Rodney as Principal. The ground & rs upon which the school was first built was secured through the lib­ erality of Mr. John D. Wolfe and his daughter, Miss Catherine Wolfe, of New York City, whose large-hearted generosity should ever be remembered in recalling the early history of this institution. The school continued its work in the original building on Fourth Street, between Madison and Jefferson, until the year 1890, when the property was sold to the City of Portland, for the use of the City Hall. On the 9th of June of that year, the corner stone of the large and commodious building at Park and St. Clair Streets was laid, and on the 24th of February, 1891, the school was moved to its new home. Miss Mary Rodney died April 15th, 1896, and the work was carried on by her sisters, the Misses Rodney, until the close of the school year. At the opening of the next year, Miss Eleanor Tebbetts, Ph. D., became the principal and remained in that office till the end of June, 1904, when, by the request of the Board of �4 ST. HELEN’S HALL Trustees, the Sisters of St. John Baptist (founded at Clewer, England, in 1857, and affiliated in this country in 1881), undertook the charge of the school. The work has been steadily carried on since that time, and has met, as all believe, a very real need in the Diocese, and been blessed with increased usefulness. The school building was destroyed by fire on Septem­ ber 3, 1914. Since then a commodious kindergarten building and a temporary building fully fitted for all school purposes have been placed on that site. The well-known house on the corner of Everett and 20th streets, for so many years the home of Bishop Morris, together with the house adjoining, are occupied as houses of residence. Their situation is pleasant, each house having a garden and piazzas, and the location is central, convenient, and within ten minutes’ walk of the school. Special provision is made for the younger pupils from the Elementary Department, who will be received as well as girls from the Academic. The aim of St. Helen’s Hall- iis to provide for girls the best possible facilities for complete education. This means not only the cultivation of the intellect and the acquirement of graceful, womanly accomplishments, but also such moral and religious training as shall helo the pupils to become pure, true women, with a high, posi­ tive standard of Christian living. �ST. HELEN’S HALL 5 Uii|r g’djonl The interior administration of the school has been entrusted to the Sisters of St. John Baptist, who have the general superintendence of every department. In secular studies they are assisted by a staff of efficient instructors, either college graduates, or teachers espe­ cially trained for their work. A daily record is kept of the attendance, scholarship, and deportment of every pupil, and a report of the same is mailed to parents at the close of each quarter. Pupils failing, after a fair trial, to attain the required standard of scholarship or deportment, will not be re­ tained in the school. The Sister Superior will always be glad to receive visits from the parents of pupils. tfcpartumtts The school consists of three departments—Element­ ary, Academic, and Kindergarten Training Class. The Elementary Department includes, besides the Kindergarten, seven classes, covering in English and Arithmetic the same ground as the Elementary public school, but including a broader range of subjects. The Academic Department covers five years and is divided into two courses—the College Preparatory Course and the General Course. The College Prepara- �6 ST. HELEN’S HALL tory Course is so arranged as to meet the requirements °f the fading Eastern colleges without undue. pressure. The General Course is intended for pupils desiring to lay the foundation of a broad general education . and meets the requirements of those universities and col­ leges which do not require four years’ preparatory work in Latin. In it the time, which in the College Prepara­ tory Course is necessarily spent in Latin, is devoted to Literature, History and Modern Languages, Much of the work is common to both courses, and the standard of thoroughness is the same. The certificate of St. Helen’s Hall is accepted in­ stead of entrance examinations at Wellesley and Smith Colleges, also at the State Universities of Oregon Washington and California. Music, Art and Elocution count as regular elective studies in the General Course, A four-years’ course in any one of these subjects, satisfactorily completed will be taken into account for graduation. In both the General and the College Preparatory Course, twenty credits are required for graduation, each credit representing a year’s work of five recitations a week, rrom seventeen to twenty-four recitations a week are required of all pupils. Either course, fully completed, entitles a pupil to the diploma of the school. �ST. HELEN’S HALL 7 Sugluilt The aim in this course is to give pupils thorough in­ struction in English Grammar and Rhetoric, to enable them to write with ease and accuracy, and to teach them to appreciate what is best in English Literature. From the lowest class the reading matter is carefully selected, and in the third year of the Academic Course a brief history of English Literature is studied. After this the work- consists chiefly in the writing of compositions and the critical study of English masterpieces, especially those required for College entrance examinations. anil (formmt In these courses the aim is to enable the pupil to read the languages at sight and speak and write them easily.. In order to acquire a good pronunciation, the study of French should be begun in the Elementary Depart­ ment, the lessons at first being in the form of conver­ sation and easy reading. Afterward grammar and trans­ lation are begun. In the last year of the Course, French composition, History and Literature are studied. German or Spanish may be begun in the first, second or third year of the Academic Course and carried to the point required for admission to college or beyond it as may be desired. Attention is paid to pronunciation, conversation and sight reading, as well as to grammar and translation, and German and Spanish songs and plays form a part of the course. �8 ST. HELEN’S HALL Satin anil (grrrk “Latin and Greek are not regarded as dead languages except in the sense that all language of books not in our era is dead. They are living in the sense that the Eng­ lish of Chaucer and the Italian of Dante are alive, dead only to those to whom for lack of knowledge they are sealed books.”—(Cambridge School Manual.) A five years’ course of Latin is provided, including beside the usual college requirements of Caesar. Cicero, Virgil, Ovid and prose composition, a fifth yeai for Sallust and sight-reading. It is recommended that Latin should be begun in the 7th Grade of the school work. The course in Greek covers three years; the previous work in Latin having prepared the pupil for its intelli­ gent study. The first year is given to grammar and exercises, the second to Xenophon, the third to Homer. It is desirable, though not essential, that pupils prepar­ ing for college should elect Greek as their third lan­ guage. fSistnrtj The study of History is begun in the Elementary Department and continued to the end of the school course • In the College Preparatory Course it is neces­ sarily limited to college requirements, which, however, are constantly increasing both as to quantity and quality. In the General Course five courses of Plistory are �ST. HELEN’S HALL 9 offered. The topical method is approved, collateral reading is encouraged. Maps are drawn, and historical geography is held to be an important part of the work. History and English are intimately associated; pupils being required to commit to memory historical poems, and to write compositions on subjects drawn from his­ torical lessons. The school is fortunate in possessing a fairly good, though small, library of history, and litera­ ture bearing upon it. lEatljrmatirs “In teaching mathematics the aim is to develop the spirit of enquiry, the habit of accuracy in reasoning, and the love of truth.” (Cambridge School Manual.) The prescribed course comprises Arithmetic, Alge­ bra, Plane and Solid Geometry. Throughout the course original work is encouraged, and set rules are avoided. The pupils are encouraged to rely as little cis possible upon text books. i’rirnrp This department is conducted in accordance with the best scientific methods. Natural History is taught in connection with Geography in the Elementary Department. In the Academic Department the subjects are taken up as indicated in the course of study. Laboratory work is required of all students of Chemistry and Physics, and the use of the microscope of all students of Botany and Physiology. It is considered that one or �10 ST. HELEN’S HALL two sciences, each thoroughly studied for not less than one year, will do more for the pupil’s intellectual devel­ opment than a large amount of superficial work. A course in the Theory of Domestic Science, includ­ ing Hygiene, Household Sanitation and Chemistry of Foods, is offered. For lessons in cooking in connection with this course an extra charge is made. Sclujimis instruriimt All pupils receive instruction in Holy Scripture, Church Catechism and the History of the Church , and attend the daily services in the Chapel of the School. Resident pupils attend service on Sunday morning in one of the city churches. iHusir Pupils may study music, piano, violin, vocal, musical theory, harmony, etc., in the school, Two half-hour lessons a week are usually given, and at least one hour a day must be spent in practice; this time may be in­ creased according to the ability of the pupil. The techmeal work is drawn from the best sources, and pieces are selected from the £reat mass of old and new musical literature, according to the needs of the students, When they are sufficiently advanced, ensemble playing, duos, trios and quartettes may be studied. Pupils are eacouraged to attend the concerts offered throughout the season in the city. �ST. HELEN’S HALL 11 Art The school of the Portland Art Association offers special advantages to those wishing to study Art. The course includes elementary drawing, painting, model­ ling, sketching, composition, portrait and life study. Advanced students may also join the Art History and the Composition Class. Work in applied design is per­ mitted when the pupils are sufficiently advanced to carry out the principles studied, Art students may also join a class in Arts and Crafts, or may take special training in metal work, wood carving, etc. Pljjsiral (Ettllurc The school nasium, where matic, regular Apparatus and can be played. has the use of a well equipped gym­ pupils may have the benefit of syste­ exercise under a competent instructor. drill work can be taken and basket ball The school also has two tennis courts for outdoor exercise.

Pupils may form a class for dancing lessons if desired. �12 ST. HELEN’S HALL (Hourara of g>tu&g tlrmralnry Srpartmrut FIRST YEAR. THIRD YEAR. English. Reading, Writing, Spelling, Phonics. Arithmetic.

Good health is an es­ sential, and some musical ability a decided advantage. Twenty-three weeks of practice teaching are required yearly. Students are given an opportunity to observe and practice in each of the public charity kindergartens of the city, also in a model kindergarten, which is con­ ducted in connection with the Training School. Since there is a model first grade as well in the same building, the students have the advantage of observing the care­ fully developed connection between kindergarten and first grade work. t The course of study covers eighteen months, or two school years, and the diploma is accredited by the pub­ lic schools of Oregon. �ST.

HELEN’S HALL 21 The advance deposit is required to secure a room be­ fore the school opens and is used to meet the expenses of school supplies. An account of money used for per­ sonal expenses will be rendered at the close of the school year, and any surplus returned. The laundry work included in the regular charges does not include white skirts or dresses. Dresses or thin waists are not allowed to be worn from November 1 to April 1. All arrangements are made for the entire school year. Pupils withdrawn before the end of the year will be charged in full, ex­ cept in cases of severe illness, when the loss will be equally shared. This is a distinct condition of the contract. The cause of removal must be attested by two physicians, one of whom shall be the attending physician of the school. No deduction is made for occasional absence, nor for absence during the first four weeks. It is assumed that these conditions are accepted when the pupil is entered, this being the custom of all schools in good standing. No reduction will be made for absence of less than six weeks. When desired, pupils may remain at the school during Christmas and Easter vacations, and for that time will be charged at the rate of seven dollars a week. No bills will be paid for pupils, nor money advanced to them unless a deposit has been made for that purpose, and pupils are not allowed to have running accounts at any store in the city. A monthly allowance is recommended as tending to give a young girl a proper sense of the value of money and responsibility in the use of it. �22 ST.

A short list of correspondents and visitors, signed by the parents, is required. Letters addressed to others tnan those on the list will be forwarded unopened to parents or guardians. During the term no pupil will be allowed to pass a night in town out of the school building except with her parents or near relatives.

