- 1940 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF GEORGE PEPPERDINE COLLEGE LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA ROBERT M A R E T T • EDITOR LEE JACKSON • MANAGER The place of a yearbook in College life is both an important and difficult one. In theory the yearbook is a complete record of the school year; actually It is never that. The spirit ol the student body is too intangible, is too much with us , to allow for such completeness. But if this book can, through picture ana word, portray a true impression of the life we have seen and lived on our campus this year, its purpose will have beer, served. When we have gone our separate ways, when other footsteps tread the Promenade, may this book, with memory's aid, provide another stroll beneath the sunny palms. Our college Hie consists of two major phases Study and Play. One we see upon our athletic fields, at social gatherings, and in such activities of less serious nature. The other we see in our classrooms, at study, and other formal activities of our educational pursuits. The plan of this book is in keeping with these two major phases of our campus life and is divided into five divisions that these two phases might be represented in a more specific way. The first two sections- The College and Activities suggest the more serious aspects of our college life-the classes, the professors, and the students at study. The following sections Sports. Features, and Organizations present cur less serious activities, those gay periods of play and laughter when classes and study are for the moment forgotten. Many changes have taken place in the educational systems oi the schools of this country during recent years. Many theories of education have been discarded or changed; new philosophies have been introduced; new methods of teaching have been accepted; and new goals have been created as educational objectives. These changes and innovations have produced conditions of discord ana uncertainty as to the ultimate aims and methods of our educational systems. The founding of George Pepperdine College reflects a hope within the hear! o' its founder that the principles upon which it is established would be basic and fundamental .. . not subject to change by unproved theory. In keeping with this hope the College is fortunate to have as its leader one whose wisdom and insight into the problems oi modern education helped to mold the aims and plans of the school from Its very creation; one who, though comparatively youthful in years, has gleamed a philosophy ol education and a philosophy oi life that reflects a clear understanding and a sincere hope for both the problems of modern education and the needs of modern youth; a Christian gentleman whose untiring efforts and enthusiastic leadership of George Pepperdine College has won for him the respect and devotion of both the young and old. I PRESIDENTS MESSAGE SENIORS OF 1940 GREETINGS: I should like for this briol message to serve a two fold purpose: first, to congratulate you for having satisfactorily completed the prescribed course of study which enables you to receive a degree from George Pepperdine College; and second, to urge that you continue with the same enthusiasm and energy in accomplishing your purposes in life. The future holds a great deal for each of you. The degree of success which you attain will depend to a great degree on the attitude with which you face the problems in life. You are entering upon the threshold of leadership at a most interesting and challenging time. The end of the frontier has not been reached. There are many excellent opportunities and possibilities for the right kind of leadership. I believe that you are prepared to assume this leadership in a most effective manner. Your education has been a four-fold one. George Pepperdine College has attempted to emphasize the PHYSICAL, the MENTAL, the SOCIAL, and the SPIRITUAL values in life. I trust that you will have faith to believe, vision to see, and courage to do, that which is good and right. Through this means you will represent George Pepperdine College acceptably, you will receive satisfaction and joy for yourself, and you will contribute in a meaningful way to the welfare of civilization. I shall expect much from each of you. Sincerely, Hugh M. Tiner, President. Pago Eleven ■■ I. HERMAN CAMPBELL Registrar REGISTRAR'S MESSAGE SENIORS OF 1940 GREETINGS: You have left an impressive and a memorable page of history in volume number three at George Pepperdine College. The crowding of the many events of this school year into a nine-months period has been joyous; however, the realization that we have trot accomplished all wo planned, teaches us that The best laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft a-gley.“ At the close of this school year my heart goes out to you In youi work and in your play wherever you may be. In the language of one of our American authors 1 find the message I wish to leave with you: 1 love you for what you are. but I love you more for what you are going to be. I pray for your desires that they may be great, rather than for your satisfaction, which may be so hazardously little. J. EDDIE WEEMS Donn oi Mon The most beautiful rose is one hardly more than a bud wherein the pangs and ecstasies of desire are working for larger and finer growth. Not always shall you be what you are now. You are going forward toward something great. I am on the way with you. therefore I love you. —J. Herman Campbell. MARTHA PITTS MIDDLEBROOKS Doan ot Women Page Two] vo FACULTY Contrary to the belief of many ihai college life is all play, the endeavor to secure an education by the college student is never an easy one. To receive adequate preparation the student spends much time in study and thought; many hours in preparation and presentation of facts and figures; and years in gaining an acquaintance with the knowledge that the books and professors present to him. This is not an easy task. The student has other problems. Upon entering college he has to make new social adjustments; during his stay he is continually reminded of the conditions he must encounter in the “outside world when his college days are over; and ho must adjust and prepare himself in many ways because of these conditions. Such preparation requires much study and work. The students of George Pepperdine College are fortunate to have as instructors a group ot men and women whose philosophy of education--in keeping with the Ideals of the school reflects an understanding and interest in the problems of the student; whose relationship to the student is such that instruction and counsel upon a more personal basis is possible. Through such a relationship the students' efforts to gain adequate preparation are encouraged and strengthened, his opportunities broadened, and his problems lessened. We are grateful for a group of Christian men and women whose leadership and instruction is ever an encouragement in our educational pursuit. 7hltlw.il Francos Josophino Easley Asst. Profossor o!

