This year the Council, which was composed of fifteen members of the Senior class and a representative from each of the other classes, was under the leadership of Peggy Bernard as president and Dorothy Furnish as vice-president. We feel that the Student Council this year has been a success, and we have tried to prove that with the cooperation and loyalty of the girls an effective student government can prevail. �!§ : i| i..« ! : !i : i pj | !ai i ■ .

We feel that this year it has had a repeated success in the fact that it has promoted more school activities, giving everyone an opportunity to share them. At the first of the year a school paper was organized, which has been kept up by our capable editor, Phyllis Elder. At Christmas time, a party was given by the Student Body for some poor children, also some additions have been made to the school for the welfare of the students. Two dances were given by the Student Body along with other activities. Laddie Green was president the first term, and Peggy Carleton the second term. T i!i iS i * I JM hi !' '!! ! : Ml ■;!

Phyllis Elder was elected editor. Marguerite Peters was elected assistant editor, and a large staff was appointed. The paper has given the girls a fine opportunity to express themselves. It has also given those on the staff ex­ perience in editing a paper, for they have mimeographed it themselves. A great deal of credit for the paper’s success should he given to Phyllis Elder who has worked hard to make it interesting. Congratulation to the members of this year's staff and good luck to the “Blotter” for the coining year! 1 �! j : V '' i i* Jian ^hcims For fourtee n years, Nan Adams Knapp taught the gym­ nasium classes here at St. Helen’s Hall. The impression she left on the mind of each girl who came in contact with her was one of sympathetic understanding of girls. Each girl knew that at all times she could confide in Mrs. Knapp and receive competent advice. Mrs. Knapp was a splendid coach and her inspiration and direction made our basketball team one of the strongest in the city for many years. Every girl who knew Mrs. Knapp is proud to have had her friendship and grateful to her memory for having enriched the lives of all of us. ; ;= ! ' i ��i!

Mv Dear Jan: : ; : 5} l : ! .! i ■ i \ "V\ THILE I was waiting for the Coast Express, which as usual was delayed bv ▼ V the storm conditions over the mountains, I decided to wander into the library to while the time away. 1 went into the periodical room where the headlines from papers gathered from all over the world attracted my attention. Imagine my great surprise to find on one of the prominent New York papers the picture of one of the ’35 graduates of St. Helen's Hall. It was that of the former Laddie Green, who is now the Queen of Timbuctu! Was I astonished! In the same paper I noticed one of the clever cartoons done by the famous Dorothy Furnish. There was a notice of the promotion of Phyllis Elder to the position of head announcer of the Pepsodent Hour, and, by the way. I see by the advertisements that Peggy Bernard is their Prize Picture Poster Girl. This promised to be so interesting that I decided my time was being veil spent and I began to look on in earnest, to sec \vhat I could find of the rest of that class. I saw in the Viennese news that Anne Bcrkcy is making great headway in career as an opera singer. In the notices of that paper I also ran across an account of the new Silly Symphony being produced in German by its originator. Phyllis Grenfell, who plays all the piccolo accompaniments herself. I noticed in a paper from Calcutta, a rather old one at that, that Jeanne and Lucile Latourette are spending some time at the palace of the Rajah, where Jeanne is teaching the royal wives the art of bleaching their hair, and Lucile is learning the authentic way to charm snakes. Also from the Oriental Journal of Shanghai. I find that Jane Mount is very successful in her venture of trying to edit a Chinese “College Humor". Lillian Brooke is the Matron of the new Manila Children's Home, so the paper says. And now to return to the United States, where in the papers from the west coast I find that Geraldine Hanny has organized a fine circus in which she shows the terror-striking Brutus, the cruel man-eating lion, and his harem. Maryalice Enos has charge of the tight-rope-walking section of the outfit, and Anita Cadonau does a toe-dance in between acts. Strangely, too, I find the picture of Nathalie Lewis on the sport page, for Nathalie is the new manager of a widely known base­ ball team. News flash from Paris! Peggy Krumbein, who always did have high aspira­ tions. is a highly praised poetess. Margaret Mary Mann is mentioned for creating a new device whereby the visitors of the Eiffel Tower, where she is head elevator girl, can have restful music on the trips up and down in the elevators. Byrl Browne, who lives in Lyons, owns an exclusive shop where she models Dr. Locke's shoes: she also goes around to the hospitals where she demonstrates. I found among these papers a late paper from Holland, where I see Marion Siegfried has opened a new dairy farm, and her partner is Elizabeth Stone, who is veterinary for the bovine population. From the Lithuanian papers I gleaned this information. Marion Rosenteachers* speed prize, for she is teaching a school of her own there now. Nancy Hilton is conducting a dancing school in Barcelona where no less a young person than the son of Fred Astaire is in training. From the Lithuanian papers I gleaned this information, Marian Rosen­ blatt has syndicated her famous "Tell Auntie" column. Then I found this news in the paper from right here in Chicago—Dorothy Good is in her tenth year as the �THE DELPHIC , 21 head telephone operator in the great Grain Exchange Building. Margaret Hoi lord has an option on the comic section of the New York Times and tries out all her humor on the Young Peoples Corrective School, which is in charge of another of the girls from that same class, Mary Kav Shoemaker. Mary Louise Blodgett has been promoted to the rank of General in the Salvation Army, and no doubt that lassie spends many a sleepless night over her former class-mates, And by the way. Jan, I heard that Helen Stone was left more than a million dollars at the death of her husband, the late Sir Skeiton Thursly, the Cream of Asparagus Soup King. Mary Helen Pruitt, who always had a wish to travel, now probably does it on the ocean floor; for I see that her husband, William Beebe Jr. has made several trips to the bottom of the sea lately, accompanied by her. In the latest paper from the growing metropolis of Dufur, I see that its prominent citizen, Peggy Carleton, lias written the final chapter in her outstanding book, “The True Life of the Old Grey Mare.” She must have to work very hard, for she also edits a monthly agricultural paper called "What's What in Wheat.” I think bv the things I have read that most of the girls must be happy in their chosen fields, don’t you? It certainly seems that most of them have fulfilled their wishes for travel and lots of it for they seem to be widely scattered over the earth’s surface. Well. I think I shall close now. for we seem to be arriving at the airport. Write to me soon and tell me the news of some of the other girls we used to know.