Matthews, Esq. • �; 1 AINT HELEN’S HALL was established by the Rt. Rev. B. Wistar ] Morris, D. D., and opened Septem^ ber, 1869, with Miss Mary B. Rodney as Principal. The ground upon which the school was first built was secured through the lib­ erality of Mr. John D. Wolfe and his daughter, Miss Catherine Wolfe, of New York City, whose large-hearted generosity should ever be remembered in recalling the early history of this institution. The school continued its work in the original building on Fourth Street, between Madison and Jefferson, until the year 1890, when the property was sold to the City of Portland, for the use of the City Hall. On the 9th of June of that year, the corner stone of the large and commodious building at Park and St. Clair Streets was laid, and on the 24th of February, 1891, the school was moved to its new home. ! i Miss Mary Rodney died April 15th, 1896, and the work was carried on by her sisters, the Misses Rodney^ until the close of the school year, At the opening of the next year, Miss Eleanor Tebbetts, Ph. D., became the principal and remained in that office till the end of the Board of of June, 1904, when, by the request r �4 ST. HELEN’S HALL Trustees, the Sisters of St. John Baptist (founded at Clewer, England, in 1857, and affiliated in this country in 1881), undertook the charge of the school. The work has been steadily carried on since that time, and has met, as all believe, a very real need in the Diocese, and been blessed with increased usefulness. The school building was destroyed by fire on Septem­ ber 3, 1914. Since then a commodious kindergarten building and a temporary building for the Day School have been placed on that site. Owing to the overcrowd­ ing of the latter, the Portland Academy on Thirteenth Street, between Montgomery and Hall, with its excel­ lent class rooms, playgrounds, and the use of the separate gymnasium, has been leased by the Trustees of St. Helen’s Hall, and will be occupied as the house of resi­ dence, and for the Lower and Upper Schools for both day pupils and boarders. The aim of St. Helen’s Hall is to provide for girls the best possible facilities for complete education. This means not only the cultivation of the intellect and the acquirement of graceful, womanly accomplishments, but also such moral and religious training as shall help the pupils to become pure, true women, with a high, posi­ tive standard of Christian living. v �ST. HELEN’S HALL 5 uJln> S’rifuul The interior administration of the school has been entrusted to the Sisters of St. John Baptist, who have the general superintendence of every department. In secular studies they are assisted by a staff of efficient instructors, either college graduates, or teachers espe­ cially trained for their work. A daily record is kept of the attendance, scholarship, and deportment of every pupil, and a report of the same is mailed to parents at the close of each quarter. Pupils failing, after a fair trial, to attain the required standard of scholarship or deportment, will not be re­ tained in the school. The Sister Superior will always be glad to receive visits from the parents of pupils. ^Departments The school consists of four departments—the Lower School and Upper School, the Kindergarten Training Class, and Kindergarten. The Lower School includes the six classes covering in English and Arithmetic the same ground as the Ele­ mentary public school to the Seventh Grade, but with a broader range of subjects. The Upper School covers six years and is divided into two courses—the College Preparatory Course and the General Course. Two extra years of either Col- �6 ST. HELEN’S HALL tory Course is so arranged as to meet the requirements of the leading Eastern colleges without undue pressure. The General Course is intended for pupils desiring to lay the foundation of a broad general education, and meets the requirements of those universities and col­ leges which do not require four years’ preparatory workin Latin. In it the time, which in the College Prepara­ tory Course is necessarily spent in Latin, is devoted to Literature, History and Modern Languages. Much of the work is common to both courses, and the standard of thoroughness is the same. The certificate of St. Helen’s Hall is accepted in­ stead of entrance examinations at Wellesley and Smith Colleges, also at the State Universities of Oregon, Washington and California. Music, Art and Elocution count as regular elective studies in the General Course. A four-years’ course in any one of these subjects, satisfactorily completed, will be taken into account for graduation. In both the General and the College Preparatory Course, twenty credits are required for graduation, each credit representing a year’s work of five recitations a week. From seventeen to twenty-four recitations a week are required of all pupils. Either course, fully completed, entitles a pupil to the diploma of the school. 3 �ST. HELEN’S HALL 7 credit representing a year’s work of five recitations a week. From seventeen to twenty-four recitations a week are required of all pupils. Either course, fully com­ pleted, entitles a pupil to the diploma of the school. lEttglisI) The aim in this course is to give pupils thorough in­ struction in English Grammar and Rhetoric, to enable them to write with ease and accuracy, and to teach them to appreciate what is best in English Literature. Throughout the School the reading matter is carefully selected and in the fourth year of the Upper School history of English Literature is studied. After this the work consists chiefly in the writing of compositions and the critical study of English masterpieces, especially those required for College entrance examinations. 3FmtrIj anil g>patti0l) In these courses the aim is to enable the pupil to read the languages at sight and speak and write them easily. In order to acquire a good pronunciation, the study of French should be begun in the Lower School, the lessons at first being in the form of convcrsation and easy reading. Afterward grammar and trans­ lation are begun. In the last year of the Course, French composition, History and Literature are studied. French or Spanish may be begun in the third year of the Upper School and carried to the point required �8 ST. HELEN’S HALL for admission to college or beyond it as may be desired. Attention is paid to pronunciation, conversation and sight reading, as well as to grammar and translation, and French and Spanish songs and plays form a part of the course. Hatxn m\b ($r*ek “Latin and Greek are not regarded as dead languages except in the sense that all language of books not in our era is dead. They are living in the sense that the Eng­ lish of Chaucer and the Italian of Dante are alive, dead only to those to whom for lack of knowledge they are sealed books.”—(Cambridge School Manual.) A four years’ course of Latin is provided, including beside the usual college requirements of Caesar, Cicero, Virgil, Ovid and prose composition, and sight reading (Levy & Horace). The course in Greek covers three years; the previous work in Latin having prepared the pupil for its intelli­ gent study. The first year is given to grammar and exercises, the second to Xenophon, the third to Homer. It is desirable, though not essential, that pupils prepar­ ing for college should elect Greek as their third lan­ guage. Sfiatonj The study of History is begun in the Lower School and continued to the end of the school course. In the College Preparatory Course it is necessarily �ST. HELEN’S HALL 9 limited to college requirements, which, however, are constantly increasing both as to quantity and quality. In the General Course five courses of History are offered. The topical method is approved, collateral reading is encouraged. Maps are drawn, and historical geography is held to be an important part of the work. History and English are intimately associated; pupils being required to commit to memory historical poems, and to write compositions on subjects drawn from his­ torical lessons. The school is fortunate in possessing a fairly good, though small, library of history, and litera­ ture bearing upon it. iflatljemattni “In teaching mathematics the aim is to develop the spirit of enquiry, the habit of accuracy in reasoning, and the love of truth.” (Cambridge School Manual.) The prescribed course comprises Arithmetic, Alge­ bra, Plane and Solid Geometry. Throughout the course original work is encouraged, and set rules are avoided. The pupils are encouraged to rely as little as possible upon text books. $rintrr This department is conducted in accordance with the best scientific methods. Natural History is taught in connection with Geography in the Lower School. In the Upper School the subjects are taken up as indicated in the course of study. Laboratory work is required of all students of Chemistry and Physics, and the use of the �10 ST. HELEN’S HALL microscope of all students of Botany and Physiology. It is considered that one or two sciences, each thoroughly studied for not less than one year, will do more for the pupil's intellectual development than a large amount of superficial work.

Resident pupils attend service on Sunday morning in one of the city churches. Mubxc Pupils may study music, piano, violin, vocal, musical theory, harmony, etc., in the school. Two half-hour lessons a week are usually given, and at least one hour a day must be spent in practice; this time may be in­ creased according to the ability of the pupil. The tech­ nical work is drawn from the best sources, and pieces �ST. HELEN’S HALL 11 are selected from the great mass of old and new musical literature, according to the needs of the students. When they are sufficiently advanced, ensemble playing, duos, trios and quartettes may be studied. Pupils are encouraged to attend the concerts offered throughout the season in the city. Art The school of the Portland Art Association offers special advantages to those wishing to study Art. The course includes elementary drawing, painting, modelling, sketching, composition, portrait and life study. Advanced students may also join the Art Iiistory and the Composition Class. Work in applied design is permitted when the pupils are sufficiently advanced to carry out the principles studied. Art students may also join a class in Arts and Crafts, or may take special training in metal work, wood carving, etc. •gliysiral (Ettllurr The school has the use of a well equipped gymnasium. Special attention is given to aesthetic dancing and military drill. The school also has tennis courts for outdoor exercise. A riding school near by furnishes horses and grooms at a moderate charge for small riding parties. Dancing, indoor games and all girlish amusements are encouraged. Pupils may form a class for dancing lessons if desired. �ST.

HELEN’S HALL The advance deposit is required to secure a room be­ fore the school opens and is used to meet the expenses of school supplies. An account of money used for per­ sonal expenses will be rendered at the close of the school year, and any surplus returned. The laundry work included in the regular charges does not include white skirts, dresses, or thin waists. Dresses or thin waists are not allowed to be worn from November 1 to April 1. All arrangements are made for the entire school year. Pupils withdrawn before the end of the year will be charged in full, ex­ cept in cases of severe illness, when the loss will be equally shared. This is a distinct condition of the contract. The cause of removal must be attested by two physicians, one of whom shall be the attending physician of the school. No deduction is made for occasional absence, nor for absence during the first four weeks. It is assumed that these conditions are accepted when the pupil is entered, this being the custom of all schools in good standing. No reduction will be made for absence of less than six weeks. W hen desired, pupils may remain at the school during Christmas and Easter vacations, and for that time will be charged at the rate of two dollars a day. No bills will be paid for pupils, nor money advanced to them unless a deposit has been made for that purpose, and pupils are not allowed to have running accounts at any store in the city. A monthly allowance is recommended as tending to give a young girl a proper sense of the value of money and responsibility in the use of it. �ST. HELEN’S HALL 25 (Htjp tfinmp I he home life of St. Helen’s Hall aims to be that of a well-regulated household, in which the general tone is wholesome and happy. A Sister, assisted by the resi­ dent nurse, has the care of the pupils’ health. Especial attention is paid to manners and bearing. A short list of correspondents and visitors, signed by the parents, is required. Letters addressed to others than those on the list will be forwarded unopened to parents or guardians. During the term no pupil will be allowed to pass a night in town out of the school building except with her parents or near relatives. Pupils may not visit any­ where without the consent of parents or guardians. They may receive their friends on Saturdays and on week days out of school hours. Visitors will not be ad­ mitted on Sunday, except parents and members of the immediate family. Strangers must bring a letter of in­ troduction from parents or guardian. The pupils will be allowed to visit on Saturday those friends in the city whom the parents may designate, pro­ vided those friends accompany them to and from the school, as they may not go about the city unaccompanied at any time. Resident pupils will be allowed once in each month to spend Saturday and Sunday away from the school. Pupils whose homes are not in Portland are required to be resident pupils at the school. The intention is to have the school family consist of earnest girls who will cheerfully adapt themselves to such regulations as are found necessary. No pupil who shows herself impa­ tient of control, or whose general tone and influence Is harmful, can be permitted to remain in the school. �26 ST. HELEN’S HALL Satii} §>rijrl>iil?

