Q P . ,X , r 1 f ' x W M THE OXFORDIAN s u ki UE f 1 9 5 8 OXFORD SCHOOL, HARTFORD We the Class of 1958 dedicate this book to the study of the past which helps man to know himself THE PAST The past is found not only in a history course. Art, music, and literature give to us the masterpieces of other ages and cul- tures. Science is the product of past observations and of formu- lation of theories. These areas reveal the range of mankind,s capabilities-from making wars to making sonnets. The person who studies the past begins to understand his cultural and social background. He meets great men and not so great men, benefit- ing from the perspective which time and distance offer. He can see the significance in the experiences of others who have lived before him. From his own reactions to what he learns he dis- covers his beliefs. That study is in vain, however, which is undertaken in slavish devotion to the past and not related to resolving the conflicts of the present and the future. The purpose of the in- tense and thorough studies here at Oxford is not the cramming of inert facts into a reluctant skull. Oxford's success is in the personal success of the individual student as she relates and utilizes her knowledge-the first step toward wisdom. Here discipline is both cause and result of appreciation. We at Oxford have been made especially aware of learning as a creative process which transcends the passive posture of merely being taught.

VII VIII IX X XI XII THE INK-STAINED RECORD As bewildered Sevens we became members of the 714 community. Here we were introduced to Miss Carlisle's Mamsy and Mikey and also to female maple leaves. A hint of future antics was seen in Linda's embarrassing ques- tions and Elise's misplacing a tack. Eight new girls joined us in usurping Guernsey Hall. We danced OJ at the Christmas program and watched one artistic classmate draw caricatures on the blackboard. After a winter of Heart of my Heart and e'Knock-Knocki' jokes we squeezed into the O. S. A. Wearing lipstick, we filled the study hall with books and noise. Miss Harry patiently tried to temper the enthusiasm of our morning discussions, in which we compared notes on neighboring prep schools. Classes crowded into Miss Wuori's third Hoot Latin room to stumble through translations, and we all enjoyed an unforgettable train ride to New York to see A Midsummer Night's Dream. Decked out as cards we attended the Mad Hatter,s Old Girl-New Girl Party. Certain individuals began to collect shaggy shetlands and six footers fscarvesj. For some reason we were often last into chapel. Incidentally, most of us then began our yearly habit of leading services. Nine girls invaded the trails at Stowe during spring vacation, and we ended our sophomore year with one of those slumber parties at Lisa's. Stair-climbing juniors stepped off on weekends in sophisticated sheaths. Our excursions included a trip to see Macbeth and another of those Stowe ski- trips. Some of us showed great restraint by wearing grey skirts on May first. Now sixteen, we got our licenses and scrambled for summer jobs. Soon to be Seniors, we took our hrst try at College Boards and climbed that Hnal step singing We Hate to See You Gov to the girls of '57 at Class Night. Our little sisters joined us in marching into the first day exercises, and we honored them with a picnic at Anne's preceding the Old Girl-New Girl Party. We decorated the lounge with one statue in particular and many ban- ners in general. We opened our door in hopes that the rest of the school would open doors for us. Routine lounge life consisted of bridge, those en- lightening discussions, and neglect. We were invaded by Sputniks and the Asian Flu. In june we said good-bye, signing yearbooks at the Wrightis house in Fenwick and celebrating Commencement with a dinner-dance at Farmington. f v i L Q L CLASS VII Firrl Raw, Zeb to right: Leslie Carvalho, Beatrice Black QRepresentative to junior O.S.A.j, Rena Koopman, jacquelyn Sutton.

