OAKALEAVES 1947 1 A well written letter can be fun! We learned this during a wonderful week with Mrs. Pulsifer whose visit to Oak Grove was eagerly looked for- ward to and will be long remembered. Mrs. Pulsifer feels that the fine art of letter writing has been disappearing in this modern age. It could never disappear if every school had a teacher like her. Description, exposition, narration and characterization flowed from our pens under her guiding hand at a rate which amazed even us. The most interesting, perhaps, were the purely imaginary letters when she inspired us to a wealth of creative writing we had never dreamed we might produce. During the week that Mrs. Pulsifer was a guest teacher at Oak Grove for Grades Eleven and Twelve, she held at least one private conference with each girl. These were not only helpful and instructive but also encouraging. With a whole half year left in which to practice on our parents, iwe found new joy in cor- respondence. Since even a publisher declared that our letters which Mrs. Pulsifer showed him are worth publishing, the editors of OAK LEAVES are including a group from the imaginary letters and giving them the space traditionally set aside for conventional prose. OUR NEW LETTER ROOM The radiance and charm of Mrs. Pulsifer will be perpetuated at Oak Grove in the tower adjoining the library where we came to her for our conferences. It is to be the Susan Nichols Pulsifer Letter Room, and, the first Letter Room in any school. The library in this room already includes several complete sets of letters in fine old leather bindings and the room itself refiects some of the warmth and charm of Mrs. Pulsifer's personality. The room is in process now and will be ready for a grand opening in Sep- tember. Here we shall come to write to our parents and to compose our belles lettres. 3 S 3 OAK LPIAYPIS1947 A L A it A 5 Bw? 6 1 f w be S, f A 5 9 ,Y 4 VOL.

The sun would be hot, and the sand would be dazzling, The sea would be whispering behind small fans of foam, The sky would be polished blue, radiating color, Looking more than ever like a glazed China dome. There, sitting on a special ledge, my feet in the water, Catching now and then the breeze that tiptoed through the rocks, I'd think ibut not too muchh about how silly vital things areg In my mind, I'd dissect them, and place them in a box. Then I'd throw the box just as far as I could throw it, And when I, with a smile, had seen it sink beneath the foam, I'd turn from the ocean, with a heart much lighter, Put my key in my pocket, and walk back home.

Congratulations to Oak Groves English Department and its poets, Two Oak Grove girls also won similar honors last year. 7 OAK LEAVES 1947 COOL FRESHNESSA' Blue Shadows on snow, Far distant mountains, Small, deep pools in coral shoals, Translucent glass in a New England doorway The Caribbean, A Norwegian fjord, And a duck pond underneath the willows, A fringe of morning glories on a terrace, Clear sky accented by bougainvilliag Eyes, Reflecting thoughts and telling tales, The flash of jays, The smoke of bonfires, River mist at dawng Mary's robe, And lights at Christmas, Scales on fish, A great heron stalking in a bayou, A soft room in summer, All the sights and beauty Held by distance, An everchanging misty veil of Blue. JEAN HUMASON 47 .li.i. . TIME STAYSQ WE GO? The winter sun sends pointed light that sifts Between anemic drapes and melts on walls Pastel from beams of other winter's drifts. Before the moonlight gleams and night recalls The day, a woman mellowed gray by time Will snap the final stitch as evening falls. She plucks a basting from her web, its time Of roses constant now. There is no need For bastings in a life that's passed its prime, The loosely looping threads of fragile youth Slide through the colored fabric of her life, Time pulls the final stitches tight, and truth Cuts the loose ends with its conclusive knife.

He toiled by himself On a lonely hill, Where a stream rushed by A deserted mill. As he drew from the sack The tiny white seeds, They brought to his mind Past, regretted deeds. For the poor old man Was once young and richg But headstrong and bold He made friends with a Witch. He wandered about Year after yearg And ever at hand Was his greatest fear. Till at last he discovered This lonely hilly Just he, the stream, And an old stone mill. On this lonely hill He is doomed to stayg As the last of his days Pass slowly away. JOANNA VAN ORDEN, '48, 10 OAK LEAVES 1947 EARLY STORM' Red Apples Hanging stillg November wind Driving flakes of snow In amongst the branches, Mixing white with green and red, Fine particles of dust, Twirling, twirling on, Till they lose strength And peter Slowly Out. JEAN HUMASON, '47 WINTER IMPRESSIONS Snow On the ground Piled high- Pine trees In a stately row Majestic in their beauty- Shadows Come and go, Blue and grey and lovely. Grey skies Low, shifting clouds- Then in blurry whiteness Comes the storm Of winter. Ice Dark, sparkling Scarred by steel As sharp skates glide, Race, flash across the pond While high above the trees A lovely silvery moon Slides slowly upward Among twinkling Stars. 11 E.

