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 [