D., and opened SeptemA ^ ber, 1869, with Miss Mary B. H Rodney as Principal. The ground upon which the school was first sN] built was secured through the lib­ erality ol Mr. John D. Wolfe and his daughter, Miss Catherine Wolfe, of New York City, whose large-hearted generosity should ever be remembered in recalling the early history of this institution. The school continued its work in the original building on Fourth Street, between Madison and Jefferson, until the year 1890, when the property was sold to the City of Portland, for the use of the City Hall. On the 9th of June of that year, the corner stone of the large and commodious building at Park and St. Clair Streets was laid, and on the 24th of February, 1891, the school was moved to its new home. wm % I dJk Miss Mary Rodney died April 15th, 1896, and the work was carried on by her sisters, the Misses Rodney until the close of the school year. At the opening of the next year, Miss Eleanor Tebbetts, Ph. D., became the principal and remained in that office till the end of June, 1904, when, by the request of the Board of �ST. HELEN’S HALL Trustees, the Sisters of St. John Baptist (founded at Clewer, England, in 1857, and affiliated in this country in 1881), undertook the charge of the school. Ihe work has been steadily carried on since that time, and has met, as all believe, a very real need in the Diocese, and been blessed with increased usefulness. The school building was destroyed by fire on Septem­ ber 3, 1914. Since then a commodious kindergarten building and a temporary building for the Day School have been placed on that site. Owing to the overcrowd­ ing of the latter, the Portland Academy on Thirteenth Street, between Montgomery and Hall, with its excel­ lent class rooms, playgrounds, and out of door gymnasiurn, has been leased by the Trustees of St. Helen’s Hall, and will be occupied as the house of residence, and for the Lower and Upper Schools for both day pupils and boarders. The aim of St. Helen’s Hall is to provide for girls the best possible facilities for complete education This means not only the cultivation of the intellect and the acquirement of graceful, womanly accomplishments , but also such moral and religious training as shall help the pupils to become pure, true women, with a high, posilive standard of Christian living. Pagc Four �ST. HELEN’S HALL (Hljr §>ri|onl Th,e interior administration of the school has been entrusted to the Sisters of St. John Baptist, who have the general superintendence of every department. In secular studies they are assisted by a staff of efficient instructors, either college graduates, or teachers espe­ cially trained for their work. A daily record is kept of the attendance, scholarship, and deportment of every pupil, and a report of the same is mailed to parents at the close of each quarter. Pupils failing, after a fair trial, to attain the required standard of scholarship or deportment, will not be re­ tained in the school. The Sister Superior will always be glad to receive visits from the parents of pupils. Departments The school consists of three departments—the Lower School and Upper School, and Kindergarten. The Lower School includes the six classes covering in English and Arithmetic the same ground as the Ele­ mentary public school to the Seventh Grade, but with a broader range of subjects. The Upper School covers six years and is divided into two courses—The College Preparatory Course and the General Course. Two extra years of either Col- Page Five �ST. HELEN’S HALL legiate or Special work may be taken if desired. The First and Second Forms of the Upper School correspond with the Seventh and Eighth grades of the Public School, and the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Forms corres­ pond with the four years of the High School work. Be­ ginning with the Third Form, the Upper School is div­ ided into College Preparatory Course and the General Course. The College Preparatory Course is so arranged as to meet the requirements of the leading Eastern col­ leges without undue pressure. The General Course is intended for pupils desiring to lay the foundation of a broad general education, and meets the requirements of those universities and col­ leges which do not require four years’ preparatory work in Latin. In it the time, which in the College Prepara­ tory Course is necessarily spent in Latin, is devoted to Literature, History and Modern Languages. Much of the work is common to both courses, and the standard of thoroughness is the same. The certificate of St. Helen’s Hall is accepted in­ stead of entrance examinations at the State Universities of Oregon, Washington and California, and the work is accepted by the Eastern Colleges according to the new entrance requirements. Music, Art and Elocution count as regular elective studies in the General Course. A four-years’ course in any one of these subjects, satisfactorily completed, will be taken into account for graduation. fn both the General and the College Preparatory Course, twenty credits are required for graduation, each Page Six �ST. HELEN’S HALL credit representing a year’s work of five recitations a week. From seventeen to twenty-four recitations a week are required of all pupils. Either course, fully com­ pleted, entitles a pupil to the diploma of the school. The aim in this course is to give pupils thorough in­ struction in English Grammar and Rhetoric, to enable them to write with ease and accuracy, and to teach them to appreciate what is best in English Literature. Throughout the School the reading matter is carefully selected and in the fourth year of the Upper School history of English Literature is studied. After this the work consists chiefly in the writing of compositions and the critical study of English masterpieces, especially those required for College entrance examinations. 3fmtrlLan& gqjanistj In these courses the aim is to enable the pupil to read the languages at sight and speak and write them easily. In order to acquire a good pronunciation, the study of French should be begun in the Lower School, the lessons at first being in the form of conver­ sation and easy reading. Afterward grammar and trans­ lation are begun. In the last year of the Course, French composition, History and Literature are studied. French or Spanish may be begun in the third year of the Upper School and carried to the point required Page Seven �ST. HELEN’S HALL for admission to college or beyond it as may be desired. Attention is paid to pronunciation, conversation and sight reading, as well as to grammar and translation, and French and Spanish songs and plays form a part of the course. iCatin anti (g>rpflt "Latin and Greek are not regarded as dead languages except in the sense that all language of books not in our era is dead. They are living in the sense that the Eng­ lish of Chaucer and the Italian of Dante arc alive, dead only to those to whom for lack of knowledge they are sealed books."—(Cambridge School Manual.) A four years course of Latin is provided, including beside the usual college requirements of Caesar, Cicero, Virgil, Ovid and prose composition, and sight reading. Livy and Horace. 1 he course in Greek covers three years; the previous work in Latin having prepared the pupil for its intelli­ gent study. The first year is given to grammar and exercises, the second to Xenophon, the third to Homer. It is desirable, though not essential, that pupils prepar­ ing for college should elect Greek as their third lan­ guage. history I he study of History is begun in the Lower School and continued to the end of the school course, In the College Preparatory Course it is necessarily Page Eight �ST. HELEN’S HALL limited to college requirements, which, however, are constantly increasing both as to quantity and quality. In the General Course five courses of History are offered. The topical method is approved, collateral reading in encouraged. Maps are drawn, and historical geography is held to be an important part of the work. History and English are intimately associated; pupils being required to commit to memory historical poems, and to write compositions on subjects drawn from his­ torical lessons. The school is fortunate in possessing a fairly good, though small, library of history, and litera­ ture bearing upon it. fflatftrmattrfl “In teaching mathematics the aim is to develop the spirit of enquiry, the habit of accuracy in reasoning, and the love of truth." (Cambridge School Manual.) The prescribed course comprises Arithmetic, Alge­ bra and Plane Geometry. Elective, Solid Geometry and Trigonometry. Throughout the course original work is encouraged and set rules are avoided. The pupils are encouraged to rely as little as posihle upon text books. j^rienr? This department is conducted in accordance with the best scientific methods. Natural History is taught in connection with Geography in the Lower School. In the Upper School the subjects are taken up as indicated in the course of study. Laboratory work is required of all students of Chemistry and Physics, and the use of the Page Nine �ST. HELEN’S HALL microscope of all students of Botany and Physiology. It is considered that one or two sciences, each thoroughly studied for not less than one year, will do more for the pupil’s intellectual development than a larger amount of superficial work. Smncfltir &rmtr? Cookery—Laboratory and lecture classes in the theory and practice of cookery, together with modifica­ tion of its law's.

The laundry work included in the regular charges does not include white skirts, dresses, or thin waists. Dresses or thin waists are not allowed to be worn from November 1 to April 1.

No deduction is made for occasional absence, nor for absence during the first four weeks. It is assumed that these conditions are accepted when the pupil is entered, this being the custom of all schools in good standing. No reduction will be made for absence of less than six weeks. When desired, pupils may remain at the school during Christmas and Easter vacations, and for that time will be charged at the rate of two dollars a day. No bills will be paid for pupils, nor money advanced to them, unless a deposit has been made for that purpose, and pupils are not allowed to have running accounts at any store in the city. r.

HELEN’S HALL ®Ite Suiuu> 'I'he home life of St. Helen’s Hall aims to be that of a well-regulated household, in which the general tone is wholesome and happy. A Sister, assisted ’by the resi­ dent nurse, has the care of the pupils’ health. Especial attention is paid to manners and bearing. A short list of correspondents and visitors, signed by the parents, is required. Letters addressed to others than those on the list will be forwarded unopened to parents or guardians. During the term no pupil will be allowed to pass a night in town out of the school building except with her parents or near relatives. Pupils may not visit any­ where without the consent of parents or guardians. They may receive their friends on Saturdays and on week days out of school hours. Visitors will not be ad­ mitted on Sunday, cxceot parents and members of the immediate family. Strangers must bring a letter of in­ troduction from parents or guardian. The pupils will be allowed to visit on Saturday those friends in the city whom the parents inav designate, pro­ vided those friends accompany them to and from the school, as they may not go about the city unaccom­ panied at any time. Resident pupils will be allowed once in each month to spend Saturday and Sunday away from the school. Pupils whose homes are not in Portland arc required to be resident pupils at the school. The intention is to have the school family consist of earnest girls who will cheerfully adapt themselves to such regulations as are found necessary, No pupil who shows herself impatient of control, or whose general tone and influence is harmful. can be permitted to remain in the school.

Wistar iij J Morris, D. D„, and opened September, 1869, with Miss Mary B. Rodney as Principal. The ground upon which the school was first VJ ^ built was secured through the lib­ erality of Mr. John D. Wolfe and his daughter, Miss Catherine Wolfe, of New York City, whose large-hearted generosity should ever be remembered in recalling the early history of this institution. a is St. Helen's Hall is now situated on Thirteenth Street, between Montgomery and Hall. The building is adapted for the accommodation of from thirty to forty Resident pupils, and a large number of Day pupils. There are excellent class rooms, tennis courts, a spacious play­ ground, and an outdoor gymnasium. In June, 1904, by the request of the Board of Trustees, the Sisters of St. John Baptist (founded at Clewer, England, in 1857, and affiliated in this country in 1881), undertook the charge of the school. �ST. HELEN’S HALL The work has been steadily carried on since that time, and has met, as all believe, a very real need in the Diocese, and been blessed with increased usefulness. The aim of St. Helen’s Iiall is to provide for girls the best possible facilities for complete education. This means not only the cultivation of the intellect and the acquirement of graceful, womanly accomplishments, but also such moral and religious training as shall help the pupils to become pure, true women, with a high, posi­ tive standard of Christian living. Page Four �ST. HELEN’S HALL S>d}onl The interior administration of the school has been entrusted to the Sisters of St. John Baptist, who have the general superintendence of every department. In secular studies they are assisted by a staff of efficient instructors, either college graduates, or teachers espe­ cially trained for their work. A daily record is kept of the attendance, scholarship, and deportment of every pupil, and a report of the same is mailed to parents at the close of each quarter. Pupils failing, after a fair trial, to attain the required standard of scholarship or deportment, will not be re­ tained in the school. The Sister Superior will always be glad to receive visits from the parents of pupils. apartments The school consists of three departments—the Lower School and Upper School, and Kindergarten. The Lower School includes the six classes covering in English and Arithmetic the same ground as the Ele­ mentary public school to the Seventh Grade, but with a broader range of subjects. The Upper School covers six years and is divided into two courses—The College Preparatory Course and the General Course. Two extra years of either Col- Page Five �ST. HELEN’S HALL legiate or Special work may be taken if desired. The First and Second Forms of the Upper School correspond with the Seventh and Eighth grades of the Public School, and the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Forms corres­ pond with the four years of the High School work. Be­ ginning with the Third Form, the Upper School is div­ ided into College Preparatory Course and the General Course. The College Preparatory Course is so arranged as to meet the requirements of the leading Eastern col­ leges without undue pressure. The General Course is intended for pupils desiring to lay the foundation of a broad general education, and meets the requirements of those universities and col­ leges which do not require four years’ preparatory work in Latin. In it the time, which in the College Prepara­ tory Course is necessarily spent in Latin, is devoted to Literature, History and Modern Languages. Much of the work is common to both courses, and the standard of thoroughness is the same. The certificate of St. Helen’s Hall is accepted in­ stead of entrance examinations at the State Universities of Oregon, Washington and California, and the work is accepted by the Eastern Colleges according to the new entrance requirements. Music, Art and Elocution count as regular elective studies in the General Course. A four-years’ course in any one of these subjects, satisfactorily completed, will be taken into account for graduation. In both the General and the College Preparatory Course, twenty credits are required for graduation, each Page Six �ST. HELEN’S HALL legiate or Special work may be taken if desired.