I feel that every different type of music instills in the apprecia- tive listener a mood suitable to that particular piece of music. Many emotions are conveyed to the listener through music, as the composer had planned. Although classical music is often crashing and impressive, I always think of it as a melancholy kind of music. It makes me pensive or sad to listen to it, and at the same time it is a very relaxing kind of music to listen to. Violins have such gentle tones as to put anyone to sleep, yet short choppy notes played on this in- strument can affect the listener in an entirely different way. I always think of a loud unsteady beat as representing something angry, and therefore I become rather tense as I feel a sense of wrong within me. Soft delicate notes do not suggest anger, and I become relaxed. There is much contrast in classical music, and therefore many different emotions are represented throughout one piece of music. Every song in Dixieland jazz has a steady beat, and all the melody instruments skip around the melody with quick sharp notes. To me this is a happy kind of music. There are no discordant sounds, and the beat is not irregular. The musi- cians of Dixieland jazz are more or less composers themselves, as they improvise all the time. They express their enthusiasm through their instruments, and often urge each other on with witty remarks which make the atmosphere informal. The audi- ence responds to the enthusiasm also by urging the musicians to play on, and it perceives the excitement and bounce of the music. Progressive jazz is a new type of music which is increasingly gaining its foot- hold in the world of music. I do not understand it, however, so I shall speak in terms of one who doesn't understand it. Every time I listen to it, I feel that it is never going to stop. I feel as if I were shut in a room with no way to get out, and I become more and more desperate as time goes by. It is the feeling of being trapped somehow, and perhaps I am afraid of this music. The tones are discordant also. Perhaps as I hear and learn more about Progressive jazz, I shall learn to love it as I have other kinds of music. EMOTIONS IN AUTUMN JEANETTE STONER, IX Passionate hate Is the brilliant reds and shocking oranges of Autumn. Blinding love, So like pure, fresh fog making someone deaf and dumb, Intense fear, When the rhododendron cowardly crouches in the brisk cold, Thriving ambition Is the wind in the trees making barren, bold. Burning envy, The trees prematurely bare lacking the radiant beauty of the leaves. Cold bitterness, Dark, dead leaves on the ground surrounding the trees, Deep depression, On a grey, blank morning the sky overshadowed with doubt. Wondrous happiness, Indian Summer and exhilarating freshness in a spout. VAGABONDS OF NATURE EDNA HUBBARD, VIII Autumn has at last arrived bringing with it the changing of garb of many leaves and the migrating of many birds. But to me, the most beautiful of the autumn oc- currences is the opening of the milkweed pods and the spilling forth of millions of tiny, silky parachutes. As the pod opens, the sun shines down upon the seeds, still wet from the in- terior of the green chamber. The wind gently fluffs and dries the little parachutes until they take on the appearance of strands of white silk. Still clinging to the dead pod, they resist the playful wind as it tries to dislodge them into joining their kin who are swooping in the field. The wind triumphs at last and the small-scale para- chutes are charmed into the atmosphere. Now up, and then almost touching the brown stalks, waiting to receive them when their frolic ends, they fly, covering the field with white cotton. The sun, glinting on the white threads, reflects from them into a beautiful silver. Finally the wind tires of the game and ceases altogether, letting the one-time parachutes fall to the ground to next year become stalks and in their turn to produce these beauteous little things of nature. EARTHBOUND GAY Moon, XII A harsh wail, Earthbound and physical, Pushes its way out of my heart. I do not want to hear it. I am alone. But what is aloneness ? Is it not a chance to free my soul, To let it flow upward, outward, Knowing no boundaries ? Is it not now free To fill itself with Beauty, joy, and pain, Until it overflows And gives itself to God? Why then, do I fear aloneness, When I could not live without it? Is it because I too, Am earthbound so much of the time? OBSERVATION BETTINA BATTERSON, VIII The front door opened and a small frail boy stepped out into the brisk fall morning. His face was white, the skin drawn tightly over the meek bones. It was the beginning of the second week of school. Chester was terrified, for he seemed so small, so weak compared to his hefty classmates. In the past week he had started football, but had completely flubbed everything. His own team wouldn't throw the ball to him for fear of losing ground. They thought he couldn't do anything. Oh! How awful it was! Now, as Chester closed the door and walked down the sidewalk to school, he suddenly noticed what a wonderful day it was. He thought how lovely the trees looked, laden with leaves of red and yellow. The sky was a deep blue with patches of fluffy white. The birds circled above the trees, the brilliant sun flashing on their outstretched wings. Chester wondered how so many different colors could blend together to produce such a beautiful picture. Time passed, and soon Chester reached his school, clutched by fear. Suddenly as he walked up the driveway, still observing nature, an idea came to him. The rea- son the colors blended so well together was that each shone deeply in its own way. Every leaf contributed something of its own. Chester reviewed his problem at school with this idea about nature in mind, and realized how much they were alike. He decided to stand up to his own abilities and not to be bogged down with shyness. Happy, Chester marched into school, whistling. THE EVE OF WINTER MILLICENT GORDON, IX The wind comes roaring through the trees And Withers the rose's bloom. The trees stand dark, and tall, and thing