will be a conception of the beauty of holiness. The day is past, thank God, when ugliness was considered a virtue. Christianity is, and always should be, a thing of beauty. Its founder showed us, as no one else ever has, the true beauty of human life. He taught us the beauty of the lilies of the field and the beauty of God's deal­ ing with man. His Church has tried to follow His example. Her historians wrote and de­ livered to us, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the most beautiful of all stories—a story which has moved the hearts of men as none other. Her members have produced or inspired the most beautiful in art, architecture, and music. Her worship is consistently beautiful. It is my prayer that those who go forth from this place will carry with them such a mem­ ory of the beauty of holiness that they will seek it wherever they go. �■SSI ;. jSwf Each hour ... A moment ol eternity To b© held or lost; Hold it in beauty. And each hour is yours . • • > Eternally. ��GERTRUDE HOUK FARISS To The Class of 1944 Years ago as she wandered through the Land of the Children, the little girl came upon a garden in which grew the pure white blooms of the Flower of Beauty. Their radiance passed into her soul, and their fragrance filled her being; so that, when the time came for her to depart from the Land of the Children in order to search for the Earth-land, she wept because she must leave the garden. But like all of the other children who were to visit the Earth-land, she was given one seed from the garden to bear with her. . . . After the little girl had come to Earth-land but while she was still a child in mortal years, she buried the seed in the warmth of the earth. Each day she watched over it, putting into the soil year cfter year the most careful and faithful work of which she was capable. When at the coming of each spring no bloom appeared, she enriched the soil with her gradually increasing patience; she learned all that she could of the care of this rare seed and cultivated the earth with the tools of her growing wisdom and understanding; she gave up many childish pleasures in order to care for her precious possession and so watered it with the dew of self-sacrifice. And when the bloom still did not appear, she turned her eyes upward and prayed that she might see Beauty. . . . And then one day the flower bloomed, and the little girl passed from childhood as she watched in ecstacy. But as suddenly as it bloomed, the flower faded. She who had nurtured it wept for what she had lost. She grieved until her sorrow was finally lost in sleep. But as she slept, a miracle occurred, and the young girl became lost in the woman. In the heart of the woman there lay hidden the white blossoms of Beauty. ... In the freshness of the early morning the woman awoke and smiled quietly in her joy. For the flower that she loved bloomed now in the place that she had prepared for it. She knew that there would never again come the moment of fading for the immortal flower. It was safe forever in the sheltered garden of her heart. GERTRUDE HOUK FARISS �I .! • ! = i ' : .

Just returned from the party at Everglades for prospective students. Swimming, boating, eating, and singing. Almost wish school opened tomorrow. mber 13 Haven't time to write, Diary. It's Freshman Week. October 4 At last the freshmen look normal again after the initiation in Scadding. I think even the sophomores were glad to see the last of green bows and pale faces. —-tober 15 The return party the freshmen gave for the sophomores was almost an initiation. Perhaps we were too hard on them. We did have an hilarious evening, and the food was wonderful. rlober 18 We should have a Mothers' club. Dear Diary, this decision comes after seeing the success of our Mother-daughter tea this afternoon in Scott Hall and what lovely mothers the girls have. "tober 29 Oh, the first dance of the year, the Hallowe'en informal! This is the first time we have in­ vited service men, but not the last. The dance was marvelous, the men coming from the Port of Embarkation. There's something about the glitter of a lieutenant's bars—well, the atmos­ phere from corn husks and a witches' well was so realistic, I'm positive I saw a few goblins. ember 20 For the past two days members of the student council have attended the Oregon Federation cf Collegiate Leaders Conference at Lewis and Clark College. We talked with student leaders from large and small schools, and we all agreed that SHHJC was the best. ember 17 The end of the term, exams finished, and vacation just ahead—but best of all was the Christmas formal. We invited service men again and had a delightful evening swishing around in formals. Every one seemed to be enjoying herself or himself—I was! 1944 Today we had a most profitable demonstration of school cooperation at the box lunch sale ^nuary 19 sponsored by the sophomores. The freshmen bought every one of the gaily-wrapped boxes— the money we made! bruary 12 Spent all afternoon decorating Scadding with hearts, ribbons, and flowers for the Valentine dance. Short