From seventeen to twenty-four recitations a week are required of all pupils. Either course, fully com­ pleted, entitles a pupil to the diploma of the school. The aim in this course is to give pupils thorough in­ struction in English Grammar and Rhetoric, to enable them to write with ease and accuracy, and to teach them to appreciate what is best in English Literature. Throughout the School the reading matter is carefully selected and in the fourth year of the Upper School history of English Literature is studied, After this the work consists chiefly in the writing of compositions and the critical study of English masterpieces, especially those required for College entrance examinations. iFmtrlj auh &jiuuiiil| In these courses the aim is to enable the pupil to read the languages at sight and speak and write them easily. In order to acquire a good pronunciation, the study of French should be begun in the Lower School, the lessons at first being in the form of conver­ sation and easy reading. Afterward grammar and trails lation are begun. In the last year of the Course, French composition, History and Literature are studied. French or Spanish may be begun in the third year of the Upper School and carried to the point required Putfe Scvc i �ST. HELEN’S HALL for admission to college or beyond it as may be desired. Attention is paid to pronunciation, conversation and sight reading, as well as to grammar and translation, and French and Spanish songs and plays form a part of the course. Uattn anfo tek “Latin and Greek are not regarded as dead languages except in the sense that all language of books not in our era is dead. They are living in the sense that the English of Chaucer and the Italian of Dante are alive, dead only to those to whom for lack of knowledge they are sealed books.”—(Cambridge School Manual.) A four years’ course of Latin is provided, including beside the usual college requirements of Caesar, Cicero, Virgil, Ovid and prose composition, and sight reading, Livy and Horace. The course in Greek covers three years; the previous work in Latin having prepared the pupil for its intelli­ gent study. The first year is given to grammar and exercises, the second to Xenophon, the third to Homer. It is desirable, though not essential, that pupils prepar­ ing for college should elect Greek as their third lan­ guage. ^tBtary The study of History is begun in the Lower School and continued to the end of the school course. In the College Preparatory Course it is necessarily Page Eight �ST. HELEN’S HALL limited to college requirements, which, however, are constantly increasing both as to quantity and quality. In the General Course five courses of History are offered. The topical method is approved, collateral reading is encouraged. Maps are drawn, and historical geography is held to be an important part of the work. History and English are intimately associated; pupils being required to commit to memory historical poems, and to write compositions on subjects drawn from his­ torical lessons. The school is fortunate in possessing a fairly good, though small, library of history, and litera­ ture bearing upon it. “In teaching mathematics the aim is to develop the spirit of enquiry, the habit of accuracy in reasoning, and the love of truth.” (Cambridge School Manual.) The prescribed course comprises Arithmetic, Alge­ bra and Plane Geometry. Elective, Solid Geometry and Trigonometry. Throughout the course original work is encouraged and set rules are avoided. The pupils are encouraged to rely as little as posible upon text books. This department is conducted in accordance with the best scientific methods. Natural History is taught in connection with Geography in the Lower School. In the Upper School the subjects are taken up as indicated in the course of study. Laboratory work is required of all students of Chemistry and Physics, and the use of the Page Nine �ST. HELEN’S HALL microscope of all students of Botany and Physiology. It is considered that one or two sciences, each thoroughly studied for not less than one year, will do more for the pupil’s intellectual development than a larger amount of superficial work. Smuentir §>rtrun? Cookery—Laboratory and lecture classes in the theory and practice of cookery, together with modifica­ tion of its laws. Foods—Their history, care, composition, cost and nutritive value. Pl’ain Hand and Machine Sewing—Bringing into use the primary stitches with their modifications and combi­ nations, and developing the simpler rules of garmeni making. Brli^tnua dlnatrurtimi All pupils receive instruction in Holy Scripture, Church Catechism and the History of the Church, and attend the daily services in the Chapel of the School. Resident pupils attend service on Sunday morning in one of the city churches. $tuair Pupils may study music, piano, violin, vocal, musical theory, harmony, etc., in the school. Two half-hour lessons a week are usually given and at least one hour a day must be spent in practice; this time may be in­ creased according to the ability of the pupil. The tech­ nical work is drawn from the best sources, and pieces Page Ten �ST. HELEN’S HALL are selected from the great mass of old and new musical literature, according to the needs of the students. When they are sufficiently advanced, ensemble playing, duos, trios and quartettes may be studied, Pupils are encouraged to attend the concerts offered throughout the season in the city. Art The school of the Portland Art Association offers special advantages to those wishing to study Art. The course includes elementary drawing, painting, modelling, sketching, composition, portrait and life study. Advanced students may also join the Art History and the Composition Class Work in applied design is per­ mitted when the pupils are sufficiently advanced to carry out the principles studied, Art students may also join a class in Arts and Crafts, or may take special training in metal work, wood carving, etc. JIljyBiral (Enltun? Physical training is given careful attention and is under the direction of a competent director. For a short period daily the pupils have gymasium in the open air. Special attention is given to Aesthetic Dancing and Military Drill. The school also has tennis courts for outdoor exercise, and a spacious playground. Pace Eleven �ST. HELEN’S HALL A riding school near by furnishes horses and grooms at a moderate charge for small riding parties. Dancing, indoor games and all girlish amusements are encouraged. Pupils may form a class for dancing lessons if desired. A resident trained nurse has charge of the general health of the pupils. In a-ll cases of illness requiring special care, a trained nurse is engaged at the expense of the pupil. Page Twelve < �ST.

The work of the first four Forms is designed to give a thorgh foundation in fundamental processes, methods of study, habits of thoroughness and accuracy, and the beginnings of a cultural background. From the first, all subjects arc carefully correlated and the child’s information increased as its experiences and ability justity. Individual attention is given phonetics and dramatic expres­ sion, in the belief that enunciation and self-expression are essential to clear thinking and intelligent appreciation in later work. ■ 'U FIRST FORM, READING: Riverside Primer.

When desired, pupils may remain at the school during Christmas and Easter vacations, and for that time will be charged at the rate of two dollars a day. No bills will be paid for pupils, nor money advanced to them, unless a deposit has been made for that purpose, and pupils are not allowed to have running accounts at any store in the city. A monthly allowance is recommended as tending to give a young girl a proper sense of the value of money and responsibility in the use of it. Page Twenty-four �s TJfaU REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS Each Pupil must be provided with: Two pairs of sheets for single bed, and comfortable. Bible, Prayerbook and Hymnal. Two pairs of pillow cases, 23 inches. Six table napkins and napkin ring. Six towels and four bath towels. Shoe bag, two clothes bags and two bureau scarfs. Dressing gown, bedroom slippers, overshoes and hot water bag. It is very desirable that the school girl’s wardrobe should be simple and refined, therefore for school wear midi blouses and plain skirts or dress of thick material and shoes with low heels are expected, and for dinner and evening wear no elaborate dresses are allowed. Attractive and stylish clothes are desirable but all should be in keeping with a high standard of modesty and with what is required in all first class schools. Expensive jewelry may not be brought to school. All articles of clothing must be plainly marked with the full name. Pupils may bring for their room a few framed pictures only. Posters and unframed pictures, pennants, curtains and other draperies are not allowed. Magazines, newspapers and telegrams will not be delivered unless approved. All books brought into the school must be approved. It is requested that all dress-making and dentistry be attended to at home.

Requests from parents and all business communications should be sent directly to the . Sister Superior and not through the pupil. �ST. HELEN’S HALL i ; The home life of St. Helen’s Hall aims to be that of a well-regulated household, in which the general tone is wholesome and happy. A Sister, assisted 'by the resi­ dent nurse, has the care of the pupils’ health. Especial attention is paid to manners and bearing. A short list of correspondents and visitors, signed by the parents, is required. Letters addressed to others than those on the list will be forwarded unopened to parents or guardians. During the term no pupil will be allowed to pass a night in town out of the school building except with her parents or near relatives. Pupils may not visit any­ where without the consent of parents or guardians. They may receive their friends on Saturdays and on week days out of school hours. Visitors will not be ad­ mitted on Sunday, except parents and members of the immediate family. Strangers must bring a letter of in­ troduction from parents or guardian. The pupils will be allowed to visit on Saturday those friends in the city whom the parents may designate, pro­ vided those friends accompany them to and from the school, as they may not go about the city unaccom­ panied at any time. Resident pupils will be allowed once in each month to spend Saturday and Sunday away from the school. Pupils whose homes are not in Portland are required to be resident pupils at the school. The intention is to have the school family consist of earnest girls who will cheerfully adapt themselves to such regulations as are found necessary. No pupil who shows herself impa­ tient of control, or whose general tone and influence is harmful, can be permitted to remain in the school. Page Twenty-five !; i i �ST.

