FRANK TINER, Senior Class President Bob Rowland, senior vice- president, and Genevieve Galbraith, class secretary, pushed class activities through the scramble of counting credits, exams, and an overcrowded social cal- endar. BOW ROWLAND, Vice-President GENEVIEVE GALBRAITH, Secretary PRESENTED by the Senior Class of 1947 Traditionally, every year the senior class leaves to the college a gift that they think will aid the school in some manner. This year, the seniors presented the college with a huge double bulletin board mounted behind glass— your class changes, chapel programs, social events, etc., are listed weekly and daily; the gift is to the school, and its students, from the senior class of ' 47. ACADEMY of Great Films, presented by the Junior Class— among them were Cheers for Miss Bishop Meet John Doe Our Town The Lost of the Mohicans Little Lord Fontleroy Lost Days of Pompeii Tom Brown School Days William Penn Gunga Din Beau Geste Led by Carroll Davis as president, the junior class succeeded in rais- ing enough money from their bi-monthly revival of movies to sponsor the annual Jr.-Sr. banquet. JOY PACE, Vice-President CARROLL DAVIS, Junior Class President What with those famed class dues and the Academy of Great Films, nev this year, the Junior class netted enough money to sponsor the annual banquet honoring the seniors in the spring. The movies, arranged by Lloyd Settle, made Tuesday nights in the Aud. a custom —class members sold tickets— late- comers sometimes got rates, some- times sneaked in free. The real economy was in the season ticket which sold heavily the fall quarter. Disregarding the commercial side, the school enjoyed the movies which sometimes couldn ' t help being funny in unfunny places; which were often better than we had remembered them. They gave us a chance to catch up on the classics we had missed. JOHNNY BEAN, Sophomore Class President Two down, two to go, the sopho- more class, with Johnny Bean as prexy, found themselves caught be- tween the gigontic freshman class and the seniority of the Juniors and Seniors. As usual, the sophomore year is a time to catch breath, and get ready for the home stretch, but the class nevertheless found time to sponsor an Italian spaghetti din- ner for the student body, which was . . .

It was served on Sunday evening, complete with banquet-style tables, ferns for decoration, and to eat: French bread with garlic-butter, green salad, true Italian spaghetti, and ice-cream for dessert. The Sophomore class, for all of a job well done, did not moke any money. . - V .• ■.• • ' - • . , fXt. ■ ' DASHING through the snow, in a horseless open toboggan Highlighting their first year as college students, the Freshman class called together their vast numbers, collected dues, elected class officers, then planned a gigantic Snow Party at Mount Waterman that far excelled any other of their later class activities. The Frosh proved their college spirit by opening the field day in the snow to the entire school. ■ I Not only did th is class of green caps contribute to the social whirl of the campus, but they also added almost half the national sweepsteoks- winning forensics squad, a major part of our tremendous football team, and student publications staffs. They should contribute something— out of 1 250 they number 700! Navy veteran Bill Stogsdill proved excellent executive prowess in organizing the unwieldy host of 700 fresh- men, and guiding their sspirited affairs. The fresh- man class caught the Pep- perdine way of doing things surprisingly fast, and thereby gave the whole campus a boost in spirit as well as in number.

The year 1 946-47 is but the tenth year of its existence. We feel that few colleges could look back into their histories and mark the progress of their first ten years with as much pride as we of Pepper- dine College can. The main part of this progress has been in the em- bedding of a great ideal in the hearts and minds of students— it is the ideal of service, the ideal that the richest life belongs to those who serve their fellow men. rm- MR. and MRS.

Dear Pepperdiners: This has been the greatest year in our history, both from the standpoint of growth, and de- velopments. Notable successes have been made in many areas: speech, religion, athletics, drama, music, art. Such a record is no accident. It is the result of your understanding of and an appreciation for the ideals to which the College is dedicated and to your sincere cooperation in maintaining these ideals. Even though a great many of you hove become a part of the college community this year for the first time, you have quickly grasped that spirit which is Pepperdine. Let us be thankful for the privilege of living and working together as we seek to make our contribution to the building of a better world. HUGH M.

Many people expressed fear at the beginning of the year that our enlarged student body would spoil the spirit of our college. Their fears were unfounded, for this has been Pepperdine ' s best year. You have been a wonderful student body. Never has the spirit of friendliness, co- operation, tolerance, and goodwill shone so brightly. Although you are composed of many nationalities, races, faiths, you have lived without any manifestation of ill will. In this, especially, you are a noble example to a sick, embittered, quarreling world. To work and grow with you tov ard the highest goal of Christian character has been indeed a great privilege. E.

