Lost, found
is on its own
The lost and found department
is running smoothly, now that a
new system for reporting articles
has been initiated. Mr. Earl Hold¬
er, of the bookstore, keeps in
daily contact with Dean Stong in
regrad to articles which have
been found.
Anyone losing or finding an
article should report it imme¬
diately to one of the designated
offices. Lost articles arc report¬
ed on yellow slips and found
ones on green slips. If an ar¬
ticle is found the loser is no¬
tified by mail and upon pre¬
senting the postcard and prop¬
er identification he may recover
his article from one of the of¬
fices.
After reporting the loss of an
article if loser finds it he should
report on a green slip so that the
lost and found department will
be relieved of further responsi¬
bility.
The lost and found keeps ar¬
ticles, or looks for their return
for a thirty day period after
which the article is put up for
sale. Many articles are turned in
but are not claimed. Because of
this fact, anywhere from 50 to 100

Student poll next Wednesday
to answer post-war questions
Student’s opinions will be gathered this coming Wednesday in the 9 o’clock classes as a
part of a nation-wide college poll to find out how they think on such vital questions as : pres¬
ent and post-war relief abroad ; post-war settlements ; new world organization ; America after
the war; and general opinion of our Armed Forces. The SCA with Pricilla Hannah, Chairman
of Commission on Public Relationships, and Bill Ely, Chairman of Commission on Christian
World Order, are sponsoring this poll at PJC. Dr. Harbeson is strongly in favor of this and
will appreciate the cooperation of all the students and faculty. Signatures are not required :
ballots remain a secret. Each
student indicates age, sex, grade,
college major, and whether or not
an Associate (YWCA, YMCA, or
SCA) member. Students who do
not have 9 o’clock classes on
Wednesday and who would like
to participate, may obtain ballots
in the SCA office, 25C.
SCA has played a double roll
this semester under the direction
of Walt Rait. In addition to the
poll to be conducted, SCA has
also organized a new Inter-
Church Youth Council of Pasa¬
dena.
The Council’s first major ac¬
tivity is the sponsoring of a
youth inter-racial, inter-denom¬
inational Easter Sunrise serv¬
ice, to be held Easter Sunday
at 6:30 a. m. in the Gold Shell
at Memorial Park. This service
is presented in co-operation
with the Scott Methodist
Church. At this time the play
“Simon, the Cyrene,” will be
given by an inter-racial cast,

Four class presidents
sponsor Bob Crosby ,
Eddie Miller band
Reports from sage profit, Roger Wood, senior class prexy,
definitely promises tomorrow night’s Athletic Club Inter-Class
Dance as the “last for duration.” Chron readers have for a
long time been hearing that school dances were out, that such
and such a dance was definitely the last; this time the story
seems to be true. “Since this is to be the last,” sighs hopeful
Roger, “come on kiddies . . . let’s have a crowd like we used
PJC actors
enter annual
play contest
Nome, Alaska, a lonely aviation
outpost, and “Women Who Wait”
will provide the setting and at¬
mosphere for PJC’s entry in the
one-act play festival, held at the
Pasadena Community Playhouse
May 15?
This festival is usually a tour¬
nament where schools from all
over Southern California com¬
pete for honors. Transporta¬
tion difficulties have limited the
competitors this year to four
schools. PJC has entered the
contests for the past three
years, receiving third place
honors two years ago.
The play this year, presented
by lower division students, is a
powerful story of the women who
have men in the air corps, and the
story of their patience in waiting
for those men to return. It is di¬
rected by Elizabeth Flint.
OMD plans
new carnival
In an East Campus comp room
OMD members plotted the Axis
downfall last week. To equal
Fullerton Junior College’s ninety
thousand dollar Stamp and Bond
sale, members planned a studen-
dous revisal of the one-time
yearly OMD play Carnival. A
boomsale of War Stamps and
Bonds will be undertaken with
each organization on campus
capable of participation.
From Stu Fitch, head of this
year’s OMD Queen’s Committee,
comes the following announce¬
ment. Riccy, AMS, AWS, Non-
Riccy, ROTC, and all other or¬
ganizations are being requested
to turn in names of at least
one girl per club. From this