In June, 1904, by the request of ^ the Board of Trustees, the Sisters of St. John Baptist undertook the charge of the school. #1m The work has been steadily carried on since that time, and has met, as all 'believe, a very real need in the Diocese, and been blessed with increased usefulness. I The aim of S't. Helen’s Hall is to provide for girls the best possible facilities for complete education. This means not only the cultivation of the intellect and the acquirement of graceful, womanly accomplishments, but also such moral and religious training; as shall help the pupils to become pure, true women, with a high, posi­ tive: standard of Christian living, to* bring out in every girl some qualities of leadership, and to develop a right sense of her personal responsibility, so that she may be­ come a power for good in her home, and in the com­ munity in which she lives. 3 �\ \ ; : : ! v Ift i m: aj I 1 . : mm ■! .. h |r • ; ' i ! i I1 ! ? < �If i/ ■ ■ Ji £: 1 r i <1 £ ’if: I S ii:b ■ ;l ‘ 1 jl St. Helen’s Hall is now situated on Thirteenth Street, between Montgomery and Hall Streets. It is a i handsome three-story brick building, adapted for the accommodation of about thirty-five resident pupils, and i a large number of day pupils. There are excellent class < rooms with all the necessary equipment to meet the : > » | demands of a modern standardized school, large sunny . !' halls of unusual attractiveness, spacious grounds, and an out-door gymnasium where tennis, basketball, and sports of all kinds are played throughout the year. J ! 5 I. I•t ; �! » r jtv £ i I I: The interior administration of the school has been entrusted to the Sisters of St. John Baptist, who have the. general superintendence of every department. In secular studies they are assisted by a staff of efficient instructors, college graduates, especially trained for their wotk. 3: ' I !• l i A daily record is kept of the attendance, scholarship, and deportment of every pupil, and a report of the same is mailed to parents at the close of each quarter. ; Pupils failing, after a fair trial, to attain the required standard of scholarship or deportment, will not be re­ tained in the school. The Sister Superior will always be glad to receive visits from the parents of pupils. Sejjarlmrnts The school consists of three department: a Musical Kindergarten, the Lower School and the Upper School. I 1 ; 1) i The Lower School includes the six classes covering rn English and Arithmetic the same ground as the Ele­ mentary public school to the Seventh Grade, but with a broader range of subjects. The Upper School covers six years and is divided into two courses—The College Preparatory Course and the General Course. Two extra years of either col6 fu !; I i = ■ �legiate or special work may be taken if desired. The First and Second Forms of the Upper School correspond with the Seventh and Eighth grades of the Public School, and the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Forms correspond with the four years of the High School work. Beginning with the Third Form, the Upper School is divided into College Preparatory Course and the General Course. St. Helen's ITall is a standard school of Oregon, and is accredited to all the Western College and Univer­ sities. This allows students to enter without examinations. And the work is accepted by the Eastern Cdlleges according to the new entrance requirements, The passing grade of the School is 75 per cent. The recom­ mending grade of the School to Western Universities is 85 per cent. For entrance to Stanford University on the preferred list, and for the Eastern Colleges an aver­ age of 90 per cent is required. The College Course is especially for pupils prepar­ ing for Eastern Colleges. All Eastern Colleges are not uniform in their requirements, but entrance examinations are necesjary for all.Therefore it is advisable for students preparing for them, to take their preliminary examina­ tions at the end of the second year, and in some instances one or two may be taken at the end of the first year. This allows a better distribution of the work and lessens the strain of the Senior year. 7 �I 1 1 :• i 1 n m: ■ ■ I m v ■ 8 ■ i •• �' : ii i , I We urge parents who intend to send their daughters to College, to register them in one or more Colleges or Universities very early in the'i'r school life. This step is necessary because of the crowded condition of these institutions, especially so of the major eastern colleges. It is also a wise one because the pupil s preparatory work may then be definitely planned to fit her for whatever college sJhe desires to enter, without undue pressure in her Junior and Senior year. In the General Course no credit will be given for less than two years’ work in any language. German or Spanish may be substituted for French throughout the course. Pupils may enter any class for which they are prepared, but the Diploma of St. Helen s Hall is not given for less than two years’ attendance. This course meets the requirements of all Western Universities and Colleges. The General Course is intended for pupils desiring to lay the foundation of a broad general education, and meets the requirements of those universities and col­ leges which do not require four years’ preparatory work in Latin. In it the time, which in the College Preparatory Course is necessarily spent in Latin, is devoted to Literature, History and Modern Languages, Much of the work is common to both courses, and the standard of thoroughness is the same. I H ' ; Ii \ ; < Ii !: ii ill s H Music, Art and Elocution count as regular elective studies in the* General Course. A four-years course in 9 !l I 1 ' f. ; �: w I: i; i .• ; b\ any one of these subjects, satisfactorily completed, will be taken into account for graduation. < \i Engltelj V i \ f ! The aim in thi’s course is to give pupils thorough instruction in English Grammar and Rhetoric, to enable them to write with ease and ac­ curacy, and to teach them to appreciate what is best in English Literature. Throughout the School the read­ ing matter is carefully selected and in the fourth and fifth years of the Upper School history of English Lit­ erature is studied. After this the work consists chiefly in the writing of compositions and the critical study of English masterpieces, especially those required for College Entrance Examinations. In these courses the aim is to enable the pupil to ' read the languages at sight and speak and write them easily. 3Fmtclj anil Slants!) j \):: li f I‘ i *1 In order to acquire a good pronunciation, the study of French should be begun in the Lower School, the lessons at first being in the form of conversation and easy reading. Afterward grammar and translation are begun. In the last year of the course, French composi­ tion, history and literature are studied. French or Spanish may be begun in the third year of the Upper School and carried to the point required for admission to college or beyond it as may be de­ sired. Attention is paid to pronunciation, conversation u ; ; )\ 10 �and sight reading, as well as to grammar and transla­ tion, and French and Spanish songs and plays form a part of the course. “Latin and Greek are not regarded as dead languages except in the sense that all language of books not in our era is dead. They are living in the sense that the English of Chaucer and the Italian of Dante are alive, dead only to those to whom for lack of knowledge they are sealed books.”— JLnt'm a«& 8rwk (Cambridge School Mannual.) A four years* course in Latin is provided, meeting the usual college requirements in Caesar, Cicero, Virgil, Ovid, sight reading, and prose composition, adapted to the new comprehensive examinations of the College En­ trance Board. The course in Greek covers thre.e years, the previous I I work in Latin having prepared the pupil for its intelli­ gent study. The first year is given to grammar and exercises, the second to Xenophon, the third to Homer. It is desirable, though not essential, that pupils prepar ing for college should elect Greek as their third language. i!' •! \ , ) The study of History is begun in the Lower School and continued to the end of the school course. In the Cbliegei Preparatory Course it 1 necessarily limited to the Eastern college requirements Siiatarg 1 6 11 . ii : �which, however, are constantly increasing both as to quantity and quality. In the General Course five courses of history are offered. The topical method is approved, collateral reading is encouraged. Maps are drawn, and historical geography is held to be an important part of the work. History and English are intimately associ­ ated, pupils being required to commit to memory his­ torical poems, and to write compositions on subjects drawn from historical lessons. The school is fortunate in possessing a fairly good, though small, library of history, and literature bearing upon it. “In teaching mathematics the aim is to develop the spirit of enquiry, the habit of accuracy in reasoning, and the love of truth." (Cam­ bridge School Manual) i®atl|mattr0 The prescribed course comprises Arithmetic, Alge­ bra and Plane Geometry; elective, Solid Geometry and Trigonometry. Throughout the course original work is encouraged and set rules are avoided. The pupils are encouraged to lely as little as possible upon text books. Phis department is conducted in accordance with the best scientific methods. NaturalPIistory is taught in connection with Geography in the Lower School. In the Upper School the subjects are taken up as indicated in the course of study, Laboratory work is required of all students of science. It is Btxtntt 12 �considered that one or two sciences, each thoroughly studied for not less than one year, will do more for the pupil’s intellectual development than a larger amount of superficial work. Cookery—Laboratory and lecture classes in the theory and practice of cookery, together with modification of its laws. Somealtr Satire Foods—Their history, care, composition, cost and nutritiv-e value. Plain Hand and Machine Sewing—Bringing into use the primary stitches with their modifications and combi­ nations, and developing the simpler rules of garment making. This course is both cultural and practical as no student is received solely for the business training. g^mtarial (ttmtnu? All pupils receive instruction Holy Scripture and the History of the Church, and attend the daily services in the Chapel of the School. Resident pupils attend service on Sunday morning in one of the city Churches. SWtgious iuBtrurtimt • Pupils may study music, piano, violin, voice, theory, harmony, etc., in the school.

The technical work is drawn from the best sources, and pieces are selected from the great mass of old and new musical literature, according to the needs of the students. When they are sufficiently advanced, ensemble playing, duos, trios and quartettes may be studied. Pupils arc encouraged to attend the concerts offered throughout the season in the city. For advanced students a course in History of Music is offered. . y t B HO M I i 1 * < C ! The school of the Portland Art Association of­ Art fers special advantages to those wishing to study Art, and a noted Portland artist is on the teach­ ing staff of the School. The course includes elementary drawing, painting, modeling, sketching, composition, portrait and life study. Advanced students may also join the Art History and the Composition Class. Work in applied design is permitted when the pupils are suf­ ficiently advanced to carry out the principles studied.

Regular outof-door work is expected of all students. A physical ex­ amination of new students is required, that they may be guarded against the danger of overfatigue or too stren­ uous exercise. This examination may be made by the family physician or by the school physician.

Intejrclass and interscholastic basket-ball and tennis-matches are held each year,—not in order to make records, but to encourage the spirit of true sport.

K .^ 2 'i t From the first, all subjects are carefully correlated and the child’s information increased as its experiences and ability justify. l . i< Individual attention is given phonetics and dramatic expression, in the belief that enunciation and self-expression are essential to clear thinking and intelligent appreciation in later work.

Hr Hi 11! i! ! 11 The home life of St. Helen’s Hall aims to be that of a well-regulated household, in which the general tone is Wholesome and happy. A Sister, assisted by the resident nurse, 'has the care of the pupils’ health. Especi'al atten­ tion is paid' to manners and bearing. A short list of correspondents and visitors, signed by the parents, is required. Letters addressed to others than those on the list will be forwarded unopened to parents or guardians. Luring the term no pupil will be allowed to pass a night in town out of the school building except with her relatives or friends approved by the parents with the consent of the Sister Superior. Pupils m'ay not visit any­ where without the consent of parents or guardians. They may receive their friends on Saturdays and on week days out of school hours. Parents and members of the im­ mediate family may visit the pupils on Sunday also. Strangers must bring a letter of introductionfromparents or guardian. i The pupils will be allowed to visit on Saturday those friends in the city whom the parents may designate, pro­ vided those friends accompany them to and from the school, as they may not go about the city unaccompanied at any time. Those desiring it, h'ave the privilege of doing a limited amount of shopping, or attending places of amusement Saturday afternoon accompanied by the School Chaperon. ill Resident pupils will be allowed once in each month to spend Saturday and Sunday away from the school. Pupils whose homes are not in Portland are required to !• : Pi ■ ’ i 26 = i ! �i -i Pi ! be resident pupils at the school, The intention is to have the school family consist of earnest girls who will cheerfully adapt themselves to such regulations as are found necessary. No pupil who shows herself impatient of control, or whose general tone and influence is harm ful, can be permitted to remain in the school. f ■I Pupils are expected at all times to keep their rooms in order. A supervised mending class is held Saturday morn­ ings for all pupils with the exception of the Seniors. The School activities of the girls have the purpose of training them not only in ease, poise, and grace of manner, but also of developing those qualities of initiative, responsibility, and tact, indispens­ able to every woman. Mortal fCtfr A splendid library containing the works of standard autliprs, is accessible, and a number of the best current magazines are provided for the use of the students. ' ■; The Glee Club, Athletic Association, dancing, birth­ day dinners, various charitable activities, and the school publication, give variety to the school routine. ? A* i Teas, recitals, two formal dances for the older girls; and, toward the end of the year, the Juniors’ formal luncheon for the Seniors, and the Alumnae Luncheon, give opportunity for more general social life. M 27 := cl :3s ■i - L I 'll I ill 1a �ARCHERY �The proximity of the School to the center of the city, enables pupils to attend the opera, symphony con­ certs, 'lectures, and plays of educational value. A limited number of scholarships are avail­ able for girls of ability. Several School honors are awarded each year at Commencement. grljnlarsfjtjts rntii ffimtnrfi The Bishop offers a competitive scholarship prize to the Junior who passes the Eastern College Enterance Board Examinations in six points with the highest aver­ age. The Pittock cups for French and English are won by the students receiving the highest grades in the same Board Examinations in these subjects; and the Alumnae Association cup and the Ball cup are given similarly for honors in Latin and Mathematics. The Alumnae Association pin is given to the Senior who obtains the highiest average in studies and deportmdnt in the Senior year; and the students compete yearly for the Medal of the National Society of Colonial Daugh­ ters, and for the Lincoln Medal. There are several cups to be won for Athletics. First Testimonials—the Plighest Honors of the! School —are awarded to pupils attaining 99 per cent in conduct for the year, 90 per ceint in attendance, 95 per cent in punctuality and order, and an average for the year of 90 per cent in each study.