This holiday was taken in conjunction with Washington's birthday on February 22 and was spent in frolic and fun in the snow at Big Bear Lake. Inheriting concessions at ball games from the present Senior Class, the Juniors have built up a rather large treasury, which is part of the project fund of the 1941 Senior Class. Each member ol the class paid dues to entertain the Seniors ol '40 at the annual Junior-Senior banquet. Doc Allen was the capable leader of the Juniors during the last two quarters.

It did not fully achieve all of its objectives, yet its activity through the year proved of considerable significance. The Board, under the supervision of Dr. E. V. Pullias, met regularly each two weeks to discuss any problems within its jurisdiction. Few of these problems were thoroughly solved, but they were recognized, pointed out. and carefully considered. The Monday morning assembly period was under the supervision of the Board this year. The Board presented a variety of programs lor the enjoyment of the student body, featuring local students of talent, outstanding speakers, and musicians, to offer a succession of highly enjoyable occasions.

To this end various programs are arranged during the year, including round-table discussions, debates, problem discussions, and talks by both faculty members and outside guests. The group is not a regularly organized club, having but only a chairman to take charge ol meetings and a committee to arrange programs. The young men realize that Christians, to work properly, must have training. They have endeavored to learn how to talk at a moment's notice, to debate with a Christ-like spirit, and to stimulate interest in religion and the Bible among follow students.

Duer during the fall term organized the Recreational Club. The objectives of the Club are: to maintain a close relationship among its members that their interest might be broadened in recreational leadership; and to promote different types of social functions in the interest of its members and other students. To become a member a student must first be interested in recreational leadership, and must have completed Recreational Leadership as a course of study. To the thirteen charter members eleven other students were added in March. Through common Interests the Club has enjoyed many functions since its organization, and a stimulated interest in recreational leadership has been created through its efforts.

Associate Professor ol Social Sciences, becoming one of a group of more than seven hundred similar clubs located throughout the world. Since that time the club, through its affiliation with the Carnegie Endowment, has regularly received books and pamphlets relating to international affairs as well as other materials on related subjects. The purpose of the club is to create interest in current international questions and to promote understanding and peaceful relations among nations. The present European conflict has given an added Interest lo the discussions this year, and the members of the club realize that an interest in such problems, along with some ability to analyze them, is imperative to their solution.

However, the Waves wort the two hard ones from their natural friendly rival, Chapman College. The Waves entered the Southern California invitation tournament held in the local gymnasium, losing the final game of the upper bracket of the A A division to the News Guild, who went on to win that division. The Waves ended the season with fifteen wins and eleven defeats. A large sqxiad ol men was carried throughout the season. Although some of them were unable to play a largo percentage of the games, the spirit and cooperative attitude of the entire squad is commendable. Those who were most often seen on the floor were Hall, Jones, McEachron, Price. Mattox, and Nunn, ai-though Ruby. Stewart. Lindberg. Allen. Weimar. Metz, and Thurman each did his bit and came through when much depended upon them. Ruby sparked the Chapman game. Stewart was high point in the V ave line-up against Redlands. Weimar’s goal in the last minute ol the Snow College game will not soon be forgotten. Price and Hall will be graduated this spring and will be sorely missed in this corning season.

