Florence Kuhn FIFTH FORM \ Margaret Boyer '( Frances Spaulding FOURTH FORM THIRD FORM Helen Lamar Bess Allen Jean Muir �in jMemoriam On the 17th day of October, 1920, our chaplain, the Rev. W. A. M. Breck, entered into rest. Our Lord himself said “There remaineth a rest for the people of God,” and most assuredly our chaplain was a man of God. Many classes have been graduated from our school during his chaplaincy and all have been influenced by his gentle teachings, quiet dignity, and great sympathy. He was not only the spiritual advisor, but also the friend of all. He came frdm a distinguished family, many of whom were ministers before him, his father having established a seminary at Nashotah, where he was buried. His whole life was devoted to missions; his one passion was the saving of souls. More than once in his early ministry he was offered the care of a larger parish, but he refused it, preferring labor in a smaller mission. During his long ministry more baptisms were performed and more persons prepared for confirmation by him than ordinarily would be the work of two men in the same service. Fathei Breck was always ready to help wherever help was needed, attending cheerfully to his many duties and services daily at the Hall, coming through all kinds of weather, even when he was not in the best of heaUh. He was so reserved and quiet in his manner that few people knew his real character, but he was a great friend of children. On his way to school in the morning, he was frequently met by a number of the neighborhood children to whom he gave hazelnuts and chestnuts, to their great delight. Every summer, as long as he was able, Father Breck and one of his altar-boys of St. Matthew’s used to ride their bicycles to Mt. Hood. He was better known by children than by many of his elder friends. The whole school will greatly miss his fatherly presence every day in chapel, and his customary reading of the Lesson at Commencement. The call of His Master came when he was preparing for Evensong, and in an instant his gentle spirit had taken its flight. Indeed, it was a most fitting- death for so faithful a soldier of the Cross. Our most sincere sympathy goes out to his sorrowing family. Grant him, 0 Lord, eternal Rest. May Light Perpetual shine upon him.” �DELI’IIIC is published two times during the school year.

To prove the quality of our work not only to ourselves but to out­ siders as well, we shall have educational investigators from various colleges to examine the classes of every department. The girls are prepared to enter any Eastern college. At St. Helen’s Hall the classes are small in order that the teacher may have the time and opportunity to give individual instruction. The religious atmosphere imparts to each girl a knowledge of truth and right that will help mould her character that she may be able to assume larger duties and wider responsibilities. Sports are encouraged here: tennis, hockey, basket ball, and others, and these give to the girl a strong, healthy body which accompanies a keen mind. So in this school the aim is to develop every side of a girl’s character, not only the intellectual but the spiritual and physical as well. �4 Crap i-i i c Are We “Carrying On”? There was a terrific noise. A band was playing; up the street came a war tank, which was used to advertise a dance for war veterans. A young man who had just come out of the nearby clubhouse looked to see what the cause of the noise was. When he saw the tank and its present use, he turned abruptly away. Kis eyes filled with tears. Had he been in France? Does his brother sleep in “Flander’s Fields”? There are many others who cannot forget what they have passed through; the memory of the trench filled with mud and water; the thoughts that came crowding into the minds of ihe men ordered to go “over the top.” We, here in America, were hardly touched by the war and so we do not realize the devastation and slaughter that has been going on in Europe. But is it possible that we have forgotten the Great War? Think of the many devastated homes in the lands of our allies, struggling and suffering still; think of the orphans to be cared for, and fields so damaged by gas that it will be a great undertaking to renew them! At times we seem too full of our own glory and selfishness to remember our duty in the eyes of other nations and towards humanity. Thousands die every day in Armenia. We see there one of the saddest results of the war. For them the war has not stopped. The Armenians must still fight against cold and hunger. Even a small sacrifice on our part such as denying ourselves a favorite sundae, or not seeing the latest cinema in order that we may send to those starving people the money saved would help them more than we know. “I saw in a vision a nation stand Glorious in power and might; She was crowned with gifts and rich in land, And her sons were heroes in fight. By her gifts had kept the world alive, Her crops the children had fed.” This reminds us how wonderfully America responded to every call of need during the war. The war is over, but the world still needs help. Let us try to “carry on” and fulfill our part in bringing peace to the world and make real the words of the compact made by the Pilgrim Fathers in the Mayflower: “Each for all, and all for each.” E. B., *21. �GRAPHIC 5 En Avant Toujours “En Avant Toujours” is the motto adopted by the class of “’21.” One might suspect that some of the girls voted for this motto because of its sound rather than its meaning. How many realize that “En Avant Toujours” was the motto of the Knights Templars who lived three centuries ago during the reign of Richard The Lion Hearted, that great champion of Chivalry? The Knights who took the oath were renowned for their acts of humanity, gentleness and chivalry. It is this idealism which makes them so attractive to us. The question for us who have adopted their motto is how to make these ideals our own. If “En Avant Toujours” meant courtesy, friendliness, endurance and honor to them, what does it mean to us? One does not need to be bright or talented in any subject to be courteous, nor does courtesy consist of mere outward manners. It comes from the heart and is really in other words thoughtfulness. Friendliness means sincerity and helpfulness to one's friends and fairness to one’s enemies. One of the first lessons a knight had to learn was endurance and it is one of the hardest tests for us. The sticking to a thing which we know is right, even though we are tired of it and everything is against us, is not exactly typical of us. We should iearn to “stick to” things until they are finished. But courtesy and endurance were, after all, only adornments of chivalry. The heart of the motto lay in their ideas of honor. Honor means daring to be true and doing one’s duty. If the class of ’21 could learn these two lessons they would need to feel no shame in owning their motto. Honesty is as good a policy now as it was in the middle ages. And straightforwardness is as good in school work as in keeping promises with pagan princes. We should remember like the Knights of old that when we cheat or do anything dishonorable, it not only reflects upon our own indi­ vidual characters, but upon the class, and, in fact, upon the whole school of which we are all members. So if we live up to the ideals of the Knights Templars we shall also be living up to our motto, “En Avant Toujours.” In looking backward at the Knights of chivalry let us learn to go “Onward L. R., ’21. �6 GRAPHIC The Early History of Portland In the first directory of Portland, which was published in 1863, there was found an historical sketch which began as fol­ lows: “During the month of November, 1843, Honorable A. L. Lovejoy and a gentleman named Overton stepped ashore at this point from an Indian canoe while en route from Vancouver to Oregon City, and having examined the topography of the surrounding country, concluded at once that this was the most eligible position for a town site.” The following winter Mr Overton disposed of his interest to Mr. F. W. Pettygrove and he with Mr. Lovejoy had the land surveyed and boundaries made that summer. The country was covered with heavy timber and as soon as a portion of it could be cleared off the two men built a log cabin at the foot of what is now Washington street, on the banks of the river. There were two reasons why a settlement was needed and chosen at this certain site, First, the water was too shallow for boats to g° up as far as Oregon City and, secondly, the land was extremely good for agriculture and, as the immi­ grants were coming down the Columbia in goodly numbers there must be some place to settle. In all, “it was a site where commerce and agriculture met.” The name of the town was given m a very informal way. Mr. Lovejoy, who was from Massa­ chusetts, wished to name it Boston, and Mr. Pettygrove, coming fiom Portland, Maine, favored his home town. As they could not agree, one evening at dinner, Mr. Pettygrove, happening to have a copper com, tossed it up and won the name of Portland twice out of three., Portland was not the first city in this vicinity .or Astoria, Vancouver and Oregon City had been settled early before, and were flourishing towns when Portland was granted her chaitei, in 1851, by the legislature of Oregon, with all legal privrf nnS' I ^ rea''Ze that sevellty years a settlement of one log cabin could have grown to a city of 257,000 population FRANCES E. SPAULDING, ’22. �GRAPHIC 7 8p8 LITEMTip The Weeping Willow All was stir and bustle in the palace of Zeus, mighty god of heavenly Olympus, when Apollo, driver of the sun chariot, fared forth in his journey across the sky. For, let it be known, a great issue was in progress for the day. Tarius, the proud, was to do battle with Hades, king of the underworld; and it came about in this wise. Willow, a beautiful nymph of a silvery forest stream, was in sore distress; for her father, heartless Neptune, ruler of the rest­ less deep, had commanded her to marry the god of darkness, saying, “For you have I chosen a husband. Hades, king of the dark underworld. Strong and powerful is he, and favored of Hera, the glittering Olympus’ ox-eyed queen.” At this, Willow was sore afraid and rose up before her father’s face saying, “Father it cannot be that thou biddest me wed this god. Far above my station is he, and it is not meet for one so lowly tc unite with one of such high degree. And besides, knowest thou not what great attraction I hold for Tarius ? A goodly man, and one of many minds, is he, and wealthy, in that he rules over lands that stretch their lengthy miles from .sea to sea; and all the people in them are his subjects; him would I marry.” When Willow ceased speaking, her father waxed angry and spoke with upbraiding: “Verily I say unto thee, him have I chosen as thy mate and he shall it be. Methinks it beseemeth not one of thy years to dispute with one who is thine elder and a father to thee. True many have disobeyed my word, but blind were they as is the owl in the dazzling light of Apollo’s flaming chariot when it appears over the eastern horizon; nor was my ill will lost of them.” �S GRAPHIC So said he and left her to her self; and when he had departed she summoned Rumor, swiftest of all messengers, and bade her fiy to Tarius and inform him of her sorry plight and bid him hasten to her. And forthwith went Rumor, the willing, swiftly to Tarius’ palace and wakened him, saying, “Is it right, thinkest thou, that sweet sleep should keep thine eyelids when one, even Willow of the sea green tresses, is in distress? It beseemeth not one that is a lover, Haste ye to her, therefore, and tarry not, lest ill come of it.” So spake she and departed. Then Tarius rose up swiftly and making himself ready, in purple and fine linens, hastened with all speed to Willow, who received him joyously and would have gone with him then, had not the crooked counsellor appeared, as a messenger of her father, saying, Thy father hath relented in part, he bade me to say unto thee that a day of battle shall be set and on that day, Hades, the Dark, shall do battle with Tarius, the proud, to see which is the better man; him shalt thou wed, whether or no.” So saying he left them and went forth, and when he had gone, Willow and Tarius bent their heads and were silent; and when the day drew nigh they rose up and went into the forest beside a deep river; there it was that the battle was destined to be fought. And so on the day appointed, the twain met, even Tarius and dark Hades, and they were sore angry with one another; and the gods in their seats on glittering Olympus were joyous, and laughed at the mortal man and the god; except Hera, of the white arms; for she it was who had promised help to Hades, since she was beholden to him for a vessel of everlasting beauty that he had procured for her. And when Tarius, the strong, would have wounded Hades even to his death, Hera descended, swift and silent as a summer breeze and as little seen, and threw Tarius m the swollen river. And when she had gone, the grief of Willow was terrible to behold, as Hades stood up before her. Sore frightened was she, and would have cast herself down when father Zeus, the mighty god of the white tipped Olvmpus, and dweller in the palace of the bronze threshold, was grieved for her and . sore angered at his wife of the oxen-eyrs for being so med­ dlesome. So he bethought him how he might lessen Willow’s gnefs in part, and forthwith he made Willow’s silvery feet to take �GRAPHIC 9 root in the ground and her body to become a smooth brown trunk. Then turned her hair to waving branches with feathery leaves. And there it is that she guards her lover’s body with the soft waving plumes that droop in grief over him. The wind, sighing in the forest, is weird and ghostlike as it sweeps through the trees, and Weeping Willow is forever given to her lamentations for her loved one.

MEDORA HOWARD, ’22. �12 GRAPHIC Praeterita A Paper for the Ruskinian Guild John Ruskin, an eminent writer and art critic, was born in London, England, on the eighth of February, 1819, and died in Coniston, Lancashire, on the twentieth of January, 1900. The whole life of Ruskin is an interesting study, so different were his ideas from those entertained by other men of the day, so much superior, so much more lofty. But especially worthy of notice is his childhood because it was more restricted and more secluded than that of most boys. And what adds to this interest is the fact that in Praeterita, he set forth the advantages as well as the disadvantages of his early training, so we are able to see how such a life influenced that man, and might influence other men. Ruskin’s father, although a man of culture, left the early training of his son to the mother, who was a most learned and religious lady. Mrs. Ruskin, though a kind and loving mother, believed in hard study and strict discipline, and so at the age when most children are struggling through the primer, Ruskin could l ead and read well, could spell almost perfectly, knew a few of the principles of science, and had started Latin grammar. Mrs. Ruskin arranged a schedule for the day, the morning was devoted to study, and the afternoon to recreation. She let nothing disturb either herself or her son during the morning hours, and if some friend chanced to be paying her a visit, she must either join the lesson, or find amusement for herself until the close. It was a great help to the boy to have the lessons free from disturbance or delay, for with nothing to divert his mind, he could put his whole attention to the study. As soon as he could read at all, his mother started that daily reading from the Bible, which was continued until he went to Oxford. Together they read the Bible straight through, hard words included, from the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation; and if one day they finished Revelation, they began the very next at Genesis. With that firmness which ever characterized Mrs. Ruskin, she insisted that the boy pro­ nounce each hard word correctly, and put the emphasis in the proper place. In “Praeterita,” his autobiography, Ruskin said that he and his mother spent two weeks on one verse of the Scriptures because he refused to emphasize the proper word. However, she �G R A P III C 13 neither lost her patience nor her determination, and at the end of the struggle, the boy read the verse to her satisfaction. Ruskin afterwards said that he had gained more from the Bible than from any other book, and that, to those daily lessons, he owed his general power of taking pains, and that from them he received the best part of his taste in literature, and also that he was pre­ vented from writing formal and superficial English. It was not until his tenth year that Ruskin began to study Homer, Scott. Defoe and Bunyun, his four great teachers, but even before that time he read books which were beneficial to him. He was fond of science as well as of literature, and once remarked that literary men condemned his works because there was in them a love of science, and scientific men because there was a love of literature. But what is most remarkable is the fact that when only seven years of age, he wrote a story entitled “The Adventures of Harry and Lucy,” which was built upon scientific experiments found in Joyce’s The story is not remarkable because of its style, nor yet because of its originality, but because it shows that the boy had a fairly clear understanding of the scientific problem which it was written to illustrate. It was Mrs. Ruskin’s dearest wish that her son should become a minister; and so, after his tenth birthday, she gave him the works of Defoe and Bunyun for his Sabbath reading, that he might learn from them the love of the ministry. However, although a religious man, Ruskin did not wish to be a minister, and afterwards expressed joy that he had obtained from Bunyan and Defoe all the noble imaginative teachings without becoming a minister. On week days he read Homer and Scott, and soon became, like h’s father before him. a violent Tory of the old school. The love of kings, and everything pertaining to the kingdom grew greater and greater as he grew older, and he once said that, although he had many times been enlisted to visit America, he did not believe he could tolerate a country which did not possess a single castle. Moreover, he did say that in the works of Homer and Scott he found the kings and men of importance doing work for the least recompense, while, as he much regretted to say, in his own age and country, the kings and men of importance seemed to do the least work for the most recompense. �14 GRAPHIC Although Mrs. Ruskin insisted that the morning hours 1 devoted to study, nevertheless she was wise enough to realize tl t the afternoon must be free. Accordingly, in the afternoon he wf at liberty to amuse himself as he chose, so long as he made ver! little noise, and disturbed no one. For, unlike the child of toda Y he was forced to seek his own amusement, — a ball and soi y, blocks being his only toys. Because it was necessary for himT amuse himself, he became most imaginative and observant ° and could find enjoyment in counting the squares in a carpet or thP bricks in a building. Indeed, Mrs. Ruskin must have thought many toys bad for children, for when one of Ruslan’s aunts who had pity on the child, brought him a Punch and Judy, she onlv let him have it until the lady had returned to htsr home, when she put it away and he never saw it again. It seems to us rather too severe to punish a child for falling down stairs. However, whenever Ruskin tumbled, he whipped. He was never allowed, when young, to dine with was his parents,—he was always made to live upon the simplest diet imaginable. It was not until he learned : to crack a nut neatlv that he was permitted, to appear at the dinner table, and then it was not to crack nuts for himself, but for others. But from abstinence he gained a good constitution, and became healthv and strong. ...Thus far we have mentioned only the advantages of his early themmhe^ if -faUltS are serious’ we must n°t pass over l""hee f 18 true that he had learned obedience, and would obey the slightest nod of his parents; that he was able fathne?orSihislemPlterUreS a"d that beCaUSe he had "ever seen his hnew perfect ? a"gry at each other or at a servant, he he had n ve he faith had never been broken, for nor told anvth-nv a"ything which he had not received, he knlw noth nv ^ POt true- However, when a child troubled had eifhe ° f T-6’ f°r’ alth°ugh he would have been looked upon thl °f hlS parents e°ne out of his life, yet he Neither did he In persons to he obeyed than to be loved, called His Book on e0 ’ 6 f°Und the Book which the people wai due Him u^plelfant6 ^ "’hipb People said he could see no rose * u u e <new n°thing of gratitude because cooking or tZIZ Wh/ he shou!d feel *"*eful to the cook for give him so much enei 01 gardening, since the former could not Mve mm so much as a biscuit without permission, and the latter* �GRAPHIC 15 destroyed his ant hills. Lastly he had no sorrow nor trouble to bear, and so he was not able to practice self control. But when one thinks upon the honest, learned, Christian man which Ruskin became, he wonders whether the good in his early training did not conquer the evil; for all the bad was overcome in time; he knew love both for God and man; he knew gratitude, and he learned to bear sorrows with fortitude. Beauty was his religion, and he sought to remove the ugly factories from his country, saying the pictures and buildings were the outward visible sign of a country’s inward and spiritual feeling. He was entirely unselfish, and remarked that an idiot was one who was completely concerned with his own affairs. He thought that there was no wealth but life, and that a country’s treasure lay in its people. In connection with this he reminded his countrymen that the word “valuable” was derived from a word meaning strong or well, and so should be used only when speaking with something necessary to life. And so, though few points in his education were not praiseworthy, most of them were, and I think that if his ideas and teachings were followed, we should find the world a more desirable place in which to live.

B., ’22. �16 GRAPHIC Autocrat of the Breakfast Table (I had quite determined upon going to a certain summer resort—no indeed, I am not going to say which one—to discon­ tinue my autocratic ways; and to become a humble listener to the conversation of my superiors. But that mischiefmaker, Fate, who never fails to lay a snare for the unwary resolutionist, drew me into the conversation; and, of course, once in a while, I took command despite my resolutions. A large, important­ looking lady, who was seated opposite me, started the mischief by remarking that I had probably read a great deal.) —On the contrary—I replied—I regret to say that I have read very little.— —What a pity—sighed the same lady—I, myself read a book a day. In fact, m3r motto is a novel a day keeps the cobwebs away—away from the brain you know, my dear,—she added confidentially.— —All very well if you can do it—I remarked—However, I prefer to read a book slowly and thoughtfully, for I find the most pleasure in studying the author’s opinions, and in observ­ ing his style. I am, it must be confessed, somewhat of an exeniplairian, and am always rummaging. One profits more if he reads one book, carefully looking up each word or idea whose meaning is not clear to him, than if he reads many, neglecting this. (A mental picture arises “cerno animo” — a figure is bent over a book, dictionary lies forgotten on the table, row of ency­ clopedias covered with dust—a slight twinge of conscience—Oh, well! Modesty and generosity demand that one speak little of oneself.) —Yes, as I was saying, books should be read slowly and carefully. Which do we remember longer, the one which we read in the hours after midnight, or the one which we spent two or three weeks in digesting? Besides for what does the story count as compared with the way in which the ideas “animis nostris provident.” My friend, the authoress—certainly. I have a friend who writes—likens a story to a plant. The plot, she says is like the stem, a very useful and necessary part of the plant, yet of no beauty without the blossom. —But this same stem, which you deem so unimportant, is green long after the flower has withered, and if the stem is not �GRAPHIC 17 beautiful without the flower neither can the flower live if broken from the stem—remonstrated my neighbor, the botany student. —Aye, the flower withers while the stem is yet green, but it only grows more sweet as it dies away; and, if cherished by some loving hand, will flood a whole room with its beautiful per­ fume long after its colour has faded away, But when the stem is dead it is a useless thing, and is cast away while its flower is placed in a potpourri, My Roman Friend, for such thou art, though thou pursuest a study which should make you otherwise. _I never read any but American authors—remarked the lady opposite, anxious to lead the conversation back within her comprehension—I find it such a waste of time; and I absolutely refuse to read a novel in which the hero dies, I am so fond of humor.— _I see you think that if you can get a character safely past the end of the volume, he will be quite safe from Father Time and Mother Nature for evermore. It is the way with people nowadays; they enjoy being deceived, though I know not why. If an artist can end his book without placing his characters into circumstances which they are unable to overcome c’est comrne il faut; but I do not admire an author who, for the sake of a pleasant ending for his novel, lets his characters act contrary to ius nalura. Since reading “SENTIMENTAL TOMMY,” 1 have cherished a great admiration for Barrie because he painted his character true to life. Most authors would have reformed Tommy, but Barrie realized that for such a character there is no reformation, and so made his readers love Tommy despite his faults. However, I myself am of no such easy faith, and just because the hero happens to be perfectly happy at the end of the novel I do not expect him to remain so for evermore. But since you enjoy humor, and do not care to waste your time upon foreign authors, you have perhaps read Irving, Holmes, Howells or even Mark Twain. -Dear no, those authors bore me beyond measure; it is the men of the present day who possess any sense of humor, replied La bas bleu.— —I beg your pardon, but I think that it takes a great author to be humorous, even a greater one than it takes to be serious—not meaning, of course that every man whom I just mentioned is great.—My friend, the authoress—Yes, she is quite an intelligent and clever woman although she writes in porcella �18 GRAPHIC lemporis—declares that the produce of modern authors can be placed into two categories—that which is supposed to be “thrill­ ing” and that which is supposed to be tragic. It makes me very sad when I realize that the word “thrill” has been misused until it has become ludicrous. It is now a word used to designate carnal pleasure, while it used to be reserved for a feeling of the soul, something almost akin to holiness. But the word is ruinscl through misuse, so if I ever know that delightful feeling of the soul, I shall call it by another name. As for modern tragedy, why, whenever I read one of the so-called tragic paragraphs, I laugh heartily—Ah, perhaps, I made a mistake in what I said about the humor—It depends upon the variety you desire. —Benign smiles from across the table—quite right, quite right, always admit a mistake, and when you have read more— —Aye, but it is a laugh mixed with scorn and with shame to think that people will read such trash, that they will let literature and art deliquesce while all else advances. No poet has equalled Homer—no artist Raphael, yet men claim that th zy have advanced through the ages. But I have blamed the people for reading; perhaps I should blame the authors for writing. Persons who have had little education seldom attempt ^ literal career—pardon me; my mind was wandering, what I meant to say was—as well never mind. I had best say nothing—You know the meaning of the words “Noblesse Oblige”?—also that saying about a word to the wise!—But I have no business to be conversing on these subjects at the breakfast table. I am becoming quite a criminator, and must go ashore while I may.— —Pardon me—said a fluttering person on my right—but are you a pessimist? —Somewhat inclined that way—I rejoined—However, I believe only in cheerful pessimism. My friend, the authoress, declares that she has no more use for the person who grumbles about his troubles than she has for the one who pretends that he is exempt from sorrow. Furthermore, she says, that only the right-minded person is the cheerful pessimist who expects sorrows to come, and is prepared to meet them bravely. Robert Louis Stevenson said practically the same thing in res Triplex— No, I do not believe he was thinking of optimists or pessimists— “As courage and intelligence are the two qualities best worth a good man's cultivation, so it is the first part of intelligence to recognize our precarious estate in life, and the first part of �GRAPHIC 19 courage to be not at all abashed before the fact.” Take, for instance, two joints of a stove pipe about to come apart—the optimist who declares that it cannot fall stands under it while the pessimist, who knows that it will fall if not joined together, fixes it—Ahem, I always wondered why there were so many optimists in the world— —I entirely disagree with you — blustered the lady opposite— Very well, we shall name a famous optimist, and a famous pessimist, and let the company choose between them. The greatest pessimist was Shakespeare, and the greatest optimist was— (The worthy lady across the table interrupted me here in order that she might say whom she thought to be the greatest optimist.—No, indeed, I am not going to tell you whom she named, you all know the person well enough. However' I shall give you a hint, it is the leading character in one of her favorite novels. She remarked that she always read the book when out of sorts, and felt quite ashamed of herself when she had finished, I then whispered to the Botany student that I should think she might be, upon which he became very angry and left the table. I confess that at first I was somewhat surprised by his sudden anger, but I afterwards learned from one of the company that the author of the book in question was a friend of his. Although I could not commend him for his choice of friends, I admired the spirit with which he defended this one, and as I am ever loath to criticise the friend of another, I desired to make peace with the Botany student. Accordingly on the next morning I began a discourse upon friendship. —There is nothing that I value more than true friendship— I began—nothing I like better than to see a person defend those whom he loves—Yes, indeed, I believe in that stubborn deter­ mination which never admits a friend in the wrong.-— Do you ?—broke in the Botany student—I have always wanted to believe that one should be blind to the faults of a friend, but the same story which you mentioned yesterday has prevented me. I feel as though Grizell by acknowledging his faults rendered Tommy a greater service than Elsbeth by blind­ ing herself to them— —Ah, I did not mean to infer that one should not observe the faults of his friends, and try to correct them. You will per- �20 GRAPHIC haps remember that Grizell only told Tommy himself his faults; she never admitted them to others. Yet, for all that, I have often thought that Tommy took more care not to hurt Elsbeth than Grizell. However Elsbeth was Tommy’s sister, which makes a difference you know.— —However, I do not mean that one must start unnecessary quarrels about one’s friends—You know the old saying that the truth hurts—When one realizes that his friend is truly in the wrong—for as Ouida said, we must not expect him to be above humanity—one should strive to amend this fault by mentioning his virtues. But we must use discretion in choosing friends as in every­ thing else, for all that glitters is not gold! Test a person care­ fully before claiming him as a friend, and once you have acknowledged him a true friend let nothing turn you against him. People have abused the word friendship as they have all others, and tiow they are apt to call persons who are mere acquaintances their friends. We must save this very rigid friendship for those whom we love best, for it would lose its beauty if practiced without discrimination. —Yes, it would have been most sad if Brutus had practiced love upon all his friends as he did upon Caesar—remarked a late arrival, a young fellow whom they call Archibald (no indeed I shall never again trust in a name) But all that I have said has been said before—I resumed, paying no heed to the last remark—which only goes to illustrate that there are no new ideas in the world. I thought for some time that I had conceived a new idea on the subject, but upon looking through a little book I found that Stevenson, Ouida, Carlyle, Scott, and countless others, had said the same things only in better language. Like Washington Irving, I admire that love for a friend which lasts even beyond the grave. However, I do not mean by this that a person should grieve outwardly, making himself and all around him miserable, for he that suffers silently suffers most. But the person whom I admire is the one who, after the first grief is over, fights life’s battles, especially those with which the lost one had to contend, the harder. The truest way to show love or appreciation for a friend or relative is to over­ come those faults which he disliked, and to cultivate those virtues which were his. �21 GRAPHIC Also I might say—if I may do so without offending any of the company—that many have found relief after the death of some dear one in study and in good literature. Longfellow, after the death of his wife, sought and found comfort in trans­ lating The Divine Comedy, and a few days ago I was glancing through a volume written by a man after the death of his son in which he set forth the comfort found in literature. I am afraid that I am again becoming too serious for the breakfast table, so shall close this discourse upon friendship with a sonnet which my friend, the authoress, sent me. No, indeed, she didn’t write it herself; she found it among those of her grandmother’s papers, and knowing how highly I value true friendship she sent it to me. When in the twilight hour, coming night Bears to me memories of days now past, I think on each dear kindness which thou hast Ever shown to one whose love was worthless quite To thee; yet whom thou didst ever bless With thy constant aid. And turning to that vast Sea of thoughts whence true praise comes, at last I find the winged words which will express What thou hast done for me. As Athene Didst plant the olive seed in the hard soil Of Athens, and didst tender it with care; So was the service thou didst render me, For in my own heart thou didst strive in toil To raise the seed which thou hadst planted there. M. B., 22. �22 GRAPHIC In Chapel Slowly, calmly we enter there, Speechless together, pair by pair, To our places; then on our knees Praying softly; we know He sees.

