DEDICATED TO MR. AND MRS. GECRGE PEPPERDINE Mr. Pepperdine has demonstrated a proper and whole- some perspective by his evaluation of the important Things in life. He started with nothing and acquired a fortune through Christian principles and determination. But today he has chosen to invest his entire wealth, which he gained from his chain of Western Auto Supply stores, to Pepperdine College, and give students of higher learning a Christian environment. The significant feature of Mr. Pepperdine's life and work has been his complete optimism and his profound faith in God. In his opinion, Christian service is of infinitely more value than material possessions. His faith and his ideals are the foundation upon which the college grows. He is a unique man of this age. The One and Only lady, as Mr. Pepperdine has always Mr. and Mrs. Pepperdine at home. called his wife, has been his main source of encouragement. She proves true the old adage: Behind every great man, there is ci woman. Mrs. Pepperdine has not only stood behind her husband in all that he has done, but she has given freely of her services to many deserving organizations. The Helen Louise Girls Home was one of the products of Mrs. Pepperdine's keen interest in charitable and social work. Many homeless girls were given a fresh start in life through the home. While founding and sponsoring many such activities, she has also given unstintingly of her self to the college. She has served as a member of the Board of Trustees since the founding. in the early days of the college she many times invited the entire student body to her home. The motto ofthe school, Freely ye received, freely give, fits Mrs. Pepperdine's life as well as her husband's. Wai SJ 1-bij, 4
