A teacher who smiles ... a gentleman who tips his hat and remembers to be friendly to all ... a scholar who has been listed in Oregon ' s book of honor, Who ' s Who . . . the Sociology prof who recognizes that Sociology isn ' t the only thing the student must spend time in ... a farmer who owns property out by Springbrook ... a real neighbor and friend in the Newberg community . . . to you Perry Macy, head of the Pacific College Sociology department, we dedicate this 1948 L ' Ami. This dedication comes with sincere best wishes from a grateful student body to an efficient, too-seldom recognized faculty member whose efforts we have all come to appeciate.

mm Greetings: As this year has progressed it has become increasingly apparent that the word GROWTH is expressive as related to the current campus conditions and activities. The new Science Hall, Dining Hall and Kitchen and Fine Arts Building represent physical growth. The intellectual attainments and spiritual progress of faculty and student body are less objective but nevertheless evident in many connections — class room, chapel, prayer meetings and personal contacts. The WILL TO WIN is very essential for true progress in any line of endeavor. It is generally recognized as desirable on the part of the athlete. But it is equally useful in the drive behind a student ' s scheduled study hours. Many an athletic team has lost its game because of the indifferent or lazy atti- tude of some player. Scholastic attainments and honors have likewise been missed by many students with too little of the will to win. Spiritual progress cannot be made by those who are satisfied to drift or content to remain on the low levels of the common place. High achievements in any line are never accidental. They are the result of ambitious plan- ning and hard work, of prayer and perseverance. To the student body of 1947-1948 I extend congratulations on ycur youth and op- portunities. Your limitations are largely self-imposed as related to the measure of your will to win. Paul the great apostle wrote — I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Sincerely,

i mm A sobering shock came to Pacific College January 29, 1948. Bruce Armstrong had been killed in an auto accident near Condon, Oregon, on his way home to Idaho. Memory paints candid shots of Bruce. We see him as a dark-haired freshman bucking the rigors of this new life in college. We see him with the J.V. ' s on the basketball floor playing the game with sportsmanshp and ability. We see him and his roommate develop their close friendship. Bruce stayed at Pacific a short time, but he contributed something we can still feel. It is not ours to quesion why he was taken. Though we see through a glass darkly now, the time will come when we can, as Bruce now is doing, see Him face to face. So we pause ... in memory of Bruce Armstrong, (July 16, 1929-Janu- ary 29, 1948) — remembered member of P. C. student body.