The skies are full of gloom. The squirrels and the chipmunks small Are scampering to and fro, Telling all their furry friends To hide before the snow. The bent brown grass dies bitterly As frost takes up its stand, And the whole world in silence waits For snow to smooth the land. SAILING JUDITH GOODWIN, VIII Like a seagull, proud and white, The sailboat flies across the sparkling waves, Contrasting sharply with the blue, she tips, And then comes up. About - then back - The spray flies out Around the bow. The skipper loves it, And a wild Ecstasy engulfs him As the fresh, keen breeze Blows the stinging salt into his face. His boat - Can race the wind, outfly the gulls. She swoops, She flies. Then, trembling, She stops to rest. Her sails come down. And quietly she rocks, All through the night. THE LEGEND OF THE SNOWFLAKES JAN LARSON, VIII Once upon a time in the town of Vladivostok lived a snowflake named Ivan. Ivan was a victim of Asian Flu. You've but seventeen days to live,', warned the Dr. Stragoflake. Ivan nodded. I should have had that second flu shot, he thought mournfully. He was so thin you could see through him. After leaving the doctor's office, Ivan just lay about the doorway in the grippe of remorse and sadness. I do so want to have some fun before I go - maybe be part of a snowball !', The very thought cheered him. Suddenly Ivan was jolted right out of his imaginary snowball. He had been kicked into the air by a fur boot, and before he had recovered from the jar he was sailing east with the wind. Be- cause he was so underweight he was pushed and carried at a good speed through the air. Breezing along he again began to wonder about finding some happiness. You know of course that it is the hope of every snowflake to die according to the Secret Society of Snowflakes. That is, all truly noble snowflakes must die or melt from warmth from within, not from without ! Ivan smiled at his own foolishness. How would or could he accomplish such a feat? The wind settled. Ivan glided gently towards earth. He lit gracefully on the hub of an oxcart. The oxcart hit a rut. Up and into the air bounced Ivan, nar- rowly missing a gate post. Ivan sailed on just past the corner of a barn and came to rest against a small window. Inside an oil lamp burned. Its light fell dimly on the faces of the people. There were no smiles - only gloom within the little room. And Ivan stayed right there in Mukden for the better part of five days gazing into this place. He just never saw so much rice! If they eat any more of that stuff, Ilm leaving. Ivan was so depressed ! His little points were beginning to droop! And what do you think happened for Sunday dinner? RICE l' hollered Ivan, and catching hold of a brisk breeze - away he went. He stopped briefly in Mongolia but this place made poor Ivan's points even droopier. On went Ivan the Snowflake! His trip across the pole was uneventful. However, he did see some fine pine trees and he did admire the caribou. The days passed. One evening bright lights became visible. Ivan believed these lights belonged to the town of Starkwater, North Dakota. There was an undetectable difference in the air. Ivan felt he was gaining weight. Travel became difhcult. He stopped at the nearest lighted window. I'm feeling quite gay, said Ivan outloud. Why - he asked himself- the seventeen days are about gone. He looked up through the window. Ivan's points began to sharpen. There in one corner of the room stood a tall evergreen. Its limbs held twinkling lights. Children were laughing! They danced about with toys in their arms. Faces of the older people were pleasant and smiling. The warmth and good fellowship inside that room seemed to be seeping right through the window pane into Ivan. Ivan had never known such happiness ! Yes, Ivan melted away - nobly and with dignity because the Christmas Spirit had so warmed his tiny snowflake heart. Two English Versions of the japanese Haiku The haiku is a poem of three verses. The first and last verses have ,five syllables, the second seven. It presents an image to symbolize an abstract idea.

KANASHIMI fFleeting Sadnessj SHARON CAMPBELL, XII Falling snow smothers Footprints I walk over, and Soon mine too will fade. THE STORM HESTER DUFFIELD, VIII The sky grows darker. The sea becomes restless, And the sea gulls fly for safety. All of a sudden a clap of thunder fills the air, A streak of lightning crosses the sky, Then the rain starts, Pelting on the patched sands. The sea is like a lion on the rampage Throwing itself on the rocks and sending up a spray of foam, The wind whips in and out of the sand dunes leaving a trail behind it. But as soon as it starts it ends, Again the sea is restful, The wind has stopped its game, The rain is tamed, And it turns to a mere drizzle. The storm is over. THE EARLY MORNING LOUISE CLAIRE P1ERsoN, VII As dawn breaks in a small canyon up in the mountains, a proud stag, standing on a grassy knoll, lifts his head to take in another breath of the clear fresh air. The soft lush green grass below his feet is lightly covered with the new morning dew, and while the wind whistles softly in the trees, the grass quivers and sparkles in the morning sunlight, resembling sparkling cobwebs on a green background. The stag then turns and gazes at the little waterfall behind him that is splashing happily about on the rocks below. The little brook into which the waterfall flows is merrily tinkling and happily bubbling over in the clearness of the early morn. Other than this, all in the little canyon is quiet and still in the early brightness of the new day. THE MEETING HOUSE LISA SHAFFER, XII I sat quietly, studying the pattern in the carpet. The leaves of wool seemed linked together, bound in friendship. The oak bench on which I sat was hard and straight, yet it, like all the others, was cushioned and comfortable. At the front of the room were the facing benches where the overseers were sitting. The clock, whose minute hand I used to watch impatiently as it slowly passed from number to number, hung on the wall above the entrance to the other section of the build- ing. Younger