It is not mere chance or luck that this year every girl in the College Preparatory Course is accepted in a major college, and that every girl has been accepted in some good college. So many Directors of Admissions from the best colleges have been traveling to Oak Grove this year that it is easy for us to believe Emerson might have had our school in mind when he said, If a man can Write a better book, preach a better sermon or make a better mousetrap than his neighbor, though he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door. Maybe this trek of College Admissions Officers to interest Oak Grove Seniors in their respective col- leges may explain why parents from all over this country and many other countries are also making a path to our School. We welcome the best from all over the world. LETTER WRITING EVER NEW When a lecturer at Oak Grove this year said that one of the best ways to learn to write was through letter Writing, our Senior and Junior chests expanded widely as we all thought, Of course, that is just what Mrs. Pulsi- fer has been teaching us . How could anyone except Mrs. Pulsifer come year after year for a course in Letter Writing and always have an entirely new and fresh approach and pattern? The answer is that nobody but Mrs. Pulsifer could do it. Every Senior at Oak Grove looks forward to having the course again and every Junior eagerly anticipates the course in Letter Writing under our talented, gracious and beloved Trustee, Susan Nichols Pulsifer. Part of one letter illustrating descriptive writing is printed in Oak Leaves . 8 q 1 FJ! ff' - 0 ' V ' - A s f 4 i I is ,,4xf4 '. ll ' vs. - - ily R , . xy . 4'1 ff Q f 'fl Q wha?

OAK LEAVES 1950 N L RY ,ag , , W, L - I J g YOUTH I saw the sun rise over the riverg The water was blue and sungold full: I gazed and gazed for I thought that never Could this world be so beautiful. My mind was full of charm of the morn And I knew that spring was here. I heard its voice in the murmer of winds And in song of a bird by my window nearg In the leaves of grass shone diamonds of dew, The region was suddenly full of light, And shyly heavenward raised their heads Sweet spring flowers, yellow and blue and white. They rose and opened their buds to the air. Gazing I marveled at spring's new birth. In those bright moments I felt as if Light angel wings had touched the earth Which now was living, blooming and new In that beautiful golden morning. It was morning for me and all my friends, The time when nature and we were gay. The path to the world was paved with gold And earth her treasures before us lay As she always does in youth. She drew, charmed me and held me in thrall And I longed more fully and richly to live, To run forward to greet this new life, The best I had I wanted to give, All was so good and beautiful 7 OAK LI-:Avlis 1950 My thoughts and dreams were full of glory All sorrow fadedg joy reigned supreme I was living my childhood's fairy-story, That childhood which I was ready to leave With all the care and shelter of home. Was there a pathway opening for me? Or was I but destined to strive and roam? And so a misgiving came to my mind. I could not believe, though I longed to, That the world would always be so kind So fair, so free, so full of hope. But soon those questionings faded away, For the day was so happy and gay And I was happy and young. That new dawn is now and we are here. This glorious moment of youth and spring The golden gateway, is open and near And even though we cannot know What lies beyond, we enter in, Our work, our plan, our life to begin. It is springtime now, the mild winds blow Over fields that we are going to plough The flowers have budded, an angel wing Has touched the earth, and waters sing. They give thanks for beauty, glory and light Which is too brilliant for human sight. This light in us also is glowing And I know not if this be dreaming, But dreaming and waking I wish it might stay This day when we are happy and gay When our hopes and fears take wings When in our hearts triumphantly sings A forward march of spring and youth. SIRPPA LARRA 50 OIAK LEAVES 1950 ANOTHER NIGHT AT SEA 1 To That Which Is Real and Which Makes a Fool of Sciencel If I might rest again upon the sea, Lie stretched full length along the captain's deck And kiss the south wind curling 'round my neck And sink into a dreamy lethargy And float in pools of stars and reverie And follow fast that graceful, shining treck That curves across the night, and watch each fieck Of burning gold unfold a mystery, Then souls and hearts and all the universe Would speak to me, and the majestic swell Of silence, and Infinity's vast spell Would hail the thoughts which men of science curse. Then would return each strange lost fantasy To teach me of its deep reality. PHYLLIS TAMPLIN, '50 MY C-RI-MSON TREE I saw a tree beside a lake, Its foliage crimson hue, With leaves that floated to the ground And on the water blue. I gazed upon this beautious sight And knelt on bended knee, To hail the gracious presence of A higher deity. MARTHA STEELE, '51 SEA BREEZES The bow dips into the sea, The white spray cools my face, The seagulls are chasing me, The clouds resemble lace. The breakers are chafiing the rocks, The cold winds howl with glee, On the door of my heart something knocks, Asking to be set free. My boat groans with delight, The waves smile, pushing us on, Everything in the world seems right, The cares of the world are gone. 9 5 S sf 57 .,,....a-vim? , M S W sig W EQ S ia W ' S L' 18' A 5 ' .5 iw .

