PASADENA, CALIFORNIA. PRICE FIVE CEN' DETAILS RECEIVED Of MALE'S DEATH “Fighting Al” Is Awarded French Cross of War and American D. S. C. DIED IN AN ACCIDENT Former Student and Popu¬ lar Fellow Receives Ci¬ tation From France By AL WESSON Particulars concerning the death of Lieutenant Alvin Goodale in Prance have been received from two very re¬ liable sources and the true circum¬ stances surrounding his death have been disclosed for perhaps the first time. Letters from Major N. J. Shupe of this city and statements of Lieut, Weitishek of Los Angeles, who has recently returned from France, tell of the accident in which Lieutenant Goodale met his death. Medals awarded Al for bravery have been re¬ ceived by his parents in Pasadena. He received the Croix de Guerre as a token of Prance’s gratitude and ap¬ preciation of his work, with a citation signed by General Petain, now one of the three great mashals of Prance, and also received the Distinguished Service Cross from the United States Government. , While serving in Prance, Al fought in the battle of the Argonne and in the fighting at St. Mihiel. He was engaged in observation work and in carrying messages and although several times attacked by enemy planes he always succeeded' in driv¬ ing them off and accomplishing just what he started after. It was on Sept. 14, 1918, while carrying messages that his plane had the accident that caused his death. On the day he was killed he wrote a letter to Major Shupe, a Pasadena friend, who was participating in the same battle at that time, and when he left for the errand in which he was killed, he left the letter ready to be mailed. The letter was later mailed by one of Al’s friends to Major Shupe, together with the circum¬ stances of his death. On the day he was killed, Al was flying with Lieutenant Edward Orr, one of the most skillful’ aviators in Prance. He had just taken a mes¬ sage from the front line trenches to the headquarters in the rear and was returning when his machine collided with the cable of a captive balloon. The machine was badly wrecked and fell, but Lieutenant Orr managed to gain control of the plane and fall into a nose dive. When it seemed as though the aviatoys could be saved, the tail of the airplane struck the cable, and the machine became hope¬ lessly beyond control and smashed to the ground. Lieutenant Orr was in¬ stantly killed and Al died three days later, Sept. 17. Al Goodale was one of the most popular and best liked boys who ever attended P. H. S. He was a member of Lieut. "Duffy” Seay’s football team and on the gridiron earned the title of "Fighting Al.” He was well known and greatly admired for his clean, manly, fighting qualities and his way of tearing into the game and doing his best every second with no thought of himself. It was this same manly fighting, disregarding self, that Al showed on the football field that won him glory and honor on the bat¬ tlefields ef France. The citation which accompanied his awarding of the French Croix de Guerre follows. The original citation is in the possession of Al’s parents. The citation as translated from the French with its formal preface is as follows: "Reason for the confirmation of the citation which is to be pro¬ nounced in favor of Lieut. A. C. Goodale of American Escadrille 12, by order of No. 12.028/D (order of the regiment). “A remarkable observer and photographer, has successfully accomplished a large number of missions. July 6, 1918, while on one of these missions Inside the German lines, he was attacked a first time by an enemy patrol, succeeded In repulsing the at¬ tack and in accomplishing his MANY POUNDS OF TINFOIL COLLECTED IN BIG WEEKLY DRIVE 160 Pounds Are Brought in by Stu¬ dents in Salvage Drive for Tinfoil The results of last week’s salvage drive for tinfoil would make a good ad for a chewing gum or milk choco¬ late firm. All the tinfoil collected tipped the scales at 2560 ounces, which is really 160 pounds, but ounces make such an imposing look¬ ing figure.

