L ' Ami 1935 Foreword AS THE college strides for- ward in the march of prog- ress, ever after a backward glance, she gathers more closely around her the garments of ear- lier times, and clings to those blessings that survive from the beginning. If this first yearbook can harbor eventful memories of the past while serving as a guide- post for the future, its mission has been fulfilled.

Gifts by Mrs. Wood- ward and Mrs. Martin made the erection of the building possible; and at every public performance two seats are reserved for them as an appreciative tribute from the students. Eugene, that is all very interesting, but why the gloomy ex- pressions on the faces of the students who just came out? WEAN, did you notice that old brokendown CJJI tree in front of Hoover Hall.

It is now used as a men ' s dormitory, although the laboratory for science and the music hall are located in the south wing. ftftir NEEDN ' T tell you, Jean, that this is 111 Kanyon Hall — the women ' s dormitory ' ' Is this, Eugene, the place where people take the back way out to go roller skating? 66 Ask Miss Carter, the matron. I understand that she is very well informed about such activi- ties. A9 E ' RE proud of our col- lege canyon, Jean, be- cause very few schools have such a beautiful scenic spot.

That right is reserved for seniors. But) Eugene, why does everybody come down here in couples? Perhaps our students are very ap- preciative of nature. Well, let ' s ramble back to school. I have a class. ADMINISTRATION Edited by — Marjorie Seely A AA AAA L ' Ami 1935 Board of M aimgers A GREAT deal of the success of Pacific college during the past years is due to the board of managers which determines the policies of the college and in gen- eral is responsible for its affairs. In addition to acting as the policy forming body, the board elects the members of the faculty and has charge of the college finances and the conferring of degrees. The board is composed of fifteen members, five of whom are elected each year for a term of three years. The president of the college acts as an ex-officio member. Regular quarterly meetings are held by the board. Dr. Thomas W. Hester of Newberg has served as president since November of 1930, when he succeeded Alpheus R. Mills. Joseph McCracken of Scotts Mills is now acting as vice-president, Hervey M. Hoskins of Newberg as secretary, and Oliver Weesner of Newberg as treasurer. 11 L 9 Ami  35 Gulley Conover Sutton Faculty LEVI T.

V Jf The student body organization is responsible for the annual Homecoming day, for May day, and such activities as the student body play and the college forensics. In addition it sponsors student body parties, pep meetings, and in general seeks to promote unity of thought and purpose among the students. During the past year the student body has undertaken two additional activities, the publication of this yearbook, L ' Ami , and the support of the college orchestra. Elwood Egelston has efficiently served as president of the student body for the 1934-35 term with Garnet Guild as vice-president, Helen Lou Povenmire as secre- tary, and Clayton Hicks as treasurer. These officers comprised the executive com- mittee to whom much of the success of the student body is due. 14 6 1? AS SB : : P Edited by — Raehelle Penibertoii ▲ ▲A AAA I Ami 1935 Seniors WELVE members of the senior class, who built up an enviable record over the four-year college span, reached the first rung on the ladder of success in June when diplomas were presented to the graduates by President Levi T. Penning- ton at commencement. Two-thirds of the group have gained all of their higher education at Pacific. Senior officers during the past year were as follows : president, Angus Hen- rickson ; vice-president, Helen Wehrley ; secretary-treasurer, Elizabeth Aebischer. A large percentage of the members have held prominent offices in every organiza- tion on the campus, and all have participated in some way to help build a bigger and better Pacific college. Two outstanding events during the first-year period were the freshman play, How ' s Your Health 4 ? and the rook party held at the home of Mr. Chris R. Ae- bischer, when kidnapers and their like prowled in the darkness. As sophomores, the group broadened its scope of endeavors, and participated in such activities as the freshman initiation, which was successfully administered to the incoming class; the sophomore entertainment that took place in the brickyard canyon, after which a number in the class made a memorable overnight trip to the top of Larch mountain ; and various informal roller skating parties. The annual junior-senior banquet, held at the Friends church, marked a high point in the group ' s third year activities. The juniors also decorated for the musical baccalaureate and commencement. The senior year was the climax to all activities carried on throughout the three previous years. Aside from the usual parties and banquets, the seniors gave several chapel programs, took complete charge of the concluding Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. services, were active in all student functions and then presented a class night program and commencement that proved to be a fitting climax to four years of schol- astic and extra-curricular activity. 15 L Ami 1935 Moore A.