ERIKA LIND, '51 COMPLEXITY OF TEMPERAMENT Dew-drops on your lashes, Prompted by a similar source From which rain drops are extracted By extremities of weather and temperament, Naturally run their course. ERIKA LIND, '51 A LA MER Oh, restless rolling tumult, thou, the sea, Who sweeps in never ceasing swell and tide, And beats the granite-bounded shore with glee, Teaching the sportive dolphins how to rideg The lives of fishermen wvho toil and slave Are pawns to theeg no matter if they all Be lost! Thy cruel beauty, foam-flecked wave, Can be no comfort to an anguished call. It is not easier, O ice blue deep, To curve in smiling roll toward the sky, Than wake the 'venging furies from their sleep To whip the black-plumed clouds that blow on high? And still the vasty ocean takes its prize Unchecked, giving no heed to mortal cries. GRACEANN RrDLoN, '50 g X itll A X We 11 -ww..,,,- A 'M ,Q C I I 1 1 K l Viv w f sl - -A U 1 use ' 12: ' Mx ..

The freedom of her Hight! I saw a dark-robed moth pursue The watchman's lonely light I pity moths, they never know The beauty of the night. PHYLLIS TAMPLIN, '50 MOONLIGHT 'F The moonlight gleams upon a lovely hill Below which yellow fields appear to flow As breezes blow the tall grain to and fro. The scene is peaceful-darkness, calm and still Through which shine moonbeams, gleaming down until They touch the gentle hillside far below And cover all with soft and silvery glow. Now through the stillness comes a whippoorwill His quick notes calling out that all is wellg The world is softly blanketed in night 'Twas several hours ago that darkness fell And over all now shines so soft and bright The gleaming rays which cast a peaceful spell, That silvery gleam, the full moon's magic light. HELEN MCKELL, '50 TWILIGHT ' The hush of eventide has fallen now And swiftly over grey fields it does steal, A distant calling voice breathes, Come and bow And seek the source of what they heart doth feel. The infinite now is urging me to roam Beyond life's empty shell and seek the source Of sunset's splendor beyond the utmost dome My thought now strays, - a bark's uncharted course. What rules the universe and who is God? A spirit hidden, or being like ourselves? Who holds the right supreme of ruling rod As we His mighty power to all proclaim? These thoughts do come in quiet close of day Of Maker, Universe and Man's own way.

In reverie my thoughts do now return To times I walked that desolated shore- I opened then my heart without concern Why can I not abide there ever more? The secrets that are hidden in the deep Spring from her bosom and I seek them out, The olden tales of men that do there sleep Are flung from roaring waves which loudly shoutg And when my troubles I do tell this friend, A peace of mind rolls in, my woes to end. CONSTANCE DOWNS, LINES ON THE SEA 'k When long ago I first stood by the sea, And watched the heaving waves come rolling in A sense of deep fulfillment came to me, A peace that lifted me beyond the din, Of tossing breakers, windswept spume and spray, Beyond the sight of waters, crashing, spent, To sands that stretched for endless miles away. And when at quiet dusk the sea was lent The gentle radiance of the sunset light, The waves caught up by magic in that spell Did scarcely stir and seemed to wait the night, As also I, with thoughts that all was well. And so beside the ever restless sea, A sweet and tender peace did come to me. LINDA ZANETTI, EVENING ' In the deepening evening sky I caught A glimpse of blue of our Lady's robe. Through the gathering dusk there was, Her loving smile shining on our globe. I thought, In a pink-edged cloud a cherub hid, And the first star twinkled in the coming dark. On the quickening breeze Hoated an evening hymn: The night was ushered in by a lark. 15 '5 '5 f i W in 'Sai fgifg 1 Ang .Q 1' 1 5 . , S VP We fs .

CAROL KRUEGER, '52 I MIST The mist envelopes me As I wander o'er the downs: It reaches out to me Grasping me, Pulling me Towards the glen it crowns. So with it I am carried To a place I know not whither: For the wind has come Blowing it, Dispelling it, The fog that brought me hither! ERIKA LIND, '51 WITHIN A DAY When will the young Spring come? Now, days are growing longer, Sun's early rays are stronger, The sky's a vivid blue. This anxious winter scene Half beckons to the guest, Half forms a new request For just that one last flake. These howling gales of March Soon fragrant Winds become, And awakened Earth will hum Within a day, of Spring.