From the window the light streams in Signifying remiss’n from sin; Thus we know by the golden sun That divine blessings have been won. Slowly, more calmly, we descend the stair, Heads held high, we descend the stair, Happy to know it's this we choose, Faith and Love. The chapel doors close. F. P., ’22. Extracts from a Freshman’s Diary Wednesday, September the 15th: I can remember the first time I ever went to school, It was in this very building. It was the Portland Academy. I was about six years old and very much frightened. The building hasn’t grown any, but the halls seemed very long to me then; now I am nine years older, and these halls look cosy and homey to me. There are plants and singing birds in the opened windows, the chairs and couches look very inviting. I should think that any girl might be very happy here. , ,S, W<T ™arched mto chapel I saw that it was very different fiom the last time I was there. The only familiar things were he windows, and the high ceiling; and there in these strange surroundings I recognized the beautiful bronze tablet which we plp6d H P aC«°n the wa" after Doctor Johnson died in Florfrnm tb°7 these rows of reverent blue veiled figures om the laughing boys and girls whom I have seen crowding L her T h°T Am°ng th6m 1 see the faces of my sister, demure htf, M ,’ ^ haired mischief of a brother, and d muie little Hylah who was a student at both these schools. �GRAPHIC 23 I think that I shall like my studies. But it will all have to be studied. Thursday, September 16: Can’t wait for school to begin tomorrow. Several girls there I know. I hear we are going to have a gymnasium teacher. I know I shall like that. Hope she lets us play baseball. I like games better than grammar. After school we went to get my sister and my little baby niece. It is a joy to have her with us. She tries to act like a big girl, and do everything I do. We were soon on our way to the country, riding past the fields of stubble and stacks where all summer we watched the growth of wheat and oats. After a while we came to our own greenhouse among the firs. We picked fruit for supper and then took the baby to see the animals. In the evening it rained. Saturday, September 18: Played with our baby in the warm sunshine. She was happy picking up apples for “munner” and feeding corn to the cow. I put her on a big pumpkin and played that she was Cinderella. The kittens followed her about end the chickens watched her at her play and when night came we were on our way home. Later Daddy took me to see my favorite moving picture star in “What’s Your Hurry.” Sunday, September the 19th: Went to church and Sunday school as usual. Glad to be there. I always miss Hylah more on Sunday than other days. Baby was there this afternoon. She played in her sand box on the porch and she says when she was at the beach that she didn’t like little shovels, but that she dug clams with big shovels. When I was taking her coat off she said, “Careful don’t pickle me” (she meant tickle). I left her alone for a minute and when I went to find her, she was in the pantry, her mouth and pockets full of lumps of sugar. When I said, “Oh,, what are you doing?” she said, “I only ate four.” When I was putting on her coat she hugged me hard and said with twinkling eyes “I’ll love you to pieces.” She was so . funny I laughed until I cried. She noticed my tears and said, “There are tears on your face; wipe them away.” Just as they were ready to start we had to hunt the baby and I found her on the table with the nut dish. She cried out in such an appealingway that I knocked a nut and knocked it and knocked it, until I knocked it down and then I unwrapped it. She isn’t allowed to eat nuts either. Saturday, October 1: In the afternoon we went for an auto ride out on the Sandy Boulevard; then we came to a spot where �24 GRAPHIC we could see living pools of water which are parts of the Colum­ bia Slough. Their glass-like surfaces are surrounded by rolling pastures, where cows feed, Reflected in their clear surfaces are trees of Autumn foliage which stand upon their borders. They are seen as in the mirrored floor of a brightly curtained room. These trees clothed in their autumn finery were golden maple, sober scrub oaks, and gay vine maple. As a background to these stood their somber fir tree sisters, dressed in their winter garments, pointing their slender fingers to the blue sky. Beyond one can catch glimpses of a shining river. As we gazed upon this peaceful scene, three cows moved to the edge of the water, where they were pictured, like a girl in the mirror of her dress­ ing table. Over all, Apollo watched from his golden chariot making long shadows as he drove towards the west. A few hundred feet away a continual stream of black machines, like buzzing bees on a summer day, go flying past. And I hope all the people in the machines look at this beautiful reflection of Indian Summer Glory. MARY REY FRALEY, ’24. “Flin’s Farmhouse” Far across the river valley on a level with the eye is an old white farmhouse. The timber comes down to the very edge of a little clearing, as if it wished to consume away every inch it could. The house, dingy, and weather-worn, appears to rock a little in the wind, although it is as stable and sure-footed as any other house with a larger foundation. The only trees that have been left in the little clearing are placed like twin sisters on either side of the house. The sun, as it rises from behind Mount Pitt, makes reflections in the many otherwise black windows. The house, tall and narrower than an artist would like it, keeps guard over a much molested corn field. Only the cawing of some disturbed crow may be heard as a girl in a light blue frock runs lightly down the path between the sentinel stalks of corn. She pauses and gives one clear call and waits to hear an answer­ ing one before she runs back to the friendly yet ungainly door of the old white farmhouse. As if by some miracle, from those two clear calls, the whole world begins to buzz, and the work of the farm begins. The old house appears to settle back behind the two friendly trees as the farm hands pour out fresh from a warm breakfast. THE ANSWERING CALLER, ’22. �St. Helen’s Hall Portland, Oregon GRAPHIC 25 A Stream in Late Summer All through the sultry afternoon a lazy little brook ran, gurgling and grumbling, to its destination. The sun, filtering through the drooping leaves of a sorrow­ ful willow, stole lazily across the dull little stream, and wondered why its erstwhile merry friend should now growl along like a morose cabman at twelve o’clock at night. All sparkle and merriment had disappeared this hot August afternoon, and the creek meandered slowly along as if it were too much’of an effort to drag itself over the stones. A stupid old frog, lost in foolish meditation, sat gloomily on a broken piece of bark, dreaming of “days of auld lang syne,” but a look of satisfaction crept over his dejected countenance as his great mouth closed upon a buzzing green fly that chanced to come too near, deceived by the drowsy appearance of the little stream. JEAN MUIR, ’24. Love in idleness “Come, sweet Titania,” said king Oberon, “give me your changeling boy, or I shall be angry with you.” “Anger yourself, my lord, but ne’er will I give up this boy, answered Titania. “Go as you will,” he retorted, “but I will soon put your love for me into idleness.” Before the morning had arrived, Titania had been struck with the love charm, A silly clown had passed her, with an ass’s head; and our queen soon fell deeply in love. Titania’s four attendants, Pease-blossom, Cobweb, Moth, and Mustard-seed, being sent on their errands, were much dis­ gusted with their mistress and held a long counsel in the woods. “What a foolish ass,” said Cobweb, “to ask for a red bum­ ble bee. I would not go one foot hence for that stupid creature, had it not been for my dear mistress.” “How now,” said Mustard-seed, “why should I scratch the head of that beast?” “Some way must be found to cure him of his foolishness or have our king take this charm from Titania,” said Moth. “I will dress myself as the changeling boy,” said Peaseblossom, “and we’ll go before king Oberon saying, T am the �26 GRAPHIC changeling boy.’ He will then take the charm from our queen and we shall be rid of this ass.” All fairies decided this was a wise, plan; so Pease-blossom set out to do her deed. When she arrived at Oberon’s favourite counselling table, she spoke, saying, “I am the changeling boy sent to you by your slave. I am at your service.” But the device did not succeed, for Oberon spoke sharply “Be off, unfaithful Pease-blossom; Puck has told me of your frolics.” Pease-blossom, feeling much ashamed, returned to her comrades and told them the sad tale. Oberon, however was soon troubled at the sight of Titania’s trouble and removed the charm from her; and now her love for Oberon being out of idleness she thanked her fairies for all their trouble.

VIRGINIA ZAN, ’26. �GRAPHIC 27 Scratches from a Raven’s Claw Like many popular adages, the old saying, “There is no fool so foolish as an old fool,” is really quite absurd; for there is­ land I have seen enough of the world to know)—nothing quite so foolish as a young raven just hatched, with no more sense to his utterance than “caw,” unless it be, indeed, the foolish “yips” of a gambling puppy, or the brazen “brays” of a donkey who is just becoming aware of his own straddling existence. I have recently had new and startling proof of the truth of my observations. In taking Lenore, my wee raven child, to school the other day, I chanced to meet the parent of just such a puppy as I have mentioned; and the contrast between the sober dignity of Dog and the foolish frolics of his child puppy—who, by the way, has since become excellent friends with my little Lenore— was most convincing. There was still another striking example of the truth of my observation, namely, a young donkey; and as I watched the three children who were now absorbed in a game of tag, I made to Dog and Donkey the same remark which I have made to you, my readers. For several moments Dog sat in silence as though he were much interested in watching the clumsy endeavors of young Donkey to catch the more nimble Puppy; then, suggesting that we indulge in a little serious con- �28 GRAPHIC versation, he led the way to a quiet corner of the room. Having settled himself quite comfortably, Dog told me that he often had thoughts similar to mine, and that he had long wished to record them in enduring print; but, being a modest fellow, he had never been able to muster sufficient courage to make a beginning Both Donkey and myself declared that it was the same with us and Donkey added in a confiding tone that since the time he had read “Black Beauty” he had had literary aspirations. Dog further remarked that if he and Donkey and myself should establish a Scribblers’ Club, we might encourage one another in literary pur­ suits, and, in that way, not only gratify our own desires, but also give the public the benefit of our priceless opinions. Of course, no one has better right to claim literary talent than myself; for, as my readers must have guessed, I am the very raven who for so many years was the constant companion of the estimable Poe—(Yes, indeed, that was many years ago, and a feeling of sadness comes o’er me when I think of the days which shall come—nevermore). However, when I mentioned my near relationship to Poe, Donkey curled up his lip in scorn, and remarked with Donkey­ like dignity that he had traveled with Robert Louis Stevenson, whom all the world acknowledged to be greater than a dozen Poes. I had just ruffled up my feathers to make a suitable reply when Dog interrupted me by saying that while Stevenson and Poe were all right in their places, he had belonged to no less a being than the illustrous Theodore Roosevelt. At this Donkey threw back his ears in displeasure, and there would probably have been serious trouble had not the bell for school 1 ung at that moment, and the children come in search of us. I thought that our friendship had come to a sudden close; and I felt honestly sorry, for I had liked the appearance of both Donkey and Dog. Also I regretted that I, by my untimely lemaik, had started the quarrel; for my master was ever hum­ ble and thoughtful. However, when next I glanced at Dog, he gave me a profound wink; and when I looked at Donkey, I observed by his placid countenance that his temper was soon appeased We, therefore, agreed to form ourselves into a Scribb ^ C ^b’ and t0 pubIish our thoughts for the benefit of the world. So with best wishes, I am, my dear readers, Very truly yours, RAVEN. �GRAPHIC 29 Remarks of a Vagabond Parrot on a Bright Afternoon, Not Long Ago I was stalking gracefully down the lane and, old fowl that I am, I could not help being conscious of the colour scheme which I created as I carried my plumage through the leafy arches. But thoughts of self were soon forgotten as I chanced upon an industrious group beneath a tree. Even from the distance of the long lane, they interested me; and since this was the case, I strutted cavalierly toward them in the friendliest manner I could assume. Even as I hesitated to interrupt a circle so bent on deliberation as this seemed to be, I noticed that Dog, with the best of intentions, was writing very fast. Raven was chew­ ing on his pencil in nervous despondency as if seeking “le mot exact.” Donkey was screwing his ear about his hoof as an embarrassed child might toy with a curl until reminded of his manners They all looked up at me, but Raven, somewhat indignantly, for disturbing them; but my intentions were the best and I calmly bade them “Good-morning” and asked in a sweet soprano voice what it was that kept them so interested on such a bright morning. 1, for one, was disposed to wander about among my many friends, ancient and young, as well as among wise and foolish, For after all, I am a very sociable old bird and I like to be among people talking and listening about everything. Especially on a bright, sunny day, what could be more desirable than roving about? I told my new friends this as I perched myself on a small underbranch of the tree beside Donkey. Dog, however, was the most communicative of this worthy group, and he informed me that they were a “Scribblers’ Club.” This was right in my line; so I hinted for an invitation to join them in the pleasing and tactful manner which is customary among my family. “Of course, you understand,” said Donkey, “we all come from the most honourable and ancient families. Why, I can trace my ancestry way back to----- ” “Yes, yes,” interrupted Dog, “but we cannot discuss your ancient and honourable line of ancestors now. But who might you be?” turning to me after having sufficiently squelched Donkey, whose ancestors were evidently his hobby. “I might be anyone, but it so happens I am only a humble �30 GRAPHIC parrot with the best of intentions. I really do not know how to tell you, but I should like to join your Scribblers’ Club. To be one of such a learned group—(profound bows from all greeted this statement)—has long been one of my highest ambitions Now, what say?” They looked at each other, rather taken back at my frank outburst, and then moved closely together and mumbled consider­ ably. Then Raven, who seemed possessed with the art of being able to concentrate very deeply and with a good intellectual mind addressed me and said: “Friend Parrot, after deep thought and due consideration we have decided to let your bright personage — (this was re­ ferring to my plumage, I fear, rather than to my mind)__grace our circle and . . .” “Of course,” interrupted Dog, “we understand your good intentions and will have the utmost patience with your mistakes. I think I speak the sentiments of us all?” turning to the others. Yes, indeed,” croaked Raven. “Of course,” brayed Donkey. Thus they admitted me into the Scribblers’ Club of which I am now a proud and thriving member, We have condescended to publish our articles, and if you should chance to see any of these productions, I hope you will enjoy them. Very cordially yours, PARROT. �GRAPHIC 31 Mr. Roosevelt’s Dog Speaks For many years it has been my great pleasure to be the friend and benefactor of the late Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, and now that this worthy gentleman is dead, I see no one but myself who is capable of carrying on his great work for humanity. It is for this reason that I now make my appearance before the public. This would perhaps have been difficult had it not been for my- timely meeting with one Donkey and one Raven, who are also bent on the enlightenment of mankind, and I wish to say right now that these animals are entirely qualified to carry out their noble calling. Had not the Raven the distinction of being called Poe’s Raven? And was not the Donkey the honored con­ fident of Mr. Stevenson? They are also quite amiable and pleasant companions, though perhaps a little egotistical; but that can be overlooked, There is a more serious difficulty. This is Raven’s daughter Lenore, with whom Xenophon, my little street puppy, insists on playing. He has already fallen into bad habits. It was on this morn­ ing that I heard him trying to imitate the ugly “Caw” of little Lenore. Of course I straightway brought him out and gave him a lesson in the proper way to bay to the moon. Here 1 wish to speak about the oddities of human nature. 1 had just come to the “F” scale in our lesson, and Xenophon was progressing very nicely, when the exercise was somewhat roughly interrupted by some missiles, viz.: boots, vases, ink­ wells, and the like which were being hurled through the air, accompanied by a flow of violent language. I hurried my small charge away lest he might try to imitate these uncouth sounds, which, in the son of a great philosopher, would have been most shocking. I greatly hope that the public will look forward to my articles with reverence and awe, and that they will obtain great benefit from the same. I remain Yours truly, DOG. �32 GRAPHIC Asoka, the White Elephant O, Scribblers, if it chances to be your pleasure, lend ears unto my life-story, listen to the tale of Asoka, the White Ele­ phant. Do I hear you thinking Asoka too lovely a name for a mere White Elephant ? True, indeed, the crimson flower of the Orient which brings good luck to young maidens who press foot upon its petalled fragrance, bears the same name. Ah, I shall tell you how the form of such a fair flower vanished, but how its soul still lived, and then you will know how the White Elephant hap­ pened to possess the name Asoka. Far away and long ago there bloomed in the fields of India a delicate blossom, fair to look upon and of sweet perfume. To her was given the charm known as Asoka, whereby she was enabled to bring good fortune to whomsoever of young maidens that chanced to place foot on her petalled form. But she became dissatisfied with her divan of green and longed to be—so she thought—anything but the charm Asoka. One day she was sigh­ ing this desire to herself, and unknown to her, the queen of the elves heard the whisper and touching her gently, declared: ‘Thy wish is granted; hence thou art a White Elephant, unless genius cross thy path.” If the queen of the elves were a cruel ruler, it would not have been strange that she should change the exquisite grace of a flower into the shuffle of an elephant; but she has ever been kindly and gracious; therefore, the mystery of her unusual act is not revealed. At first the White Elephant wandered about in her own beautiful country. Happy, and again sorrowful were the adven­ tures that befell her during her travels, In her own India she was, , . for a number of years, kept in the household of a Prince; an in is sei vices she carried in processions of the great festi­ vals, princesses as surprisingly beautiful as the houri; and kings she bore in magnificent howdahs. To her ears came the love ,, tt y0L1 the intrigues of kings, and the wisdom of „ ttio G1S W£lp a/'^e p^easure and honour, but as uncertain then vanished * d®Sert that aPPejgp for a short time and After a time, wild tribes from the monutains rushed down upon the province of the Prince, and the royal household was �GRAP H I C 33 compelled to flee. The White Elephant must be left behind; so she stood, a solitary figure on the sands, to meditate upon the cruel fate that had changed her form and rendered her unfit for the exigencies that accompany this uncertain life, Half unconsciously she compared her present life of chance to the delight and luxury and security of the green divans she once knew. But she was too wise to spend much time in mourning; so after a time, she set out to find a companion to share her solitude. Years passed slowly until at last Destiny brought the White Eelphant to the tent of Rudyard Kipling. Their acquaintance became friendship, and both were happy. But alas, this good fortune, too, came to an end; for the time came when the poet-soldier must sail for England. Much as he wanted to take his friend, Asoka would still be a White Elephant on his hands. Thus again she was left behind, alone, though among a throng. New adventures awaited her, however, in a new civilization. She was brought to America and placed in the New York zoo. At first the gay city held her bound as with a spell, so many and varied were its attractions. But as she grew wiser with advancing age, which was beginning to tell on her, the sophisti­ cation of the city wearied her. Broadway lost its spell and the endless promenade of Fifth Avenue bored her. She despised her own uselessness; and as she thought of the crimson flower of the Orient, she sighed to bring Love, if only to one fair maid. It semed that she would never forget. Finally she bade New York a sorrowful adieu and wandered westward. And now, my dear Scribblers, you know me. In your circle I place my last hope. If this literary atmosphere and lofty intellectual plane fill not the void in my heart, then I am indeed of all animals the most wretched. But if—Oh marvelous thought—if while amidst your group Genius should for one glimmering instant show her face before me, then might Asoka again become the crimson flower of the Orient, breathing fra­ grance like sweet incense, and bring something of good into the path of your Desire. If I have wearied you, may the dusky shadows of sleep have enticed you within their garden walls ere this. THE WHITE ELEPHANT �34 GRAF HIC The Family Room The stove talked to himself in his corner, while the humming of the sewing machine sang the dog to sleep on the couch. From the midst of a pile of books, boxes, and Papers on the table, came the tickling of an old “Big Ben,” whose same old tune had never ceased or changed in the past five years. Some fashion books, from the time the clock was new up to the present, lay in piles on one end of the window seat, On the other end, every member of the family had dropped two or more pairs of stockings for mother to darn. Brother’s trousers hung on a hanger from the light fixture on the wall, while sister’s partly made dresses lay on the floor the table and the chair. The pretty cretonne curtains tried very hard to cover up Wendies (the dog’s) scratches on the window, and the dainty yellow walls tried to be bright enough to call your attention from the hundreds of little threads clinging to the carpet.

Your articles and various departments are always interesting. “An experiment in Government” carries with it a good bit of humor under which is a rather ironic sentiment quite expressive of the times. “The Homecoming of Old Chad” is quite impres­ sionistic, tho’ perhaps it is a little over done. If you can write such good stories, why not have more of them? Your poetry is very good, and “My Oregon” is a gem. Come again, Academia; you will be welcome. St. Katherine’s “Wheel” is a very interesting exchange. Your Alumnae letters show that the school has taken a firm hold upon the hearts of the old girls. We sincerely hope that your Guild Fair will be a success. Why don’t you have some stories? Surely you must have some authors in your midst. We hope we will not be forgotten when you send out your next exchange. The stories in the Ogontz Mosaic are very attractive. We agree with the “Argus,” that your cover design is startling, and for that reason is one of the most distinctive that we have seen. A new exchange like the “Oracle Renssalear” is always heartily welcomed by Delphic. “Fourteen” is a very humorous little story, as is “Dora’s Drama.” Your Class Notes are very well arranged. Haven’t you some poets who could rouse the sleeping muse? Good luck, and come again, Oracle; may you have a successful career.

Fire �I Scintilla SEEK THYSELF For what is time but abstract thought in dreams From infinite depths of lonely minds and souls? And what is knowledge other than a sense Of losing the illusion of Thyself? What is the Universal Love more than A concept at the bottom of a heart? The mysteries of the world are great, and life Is but illusion’s outer sign—the depths Thereof attainable by full flight to The highest regions of sublimity! Before the darkness comes, the sable shock Of Lethe’s waters flowing from the dim And haunted vale of shadows, Sec/: Thyself! Be all thou thinkest and hast will to know. ’Tis thus illusion tears away the sign, And Man discerns himself to be a vast And boundless thing, eternal, should he will It so; for in his ego lies the god He may become when spirit rises high Above invasive matter and resists The absolute to hold the hand of death; And, on the borders of a wisdom great With hauntings by dark powers, then transpose Those dreams into reality and be Not sane in all extravagance but seek The phantoms of desire and find—Thyself! Selves may be enigmas to themselves; To each its own infinity, and yet, Take care! If there be one who does not know That sun and stars are overhead, his self Will drag a stunted soul from horrid hole and set It dancing on an evil wind—and that Be self-infinity of those who have No mercy on themselves, of those who look Not upward but advance to meet the pomp Of earthly ways, which brings them to a deep. Devitalized but self-inflicted hell. Ideals not fettered to a human mind Arc disembodied spirits of those selves Who knew a transcendental giving-up Of life at just that moment when was found That beauty lies beyond the visible. Then seek to find thyself’s infinity, Disdaining life’s illusions. Seek it since Infinity alone is not deception. Seek Thyself! : —Carolyn Boivcrs, ’34.

HELENS HALL “That our daughters may he as the polished corners of the temple—-• Such was the expressed ideal of the founders of St. Helen’s Hall when, sixty' five years ago, they laid the first cornerstone. The school, which “was originally established as Spencer Hall in Mil* waukie”,* was founded by the Episcopal Church in 1861, onlv two years after the admission of Oregon to statehood. Thus its growth and development have paralleled those of the state whose widening needs it has always served. In 1869 the school was opened as St. Helen’s Hall in Portland by the Rt. Rev. B. Wistar Morris, D.D., and his sisters-in-law, the Misses Rodney. The ground upon which this original school was built was secured through the lib­ erality of Mr. John D. Wolfe and his daughter, Catherine, of New York, the site being that on which the City Hall now stands. The school opened on September 6, 1869, with Miss Mary B. Rodney as principal. Miss Rodney, w ho was educated at St. Mary’s Hall in Burlington, New Jersey, had hoped to found a St. Mary’s on the west coast, but finding a Roman Catholic convent bv the same name well established in the city, she decided to name the school after the mother of Constantine the Great, who was converted to Christianity by him. Then, too, the great snow peak, St. Helen’s, overlooked the cits like a white-robed sentinel, and the name seemed singularly appropriate. By 1890 Portland had become a large city. St. Helen’s Hall was too much in the heart of the business section, and the site was wanted for the Cits Hall. Thus the property was sold and a new site secured on Vista Avenue, in spite of much adverse criticism from those who felt that it would be too far out in the country and quite inaccessible for day students. Nevertheless, Bishop Morris, with the same dauntless faith and courage as before, went ahead w'ith the plans and laid the cornerstone on June 9, 1890. After the death of Miss Rodney, April 15, 1896, the work was carried on by her sisters, the Misses Lydia and Clementina Rodney, until the close of the school year. They were succeeded by Miss Eleanor Tebbetts, who was principal until January, 1904, when, h\ the request of the Board of Trustees, the Community of St. John Baptist took charge of the school. The St. Helen’s Hall historic building was practically destroyed by fire in 1914. It was deemed inadvisable to rehabilitate the edifice, which was subsequently razed. However, St. Helen’s Hall never closed its doors. School was held temporarily in a nearby gymnasium, and, since Bishop Scadding had passed away the previous spring and Bishop Sumner had not yet come to the diocese, “Bishopcroft” on Portland Heights was utilized for the few boarding students. The next fall classes continued to meet in the gymnasium, while the boarding department occupied old “Bishopcroft” on Nineteenth and Ever­ ett Streets. Arrangements were made in 1918 to move the school to the present site, the old Portland Academy, and this building was eventually pur­ chased for the permanent use of the school. As the Hall grew7, the need of a separate building for the lower forms began to be felt. Moreover, a place was needed for the dances, plays, and other •Quoted from the Seventh Annual Diocesan Report, 1895. Twelve �Scintilla i % entertainments of the upper school. For these purposes a Lower School build­ ing, containing a large assembly and recreation hall, was built. Everything seemed satisfactory, and it looked as though St. Helen's Hall might settle down to a routine existence. But it was not to be so. A necessity arose that the postgraduate department of the school be enlarged. Inasmuch ns the state institutions of higher learning had made rulings to the effect that no credit should be given for postgraduate work in any school after 1931, the Sisters and Trustees of the Hall decided, in August, 1932, to establish a junior college. Fhis new venture was so favorably received in the city that, the next school year, the freshman enrollment had to be closed for lack ofroom. The Lower School building was given over to the college, and again the children had to be crowded into the high school building. It was necessary cither to build or to give up the college. 'Thus on December 28, 1933, ground was broken for the new college wing, and when the girls returned from Spring Vacation, March 19, the building was ready for occupancy. The first official spade of earth for the college chapel had been turned by Bishop Sumner on January 10th at a simple ceremony, attended by the trustees, faculty, and student body. Later, when the chapel was completed, the Bishop was present for a short dedication service. 'Flic chapel was named St. John Baptist Chapel, in honor of the Community of St. John Baptist. On Ascension Day three stained glass windows, forming a reredos in the chapel, "ere dedicated to the memory of Miss Mary B. Rodney. The subjects of these beautiful windows are The Nativity, Christ Teaching in the Temple, and The Sermon on the Mount, Later in May the old cornerstone of 1890, now a part of the Junior College building, was officially unveiled. The Mother Superior of the Community was present, as were also many of the school’s alumnae. St. Helen’s Hall has been an important factor in the educational life of Oregon, and the addition of the junior college enables it to extend its field of usefulness. Here, truly, the student may lay the foundations for a liberal education, an education developing greater intellectual and moral power. » Thirteen ��Scintilla School Song Music—“Land of Hope and Glory” by Elgar. Verses: St. Helen’s Hall, thy Crown exalt To realms as yet untried ; Thv banners fling to heaven’s vault With purest sunset dyed. Young voices sing and young hearts swell, With thy true glories fired, Granted thy strength wherein to dwell, To deeper good inspired. Hark! Hark! ye halls with garlands wreathed, L'nto those voices clear; Strong-hearted youth, resolved, beneath These pillars quitting fear. Thy holy Cross, the blessed shield. Maintain for Truth and Light; Give us thy name on high to wield, Pursuing paths of right. Chorus: Onward, ever onward, guide our footsteps sure. To that land of promise, shrine of ideals pure. Crown our brows with glory, ever striving Youth ; God who lives eternal fill our hearts with Truth. —M. C. Richards, ’35. EDITORIAL Seventeen girls have been graduated from the Junior College of St. Helen’s Hall—seventeen girls who are going on into universities scattered over the United States. Yet, although their next few years may lead them into widely divergent channels, they will be bound by a common purpose—that of striving to make their accomplishments worthy of St. Helen’s Hall. In the two years of their work together, they have adapted themselves to common ideals of scholarship and fair play. They have seen the college start with a handful of students and develop into a well-organized, growing insti­ tution. They have watched the development of a new college—they have lent to that development their fervor and ambition. These seventeen girls form the nucleus from which the college has grown. They have been the impetus, the incentive force of the St. Helen’s Hall Junior College. Two years ago these seventeen girls entered upon a new phase of their lives. As members of the first class, they worked to gain for the college a standing in the educational world. As the year progressed, new students en­ tered, and it became the duty of the first class to establish precedents and lay the foundations for the traditions of the college. Conscientiously, they strove to weave loyalty and honor into the filerc of their school. As they were graduated, they carried with them the ideals developed bv their contacts within the college. One spirit permeated all—the knowledge that theirs is a bond of loyalty created by the strength of common purpose.

