Dear Friends : In the United States, the most blessed and the hap- piest country on earth, more young men and women, both numerically and proportionately, are attending college than in any other land. And while so large a share of the world is in the throes of war, with all its terrors and horrors, we have peace, and can go on with the ordinary and extraordinary affairs of life, thus far without serious interruption. For all this we should be very grateful to God and to those who, under His blessing, have made America what it is. But it is impossible that we should not be deeply moved by the tragic condition of the world, and even tragic conditions in our own loved country. There never was greater need than there is today for men and women of good will, of altruism, of real wisdom, of unflinching courage, of constructive self-sacrifice. It is a joy to know that so large a proportion of those who will read these words are of this character, men and women who will serve and bless mankind. Students now in college, many of them living splendid lives of service while conscientiously preparing for larger lives of greater usefulness ; members of the college faculty, the college board, the Woman ' s Aux- iliary, and other organizations, who are earnestly and faithfully cooperating to make the work of these students successful ; men and women in many parts of this and other countries who have given liberally to the financial maintenance of the college ; graduates and former students who in many parts of the world are doing noble service for the advancement of humanity. With gratitude for the achievements of the past, with earnestness in the work of the present, and with hope and courage for the future, let us make every year of Pacific College ' s history better than any year it has ever before known. Sincerely your friend, Levi T. Pennington, President, Pacific College Chase L. Conover Vice President, A.B., M.A. A. Martin Swanson Harrison L. Martin Hodson A. S P. C« The Associated Student Body of Pacific College is the organization which carries on all the business of the campus. It plans and provides for the social life of the school such as Home-coming and May Day. The chief purpose of the A. S. B. is to promote unity of thought and purpose among the students and to see that everyone feels free to take part in school affairs and activities. At the head of this group are the student body officers. The executive council is composed of the four main offices which include president, vice presi- dent, secretary, and treasurer. There are other important offices which are held by members of the student body, such as Ruth Hodson ' s position as social chairman, but these officers are not on the executive council. Student officers for 1939-40 were: Ervin Atrops, president; Alfreda Martin, vice president; Irene Swanson, secretary; Ladean Martin, treasurer; Howard Harrison, chief treasurer. Seniors For the last four years the members of the class of ' 40 have been active in participating in all events of the school, including football, basketball, baseball, for- ensics, dramatic events, chorus, and other forms of extra-curricular activities. During the freshmen year the highly successful four-act comedy, Clarence, was presented. The class was initiated by the sophomores at a wiener roast on Chehalem Mountain. In the spring the sophomores were entertained in return with a picnic at Roamer ' s Rest. Jack Bennett served as president of his class. The fall of 1937 saw the sophomores give the Rooks a thorough initiation m a very muddy college canyon. Again this year the class was prominent in school activities and was guided by its president, Leroy Pierson. The big event of the junior year was the junior-senior banquet. The theme carried out was Treasure Island. Class members sold candy bar s and chewing gum to help raise money for the event. Robert Sieloff was at the helm and re- ceived the citizenship plaque for activities of the class. This fall, the seniors started off the year ' s events with a housewarming party at Alfreda Martin ' s. Bruin Jr. which had been held for two years by the class of ' 40 was won again, when he was presented to them as winners of the ticket selling contest held in conjunction with the student body play, The Master Builder. This year the seniors presented their class gift by putting lighting fixtures in rooms 13 and 17. Class rings and pins appeared in February. Howard Harri- son has been the president. L. Martin, Swanson Harrison, Keller, Kendall Sieloff, Hodson, Pierson Atrops, Barney, Davis Weeoner, Bennett, A. Martin Juniors Three years ago the class of 1941 entered Pacific College a bewildered group of freshmen, but after being invited to the Freshmen and New Students reception, and being thoroughly initiated by the Sophomores, the members felt more at home. Since then the class has sho wn remarkable advancement, although not in numbers. The first year, Wesley Smith was president. There were thirty-five members in the class and they were prominent in all the sports. The class held Bruin Jr. several times, gave an amateur hour in chapel, all of which were successful. The next year the class returned full of enthusiasm. Again they were well represented in athletics. The sophomores sponsored a very successful initiation for the freshmen under the chairmanship of Charles Smith. In the spring a class picnic was held. The members of the class again par- ticipated in nearly all of the Pacific College activities. Joe Kycek guided his class through the year. Now at last, the juniors are superior upper classmen with able officers lead- ing them. George Thomas has been president this year. As in the past years, they were well represented in the activities of the college. Plans for the junior-senior banquet have been made. The class is looking forward to the senior year. They plan to make every effort to make it their most successful