KODAK DAY TO BE
HELD TO GET CUTS
FOR BIG ANNUAL
BIG PLAY MAY FIRST
Capable Cast Is Chosen for
“Servant in the
House”
Initial steps have been taken to¬
wards the actual production of the
Senior Class play the “Servant in the
House” by the selection of the cast
There was sharp competition for the
parts, especially among the girls and
those who were selected are undoubt-
ly the cream of the Senior dramatic
talent. While three of its members
are without previous experience in
acting, the entire cast gives promise
of developing into one of the best
that has represented a Pasadena Sen¬
ior Class Play so far. Miss Sterling
herself is' delighted with the cast and
believes that it is far above the aver¬
age in dramatic ability.
The entire cast is working hard
and will hold daily rehearsals until
May 1st, the date of the production.
As an added precaution against in¬
jury to nerves or voice strict training
rules are being observed and late
hours, too much sweets, etc., are ta¬
boo. There is every reason to believe
that with a combination of an excel¬
lent coach, good material, and hard
work a play of sterling quality will
be produced.
There is, properly speaking, no
•tar part in the play, the roles of
Manson, the Servant, the Vicar, and
Robert Smith being equal in impor¬
tance. These parts are taken respec¬
tively by Prank Bleauvelt Ire Town-
•end and Frederick Cohn. The roles
of the Bishop and Rogers, the lackey,
altho less in importance require good
character acting and are capably han¬
dled by Eddie Mitchell and Kellogg
Krebs. Auntie, the Vicar’s wife, is
played by Marie Johnson, and Mary
his niece by Margaret Davis.

Urges Students to Pay Strict
Attention to Edu¬
cation
“Sherman put it mildly,” cried
all the disappointed, be-swetted,
melting, perspiring and dripping
swains as the girls per schedule
marched off with all the honors
in the Liberty Bond parade last
Saturday.
Altogether, the students of P.
H. S. formed the best drilled and
organized civilian group in the
parade. Everywhere along the
streets people commented on
their excellent carriage.
The Service flag was also a
source of much interest to the
crowds. The large number of
stars was also admired by the
throng.
The band performed up to its
usual high class standard and
some of the pieces it played
would be a credit to a profession¬
al organization. Mr. Parker de¬
serves a lot of thanks from the
Student Body for the training the
different members of the band
have received from his hands.
The Teachers’ Association
marched carrying silk American
flags. Prominent among the num¬
ber were the teachers of the
school.

To many the large banner display¬
ed in the recent Liberty Bond parade
meant nothing — but ask the Sopho¬
mores — they know different. As the
culmination of a good deal of plan-
nins and hard work, the class is pre¬
pared to announce the first appear¬
ance in Pasadena of the Orpheus
Club of Los Angeles on Friday even¬
ing, April 26, in the auditorium.
The Sophs have been trying for a
long time to do something that would
help in the war and at the same time
help P. H. S. The idea of creating or
at least rejuvenating the Scholarship
fund of the school was suggested.
Then another exceedingly bright In¬
dividual thought of investing in Lib¬
erty Bonds or Thrift Stamps, which¬
ever will aid P. H. S. in the thrift
contest of Southern Cal, and let the
Interest and principal revert to the
scholarship fund. Again the inspira¬
tion — “Why not have the Orpheus
club that won the first prize at the
Frisco Exposition in 1915 for the
best male Chorus in the United States,
give a concert and turn over the pro¬
seeds to the funds?”
No sooner said than done! A dele¬
gation went to the manager of the
slub. Ths plan met with h!s and the
club's approval — and there you are.

