In the beginning was an idea ... it grew in the minds of two

fu:

women. It walked with them, lived with them, and lingered in
their dreams until at last it materialized in the lives of hundreds

fc:

upon hundreds of girls. Steadily it pushed onward and ever
onward, gathering unto itself traditions rich in sentiment, asso

lightly discarded. One of those who had shared the first vision

e
s.-

was to see only the form taking shape before she passed into a

f?;

dream not of time nor of the earth. To the second passed a large

6?

ciations invaluable in meaning, ideals which could never be

part of the trust . . .

ft_

We who have known her, studied under her, shared her ideals,

It

realize the privilege of claiming her as educator, comrade, friend,

s.

for to know her is to love her, to study under her is to pass through
a newly-opened door into the brightness of magic worlds, to
share her ideals is to elevate life to its richest and most enduring

ft -

values . . .

*3

It is with humility, respect, gratitude, and abiding love that we

ft-.
s

dedicate this Scintilla to Gertrude Houk Fariss, assuring her that

ft-;

all she has made of St. Helen’s Hall Junior College will live in us,
and in those who have gone before us, always, guiding us ever­
more surely "to that land of promise" whose intimations we first

N;

sensed through her at the college which was her trust . . .

To the Class of 1947 . .
May your years al the Hall have brought you understanding — the knowledge that our lives are
not patterned by the circumstances and events which enter into them. They are determined, rather, by the
manner in which we receive these experiences; by our point of view concerning them; by the intelligence
and honesty, the courage and the idealism which we apply to the living of them.
But this wish of mine for you is more than a desire for your future growth; it is a conviction of your
present achievement. This past year has been a testing time — and you have measured well. This was a year
which might, as we looked back upon it Commencement night, have been a year of dismal lack of fulfill­
ment or one of glorious and soul-satisfying climax. To your lasting credit, it has been the latter. There has
never been a moment's faltering in your determination that everything in the year's activity should reach the
apex of all that we have always wanted it to be. I am deeply and lastingly proud of you.
Although this is a message to the graduating class, I know that not a sophomore would want me to
refrain from paying tribute to a fine and loyal freshman class. Never has a class more readily or more
speedily caught the spirit of the Hall, and never have freshmen shown greater evidence of loyalty and
devotion to the Standards of St. Helen's Hall". And not a student, Sophomore or Freshman, but would
want to join with me in paying tribute to the most capable, understanding, and devoted Faculty that any
college could have.
My final wish for you who are graduates is that you may apply to every problem and to every situa­
tion that life offers you the zest, determination, courage, and steadfastness of which you have given such
manifold evidence during the year. Holding fast to these qualities, you cannot fail to progress unfalteringlyv
"Onward, ever onward". My heart will be with you.

Dear Graduates:
It is my privilege to congratulate the Graduating

tL'

Class of 1947. It is with mixed emotions that you, the

L

last class to graduate from St. Helen's Hall Junior
college, are sent on to further learning and experience.
We believe that you are ready. We believe, however,
that there are other things that you must remember

V

S-*

besides the learning which you have received here. You
will always remember the Hall through the friends you
have gained. All will be alumnae, united by common
memories and experiences. Keep alive those friendships
you have formed during your years at the Hall, because,
as you advance in years, those with whom you can

£

fci

i;

reminisce over common experiences will be more valued.
Remember the Christian religion, which, when truly

fc:

presented, encourages the increase of knowledge and
good learning. Take an active part in the work of some
Christian church, remembering that it is important to
develop your minds only because you have souls.
The Lord be with you. Amen.
Sincerely,
The Reverend L. Franklin Evenson, Chaplain

FRESHMAN CLASS
September 16, 1946, brought another freshman class to St. Helen's Hall Junior College, introducing a
week filled with excited, nervous, eager, and bewildered freshmen, each wondering what was going to

r--*
-i

happen next in this strange, new world she had entered.
Each day was filled to the brim with activities ranging from exams to more exams (both mental and phys­
ical!), discussions on campus life, faculty and student get-acquainted teas, a chile party, a weiner roast, a scav­
enger hunt, and a skit given by Delta Psi Omega Mental phenomena finally slowed down as ever-so-weary

~t9

-i

freshmen and sophomores were whisked off to an outing at Everglades on Lake Oswego. Swimming, boat­
ing — that's the life! This was a week to remember1
College life really started in earnest the following week. Ambitious freshmen carried massive piles of

will we forget the joyous times we ve had here and the days that held so much of both work and play. We

