Text from Pages 1 - 56 of the 1957 volume:

TIME As we draw to the end of this our last year here, we begin to realize the changes that have been wrought in us under the influence of the Seminar) ' . Time is the builder of our strength, developed through work and under- standing. Our values are assimilated over a period of time. It takes time to gain understanding and wisdom, and to weigh our thoughts in relation to the beliefs of others. Time molds our characters, as we garner the ideas and opinions of others and from our discriminating consideration of them, form our own philosophy of life. Time can be kind or cruel. To us it has been exceedingly kind. Our life here has provided us with both the inspiration and the opportunity to learn and wonder. It has given us the time to develop and stabilize our knowledge, our character, and our faith. Time has given us much, and we, in return, must use our advantages well. Miss Ruth Jenkins Our Headmistress I wonder how many times I ' ve sat in that office, just as have hundreds before me, and hundreds will after me! She sits behind her desk serenely, and I can ' t help thinking over and over again how won- derful she is to let me take up her valu- able time with my really insignificant problems. Marvelous and sagacious in all her decisions, she helps build my self- confidence. She has helped me through many troublesome times, as I ' m sure she has helped many others. The Rev. Canon Arthur Bell Chaplain Emeritus The Rt. Rev. Stephen F. Bayne, Jr. The Rev. Wilbur C. Woodhams President of the Board of Trustees Chaplain DEDICATION To you, Bishop Bayne, we the Class of 1957 dedicate this Shield in grati- tude for the enrichment which you have added to our lives, and in com- memoration of your tenth anniversary as Bishop of the Diocese of Olympia.

The Student Council is the school in miniature. Its members are selected by us to be the leaders of our Student Body, to promote a program of worthwhile activities that will help us to gain a sense of pur- pose for our lives. With this in mind the Council strives to create a unified community here where each girl may feel a sense of responsibility for the well-being of the whole. This is partly accomplished through various projects: the orientation of new girls, Annie ' s Birthday Party, the traditional dance in the fall of the year, the Student Conference on Religion, and Annie ' s Answers to name a few. By group and individ- ual conferences, too, the Council channels our energies as an hour glass controls the flow of sand. CioM of 31 This is the class of 1957 speaking. I came into existence in 1943 when Nancy and Martine, my first Annie Wrighters, entered kindergarten. When we were seventh graders, Katie Sheldon joined me. It was a fine group that marched up a year later to receive their diplomas. How happy I was to be an Upper School class! I really began to be noticed in my Freshman year, when my members enthusiastically composed my class song. After Christmas the magazine drive was my biggest project, and friendly, spirited competi- tion raged between the two teams. My Sophomore year opened with Marcia as President; Sandra, Vice-president, and Nancy, Secretary- Treasurer. The Library was run smoothly, and my members were alert to responsibility. I won the Hal- loween cup for my skit, Who ' s Who. The Freshman - Sophomore Hop was a gala affair! Sandra and Nancy were elected flag bearers for May Day. Louanne was my President, and Mary Ann my Secretary- Treasurer, in my Junior Year. My Sister Eileen was a success with Elise as Eileen, Ellen as Ruth, and Marti as Appopolus. Junior Sales were profitable and a Junior Prom showed great imagination. Louanne looked lovely as Maid of Honor, sweet and sincere. Serious and considerate Mary Ann was awarded the Napkin Ring, while Nancy, with her sterling character, became the Key girl. In our Senior year Louanne was the Student Body President, and Ellen, my President. At Halloween, I made my grand debut as Madeline. The Senior movies proved a sensational success, with Brenda as an enthusiastic chairman. In December came the Christmas Carnival, expertly organized by Mary Ann. The new year began with most of my members taking College Boards. April was marked by the Easter Carol Service, the Junior Prom, and by the announcement that Marilyn had been awarded a Certificate of Merit. May Day came at last! Katie, a happy Queen, reigned graciously and my members in their pastel dresses were true princesses. Exams, and the long anticipated Senior Week of sailing, festivals, dinners, and parties! I sensed in all my members a closeness and a spirit of friendship that can best be described as Annie ' s Spirit. Graduation came, and I commenced a new and shining life in the colleges of my choice.

