FOREWORD «N presenting the Sixteenth Edition of the SHIELD, we. the staff, have tried to bring together a record of events which have taken place during the sc hool year of 46 and 47. Our purpose has been to produce a Memory Book, which will bring back in the future remembrances of all the happy days of this year. We have given you pictures of your friends and glimpses of events in which you have taken part. However, we could never have attempted the task of putting together this book without the able assistance of so many people outside the sl«ilf. V ow (l debt of gratitude to Miss Bess Lewis, our adviser, for without her wise counsel and helping hand, this yearbook could never have come into existence. It is our sincere hope that we have accomplished our purpose in presenting to you this edition of the SHIELD of 1Q47 as a record of happv memories. The Staff 10 C7 To Miss Jgnirtm, our admonisher. our constant adviser, our inspiration— We, the Seniors. her troublesome children, her ardent admirers. her devoted followers- Wish to express our gratitude and love. 1 1 THE SEMINARY STAFF Arnold, Antoinette Secretary Bare, Nancy Jane Dance Baxter.

This impressive query indicates the presence of Belly, expountling upon the merits oj her native state. Her enthusiasm amuses us all. hut we also regard it as one of lier most valuable characteristics, for it governs ei ery task she undertakes. One of the leading members of Masque and Choir, she enters into their activities with vigor anil a willingness to carry out those chores « « manded of her. It is very seldom that we find lier down in the dumps; always she finds the brighter side of life, as evidenced by her smiling countenance When we want any errand run or a job carried out well, we immediately say. Let Betty do it. MARJEAN CHISHOLM Walla Walla. Wash ington Chiz is one girl wliom no one can call an introvert, for though this is her first year at the Seminary, she has really made a place for herself in our class. We 11 remember her not only for her many talents, whch range from skiing to dancing like the Russians, but also for her ability to get along with others. 1 i I GENAVIE DIFFORD Tacoma, Washington 7 here | nothing like flying on a spring day to dear your mind and free you from all your troubles. At least tlxat s what Geo 11 00 0 tell us. for flying is her pet pastime. WKen the weatherman permits, we 11 find her in the sky. and. if weather isn t proper for flying, we ' ll find her at the moiintain skiing. Art is another of Cteb s interests. Whenever we walk into the art room, there she is daubing in oils, clay, or show card, making strange figures or funny animals. You might call her a Jack of all trades, for she was one of the little girls ' in our Senior Play, irom tlie top of her curly head to the tips of her toes, she sparkles. AluHiys in a gootl humor, she furnishes the Seniors with a reason to smile on those off days . GLORIA GOETZ Spokane. Washington When she tries to dive through the bottom of the swimming pool, when she gels crushed in a hockey game, or when she breaks a bone or two while skiing. Gloria always comes up with a smile and a laugh, readv for more action. Her effen escent good humor and her cooperation in class projects resulted in her success and the success of the class in the prize win ning Halloween skit Gloria wdl long remain in our memories as a lover of good times, horses, bridge, and. on the cultural side of living, good music and art. SALLY GILPIN Tacoma, Washington Here, you go ahead. I stdl have some more to do. says Sal with a smile as she willingly relinquis hes the drinking fountain after only fifteen of her required twenty five sips of water. Her friendly enthusiasm, her skill in athletics, and her real sportsmanship in all her activities have rightfully won Sal the title of Gold Team Captain. We wdl long remember Sal for her year nmrul Uiti irul u •«• will long  nrv her lor her ability to look cute in straight hair or curls. Don t forget your vitamins. SaV MARY HOOKER Tacoma, Washington We w often wondered how Mary could get along williout her scissors. But with trie almost daily snip- ping of her curly locks, her sense of hu mor and good sportsmanship hat e not been cut. She s been a loyal supporter of the Grold Team and an able president of the Athletic Association. In fact, her attempts and results at keeping us in order have been amazing. Her low of animals has been shown through her annual attempt to sell her puppies, and we 11 never forget the party at her farm or her jeep MM h has become as famiilar a sight to us as Mary s happy face and cheerful word. 17 NANCY HULL I n oin«i.

Washington Have you ever thought what a Seminary dance would be without Gale to pull out her list of boys and spend ftours on the phone getting dates for us? She is the president of Masque and one of the talented mem- bers of our class, not only in dramatics, but in her abil ity to make us all laugh. Time and time again she has cheered us up when we think the burdens of the world have fallen on our shoulders. Yes. we predict a hrdleml future for Gale, not only as a star of the New York stage, but as one who. as long as she lives, will bring happiness to the world. 10 JUDY MINTON Tacoma, Washington , . for horses, skiing, studies, arul anything that ' s fun show Judy to he an all around girl.