Coach Hubert G. Derrick quickly formulated a first string team that was capable of giving a good account of itself throughout a rather stifl schedule. Because the College did not have league membership, this year's freshmen faced an irregular schedule. When the varsity faced junior college teams the freshmen were forced to play the opposition s second string. Often these teams were older and more experienced. Perhaps the highlights of the season were the team's victory over the strong Whittier team and its excellent showing in the Southern California Basketball Tournament, in which it was runner-up for the single A championship. Outstanding of this year's team were Charles Buck'' Smith and Ralph Buster Boerner. Smith, hailing from Memphis. Tenn., contributed many points to the team through his height and his ability to take rebounds and follow his teammates' shots. His presence on next year's varsity squad should be helpful. Boerner. a North Hollywood High graduate, added much to the team through his speed and accurate shooting.

It looked like a sure win for S.C. but those Pep' lads overturned the dope bucket, winning by a five-yard margin in 3:21 flat. It was a set-up for Pepperdine The boys were in pretty fine condition, while S.C. had just begun its season. The boys who composed the team were Russell. Pruitt, Summers and Lovvorn. The next competition was at the Long Beach Relays. Here the thinly clad lads participated in the College 2-mile i day and javelin. The same men who had run at Occidental sped the distance in 7:59. to set a new record. Davenport placed third in the javelin. For the next meet the boys took a long jaunt down in the Southwest to Austin, Texas, to take part in the famed Texas Relays. Five boys plus Coach Weems made the trip. Here High Hurdler Thomas Whitney showed up well under the stiffest competition in the nation. He ran 15 flat in the preliminaries, but failed to make the finals. Our mile relay quartet composed of Pruitt. Summers, Lovvorn, and Russell placed second to the Louisiana State University in the university class mile relay. The winner's time v as 3:18.4. Page Eighty-two BOB DAVENPORT So long. Pepperdine, is what the boys said on Tuesday. April 23. as Coach Weems, four boys, and Dr. Higger left by rail for Des Moines. Iowa, the home grounds of the famous Drake Relays. On Friday, April 26, in the preliminaries the lads came storming in a close second In the mile relay in approximately 3:19. The finals in which Pepperdme withdrew' were won in 3:18.4. On the following day the lads were to defend their last year's record time In the two-mile relay. Russell. Pruitt. Summers, and Lovvom successfully defended the title by winning again the college two-mile relay In the time of 7:55. The weather conditions and the lack of competition caused the slow time. On April 19-20 at Lawrence, Kansas, the Kansas Relays were hold. Bob Davenport of Pepperdine entered for the first time the Decathlon. This is a two-day event with five contests on one day and five the next day. Davenport came out 6th in the finals among the nation's best ton event men. By the time this annual goes to press the sea son is about half over. The West Coast Relays come May 11, where the boys plan to enter the mile relay and high hurdles. On May 17 comes the Grand Champions of 1940 . when our crack two-mile relay team runs the Stanford Indian quartet for a crack at the world's two-mile mark. June 7 comes the Compton Invitational Meet. Some of the boys plan to attend other meets during the summer in hope of getting to run in the United States Olympics on July 11 in the Coliseum. The Freshmen were well represented by Harrison Packard, who promises to be a top-flight 440 and 880 man in the near future. James Pierce and Frank Skandera looked plenty good in the mile run. Dick Kersey. Bill Griswold. Harrison Packard, and Frank Skandera placed second in the record-breaking freshman sprint rnediey relay at Long Beach Relays on March 26. P490 Eighly-;hf«4 Pdgo Eighty-four rENNIS The most successful Pepperdine athletic team in action against other schools was the tennis squad. The team defeated many of the smaller colleges by overwhelming scores, blanking Whittier 23 0: Redlands (who is the Southern California Conference Champion) 23-0: Santa Barbara State 19-1; Santa Monica J.C. 23-0 and 19-4; Cornpton J.C. 16-9. Against the larger col leges Pepperdine succeeded in establishing for itself a good reputation. Against U.S.C., the holders of the State title, Pepperdine lost a 14-11 decision in a match that came near being a major upset. The margin of defeai was the 11-9, 7-5 defeat of Iim Nelson by S.C.'s George Toley, who is ranked 14th in the United States. In their match, both Jim Nelson and Dan Burke at first doubles, and Dick Williams and Gary Ruby at second doubles, scored decisive victories, Williams and Ruby winning quite handily, 11-9, 6-1. Against U.C.L.A. it was the same score. Dan Burke losing a three-setter to U.C.L.A.'s Bob Stanford. 4-6, 6-4, 9-7. To top this successful record the Pepperdine squad defeated, by the score of 6-3, the touring tennis team from Arizona. Phoenix J.C. Pago Elqhly llvo DAN BURK BILL THOMAS GARRISON RUBY Pdqo Efcjhty ai BASEBALL The Pepperdine baseball team completed its second year of competition with a record of five wins and nine defeats, not quite as good as last year's record, although at the start of the season the 1940 squad was conceded to be a better balanced ball club. The Waves played brilliant baseball at times, and at other times showed complete reversal of form, committing as many as eleven errors in one game. Pepperdine started the season with a win over Santa Monica Junior College 7-4; but lost the following two games to Chapman and Whittier. The Peppers next defeated Southwestern University 24-2 in the only real slug-fest of the season. The high-light of the entire season was the 4-2 win over the highly touted Whittier Poets in the second game of the series. The Whittier aggregation had trounced the Waves in their first game 8-0, and it was a fighting Pepperdine toam that took the field determined to break the jinx. This was the first time in the short history of Pepperdine baseball that the Waves had posted a win over the Poets. Tillman Hall pitched for the Waves and hurled his best game of the season, allowing only four hits, three of which came in the last inning. Backing up Hall's air tight pitching, his teammates played errorless ball. Other two-game series were played with Glendale Junior College, Woodbury, La Verne, and Fullerton College. The prospects for next year are very good, with fourteen veterans of this year's team returning, in addition to some promising freshmen. Front row: Ruby. Imblor. Stewart. Lynch. lone .