Thy spirit that I harness for my joy Serves me with all the strength of love's sure faith And in this bond of love between us two Dwells that which brings us both to liberty. Now up, into the air, my noble friend And take me to yon lofty mountain top, Beyond, the countless twinkling stars await, Beyond, all space and time can be explored. GRACEANN RIDLON, '51. Dear Ellen: Do you knofw what I mean when I say you can feel snow coming? That kind of breathless, silent feeling in the air that precedes the wild flurries and steady floating down of that muffled quiet? Remember how in early afternoon the grey, troubled clouds gather overhead, as a stillness and feel- ing of expectation pervade all? A little scurry of wind whips brown, rust- ling leaves in an airy whirlpool,-and then gently scatters them back over the hard, cold, barren ground. From nowhere a beautiful, soft white star floates gently down to earth. Then there is another, and another! Gradually they increase in number, and a playful breeze spins them round an-d round, up, up, and then lets them softly settle down again, Soon the air is full of swirling whiteness, drifting here and there, only to be picked up again and spun around. But sooner still, the heavens settle down to laying a steady, feathery, white blanket, and, with only a tender whisper, gently spread the coverlet over the sleepy earth. I hope that you will be here sometime, Ellen, to share the strange spell of a New England snowstorm with me. Until then, I am always, Cynthia 19 Q, i ,,J.J Hx P K. 355.

The wind goes dancing by- Hush! Can't you hear How it goes singing by? Twilight is near. YVONNE BRET, '52, MY LOVE My love is in the far-off hills She runs a-wild and bold, My love to seize is out of reach, In vain I'll try 'till I am old. My love has blue eyes dark and deep, Her high sweet singing taunts me 5 I love her, yet to no avail- Her soft warm memory haunts me. She rides upon the whistling winds She dances in among the treesg Amidst the storms and sleet and rain Her graceful being swims with ease. I sit alone to watch my love- A far-off pleasure to me denied. Her laughter echos from the plains. How cruel of her from me to hide! CAROL KRUEGER, '52. MY SUNSET I call it my sunset because I felt that I -was the only living person on this earth. It was like a fairyland. The glistening beach beneath me wet from the pounding surf which lay just ahead, the ocean was rough from a recent storm and the waves dashed upon the beach. The Sun was sinking slowly and as it moved it traced a golden pattern across the green waves. Then, as if by magic, the billowing clouds gathered to make a slow white throne for the approaching sun. As it touched the waiting clouds they were transformed to a golden throne where the sun set like a king proud and grand. As the sun rested there, all things seemed to stand still, the pound- ing surf, the crying gulls and the battering wind. All seemed waiting for something. Suddenly their expectations were fulfilled, for the sun and all the surrounding earth were flushed with a glow of beauty as the sun slipped below the horizon bringing the calm and sweet repose of night. ELISE PITKIN, '53. 25 OAK LEAVES 1950 HAVE I TIME? At nine twenty-five the five minute bell rings, And I still have just about six million things That have to be done in the space of five minutes, So I'll leave them and say, In the morning I'll do it. LUCIA NoYEs, '53. FROM MY WINDOW During the day the view from my window is beautiful with the new snow everywhere and with the evergreens bending under the soft loveliness, but the day is hardly anything compared to the picture I see at night. As I gaze from my window the world is in darkness all except in one corner where there seems to be a great shining mirror with fairies dancing over it. Lights cast shadows in every corner making it seem even more like Fairy- land. The music of a Strauss waltz is floating past my window, making the scene even more like 'Fairyland It is a Moonlight Skating Party! JOYCE KETCHUM, '54. MOUNTAIN MAJ ESTY The majestic rise of the beautiful blue mountains overshadows a shallow glistening brook which goes quietly along, bright and clear, until here and there it pauses where a tiny dam of drifted weeds and water grass causes dark patches in the little stream, even as the never-ending stream of life flows gently on, interrupted by a few dark moments. As the little brook winds on its woodland course through the lush green isles of forest, it comes presently to a limpid pool nestled far back in the mountains. There is a small abandoned red mill on the opposite bank where gay men once told stories of their former adventures in the north woods. The trees hang like a canopy around the scenic spot where they seem to be guarding from any intruder who might happen that way. It is spring and a few wild ducks that have paused from a flock that flew northward recently now sit quietly in the water like petals on a Japanese lake. They seem to wonder Why any- one has dared to come to their pond, and indeed this secluded, quiet place must now be for wild life alone for how could man, in the hurry and strife of the present day, keep the true peace and silence of this mountain glory.