With Donald Hodson as president, the freshmen year was comparatively peaceful. A high point in the initial year was the presentation of the three-act play, Apple Blossom Time . The sopho- more year was presided over by Ronald Sherk, and various other traditional activities such as the rook initiation and the sophomore party were carried out. The junior class has listed twenty-two members during the current school year, with the following people holding major offices: president, Ruthanna McCracken ; vice-president, Marjorie Seely; secretary, Pearl Kivett ; treasurer, Ray Hansberry. The third year students have been especially prominent in college social functions. The junior-senior banquet, one of the outstanding events on the school calendar, was given the graduates by the class of 1936, and proved a distinct success. 18 L ' Ami 1935 Seely Hampton McCracken Hicks Coulson Campbell Wilson Coleman Rice Raster Juniors When the L ' Ami went to press, the junior class had not made known its gift to Pacific college. However, plans to raise money for the project were being put in locomotion. The class has not been especially prominent in men ' s athletics, although six junior girls earned positions on the volleyball team that experienced a successful season. A like number of men performed on five different men ' s athletic combinations. The Crescent , under junior editorship and management experienced another successful year in the college newspaper field, while the annual staff lists the names of three juniors on its roll. To climax the nine months of activity, the junior class contributed its services toward making the commencement week program a signal success. 19 IWmi 1935 Sophomores HE sophomore class, guided through the current year by Mary Collver, presi- dent ; John Dimond, vice-president ; Mary Brooks, secretary, and Ben Luethe, treasurer, has attained recognition in nearly every branch of col egiate activity. In 1933 the group entered Pacific college forty-nine strong and one year later more than sixty-seven percent of that group was still on hand. As freshmen their outstanding achievement was the presentation of a three-act play, The Man From Nowhere . The sophs started off the current year right by initiating a large gathering of incoming rooks, followed by the sophomore party in which the freshmen were welcomed into the student body. A majority of the positions on Pacific athletic teams were filled by sophomores in 1934- ' 35. The sophomores ' gift to the school was a drinking fountain which was placed in the gymnasium. 20 L 9 Ami 1935 WSStm 4 n fMm Freshmen HE freshman class which entered Pacific college in September, 1934, more than climbed the heights to which it aspired during the introductory year. The group commenced its term under the capable leadership of Lewis Hoskins, President; Louise Arney, vice-president; Isabel Frost, secretary; Louis Coffin, treasurer. The publishing of an annual became possible through the enthusiasm and in- terest the freshmen provoked. The freshmen class gift to Pacific college was a cash donation to the infant L ' Ami . Freshmen included dramatics, athletics, and social endeavors in their list of ac- tivities. The class play, The McMurray Chin , was a distinct success from every standpoint. The class upheld one of the established traditions in the college by entertaining the sophomore class at the annual freshman-sophomore picnic, repaying in a com- plimentary manner, the second-year group ' s initiation exercises during the first part of the year. 21 I Ami 1935 Pluck Pluck wins ! It always wins ! Though days be slow And nights be dark ' twixt days that come and go. Still pluck will win ; its average is sure ; He gains the prize who will the most endure : Who faces issues ; he who never shirks ; Who waits and watches, and who always works. WHEN our parents were students at Pacific college, they remember seeing these lines mounted as a motto and hung in the hall where all might see. But in the changing of the years, somehow the words have disappeared. The chang- ing of the year ! Has it brought a change in values, too % I wonder if Pluck still wins. Is the loss of the motto typical of a greater loss; that of stability and charac- ter 4 ? It seems to me that there are three main struggles which a student has to face in college. The first is an economic one. How often have we seen our classmates con- quer this difficulty ! Such students have to give up much of social activity and often the joy of participating in student body offices; but here pluck wins, he gains the prize who will the most endure. Another battle is the one against self. Self-discipline becomes a new and potent factor in the development of the individual upon his arrival at college. Whereas at home when a student has to complete a given piece of work by a certain time, his mo- ther or someone else comes to his aid ; he is dismayed at college to find that he, him- self, is responsible for his work. Sometimes it is very difficult for him to adjust himself to such a rigid schedule as college demands. But here again, pluck wins, he gains the Prize . . . who faces issues . . . and who always works. Lastly, there is the struggle of personality. So many things have contributed to what we call personality — original endowment, environment, training, and such, that diverse conflicts are created within the idividual. Among those we find the struggle for dominance, for attention, for power ; as well as that against shyness, sup- pression, and a feeling of inferiority. Each student finds himself in a personality conflict in the larger struggle for socialization. But even here, pluck wins ! Its average is sure . Students, look up ! Though days be slow and nights be dark . . . still pluck will win ! — Dorene Larimer. 