STUDENT

BODY

Although St. Helen's Hall has always had its class officers and Student Council, until
the past year it has not had any organization in which every student might take part.
The senior class of 1934 felt this lack of self-government, therefore, under its supervision
the student body was originated and has become a permanent addition to our school
activities. Much of the credit for the success of our experiment should go to Dorothy
Hill, first Student Body President, and to Peggy Osborne, our present President. Under
their direction we have enjoyed monthly entertainments, dances, and benefit parties.

PROPHECY

;

OF

THE

SENIOR

CLASS

"^V^HILE sitting in my lonely study a few short nights ago,
w I wondered if ten years would fly or if it would seem slow.
Unconsciously I fell to thinking of this curious thing
And soon discovered I could fathom what passing years would bring.

II

First, across my mind there pass, alighting from a gurney,
Betty Baker and husband "four” on their wedding journey.

m

Helen Jenkins I recall. "At what is she most able?”
Imagination sees her managing her livery stable.

li

Other pictures swiftly fly across my shadowy stage.
Jean Moir, now leader of a band, draws a princely wage.
Gretchen Smith bears well the honors greatness brings her way,
And to her well-earned fame she adds new laurels every day
Edith Kolhase? ’Tis many a year since classmates saw her face.
A Duke’s undoing was her French; so in Paris lives Her Grace.

■

hi

II

Glaisyer’s sunny face does smile upon her audience
As they watch her with her lions, in horror and suspense.
Beeze and Sally live together and share each other’s labors;
They drink their tea and pet their cats and talk about their neighbors.

A;

Wahnita stands upon a corner with a tambourine;
A kind Salvation lassie is she. with her lovely mien.
Margaret’s fulfilled her youthful promise—an artist great is she.
She draws a charming baby cart, holding her youngest three.
"I'd rather be right than president,” Peggy used to say.
She’s president of the Waiters’ Union. Has she had her way?
A mighty speaker I encounter, master of men’s hearts,
Our old schoolmate, Billie Reynolds, selling apple tarts.
And Marty Burkhart, good old dame, is now a farmer’s wife.
She feeds the pigs and milks the cows and leads the "simple life.”
"Only standing room!” I hear; while the crowd does wildly call.
I stop, intrigued by the commotion, and find the star’s Pownall.
"What is Jobes’ profession now? Whatever does she do?”
"Esther teaches,” comes the answer, "Latin at the U.”
Doctor Watkins—says a sign. Then at a speed quite dizzy,
The doctor drives up to the door, and I recognize our Lizzie.
Grace as a missionary went to a cannibalistic nation
And made just seven courses for their jubilee collation.

!

!

Ruth Johnson, champion of her sex, upholder of their rights,
Splendid star of the rostrum, shines above the lesser lights.
Here is Dot on her vacation from the cares of state
As president of this great nation, on the New Deal slate.
A lone maid, Jean Bay, has wealth to make the heart rejoice.
She thought all the boys so handsome, she ne’er could make a choice.
Teachers, juniors, all the classes, sped through my fitful dream,
And then I wondered if in life all things are what they seem.
Ruth Smith, ’34.

CHAPEL
how many of us ever stop to consider how fortunate we are in being able
I WONDER
to attend services in our beautiful Chapel. It is, indeed, a pleasure to feel that, after
our Matins service, we have begun the day with God’s blessing. The idea of beginning
the school day with an appropriate morning service seems to lend an entirely different
tone to our whole day’s work.
We cannot help realizing, as we enter Chapel, wearing our veils—the organ softly
playing—the cross going on ahead—how beautiful and symbolic is the picture. It is a
pleasant thought that then, when we are all together, the true spirit of St. Helen’s Hall
is with us.
For, as we all know, the spirit of religious guidance is one of the fundamental prin­
ciples of St. Helen’s Hall. It is the realization of God’s eternal love and protection that
means much in all our lives.
As we, the class of 1934, leave the Hall and go out into the world, may that spirit
ever be with us, shining around us throughout the years to come—the true spirit of
Esther Jobes, ’34.

A

SHORT RESUME OF THE HISTORY
OF ST. HELEN'S HALL
"St. Helen s Hall was established originally as Spencer Hall in Milwaukee in 1861.
It was opened as St. Helen’s Hall in Portland in 1869 '—Quoted from the Seventh
Annual Convention Report, 1895.