year. Sophomores In the fall of 1938 a class of thirty-six freshmen was initiated into Pacific College. Under the leadership of their president, Virgil Nor dyke, they had a very active year. Included in their activities was the presentation of the class play, Second Fiddle, by Guernsey LePelly, held late in March. Wesley Jeffrey was elected president of the class this year. After his resig- nation Bill Rarick, the vice-president, took over the president ' s duties. Anita Schlict- ing is the secretary-treasurer. The sophomore class, which now totals fifteen members, climaxed a week of freshman initiation with a long blind-fold walk into the country, where they had a wiener roast. Plans have definitely been made for a class party, and also for the purchase of a class gift to the college. ftariek, Pemberton, Riehle, Houser Nixon, W. Thomas, M. Barney, Tate McCurley, Williams, Cunningham, Schlicting Cuff el, V. Thornsberry, M. Thornsberry, Haldy Freshmen The opening of the fall term, 1939, found forty-seven eager students, not quite sure of their way around, but looking for it anyway. Of course there was the traditional nervousness before the initiation by the sophomores, but we did not have to wait long. After answering to roll call the appointed night, we were roughly stood in line and blindfolded. The upperclassmen administered a very fragrant smelling powder to our hair (which lasted for about two weeks), and we were ready for our journey. After walking miles and miles — so it seemed — over railroads, gravel roads, and mud puddles, and after taking our dose of alum, which made our mouths feel like dried prunes look, we finally arrived at our destination. Re- penting of their cruelness, the sophomores gave us a wiener and marshmallow roast. We walked home singing Oh Johnny, Roll Out the Barrel, and our newly learned Close Beside Chehalem Mountain. The freshmen soon found their places in the school life and even held many prominent offices of the school. L ' Ami editor and Crescent editor were held by freshmen and debate teams, Trefian, Y. W. C. A., football, volleyball, basketball, and baseball teams had a large percentage of freshmen. The freshman class became known as the pep class of the school as most of them belong to the Pep Club which has a freshman president. Our own class officers were: David Michener, president; James Kyle, vice- president; Mary Lou Hoskins, secretary; and Corinne Rickert, social chairman. As the big event of the year for all rookies, the class play, Dover Road, was presented March 21, with an enthusiastic backing from the entire class.

Smith, Daniels Manning, Macy, Bales, Needles, Stein, Mardock ORGANIZATIONS International Relations Club Davis, Gulley, Rogers, Robertson The International Relations Club of Pacific College is composed of those students that are interested in affairs concerning the nations of the world. The club is a national affair and was founded originally by the Carnegie foundation for the advancement of peace. The organization receives annually from the Carnegie foundation over a dozen books on current international and national affairs. The club also receives a fortnightly review of the news in bul- letin form. The Newberg chapter of the organization has sponsored several speakers during the year, among them the Japanese Consul from Portland, Miss Esthel Gulley, returned missionary from China, and several others. The club held two exchange programs with the students of Linfield, at one of which they met Doctor T. Z. Koo of China. The club also sent several delegates to the Northwest Regional Conference which was held at the University of Oregon at Eugene. Adviser of the club for the year was Mr. Sanders. Michener, Cowley, Swanson, Follette, Pierson Gold Q The Gold O Club is composed of the letterwomen of Pacific College. The purpose of the organization is to create good sportsmanship, to further interest in athletics, and to encourage college activities which advance school spirit. The insignia of the club is a small, winged gold q pin, and the badge is a blue beret with the gold emblem on it. To be eligible to join the Gold Q Club, a girl has to earn a letter, be a good sport, satisfactorily carry through the initiation, and meet the approval of the mem- bers. The formal initiation is held every fall, and as the membership does not end with graduation, the club increases in its number of members each year. According to the constitution, being a good sport includes being honest, courteous, cheerful, enthusiastic, gracious in victory, and having an interest in the sport. The club each year gives a formal Valentine Day dinner to which each mem- ber invites an escort. Officers for the past year were: Janet Phipps, president; Alfreda Martin, vice-president; Mary Thomas, secretary; Fern Nixon, treasurer; Mary Thomas, booster ; and Mary Esther Pemberton, social chairman. - Phipps Martin Thornsberry Representatives: Pemberton, Martin, Phipps, Mrs. Sanders Gold P Treasurer - - - Stanley Keller Secretary - Joe Kycek President - - - Ladean Martin The Gold P Club is an organization composed of lettermen of Pacific College, whose purpose is to foster athletics and to uphold athletic traditions on the campus. Each person who earns one letter in any major sport and completes successfully the initiation requirements, is eligible for membership in the club. Initiation is held for a week each spring and culminates in a trip to the coast. Each year the club sponsors a grade school basketball tournament. This was its fifth year, with Chemawa as tournament champions. Awards were given by Gold P alumni and local merchants. The highlight of the social season was the annual Gold P banquet which is held each June before classes are adjourned. Since membership in the club is continuous, this banquet brings back many alumni who talk over old times. Atrops, Heald, Chase, G. Thomas, K. Booth, Davis, E. Smith; Rarick ; Tate; A.