Ma chere Clotilde, The days grow darker now and I see the storm clouds approaching. Oh, my dear, I am fearful of the tempest when it shall let loose its fury upon us. Louis thinks my fears unjustified, but even in my sleep I now hear the hostile murmuring that grows louder day by day. In the streets below my windows I sometimes hear a soft footstep that fades away into the mist when I draw the curtain aside. Oh, Clotilde, the awful staring eyes des gens when we go out in the carriage. There is murder lurking behind their silence. I can feel it in the air. Would to God I had remained in Austria where people express their feelings in words and not in this watchful stillness that breeds mad- ness in all of us. This last I should scratch out, for it savors of discontent with my own machinations. No, I am glad to be Queen of France, but yet . . . Enough of this gloom! How are Maurice and Elizabeth '? I often think of you down there au bord de la mer. Mayhap sometime we may slip away for a week with you. The summer approaches and the heat is overwhelming. And now, ma cherie, I must away. Adieu et au revoir. Marie Antoinette. Cannes, France, June 12, 1792. Ma Cherie, Into your kind letter I read so many things which distress my heart. I beseech you, do not tarry longer in our once fair capital, but come to the south with us. Paris is truly not what it used to be only a few short years ago, and I heartily recommend the gentlefolk to go to the country at this time. It may, of course, be only a slight madness caused by this new spirit cf discontent throughout the world, but I fear that none of us, not even yourself, my dear, can long withstand an outraged mob of madmen. Times are changing and we must make shift as best we can to change with them. 13 OAK LEAVES 1947 Since we are old and dear friends, Marie, I feel it my duty, in the absence of your honored mother, to bid you with the children, leave Paris immedi- ately! Louis will listen to reason from you and he may be persuaded. Ma cherie, I will earnestly pray le bon Dieu to protect and keep your Majesty for the increased glory of France. Adieu mon enfant, Clotilde, Marquise de Montparnasse. JEAN SHIRLEY Ross, '47. January 30, 1947. My dear Inky, K I dropped in on you this afternoon, but since you seemed quite busy with your housekeeping, I slipped out stealthily and will drop in for a longer visit on some later date. I hope you are enjoying good health and not diminishing too quickly. Nowadays everyone seems to be 'writing a great deal. From conversations I've heard, the girls at this school are having a special course in letter writ- ing, so we're both becoming very important. My owner has been using me constantly, and if she is not more gentle and careful I shall need a new point. Furthermore, to my great dismay, she even loaned me to a friend who scratches up my left edge terribly. I saw your cousin, Bluey, today. As you probably know, she is living in my owner's room now, and my ow'ner's roommate recently acquired a hand- some friend with whom Bluey has made an acquaintance. They are having a gay time together, and it looks as if there may be an announcement soon. Please give my best to all my friends that you see, and please urge Sharpy and Wat to come over to see me when they have time. I shall drop in on you again soon, and in the meantime, I remain, Your loving friend, Venus. January 31, 1947. My dear Venus, It 'was a pleasure to receive your recent letter. I am very sorry I missed seeing you yesterday, but I was running around all day trying to keep things in order. Lately, visitors have been dropping in at the most unexpected moments. I, too, have noticed this sudden increase in writing and have become rather alarmed in the last day or so at my rapidly diminishing size. I fear before long I shall be nothing at all, but then, like all good ink bottles, I have faithfully supplied as many people as possible with my excellent quality of ink. This morning Sharpy and Wat dropped in. They are fine but writing hard. Wat has a new lining where he began to bleed a few days ago, and now he is enjoying the best of health. Best wishes for better writing, and looking forward to your next visit. Afectionately, Inky- LOIS ALEXANDER, '47. 14 'eff ' ?'sg' .fl A in :W .' 'Q 'V .Y . .ty ,' '.

A., My dear Mrs. Lincoln: You will not know me, of course, and it is not necessary for you to even know my name. I lwrite to you on behalf of future generations, to which I belong. I live in Eternity. But I shall be born in the twentieth century, and since I shall live in the United States, I take a deep interest in its leaders and presidents. I am writing to you because I feel so sorry for your husband. Do you realize how miserable you are making him? If you knew how he hates to come home and how tired he is, you would try to control your temper. I realize that he must be difficult at times, with his sloppy clothes, his un- trained manners fespecially at the tablej and his dreaminess. I don't suppose you understand these things, being in a different class, having been brought up so differently, and being basically diiferent from him. COf course, you must know no-w that you should never have married him. Why did you not stick to Mr. Douglas? Oh, but he would not have had you, not being so good and kind as dear Mr. Lincoln.J I am certain that you have the ability to make the best of these things, to cease from nagging about them and to praise him for the wond-erful things he does and is. He needs your help now. He has overlwhelming responsibility on his shoulders. Often the wives of famous men have been their source of cour- age and strength. I could tell you what will happen in the future but I don't want you to know now. I rwant you to be a good and loving wife, for if you are not you may regret it later. In the next century, your husband will be considered one of the greatest men who ever lived. I beg you to support him and be proud of him. In the hope, Madam, that this letter may touch some vulnerable spot in your cold heart, I have 'Written Very sincerely, PATRICIA DODGE. Washington, D. C., January, 1892. My dear Miss Dodge: I received your letter yesterday, and make haste to reply. In the first place I have no idea what you are talking about. Mr. Lincoln and I are very happy together, and I have often heard it said that if he had never married me, he would not be President now. It is I who am ambitious for him, and have spurred him on to greater heights. Should not fame be the goal of every man? Alone, he would be but a lazy dreamer. Perhaps it is true that he is not often home, but he tells me himself that it is because he has so much work. As for nagging him constantly, I never nag-and I think it audacious of you to suggest it. I merely prod him on when he forgets himself, as he often does, being quite stupid in many ways. Naturally, I appreciate his good points. Who is in a better position to rec- 16 OAK LEAVES 1947 cgnize them than I? He has many-excellent taste in Women, willingness to follow my suggestions Qgenerallyh, and an even though dull temper. I am happy to hear that some day he will be considered a great man. I only hope that credit will go Where credit is due-to me. I must confess I am grieved at the tone of your letter and its open accu- sations, all of 'which I deny. I trust you will realize how mistaken and rude you were, and I shall forgive you as a good Christian should. Yours very truly, Mrs. Abraham Lincoln. 3 Maple Grove, Primevil Forest, Barnstead, N. H. My dear Daddy, When are you coming back to our nest? Mommy, brother and I all miss singing with you at night. Today a snake tried to steal Mrs. Chicadee's eggs but my brave brother, fyour sonj pecked at it and finally we were all safe again. Gee, Daddy, when I saw that snake crawling over the edge of the nest, shivers went up and down both my wings. Mrs. Redwing came over yesterday and brought us some choice worms. They were delicious. CI wish that you could have been here.J Mrs. Red- wing is the new bird who lives in the maple tree next to ours. The other day, Mommy took me to a party at Dottie Bluebird's. There was a speaker called Oscar Barnswallow who talked about The New and Speedy way to Build a Nest. Mommy copied down some of his ideas and she says it will help me to build my first nest next spring. Oh Daddy, you'll be surprised when you see me again. I have a wing spread of eight inches already. Mommy says I have to find some string and mud now to patch the nest so I'll have to stop writing. I love you Daddy, Your Daughter. fFrom a bahv robin to her father who is away on a trip., 33 Elm Street, Burton's Forest, Barrington, N. H. My loving daughter, I received your cheery letter this morning and I shall answer it quickly. My goodness, but you are growing fast! I lwill hardly know you when I come back. When I come home, a week from Thursday, I hope you will have a nice worm pudding all ready for supper because I'1l be hungry after that long trip. I have been spending my time mainly by going to lectures at the Big Elm. It is only three trees from where I'm staying, so it's a very short fly. 17 OAK LEAVES 1947 On my way up here, I met Jacky Cardinal and Billy Bluejay. They also were on their way up here so we flew together. We were frightened twice by two of those giant birds that are called airplanes. They must be very tame, though, because we saw one on the ground with men crawling all over it. You didn't tell me whether or not you had a good time at Mrs. Bluebird's party, but I imagine that you did. Were the catbird twins there? When I come back, I'l1 bring you, mother and brother something nice. I don't know yet what it will be but I'll find something. I'll be looking forward to seeing you all a week from Thursday. Love, Daddy. P. S. I'm glad that brother was so brave the other day. PATRICIA CALEF, '48. Somewhere On the Earth January 31, 1947. Dear Mummie Cloud, Do you remember that crisp dark night fwhen all the sky was speckled with stars, and I left you to start out on my first long journey? I 'went slowly at first, drifting here and there, all around me were my little play- mates, flurrying, dancing, and twirling. As I descended towards the earth, the twinkling stars vanished and the gleaming lights of earth beckoned below. Then there appeared among us a big owl, who caught a multitude of my companions on his wings, and carried them upward from whence they came. 18 OAK LEAVES 1947 Ahead of me loomed a house all brightly lighted. As I passed one of the windows, I peeked in, before falling upon the ground with all the other little crystals, knowing in my heart, which was quickly melting, that I would never return to you, up there in the sky, and never relate to anyone what I saw as I passed the window. Lovingly, Snowflake. Floating Island Up In The Sky January 31, 1947. Dear Snowflake, Don't be so sad little one, of course I remember that night you left me for your first journey to earth, but it wasn't your last. Soon you will evaporate and then kind old Mr. Sun twill pick you up and bring you gently back to your home up here in the sky. In the meantime you and all the other snow flakes have made a lot of children happy down there. Once you return, your stay won't be long, for you will soon have to venture on another journey to be followed by many more. But, you will always return after each visit to the earth, so cheer up and enjoy life while you're there. In the meantime we will be Waiting for you, your friends, sisters and brothers. I Love always, Mummie Cloud. ROXANNE CHACE, '47. 19 OAK LEAVES 1947 Some Camp in England, 700 A.U.C. To my dearest mother, Greetings. Word from Rome comes so slowly to brighten this dreary life. The beauty of our southern country, indeed, seems almost lost to me. Here, all is cold, damp, and depressing. We must stay here to do our duty, and I, as lieutenant, have the ever present job on hand of encouraging the men, but it seems at times to be almost useless. Most would prefer a good battle to this dreary camp life where boredom breeds discontent which is not easily overcome. The dark fog creeps in from the sea, and into all parts of our hearts. I need not tell you how I long for our sunshine and warmth. Rome seems far away. Often I feel strong resentment against those leaders -who prevent us from returning. Once, only, I have tasted something of my former life. We had been conducting a siege against a barrier of fighting barbarians, strange people who seem hardly men, and, having broken through their boundaries, we pursued them farther into the west than I had been before. As our provi- sions were growing scant, we turned to a southern direction, and at length arrived in Bath. Here we found, much to our surprise and pleasure, as you may imagine, an attempt to recapture something of the beauty and ease of life which prevails in our Roman cities. We spent two days in this spot, which seemed celestial in the midst of such desolation. How I wished I could have lingered there. The discus- sion of politics, forums and temples was good for my stagnant thoughts. WHEN MRS.

