 I THE PROMENADE T, ESENTATION HE senior class of H George Pepperdine In the two short years in proudly presents another one of firsts. ch this college has grown to a standard, accredited Jour-year institution, there have been many things which had to be done fdktho first time. Because they wore 'firsts, there was a groat f sonsibiliiy for the future of the college in the doing of them. T hose of us who have been here to help produce first athletic terfms. first newspapers, first music organizations, first clubs, or first debate teams have had parts in a rare activity. We have had the work of shaping and moulding George Pepperdine College; we have set the pace! In the production of this first yearbook we trust that we have cut a worthwhile pattern. We have constantly kept that ideal before us. It is .our sincere desire that the 1939 Promenade will take its place wirh the other firsts as examples upon which future years of tradition may be built.

u ECAUSE we are first we have had no tradition to bind us. We have had the opportunity to build a yearbook that will shov.r the college as if is and as we wish to remember it. Our ami has been to show all phases ol the college life, stopping for no division pages or lengthy descriptions, but making full use of our limited space by the use of large pictures and pointed comment. Accordingly, the 1939 Promenade takes you first over the campus to show the buildings, then into the administration to meet the college officers, into the departments to see the work as it is actually carried on. into the Jour classes to meet the students, into the extracurricular activities to see the clubs and the athletic teams, and finally into candid contact with details of the college life through a generous snapshot section.