OPENCER HALL was named for a Captain Spencer, who gave a generous sum for
^ establishing the school. His niece, Catherine Wolfe, contributed to the founding and
maintenance of St. Helen’s Hall a little later on.
The growth and development of the Hall is the outcome of the seed of faith planted
and nurtured by Bishop B. Wister Morris and his sister-in-law sixty-five years ago, just
a few years after the settlement of Portland itself.
The early history of the school is indeed interwoven with that of the city as a whole.
The ground upon which this original school was built was secured through the liberality7
of Mr John D. Wolfe and his daughter, Catherine, of New York City. St. Helen's Hall,
with. Miss Mary B. Rodney as the principal, was opened September 6, 1869, on the site
wluiv the present City Hall stands. She was educated at St. Mary’s Hall in Burlington,
New Jersey, and her idea was to found a St. Mary’s on the west coast. After she arrived,
however, she found a Roman Catholic Convent by the same name well established in
(his oty, so she decided to name the school after the Mother of Constantine the Great
who was converted to Christianity by him. This, coupled with the fact that the great
snow peak, St. Helen, overlooked the city as a sentinel, settled the question of the name.
The school progressed, blessed from the beginning, and for twenty-one years was main­
tained in its original location.
By 1890 Portland had become a large city. St. Helen's Hall was too much in the heart
of the business section and, as the site was wanted for the City Hall, it was sold. Property
was then secured on Vista Avenue—much against the comments and criticism of those
who felt that it would then be too far out in the country and quite inaccessible for day
students. Bishop Morris went right ahead, however, and laid the corner stone on June
9, 1890, with the same faith and courage as before. At this time, the school offered
primary, grammar, and high school grades. A little later on Miss Rodney felt this was
not sufficient, and a course was added which corresponded to the modern post-graduate
or collegiate courses. This advanced work has always been the aim of St. Helen's Hall.
Miss Mary B Rodney died April 15, 1896, and the work was carried on by her sisters,
the Misses Lydia and Clementina Rodney, until the close of the school year. The next
year Miss Eleanor Tebbetts became the principal until January, 1904, when, by the request
of the Board of Trustees, the Community of St. John Baptist took charge of the school.
In 1914 the St, Helen's Hall historic building was practically destroyed by fire. It
was deemed inadvisable to attempt to rehabilitate the edifice, and it was later razed to
the ground.
Preparations were made for carrying on the work of
the gymnasium in an adjoining block was utilized, and
housed the few boarding students, as Bishop Scadding
spring and Bishop Sumner had not yet come to the

the school. For temporary quarters
"Bishopcroft" on Portland Heights
had passed to his rest the previous
Diocese.

School opened September 13 for the regular fall term, the classes meeting in the
gymnasium. After Bishop Sumner came to the Diocese, the Boarding Department moved
to old "Bishopcroft” on 19th and Everett streets, and after various vicissitudes, arrange­
ments were made in 1918 to move the school to the present site, the old Portland
Academy. The building was rented till 1920, and, although it was purchased then as
a permanent home for the school, the large mortgage on it was not cancelled till March
4, 1927.

!

s

�I
As the school grew, the first crying need was for a separate building for the lower
school, as the rooms they occupied were really needed by the overflowing high school.
There also was needed a place for the entertainments, as the plays had to be given in our
open-air gymnasium, regardless of the weather, and dances were given in the study hall
This meant unscrewing desks and chairs, a big piece of work. So a combination building
to house the Lower School and to take care of all entertainment was erected. This proved
more than satisfactory for two years, and then again we had to enlarge the assembly hall
No sooner had we gotten all this to our satisfaction than we found ourselves confronted
with the necessity of enlarging our post graduate work.

'll

1
V

A new ruling was made by the University of Oregon that no credit would be given
for any post graduate work in any school after 1931, so it was decided in August. 1932
to start a Junior College.

i

This new venture was so favorably received in the city that the next school year we
had to close our Freshman enrollment for lack of room. The Lower School building
had to be given over to the College, and again, room for the children had to be made
in the high school building, thereby causing much overcrowding. Again we were faced
with building or giving up the college. Thus on December 28 ground was broken for
the new College wing, and when the girls returned from Spring Vacation. March 19.
the building was ready for occupancy.
On January 10, at a simple ceremony, attended by the faculty, student bodv. and
members of the Board of Trustees, Bishop Sumner turned the first official spade of earth
for the College chapel. By a stronge coincidence, Mary Janelle, who acted as Hag bearer
during the ceremony, is the daughter of Mrs. J. A Janelle, who attended the laying of
the cornerstone of the former St. Helen’s Hall, then situated on Vista Avenue and St
Clair Street, in 1890 by Bishop B. Wister Morris.

i

•i

This beautiful new chapel was opened with a special service at which Bishop Sumner
gave a short address, giving the keynote, so to speak, of this new venture.
The College offers a liberal arts course, and the majority of students pursue the general
curriculum in arrangement of courses based on this principle, that their first two years
should be devoted to obtaining a broad foundation of work in languages, literature,
science, the social sciences, and the two schools of Journalism and Home Economics.

i

The building has five science laboratories, stage and work room, large recreation hall,
executive offices, class and conference rooms, a college chapel and an assembly hall. In
this chapel we are putting a memorial window for Miss Mary Rodney from funds
collected for this purpose. The chapel holds the entire college and is being enthusias­
tically welcomed. Last but not least, there is a large library extending all across the
north end of the building, beautifully lighted and with a very useful and attractive
gallery. In this gallery we have put our small but valuable Rodney Memorial library
as a nucleus for future gifts.

