Vet I am certain that they are qualities of the never aging God. They are the foolishness of God, which St. Paul declared was wiser than the wisdom of men. They are the attributes of unspoiled., eager youth. They lead from thoughts and hopes through courage to an act of foolishness—to sacrifice This, too, is madness, foolishness to the learned —the Greeks. But to the Called it is Christ, the power and the wisdom of God. t So, as you go forth, keep youth within your hearts always! LEONARD C.

GERTRUDE HOUK FAR'SS 3 a a a 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 ■ DEAN’S MESSAGE ■ . \ To the Class of 1945 — Leaving behind the familiar, the loved, daring the hazards of stormy seas and unknown shores; trusting in God and His care, sailed those who were destined to give to the world a new nation. With tears for all that they hod left with unflinching determination and unshaken faith, they held firmly rhe proud banner of their ideal. 1 Across interminable miles of desert and prairie and mountain, through hazard and want and fear marched courageously the endless procession of those who had determined that they would give to America new fron­ tiers, a new horizon Eyes straining toward the West, hearts set upon build­ ing a new land, they pressed steadily forward. Strengthened by the courage and the traditions and the ideals of those stalwart ones from America’s glorious Past, march we of Today, pledged to save, with our abilities and our energies and even our lives, the cherished concepts and the precious way of life which is our heritage from them Set faces and stricken eyes bear too frequent evidence of the price we pay, but we are driven on by the silenced voices of those millions who have made equal sacrifices to give us that which we must now save. ; ■ : Into the minds and hearts of you of Tomorrow pass the strength and the courage and the vision from America s Past and her Present To you is given the grave responsibility and the rare privilege of translating the glories of the Past and the strivings of the Present into the peace and security, the justice and honesty, the tolerance and understanding of the world of which America will be a part Tomorrow. Moy you, with a faith in God as great as theirs who have gone before you, carry on GERTRUDE HOUK FARISS. 3 3 3 * •: . �mm 0 t DOROTHY KING GERRETSON Physical Education dorothy McPherson roy Art ond Clothing i \ V/ARREN W WILCOX lORENE WICKERT Psychology B-ologicol Sciences CLORINDA TOPPING Music Appreciation and Glee Club K i �i , H . ■ =3 ), =3 f i —3 -3 ■ ! b ! a 3 | ; CAROLYN BOWERS COLLETT { O'omo and Literature : m, U JANET EASTERDAY Secretarial Science i i i THE VERY REV.

FRESHMAN CLASS September seventh brings another Freshman Week to St Helen's Hall Junior College Sumner Hal! recreation room welcomes us, the new group of freshmen, eager, interested, excited, a little bewildered Angelos members, outnumbered and therefore very busy, introduce us, put us at ease. Sophomore "big sisters ", each with several little sisters , answer our questions. At tea-time we meet our instructors and spend the next hour trying to fit their faces to their names and their names to their courses. The less said about entrance exams, the better! Other memories of Freshman Week are soon ours: the wish.ng well; physical exams, all of us decked out in sheets like homeless ghosts; campus tours, the scavenger hunt; Everglades and garlic bread, mmmm Work starts in earnest. Names begin to stick to faces. We devoutly hope the sophomores appreciate our pretty green hair ribbons and our entrancing new hair styles—ugh! With freshman initiation finally over, we really begin to feel that we belong" now With great dignity we elect our own officers. Life becomes a round of chapel services, back seats, places on committees, memberships in clubs, work, and fun After much argument and preparation we give the sophs a return party They come all decked out in sailor suits and pinafores It is as much as we can do to handle them! As the year wears on, we gradually learn Hall traditions and ideals We become an integral part of Hall life. We help move sewing lab and rec" room We get the our Hall feeling In rapid succession come dances and parties, rehearsals for the talent unit, sports and games, activities galore We lose our timidity. We learn to ’"speak up” in student body meetings We go to classes, of course1 and naturally! and but definitely! We undergo term papers and grades Mutual suffering binds us together! We learn to find our places in the Hall scheme of things i In the spring a young maid's fancy . but we find we have no time for fancy, what with the spring ploy, the May fete, campus day., daisies blooming in the quad, baccalaureate, commencement. At last our freshman year is over. We bid a reluctant farewell to our big sisters. We wish we could live it all over again. I i �!• -- ! ; ? •: { ! * i J. Richords, V Torgcson R.