In June, 1904. by the request of the Board of Trustees, the Sisters of St. John Baptist of the Episcopal Church undertook the charge of the school.

It is a handsome three-story brick building, adapted for the accommoda­ tion of about thirty-five resident pupils, and a large number of rooms with all the nec­ essary equipment to meet the demands of a modern standardized school, large sunny halls of unusual attractiveness, spacious grounds, and an outdoor gymnasium where tennis, basketball, and sports of all kinds are played throughout the year. i' 4 i !:• I I ■ i i - �8 St. Helen’s Hall THE SCHOOL The interior administration of the school has been en­ trusted to the Sisters of St. John Baptist, who have the general superintendence of every department. In secular studies they are assisted by a staff of efficient instructors, college graduates, especially trained for their work. A daily record is kept of the attendance, scholarship, and deportment of every pupil, and a report of the same is mailed to parents at the close of each quarter. Pupils failing, after a fair trial, to attain the required standard of scholarship or deportment, will not be retained in the School. The Sister Superior will always be glad to receive visits from the parents of pupils. Departments The School consists of three departments, a Kinder­ garten, the Lower School and the Upper School. The Lower School includes the six classes covering the same ground as the public school to the Seventh Grade, but with a broader range of subjects. The Upper School covers six years and is divided into two courses,—the College Preparatory Course and the General Course. Two extra years of either collegiate or special work may be taken if desired. The First and Second Forms of the Upper School correspond with the Seventh and Eighth grades of the public school, and the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Forms correspond with the four years of the High School work. The College Preparatory Course and the General Course begin with the Third Form. �St. Helen’s Hall 9 St. Helens’ Hall is a standard school of Oregon, and is accredited to all the Western Colleges and Universities. This allows students to enter without examination, and the work is accepted by the Eastern Colleges according to the new entrance requirements. The passing grade of the School is 75 per cent. The recommending grade of the School to Western Universities is 85 per cent, For entrance to Stanford University on the preferred list, and for the Eastern College an average of 90 per cent is re- S i 4 I quired. The College Course is especially for pupils preparing for Eastern Colleges. All Eastern Colleges are not uni­ form in their requirements, but entrance examinations are necessary for all. Therefore, it is advisable for students preparing for them to take their preliminary examinations at the end of the second year, and in some instances one or two may be taken at the end of the first year, This allows a better distribution of the work and lessens the strain of the Senior year. We urge parents who intend to send their daughters to college to register them in one or more colleges or univer­ sities very early in their school life. 1 his step is necessarv because of the crowded condition of these institu­ tions, especially so of the major Eastern colleges. It is also a wise one because the pupil s preparatory woik maj then be definitely planned to fit her for whatever college she desires to enter, without undue pressure in her Junior and Senior year. Tn the General Course no credit will be given foi less than two years’ work in any language, German or Spanish may be substituted for French throughout the course. Pupils may enter any class for which they are piepare . but the Diploma of St. Helen’s Flail is not given for lesb tlian two years’ attendance, This course meets the requirements of all Western Universities and Colleges. i •: i 1 ■ �/ ! _ *o -~ _ Q 5 u = j. i ; i ! £ i �K3 “V -•■ — i s St. Helen’s Hall 11 The General Course is intended for pupils desiring to lay the foundation of a broad general education, and meets the requirements of those Universities and Colleges which do not require four years of preparatory work in Latin. In it the time, which in the College Preparatory Course is necessarily spent in Latin, is devoted to Literature. His­ tory and Modern Languages. Much of the work is com­ mon to both courses, and the standard of thoroughness is the same. Music, Art and Elocution count as regular elective studies in the General Course. A four-year course in any one of these subjects, satisfactorily completed, will be taken into account for graduation. English The aim in this course is to give pupils thorough in­ struction in English Grammar and Rhetoric, to enable them to write with ease and accuracy, and to teach them to appreciate what is best in English Literature. Through­ out the School the reading matter is carefully selected and in the fourth and fifth years of the Upper School, history of English Literature is studied. After this the work consists chiefly in the writing of compositions and the critical study of English masterpieces, especially those re­ quired for College Entrance Examinations. ii 1 French and Spanish In these courses the aim is to enable the pupil to read the languages at sight and speak and write them easily. In order to acquire a good pronunciation, the study of French should be begun in the Lower School, the lessons at first being in the form of conversation and easy read­ ing. Afterward grammar and translation are begun. In the last year of the course. French composition, history and literature are studied. I I 1: �12 St. Helen’s Hall French or Spanish may be begun in the third year of the Upper School and carried to the point required for admission to College or beyond it, as may be desired. At­ tention is paid to pronunciation, conversation and sight reading, as well as to grammar and translation, and French and Spanish songs and plays form a part of the course. Latin and Greek “Latin and Greek are not regarded as dead languages except in the sense that all language of books not in our era is dead. They are living in the sense that the Eng­ lish of Chaucer and the Italian of Dante are alive, dead only to those to whom for lack of knowledge they are sealed books.”—(Cambridge School Manual.) A four years’ course in Latin is provided, meeting the usual college requirements in Qesar, Cicero. Virgil. Ovid, sight reading, and prose composition, adapted to the new comprehensive examinations of the College Entrance Board. 1; I; I; History •: I; ■ . i r The stud)- of History is begun in the Lower School and continued to the end of the school course. In the Col­ lege Preparatory Course it is necessarily limited to the Eastern College requirements, which, however, are con­ stantly increasing both as to quantity and quality, In the General Course five courses of history arc offered. The topical method is approved, collateral reading is en­ couraged. Maps are drawn, and historical geography is held to be an important part of the work. History and English are intimately associated, pupils being required to commit to memory historical poems, and to write com­ positions on subjects drawn from historical lessons. The school is fortunate in possessing a fairly good, though small, library of History and Literature bearing upon it. �!■>' •- r Sr. Helen’s Hall - 13 Mathematics “In teaching Mathematics the aim is to develop the spirit of inquiry, the habit of accuracy in reasoning, and the love of truth."—(Cambridge School Manual.) The prescribed course comprises Arithmetic, Algebra and Plane Geometry; elective. Solid Geometry and Trigo­ nometry. Throughout the course original work is encouraged and set rules are avoided. The pupils are encouraged to rely as little as possible upon text books. Science This department is conducted in accordance with the best scientific methods, Natural History is taught in connection with Geography in the Lower School, in the Upper School the subjects are taken up as indicated in the course of study. Laboratory work is required of all students of Science.