This further development of the school enables it to extend its fields of usefulness.
St. Helen s Hall has been an important factor in the educational life of Oregon, and
the Junior College, the demand for which was so strongly manifested, is an example
of that importance. This added department is not in competition with the higher educa­
tional institutions, but is supplementary and auxiliary to them.
Our beautiful Lake Oswego place, secured three years ago for recreational purposes
for the school, is also much enjoyed by the college students. It is not strange that this
property, which was originally part of the seventy acres owned by the Diocese under
Bishop Scott in 1856, was sold by him for less than we paid for our beautiful but small
lots, because he considered the property but a wilderness which would never be developed.

j
;

We are hoping in the spring to have the formal function of the laying of the corner
stone, and as we are using the original stone of 1890, which ties up the present history
of the school with its historic past, we trust that we shall have with us on that occasion
many of the alumnae and others of all the classes from the beginning.

EDITORIAL
'SSJ7E, THE CLASS OF 1934, stand with eager feet, ready to step into the future
which holds for us so much—or so little. And perhaps it is because we suddenly
realize that no more as students may we wander happily through these familiar halls
that a seriousness steals over us. We look anxiously back into the years that we are
leaving behind. Have we appreciated our opportunities? Have we realized the true
importance of each day's offerings? A half fear takes possession of us, for at last we
know that it is for this unknown and mysterious future into which we must step that
the Sisters and the faculty of St. Helen's Hall have been endeavoring so earnestly to
make us ready.
If only we could live the four years over again, how truly splendid they would be!
This of course we cannot do, but we can say to the underclassmen, all of whom in the
course of time will stand where we stand today, "Follow' not in our footsteps, but in
the footsteps w'e wish, as we look longingly back, we had made." And we offer most
humbly this advice: "Take up each course with a cooperative spirit. Cooperate with the
instructor. It is for you she is working, not against you. See her point of view, and
then work with her earnestly and cheerfully to get all the good she is trying to give
’ We say this to you because we want you, when you are seniors, to look back
triumphantly over the four years you will be leaving behind.
1’ .s true that in spite of our indifference, our carelessness, our youthful lack of
appreciation, the Sisters and teachers have given us much, mentally, morally, and spirit­
ually, chat will help us to keep our feet firmly on the ground when we, with other men
and women, must meet the problems of life; and we wish to thank them for their
patience, their unselfishness, and their understanding.
And again from the bottom of our hearts, we say to those who are coming after us:
"Get the right ’set up’ for the ‘radios’ of your minds and hearts, so that, when you
tune in,’ the joy and wisdom which these dear old halls and class rooms hold for you
will not be lost in the noise of foolish ’static’."

EDITORIAL
CT. HELEN'S HALL as an educational institution is not antiquated and stagnant, but
^ living and growing. From the experiences of sixty-five years, it retains only that
which is useful in the educational world, and discards the useless and outworn. The
school is not a field for risky experiments, but is alive to the modern tempo, which is
reflected from the progressive Sisters and intelligent faculty to the receptive students.
While we have attended St. Helen’s Hall during the past four years, the school has
been enormously improved and enlarged. In the high school division, Alpha Theta, the
school athletic club, has been formed, and the Student Body Organization has been
established. A great new project, the St. Helen’s Hall Junior College, has been conceived
and established during the past two years. Within these two years, a faculty has been
built up, a library collected, the new building completed, and the college accredited.
We who have been students of St. Helen's Hall during these years are very proud
of what has been accomplished. We are happy to have attended the school during this
period of creative growth. Yet growth is not unusual for St. Helen’s Hall. The girls
who attend this school know that those who administer its policies are never quite
satisfied with its enormous progress. They are always building, rebuilding, changing,
creating. As long as this spirit predominates, St. Helen’s Hall will progress and will
become an increasingly vital educational force.