Then the half-dreaded, half-anticipated night of freshman initiation arrived, as did the freshmen in
maid and butler uniforms Such a hectic evening! We lived through it, but only that!
The days became filled with frantic rushes to make eight o'clock classes on Monday morning, and we
quietly suffered through those three-hour labs. We gave a return party for the sophs at the Hallowe'en
Barn Dance, articulated by a gay-nineties theme. As the days sped by, we became a real part of the
dances, parties, sports, games, and teas that took place. We struggled through term papers, final exams,
and warning slips and became even more intimate with our fellow ‘‘strugglers”!
Then spring wafted in, together with the first daisies in the Quad, and the air was filled with dances,
Campus Day, the May Fete, the musicale, and finally Baccalaureate, Torchlight, and Commencement. Never
know the Hall has given us a fuller and more perfect life.

ANGELAS
Angelas came info being in memory of the inspirational life of one who contributed much to the found­
ing of the College The ideals of womanhood in service, as truly evidenced by Sister Katherine Angela, are
those toward which members of this sophomore service honorary strive. Its emblem is a deep blue maltese
cross, which symbolizes service and Angelas ideals of worthwhile living.
Angelas members particularly endeavor to make for bewildered freshmen a little less mystifying
entrance into college. Summer get-togethers were held at Everglades to help both sophomores and freshmen
become acquainted. Freshman week, Angelas' responsibility, introduced new students to the ways of the
Hall and the spirit of the Hall.
The Christmas season brings with it the annual reunion of Angelas alums and members. This celebra
tion took the form of a Christmas breakfast at the home of Mrs. Fariss, the food being not only served by
the Angelas girls but prepared by them as well, giving them an opportunity to practice their culinary arts.
Love and sweet things come on Valentine's day, and so does Mrs. Fariss' birthday. As the girls all
gathered around her and sang "Happy Birthday to You", she was acknowledged as Angelas girl-of-themonth.
Each and every holiday brought a student-faculty party in the "rec" room. Angelas girls being hostesses. Angelas' beguiling witches stewed and chanted over the brew of hot chocolate at Hallowe'en,
assisted in the after-cider tableau of Bessie, the Best Dern Cow a Farmer Ever Had at Thanksgiving, sang
carols at Christmas, and were the perpetrators of an all-college April Fool ' program.
Scoring another activity-plus year, Angelas members can well be proud of the fun they have provided,
in the course of their efforts really to live the Spirit of St. Helen's Hall.

FORUM
Forum enables students at the Hall to express both a personal and a group expression of religion.
The members of Forum care for our Chapel — dusting, cleaning, airing, keeping it warm enough, arranging
flowers on the altar, and acting as acolytes for each service.

Forum strives to add beauty to the Quad by planting flowers.
Get-togethers are really supper parties at the homes of the various members. It is really not necessary
to hold business meetings, as Forum s work is done at school — but we do so love to eat!
As they leave the Hall, Forum members will carry with them, deep in their hearts, a glowing conception
of the |oy of service. The inner satisfaction derived from their work will indeed be a lasting one.

DELTA PSI OMEGA
The Katherine Cornell cast of Delta Psi Omega, national fraternity in dramatic art, was founded by
those in the College who maintained an active interest in the creative arts of the theatre. They carried this
interest into life itself, since the stage is inspired by life, and members of this year's cast hope to follow in
the same path. Membership is granted to those who give freely of their time and efforts to the dramatic
activities of the year, who have maintained high scholastic standing, and who have carried out their respon­
sibilities as pledges.

r~i

Traditionally, Delta Psi Omega presents dramatic entertainment during Freshman Week. This year Just
Call It Evolution" featured the Delta Psi girls in various aspects of school life, as St. Helen's Hall appeared in
1896 and 1946. "Burt's Bakery," our favorite haunt, featured cookies as refreshments.

&lt;

November brought "The Faces of Dekka" and good fortunes for all. Far-seeing Delta Psis foretold the
future, while others served Chinese tea and rice cakes, thus depleting the treasury considerably.
During iarwjary and April, with the production of Stage Door and Blithe Spirit, Delta Psi members were
given the opportunity to test their artistry in creating roles.