Think of the opportunities offered to the young woman of today as compared with those offered her grand­ mother. Today the young woman graduating from high school has her choice of going to work immediately or of attending college and then entering any one of the many fields offered to the modern young woman. Women of the twentieth century have many of the same opportunities in the business world, the political world, the social world, and the economic world as do the men. and it is up to us, the coming generation, to carry on the excellent reputation already acquired by the women of this generation. When our grandmothers finished high school, very few of them went on to institutes of higher learning. They either got married, taught school, or became old maids, h was considered a disgrace for a woman to have to work to support hersel f. And so. with the preparation given us here at St. Helen's Hall, let us, the graduating class of June, 1935, face the future with eagerness and with the assur­ ance that we arc equipped to live our lives intelligently and modernly. Editor-in-Chief. i > i II : ■1 ■ | . m j ! ■ i I 1 ! Editorial V\ 7rHHX one is about to write her last composition as a student, it might be VV expected that some tribute be paid to the school which received her in girl­ hood, and sent her forth in womanhood. The poetical beauties of Keats, the pro­ found depths of Wordsworth or the logical analysis of Carlyle might each claim their portion of the acknowledgment. But believing that the more lasting monu­ ment to the worth of our school can be built by an adherence to the truths which it has and ought to teach, and by such a moulding of our lives, that in the years to come it can point with pride to its children. I shall dedicate this to my class­ mates. In all probability, we shall never again be assembled. Some will answer the call of life from afar; some will find fame and honor; others will take their places among the silent and obscure workers of the world; but no matter where we arc, when we experience in different ways the tense excitement of a basketball game, the dread of exams, the impatient waiting for report cards or the thrill of com­ mencement, our thoughts will often be together.

His mouth was filled with the “pearls of great price” which jwereANUARY the pride and joy of all the Blackfeet. His trousers were ragged, his feet hare, hut his heart was singing, for he was going to the “Big House" in one more week to be a page boy for Master Ben, his one ideal. January went humming down the road as fast as his legs could carry him, trying to beat his shadow along the lane, for though Jan was old enough to know better, he was still afraid, just a tiny bit, of oY man shadow’s reaching out to grab the one and only authentic shadow January Blackfeet possessed. “Mammy's goin’ ta mek a lil* shortnin’. shortnin’, Mammy’s goin' ta mek a lil’ shortnin’ bread !’’ sang January at the top of his lungs as he neared the cabin which was home to Mammy Blackfeet and her army of children. "January! January!” called Mammy from the lean-to kitchen. “Did yo fetch me thet lil’ piece of wool Ah asks yo to?” “Yah, Mammy, it’s raht her’ in mv pocket, an’ do yo know what Marse John done tol' me?

C’mon, January, you and the Master will be great pals!” Mary Helen Pruitt, ’35. �H THE DELPHIC i 27 : ! Rest by the Roadside T-J OVV much or how little the meaning these few words, "Rest by the Roadside", can convey. To one, the wayfarer weary with life’s struggles, too, it is not only "Rest by the Roadside" but beauty in contemplation as well; and I have in mind the person who filled the lowly task of hod carrier and who has recently been awarded the coveted prize offered by the Denver Artists’ Guild for the most outstanding paint­ ing of the year. This man, humble and self-taught, painted in oils on cardboard cut from a box and enclosed in a crude, hand wrought frame, a phantasy in green, a pastoral sonnet of grassy retreat—the picture of one of his childhood haunts, where, as he says, he spent many happy boyhood hours. In the sunset of his life, despite eighty-two years of menial labor, he has been able to reproduce in livid colors, this fond memory which he affectionately calls. "Rest by the Roadside”. How beautiful it must be when one nearing the end of this earthly journey, is able to recall from the recesses of his mind and memory the imprint of true beauty made in early youth. How beautiful that a rendezvous in youth can to old age be a "Rest by the Roadside". Caroline Stratton, ’35. I ; ! lil: : •! \ . : ! Ill The Orient The delicate odor of cherry trees, The beauty of Orient eyes, The fragrant wind as it gently sighs And opens a bud in passing by. The wave of an ancient fan, A running jinrick-sha man, A thousand faces, not one old. Pearls, ivory, ebony, and jade, Trinkets of polished or dull, old gold. Incense rising will slowly fade Like to romance never told. Tiny tinkling temple bells, A jeweled crescent moon hung high In a grayish violet velvet sky— Dreams! Rattish, withered yellow men, Scurrying down a narrow street Past a smoky opium den, Their dodging journey to complete.