SPORTSMANSHIP PLAQUE Cordie Hartwell I went into the Chapel and thought of its greatness and power. The service began, I listened to the words. They seemed strange and forbidding, for it was the first time I had honestly listened. On second thought, the words contained comfort and inspira- tion, and I felt as if I had found a new world, but I didn ' t understand why. Our study - hall has a wonderful atmosphere of friendship, peace, and study. One can almost feel the concentration. The deep silence is broken only by the sound of turning pages and an occasional cough. This little box in which so much is accomplished, is very appropriately lined with books, forming a warm plaid around the r(K)m. The clcKk ticking away in front of everyone ' s eyes, acts as a grim reminder, firmly telling us that there is only so much time; use it welll But the sternness of the clock can not hide the homey, and the well and profitably worn look. It is this which makes the study hall a Mecca for all Seminary students. By seven o clock on a winter evening, the outline of the Seminary has faded into the dark sky. The few lights shining in the rooms are framed by the square windows and stand out like yellow splotches on the background of a cubistic picture. I rarely think of the Seminary in terms of structure or appearance. Any light that I have seen has always made me think of the girl in whose room it was shining; every time the front door has swung open I have attached a story to those who exited and entered. As I penetrate in- side the hedge and walk the halls of minds and spirits, I find my picture. On your mark, get set, one more day to go! The excitement in the air is as tangible as a rubber band stretched to the breaking point! It sings when some- one touches it and the strands fall away with sharp pings as the band is pulled tighter and tighter. In approximately twenty-one and three- fourth s hours, the final strand will break, and the excitement will escape into a pell-mell, mixed-up conglomeration of screeching, yelling, and whooping that sounds like open house at McNeil Island. Vacation at last! C U4. of ' rs Leading the red tie class were Julia MacKay, Ellen Osborne, and Sherry Vilas, as they started off the year with a success, their stationery drive. They came to spell this word in every task they attempted. Through their close cooperation, they once again made Junior Sales the long-awaited moment as the clock struck four on Fri- day afternoons. This was helped by Rom ' s enthusiastic commercials. Their play was a beautifully portrayed drama, The Song of Bernadette, starring their St. Bernard, nick- name for Ann Cilley, as Bernadette. Ann, with Mary Wearin, Lani Shuh, Catherine McCurdy, Deanna Poulson, Joan Munroe, Sally Christensen, Suzanne Jeppesen, and Sherry Brown, joined the class this year. With them came fresh life and enthusiasm, new ideas, and a spark promoting unity. Their freshness promoted the spirit of oneness that is now prevalent in these incoming Seniors. One event which will always remain in our minds will be their famous hat show. It will warm our hearts as our hair begins to grey, when we recall that while we were enjoying ourselves we were also contributing to Service League. Now as another year unfolds, this class finds many new adventures awaiting them. They will know the privilege of walkline and the responsibility of Senior Duties. As they walk down their Senior stairs on Alumnae day to sing their step songs, a certain thrill will be theirs as realization dawns, and their thoughts form the words, Now we ' re tull-fledged Seniors. ft J afS9 This year s green tie class has been under the excellent leadership of Helen Mackay as President; Vice- President, Joan Sand well; and Secretary-Treasurer, Barbara Huff. Adding more spark and initiative to the class, came these new girls from various places: Judy Ashby from Alaska, Anne MacNaughton from Hawaii, Daphne Owen and Susan Cromie from our Northern Neighbor, Ann Lapcyre from Idaho, (ynthia Fanshawc and Susan Burggraff from vast Montana, Nanc) Ashford, Judy Moore, Nancy iTcshwatcr, Fimily Kaiser, Susan Fogg, Garic Kirkcbo, and Kathy Jacobs know Washington as their homes. The year got otf to a hnc start with all getting acquainted over cxhibiL and rides at the Puyallup Fair. This drew them closer together as a unit. Their creativity and imagination became more vivid to the rest of the school as the year progressed, and they worked together in the different activities. The first demonstration of their creative ability was in November at the Student Couruii Dance, Calypso. Again they displayed various talents at their dance, Harlecjuin, given this winter. Their style show on charm and beauty portrayed originality and won the Headmistress ' strong approval. This also helped them to earn their class contribution to Service League. Their enduring dependability won them honorable mention and due respect as we saw them continually at work in the Library. We will never forget their cheerful faces reminding us of our overdue bcx)ks or fetching still another magazine for us for those term papers. ow as they finish this year, serving at the Prom and bearing the flags at May Day, they are looking to lar horizons. Next year they will be upper-classmen at last, meeting more responsibilities and striving for higher goals, as they go on from Strength to Strength.

