The ,iubilees have been particularly frequent. this year as our younger graduates have gone forth to outstanding posts of leadership in colleges from the Atlantic to the Pacific. We had a whole handful of class presidencies and many social as well as academic honors. We who are still at Oak Grove not only feel the thrill of these announcements as Mrs. Owen makes them, but we feel a great inspiration to carry on the torch and provid-e a beacon for those who follow us. We know our School expects the utmost from each one of us and we felt a real thrill at one Collection as Mrs. Owen was talk- ing to a group of Seniors about college plans for another year when she smiled and remarked facetiously, You must remember that since there is only one presidency possible in the same class, not more than two of you should go to the same college. Leadership, socially and academically, is expected of us, but more than that, real character is expected of us. We are told again and again that it is the high integrity of our characters, rather than the outward honors, that our Alma Mater cares most about as we go out from these beloved halls. ADVENTURES IN LIVING Every day we meet and forget p-eople, and of the hundreds met in a year, very few would ever be remembered after a few months, but I am certain that any day will go down in our memory books of life as the begin- ning of greater happiness when we find a personality which seems to broaden, inspire and brighten our whole being. Then we have found a friend, and friendship is one of the two most beautiful experiences in the world. 4 OAK LEAVES There is something in the very fibre of our being that thrills to the majestic glory of a sunset, to the harmonious chord of a great symphony, to the rhythm of the unfathomable tides, to the delicate grace of a snow- fiake. These draw us, because in some intangible, inexplicable way, they find a spiritual response in our spiritual selves. Experiences like our re- sponse to b-eauty in all its varied forms are spiritual realizations and once experienced, are ours forever. There is littl-e that We are capable of saying about these unsought experienc-es in the realm above th-e material, where our real selves find their true expression or response. Both friendship and spiritual experiences are closely linked and friendship may often be a stepping stone -to a greater power in living abundantly. F. W., '36. ANOTHER VOLUME FOR THE OAK GROVE CASE When Briggs Hall was built our Principals with prophetic vision and proud confidence in th-eir girls insisted that the architects include in the library a special bookcase reserved for volum-es written by Oak Grove Girls. One of the newest to arrive is Solo Flight by Beatrice Hussey, '32, who has just sent us a copy of her first edition With a dedication to her Alma Mater. It is a charming little volume and We extend our congratulations with the hope that she may have many others in the bookcase of Oak Grove. WHEN IMAGINATION FAILS Anticipation, they say, gives a keener s-ense of enjoym-ent than realiza- tion. If this is tru-e, it is because our imagination paints the future with such rosy colors that when the event really happens, it seems faded and uninteresting by contrast. There are some experiences in life, however, which are completely satisfying, and because of the subtle spiritual way in which they reach our lives, it is impossible for us to anticipate them, and therefore, their realization is always more joyous and satisfying than We could have imagined. A kind word, an und-erstanding smile, the clasp of a friendly hand, a moither's love, and all spiritual adventures make life more beautiful, more dynamic, more joyous. 5 OAK LEAvEs Qld AY J I - l . 1,53 4-1,5 I Ll l R I ' dmiigwx irtgagmlvign U - pug.. vang' -'I A LATO roam - :inet tonm BANK mum V- uni -.,.,- .-. . .

'N Q - W QOH - ADDRESS TO UNDERGRADUATES In a recent biography of Jane Addams, there is a delightful story of her childhood when she was dreaming night aft-er night that she was the sole person in the world and that some day she would have th-e responsibility of starting a wheel in the affairs of the world. In her waking hours as in her dreams, Jane Addams always felt her responsibility in life as sole. She never stopped turning wheels in her efforts to make the world a hap- pier, finer place. As we, the graduating class of 1936 come to our Commencement exercises, we should like to leave with you, dear Undergraduates of Oak Grove, something of the philosophy of lif-e that we have gained from our experiences as we have lived here together. It is the task of us who are graduating to help make real advances in establishing a better world. It is the task of you dear Undergraduates whom we leave at Oak Grove to carry on the work of making this school a wonderful example of under- standing and friendship. There is no limit to what can be accomplished if you, as Undergraduates, begin the new year n-ext September with the real Oak Grove spirit. Loyalty is one of the first prerequisites for fineness of individual character and of helpfulness in a group. There can be no traitors in your group if it is to realize its finest and happiest possibilities. As we go on through life, we find that there are many influences that determine our successg but today I should like to speak to you of three that have a special influence during your boarding school days,-your attitudes towards your studies, your recreations and your friends. It would help us all very much if we could only realiz-e early in our student life that our studies are not something designed to punish us or to keep us from other activities we might prefer, but rather that th-ey are to provide the informa- tion and the training necessary to fit us for greater success, happiness and service. 6 OAK LEAVES There are countless persons who feel that the real quality or lack of it in a girl is shown as quickly in her recreation as anywhere else. If she takes unfair advantage in a game, is sulky when an opponent wins, or exults when a victory is hers, we know that her nature is selfish and un- lovely. A Good Sport is considerate, unselfish, and absolutely fair. It is very likely, dear Undergraduates, that th-e sam-e qualities which you d-evelop in your hours of recreation will be those qualities which determine your success or failure in later life. There are some students who are honest and faithful in regard to their studies, who will play a game with fairness and yet do not get along amiably with their associates. Unless we can rejoice as much in the success and happiness of a friend as we can in our own, th-en there is a jealousy in our natures which should be eliminated. If we could only cultivate generosity, if we could just remember that we have faults as well as our roommate, then we would be more forgiving and less critical. Some of the greatest inspiration and most lasting joy in life comes to us through our responsibility to be just that type of friend to somebody else. In one of his meditations, Kagawa says, Nothing lifts us upward except the power which comes from within- If this philosophy is true, then we must realize that much of our success and happiness in life depends upon our own attitudes or the spirit in our hearts. You who are Juniors will be studying Ruskin's essays next year and in King's Treasuries, he tells you who is advancing in life. We cannot wish anything finer for you than that as you continue at Oak Grove you are truly advancing in life so that your school is a finer place in which to live because you are a part of it. And now, dear Undergraduates with whom we have worked and played during these months that have sped by so swiftly, we leave Oak Grove in your care, 'believing sincerely that you will give careful thought to the profbl-em of human relations as it conc-erns you individually, as it concerns Oak Grove, and as it concerns your contri-bution to the world. A magnificent personality is the one that is really advancing in life and is the one tha.t can reveal as fine a spirit of service as Jane Addams did. May each of you feel the same responsibility that came to her to make the world better because you are a part of it. FLORENCE WORTH, '36. 