22 ORGANIZATION Edited by — Louise Arney awe Peggy atis ▲ AA Tref ian Literary Society ORGANIZED for the purpose of developing literary appreciation and pro- moting good fellowship in the student body, the Trefian Literary society made its Pacific college debut in the year 1914. All women students and lady members of the faculty are eligible for membership in the organization, which now lists twenty- seven members on the roll. Regular bi-weekly meetings are held by the society in the parlors of Kanyon Hall. Programs featuring literary and musical numbers, constitute the entertain- ment for each meeting. The officers presiding during the first term were : president, Helen Lou Poven- mire ; vice-president, Lera Rice ; secretary, Mary Brooks ; treasurer, Mary Collver ; critic, Dora Bales; reporter, Jean Gardner; marshal, Ruth Wilde; social chairman, Violet Braithwaite ; faculty adviser, Miss Emma Kendall. Officers for the second semester were: president, Helen Wehrley ; vice-president, Isabella Wilson ; secretary, Eileen Kenworthy ; treasurer, Dora Bales ; critic, Ruth Jacobs; reporter, Isabel Frost; marshal, Doris Darnielle; social chairman, Jean Gardner; faculty adviser, Miss Annice Carter. 23 L ' Ami 1935 Y. M. C. A. (JTIP ' HE Young Men ' s Christian Association of Pacific college is an indigenous III spiritual movement of students and faculty. The association welcomes and strives to include in the membership all men in the college who declare themselves in sympathy with the purpose and make it their own personal program of allegiance and service. The purpose of the Y M. C. A. is threefold. It builds up the spiritual, mental, and physical life of its members. Several projects were undertaken by the organization itself as well as with the Y. W. C. A. One of the major undertakings was a public auction, the money from which furnished the Y. M. C. A. room. At the beginning of each year the association sponsors a Stag Mix for new men in school. The officers for the year 1934-35 were as follows : Eugene Coffin, president; Harvey Campbell, vice-president; Joe Rothrock, sec- retary; and Allen Hadley, treasurer. 24 LWnii 1935 Y. W. C. A. EVELOPMENT of the students ' character four-square — socially, physically, spiritually, and mentally — is the purpose of the Young Women ' s Christian association of Pacific college. Each Wednesday, association meetings, and every two weeks, discussion groups are held to further the religious and mental life of the members. The community is benefited by the Y. W. C. A. social service and deputa- tion work. The women ' s group is very active socially. This year the organization was host- ess to a cabinet conference of the small colleges in Oregon. In collaboration with the Y. M. C. A. a reception of new students was held in Kanyon Hall. A big and little sister movement, a mother ' s tea, and a May breakfast were other leading social events on the Y. W. C. A. program. During the past year Elizabeth Aebischer has presided over the organization, as- sisted by Miss Violet Braithwaite, vice-president ; Lera Rice, secretary ; and Mar- jorie Seely, treasurer. Miss Annice Carter acted as the association adviser through- out the year. 25 Men s Athletic Association HE Men ' s Athletic association of Pacific college promotes and sponsors men ' s J|[_ athletics on the campus. Membership in the organization consists of all the men in school, with the business of the association being conducted by the athletic council, of which the president of the group, Eugene Coffin ; vice-president, Angus Henrickson; secretary, Allen Hadley ; treasurer, Louis Sandoz ; senior representative, Charles Henrickson; junior representative, Clayton Hicks; sophomore representative, Ned Green ; and freshmen representative, Arney Houser, are members. Professor Perry Macy is the faculty adviser to the organization. Athletically and financially the year proved a distinct success. Increased gate receipts enabled the M. A. A. to buy new football, basketball, baseball, and tennis equipment. During the year a revision of the constitution was made, providing for a man- ager and an assistant for each sport. New managers were as follows: football, Allen Hadley; basketball, Angus Henrickson and Ben Luethe ; baseball, Albert Craig and Eldon Bush ; track, Ray Hansberry. 26 Women ' s Athletic Association LL women of Pacific college who are enrolled in physical education or are 7 working for awards, automatically become members of the Women ' s Athletic association. This organization aims to create an attitude of good sportsmanship through the promotion and support of women ' s athletics. The W. W. A. forwards and supervises such sports as basketball, volleyball, baseball, hiking, tennis, and archery. Managers, whose duties are to schedule games, keep records of individual Player ' s time and recommend awards to the athletic coun- cil, are elected for each of the above sports. Officers for the year 1934- ' 35 were as follows: president, Marguerite Nordyke ; vice-president, Isabella Wilson ; secretary, Pearl Kivett ; treasurer, Ruthanna Mc- Cracken. Athletic managers were : basketball, Lera Rice ; volleyball, Violet Braith- waite; hiking, Marjorie Lewis; tennis, Louise Arney; baseball, Garnet Guild; archery, Rachelle Pemberton. 