The road is not the road I know- Although it bends and twists the same It seems that just beyond the turn Lie things that one might learn Except by seeing them in moonlight. The night is hushed as though It Waits for me to name the tune The winds shall play. Tonight the moon Is cream cheese more than ever, And anything Can happen, for Tonight the air is bright with magic, Some call it spring. PAULINE STRAWHECKER 48 U THF FFLLOVUSHIP AND FUN OF XVEEK-ENDS AT RUSFMIZRI 23 OAK LEAVES 1947 MASTERY Everywhere, along all The coasts of the World, The land has yielded to water. The rock cliffs fall away From the sea, the earth banks Crumble into the freshet. Again the oceans will master us. Their strength lies In their yielding persistence. Man has marked out His place on the earth, Died with a bloddy clod In his hand. But what hand Can hold water? What surveyor's Pin parcel the ocean? The seas turn before the plough And yield nothing With nothing to give They will gain what we have. Immortality is immersion. MY GRATITUDE No philosopher, no genius, no Socrates am I . . . Just a simple human who lives alone to die. No philanthropist, no contributor to immortality . . I laugh and love in our reality. The seasons, the people, the country and the cityg The dull, the queer, the brilliant and the wilttyg The little things, the large, the petty and the great The books, the music, the souls which never hate. How can we be sorrowful and relentlessly complain Of life's cruel savor of inflicting moral pain? We suffer, starve, we toil and we cry, But many are the pleasures that mortals do not buy. No philosopher, no genius, no Socrates am I . . . Just a simple human who lives alone to die. Knowing the anguish, the troubles and the sorrow, I humb-ly thank God for the joy of each tomorrow.