The impetus for the movement came al­ most entirely from individual initiative and private enterprise, but in many states public schools of this type have already been founded to supplement the four-year colleges and universities. 1 hese junior colleges, whether private or public, segregated or co-educational, arc serving as a great national laboratory in which educational experiments are being performed and the results weighed. Much yet remains to be learned about this form of education. We must con­ scientiously examine and retain what is best in the older methods; on the other hand, we must open-mindcdly search for and accept what is best of the new. Many modern educators and psychologists believe that the transition be­ tween high school and college is too abrupt, particularly for the immature student. This problem is solved by the junior college, where the student is enrolled in small classes and is given an opportunity to know personally his instructors and most of his fellow students. Here his chances to attain dis­ tinction either in scholastic achievement or in extra-curricular activities ■ lie greater, and with his success he acquires a sense of personal worth which is essential to a \vell-intcgrated personality. In general, the junior college offers the liberal arts and pre-professional courses of the freshman and sophomore years of the four-year colleges and uni­ versities. These courses are designed to develop personality, to cultivate the creative faculty, to train in clear, logical thinking, to instill ideals and habits of service to country and humanity, and, lastly, to lay the foundations for succcssful vocational careers. Specialized work and intensive research are reserved for the years of upper division and graduate study. In the junior college for women only, these purposes and ideals are the same. The young woman learns to think for herself and to play satisfactorily her part in the rapidly changing civilization of today. The first two college years, with their non-specialized orientation and liberal arts courses, become for the girl two years of exploratory experience, two years in which to learn to know the best minds of the past and present, two years, finally, in which to seek and find—herself. i * Sixteen �r Scintilla LlifiRAET POETRY Fantasy < i Little white angels Catch me a star ; Throw it down, down From afar, afar.

Ihfililccn �II Scintilla Bona Mors (Chant-Royal) 1. I shall not have a friend or lover vigilant, Or e’en a guide, my bounteous ship of life to steer; For I would live my hour alone, communicant With only stars and suns until my waiting bier Decides to claim its own and takes as willing bride My body and my flesh and all my mortal side, And lets my winged soul at last be off and free To seek its longed-for dream of immortality— The dream it visioned all its weary days on earth And first saw promised in a star-crazed, moon-mad sea— So I would walk to meet you, Death, alone from birth. 2. Now while I live, and living, am a supplicant At Life’s own shrine, I vainly long for, yet I fear That dawn when I shall be a joyous emigrant Embarking for another world, another sphere. But forced to leave all glories of the eventide, My loved green earth, and ever-changing ocean tide. So while I have my little time to live and be, I would enjoy all mortal things in reverie And take what comes with sadness or with blissful mirth— So I would walk to meet you, Death, alone from birth. 3. Where flaming suns and crystal stars are scintallant Shall be my house, and to my ever-list’ning car The wafting winds will speak in whispers sibilant; And I shall live in Life’s most blessed atmosphere. And to no human thing shall I my thoughts confide Except to loneliness, who walks now, at my side. So I shall pass my many years most anxiously Awaiting Death’s first kiss while Life is holding me. Nor can I sense ought else of ever-lasting worth Except that I was born and Death is waiting me— So I would walk to meet you, Death, alone from birth. Nineteen I �Scintilla 4. My life must be a house of one lone occupant Where I must stitch mv trousseau, year by lonely year, And make my bridal gown, or shroud, illuminant With every aching heart-beat and each pain-wrung tear Until 1 finish it, and looking up in pride, Behold my dark-robed lover standing by my side. Nor will he have to urge or sternly threaten me, For though I am the captive mistress of the earth My real self I would save for only Death to see— So I would walk to meet you, Death, alone from birth. 5. A thousand fools walk with the crowd, incognisant To all the beauty on this earth, then disappear; But I would walk through life, in silence, vigilant Of all its glorious majesty; then, leaving here, In confidence serene, my body would confide To earth, to help it bring in bloom the countryside, And then my soul in mounting ecstacy could flee Off with its lover, Death, to vast infinity. Nor would the world, within its certain, narrow girth Be anything but just an interlude to me— So I would walk ro meet you, Death, alone from birth. Envoi Then some night when my life is ebbing with the sea, Know only that my lover, Death, is kissing me. And give my helpless body to the willing earth, For I know happiness beyond all simile— So I would walk to meet you, Death, alone from birth. —Carolyn Bowers, ’34. Tzcciity �f bH Scintilla SHORT STORY ' ! <r-*o The Charmed Smile gIR GENTRY YATES was tired. The little sagging lines about his mouth betrayed it. The last few months in London had worn him out—garden fetes, house-parties, balls, receptions, dodging reporters, trying to keep his whereabouts secret from the many prying individuals who would give him no peace once they located him. Things had finally come to a point where he simply had to get away from it all. Rest and quiet were imperative. So he had come here to the Caribbean outposts of the British Empire in search of the seclusion he had been unable to find in England. Nevis, his destination, was about the smallest and sleepiest island of that West Indian group. No radios there, no telegraph, no wireless. Sir Gentry had made care­ ful inquiry about such things before coming. Surely in this place he could find the peaceful, undisturbed privacy he craved. He stood on the quay at St. Kitts and stared across the bay toward Nevis, The world forgetting rising conically from the sparkling blue Caribbean, by the world forgot’,” he mused, stroking his mustache thoughtfully with his thumb and forefinger. ‘‘Famous resort in Hamilton’s day. And now deserted.” Steamers didn’t stop there. That was why Sir Gentry had landed in St. Kitts that morning and was waiting now for his chartered sailboat to come alongside the jetty. The tropical sun beat down on his jauntily cocked pith helmet and flashed from his gold-rimmed monocle as it swung from its black silk cord. The sun flashed intermittently and dazzlingly from the heliograph at the Battery. It danced on the water and twinkled on his watch crystal as he glanced impatiently at the time. “Beautiful day!” a pleasant voice behind him remarked. Sir Gentry turned to find a tall man in white. He nodded in polite agree­ ment and screwed his monocle in place. ‘‘Just landed? Or—just leaving?” the amiable gentleman continued conversationally. His sharp blue eyes scanned Sir Gentry’s bags. “Just landed and just leaving,” amended Sir Gentry pleasantly. The newcomer came closer. “Allow me to introduce myself,” he said and shook hands warmly. “Major Tarleton. Recently transferred here from the Indian army. “Sir Gentry Yates, a tired and retired gentleman of leisure,” returned Sir Gentry, smiling that droll little smile of his that had charmed all London. ‘Tve come down here for a rest.” “You’ve come to the right place!” exploded the major. “Nothing ever happens here. Heaven knowrs it was bad enough in Peshawar! But then the midnight raids those natives put on every now and then somewhat broke the monotony.” “I should think so!” Sir Gentry still smiled. He rather liked this fellow. “Yes,” the major went on reminiscently, “those beggars have given us some mighty bad scares. An old berserker ran amuck in one of those border i< 1 1 1 & Txvcnty-onc i . < } �Scintilla towns just before 1 left. Killed seven people—two were our men—and wounded about a dozen others before we could catch him. Religious furv! Pah! Race hatred!” He paused a moment. “At that, though, they’ve more excuse for savagery like that than some of these American gangs one is always reading about. I’d rather live in India than in America!” “1 don’t know about that,” objected Sir Gentry. “Where would you rather live?” Tarleton’s tone was tinged with in­ credulity. “America?” “No. England !” was the reply. And they both laughed. “But do you know that England herself is beginning to suffer from this plague of gangs?” the major volunteered. “Something should be done about it before they become too powerful to cope with. Trust the Yard, though.” “Yes. Trust the Yard,” remarked Sir Gentry drily and rolled his stick back and forth between his hands. “They were working on an interesting case when I was home last month,” the major went on. “You’ve probably heard of it. The Driscoll jewelry robbery? All London was talking of it!” “Yes, I have heard of it, I think. A little more subtly done than the usual robbery, wasn’t it, if I remember rightly?” “Ra—thcr! Quite the cleverest case the Yard’s been up against in a good many years. They seem to think that one man planned and executed the whole thing himself. A man like that is too dangerous to have at large. Scotland Yard will be doing a great service bv running him down.” “But can they do it?” interposed Sir Gentr\. “They’re working on it now.” “I know, but have they any clues? You can’t track jewel thieves without clues.” “Well, they haven’t anything much to go on. A snapshot of the man they suspect, taken by one of the young ladies at the house-party. I don’t know why they center their suspicions about this man, though they mu°t have good reason. But no proof. At least they didn’t have when 1 left. When 1 was there, I talked to the Inspector. At that time their chief concern was to locate the man. He’d slipped through their fingers as neatly as you please. However, with the Yard on his trail, he won’t be at liberty long.” “A great deal of confidence in the Yard, haven’t you?” observed Sir Gentry laconically and turned to gaze across at Nevis. “Why, here comes m\ boat! Well,” with a glance at his watch, “it’s about time, too!” The graceful sloop came alongside, and a slightlv-built mulatto boy scrambled up on the jetty. His coffee-colored body above the tattered dunga­ rees gleamed like burnished metal in the bright sunlight. His white teeth flashed in a wide-mouthed smile. “Is yo ready t’ sail, suh?” he grinned. “Ready? I’ve been waiting Heaven knows how long! But no matter! Here! Pile this luggage in and we’ll push off.” “Yas, suh!” And he set to work. “Well,” Sir Gentry turned to the major with a smile, “I'll see you again, Major Tarlcton?” “Ra—ther! I’ll pop in on you at tea-time some day, and we can finish our little chat.” He was regarding Sir Gentry quizzically. Twenty-two �fr i Scintilla ■ “I say,” he began eagerly, “haven’t I seen you some place just recently?” He paused. A puzzled little frown wrinkled his forehead as he tried to re­ member. “l hardly think so,” said Sir Gentry lightly. “It was vour smile that made me think I’d seen you before.” 1 he smile faded quickly. The tired lines about the mouth reappeared. “It seems so fa­ miliar. And vet I can’t place it. Stupid of me! Oh, well, never mind. Here! Let me help you there.” He lent a hand with one of the bags. “You know, 1 would have sworn I saw you in London last month,” he remarked, handing down the scratched and travel-worn bag to Sir Gentry when that gentleman was finally seated in the boat. Sir Gentry calmly let his monocle drop. “It’s—a—a—possible,” he said and shoved off with his cane. “Good-bve!” shouted the major and watched the little craft catch the wind in her sail and fling the white spray from her bowsprit into the sparkling blue-green Caribbean as she shot away toward Nevis. “Just the same.” remarked Tarleton to himself, “he reminds me of some one. A—ah—Matterson— No. Let’s see. Madison, Morrison—a—a— Mawson—a—a— That’s it! Mawson!” He stared after the fast-disappear­ ing sloop, and suddenly a strange light dawned in his blue eyes. He drew in his breath sharply. “No telegraph, no radio, no cable, no wireless! What then ?” Five minutes later the almost obsolete heliograph at the Battery flashed this message to Nevis: “Arrest man traveling as Sir Gentry Yates and return to St. Kitts under guard. Have proof he is Cyril "Mawson, suspect in Driscoll case. Initials on luggage scratched out. Has twisted smile like man in snap at Yard. Tarleton.” —Barbara Burras, ’35. Midnight Hush, soft wings are brushing through the grass, And beauty sings to beauty as they pass, While music like the silver threads of pain Is falling noiselessly to earth, as rain. Skyscape Here is all the majesty of night With the vastness of her windy skies; Eternity unveils her shining eyes While the stars faint slowly in the light. Twenty-three i �Scintilla Fancy Furs ACKIE THORN was only six years old, but that was no sign he didn't know things. In the first place, he knew that his father, Mr. Gary Thorn, had made a mistake. Mr. Thorn had dismissed Jackie’s bosom pal and com­ panion, Elva, the nurse, and had hired a housekeeper who was to do other tasks in addition to taking care of Jackie. Mr. Thorn felt that Jackie needed no nurse now that he was six years old. Jackie’s Daddy had been gone a whole week. Any moment now he might return. As Jackie sat, toy train in hand, staring out the playroom window onto the front drive, he fervently hoped that the nice lady Daddy was going to bring home with him would be just like Elva. Jackie was afraid of having a mother, because he preferred having just Daddy. Of course Elva had been sort of a mother, although she was really the nurse and the best friend in the world. Jackie wanted Elva; lie missed her terribly. He could almost visualize her standing beside him in her clean, white uniform. Rest of all he liked to think of her face. It was so kind and beautiful, although it really wasn’t an unusual face. Jackie’s gaze wandered out the window again. He saw a car stop before the house. His precious Daddy crawled out and ran around the car to help out a lady. Jackie held his breath. How he hoped she would be like Elva! He needed to look only' once to be satisfied. The lady was not at all like Elva. She was dressed in fancy furs, and she hung too affectionately on Daddy’s arm. Jackie almost hated her. “Why did they need her, anyway?” As a matter of fact, she would be a hindrance. Jackie felt a lump rise in his throat; tears welled in his eyes. He threw himself full length across the window seat and sobbed in great convulsive outbursts. How he hated that woman! As he stopped to gasp for breath, he heard the door open. He hoped he wouldn’t have to face her. Possibly she would leave. Instead, he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder, and he slowly lifted his head in fearful anticipation. All he could see through the tears was fur. Gradually his gaze became clearer, and a face appeared within the furs. It was not an unusual face, but it was kind and beautiful. Jackie jumped to his feet and threw his arms around the fine lady’s neck. “Elva, my Elva!” he sobbed. —Betty Tubbs, ’35.

Twenty-four �! Scintilla Be Patient Yet EDWARDS looked down at old Annie Shanahan. “You’re get­ C URTIS ting pretty old to be scrubbing floors, aren’t you, Annie?” he asked. Annie looked up from her scrubbing brush and smiled. “It won’t be many more days now and mv son will be home. Then I won’t have to work at all.” “God speed his return,” said Mr. Edwards as he went down the corridor. It was a pity, he thought, what war was doing to those left behind, not to mention those who went over. Here was old Annie Shanahan whose one son, Michael, had answered the war cry and left her alone. Only a mother with great faith in her heart could have done what Annie had been doing these three years that her son had been away. Arising at four o’clock in the morning, she would walk through the qui^t, gray streets to the Shav building, where she was employed as janitress. On winter mornings, her gloveless hands would become blue; the cold wind would whip at her face ruthlesslv ; and when she reached the building, she would be panting for breath. Rut Annie didn’t care. She had but one thought in her mind. Her Michael was coming home some day. He would take care of her. Everyone liked Annie. No matter how important a person was, or how busy, if his office was in the Shay building, he greeted her with a cheery “hello,” or stopped to inquire as to her health or news from her son. The great day came! Annie received a brief cablgram from her son stat­ ing that he had been honorably discharged and would be home in two weeks. “Mr. Edwards! Oh, Air. Edwards!” Annie ran after her employer as he walked down the hall to his office. “Well, what is it? What’s all the excitement?” he asked. "Mv son’s a-comin’ home,” breathed Annie, handing him the cablegram. See! Read it!” Mr. Edwards read it and smiled at Annie. “I’m going to miss you,” he said. “Could I stop right now?” Annie asked. “I’ve a lot to do to get ready for my boy.” “Of course,” said Mr. Edwards, patting her on the shoulder. “Come into my office, and I’ll give you your wages up to date.” He opened the door of his office, and they walked in. “What’s Michael done to receive an honorable discharge?” Mr. Edwards asked as he sat down to write out a check. “Sure now, and I don’t know,” Annie replied. “All 1 know is that he’s cornin’ home. My son’s cornin’ home!” “If he has any difficulty in getting a job, tell him to come to me,” said Mr. Edwards as he handed her the check. “He’s good at figures, isn’t he?” “He’s good at anything. He’s a wonderful boy.” She glanced at the check as she folded it to put it into her pocket. “Oh, but Mr. Eduards!” she cried, “You’ve made a great mistake. It says $100, and it’s supposed to be only ten.” Mr. Edwards rose from his desk and came towards her. “Annie,” he said, “go out and buy yourself some new clothes. Doll your­ self up for your son. You deserve it.” Twenty-five �I Scintilla “The good Lord will bless you, Mr. Edwards.” Two tears rolled down Annie’s cheeks as she turned and went out the door. It was the day before the U. S. S. Garfield was to bring Michael home that Curtis Edwards felt a tug at his coat sleeve. Turning, he came face to face with an elderly woman—kind-faced, well-groomed, dressed simply but attractively. “Mr. Edwards! How do you like the way I spent your money?” “Why, Annie! I hardly knew you,” said Mr. Edwards, as he looked at her admiringly. “You’d better be careful. That son of yours won’t recognize you.” “Well, he’ll get a mighty good lickin’ if he doesn’t know me," she said, smiling broadly. “Oh, if you could see what I’ve done to our house,” she continued. “I’ve had it painted on the outside and all done over on the inside. I had Michael’s room fixed up, just the way he’s always wanted it. And 1 bought him that set of books he’s been wantin’ for so long. It cost me nearly every cent I’ve saved, but it’s worth it!” “Indeed, it’s worth it,” said Mr. Edwards. “I’ll bet he’ll be glad to get home.” “And I’ll be glad when he gets home.” Annie stopped and looked up at Mr. Edwards. “These years he’s been gone have seemed endless. It seemed like I was goin’ down a long, long road, all alone; and the days were like mile­ stones. I’d count each milestone as it went by; and I’d say “Michael’s comin home some day. And now,” she smiled through misty eyes, “Michael’s really cornin’. I don’t have to wait and hope any longer. He’s really cornin’.” “It’s wonderful for you, Annie,” said Mr. Edwards. “You’ve worked hard, and you need the rest. I do believe you’re looking better already.” “I don’t know about that, but I do know’ that I’m happier than I’ve ever been before. Oh, but I must be on my wray. Mr. Edwrards, you couldn’t guess w’hat I’m goin’ to do now, so I’ll tell you. I’m goin’ to get my picture taken for Michael’s room. Imagine! An old devil like me havin’ her picture taken.’’ She chuckled and went on. A knock sounded at Curtis Edwards’ office door. “Come in,” he said. The door opened. Mr. Edwrards stood up and stared in shock at the object in the doorway. It was an old lady dressed in a faded smock, run-over shoes, and tattered stockings. Her countenance was strange—that of a woman despairing, defeated. “Can I have my job again?” she asked. “Annie!” Mr. Edwards cried. “Michael—didn’t he come yesterday?” “Yes, he came.” Her swollen eyes filled with tears. “Michael—is blind.’ —Jean Brophy, ’35. Twenty-six �Scintilla v- FANTASY 6^0 Grulfo Ulstru Majou '~T"rHINGS were pretty dull on Mt. Olympus. All that the Gods could find to do was to eat. to sleep, and to hold beauty contests; for Troy had fallen, and Helen had gone home to her husband. Finally, the Olympic Beauty Contest Corporation went to the wall, and things were in a terrible state. 1 he Gods ate and drank till Juno could no longer ride upon her dainty peacock, but had to purchase six Nubian slaves to carry her around. Jupiter, in despair, called a special session of congress. “Brothers and Sisters.” he began, “something must be done. We have grown so much that our mountain has settled six feet. The depression must not continue, or we shall be entirely submerged in the earth. 1 he chair is open to suggestions." Mercury, engrossed in testing the repairs on his winged feet, spoke quickly. “Let’s have a cooking contest." The suggestion was received with groans, but as no better plan was sug­ gested. Mercury’s idea was adopted; the Olympic Cooking Contest was started. The industry among the God^ was amazing. Ingenious Venus bored holes in the moon and produced green cheese. Ever-hungrv Juno drained part of the milky wa\ and condensed it into ice-cream. So the Gods, with the ex­ ception of Mars, proceeded with the work. Mars was a lazy fellow who, in times of peace, was always asleep. After a long rest he awoke, noticed the ac­ tivity, and decided to enter the contest. He started to work but, feeling sleepy, succeeded only in dumping some nectar and ambrosia into an iron pot to cook. He awoke four days later to find that his concoction had almost boiled dry. He tasted it; three hours later. Mars was able to pry open his jaws. He grinned with satisfaction while he cut the substance into strips and tied the strips in palm leaves. After hiding them, he proceeded to go back to sleep. The great day came. The moment had arrived for Mars to present his delicacy. Walking triumphantly before the judges, he handed a leaf to each. T he judges retired with specimens of the Gods’ culinary skill. When they returned, each wore a look of supreme joy. “Brothers and Sisters," began Jupiter, “after careful deliberation we find that the wonderful invention of Mars has been chosen to receive the award in the first Annual Cooking Contest. We are pleased to present him with the pearl-handled potato masher, donated by Vulcan and Son. And now, Mars, tell us the name of your creation.” Mars had to think fast. Not wanting to tell them the real substances, he originated a name in this manner: The Olympic name for nectar is Grulfo and for ambrosia, Ulstru Majou. Quickly Mars combined the initials of the three words. “Friends," he announced. “Laboriouslv I have toiled for months to per­ fect this boon not only to the Gods but to all humanity. I shall no longer keep you in suspense. The name of the substance is—G U M." —Isabelle Croicn, ‘35. Twenty-seven <$ $ ’ m - �Scintilla Serenia A FI ER he had traveled all the night, drinking in the loveliness of darkness and the bitterness of solitude, and all the day, feeling Nature’s heart beat as in his own breast and her soul flow in slow rhythms of mystery through the world, and just as evening was again approaching, Aldar came to a brickpaved terrace that hung out over a sea, silver-waved and mist-veiled. In all directions distance faded into distance until reality became a dim dream. Through a parallel row of slender trees standing straight and tall like the columns of an ancient temple dedicated to Pan, but more perfect than any columns fashioned by mortal hands, for these had been conceived in a goddream, Aldar gazed at the terrace. It was bordered with white pillars sup­ porting a trellised framework of grape vines, from which hung clusters of dusty-coated purple fruit. Between each two pillars were long marble benches; but, on the sea side of the terrace, the two center pillars had no scat between them. At the base of each stood a large blue jar, forming an entrance into space. Over the nearest bench w as thrown a cloak woven of sunset, more fragile than clouds. Aldar wondered to what place he had come and to whom belonged the cloak. The last vestige of sun seeped into a blue twilight as he looked; and from somewhere came the faint sound of silver bells chiming in the wind. Still Aldar gazed. The moon came up from the water; and the night appeared, scattering tiny stars in the branches of the trees, where they caught in the leafy foliage. By their light, Aldar saw the figure of a girl leaning against one of the central pillars, looking out over the sea. Her robes faded into the colors of the night; her face gleamed white like the marble about her; and her eyes—Aldar sensed rather than saw—had the purple lustre of the grapes. Slowly she turned her head, and the beauty of her eyes fell upon Aldar, chilling him with their knowledge of all the unspoken dreams, of all the unwritten poetry, of all the untold love of countless centuries. “Who are you?” he asked, and so faint was his voice that the sound was lost in its own breath. “Serenia,” replied the figure in a voice lovelier than the sound of falling water or the sound of children’s laughter in the wind; and, as she spoke, the first rays of the morning star slid down upon her hair and then caressed her throat. Terrace, pillars, and figure slowly faded into the star beams. Aldar could see longer only the strange, time-filled eyes fixed upon him silently, sadly. “Don’t go,” he cried, “don’t go.” But even then her eyes were obscured in the star; and Aldar stood alone on a cliff above the sea, and the morning was beginning to sing. “I shall find you again,” spoke Aldar. “if 1 have to search the world and the air and the water a million times over.” And some­ where in the distance, he heard the faint chiming of the tiny bells swaying in the wind. —Carolyn Bowers, '34.

Twenty-nine i \ �Scintilla ' I YHE Play Production Department of the college is a constant source of energy and activity. Interesting creative events are continually taking place behind the closed doors of the workshop and of the practice stage. At length the results of these secret activities are introduced to the public in the form of finished plays. The power and inspiration behind every play produced are Constance Roth Folts, the capable director of the department. Mrs. holts brings to her work a deep and sincere love of the theatre, and she expends no small amount of time and effort in her attempt to achieve the most perfect results possible. It is due to her untiring efforts that the Dramatic Department has become one of the most influential factors in the lire of the school. Every girl who works under her direction receives invaluable help, not only in the art of the theatre but also in the all-encompassing art of living. The first major production of the department was the presentation last year of the famous Greek tragedy, “Antigone,” by Sophocles. It was truly a massive undertaking, and many were dubious concerning the outcome. The storms wrere successfully weathered, however, and the play was pronounced a marked success. All members of the department took part in the play, and each contributed outstandingly to the ultimate success of the whole. The “Antigone” production led inevitably to the major production of this year, which was another Greek tragedy, “The Trojan Women” of Euripides, from the English translation by Gilbert Murray. This play is a powerful poetic treatise against war, depicting as it does the sufferings of the women of Troy following the Trojan War. Their cries echo the cries of women of all ages who have passed through the strife of war. Because of the universality of its theme and especially because of its timeliness in the present international crisis, the play proved a happy choice. The entire Play Production class took active part in the construction of scenery as well as in the actual playing. The play w'as presented on the evenings of the 12th and 13th of April, and both per­ formances were received with great enthusiasm. The freshmen who w'ere enrolled in the Speech Interpretation course of the department contributed their part in the dramatic events of the year with the presentation of three one-act plays on the evening of May 4th. The reper­ toire of plays included “Bargains in Cathay,” a romance bv Rachel Field, “El Cristo,” a tragedy bv Margaret Larkin, and “Green Eyes from Romany,” a comedy by John Kirkpatrick. These plays were directed and produced by members of the advanced Play Production class and were under the general supervision of Constance Roth Folts. The entire department has grown immeasurably during the two years of its existence, and confident hopes are held for its future success. Thirty �Scintilla 1 V IRA ToFoM E FOR THE ACADEMIC TEAR 1933-1934 THE COLLEGE BUILDING The new building was an event in itself and as such is worthy of special mention. The ground was turned by Bishop Sumner January 10th, 1934. 1'he weeks passed quickly, and soon the worthy dream of a new college build­ ing had materialized. The building was ready for occupancy March 19th. An impressive ceremony was held in which the chapel and assembly hall was fittingly dedicated to the Sisters of the Community of St. John Baptist. Had it not been for their untiring efforts, the college would still remain nothing more than a beautiful dream. On May 10th three stained glass windows forming a reredos in the chapel were dedicated to the memory of the first principal, Mary Burton Rodncv Later in May, during the visit of the Mother Superior from New Jersey, the cornerstone was officially unveiled at a beautiful and awe-inspiring ceremony. OCTOBER 13—The old girls entertained the new girls at a pai tv which served the purpose of initiating them into the college life. Much was made of the fact that this date chanced to fall upon Friday the 13th. OCTOBER IS—Mrs. Donald Spencer, manager of the Portland Sym­ phony Orchestra, presented a most interesting talk on the “Highlights of Symphonic Orchestras.” Her talk was supplemented with numbers given by Ted Bacon and his viola quartet. OCTOBER 21—The College Students entertained their mothers at a formal tea which was held in the college hall. The mothers of the student body officers poured, and all those who attended took advantage of the excel­ lent opportunity to become acquainted with the school’s faculty. OCTOBER 24—An evening “get-together” was held by all members of the student body. A pot-luck supper was served, and a well-planned cntcrtainment was the order of the evening. NOVEMBER 10—The first dance of the year was given in the college hall and was strictly informal. The “Armistice Day” theme was carried out. DECEMBER 16—A rummage sale was held for the obvious purpose of raising money. DECEMBER 21—A Christmas Formal held the spotlight of the even­ ing. Blue and silver were the leading motives of the strikingly beautiful dec­ orations. JANUARY 20—The college students entertained the girls planning to enter the school at mid-year with a tea given at the home of Miss Margaret Shaw. FEBRUARY' 3—A luncheon and card party was given at the “Pewter Plate.” Many friends of the college attended. FEBRUARY 9—An infoimal St. Valentine’s dance was the last social event preceding the Lenten Season. Thirty-one i f J \ \ ;V. t �I Scintilla APRIL 7—1 he sophomore class made an interesting morning trip through Lincoln Memorial Park. APRIL 7—A bridge tea was given in the afternoon. Cards were played in the old college hall, but tea was served in the new building. As tin's was the first social event to be held in the new building, it was doubly important. APRIL 15—The freshmen were entertained bv Sister Superior at the Lake House. Swimming, boating, and many other diversions were enjoyed by all. APRIL 20—A Sport Dance was held in the gymnasium, which proved a delightfully cool spot on a very warm evening. The marine idea was carried out in the blue and white of the decorations. APRIL 21—The second annual campus day was observed. Each girl came equipped with some garden implement, and by the end of the day the campus had assumed a thoroughly rejuvenated aspect. Added excitement was caused by the visit of the “Candid Camera Man,” who snapped some pic­ tures of the girls at work. These pictures were duly printed in the Oregonian. MAY 12—The first rummage sale of the year was so successful that a second one was held in order to augment a sadly depleted treasury. JUNE 1—The last formal dance of the year was held. Honor guests were the graduating sophomores, who were royally entertained by the fresh­ men. JUNE 3—The Rt. Rev. Edward Makin Cross, of Spokane, Washington, preached the Baccalaureate Sermon at Trinity Church. After luncheon at the Hall, the sophomore class picture was unveiled. Sister Superior was hostess for a picnic supper at Everglade, after which parents and friends were invited to witness the first traditional Torchlight Procession. At this time the school seal was entrusted by the sophomores to the freshman girl, who, in their opin­ ion, is most worthy to carry on the traditions and uphold the ideals of St. Helen’s Hall Junior College. JUNE 6—The Commencement address was delivered at Trinity by Dr. Norman F. Coleman of Reed College, and diplomas were awarded to the graduates. SPEAKERS OF THE YEAR Norman C.