Elliot Rhodes LEAGUE OE NATIONS DEBATE PROVES Dr. Learned and Dr. Powers Give Thoughtful Talks on League Debate at High School Is Very Interesting and Educational JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY WILL BE EXCITING AFFAIR Big Class Party Will Be Known as Big League Affair War to Be Forgotten When Juniors and Seniors Celebrate More miracles and jolly surprises are being thrust upon the unsuspect¬ ing upper classmen. No longer will pessimistic P. H. S. poets pen mourn¬ ful odes and elegies to the empty seats in the vast auditorium, for the portals of this fascinating place will be open to the third and fourth year classmen tonight. The curious, breathless rumors and varied expostulations concerning the longed-for Junior-Senior Party will he ascertained, and very definite ar¬ rangements will be made. In order to more efficiently and positively put brilliant, original ideas into the some¬ what dulled (from over study) minds of the hard worked student, the inter¬ nationally famous jazz band will play. There will be some readings by the dramatic inclined and perhaps some¬ thing else. . That is a deep, dark secret, however. President “Jerry” Boltinghouse and “Les” Webster emphatically implore and entreat every member to be pres¬ ent because the meeting is of vital importance to each student. So do not wait to ask someone else what happened; their version might not be correct Then, too, there is that insignificant little matter of dues. Ever hear of them? There can be no party with¬ out capital, so rush to the auditorium today at 3:15 with your financial aid The S. O. S. call might not be dis¬ patched again. “The man who gives in when he is wrong,” said the street orator, “is a wise man; but he who gives in when She is right - ” “Married?” said a meek voice in the crowd. It Wasn’t Noah Sunday School Teacher (explaining Biblical story) — “Lot was told to take his wife nd daughters and flee. Now there’s Lot, there’s his wife and there are his daughters a little way behind.” Willie — “Yes, but where is the flea?” “This is no laughing matter,” said Troutman as he dashed off a josh for the Item. mission. In a second combat, he downed one of his adversaries and did not return until he had ac¬ complished his mission inside the German lines at an alitude of 500 meters.” GENERAL PETAIN. P. H. S. will always love and be proud of her “Fighting Al” Goodale. It is not because of the honors and medals he has won. Perhaps they may he forgotten some day. But Al’s supremefi unselfish sacrifice in laying down his life in the cause of democ¬ racy will never be forgotten. By LOREN STOVER The large audience which gathered at the High School last Thursday | night to hear the debate of Lr. L. E. j Learned and H. H. PSwers testified, | both in numbers and applause, to the interest he public is taking in late J events connected with the Peace Con¬ ference. The gathering afforded the speakers an interested and apprecia- I tive audience. Both speakers were popular and handled their discourses jwith lots of snap and ability. Dr. Learned, affirmative and intro¬ duced by Dr. Rhodes, approached his i subject with remarks of humor which j were — very much American via the i Mayflower. The subject of the date was, “Resolved, that the proposal of the Peace Conference for a League of Nations, either the proposal now before us or such other as may be offered, should be adopted in connec¬ tion with the forthcoming Treaty of Peace.” j Dr. Learned debated persuasively and made many clear and direct points, finding his audience at once. He emphasized strongly that this country should stand up with a one- minded support and back the League of Nations, for there is no time to be . wasted on petty selfishness and cranny hunting. Continuing, he men- . tioned the fact that America has been known to the world as a coun¬ try which offered support and free¬ dom, practically and as a principle; we cannot now draw off and leave the rest of the world in its present state for the sake of small selfish gains. He pointed out that it is our duty as a people of democracy to work in unity and о our vital part in helping to build a new peace. Speaking of our reasons for going ahead fearlessly and taking a truly American stand, Dr. Learned said, “The United States has struggled with success in the assimiliation of great bodies of men, and we are not afraid to espouse a cause such as this. The first step is to bring nations to¬ gether and replace battles and slaugh¬ ter by peaceful means. Our way has been overclouded by details and re¬ minded of difficulties, such as other that the other nations will play us false and that America is too young to trust her integrity out of her own hands. We are reminded of the Mon¬ roe Doctrine and the evil which lurks in association with Great Britain. We are afraid to adventure on an untried road.” The speaker made a strong appeal that we should forget small party en¬ mities and feelings such as have arisen and now may still undermine the world-wide benefit which would be forthcoming from such a contract as our President and other great statesmen are endeavoring to bring into being. In giving the floor to the negative speaker, Dr. Learned said, “Let us give up the Monroe Doctrine if nec¬ essary, and go into the far corners and make freedom for all the world as we enjoy in the United States.” Dr. Powers, introduced by Dr. Scherer, handled the negative with ability and made many powerful statements. He