7 OAK LEAVES LOVELY ARE OUR GARDENS AND FAVORITE NOOKS OAK LEAVES LOVELY THINGS Into my heart's treasury I slipped a coin That time cannot take Nor a thief purloin, Oh, better than the minting Of a gold-crowned king Is the safe-kept memory Of a lovely thing. Lovely things-a full moon rising slowly from behind a silver cloud, a scarred pine rustling in a summer breeze, first green grass in the spring, the tang of blue wood smoke, the song of a robin after rain, the smile of a mother, the strength of a snow-crowned mountain, the grace of a stretch- ing tiger, the flight of a gull, blue, lblue sky and white, white clouds, dew- pearled webs on the grass in an early morning, a half-blown white rose, the laugh of a golden-haired child, the blush of a girl in love, a road wind- ing over a hill, the sparkle of sunlight on waves, a white-cap on a tumbling green wave, a sail with a friend, a smile-a glimpse into the soul of one you love, these are lovely things. They are mine, and nothing can take them from me. Though I become old, I shall hold these forever in my heart. ETHEL WENTWORTH, '38. STEPPING STONES FROM STUMBLING BLOCKS From the security of our Oak Grove hilltop overlooking the Kennebec valley, we had been watching the old river with casual interest as it grew wider and widerg but being a mile above its banks, we could not possibly comprehend the anxiety with which others might watch the rising waters. With the carefree inexperience of youth, we were thinking how pleasant it was to be perfectly safe when w-e suddenly discovered that the lights would not turn on in our rooms. The current had been cut off where it crossed the river in the city above us. Word went quickly through the halls that we were invited to a formal dinner by candlelight and were asked to dress promptly before it was dark. A real surprise awaited us when we came from dinner to find our Assembly Hall quite transformed with a lovely arrangement of crystal and silver candelaibra in which tall white tapers were burning. We were welcomed to a Colonial Party and invited to imagine ourselves in the days of Martha 9 OAK LEAVES Washington. It might have been easy to grumble and complain at our in- convenience, but in the spirit of Oak Grove, a handicap had been sublimat- ed into an opportunity and we realized the truth of the philosopher who declared, It is not life that matters, it is the way we meet it. Could a more poignant sorrow come to any musician than that which would accompany deafness? Although his heart seemed broken and his soul torn, yet Beethoven triumphed over this handicap to give us music that will continue to pull at our heartstrings until the World is no more. We Will all meet these bafiling situations whether in the shape of mere inconveniences that are temporary or real tragedies that are lasting. It is for us to rise above them in a glorious way as Beethoven did. Once upon a time there was a young painter who had a genius in drawing and longed to paint, but his family was too poor to buy any materials for him. Undaunted, the young Titian used the juices of flowers for his colors and the walls of his father's humble cottage for his canvas. It is true that all our names may not be found in later editions of Who's Who, but it is equally true that our ability to face our stumbling blocks courageouslyg to say to them triumphantly, Behold our opportunity g and to persist in surmounting thos-e stumbling blocks with a joyous and triumphant spirit will mak-e each of our lives more worthy of mention, and will be the one thing more certain than anything else to bring us lasting happiness. If the electrical current is cut off, we must immediately seize an opportunity for a delightful Colonial party. If one road to our desired goal is lost, We must blaze a new trail to the goal of our heart's desires. Would Titian have learn-ed the minute details of color pigments had it not been necessary for him to blend so carefully the colors of his wild flowers? Could Beethoven have put his torn soul into immortal music if he had not first had a torn soul to express? One ship drives East and another West, While the self-same breezes blowg 'Tis the set of the sail and not the gale That bids them where to go. Like the winds of the air are the ways of fate As we journey on through lif-eg 'Tis the set of the soul that decides the goal And not the storm or the strife. GWEN CONEY, '36. 10 OAK LEAVES AMBITION REPOSE BRING TO ME MY BOW OF BURNING GOLD TWO MOODS Leave me not Within this purple twilight, Give back to me my crimson Wings, So I may soar into that realm of light, Where genius sings. Hear once again great thoughts of high degree, Which have be-en Wrought into a symphony Throughout the years. The sunset turns to gold the Western sky, The trees and bushes at my door Reflect the burnished lustre from on high,- Why ask for more? Upon my hearth, logs sing their humble tune, The house with candlelight is dressed, And when at night there shines a crescent moon, I am at rest. 11 M.M OAK LEAVES FOR THOSE WHO SEE I never know the colors of the sunset that Nature will etch upon her great canvas, in a picture that will fill me with a deep sense of awe and humility as I witness the work of a wondrous Artist. When I awake in the morning, I never know how soon I may receive a fleeting -but heart-warm- ing and never-to-be-forgotten smile from some friend who desperately needed a word of encouragement just when things seemed diiiicult. I never know when I may see a lark soaring fearlessly into the blue of a summer sky and singing as it flies. I never know as I walk through a wooded lane when the fragrance of wild flowers may drift by, blown by tendrils of gentle breezes. I never know when the turn in a country road may bring me to a windblown field of nodding daisies, or when an early morning view from my window may reveal the dew like fairy silk spun on the morning grass. This beauty I have seen, beauty that has made me know there is some great power beyond our comprehension, some Divine source that scatters beauty everywhere for those who have eyes to see. AUDREY EVERETT, '36. BRIDGES Have you ever thought that 'bridges are like footpaths in the air? No history tells who 'built the first one, but Nature herself must have been man's teacher. Perhaps he saw a ready-made bridge where a tree had fallen across a stream. Perhaps he crossed in the air above by clinging to a twisted vine. Many times he must have gone far out of his way to find a shallow place or great boulders where he could jump from one to another until he had reached the opposite bank. Then there came a day when the genius of man rose and he was no longer dependent upon finding a place where Nature provided a bridge. He himself piled stones until they were higher than the water, and by and by he learned to place logs or a fallen tree across them. Centuries passed and gradually man developed skill in building real bridges. The ancient Romans developed the building of bridges to a fine art with strong arches that still exist today. The Roman models were followed by other nations, but gradually the wooden bridges were replaced by a combination of iron and timber with foundations of masonry. With the building of heavy trains, there was a new strain upon the bridges which called for the greatest science in order to prevent accidents. Today the majority of the great bridges of progres- sive companies are built of steel and masonry. .Some are of incredible length and endurance, spanning great rivers and extending so high in the air that the trans-Atlantic ships may sail beneath their spans. It is inter- esting to see how similar are the progress of civilization and the develop- ment of engineering skill in building bridges. R. C., '36. 12 OAK LEAVES THE VOWS Her face alight with holy smile, Her body clothed in virgin white, Like the lilies on her arm, up the church aisle She comes, her sacred troth to plight. And he is th-ere erect and strong To pledge, as loving hands they clasp, To guard her from all worldly Wrong As long as both their lives shall last. E. W., '36 AESTHETIC CLASS INTERPRETING BEETHOVENS MOONLIGHT SONATA 15 OAK LEAVES FEATHER MOON A moon, more like a feather than a moon, Was spilling silver in a careless way, Upon a pine tree, where it stood blue-grey In shadows from the hill. A World so still The thought of you came like a rushing wind, Untying shadows that had lain half-pinned To earth, and bruising through the evening air, Which lay as quiet as a grey-eyed pool, Wrapped in soft shadows, purpl-e-tinged and cool. Almost, I thought I had forgotten youg I had supposed a feather moon was quite Enough. You came: and everywhere the night Drew by, and framed a background for your face. Slip of a thing, you swayed beneath those trees Whose branches only stir for stoutest breeze, And I, who hold no faith in phantom ghost, Watched your slim finger push aside the veil Of clinging memory, and saw you, frail As breath of summer wind, stand clearly there. Wing of a bird against the quivering leaf, Falls no more lightly than your glance, as brief As drifting flakes oct' winter's snow. You smiled-I think-and, stir of wind, were gone, While over the sky a passing cloud was drawn, That dipped the world in sudden velvet dark. Now, I have always fear lest I shall see A feather moon spill silver on a tree. M.M. - OCCIDENT AND ORIENT Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's Great Judgment Seat. These prophetic lines of Kipling are so often quoted only in part that many persons know only the first line that gives an impression quite unlike the complete thought of the two, and immediately raises the question in our mind whether