Forgotten was the pain And bruised the restraining bars, When some of thy dauntless pinions Broke, and fioated to the stars! K. S. WALKING IN FOG There is an attitude that goes with walking in fog which is as vague and intangible, and yet actual and perceptible as the fog which creates it. Both erase the harsh outlines of reality, and blend near and present objects with those farther on. Fog envelopes the body and lifts it from the visible world, 'wraps the soul in mist and carries it beyond the conscious. They blend reality with fantasy, and seen through them, it is not strange that voices are without source and hopes without basis. Both give a chance to dream without sleeping. Perhaps their only common denominator is God. Fog is a mood. Not a disturbed, wavering condition, but one that lets a person examine his own soul and feel it with his hands, with no one around to criticize irregularities or condemn individuality. Life is better for a few hours of fog when one can hear a bird and not see its cage. Fog lends its mystery to the soul and lets it peer unobserved into unex- plored corners made wonderfully light by the darkness of the fog. And yet fog is not comprised of darkness. It is the very presence of so much light that nearly blinds one-in such a state the soul is free, the body gropes in its accustomed manner. It is a relief to walk in fog where the soul reaches new paths and meanwhile finds the tangled forest lovely, covered by the mist. PAULINE STRAWHECKER, '48. THE CHILD The forest was very cold, still and gloomy on that late December evening. Icy fingers of cold seemed to creep ,through the trees, to crawl in under the fur coats of the animals and into the feather-downed birds. Nowhere could any warmth be found. The deer lay quivering in their little shelters while the partridges shivered in their leafy beds. The lwise old owl hugged his wings closer. When the night was so calm and peaceful, who would have 26 OAK LEAVES 1947 thought that so many of its inhabitants lay in cold misery awaiting the dawn? Suddenly, ouit of the night, came a light. It gleamed high in the heavens and yet it seemed close because it was so large and bright. Its light beck- oned to the freezing animals in such a way that they were compelled to watch and follow it. As the light moved away to the east, the animals moved after it, all in complete fellowship with one another, all with a single purpose-to follqw the star. The deer next to the fox, the weasels by the rabbits, the birds Hying low and circling over the animals' heads with-no fear. All were forgetful of the cold as they crossed the fields and plains of Bethlehem. They saw three camels coming over the desert with three wise- men on them, they saw shepherds. They saw many men and animals, who had been attracted by the star. As they banded together, man and beast intermingling, the star came to rest over a stable. It was a plain, ordinary stable, but it seemed to glow with an inner light. The men quietly entered the lowly place and the door was left open a little so the animals could look in and see that 'which had come to pass. As they stood with heads bowed in reverence, they were filled with an inner warmth and they wondered at it, but as they wondered they saw an angel of the Lord standing by the manger, and they knew that this was the son of God.

Their eyes And ears are filled with magic things: Strange life and stranger death, the splendor kings Have sometimes lacked. No pagent this, but lives that might have been, Had fate and dreams walked hand in hand, Had what they planned Been 'what had happened. They are no longer earthbound, But, freed by phantom hopes and sounds Of far-off melodies that once they Knew by heart, they rise and mingle With eternity. There are no two who see the same In any face, or give a single meaning To a line-but each, for fleeting moments, Labels mine the scene, the act, the playg And, with a jealousy that grasps Enjoyment till it must cease to be, Cries unknowing, Delay The end. One minute more Before I must return to life. These dreams are sweet. But there is nothing more to say. In slow finality, the velvet curtain falls. There is a magic silence still: The people drain the final moment dry of makebelieve, They strain to drink their fill Of fairyland, and then the world breaks in once more, They realize where and who they are, and hide their disappointment With a roar Of earthy praise Shattering the pastel cellophane of theatre.

Yet is he foiled: For who, in studying The calm face of night, Remembers in moon's spirit grace The sweat and passion of the noon? ARRIVAL Howling wind, rustling leaves, Brilliant hues of Fall, Ground still kissed by the sun's warm Waiting Winter's call. The leaves drop off, one by one To the hardening ground belowg Bare branches Waving to the sky Watching for the snow. Like a silent army comes That long awaited sight. The glorious morning displays to us The labor 'Wrought at night. Down and down the tiny Hakes Fall upon the earth, Proclaiming to the frosted land Another Winter's birth. lips JEAN LONGSTAFF 48 33 Egg in A M y Bw 3' s.: . 1 FW -'-g ,f': Q M A Bi ,NY -.

S33 OAK LEAVES 1947 MAY NIGHT There is nothing so mysterious and exciting as a night in May down by the ocean. Perhaps it is the surging sea, mixed with whistling wind that stirs me so, as the two hum their song in a minor scale. Suddenly there is a crash of lightning, then a roll of thunder. Rain falls out of the dark sky upon the dry earth. The grass, Hcqwers, trees drink the precious liquid greedily, for the last rain was long ago. After the storm, everything was silent. An uncanny feeling races through the air and is felt by everyone out of doors enjoying the stillness of the night. Out of nowhere, the moon begins to shine. The air picks up the tune again, only this time it is in a major scale. A song perfectly fitting for a night in May. JEAN BURBANK, '47. The bay mare stands in the gale Soft tail and mane flying, Ears erect and nostrils pale, Watching the long day dying. The sun sinks fast tonight, The darkness comes so swift, Then fades the light, The clouds begin to drift. All is quiet and still, The horses munching hay, Everything has drunk its fill, In the beauty of the day. The mare than slowly goes On to join her child, As the wind softly blows The many flowers wild. EMMA BERGDOLL, '-47. 35 A WISH It 1s a dread awakening To suddenly realize You are only one Among innumerable lives Your llght faintly dim In the midst of so much brightness A breath of wind Under a cyclone's mightiness. It is a futile sound To hear your spirit drowned In a clash of cymbals Lost in machinery roar Of modern industrial war. It makes me wonder to see The gurgling brook J umping pebbles with glee, The sunsets paint the mountains purple And then I know The wind doth blow On one and all the same We all receive Nature's gifts Irreplacable by gold or fame. OAK LEAVES 1947 I have my purpose, my place, and some happiness to give. Humanity is not an endless race, But above all that, a wish to be A shining light, a strong wind, so Ships may sail that are lost at sea. l WINTER Come snow of the whitest Come snow of the lightest From the grey and blue skies The clouds are like billows Of soft, fleecy pillows The winter at present is king. 36 MICHAEL REED, '47. above.

CAROL WILEY, '49 ON WAKING UP This morning as the world awoke, I saw upon my Windowsill, A small blue bird, that suddenly spoke With a low and bubbling trill. He spoke to me of unseen thingsg Of rivers blue and flowers of Mayg Of drinking from cool, clear springs, Cheer-up, cheer-up, I heard him say.

The chimneys of deserted mansions Among stately magnolias stand: All that remains of times long pastg These, and the quivering leaves of magnolias. In Maine A white house glitters on a hill between the bay And the pointed tops of deep emerald firs. The water is shimmering blue, capped with the foam of The high-piled surf. Against a background of grass and cloud and sky, Three deer dash from the forest into the Glare of sunlight, Stand poised for one breathless instant Then plunge back into the silvered hemlocks.

Said the grasshopper to the walking-stick, Indeed, you are so long, Beside my puny body, You seem so great and strong.