dresses and heels were the feminine style, and army and navy uniforms, the masculine. bruary 14 In student body meeting today we gave Mrs. Fariss a book on English literature for her birth­ day. Diary, it's these little traditions that make it exciting and different to attend the Hall. April 6 Tra-la, la-la, the birds and bees—and spring vacation. April 27 Spring is here! We announced it officially at school this morning with Cotton Day. Every one wore cotton frocks and flowers in her hair. We opened the windows to the ceiling, and Spring walked right in. And the informal dance in Scadding was fun galore. Men from the air base, music from a dignified nickelodeon, and dancing until 11:45. May 18 Campus Day! Everglades! We just returned from the lake. It was the first time since Fresh­ man Week, and it was delirious. All the memories of other visits aren't half so nice as the real thing. The campus looked so neat after we had raked and swept and hoed and raked again. We're all ready for tomorrow. May 19 May Carnival—and Queen Peggy Jacobson looked like a fairy ruler. Can't remember at­ tending any classes, Diary. May 20 The last dance, the Spring formal. My, this has been a busy weekend—a regular May fes­ tival—and the dance was a wonderful conclusion. Today was Baccalaureate Sunday at Trinity Episcopal church. The music and the solemn and inspiring message seemed to be as a consecration of our two years at the Hall. Torchlight in the dusk of the college campus. I shall never forget this night, dear Diary, with the sophomore procession, the revealing of the representative freshman girl, the tapping of new Angelas members—all the deep, solemn traditions of the Hall that lie beneath the laughter and the foolishness.

An actress must understand comedy in order to understand tragedy . . . ''Work sincerely, feel intensely, keep the tempo moving, and above all, enjoy yourselves." To the encouraging tur*.e of this advice, the drama department, possessed of great enthusiasm, a little stage fright, and an overwhelming desire to welcome the new Freshmen, raised the first curtain of the year. The occasion was the performance of "Curses, Foiled Again," presented on the annual foolish and frivolous Wednesday evening of Freshman Week. The audience, seated at small takoles, "a la ye old saloon", munched peanuts thrown by unruly, well-bustled ushers and drank cider from honest-to-goodness steins. An actress must be versatile . . . "Play from your heart and from your soul—play from what the dignity and grace of Christmas are to you." In December, in vivid contrast to the previous performance, the acting class presented "The Women of Bethlehem" as narrated by an angel of the Lord. The audience was ushered into Scadding Hall by the silver-voiced chiming of bells whiose melody created a mood of wonder and thanksgiving which was never interrupted throughout the performance. Again the chimes were heard at the conclusion of the program, lingering in the air long after, as a memory of the joy and the triumph of the Christmas season. An actress must give of herself if she would justify her profession . . . "Because the theatre must prove its right to a place in a world at war, the drama department will, this year, sacrifice its regular production schedule to the putting on of an entertainment for the armed forces. Tryou ts will be open to any one in the college who is interested in serving her country in this wcry." With a gasp of amazement, St. Helen's Hall sat up and prepared to try out for parts in a Gay Nineties Revue. "The Girls You Left Behind" began to take shape rapidly; and soon the wknole school was humming "We Are The Girls You Left Behind" and "The Victory Polka". Af ter weeks of strenuous rehearsal, and not a little fun, the show reached performance level. It was given under the auspices of the American Red Cross, which arranged for the tour to talce place during the week of March 20-25. Seven performances were given in five days. The ccrst included fifteen girls, who were accompanied by three chaperons, Mrs. Carolyn Collett, production director; Miss Peggy Jane Giddings, dance director; and Mrs. Gertrude Fariss, dean of the college. In producing the play, a script was written that would please an all-masculine group. Youth arid gaiety—laughter and song—jokes, flirtatious winks, black lace stockings—these were the things the show was made of. Several numbers invited participation, on the stage, of a mem­ ber of the audience; and the actresses learned that there is nothing bashful about a service man! While the army show limited the other dramatic performances during the year, it gave val­ uable experience that could be gained in no other way. The cast learned to play to different audiences in completely different settings, whether there were twenty minutes or an hour to become accustomed to the strange stage. The girls learned to sense the mood of each new group immediately; to make each successive performance more spontaneously alive. They learned, too, v/hat is meant by the professional expression, the "feel