the Orient and the Occident could become as one. If such a thing be possible, there must be something in common between the two, 14 OAK LEAVES but today the differences far outnumber the similarities. The attitude of a people is determined by its religion, art, government, customs, and geo- graphical location. Can an ancient civilization, such as that of fChina, lbe expected to com- prehend the pioneer spirit of a nation as young as America, unbound by traditions and daringly ready to try new schemes? Can India, despite her British rule in recent generations, ever give up her old halbits and castes to open her mind to the greater freedom and democracy of the West? Is there any possibility that th-e English language can coiv!er the distance from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean and from 1000 B.C. to 1900 A.D.? Will the pagan worshippers ever give up their sacrifices and strange spirits to unite in a Christian religion binding the whole world in a bond of fellowship? The youth of the Western world feel that this is possible. Recognizing more and more the cultural value of the ancient arts, music and literature, groups are arranging for the exchange of foreign students who change countries that they may better understand and interpret each other, and hoping the day may come when there will be an international understand- ing with arbitration when misunderstandings arise and with real coopera- tion between nation and nation. We, the youth in the West, feel that a universal brotherhood is possible if all nations can be united in Christian fellowship. There may come a day when man can forget his ancient differ- ences and all people can meet and merge as the poet saw in his vision. But th-ere is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth When two strong men stand face to face, tho' they come from the ends of the earth. THE BEACON Across the leaden northern sky, When night has shrouded th-e silent deep, And calmness bides o'er all the earth Where weary folk are wrapped in sleepg A cutting gleam shoots forth its ray- Ther searchlight sweeps across the sky, The beacon of travellers from afar- Of fearless pilots as they fly. ELIZABETH BURLEIGH, '37. 15 OAK LEAVES O TO BE AT OAK GROVE NOW' THAT SPRING IS HERE! IN A VAGABOND VEIN To live my life without dull cares Is one of my yearning desiresg To sell my wares at various fairs And play soft tunes by gypsy firesg To read the palms of foolish folk, To weave strange baskets bright and gay, To change my yoke for a vagabond's cloak And live in tents from May to May. 16 OAK LEAVES ON DOORS Doors in themselves are interesting, not only for their shape and size, for their variations in grain and finish, but for their interesting revela- tions. Anyone who studied doors might becom-e enthralled with the Way in which they resemble personalities. A door of oak, with dark, strong grain, is a man's door, suggesting a wide friendly hearth, deep leather chairs, and dark, warm rugs. Men of strong character, I think, would always like oak doors. French windows with their lacy draperies belong with the fragrance, the luxury and the leisure of an indulged girl in a home of wealth. I saw a door the other day, a gleaming white door smoothly painted, but underneath the glossy paint was a rough board whose coarseness could not be hidden by all the paint in the room. My thoughts turned, in contrast, to another door I had seen in a different home. The carefully chosen panels were finished in a natural wax that showed the grain of the beautiful tree in which they grew, and the hand of a master craftsman who had smoothed them to a satiny finish. A door in a New England farmhouse with its strength has a charm in its simplicity. Such a door is able to withstand the extremes of summer heat and winter storm, and always reminds one of the hospitality and loyalty within the home. In contrast, one thinks of the great bronze doors of the Florentine Baptistry, massive, decorative, and each panel a work of art in itself, of which a great artist said, They are fit to be the gates of Paradise. Doors are strong or weak, varnished or natural, plain or ornate-and they reveal more than a casual observer may s-ee. BEVERLY STEVENS, '36.

REBECCA GREEN, '38 19 OAK LEAVES nur ON THE SIDELINES AT OUR MERRY WINTER CARNIVAL PROPHET AND POET The Romans, feeling that there was a close similarity between prophets and poets, used the same word for both. In the following lines, Horace reveals himself as both: Non omnis moriar, multaque pars mei Vitabit Libitinamg usque ego postera Crescam laude recens, dum Capitolium Scandet cum tacita Virgine pontifexf' Rome was vanquished by the vandals and overrun by other invaders, its Forum has long been in ruins, and its proudest palaces, -buildings and monuments have crumbled, but his poetry has lived on and Horace is acclaimed as one of the greatest Roman poets. This year we are celebrating the bimillennium of his birth, and Latin students in universities and scho-ols all over the world are writing essays about him, and odes to him, in competition for prizes given in his name. Horace was born in a small town named Venosa or Venusia, as the old Romans called it, but it was a straggling village and the only reason it is heard of at all today is because Horace was born there. In his time, social 20 OAK LEAVES A distinctions were very marked, as they were again later in France in the Eighteenth Century. The three chief classes were the Senatorial, which included the men who held offices, the Knights or rich class wh-o held the power, and the Plebs, such as schoolmasters and tradesmen. Th-ere were also the Freedm-en, servants who had either bought their freedom or been given it as a reward from their masters. Horace's father was a Freedman. After the elementary training in Venusia which includ-ed the study of arithmetic, penmanship and the Classics for five years, Horace was sent to Rome and placed in a select school for boys. This secondary education included th-e study of Latin and Greek, with much stress on poetry. Horace livde to see his own posetry used as a text in this school. The curriculum also included geometry, dancing and music. His secondary education was followed by an earnest study of rhetoric and the art of public speaking. He was then sent to Athens to study Greek literature and philosophy. This was about a year before Caesar was murdered. When Cassius and Brutus came to Greece, they enlisted a great many students in their army and Horace was among them. He ros-e to the position of Tribune under Brutus. Horace had many friends after he returned to Rome, and among these was Virgil who introduced the young scholar to Gaius Calinius Maecenas the leading patron of art. For about thirty years, or until Maecenas died, he remained the dominant influence in Horace's life introducing the young poet to prominent friends, and securing from the Emperor Augustus a grant of land on the Sabine for Horace. He often refers in his poems to this lovely Sabine farm Where his life was quite idyllic. Reveille was sounded at six o'clock and breakfast was served at nine. It consisted of bread, dried fruits and honey or cheese. The fresh morning hours between six and nine o'clock were spent in study, work or writing. Horace usually went for a short drive just ibefore the informal noon- day meal and followed it with a short siesta in one of his favorite spots beneath a shady tree or beside a quiet brook. Guests were usually invited to dinner which often lasted from four o'clock until seven. Conversation was stimulating at these dinners as they discussed philosophy, politics and literature, but never repeated gossip or scandal. Through Horace's poems, we glimpse the simple life of the Romans, the conditions in which they lived and some of their innermost feelings. As a moralist, h-e wrote poems disapproving anything hypocritical, preten- tious or insincere. One of his most amusing and witty satires describes an attempt to free himself from a bore who accosts Horace on the street and claims to be a long lost friend. In his odes on civic virtues, integrity, simplicity, faithfulness, consistency and endurance, w-e find qualities that mark him as Poet Laureate of Rome. From his book The Art of Poetry come more quotations than from any other poem of less than five hun- dred lines. Virgil tells us about the geography of his age, but Horace is the man 21 OAK LEAVES who has brought us closest to the Roman people as individuals, relating innumerable facts concerning their lives and revealing the modes of life in both city and country. There is something human in Horace which is per- haps accountable for his widespread popularity. For two thousand years, Horace has kept his place in the hearts of all who love lyrics and satires, fulfilling the prophecy in his third book of odes that his po-ems would live forever, and truly deserving the bimill-ennial honors which we are giv- ing him.