27 L ' Ami 1935 L ' Ami PACIFIC ' S 1935 L ' Ami is an outgrowth of freshman inspiration and is the first year book ever published in the Quaker school. L ' Ami was the name selected by the student body from a group of titles suggested by the students in a naming contest conducted by the staff. The word is French and means the friend . The annual hopes to preserve in photographs and print the memories of college friendships, familiar buildings, useful organizations, and worthwhile activities. Its sponsors hope and believe that it may become a permanent and desirable part of Pa- cific college life. The student body elected two sophomores editor and manager of the first year book. The editor of this initial issue is Delmer Putnam ; the manager, Allen Hadley. The staff was picked by the two men. Miss Emma Kendall, head of the English department, and Mr. Glenn Wood- ward of the chemistry department, acted as faculty advisers. 28 L ' Ami 1935 Cresceot IN 1891 the Crescent made its initial appearance at Pacific college, but not as a bi-weekly newspaper. Originally the Crescent was published as a monthly literary magazine, and it was not until the year 1914 when, under the editorship of Emmett Gulley, the Quaker journalistic sheet underwent the great change. The primary purpose of the Crescent was four-fold. Any newspaper ' s first duty is to provide accurate, up-to-date news, but this paper attempted also to pro- mote a better cooperation between faculty and students, to provide a graphic picture of college life, and to uphold the high standards set by the school. Elective offices of the Crescent during the year 1934- ' 35 were occupied by the following people: editor, Virgil Hiatt ; associate editor, Marjorie Seely ; busi- ness manager, Ray Hansberry ; circulation manager, Angus Henrickson. Other members of the staff were appointed by the editor. 29 L ' Ami 1935 International Relations Club PACIFIC College International Relations club, organized in 1931 in affiliation with the Carnegie Foundation for International Peace, meets twice monthly, when reports on world events of current interest are presented and discussed by mem- bers. Membership includes all who attend meetings, and organization is kept at a minimum. Officers for the current year were Howard Richards, president; Mar- jorie Seely, vice-president, and Professor C. L. Conover, adviser. As guest of the club on April 4, 1934, Sir Herbert Ames, formerly treasurer of the League of Nations Secretariat, touring the international relations clubs of the United States for the Carnegie Foundation, discussed the Middle-European situa- tion. Mr. Ray Newton, secretary of the Peace Section of the American Friends Ser- vice Committee, met with the club November 1, 1934, to discuss the peace problem. On April 1, 1935, the club met with Dr. Robert C. Dexter of Boston, secretary of the American Unitarian association and authority on world affairs, who discussed the German situation. 30 Gold P Club HE Gold P club is a men ' s group that was originally organized for the pro- motion of respectable athletics and high scholarship at Pacific college. Mem- bership is open to men who have made a letter in any sport at Pacific, and who meet the approval of club members. The lettermen ' s club, formulated in 1912, is one of the oldest organizations on the campus and a staunch guardian of Pacific traditions. Membership does not cease with graduation, and many men prominent in busi- ness, professional, and educational fields of endeavor are members of the club. One of the group ' s outstanding accomplishments is the annual Gold P banquet, which has developed into what is probably the major social function of the college year. The club initiated twelve new members into the group this year. The neo- phytes topped off the four weeks of initiation with a hilarious program and a two- day trip to the seacoast. Officers for the past year were Ronald Sherk, president, and Ned Green, flunkey. 31 1935 May Day IN ACCORDANCE with a tradition of thirty years ' standing, Pacific college will present its thirteenth biennial May festival in 1936. The twelfth May day celebration was held on the college campus May 4, 1934, under the benign reign of Queen Bernice I, with pageantry, sports and entertainment. The queen and cardinal are elected by the entire student body, although until 1934 the queen was selected by men students and the cardinal by the women. Former May queens at Pacific were: Bernice Coppock, 1934; Dorothea Nordyke, 1932; Genevieve Badley Cole, 1930; May Pearson Nordyke, 1928; Helen Holding Schultz, 1926; Eva Miles, 1924; Anna Mills Moore, 1922; Frances Elliott, 1920; Norma Harvey, 1918; Eva Campbell Knight, 1915; Mary Jones, 1913; Mabel Gar- diner Hoskins, 1905. Gold Q Club A LL GIRLS. who had earned letters in any sport, organized in May under the 2 l supervision of Miss Annice Carter, to form the Gold Q club. Officers for the new society had not been elected when this annual went to press. The purposes of the organization, as stated in the constitution, are to create good sportsmanship among the college students, to further interest in athletics and to en- courage all collegiate activities which advance school spirit. The new organization bases sportsmanship upon the following traits: honesty, cheerfulness, enthusiasm, courtesy, graciousness in victory, and interest displayed in the sport. 