One by one we cantered along Singing and joking together. When the heavens suddenly broke with a clap Making a change in the Weather. The rain came down like a tidal wave full, But never we changed our routeg Out by the mill and up to the tree For apples We did loot. On getting our fill-the horses' too- We continued our rainy ride On down the North Road We did come Trotting side by side. Over the field to the riding ring Followed one by one Doing antics beloved by girls, That only We could have done. After our fooling and prancing around, Back to the stables for all, To unsaddle, unbridle each our steeds Put each to bed in its stall. L. M.

Our own dormitory echoed with joyous shouts as we greeted new students and old friends on September 14. We were particularly happy to welcome Sirppa Larra from Finland and Gladys Artiles from Cuba. We eagerly anticipated a glorious year and our hopes have been realized. Our efficient President, Blair Alexander, and Student Council President Carol McLeod guided us in ad- justing to the much-coveted privilege of studying in our rooms, and we were soon in the swing of busy, happy days. The pleasing result of our election Was:-Sandra French, Vice-President, Eileen Ames, Treasurerg Graceann Ridlon, Secretaryg and Carol Cookson, Class Editor. We were honored when Dr. Diaz again consented to be our Adviser. Our thespians displayed their talents in the hilarious comedy, A Con- necticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court , but the audience couldn't have enjoyed the performance any more than the cast enjoyed producing it under Miss Paton's capable direction. Who could forget Helen McKell as Hank and Joyce Trevor as Morgan La Fay? A fun filled weekend at Rosemere, a gala dance with Hebron Academy, a bountiful Thanksgiving were outstanding events and the Christmas festivi- ties arrived surprisingly soon. Oak Grove fairly bubbled with exuberance as the buildings were decked with green and our huge Christmas tree shown brightly on the campus. Making dolls, attending parties, and carolling through the corridors after our candlelight dinner filled each girl with the season's true spirit. Mrs. Pulsifer's stimulating course in Letter Writing opened the new year, and we were fascinated in creating stories through the medium of a chain of epistles. The Masquerade sponsored by our class brought forth many beautiful, quaint, and amusing costumes, and we all participated in the 47 OAK LEAVES 1950 Minstrel Show which followed it. Our winter term was crowned with ex- citing eventsg an exchange of dances with the French Club at Colby College, the traditional skating parties climaxed by the Owens' delectable cheese dreams were jolly occasions, and weren't those clear, frosty afternoons spent on the rink perfecting rolls, or speeding down the slalom, wonderful? One of the most exciting events was our afternoon of winter sports, din- ner and dance at Hebron,-and all the letters and callers since. We were at home to our sister class, the Sophomores, and then entertained by them at a charming tea. Spring vacation seemed to steal upon us unexpectedly. Our return was enhanced by the deepening verdure of the lawns and early-morning chirpings outside our windows :-those eternal harbingers of spring, which remind us freshly that Commencement is rapidly approaching. The months have scurried past unnoticed, so occupied have we been by the varied projects and endeavors that make each day so interesting. As resi- dents of Senior House, we have cultivated self-reliance, and diligence while weeks of carefree fellowship have dispelled any sense of home-sickness or discouragement. As the day draws closer when we shall leave our hill by the Kennebec as alumnae, we are increasingly aware that in our precious memories of Oak Grove, our senior year will stand as the most delightful. WHEN WE GO T0 HEBRON ACADEMY FOR WINTER SPORTS 48 fl ,..-0' fw, ' x N, W 3 S 1..- wr 1 .- .F vs x- - V , 9 Q X OAK LEAVES 1950 JUNIOR CLASS NOTES Search high and low in all the annals of school history and you'll not find a class more abounding in energy, talent, and real friendliness than the Juniors with their bright-eyed lady-of-dear-ideas, Mrs. Brown. Think of our peppy president who rules study hall with an iron firmness softened by well-placed quips and kindly smiles. Think of our patient ice-cream ven- dors-to say nothing of our loyal buyers who unselfishly break their diets to enlarge our treasury. And did I say talent? We find M. J. following the footsteps of her adored Pagannini, Erika and Vonnie already piano virtuosos, Dorothy charming us with her cowboy songs on the guitar, and Wilma, with her cello and flute. Didi calls us with her clarinet and Elin enchants us with her lovely voice. We are also adorned with artists like Marty, Who's presi- dent of the Art Club, Sunny and Cyn--some of whose works, by the way, are exhibited on various note-book covers. Louise is well on the way to literary fame and Katie's Junior Reading showed a great flair for dramatics. And think of Betty and Shirley whose lovely duet was one of the highlights of the Winter Carnival. But our abilities lie not only in the arts. We expect to see Janet starting her surgical practice one of these days, and of course one glance at Sue reveals the mark, an acid burn maybe-of a chemist. Billie has an unmis- takable legal bearing as becomes a young barrister, and Di is all set for teaching kindergarten. As for Dolly, already an experienced Vet, what would our little mascot do without her? And can we forget Barby's kind- ness and concern for all her classmates or Mrs. Brown's loving thoughtful- ness? Perhaps theirs is the greatest gift. What good memories of this year we have stored away. Our first class meeting when we elected: M. J. vice-presidentg Marty, secretaryg Dolly, treasurer, and Phyllis, humble scribe. Our trip to Rosemere where we all really got acquainted-and Vonnie turned aerialist. Our play Pyramus and Thisbe which produced a state of gay histeria in audience and actors alikeg our Halloween partyg our moonlight skating parties followed by Mrs. Owen's scrumptious cheese dreams. The Valentine tea for our sister class and their tea for us. The Junior Readings which sparkled with talent and inspiration, not to mention Mr. Owen's bountiful ice cream sundaes afterwards. And finally, our adorable surprize package from the Owens, Senator J. C. Cottontail, our fluffy bunny mascot. There will be other good times before the year's out, and we shan't need a chronicle to be reminded of them. This year we have been truly rich. 50 .NX by 'WE li fi!