With April came the solemn beauty of initiation, the fulfillment of the pledges' hopes, as they become
members of Delta Psi Omega.
June, with the blooming of the first rose, brings with it each year the Awards Tea and the recognition of
those who have most truly lived Delta Psi ideals. As summer comes and members of Delta Psi go their separ­
ate ways, they will leave one another, as always in the past, with their "hearts bound together in this one
brotherhood" and the ideals of Delta Psi alive within each one

UNDERSTUDY CLUB
Understudy Club, sponsored by Delta Psi Omega, has an active part in the dramatic life of the College.
From it comes everything from the "screaming voice heard offstage" to the ticket-takers at the door. Mem­
bership is open to all who are willing to give proof of this dramatic talent before an open meeting.
Installation of new officers is made impressive with vows taken by candle light, in which each officer
promises to uphold the ideals of the Hall in the theatre. Taking its cue from the Delta Psi sponsors, the nesv
group plans its own program of activities.
The group this year was well represented both offstage and on in Delta Psi's stunt night production,
"The Faces of Dekka", and in the Christmas program
Then came the weeks of rehearsals for Stage Door, the winter production. Many of the Understudies
had lines to learn as well as curtains to pull and sets to arrange. Not to be forgotten is the delicious coffee
they served at Saturday morning rehearsals
For fun, Understudy's Valentine date dance at the Lakehouse was "tops". Long-remembered, too, will
be the slumber party in March, at which the old-timers feted new members with a pot-luck supper.
Spring, appropriately enough, brought with it Blithe Spirit. Understudy came to the rescue once more
with costumes and "props" and time and patience.
Understudy members are proud of those of their group who are Delta Psi Omega pledges and ore
more than ever fascinated by the possibilities of the stage. All are determined to carry into the coming year
their zestful interest in the theatre

RESIDENCE HOUSE
September once again set the residence house, popularly known as the "Dorm , buzzing with activity.
Girls from all over Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and even far off Montreal, Canada, unpacked their bags in
its rooms and planned, as they said, "to stay awhile

Shrieks of

What luck — I get a room of my own

breezed out the windows.
Gathered around a cheery fireplace, the girls became better acquainted with Miss Burch, their house
counselor, were told of previous existing rules of the house, and then established a few of their own. This
was the first of many such pleasant "firesides.
The Mothers' Silver Tea, various club meetings, initiations, and informal group discussions found their
setting in the attractive living rooms of the "Dorm

More than a few times the "Dorm" girls were hostesses

for such enjoyable affairs.
The dormitory not only served as a college home for its residents but also offered a sanctuary to any
and all day students whose desire it was to rest their weary bones — or who just wanted an excuse to get in
a "gabfest
All in all, the residence house has stood for two good old American words — fun and home!

CHORUS
Chorus acknowledged, with great enthusiasm, the opening of the fall term of '46. Sopranos, second
sopranos, and altos ushered in what proved to be a year of musical festivity.
Under the able direction of Mrs. Feme Epler, Chorus spent a great part of the first term feverishly pre­
paring and rehearsing for the Christmas program. The theme, effectively chosen and presented, was “One
World at Christmas Representatives from the junior college, high school, and lower school depicted through
song, pantomime, and modern interpretative dancing, the Yuletide traditions and spirit of many lands.
Erstwhile "saddle and "loafer clad" girls were transformed into gray-robed carolers. After much effort
French, Spanish, and Chinese Christmas carols were mastered and presented by the group. "Silent Might",
sung in Chinese, was received with enthusiasm. But cur grand finale was Handel s mighty Halelujah Chorus
from the Messiah, in which all the choruses |oined in a fitting conclusion to our first all-school Christmas
program.

r.3

A change to chic black dresses and precious nylons came as the Chorus sang for the Mothers’ Club
annual Silver Tea, held on St. Valentine's Day at the Residence House. We all sang our best, hoping that our
mothers would think we were really professional.

With a final burst of activity, the College Singers presented a Spring musical. Audience approval stamped
the program an unquestioned success and a fitting climax to a year of delightful music interludes.