32 MUSIC AMD DRAMA : Edited by- Estlier Miller ▲ AAA I Aiiii 1935 Carter Hull Miss Anniee Carter URING the past three years the dramatics and public speaking department of Pacific college has been very efficiently directed by Miss Annice Carter of Russiaville, Indiana. Miss Carter received her training at Ball State college. She spent three years in Palestine before coming to Pacific. Miss Carter has coached twelve three-act plays while at Pacific and numerous lesser plays and dramatic presentations. Miss Carter will not return to Pacific next fall, but she leaves a great number of friends whose best wishes will follow her. Prof • Alexander Hull INCE 1908, Professor Alexander Hull has been actively connected with the music department of Pacific college. During the past few years he has been in complete charge, giving private lessons in voice, violincello, and piano as well as conducting classes in music composition and theory. Prof. Hull is a graduate of the music department at the University of Pennsyl- vania, where he studied under various famous teachers. He is a nationally recog- nized composer and has attained fame as a writer of numerous short stories and two very successful books. He has been acknowledged in Who ' s Who in America ' 7 , both as a musician and writer. 33 Student Body Play A O ILD Ginger , a three-act farce by Myrtle G. Elsey, was the first dram- p p atic presentation of the year. This play was given December 14 to one of the largest crowd that ever attended a production at Pacific. The play centered around the life of Virginia Tallman, who lived alone with her miserly father in Squattertown, and of her efforts to improve her conditions. The talented cast included : Elwood Egleston as Jake Tallman, the miserly father ; Violet Braithwaite, his daughter, nicknamed Wild Ginger ; John Dimond, the hero, Jeffrey Freeman; Clayton Hicks taking the part of Sanford Lakey, an extravagant business man ; Bruce Rogers, Mr. Lakey ' s over-indulged son, Marwood ; Louise Frank, Marwood ' s over-indulged sister, Bonita; Ronald Sherk taking the part of Wuzy Walker, a would-be chiropractor; Dorothy Choate, Wuzy ' s mother; Harvey Campbell, a grocer; Margaret Coulson, Miss Rachel Lee, Ginger ' s best friend, and Elizabeth Aebischer, Miss Stanley, the health nurse. 34 L ' Ami 1935 HE Freshman class made its stage debut with the presentation of the three-act comedy-drama, The McMurray Chin , by Edna Higgins Strachan, on March 8 and 9. The theme centered about the struggle of the young wife, Ellen McMurray Lansdale (Dorothy Martin) against complete domination by the relatives of her husband, Phillip Lansdale (Louis Coffin). The severe aunt, Deborah Lansdale (Marguerite Heacock), made life miserable for all concerned by attempting to govern the househould. She objected to friendships with the iceman and his fiancee (Chaun- cey Gettmann and Marjorie Miller), and with the aid of Miss Griswold, the nurse (Louise Arney), she took complete charge of Ellen ' s family. Other difficult character interpretations were: Nettie Quick, the town gossip (Isabel Frost) ; Dr. Toppingsill, an extremely fastidious young practitioner (Bruce Rogers) ; Libby, the Lansdale servant (Florence Kenney) ; Dr. Scott, the old family physician (Milton Sanderman) ; and aunt Abbie Green, a colored nurse (Dorothy Choate). 35 Orchestra HE college students took the initiative in forming a student body orchestra this year. There had been no such organization in the colloge for a long period of time. Assembled, managed, and directed by the students themselves, the project has proved to be a nucleus from which a large orchestra might be developed in the future. The group has played principally classical music. It assisted in a number of chapel programs and gave a very commendable performance a t the student re- ception in February. The personnel of the orchestra is as follows : Violins, Charles Henrickson and Eugene Coffin ; saxophones, J. Wilson Bilyeu and Terrence Gulley ; clarinets, Angus Henrickson and Eldon Bush ; baritone, Arney Houser ; trumpets, Wayne Tate, Wenona Sanderman and Bruce Rogers ; piano, Margaret Coulson. Ray Hansberry conducted the orchestra, with Angus Henrickson serving as manager. 36 I Aiiii 1935 Chorus ONE of the most progressive organizations in Pacific college is the college chorus. Directed by Professor Alexander Hull, the chorus has helped in de- veloping music appreciation among the students. In March the chorus presented a concert, which offered a very cultural and enjoyable evening of entertainment to those who were present. Several members of the group sang in the Portland Junior Symphony chorus. Perhaps the members themselves derived the most benefit from the work. Meet- ing once a week and studying under Professor Hull profoundly influenced the at- titude of the singers. A large number of the students in Pacific helped to make this year ' s chorus one of the largest in the history of the college. There were twenty women and nineteen men singing in the group. The chorus very willingly assisted in various chapel hours, singing many semi- classical numbers. 87 L ' Ami 1935 Opera ftft nir ' RIAL BY JURY , an opera written by Gilbert and Sullivan,was presented as a satire in court proceedings by the chorus in May. Over forty student chorus members and a few extra singers took part in the opera. The main parts were: judge, Eugene Coffin; plaintiff, Helen Lou Povenmire ; counsel for the plaintiff, Allen Hadley; usher, Robert Nordyke ; defendant, Ray Hansberry; and jury foreman, Ronald Sherk. Spanish Play Hfp ' HE Spanish department, directed by Professor Emmett Gulley, presented El [_ Si De Las Ninas , a three-act drama by Moretin, on April 22. The play was translated from Spanish by the students. Don Diego, an old Spanish gentleman (Harvey Campbell), wished to marry the young Dona Francisca (Doris Darnielle). Don Carlos (Dick Wilcox), was the suc- cessful suitor of the beautiful girl. Francisca ' s talkative mother, Dona Irene, was portrayed by Eileen Kenworthy. Hazel Williams, Elwood Grimes, and Arney Houser took the role of servants. 