After we got to know each other, we had our first class meeting. The fol- lowing officers were elected: President, Barbara Ericsong Vice-President, Penley Porterg Secretary, Yvonne Bret, Treasurer, Jean Weymouthg and Class Editor, Deborah Beveridge. We were very glad when Miss Richmond again consented to be our Class Adviser. We have had a wonderful year with many happy and eventful things to remember. For instance, in the fall, our class presented scenes from three plays starring Barbara Ericson and Carol Kruegar in Twelfth Night , Paula Armbruster and Margaret Pennington in The Importance of Being Earnest , and Alice Olds, Nancy Patty and Valerie Taylor in Oklahoma with Janet Leach and Penley Porter as announcers. Our Vesper Service was very impressive as led by Yvonne Bret whose theme was love. We shall always remember our Halloween trip to Rosemere and how grotesque we looked with those wax teeth. We shall also remember the trips to Rose- mere on horseback. Winter brought Mrs. Owen's famous moonlight skating parties when after skating -we come in for the cheese dreams, doughnuts, hot chocolate and folk dancing, all agreeing as we Went to bed that it had been a Wonder- ful time. Another tradition during the winter term is the delightful Teas. fWe had the honor of giving our tea for all the parents who came for the Carnival week-end,J after we had already enjoyed the lovely tea given us by our sister class, the Seniors. K l 2 as QQ at 4' A FLASH AT AI.lClA'S HAPPY BIRTHDAY 53 OAK LEAVES 1950 Immediately after the spring vacation came the try-outs for Sophomore Declamation and how nervous we felt! After it was all over we agreed it had not been as bad as we feared and we were very proud of the nine who were chosen for the finals. That was a wonderful night too, with another Oak Grove tradition, plus an addition. After Junior Readings and Sophomore Declamations, our Principals always take us, all in our party gowns for an automobile ride and ice cream sundfaes. This time they secured tickets for the concert of the Harvard Glee Club in Augusta and then we knew why the hour for Declamations was a little earlier than usual. We heard a full half of the glee club program. Valerie has been chosen as the class marshall for the Seniors, our class- mates have won honors in the Spring Horse show and we are having many happy parties but we feel sad as the year draws to a close and we shall have to say goodbye for the summer to our schoolmates, and some Seniors whom we may never see again, but when we think of what the coming year will bring to us and all the new things we will discover when Oak Grove wel- comes us to another year in September, we are glad. CAUGHT IN THE SUSAN NICHOLS PULSIFER LETTER ROOM 54 OAK LEAVES 1950 FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES Freshmen! Haven't we had a great year? What with Toni, Presidentg Lucia, Vice-President, Alice, Secretary, Pam, Treasurerg and Elise, Class Editor. Remember our candlelight Vespers, the colorful fall with exciting soccer games, and the spirited trail rides over the country side? Then the wonder- ful winter sports that only Maine can oHer? I'm sure that the ski enthusi- asts all loved our new ski slide which was illuminated at night. Will you ever forget the class tea which we gave? We certainly appreci- ated the help Miss Schafenacker and Miss Jenkins gave. Remember the great success of our class play Little Black Sambo so cleverly portrayed by Pam, Toni, Alice, Lucia, Marnie, Sally, and Elise, under the expert direction of Miss Paton? Now Spring is here and the gardens have come forth in all their loveliness but all too soon it will be commencement time and we will have to say good- bye to the seniors and our wonderful big sisters. Can next year be any grander? We hope to prove it can. LITTLE BLACK SAMBO SLEEPS 55 OAK LEAVES 1950 EIGHTH GRADE CLASS NOTES Another happy year opened at Oak Grove on September 14 when all of the eight girls who were in the Seventh Grade last year were here again eager for all the good times the coming months would hold for us. As soon as the upper classes had elected their officers, we had our elections with the following results: President, Suzanne Pikeg Vice President, Carol Duttong Secretary, Jeanne Stanfordg Treasurer, Cynthia Ferris and Class Editor, Janet LaPointe. We all consider ourselves very lucky to have Miss Jenkins as our class teacher. One of the happiest events of the early fall for us was a glorious week- end at Rosemere. One of the most beautiful moments at Oak Grove was the night before Christmas vacation when our Big Sisters came over