BAGUIO

A N ORIENTAL market place! Brilliant and noisy, seething under the tropic sun.
A myriad of colors, a babble of strange tongues, a commingling of unpleasant odors
—this is the Baguio market.
I soon begin to distinguish separate details amidst the terrific din and the bizarre melee
of the market place. Everyone has come to do his weekly shopping. Above the sounds
of squealing pigs and crying children, the natives haggle over prices or exchange the
latest gossip. But these natives are strange people. Most colorful among the throngs
are the Igorotes, come in from the mountains, head hunters, some of them, to this day.
Their squat bodies bend under staggering loads, as they hurry to and fro. They look
twice as ferocious as the more numerous Tagalogs, who appear more prosperous and
civilized, some of them even wearing American garments. These superior persons strut
about the market place, the envy of all. Liberally interspersed among the crowd are
miscellaneous, fat brown babies, who toddle about, looking exactly alike. It yet remains
a mystery to me how they are distinguished from one another.
Having become accustomed to these strange people, I turn my attention ro the indis
criminately displayed wares offered for sale. Beside a tempting melon or box of famous
Baguio strawberries, the artistic shopkeeper places a basketed pig, for sale and above
the rest he arranges his most delicate orchids. The buyer is lured, according to his taste,
by the pig or the flowers. Within the hot, stuffy stall is displayed everything h&gt;r which
Luzon is famous—silver and copper ornaments, carved shells and mother-of-p^.rl objects,
Igorote cloth, so much in demand in our own country, and grotesquely carved statues
and figurines from the mountain tribes. The last fascinate me most, although the
wicked-looking bolo knives of all sizes claim some attention. My imagination makes
the atmosphere suddenly ominous; so I rush back into the safety of the noise and glare
and confusion.
Dozens upon dozens of similar stalls compose the market. On its outskirts the poorer
sellers spread their wares under the blazing sun. The brilliant colors of their wares
give the effect of beds of tropical plants, suddenly sprung from the ground.
As I leave the market by one of the narrow streets of picturesque Baguio, I am con­
scious of having visited an alien, truly foreign place. I go, treasuring a unique memory,
for the influence of modern civilization is already creeping in—slowly, but inevitably.

OF

A

FRIEND

TT WAS in nineteen hundred and thirty-one we met, just three years ago. No three
years could ever bring to me a friend more dear.
"Love is prone to magnify," but magnify as it may, it will never be able to reflect the
true character of Helen. The depth which lies beneath her sunny smiles can be com­
prehended only through years of sincerest friendship. Robert Louis Stevenson tells us,
"If we could find but one to whom we can speak but of our heart freely, with whom
we can walk in love and simplicity without dissimulation, we could have no ground of
quarrel with the world or God!"
To me Helen is beautiful. Her whole being breathes a gentle sweetness. She lends
a charm, delicate and indefinable, to all. If one is sad, she gives a tender understanding
and comfort. She shares one's joys with unselfish enthusiasm—making the happiness of
the occasion more radiant with her warmth.
Her ideals are high, and she raises others to her standard, not by idle, useless words
but by actions accordant with her ideals.
I wish that all might know her as I know her, love her as I love her, "for her friendship
is and always will be a light to guide me on my way."
Peggy Bernard, 35.

APPRECIATION

�ON

LOVE

When I consider love and its few days:
A wreath of smoke that lingers in our eyes,
A kiss chat burns before the passion dies,
A winter sun that shines with heatless rays,
A mask of pretense which our faith betrays,
A spell that's quickly cast and swiftly flies
And leaves us asking—hearing no replies,
I wonder that we seek love’s restless ways.
Oh, peace, the heritage of yester-year,
The alabaster stillness Athens taught,
The waves that beat eternally on the shore,
The calm beyond our passion’s troubled sphere,
Release us from these gusts of reckless thought,
And give us of thy beauty evermore.
Betty Watkins, '34.

AN

INDIAN

LEGEND

j^ONG ago, when Indians were the happy possessors of much of this western country,
die Oswego Indians, after whom the town of Oswego is named, were camped on the
bluffs above the lake. The chief of this tribe had a marriageable daughter, White Moon.
Her father had selected for her husband, Waluga, a shrewd, sly warrior, the leader of
seven i ndependent tribes. This wedding was much favored by the great chief because it
would increase the size of Ins already immense clan.
Tor many months it had seemed that White Moon would marry a young Indian from
a far-off land whom every one knew she loved dearly. He was generally popular, but
all the Indians wished White Moon to marry a man of their own tribe and to bear a
son to grow up and become the successor of the Great Chief. White Moon was ordered
never to see the young warrior again; so he returned with a sad heart to his own tribes,
and after some months it was rumored that he had been killed in war. White Moon
received the news quietly, letting no one see the sorrow that filled her heart.
Days passed and preparations for the wedding with Waluga were completed. The
day of the ceremony was at hand.
The great group of Indians, gathered upon the cliff over hanging the lake, were con­
scious of the beauty of the night. The moon was slowly rising through the sky, and the
water shimmered in its rays. The Indians danced about the fire to the music of their
own singing and that of the tomtoms. In a large but somewhat smoky tent White Moon
sat, receiving her last blessings from the medicine man. She was dressed in the splendor
which the Indian ceremony demanded.
The singing had become louder and louder, and then suddenly it stopped. The moon
had reached its height, and instinctively all eyes turned toward the tent of White Moon.
She had stepped from its entrance and was walking majestically toward the raised mound
at the edge of the cliff. She was accompanied by several Indian maidens, walking
slowly at her side. From the other direction Waluga and the Great Chief approached.
Suddenly a tall Indian youth stepped from the shadows. For an instant White Moon
paused; then, with a cry of joy she ran into the outstretched*arms of the young warrior.
The great group of Indians sat as if spellbound, watching the lovers. And then—before
any one realized what was happening—the two figures leaped hand in hand over the
edge of the cliff and vanished beneath the sparkling waters. Although the Indians
searched, they never found a sign of the young couple.
It is a legend among the Indians that the young warrior had returned from the "Happy
Hunting Ground" for White Moon and that he carried her back where they could live
forever in eternal happiness.