BASKETBALL Basketball is the major mid-winter sport in the Junior College and. as such, received the enthusiastic support of the students. Last year our team played the high school only, but this season a team was organized for inter­ collegiate competition. With Dorothy O’Dea as captain, the sextet and sub­ stitutes made a good showing in spite of the fact that the organization is en­ tirely new. Five intercollegiate games were played. Scores were: Reed College vs. Junior College. . . . First game, 23-21 Reed College vs. Junior College. . . Return game, 27-15 Lin field Colege vs. Junior College .. First game, 13-42 Pacific University vs. Junior College.. .First game, 30-24 Pacific University vs. Junior College. . Return game, 34-21 To Gartha Graves and Jean Brophy, our yell leaders in blue and red, was entrusted the important task of evoking mighty “Rails” from the rest of the student body. Thirty-four �Scintilla VOLLEYBALL Volleyball was played during the season by many of the girls, not as an organized sport but as a pleasant diversion. No teams were assembled, but the girls gathered at odd hours to play this enjoyable game of quick returns. / ARC I-I E R Y A great deal more interest was shown in archery this year than last. Even sunny afternoon girls armed with bows and arrows gathered on the campus for practice in marksmanship. The new target was lost somewhere between here and Missouri. In the meanwhile, the somewhat dilapidated old one was used. Notwithstanding these difficulties, numerous girls developed accuracy and precision in a:m. A silver cup was given by Bishop Sumner to the winner of the archery tournament. TENNIS Tennis is always a popular sport, and the campus court is seldom vacant during the tennis season. The spring tournament opened this year with thirtytwo girls participating. All the games were fast, showing the pep and action characteristic of the net game. RIDING Riding, while not an organized activity on the campus itself, has proved throughout the year a popular sport for one group of college girls. The various riding acamedies provided fine horses and interesting bridle paths for cross­ country rides. Girls were given opportunity for instruction in formal, trail, cross-country riding, drill, mounted games, and jumping. Paper-chase hunts and supper rides were enjoyed during the late spring months. Thirty-five ' - .... ; v �n ' -A FENCING During the two years of the existence of the college, interest in fencing has been outstanding. Fencing is more than a sport; it is a fine art as well. In the use of the light-weight, blunt-tipped foil, art is all; brawn is nothing. Intricate, graceful attacks and parries, smooth-flowing lunges, statuesque es­ cape thrusts—all these as accessories to the swift, sure play of the mind make fencing the best possible training in co-ordination and poise. About forty girls don masks and plastrons three times each week and cross blades in snappy duels on the open-air pavilion. This year a team of three girls, including Lcnore Lavanturc, Sue-Mar Shoemaker, and Verona Zurhorst, was organized under the direction of William Howard Knapp for inter­ collegiate competition. They fenced at Reed College and in Seattle at the meet of the Amateur Fencers’ League of America. The annual college fencing meet was held April 26. A demonstration was given by the entire class to acquaint parents and friends with the technique used in the sport. The team championship was won by Lcnore Lavanture, cap­ tain, Janet Anderson, and Pearl Karr. The individual fencing championship was won bv Lcnore Lavanture, who was awarded a silver cup, and second place was taken by Verona Zurhorst, who was given a fencing foil. Honora­ ble mention went to Julia Philp. Thirty-six �Scintilla i United States National Branches IN PORTLAND S. E.

EMERSON 1 ■WLll/ll&bL&tlO-M, \ «• ; I: ! tli �I at: m : •» �I ■ S H HJC= C^fciietal / ujiet mtciuLeuce The Sisters of St. John the Baptist It gives one some satisfaction to review the progress which has come to our junior college in the three years since it was established as a separate department. Almost since the foundation of the Hall in 1869 there has been college work at the Hall. It is a long step from the scattered few of those days having their classes with the high school teachers in the high school building, to our present classes in our new building with teachers largely belonging to the college alone. It is even a long step from the first year when the college used the lower school building and part of the main building. Yet there was something very delightful about that first year and there were many fine memories to be cherished in the older order. Those girls, some of whom came for the two years only, just as the present junior college girls do, have been loyal alumnae of the Hall. It is our hope that this will always be true of the junior college graduates as well. Judging from the graduates of the first class, this wish will be fulfilled. However, one class, in the enthusiasm of being the first one, does without thinking what other classes may not do unless they form a definite plan, thinking out carefully the aims and ideals of true loyalty to an institution where certain truths have been stressed as basic in one s search for an education which will fit one for real life. St. Helen s Hall stands for a vital interest in things spiritual as well as an interest in things intellectual Spiritual values, which include the moral, are not to be confounded with a smooth piety which is all right to the eye until one looks beneath the surface. Spiritual success makes one truly humble yet truly great; it cannot be obtained at the expense of others’ good nor by any kind of camouflage of which the civilization of the past has been so fond. It is equally true that there can be no real success, material or intellectual, without a real appreciation of spiritual values both for the individual and for the race. Therefore to be a real St. Helen’s Hall girl or a real St. Helen’s Hall alumna implies a singleness and simplicity of purpose or ideal, born of looking sanely at all sides of our complex nature and choosing those things which have behind them rugged truth and honesty, fair dealing and breadth of view. Every Hall girl should think deeply about this. The aim of your college is to begin to prepare you for real life, not merely to send you on to another institution. How best can you prepare for this life? Is there any surer way than by honesty? Honesty in thinking, honesty in deed, whether one is found out or not,—but above all, honesty in knowing that there is no real life in this world, no real knowledge without a strong devotional faith in the reality of another world and in the God from whom all good—material, intellectual or spiritual—surely comes. —The Sisters of St. John the Baptist. five ; I; • 1= �=S H HJC Gertrude Houk Fariss Dean Esther Christensen Walker Registrar essacjc To those who are going forward: May your two years at St Helen’s Hall junior college have given direction to your living.

Librarian �= S H H J C ■ (f^Jutctial Though we graduating sophomores will undoubtedly cease to remember details of the two years spent in this Junior College, there are certain genuine elements which our personalities have assimilated so definitely that they cannot be forgotten. Particularly will those influences continue which the faculty members as individuals have exerted through the media of conference, class-room, and extra-curricular activities. Those hours of intercourse have directed to a major degree that mental growth and spiritual development which may have been ours here. Although we may become unconscious of their significance, all through our lives will occur events that will be evidences of the dynamic quality of the inspiration received from our Junior College professors These years of adolescence have been filled with a desperate struggle toward expression and adjustment. Personal contacts with instructors who have learned to give of their patience and of their precious understanding have been invaluable in making the necessary reconciliations. Assurance, generally speaking, is essential for youth, which can be sure of so pitifully few things. And these mature minds who have offered us the stability of Truth have partially relieved our burden of doubt and of antagonism. If these faculty members have revealed but one Truth,- if they have awakened i in us but a single joy in creative expression/ if they have seen our potentialities and have directed them wisely—then must they know that they have Taught and that we have Learned. That in itself is their triumph, their immortality manifest in St­ our lives. —M. C. R IS' ■ t!« B £ii >;/! |f ■ i i ei9ht �Those having torches will pass them on to others.

The student body, toward the end of the year, in recognition of the need for a student journalistic organ, voted to assume the responsibilities of the publica­ tion. Recommendations for position of editor were made by Dean Fariss, and the Student Council appointed Florence Skeels to the position. On return from Christmas vacation, a new sheet was ready for student body use. In the course of the term, foreign comments, exchange and library items, fashion and music notes, and interviews, as well as straight news stories, were added to its columns. The attempt to adhere to high journalistic ideals was not unrewarded, for on March 22nd, the college received notification that Beta Phi Gamma, in granting it a local chapter, approved its publications and accorded them national recognition. ei 3htecn �sHHJC= an unci OFFICERS Pat Kellogg..........

Under the guidance of Florence Skeels, editor of the Hall Tree, and Dean Gertrude Houk Fariss the Press club was launched to further interest in news­ paper work. Members of the organization were journalism students who were Hall Tree reporters. Eager for broader horizons and contacts, the group petitioned for membership in Beta Phi Gamma, affiliated with Alpha Phi Gamma, sending copies of school publications, letters of recommendation, and club records. I City-wide recogni- tion followed the admission of the Alpha Oregon chapter. Monthly luncheons with prominent journalists as guest speakers were inaug­ urated. B. F. Irvine, Adelaide Lake, and Dean Collins were among those who addressed the club. The term project undertaken by the Xi chapter was the writing of a series of articles for a Portland paper on places of interest in Oregon. Cotton opening , which initiated the wearing of summer dresses, and a Japanese tea were two activities sponsored by the fraternity. nineteen ■ :r> �r 1 1 Back row Mayer, Thompson, Steels, Newell, Elton, Johnson Front row Leonard, Andersen, Picket, Burras Clui OFFICERS Nancy Pickel. .

The members were chosen for their desirability along the lines of contribution to the Junior College dramatics, initiative, cooperative attitude towards drama, and an average scholarship record. The carefully selected charter membership consisted finally of seven members of the graduating class and five undergraduates. At the first meeting, which was held informally at the home of one of the members, the officers for the term were elected and installed. At later meetings a constitution was drawn up, committees for projects were appointed, and inter­ esting informal discussions were conducted. Activities of the club included group attendance at worthwhile stage productions, monthly reviews of good theater publications, reports on worthy actors and actresses, presentation of play readings at open meetings of the club.

The play production class, after a major conflict, chose to produce "Little Women' . On the 21st and 22nd of February, the play was presented in costume to large and appreciative audiences. Soon after this, the speech interpretation class selected four one-act plays for production, which were directed by members of the play production class under the supervision of Mrs. Harris. An enthusiastic audience received, May 11, "Elmer", a comedy by B. H. McNeil,- "Mansions", a tragedy by Hildegarde Flanner,- "Figureheads", a charming phantasy by M. Saunders,- and The Boor , a violent Russian farce by Anton Chekov.

From thirty-five to forty girls regularly turn out for the classes. On May 2, the sophomore team, composed of Lenore Lavanture, Helen Pewtherer, and Elizabeth Reeves, defeated the fresh­ man team of Mary Carol Zander, Lisbeth Dodson, and Jane Logan. Lenore Lavanture won the championship medal of the Junior College from Lisbet Dodson, second, and Helen Pewtherer, third. Besides this achievement she defeated a Reed college representative for the girls' fencing championship of ' I Oregon. On December 4, 1934, bouts and a drill by twenty fencing students were featured on the stage of the Oriental theater. The fact that several girls have won championships in the Amateur Fencers League of America has shown it to be a success. twenty - eight �SHHJC = lULUI “j Although last year volleyball was an uno rganized sport, this season a team was formed and played the high school. Much enthusiasm was shown toward this activity, and it promises to become an important addition to the sports calendar of the Junior College. Twice every week more than a dozen girls turned out faithfully. As a result of their interest and support a team was organized, consist­ ing of Dorothea Bargelt, captain,- Margaret Newell,- Isabelle Crown,- Charlotte Chambers,- Melba Riopelle,- Irene Cleland; Mary Janelle,- and Maxine Van Patten. JZutiUUj About a dozen girls rode every week at the Oswego Riding academy. Since the class was new ly formed this year, the girls have been unable to plan any meets. In addition to their regular Wednesday night classes, they have cross-country rides every month. This spring a group of sixteen riding enthusiasts formed a Riding club at the Junior College. They elected Jane Elton, president/ Norma Dinger, secretary,- Jean Anderson, treasurer. Florence Brent Thompson is the club advisor. ICtlJ While good weather was prevalent last fall, many girls came out for archery, Not even the advent of winter could discourage them, for as soon as the target was moved inside the gym, they continued to enjoy the sport About twenty girls in the Junior College participated regularly, among whom were Virginia Olsen, manager,- Kathleen Hoyt; Marge Leonard; Maybelle Clark; Doris Lee; Phyllis Payne,- Jean Parks,- Muriel Dyke,- Jean Nelson,- Ruth Heidtbrink; and Barbara Mayer.

Ever since good weather has begun, the tennis court has been in constant use. This sport is extremely popular at the Junior College when weather permits. Two hikes were sponsored last fall by the hiking division of the Junior College, One was under the leadership of the Mazamas, and the other was led by Mary Carol Zander, an experienced craftsgirL The hikers enjoyed completely the trips, which took them over the Oneonta Gorge trail and through Paradise Valley to the Mount Hood timber line. twenty-nine : �= S H H J C == RIDING CLUB VOLLEY BALL TEAM �• If you once understand an authors character,the comprehension of his writings becomes easy.

And in the garden two youths stood one day before Him who dreams all dreams, who knows all knowledge and all men, though none know him. In his voice was the soft rhythm of spring as he spoke to them saying, My children, you must travel from this, your home, to another land It is very far, and it is very near You shall take with you but one thing. So saying, he gave to each a tiny goblet formed in the shape of a heart, and in the goblet was the wine of life. Bearing the gifts, which were in all ways identical, the youths went forth proudly, and the morning made gold in their hair. The tides of the sea ebbed and flowed—the lovely songs that men call years were born and died Two men came to the gates of the garden, and the stars made silver in their hair. Each bore a goblet in his hands, and as they stood before Him who understands all sorrow, the first man stepped forward, saying, Master, I return that which you entrusted to me as beautiful as when it first was given. And he proffered the heart which still hard and shining and filled with wine, the heart which was still hard and shining and filled with wine. But the Dreamer s eyes were sad. The second man came forward then in silence, for the heart in his hands was worn and bent and empty, for the wine therein had been freely given to those who thirsted. Then the Dreamer smiled, and deep in the heart of Eternity a star was born. II.

This ever-shifting, non-existant, ever-constant time. (There is no time,- we do not die. It is a song whose rhythm changes.) The night we danced, with shining eyes and singing hearts-— And breakfasted at three— (Love lived in the wind that night!) The doughnuts in the afternoon—we Got the sugar even in our hair!— The running rough and tumble, laughing in the sun — The day you cried for joy that came to me— The swift tenderness— (Youth is so quick from the dust to the moon) The warm small things—the half-thoughts—wholly understood— (Oh, I wonder how you’ll look with silver hair, And where I’ll be—why,—I may not even know you then!) —Marian Johnson, ’36. stance What shall I leave to you when I must go? No more than dull remembrance of a face, And thoughts to paie against the keener glow One swift white hour brings in careless days? Rather I leave to you as heritage These hoarded loves I shall not know again— The tawny stars that beat the sky’s blue cage, Shaking the heart’s still longing into pain,The silver madness of an autumn night, The mirth of trees, the peace of hills, the storm Of splintered flame that frames their evening night, All these I leave. Ah, but I’ll rob you, too, Of my best gift in life—my need of you! —Katherine Coney, '35. th i rty-two �SHH JC — s ■ ciivat. Is ' cX Aimless I wandered, tracing the roughness of milky skies that clouds had curdled; Reckless I brewed in meditation ’midst withered hours and slipper-prints blown sand had twisted— A million miles, a million years I strolled in thought, And from that intimate reflection I resurrect a vestige, pulsing: What have I to do with vacant rooms that shriek with emptiness,With callous walls that echo the dusty waves of faded breaths? What to me are teeming nights and violet sleeves that wheedle color from the wind? These temples pounding in hot hands—These memories that, dried, now cleave and let pour tears that streak and chafe.— The Answer whose they are! grey oppressing me, the blue wherein I sink, this brown despondency—are they my doom? Then ceased this mounting query—as, treacherous, my kneeling eyes begged back a soul from the Demon Beauty who there had tortured me. —M. C. Richards, ’35. In dreams I lay my lips within your palm And, slipping down, kneel close beside— I paint in tender murmur all the tones Of sober, surging love I feel. How sad to wake and find no paleness there Of hand or throat! The gold that lined grey feathers in the sky Has disappeared; The wind that brought the night fling stars Like pollen,And high above my weary arms, leaves dye Their blockprints,But I—bury my head in shadows that sag And cry out our separation.

It is a bowl of popcorn. We have the fading depression with its many kernels that popped tragically. oh, so In a tall building in the heart of Portlands banking district there is a little old German woman who does the cleaning for the metropolitan skyscraper, Two or three years ago a bank crashed, and one more penniless aged was added to the panic's already immense list of casualties. This little old woman told me that rheumatism bothered her continually—but one must live. I have often wondered what terrible fascination this life on earth must have to produce its tenacious hold on men and women long after any joy of living has passed. We have Huey Long and General Johnson, Adolph Hitler and The Man Bilbo. We have Stalin and Mussolini, Japan and Germany, Chinese noodles and hamburgers. Then there is Dr. Townsend wiith his plan and Upton Sinclair with his. Juggle them all up in a hat and take your pick. One of them may pop. An intriguing popcorn is the farce that is being staged at our august capitol by Huey (The Kingfish) Long. Perhaps it is typical of the whirlwind thirties that such a man as the senior senator from Louisiana may rant and roar with such supreme impudence that upon hearing of his decision to be a candidate for relection, Floor-leader Robinson could sincerely groan, God save the Senate! And America, too, one is tempted to add A man stands at the street corner with the red light against him. He is im­ patient, almost halfway across the street before the signal flashes green. Such is the spirit of the age, straining at the leash, wanting to hurry on and on—faster and faster—reaching such a high tension of living that the over-burdened life ultimately cracks. And on it goes. The world today keeps popping and popping—until lo—we have a bowl of popcorn. Fragile, worthless, with taste but without body.

Her shining blond hair, gold as the Valkyrie’s, was coiled in a long knot at the nape of her neck, emphasizing the beauty of her throat. Gleaming, satiny shoulders rested against the green brocade of her evening wrap—green brocade that matched her long, green eyes, thickly lashed. Her skin was perfection—white and translucent—seemingly innocent of cosmetics. Her mouth alone was colored—stained a vivid, aching orange. I could hear her voice when she spoke to her handsome escort. It was low and vibrant—well-bred to a degree. To my glamour-blinded eyes she seemed the epitome of gracious sophistication Fascinated, I rudely watched her every movement and strained my excited adolescent ears to catch a fragment of her conversation. When the curtain rose upon the first act of the play I partially forgot my idol. What else could I do? One of the world’s greatest actresses was giving her interpretation of "Romeo and Juliet", one of the immortal love stories of the world. I was fascinated by the pathos and beauty of the play, but between acts I had ample opportunity to scrutinize my neighbor. She was dazzling and yet not too dazzling—beautiful, but with such a calm beauty that it was soothing merely to look at her. Nothing that she did contradicted her appearance. She was quiet, gracious, and attractive. I imagined her in her home—of course it must be large! It must be gracious and beautiful like herself. I could see her as a tactful hostess for large dinner parties. There was nothing about her to spoil my picture of her. Came the final act of the tragedy—and disillusion. The poignant death scene of the lovers, brought into aching reality by the genius of the actors, held the entire audience spellbound and silent. As young as I was, my eyes were glued on the stage, and the tears welled out of my eyes and ran slowly down my face and thence down the front of my ruffled "party-dress’ . Suddenly a silly giggle broke the silence and the spell. Shocked and unbe lieving, I gazed across the aisle, where sat the beautiful lady, her handkerchief pressed against her mouth, giggling irrepressibly at som ething that her escort had just whispered in her ear. Everyone in our vicinity was disturbed and irritated, but there she sat, laughing in idiotic glee at something—something I never cared to know! Somehow it spoiled my evening. I looked at her only once again before we left. She had taken her handkerchief away from her mouth it was —Phyllis Hall, 36. smeared and stained with orange lipstick. thirty-six �S H H J C “ CL "That our daughters may be as the polished corners of the temple."—Psalm 144:12. Every day upon entering the college, we saw this inscription on the corner­ stone. As we knelt during the chapel services and strove to communicate in prayer and hymn with the eternal, the beauty of the expression and the truth of the thought reminded us again of that ideal toward which we were growing. The chapel itself, with the color-stained light shining through the windows behind the altar, with the sonorous tones of the organ, and with the familiar service, has been our temple. Il has become a part of our life-pattern—a part, moments of which lend occasional splendor to days that have threatened to become monotonous and mechanical. The chaplain revealed to us the immortal quality of Christ’s message and led us r finally to chat peace of God which passeth all understanding.’ The final amen climaxed the service and rose to fill the chapel with the eager hope of youth. It is the pleasure of the student body here to acknowledge the presentation of a fount by Charlotte Lee of the high school to our Junior College chapel. The three arched windows, depicting stories from the Gospels, were dedicated to Mary Benton Rodney, the first principal of St. Helen’s Hall. The Nativity of our Lord is appropriate to the lower school/ the Christ in the Temple, to the high school,- and the Transfiguration, to the Junior College. These expressions of a generous and radianl spirit lent additional inspiration to our college chapel hours. i thirty- seven �=SHHJC: /, 1934 to lane J, 1933 Dear Diary: Sept, 1.

You should have a background of knowl­ edge to make the most of specialized business training in the business world. Business has become the greatest of all the vocations and Secretarial work is the ideal vocation for the young woman. Preparation for a secretarial position requires a comparatively short time. Secretarial work enables a young woman to get a foothold in the busi­ ness world, to earn a good income, and to advance to a position of trust and responsibility. To secure this specialized training, Behnke-Walker College has proved to be the ideal place. Its training is based upon the actual requirements of business. Because the training is completed in a limited time the cost of attending is inexpensive. Behnke-Walker College maintains an active Employment Department, which gives assistance to its graduates in securing high grade positions. James A. Garfield said that the most valuable gift that can be bestowed upon women is something to do which they can do well and worthily, and thereby maintain themselves. f o rty- on e �i : ICiMt ■ i I ^Photographs Live Forever f 917 S.W.

VOLUME III PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF 1936 ST. HELEN’S HALL JUNIOR COLLEGE PORTLAND, OREGON — s �\ : !?'-i I .! Foreword.. Believing rhythm, the dynamic pattern of things, to be the basis of all life and the only true eternity, we have chosen it as the theme of this Scintilla, hoping to catch therein something of the fundamental quality of these college years, the endings and beginnings, the growth and changes that have gone into them and that now are flowing on into the other beginnings and the other endings that shall form the completed rhythm of our lives.

But without a vocation which demands our full strength and gives release to our vital energies, under the dominance of an overmastering spiritual ideal, we cannot live. One of the tragedies of this confused age is that so many lose their way, failing to find or give themselves to a real purpose, and are doomed to an unfulfilled, thwarted, starved condition wherein life becomes mere existence. Vocation brings the only true freedom. Too often we think of the Religious, or the Clergy, as having a "vocation”, or a "call", while we assume that men in other walks of life may safely trust themselves to the compulsion of some lesser motive in the choice and accomplishment of their tasks. That is a lie! There is no walk of life to which God is indifferent. No woman, for instance, should enter upon either a business or professional career, or upon the master occupation of home-builder, without a sense of vocation, that is, a deep-rooted conviction that for her, taking into account her personal qualifications, education, existing responsibilities, needs and oppor­ tunities, it is the way of life to which God directs. The joy of living must be found in your work, in your profession, in your home—not in the peripheral, or outside’ activities. Only as within the serious endeavor of your life you find full scope for your interest and energy, full oppor­ tunity for growth in character and purpose, will you know the joy of fulfilled vocation in the life abundant for which your education has been laying some part. The Rev. Richard Flagg Ayres, Chaplain. five �IS ]i DEAN’S MESSAGE Gertrude Houk Fariss Dean Esther Christensen Walker Registrar To the Class of 1936: May you of the graduates class take with you from St. Helen s Hall junior college and retain through life an honest evaluation of words. May you recognize unkindness and injustice of speech and never mistake them for true wit, may you un­ mask snobbishness and never let it pose as innate dignity,- may you detect superficial knowledge and never accept it as genuine intelligence; may you recoil from narrowness and bigotry and never confuse them with real morality; may you despise intolerance and never regard it as perfect justice. In short, may these two years have brought you nearer the achievement of a great ideal of living— honesty and wisdom of thought. Gertrude Houk Fariss. $Ix b >: �..

Besides such a program as this, she was secretary of the Student Body and dished potato salad for the soph sales. LEOTA AKERS Leota, whose pink cheeks were the envy of all "rougers”, came to the Hall last fall from the University of Oregon. In her quietness and her lovely curly hair lay her charm,- she was a loyal mem­ ber of the class and whatever she was called on to do, she did well. HELEN BENNETT After a year at University of Oregon, Helen came to us in the fall of 35. Being an International Relations enthu­ siast she strove hard to make all the the club sales a big success. BARBARA BURRAS Babbie-of-the-pencil-in-the-hair is the past secretary of the Student Body, and present secretary of Delta Psi Omega, having played Cassandra in "Trojan Women " and Beth in "Little Women" right ably She burned the midnight oil and won membership in Alpha Mu Gamma and Writers Club.

Winner of the Nelson shield '35, she was also center on the basketball team '35 and '36, member of the Science Club and a diver of national fame. KATHLEEN HOYT The William Tell of the class, Kay hits the apple not only as an archer, but as a first rate cook, a scrumptious commit­ tee-woman, and sale getter-upper for the sophomore class She is usually found doing a Martha Graham for the Rec Room inmates.

She gets that "beautiful, oh beautiful" expression over Don Blanding’s poetry. JEAN LANGILLE Langille’s cheerful grin pepped up many school activities. Jean’s care of the Student Body treasury was as good as her basketball playing which is plenty good In her more scientific moments she feeds the Curie Club's Plenarian worms. DORIS LINCOLN Lincoln is famous to us as the joint pro­ prietor of the well-beloved College Club as well as the harrassed Business Manager of the Scintilla.

The successe did give me a pleasant glow like unto that after the college did win from the high school by the handsome score of 25 to 24. Having followed the games most particularly, I was interested to hear it publicly declared that Betty Joyce, captain, and Betty Henkle, Jean Langille, and Edith Kohlhase will all be given a second award.

Tennis Up and to worke and then spent all afternoon at the tennis court to watch the matches they do play thereon very earnestly these fine, warme days. They are ladder which does include almost every girl in college and so playing off furious do they play I am weake with excitement as to which of them will win. Interpretive DancingAfter lunch at my usual club I did stop in to witness through a window the flutterings of the lithe college maids. This new sport doth make me very merrie; they do say it falls under the head of interpretive dancing and is one of the more creative arts: it does create in me a certain disconcertment, to say the least. ■1 Archery Of an afternoon it mightily pleases me to see the girls practise the olde art of archery. It doth make me reminisce on Robin Hood when I watch Kay Hoyt and Hazel Dunham, the freshman representative, always shooting for the small black circle in the middle. I do think the blue much the prettier color. Deck Tennis After a harde day at the office I do enjoy watching the maidens on the grassy college lea taking on roundes of deck tennis. They, too, are playing off a ladder and do busily keep the miniature tire flying across the net for many an houre. Fencing Up and to spend a morning watching the merrie fencers clash foils, but learn they discontinued the ancient sporte at the beginning of spring term which seemeth to me a great pitie. nineteen — “ �; i li i: " 3:l a -!5ii!!'•, «« SHHJC • iil'-i ;■ :•»! : ii« BASKETBALL SCORES St. Helen's Hall High School .