3 8 ATHLETIC Edited by — Howard Karbel and Doris Damielle 1 Aiui 1935 Chapman Carter Gulley Coaches THE increased improvement shown by vari ous Pacific college athletic teams during the 1934- ' 35 year can be traced to the work done by three people who shaped the destinies of Quaker teams throughout that time. Men ' s athletic combina- tions were coached by ' Pacific ' s brilliant young mentor, Hal Chapman. Women ' s athletics were guided by Miss Annice Carter, while Professor Emmett Gulley gradu- ated from the coaching ranks in 1934 to become director of physical education. Hal Chapman received his diploma from Oregon Normal school at Monmouth in 1930, although he spent a portion of one year at Pacific university in 1928. Chap- man earned one football award at the Badger institution before transferring to O. N. S., where he gained eight letters in four sports during his two years residence. He coached at Independence junior high for one year after graduation and then moved to Wapinitia. After another season in the Eastern Oregon high school, Chapman shifted to Mosier high where he remained until 1934 when he succeeded Emmett Gul- ley as head coach at Pacific. The director of physical education for women, Miss Annice Carter, took up her duties at Pacific college in 1932, after having taught for more than three years in Palestine. Since Miss Carter has become affiliated with Pacific, women ' s athletics have taken a prominent place on the school ' s athletic calendar. Professor Emmett Gulley finished a four-year course at Pacific in 1917 and eleven years later he returned to his alma mater to take over the coaching reins. Gul- ley tutored Quaker athletes for six years, and then stepped up into the position he now holds. Professor Gulley was one of the greatest, if not the greatest athlete ever turned out at Pacific college. Soon after graduation, he refused a major league baseball contract in order to take up missionary work in Mexico. 39 L ' Ami 1935 Football eOACH Hal Chapman ' s first Pacific college football team played six games during the 1934 season and closed the book with a record of two wins, three losses, and a tie. Reed college was the only club the Quakers were able to defeat, although Chap- man ' s crew fought a scoreless deadlock ' with Pacific university ' s Baby Badgers in the mud at Forest Grove. The Badgers trimmed Pacific in a return mix 16 to 14. The Quakers also dropped decisions to Chemawa and the Linfield Rooks. The spearhead of the Pacific offensive all season was Captain-elect Louis Sandoz, but it took the flaming spirit of Captain Eugene Coffin to keep the attack from fal- tering when the road proved rough. Coffin concluded four years of warfare on the gridiron this season. Coffin and Charles Henrickson are the only lettermen who graduate in 1935. Linemen who received awards included Ned Green, John Dimond, Dick Wilcox, Louis Coffin, ends; Ben Luethe, Ronnie Sherk, Lawrence McCracken, tackles; Al Bates, Earl Kivett, Lloyd Schaad, guards ; Charles Henrickson, center. The backs were Eugene Coffin, Louis Sandoz, Delmer Putnam, Dorcy Riggs, Chauncey Gett- mann, Elwood Grimes, and Glen Everest. 40 Basketball EMORIES of long ago were brought back to Pacific college this year when a consistently good Quaker basketball team finished the 1935 season with the Wilamette Valley conference title firmly in its grasp. Pacific dropped only one conference clash during the campaign. Twin victories over Albany college marked the high point in a very successful season. After losing four out of the five opening games, Hal Chapman ' s quintet be- gan to click and ran up a string of ten consecutive wins. Coach Chapman presented letters to nine men, all of whom return for at least one more year of play. The starting line-up in a majority of the games was as follows: forwards, Delmer Putnam and John Haworth ; center, Walt Johnson ; guards, Allen Hadley and Howard Karbel, a pair of superlative defense aces. Awards were also given to Louis Sandoz, Dick Wilcox, Louis Coffin and Ray Miller. An early season injury kept Sandoz out of action most of the time. The squad elected Allen Hadley and Delmer Putnam, two-year veterans, as co- captains for the 1935-36 season. 41 1935 Baseball dT IXTEEN men answered Coach Hal Chapman ' s first call for baseball practice Qn in April but only four players in that group were lettermen. However, Coach Chapman issued suits to a likely looking crop of newcomers, including ten freshmen, six of whom quickly earned first team positions. Promising Al Hansberry was placed behind the bat, with Howard Karbel and Delmer Putnam doing the pitching. The infield was composed of Walt Johnson on first, Johnny Dimond on second, Glen Everest at the shortstop post and Putnam at third. Paul Astleford alternated between the keystone bag and the hot corner. Chap- man ' s big three in the outfield were Ned Green, Orla Kendall and Dick Wilcox, al- though Ben Luethe, Arney Houser, John Gearin, Lloyd Schaad, Wayne Tate and Elmer Richards saw a lot of action. Pacific defeated Oregon Tech in its opening clash, 12 to 2, but Monmouth Nor- mal gave the Quakers a 1 1 to 1 trimming. Pacific ' s arch rival, Reed college, was set back, 4 to 3, in the final game before this book went to press. 