The Young Men ' s Christian Association of Pacific College is an indigenous campu s movement of students and faculty who carry on the threefold program of building up the spiritual, mental, and physical life of all its members. The association welcomes and strives to include in its membership all men in the institution, whether students or members of the faculty, who declare them- selves to be in sympathy with its purpose and make it their own personal program of allegiance and service. The meetings of the association are held regularly on Wednesday of each week. Hymn singing, devo- tionals, discussion of vital topics, and talks by outside speakers make up the program. The main activities of the Y. M. C. A. this year were: Holding meetings conducted by deputation teams, the distribution of Thanksgiving baskets, and the annual retreat of the cabinet members of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. to the Twin Rocks conference grounds. The officers for this year were: George Thomas, president; Wesley Jeffries, vice president; Bill Thom- as, treasurer; Willis Barney, secretary and chairman of the deputation team; and Mr. Lawrence Skene, faculty adviser. Galen Miller, Clyde Hadlock, Ed Daniels and Harold Hewitt are serving on the new term cabinet. Barney, Keller Skene, Cunningham W. Thomas, G. Miller Thornsberry, Hadlock Daniels, Hewitt y. w. c a. Social, physical, mental, and spiritual develop- ment of character is the purpose of the Young Women ' s Christian Association. Meetings were held every Wednesday in the chapel, which all women of the student body were eligible to attend as there was one hundred per cent membership in the college. The organization was quite active, socially, this year, sponsoring many student body activities. The annual May breakfast, Easter baskets for the poor children, and the Mother ' s tea were activities of the spring term. In the fall and winter, the functions included baskets for poor children, the candle sale and caroling, the Christmas party for the needy children of New berg, two pot luck lunches honoring the birthdays of the members, and the formal reception, at the beginning of each semester, for new students. Irene Swanson was president of the organiza- tion this year. Other officers were : Alfreda Mar- tin, vice president and chairman of religious meet- ings committee ; Josephine Haldy, secretary ; Hazel Mary Houser, treasurer and chairman of finance committee ; and Miss Mary Sutton, adviser. Other special committee chairmen were: Alice Gulley, social; Ruth Hodson, social service; Esther May Weesner, deputation; Marguerite Barney, music; Mary Esther Pemberton, publicity; and Janet Phipps, Christian world education. A. Martin, Hodson Haldy, Weesner Houser, Barney Miss Sutton, Pemberton Phipps, Gulley Irene Swanson Crescent Cowley Barney W. Thomas G. Thomas The Crescent is the official publication of the associated students of Pacific College, the editor and manager being elected by the student body. The publication began the year as a full tabloid paper published twice a month, but due to financial difficulties the paper was reduced to four columns in the middle of the year. . Lulu Pioberts was chosen editor last year, but because of illness she was forced to resign. Doug- las Cowley was chosen editor early in the fall. The year 1939-40 marked the paper ' s fiftieth anniversary. Until 1914 the paper was published in magazine form. Then it was changed to its present size. The staff for the year was composed of : Doug- las Cowley, editor; George Thomas, assistant ed- itor; Willis Barney, business manager; William Thomas, advertising manager ; Mary Esther Pem- berton, circulation manager; Irene Swanson, ex- changes. 1 1 L ' A mi The staff of the 1940 L ' Ami has endeavored to present to the student body of Pacific College a yearbook which will be as nearly a perfect repre- sentation of every phase of college life as possible. The true purpose of the annual will be accomp- lished only in later years when you, the students of Pacific, will, in glancing through its pages, remember and relive all the experiences which made the years spent at college the happiest time of your life. To make this year ' s annual as informal and life-like as possible, the editor, Helen Robertson, and the staff chose the candid camera theme, around which to build the L ' Ami college life as it is, and have portrayed it by candid shots of all student and faculty activities. This is a slight- ly different idea at Pacific, but one which they hope will be received with approval. The yearbook was begun in 1935 when the freshman class left a gift of twenty-five dollars to promote the annual. Harold Hewitt, business manager; Charles Smith, assistant editor; Melvin Ashwill, art editor; and Douglas Cowley, photog- rapher, constitute the present staff. The L ' Ami is paid for by advertising and a student fee of two dollars a year. Miss Emma Kendall is the faculty adviser for the college publications. Speaking of Pep — ! How about the time P. C. students went roaring down First Street shouting yells from the fire truck? Yes, there was quite an astonishing amount of enthusiasm around Pacific, especially during foot- ball season, and most of the students are aware that the contributing element was that brand new organization — the men ' s and women ' s Pep Club. Pacific College had long had a need for an organized pep club that included both men and women, so in the fall of 1939, about thirty-five enthusiastic students decided to do something about it. They elected their officers: Galen Miller, president; Harold Hewitt, secretary-treasurer; and began their activities early in the fall. Several serpentines and pep rallies were held and busses were hired for transportation to out-of-town games. Members of the club were distinguishable not only by their vim and vigor but also by the attractive sweaters with a Pacific College symbol, which ap- peared on the days of games. The pep and spirit they have added to college life during the year has been appreciated by stu- dents and faculty. They are trying to fulfill their purpose — more pep [ Mardock, Kramien, A.