Inside, there is wood burning crisply in the fireplace, and a clock ticking on the mantle, and a still red candle burning serenely near a bowl of green holly, thick-set with berries. Faraway, a piano is softly sounding yearning melancholy. The shadows thrown by the restless firelight are ever changing on the walls, with the holly boldly magnified, its pointed shadows held silent by the steady­ burning candle Softly, slowly, falls the rain,- slowly so as not to wake too soon the dormant trees whose branches even now are tingling with returning lile. Raindrops, falling on the grass, slip down to gently touch the sleeping crocus. Patter, patter — faster now the shower falls,- lower, lower burns the fire. The piano s aching melancholy has ceased and now there is only the gentle sparking of a dying fire. Dying slowly, yearning, pleading for more life. Yet no one heeds. The girl, dreaming there before the fire— dreaming of one so fair and strong the ebbing fire cannot hope to wake her. Can she not hear it calling? "I am dying! See, these last few flames cannot give light much longer. Girl, listen!” But no, only the candle hears, serene and proud, with the admiring holly crowd­ ing round. Ah yes, you must die, fire. But do not grieve, for you have fulfilled your life. These last few hours you have lulled the room till now it is asleep. Only the clock and the candle are yet alive. But peace. The candle will not see the dawn, and the clock has not warmed the hearts of men as you. Flame, you pant. Is it painful to die thus in the stillness? But think of other things—of the days when your green branches lashed the sky in an angry wind and sang in a dusky breeze. And was it not sweet to drink long of spring rain? Fire, you can no longer speak. Your last tired flame is dark, and yet you glow. Can you hear the rain falling now that you are still? Listen . . it is whispering something ... it is a whisper of returning life. Soon the yellow crocus will bloom, and the pink daphne will enchant the air with its sweetness. Aching embers, glowing softly, already I miss your cheerful flames. See how dark it is. The shadows are still and there is a coldness in the room. Glow gently, embers. See, I have stilled the clock, and presently I will blow out the proud candle and leave you unwatched to breathe your last. ■ —June von der Hellen. lh i rty-o n c ! )■ ■ . �«« SHHJC » » 5s Love Song of a Prudent Person I tried to bend the shadows when you left Into some form I dreamed might still be you; But cold winds rushing from your swiftness did not lie, And candles breathing hard announced it true. I could have followed, knowing your distrust Of those who fear the solitary room; I could have ventured hate, and thoughtless gone Running behind you in the welcome gloom Dark transient thoughts raged wildly in my brain But stormy impulse died. The morning sky Found me relaxed to pleasant sorrowing— Love seemed so much to risk for moment’s gain.

The play that had whispered to him while he watched her across the shining footlights from his dark seat out front. He wrote the play so that he might see her standing there, tall and fragile in a yellow frock enhanced by magic of lights. At last, he could see her as he had thought ol her for—oh, it seemed such a long time! There she was, her slender form half-turned from the audience as she gazed through the evening dusk at the lights of the city below. Leaning against the brown curtain with one slim hand holding the soft fold, she seemed to him a dream of beauty, something that his inner eye had pictured For a moment he was afraid this vision would vanish. But no, she was real It almost hurt him to trace the pale line ol her finely modeled profile. The pallor of the wide forehead, the soft sweep of the dusky lashes, the thoughtful curve of red lips—he etched them in his memory. Never could he forget. Now, slowly and with artistic grace, she turned to face the dull blue light, her dark hair swept simply back, free to curl near the smooth shoulders He noticed the corsage of jonquils nestled near the white throat, "God, she s lovely," he murmured as if in prayer. He didn’t care if the lights were fading as he looked at her face, for he remem­ bered each feature. He knew how her blue eyes looked when they were shadowed with sadness; the poignant sorrow that had filled them once had haunted him day and night. She pressed a tiny handkerchief against those expressive eyes,- she bent her head. Touched by the forlorn appearance of the figure on the stage, he watched her with wet eyes while the light changed to protective shadows that enclosed —Lillian Berg, ’37 her as the curtain fell.

Never before, in all his five years, had he been given a nickel all his own, to be spent as he pleased. Grandpa, to be sure, had given him pennies, one at a time,- and Dad had given him lots of nickels for the Sunday School collection. But to have one all his own! Toby squealed at the very thought till his plump cheeks tingled with anticipation . . . anticipation for a chocolate cat. He d wanted one for so long* No wonder Toby skipped, and Toby hopped with the lightness of thistledown buoyant on a summer breeze until finally he stood before the candy counter, his face imprinted with indecision. On the top shelf prance the chocolate cats . . . :ix in all . . their tails straight as broomsticks. And directly in front of them, to Toby’s amazement, marched six stalwart chocolate soldiers. For a moment, Toby’s "ruddy drop of manly blood" rose to the surface. "A chocolate soldier, please," he almost said- But a last-moment look at the prancing cats made him hesitate. Somehow, just thinking of his coveted cat, he grew lonely. Peter Tabbit, he was going to call it, because he had once had a chocolate Peter Rabbit. For a whole day Peter Tabbit was to sit on his dresser,- then the next day, with due solemnity, he would perform the sacrificial rite . . just as he had done with Peter Rabbit. A chocolate cat, please, he almost said, but another look at the chocolate soldiers stopped him. Did you wish something?" asked the clerk with tolerant amusement. Yes, began Toby, a chocolate . . - But the important word wouldn t come. ’Lo, Toby," came a cordial, provocatively giggling voice. Anne Dawson always managed to trail Toby in the candy shop, though she seldom bothered to find him elsewhere. Toby grunted Then he began ... as gallantly as a chocolate soldier . . Anne, would you buy a soldier or a chocolate cat? But, Toby," stammered the flattered Anne, much impressed, they re a nickel, aren’t they?" Yes," admitted the proud Toby, exhibiting his nickel.

Veronica is my wife/ and to put it mildly, she s deeply interested in the theatre. It was due to her efforts that a Little Theatre Movement was started in San Fernando, B. W I. She had good reason for being jittery this particular evening, because it was dress rehearsal for "Twelfth Night There s a time-worn tradition in the theatre that a bad dress rehearsal always means a good show, but even that old bromide couldn’t keep Veronica from worrying. Well, I finally got her calmed down enough to get her into the carriage along with all the costumes we had just finished dyeing and drying for the show, and off we went. Unfortunately, half-way up the last hill the traces broke and the carriage rolled sickeningly down-hill until it bumped into a wall. The coachman came bounding down from his box to ask for a piece of stout twine with which to mend the broken traces, but Nicky just smiled wanly and said she thought we d walk. So off we trudged into the tropic night, the two of us, loaded down with farthingales, stiff, heavy costumes, boxes of shoe-buckles, and more than a few of those absolutely unmanageable, wired lace collars that belonged to the costumes of the ladies-in-waiting. It seemed as if we walked endless miles through the dark, oppressive night before we finally reached the lighted lawn in front of Government House The set was in place, and Mr. Titmouse (pronounced Tims) was fiddling with the lights when we came up. Mr. Titmouse is the director of the San Fernando Players, and one of Nicky’s proteges. As I looked up at him just then, standing in front of the switchboard in his paint-smeared yellow smock, intently poking switches on and off, he looked awfully funny,- and for all I was so hot and tired, I couldn’t help smiling. At that moment, his professional dignity was nil. There was a smudge of red grease paint across his temple and a tuft of crepe hair clung to his damp cheek,- his hair hung limp and lank from a never-before-noticed centre part, and he was busily engaged snapping switches with one hand and swatting mosquitoes with the other. H i'ii '\4 -r;.' 155 << ;• Well, the moment Mr. Titmouse saw us, he made a dash in our direction and hurried Nicky off to the make-up tent. There was nothing for me to do but stand in the middle of the stage and call loudly for Props to come and relieve me of my burden. Then I collapsed thankfully on a bench and closed my eyes for one little minute I was just beginning to enjoy this well-earned relaxation when Nicky called me to help with make-up. (They had told me that was an easy job,- and, because, as Veronica’s husband, I was expected to help some­ where, I had decided to do make-ups.) From then on, for the next hour and ten minutes, I didn’t have a moment to myself. The tent was filled with a babble of voices. Everybody was pushing and shoving.

It stuck all right when I got through with it. It seems he wore most of it to bed that night. At last everyone was dressed and made-up, and rehearsal began. As always happens, people went up on lines in the most unexpected places. Even at this late date, Mrs. Hearn was still calling for, "Line ”, and saying quite loudly when she couldn't remember, "Oh, fish1" And young Keith Kirby was still snapping his fingers and saying, Ah—er, Ah—er," when his cue came for his important plot speech in Act II. But it was Kitty Leighton who really got Nicky worried. Kitty had been holding script off-stage during the show, and came on in the last act, unconscious of the prompt book in her hand, and with a package of cigarettes tucked in the bosom of her low-necked Elizabethan frock. She’s just as apt as not to do that tomorrow night,’ wailed Nicky, as the curtains came jerkily together, "and if she does, I’ll just die! Before I could offer a comforting tweed shoulder to cry on, Mrs. Hearn appeared under the lights in a pale gold satin formal that accented most alarmingly the unusual purplish colour of her arms and back For an instant I was too shocked to comprehend quite what was the matter, and then I suddenly realized that the dye had come off the costume because of the rather more than usual heat. Nicky should have told me beforehand to set the colour in salt baths instead of berating me then and there in front of everybody. Mr. Titmouse happened along just in lime to prevent a scene,- and though I can t seem to like the fellow, try as I will, I must admit it was thanks to him, we got Nicky home before anything else happened. The last thing I remember was sitting down on the stairs to unlace my shoes. —Barbara Burras. thirly-sevcn �LVU'ICj Not very many years ago, the education of even the most highly privileged was comprised entirely of what is known as "pure knowledge". Theory was all- important/ the necessity for putting it into practise was overlooked. We of today are wiser. One of our contemporaries has defined education as "learning how to live". We realize the futility of knowledge without usefulness. Behnke-Walker College was organized by the former president of a cultural institution, for the pur­ pose of fitting modern young people for modern living. Its Secretarial and Accounting courses, inex­ pensive because they are completed in a short time, fulfill exactly the requirements of todays business world. Behnke-Walker is unique in that it not only places its graduates, but maintains a re-placement service for those who later find themselves without positions. As an opening wedge for your career or as insur­ ance against an uncertain future, thorough business training is indispensable to you. Don t try to live in yesterday’s world.

Now we reverse that order and look backward, and what we sec in the last two years is a mixture of happiness, new faces, new experiences, hard work, strong friendships, and knowledge that will last us the rest of our lives. * i it i _y s Junior colleges are rather different in the world of education. \ hey have not yet come to be regarded as a necessity in the lives of young people. Schools for girls alone are not within the realm of every young woman’s experience. We have had the joy of having both properties in one institution. Here we have had the opportunity to establish new contacts, to develop in ourselves hidden abilities, to see before us that glimmering light of happiness. Some give that happiness the form of a career, fame, and all the glitter that accompanies it. They have tried to develop the abilities they command in the direction of that image. Others see in happiness a home, comfortable and contented. We all have had a different idea to work out in our search for knowledge, and we all have found the enthusiastic aid and support we needed to further our ambitions in the persons of our instructors and all those who surrounded us. We looked forward when we came. Now we are leaving, and we look back­ ward for a moment, feeling in our hearts a great thanks that we cannot audibly express. We still have our image before us, and now we have started—all of us —on the road to its attainment.

Glut^iAcUnX MeAsbcuje s In the face of an increasing tendency to rely upon the passage of new laws or rlie submission of the affairs of our daily lives to the control of national govern­ ments in order that we may achieve security and comfort, it is well to be re­ minded of the warning uttered over a century ago by William Ellery Charming: .! "It is idle to hope, by our short-sighted contrivances, to insure to a people a happiness which their own character has not earned. 1 he everlasting laws of God’s government we cannot repeal; and parch­ ment constitutions, however wise, will prove no shelter from the ret­ ributions which fall on a degraded community. i The foundations of national well-being lie deep in the character of her citi­ zens. Social environment does, indeed, condition for better or for worse the development of personality. Hut of far greater importance is the fact that the character of our social institutions depends absolutely upon the quality of their individual members. Fundamentally, Freedom and Justice are spiritual qualities, and their con­ tinued existence as ruling elements in our social life depends upon the spiritual maturity of our men and women. The great challenge which faces our educa­ tional system today is not that of presenting new “solutions” to the “problems of modern life.” The great challenge today is that of furnishing citizens of worth to our world civilization, and this can be done only as all of the latent possi­ bilities of human nature arc drawn forth and given opportunity for development in youth. Physical health and mental alertness must be founded upon spiritual freedom—a freedom which comes of a knowledge of the Divine Law of Life— if we are to have characters which will enable us to take our part in a worldorder which demands new resources of power and light if it is not to be reduced to chaos.

Far back in the trees is a scene of breathless calm. In a small clearing rests a silent lake, whose depths are unfathomed, a mirror of nature, where trees and flowers bend over the edge to see their reflections. Now there is a stretch of open countryside with green hills ol varied shades in the distance guarding the valley. It starts to rain. A river floods its way with drum-like rhythm, and there is more rhythm in the pelting drops falling into it. Suddenly, startlingly, a cliff looms in the path, and beyond it the surge of the mighty ocean stretches to meet the horizon. T he rhythm is still there, but the rain has lessened to a mist. The sun appears, and through the mist a giant rainbow blazes an arc across the sky, its colors vividly flaming against the hills. The rain stops entirely, and the sky is clear. The ocean carries on the rhythm, but it is calm now—regular, like breathing. The waves sparkle as they rise to their full height and then dash themselves to pieces on the sands. We feel the power of the ocean. We have pulsed to the rhythm of the waters. We have sensed a mystery in our souls like that of the forest pool. And now we have heard the plaintive, groping, wonderful melody of life—picked up and carried on forever in the symphony of the waters. Nature has thus provided the theme for this book—the story ot mankind in water. The Editor ( �= = Esther Christensen Walker Registrar Gertrude Honk Faiiss Dean MeMx+tfe To the Class of 1937 : Constructive and purposeful living demands, as civilization advances, a con­ stantly greater breadth of interests. If during these years at St. Helens Hall junior college there have opened to you new vistas and broader concepts; if you have developed the ability to accept the challenges of a changing world with unprejudiced consideration, with searching examination, and with honest evalu­ ation—then indeed you have availed yourself of the most far reaching benefits that education has to offer. It is the hope and conviction of those who have shared with you these educational experiences that during the years to come your understanding will become ever deeper, your judgments increasingly tolcrant, your thinking less hampered by the shackles of prejudice and inertia, and your ideals of living more completely realized. —Gertrude Houk Fariss i 7 if �Alice M.

T he class, which was organized on Wednesday, January 20. elected Ruth I ollenaar as their president and swung into immediate action, selecting the class gift, a radio for the recreation room, and sponsoring an amazingly successful bridge tea. Deloisc Wester, chairman of the committee for the tea. which was held on April 17 and featured a s tyle show, with students modeling home-made dresses, was largely responsible for the success of the venture. On October 30, the Pumpkin Frolic, first dance of the season, was held in the St. Helen’s Hall auditorium, with decorations and programs in keeping with the Hallowe’en spirit. Ruth Kascr, Camilla Flower, Sally Guthrie, Jane Wisdom, and Irene Hoover were members of tin* committee. Large Thanksgiving day and Christmas baskets, containing jelly, fruit and vegetables were sent to needy families, while the college made generous gifts to both the Red Cross and the Community Chest. Vivian livers headed a committee which sponsored one of many amusing get-togethers on Wednesday, November 18. A WPA Christmas play, presented on December 9. put the college into the true vuletide spirit before the welcome vacation. The Christmas formal, with Lois Sylvester as chairman of the committee, was held on December 18, at Wavcrly Country club. Sally Guthrie, sophomore president of the newly organized Athletic associa­ tion, made a straight A record in her first term’s work, leading the whole school. Miss Guthrie made 48 grade points for 16 hours. The International Relations club, one of the largest in the school, sponsored a vaudeville on January 29 to raise funds to send delegates to the conference in Victoria, 11. C. An unexpected vacation of two days came to all the students of the college when an energetic snow storm imprisoned all Portland. Mildred Roberts, a high school graduate of 1929, presented several violin selections in one of the most impressive assemblies of the year, Miss Roberts declared that this was the loveliest concert of her whole year. Maryalice Burnham, Margaret Hinkle, Katherine Waldron, brands kobison , Marjorie Hunter, Barbara Minahan, and Judith Oswald represented the junior college at the International Relations club conference in Victoria. B. C., and reported many of the things they heard and saw to the interested students left at home. The spring informal was held I'ridav, April 16, in the school auditorium, with Vilate Tackett as chairman of the committee. Jean Shown, sophomore, and Betty Day, freshman, won the prizes offered by* Beta Phi Gamma, national journalism honorary, for the most attractive dresses on their Cotton day, April 7. The third annual Willamette Valley Student Science conference was held at St. Helen’s Hall junior college on Saturday, April 24, with Alberta Vaillancourt, president of the Science club, as general chairman.

The club has proved invaluable for those in composition classes who take their work more seriously, and for those no longer taking courses in creative writing who wish to write more frequently. 23 7: s & V; r �Dodd.

H| Ir. : $ / ► \ Every June since the first college commencement in 1934. an increasingly large number of names has been added to the list of graduates of St. Helen’s Hall junior college. Some of these girls have remained graduates; others have enjoyed the privilege of becoming alumnae. The distinction is a real one. 1 he graduate accepts her diploma and departs from the school, and her only claim to the institution is that diploma and the right of recollection. The alumna, however, remains to cooperate with the undergraduates and to participate in their acivities and in the future of the school. The Junior College Alumnae association, today representing the loyalty of five graduating classes, has from its inception been organized for a definite pur­ pose—namely, quoting from the constitution, that of “keeping intact the associa­ tions and ideals of the junior college and cooperating with the active junior college and its sponsors.” This purpose can be fulfilled only as long as grad­ uating students continue to add their support and to work cooperatively with the organization. ' v r i = - Sr ills ii And so, confident of the strength that the members of this class of June, 1937, will bring, the Association welcomes them, not as graduates, but as Alumnae of St. Helen’s Hall junior college. i 5 i I lit I .

Why is ir that rain gives one such a lost feeling? Lite just couldn’t be as f Tightening as rain—a clammy blanket smothering your soul with only glimpses of other bent figures through the fog. The wood of this old building smells so wormy and moldy. Mr. Feldstcin has put up his awning. We used to have storm windows before— She stood in the doorway in her fall hat and coat, trying to look as though they were her regular winter garb. Of course she had had better looking ones before the —. Oh, there was someone else coming out of the wet. She hoped he wouldn’t say anything, because she just couldn’t trust her voice when her teeth were chattering so. The newcomer glanced at the first tenant without obvious interest and tried to hide the mended place in his overcoat where he had torn it pushing his fists down so hard. He took off his hat to shake away the rain drops and hurriedly put it back on so she wouldn't see last year’s rainspots on the band. Rain is something like night. The most mysterious and most meaningfully hidden things happen at night. Lvery thief and every lover waits for night to hide him and his indulgence. Rain is something like that; it obscures the view and distorts everything caught in its net. She drew her thin coat around her, suppressing a shudder, tugged her sagging hat to a more becoming angle, and pulled out a moist tendril of hair that was clinging wretchedly to her neck. She saw him look at her with preoccupation and guessed that he was mentally fingering the sparsely scattered coins in his pocket. The wheeze of a hand-organ blew in upon them with a fresh gust of wind and rain, and following it came an old man, just as soaked and as wheezing as his organ. The letters on the card held around his hat by a rubber band were The running into one another until you had to guess that they spelled “blind, old fellow shuffled along, now and then pushed by a thoughtless passerby who murmured a hurried “Oh. sorry,” and rushed on to get shelter from the damp­ ness, She couldn’t hear him say anything until he reached the corner of the doorway and stepped in, as if from habit. She moved lightly out of his way and heard his quavering lament, “Help the blind. Help the blind.” She looked quickly at her neighbor and found him staring at the old man. but he quickly lifted his gaze to her face, and she saw that he had discovered something. There was renewed hope in his eyes. He thrust his hand savagely into his pocket and brought out three small coins, dropped two of them into the tin cup attached to the wheezing organ, and put the third back in his pocket. She watched this display of brotherhood, shifting her worn purse from one hand to the other. After a minute she determinedly opened it and placed all its contents in the cup except a dime, which she held gingerly up to view. Then she smiled warmly. “Enough for coffee and doughnuts,” he answered her thoughts aloud, and they stepped out into the rain. Two shadowy figures—together. Rosemary Hintzen i ’ ■i <1 a:; !l- •T ; ■ iff > . ! 31 . I - . t; �[\eJl Mestuvuf, Spring is all deceitful promise. It whispers greenly, “Courage!"

Vivian Byers A Gaum Acjxzi+iA£ GoIoa The small, untidy boy ushered me into a room, evidently the “company parlor, to await the arrival of the lady of the house, Having stood for some moments in the somber hallway, 1 was dazzled by the long, bright shafts of sun­ light striking through the tall windows. As my eyes gradually accustomed themselves to the light, I became slowly aware of an uneasy feeling, a sense ot turmoil and restlessness which seemed to emanate from every object in the room. At last, in full possession of my visual senses, 1 looked about. \ iolent clashes of color burst upon me as if they had been blows. Glaring yellows, bilious greens, garish reds in raucous combination, In one corner the harsh tile shade of a chintz-covered Morris chair was engaged in mortal combat against the sensuous purple of a large, velvet foot stool, On the wall at mv right the delicate pastels of a spring landscape struggled feebly in a losing fight against the great dark red expanse of the plush sofa directly beneath it. My eyes darted nervously about seeking some relief for my offended senses. Each glance brought a further shuddering recoil. Blotched blue drapes which the sun had faded unevenly, a flashy orange lampshade, a fat black pillow with tarnished gold spangles, another chair in soiled peacock-blue. Everywhere jar­ ring discord. The large rug of sickly green with gaudy splashes of color con­ tributed to the general giddiness of the whole room. In sheer desperation I closed my aching eyes to shut off this agonizing conflict of color. Marjorie Havely 32 �I . i. ... I li rec bottles on the counter brittle and white as shattered tears turned up their glassy noses. "Something in perfume— for me." Tapering fingers drew the stopper. A stripling moon like a saffron bubble arose. "A little too gay for me." From the second, veils of silken loveliness in fragrant folds caressing her. Wraiths of mystic blondncss—“not Gardenia for me.” Pomegranate moons and smoldering camel chips poured from the slender mouth in voluptuous curls of smoke— “for me?” An awful moment of seduction— tempting, aromatic essence to cloak her in its cloudy glamour— “Hut with these ankles— For me?” Her voice grew hard. The dull weight of existence fell heavy upon her. “Lavender again— for me.” Marjorie Hunter *1 ]\\ . Through the delicate web of the alabaster birch floated wisps of cloud crystals. Green water, swirling a rapid around the mossy rock, broke the cool, green silence with a splash of foaming white. Eileen Smith ; V, :.l I ■ ; •. '* :r i 33 �^bosneAtic ^nmiJUeA “Say, maybe I’d better take blind dates all the time!” 1 breathed as the raven-locked bit of femininity opened the door. She was awfully easy on the eyes—looked something like me. 1 mean that her hair and eyes were black too, only, naturally, her physique was a trifle more dainty and feminine than mine. but it still had about the same good proportions, And she was, l should say. about three or four years younger than 1. Her shiny hair was combed in those funny little sausages, kinda floppy, when she laughed, and her eyes were as big and as round as a football—basketball maybe. I’m always afraid of getting stuck on a blind date with one of those per­ sonality girls—you know—not so good looking, but, oh boy, what a personality! But this dream of nature was really O.k. For once I didn’t have to wait while my date powdered her nose and put on more lipstick. Her nose wasn’t shiny, and she didn’t wear lipstick, so she was ready on time. 1 told her, as 1 helped her with her coat, that she’d bowl ’em over at the dance in that natty outfit. She thanked me, and we started out the door. “By the way, I’m Chuck Morgan, and you’re Carol Day. aren’t you? I started. Carol nodded and added a gay Hello, Chuck!" “Uh . . . nice weather, isn’t it? Well—do—do you like football? 1 asked, wanting her to inquire about my past as a football hero. “Oh, do tell me all about your wonderful experiences as star fullback. Please. You arc the great player, aren’t you?” Carol murmured, gazing up at me with starry eyes. Now I’m not one to like all this hooey about inflating a man’s ego to get him. but she was different. She was just interested in me— just wanted to know about me. That’s natural, isn’t it? No fooling, Carol wasn’t like the rest of all those clinging vines. She was all right. I could really care for her. “Well, I play a little—’ “Hev, Chuck, how about a dance with your kid sister?" hailed a pudgy youngster from the stag lines. “She’s no relation, and, anyway, you’re too young, kid.” 1 replied, as a beefy blond planted her spike heel on my favorite corn. “All right, I’ll wait,” he assured me, while dodging a vicious elbow. “You do that little thing, son, and come around next season.” About midnight I was getting pretty tired of hauling around all the janes whose fellows wanted to dance with Carol. Some men like to take out popular girls (ones whom they won’t get stuck with), but this business of my dancing with my own date only three times was just too much, or too little. I decided for Carol that we didn’t sec that couple beckoning to us, so 1 shoved her out to the lawn. I suppose that no really nice couple would show any demonstrativeness or af­ fection toward each other when they were out on a blind date, but, after all, 34 �I = ' - can 1 help it if we just seemed to click from the very start? There is such a thing as love at first sight, you know. And besides, she told me that she was an orphan, the same as I am, and, being alone in the world, she needed the pro­ tection that I could give her. So, as I always said, “Never fail to help a lady in distress!” Mr. and Mrs. Harrison McKcllar request the honor of your presence at the marriage of Carol Day to Mr. Chandler Morgan on the afternoon of Friday the thirteenth of January one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six at four o’clock First Presbyterian Church Santa Barbara. California Carol certainly looked divine in that halo of gardenias, and the veil of her wedding gown added just the right touch of virginity. 1 here was a deafening silence as the minister requested in unvarying tones, “let him speak now or forever hold his peace.” Just as I stole a side glance at my beautiful bride-to-be, to my horror 1 heard a woman’s voice say, “I object to this marriage.” Who was this to break up my wedding? Why should she— Then 1 saw the object of my anger. She was a good-looking, dark-haired woman, who looked like both Carol and me, and she walked briskly up to the chancel, where we were standing. She stated clearly to the minister and to the congregation the fact that she was married twice, having a boy by her first husband and a girl by the second. Carol and 1 were brother and sister! Eileen Smith * PecJ&b Our mountain, at sundown, outlined in white against the deepening azure sky, seemed far away. Warm snow, partially covering brown rock, became rosy with the fleeting sunlight. The symmetric beauty came to a peak beneath the dripping, silver edges of a horizontal cloud. The mountain, closer now in the twilight, sleeps under a dead white blanket of cold snow, and its lava is as soft as brown velvet. A halo of clouds encases the top in a billowy ruffle, and the full moon, a veritable pearl, sails slow v above the cloudy sea. Eileen Smith i= 35 ... �I J!.e£ Me 5bie Ijo-u+Uf Life is sweet now. It fills my singing heart to overflowing. Oh. gladly could I sip of death's tart cup and, smiling, die While happiness is mine. If, by some mystic formula long sought, time could be lettered And present gladness never end or change or sorrow come, Then would 1 live always. But all must change. Our separate destinies prod, prick us on— So, lest my own unwilling feet find future tragedy, O Lord, let me die young. Vivian Byers Cjande+t QoJA a*ul Silver Gold Even the sun dial blinked in the steady glare of the August day. Under the fitful shade of the lily pads the pool dozed, tepid and murky. A limp weeping willow slumped over its left bank, dripping its leaves into the water as if vainly trying to mop its brow. Underneath a wilted and feverish rose bush a fat snake sunned himself—alone of all the garden content in the waves of heat. Silver The frost had encased the willow’s last leaves in shining silver armor. The breeze puffed across the pond, raising white ruffles on its polished surface and making it lap monotonously at the bank. 1 he moon was serene—as young and graceful as a white butterfly. The garden was lost in its stillness, enchanted in its pale magic. And over it all—the trees, the bushes, and the pool—the moon trailed pencils of light. Marjorie Hunter 36 �I f There is a domestic strain in my soul which is never at rest away from a kitchen. This side of my character had been entirely overlooked by Betty, judging by the dubious tone in which she accepted my invitation to a dinner pre­ pared by my own soft hands. “I’ll show her,” I said to me, brandishing a tea towel and an enormous butch­ er knife. “She shall live to eat her words—and my dinner!” When her brisk knock re-echoed triumphantly through the kitchen, I was de­ bating whether to strain the butterscotch pudding or to serve its Titanic lumps as dumplings with the roast chicken, Misgivings crept into my mind. Perhaps, considering the fact that I had never before made a pudding, and had only exciting conjectures on what goes into one. I should have used a recipe. I hid one scorched pan in the oven and went to the door. “Come right in. Dinner will be on any minute now, I’ve practically finished the dessert already.” Perhaps it w as the faint perfume of burned sugar which made her skeptical. She raised one eyebrow slightly and looked significantly at the clock. "Now sit right down on the davenport and study. I'll call you when—” but with her eyebrow still lifted she followed me to the kitchen, The scene told its own tragic story. Dishes and pots and gummy spoons mutely called down upon me a maternal vengeance. A poor, white egg, beaten unmercifully, lay in the electric mixer; a half of roast chicken rested dismally cold on the drainboard; and the butterscotch lumps boiled merrily on the stove. Something suspiciously like a twinkle played in Betty’s eyes. She stood in the doorway for an hour and a half watching the weary trek of the chicken from pan to pan, the cruel fate of the potatoes as they sank to a disheartened watery substance, and their later resurrection as a mashed delicacy, the peas scalding in a blackened pan, and the final union of the butterscotch and the martyred egg. But the dinner broke Betty’s silence. It was delicious—1 might even venture to term it a masterpiece. “I might have complimented you if I hadn’t seen the procedure backstage,” said Betty dryly. With a philosophic shrug I answered, “The difference between a good cook and a bad one is a matter of privacy. ’ N Marjorie Hunter 'The petals arc angels’ tears which have fallen, some upon the boughs, some upon the grass beneath. The fairies painted them the hue found only in the heart of a shell where the roar of the sea yet lingers. Marjorie Hunter \7 f • i �Succe&i Success is a word with many meanings. To some it spells fame, having one’s name constantly before the public. Some call it the state of perfect service, rendering valuable aid to others. Many reckon it strictly in dollars and cents. Fame comes to the individual who gives self-confident and inspiring leader­ ship to others. That person who has learned the art of serving competently and quickly has attained the state of perfect usefulness. Dollars and cents will be the property of the self-assured man or woman who performs his duties cor­ rectly, with an air of self-confidence that brings him to the attention of those who are always watching for the best in executive material. "Vou can find the path to your particular idea of success by individual train­ ing given inexpensively and expertly by Behnke-Walker College. The business world is composed of leaders and followers—leaders are success­ ful. Everyone starts life at the bottom of the hill of success. The point is, will everyone climb continuously, taking each step upward completely prepared for his steady progress, or will he be satisfied to stop at this station, or the next one down? Leaders are prepared for the top, and when they reach it, they have attained success. Are you going to be a leader or a follower? Rosemary Hintzen t j n �’ i' * ! ?