from Senior House in their choir robes carrying lighted candles and singing Christmas carols just after our lights were out. Early in the new year our Sister Class entertained us at a formal tea and then we entertained for them a few weeks later. The moonlight skating parties have been wonderful this winter. They have been followed by Mrs. Owen's delicious cheese dreams with hot chocolate which made the perfect ending of a perfect evening. Commencement Day is drawing near- er and although we are eager to go to our homes, yet we feel a little sad about the ending of such a happy year. .as-ii 'Q CONCENTRAUON AND ANTICIPATION 56 OAK LEAVES 1950 MASQUE AND DIRK Our busy and happy year opened with Lynn Hann as President, Sandra French as Secretary, Graceann Ridlon as Treasurer, Elin Brown as Head- of-Makeup and Eileen Ames as Head-of-Stagecraft. We acquired six new members at our first initiation, Carol, Connie, Erika, Joyce, Lee and Lucy- Mae. The old members had great fun watching the pledges struggling to complete their numerous daily tasks. Our trips to Augusta for dinner and to see the plays put on by the Augusta Players have been great fun to our members and we have learned more about play production. The Augusta Players put on The Gay Comedy , Three Men on a Horse and the still more hilarious comedy Two Blind Mice about a Government Department that was still functioning al- though it had been abolished three years before. Now as Oak Leaves goes to Press We are planning for our final candle- light ceremony when several more of our hardworking pledges will be initiat- ed and our new officers installed for the coming year. We leave our be- loved Masque and Dirk to next year's members hoping they may carry on its traditions as we have tried to do this year. 57 LW., FX xfwwnf-ww , .3 , may , WM 4 3' . 1 an OAK LEAVES 1950 OAK GROVE SINGS The choir, while always an important part of the school, has been un- usually active this year. We all appreciate greatly the music which the members give to us each Sunday morning in the chapel, but that is only a small part of the work they have done. Remember the beautiful Christmas pageant and the ethereal music that floated over the scenes-and remember the songs the choir has often given us on such occasions as the evening of the Winter Carnival and that of the Horse Show? Of course, the big event of the year was the contest at Portland sponsored by the Maine Federation of Music Clubs. There the choir really excelled, for it came home with superior rating. The soloists also did well, for Mary Lee 1'eceived superior rating while Elin and Joyce both merited excellent . Now as the music season draws to a close, the choir members are anticipating a magnificent climax as they sing the traditional Sanctus on Commence- ment morning. For their coooperation and assistance, the choir is truly grateful to Miss Schafenacker-accompanist, to Sandy-Choir president, and especially to Mrs. Colgan who has helped it so much through her in- spiring directing. Remember the happy evening after our step-singing for Vespers when our Principals invited us all for a lovely ride that included delicious sundaes? As our notes go to press we are looking forward to our operetta. 59 . , 1 Y I 'ww- vw I -s Maw OAK LEAVES 1950 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB At our first meeting we elected Phyllis Tamplin as our new President and Gunnel Sterner as Secretary. During the year we drew up and adopted our Constitution. As before we have sent boxes to Europe where aid is still needed. We had a letter of warm thanks for the big box of dolls and ani- mals which we sent to an orphanage in Finland. Our club sponsored two speakers. Mr. Dikran Hadidian from Lebanon, the home of the author and mystic, Kahlil Gibran, whose book The Prophet We often read was first. He spoke to us on conditions in the Far East on Saturday evening and brought us an inspiring message at Morning Meeting on Sunday. The second guest and speaker was none less than Dr. Sushila Nayyar, who was the private physician to Gandhi and who is doing graduate work at Johns Hopkins before returning as head of the Health Foundation for India. Dr. Nayyar spoke to us of the philosophy of life of Gandhi, the great leader of India and the world. We extend a cordial welcome to our girls at Oak Grove from, Cuba, Ven- ezuela, Chile, Hawaii, Guam, thc Near East, Finland, Sweden and Eng- land. Our Club is again grateful to Mrs. Owen for her guidance and interest. 61 3 . , - ' esp , , ,WL P xi' , W, D n 'I C, is 1 g' 3 Q ah F ' E1 '1-' .-' , xg ,- Q ' f s 4.4 v '.X 4. una. ., .R xx .