Kay is proud of he r Irish heritage, too, and ux like the vivacity and charm which must be Irish, too. Whatever the at traction, she is adored by the Baby Corridor Kay hoftes to see her name in neon lights on Broadway some day. and the prominent part she has played in Masque dramatics makes us believe that she will succeed. 21 MARIELLA TEBB Sumner.

Alaska Never lacking a witty remark, always possessing a good sense of humor, and having the ahility to blush to a deep rose in modesty mark Jean as one of the most prominent girls of the Senior class. It has been wonderful to see Jean, in her four years here, suc- ceed and win the most coveted of Seminary honors, such as leading the student body, presiding over Stu dent Councd. and carrying the chapel cross. In all of these, she has carried her responsibility and upheld the trust we have placed in her. We take pride in Jean and her many achievements, and we shall al ways remember her swinging leg. loyalty to the Eski mos, and her dimpled smde. for she has truly been the key ' girl of our class. MARSHA MOFFAT YORK Tacoma. Washington Weren ' t we supposed to have a test on Monday? asks Tuppy with half the class hissing at her so that the teacher won t hear. It s not that Tuppy likes tests, it s just that she likes to be rid of them. One less exam means more otuside time to practice for the hockey and basketball games, and the bowling and badminton tournaments, for Tuppy is one of our most enthusiastic Slues. Her activities don ' t end with sports. In the journalistu held, she was editor of our Junior Journal and slai ed many hours on the Shield Staff. Her list of achievements is a long one: S.A.C., Flag Bearer. Maid of Honor, and Vice President of the Senior Class are a few of them. Yes. Tuppy has been one of the strong pillars of the Senior Class, five feet seven inches of reliability, good sportsman ship, and fun.

At Christmas time, with a spirit ol cheer .m l geniality, they flocked to decorate the gigantic tree in trie (  rea t I hill and aft er wards, to lead the rest of the school in the singing of carols around the lighted tree. With the appearance of spring, the Seniors, with some feeling of regret, relinquished their duties to their successors, who accepted them with enthusiasm and a vow to carry them out faithfully. In gratitude, they presented for the gradu- ates a very successful Prom; while later, on May Day. they arose at the crack of dawn and performed an admirable job of decorating for the festivities. Finally the end of school arrived, that long awaited day when, in jubilation, the Juniors descended the Senior Stairs, singing their original Step Song, remem- bering the happy times of the past year and looking forward to the coming year, a more wondertul one, in which they would take their place as Seniors. 34 35 l eft to right, f irst Ron Manila- Hull- -t Stir I iclal.

With characteristic initiative, the group entertained them- selves with a class party of swimming, dancing, and eating.

THE RAYNOR GUILD HE Raynor Guild is the organization which cares for the Chapel. Two or more girls assume full charge of the preparation necessary for the ser i held during the week to which they are assigned. These girls are responsible for the candles, the flowers, the brass, and the Holy Communion preparations. Beside the regular weekly duties, the Guild as a whole plans and decorates the Chapel for the Christmas and Easter Services. This year new members were required to serve a period of probation while they were learning the responsibilities. Before Christmas they were formally admitted to the Guild during a corporate communion. As a symbol of their mem- bership. Mr. Bell presented each girl with a gold cross upon a blue circle. These pins, which were designed by Jean McClymont. were used for the first time this year. 49 Kneeling, left to right: Mary Ellen Long, Delinda M ( .nin k.

Perhaps, during our school years, we have not fully appreciated the experiences, some happy, some not. but all con- tributing to our over-all education, which we have had; and now, upon our de- parture. we realize the privilege we have been granted in being with you. Who of us can forget the companionship and good times we have had in living together under your guidanc C ) Memories of hockey games— played in the rain to gain that last point— of tournaments and swimming meets in whk Ii we felt that the best girl always won— will remain with us in future years. However, above all, we shall retain the knowledge which we have gained in working at our studies, studies which often seemed difficult, but, when once finished, gave us a feeling of accom- plishment. Of course, dear Seminary, we realize that these things have not only furnished us with happv memories, but have also taught each of us the importance ol the qualities of good sportsmanship, cooperation, dependability, and a general fineness of spirit, which are so necessary in the character of a mature woman. We take leave of you with sorrow, and. vet with gratitude for the patience and under standing with which you have molded us, for our future vears. THE SCHOOL SONG 1 Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Seminary fair. May ac hievements crown thy labors Is our earnest prayer. Chorus : Hearts turn toward our Alma A u rr. May our lives at length Prove thy daughters hear thv motto, On I rom Strength to Strength. II Oeep and clear as those blue waters I boa art reared above. May the characters thou moldest Hold thee in their love. Chorus : III Pure as yonder snow clad mountains W here our glances fall. we in the years to follow Answer to thy call. Chorus: Nellie Bridgman Plummer, ' 95. 56