of the house". One of the appreci­ ative letters received by the school after the tour reflected the audience response: "The show has sparkle, youth, enthusiasm, and music that is both familiar and fun. The men like to sing, arid enjoy the feeling that they too are a part of the performance." "The technique of acting is the creation of a human soul through art." The theory under wbiich the acting class is instructed is the technique expounded by the late Constantin Stanis­ lavsky, who was director of the Russian Moscow Art Theatre. He believed that art is produced through the medium of a "creative mood" and that the actor must offer his mind and his heart in order to receive it. For its final project of the year, then, the drama department made a class analysis of Susan Glaspell's Pulitzer-prize play, Alison's House. Through this study, the girls came at last into a full realization of their year's work . . . the creative mood was invited freely . . . and successfully . . . and the final lesson v/as learned . . . "On the stage, as in life, each person must work for the good of the whole; no one can act his part alone." �I :•, Junior College Honors DELTA PSI OMEGA AWARDS The Delta Psi Omega Drama Honorary Award, given annually to a non-member of the fraternity, for outstanding service "behind-the-scenes", for efficiency, dependability, and cooperation, is presented to the freshman whom Delta Psi Omega members consider as having contributed most selflessly to the dramatic life of the school, Betty Clark.

Maybe I decide to retire into the book-store, for instance, for a quiet study hour. I walk in and settle down to my books. Everything is fine for a few minutes. Then I realize it is stuffy and open one of the windows. Having opened a window, I become absorbed in watching a soldier v/alk down the street. He turns a corner, and so, with a sigh, I return to my work. I study intensively—for about five minutes. Suddenly the door bursts open, and a pro­ spective customer comes bounding in. She wants to know if we have any index cards. We haven't. After she leaves, I try once more to read my assignment. This time I am disturbed by the sound of voices outside. I lean out the window and carry on a scintillating conversation with the girls below. The conversation consists of such brilliant remarks as, "Where are you going?" and Bring me something to eat from the bakery." Once more I resume my reading (I have covered one and a half pages), and once more the door opens. This time it is my friend, Suzie. She wants me to write a little note to her boy-friend's pal, who is lonesome and wants a letter. I agree and then chew on my pen for ten minutes. Shall I be casual and breezy and start by saying, "Hi, Slug"? Shall I be af­ fectionate and say, "Dearest Joe"? Or shall I perhaps be business-like and begin with "My dear sir"9 My brooding is interrupted by the entrance of the girls from the bakery. I decide to pause long enough to take a little nourishment; after all, I need my strength. I devour the last crumb of food and go back to my studying. But hark! What is that? Can it be ... it is! The bell has rung. I cannot understand how time can go so quickly. JUNE RICHARDS While the Sophomore Muses SPRING MELODY You know, I like the Hall—especially in Spring! There's something about crisp yellow sunshine that makes you want to twirl around three times and sing hilariously about many things--especially about how glad I am to be a student at S.H.H.J.C. The red bricks and gray walls of the buildings seem to echo my exuberance; and even the bacteriology labora­ tory assumes a lighter, more subtle fragrance in honor of the Goddess of Spring. Honestly, you'd be surprised at the small things I find exciting at the Hall. You might even laugh when you discover that I love to open the windows to gaze philosophically at fat cotton clouds against pale blue, wishing for a new dress to match the color of the sky; to race to the store in between classes to buy a shiny yellow-red apple that has .such a juicy sweetness it tastes like nectar; to lie flat on my back on the floor of the stage room, the air swelling with Debussy's "Afternoon of a Faun", the sun crowding in to share my enjoyment; to renew faded memories at the piano with any one who drifts into the room, lured by snatches of melody; to offset the war-time maid problem by aiding in the kitchen, clumsily arranging, to the consternation of the cook, crisp pieces of lettuce in arty salad pat­ terns; to throw myself half out the window, waving at every male who goes by, whether he be the streetcar conductor or the pre-school darling; to freeze happily in the icy tempera­ ture of all play rehearsals, breathlessly watching fragments grow into a tightly woven pro­ duction; to laugh hysterically at my attempts at being graceful in modern dancing; to marvel at the faculty who can be as gloriously young as we giddy students; to kneel with friends in thankful prayer in our small chapel, dedicating our lives to lofty ideals— Yes, these are the things that I will remember about the Hall.