Miss Marsh, aggressive, champion for democracy in college life, author of books on personality development, has spontan- eous sense of humor. Machinery in the wheels that naake the college revolve are the offices, seldom seen, yet depended upon for necessary results . . . the bookstore, temporary registration stations, student personnel, finance, publications, publicity offices. Mr. Olaf Tegner, yet young enough to be called Oly by the students who knew him when, not only is president of the Alumni and Is Alumni Basketball Manager, but also teaches classes in history, makes contacts for students that they couldn ' t make themselves. As Public Relations man. Bob King finds his time filled to overflowing with material that must be sent out advertising the school and informing the press of college activities which are of public interest. Perhaps the most important and far-reaching phase of our college life and education is the Library . . . treasury of knowledge, rich in ex- perience and wisdom. The Library is too young to be com- plete in every department, yet has begun a priceless collection of ancient Bibles . . . has launched well into the development of a record library. The system of the Library is carefully handled by Miss Pierson, head li- brarian . . . assisting students in their search and research are Mrs. Ward, Mrs. Thurman, and Mrs. Squire. Flower arrangements, and displays of student value give the booklined walls centers of interest.

P. Fenn, working with six other instructors in the largest department, boasting over 300 majors. The phenomenal raise in this number is due to the increased interest of students in the world of business and the opportunity for advanced schooling that the G.I. bills provide. Not only does the Business department teach the 93 courses, but it also operates the mimeographing facilities for the school. Miss Terry Chisolm, business major, is in charge of the mimeographing and secretary to Mr. Fenn. Offices and classrooms reflect the business-like, learning attitude of the essence of courses offered through the depart- ment . . . Designed for learning, the new building adds to our campus another mark in the quest for advancement. fuMne M J. p. FENN business head In October, 1945, blue prints for the Business Administration building were placed in the hands of the contractors for their study. . . . Spring of lost year came and the frame- work of a new educational construc- tion was commenced on the corner by the old athletic field. ... By the fall, the picture on the right greeted business students. Then, in March, the building, com- plete, was ready for students and teachers. . . . Approximated cost of $150,000 plus constant adding of equipment was the pric e of this stately building. The addition of courses to this year ' s curriculum mode obtainable degrees in five departments of business: Business Administration, Accounting, Secre- tarial Science, Economics, and Busi- ness Education. Over 90 courses, throughout the year, are offered by the department, with still more plans for enlarging next year both in classes and instructors. cent . . . Studying human behavior by tests and meosurements, and learning to teoch others are the primary aims of the op- proximate 45 majors in Edu- cation and Psychology.

Plans for enlarging the department, especially in Journalism. With the majority of English majors women, there ore many men who minor in the department to supplement their major studies in Physical Education, Speech, and History, particularly.

Dr. Aiken, head of Home Economics, not only includes classes of Economics in the curri- culum, but the study of science as requirements is extremely important for preparations in the field of dietetics, teaching, or homemaking. Future plans for next year rs to convert the basement of the President ' s home into a laboratory for experimental purposes of a scientific nature. The four instructors in the Home Ec department and the science teachers moke up the staff to educate the young ladies the arts of home planning, dietetics, nursing, proper family care, and practice teaching with due regard for sociological, scientific, and changing influences. Dr. Aiken organizes her classes into mock family units that typify the situations to be met after leaving the college. One quarter of living in a practice house is required of alt majors in the department of Home Economics. FRENCH COUNCIL . . . honored guest of Tinerj and French Club DR.

As have most of the other departments the past year. Languages has expanded to include seven instructors and offers degrees not only in Roma nce Languages as a unit, but in both French and Spanish if desired.

The Department of Religion, similar to the others of the school, has grown tremendously this last year, and is only one in the college to offer a Master of Arts degree in its field. . Dr. Ralph Wilburn is head Sf the Graduate Division. Top: Group of students prepare for discussion at the Southwest Youth Rally, held on campus last April 5th. In addition to the Youth Rally, the young people of the college meet every Monday evening in a Relig- ious Forum to discuss current prob- lems that confront the Christian youth of today.