HAMLET,

THE

IDEALIST

■

IDEALIST? Yes, Hamlet was just that. He had idealized life since childhood.
He believed everyone to be like himself, honest, straightforward, and idealistic..
All his life he had loved and respected his father and mother. Never had he known
sadness or evil. The sudden death of his father, followed by the hast)' marriage of his
mother, broke down his faith in human nature. What is sadder than an idealist disillu­
sioned? What did life hold for him? He knew that it was his duty to avenge his
father s murder, and at first he acted as though he might accomplish his purpose. But
having lived an intellectual life, having read book after book, having thought deeply
on many subjects, he could but stop to consider all angles of the case. He planned so
many courses of action that he did not have the power of pursuing any particular one.
In the first place, his deep moral sense made murder repulsive to him. Even though
Hamlet hated Claudius for killing his father, he recoiled from avenging the murder.
Hamlet had no one with whom he could talk over this terrible duty. He first turned
to his love, Ophelia, but when he learned that she was a tool in the king's and Polonius’
hands, he became still more embittered. The courtiers, quite ordinary people, could not
understand his motives and feelings, his scruples and hesitations. Many of them could
have met a practical crisis in life much better than could this gentle idealist.
Once Hamlet had shrunk from immediate action, he exhausted his imagination thinking
of excuses to avoid the necessity of revenge. He feigned madness, so that he could
fight out the battle with himself. It also gave him the opportunity to relieve ins troubled
mind by making ironical thrusts at those whom he despised.
During his pretended madness, he was thinking always of other ways of postponement.
He made himself believe that he was acting wisely in proving without a doubt that the
spirit which had appeared to him had accused Claudius justly. Naturally, being inter­
ested in the stage, he realized that the play was the thing wherein he would catch the
conscience of the king. His plan was successful, and the obstacle of doubt was removed
from Hamlet's mind.
But soon after, when he had his chance to kill Claudius, while the latter was praying,
he did not take it. He let this great opportunity go by, covering his weakness with his
excuses.
True, in the end he did kill the king with an impetuous blow. But the damage had
been done. Ophelia's sad fate, the deaths of Polonius, Laertes, Gertrude, Rosencrantz,
and Guildenstern were all the result of the fact that Hamlet was an idealist, a dreamer,
a thinker, a planner, but not an actor. Only for Hamlet himself was the fatal blow "a
consummation devoutly to be wished.”
Gretchen Smith, '34.

GOING

TO

BED

TYO YOU like to go to bed, too? I am simply choked with pleasure at the idea of a
nice cold bed when there are a comfy chair, soft music, and a book to read After
the set hour of 9:30 it is hard for my mother to resist the attraction of bed for me.
I am told in so many words to retire before that proverbial lamb even has time to shake
its tail. Even when upstairs and near my goal, I invariably think of one hundred and
one last-minute details to attend to:
My teeth need brushing for about the sixth time.
My eyes have suddenly become tired and need to be bathed.
My stockings must be washed, or I will have to go minus them the next day.
And last, but not least, I must spend an hour writing in my masterpiece, my diary.
My goodness! Here I am in bed at last. Ah, but wait; the light isn't out yet. I do
believe the switch has caught, as it just won't pull out. Well, I might have known
mother would have no trouble in pulling it
i out. It's dark; a little breeze is coming
through the open window and rustling the curtains; the moon is shining. I feel the
nearness of the sandman; my eyes are closing; things seem to float farther away. Hum,
I must ha-ve be-en sleepy af-ter a-1-1. Oh, I forgot. Mother, may I have a drink?
Nancy Anne Hilton, '35:

AAOTHER just baked a lot of doughnuts; she shouldn’t mind losing them, cause
she'll be getting rid of us kids. If she loved us, she wouldn’t have punished us
for not doing our lessons.”
Yes, she doesn’t love us any more. We’ll run away from here; then she won t have
to bother with us anymore! Cmon, Evelyn! How many doughnuts did you take?
Five? I get another, then. Yes, I’m coming.”
The sun was hot and dazzling. Not a breath of air stirred the tall grass along the
road Butterflies hovered lazily over the daisies, and the bees hummed busily among the
cool, red clover blossoms.
After walking for half an hour, the children began to trudge falteringly and to sigh
heavily.
” Evelyn."
"Yes."
"Aren’t you awful hot?”
"Yes,”
"Don’t you think it’s been two or three hours since we left?”
"Yes.”
"I’m awful hungry.”
"So am I. Let’s stop under the next tree and eat our lunch. Oh, look! It’s going to
rain! Come on; let’s run.”
Two unhappy girls huddled under the oak tree, an excellent sunshade, but an impractical umbrella. The rain poured down in torrents, and they were miserably wet.
Too despondent to see him, they were surprised by the appearance of a horseman,
staring at them in astonishment.
T.velyn, what is the meaning of this? Does Mother let you play this far from home?
he asked.
’ Oh, Daddy, we were r—,’’ began Jean.
"Daddy, we went out for a—for a walk, and it started to rain,” interrupted Evelyn.
"Well, come with me. Evelyn, you get behind, and Jean, you here,” he said.
As they ran to the horse, Evelyn whispered, "Jean, don’t you dare tell anyone we were
running away!”

EVENING

AT

HOME

Once upon an evening drear)', while I pondered, warm and weary,
O er my History, French, and English, o’er my tales of Greece of yore,
While I read of Romans battling, suddenly there came a rattling
As of some one loudly knocking, knocking at my bedroom door.
Tis, I vowed, "my small, bad brother, knocking at my bedroom door,
Only he and no one more.’’
Sis, he called, and then repeated, "Sis, you know right well you’re needed
In the kitchen down below." Then he left. I heard no more.
Then indeed was I affronted, ’fronted just because he wanted
Me to work my radio, which stood inside my bedroom door,
Work it so that he could listen to the programs heard before.
This he wanted, nothing more.
To my books once more returning, thoughts of him and dishes spurning,
Once more living days of old, winning fights of mud and gore,
Once again was I unconscious of the dishes—so obnoxious,
When again I heard him rattling, rattling at my bedroom door.
"Curses!" thought I, and still wondered what he wanted at my door.
"Leave!" I cried, "forever more.”
"Well," I thought, "we can’t be parted" (for I always was soft-hearted),
And I very sweetly opened, opened wide my bedroom door.
With a loud and cheery whistle, while I scribbled this epistle,
He made lots of noise and said, "Please don’t let me be a bore."
But I’m deaf to all the clamor of a brother I adore.
And I’m glad I have no more.
(With apologies to Edgar Allen Poe)
Dorothy Furnish, ’35.

PENNY

WHISTLE

XTOISE! Crowds laughing, shouting, hurrying and bustling, enjoying every moment
^ of the noon-day rush, oblivious to the sun beating down on the cobblestones,
oblivious to the dust raised by the huge vans. A siren blares forth its note of danger,
and that white conveyance of precious life, watched in awed silence by the throng of
pedestrians and motorists, goes on its swift journey. In the distance the long, drawn-out,
melancholy warning that issues from the daily limited draws as a magnet those unfortu­
nates who are always tardy boarding trains. Bong, bong, bong, the clock high in the
court-house adds its share to the din. A strident shrill blast again and again, more vocif­
erous each time, calls the relaxed workers back to their posts in the big, black factor)'
Clang, clang, clang, the fire-department hurries on its way.
Noise, hear, dust—everywhere confusion. In its midst stands the newsboy, as detached
from the hubbub as from the rushing torrents of life described in his papers. With an
expectant though slightly grubby smile, he proffers his wares to the hurrying passers-by.
Only the most hard-hearted can resist his "Wouldjer loik ter buy a poiper, Mister?"
The bank directors buy their daily quota; the office-girl in well-pressed black stops for
her copy; the salesmen pick up their source of local information as they rush off the
afternoon train. Only three papers left now! With sudden generosity a school girl buys
the lot, to be rewarded by a toothless grin.
The papers sold, the urchin, proud as Jupiter, goes swaggering down the street. How
will he spend his profit? Practical little tyke! He goes into a bakery for a loaf of
bread, baked two days ago, and then into the butcher shop for scraps of meat for stew.
Past the hardware-store with its intriguing line of "bikes” and "wagons." Now away

�to the grocer’s for dried onions and six large potatoes. He seems pitifully grown-up,
counting his change with his tiny, capable fingers. After a longing glance at the delec­
table dainties in the sweet-shop, he enters the "five and ten." Here no boy can resist
the desire to explore. Up and down., up and down he loiters, gravely gazing at the
astonishing array of bargains. He meets the temptation of the fascinating display of
shiny bright red, green, and blue whistles, counts his money, then shrugs his shoulders
manfully and starts off with his mouth puckered in an attempt to whistle the way the
big fellows do. Around the counters, looking, looking, he hesitates; but he returns,
determined, to the wonderful whistles. His eyes shine with eager anticipation; he buys
a red one. He can hardly wait until he will be able to unwrap it. Still practical, he saves
the string, and now—"toot-de-toot, tooi-de-toot." He fondles it almost reverently, and
with a little skip, he goes hippety-hopping across the street with his newly-bought toy.
How proud he is of his very own whistle! Only a penny whistle, but to the newsboy
Mary Alice Enos, ’35
it I- the most fascinating of his too few possessions.