DELTA PSI OMEGA The members of the Soro Siddons Cast of Delta Psi Omega, national honorary fraternity in dramatic arts, strive to maintain within the College an active interest not only »n the creative arts of the theatre but in the art of living, since the stage must receive its ultimate inspiration from life itself. Membership in this organization is conferred only upon those who have freely and willingly given of themselves and of their time to all dramatic productions within the college, who have consistently maintained high scholastic stand­ ards and fine personal ideals, and who have undergone and completed the responsibilities and tasks of the pledging period. vm ”College Doze , a traditional part of Freshman Week, begins the Delta Psi Omega calendar for the year. There is much excitement and backstage giggling as the profs and students of the mythical dear old Shucksford' prepare a royal welcome for the quaking Freshmen Hot dogs and cokes served to audience and cast alike complete the collegiate evening Farewell, alums! October brings Chinese Stunt Night After much costume-hunting, acquiring of Chinese walks and accents, stern practicing of concentration while kowtowing, the show is on, complete with Chinese banners (falling unexpectedly), weeping willows, honorable Mandarins, and wretched prop-prop man. Shall we ever forget the almond(!) cakes and Chinese tea (hm! tastes like alfalfa) that our dear president risked life and honor to procure? Christmas brings its traditional dramatization of the birth of Christ Later there is the beautiful candlelit pledging ceremony, replete with pink roses and wonderful food (as usual) at Mrs Collett s. The dedication of the candles will not soon be forgotten Delta Psi Omega brings in the New Year by giving a Bohemian dinner party for Understudy Club Inter­ national intrigue is the order of the evening—spaghetti, grape-juice in wine decanters, checkered table­ cloths, Gestapo members, and the Underground February and March—and we all live and breathe the creation of our roles—the crystallization of our ideals in acting. March brings with it the solemn beauty of initiation, the sweet poignancy of the final pledging for the year. May is the fullest month under the sun. In the "time of Roses' there is so much to accomplish—the last play of the year; the Awards' Tea with its recognition of those who have most fully lived Delta Psi ideals, another initiation; one last toast "that our hearts may be forever bound in this one brotherhood—just striv mg all together for the things which we hold good E E E E E E E E E E E E t E E E E E E E E t �I ■' — w ^ .. ... _ : : '• ; ! : f !• I i BACK ROW FRONT ROW G Pole.

Its members seek not only to offer material service but also to gain spiritual guidance. Traditional privileges of chapel care keep Forum members unobtrusively busy: the chapel is comfort­ ably warm at every service; book-markers for the hymn books eliminate the old fumbling for the right page. Reverently serious faces look toward the stained-glass windows and the fresh flowers on the candlelit altar. Tuesday and Thursday noons during winter find the Forum girls turning cooks! Every one crowds : ■ eagerly into the foods lab. "Have you any mushroom2 Mmm, this is good!" And then members diligently begin their dish washing—always remembering to save the cans for the tin drive. Spring—and Forum plants flowers! See, they are growing already—delicate morning glories and other bright, gay flowers—in the Quadrangle, the rock garden, near Scadding, everywhere. Wet paint! What's this? Admiring students gaze upon freshly painted steps. They look almost too dazzling to walk on! April means Quiet Day, one of the most precious of Hall traditions. Quiet and earnest prayer, inspira­ tion and consecrated meditation, peace and beauty fill the chapel and the minds and hearts of every one. I I :; : LJ �t c I c D ■ a c 3 R c *1 *1 5 5 c c c E.

The aim of the Glee Club is to perfect the beauty of song and to seek after creative expression of that beauty. A complete reorganization is the first achievement of the year for Glee Club Fifteen new members undertake strenuous Tuesday rehearsals, which seem at first a combination of beautiful piano accompaniment and sour notes, playing havoc with the harmony. December, however, finds Glee Club ready for the first public appearance at assembly, highlighted by the ethereal quality of backstage descants. The Christmas song-fest at Mrs. Topping s home fairly brims over with carols and Christmas spirit Another Christmas party at Helen Tims' home gathers members of Glee Club, Delta Psi Omega, and Understudy for a big tree, games, gifts (especially Thusnellda, a goldfish given to June Richards), and lots of food.