to have — back in the good old
days.” To obtain a capacity crowd
of six hundred people, girls are
permitted, and even asked to
bring service men and Cal Tech
students to the dance.
Bob Crosby’s band, under
the baton of Eddie Miller, will
provide the music starting at
8:00 p. m. Miller, voted by
swing fans “the world’s great¬
est saxophonist,” took over the
Bobcats when Crosby joined
the army. He revamped the
band and has been playing for
a week to enthralled Hollywood
palladium audiences.
The dance is sponsored by the
four class presidents: Roger
Wood, senior; Stuart Fitch, ju¬
nior; Howard Jessen, sophomore;
and Allan Clark, freshman.
Cooperation
is Lancer,
Spartan aim
Closer cooperation between
Lancers and Spartans is the chief
purpose of an April 15 Lancer-
Spartan meeting in the Social
Hall. Both East and West Cam¬
pus members will be present to
celebrate the first gathering this
semester.
Previous parties have taken
place every year, usually two
for East Campus and two for
both campuses combined. At
the Thursday meeting games
will be played, after which ice
cream, courtesy of Lancers, and
food provided by Spartans will
be enjoyed by all. Such prob¬
lems as the student union, and
combining the two service clubs
more closely will be discussed.
Under the leadership of Marie
Du Shane, Spartan president, and
Gordon Johnson, Lancer presi¬
dent, the get-to-gether is being
given careful consideration. Mar¬
garet Theiss, head of food, and
Dave Kilmer, Gordon Johnson,
entertainment, are among others
giving party services.
TJnexploded Bombs7 To Be Presented At Assembly
Dr. Wilson to speak at
second defense assembly
Highlighted by an Army film, “Unexploded Bombs,” to¬
day’s E. C. assembly deals with high explosives and protective
measures to be taken in homefront bombing raids, Dr. Wil¬
liam Wilson of Washington Junior High School, in charge
of assembly, will lecture on common dangers connected with
war bombings and explosives, and tell of preventative mea¬
sures to be used in the home,
Dr. Wilson will naturally be un¬
able to do, showing most recent
methods of extinguishing incen¬
diary bombs, show how to best
escape falling bombs and estab¬
lish protection from them.
Strongly urged by the Pasa¬
dena Defense Council, today’s
assembly is the second in a
series of three designed to in¬
form students and faculty how
to best use preventative and
protective measures in modern
warfare in relation to home de¬
fense. These assemblies are
considered important in main¬
taining a safe, clear headed
populace, both on the campus
and in the cities surrounding it.
West Campus will simultane¬
ously be addressed by Dr. Max
de Laubenfels on “War Gases,”
which week before last was sub¬
ject of first E.C. compulsory as¬
sembly. E.C. also will be second¬
hand audience when Dr. Wilson
speaks this morning.

War activity
news posted
for JC coeds
Much information about war¬
time activities for women may
be obtained by consulting the
bulletin board outside the Dean
of Women’s office where valuable
information about war-time jobs
will be found. According to a
posted article women engineers
are needed and girls interested in
mathematics may take courses
at leading colleges to prepare for
this branch of the service. More
than 175 colleges and universi¬
ties are now offering engineer
degrees to women. Meteorology,
too, is being opened to the wom¬
en. Two years of college, includ¬
ing a course in mathematics and
physics will qualify girls for a
Civil Service job, paying $2,400
a year.
Girls interested in aviation
can make from 200 to 500 dol¬
lars a month as instructors if
they have a pilot’s license and
receive passing marks from the
Civil Aeronautical Administra¬
tion. Girls not qualifying under
this heading can learn under
the Civil Service, pay as you
learn plan. Leading colleges
and universities offer training
in this field.
Three pretty coeds planned entertainment for mothers and daughters at traditional banquet. Left to
right: Kathryn Howett, Shirley Davis and Barbara Wickham. The banquet last night which was the
spot-light of the week for coeds was held in the West Campus Student Union, giving guests plenty of
vitamins for 30 cents.