The glee club presented two chapel programs which consisted of The Birth of Christ by Willy Richter, and The Swan. A special treat this year was the trip to Corvallis where the glee club broadcasted a Christmas program. In the spring they presented Mendelssohn ' s Hear My Prayer. Mrs. Murdock rorensics 1 The forensics program at Pacific wa s ™ quite diversified. Mrs. Sanders held position of speech coach and throughout the year she was assisted by Mr. Sand- ers who inaugurated the P. C. Speakers ' Bureau. The debate team consisted of: nega- tive, Vera Larson and Helen Robertson ; affirmative, Galen Miller and David Michener. They met other college teams December 9 in a practice tourna- ment at Linfield College. Jeanne Fol- lette won third place and Dean Tate fourth in the Oregon State Extempor- aneous Contest. To complete the sea- son, Pacific sponsored the annual Old Line Oratorical Contest in which Helen Robertson and Stanley Keller represent- ed the college. G. Bales, Michener, Follette Larson, Robertson The Master Build er The Master Builder by Henrik Ibsen was performed December 19 by actors chosen from the student body. The famous play is the story of a great architect who has climbed to the top of his Profession only to be threatened by an oncoming generation which he K ea «-,7 w f P ° rtrayed by H ° Ward Harrison ' is finall y influenced by Hilda Wangel, a part taken by Helen Robertson, to climb to the top of his ITS V™ ' aS sh ; ams he has done before.

A. Milne, was presented March 21 to a good-sized audience. The leads were played by David Michener and Corinne Rickert. Mr. Lati- mer, played by David, is a pessimistic millionaire who, as his contribution to life, stops runaway couples that come by his home on the Dover Road eloping to France. He keeps them there a week, showing them the pitfalls of marriage. He happens to kidnap two couples who are an unhappy man and wife, each running away with another person. From this dire situation, the host finally straightens matters out and the play closes as it began, with two lovers (detained by a carefully planned accident) knocking at his door. Trefian Weesner Robertson Trefian ' s twenty-fifth anniversary was celebrated in the spring by a tea for all the alumni members of Trefian through the years. Tea was served from the new silver tea service bought especially in honor of the occasion. The programs included studies of Chinese drama, life and paintings of Grant Wood, famous contemporary painter, famous awards, musical programs, and guest speakers who spoke on many interesting topics. Officers for the first semester were: Esther May Weesner, president; Mar- guerite Barney, vice president; Janet Phipps, secretary; Irene Swanson, treasurer; Alfreda Martin, social chairman; Elenita Mardock, marshall ; Miss Sutton, critic; Miss Kendall, adviser. Second semester officers were: Irene Swanson, president; Fern Nixon, vice president; Helen Robertson, secretary; Elenita Mardock, treasurer; Esther May Weesner, social chairman; Bonnie Jeanne Follette, marshall; Mrs. Sanders, critic; Mrs. Ramsay, adviser.