Activities are many and varied. September introduces members to their first activity—the nutrition course. Busy girls conjure with calories and try to figure out what kind of fruit should be served with pork From six until eight on Thursday even­ ings. when every one else is eating in peace and comfort, they are learning to feed others. Finally come canteen and actual practice in using recently acquired skills. In the meantime girls are sewing on diapers, every one volunteering to finish at least one. Student body meeting, with so many industriously hemming, is quite a sight! Well, one has to learn sometime1 The real Christmas spirit is evidenced by the pecking of twenty-four boxes sent to the boys overseas. Practically every one in the student body runs into the “rec room in between classes to help wrap the gifts in scads of tissue paper and with bright colored ribbon. Well, they are all ready to be sent. Merry Christmas, soldier The Talent Unit is formed. Smile at those boys at Barnes Hospital. That’s what they need—a friendly smile1 Performances are ready on schedule, once every month Those evenings are unforgettable dinner at school—girls perfecting last-minute touches before the performance—walking down hospital corridors— appreciative smiles of the soldiers—visiting and chatting by the beds. Say, my girl sings, too. Can you sing White Christmas?" a wonderful time! Let’s go more often The drama department presentation of No Coward Soul as a Red Cross benefit is a huge success. The money raised will help save many lives. ’ It costs six dollars a second to maintain the American Red Cross all over the world. Let’s help! Think­ ing about such matters, the College embarks on the Red Cross War Fund drive Competitive sides, taking part in what is called the Gold-Diggers Contest, succeed in collecting the quota in five minutes. A coke party rewards the winning team. The crowning glory of the year comes when the American Red Cross presents its official charter to the St Helen’s Hall Junior College Unit. It is a recognition not only of the work of the members but also of the active participation in Red Cross work of the entire student body. Trips to the Blood Bank are frequent occurrences Common purpose brings complete unity and ceaseless striving together for the banishment of want and suffering. t ■ !

This organization supplies the stage crews and technical staff for all productions throughout the year Membership is open to any student who is willing to give before an open meeting some proof of her interest in any phase of dramatic art.

The coronation ceremonies beginning with the royal processional, the |esters prancing along in mock dignity beside their petite ruler, have progressed to their climax as the Prime Minister (Mrs Fariss) places the crown of white flowers on the head of the new sovereign, proclaiming, "I crown thee Queen Barbara I ". Now comes the first royal edict of Queen Barbara, officially opening the evening to merry-making. The cere­ monies are placed in the hands of the Mistress of Court Entertainment, Margaret Rogers . . . Her maiesty’s loyal subjects welcome spring.'' (A doubtful spring, with intermittent showers) : . . Music, dancing, a kingdom of color and laughter . . . “For the pleasure of your gracious majesty . Fairyland comes to the Hall for a brief moment with the never-failing enchantment of Peter Pan and Wendy. Last of all comes the traditional May-pole dance. Girls in pastel formats weave a symphony of color around the while pole . . , With a low curtsy the Mistress of Court Entertainment declares the program to be at an end. The recessional music begins . . . the queen rises and is helped from the throne by the jesters. Another May Carnival becomes a memory. : m f m m m M �fc B= C C DRAMA DEPARTMENT Rehearsals started even before school began, and if the drama department continues to run true to form, rehearsals will undoubtedly still be going on long after school is out. for productions seem to go on forever! During Freshman Week, the new students were to be introduced to the drama department via College Doze, the first performance of the year. After a series of fun-packed rehearsals, the ploy was ready to be presented- A Lowly Freshman, portrayed by Ruth Wacker, under the wing of an Academic Guide played by Mary-Helen Duffy, was led through the trials and tribulations of a mythical college life, m which she underwent registration, sorority pledging, psychological tests, nursery-school training, and selected classes. Hoping that the audience would return at later dates for more serious productions, the drama deport ment bade adieu to what might well be described as "low comedy. Christmas