If 1 hadn’t loved her. I would never have gone to visit her aunt. It all came about this way. Jack received a letter from his aunt, whom he had never seen, telling him she was very lonely and pleading with him to visit her during the spring vacation. “If I don’t hear from you.” she said, "I’ll expect you on March 25.” However. Jack had made other arrangements, so he asked me if I would visit her at Carmel-by-the-Sea. Tsobcl, his sister, succeeded in persuading me to go. On the train I had plenty of lime to think the whole matter over. 'I'he aunt was unmarried, and probably a crabby old lady, and very set in her ways, That was certainly not a very promising way to spend a vacation. While 1 was thinking of my unhappy situation, a tall, pleasant fellow came up. “Hello. My name’s Judson, A! Judson. We're starting a game of bridge and we’d like to have you join us.” “O. K. Thanks. I’m Bill Spencer.” We played bridge until the train arrived at Carmel, where both Judson and I got off. “Good-bye, Spencer. Hope we meet again sometime.” 1 never dreamed we would. At the station where the aunt. Miss Storey, was to meet me. a person ot about forty-five came up to me and said all in one breath; “You're Jack, aren’t you? I can tell by the college labels on your suitcases. Here Jim. take these suitcases, and show him to the car. Come on. Jack, we re in a hurry. We're going to a dinner and then to a dance tonight. I hope . . . “But . . .” I started. "I hope you brought your tux and tailcoat along. How long is your vacation? We re going to have a dandy time. Whoopee!” I tried to interrupt: “You don't understand . . . I . . . that is he ...” “Who doesn’t understand? You wait until this visit's over. I’ll bet you thought I was about a hundred and very crabby. But I’m so glad you came. You re every bit as handsome as I expected you to be. I would have been humiliated to death if you hadn’t been. I’ve been raving about you for a week to all my friends.” She rattled on at this rate, not giving me a chance to get a word in edge­ wise. She answered all the questions that she asked, and took me oil my feet so that I didn’t know what it was all about. I decided to let her think I was Jack and hope for the best. It seemed funny, though, that she didn’t know . . . Everything went along fine for a while. The fact that she talked so much was really a blessing for me, for she seldom waited for me to reply to her ques­ tions. One evening—the night before I left—she gave a dinner, and she had planned it to be a real party. She invited about fifty young people whom she particularly liked. Much to my surprise, A1 Judson. the fellow I met on the train, appeared. As my “aunt” was about to introduce Judson, he said; “Well, hello Spencer, how are you? It’s nice meeting you again." “My ‘aunt’ was astonished to hear me called ‘Spencer’ and at first thought it was all a joke. “Cut out your nonsense, Al. This is my nephew. Jack Livesay.” “What, is Jack Livesay your nephew? That is a surprise! He and I went to Cornell high school together. This fellow’s not Livesay.

I thought this would he my chance to get away, but my “aunt" was watching me. She grabbed me by the ear. "Oh. no. you don’t escape. I’ve decided to keep you here till the police . . ." My mind was running wild. Suddenly 1 heard a familiar voice. It was Jack Livesay’s. A1 Judson opened the door. Now he came forward. "Miss Storey.” he said, "this is the real Jack Livesay.’’ I interrupted. "Jack, they think that I’m you. I’ve tried to explain to your aunt, hut she talks so much that I can’t tell her about our arrangement.” Win . Aunt Madge, didn’t you get my letter explaining that I couldn’t come and that Bill Spencer was coming instead? I wrote it two days before Bill left.” "Well," Aunt Madge said, "you probably forgot to mail it. Do you actually remember the mailbox in which you put it and time of day it was?” "Xnnn-no. N-not exactly—but I did mail it.” "What’s that white paper sticking out of your pocket?” "By gcorge, that’s it!” "That’s just like a Livesay. What did you come down here for anyway?” "Well. 1 drove down to see you and to take Bill back to college.” "Well, you're just in time for a big dinner. If it hadn’t been that I talked so much, this would never have happened. I’m really sorry. Bill. You must both come down again." And she led the way to the dining room. "Aunt Madge", as I now call her, and I had a swell time in spite of every­ thing. When I was leaving for college she confided to me: "When I first saw you. 1 should have suspected the whole thing. I should have known that a Livesay couldn’t he so good-looking." Margaret Ho l ford, '35. : i I : ! !

They'd go on horses to the one little river in the country and from there go on foot up the trail to the cave, where they would eat their supper and then wail tor the moon to come out before coming home.