SCINTILLA STAFF
Once again the sophomore class, just bubbling over with ideas, set out to make their year book, the
Scintilla, the best ever. With high hearts and fervent hope they undertook to “scintillate" their Scintilla, spic­
ing it with a little fun, adding the spirit of real friendship, and blending in the college's cherished traditions
All efforts were combined to squeeze as much as possible of the two chuck-packed years of college life into
one cherished record.
Officers were elected and appointed and immediately began to work/
The Ad staff, composed almost solely of peppy and willing freshmen, sprang into step and invaded
various places of business in strong numbers.
“Quickies" were constantly being held in the sanctuary of Mrs. Fariss' office by the staff’s advice
seekers.
Scintillas of other years received a good dusting off, as the staff thumbed through them to gather a
few more intriguing ideas.
An art contest was sponsored by the Staff to intensify the already enthusiastic activity.
Sophomores rushed down for their appointments
at the photographers, and in turn the photographers
came to the campus to take activity pictures. All
subjects obliged as the black-hooded camera clicker
announced the “birdie", and all willingly said
“cheese."
Indecision followed decision, and again decision
followed indecision as choices had to be made in
regard to what “bits" would be included in the
annual. And eager questions of, “Do you like this
proof better than that one? Please tell me; I'm fran­
tic!" were exchanged by distracted sophomores.
At last all important conclusions were reached,
and the Class of 1947 reached the climax of its great
adventure. The Scintilla was sent to the printer!
Breathing became easier!
Now it's just a matter of having every one sign
every one's else Scintilla. Nostalgic students will take
last precautions to tuck this memoir gently away, so
that the beloved experiences of days at the Hall may
be relived during the years to come.

RED CROSS UNIT
Generous and enthusiastic plaundits greeted the Hall's Red Cross Talent Troupe as it made its monthly
visit to Barnes General Hospital at Vancouver The girls in turn gave their all in an attempt to cheer and to
entertain hospitalized veterans. The men duly showed their appreciation by sending fan letters and by pre­
senting the group with a Red Cross overseas make-up kit.
A different theme was carried through each show. At first we Thespians and singers assumed roles of
dark-eyed, fortune-telling gypsies. "Doin' what comes naturally", we later became hill-billy folks. At Christ
mas we were transformed into china dolls and stuffed toy animals, carrying out our Toyshop theme. This
cheery little Christmas program also took us to Veterans' Hospital in Portland, to a large group of French
Merchant Seamen, and to the Pisgah Home for Old People. A carload of girls got lost on the way to the
Home, but the show must and did go on! The winter term ushered in shoot-them-straight, dead-eye-Dick
cowgirls, and spring brought lacy, frilly gay 90 s damsels. We could put on a show anytime, anywhere, with
Miss Clifford and Mrs. Roy being our chief ''finger-crossers".
The Hall s Gray Lady Junior Hostesses made
their bow for the first time this year, after an eighthour course in hospital procedure had been com­
pleted at the local Red Cross center. Nine girls in
trim gray and white uniforms performed library and
general office work at Veterans' Hospital, one of our
favorite "let's-get-lost" places! Free movies on movie
nights were the reward of these hostesses.
F.A.W.S.A.P. (now take a deep breath — First
Aid, Water Safety, and Accident Prevention — ex­
hale) also made its debut this year, as girls received
life-saving instruction at the swimming center. And
the "Foods" girls, under Miss Landquist's instructions,
received credit for their study of nutrition.
All in all, the Red Cross Unit had, as you can see,
a year jam-packed with entertaining and helping
young, old, and inbetweeners. But the biggest thrill
of all was that deep-down good feeling inside which
came to the girls with the knowledge that they were
making a sunnier world for some one else.

�I. R. C.
International Relations Club, popularly and conveniently abbreviated lo I. R. C., is the group that have
a good chance, twice a month, to air their opinion on current world affairs, whether they be concerned
with permanent world peace or the much-debated question of whether eighteen-year-olds be given the right
to vote.
Sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, I R C.'s purpose is to promote the
study of international relations. To further this interest the Endowment provides the Club with current books
and information on world affairs. These books gather no dust, as members put them to constant use when­
ever they find a spare minute.
Two Hall delegates were sent to the Northwest Regional I. R. C. Conference at Marylhurst College. And
we again were one of the thirty-one colleges that were represented at the Pacific Northwest College Con­
gress held on the Reed College campus- The purpose of this Congress is to promote and stimulate student
thinking concerning world problems. Resolutions were brought back to the student body and again discussed
Our share of funds toward the Student Congress was raised when I R. C. members auctioned off boxlunches in the “rec" room. The lucky ones who captured chicken sandwiches were the envy of every one less
fortunate.
May came round the corner and beckoned I. R. C to the sponsorship of its annual Cotton Day. Hopeful
aspirants paraded the stage in perky cotton dresses, home-made and store-bought, with the confessed am­
bition of winning first prize. Fashion connoisseurs (faculty members in disguise) tried to remain unprejudiced
as they viewed all these enticing creations. But at last two were chosen — Queens for a day!
Yet, despite all the fun of the college year, I. R. C. is most vitally concerned with world problems of
today, what the world of tomorrow will be like, and how we can make this world a more peaceful and better
place in which to live.