seemed to come earlier than usual, for some reason, and with it came more rehearsals This time, however, the mood was quite different from the first show of the year. Peace and hope were the mes­ sages the girls worked to convey through the production of Women of Bethlehem. Joyous music from two choirs, combined with the soft glow of lighted tapers, added greater meaning to the Angel s prayer for a war-torn world: " . . and may the light that filled the world on that blessed night so long ago bring the promise of peace to all nations and the richness of love to each of you . Christmas vacation brought the beginning of a new year, and with that new year plans were made for the first major production of the season, the Student Players' seventh annual experimental night The date was set for February ninth. An original script was compiled by Mrs Carolyn B Collett from books and plays about the three Bronte sisters of Haworth, England. The title, No Coword Soul '. was taken from the last poem ever written by Emily Bronte, and the nine scenes of the play were introduced by excerpts from poems written either by Emily or by Charlotte Bronte Into the roles of the famous sisters were cast Virginia Torgeson as Charlotte Bronte, June Richards as Emily Bronte, and Beverly Triplett as Anne Bronte. "The creation of a human soul is an unforgetable experience . To the cast of came the tremendous responsibility of portraying characters who had really lived her role with humility, realizing that any misinterpretation on her part would be a "human soul". Several weeks of research acquainted each girl with the intricacies of to depict, including even the minute details of personal correspondence C c E E E E E c E No Coward Soul Each girl approached blasphemy against a the character she was In the staging of this experimental production, the fourth wall ', or proscenium arch, was actually used in the set. A dark purple drapery was hung to stage left, |ust inside the outer stage curtain, only its border revealed. This drapery represented a window in Haworth Parsonage. Whenever an actress stood by it, she v/as gazing, in her character's mind, upon the dismal moors which so influenced the lives of the Bronte sisters. Experimental in nature, also, was the costuming of the play All of the costumes were stylized, being made exactly alike in accordance with one, simple, period pattern, differing only in color. The symbolical value of color was employed to denote the essential qualities or core of each character to be portrayed On the opening night, the before-curtain hush back-stage was momentarily broken when Mrs Collett brought in a small hand-painted picture of pale blue harebells The picture had been painted by Charlotte Bronte herself almost one hundred years ago, and had been brought to the play by a great-niece of Arthur Nicholls, Charlotte s husband It was os though the very spirit of the moors had entered Scadding Hall. Each girl went on stage more resolved than ever to do justice to the story of the Brontes. "No Coward Soul . . " was twice repeated during March for the benefit of the Red Cross War Fund Having once given the play for their own creative and aesthetic satisfaction, the girls were anxious and willing to repeat it for such a cause and in this way to prove that the theatre can have a definite place in a world at war Reluctantly, oh, so very reluctantly, the girls closed the prompt book for No Coward Soul . and began rehearsals for the spring play.. John Van Druien's Old Acquaintance A far cry from Haworth Parson­ age on the Yorkshire moors and from the Pensionnat Heger in Brussels, a duplex flat in Greenwich Village and a Park Avenue apartment in New York were the new stage sets for Scadding Hall The girls were now to learn that even so-called "sophisticated comedy' must be created with truth and absolute sincerity. As the rehearsals progressed, the underlying drama was revealed. The girls realized that to feel intense emotion and cover it with sparkling repartee took even greater ability than to portray unconcealed emotion. May tenth and eleventh saw the final performances of the Student Players of 1944-1945 The academic year had been filled with rehearsals, rehearsals, rehearsals; but each girl found herself infinitely richer in human experience and understanding after even a brief submerging of her own personality in another char acter, for, although the performance is the technical goal of rehearsals, the perfection of a role may often be reached in the rehearsal room. Truly each girl learned to develop " . . the creative spark which burns as a flame in the soul of each of us. t E 6=1 fc? E fc* t ti ta E E E t E * �I .