UENSEIGNEIMENT FRANCAIS ET AMERICAIN On dit quelquefois que l'enseignement francais est m-eilleur que celui des Etats-Unis. Cela depend de la personne. Bien entendu, on s'accoutume at Penseignement de son pays, et peut-etre, ne peut-on pas voir celui d'un autre pays. Les ecoles francaises ert americaines se ressemblent un peu, tous les deux ont des trimestres a la fin desquiels il y a dies examens dans tous les 24 OAK LEAVES sujets. Les sujets aussi, comme chez nous, sont l'histoire, les langues vivantes, les mathematiques, le latin, les sciences. Mais Patmosphere dans les ecoles francaises est differentei. Les eleves ont toujours un respect profond pour leurs professeurs. Ils se levent quand un professeur entre dans la salle. Ils ne voient pas les prof-esseurs en dehors de la classe, pas meme pour expliquer des lecons. Il n'y a pas de sentiment de camaraderie entre les deux. Afin dfapprendre une lecon il faut que l'ecolier Vetudie beaucoup, et puis, le professeur Pexplique seule- ment une fois. Apres cela, si l'ecolier ne la comprend pas, il lui faut se debrouillerf' Les eleves ne vont presque jamais au cinema. Ils etudient beaucoup et quand' ils veulent se reposer ou jouer un peu ils vont souvent a la campagne. Il y a quelques sports comme le football, la natation et Pescrime dans lesquels ils s'interessent. Les jeunes gens aiment les discussions des sujets politiques et litteraires, mais ils n'ont pas de clubs. En Amerique on etudie, mais on ne travaille pas trop! Il y a beaucoup de sports. La vie dans les ecoles est plus libre-elle n'est pas si precise. Je pense que pour le savoir seulement, Venseignement francais est meilleur. Apres avoir passe son baccalaureat, les eleves francais peuvent raisonner et penser. Mais dans notre ,pays nous sommes equipes physiquement, et aussi intellectuellement pour la vie generale. L'un a la discipline interieure, l'autre a la discipline exterieure. L'un est la France, l'autre est les Etats- Unis! W 5 192, is 25 OAK LEAVES FROM OUR YOUNGER PENS VIGNETTES OF CHINA THE TEMPLE The steep, rocky road suddenly made a turn and young Chun-g Mai found himself in the large open court before the temple. He had come all the way from Hangchow to worship at the great temple of the Goddess of Good Crops. Tall, silky green bamboo trees lifted their tapering branches far above the temple roof. A cool breeze' faintly swayed the lacy leaves as they drooped in a natural roof for the open court. As Chung Mai entered the main room of the temple, he saw a large overpowering gold idol with six arms towering far above him. A circle of solemn pri-ests sat with bowed heads before a smoking altar. The deep thumping of a drum kept time to the low chanting of the priests. Dressed in long, dark, dusty robes, they continually touched their shaven heads to the floor. Faded robes of rare old silk were draped around the many gods which lined the walls. The sickly sweet smell of incense mingled with the dusty odors of the ancient temple. Amidst this, Chung Mai knelt and prayed. A CHINESE JUNK Dusk is creeping gently up the Yangtze River and a heavy dark junk is slowly making its way against the swirling current of the muddy waters. Its paint peel-ed off the sides long ago, exposing the rotting wood beneath. Once when the junk was young two eyes had been painted on the front to watch out for the lurking evil spirits, but now the eyes are worn dim and can barely be seen. It seems as if the old boat is blind and wandering around unprotected in the cruel, mysterious waters. Green weeds have collected on the bulging sides Where the Wood is Worn and discolored. Tall dark sails with their many patches of different colored. materials are outlined against the sky where a pale new moon hangs in the West, but the slight wind is not enough to move the mouldy old boat. It has been the only home the Tung family has ever known, and they have lived in it all their lives. The force of the Yangtze against it is stronger than the wind they had hoped would carry them up the river, so Mother Tung and her children are straining their backs, pulling on a huge oar which extends from the rear of the junk. As they struggle, Father Tung sits in comfort on a little stool smoking a long pipe. At last the boat moves through the dark water which is filled with filth that seems to push stronger against th-e old junk. A large steamboat passes and the dingy junk, creak- ing and groaning, is swayed by the waves. The moon droops -behind the trees, stronger breezes fill the hanging sails and Mother Tung sighs with relief. Soon a slight smell of cooking food drifts from a dark opening in the center of the boat. This dreary hole is the kitchen, living room and bedroom of the Tung family in their junk on the Yangtze River. 26 OAK LEAVES MANDARIN AND GIRL FROM CHINA WITHIN OLD WALLS The crumbling wall around the city of Hangchow hides most of its beauty from the outside world. In ancient days the wall was used for pro- tection, but now it is a winding line of old and mellow vines which cover the wleatherbeaten gray stones with their clinging gr-eeness. Within the wall, lanes of tiny white houses nestle close to each oth-er, their curving black roofs shading the narrow streets. Throngs of happy, colorful life weave in and out among the cobbled streets. Then the lake of Hangchow, the most beautiful lake in China! Little green islands float here and ther-e on the smooth surface. A patch of p-earl pink water lilies nod slowly up and down as the lake gently sways. Sprays of cloudy weeping Willow trees droop, oh, so close, to the twisting edge of the dark green water. The leaves lean in graceful arch-es toward the water as if they were yearning to touch its coolness, and peer down into its limpid depths. Capricious little boats with brightly colored canopys Hit in and out among the islands, or drift in lazy peacefulness among the Water lilies. Three sunny islands are clustered so close that a crooked little bridge daintily connects them. At the far end of the lake a blue-green hill rises, and at the summit is the bright red temple of the Goddess of Peace who seems to stand guard over the lake with all its native beauty. ' MARJORIE Guss, '38. 27 OAK LEAVES MEDITATIONS BY THE SEA I love to walk by the sea alone To watch the waves race on the shore To see Hung spray, hear Winds that moan, To p-eer at gulls that skyward soar. A sand dune is a capital place Where I may watch .sails plunge and rise Like kites that follow th-e gay wind's race To far horizons of fair skies. As musingly at them I gaze, The cares that bind and fetter me Seem suddenly like merest haze! They fly like phantom ships to sea. B. B., '38. OUT OF MY WINDOW Each night when out of my window I look Five stately pines I see, That sway to and fro, in the evening fbreeze, Gracefully bending and bowing, Like lords and ladies at a grand ball in days of old, Their robes are ermine snow, and icicles, Which glitter in the moonlight. And while the moon shines brightly Their great shadows dance As they gracefully bend and bow in a phantom minuet. J. Z., '40 BY THE SEA I was alone with the sea at twilight while I sat watching the ghost-like seagulls as they swooped gracefully down to the water. The waves came gliding softly toward me and murmured as they slipped away over holes that children had made while playing in the sand, leaving little pools that I loved to dip my hands in. As far out as I could see, white caps were tossing like little bo-ats and on a reef beyond the crescent beach, billows swept against the rocks wearing white foaming caps. On a reef near me, th-e waves were chanting their sundown prayers and the music of their hymns made me dreamy, as the mists of the sea floated over the waves like a soft grey veil. As the wind whispered to the listening rocks, I knew I heard the voice of a friend. M.