HELEN’S HALL offers to all its students, a wholesome, happy atmosphere in which they may grow from child­ hood into youth, with cultivated, disciplined minds, and with a deepening knowledge of spiritual values. Because their emotional maturing is carefully fostered, it envisions for them an integrated adulthood, free from fear and free from prejudice. In its small classes, with the guidance of trained and con­ secrated teachers, the Hall encourages, stimulates and guides the student toward the best use of her individual abilities and talents. A well-rounded program lays the foundation for an adult life, which shall offer vital service to the community. Through daily Chapel services, through daily association with its beloved Chaplain, through courses in religious edu­ cation, the Hall works to give to all its students moral strength to mold Christian character, and to develop unshakeable integrity, — these to be an invincible shield throughout life. The Hall’s slower pace enables it to educate all in the “grace of good manners,” that outward sign of in­ ward character. In the oneness of its three major divisions, preschool, lower school and upper school, St. Helen’s Hall offers to its pupils an opportunity for a continuing school life whereby , f sa f educational security will promote emotional security. Above all, in its awareness of the seriousness and sacredness of its responsibility, St. Helen’s Hall realizes that it must train all who come so that “they may love whatsoever things are pure and lovely and of good report.” �•// THEN AND NOW Founded by the Right Reverend B. Westar Morris, D.D., Bishop of Oregon, St. Helen’s Hall was opened in 1869, just two years after the admission of Oregon to Statehood. It was organized under the Episcopal Diocese to meet and serve the needs of the daughters of pioneer fam­ ilies. Miss May B. Rodney, sister-in-law of Bishop Morris, was the first Headmistress. By 1890, the Hall had outgrown its first quarters and a fine new building on Vista Avenue was put up. Unhappily, this was totally destroyed by fire in 1914. Temporary ar­ rangements were utilized, until, in 1918, the Hall was moved to its present site. There, from one building to eight, St. Helen’s Hall has grown and expanded with the years, as demands were made on its services by an ever-enlarging community. The original Morris Hall houses the Chapel, administra­ tion offices, library, dining rooms, infirmary, staff bedrooms, the kitchens and laundry. Scott Hall, a residence for the girls of the Upper School, is a modern, extremely well-equipped building with every living comfort, and with a lounge and sun- deck for leisure hours. Scadding Hall contains the auditorium and stage, the music office, the classrooms for domestic art, the senior homeroom and a small, but well equipped kitchen, to facilitate entertaining. The Lower School is housed in a modern, one-story build­ ing which contains, in addition to attractive classrooms, the domestic science unit. The Chapel here seats approximately two hundred students. A library, with gayly muraled walls, offers an ideal spot for browsing and study. The adjacent gymnasium completes the buildings of the main quadrangle. On the opposite side of Thirteenth Avenue is the Pre­ school, with large play areas on either side. Next to it is the home of the Lower School girls who are residents. With its own Housemother, this smaller unit functions as a happy family. There is a homey living-room, and a small kitchen �: •> l ■A ''' «I»3 [:" v : * 1 TV " ■/ ' v V)j* + ■'■’ k' \ ■' After a long journey around the Horn, the bell found its home at the first St, Helen's Hall. The only survivor of the fire of 1914, it daily calls us info Chapel. where Sunday night suppers and the ever-necessary snacks are prepared. A residence for the Headmistresses contains a parent’s suite, where visiting parents may stay, if they wish, when they come to Portland. In such cases, meals may be eaten, with their daughters, in the main dining hall. Serving the daughters of Oregon’s prominent Episcopal families, the Hall also welcomes girls of all creeds, uniting them in an atmosphere retaining “the grace and dignity of a venerable past,” but infecting them with “the breadth and vision of a growing and ever-challenging future.” �f tl i !’ \ A WARM WELCOME AWAITS YOU �riP-SK YOUR ROOM IS YOUR "HOME AWAY FROM HOME". IT IS A PLACE FOR REST, STUDY AND FUN. ,■* �J W E LIVE TOGETHER For its residents, St. Helen’s Hall desires, above all else, to provide a Christian home environment. As a church school, we exist on a religious level. As a family, we gather after dinner for a few moments of evening prayer in our Chapel. We attend church on Sunday, and for those girls who do not wish to attend the Episcopal church, and who so state at the beginning of the school year, arrangements are made to attend churches of their own denomina­ tion. We strive to make our life God-centered, knowing that this is the best way to keep us all happy and secure. We are never pious, we hope, but neither are we afraid to acknowl­ edge Christ as our leader. Through a balanced schedule of study, play, and light household tasks, all are helped to understand the wise use of time. Freedom is increased and privileges extended as students demonstrate their ability to assume responsibility. f YOU WON’T GO HUNGRY HERE ■ V �f$3gsm 3iMpi y ;* ;v,y fte.2'- A UKELELE AND A CORN POPPER INSURE A HAPPY HOUR r A House Council, together with floor proctors, who are under the jurisdiction of Housemothers, supervises dormitory life. Weekends, are welcomed for the leisure they bring. Group attendance at concerts and plays is arranged through­ out the year. Full advantage is taken of other cultural opportunities as they occur. Visiting, with family and friends is encouraged on Sundays, after, church. One week­ end away from the Hall is permitted during those months in which there is no long vacation. Saturday shopping trips are usual. Adequate chaperonage is provided and students are expected, when chaperoned to plays or concerts, to divide the cost of the chaperone’s participation. A lounge, exclusively for the use of the girls residing in Scott Hall, and an informal living room in the Cottage, home of the “graders,” provides a homelike place to relax, to serve Sunday night suppers, or to entertain day students in the late afternoon. ��THE SCHOOL AT PLAY Knowing that all work and no play is bound to make Jill a very dull girl indeed, the school calendar allows for many social events, some of which are impromptu, but many of which have become traditional. Year after year the girls delight in the following events: OLD GIRL —NEW GIRL TEA The old girls entertain the new girls, together with their parents, at a formal tea during Registration Week. Former students act as hostesses and as guides on “conducted tours” of the buildings. SENIOR DINNER On the night before the formal opening of school, town and resi­ dent seniors meet at dinner to talk over the summer’s experiences and make plans for the year. HALLOWE’EN The first fall “informal” takes place at this time. In the lower school, a traditional masquerade party is held, all parading mer­ rily through the halls of the upper school. Prizes are awarded for the cleverest and the funniest costumes. OUR MERRY CHRISTMAS The week that precedes Christmas vacation is one of intense ac­ tivity. It climaxes the fall program and catches up everyone into a spirit of jollity and good will. Beginning with the trimming of the great tree in Scadding Hall, (followed by hot chocolate and cookies in Scott Hall lounge), there is given, the next night, the Christmas play and Nativity pageant. At the close of this moving scene, the upper school girls, together with those of grades VII and VIII, lay at the foot of the Crib, their gifts for the less for­ tunate boys and girls of Portland. Gifts, tree, and all the school, both young and old, receive the Christmas blessing of the Bishop. A backstage party for the cast brings to a close this memorable day. The next night is the Annual Christmas Dinner, of Trustees, Faculty, and students. A truly gala time “is had by all.” Santa Claus finds gifts in his pack for everyone. Sleepy-eyed perhaps, but happy, all start out next morning in a motor caravan to de­ liver, personally, the gifts that had been placed at the Crib. On the last morning, the Choir goes carolling through the halls, and at noon, following the dismissal bell, gay goodbyes resound on every side. �M I YOU START FOR MT. HOOD AND HERE YOU HAVE ARRIVED. �SOPHOMORE FORMAL is a laic winter dance. BOARDER S DANCE is usually given on St. Patrick’s Day and is a dinner dance. MAY DAY here, as at most schools, is one of the year’s most beautiful events. The crowning of the May Queen, surrounded by her lovely Court, climaxes a program which is directed by the Fine Arts depart­ ment. This is followed by an evening dance in Scadding Hall. THE SENIOR PLAY is given late in April. Its purpose is to raise money for the senior gift to the school. SKIP DAY! Sometime in May, there comes a day when there simply are no seniors to be seen about — come dawn, they have skipped out. Only the Headmistress knows when this day will fall. SENIOR WEEKEND is another late spring event. It is a long weekend at the shore, for both day and resident students. SILVER TEA This is a farewell tea given by the seniors for faculty and lower classmen. It is planned to take place to bring the stress of exam week to a quiet close. COMMENCEMENT This week of weeks, opens with Baccalaureate Sunday. The serv­ ice is held at Trinity Church, Dr. Lansing Kempton traditionally gives the parting address. Class Day, on Monday, opens with luncheon on the terrace. In the afternoon, honors and awards are given out by Bishop Dagwell at a formal assembly in Scadding Hall. Then dawns the greatest day of all — Commencement Day itself. The Exercises take place in the evening at Trinity Church. As the crowning of four years of work and play, every effort is made to see that this is an occasion of unforgettable beauty. j A 2 a% S; a ■ �YOU FIND PARTNERS APLENTY THERE ARE NO DULL JILLS HERE �*• . . «C3*S . OUR UPPER SCHOOL The upper school provides a cur­ riculum designed primarily to prepare students for college. Some freedom of choice is offered, mainly in the junior and senior years, but these choices are largely determined by college entrance requirements. For the girl who does not intend to enter college, or who may be preparing to make her contribution to society in other fields of activity, a general course of study is offered, allowing for a wider latitude of choice. However, in both courses the traditional standards of good scholarship and fine character must be maintained. The diploma of the Hall is awarded to those students who fulfill the basic requirements, as listed below. For those stu­ dents whose program, because of frequent transfer or be­ cause of the necessity of special study, cannot fill these basic requirements, a certificate is given. This certificate is based on the requirements for graduation from high school, as determined by the State Department of Education. A mini­ mum of sixteen credits is required for graduation. Required subjects, with their credit values, are listed below: 4 English 2, 3, or 4 Languages 2 or 3 Mathematics 2 or 3 Science 3 Social Studies Speech Arts Christian Education 2 periods per week 3 periods per week Health Education including team sports, modern dance, swimming, home nursing, and first aid. ELECTIVE CREDITS Advanced Algebra Art Chemistry Chorus General Mathematics Home Management Music Appreciation Second Foreign Language Typing �EVEN STUDY CAN BE PLEASANT �Description of Courses ENGLISH The English courses have as their basis, the development of communica­ tion skills, both written and oral. This work includes directed reading, grammar, composition, letter writ­ ing, word attack (spelling, phonics, vocabulary) and literature. This school predicates its teaching on the belief that “Reading is think­ ing. Readers read as well as they think and no better.” A student's vocabulary is as indicative of her mentality as an intelligence quotient. All subjects in school depend on the ability to read. For this reason, the girls are taught to recognize and interpret patterns of writ­ ing. They are required to learn the techniques of outlining, recognizing key ideas, and summarizing. This technical instruction is supplemented by adequate required and independent reading programs of the classics as well as contemporary writers. Our objectives are to foster a love of books and to familiarize the girls with the various types of writing; short stories, novels, biography, essays, poetry and plays. Training in the use of the library is considered an integral part of the English instruction. Good speech is emphasized at all times. Individual diagnosis is made bv the use of a recording machine. Students are trained to take part in panel discussions and to direct a meeting according to parliamentary form. Every effort is made by direct instruction to teach the techniques of how to study effectively. . f r - r* LANGUAGES Latin is the preferred choice for freshmen, although French may be chosen as the beginning language. The school believes that Latin has great importance as a basic study for the understanding and clarifying of the English language. Further, the student learns of the great and ever­ lasting contributions of the Roman world to our modern civilization. r MODERN LANGUAGES In French and Spanish, the basic skills in oral and written forms are thoroughly taught. Every effort is made to give the student a wide, cul­ tural knowledge of the French and Spanish people, by learning their his­ tory, their literature, and their contributions to contemporai\ life. A French table at luncheon is planned to give selected students daily prac­ tice in the social amenities of that language. �MATHEMATICS The courses in Mathematics aim to give the student a workable foundation in concepts and skills, by teaching through organization and exact expression, logical and orderly thinking. Algebra and Geometry are required in the college preparation course and ad­ vanced Algebra is offered for those whose College Boards require it. A course in applied Arithmetic is planned for those students who are weak in the fundamental processes or for those who wish to pursue further the subject matter undertaken in grades VII and VIII. This course includes personal and household budgeting, installment buying, loans, investment practice, taxes, and other practical problems. SACRED STUDIES Each year the student follows a definite course of study, designed to give her a knowl edge and appreciation of the Bible. Through discussion and personal conferences, every effort is made to develop such interest in the spiritual values of life that a sound Chris­ tian character will emerge. Daily attendance at Chapel services teaches that the worship of God is an integral part of their daily lives rather than a ritual reserved for once a week. ?i * 5 YOU WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR CHAPEL HOURS ] : ! �. &£t ppwv I COTTAGE LIVING THEY'RE GOOD I DRAWING OUR ALLOWANCES �TAPPED FOR HELENAS WONDERFUL NEWS? •TIS MODERN DANCE �T 'T' 111lis 3 v v .,|-'l■ • is®ini pp^ v • -r <m. .«-* r:U%SlH '.:"■ .I--- ":'% m #§ m ' .w ; i i: idf ;’v '*■ ! ■■ 1 i • •9 SENIOR STARS LOVE'S YOUNG DREAM ALL IN THE "WRECK" ROOM �A SOLEMN MOMENT IPJT \m Tw" ; T in: ! �THE ARTS: Drama, Art, Music The opportunity to create, as well as to appreciate, is vital to all youth.

In conjunction with the department of Music, an oper­ etta is produced each year. YOU REHEARSE FOR THE PLAY. �•V. READY FOR ’‘OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY” HEALTH EDUCATION Every girl must participate in the program of Health Education, unless certified to the contrary by her own physician. Tennis, archery, bad­ minton, volleyball and basketball, are our major sports. Teams lake part in city-wide tournaments, as well as in inter-class and inter-school com­ petition. Swimming is a required subject. Each girl will be expected to obtain her Lifesaving Certificate before being graduated. A twelve-weeks program of skiing, under competent European instruct­ ors, is offered during January, February and March. Occasional skiing weekends at Timberline Lodge are planned. Riding is a favorite sport and classes are held weekly at the Portland Hunt Club. Home nursing and first aid are required courses. This work is under the direction of the Red Cross. The Hall recognizes that correct health habits play a large role in i a happy and successful life. Health records are kept of all students. Periodic examinations are required. Audiometer tests are made of all students, as are Chest X-Rays. A resident nurse is on duty at all times. �■ h YOU IMITATE THE SEAL .j . - �r SOCIAL STUDIES Ancient and Medieval History This course is planned to give students a knowledge of past civilizations and of their relationship with the present. It will also afford them an understanding of the frequent allusions made lo the men, events, and ideas of the two periods. U. S. History Our purpose in this course is to gain a knowledge and an appreciation of our American heritage, so that we may preserve and strengthen it through intelligent citizenship. Contemporary problems are discussed in the light of the forces that have brought them about, and attention is given to previous efforts made to solve them. American Problems Current problems, social, economic, and political, will be analyzed and compared with the same problems in other nations. These problems, being rooted in the past, will also be studied against an historical background. THE SCIENCES General Science Here the major courses are briefly introduced and the way indicated for further individual study. All levels of capacity for high school work are tapped in this course . For all, there has been a revealing of nature’s laws. For those who are to continue in Biology and Chemistry, a broad basis and a valuable scientific vocabulary have been acquired. Biology Our course is alive. We study marine life on our Oregon beaches, native as well as cultivated trees, shrubs and flowers, as we find them on our campus or on the neigh­ boring hillsides. Emphasis is placed, always, on the conservation of, as well as the eco­ nomic value, of our flora and fauna. Human physiology is the climax of the study of all animal life. Chemistry This is taught with the greatest cm phasis upon a thorough background for future college courses. Students perform their own experiments with excellent equipmen l Our texts and laboratory books are always the newest and best obtainable. �YOU EXPERIMENT TESTS AND GUIDANCE Objective testing is a vital part of our school’s educational philosoph) .