STUDIO
In all fairness to any one and all concerned, it should be said that Studio is the much sought-after club
at the Hall, the sole interest of whose members is art1 At its debut its intent was and since that time has con­
tinued to be the stimulation of its members' interest in art. Our innocent yet tempting purpose was soon
perceived by the alert student body, and immediately Studio was pounced upon for favors of decorating for
this—and that—and this! Eager members joyously accepted each and every project.
Two meetings were held each month, one a social meeting at one of the member’s homes, amidst the
munching of cake and French pastry, Mrs. Roy doing the pouring, and the other a down-right energetic work
meeting held in the Art "Lab At such times we came equipped with scissors, needles, thread, and other
paraphanalia to further our creative urge.
Initiation ushered in new and eager members amid a candle-1 it setting of daffodils. After her pledging,
the new member received the insignia of Studio Club—a tiny gold palate pin. Five-cent fines were enforced
for not wearing the pin at each and every meeting. Excuses all the way from "It was lost in the washing
machine" to "My boy friend has if were heartlessly rejected during the course of the year!

3

The year meteored off by decorating for the Hallowe'en Barn Dance. Hobgoblins, sassy-looking
o-lanterns, cornstalks, and the red-blooded ideal yokel, Li'l Abner, were featured.

3
3

To prove we had the true Yuletide spirit, we gathered palms and wreaths and bedecked a huge Christ­
mas tree with glittering ornaments for the Christmas Formal at Trinity Parish Hall—soft lights—sweet music—
ah romance!

One fairy wand after another touched off mental wizardries, as ideas materialized for the Valentine's
Dance. Fluorescent hearts sparkled out "Be My Valentine," "I Love You," and "If You Were the Only Girl
in the World." Old St. Valentine himself couldn't have done better!

Jack-

The wheels in these great artistic minds spun even more rapidly, producing ideas for the Spring Formal
and the May Fete, with Studio girls becoming stage hands, deck hands —. All hands worked feverishly to
make their last project, artistically speaking, their crowning success!
Yes! Versatility is our motto!

H-CLUB
Contagious enthusiasm, rosy cheeks, and that "grand-to-be-alive’' feeling are all essential ingredients
which, put together, will produce a good H-Club member As one might guess from such a delectable
recipe, H-Club fosters all of the athletic activities of St. Helen's Hall Junior College.
October ushered in sixteen new members with a candle-light initiation. Soon many girls were the proud
wearer of sweaters. After earning a sufficient number of points, these members were awarded their red and
blue "H s".
Under the watchful eye of Mrs. Janet Soderberg, their adviser, and other interested onlookers, the
waterdogs ducked and dived in the swimming pool. Female Robin Hoods tucked bows and arrows under
their arms. And just as enthusiastically H-Club members hiked; played badminton, volley ball, and basket
ball; competed in ping pong and tennis tournaments; and attempted to perfect their horsemanship
Christmas vacation, so eagerly awaited, finally arrived, and members soiourned to Timberline Lodge
Skiing over slick and crusty snow, glistening in the sun, resulted in casualties — but no matter! What a life1
The girls retired on cots, on the floor, and in sleeping bags and proved themselves entirely self-sufficient
by cooking their own food
May Day brought with it the usual delightful
melody of Spring Fever. H-Club girls, however, were
busily preparing for one of the most festive occasions
of the whole year The May Fete, with all of its tra­
ditional merry making, paid graceful and ceremonial
homage to St. Helen’s lovely May Court. In traditional
manner, this gala night marked the climax of H-Club's
activities for the year.
These activities, however, with all of the newlyacquired skills in sports, only point the way to a
zestful summer vacation and to fun-filled months

ahead

With royal recognition of the pastel-gowned princesses, Joy, Gloria, Dolores, and Mimi, and with the

and chic mannequins, some modeling their own fashions direct from the Clothing Lab, charmingly displayed
their up-to-the-minute costumes in skits centering
around bridge parties, slumber parties, and tip-toeing
waltzes.
The chorus chimed in with many a merry tune
to add to the festivity.
Where entertainment departed, Open House
entered — and Queen Beverly and her princesses
four made a royal inspection of the exhibits of a
year's work by the subjects of St. Helen's Hall. Oil
landscapes and murals, slides under microscopes, and
literary pieces were shown and explained to the
Court and honored guests by formally-gowned
subjects. Mantilla-clad senoritas sang "canciones"
from Spain.
With the serving of tempting tid-bits, mixed
with bubbling conversation, the embers burned down
to memories, and pleased guests departed with
thoughts of the Kingdom of St. Helen's Hall deeply
impressed upon their minds.