Softly through this silence, becoming almost a part of it, float the sweet strains of the "Ave Maria'creating an atmosphere of divine reverence, filling our hearts with the desire to worship and to humble ourselves before the one true, living God. : Our heads bowed, we silently express our praise as we kneel, awaiting the beginning words of devotion. We are, in this instant, lost between Heaven and earth. ; - Such as this are our brief moments with God as we thank Him for our blessings and as we pray for a peace which will remain with us in the days to come i. Through the final words of benediction the great voice of the organ is again heard, its music expressing the glory which we have felt, the wonder of this haven in a world of turmoil, these moments with "Our Father— CARMEN SYNNES ! •j Love Song f These are the things I love; Soft candlelight and loving laughter, The sound of rain on the roof above, The sparkling dew in the early morn, Brown eyes, and music low and sweet, The starfish hands of a babe new born, The sound of wind so clean and free, The stormy sea, the touch of mist; These things are dear to me. —JUNE RICHARDS Night i! I I Oh, night—thou sweet, enfolding opiate, Quieting the ravished, throbbing earth, Let me hide among thy circling clouds, And sleep—in sleep there is no war. Let me shut my eyes against the death Of comrades. Help me to forget the tales Of pain and famine ruling far-off lands . . . And yet, oh, night, thy sweet oblivion Is like the river Lethe's dark-robed spell, A thick, enfolding dream, the weaklings' god; For with the roseate dawn of a new day, There comes the shining glory of the sun, And Hope eternal rules each heart again. —MARGARET ROGERS i i �Wings of Love The human soul is like a dove Which soars to heights unbound; Its fervor guided by that love And faith in Heaven found. The flame of trust reflects the light Of man's ideals inspired; Celestial glory brings delight, When duty is desired.

Though sorrows mar the joys we share, God's love will not decay; For His own thoughts are everywhere To sanctify the day! —HELEN L. TIMS Line and Form Birches . . .

Slowly I drifted down, down; and the depths rose above me in the silence of eternally cool green. It was cool, cool over my eyes and lips, cool over my arms, cool, so cool, cold, cold past my fingers, cold every­ where; and the depths were green-blue. Slowly I sank, and time was drowning in the greenblue. I was drowning in the langorous satin of the blue-green, and my cold white arms were burning in the dark, clutching blue . . . Now I was drifting, down and away, slowly, turning slowly, faster, faster, while the icy blue fire whirled me deeper and deeper. My eyes were flaming coals, and the sword-edge blue pressed hard against me, until my arms were molded to the gleaming white of my nerveless body. Deeper I sank . . . and never had I known the rough warmth of sunlight; forever and ever I had drifted in this world of crushing blue that seeped into my veins and smothered my heart; forever and ever the dark blue had poured above me in torrents of passionless cold . . . Around me now swirled great pinwheels of fathomless blue, dark blue, crystal blue, and shadows of amber. Now my feet and body and arms were bathed in blue-amber. Amberblue embraced me, kissed my resistless lips, closed my staring eyes with its oily fondling. Great floods of burning amber washed me, and the cold, icy amber covered me. I was con­ sumed by the inferno, and the silver ice sheathed my limbs. Now I saw below me the gentle slope of the ocean sand swathed in shadows of amber and blue and green with amethyst and topaz. Slowly I sank, and my feet drifted on the silver pearl sand, and the cold fire laid me gently on the ocean floor . . . . Drifting about me lazily, entwined about me was dark green and amber seaweed. Slowly, carelessly, relentlessly the strands curled about my face, over my lips, around my arms and through my fingers. With its pearl-incrusted strands and coral-laden fingers, the seaweed v/as my shroud as I lay on the clean, smooth sand. Now I had stopped drifting, and the gold-flecked sand was burying me slowly, silently, eternally . . . When I awoke, I saw the motionless body in the seaweed and sand, and I moved to­ ward it to comfort such loneliness. As I moved, great rivers of amber, blue, and green swept me close to my lost possession. I reached to touch it, but the heavy amber swirled me be­ yond and away . . .