The girls went into ;iie little cave to wait. Spooky—this waiting in a damp, nightmarish cave. Sudden peals of thunder coming right into the cave. The boys had evidently been forced to wait until after the storm was over to come back. Nothing to do but wait. “Sue, where did this cave get its name of Cloud Cave?” "Well, years ago a beautiful maid used to meet her lover here. Her family discovered it and determined to stop it. The next night the girl came as usual. She heard her lover come just as the moon came out from behind the clouds. Too late she saw her father raise the fatal gun. Tn tragic despair she rushed down the trail, missed her footing and plunged down into the river below. Tn the lovers’ memory they called their trysting place ‘Cloud Cave’, because if the moon had been hidden by the clouds the lover might never have been killed.” ‘‘How romantic! But oh. Sue, the storm is over. Let’s start down. Oh, here the boys are. Now we can go.” “What? Race me down. All right. Here I go.” Now if I can just keep this up. Whatever is that horrible noise? Why look!

That will hold you until I can get back with help. Now. don’t get worried. Everything will be all right. The boys are there and will watch you. I’ll be back as soon as possible.” And here were die horses. She might as well take Sue's because it was faster than her own. That-a-boy, hurry, hurry! This horse!

'• ! �I THE DELPHIC 32 The Match Family * I ' HERE were now only five left in the once very large match family, but these five had always been at the bottom of the household and were the oldest and therefore considered themselves the best. They were now living in a little tin house in the pocket of a hunter. Let us listen to their conversation. "Junior, what are you crowding clear off in that corner for? I declare you are the littlest thing I have ever seen. All your brothers and sisters were as large as the average person in the match family and just look at you! One would think you had been broken right in two. Well, thank goodness, you have been able to keep your head about you. anyway.” "Mamma.” said little Junior in reply to what his mother had just said, "what would ever happen if I lost my head? I guess I just wouldn’t he good for anything. I would just be like the old saying, ‘not worth setting fire to.’ Because of my size probably no one will ever give me a chance to show that I can keep my head and do mv duty. But wait, mamma—here comes the landlord of this lovely home to !.ake another one of our happy family away and I am afraid that this is one of those days when we all lose our heads.” "Well. Junior, it looks as if T am the one to show my skill today,” cried little Diamond as she was pulled from her home in a most brutal manner. This landlord was a very cruel person for when he took members of the match family out of their fine home he always struck them and if they lost their heads or broke down he would throw them on the ground and mumble to himself hut il they managed to keep their heads and flare up at him lie would he very pleased. lint wait—what has happened to Diamond? She has lost her head, poor child, and now Lion is going to try to uphold the family motto—"Always Flare L'p. Oh—what can be the matter? There goes Lion, but Mrs. Match had always said that you could never depend upon Lion for anything. Listen to poor little Junior now— "Oh! Mamma, they arc taking you now and there will only be papa and T here. What shall we do? But look at Papa; he has fallen out and now the landlord won’t even give him a chance. Please Mamma, do your best to hold up the family tradition because I am such a little fellow that the man will probably not give me a chance either.” But alas! Poor Mamma lost her head and there was no one left hut poor little Junior and how sad he is. But look! The landlord has just snatched Junior out of his warm house and how angry he seems at such a stupid family. Junior is very tense waiting for the landlord to strike him and at last it comes—and—and ves, he does. Junior kept his head. Hurrah! the match family motto has been saved by little Junior who kept his head and remembered to "Always Flare Up.” Peggy Carleton, '35. A Boarder’s Best Friend rT"'HE first to greet me with a smile in the morning is my best friend. She is really JL what one would call a true comrade. She never runs into the bathroom in the morning to grab my wash basin before I can get there. She never talks behind my back about my faults, even though she docs know more about me than anyone else ; for to her I confide my innermost thoughts. When I have a headache, she doesn’t annoy me by singing. When I have a cold, she doesn't stay away from me as though I were afflicted with the plague. When I receive candv. she doesn’t barge in and ask for my favorite kind. Though she never has any money of her own. she doesn’t want to borrow from me. She doesn’t ask to wear my new dress or my new shoes. The only way I can account for her perfection, is the fact that she is a Scottie dog and her name is Dynamite.

She awoke the next morning and realized that he was lost to her. Nothing could console her: all around the house were memories. She could hear him speaking and his eyes haunted her night and day. His special pillow was in its correct corner on the divan. She sat bv the hour and rested in the corner opposite. Her mother and father worried and fretted about her. Nothing they could do or bring her seemed to hold her interest. But one day he returned. He entered the front door with a woebegone air. He was unkempt and bedraggled, but glad to be home. He was unsure of his welcome, too. She was sitting in his corner when he entered. And then he spoke! She jumped and gladly gathered him into her arms. He tried to show his apprecia­ tion but only succeeded in attracting the attention of the other members of the family. They came joyfully. "He’s come back!” she exclaimed happily. And be echoed her happiness with a shrill bark. Jeanne Latourette, '35. l! : ' II ; i i l! : i I ■ 1 •ii; II ) n ! il The Mouse in Our House There is a little mouse Who lives between our walls.

I can’t understand him at all. He opens his mouth very wide when he talks, and nearly always speaks distinctly, but incoherently.