children were probably watching the clock now, anxiously waiting for twelve o'clock. Sunbeams, out of keeping with the mood of the room, danced in the air, illuminated by the sunlight that streamed through the bottle glass of the windows, partly blocked by the centuries-old ivy that covered most of the building. A green vase of forsythia had been placed on the maple table between the two groups of facing benches. All was quiet. This was the meeting house. The first time I had sat in the quietness of the meeting house I had been in third grade. In the Quaker school I attended, there was a tradition that each of the seniors invite a third grader to go with her to the last meeting of the school year. That Wednesday, each tightly clutching the hand of her senior, seventeen little girls walked from school to the old meeting house, wondering what they would find in- side. When we finally stopped our excited chatter, the headmaster ceremoniously opened the door, and for the first time I entered the cool quiet of the oak-paneled room. There I had seen the carpet, the benches, the vase of forsythia, the clock, and the sunbeams as I saw them now, but with the complete fascination felt when see- ing something for the first time. I had sat quietly and had listened obediently to the girls who rose to speak, but I had anxiously watched the minute hand of the clock. When our headmaster on the facing bench had finally turned to the girl on his right and had shaken hands, ending meeting, I had gladly shaken hands with my senior and had followed her outside where the chattering began again. We were talking outside the meeting house on the stone porch that ran along the facade, but it was no longer the excited chatter of eight-year-olds. We were now the graduating class, who were soon to enter college. Soon we became quiet and entered the meeting house for our baccalaurate, then we were with our parents. Then I sat on the benches, not only silently, but reverently. I listened intently to the headmaster as he offered a prayer to God. I examined the roomg it was the same room that I had seen the first time, yet it seemed changed. Now as I sat quietly with my parents, praying and thinking about life - peace and war, joy and sadness, birth and death -I felt the presence of God, and in this quiet room I rose and spoke. NOW JANE WRIGHT, XII I'm tired of waiting, I'rn tired. Let me sleep. Long years we've been readying, A room of dithered females, Domesticated. Each girl Has stitched a garment of experience, Embroidered large with lessons learned, Pearl-adorned with social graces, Each body, Cleansed of all but glowing virtues, Is perfumed with the scent of subtle wilesg Each mind, Exposed to Immortality, Is disciplined and prodded. Readying's a noisy daily process. I'd rather sleep. We wait for what? I ask, But they don't say, and that's no help, Or else they say, and that's no help either, For I don't know. Perhaps the fun of dressing up - Exclaiming and comparing and the dreaming Maybe thatis enough, Maybe not. So I wait in order to Hnd out. Meanwhile I, Meanwhile push time by With laughing, gossip, learning, And an occasional casual visitor For whom one must not over care Qlt is too early yetj. And others proud display Their silks, but I Keep hid away in my bureau drawer A blue and golden scarf, A silver bracelet and a ring Until a special day. Please let me sleep until then ! THE SURVIVOR BONNIE PERKINS, XII He sat there, his chair tilted backward, and stared into space. The one-room shack was barren except for the man and the chair. The somber gray walls gave out no warmth, no friendliness. Not a sound could be heard, not even the peaceful chirp of a cricket, not even an occasional creak from the worn floor boards. He was alone - completely alone. Left by himself, without another human being, in a lone shack in the middle of a vast land -in the middle of nowhere. He couldn't remember what had happened. He couldnit remember how it happened. He couldn't remember and he didn't even care. He wasn't frightened. He didn't wonder what would become of him. He didn't even care. At first he didn't think of anything at all. He just sat there like a huge stone image, looking straight before him. He was a god surveying the vast expanse of nothingness which lay before him. The vast expanse of nothingness which belonged completely and entirely to him. And then, as he began to awake from his trance, he relived in a moment those horrible weeks. The lights flashed on, thousands of them every second. It seemed as though they would never stop. And the noises -those terrible noises, those terrifying, deafening noises. All around him huge stones came hurtling down from nowhere. They crushed everything, just everything. It was spectacular. It was dreadful. It was 'unbelievable It was true. He was awake now, but he didnit panic. He stared into space as before. He didn't even care. Nothing was left to care for. His mind was active now. He sat and he thought, thought of people - rich people, poor people, common people, and important people. He laughed a little. Each one of those people had, in his own way, given to and taken from life. He laughed again - a coarse, harsh laugh. Each one of those people had struggled for a decent and successful life. Each one had worried, had been happy, had solved problems, had become sad. Each one had kept on struggling for life. And where did it get them - he laughed again a laugh that was hollow and cold, a laugh that was bitter and mean -it got them nowhere, that's where it got them. It got them crushed by millions of huge ugly stones, it got them frightened by horrible noises, it got them blinded by bright ominous lights - that's where it got them. Life, what a wonderful thing, he thought. He started to laugh but something stopped him. All of a sudden his mind stopped working. He couldn't remember any more. He couldn't feel any more. He was once again a huge stone god surveying the vast expanse of nothingness which lay before him and he didnit even care. He sat there, his chair tilted backward, and stared into space.