Acting head of Natural Science is Dr. Campbell, until position is filled next year. The approximate 1 5 Natural Science majors find new worlds to conquer in theories, and symbols of Chemistry and Physics. The department is divided into two major sections: Biological Sciences and Chemistry. Degrees may be obtained in both divisions. New laboratories for next year are finished, and additions to curriculum and faculty ore arranged. ntathematic y aoHract art . . . MATH paves the way from Mathematics, abstract art . . Beside interest in the classes themselves, Dr. Frances Campbell, head of the Math- matics Department, would make study a pleasure, with her charm. With only 10 upper division majors in Math, the de- partment is important mainly for pre- engineering courses; over 100 enrolled this year for these courses. Four other in- structors teach beside Campbell. Usuality of the math students is that they gen- erally transfer their junior year to a school of engineering.

Geography has always been an intrinsic fact of our sociological lives, but up until now, the students did not realize if so fully. Nine instructors are employed by the department, with plans to enlarge it to offer degrees in Sociology, Political Science and Geography.

From Autumn to Spring we found certain things os much a part of our campus as the seasons: lines. The first line we met— for some of us it was four years ago, for others, just last September— was the registration line. The first quarter it stretched from Station I inside the Library, through the double doors, out to the magic circle. Freshman Week initiated other kinds of lines— the watermelon line, and a mud-freckled line of tug-o-war in Freshmen on the Green. J THE firsl day AND Ihe first week Spring. he boddm ° ' ' heir fa„ , ' ° ' ' : ' ' ' he b, ' ' y Qir Not least was the chow line which underwent a few favorable changes before too many of us started going without lunch— and there was the eternal line at the bookstore which did not always reward a patient customer by having the right vol- ume in stock! And that was a prob- lem mutual to us and the bookstore. After the Graphic staff was hurridly assembled, lines began to flow into news stores and advertisements; stage rehearsals heard lines from plays and Pepperdine ' s second opera, and there was the rumor that Dolores, female Adonis of the fish- pond, had got tangled in the regis- tration line, and had signed up for Spanish 5A and a course in the Fundamentals of Speech! bird A of a feat Iter flock . • .

The avalanche of G.I. veterans into the school is a pendulum reaction to the sudden drafting of men students into the armed forces. The violent nature of the war has had its reaction also on the person- alities of the students, in a sober broadening— which mere aging couldn ' t have done. The majority of patrons of the Library are men who are now seriously tackling the problem of regaining the four years that they gave to the war. Our Library is the heart of learning on our campus, and out of all the knowledge and wisdom that is stored there, we wonder if the Library has the answers we seek; and if so, we wonder if we are able, for all of our studying, to see, and know how to live. We came to college ... to find that it is a Library of raw material, not ready-made, but to be made, by us, into whatever we are willing to make it. volumes o hnowledg e and reverence Most remembered quality in the personality of our school is the daily assembly for quiet moments of devotion held in the college auditorium. And the most remembered part of the college devotion is the audience singing. After-chapel audienced experienced special programs of choral and instrumental music, and dramatic presentations. The hour is used also for class meetings, the nev ly instigated briefs of major films and club meetings. STUDENTS and faculty meet to enjoy moments of combined worship, school unit ' AND NOON lay heavy on flower and tree The only orderly way to get your refreshments is to line up. The magician had a line, and so did Edda the donkey and Sgt. Dick WoJIen; foot- ball bought its line-up, and the college band, a melody- line. The lines of our campus are long and low, Californian, wonderfully modern and in keeping with progressive thinking and living. Exciting night on campus was when shooting stars drew silver-red lines across the sky— our earth was pass- ing through the tail of a comet just eight days after its passing— science did not know what to predict; what we saw was an almost constant web of streaking meteors.

Bob McCluskey and Bob Lindstrom, prize 100 yard dash men, brought in first and second places. Other dashmen were French, Whitson, Bossett and Gammey. Philbrick, best 880 man, was closely followed by Andy Martin and Preston Lane most of the time. Philbrick recorded a 1:57.8 time 880 in March. Dave Baker took over the mile where Shipp left off, after leaving for the season. Most improved miler was Jim Pierce, who clocked in at 4:41 seconds after only two months work-outs. Ross, Morefield and Torgeson joined the ranks of milers. April 5 at the Compton Meet, the Mile Relay Team met their first defeat on the West Coast. San Diego meet April 12 defeated Wave track team, but Mile Relay Team hit its stride once again by winning over San Diego State. Andy Martin, Homer Philbrick, Preston Lane. I..