STAGE DOOR
STAGE DOOR by Edna Ferber and George Kaufman was produced by the Junior College Players,
January 17 and 18, with the male roles filled by players from Vanport Extension College

The story of a

boarding house for aspiring actresses with their various successes and failures, this play presents an excel­
lent opportunity for young drama students to demonstrate their talents. Perhaps the largest cast ever to
tread the boards of Scadding Hall sent capacity audiences into chuckles of laughter, and in several scenes
brought a lump or two to the throats of the spectators
Jeral Ohlemeier as Terry and Anne Gabriel as Kaye quickly captured the sympathy of the audience
and never for an instant lost their interest and understanding. Merri|ane Owens as Mrs. Orcutt and Mary Lou
Helmer as Judith portrayed their humorous characters in a manner to get the most from each line and piece
of business. The Technique of Acting class and fourteen members from the Voice and Diction classes provided
an excellent supporting cast.
The entire production compared favorably with other college performances in the Northwest and was a
credit to the director, Miss Dorothy Clifford.

BLITHE SPIRIT
The second full length production of the year, BLITHE SPIRIT by Noel Coward, was presented April 24
and 25 in Scaddmg Hall The hilarious farce is concerned with a happily married British novelist, who is
writing a story involving the supernatural. He has the inspiration of asking Madame Arcati, the local me­
dium, to demonstrate a seance The whole thing is pretty much of a failure and the guests depart, leaving
Charles and his wife Ruth alone, but not for long. They are soon |oined by the spirit of Elvira, Charles'
first wife, who is visible and audible only to him.
Members of the Technique of Acting class, assisted by Eugene Anderson from Portland University,

Dreams

3

Dreams are bits of fantasy,

I have walked with Love today.

Enchanted story books.

Alone in the wilderness.

Dreams are dreamed on crowded streets.

He showed me His dominion:
His tall, time-worn, ageless trees;

3
3

In secret, hidden nooks.

3

For what may never be.

3

And dreams are dreamed by me.

The gray water that eddies and dances
Dreams are wishes people make

under the chill and biting wind;
The dull, vague skies, overcast and cloudy.

Dreams are dreamed by yearning souls,
I have walked with Love today,
Calm, serene, and still,

3

Dreams may make us princesses

The beauty of His works awed in its intensity.

3

In far exoiic lands.

Cutting deep into my heart, leaving me spent
and breathless.

3
3
=3
3

Dreams like these are fantasy,
Are castles built on sands.

I have walked with God today,
Dreams reach on into the years;

Content and sure;

We all seek some vague clue
To keep ourselves still dreaming on —

And so, tonight, calm and assured,
I shall walk content with Death.

Decause dreams can come true.

“Fill Our Hearts With Truth
3

i v

"Beauty is truth and truth beauty; that is all ye know in the world and all ye need to know."

-1
Into the pattern of our lives may be woven c shimmering thread of immaterial beauty which is the

3

mystery of life itself. As we grow older, we may often lose sight of the magic light of beauty. But sooner
or later we all realize its ethereal presence How easy it is to lose for a moment our realization of beauty

3

and the ultimate truths derived from it But like fading music and summer rain, the memory of it somehow

3

clings to us.

3
3
-t

We may look upon physical beauty and be warmed, but ultimate perfection lies beyond the ephemeral
moment. It is an intrinsic part of a far greater pattern of life.
If we can envision loveliness in our hearts, no matter how much we are tried by life's adversities, beauty
and the ultimate spiritual truths to which its leads will always be within us.

3

Now we come to the end and the beginning. But the end and the beginning are one. Thus we may re­

3

capture the beauty we have known thus far and continue on life's way — our spirits filled with beauty, our

3

hearts filled with truth.