Although this was Mrs. Sanders ' first attempt at coaching, she took charge of women ' s sports and did an excellent job. Along with the regular sports, the students have organized tennis teams, a men ' s track group, a women ' s hiking group, ping pong and archery tournaments. The men ' s tennis team, composed of Dean Tate, George Bales, Ralph Sandburg, Melvin Ashwill, Douglas Cowley and William Stein, is managed by Mark Fantetti. The women ' s tennis group is composed of Mary Esther Pemberton, Ruth Cuffel, Janet Phipps and Helen Robertson, and is managed by star player Mary Lou Hoskins. W. A. A The Women ' s Athletic Association of Pacific College, composed of all the women enrolled in physical education, is for the purpose of promoting sports among the women of the college. The sports sponsored by the organization are volleyball, basketball, hiking, tennis, Softball, and this year archery was added to the list. The W. A. A. is financed by dues and a certain per cent of the student af- fairs fee. This money is spent for transportation to different schools, letters, sweaters and other equipment. Mary Esther Pemberton was president this year; Hazel .Mary Houser, vice president; and Janet Phipps, secretary-treasurer. The sports managers take charge of the different sports and keep time records of the players. This year ' s managers were Helen Robertson, hiking; Mary Thorns- berry, basketball and volleyball; Mary Lou Hoskins, tennis; Marjorie Wilson, Softball; and Bonnie Jeanne Follette, archery. Sieloff Fantetti The Men ' s Athletic Association of Pacific College, composed of all men in the student body, organizes, promotes, and sponsors athletic activities on the campus. The association sponsored football, basketball, baseball, track, and tennis this year. Administration and policy of the M. A. A. is guided by a council consist- ing of four officers and one representative from each class. Members of this year ' s council were: Robert Sieloff, president; Joe Kycek, vice-president; Ladean Martin, senior representative; George Thomas, junior representative; and Norwood Cunningham, sophomore representative. Warren Behrens, secretary, and Dave Fuehle, treasurer, did not return to school. The freshman class failed to choose a representative. The M. A. A. program this year was featured by the attempt to reconcile the divergent policies of replenishing depleted football equipment, and in reducing indebtedness. Considerable success was achieved in both directions. The council also inaugurated the practice of inviting the coach to council meetings. This de- velops a closer integration of the athletic program. Keller, K. Booth, Spirup, Maey, Ashwill, Hays, Thomas, A.

A large turnout, making it possible to field two full teams, was a distinct ieature in the team s development. a c- w 1 ? f0U i r Seni ° rS wiU be l0St throu S h graduation: Pierson, Atrops, Martin, and Meloff, end, center, and two guards, respectively. Pierson and Atrops are four-year lettermen, with Martin and Sieloff two-year lettermen. Coach Keller will be missing next season as he is returning to Chicago for further education However, to offset these losses there will be twelve returning lettermen, most of whom are freshmen. Pierson Mary Thornsberry The Quake rettes, under the direction of Mrs. Sanders, had a very successful volleyball season. They played four intercollegiate games, two with Reed and two with Pacific U. The girls rated top scores in all four games to ring the victory bell for old P. C. and retire undefeated for the season. In basketball, however, the girls did not get a chance to show their prowess. Because the other schools had spring vacations in conflict with our game schedule, the sport had to be abandoned in spite of the rigorous training period which the team had completed. They played only one game with Pacific University, which they lost. The girls who turned out for the basketball team were Pinky Cuffel, Mary Lou Hoskins, Elenita Mardock, Marguerite Barney, Katherine Williams, Wanda Needles and Marjorie Wilson. Mary Edith Thornsberry was manager for both teams, an office which automatically includes captainship. Basketball The Quaker casaba chasers had a rather disappointing season in regard to victories won, for they lost every tilt with opposing collegiate independent teams. In spite of their frequent losses, the snappy squad always left a good impression even when out-classed. The squad was handicapped by the fact that two of Keller ' s aces did not enter competition. However, over twenty-five men turned out for the team. Highlights of the season were victories scored by the rooks over the seniors, juniors, sophomores, and an all-star team selected from the three upper classes. Coach Keller and Harold Davis are the only graduating seniors. Beese, Arnold Booth, Kenny Booth, Bill Hayes, Charles Smith, and George Thomas will furnish the nucleus upon which to build next year ' s team. Beese, K.

They were handicapped at the beginning of the season by a rough infield on which to practice. Injuries, too, took their toll. First, Galen Miller was lost as a result of a sprained ankle. Then Clyde Hadlock was hit on the mouth by a thrown ball and received a fractured jaw. He returned to practice only to get hit on the end of a finger and again was lost to the team. Near the middle of the season, Chuck Smith was able to turn out, making the returning lettermen as follows: Harold Davis, Stanley Keller, Orla Kendall, Ervin Atrops, George Thomas, Hiel Heald and Charles Smith. The pitching duties were divided between Coach Keller and Buck Davis. Next year ' s squad will have more returning lettermen, but, as a result of graduations, will have to do without the services of such dependables as Coach Keller, Kendall, Atrops and Davis.
