George Thomas y. M. C. 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

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.