Morning Mood
Home is in the country on the slope of a small hill, overlooking a valley with majestic snow-covered
mountains in the distance, keeping their vigil over fruitful farms, forests, and rivers.
The beautiful blossoms on the fruit trees dance and sparkle in the morning sunlight. The white blossoms
of the cherry trees fall slowly to the ground as if hesitating to disturb the snowy bank beneath. Delicate
pink and white tinted blossoms spread a soft velvety carpet below the apple trees, and the deeper peach
blossoms flutter silently to the earth
The air, free of the smoke and soot of the city, tingles with freshness. Clear tones of the birds, disdainful

The Spirit of the Hall

The little spirit yawned luxuriously. She raised her tiny body slowly and with a supreme effort firmly
pushed herself away from the daisy-strewn lawn upon which she lay. Oh dear," she murmured, "I was
watching that archery class again, and I guess I must have fallen asleep.
"My goodness, what would the Bishop say? After all, the spirit of St. Helen's Hall Junior College has
certain responsibilities. I guess I II pick some of the Forum flowers andleave them on some teacher s desk
Now I must remember not to trip on that ivy again. Why, whoever heard of a respectable spirit s not being

just sure to run into Mrs. Fariss, and my robe isn’t very clean. I guess I must be at that awkward stage or

"I guess I’m not a very good spirit, but I try so hard. After all, is it my fault if I never get to Chapel on
time? The spirit of the Hall can be around only when everything is peaceful and quiet, and those Owens
girls just can't quite seem to make it by 9:30.
"Now there was something I was supposed to do today. I’ve got it on the tip of my tongue (Our spirit
is completely equipped — with tongue.) But I |ust can’t quite — Oh, I know," she said as she tripped over
a rake and shovel that somebody had momentarily laid down. "Campus Day! ‘
The little spirit pulled her dishevelled gossamers around her and headed for Sumner Hall, only to be
nearly mowed down by an onslaught of girls carrying a basket of leaves and vines that they were preparing
to empty. Without more ado they picked up the basket, into which the spirit had almost fallen, and contin­
ued to the trash pile.
"Mon dieu!" said the spirit. "What a narrow esccpe! I guess I’d better go some place where it’s safer."
So she hurried into the library, where Mrs. Osvold helped her make herself presentable "Well," sighed the
spirit, as she slowly turned the pages of the college scrapbook, "it’s certainly been a long, hard day1

I’d capture all the joy in life

And give it all to you.

Perseverance, they tell me, is one of those attributes of a well-balanced personality that we must culti­
vate. Week after week countless girls from the Hall — no doubt with this objective in mind — still keep trying

to ski.
Since I have had extensive experience in this sport (I went skiing for the third time two weeks ago), I
feel qualified to give a little advice to beginners.
The aspiring ski enthusiast should arise very early on the morning of her departure for the hills, in order
to arrive by afternoon. Usually the bus driver attempts to make the trip without chains and finds to his
disappointment and disgust that the bus starts slipping backwards halfway around the hairpin turn. He then
spends approximately fifty-seven minutes adjusting the chains on the rear wheels. About this time one begins
to sense an empty feeling in her stomach. Oops! There goes one of the four sandwiches which she brought
along for lunch. The driver returns, and once again the journey is continued.
Suddenly the bus lurches forward, as if a great load had been lifted from the rear end. Well, whaddayu
know! The rope came undone, and there go twelve pairs of skis skimming back down the road. After spending
several hours rounding up the "straylings", the optimistic group is once again on its way.
With a minimum of motor trouble the bus reaches Government Camp, and the skier usually has one
sandwich left to save for later in the afternoon. Since she brought her own skis this time, it will not be neces­
sary to stand in line for two hours Happy day!

After waxin" the slats and adjusting the bindings, one finds that the sun will be down in two hours, so
that she must make tracks—off to Multorpor! It is usually much quicker and simpler to blaze a trail through the
woods and streams than to ski down the trail, around the curves, and over the washboards.

a

Once at the ski hill, one feels the need of another sandwich to give her strength for the great task
ahead. As the sun sinks over a distant peak, the aspiring slalom runner reaches the top of the slope,
after long and tedious hours herringbone-ing", and decides to walk down the hill and woit until next time
to practice the snowplow!

Dilemma
I realize there's need for rain;
The flowers have to grow;
The farmers need it for their crops —
Yes, all these things I know.
Of course if there should be no rain,
Our grass would turn quite brown;
And all the living plants and trees
Would wither in the ground.
But when we plan for rain eight months
And sun for only four,
Just when we’ve reached the picnic ground,
Why must it always pour!

—PATRICIA COSTELLO.