A ✓ PORTLAND, ORTGON �II Fo r e wo r d The traditions of St. Helen s Hall Junior College have been carefully developed and strengthened in the six years of its existence as a separate entity from St. Helen’s Hall. We who are now attending the junior college must realize how great a part is ours in making these traditions permanent for future years and generations of students. Each of us has made some contribution, great or small, to her school,- and each has gained from the school, aside from education, certain I qualities arising from the environment and that essence of being that IS the Hall. We present to you, through the Scintilla for 1938, not only the memory of the past year, but also the inspiration of a school in which are found those gifts so greatly to be cherished — lasting friendships, enriching experiences, and 1 if ennobling traditions — of St. Helen’s Hall Junior College. i H i :■) |:'S 8 I ! I I I �.1 THE REVEREND RICHARD FLAGG AYRES Victorious Living Life may be either endured or lived. The choice lies with us. Broadly speaking, you may distinguish two classes of men and women in the world by the way in which they have met this test. On the one hand you have those who simply drag through life, as though the burdens and tasks which have been placed upon them were impositions of an unkind Fate to be borne, but neither used nor enjoyed. On the other hand, you have those who, while bearing equally great burdens and faced with still more difficult tasks, carry themselves erect and march forward with cheerfulness. These latter have found the key to victorious living. An education is not adequate unless it places us in possession of the means, in terms both of skills and of renewing strength, for triumphant living. That is one reason why the Christian Church has an especial interest in education. Our developed mental, emotional and physical powers must be brought into a dynamic relationship with the sources of spiritual power if we are to attain true maturity. The key to what we have called victorious living is very simply given by St. Paul, where in writing to the Colossians, he admonishes them with these words, 'Whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks unto God the Father through Him.” That brings us right to the problem. Just in so far as we bring our words and deeds in subjection to the standard of Christs character and teaching will we receive strength to advance further in His likeness. It is the only standard which will meet all tests, and in accepting it, and translating it into terms of daily living, we find our defeats turned into victories, our fail ures into successes, our obstacles into opportunities. Moral allegiance to Jesus of Nazareth is the condition of LIVING, rather than ENDURING life. RICHARD FLAGG AYRES, Chaplain.

Daily it arose from the waters of the pool, gradually awakening to the caresses of sun and wind and rain. One morning we found its rounded petals slowly unfolding—blooming in answer to nature’s constant care. We watched, fascinated by the lily’s maturing, radiant beauty. Then other blossoms came out to join it in a symphony of white,- and we rejoiced in their calm, sweet light and pure simplicity. Let the lily be a symbol of Life—its rise from the waters of its source our upward climb from childhood to adulthood; its sun and wind and rain our parental guidance, learning, and experiences, its white petals, unfolding, the revelation to us of Life in its fuller and deeper meaning,- and its glowing heart the serenity and radiance of a Life, a Knowledge, and a Sympathy which can serve as inspiration to others: Let Life’s ever-striving toward perfection be the theme of this book. !•) ! : 5 ■ i i .. i i -i..i ■ i i Mi . i i EDITOR �) I l 9 , �Forlorn and white, Whorls of purity about a golden chalice . . .

Now may you translate that which you have learned and that which you will learn into that which you do ! May you have learned chiefly the urgent necessity today and every day for freedom from dogmatism, for moderation in political action, and for avoid­ ance of sweeping emotional abstractions. Only the weak take refuge in sentimentalism and cynicism; the strong cleave to thoughtful evaluation. May you keep always an open mind, free of prejudice and intolerance, eager for growth and progress, and so carry with you the realization that much that will be fact in the future has yet to be born.

Opportunity and experience is offered to those students who are interested in journalistic work, and very often various students are Ml given assignments to interview some very outstanding people. During this year, members of the Hall Tree Staff were given the opportunity of interviewing such people as Lanny Ross, Nelson Eddy, John Charles Thomas, and Helen Hayes.

Iu »• ■ I! • i For over one hundred and fifty years there has been a steady progression in all fields of artistic endeavor toward effecting perfect balance and relationship between the physiological and psychological in art In the field of acting, it is generally recognized today that the Russian Moscow Art Theatre, under the direction of Constantin Stan­ islavsky, has nearly perfected an artistic technique based upon this combination of the physiological and psychological. �. I •• • '• . 'i The late Richard Boleslavsky, one of Hollywood’s distinguished directors, was trained by Stanislavsky in the ‘new theory” of the Russian Theatre, as was Madame Maria Ouspenskaya, head of a nationally famous school of the theatre; and it was these two who first introduced the Stanislavsky system to America in their American Laboratory Theatre. Stanislavsky’s system, which has been building for years, is now - spreading through the theatres of the world, and it is turning out well-equipped young people who will be the actors of tomorrow. Stanislavsky bases his theory upon the assumption that art is produced through the medium of a ‘ creative mood”,- and in the theatre, where it is necessary that art = must be constantly forthcoming and not dependent upon temperament alone, technical means must be found for the creation of the mood itself. The mood is not artificially created but is invited by teaching the actor to open his mind and body to it and thus to become himself a receptacle for inspiration. The important elements in such training involve the instruments of the actor,- his body, mind, voice, and sense-percep­ tions. He must be able to control his every motion and emotion. Muscular freedom is required, as are concentration, development of imagination, effective memory, use of vicarious experiences and of symbolism. Class work is based largely upon improvisations, or having the students themselves build spontaneously upon a set of situations, in given characters. At least once a week, they abandon improvisations for preparing and presenting scenes from actual plays, They use neither stage properties nor costumes for these scenes, but must establish ; these things, as well as atmosphere or setting, solely by their acting. i* Different styles of plays require altogether different styles of acting. There is a vast difference in the style which must be used for a Shakespearian play and that which must be used for Ibsen or Chekov or a modern American or English play. After a semester s work in "the new theory,” the Technique of Acting class presented an invitational “experimental evening of drama.’’ The evening was a demon­ stration of the different steps of progress as they are given to the students in class. The evening s program began with improvisations followed by scenes presented exactly as they would be given in class, the improvisation being unplanned and un­ rehearsed, the scenes being previously prepared by the students, but given without properties or costumes. It ended with two one-act plays, an American comedy and an Irish fantasy. 6H ��4 B I X �I •r ••S' I ."•:v 11 1 Ilf ! 7; ! t : ■ . •I ■ ; : ; I! 1 ! ji ■: •: Dates That Count September 11 get-together which climaxed Freshman Week.

Purple clouds massed themselves into shapes like the turrets of some fantastic palace, airsuspended over the plain. And there, amid the lush meadows and silent marshes where f the grass seemed greener than ever before, Death walked alone. His great black wings trailed listlessly behind him, and his flaming sword swayed, untouched, beside him. About his bent head his yellow hair tossed wildly in the wind. And Death s eyes > were darkened by an unutterable sadness. As he walked, heeding not where he went, he thought, I am he who has brought the release of sleep to those who are tossed by the tempests of sorrow. I stand on the hills which are the rim of the world, and my outstretched wings blend with the night at either pole. My voice is the ceaseless booming of the sea, unwearing, unchanging, full of strength and unending vision. I am loved well, and well-hated, and there is no man or animal that has not heard my name And being immortal and tired of life, and very lonely, Death fell upon the drenched meadow and wept. t And when the rain had coiled up its stinging lash, and when the last peal of thunder had echoed and re-echoed within the distant ravines, the dark clouds fled to the north, and the sun returned. The grass soon dried, and the birds darted once more into the blue sky. And a very small brown rabbit hopped from under the hedgerow. and sniffed at Death’ s arm. Without lifting his head, Death whispered: Who s there? and the little rabbit answered: I am the rabbit who lives beneath the hawthorn tree. In spring, its fragrance floats down into the darkness where I sleep, and tickles my nose. And in winter, the silver rain flashes by my door and sings to me. And I am very happy. And because he had never had a place of refuge, or anything to sing to him, and because of his great loneliness, Death wept afresh. The little brown rabbit crept closer to Death and said: "Come with me, and we will dance through the long grass, and make wreaths of the little white daisies, and play with the new-born lambs. Come, stranger, and forget your sorrow. So Death and his friend walked together under the smiling sky; and the rabbit told Death of his warren under the hawthorn tree, and his large family where all his brothers and sisters resembled him, and of their picnics to the river s edge where they ate wild thyme, and of the little brown wife he should have someday. And he was so busy telling these things that he did not notice Death s silence. After they had spent the day in wandering and in conversation with the other wayfarers, Death and the rabbit returned to the hawthorn tree. And Death said: You who have walked by my side and spoken to me in friendship, do you know by what name men call me? Do you realize the fate of him who walks by my side? And the little rabbit looked at Death’s burning sword, and his great black wings, and then he stared into Death s eyes that had been given warmth and life by their deeds that day, and he answered: I have heard the sound of your wings as you followed the cruel hawk. Your shadow has fallen across the trembling creatures who are held by the snare; and in the reaches of the night, your song is taken up by the restless wolves. Some call you Death, stranger, but I call you Friend !” ANKEY LARRABEE �I : 1' Sonnet L» I : i'. ; ; i ■ 1 i .i } | When I shall cease to wonder; when the sight Of creamy blossoms flung in lacy spray Shall hold no mystery, no thrill; when night In its hushed peace shall to my heart convey No loveliness; when music s sweetest notes Shall rise in rolling chorus that swell in vain With fullest harmony from mellow throats; When I no more shall love a summer rain; When I shall find no awe in thrills that roll Into a golden sunset, and the sound Of beauty’s voice that whispers to man s soul Shall fall unheeded on my spirit bound / Oh then, if ever such a time shall be, God, let me die ! — not live in apathy.

VIRGINIA GLAZE A Bishops Nightmare B — Don Francesca is walking with the Bishop to the Duchess's lawn party. A Mr. Heard, I think it advisable that I tell you now. Perhaps you didn t know, but th people on this island are what one might call wards. So ah Good heavens ! You mean that they’re—” Well, yes They’re perfectly harmless, but I wouldn’t take them seriously. Just humor them. There is the duchess at the gate now." Oh, dear." The duchess immediately rushes up to the Bishop. "My good man, this is a fine time to come. My guests are already arriving and you, my butler, are not here to an­ nounce them. Hurry now. Go, I say,- don’t stand there staring, or I shall find a more competent servant." The Bishop looks bewildered'y at the priest, who nods. "You d better announce the guests, Mr. Heard. I’ll tell you who they are. Count Caloveglia is entering now. The Bishop sighs, glances around, and begins, "Count Caloveglia. The Count looks exasperated. butterflies." The Bishop is dumbfounded. Thomas, you didn’t mention my collection of But I came here to find a distant cousin, a Mrs. Meadows. Surely she isn’t touched, too. No one told me. Well, you see," the priest begins, "we have found that individuals affected in this way become normal when allowed to act as they please. Mrs. Meadows is well on the road to recovery, although appearances would not lead one to believe so. In fact, I think that is Mrs. Meadows and Denis coming now." Denis and Mrs. Meadows come skipping in, hand in hand. Mrs. Meadows is about thirty-five and wears a dress of Civil War fashion Denis, of about twenty, wears a tin can crown. Mrs. Meadows giggles, and pushes Denis against the Bishop, who quite unpre­ pared, falls backwards. Mrs. Meadows pounces on him. "Denis isn't a pretty king,” she states, "and so I’m going to put his crown on you." At this act, all bow very low to the astonished Bishop. "I brought you some flowers, Santa Claus," exclaims Denis, thrusting an empty hand at the Bishop. Thank you. They’re very beautiful." Do you want some more? I know where there’s a whole lot just like those. i ! �u Well—a, no. I think these will be quite enough, thank you. looks around for an escape.

O, your highness, I am sorry, indeed. I mistook you for my butler Yes, we shall have some refreshments.

"My dear Duchess, your pail has no bottom. ; \ I ID I O, yes, I know, but times are so hard these days,- and besides, if I hurry, I usually catch up. "I’ve just been here a we—ek ! I’ve just been here a we —ek,” sings Denis. "He’s been here longer than any,” the priest says, but each week he goes for a walk and when he comes back, he’s somebody else. Last week he was the Count s dog.” "Well, I’m glad there’s a boat back tomorrow. I’m not quite sure I really want to i talk to my cousin, now The Count jumps up and empties a glass of water on Mrs. Meadows for Saint Dodekamus, the patron saint of the place.” GlIINIVERE HALL t Koran In a desert gold and vellum Sleeps a paridisal garden, Marble fountains, silver-flowing In saffron-haunted courtyards, Shattered dewdrops’ crystal fragments 11-:!Z Dream upon the grasses S Like tears from dawn-felt sorrows. 5 J Dimmer than their shadows, palms Lift seeking spears to amber flames,And a silver echo overtone i Of wind-blown desert prayers Lingers with the plaintive wail, Allah, Allah, Allah JEANETTE HOSS !’ Hurrah �I? •• 1 f Achievement I ■ ■ The student sees his education as a door opening toward the realization of his dearest hopes, whatever they may be. The person who is facing the every-day realities of life does not become lost in the vaporings of philosophy and social idealism, though these elements in their normal proportion contribute to his orientation of himself with the world he finds. We cannot overlook the fact that education should also be regarded ds an investment in every sense of the business term. Dollars and cents and energies are laid out with the view of obtaining an income and other less material profit from our investment. Just as in the business world, we must so manage our investment that we can expect a reasonable return for our expenditure of money and energy with a minimum of risk. That is, we must look into the future possibilities of our chosen fields as far as we are able. Courses such as those offered by Behnke-Walker College best fulfill these demands for many people. This is proved by the achievements of the graduates of this college. Everyone has in the back of his mind either a definite or perhaps only a halfformed desire to achieve greatness in this lifetime, to do more than just live, rather to justify his purpose in living. Voltaire has said. I call those men great who have distinguished themselves in useful and constructive pursuits.’ Mediocrity is not the answer. Thus we have the tests which an education must measure up to if achievement of our desires is the goal: a business-like evaluation of material and spiritual returns, and the excellence of the record of its progress How do the plans for your education meet these tests?

This aspiration is admirably sum­ med up in words which are familiar to everyone who has worshipped at Mattins in the Junior College Chapel, where week by week we offer our prayers up unto One "Whose service is perfect freedom" The Collect for Peace, from which these words are taken, is one of the most venerable in our Book of Common Prayer, and has been in use among Eng­ lish Churchman since the days when St. Augustine brought the Latin Office to the British Isles in the sixth century. The trenchant phrase Cui servire regnare est, literally, "Whom to serve is to reign" was given a typically Anglo-Saxon turn when at the time of the English Reformation Thomas Cranmer translated it as "Whose service is perfect freedom", thus linking up man's natural urge for liberty with his fidelity to God's service. Christianity is not sentimentality. Not our desires, but God's laws, are the basis of our wellbeing. There are basic laws or principles of life and conduct which must be obeyed if we would attain our highest devel­ opment as human beings. Our education should enable us to attain some knowledge of these laws, and our religious life should help us direct our lives in accordance with them. We live most truly when our energies are devoted to the attainment of some high purpose The Chapel and the classroom to­ gether are the means by which we attain to a knowl­ edge of and devotion to Him whose Service is Perfect Freedom. —RICHARD FLAGG AYRES, B.

Twenty-one contestants vied for honors in the ping pong tournament, which was won by Adele Johnson. Runner-up was Frances Robertson. Volleyball began in November with two games scheduled, one between the sopho­ mores and the freshmen, won by the latter, 38-33; and an all-star college squad against the high school, which was won by the Hall girls, 37-28. Selma Zitzer, Marjorie Ruhndorf, Jane Reith, Adele Johnson, Barbara Hermann, Anne Hughes, Jane Othus, Yvonne Lofquist and Marjorie Nelson received volleyball letters. With the new year, basketball practices commenced and continued to March 1. The sophomores tasted bitter defeat of 41-6 from a strongly organized freshmen team. A combined college team was victorious 19-18 in a close combat with the Hall high school. In a return game the high school emerged vic­ torious with a score of 32-17. Reserves of both schools clashed, with the college losing. Basketball awards were presented to Katherine Thompson, Marjorie Winslow, Betty-Jo Shown, Barbara Compton, Laura Tanelle, Roberta Romig, Adele Johnson and Barbara Hermann. Spring filled the tennis and badminton courts with c: c: �=3 =3 ■ =3 ■ 3 PflmniSS mprni 1 life mi ?,€f by the advanced fencing class of Susannah Harding, Betty Coursen, Adele Johnson, Yasuko Tsuboi, Marjorie Famell and Jane Merriman.

This, the science honorary organization had as its most import­ ant activity the attending of the Willamette Valley Science conference at Corvallis in March. Reports of scientific experiments prepared by the Curie members, were presented by the official delegates, Frances Namba, Betty-Jo Shown, Kathryn Thompson, Maryann Long, and Dr. Alice Bahrs, advisor. Reports on the mineral activity of Oregon hot springs, speed of the digestion of hot and cold-blooded animals and correlation of height and weight with pulse rate before and after exercise were contributed by the club. The latter experiment report was given before the entire conference by Maryann Long. Main interest of the club is centered about the growth of science and the position of women in its development. Field trips were taken to Mt. Hood, Nelscott and Sandy river. c <= �I F O R U M J rl =1 =1 =1 1 '3 :a .3 ■3 31 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 FIRST BOW—B. Peterson, V. McNamee, F.

Projects included the purchasing and placing of an altar curtain and pole for the Japanese Episcopal Mission. During Christmas, a tree was decorated and presented to the mission. Altar linens were also made. Bandages were made and sent to the Hudson Strait Hospital at Fort Yukon, Alaska. The care of the college chapel was undertaken by Forum. Besides having various sales, members spent a week-end at Everglades during which time initiation of new members took place, and a trip to Mt. Hood for skiing was made in winter. �D E L T A P S I O M E G A STANDING (Left to Right)—J. Merriman, A. Jones, M Hintzon, C. Wolsh. SEATED (Left to Right)—B. Dewey, Mi3s C. Bowors, S. Harding !

Formation of the Understudy club for the first year students of dramatics was Delta Psi Omega's important project of the year. Stunt Night was presented by the club early in the fall, with three one-act plays, a romance, a comedy and a melodrama presented. Members of the Understudy club served refreshments during inter­ mission. In February seven girls were pledged for membership into this drama honorary. Every member of Delta Psi Omega took a major role in the sophomore production of "Jane Eyre". The year's subscription to the Theatre Arts Monthly was awarded to Dorthy Dicks. She was voted by Delta Psi Omega as the most out­ standing contributor of her service to the drama department. She has worked behind scenes on all drama activities which were presented throughout the year. She was commended highly for efficiency as property manager. �u N D E R S T U D Y C L U B FRONT ROW—Madeline Chin, Barbara Minor SECOND ROW—Dorothy Dicks, Leota Whitolock, Roberta Romig, Lillian Webb, Nadine Stevens.

At these meetings at the homes of the mem­ bers, the program is provided by a guest speaker whose talk is cen­ tered on different aspects of other nations. In the past year, members of Alpha Mu Gamma and its auxiliary have had the pleasure of hearing, among others, Miss Marian Morange, who recently took a bicycle trip through France; Mrs. Peterson, v/ho spoke on the Scandinavian countries and Miss Radka Ivanakava, who told of her recent trip to Bulgaria. As its service for the year, the club sponsored the annual Christ­ mas assembly with the Rev. Lansing E. Kempton as guest speaker.

The club entertained the Mothers' club both in the fall and in the spring, assisted in the program of the May Carnival, and appeared in a recital for Mrs. Hildenbrandt on May 12. Five selections were sung. Meeting once a week in the college chapel, the members have given their enthusiastic cooperation to an organization which they hope will become permanent at the Hall. �FIRST ROW—J. Allen, Mrs. L.

The club chose as its college service for the term, the sponsoring of an assembly speaker, Miss Dulcina Baird whose topic was interior decorating. Other activities included the making of programs and bids for college informal dances, and a trip to Mt. Hood for skiing. In the fall, a sport dance was held in conjunction with the Interna­ tional Relations club. �I FIRST ROW—B. Hermann, A. Johnson, M Ruhndorf, Miss N. Sorvice. SECOND ROW—P Akers, M.

Every member of the junior college student body is automatically a member of this organization. Sales were held to purchase minor equipment, such as ping pong paddles and balls. Letters for sports and pins and medals are purchased and awarded by the association. The largest undertaking is the tradi­ tional May carnival at which time, festivity reigns at the command of her royal highness. The queen this year was selected by strict ballot and the choice of the student body was Martha Lehman. Two years before, Martha's sister, Alda, was elected queen to rule over the Hall realm. �d H A L L T R E E C3 q □ cq Q a a □ □ c c FRONT ROW—C. Welsh. A. Colliver, D. Stephens, E. Goldborg.

The improvement and the development of the Hall Tree in form, style and copy this year has been most outstanding. Six printed bi­ monthly issues of a four column publication was printed under the editorship of Suma Tsuboi early in the year. The Hall Tree was pre­ pared and financed by the students on the editorial staff and the advertising staff. After the resignation of Suma Tsuboi, which came about through her election as editor of the year-book, the position was taken over by Adele Johnson. A two-column mimeographed Hall Tree was pre­ pared every two weeks by her staff for the rest of the term. No adver­ tisement was solicited for the mimeographed issues. tc C E : e e E E E E E E E E E E E E t t t �3 a 3 3 a 3 a a a 3 3 3 P R E S s c L U B 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 TRONT ROW--A. Colliver, B.

The purpose of the club is to further the interests of journalism at the junior college. The Press club developed through the efforts of the advanced reporting class. The annual Cottop day in May again brought out summer enthus­ iasts bedecked in many attractive cotton frocks which were made or purchased by the students. Lovely corsages and linen were pre­ sented to Mary Tipton, Esther Lenon, Virginia Sorenson, Madeline Chin and Doris Younger for their clothes.

Panel and round table discussions interspersed with social events constituted the eventful gathering. Suma Tsuboi, loan Hall, Martha Randall, Betty-Jo Shown from the Hall and Elizabeth Brown of Reed were panel discussion participants and round table chairmen. "Swing Session" with an international theme was sponsored by the club in conjunction with the Studio club in November. Jimmy King's eight-piece orchestra provided the "swing". Delegates to the Northwest Regional International Relations club conference of college students were Suma Tsuboi, Jeanne Miller, Betty-Jo Shown and Mr. Harold Botterell, advisor. The meet took place at the Central Washington College of Education at Ellensberg in March. Some of the speakers who talked to the group included, Rev. L. W. Lynne on the Munich agreement, and Dr. Yutaka Minakuchi, Japanese lecturer. Inauguration of the second-term officers took place in December at Nikko Sukiyaki House, during which time Dr. Minakuchi spoke. Aside from outside speakers panel discussions made up of club participants created many an active meeting.

We Owe The days have sped like meteors in flight, and yet it seems like eons since that day we stood on the threshold of a long-anticipated and thrilling adventure—participation in the life of St. Helen's Hall junior college. How experienced and awe-inspiring seemed the sophomores, greeting with shouts of exultation their friends, parted during summer vacations but now returned to the fold; with what trepidation we allowed ourselves to be herded into the library to take those fatefulsounding “aptitude tests". But the feeling of inferiority and loneliness that flooded us those first few days gradually receded. Classes settled into routine and firm friendships were made, not only with the girls in our rank of "greenhorn" but with sophomores who were found to be only human after all, and as anxious to know us as we were to know them. Yes, two years at the Hall have sped by, leaving poignant mem­ ories of those important occasions . . . the get-togethers . . .