NOTRE

DAME

AS THE sun sinks over the busy city of Paris, it casts huge, weird shadows on the
** ^ stately old cathedral, Notre Dame. This cathedral looms out against the quickly
fad mg sky like a huge monster above a dense forest. It towers high over the densely
populated city at its feet.
lor many, many centuries it has stood just as it stands today, stately, dignified, and
awe-inspiring. Built over six centuries ago, it has survived wars, revolutions, and other
disasters and is today the National Cathedral of France. King and peasant alike marvel
at the beauty and splendor of this grand old place.
Standing guard at the entrance to the cathedral are three rustic iron doors, which have
resisted hate in time of need and have admitted love when it sought admission. The
inside of the cathedral is gorgeous, yet as desolate as though the monster had lost its
earthly soul. Perhaps the impression results from the twilight’s casting a dusky light
over the church or from the immensity and loneliness of the cathedral. In the nave,
Napoleon Bonaparte was crowned ruler of France, and Mary Queen of Scots was married.
Several flights of narrow, steep stairs lead onto the roof of Notre Dame. There is
no light except a faint golden glow that is cast on the clouds by the rapidly sinking
sun. Far down are the noisy, busy streets of Paris, a world completely separated from
the dark stone cathedral which casts a shadow of utter gloom upon all those who enter
its realm Hundreds of leering gargoyles intensify this weird and lonely feeling. For
many centuries these horrid creatures have mocked at the people in the streets below.
As it becomes dark, the frightful creatures are left to dominate the roof as they have
for countless centuries. Black shadows take form and creep about the deserted nave.
With its immense towers, now silhouetted against the glow of the bright city light,
the church seems indeed like a soulless monster. The cathedral is vividly alive and has
stood for many centuries, watching the joys and tragedies of human life. So will it
ever stand in all its glory and mystery'.
Billie Reynolds, ’34.

PEACE
In quietness and peace of mind
I poise beside a shady tree,
And in a joy of silent kind
I dive. The water welcomes me,
The water, clear and limpid green.
With weeping willows on each side,
The mossy slopes and low banks seem
Like day dreams as I by them glide.
Ankey Larrabde, ’37.

DIANE

AND

THE

PRINCE

Hr HE Hamadryads in the oak trees were all very sad one day. In fact, they were so
A sad that they cried all day long. Night soon came, and Pan, a little elf, blew his
tiny horn. All the little Hamadryads came out of their trees. They took hands and
made a circle to dance. They soon forgot that the)' had been sad. Pan always made
them happy.
That night a prince came through the woods riding on a horse. He saw the little
Hamadryads dancing and Pan blowing his horn. One of the Hamadryads, named Diane,
was most beautiful. The Prince noticed her the first thing. He rode over and picked
her up. The Prince thought that he wanted to take Diane home with him because she
was so beautiful and lovely. He asked her if she would go back to the castle with him.
Diane said, "I must ask Pan, our king, if I may go.”
"I will ask him,” said the prince. He jumped off his horse and went over to Pan
and said, "May I take this beautiful lady home with me?”
"Yes,” said Pan, "but if she is going to live with earthly people, I must change her
into your size.”
"Are you willing?” pleaded the prince.
"Yes, I am,” said the little Hamadryad.
How happy they were as they rode back to the palace. The king was very much
pleased to have such a beautiful bride for his son. A beautiful wedding was arranged
for them, and all the people of the kingdom came. The people at the wedding thought
that the new princess was very lovely.
They lived very happily from then on, and Diane’s little woodland friends often
came to see her.

MARY

ANNA

C^VNE starry Saturday night Mary Anna lay asleep in the ash can. Beside her lay Snook,
'^'a large calico cat, with one ear missing and whiskers gone.
Wake up, Mary Anna; something is coming around the bend in the alley," said Snook
rather angrily. "Wake up, lazy bones."
Yes, I am awake, cross patch," said Mary Anna, making her patchwork eyes roll.
"Look at the spotted horse and express wagon coming in here! See, it is driven by such
a strange little old man!”
The express wagon drew up near the ash can, and the queer old man jumped out.
He had a long red nose, a big wide mouth, and a painted cap cocked on his head. His
little coat was red, and his breeches just reached the tops of his little white kid shoes.
i

"Oh, here you are," he said. "My name is Junk, and I have come to take you to
Junkland."
He- lifted them both out of the ash can into the wagon, in which there were many
other dolls.
Mary Anna made friends right away, for she was such a darling old rag doll.
Now, if you were to go to Junkland, you would see Mary Anna making cookies in
a bright kitchen and Snook fast asleep in a big cozy chair.