Pa jo Elghty-nirvo JANE MOSS Womon' intramural manager Under the direction of Eleanor O'Neal the women's athletics of the College developed into a very spirited organization this year. At the beginning of the year the women were divided into separate teams, each team choosing its captain and entering into competition with the other groups. The type of sport to be played was decided by the captains of each team at the beginning of each quarter, and competition in this sport was continued throughout the one quarter. The winning and second-place teams engaged in the final play-ofl at the end of each quarter's competition. The winning team in each type ol sport was given a trophy which is to be handed down to next year's champion of the Pago Ninoly particular sport. The first sport to be engaged in at the beginning ol the year was volley ball. Totsy Coopers team was victorious in this division and, together with the other captains of the women s teams, challenged the captains of the men's intramural groups in a final game of the quarter. The winter quarter ushered in basketball, and after the quarter s competition was completed. Miss Cooper s team received the first place award in this sport also. With the coining of softball season the basis of competition for the program was from a different source. Disbanding the team arrangement the dormitory and day student women challenged each other to a tournament of softball. Other sports engaged in and which provided competition were tennis, badminton, archery, and ping-pong. Pagi Ninoty-or.o If all that one gained from college were the facts and theories totted down from lectures and books his stay in school would be a very uneventful one. These facts often pass with the years. There is another phase oi college life. The associations and friendship formed and enjoyed are not forgotten. They make the student's stay at college more enjoyable and provide his memory with pleasant thoughts for future years. For this reason the many social clubs of George Pepperdine College serve a definite, constructive purpose. They contribute much to make our college life what it is. These Clubs are organized under the direction of the Social Committee of the college, have faculty members as sponsors, and have in no way any inter-collegiate affiliation. Average membership is about fifteen. The Women's Clubs have weekly meetings at which they serve refreshments, discuss plans for parties, or enjoy a period of club fellowship. Most of the Women's Clubs were organized in 1938, when the school was established. The Cleziette and Clava Dia, Women's Day-Student's Clubs, were two new additions this year. Pai Nlnvty-four Batoy.

In the main, they were organized when the school was first founded, when the bases of friendship among students were not well established. These clubs have contributed much to the growth and traditions that have created the present school spirit. These organizations exist for the purpose of creating closer friendships among members and aiding in an organized way any activity that contributes to the betterment of the school and of the spirit of the student body. Organized under the direction of the Social Committee of the college, each club has a faculty sponsor.