42 L ' Ami 1935 Track tOUIS SANDOZ and Ray Miller were stand-out performers on a Pacific col- lege track team which was too small in numbers to seriously threaten the cinder path supremacy of aggregations representing major Oregon colleges. Both men proved their mettle under pressure. Sandoz chalked up points regu- larly throughout his freshman season, and in the first triangular meet of the 1935 campaign between Reed club, Pacfic and Reed college he tallied 16 points. The Clubbers won the meet with 65y 2 points, followed by Pacific with 47. Miler was a consistent point maker in the middle distance runs and was a member of the relay team which placed second in the Hill Military academy meet, first in the afore-men- tioned Reed meet and second in a five-school gathering at Forest Grove. Other individuals who earned points during the season were speedy Bill Bilyeu, Harvey Campbell, Louis Coffin, Gene Coffin, Orla Kendall, Ned Green, Lloyd Schaad, Howard Adams, Chauncey Gettman, Dick Wilcox and Elwood Grimes. Eugene Coffin is the only man who will be lost by graduation. 43 Volleyball HE girls ' volleyball team that represented Pacific college during the 1934- ' 35 season was coached by Miss Annice Carter and hung up an enviable record for Quaker lassies to shoot at in years to come. Miss Carter ' s proteges played five games during the past volleyball season, winning four while losing one. Pacific absorbed its only setback in the opening fray against Reed. The Port- landers won the initial contest 33 to 29, but the Quakerettes evened matters a week later by taking a decisive 35 to 19 win over their arch rivals. A gallant last-half rally by Oregon City fell just one point short of its objective and the locals pulled up with a narrow 36 to 35 win in their third appearance. Pacific outclassed Oregon City when the teams met again, 40 to 17. The Quakers wound up the season impressively by defeating Pacific university 29 to 28. Volleyball letters were given to Elizabeth Aebischer, Garnet Guild and Eva Hart, seniors ; Isabella Wilson, Pearl Kivett, Violet Braithwaite and Marguerite Nor- dyke, juniors; and Jean Gardner, sophomore. Reserves included Marjorie Seeley, Thelma Jones and Janet Jack. 44 L ' Ami 1935 Tennis OLSTERED by the addition of three former Newberg high school stars to combine with the two lettermen already in school, the 1935 men ' s tennis team was expected to be noticeably stronger than any Pacific racquet combination of recent years. When this story was written, the Quakers had performed against only one opponent. They defeated Oregon Tech in five straight matches. In April, Pacific accepted an invitation to join the newly organized Oregon Inter- collegiate tennis league. The division winners in this league were to be determined by a state tournament late in the season, with the victors representing Oregon at the national intercollegiate tourney in the East. Pacific ' s top ranking players were the two veterans, Jim Haworth and Eugene Coffin. Wayne Tate, Lewis Hoskins and Bill Bilyeu comprised the remainder of the well-balanced team. Competition for places on the women ' s team proved very close. Outstanding pros- pects include Thelma Jones, Mary Brooks, Rachelle Pemberton, Doia Bales and Corilda Stewart. 45 L ' Ami 1935 Resume of Sports FOOTBALL RESULTS Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific 0 19 0 7 24 14 Chemawa Reed Pacific Rooks Linfield Reed Pacific Rooks 6 0 20 6 16 Total 64 Total 56 BASKETBALL STANDINGS Willamette Valley Conference - W Pacific 5 Oregon Tech __ 4 Albany Branch 3 Concordia 0 L 1 2 3 6 Pet. .833 .667 .500 .000 BASKETBALL RESULTS Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific , Pacific 16 17 28 14 13 21 19 38 22 19 18 18 22 21 34 13 Linfield Reed Alumni Dallas Eagles Monmouth Albany Alumni Oregon Tech Concordia Reed Albany Albany Branch Oregon Tech Concordia Lafayette Townies Albany Branch 42 41 23 33 55 19 8 15 21 13 14 17 9 17 44 25 Total 333 Total 39 6 Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific Pacific GIRLS ' VOLLEYBALL RESULTS Oregon City 36 40 29 35 29 City Oregon Reed Reed Pacific University 3 5 17 33 19 28 Total 169 Total 132 46 - 4 4 i 4 4 FEATURE Edited by — Mary Cwllver 4 and 4 Marguerite i ord.vko 4 ► 4 ► 4 4 . !► ▲ 4 AA ► AAA L-Anii 1935 Editorial Appreciation HIT HIS first Pacific college annual, the nineteen hundred thirty-five L ' Ami , III goes forth as a mirror of the campus life of a college that was founded forty- foui years ago. As the colloge is, so it has been our aim to make this volume of its years. The staff has not attempted to polish or otherwise make bright what is not naturally so, but if in this initial yearbook the traditions and life of Pacific college are reflected, we are satisfied. Credit for such a book as this should not be given to those who merely direct the work, but to those whose duties involve the working out of details. Permit the editor, therefore, to acknowledge the services of those upon whom the main burden of the work devolved. Enduring excellence, whether it be in a book, a picture, an engraving or a printed piece, abundantly reflects the craftsman ' s pride. An examination of the ' ' L ' Ami shows the results of such pride in the work done by Riley Studio, the Newberg Scribe and the Beaver Engraving company. The editor wishes also to thank those whose unceasing efforts made the L ' Ami a reality. He especially appreciates the work done by the business manager, Allen Hadley, and his assistant, Lewis Hoskins ; the associate editors, Wilbur Newby and Esther Miller; and the advisers, Miss Emma Kendall and Professor Glenn Wood- ward.