S. 41 OAK LEAVES seriooh NOTES :nom '3-1 POSTGRADUATE NOTES We have been happy to avail ourselves of the added privileges that come to Postgraduates and Seniors at Oak Grove. The year has been a delightful, happy and worthwhile one for all of us whether we were here for added preparation for the college of our choice, for the graduate course in Secretarial Science, or just for a happy year in which to find ourselves. We are inclined to agree with those who say that th-e Postgraduate group this year has been one of the finest ever known. We were delighted when Miss Ball consented to serve as our Class Teacher. The following officers were elected at the opening of the year: President, Ellen Watson, Vice President, Genice Noyes, Secretary, Ellen Joyce Chapman, Treasur-er, Beverly Stevens. The Thespians in our class had an immediate opportunity to display their talent, for we had not been at Oak Grove three days before we dis- covered that we were expected to give the first class play. Barrie's Rosfzlind was a happy choice and a real success, with each actress handling her part professionally. Not all of the dramatics took place at Oak Grove, how-ever, for our class has enjoyed numerous parties during the year whenever any- thing worthwhile has come to Waterville. We have also enjoyed various other otf-campus activities, including a lecture at Colby College by Margaret Slattery, an address by Kagawa himself, an evening as guests of the College Club in Augusta, when we were delighted to learn that th-e speaker was none other than our own Mr. Dana. We have also been entertain-ed as a class and in small groups by Mrs. Owen and various members of the faculty. During the winter season, Mrs. Owen gave s-everal skating and sliding parties, followed by the popular refreshments of toasted sandwiches, hot chocolate and some surprise dessert which was always enjoyed. 42 OAK LEAVES As a class, we have also celebrated at least one birthday for every member and have had some real treats with tables arranged according to our fancy and talent before the blazing fire in the great Social Hall of Briggs. One of these parties was climaxed with real maple syrup from Vermont which we cooked to just the right consistency and then turned over snow to transform into the most delicious candy that could be made. We had parties, too, in honor of St. Patrick and St. Valentine, whose birth- days we added to our own. During the winter season, we were formal indeed each Sunday after- noon as we received or were received at the traditional teas. Miss Ball poured when we gave the first T-ea in the drawing room of Briggs Hall and our charming guests were very generous in the compliments which they gave us. Now we are looking forward to our famous class picnic, with all the recitals, exhibitions and festivities of Commencement. The year has been very short, but it will be long remembered. l,. .l--.T SENIOR CLASS NOTES Proud indeed were we last September to return to Oak Grove as Seniors with all the new responsibilities and privileges which we had worked for an-d coveted so long. Seven fine new girls made us the third class in succession that could boast of the largest graduating class in th-e history of the school. After Miss Raymond had sweetly consented to share all the joys and troubles of a Senior year with us, we el-ected our officers for the first semester as follows: President, Elizabeth Bleaseg Vice Presi- dent, Barbara Edmonds, -Secretary, Shirley Kaulbackg and Treasurer, Martha Richardson. Under the talented direction of Miss MacLear, we presented the amus- ing comedy, The Travelers. We received many bouquets afterwards when we served refreshments in the Social Hall of Briggs. Our class has been very socially-minded this year and we have had parties of all sorts, in all seasons, and in all places, both in small groups and as a class, choos- ing everything from feasts on the Summit, to a most formal tea when we entertained the faculty and our sister class immediately after the Christmas holidays. While there may not be as many future wearers of Phi Beta Kappa keys in our class as in som-e of the brilliant ones that have preceded or may follow us at Oak Grove, yet no one can deny that the Class of 1936 is ver- satile. Le Cercle Francais, Masque and Dirk, Choir, Leaders Class, Gym- nastic Exhibition, Riding Show, Vocal Recitals, Piano Recitals, Expression Recitals, Art Exhibit and every activity at Oak Grove has had representa- tives from our class. A list of all would make our notes like a tel-ephone directory but we must keep the tradition of including the names of our girls who Won a coveted place in the Leaders Class: Amy Austin, Elizabeth 45 OAK LEAVES Blease, Gwen Coney, Barbara Edmonds, Audrey Everett, Helen and Shirley Kaulback and Martha Richardson. When the oflicers were elected for the second semester, we chose Presi- dent, Florence Worth g Vice Presid-ent, Gwen Coney, Secretary, Audrey Everettg and Tr-easurer, Helen Kaulback. Our oflicers have been excellent this year with a loyalty and eiiiciency which has pleased us all. We cannot close the chronicle of our last year at Oak Grove without mentioning our Little Sisters who have been our care and joy for a happy year. With the addition of ea Sixth Grade, we have had younger girls than ever before and we have loved the responsilb-ility that this has brought us. We shall follow their progress through the coming years with eager and devoted interest and hope that on their Commencement Day at O-ak Grove, they may receive the honors that we know are possible for them if they always give their best to each task and opportunity. As we have closed our notes in previous years, we have looked forward eagerly to next September, but now we write th-e final chapter, with joy at having accomplished our purpose, but with ia fond emotion for our Alma Mater that has grown with th-e years and will last as long as we live. JUNIOR CLASS NOTES In one of the fairy stories that attracted our childhood, the hero or heroine suddenly discovered la secret room fill-ed with great treasure chests of jewels and precious metals, of which she was allowed to have as many as she could carry. The class editor feels some of the same bewilderment in trying to select from our chronicles, a few of the events that have made this year so rich in fun and progress for us all as Juniors with all the privileges of upperclassmen. We were happy to welcome five n-ew girls to our class. Just as soon as the Senior elections were announced, we met and elected the following officers: Faculty Adviser, Miss Evans, President, Christine Wheeler, Vice President, Alice Peters, Secretary, Elizabeth Meyer, Treasurer, Alice Stevens. M-ost to our delight, we received an invitation from the Senator to be his guests at the Colby College football game on October fifth. We accepted with alacrity and enjoyed ourselves immensely. On October eleventh, we ofiicially welcomed Miss Evans and the new members of our class at a party in the drawing ro-om of Briggs Hlall, and delicious refreshments brought a happy evening to a delightful close. As Juniors, it was now our turn to entertain the school at the annual Hallowe'en party, and with Miss Evans' encouraging help, we decorated the great Social Hall with an abundant supply of cornstalks, pumpkins, and Hallowe'en symbols, where we entertained at a gala party. When it came time for our class play, we again had th-e advantage of having an artitistic class teacher. With the aid of picturesque antiques borrowed from gen-er- ous .families in the village, our stage was not on-ly authentic but wond-erfully 44 OAK LEAVES interesting, attracting almost as much attention, after the play was over, as the production itself. We were very proud to have three of our class, Alice Peters, Beatrice Kennedy and Betty Meyer, win a place in the French plays on March twenty-first an-d again in honor of Le Cercle Francais on May ninth. One of the reasons why these girls did such clever and fluent work in the French play was doubtl-ess because of the French tables and the French Club at Oak Grove which has been very active under the fine leadership of Miss MacLear. Our dramatic honors increased when three members were selected for parts in the Masque and Dirk play, King Rene's Daughter. These girls were Mary Whitman, who had the leading part, Christine Wheeler, and Betty Meyer. We have been quite as busy in many branches of athletics as we have in dramatics this year. The following won places in the Leaders Class: Ru-th Frances Brown, Elizabeth Meyer, Christine Wheeler, and Mary Whit- man. We also had prominent parts and won honors in the Winter Carnival, have mem-bers regularly in the Choir, had some of the best work in the Art Exhibition done by members of our class, and have others who were promi- nent in both Music and Expression Recitals this Spring. During the winter season, we had the customary formal training that Oak 'Grove feels we should get in generous amounts. Immediately after Christmas, we had to prepare our formal Junior Chapel essays, whi-ch were given before the entire school. On February second, we entertained the faculty and our sister classes at a delightful tea in Briggs Hall when Miss Evans poured for us. Our decorations were white lilies. We had as much fun pre-paring for the tea and at our own decidedly informal party after- wards as we did during the hour when we were such very correct hostesses. In the preliminary contest for Junior Readings, eight of our members were selected to represent the class in the Finals on May sixteenth. These were Ruth Frances Brown, Elizabeth Burleigh, Beatrice Kennedy, Beatrice Lamphere, Lorayne Pawling, Ruth Poole, Alice Stevens and Mary Whit- man. It seems incredible that our J unior year is so near the days of Com- mencement, and we are already growing more sober as we think of the heavy responsibilities that will rest on our shoulders as Seniors next September. We are eager for the day and we hope that the experiences we have already had at Oak Grove may fit us for the dignity and service which will be ours in September. l.