The Freshmen are full of ambition as indicated in their class song when they say, As a class we have got lots of pep. This year the Freshmen added to their class Didi Carstens, Carol Craft, Nina Engl, Pat Gibson, Sandy Mc- Crea, Lynnc Rubush, Bernice Soleway, Linda Tompkins, Clay Towne, and Nancy Russell, who joined the class after Christmas. With the leadership of Jane Hult, Shirley Cartozian, and Margaret Woodhams, the class has a unity, which we have observed day by day. With this and the help of their captains, Lynne Rubush and Peggy Yates, their big project of the year, the Magazine Drive was a huge success. With tremendous determination they far excelled the profits made in previous years. When the class of 60 joined the Upper School, they had many things to look forward to, one of them being making preparations for the Freshman-Sophomore Hop. The theme of the dance was Harlequin with decorations in pink and red to carr ' out the theme. All was very well done to our great satisfaction, and we all had dates in spite of the sno Lastly, the Freshmen shou. ; i . n i . u. u ; i n ll.uiMUdi k ;, which they so proudly presented, and as a result won the cup. Their skit was When the Satans Come Marching In. Bette Bergman, St. Peter, and Mitzi Weiss, his wife, had a very difficult time persuading the people that life would be more pleasant with them than with Ditli Carstcns, the Devil, and Tamar Griggs, his wife, and in the end the temptation was too great. GoikI luck to you, iTCshmcn. y x say. May each challenge be a victory, till we prove wc cannot be excelled. You have proved it to us, and may you always be victorious. 1 ft Top to Bottom: Left Row Stairs: Janet Thompson, Suzanne Copeland, Jo Ann Amick, Susan Hemingway, Iris Briedis, Michael Stevens Susan Morgan, Lael Harris.

This has been the result of sacrificial gifts of time and substance of the friends of the Seminary. It began on January 15, 1957, with the ground breaking ceremonies, first in the chapel to ask God for his guiding hand, then outside in the bitter cold to break the ground. The Bishop began the ground breaking, followed by the Headmistress, the Board of Trustees, the Student Body President, and finally the rest of the Student Body with their little red shovels. This day marked a momentous occasion in the history of the school. Marcia Aronow Judy Ashby Nana Ashford M.irtine B.ilccr I MUth I. in iscn Ann Cilley Sandra Clark Nancy ( . Susan ( Diane .

The s of the T.A.S.C girls echo throughout our sc They are a vital part of our life as they give themselves daily and spread a spirit of service t( others. Through Service League we form a closer bond of friendship with the outside world. It makes us more aware of the needs of people, and therefore, makes us more will- ing to share. We have become interested in India by helping three Indian girls to further their education, thus raising the status of women in this country. In Ceylon, we are help- ing to support an orphanage by buying food and clothing, and in Japan, through the Diocese of Olympia, we are aiding the Olympia Day Nursery. In all parts of the world we are helping students to further their college education through the World University Service. This year our money helped students of Hungary in their dramatic revolt against Communism. Our major project is the Kiyosato Educa- tional Experiment Project, under the direction of Colonel Paul Rusch. Here a small group is demonstrating to the Japanese people not only better farming methods but the real meaning of Christian living. S.A.C. is the governing council of the Athletic Association. It spon sors our athletic endeavors and many school functions such as Hal loween, Easter, Dad ' s Day, and May Day. Every Annie can well remember the fall Hockey games between the exalted Blue and Gold teams.

Raynor Guild has its meetings on Tuesdays, but I do not think of Tuesday as Raynor Guild s Day. VC ' hen I think of the Guild, the Thursday evening work parties come to my mind. The care and upkeep of the Chapel is the Guild ' s special privilege. Once a week then, we are each given a duty either in the Sacristy or in the Chapel itself and, because we are working in God s house, in God ' s sen ice, what we do does not seem like work. It is rather our expression of joyful praise. Mr. Wriss, AJtisor; Marcia Aronow.

A burst of applause; that final curtain call; a moment of triumph! Masque did it again with the aid of her beloved Director, Mrs. Monks. The fall term of 1956 began with the tryouts and initiation of new members. Fresh enthusi- asm, kindled that day at initiation, burned forth from the candle of creativity the whole of the year, giving inspiration to all her endeavors. Because of the large number of members, The Masque Players were divided into two groups. Mrs. Chapman led the second group with Susan Richards as Student Chairman, presenting a lively performance for the enjoyment of the Student Body. CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN was the annual play, and it was a hit; sentiment and humor bound into one. Masque used a new system this year. She held innum- erable work parties in her treasured Masque Room to learn the skills and gimmicks of showmanship. The curtain came down at the annual Banquet, the year ' s successes fading back stage, but the echo of applause still resounding in her ears.

More than the remembrance of the tangible help, the good meals, the cocoa and doughnuts after swimming, the sack lunches for trips, we will remember the friendship you have made here and the twenty-one years of devoted service you have given The Annie VCriL ' ht Seminary. Miss Bess Lewis 1890- 1957 Teacher of English and Religious Education In grateful remembrance of the devoted service which Miss Lewis gave to us during her ten years of inspirational teaching at The Annie Wright Seminary, and of her con- stant love for the School. ma yi lat Hail to thee our Alma Mater, . ' Tiinary Fair; M.iv achievements crown thy labors Is our earnest prayer. Deep and true as those blue waters Thou art reared above, May the characters thou moldest Hold thee in their love. Pure as yonder snow.clad mountains Where our glances fall, May we in the years to follow, Answer to thy call. Chorus: Hearts turned toward our Alma Mater, May our lives at length Prove thy daughters bear thy motto On from Strength ro Strength.