All together, the three more truly resembled over-ripe plums! His rather corpulent figure rendered a most assuring, confident air. and, in short, he was the best specimen of a sound yet light-hearted individual. His shabby ap­ pearance was taken care of by the elegant carriage of his very round head and his pompous stride. His large vocabulary did indeed suit his physical "build up’’, which, by the way, was entirely essential to his means of existence. He was constantly humming a tune with the greatest air of gentility; except, of course, while passing the counting-house! He was light-hearted on the whole, with nothing to worry about but his numerous debts; and though lie was not beyond a few miserable hours of hard, heart-rending wails, he soon lifted himself up to a great height of ecstasy on the revelation that he could always come through the back door when the creditors were hounding and pounding at the front, lie considered himself in the height of elegance and with a true oratorical instinct! He was alway sure that something was bound to turn up the next day and his happy-go-lucky outlook on life was not even marred by the precarious position once occupied in prison because of his I.O.U.’s. But this, however, all ended very well and his merry soul and twinkling eyes were none the duller through the passing of many years of patient waiting and expectation. Mary Justine Gilbert, ’38.

Seven more hours and I would be home once more, where I could get up at noon, and drink as much tea as I liked! Then, like the breaking of some great reservoir or the ominous thundering of a devastating monsoon came the snores of the man above me. Poor fellow, -he must have been cursed with Saint Vitus dance, for he bounded with the agility of a young and sprightly mountain goat from one side of the bed to the other. At other times he seemed to be trying to find out whether his feet were paralyzed or not; for he thumped them vigorously up and down ; whereupon I put my fingers in my ears and tried to concentrate on the beauty of night, especially in the semi-arid spaces, and seven cinnamon rolls I intended to consume for breakfast. But. alas! it was no use, for the good fellow was either a dope fiend or was mentally deficient, for he played golf in a loud voice, and strong language. After that he was much more subdued, or so I hoped, and only snored mildly. But no, my lucky >t;> was always a dark one, and he then began to play bridge and, from what I could gather, it was certainly quite a game. Again I tried to disconnect my thoughts, but finally decided to consult my watch (it has worked only spasmodi­ cally since 1 sat on it) and saw, to my horror, that it was almost two-thirty in the gray of the morning. My elevated friend had now ceased his enlightening conversation and was fit­ fully rolling over and over as though he were a billiard ball, yet always stayed in his berth, luckily for me! To judge from the noise he was making he must have weighed at least fourteen hundred pounds. At the moment I thought that I should have hated to meet him in a hand-to-hand struggle, for he seemed to consist mainly of muscle. Then as the porter shook my nerveless body, he impressed me with the fact that it was six-thirty. As 1 emerged sleepily from my so-called sleeping quarters, I observed from under my touscled mop of hair a small dapper gentleman, monocle in eye, sitting fully dressed, on the edge of his berth. He could only have weighed about a hundred pounds, and he seemed very timid and subdued. Gadzooks! Had I known that, I would have dealt with the man at once, and got a good night’s rest.

There are cherry trees planted all around the lake which shines like a huge mirror when the air is still. But as a fresh gust of wind comes along, it whips up into little white caps as if dancing with the breeze. The two downy white swans glide easily along on the water, arching their necks and looking down at their images as if to say. "Do you not think we are beautiful?” The cherry blossoms that had fallen on the lake float along like little boats. As dusk falls the swans tuck their heads under their wings and the wind stirs the old pine which stands like a sentinel towering over the lake.

My Mother told me I was too young to go to the dances, but 1 never missed a fair. “The fair usually began June 12 and it was June 1 when I received my in­ vitation to a dance from the boy who lived on the next farm.

The time flew as if on wings, and it wasn't long before Heather found herself sitting in Mary Jane’s living room arrayed in the pale blue dress. They played all sorts of games, and as Heather was exhausted, she sat down on a chair. She arose hurriedly as the next game was beginning. In doing so, she caught her dress, and instead of being angry, she just laughed and said, "I’ve often heard that history repeats itself.” Betty Gunderson, ’40.

It had invited Susanna to spend the months of June and July with her at her beautiful estate at Sunset Lake. “All off for Sunset Lake! All off for Sunset Lake!’’ Susanna stood up, startled. As she stepped off the bus she noticed a small dog trotting wearily up the steep hill. "Here pup, here pup. Come here.” The small dog quickened his pace. As it drew nearer she could see it more distinctly. It seemed to her then that her heart skipped a beat. For it was Tinker! "Oh, Tinker! How did you get here?” Tinker looked up into her eyes as if he were trying to tell her but couldn’t. The door of the big house opened and a cheery “Welcome” came from her Aunt. “Oh! Aunt May, Uncle John's dog followed me all the way. Would you keep him till I go home ?” “Of course. I wouldn't for ten boxes of candy turn such a sweet little dog out.” (Aunt May was very fond of candy.) Two weeks later a telegram came from the little cottage in the lane.