-.i.l1-1 SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES When we returned to Oak Grove in September, we were thrilled to discover seven new girls had joined us, and it was not any time before old and new were knit closely in one united group of jolly Sophomores. We confess that our spirits may often have been more jubilant than may have 45 OAK LEAVES XVHEN SOPHOMORES TAMED THE SHREW seemed becoming, but it has been a year when we have taken life in joyous bounds and we have loved every bit of it. We found that one of the sur- prises Mrs. Owen had promised us was an Orientation group under our new Director of Guidance, Mr. Dana, and we certainly have learned how to do some real thinking as we have analyzed situations and proposed solutions. At our first class meeting, we chose Miss Snyder as our Adviser and were very pleased when she consented to guide us for another year. The following class officers were elected: President, Marjorie Gussg Vice Presi- dent, Dorothy Robinsg Secretary, Ethel Wentworthg and Treasurer, Barbara Bradshaw. During the winter we had great fun on our moonlight skating and sliding parties, after which we w-ere graciously entertained by Mrs. Owen who served such tantalizing toasted sandwiches, delicious-and abundant enough to appease the big appetites that the winter sports gave us. 46 OAK LEAVES Soon after our Christmas vacation, we entertained the faculty and Seniors at a formal tea. The snowstorm outside gave added charm to our blue and white decorations. Everyone acquainted with the lively members of our Sophomore class would not doubt that we have excelled in athletics, music, dramatics, Choir, and even mischief but we also have some brilliant scholars in our class Who can make the Ninety List every Week. We like to think that may atone for some of our other shortcomings. From our point of view at least, by far the most important event of the year, for many of us in our entire lives, was our class play. Lacking noth- ing in ambition or confidence, and being encouraged both by our wonderful Head of Dramatics, Mrs. Green, and our loyal class teacher, Miss Snyder, we decided to present Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. Marjorie Guss was simply irresistible in the part of the rich and buoyant Petruchio, as her titian curls contrasted with her green velvet suit, while Ethel Wentworth was as clever as any one needs to be in portraying the role of the high- spirited Kate. The thing we are most proud of, however, was the fact that every member of our class had a part in the play and that not on-ce was anybody prompted from beginning to end. Each part was taken with excellence and we received so many compliments that our heads were turned round and round . In the midst of our preparations for final examinations, recitals, com- petitions, and exhibitions, we are eagerly looking forward to our annual class picnic and all the fun which that stands for. We are having such 'a good time we would like to hold the hands off the clock, and yet We are also looking forward to next fall wh-en the long anticipated day arrives that we return to Oak Grove as upper classmen with all the privileges and responsibilities which this brings to us. FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES It is true that many of us experien-ced that same queer feeling of greenness and bewilderment that seems to afiiict Fres-hmen classes every September, but it is equally true that those feelings vanished very quickly when we arrived at Oak Grove and found such cordial welcomes await- ing us. Just as soon as it was our turn, we held our -class meeting and were delighted to secure as our class teacher, Miss McVea, who has given us loads of fun this year. Our officers are: President, Catherine Andrews, Vice President, Virginia Noehreng Secretary, Betty Hoyleg and Treasurer, Catherine Osgood. The members of our staff come from seven different states and Virginia has lived in India most of her life. One of the first activities after school opened was a jolly hare-and- hound chase leading to a secret Rendezvous where a feast awaited us. 47 OAK LEAVES Songs and games followed the supper and ,then we came back to the campus weary but very happy. Soon after this, we had another high time when Mrs. Owen invited the Freshmen to have lunch with her. There was an abundance for all of us and since it was an informal party, we didn't feel obliged to refuse anything which we very much wanted. A little later, Mrs. Owen entertained us again at a different party when we were all her guests at a theatre party to see The Three Musketeers. Soon after, we enjoyed another theatre party at the invitation of an anonymous hostess for hostl when we were invited to Waterville to enjoy The Tale of Two Cities which we had just been studying in our English Class. When we heard that The Last Days of Pompeii would soon be in Waterville, we all had more interest than ever in Ancient History, and confidentially, we wanted another theatre party to add to our list. During our wonderful season of winter sports, we had a skating party by moonlight all our own. When the Winter Carnival came, some of us won skating honors. We are looking forward to more fun next year on the new rink. We had some very high ambitions for our class play, but since so many of us were taking part in Recitals and exhibitions at about the same time, our Principals thought it would be better for us to give a shorter play, and we selected The Fifteenth, Candle by Rachel Fields. It was directed by Miss Ball and was a real success. Another happy event of the winter sea- son was our formal class tea when we entertained the faculty and Seniors. Since this came so near Valentine's Day, all of our decorations were in honor of the beloved Saint. Miss McVea poured, and we had a special party afterwards which was immensely informal. We are looking forward to our first class picnic, but all feel sure that when we are Sophomores next fall, we shall still wish that we had this won- derful year to live over again. . .ii-1 JUNIOR DEPARTMENT NOTES Our school has so often been first COak Grove was the first girls' school in New England to receive a medal from the Republic of France, and first to establish a real Department of Guidance,J that every class and every girl seem to feel something of that spirit of leadership, and that is why some of us were so pleased last fall when we were a part of the first Sixth Grade at Oak Grove. Our choice for class teacher was Miss Brown and we were delighted when she accepted. Our ofiicers were elected as follows: President, Ann Costikyang Vice President, Margaret Maple, Treasurer, Ruth Newell, and Secretary, Anna Ruth Blasberg. One of the biggest surprises of the year greeted us when we returned from our Christmas vacation and discovered that the entire Junior School 48 OAK LEAVES had been moved into spacious and sunny new quarters in Briggs Hall where blazing logs in the big fireplace welcomed us to many hours of work and play. Nearby is another room where we keep all of our marionette supplies and where each girl has a little locker of her own. We were so glad that there were so many girls in our group that we had outgrown the other one. The class has enjoyed many activities such as picnics on the Summit. Nature walks in the woods, Sunday evening meetings by the fireside, skat- ing parties, Spring picnics, and birthday parties galore. Mrs. Owen has entertained us many times at supper parties, with trips to town, and some happy hours here. One evening in February, Miss Brown graciously enter- tained us at a party in honor of St. Valentine. We were royally entertained at the formal tea by the Postgraduates and a little later we entertained them in like manner. It was our privilege to christen the beautiful crystal candelabra and vases which Mrs. Owen bought so that our tea tables might have more variety and charm. Our decorations were lovely golden roses as a tribute to the graduating class. Having worked busily all the year, we at last finished our marionettes, the scenery and the stage and are ready to give 'both The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and The Squireis' Bride. We don't like to seem conceited, but we think we have done fairly well in athletics, having some of our members in the Junior Leaders Class, with every member learning to ride this year, while some have become quite clever equestrians. When we returned from our Easter holiday, we had another surprise and everyone was delighted to find la little gray bunny awaiting us. He was a trick rabbit and was taken from an empty box by a magician who pre- sented him to Oak Grove for us. We