FROM MY TOWER High up in the tower I stand And View the world on every hand, And far below the things I see Look very small compared to me! The little brook that snakes between The rocks and trees and hills blue-green The rich, plowed earth like corduroy The Wide-brimmed hat of the farmer's boy, Who on a gate is sitting astride To bar the cattle from the barn, red and Wide. A wind blew off my hat just then, And merrily chased it down the glen, But I don't care, for now I see A tiny rim of the shining sea, And over all, as I look up The sky is white like a porcelain cup. CAROL WILEY, '49. 42 OAK LEAVES 1947 ONCE UPON A TIME Once upon a time, Here is what I'd ask: A ticket round the world. Freedom from every taskg Cold, brisk, salty sea winds, Playing upon a shore, Dancing moonbeams on a lake Picnics by the score. Snow-capped Alpine Mountains, Great, green stretching plains, Rock and waves and scorching sun, Cooling summer rains! Parties, balls, and dances, Tickets for every play- All these I wanted long ago, Before I went away. Now, my heart is wiser So I've cancelled all above And ask instead, these items: Home, tranquillity, and love. NANCY RAMSAY, '49 EARLY MORNING WALK What more could I wish, Than an early morning walk, In the soft and misty air With my comrade's lively talk?

But I don't really mind at all, I'm a carefree, happy lass. MARY LEE WOOD, '49, 43 fy 'Ir 'Y ' 1 NF ax Q 3 s.,,, E 1. K T i-Mi, 5 'X QQ ag, X 'X .X '51 Q X vi Y X 53 2, P X!

Does it cling to the ceiling or lie on the iioor, hide in the closet or be- hind the door? No, probably, it frisks out of the window to join other playfellows of the night. Oh, to be a spirit at night and do what a spirit might. It must be fun to swing on a star or slide down the milky way. To go streaking through the night on the tail of a comet would thrill me so. I would like to race through the night with the screeching wind and do little naughty things like slamming doors, rattling windows and wiggling the shutters. - It must be wonderful when one is tired, to perch in a fir tree and smell the fragrance of the balsam that is carried by the cool breezes of evening. I can't be a spirit, that is true, but I can go to bed and dream of the things I'd like to do. FAY WORTH, '48, .-.,l -l TRAIL-TRAIPSIN G Thronging through the tangled trails A group of girls, gaily singing, Armed with axes, agiley ran. First to free the trail from ferns, Brambles, branches. Backs they bent, Persistently picking the prickers up, Till, through the trees, the clean trail twisted. Next, they kneeled to know more surely Whether wind had warped -the trees, Had bid them bend their branches down. A warped one appeared, their axes they applied Singing while striking. Then, standing, beheld The tree to topple. Toward it they turned, Saw that it sat, sedately at ease, Between two boughs far back from the trail. The day's duty done, they darted down the hill, Still singing stoutly their stanza of song. PATRICIA STARKE, '47 . 61 OAK LEAVES 1947 I0 CIVIC CONSCIOUSNESS Way down below the trees a busy group of elves, flowers, and birds were gathered. In spite of the darkness of the cave, gaiety and light pervaded. The faces of all the elves, flowers, and birds shone with the anticipation of a good time. Voices and laughter echoed throughout the long tunnels. It seemed to be a merry occasion. A jovial elf, a pair of glasses on the end of his pointed nose, was trying to secure order. Franftically he pleaded. Finally he rang a huge bell and frightened the timid group who weren't used to a lot of commotion. Please be quiet, he implored in a high, squeaky voice. It's nice to see you all again after this cold, cold winter, but remember, this meeting is for business not gossipingf' The elf in charge stood up with a great many notes and began to give directions. Littlest elf, I want you to roll up the blanket of snow that's covering the earth and wash it out for next year. Purple crocus, will you bloom in Mrs. Williams: yard right away, because she's been so sick? Someone just has to paint the sky. I've some beautiful new blue paint for it. Be sure you wash out the clouds and make them nice and fluffy. I need quite a few of you to tie these grecn leaves on the trees. Could you boys do it? Robins, this year you're to sing the choral. I hope it's a joyous one. Middle-sized elf, will you gild the sun? It's not as shiny as usual. Who will touch up the rainbow for those April showers we always have? Tiny elf, I've got a very important job for you, to wake up all the bears and other animals that are sleeping in caves. Everyone rushed to his station. Well, said the elf' in charge, if all goes well, this ought to be a pretty good spring. And sure enough, in the morning spring had come.