Mrs. O’s Nightmare
Newsboy:

(Wears small cap pulled over eyes and apron containing many papers.) Extra! Extra! Killer
McGoon escapes the pen! Read all about it! Ad lib. Enter Mrs. McTavish (fat, has been shopping
—thick Irish brogue) with Mrs. Murton (tall, has been shopping, also.)
Mrs. McT.: So, begorra, I says, a finer lad ne'er wooed our Rosie than Johnny McToole —
(interrupting) By the saints! D'ya hear that newsboy? Killer McGoon! Oh, Mrs. McTavish!
Mrs. M.:
Mrs. McT.: Sure n we must rush home n perteck the children. Oh, my poor Patrick — him on the force and
the killer bein' loose in Whittsenville. Hurry, Mrs. Murton;
I cannot hurry, Mrs. McTavish. That rheumatism in my clavicle II be the death of me —
Mrs. M -.
(Killer McGoon appears behind them, wearing conventional burglar attire — striped shirt, con
number still pinned to his back, and a mcsk and golf cap pulled down over his eyes. He listens
appreciatively to their conversation.)
Killer:
Ladies!
Mrs. McTavish and Mrs. Murton scream and run offstage, very much frightened.
(dead center) It's bad to be a killer; nobody'll be friends with ’ya. It sure is a lonesome profes­
Killer:
sion — I get so sad (weeping) and lonely —I guess I'll go rob something.
(Enter Red Riding Hood with basket.)
Oh, are you the big bad wolf?
Red:
Where are you going, little girl?
Killer:
To take these things to my grandmother. She is truly ill. Hey, are you the wolf?
Red:
Nope.
Killer:
Gee, I musta’ taken the wrong shortcut!
(Enter Grandmother in night dress.)
Red:
Granny.Red Riding Hood! You come here this instant! You're in the wrong play. You silly child—ad lib.
Killer:
Everybody tries to get into the act! Now— to rob the library — Arumph (aside to audience). Gee,
I’m scared! (Advances to chair and table marked "library" and "quiet"—librarian is there and
also a young girl.)
Librarian: (typical spinster) What can you be doing in the libe at this time of day, Rosie McTavish? You
oughta' be home. What'll people think? A young girl out after 5:30 by herself (stage whisper)
(sweet, pretty, innocent) I came to see the books. Of course, I can't read, but they're so purty —
Rosie:
(Enter Killer, tiptoe — sticks slingshot in Rosie's back.)
(aside) Ha! me proud beauty! (to the librarian) Reach!
Killer:
Librarian:
(screams) (to Rosie, stage whisper) Scream, you idiot! (Rosie screams.)
Killer:
Aw, shuddup. Reach or I’ll plug ya’ both with my trusty rusty musket. I mean my musket.
(Rosie and Librarian reach, wildly gesticulating.)
Killer:
Now, give me all the dough you got in that fine box, or I'll shoot this gal deader n a door knob
— nail, I mean, nail, that is. Hand it over, cutie! (Rosie screams.)
Librarian: (screams and extracts four pennies from box, giggles at being called Cutie, hands them to killer.)
Here, you brute!
Killer:
Hah! Now neither of ya- make a move till I say the word.
Librarian:
(frightened) What word?
Killer:
Oh, I don't know—any word. What word should I use? Say, I smell a rat. You're stalling for time.
I'm no fool. Turn around and face the wall, Cutie (librarian snickers). Don't move till I close the
door or I’ll kill ya' both
Rosie:
Oh, if John were only here! (dead silence—no movement) (louder) Oh, if John were only here!
(Enter John on play rocking-horse—He is a cowboy.)
John:
Here I am, gal! What seems to be troubling you?
Killer-.
Zounds! Foiled again! Here comes John on Charley-Horse1
Rosie:
Oh, John . . .
John:
Oh, so that's it! Well, Killer McGoon, you've met yer doom! I'm gonna tie you up and drag
you to jail!
Killer:
(scowls) There are strange things done under the midnight sun, but this beats 'em all! Can't even
rob the library in peace any more!
John:
Close yore tater trap, you heel! (dismounting). Here, Rosie, hold ma horse! (She holds it as
though if were a doll. He ties killer, drags h im offstage, re-enters quickly.)
Rosie:
Oh, John, you’re so brave and strong and handsome—
John:
D'ya luv me, gal?
Rosie:
Oh, yes, John —
John:
Wal, kees me babee; nuthin' makes me sick! (they embrace momentarily).
Librarian.Quiet in the library, please!
The End.