After a wonderful fall of riding to- gether in the ring for style and form, over the winding trails beyond the broo-k among the flaming autumn colors for relaxation and beauty, and that twenty-five miles to Rosemere for fellowship and ecstasy, we were en- thusiastic for a new Riding Club. How well we remember presenting our shining horseshoes to our Adviser after Christmas vacation, and then the long week of carrying them. Soon it was time for the Winter Carnival in which we showed our skills in the mounted drill and the quadrille. Never can We forget our moo-nlight rides through the snow covered fields and over the trails, with Mrs. Owen waiting for us with her cheese dreams and hot chocolate. Soon a curly little dog followed us home and adopted us in such an affectionate way that we soon adopted him as the mascot of our Club. Early in the spring we were the first group in the new term for another happy week-end at Rosemere, and the first to christen the new stove fin the big play roomj 'with which our Principals had surprised us. The climax of the whole year came May 13 with parents and friends here from many states for our annual Horse Show, everyone complimenting our beautiful horses and the close competition in eight different classes-the largest number we have ever had at Oak Grove. Besides the ribbons in eight classes there were eight thrilling trophies that had been on exhibition in the foyer, the largest being a tall, slender silver cup on which the name of the champion will be engraved each year. We were thrilled when the judges awarded the championship to Lynn Hann in a very close competition. This year has indeed been a happy one and we all thank Miss Jenkins for the enthusiasm and energy with which she has taught us this year. The winners were as follows: Intermediate 1, Valerie Taylor, 2, Janet Leach, 3, Cynthia Ferris. Hunter Seat 1, Betty Brooks, 2, Sirppa Larrag 3, Barbara Ericson.

M. pool in Augusta. Under the leader- ship of our gym teacher from Norway, Miss Vogt, we perfected our stroke and learned a great deal about diving. The stop watch improved our tim- ing. Soon it came the last Tuesday-our last trip before our spring vaca- tion. The winner was Helen McKell, with Marnie Estabrooks as runner up. The following girls were in the finals: Pamela Battey, Yvonne Bret, Katherine Lang and Gunnel Sterner. Pamela Battey, Patty Lou Churchill, Marnie Estabrooks and Helen McKell were voted the best styled swimmers. Patty Lou Churchill, Katherine Lang and Alice Olds won places as the best divers. We all appreciate Miss Vogt's skill and patience. Our Principals added a happy climax in May when they arranged for a free trip for iinal fun and getting pictures of us in action that will make fine souvenirs. lf 69 727 row 54 ll, gat., 64 OAK LEAVES 1950 CAMERA CLUB This year with Miss Vogt as Adviserg Lynn Hann, Presidentg Gail McLeod, Vice-Presidentg Yvonne Bret, Secretaryg and Patty Lou, Trea- surerg our C. C. has made some fine progress and laid foundations for- an ambitious Club next year. The C. C. girls have had lessons in composition, theory, dark-room technique and mounting. Each has learned how her own camera works and has done a lot of practicing. During the year our Club has sponsored several films, has had an outing with supper and a movie and has always had a lot of fun together. Mr. Cleaves, the Photographer who had done a lot of work for the Na- tional Geographicu and was on our Entertainment Course with movies of wild life, was engaged for individual work with the Camera Club and gave us many helpful pointers on the shooting of a dozen prize-twinning photo- graphs that he exhibited. Now our days are busy taking snapshots for Oak Leaves , but we are thinking about next year, too. Our darkroom has been supplied with reading matter and restocked for September when we shall welcome new members and be able to start with more advanced work because of all our members have learned this year. mi' v . CANDID CAMERAS CLICK QUICKLY 65 X x 1 if 'N ig' Wi it 3? x 'V If , , A tw OAK LEAVES 1950 RECREATIO As we come closer to the end of another glorious year at OG we remember all the beautiful days we have spent outdoors, riding, playing tennis, skat- ing, skiing or just reveling in the beauty of gar- dens, groves and long horizons all about us. As is usual at Oak Grove we have had a full and active athletic year under our charming and certainly competent gym instructor from Norway, Miss Vogt. Just watching her in a folk dance, swim- ming, skating, skiing or whatever the sport might be has been an inspiration to non-athletes as well as our athletes. One of the first exciting events of the year was choosing two majors for the Azure and Rose teams. The Azures fformerly Scarletsj were delighted to have as their Major our graceful, fun-loving Lynn, while the Rose team tformerly Blackj was equally thrilled with our sparkling, enthusiastic Gail. The fact that the rival Majors were roommates may have accounted for the complete co-operation and good sportsmanship between the two, even in their