This was the day we had dreamed of! What happy reunions there were that day, and how pleasant to welcome eight new Seniors to our class. We already wonder how we ever got along Without them. The year started right when we elected Jean Humason as our Class Presi- dent, Emma Bergdoll as Vice-President, Janice Nixon as Secretary, and Elaine Giorgi as Treasurer. We proudly chose Miss Benson as our Class Teacher. The members of the Leaders' Council were elected to have charge of the Honor Study Halls for Juniors and Seniors and the Seniors were awarded their places in High Honor Study Hall. We were embarked on our Senior year. The first thing many of us did was to plan our parties in the Senior Play- room with its adjoining kitchenette where we have cooked so many delicious suppers. Isn't it fun to have not only a piano but also a radio there to dance to, and of course to listen to the Hit Parade '? The competition between the Scarlets and Blacks was soon under way as each team met to choose its Major. Lee heads the Scarlets and Bob the Blacks. Remember how we welcomed the new girls to their teams that afternoon in the Gym? Apparently they expected something much worse -at least they looked pretty scared! Many of the Seniors have spent week-ends at Rosemere. Our meals there always seem to have especially delectable iiavor. Is it the fun of our cooking or the huge appetites we gain from our long walks, our frolics in the hay, and that twenty-five-mile ride on horseback? All at once it was November and near the date when Mrs. Owen had invited the Faculty and Seniors of Hebron Academy for our fall dance. We 70 OAK LEAVES 1947 CORNER OF SENIOR HOUSE certainly had a good time as hostesses, didn't we? It was so exciting coming down the winding stairs into the Foyer of Senior House as the Hebron boys entered from the outer door for the introduction march. We were proud of our ball room with its lovely arrangements of golden chry- santhemums, of the delicious collation our cooks served, and of all that Oak Grove did to give a happy evening to our guests and us. CWe will ever remember the excitement on Monday when many a girl discovered a letter in her mailbox postmarked Hebron lj The Winter Term opened with a lovely tea the first Sunday afternoon in the apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Owen. Principals and Faculty were host- esses to the entire School. Then we entertained at tea for the Faculty and our sister class which later gave a delightful one for us. We must not for- get the Masquerade Ball and how everyone racked her brain for the clever- est costumes. January also produced wonderful weather for skating and skiing, so our evening Skating Parties were a big success. Much credit goes to Mrs. Owen's cheese dreams and hot chocolate with whipped cream. An added teacher for skiing, a new teacher for skating and then that warm day when so many of our parents came to enjoy the Winter Carnival. The first day of March saw pin curls everywhere and a definite air of 71 OAK LEAVES 1947 AROUND THE OWENS' FIRESIDE excitement. It was the day we were invited to Hebron for an afternoon of skating and skiing that can be enjoyed later there because they are higher in the mountains, and then the dinner and dance. Masters, faculty wives and students were marvelous hosts. We are back again after the Spring holiday for the shortest term of the year and all the happy events it will hold. We have bowed to the prolonged applause after our Senior Class play. Commencement gowns have been fitted, class parts have been written, and the strains of the Priests' March keep drifting through our minds while our sun deck beckons us to sun tans and we glory in the privilege of Studying Out among all the flowers in our Oak Grove Garden. There is a touch of sadness as we think of Commence- ment Day and leaving our Alma Mater with all the comradeship and happi- ness that we share together here. JUNIOR CLASS NOTES As the ranking class in Briggs Hall, the Juniors this year decided to make a real go of it, and live up to the honor of being upper classmen at Oak Grove. We elected class officers as follows: President, Catherine Campy Vice-President, Mina Bergdollg Secretary, Joanna Van Ordeng and Treasurer, Louise Dalzelle. We were delighted when Miss Garner con- sented to be our class teacher. Our first major project of the year was the traditional Hallowe'en party, a pleasant relief after exams. Who will ever forget Jenny, selling her 72 OAK LEAVES 1947 OFF FOR DAY OF XVINTER SPORTS AND DANCE AT HEBRON magic love potion, or Jean and Joan, the weird fortune tellers? We were thrilled when Mrs. Owen invited us to help the Seniors entertain the Hebron boys here on November sixteenth. Everyone had a marvelous time. Even a few who were inclined to be apprehensive beforehand soon decided it was an evening they would never forget. One of the early events of the Winter Term came when we hurried gaily out to the Rink for moonlight skating to the strains of the Blue Danube. If some of us were not too graceful, we all had loads of fun. On our return, Mrs. Owen greeted us with so much hot chocolate and luscious cheese dreams that we went to bed stuffed, but nevertheless happy. Soon after the charming tea in our Principals' apartment, it was our turn and we were pleased to entertain the faculty and freshman class. Miss Garner poured, and our various culinary experts made many beautiful as well as delectable sandwiches. On the evening of the the Winter Carnival, the Juniors were proud to pre- sent Bernard Shaw's play, Arms and the Man. Under the direction of Miss Garner, not only did we have a 'wonderful time in giving the play, but we learned many valuable points in the field of dramatics. March first was another important day. The Seniors and we were invited to Hebron Academy for an afternoon of winter sports, dinner and a dance in the evening. Of course, we were all eager to see our brother school, and we found it as lovely as we had imagined it. The year seems so short and the Spring Term is flying past. Preliminaries and Finals in Junior Read- 73 OAK LEAVES 1947 ACTORS EVEN GEORGE BERNARD XVOULD APPLAUD ings are over, the Horse Show was excellent, camp suppers are just as popu- lar as ever and as OAK LEAVES goes to press, we are all looking forward to our class picnic, and the perfect end of another wonderful year at Oak Grove. SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES We were delighted to welcome so many new faces among the old this year in our class, and it didn't take long to make friends. We began the year by electing our class officers: Shirley Brown, Presidentg Diony Stoddard, vice-presidentg Mimi Logan, secretaryg Joan Tolson, treasurerg and Betty May Canada, class editor. We are happy to have Mrs. Fisk as our Class Teacher. In October, we gave our class play, Victoria Regina. It was a great success, under the guidance of Miss Garner, our Georgian dramatic teacher. The leads were given to Betty May Canada, who played Victoria, and Diony Stoddard who was an irresistible Albert. A grand cast helped to make the play the success that it was. We all look back with pleasure on the times we went to Rosemere and had so much fun being campers -the hay was perfect for jumping. Our class was one of the first to enjoy an evening skating party, and after organizing two teams, we played an exciting game of ice hockey. After- wards Mrs. Owen was awaiting us with toasted sandwiches and hot choc- olate and then we danced in the Senior playroom. In November, we gave an inspiring Vesper Service about Lincoln and another excellent one in April when our theme was Honesty. After the Seniors entertained us charmingly at tea, we gave a tea in their 74 OAK LEAVES 1947 ' ,, nn.4.i,. l HSKIPPIZRH AND FOUR RIBBON XVINNERS honor. Our girls worked hard making gay decorations and dainty sand- wiches, and it seemed to be enjoyed by everyone. Our class seems to have a lot of firsts and we were the first to have