 That Once A Year Season Spring. . . That once a year season That no one ever seems to get Enough of. Balmy days when classes Seem too long. Even the library is Too confining. The lawn beckons With its blanket of daisies. Perfect for propping up a book Or a daydream filled head. Spring at Pepperdine is Not so unique. . .or is it? It's baseball games. Spring Presents, Western Day. . . Mostly it's time out for Thinking. Lying on the lawn, book in hand. Mind on anything but the book. Not all academic, Not all play. Time for study and dreaming — Prelude to Summer. The time of year When footprints aren't As noticeable on the Dew-covered morning grass. The way to class Is too short. Hardly time to hum A song from last year’s musical. It's holding hands On the Promenade. And watching sunshine play Through blinds in the dorm. Spring is the middle trimester The beginning of the last -The Utopia looked for in winter, Remembered in summer. — Susan G'runwald Page 83

'Jviecwict This Winter Trimester edition of the Promenade is the second of three sections of the Pepperdine College Yearbook” to be produced during the 1965-66 college year. As a magazine-yearbook, the total publication is designed to accomplish with all three editions combined what the traditional one-book” achieves - plus more timely coverage and a broader academic experience for journalism students. The Promenade is attempting to meet the unique challenge of the Trimester system with a publication best suited to the unique needs of year-round education. Each Trimester's edition this year contains 80 pages, for a yearbook” total of 240 pages. Thus with only 80 pages to include all portrait and group photos -plus a record of this Trimester’s many activities - this Winter Edition is rather tight.” Areas of the college proper not covered” in this or in the first edition will be included in the third one in July, thus assuring the complete coverage of one annual.” Yearbooks are changing in colleges across the country. In many cases, they are giving way to more magazine” type publications, and in some cases they are being dropped altogether. Many books are varying or changing size, format, and frequency of publication, as’ well as initiating other innovations. Several traditional practices are being reevaluated. including formal faculty and administration photos, individual undergraduate pictures, routine group and club shots, and long-popular features. This is not to say that these sections and features are all being dropped - just looked at in terms of the changing times. And so, for the Pepperdine College Promenade, caught up in the new concept of year-round education and the changing academic calendar, this is a period of experimentation. While we believe our present three-book concept to be a valid experimentation. we’ll take another look when the third book comes out this July. Perhaps another experiment will be in order. At any rate, the purpose of the Promenade, regardless of format or frequency, is to capture something of the spirit of college life, and to record the highlights of the college year for future reference to The good ol’ days,” Remember when.” and Ha. there's so-and-so’s picture.” - staff