made a school affair pure and sim¬

NEXT SALVAGE EVENT
I _
i The soldiers are calling for books
and more books. But they want good
books. Don’t send them the delapidat-
ed copies from the attic or fashion
plates or telephone directories, they
might not care for that sort of litera¬
ture.
P. H. S. is not asking for new
books so it will not mean a money
sacrifice. But books that you have
read and are tired of will be gladly
accepted by the army and navy li¬
braries. Any good fiction is asked for
also non-fiction such as military
science, airplanes, engineering, agri¬
culture, business, electricity, mechan¬
ics, war books etc, also some text
books as arithmetic, algebra, geom¬
etry, and French conversation.
Magazines which are not worn and
are not more than a year old will be
sent to the camps the out of date and
worn copies, the newspapers and old
books will be sold for junk.
BY AL WESSON
With their main objective the Southern California Champion¬
ship, last Saturday, the Pasadena tracksters successfully launch¬
ed their terrific offensive in the title meet held at San Bernardino,
carrying the day’s festivities by storm and winning by a four
point margin over the Manual Arts army of dirt kickers who came
out second with the honors of the afternoon. When Captain Bob
Shlaudeman made a flight of 20 feet, 7 inches in the broad jump,
cinching a place in that event, the meet was put on ice for
Pasadena-
The schools finished as follows: Pasadena, 25; Manual Arts, 21;
San Bernardino, 17 ; Hollywood, 8 ; Los Angeles, 7 ; L. A. Polytech¬
nic, 7; Santa Ana, 7; Fullerton, 6; Long Beach, 6; Riverside, 6;
Chaffee, 5; Lincoln, 5; San Diego, 5; Pomona, 4; Harvard, 4;
South Pasadena, 3; Chino, 3; Compton, 2; El Monte, 2. The al¬
leged dark-horses from Beaumont and Hemet failed to dark-
horse and kept their score column perfectly free from pencil
marks of any sort resembling figures. Eight other struggling
prep squads followed their example by carrying home a total of
digits that resembled Iceland’s score in the Olympic games.
Immediately after the end of the relay, the last event of the
day, Principal Clements of Redlands Hfeh, who won the big Tri¬
bune trophy last year, presented the championship cup to Cap¬
tain Bob Shlaueman. In awarding the cup to P. H. S., Mr. Clem¬
ents said that it was a pleasure to do so as he remembered the
fine spirit shown by Pasadena High last year when she relinquish¬
ed the trophy to Redlands as soon as it became known that the
Crown City team had unknowingly used an ineligible man. Pasa-
dent won the Tribune cup last year, but gave it up when it was
learned that Silvas was ineligible-
Two hundred athletes clad in clothes that defied warm weather
carried out a concerted attack on the Southern Cal., records, and
when their work was over, three marks were ready for burial.
Schiller cut a second off the 440 record, and Johnny Boyle, the
boy wonder who comes from L. A. High and doesn’t care wheth¬
er the public knows it or not, almost heaved the discus out of the
county, forcing the markers to stretch their tape 115 feet, 11 1-2
inches in order to find out if he had tossed the saucer out of the
city limits.
Another thing that may interest P. H. S. students is that Pad-
dock ran the 100 yard dash in only ten flat- Up to the finish of the
century last Saturday, the record was 10:2 which had remained
whole from the year 1915. Chas. has run so many ten flat hun¬
dreds this year that the local fans are beginning to think that
the interscholastic record of 9:4 is due for a wreck if the Pas¬
adena spike artist tears up Mother Earth much faster than he has
been doing lately to bet on, by six yards.
Charles did not have things quite Besides Mr. Paddock, K. Saunders,
all his own way in the century, how- r. Shlaudeman, and C. Fouche were