This was one of the hardest and most exciting games of the season with Washington ahead in the first half, but the Hall team gained rapidly. Washington had a strong fighting team and was determined to win, but the game ended in a tie of 34-34. ST. HELEN’S HALL vs. ST. MARY’S ACADEMY The game was played on our floor on February 20th. Both teams were out to win and showed excellent sportsmanship. St. Mary's proved to be the stronger team and won with the score of 27-36. A return game with St. Mary’s was played at Shattuck School, March 22nd. It was a hard fought game, but St. Mary’s still proved the stronger team and won with the score of 32-15. �'• ; THE DELPHIC ; 43 Coach’s Impressions Maryalice Enos, Captain, has shown outstanding loyalty, interest, and effort, has made an excellent leader, and, in addition, gives many a guard a difficult run. It is with regret that we sec Maryaliee graduate. Dorothea James can outstand (both in height as well as in fame) many an oppo­ nent, and both as guard and as center she has proved invaluable. Marjorie Kernan is everywhere at once, and as side center her passes and her teamwork added to her speed have made her a precious part of the team. Marjorie is a Freshman, we are happy to say. Ai.k>: Freeze is a steady, hard-working center whose cooperation with Marjorie has been outstanding and whose sure passes and reliable teamwork have sent many a ball into the hands of the forwards. Byri. Browne is, as any forward will tell you, very hard to lose. She is constantly ; her 'post and is quick and strong in her game. Srs.w \\ I has made a good start in this, her Freshman year, and has made many a goal for St. Helen’s. With speed and experience, Susan has a fine future in basketball. Bin i v I. i Korerts is extremely fast and very responsive in the game. With more practice she would be a brilliant player. Hki.en Stone, also a forward, is an excellent shot. Here is another Senior. Ruth Richardson is a Junior and has another year to cause the forwards no little worry. Ruth has unlimited energy and perseverance in her game. Peggy Krlmp.ein has speed, and that is what a side center.needs. Peggy is going to be a fine juggler soon, too. M wine I lowe has a pivot which we wish that the entire team might acquire, and it causes her opponent at side center considerable difficulty. Peggy Bernard is nearly always ready to receive her passes in the forward terri­ tory and is calm and effective in shooting. Frances Haworth is an industrious guard, a faithful player, and good material. Frances has two more years. Phyllis Natwick is a very vigorous player and a fine guard. She has energy and ability. Laddie Green is a center with a good eye for passes and a high jump. Anita Cadonau has been a faithful player and has played side center the majority of the time. Anita stays close to her opponent and has her eye on the ball. Mary McCrea is reliable and sure as forward and can be counted on in shooting. She has practiced well and is becoming a fine player. Yvonne Shepherd can keep a forward well guarded, and with practice and atten­ tion she will make a fine guard. Lillian Brooke is another good guard who can pass well and keep the forward well covered. Lillian has been constant in attendance at practices as well. The team as a whole is made up of fine players who have unlimited possibili­ ties, individually and as a group. The most important factor in a team of six is co­ operation and the time-worn expression, teamwork. The basketball squad has worked hard, in the majority, and has shown remarkable sportsmanship and cour­ age in spite of several defeats. The prophecy for next year is a team with passes and tactics which will prove effective against the hardest opponents, and the pros­ pect of 1935-36 is most optimistic for the team.

Senior and Junior tournaments were played, and also Doubles. A tennis team con­ sisting of Peggy Krumbein, Phyllis Elder, Laddie Green and Nancy Alber was selected. We had some really fine matches this year, and we believe that there are some promising young players among our ranks. �i i : THE DELPHIC 45 Hi i !; I ■i 1i ■ '! IS I 1' Fencing A great deal of interest was shown in Fencing this year. Lenore Lavanture and Mr. Knapp taught the class. A fencing ladder was drawn up and bouts were held to determine the winners. A gold medal was awarded to Charlotte Lee as first prize, a silver medal to Nannette Moore as second prize, and a bronze medal to Phyllis Nat wick as third prize. �! THE DELPHIC :. .I li ■ . ■ is . ■ >: : 'i t I : : i •i i : The Archery Club The Archery Club was formed last fall, as about fourteen girls became inter­ ested in the sport. Jane Mount was elected president, and attractive gold pins, shaped like bows and arrows, were made. When the weather is not too wet the members shoot to try to improve their scores. Each active member has her own set of arrows, and there are four bows belonging to the school. �II i ■« : i i! ; i: i I:: i ' i i;: ■!