immediately named him Jay Dee, the initials of our Junior Department, and we all like our mascot very much. We can hardly wait for our first class picnic, having heard so many wonderful stories of the good times the upperclassmen tell us about. Com- mencement will soon be here and then we will be promoted to the class above. We suppose we shall b-e wiser next year and probably our teachers will expect us to do the work better, but we don't believe that w-e could possibly be any happier than we have this year with all our go-od times and interesting lessons. We are looking forward eagerly to next September and have a big welcome all ready for the new girls who will join our group. - LEADERSHIP GROUPS When the new year opened last September, some of us were a littl-e apprehensive about the new Department of Guidance and felt uneasy at the idea of revealing our hopes or plans to some stranger. Our fears vanished rapidly before the end of the first class because Mr. Dana was th-e type of man in whom we could place real confidence, not only because of his knowl- 49 OAK LEAVES pr MAY POLE AND GAY SCARF DANCE OF XWINTER CARNIVAL 50 OAK LEAVES edge but because of his enthusiasm and chivalry. During the year, by means of various tests, charts, and his own dynamic lectures, Mr. Dana has helped many of us to have a clearer vision of what We are and what we may become. We have had a five-fold objective in working out a philoso- phy of life which should beg physically efficient, emotionally well organized, intellectually alive, qualitatively active, and socially constructive. The first time we heard those five terms, they seemed bewildering to us, but now they mean something vital, and in some measure have been incorporated into the ideal life plan which each of us is formulating for herself. We have studied and discussed technique for obtaining these five objectives, and although we may never reach the really Magnificent Personality of our ideals, yet we feel that we shall be finer and mor-e helpful citizens be- cause of this course in Leadership. Ll.TT ENTERTAINMENTS-TO-BE Among th-e many things we have always liked best at Oak Grove is the way in which our Principals and teachers allow us to have a share in many plans such as giving us opportunities to have a share in planning the menus, particularly those for all our lCa.mp Suppers. Another thing on which we often vote is the choic-e of the artist who will come to us in our Entertain- ment Course, and one of those whom we selected most unanimously for next year is the Countess of Listowell who is being booked for ia date in January. An author, an authority on European politics, and an excellent speaker in clear, fluent English, the Countess of Listowell fBarroness Ennismore in the Peerage of Ireland, and Barroness Hare in the Peerage of the United Kingdoml is happily anticipated as our guest at Oak Grove next winter. 1,1.l.i-- BON VOYAGE! BON VOYAGE! Again we have a delightful chorus of Bon Voyages for the members of our family who will be traveling to far corners this summer. All of our best wishes go with Miss Snyder and Miss Raymond on their unusually interesting and far-flung trip through the British Isles, the Scandinavian countries, part of Russia and Central Europe under the delightful leader- ship of Miss Wiggin, long head of th-e International Relations Department of the National Y. W. C. A. To Mr. Dana on his proposed trip with Sher- wood Eddy, we send best wishes from all. Marjorie Guss knows that she takes a shipload of our best on her trip to Shanghai, while our excitement over the sudden plans of Jane Babcock to tour the Orient with he-r aunt this summer leaves no doubt in Jane's mind about our enthusiasm and interest. Our best wishes go with Betty Stevens who will have an unique experience visiting in the homes of European students. A thousand Bon 51 OAK LEAVES Voyages go to Catherine's parents, our -beloved Dr. and Mrs. Osgood, who are anticipating a delightful visit in England immediately after their visit with us. There are others whose plans we will hear of after OAK LEAVES has gone to press and to each and all we wish, Bon Voyage! i...- l ORIENTATION Even though our new -Director of Guidance was polit-e enough to say that our class was full of live wires, yet we doubt if he suspected how little intellectual current was Howing through the heads of som-e of us when he began to talk about electrons, positrons, cosmic processes, and an over- whelming number of rather technical things. The course has been tanta- lizingly stimulating and we have been delighted both with his pati-ence and his genial comprehension of our illogical reasoning processes. The course began with the great plan of the universe and as the weeks went by, we began to discuss our relation to it, with a growing realization of our duties and opportunities. We had great fun working out a technique for reason- ing and analyzing a situation. Some of the situations which we analyzed were imaginary, some were provided by Mr. Dana, and some were real situations we had observed. We think we are more rational now, with a clearer idea of our responsibilities and opportunities, and we are eager to go on to the new course waiting for us next year. T.T. l MAY DAY It was again May Day with all the fun and frolic, pomp and ceremony which we have woven into it and love so much. The mystery as to which of the nine maids-of-honor will be Queen, the anticipated feast of Johnny's incomparably luscious strawberry shortcake, the merry frolic on the green, the Press photographers from the daily papers, the quips of the Jester, and then the colored movies later in which we shall see ourselves as others saw us, all combine with other features too numerous to mention to make it a day that we mark in big red letters on our school calendar. Fair skies and beautiful maidens, admiring guests, the lovely Queen, and grand school spirit everywhere made this May Day one of the best we have ever known. The stately Cardinal was tremendously impressive in his genuine clerical robes and sedate step. The little crown bearer stole our hearts away. The dances on the green were charming. As is customary at the conclusion of the form-al exercises and just before the grand Reces- sional, Mrs. Owen presented the Oak Grove shields to each girl who has joined Oak Grove this year, and every tunic will wear one for the Com- mencement Exhibition. 52 OAK LEAVES XVI-IEN WE CROWN OUR MAY QUEEN The Queen and her Royal Court were as follows: May Queen, Gwen Coneyg Cardinal, Rebecca Greeng Crown-Bearer, Patricia Bailey, Herald, Marjorie Gussg Pages, Janet Maple and Sarah Jane Dunlap, Attendants, Helen and Shirley Kaulbackg Jester, Audrey Everett, and Maids-of-Honor, Elizabeth Ble-ase, June Brackett, Pauline Hanson, Virginia Jamieson, Martha Richardson, Beverly Stevens, Mary Whitman, and Florence Worth. OVER WCSH It was 6:05 P.M. in an audition room at Portland. The Director was moving the microphone nearer. We had had our final directions. Our audition was next. After a few suggestions, we repeated one part. The director smiled and left the room instantly. There were queer buzzing noises,-and it was but a fraction of a second before 6:30 on April nine- teenth. The oflicial announcer whose voice we had heard so often was speaking. Miss McVea touched the opening chords, our singing master, Mr. Nye, who is a veteran on the radio looked complacent-and the Oak Grove choir was on th-e air. Meanwhile, in the Assembly Hall at Oak Grove where our more expert dialers had been proving again and again during the afternoon that they could quickly tune in on WCSH, there Was eager expectancy as the dial was turned and the voice of the announcer came clearly over the air. Mr. Lyseth's pleasing voice paid a pretty compliment to the Oak Grove choir 53 OAK LEAVES standing there in their beautiful choir robes, we heard the opening notes and then a chorus of voic-es, clear, sweet and strong-as pleasing to us as anything we had ever heard over the radio. After the first Chorale, a college president spoke and then our own Mr. Dana spoke about the new Guidance Program that educators are beginning to think about. There was another song by the choir and a solo by Mr. Nye. It was a grand program! LIKE GEORGE WASHINGTON To his patriotic admirers, George Washington was first in everything from war to peace and particularly in the hearts of his countrymen, and incredible as it may seem, this little school in Maine that now draws its students from half way round the world is accumulating an impressive line of firsts. One of the most exciting was when the Republic of France conferred a medal upon Oak Grove in January, 1934, for the excellency of its French Department. There are many Firsts how-ever, in which Oak Grove has itself taken the lead and one of the most recent is in the estab- lishment of a complete new Department of Guidance under a trained Director with courses in Leadership and Orientation. It has been thrilling to discover so many inter-esting and unexpected things ab-out ourselves this year and we begin to see why people with exp-erience and training can un- derstand us 'better than we understand ourselves. We have had an amazing combination of both geology, anthropology, psychology, and philosophy as we have tried to comprehend something of the universe in which we live and our relation to it. 54 OAK LEAVES K.

