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.

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.