The group tries throughout its program to support the highest in athletic sportsmanship, and through the honor of membership which it places on certain students and through its activities to uphold the ideals for which the school stands. The officers for the first term were Marv Kathryn Shoemaker, President; Marion Rosenblatt, Vice-President; and Helen Stone. Secretary-Treasurer. The second term officers were Maryalice Enos, President: Elsie Lou Green, VicePresident, and Dorothea James, Secretary-Treasurer. i VI ! i ! ) ; ': !I b f i mm �; 1 :: THE DELPHIC 4S i i ■ : !: ‘ | i ': !i i y . i i § I!i ■ . ■ 1 \ i] j ■' -| Volley Ball So many girls turned out for Volley Ball this year that two teams were chosen. Laddie Green was elected Captain of the Days and Yvonne Shepherd Captain of the Boarders’ Team. The Days played the Boarders on November 21st and won three games out of five. Three Days and three Boarders were then chosen for a school team. On Wednesday, March 27th, they played the Junior College and defeated them 6-0. �CALENDAR 3 i : �! I !i M; m-\r ;; r ' ; .. Mr:' \ �THE DELPHIC 49 Calendar SEPTEMBER 4 "Oil! did you have a good time this summer?" “Where did you go' "What did you do?" was heard issuing from the dormitories as the Boarders busily pro­ ceeded to unpack their trunks and set their rooms in order. September 5 School started out this year with great enthusiasm. 1 he Seniors were noticeably proud of their new desks in the back of study hall. With the help of the old girls, the new girls soon became accustomed to the Hall routine. September 7 The Boarders spent a delightful week-end at the Everglade, where they launched the canoes and boats for the first time this season. They also enjoyed swimming in the cool refreshing water. September 26 Amidst a great deal of laughter and excitement the new girls were initiated into the life of the Hall. This was at our Old Girl-New Girl party. Bright and original costumes were seen everywhere, while a large quanity of cider, doughnuts and apples was disposed of. October 5 Alpha Theta gave a rush tea again this year at the home of one of the mem­ bers. Six girls were pledged into the organization. October 24 The annual faculty tea was given, at which the Juniors and Seniors helped serve and introduce the parents to the teachers. October 31 A Hallowe’en dance at Hill was attended by the Boarders and a number of the Day dodgers. Ah! we found fortune tellers there, who looked into our future, and altogether, everyone seemed to have a very enjoyable time. November 2 Today the first edition of our school paper, “The Blotter", appeared, and was sold in large numbers. November 21 The Days proved to be the champion volley-ball players of the school, for they defeated the Boarders three games out of five. November 28 Let’s dance! The first Student Body dance was a great success, since there was an unusually large number present. Prizes were given to the best dancers. November 28 Our Thanksgiving holidays arrived, and we were all looking forward to a turkey dinner, and a few days of good times. �I 50 THE DELPHIC December 14 Instead of the usual Christmas Cantata, the Boarders presented a beautiful “Christmas Mystery Play”, to which a number of the Day Dodgers were invited. Afterwards in the dormitories—hilarity, food and fun in abundance. December 18 We welcomed the beginning of the eagerly awaited Christmas holidays, which are exceptionally long this year. December 22 Today we gave a Christmas party for the children of the Fruit and Flower Mission. Refreshments were served and each child received a toy. They all had the time of their lives. January 8 My! how time does fly! Here we are at school again. Vacation memories still linger, but nevertheless, we are glad to be back. January 18 Our team defeated the Junior College today in the first basket-ball game of the year. The score was 25-18. January 21 Why did everyone show such a sudden spurt of great industriousness today ? Well, we know. Dear old exams began to spread their little havoc in our minds. February 1 Oh! Oh! The team lost the game with Madeleine 32-23. Better luck next time. February 8 The Alpha Thetas decided to be different and give a Buffet supper instead of another tea. The newly initiated members, especially, took great pleasure in se­ lecting six new pledges. February 13 Our girls were victorious in a basket-ball game with Washington High School. The score, 41-37. We heard Mr. Edward O. Sisson of Reed College give us an interesting account of the life and the character of Abraham Lincoln. February 14 This was an eventful day for many of us, since Sister Superior arranged a trip to Salem for us. We watched the process of passing bills in both of the State Houses, and were introduced personally to Governor Martin. February 20 Alas! Though they fought valiantly, the team lost to St. Mary’s, 32-23. Today Miss Christine Larsen, who is instructor of the nurses at the Good Samaritan Hospital, talked to us on the training and opportunities in the nursing vocation. If any of the future Hall graduates are nurses we will know that her address helped to inspire them. �-V m : 1 THE DELPHIC 51 ■ February 22 The annual track meet was held at Hill Military Academy, to which the Hall girls were invited. : I ■ ; i February 23 Another Student Body dance! To the rythmic strains of the orchestra we all had a splendid time. The dance hall was decorated in the patriotic red. white, and blue. - March 1 The most exciting game of the year look place today. The good old team held its own against Washington, and the score was a tie, 34-34. ! March 11-15 Many of the music lovers enjoyed the operas which were presented this week at the civic auditorium. The favorite operas seemed to be “Aida” and "Madame Butter flv". i! March 14 \\V were honored today by having with us the Right Rev. James DeWolf Ferry, who is the Presiding Bishop of the Church. He preached an extremely interesting sermon to us in the college chapel. '['(might the Boarders sang in the choir at the mass meeting which was held at Trinity church. We again heard the Presiding Bishop preach. ■ March 15 Holiday spirit is in the air, for our spring vacation begins today, and is just in time to save us from that well-known spring fever. March 22 I he return game with St. Mary’s was played. To our great disappointment our team was defeated. March 27 A most interesting address was given today in the college assembly hall. Mr. Burt Brown Barker, who is the vice-president of the University of Oregon, talked to us on the social customs of Japan. We learned many unusual facts about the Japanese. March 29 Our basket-ball season ended triumphantly when we defeated Madeleine 29-14. April 9 Dr. Aurelia Henry Reinhardt, who is president of Mills College, gave us a splendid lecture on “This Modern World, a Student’s World”. April 26 Before it was too late the Boarders had their dance, and although only radio music was available, they all had a marvelous time. �PPvc- ■ pi** Si* :• •• • mp ,}&*?