I was very happy as a pupil of St. Helen’s Hall to spend some of my time in helping
to make Hallowe’en gifts for the Fruit and Flower Mission. Ar Thanksgiving we brought
clothes and food.
We enjoyed making our gifts at Christmas time. They were candy candles made of
red stick candy, marshmallows, and green life savers.
Toward the end of the year we will make albums for some foreign country.
In it we will put pictures of Oregon and some of our school work. In return they
will send us pictures of their country and some of their school work.
I am now helping to make two lovely baby quilts. I hope the little children who
receive these gifts will be as happy in using them as I was in helping to make them.

^^NCE upon a time, a long while ago there lived on earth a race of people who
worshipped the Goddess, Diana, of the sun and the God, Carlan, of the moon.
Goddess Diana was very vain and beautiful. She declared that she should be in the sky
all the time to light the clouds. God Carlan was just as conceited. He wanted to light
the sky alone and to show the people how handsome he was. Neither one would give
up, so all the clock around both of them were in the sky. The light was so strong that
the people’s crops dried.

IMPRESSIONS

Marion Rosenblatt has been a very faithful player. She is always willing to substitute
any position.
Betty Lou Roberts, Carolyn Kamm, and Peggy Lou Smith are the prospective side
centers for next year. This is an important position and means real work.
Georgia Littlepage is working hard as guard. We are glad she has won her letter.
Dorothea James is the only Freshman on the school team. She has surprised us all
by her coolness and speed in guarding her opponent. We think she will make an out­
standing guard.
Nan A. Knapp, Coach.

GAME

OF

THE

SEASON

The first game was played with St. Helen’s Hall Junior College. The Junior College
showed excellent cooperation, considering the short time they have practiced together.
The score was 27-7 in the Hall's favor. The College girls showed fine sportsmanship
and seemed determined to break our record in a return game.

ST. HELEN'S HALL VS.

HOLY CHILD

This game was very fast. Both teams fought hard and used their passing to advantage.
Our team again won a victory with a score of 37-23.

ST.

of the fine coaching of Mrs. Knapp, the Hall was once more victorious, the final score
being 44-17.

�ST.

WITH

REED

APPRECIATION

We, the girls of St. Helen’s Hall, wish to express our appreciation of our gym teacher,
Mrs. Knapp, who for many years has been our loving friend and inspiring instructor.
She has devoted unlimited time to the perfecting of our passes and baskets, and but
for her untiring patience, our school could never have attained the athletic fame of
which it can be truly proud. We feel that it is a privilege to work under her direction.

&lt;?

VOLLEY

BALL

Many interesting games were played between the College and High School. They
were so very closely matched in skill that the competition was exciting. Under the lead­
ership of Mrs. Knapp, the girls perfected their game.

FENCING
Fencing was a favorite sport this year. Many of the girls turned out with enthusiasm.
Under the instruction of Mr. Knapp, the girls made much progress. Mr. Knapp arranged
bouts for the championship, which was won by Ruth Smith.

The little girl had been naughty in school. By way of punishment, she was directed
by the teacher to remain in her seat after the session until she had written an original
composition containing not less than fifty words. In a surprisingly short space of time,
she offered the following, and was duly excused:
I lost my kitty, and I went out and called, "Come, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty,

the first story, the second, and the attic—all in vain. Finally she climbed to the trap

The teacher directed the class to write a brief account of a baseball game. All the
pupils were busy during the allotted time, except one little boy, who sat motionless and
wrote never a word. The teacher gave him an additional five minutes, calling them off
one by one. The fifth minute had almost elapsed when the youngster awoke to life
and scrawled a sentence. It ran thus:
"Rain—no game."

The cultured maid servant announced to her mistress, wife of the profiteer;
If you please, ma am, there’s a mendicant at the door.''

              <text>This is an OES yearbook from 1934. The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. St. Helen's Hall was an all-girls school that pre-dated Oregon Episcopal School. In 1969, the yearbook evolved into The Legend-Delphic with the addition of Bishop Dagwell Hall and male student attendees. After 1986 the yearbook branding begins to singularly list "OES" with a few volumes referencing "The Delphic" or "The Legend Delphic". Yearbooks helped to chronicle the school year's events and activities, in addition to listing each student and staff member.</text>