preliminaries for our Sophomore Declamations. Much to our delight the judges paid us many compliments and the competition was close. The ten who won put on a grand program in the finals on April 12th. Now we are in the midst of all our spring activities, rides to Rosemere, some Sophomores in the Masque and Dirk play and others in the Spring Horse Show as well as a few stars from our class in the Gymnasium Com- petition. The days Hy past and as we make plans for June we are also planning for more grand times next year. FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES As we gaze back upon our lirst day at Oak Grove, it doesn't seem possible that such a vast extent of treasured time has become an exciting chapter in cur past, never again to be repeated, but always, always a part of us. Many things have been accomplished since that memorable day when we disem- barked, a totally new and unacquainted group of fledglings. We were re- ceived with gracious cheerfulness never to be outdone by Southern Hos- pitality, and right away commenced to tread the overly hospitable road of learning. Our class oflicers are: Ruth Zeller, president, Diana Howe, vice- presidentg and we are delighted to have as our Class Teacher Dr. Diaz, our Spanish teacher from Cuba. 75 OAK LEAVES 1947 LONG SWINCQS, SOFT HAY AND JOLLY HOURS AT ROSFMERE The weeks flew by until the dreaded day and night finally arrived. We had melancholy facial expressions such as Oak Grove will never again see. The house was full and prepared for the worst, while back stage a nervous, high strung tension prevailed as a feverish group of amateur actors shivered in freakish costumes. The Freshmen were about to display their unimaginable skill and technique in their class play, The Man who Married the Dumb Wife. Ruth Zeller enacted the dumb wife with assur- ance, while Despina Nicolaides played opposite as the gossip fatigued mate. Patricia Clark, Carole Witham, Graceann Ridlon, and Diana Howe were also members of the cast. There was generous applause at the end. The Freshmen were at home to the Juniors in January and they later en- tertained at a charming tea accompanied by soft music and delicious re- freshments. I am sure we shall always remember the eventful skating party given us by Mrs. Owen. It was nipping cold out as we all skated under the stars for an hour to the music, which Mr. Owen never fails to provide. Then we raced to the warm buildings and were received by Mrs. Owen with all sorts of good things to eat. 76 OAK LEAVES 1947 ,. 1 s -s ' -. 4 B JUNIOR DEPARTMENT We opened the year to come with six new girls added to our Department. When it was our turn to elect ofiicers we chose Miss Jones as our class teacher and were happy that she accepted. We elected the following: Presi- dent, Althea Shaleng Vice-President, Lynn .Hanng Secretary, Sally Mallard: Treasurer, Janet Flaggg and Class Editor, Shirley Dickson. Some of us participated in a play about a Sentimental Scarecrow. It was very appro- priate for Hallowe'en week and we had a lot of fun at rehearsals but some of us almost got stage fright. We were not slow getting acquainted with each other and found that we could have many good times together. During the fall and spring we went for hikes in the groves and down to the Kennebec with Miss Jones. After Christmas came the snow, bringing many new thrills. We had our first skating party on a clear sparkling night. Afterwards Mrs. Owen served us her delicious cheese dreams, steaming hot chocolate with lots of whipped cream in the Senior Playroom, then we sang and danced and had a lot of fun. Three hundred came to the big tea that Mrs. Owen gave in honor of the Governor's wife. Every room in Briggs was beautiful with flowers. The upperclass girls were the ones invited to assist in serving. We never saw so many hundreds of sandwiches and pastries go by. After all the company went, Mrs. Owen served some of everything to the Juniors and Seniors who helped her. We wished we were big. We did not know what Mrs. Owen planned for us until Study Hour was out and we heard we were invited to a pajama party at once. We had everything, except milk instead of tea- chicken, lobster, cream cheese with nuts, honey and walnut, and delicious little cakes and almonds. Parties are popular. We are looking forward to the Spring Horse Show and Commencement. We are also looking forward to return to our many happy times at Oak Grove in the coming September when we will all be old girls and know what to do. 77 K, T Y Orin LEAVES 1947 RECREATIO Our athletic program at Oak Grove has been exciting and fast moving ever since our cheers of welcome for the new girls rang out from the Gym as wc took in the new members of the Scarlets and the Blacks. Sometimes it has been puzzling for everyone, old and new, to decide which activ- ities to choose. There were always the intense competition and rollicking fun of soccer and hockey games, the exciting tennis tournament on our five brand new courts, and the fascination of riding. The friendly competition between the Scar- lets and Blacks has provided much excitement and suspense throughout the tournaments ever since School opened. In September with Miss Benson to guide us we enthusiastically learned some new forms in soccer and hockey technique. We staged a lot of informal matched games. With our Majors, Lee and Bob, to urge us on, we had some close games. All the teams were unusually evenly matched to the great surprise of some overconfident ones who had ex- pected an easy game and a speedy victory. Ten- nis was never more popular. Oak Grove's luck again held and we had the best week-end of the whole season for the Winter Carnival. lt was a grand success with many of our visiting parents and friends quite amazed at the skill of our skaters, skiers and riders. The skating under the coaching of Mrs. Franz brought out the real grace and talent of many who glided in colorful costumes over the ice. Our youngest skater was delightful, costumed as a spring fairy in the Skating Ballet that featured Lee Tolson as the lovely Snow Maiden and enacted a pretty story that gave a chance to demonstrate the grace of our best skaters. Michael was a beautiful Queen with her smiling and pretty Maids of Honor, Mar- ion, Barbara, Patricia and Jean in their snappy red, white and blue costumes, while Diane with her silvery notes made a fine Herald. It is the 79 Y OAK LEAVES 1947 QUEEN MICHAEL AND HER MAIDS OF HONOR Queen's privilege to choose who shall crown her and she chose Mrs. Owen. As soon as all the drills and solo Work were done at the ring everyone, with coats open and feeling the warmth of a dry, sunny winter day in Maine, adjourned to the new Ski Trail where Russ and Max directed the skiers through their stunts-some of them unfortunately quite unintentional. We hope that our popular teachers were pleased with the techniques they had taught us to master. Many girls are proudly Haunting the blue buttons won when they passed the fourth class ski test given by Russ and Max who are members of the National Ski Patrol. The third event of the Winter Play Day was put on by the Riding Depart- ment and was a contest between the upper and lower class girls who com- peted in some fast and interesting drills and manoeuvers. Each guest was given a vote to cast for the group which he or she considered the best. The score was very close but the upper class came out triumphant with the lowers solemnly vowing to keep their heels down in the future. Following our strenuous afternoon of sports and winter fun we all trooped uncere- moniously and with ravenous appetites into the dining room where a sumptuous buiet supper was waiting for our parents and us. It was fol- lowed by dancing and the wonderful work of Juniors in their class play, Arms and the Man. When we toppled into bed after the evening's enter- tainment we all agreed that it was the best Play Day ever. 80 OAK LEAVES 1947 We thought the fall and winter terms were best