of singers” and
ever. Messrs. Cook of San Bernardino,
Woods of Manual Arts, and Raney of
Santa Ana all put up a heated argu¬
ment with their legs as to which
would he there first at the finish, and
Mr. Paddock was forced
о
run his
hardest for the full 100 yards. Chas.
has a peculiar habit in the 100 of go¬
ing to sleep during the last ten yards
for the reason that he is usually so
far ahead at this part of the race
that he is attacked with a feeling
of lonesomeness and slows up so that
he can once again hobnob with mem¬
bers of the human race.
Chas. Paddock was still in San Ber-
doo when the 220 started and pro¬
ceeded to run that race as the good
people of Berdoo have never seen It
run before. Paddock showed his con¬
tempt for all comers by giving the
rest of the speed demons a loser’s eye
view of a pair of flying heels. Charles
says that the 220 yard dash Is an
awfully hard race; se he only runs a
200 and trots the 20. Although the
Pasadenan seemed to he suffering
from an attack of Insomnia during the
last fifteen or twenty yards of this
race, he easily beat Hendrlxon of
Chino, whom torn* were so foolish
м
the main ones who helped P. H. S.
on to victory. Kenny Saunders lost
his first race of the year when Dean
of Fullerton (U. S. A.) barely heat
him to the tape. Kenny ran a pretty
race, breaking away from the crowd
of runners whose main idea seemed
to stay as close together as possible
and poke each other in the ribs with
their elbows, and catching up to the
leaders on the last stretch. About
ten wards from the finish, he sprint¬
ed ahead and thinking he had first
place cinched, he slowed up. But
right here Dean of the aforemention¬
ed Southern California metropolis
made his presence known by squeez¬
ing in ahead and Kenny discovered
his mistake.
Fouche had trouble In getting his
arm to work right In the discus, but
when he finally did succeed he made
a throw which only Boyle’s record-
smasher could beat. Clovle again
proved to he a master of the weights
by placing fourth In the shot put.
Captain Boh, the high flyer of the
local track men, showed that aero¬
planes and balloons were not the only
inventions made to go up with, by
boosting himself up high enough on
the
епд
of a pole, in the San Berdoo
Centineed on Page Few.
The students of P. H. S. have an ex¬
ceptional opportunity of hearing
many good speakers hilt it is not of¬
ten that they are given a more stirr¬
ing than that delivered by Dr. Willis
Baer in assembly last Wednesday. Dr.
Baer began with a vivid description
of the Prussian Grand Army in its
triumphal march into Berlin at the
close of the campaign of ’71 a scene
which he as a hoy, personally wit¬
nessed. After explaining what this,
the symbol of militarism stood for he
described his visit to Camp Kearney
where he saw the soldiers of Democ¬
racy pass in review and told of the
vastly different impression made
upon him by the American army.
Dr. Baer laid emphasis on the fact
that the comhinel efforts of the civil¬
ian population were essential to back
up the army and win the war. He ad¬
vised all students to continue their
education saying that the high posi¬
tions in both military and civil life
were open to the college trained man.
In closing he made an appeal for vol¬
unteers to march in the Liberty Bond
parade. He asked the entire school
to rise and sing “Over There” as the
student officers had sung it in Camp
Kearny. This request was responded
to with a will.

The big Thrift drive, started a week
ago last Monday, has already brought
great results. All classes are doing
their best to make the most sales,
and as a result of this competition,
Pasadena High has redeemed her¬
self for her poor showing in former
months in buying War Savings
Stamps, and at present is one of the
leading city schools in Thrift Stamp
sales.
In boosting the sale of W. S. S.
the school has been divided into
classes and these in turn consist of
squads. Each class has had represen¬
tatives in the main hall every noon
to sell stamps, and the person who
succeeded in getting by his eagle-eyed
class officers without buying at least
a five cent stamp was either a slacker
or a good runner who was broke.
To date Pasadena’s bright young
freshies have carried off all honors
in the sales. By systematically can¬
vassing every place where they
thought stamps could he sold and by
working hard among their own class,
the freshman have reached the six
hundred dollar mark in sales and so
far are leading all the other classes.
The campaign will last ten weeks
and although the first year men have
a good start, they will have to keep
up their speed in order to remain in
the lead. The different squad leaders
of the Savings Teams are all urging
their followers to make a patriotic
use of their surplus “jits” and judg¬
ing by the results of the first week
of the drive, the P. H. S. students
have at last realized the importance
and value of Government War Sav¬
ings Stamps and are doing their best
to make the campaign a success at
Pasadena High.
A banner has been put up for the
the school in Southern California
which makes the most W. S. S. sales
in proportion to its enrollment, and
P. H. S. being a large and ambitious
institution, It. means that It will take
a great deal of work to sell enough