I1 . i LITERARY . 1 • I �I I I 2 3 ; �I I I The Bull in the China Shoppe To the accompaniment of the solemn tock of the grandfather clock and the sotto-voiced tick of the cuckoo clock, Mr. Kindly took his coat down from the hook behind his desk and exchanged his little, black skull cap for a weather­ beaten fedora. He tottered slowly to the door of "Ye Olde China Shoppe," but, hand on knob, paused to take a last, fond look at his precious objects before going home for the night. On shelves all around the room reposed the treasures of his heart—mugs, plates, cups and saucers, figurines—every imaginable kind of china. He looked especially at his favorites in the window—a beautiful senorita in a scarlet gown of many ruffles and high mantilla of black lace, hold­ ing a dainty fan over which glowed her dark dancing eyes. Beside her was a handsome matador in his splendid costume of many colors trimmed in gold braid. In his hands he held a crimson cape which he waved at a massive bull which stood ready to charge, head lowered and forefoot pawing the ground. Mr. Kindly placed the senorita a little closer to the senor, then went outside, and, closing and locking the door, passed by the window and went on down the street. After his departure all was quiet except for the measured, rhythmic beat of the clocks. The hours passed—ten, eleven, and as the last stroke of twelve faded away, the breath of life passed through the tiny shop. All the pieces of china heaved sighes of relief as they stretched muscles cramped from their customary positions and prepared for another hour's revelry. While everyone looked on and clapped in rhythmic time, the German beer mugs danced a bumping, clumping jig, clanking the lids of their tankards up and down and knocking their sides against one another. The plates turned cart­ wheels and a green frog with bulging eyes played "Nqla" on a row of Haviland teacups. Everyone was having a grand time when who should appear, leaning on the arm of her handsome sweetheart, but the lovely senorita from the win­ dow. The pair had come to dance for their friends, and to the delight of their audience, they twirled and whirled with gay abandon, stamping their feet madly. As they finished the dance with a graceful sweep and bowed in acknowl­ edgment of the tumultuous applause, a fierce roar shook the entire room. With snorts and bellows, the bull came charging directly at the senorita. The senor grabbed his cape, and stepping in front of her, met the beast face to face. If everything had been left to his capable hands, all might have gone well, but, unfortunately, everyone came to his rescue. Teacups began sailing through the air and a fearful clatter arose as china hit mirrors, walls, and floor. And then—grandfather, remembering his duty just in time, struck one. There was a startled silence—then a mad dash for the familiar places on the shelves. When Mr. Kindly opened the door the next morning, a strange sight met his eyes. In the middle of the floor lay the remains of a badly smashed china bull and pieces from many other china objects. It was also strange that spouts were missing from pitchers and handles from teacups. Mr. Kindly walked to the window. There, despite wide rents in her skirt and a tom mantilla, the beautiful senorita smiled roguishly at the handsome matador who stood on one leg and extended empty hands. An understanding smile lit up the face of Mr. Kindly as he removed the sign from the window which read: "Special — Five Dollars" and substituted—"An­ tiques—Priceless". HELENE ASQUITH. �DESERTED Damp shades of the day pervade the room Inviting death. A gray and ghostly light Lingers, hanging through windows, webbed As mildewed hair. Stealthily as the night A fog steals from the misty moor and blows Across the window sash, along the floor. DOROTHY STEPHENS. THE CLOUD I saw her come. She crossed the beauty of the sunset, Her gray robes billowing about her Catching the golden splendor of the setting sun. She saw the earth and man As she hovered above the unhappy world. She wept, and her tears fell warm upon the soil, And when there were no longer tears to spare She left; her robes, now, floating gossamer, Soft misty wisps sailing across the moon. BETTY DEWEY. �3 3 3 3 3 3 3 a a a Windows The clock in the steeple, high above the hurrying crowd of tired fathers and mothers turning their footsteps once again toward home, struck six o'clock and the deep, resonant sounds carried far into the distant hills. A little old lady pulled her shabby gray coat more tightly around her thin, weary body and walked slowly along the busy street, getting jostled and bumped by the young members of another generation. She stopped to gaze longingly at a show-window containing an assortment of fur coats and fall dresses. Farther on was a window full of all the groceries and good things that make up a Christmas dinner; but as she saw this, a flash of pain crossed her face and she hurried on. The long, narrow, beautifully stained windows of a church told her that she was getting nearer her destination. She stood before a stained glass image of Mary and her new born Son, and looking reverently up, crossed herself and her lips moved in silent prayer. Suddenly, realizing that a policeman across the street was watching her, she roused herself from her momentary visit with God and walked on. The windows of the houses she passed were covered with steam, and here and there were some crude faces or animals drawn by tiny, artistic fingers on the frosty panes. As she saw them, a tender smile crossed her wrinkled, kind, old face and one felt as if she, too, understood the desire to create new ideas and build a life of comfort and happiness. At the end of the lane stood a small brown cottage surrounded by fallen leaves from the stiff, barren trees which stood nearby. She opened the gate, walked up to the door and unlocked it with a tiny key. There was no fire in the fireplace, no child to draw creative pictures, no one to welcome her home after hours of tramping the streets; but she resolutely walked over to an old trunk in the corner, and, opening the lid that creaked with age, she drew from it a red wreath that is the symbol of Christmas to everyone, and placed it in her window. She, too, was filled with the spirit of thankfulness that will endure as long as there are human souls in the world. MARIAN HINTZEN. �65S CS Scenes From My Window A scene from my window in summer—the lilac loaded with its lavendar blossoms; the apple tree gaylay decorated with pink petals which drift lazily down to cover the velvet grass; a sparrow darting from his nest under the eaves to fetch a tasty bit to fill the empty mouths he has left behind; skies as blue as forget-me-nots, with here and there a cotton cloud; two ragged, barefoot boys, poles over their shoulders and cans in their hands; beds of gentle pansies, stately hollyhocks, and proud nasturtiums—over all, warm, gentle sunshine. Autumn—apple boughs weighed down by lucious burdens; the snowball and cherry radiant in robes of brown, saffron, and scarlet; a woodpecker tapping a tattoo on an old telephone pole; the chestnut laden with golden burrs; three shouting maids on roller skates; festive chrysanthemums; a small boy shuffling through the scattered leaves; tepid sunshine cuts the air of crystal clearness. Winter—a blanket of white over all; trees lifting their naked boughs to a leaden, brooding sky; dry flower stalks bending with each windy blast; two lonely, ruffled chickadees eating from a perch in the cherry tree; rosy-cheeked youngsters, bundled in warm garments, bombarding one another with snow­ balls; a solitary, defiant leaf on a topmost branch of the apple tree, resisting all tugs of the relentless North wind—oh, it yields so reluctantly and the wind, with exultant glee, swirls it madly along the snowy ground. Spring—all the world alive once more; the lilac, vibrant with awakened pulses, covered with green buds; coy violets, radiant tulips, nodding daffodils; a boy, his eyes in the heavens, flying a kite that tugs impatiently to be free of his watchful hands; in the wet grass, a robin engaging in a tug-of-war with a juicy morsel; blustery skies—scenes from my window. =f 5=T HELENE ASQUITH. =r =r rf 3 ��6= e £= c c c �IKAMIL dJoKI^EBN 610 S.

It is a r world in which the fundamental prin­ ciples of freedom of speech, worship, ^3 and thought are threatened. My highest I hope from the past is that during these ; “3 two years you may have gained some fr ^SS conception of the value of these free­ I doms and such habits of thinking as will 1 JI3 T n make possible the intelligent utilization of them. My most aspiring hope for the r I i future is that you will help to bring into American life the honesty of purpose, p the sincerity of spiritual outlook, u** r * the GERTRUDE HOUK FARISS soundness of thinking, and the sanity of Academic Dean judgment which are essential to the existence of democracy. £ The privilege of education is an inval­ i uable gift, one which carries with it the Ss obligation upon every student of elimi­ rC r nating from his thinking the tendencies toward racial prejudice, religious intol­ 'Nl erance, and political inertia. May the fr: members of this graduating class be i-r among those Americans who apply their ip ■s every ability to the determined retention of all that is constructive and best in our ’i” traditional democracy, who direct their v m. •p unceasing efforts toward building in ac­ cordance with a constantly higher and ‘P it ±£ ■C fC more idealistic pattern of democratic ENA MARSTON living.

ARTHUR A. VALL-SPINOSA Chaplain THAT YOU MAY LIVE GRACEFULLY . . One cannot help but be impressed by the im­ mense amount of literature published today for women and girls on the general topic of what, we are pleased to call “graceful living". It is most strange that while a deliberate at­ tempt is being made, by illustrations and adver­ tisements, to equate graceful living with luxuri­ ous living, we must necessarily be impressed, if we think at all, by the vast amount of work and energy necessary to convey that idea. Modeling is a strenuous job, photography and printing are arts, publishing is a large scale business; in a current magazine Mile. Eva Curie tells how the French designers continue their work in the midst of war. In sum, and simply enough, it is the ideal held by the historical church since time immemorial; namely, that none may achieve a luxurious life, in other words, live gracefully, without a tremen­ dous sacrifice upon the part of someone. My prayer, that you may live gracefully, is mitigated with a hope that, as you become “as polished corners of the temple", you may be ever mindful of the workmen in the same. Your life is God's gift to you—live luxuriously. What you do with your life is your gift to God— live gracefully. ARTHUR A.

The play was especially revised by Carolyn Gordon Bowers, director, to meet the needs of the group presenting it. "Alison's House" unfolds the story of the influence which Alison, the poet, long-dead, exercises over various members of her immediate family. The play creates a new insight into the mind and heart of the poet. Guest players from the University of Portland were again selected to play the men's roles, this making the second year in which men have participated in the college play. "Alison's House" marked the first occasion of a Pulitzer Prize play being presented at St. Helen's Hall Junior College. THE CAST Director... ........ Carolyn Gordon Bowers ANN LESLIE...........

Delta Psi Omega President Secretary-Treasurer Vera West Barbara Minor Dorothy Dicks Vice-President Adviser Miss Carolyn Gordon Bowers In accordance with a program determined early in the year, this national dramatic honorary fratemiiy has pointed its endeavors toward keeping alive in the college an active interest in the art of the theatre. The Understudy Club, formed under Delta Psi Omega auspices, has continued to grow under their sponsorship in size and strength until it has assumed almost independent pro­ portions. Stunt Night, a Delta Psi Omega mid-year project, witnessed a "mellerdrammer" of the old school, "The Diamond in the Rough" or, "Purity Has No Price", with members of the cast indulging in an hilarious Olio after the play for the amusement of the audience. The audi­ ence, seated around small tables, had bags of peanuts thrown to them and were served cider in mugs by waitresses (Understudy members) of the gay 90's. Among other activities of the year Delta Psi Omega sponsored a Mothers' Club meeting in January, doing both the serving and the entertaining. In February four new members were initiated, and five girls were pledged. The ritual was revised prior to winter initiation, and a new ceremonial song written. The final social project of the year was the annual Awards Tea given at the home of Gertrude Houk Fariss, on Saturday, June 1. At this tea the Delta Psi Omega award of a year's subscription to "Theatre Arts Monihly", given annually to a non-member of the fra­ ternity who has contributed most to ihe dramatic life of the college, was presented to Ruth Director. �I *1 i FRONT ROW Ann Hawkins, Ruth Director, lane Deacon, Dorothy McBreen.

The program in­ cluded "Gesu Bambino” and several familiar Christmas carols. For their main project of the year, the girls undertook something which had never been done before in Portland. With the aid of the high school Glee Club, they prepared the ethereal background music of Debussy's setting for "The Blessed Damosel” by Rossetti, which was presented March 19 with the Portland Philharmonic Orchestra, under the baton of Leslie Hodge, director. During the three weeks' rehearsal period the girls were directed by Mrs. Ann Hilden­ brandt and supervised by Mr. Hodge. Mrs. Clorinda Topping accompanied the Glee Club in their rehearsals. As Mrs. Hildenbrandt received many congratulatory comments upon the girls' singing and as an invitation was extended to them to appear again with the orchestra, the per­ formance may be ranked as an outstanding achievement for St. Helen's Hall and the Junior College. �1 : 3 I 18 I ! 8 I ! 8 I : 8 I ! 8 I ! 8 I !=3 .

The papers were mimeographed by girls on the staff in order to reduce expenses and assure accuracy. Heretofore all editions had been mimeographed outside the school. Copies of each edition of the paper were saved by the Press Club to be bound. The paper, v/hich was first printed in 1934, was given its name because the Hall Tree is "where we hang all the news".

The tendrils of the low-hanging weeping willows were caressed by each lap of waves against the rocks. A breeze swept flurries of dry leaves across the weathered planks of the tennis court and brushed a fir bough across the roof of the lodge. Then, all was still—the only movement being the gentle swaying of boats at the dock. f? $ f. $ How peaceful it was—yet how lonely. I remembered the picnics in the afternoon, the overnight stays in the long rows of bunks, the evening "get-togethers" in the lodge where we had been inspired by group discussions on far-reaching subjecis or more intimate matters. K I loved the gay parties, the splashing of swimmers in the water, the shouts of girls echoing among the trees, laughter and the melody of their songs around the outdoor fire in the evening. Twilight brought coolness and lagging canoes gliding homeward. 3 The day faded into twilight as I sat reminiscing, but only shadows wandered on the lake. Only in my imagination was the still beauty transformed into vibrant lifel That is the memory of Everglades I wish to cherish. f? 3 3 3 2 2 3- _ 3 2 3 3 1 3 1 12 / —Betty-Jo Shown. �:J+ iZteMtts ■* W ■ ES r'E Mrs *-<M m I J— ' ■ - T §::|i CAUTION1k 7 ’•; I'j >E ^ 'KN I" ' -E I" *x^r- v'. e= 8 Jsrf ��1940 Scintilla Poetry Award TO PHANTASMA By PEGGY BROOKE Once a fever's fitful fancy wrought a dream Of voices and a plashing, A rippling and a splashing— The sound of many voices o'er a stream. Peering into misty space, Something seemed to deaden sight. Naught appeared of form or face In the murky, leaden light— A host of formless shadows at my side, In the passive river's ever-moving tide, And their presence caused no quiver, On the surface of the river. From the dimness welling, Rising, falling, fading, swelling— Voices all around, A most melodious sound— Sound of voices softly calling, Rising, swelling, fading, falling. The river gently surging, A forward movement urging— I felt myself resisting, The moving tide insisting. There was no sound of laughter, With echoes following after. There was no sound of gladness— Only sounds of solemn sadness— A hosi of formless shadows at my side, In the languid river's ever-moving tide, And their presence caused no quiver, On the surface of the river. I could not limn the figment, Had I canvas, brush, and pigment. The murmur of sad voices, o'er a stream— A rippling and a splashing, A pleasing, plaintive plashing And shadows sweeping by me, in my dream. DEBUSSY Ethereal waves of hauniing tone patterns, Tumbling and rippling in playful caprices. Forming nebulous, ever-changing melodies That roll shoreward from a sea of enchant­ ment. —Barbara Minor �A STORY OF YOUTH Honorable Mention Do you think I'll forget the tune that we chose As the theme of our joyful romance? Do you think for a moment I'll lose the spell Of the way that we loved to dance? Do you think that the walks on the cliff that we took Will be lost in the many tomorrows? Won't you know that the smile we exchanged in a glance Will soften the oncoming sorrow? Don't you see, my dear, that as long as we both Feel the joy of the moments we glean, We can live them again and love them as well, As the time they first patterned our dream? —Frances Chaney. MY LOVE WENT FAR ACROSS THE SEA My love went far across the sea To fight and kill to make men free. Now he is dead across the sea— The world lives on but is not free. The men still fight across the sea; My love will not return to me. The men still die across the sea— The world lives on bui is not free. —Vivian McNamee. MY HEART I saw a heart in a cloud, And I thought, "Is it mine"? And I watched it pass by, Thinking, perhaps it's a sign. I watched the heart in the cloud, And slowly it crumbled and broke, And I knew that the heart was mini That the clouds had been playing a joke. —Frances Robertson. �f=i 1940 Scintilla Prose Award to SCINTILLATIONS t:i >1 I By BARBARA MINOR Once again as the warmth of April sunshine spread its welcome radiance over the enclosed patch of green campus, friendly greetings and delighted laughter filled the rainfreshened air. Girls scurried from the main building to the sunlit porch of the dormitory or wandered to and fro, looking for a comfortable spoi where they could eat and chatter during the short lunch hour. On a bench by the chapel door a sophomore sat, half screened by the leafy branches of a shrub that nestled near the sun dial. She might have seemed lonely to a casual ob­ server, but she wasn’t. She chose to sit in this partially secluded corner, where she hoped to untangle the turbulent thoughts and feelings that had taken possession of her. Up to this moment she had been wholly occupied with school activities: papers, tests, scientific experi­ ments, club meetings, sports, and social events. But suddenly spring chanced by, renewing life and inviting carefree indulgence in its invigorating atmosphere. High spirits prevailed at the Hall and brought relief from the mental strain of the long winter months. The exuber­ ance, the joy of living, brought with it something else, however, something that chilled the heart of the sophomore. She was thinking of this same gay period of the year before when she had been a freshman, happy and light-hearted, remembering that the weeks had flown from then until commencement time. Commencement had been beautiful, yet somehow sad, even then—and now it was approaching again. She began to realize fully how much her life at the Hall had meant to her, how crowded the fleeting hours had been. There were hours of hard, exhausting work; moments stolen for play; small triumphs and momentary disappointments. The highlights of this last year passed before her in panoramic view: Freshman Week with eager, humble nobodies wanting to belong . . the first Student Body dance with freshmen somewhat abashed at the prospect of meeting all who were on the list of patrons and patronesses . . . Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets everyone sharing and finding her own celebration richer because of that sharing . . . term papers, vacation, and exams ... a strenuous combination of fun, excitement, and slaving over the last 499 words necessary to finish the 5000 word paper . . . the new term, each girl vowing silently, "I'll never leave things to the last minute again" . . . Valentine's Day and the dean's birthday, sincere "out-of-tune" renditions of "Happy Birthday" ringing through the halls . . inter­ collegiate conferences with enthusiastic delegates bringing glowing reports from other schools . . . Cotton Day and Campus Day, with informality and fun the passwords for par­ ticipation . . . the spring play, climax of the work of the drama department and another out­ standing triumph for the school, crowning success because or in spite of the number of box lunches thrown into its production . . . selection of the May Queen and the glorious climax to weeks of speculation and anticipation, the May Carnival., clubs vieing with each other in resourcefulness of booths . . . week-ends at Everglades . . . elections of Student Body officers for the coming year . . . exams again . . . the Sophomore banquet and spring formal, cul­ mination of all the best dreams that a girl at the Hall can have . . . Baccalaureate, distribu­ tion of the Scintilla and the Torchlight Procession, forecasting already the regime of the coming year . . . and finally Commencement, the most beautiful conclusion possible for two years filled to the brim v/ith cherished memories which pass in review, keeping time to the strains of "Pomp and Circumstance". And still more wonderful are the even stronger bonds v/hich tie the memories together . . . understanding, kindness, and friendships, all blending into a deep feeling for the Hall, symbolized by ihe quiet inspiration of the simple, sunlit chapel. The sophomore was brought back to reality by the insistent ringing of the bell which marked the end of the lunch hour. Her eyes were moist but in her heart she was content and thankful for tv/o completely happy years. She arose with a sigh and started back io mingle v/ith her gay companions. As she walked, her gaze wandered upward, and she glimpsed a fleecy cloud moving behind the corner of the dark brick building, against which was silhouetted the outline of the cross. For a moment she was spellbound by the beauty of the picture. There she bowed her head, silently murmuring a prayer of gratitude, and returned to her work v/ith renewed courage and effort, knowing she had experienced a true appreci­ ation of her life at the Hall. 1 1 1 -1 1 i i ■ ■ i i ■ I 1 1 "1 1 I I i i I •» -■ h><ji I 1 I* -■ I K. - i �■ l ! 3 p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p »4 �& 1 r i ' ; �3 3 ■ ?. f ?.

We have tried to give you more; and searching, you may find glimpses of tradition, friendship, and lasting love. Cap­ turing the spirit of fellowship is an abstract effort, but the body of the yearbook is substantial. For you are here. There have been times when you worked without credit and occasions when you were praised without reason. But in these pages are records of your true achievements only. The Annual is, as its name implies, a mirror to image the facets of your youthful personality, and to retain them, scintillating, for all time. In years to come you may see yourself again as a worker in a club, as an officer in an organization, as a laughing and happy girl among your friends, or perhaps as an honored and admired member of Angelas. Glancing through the Annual, you will be reminded of still other scenes, recorded only in your memory.

When she leaves, she carries with her its lasting influence.

We are striving — each one to give the best that is in her. We dedicate our Annual to the spirit of St. Helen's Hall, and we use as a theme the tangible effect of this spirit in our lives. This effect is expressed through the effort of each of us to climb as high as she is able. Though some reach a higher goal than others, each knows she L L L L L has done her best and experiences the satisfaction which comes with that realization.

AVE ATQUE VALE [ "Hail and farewell". The class with which I entered the Junior College is now graduating. It seems impossible that these two short years are now at an end and that the ’'hail" of some twenty months ago is but a faint echo down the long corridor of time. I do want to wish you "good luck in the name of the Lord", just as fervently and honestly as I did then, and even more certainly, now that my initial stagefright has passed. Now I have to say "farewell", but as I do, will you understand it to mean fare well? There is no "end" of anything, no page marked FINIS in our book of living; mayhap a period, an indentation, a momentary stopping place. But pages continue to turn, and the brief pauses mark the chapters of our growth. Fare well means "carry on successfully", and if you continue with the same dis­ cipline as well as energy with which you have carried on so successfully during the past two years, you will indeed fare well. My prayer is simple: May you continue to grow in knowledge, in wisdom, and in favor with Sod and mankind. Ave! atque vale! h [ ! i ■ 1 ' 7 ARTHUR ALAN VALL-SPINOSA.

Truth, goodness, leadership, and generous service are the virtues symbolized in the blue Maltese Cross, emblem of Angelas. Angelas members seek to serve the college and their fellow students in countless ways. Their first efforts were toward helping to provide a happier and more satisfac­ tory adjustment to college life on the part of new students. With this end in view, members of Angelas made innumerable calls on entering students during the summer. They also planned all of the activities of Freshman Week, and were directly in charge of the events of this opening week. During the year, particularly at the time of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holi­ days, Angelas has reached outside the college itself, extending its ideal of service to those in need of help. The families "adopted" by Angelas at both Thanksgiving and Christmas received abundant food, toys, clothes, and good cheer. The Angelas award to a girl-of-the-month, one who has given quiet and unosten­ tatious evidence of her cooperation, friendliness, and loyalty to the school, was first given in March and has been received by three girls during the spring. The year's activities ended with the impressive tapping of new members at the Torchlight procession, followed by the annual initiation. �DELTA PSI OMEGA L L Third Row: E. Arnreiter, Y. Prather, P.

On October 30, as the fourth annual Stunt Night program, two Chinese plays were presented in traditional manner. Chinese music was played; and rice cakes, candied ginger, and specially blended tea were served during the intermission. In March, in conjunction with the Understudy club, which is sponsored by Delta Psi Omega, an assembly was given for the student body. The program was in the form of a panel discussion concerning the importance of the theatre and screen as agents of effective emotional propaganda during the present international crisis. £ Special social events of the year included a reunion party for active members and alumnae during the Christmas holidays; a dinner meeting for the Understudy club; and the traditional Awards' Tea, which was held May 17. At that time, awards were presented for outstanding contributions made by students to the dramatic life of the college. Delta Psi Omegas pinned pledge ribbons on ten girls and formally initiated three new members in March.

Understudy was organized for first-year dramatics students by * Delta Psi Omega. Each year since, it has been reorganized and has grown enough in membership to make itself increasingly important to the drama of the school. Members serve as the stage crew for all dramatic productions. Each month they hold a business meeting at the college and a social meeting at a member's home. Scenes are presented by members at these social meetings, and occasionally a guest speaker talks on some phase of dramatics. Activities this year included a candy sale at Christmas and joint sponsorship of a dance with Studio club in April. For their annual gift to the dramatics department, members have renovated all the stage furniture and presented several new pieces to the department.

Audra Haffenden and Doris Mae Owen were the delegates to the Northwest Regional International Relations Club Conference of College Students, which met in March at the College of Idaho. Audra presented her paper on "British and German Imperialism". As a result of new ideas brought back from the conference, panel discussions on vital world affairs were held at each meeting during March, April, and May. Miss Ann Reed Burns spoke on "Modern Political Mexico" at the club's assembly in March. Miss Burns had recently returned from an extended stay in Mexico.

The Studio club's assembly in March presented Miss Virginia Strong of the Port­ land Art Museum, Miss Strong acquainted the students with the organization and services of the museum. As a final social project, Studio members collaborated with Understudy members to present an informal dance.

Kaufman (By special arrangement with The Dramatists' play service) FOR the major production of the spring, the College Players presented a rollicking, T drawing-room comedy of the women behind politics, the theme of the play was forcefully illustrated by its many and varied feminine characters, who, by fair means or foul, managed to control the government. From the well-bred sarcasm of Lucy Chase Wayne and the low-bred acid of Irene Hibbard, the two most glamorous women in Washington, to the crusading smugness of Mrs. Louella Mae Creevey, presi­ dent of the Peace, Purity, and Patriotism League, and the beguiling sweetness of Emmy Lou Paige from Mississippi, the playwrights give us the answer to what lies behind a presidential nomination; and the ansv/er is, "Cherchez la femme!“ FIRST LADY was the first production in the modern genre yet attempted by the College Players and so marked another milepost in their program. It also inaugurated a new policy of giving two performances instead of the customary one. The play was revised by the director, Caroyln Gordon Bowers, to meet the needs of the group. Guest players selected to personify masculine roles included Jack McCliment, George Johnson, and John Groegor. r i . [ L L [ I Seated: L. Kennedy, P. Simmons, E. Arnroiter, H. Robertson.

NE of the most unusual offerings ever attempted by the College Players was ^ the experimental presentation in January of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca. Prepared as the major attraction of the Players' fourth annual Experimental Evening, Rebecca was enacted on a two-level stage, against an impressionistic setting. Al­ though the play ran somewhat over an hour in length, the curtains were never drawn. A dimmer was used to black out the stage at the end of each scene; and in the dark­ ness, the voice of the narrator, the second Mrs. de Winter, carried on the thread of the strange, atmospheric tale. An unusual and rather remarkable feat was accom­ plished by Jane Deacon, who played the second Mrs. de Winter, in that she made three complete and many partial costume changes in the pitch darkness on the stage, while simultaneously maintaining the narrative. Outstanding impersonations were played by Seorgie Lou Gage as Beatrice Lacy, Maxim de Winter's sister, and by Elizabeth Arnreiter, as old Mrs. de Winter, the deaf grandmother. The Experimental Evening program also included excerpts, directed and rehearsed by the students themselves, from Green Grow the Lilacs by Lynn Riggs, from Peter Pan by Sir James Barrie, and from Stage Door by Edna Ferber and George S. Kauf­ man. Lornelle Kennedy as Peter Pan especially delighted the audience with her deli­ cate movements and elfin whimsicality. A Christmas play was presented by the Players just before the holidays. Patricia Simmons as the Virgin Mary, singing a lullabye over the cradle of the holy babe, beautifully and effectively portrayed the age-old meaning of the Christmas season. With the May presentation of Dayton and Kaufman's First Lady, the college dramatic season came to a close. r_ J H r.r r, i �r? 3i nr Presenting Her Royal Highness of the May Carnival . . . L1 ■ ■ I I N 1935 the Athletic Association planned the first May carnival at St. Helen's Hall Junior College! It was I spring. Spring is a time of fetes, and so the now traditional May carnival was appropriately inaugurated during that month. There were the usual booths and concessions, and at this first carnival the choosing of the queen was just another event in the main affair. The May fete was such a success that the Athletic Associalion voted to repeat it the following year. In 1936, a dance at the end of the carnival was sponsored by the International Relations club. Hence, the custom arose of concluding the evening with a dance sponsored by some organization. The 1941 May carnival, ruled by Queen Robin I, has taken an enviable place among the traditional Athletic Association festivals at St. Helen's Hall Junior College.