closest matches. Our fall term was surely filled with a variety of happy athletic activities. We will never forget the strenuous soccer tournament when not one single point was scored in three games. Even before all the leaves had turned to their glorious October coloring, our thoughts were turning more and more toward winter sports. No sooner did the first ice glaze the pond than our fancy figure skat- eis were racing down the hill to tantalize us so much with their skill that the novices came out with eagerness to acquire the same perfection. How could anyone ever forget the beauty of our evergreens and groves in that first soft snow which was so thrilling to many of us who had never seen snow before? Oh, the ecstasy of skiing for the first time along the trails when new snow glistens on every twig. 66 Www . 3 , 52 ,A- 'y5,:..,,, , W' X Wm XR iw , ,ww W AQ 5' 5 ,Y N X ' ' .xx ff , .-ff -1? X 15 if rf, Msg ,., , OAK LEAVES 1950 The outstanding event of the winter term was our Carnival held in all its splendor on February 18, when many parents came to see and admire. Long applause was won by the precision of the advanced figure skaters in the Queen's Court and the exhibition by the Chorus. The skating part of the Carnival was organized and directed by Mary Jane who is one of our best figure skaters and a beloved leader. The weather was perfect and our beautiful Queen Gail smiled from her throne at the gala affair in her honor. The thrilling ski exhibition came on the hills and trails immediately after the skating. Our parents were surprised to see the techniques that we had acquired and were much amused by the different races we put on for their enjoyment so that regardless of the scores everyone felt like a winner. The third part of the Carnival was in the ring where the Riding Club put on a. fine show with a drill and a quadrille. We all plunged up the hill with the victorious Rose team and the sportsmenlike Azures. The end of a perfect day came when Oak Grove entertained all our parents for a buffet supper. Winter days smiled upon us and made up for its late arrival by lingering until almost the end of the term, especially at Hebron Academy where we went for an afternoon of winter sports, dinner and a delighful evening of dancing. Another expedition that was thrilling to the busload that set off for Rumford was the International skiing events that had to be brought to Maine because there was not enough snow at Lake Placid. And how our Oak Grovers from Norway, Sweden and Finland did converse in their na- tive tongues with all the Scandinavian champions. SUNNY SKIES. SOFT SNOXV, SMILING SKIHRQ 68 OAK LEAVES 1950 Immediately after winter sports the basketball season was in full swing, featured by that hilarious and never to be forgotten Faculty-Student game until we finally won. The competition Was close and the playing strenuous as we picked up a few new techniques from our illustrious faculty, which we tried to use in the annual Azure-Rose struggle for basketball champion- ship-won by the Rose Team. At the climax of these jolly Tuesday evenings when we had the Augusta Y pool for instruction in swimming, we had a gala evening there in May for kodaking and fun. As we recall the winter Tuesday nights 'when we had arrived after 'lights , crept to bed with soaking hair but thoroughly satisfied and refreshed by our swim, we plan on next year's Y nights. The formal gym classes have been such fun this year with all the new callisthenics brought from Europe by our Miss Vogt. She had been so modest about the Spring Exhibition, not only our guests but even we were unprepared for the style and rhythm of the exercises for grace, health and good posture, to say nothing about the beauty and dash of the classes in Modern Dance or the grace of the exercises of the large classes with the Azure and Rose balls. With the first camp supper, blossomed the fans of softball just as an exciting but short season of basketball had again filled the interlude between Winter sports and all the spring games, with tennis, riding, and archery taking the largest number every day. All the horse lovers and that means more than two-thirds of the girls were busy in the spring term practising for the annual Oak Grove Horse Show which always comes in the middle of May and brings parents and friends from far and near. Again the weather was absolutely perfect and the competition of the drills and stunts, were well done, the horses happy and handsome and our riders with their teacher got many compliments, from the girls in the Beginner Class to the experts who made a fine exhi- bition of jumping. After the Horse Show We had another wonderful camp supper to which all our parents were invited before the Musical in the evening. Since the Horse Show, there has been more riding than ever, more tennis and more archery. As Oak Leaves goes to press the Seniors are practic- ing for their Commencement processional that will bring a formal close to another happy and wonderful year. 69 'av Q Q Q m Q Q if H' , 'M 9, r' J 1 ff W 1 I, 1 ox 1.