OTHER GRADERS LIKE TO READ HERE. ��! > OUR LOWER SCHOOL The Lower School, comprising grades I through VIII, has as its definite objective, the development of a healthy, happy, integrated personality. Working, studying, and playing in small groups, under friendly teachers, the lower school chil­ dren develop as individuals, at their individual speeds, to­ ward a common goal. The pupils learn to evaluate their own abilities and to understand that being different in some things does not necessarily mean being inferior. The child who finds Spelling difficult may gleefully lead the rest in Arithmetic. One may “read anything at seven;” another may take two years longer to attain the same proficiency. In the total picture, all will have acquired a mastery of the basic skills of education — those old-fashioned three-R’s. These skills hold first place in all grades. Drill in these funda­ mentals is not only necessary, but indispensable. However, there still remains time for the “frills” of our modern day. Besides Reading, Arithmetic, oral and written Language, and the specialized Arts, great emphasis is given to Social Studies. These, History and Geography, are taught in corre­ lation with other subjects, according to the best educational practices. OUR LITTLE GIRLS ARE ON THEIR TOES! �p > WE HOPE IT TASTES GOOD �FIRST GRADERS ARE SUCH BUSY PEOPLE Fiench is taught throughout the lower school.

H 1 ... of Small Classes . . . °f t0uay'S.pr0jlcm of t0° often overcrowded classes, St Helen's Hall still adheres rigidly to its educational plan of small classes. There are frequent conferences between student and faculty, group meetings, and round-table Ksions. In the Upper School each girl has a faculty adviser with whom she is kept Lowffsfh^rh50 1hat lndlVlduau1 Problems may be discussed and solved. In the Lower School he classroom teacher is exceedingly close to each of her student! and is constantly aware of his or her progress.

Because of the Hall’s strategic location within a ten-minute walk of Portland’s metropolitan area, students make . constant use of municipal, state, and federal institutions, as well ;as of the city s social agencies, as laboratories in which they may enrich their studies. Cultural opportunities are many, with but a short walk to theatres library > art museum, concerts, operas, and churches. ’ P^lthe/n°?S'miidef’ a short,ddve takes one skiing at Mt.

The chic-looking and well-tailored regulated dress, with its navy blue flared skirt, jewel red cardigan blazer, and white dacron blouse is enjoyed by every high school gir . It is a relief to her not to have to begin each day with a decision as to what to wear. It is likewise a boon to her parents not to have to plan and finance an e aborate wardrobe. Best of all, it creates a completely democratic atmosphere by eliminating clothes competition and insuring simple, tasteful, and attractive dress for the hours of the school day. 2 .; �, _:rls of the Lower School are equally happy with regulated dress The boys and g , groups.

The boys have special work “ hop whik Sob are Joining skill in cooking and sosving. Both groups eain much from the creative experience of making something with their own hands both in these classes and in their art classes, at the same time that they are acquiring a sound education scholastically, which will enable them to carry credit­ ably the more advanced work of their high school years. They will be fully pre­ pared to enter the more specialized, college preparatory high school courses, rather than having to mark time in general courses of a less challenging nature. St. Helen’s Hall Upper School is deeply conscious of the need for every girl to have her own individual design for living. That design is blueprinted during her school years and developed during succeeding years of gracious and effective living. Friendships and loyalties are strong in a girl’s school. Not that boys aren t important! We love to have them at proms, informal dances, and week-end dates. However, if classes are concentrated on studies and boys are strictly extra-curricular during the teen-age years, there are certain advantages in the way of undivided attention to scholarship and opportunities for leadership in student affairs! The residence department offers an invaluable experience in group living to the girls who are fortunate enough to experience it. They have the benefit of training and supervision under the head of the residence department and housemothers chosen for their understanding of young people. In the Boarders’ Council, they learn the fundamental principles of effective self-government. The give and take of living together during these early years provides the soundest possible basis for happy family and community relations and good citizenship during future years. ... of Spiritual Guidance . . . Twice a week classes are given for the study and discussion of the Old and New estaments, Christian and Church History, and the possible influence of basic Kristian truths in working out the problems of everyday life. There are also in t c pper School discussion classes in the area of Christian Ethics.

THE SCHOOL AND THE PARENTS Since the Hall places great emphasis on high standards of conduct and behavior it asks the home to cooperate closely in these important matters. Before placing a student at the Hall, parents have, it is assumed, acquainted themselves with the aims, rules, and regulations and are willing to conform. Active parents’ associations in the three divisions of the Hall invite all parents to become members. Meetings are held regularly. Frequently speakers of reputation bring topics of special interest before these parents’ groups. Individual reports are sent out to parents four times a year in the upper and lower schools. It is hoped and expected that parents will keep in frequent touch with the school and with the individual teachers. The Director of the School and the Principals of the Lower School and Preschool will always welcome visits of parents. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Home Study Each Hall student is expected to make school his or her main interest, Monday through Friday at the close of tire school day. Attendance at movies, theatres, or parties should be discouraged on week nights. Parents are asked to cooperate by seeing that their children follow regular study schedules at home, uninterrupted S°"°r rfadl°: ^cause parents frequently inquire about a time schedule the faTthSTiy’ hr f0 l°rS SUmted schedule is g‘ven. with recognition of the fact that it applies to the needs of the average student: Lower School: - £* !

The school also asks that, in so far as is possible, all medical and dental work be taken care of during vacation periods or, if that is impossible, that appointments be made for Saturdays. Health Program Under the supervision of a resident nurse, a sound and rigorous health program is pursued. Careful daily inspection of the younger children is held. All students returning after any illness must report to the nurse before going to classes. These regulations serve to protect all the students. The nurse will make necessary appoint­ ments with physicians or dentists and will accompany resident students who are keeping such appointments.

Luncheon •; I ■ The Hall maintains two dining rooms, one for the younger children, and the larger one, in which Grades IV through VIII and the Upper School have their luncheon. Care is taken by our Dietitian to provide balanced, wholesome, and inviting meals. Upper School students are required to buy their luncheons at school. In the Lower School this is optional. A place is provided for those children who wish to bring their lunches from home. We do feel, however, that, whenever possible, it is better for growing children to have a noon meal in which one dish, at least, is hot. $ 50.00 per semester Luncheon rates are $100.00 for the school year 9 r :: : j ; | ; �Incidental Expense Accounts rr ^— - of dry cleaning, laundry, and other like expenses may be char Jd ^ “c* °f reS,dent studei'‘s, -ed by the parents.

Fee, payable to St. Helen’s Hall, is $62.50 per semester, for two-way transporta­ tion; $32.50 for one-way. For those using city transportation, there are convenient arrangements. The Mount Tabor bus, marked Hall Street, passes St. Helen’s Hall. It may be boarded on S. W. Morrison Street, anywhere below Eleventh Avenue. Special Reductions Children of clergymen and children of Army and Navy personnel, on active duty or on a retired basis, are given 10% reduction. Siblings also receive a 10% reduction in fees. These reductions are on tuition only and do not apply to board and room, or transportation. 10 ■*? i �Monthly Payment Plan Since some parents prefer to pay tuition and other fees*in nine equal monthly installments during the academic year, we are glad to offer this convenience through special arrangement with the Business Office. A three percent carrying charge is made for this service. Should this payment plan contract become delinquent, the School reserves the right to drop the student without further notice. The Tuition Refund Plan It should be understood that a student is entered for the entire academic ye ar or for such part of it as may remain after date of entrance. The fact that the fee is payable in two separate installments or in monthly payments does not constitute a contract for part of the school year only. i No deduction can be granted for absence or withdrawal of a student as a result of illness, accident, or any other cause. However, The Tuition Refund Plan, which gives parents an opportunity to protect themselves against loss of tuition* room, and boarding fees, when a student is absent or withdrawn on account of accident or illness, is available at low cost. A leaflet explaining this Plan is sent out with the first tuition bills in September. While the Plan is optional, we recommend it to the consideration of parents or guardians.

The education and well-being of your Hall extends a warm emphasis upon children are our primary concerns. We place great . high standards of education, conduct, and behavior. .-.uk, we are proud of the standards maintained and the achieve­ ments recorded by our fine, historic school, founded in 1869, which on a new campus, continues to provide the quality education needed, to prepare children and youth for living in a changing and challenging world. We assume that you, as parents, have acquainted yourselves with our aims, rules, and regulations and that you will wish to cooperate whole­ heartedly in these matters. Success is reached by a threeway route: parent - student - teacher. Four times a year individual reports are sent out to parents of students in the Upper, Middle, and Lower Schools. We hope you will keep in frequent touch with the teachers of your daughter or son. We wish you to feel free to visit the Director of the Hall, the Heads of the Middle and the Lower Schools, and the Supervisor of the Preschool. This Catalog Supplement is prepared to supply information and to answer questions you may have. If there is additional information you would like, we will be glad to give it to you either through letter or personal interview. GENERAL REGULATIONS ABSENCES Every effort should be made to keep each student in school and on time, as absences and tardiness profoundly affect academic work. In the case of an absence of a week or less caused by illness the stu­ dent will have help in making up lost work. After a longer absence, tutoring at the expense of the parent may be required. Parents are requested not to ask for extension of vacation periods, uc prolongation of vacation periods is totally unfair to the student erse , her teachers, and her fellow students. Any absences just beor after vacation periods result in an automatic zero in every i.v s ^lssed, except in cases of a signed doctors excuse indicating dpnfaf Q-\ °u t^ie1 ^ness- The School also asks that all medical and mpnfc i^ork j taken care of during vacation periods or that appoint­ ments be made for Saturdays or after school hours. CLASS PREPARATION ^11 students are expected to make school their main interest, Monto onrv^°U^r Friday, to the close of the school day. Parents are asked at hom Gra 6- ln see*nS that children follow regular study schedules theatr^Q6’ ^^Pt^ by telephone or TV.

LUNCHEONS The Upper and Middle School students regularly have their lunch­ eon together in die dining room. Lower School students may bring their lunches from home or have hot lunches at the School. NOTE: Please read carefully the explanations under Incidental Ex­ pense Accounts, Extraordinary Expenses, and Optional Services and Activities. The description and cost of uniforms are given under Dress Regulations. Day students wishing transportation should check service and costs under transportation heading. (See Optional Services) INSURANCE An accident insurance policy is taken out for each student. The policy, available only because of the large number involved, covers the student in the classroom, on the playground, at competitive games, and on the way to and from school. The charge per school year, payable first semester, is $2.40 for Preschool children and $5.00 for Lower, Middle, and Upper School students. SPECIAL REDUCTIONS Children of clergymen receive 10 percent reduction on tuition. For two siblings there is a 10 percent reduction on tuition; for three, 15 percent; for four or more, 25 percent. INCIDENTAL EXPENSE ACCOUNTS Each student is required to have on deposit an incidental account for books, chapel cap rentals, concerts, plays, etc. Parents of resident students may authorize dry cleaning, laundry, etc., to be charged against this account. Parents must stipulate in writing the weekly amount, if allowances are to be drawn from this account. The aver­ age weekly amount is $2.00 to $3.00 per week, depending upon age of student. The Hall deplores the granting of overly large allowances. When the incidental account has been depleted, parents will receive a report and be asked to replenish the account. This does not often occur in the case of day students, but resident students will need to have replenishment of the account from time to time during the 5 �year, depending upon expenses that the parents wish to have drawn from it.