but now we know that spring tops them both. The favorite field sports have been soccer and soft- ball. The tennis courts have had their eager fans. As OAK LEAVES goes to press, we have not yet had our tennis tournament and the scores in all the sports are yet to be determined. The exhibition of Physical Education, Aesthetic Dancing, and Folk Dancing is scheduled for the coming week- end with promise of interesting and attractive numbers while the Horse Show was held last week under ideal conditions. The competition in each of the four different classes was So close that any girl might have won a ribbon and the judges were much puzzled to select the winners. The ribbons in each class went as follows: Beginners. Graceann, white, Jean, yellow, Heidi, red, and Maye, blue, Low Intermedi- ate, Despine, white, Elaine, yellow, Patricia, red, and Ann, blue, High In- termediate, Joan, white, Jane, yellow, Phyllis, red, and Lynn, blue, Ad- vanced, Mina, white, Ruth, yellow, Shirley, red, and Emma, blue. The Jumping done by Emma, Mina and Shirley was lwonderful. Miss Spiers, Miss Humphrey and Skipper certainly have reason to be proud of their good work in teaching us riding this year and we are hoping that our rep- resentatives win some fine ribbons at the Portland Horse Show the last day of May. To the delight of Skipper there are only three of the sixteen ribbon winners who will graduate in June so we are looking forward to a wonderful beginning in September, especially since some of the new girls who are entering are already excellent riders. RIDING September eleventh and a big dash for the stables to see our old friends again and the new ones we had heard about. Shouts of delight echoing everywhere as we gloat over the best stable of horses Oak Grove has ever possessed. There are the pair of chocolate chestnuts, majestic Jess, the champion of Maine's summer camps, the silky, five-gaited Jerry Peavine, spirited Jack Frost, playful Buddy, and the new Captain. All our old friends and these new ones here for us to ride and weren't we excited! Through all the fall when the leaves were gorgeous we had many beauti- ful trail rides over our Oak Grove bridle paths. The never-to-be-forgotten thrills were those twenty-five mile cross country rides to dear old Rosemere. We also had some -wonderful trips to Miss Humphrey's Golden Plover Camp beside the lake, and we 'were the ones to christen the new Riding Ring. News spread quickly in the opening days that Skipper Bartlett of whose fame we had already heard, would be here every week for special lessons, to teach us better form, light hands, and jumping besides the thrills of won- derful figure eights and clever drills. He has also given us an interesting and humorous lecture on riding and horsemanship. Those who have known Oak Grove for the last ten years say that our Spring Horse Show was the grandest ever here, and so much credit goes to Miss Humphrey, Miss Spiers and Skipper. It was a grand day with some parents coming more than 81 OAK LEAVES 1947 a thousand miles to be present, with a bountiful picnic lunch served by Oak Grove for all our parents and us, with perfect weather, and with real sportsmanship even 'when the competition was so close. Now eight will be chosen to ride in the Portland Horse Show the last of May and that will be wonderful experience. Miss Humphrey and Skipper know just what we want for next fall and we have some pretty big ambitions. WINTER CARNIVAL The Herald sends silvery notes across the Rink, notes of the Grand March ring out from the loud speaker, Queen Michael and her court glide across the Rink to the throne, the courtiers bow low, Mrs. Owen places a crown on her black curls and another Winter Carnival is under way. Although the brilliant sun and warm air delighted our parents, the hot sun was not ideal for the Rink which lost its glistening surface before the afternoon was over, but the Queen beamed and our parents too as the Queen's subjects went through their celebration from the gay dance of the villagers, to drill of the soldiers, and then the feature of the afternoon, the Ballet of the Snow Maiden in which the leading parts were taken by Lee as the Snow Maiden and Ann as the Spirit of Spring, who both did some delightful solo work. It was all very gay. Then everyone hurried to the new Ski Trail for the usual races and com- petitions, the first being for speed and technique, the second an hilarious obstacle race carefully timed by Max. Before the last contestant skied up the ladder, twisted through the bar- rel and dashed to the finish line, the horses lwere already in the Ring where the Upper and Lower classes each put on a clever drill. Meanwhile all the round tables had been taken from the dining room and we returned to find a sumptuous buffet supper spread on long tables opposite the fire- place. To our delight we could come directly in ski clothes to feast and make merry until time for the evening program when the Juniors shone in Arms and the Man by Bernard Shaw. 82 OAK LEAVES 1947 PI'NE TRAIL SKIERS With the return of Mrs. Franz at the opening of the winter term to coach our winter sports, the Ski Club met enthusiastically and elected the follow- ing officers: President, Nancy Nelb, Treasurer, Jean Burbank, Secretary, Pauline Strawhecker. We were delighted with the suggestion that our Club affiliate with the United States Eastern American Ski Association and a contest began for the name of the Club. Pine Trail Skiers which had been suggested by both Jennifer and Mina was the happy selection. The majority of our meetings have been held informally with many of them on the new trail for which we all thank Mr. Owen most cordially. On February 22nd the Pine Trail Skiers had one of their most delightful meetings, an early morning ski followed by a special breakfast in the Senior Playroom. The fact that it was snowing a little made us feel more dramatic and gay. Russ and Max have been wonderful teachers over the week-ends when we have skied morning, noon and night. It was thrilling to watch their swift and clever demonstrations, slaloms, christies, gelandespungs and all the tech- niques we hoped to master. The week-end of the Carnival ten of our mem- bers took and passed the Fourth Class Test, Nancy Brautigan, Jean Cole, Deborah Gebrath, Carol Goldthwait, Nancy Nelb, Jean Ross, Patricia Tim- merman, Marion White, and Jean Whitney. 83 M-xanvvm' 'Ti .she-5 ,gi 39' ,file M-1 Wh W rw, 549- A-Q-gpm . .

Never be idleg if your hands cannot be usefully employed, attend to the cultivation of your mind. Always speak the truthg make few promisesg live up to your engagements, when you speak to any person, look him straight in the face. Good company and good conversation are the very sinews of virtue. Good character is above all things else. Never listen to loose or idle conversationg you had better be poisoned in your blood than in your principles. Your character cannot be essentially injured except by your own acts. If any one should speak evil of you, let your life be so virtuous that none will believe him. Always speak and act as if in the presence of your Makerg drink no intoxicating liquorsg ever live, misfortune excepted, within your incomeg when you retire to bed think over what you have done during the day. Never speak lightly of any one, make no haste to be rich if you would prosper, small and steady gains give competency with tranquillity of mind. Never play any game of chanceg avoid the temptation through fear that you may not withstand it. Earn your money before you spend it. Never run in debt unless you see a way to get out of it. Never borrow, if you can possibly avoid it. Be just before you are generous. Keep yourself innocent if you would be happy. Save when you are young, to spend when you are old. Never think what you do to alleviate the sufferings of your fellow beings time or money lost. Be kind and generous, for the whole human family is depending one upon the other. f'7 K. ls Q 4.