And the scrapbook turns another page, exposing a clean leaf; the dust sett'r Scintillas, covering the newest year book, too; and the Spirit of the Hall sinks into new year .. i * ‘ *.cl e . i �INDELIBLE INTERLUDE i Through the eyes of a disinterested observer, the small Naval Air Station is indeed small, but through the eyes and heart of a mother, sweetheart, or sister of an LTA sailqr, the station is magnificent, cruel, excil ing, and yet heartbreaking. From every state in the Union come these men, from Mexico, Cuba, Alaska, Hawaii, and the Philippine Islands. They come not to fight ihe "battle of the blivy bags , as they describe it. but to see the world or to win the war from a flat top or battle wagon. They come from all walks of life, after all types of training, to be lighter-than-air men on this small base. Many are dissatisfied, bui here they are, working together and taking care of their "blivy bags", the non-rigid airships commonly known as Navy blimps. Here In the wee small hours of morning of Thanksgiving Day, they move through the patches of mist, passing the immense buildings with their weird shadows. The only light is the shifting beam of green, the ceaseless beacon, guiding the way to the main hangar. Things are "jumping" in the hangar, but no more so than usual The vibrant hum of motors, the tinkle of tools dropping from tired hands to the cement, even the voices of weary men produce a bustling activity not unlike that of a farmhouse kitchen. But there is little thought here of Thanksgiving Day! at e t± "Bill, d'ya think we ll ever get this damn engine linkin' again2" "Ah cain't tell you-all, mate. Ah jest know that, effen we doan't soon, ah'm jest goin' to flake out right heah." Hear that whistle? That's for the shiphandlers. They pour from the barracks, corridors, offices. The boys ore struggling into their dungarees and heavy jackets now, as they run onto the slippery field. Huddling in a small group, shivering, teeth chattering, the boys watch the huge splinter of silver float earthward. "Cripes, you'd think they'd wait until a decent time of morning to bring that damn thing down ’ £ Of "Gimme a cigarette, Pete " “Can't, No smoking on field. Some fool Nip s liable to see it 'n blow us up." The knot of men breaks up as the cables swing to the field. The huge balloon glides closer, closer, only a foot more to go. A gust of wind, and the ship is carried to the opposite end of the field The men run there and back, to the right and to the left, until ship and men are united, all disappearing into the hangar The work continues quietly during the better part of the morning Little is said; much is done. At 1100 comes the sound of another whistle, unlike the shiphandler's signal. It must be important. Each man has a set, determined frown on his face as he "falls in", and soon the O D. marches up, smartly salutes, and snaps out his orders. Another crew strides out and boards a ship. Another follows, another, and still another Once more comes a blast of the mighty siren, "all hands turn to". The huge doors are rolled back with a mighty groan, and a blast of driving rain sweeps in. Soon four shimmering beauties are in the air, lunging through the storm. Destination: peril. i; ! ij One hour passes, two, three, four The silence is broken only once. "Anybody goin' up for chow?" Some one shoots the sailor a scornful glance Every man has a fearful look on his face. Each is thinking of the crews of those ships. One poor fellow "out there" is expecting an addition to his family any hour Another is leaving tomorrow. Each mechanic is meditating on his engine, the one he swears at, spits at, and kicks. But right now he's calling her "honey" and pleading with her to bring her cargo of men home safely Each fabric man is dreading the thought he trieds to banish, the thought of hard machine gun blasts, plunging the carriage of human lives into a cold, beating ocean More slow hours pass. Radios are still silent, not a sound can be heard, only the pounding of rain. Occasionally a man lifts a tired hand to wipe perspiration from his brow. At 1900 the silence is broken. "K33 calling ABC tower. Roll back those pearly gates, mates. We re cornin' home." The men jump to their feet, dash out into the storm, and pull the giant balloons to safety. I ■ Cheers go up as the landing crew spy the empty depth charge racks and notice the absence of bombs. Each ship is empty of her ammunition, and each flight crew has completed its mission. “Well, Joe, 'spose we can still find some turkey and dressing waitin' for us?" "Gosh, if is Thanksgiving, isn't it?" —PATRICIA MOORE. mrnm cc ££ C3C I: 3 �=F =3 ±J 1J dp ±1 ±1 STAR-LIGHT God looked down and saw a world black as the Pit with sin and hate and greed. He saw his children stumbling over the rocks, for they were blind in the absence of light; shivering, for they were cold in the lack of heat. And he leaned over and loosed the fastenings of a tiny star, so that it swung free from heaven and drifted—drifted low till it floated among the children of earth. The little star saw what God had seen; and it knew God's purpose, so it gleamed brilliantly, shedding its glow that the children might see. Under ihe shining of the star, the children lifted their heads and, beholdmg it there, close above them, walked more surely; for the way was now light Coming close to the star, they lifted their arms to clutch it, so that they might hold it always, as a candle in the dark; but they found K that they could not touch the star and were disappointed. The star gave counsel to comfort them, saying, "By fingers I cannot be held; but open your hearts, and I will enter." Hearing this, the children obeyed; and God, looking down, saw the rays of the star flashing in mirror­ like gleams from within the children's hearts An angel asked of God, "Now will you bring the little star back? For they have seen its light, and their own hearts reflect it." And God replied, Not yet. A mirror-like heari is not enough." So the tiny star burned brighter, more fiercely, so that the children began to feel the warmth of its beams. And that which was ice w<thin them melted. Their frozen hearts thawed and began to feel the pulse of life. Again Ihe angel turned to God, asking, "Now will you bring the star back? For they have felt its wcrmln." ■ i m & i 1E m. But still God answered, "Not yet. One moment more." ' Then into the beating hearts of the children the star cast its strongest rays; and in the souls of the chil­ dren the sparks caught fire and glowed of their own accord. With wonder, the children watched and fanned the sparks gently, nursing the flame. And as the heart-fires grew, the tiny star rejoiced; and the angel turned to God, who smiled and said, "Go now, and bring the star home." But when the angel arrived to carry the star back to heaven, the children wept and cried aloud until the star itself silenced them, saying. Weep not for me, nor consider me as gone, for I am warmth and light. Therefore, as long as my flame burns in your hearts, I am here Now go and spread my fire, that I may be with you always." m So the children scattered and carried the flame to the darkest corners of the earth And to the tongues of the children, when they spoke of the star, came many different names. Some called if "Hope" , some "Faith", and some Kindness . But more often than by any other name, it was called “Love". —BEVINS HALEY. 5 �! ;s LET FREEDOM RING! -! 1 i •) : ! : 71 n ■3$ Anthems echo from the gate Of God's great realm above; Ageless tunes reverberate New words of sacred love; For marching feet no more resound Upon the earthen floor,Psalms of joy, long-lost, are found Within men's hearts once more Notes of rapture, touched with prayer, Ring out through all the world; Chords from Heaven s shrine, so fair.