Douglas Malloch l 1 L �I I ; j : �f I ' . �Random Thoughts A LMOST midnight . . . the house is quiet and peaceful as I sit at my desk. I close the last book and push it gently aside. Turning the lamp low, I lean for­ ward to the wide-open window before me and momentarily catch the breath of early spring in the soft night air. I relax and feel the enveloping stillness and tranquility of night. Then it is that random thoughts come to me, weaving their pattern of reminiscence and reflection. The soft night breeze drifts in, and its very softness and coolness recall another night such as this . . . the night we went to hear a charming Negro soprano's con­ cert. Our seats were located high above the others; the auditorium was crowded with enthralled listeners, but the music touched us until those around us faded away, and the singer seemed to direct her songs to us alone. I remember how we left the concert, filled with rich music. We were unwilling to lose the deep, esthetic enjoyment we had found, and so we drove far into the night until we came to a quiet place high on the hills, from where we could look deep into the valley; here, under the heaven's midnight blue sprinkled with metallic starlight, we recaptured a portion of the fullness of beauty in the music we had shared. That night was like this . . . soft and cool and infinitely peaceful. Midnight . . . the wind is stirring now, and it ruffles the window curtains over a group of books which line one side of my desk. I catch the neatly-printed title of a small volume—Robert Nathan’s Autumn. Many times I have read its pages, finding them full of simple but rich truths, expressed in quiet wisdom and philosophy. I recall one passage . . . "What are the good things of life . . . ? Love, peace, the quiet of heart, the work of one's hands. Perhaps it is human to wish for more, But to be human is not always to be wise." Here, indeed, is food for thought. Past midnight ... I snap off the lamp and let the pale glow of starlight melt into the room. I look up to the star-studded sky and a deep wonder fills me—wonder and awe in the thought that these same stars have been with the world from the very moment of its creation. What a great parade of humanity they have seen; what change and chaos and progress of man they have witnessed. Yet they remain shining and unwavering as ever, calmly surveying all that goes on below them. I wonder if they hear the hopefully whispered appeals of little children as they turn their young faces heavenward in naive faith . . . "starlight, starbright, first star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might have the wish I v/ish tonight." I wonder if they feel the con­ stant gaze of the star-splitters who, armed with man-made telescopes and similar devices, attempt to read the mysteries that lie above. I wonder if these same stars are touched by the invocation of lovers who have found the beauty of starlight re­ flected in the hearts of their beloved ones. I wonder if they look down on man, ridiculing his ignorant fight against fellow man for gain and power, which is external­ ized always in cruel wars and heartless persecutions. I wonder . . . The wind has calmed again. Random thoughts have come and gone, and once more everything seems unruffled and placid in the quiet serenity and peace of deep night; only the occasional whisper of the soft night wind blends with the faint, noc­ turnal notes of the crickets. —YOSHI YOSHIZAWA. NIGHT The earth is quiet. It has been lulled to sleep by the cricket's song. The sleepy wind sighs through the feathery trees. High above, the moon is a marble disk against The still night sky. It moves smoothly, swiftly, on its velvet path. The silvered surf pounds beneath it now. Soon its path will lie softly on the gently swelling sea. —ELIZABETH ARNREITER �u ! 1 r Nature’s Mirror The day, the place, the scene around—they season all my moods; in tune. As Nature barters calm for storm, my thoughts are changed _ A seaward glance will prove the truth that thoughts are sometimes built Around the fickle skeleton of nature s changing ways. Some days are built for dreams, and some for climbs in dreams to come. And some are made for racing with the wind, and racing done, For searching far horizons for the answer to this tale. A golden day, majestic, fit for feasts of ancient lore— I feel content with all the v/orld, content with Sod and man; The sun is warm, the breeze is breach—no greed nor hate nor wrong But omnipresent peacefulness of lying on the sand With placid satisfaction and security that comes In listening to the lazy, lulling lapping on the shore. And now a day with leaping surf, with flying whirls of sand; The indistinct and grayish stretch of sky and water one; The quickening, stimulating wind that urges me to search For places never seen before—the goal beyond the hill. There's inspiration to achieve, for sharp days make clear thought. I want to run against the rain that splashes clean my face, I want to climb the highest crest and stand against the wind. The force around me lends a strength; reality looms near To answer every doubt—and understanding joins content. My mind is always changing in a score of little ways, And yet, my every mood still echoes Nature's choice of days. —JANE DEACON. On Time? HE was sure it was the right bus because she had looked at the sign in front twice; the conductor had told her it was the right bus when she asked, but as she sat dov/n, a feeling of tension and nervousness still clung to her. This must be the right bus because the conductor had said it was, but would she get there on time? It would be foolish to ask the conductor because, after all, what difference would a few minutes make? She sat rather stiffly on the seat as the bus moved on and noticed that her fingers, of their own ,accord, were folding and refolding the transfer. Was it warm in the bus, or was she just hot? She looked eagerly at every clock passed and com pared it with her watch. Each clock told a different time, and she wondered visibly which one was right and if her own watch were fast or slow. She consciously tried to relax but couldn't for long. That block seemed familiar; was half or a third of the trip left now? Well, if it was late, it was late, and there was nothing to do about it. She flung herself back onto the seat with a provoked frown on her face, studiously looking at the bus advertisements. Gradually her gaze returned to the window. There—that was the block, wasn’t it? Yes, it was. She pulled the bell cord and v/alked calmly and sedately down the aisle to the door. —JEANNA GRAY. DAWN It is four o'clock in the morning. The only sound is the rustle of old newspapers, as the wind nudges them along the streets. The only v/atchers are the white-faced mannequins behind plate glass windows. White, white faced mannequins whose hats slant at dizzy angles. —ELIZABETH ARNREITER : r- ... [ [ t. [ [ L I [ [ [ E rj. i 1 i i �i J 4 . n :r T TH T "Violets?" \ j VOLETS? Violets? Would the pretty lady like some violets?" The crowded V restaurant turned a dumb, oblivious back to the little figure who persistently cried his wares . Eagerly he advanced to an obviously in-love couple, and, displaying the purple beauty before the girl’s pathetically eager eyes, he whispered, "Violets?" The boy's mute appeal and embarrassed refusal made the little, white-haired vendor clear his throat and hastily move on. The cruel refusal by a scornful woman forced a rebellious surge through his frail, indignant form. If a casual observer would but look closely at him, he would notice, first, bright little eyes of startling blueness, piercingly analytical. Then the onlooker's eyes would travel next to an unusually full lower lip that quivered unmistakably—though its owner would vehemently deny it—when flow­ ers were rudely pushed aside. When the stately little gentleman talked, his white, well-kept, little beard bobbed jerkily up and down. Wistfully he gazed at the welldressed men who discussed baseball and the stock market between vigorous bites of steak. With a rueful smile he would pick an imaginary speck off his shabbily genteel clothes and then pull his coat tighter over his thin shoulders. Once, at refusal, more pamful because it was disinterested, he paused momentarily and looked at the floor as if something unusual was there. He looked so tiny and so solitary amid the busy ufe around him. No, that couldn t have been a sob shuddering through his body. Probably he was cold. Then, with a cheery, determinedly gay smile, he lifted his head, proudly took a few steps forward, and called, "Violets? Would the pretty lady like some violets?" —VIRGINIA CASKEY, rr r CLOUD PICTURE RAIN ■t* r. r1 J J J J i IT— : r The strands Of rainbov/s soft Of colored ribbons stretch Across the mussed-up sky to tie The clouds.

THUNDER of applause rang in Rhae’s ears as she stood spellbound—gazing into ' \ the eyes of her ardent and admiring audience. Her ambition had been won, and now she was experiencing the feelings of which she had always dreamed. Excited shafts of joy darted in and out of her heart, each one plucking a string lightly enough to cause her body to shiver a bit. Tiny thrills raced from the tips of her toes to the very tiptop of her blond, curly head. They tickled her spine and made her whole body tingle with joy. Her heart poured its warmth out to the idolizing group of faces, and it seemed to skip a beat every time the applause broke into an even louder thunder than before. Her heart was surrounded with joyous emotions, each striving for dom­ inance and all of them making Rhae feel as though her heart were going to burst if they didn t stop chasing each other around. Her whole form seemed to be illumi­ nated by its intense joyousness. For a moment Rhae felt that she was floating on clouds of glory and that the sound of applause was wind blowing violently into a louder and louder crescendo. She felt that her face was reflecting the feelings which were chasing around in her heart and was trying to contact each adoring face, giving it an expression akin to that feeling in her heart. So great was her joy that she didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. All Rhae knew was that a worshipping audience had pro­ duced a stinging sensation around her heart and that she was experiencing the happiest moment of her life. —DORIS BALZIMER. i J j �Top left: BEST TYPICAL, P, Simmons.

Behind every great school there is a beloved guiding light, and she is ours—a never ceasing spirit of kindliness, under­ standing, graciousness, and all inclusive friendliness. It would be almost impos­ sible to determine the number of instances in which her whole-hearted enthusiasm and interest have been the inspiration for tre­ mendous achievements and have even de­ termined the entire course of a Hall girl’s future life. One cannot be graduated from the junior college without, at some time or other, coming under the magnetic in­ fluence of her inexhaustablc, \ ital energy, her vigorous, but unassuming efficiency, her heart-warming sincerity, and her charming sense of humor that never de­ serts her. YVe arc proud to call such a woman the Dean of St. Helen’s Hall junior college. r 1 j ■ a. : j gt 8; : -• ' pi m. - if- ■ j. !■: “ v =- i l if Dedicated �;:= ■ t $! ■S .i, '■r%\ >1:1 • '.r-i I 1 ’ iff- - : •.I*».* * : ii ’ f ■ : 1 Si f IV: ‘ mm Oj t (11.: • l Gertrude Houk Far is s f I I t' i $1; i li ■ I H, ■ V* .!: ; i !!■ '5 ti’-M ★ i1 m i • ; •i i;V1 I: II s �* • ■ I I I I.

GERTRUDE HOI K FARISS, Dean ENA MARSTON, Registrar I To Our Graduates— Go forward with courage, you of the Class of 1942. And with your courage let there be intelligent perspec­ tive. The highroads of today are not sheltered, peaceful ways, marked by guideposts of tradition. Rather they wind through torturous and dangerous passes, and count­ less crossroads lead into strange, precarious regions. But do not be afraid. Those with courage, steadfastness, and faith will find the way. Upon the woman of today rest tremendous obligations to utilize her education for living, the priceless gift of a free country; to find a deep, spiritual conviction, emerg­ ing from America’s earliest insistence upon the right to worship God in freedom; to prove worthy of her heritage of liberty and democracy, fought for and won with the toil and lifeblood of Americans. Out of the struggles and triumphs of this past comes the challenge of our present. Go forward to meet the challenge, you who are leav­ ing us. Do not be afraid! ’ -1 A w1 •r >- „ I •i —Gkrtrudi-.

Does not that list of diverse all-school activ ­ ities remind you of the bi-monthly Thursday student body meetings where the prexv pleads for cooperation and appoints endless committees; where club presidents announce every organization event; where the date com­ mittee solicits potentially dateless girls; where the year­ book staff encourages the sale of the Scintilla; where the ad chief begs for more copy? Meetings arc not always so personal, however, foi every other Thursday the student body assemblies art devoted cither to speakers who discuss cultural or civic topics or to school organizations which present educational programs in keeping with their own activities. Among the outstanding guests this year were Sadie Orr Dunbar and Robert Tyler Davis. An athletic exhibition, a quiz program, motion pictures, panel discussions, and musical presentations have been presented by clubs at their annual assemblies. �1 ■v'l; M ■ “That our daughters may be as the polished stones of the temple. . . That ideal was expressed by the foun­ ders of St. Helen’s Hall when they laid the first corner­ stone more than eighty years ago, and that ideal has con­ tinued to live through eight decades of educational achievement. ’ ; ■ : U St. Helen’s Hall, the only accredited junior college cxclusivel) for young women in the state of Oregon, traces its origin to an institution organized to meet the needs of the daughters of the pioneers. The school was founded by the Episcopal church in 1861, and in 1932 the junior college was established to supplement the ele­ mentary and high schools. i j • , 1’ Since the institution has always had a tendency to enrich its curriculum progressively, the junior college in 1937 augmented its educational opportunities by affiliat­ ing with the School of Nursing of the Good Samaritan hospital. %\ • ..V To proceed “Onward, ever onward” is truly the aim of St. Helen’s Hall junior college in its educational pro­ gram and fulfillment of its ideals.

SOPHOMORE CLASS LEADERS The 1942 graduates have been active to the cnth degree in every junior college activity from scholastic achievement and superiority in science to invigorating athletic participation and wholesome social life. By ambitiously selling doughnuts and sponsoring a fortune-telling concession at the annual May Carnival, the girls worked together to assist the yearbook financially and to present a class gift to the school. Among the events so memorable to every graduate. Baccalaureate service is one of the most impressive. This year’s sermon was delivered by the Right Reverend Benjamin D. Dagwell at Trinity church on May 24. Preceding the spring dance, May 29, sophomores gathered for a formal dinner at the University club.

They planned and directed activities of Freshman Week, which was inaugurated to assist new students in adjusting themselves more easily and happilv to col­ lege life. The ideal of service was especially evident during the I hanksgiving and Christmas holidays, when Angelas members presented food and gifts to needy families. Because of the many students who remain unrecognized for their activities, quiet loyalty to the Hall, and sincere friendliness toward everyone, Angelas introduced the girl uf-the-month award last year. My mo Povey, Shirley Casebeer, Betty Dcutsch, Dorothea 'Thomas, and Mary Anna Eckman were presented with awards this year. The tapping of new members took place during the 1 orchlight Procession and was followed by the impressive initiation in the college chapel in May. DELTA PSI OMEGA The Sara Siddons chapter of Delta P<i Omega, national honorary fraternity in dramatic art. has introduced several “firsts’ in pledging this year. Four sopohomores. June Page. Jeanna Gray, Doris Balzimcr, and Rosanne Weil, were pledged fall term and were formally initiated in March to enable them to participate in activities as members before grad­ uation.

UNDERSTUDY CLUB Understudy is sponsored bv Delta Psi Omega to further dramatic interest among students. The club has been partic­ ularly helpful to the dramatic honorary by its assistance with play productions. Understudy members have served as stage crew and ushers at all school dramatic functions. At the combined business and social meetings held at mem­ bers’ homes each month, scenes from well-known plays and reviews of the authors’ lives were presented. Under the chairman, Betty Deutsch, the club held a success­ ful candy sale before the Christmas holidays. Other activities of the year were a joint Understudy-Studio dance and a joint Understudv-Delta Psi Omega assembly, at which a panel dis­ cussed motion pictures as a means of war escapism. In the spring the club entertained members of Delta Psi Omega at a progressive dinner.

Betty Harder, president; Verna Smith, vice-president; Pat Duffy, secretary; Janet Stern­ berg, treasurer; and Sue Smith, sergeant-at-arms held offices during spring term. i' m Activities of the club included monthly dinners, at which were served the special foods of foreign countries. The club also sponsored many members of the student body who wished to attend army dances. I During the year, Studio members have made bids for school dances and for many of those sponsored by clubs, as well as the Mortar Board bids for Delta Pm Omega Stunt Nitc. The girls designed clever and artistic decorations for the May Carnival, the Christmas and spring formats, and the fall and spring informals.

Martha Bcndixcn, Bette Luplow, Betty Dcutsch, Pat Bone, Pat Duffy, Roberta Perkins, Kimi Tanida, Dorothea 1 homa>, Dorothy Johnson, Shircen Hall, Grace Powell, Barbara Ciawford, and Rosanne Weil, were initiated into the club in March. Each girl in order to qualify for membership had to complete ten hours of active participation in sports to earn one hundred points. Tennis, badminton, swimming, tumbling, and horse­ back riding were the acceptable sports. The H club assembly consisted of a demonstration by stu­ dents of the classes taught in the physical education department of the junior college and a comedy-tumbling exhibition by the instructors and advisers. Miss Tomme Nell Jackson and Mrs*. Charlotte Anderson. The May Carnival, held May 6, was under the direction of the H club, although each student organization in the junior college prepared and managed a concession. 1 he election of the May queen and court and the coronation ceremony and entertainment were two of the major responsibilities of the members. Dorothy Johnson was chairman of the nominating committee, with Myrno Povey, Verna Smith, and Elia Leibold assisting her. �MAY FETE COURT : • '•I - ! a.•i! i ri . i f' ' : <• Princesses Hetty, Dons, Pat, and Auc.cn Queen Dolores Gracious Queen Dolores 1 ; lovely Princesses Aileen, Betty, Doris, and Pat; and the comical jesters have won an unforgettable place in the hearts of loyal student and faculty subjects at the 1942 May fete. In 1935 the Athletic Association originated the May Carnival at St. Helen’s Hall junior college. There were booths and concessions sponsored by various school organizations, and a royal court elected from the sopho­ more class, to reign over the festivities. The laugh-pro­ voking jesters were selected from freshmen ranks. Each year the May fete has proved more popular, and this spring festivities reached a climax. Incorporating campus day and the party for high school girls with the carnival was a novel, welcome idea, since classes were dismissed. Students donned shorts to beautify the campus in the morning; then after pausing for lunch, they worked with renewed vigor to decorate club booths in the gymnasium. Prospective students arrived for a picnic supper pre­ ceding the coronation ceremonies and entertainment. When carnival activities ceased, tired, happy girls, still chatting about the royal entourage, were ready to retire after a successful May 6. �; ' ; 1 11 :■ : FOOTLIGHTS t 1 ' fs V: ■ i I .. i f: ;m Lights! Curtain! Action! And another season of dramatic enter­ tainment opened with the college players of St. Helen’s Hall junior college presenting a rollicking melodrama, She was Only a banners Daughter. To the munching of peanuts and the sipping of cider, served for proper dramatic effect in beer mugs, by the new, wide-eyed fresh­ men, dastardly Mulberry Foxhall, impersonated by the long-legged ___ Caroline Holloway, caressed “his” mustache and pursued the virtuous ■ Buttercup Spivens, played by flirtatious Yvonna Prather, across the stage, while the noble hero, Archibald Achilles Smithcrs, better known as Aileen Bradshaw, strode to the rescue. In October, Delta Psi Omega Stunt Nitc, entitled College Daze. brought such an enthusiastic response from its original audience that it was twice repeated. In the course of College Daze, a burlesque of university life and modern education, a timid freshman, played by Harriet Kowitt, wandered into a “typical” college, where she was lulled to sleep by an Academic Guide, pedanth portrayed by Aileen Brad­ shaw. A hilarious and awful nightmare of the various phases of college life followed, with cap-and-gowned professors. Mary Ellen Foland, 'l vonna Prather, and Caroline Holloway, loudly acclaiming the wondorr of their courses. Delta Psi Omega alumnae entered into the spirit of the production by portraying the alumnae group of the mythical college. In direct and vivid contrast to these wild comedy moods was the timeless element and spiritual appeal of The Women of Bethlehem, an inspiring and impressive Christmas play. Robed in vari-colorcd gar ments and soft, flowing veils, the actresses attempted to recreate with simplicity and dignity the age-old story o fthc birth of Christ. Notable in the performance was the lullabyc sung by unseen angel voices over the creche of the infant Jesus. The first major production of the year, the fifth annual experi­ mental night, was a dramatic adaptation of the letters of Elizabeth Barrett to Robert Browning. The play, entitled Elizabeth, was given, in accordance with the experimental nature of the evening, in an im­ pressionistic manner on a tw’o-level stage, with but a suggested set. The curtains were never drawn during the performance, the continuity being carried by Caroline Holloway, who, as Elizabeth Barrett, con­ nected the various scenes by her sensitive and moving rendition of Elizabeth’s letters. Yvonna Prather, as bombastic Henrietta, and Aileen Bradshaw, as dignified Arabel, Elizabeth’s two sisters, gave effectively dramatic performances in this tale of the great invalid poetess. Humor w as achieved by Nancy Hallock, in the role of the lisping Bella, Eliza­ beth’s cousin, and by Harriet Kowitt, in the role of Elizabeth’s Cock­ ney maid, Wilson. Brief scenes from various full-length plays completed the program. § b i I fi i’' I V fI j: If! Y i �1 : I mi ;■ m J ■ "111 v.

No Time For Comedy, revised by Carolyn Gordon Bowers, the dramatic season was brought to a successful close. i? ; • 3 r* 1 ‘ No Time For Comedy concerns the lives of three denizens of a world of sophistication, wit, and chaos. Yvonna Prather gave an ex­ cellent portrayal of Linda Esterbrook, famous actress who attempts to retrieve her husband, Gay, a successful playwright of comedy, from the clutches of an utterly feminine but insidious woman, Amanda Smith, who has convinced Gay that he is wasting himself by writing comedy* As a result, Gay. under the influence of Amanda, who loves to develop his latent possibilities, almost ruins himself and his career by writing a tragedy on immortality. Mary Ellen Foland as Amanda was convincing as the aesthetic se­ ductress. Dan Wessler as Gay and Dunny Smith as Philo Smith, Amanda’s intellectual husband, who falls in love with Linda, were effective additions to the play. The original cast of No Time For Comedy included only three women. To adapt Behrman’s play to include seven women, Miss Bow­ ers added five characters. Dolores Ashkar as Joy Esterbrook, Gay’s younger stage-minded sister; Caroline Holloway playing Phyllis Smith, an indifferent feminine replica of her father, Philo; Aileen Bradshaw in the role of Christine, loyal social secretary to Linda; Nancy Hallock as the bombastic producer and director, Margalo Thurman; Harriet Kow'itt portraying Meredith Lovell, the English social and political columnist; and Jcanna Gray and Eleanor Dodson as maids completed the cast. Technical staff for the spring play included Jeanna Gray, stage manager; Elia Leibold and Grace Powell, costume mistresses; Eleanor Dodson, property manager; Margaret Black, staff artist; June Page, business manager representing Delta Psi Omega and Understudy; Verna Smith, business manager representing the sophomore class; and Margaret Trouton, head usher. i ; .* - �S P O RTS “Service! Love-fifteen.” This has been one of the most frequently heard cries this year at St. Helen’s Hall junior college. Why? Because most of the students arc tennis enthusiasts. The girls, too many to mention all their names, have become highly proficient at the game. Every sunny day brings good-natured vying for use of the tennis courts, the losers going to the side-lines to form a critical gallery w hile waiting for their turns. The “ping ’ of a tennis racket when a ball hits it and the erv, “Ducce point,” will be long remembered by all the students. Many girls preferred fencing, the sport known for many centuries, “On guard”, “Thrust”, “Parry” were often heard commands. At the athletic association assem­ bly the fencing class gave an exhibition. Following in the steps of Robin Hood, others of the students turned to archery, finding keen enjoyment in scoring bulls’ eyes. The gracefulness and poise of the leaps and the other figures of interpretative dancing attracted still others. For some, nothing could equal the feel of a clean cut dive or of the strong pull of the crawl. Badminton, too, was very popular. A quick flick of the wrist often turned the tide of victory. Pat Duffy, freshman, won the championship game of the badminton tournament from Myrno Povey, sophomore, at the time of the Athletic Association assembly. Since the players were so well-matched, the spectators closely watched each stroke of the game. By sports placed happy, Ti i ! ■ [y • ! ! .. : 1 !

At this very moment, Marie supposed, Miss Lamarche was making another grand entrance at one of the numerous parties given in honor of the “star’ . “It isn’t ju't," Marie breathed. “Why couldn’t she have fallen ill—just once.’5 That feeling of complete desolation and helpless wretched­ ness crept over Marie once more. Again, she had missed the oppor­ tunity to prove her dramatic talent, because she was only an under­ study. Instead of the note of sparkling expectancy that was usually so charmingly apparent in her lovely face, her eves had a beaten look, and her face was devoid of emotion, filled with utter hopelessness. y t yy ! gi* I* As she sat before her cracked old mirror, amid the litter of articles that are to be found only in a crowded dressing room— brownish colored klcene.x, portions of costumes, and old shoes—and began to cream her face, the quietness of the empty theatre settled about her and pervaded the room. She wanted to break that dread­ ful .'til 1 ness with an ovcrpoweringly great dramatic part. She wanted to make her grand entrance on that empty stage and command an awe-stricken and adoring audience to rise to its feet in acclamation of her greatness. ig T i The finality with which she wiped her face reflected her deter­ mination that this experience would come to her. T he promise of “sometime”, itself, seemed to permeate the air about her with the distant clapping of hands. Yes! Sometime! By Mary Ellen* Foland.

MY ROAD There is a road 1 love. 1 can’t remember right now just where it is, but I know l have been there. > It was a dirt road, and the clay earth, I remember, was damp and cool beneath my feet. Oceans of green stretched away on either side of my road. Slender brown branches sought to strike my head as I passed under their gentle, graceful network. As I walked, 1 watched constantly for the frail lavender flowers that were scattered along the way. They were not growing close together, nor yet far apart, but they were spaced so that each new plant filled me with the ecstatic joy of discovery. A cool breeze washed my face and play­ fully tangled my hair as I walked, and the sky laughed—whether with me or at me I do not know, but I remember that it was happy, too. 1 don't think there were any birds there, but if there were, I didn’t hear them, because the music of my own rapturous heart obliterated all other sound. The road wound to the top of a high hill, turned, and dropped suddenly from my sight. All I could see was a vast, churning, pale green mist that opposed mv eager gaze. I can’t remember what’s beyond that turn—perhaps 1 never went beyond. But someday I’ll find myself on that road again; and when I do, I’ll be sure to re­ member where it leads so that I can tell you. Maybe I’ll even tell you where the road starts, so that you can go there, too. ;' : ■ •1 : ■ i V l V-1-: 1 By Grace Powell. THE BEAUTY OF SILENCE Listen . . . Here is the music of perfect silence . . . The silence of this moment just before the dusk settles over the great white mountain when the whole world is stilled . . . The death silence of the day lost on the tall white peaks fading into blue shadows of eternal night. By Yvonna Prather. • •): \ Tl ■ ' �TRY AND TRY <« i Good ole Janet’—that’s what the kids call me. But I can assure you that they really mean, ‘She’s a good gal, good for any­ thing any time’—in other words ‘an easy sucker.’ “It all started back in 1936 when skiing was inaugurated as the college group’s latest accomplishment. The Sunday Kenny and Johnny asked me to go with them was only too thrilling—you sec, Kenny and Johnny were the junior thrills of a freshman’s heart. Dad doubled my weekly allowance three times to buy the ultrasmart fleece-lined ski trousers; Eleanor loaned me her size eight ski boots (I wear only a five) ; and other friends donated sweaters— one a gray turtle-neck affair—caps and mittens. “At Government Camp my two male idols strapped the elongated rented skis (they were out of my size) on my ‘greased barges’ filled with four pairs of wool socks to hold my feet in—and there I stood, dressed for action, at the foot of a gentle incline. “The boys decided that 1 had better try something simple before they took me to the ski bowl. You know, ‘simple things for simple souls’! Advance one step, slide back two, advance one step, slide back three—I just couldn’t get up that hill. For the following hour I listened to ‘Walk on the sides of your skis! Dig your poles in! Lean forward! Try it sideways!’ And finally, ‘o. kM you stay here and practice, and we’ll pick you up in a couple of hours. If you get to the top of the hill, by any chance, turn around and coast.’ “Funny how boys never have any patience. But I stayed and tried and tried and tried—I made it once!—just as the boys came back, four hours later. I was going to pretend that I had skied down the hill numerous times while they were gone. I figure that one should try to hide his stupidities as much as possible. So I jabbed my poles into the snow and gave a push, just as I’d seen the movie actors do it. Yowee! I must have sailed through the air, traveling at least twenty miles an hour. Of course, I’d never thought of stopping until now, so back to the movies I went: jump sort of sideways on one edge of your ski. It would have been fine, had I only executed it properly—but I didn’t. In fact one foot went this way—, and the other foot went that way—. There I was, sitting on the snow in that ‘unsitablc’ position, screaming with pain. And all those awful males would do was to hand me a ski pole and laugh. “After the tears had rolled heavily enough down my cheeks, they picked me up, and Johnny carried me ‘piggv-back’ to the car. v ■? ' fa ■ ■ •:: nI ■ I �I I ■ 1 >1 : • ■ ■?■«!■ If ■ Ifc 1. “Oh, yes, it was two months before I quit limping on two sprained ankles, but 1 tried again against Dad’s, the doctor’s, and even- one elsc’s advice. And last year I came in tenth in the Junior Ski meet at Timberline—well, at least I placed.” By Shirley Casebeer. i / ij » THE NIGHT AFTER EXAMS - -A ■'1 ; I The whole dream was like a horrible but fascinating, surreaslistic dilemma. It was like being lost in a vast, deserted Fun House, in which all the complex mechanisms had gone completely berserk and were operating crazily. Each of ‘lie noisy concessions seemed to become uncanny, fearful human personalties. A huge barrel imprisoned me and kept me gleefully churning ’round and ’round in its polished crimson in­ terior. This mad whirling whipped my long black hair about my throat, and I struggled hysterically to prevent it from strangling me. Just as 1 had reached such an exhausted state that I could fight no longer, a weird, purple octopus arm thrust itself in and jerked me from the clutches of the monster, only to strap me down on the back of a fantastic mechanical grasshopper that whistled and grinned wickedly at my terrified stupefaction. He began to dance insaneli through a room completely furnished with ice-blue mirrors that gave my captor even more grotesque proportions than his own hidcousncss allowed him. A heavy, sickening scent of my favorite gardenia perfume sud­ denly pervaded the room. M\ mind was in such a dazed tumult of horror and agonv and confusion that my head seemed to snap otf and on again w ith each wild leap, and 1 wished with the fervor ol a doomed criminal that I were already dead. I closed my eyes to blot out the crazy leaping images that filled the room. A violent cessation of motion, a sudden rush of wind on my face forced my eves open again, and I realized that I was hurtling swiftly down an endless silver chute. As I gulped faster and faster for breath, a mammoth turquoise and scarlet butterfly with glassy gold eyes swooped down upon me, and I found myself soaring breathlessly through white clouds. Suddenly a second butterfly approached; and before 1 knew what had happened, it had blown me from my perilous seat, and l was falling helplessly into a dreadful doom.