Old Girl-New Girl Party i I Amidst color and merriment the Old Girls gave their annual party for the New Girls on September twenty-sixth. Displayed in the grand march were many original and intriguing costumes which made it extremely difficult for the teachers, who were the judges, to make a decision. After a brief pause, Frances Corfe, dis­ guised as a lighthouse, was awarded the first prize. Yvonne Shepherd, masquerad­ ing as Rip Van Winkle, was the recipient of the second prize. The third prize went to Jean Littlepage and Carolyn Kamm. who were impersonating the Campbell's Soup children. The rest of the evening’s entertainment was supplied by the initiation of the new girls and teachers, after which the evening was concluded with dancing and refreshments. . . a I m Christmas Mystery Play On the evening of December sixteenth the Boarders presented, in place of their annual Cantata, a Mystery Play in the auditorium. The leading parts were taken by Mary Helen Pruitt, Yvonne Shepherd, and Erma Darling. It was thor­ oughly enjoyed by all those who were present. Various day-students were guests of the boarders to spend the night and partook of an array of enticing refresh­ ments. Symphony and Opera A number of the girls attended the Portland Symphoy and Steers and Coman Concert Scries for the 1934-1935 season. Included in the series were Daliez Frantz. Roland Hayes, Mary Garden, Lawrence Tibbctt, Virginia Le Rae, John Charles Thomas, and the Ballet Russe. The San Carlo Opera Company which was in Portland from March eleventh to the sixteenth drew the interest of many of the girls. The operas which seemed to be the most popular in the estimation of many were ‘‘Madame Butterfly”, "Aida", and "Faust". Student Body Dances Soft lights and sweet music, rendered by Hovt Philips’ orchestra, ushered in the first Student Body Dance of the year on Friday evening. November twentythird. For the evening St. Helen's Flail was transformed into a modern Indian Tepee. Nancy Alber and Bill Neill, dancing to a melodious waltz, won the prize dance. On Saturday night, February twenty-third, the second Student Body Dance was given, carrying out the idea of Washington’s Birthday with red, white and blue decorations. To the swaying music of Jeb Goodell’s orchestra, Jean Rankin and Don Sutherland won the prize dance. I! ■ �•I I ■ 52 THE DELPHIC April 27 The Junior class gave a bridge tea style show, at which stylish and attractive clothes were modeled by a number of the Juniors. Delicious refreshments were served during the display. May 1 Today Father Delaunay of Portland University gave a thoroughly interesting talk on school life in India. The Boarders had the time of their lives today, for Sister Superior gave them a surprise party. After a long scenic drive on the Columbia River highway, they came to Viewpoint Hotel where they had supper. Afterwards Sister showed them an amusing movie called "Young April". May 9 The May Fete proved to be one of the outstanding events of the Student Body activities. Mary Kathryn Shoemaker was crowned queen, and she was attended by six princesses and Laddie Green as master of ceremonies. May IS The Seniors attended the Alumnae Tea today and were received into the Alumnae Association. June 1 A balmy June night, a romantic moon, and the melodious tunes of the orches­ tra all helped to make our Junior Prom perfect. Only the thought of our leaving made our hearts a little heavy. June 2 Our Baccalaureate Sunday passed with the usual sentimental sadness on the part of the Seniors. The sermon was given at Trinity church, and afterwards a picnic lunch was served in the gymnasium. The unveiling of the Senior class pic­ ture then took place, and the Delpiiics were given out. Everybody was kept busy the rest of the day getting them autographed. June 3 This year the Senior class presented a Shakesperean play. “A Midsummer Night's Dream”. The girls showed unusual dramatic ability and the Greek cos­ tumes gave a very lovely effect. June 4 Commencement! This was one of the greatest events of our lives, and although the Seniors were happy that they had at last reached their goal, they were sad­ dened by the thought of bidding their last farewell to St. Helen’s Hall.

April twenty-sixth, in the auditorium. Music for the party was furnished bv the radio. Because this party was the first to follow the Lenten Season, it was received with great enthusiasm by all who were there. Junior Bridge Style Show A bridge style show was given on the afternoon of April twenty-seventh by the Junior Class. The first part of the afternoon was spent in playing bridge, and attractive prizes were presented to those having the highest scores. While tea was being served, many beautiful gowns and ensembles from Bartholomew Dress Shop were modelled by the Misses Nancy Alber, Cathryn Collins. Marion Condon. Verna Lee Franklin. Barbara Jones, Marguerite Peters, Betty Lou Roberts, and Ruth Rose Richardson. Everglade During the year many enjoyable weekends were spent at Everglade. Outdoor activities included swimming, canoeing, tennis, and hiking. Ping-pong, billiards, story-telling, and dancing afforded entertainment to the girls in the evenings. Before retiring, the girls frequently raided the kitchen to prepare a light lunch. We are sure that the girls who arc leaving the Hall will miss the freedom and restfulness of those weekends at Everglade. Junior-Senior Prom After four memorable years together, the Seniors attended the Junior Prom, their last dance as students of St. Helen’s Hall. The dance was given on Saturday evening, June first, in the auditorium, which was cleverly and artistically deco­ rated. Although the Seniors were a little saddened with the thought of leaving, the bright and colorful formals and sweet strains of music made their last evening at the Hall a pleasant one.

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.
