DflOATI© THE LIMITED SPHERE OF THE INDIVID- UAL. BEING NORMALLY GREGARI- OUS, MAN MUST LEARN TO GET ALONG WITH HIS FELLOW MEN. AS HE USES COMPROMISE AND REASON IN HIS PERSONAL ASSOCIATIONS, HE BEGINS A WIDENING CIRCLE THAT EVENTUALLY WILL ENCOMPASS GROUPS AND NATIONS. IF, THROUGH INNER PEACE, WE THUS REACH THE WISDOM TO ACHIEVE CONCORD IN INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIPS, UNI- VERSAL PEACE AND UNDERSTAND- ING WILL BE POSSIBLE. ALTHOUGH HUMAN NATURE HAS ALWAYS SOUGHT PEACE, IT HAS NOT ALWAYS REALIZED THIS IDEAL. PEACE IS A PRODUCT OF EVOLUTION AND COMES SLOWLY, WITH EFFORT. IT REQUIRES GROWTH AND MATUR- ITY TO WIN AND HOLD, BUT MAN- KIND OFTEN IGNORES THESE QUALI- TIES, WITH RESULTING WARS. AS WE LIVE TODAY WITH THE SHELL OF PEACE, WE KNOW ITS FRAGILITY, BUT NOT ITS STRENGTH. THE ATTAINMENT OF PEACE SHOULD COME NATURALLY TO MAN, FOR IT IS A FORM OF REASON, MAN ' S DIS- TINGUISHING QUALITY. IT HAS OF- TEN BEEN SAID THAT WE HAVE MORE TO LOSE BY WAR THAN BY ANY GENERATION. BUT THE GREATEST LOSS AND THAT FELT IN EVERY WAR, IS THE BETRAYAL OF OUR HUMANITY THROUGH THE ABANDONMENT OF REASON. IN ORDER TO PRESERVE OUR HUMAN INTEGRITY, WE MUST FIND AND FOLLOW PEACE. WITH THE HOPE THAT ITS ACHIEVEMENT WILL BE THE GOAL OF OUR GENER- ATION, THE 1962 PACIFICANA IS DEDICATED TO THIS IDEAL. %.

lERTI September ' s activities typified those which crammed every Pirate ' s pro- gram all year. The Pirate Panic, soph- omore elections, class pictures, a suc- cessful Jitney Dinner, and our victor- ious football gameskepteveryoneina busy whirl during the first month of the school year. Growing excitement and anticipa- tion were reflected in the faces and actions of sophomores as they boarded buses for the Sophomore Campout. Official orientation commenced on September 1 2, with dazed sophomores diligently memorizing their schedules and obtaining advice, which assured them a successful first year at Pacific. An outstanding senior student for the month of Septem- ber was Stanley Tharp, who worked hard making the sophomore campout, sophomore orientation, and the Pirate Panic the most successful ever held at Pacific. 300 happy sophomores eagerly filled the buses on September 7 in anticipation of two fun-packed days at the campout. •■PTIMBIR -n196 I XjL -y rx 12 i ,a 13 i cAAX 16 tUi f. 29 f»t y M