Much to our delight we have retained 5 all of the very fine things in our previous program and added some new ones that we like ever so much. It was immediately evident that we were going to have some expert instruction in Archery under our new Director who has national honors and a gold medal in Archery. Our Principals had provid-ed some fine equipment and the Archery fans expected that they would soon be as clever as Robin Hood himself. It is a grand sport. Ten- nis and Badminton have had their devotees throughout G1' the year, while Gannett Field was an intensely popular place all the fall as we raced up and down during the daily practice and frequent matches in Hockey and Soccer that brought out the cheering sections. Those who love horses could hardly wait to try the new ones that had been added to the stables. We were all en- tranced with the firey and handsome little Midnight, while the old girls could hardly Wait to ride again such former favorites as Colonel Morgan, Sinuggler and Firefly. HOCKEY There are some of us who liked Hockey best of all in those glorious fall days when we had some exciting games as we chased that little white ball up and down the field with the abundance of good sportsmanship that has characterized all our games and activities this y-ear. The big series between th-e Scarlets and the Blacks started as soon as our preliminary games were over and great was the fun we had as first the Scarlets and then the Blacks won. The series finished with two games to each team. The Championship will he played off this spring. The Scarlet Captain was H-elen D-ee Nightwine and the Black Captain, Beverly Stevens. 60 OAK LEAVES The same thing that was true of Hockey for the Upperclassmen was just as true of Soccer for the Underclassmen who romped merrily up and down the field under the leadership of Barbara Bradshaw of the Scarlets and Marjorie Gusts of the Blacks. The Blacks won two straight games in a series of two out of three. TENNIS AND ARICHERY Our Tennis Tournament was a real one this fall with the majority of the girls competing at the beginning of the s-eries. As the matches pro- gressed, the players became fewer and the rivalry closer until the final com- p-etition when Virginia Bascom won the Championship at Oak Grove, gain- ing another triumph for the Blacks. Meanwhile, the Archery Tournament was in full swing on the green adjoining the Tennis courts. Some of the girls became so devoted to Arch- ery that they secured complete outfits of their own and we all found that the Sport was a great deal of fun. There was a special Tournament for the Junior Department and a surprising amount of talent was discovered. The Championship was won by Eve Harrington. -..l..1. -1- BASKETBALL The Basketball season was short and exciting, coming immediately after the Winter Carnival and lasting until Spring Vacation in March. With the enthusiasm some of our athletes have for basketball, their skill developed rapidly under clever coaching and the class series were soon in full swing. The games were more of a novelty this year as different class teams were combined. The Sophomores and Freshmen were feeling very proud of themselves in defeating the Postgraduates and Juniors in one game, but such luck was too good to 'be true as the Postgraduates and Juniors developed so rapidly in skill that they hadi soon won a victory from every team in school. The Blacks, captained by Elizalbeth Blease showed some brilliant playing and the Scarlet and Black Series was eventually won by the Blacks, led by Gwen Coney. Our audiences seemed to enjoy the games immensely and so did the participants. .,, .l..-- WINTER SPORTS One of the many things that every old girl eagerly anticipates at Oak Grove is that first skating party on the little pond, and our fun began this year immediately after Thanksgiving. It was soon completely eclipsed, however, by the grand new skating rink that Mr. Owen had had a crew of men construct in the fall and which was kept with such a perfect glass-like surface for us from the week before Christmas until the end of February, 61 OAK LEAVES with only three times when extra warm weather took it away from us. Never in the history of Oak Grove has there been such a grand flair for skating as this season when sixty-four competed for skating honors in the Winter Carnival alone. Snowshoeing, coasting, tobogganing, skiing,-with special instruction under experts from the White Mountains, and the exciting ski-joring kept our cheeks rosy and our spirits happy during our glorious season of Winter Sports that culminated in the Winter Carnival. T. RIDING As usual, many of the girls who would rather rid-e horseback than do anything else were out with their steeds rain or shine through every season, and when the Riding Competition came on May fourteenth and fifteenth, the practice certainly showed in the good form exhibited there. With the new daily schedule that has been so popular this year, our Riding Competi- tion was held on two successive afternoons instead of Saturday for-enoon and afternoon. Competition for the Beginners came the first day with an exhibition by K. of A. On the second day, the Intermediate and Advanced classes showed their skill as -pare-nts and friends motored from long dis- tances to be present. They were big days for those who love horses but they were most difficult days for the judges who found the competition so close that it was almost impossible to award the ribbons. The capable judges who have frequently served at Oak Grove before were quoted as saying that the Exhibition was the best they had ever seen at O-ak Grove. This was not surprising since the large classes had practiced long and hard to attain their good form. The spectators were held in suspense several times during the Competition as some of the riders did fancy stunts and daring tricks on their prancing steeds. After an extra hour for deliberation, the judges awarded the prizes at the beginning of the Gymnastic Exhibition that evening to the following lucky riders: Advanced class, Blue ribbon, Barbara Bradshaw, Red, Amy Austin, W'hite, Betty Meyerg Yellow, Doro- thy Webster. In the Intermediate class, Blue, Irina Andogag Red, Barbara Simonsg White, Agnes Costikyan. In the Beginners class, Blue, Marion Kennedy, Red, Ellen Joyce Chapman, White, Marilyn Dushane. ..,.T..... - LEAJDIERS CLASS On the evening of May fifteenth, the Leaders Class, all in flashing white, gave another successful exhibition of the skill, grace and poise that they had attained in the special voluntary classes during the year. Every- one was particularly thrilled by the opening number in which the entire school joined and which was composed of an intricate and picturesque formation when different sections of the pattern went through different 62 OAK LEAVES drills to the same music and at the same time, with colored wands, dumb- bells and Indian clubs. Those who won the coveted places in the Leaders Class are Amy Austin, Elizabeth Blease, Barbara Bradshaw, Ruth Brown, Gwen Coney, Barbara Edmonds, Audrey Everett, June Frazer, Marjorie Guss, Helen and Shirley Kaulback, Betty Meyer, Helen Dee Nightwine, Martha Richardson, Christine Wheeler, and Mary Whitman. li V ,. .......- E all I Ii.