I Pulled The Cork 1HAD twelve bottles of whiskey in my cellar and the Missus made me empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink. So after several hours of vain argument and domestic strife, I proceeded to do as she desired. I withdrew the cork from the first bottle and poured the contents down the sink, with the exception of one glass which I drank. I then drew the cork from the second bottle and did the same likewise, with the exception of one glass which I drank. I extracted the cork from the third sink and poured the bottle down the glass when I drank some. I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next and drank one sink of it, and then threw the rest down the drink. I then pulled the sink out of the next cork and poured my bottle down my drink. I pulled the next bottle out of my throat and poured the cork down the drink, all but the sink which I drank. I pulled the next cork from my neck and poured the sink down the bottle and drank the cork. When I had them all emptied I steadied the house with one hand and counted the bottles, which were twenty-four. As the house came around, I also counted again and had seventy-four. Finally, I had the houses and bottles counted, so I proceeded to wash the bottles, but I couldn ' t get the brush in the bottles so I turned them in- side and wiped them all and went upstairs to tell my wife what I did. And I ' ve got the wifest little nice in the world. Alumni and Boosters 1— — Edwin Haines Burgess, New York, N. Y. 2 — Doris Gettmann, Perrydale, Oregon. 3— Elizabeth Bell Hadley, Washington, D. C.

The Jl|_ verses and the chorus of the College Song were written by Dr. J. Ray Pember- ton of the class of ' 06 and Cecil Hoskins of ' 07. These verses were selected in a con- test as the best from a number submitted by members of the student body. The mu- sic was written by Professor Kantner, former professor of music at Pacific. Close beside Chehalem ' s Mountain Is the college we adore ; Like an ever-flowing fountain She shall stand for evermore. Where she stands, we ' ll ne ' er forget it, Near the old Willamette ' s banks, And in years we ' ll ne ' er regret it That we entered in her ranks. CHORUS ' Tis the good old Quaker college, And we ' ll shout her worthy name, Where we gained our store of knowledge In her halls of honor ' s fame, And we ' ll always in this manner To our mother school be true, ' Neath Pacific College banner Of Old Gold and Navy Blue. Comrades, come and raise your voices, Let us praise Pacific dear While with her your heart rejoices, Spread her glory far and near. Then a rousing cheer we give her, ' Tis the least that we can do ; Old P. C. we ' ll love forever Our Old Gold and Navy Blue. When the four loved years of college Shall have long since passed away, When with worldy care and knowledge Many a head is turning gray, Still we ' ll shout her praise the louder And our hearts give echo true, As we cheer our Alma Mater, Of Old Gold and Navy Blue. 52 I Ami 1935 Words and Music Theme songs of some Pacific colJege students and faculty members.

In its higher influence it is the chief servant of all that is divine in man. If we would, we may through printing types confer with all the choice spirits of preceding ages and learn all the knowledge acquired by men from the dawn of civilization . . . The invention of printing inimi- tably increased the educative power of books. Pedagogues of every degree are taught by books. Their real task is to teach their pupils how to assimilate the facts and ideas and inspiration treasured in books. Oratory by Chapman HT EVERYBODY here 4 ? Now listen, you guys. I know you have heard all 111 this before, but I ' m really worried about this ball game. It would be pretty nice if we could win by more than one point for a change, but I ' m scared you won ' t even win this one by that comfortable a margin. Personally, I don ' t think you can win this game, but if you scrap it up, the score might be close. What do you think about it ? Can you fight it up 9 Can you T (Feeble chorus of ' Uh huh ' ). Putnam, don ' t forget that you ' re playing basketball ! Stay off your heels and keep your eyes out of the audience. (Pause). That goes for you, too, Hadley, and the same schedule won ' t hurt you, Sandoz. Say Johnson, was that your sister that came in with you 4 ? (Pause — than a feeble ' Nope ' .) Then the same for you. Hadley, if Karbel goes to sleep out there wake him up. He dozed off in the last game and started home for bed. And, Ha- worth, please don ' t get so excited. You ' re not a windmill. Now, ah, as I said ; I don ' t expect you to win tonight. In fact, you will be lucky to come in second. But this is our first home game and I will be the happiest man in town if you take it. How is this for a proposition 4 ? If you win, there ' s a chicken feed in it for you. Otherwise — . Now come on gang, let ' s snap it up. Let ' s make it two in a row. Can you do it 4 ? (Lustily, ' Sure coach! ' ). Hadley, you ' re captain tonight. Now let ' s go ! (Slaps each man on the back as he trots out). The Newberg Scribe 4 4 Printers of the 1935 L ' Ami 54 Manager ' s Appreciation 6TIT HE advertisers in the pre- 111 ceding pages have thus ex- pressed their appreciation of the patronage of Pacific people. Be- lieving that these firms deserve the greatest measure of consid- eration from the student body because of their cooperation in making this book possible , the U Ami suggests that they be rewarded by increased attention and patronage from the stu- dents.