began by first di¬ viding the question of debate into two parts: (1) “Whether the constitu¬ tion of the league should be incor¬ porated in the peace treaty,” and (2) “whether the present one, or one to replace it, now or hereafter, should receive consideration.” He held that the treaty and the league itself should be separated. I Dr. Powers made the statement that the league constitution was a rider, and could in reality be classed with crooked legislation. He further stated that the nations have waited too long, and that the delay has allowed Germany to slip through the fingers of her captors. * ‘If Germany,” said the speaker, “had been asked to sign on January 1, she would have done so and asked no questions. Now we are told that the terms of peace have 'all been reopened again and reversed, ALHAMBRA DELEGATES LOOK OVER P. H. S. UNIFORMS Pasadena High Is Again the Mecca for Uniform Experimenters When Delegates Come MONTHLY ITEM WILL BE ON SALE SOON; BUY YOURS EARLY Last week, the superintendent, prin¬ cipal, and vice-principal of Alhambra came to P. H. S. to see If the uni¬ forms were as good-looking as they reported to be. Miss Clarke piloted this delegation about the halls and campus. When these groups come, all the students begin to straighten ties, ubtton up coats, and generally try to make a good impression. Various students were questioned as to their opinions of the uniform dress, and the pros and cons were fully discussed. Pasadena will he in¬ terested to see whether Alhambra High adopts uniforms also. COLLEGE ENTRANCE I Examinations Under Col¬ lege Entrance Examina¬ tions Board in June Applications and Fees Must Be Sent in Soon; Mr. Clif¬ ton to Aid Students Those pupils who are planning to take examinations this year for en¬ trance to college, particularly those entering eastern colleges, should note that the examinations, under the col¬ lege entrance examination board, will be given in Los Angeles June 16-21.

Kenny Fuessle writes blood and thunder tales from France, while Parker Lyon writes, calmly that the girls in Australia adore the U. S. uniforms. Girls, buy to read of the conceit of mankind. RUSSELL ! SEVENTH — Because you should not depend solely on the Chronicle for news of track heroes, and swim¬ ming experts. Al Wesson, who is more capable than anyone else because of his experiences penned a lament to the football team that was (again we bring offerings to the flu- shrine) and has praised each and every person individually and collec¬ tively who has gone out for athletics.

We have already lost the fruits of vic¬ tory. We regret to say we no longer know what the terms of peace will be.” Dr. Powers went on to say that now since we have waited at all, we must continue to wait longer if we appreciate the delicacy of the present situation. It is dangerously uncer¬ tain, and the importance is too criti¬ cal to risk a hurried compact. We cannot afford error, especially when the rights of all the powers, great and werk, are to be appraised and given their place. He went on to state and endeavored to prove that there are many elements of greed and deception in the policies of great powers and well known world leaders at the present time. Speaking of the executive council he declared, “We have no reason to believe that the big five in the execu¬ tive council will long hold together.” However, he continued to say later, that one of the grand outcomes of the war is the feeling of kinship which has grown between England, France, and America, and that by no means should that same be allowed to be- mome, if possible, anything but stronger and finer as time passes. Returning in the affirmative rebut¬ tal, Dr. Learned said that if the League of Nations does not material¬ ize, and soon, the nations of the world which are now at the verge of Bolshevism will be plunged into the chaos that Russia wriths beneath to¬ day. The world must come together in a league, of the people, by the people, and for the people, if what the spirit of democracy has so far accomplished, is not to perish from the earth. ANNUAL CONVENTION IF GIRLS’ LEAGUES IN LOSANGELES L. A. High Is Host to Dele¬ gates on April 25 and 26 Girls Urged to Attend Meet¬ ing of Convention in L. A. The annual Southern California Girls’ League Convention is really go¬ ing to be held this year. This is no fairy tale or mere rumor but a known fact because the invitation asking Pasadena to participate has been re¬ ceived. Los Angeles High School is the hostess this year and the dates are April 25 and 26, Friday and Sat¬ urday. Because of the large number of delegates, each school is asked to send only two besides a faculty ad¬ visor, but all girls are welcomed to the meetings. It is hoped that a large number of girls will be interested enough in the work of the league to go over to Los Angeles on Saturday morning and attend the business meeting. At this meeting all the dif¬ ferent schools have speakers telling of the work done in their school and many are the interesting ideas gath¬ ered together. Besides, here is a dandy chance to see Los Angeles High School’s new building. Last year, at Santa Monica, Pasadena had the largest delegation of any school rep¬ resented at the Saturday morning business meeting. So, get a bunch together and go over to Los Angeles on April 26 and let them know that it makes no difference to Pasadena whether the convention is held in the spring or in the fall. EASTER P№ CM) TOHOIM FOR KIDDIES Girls’ League to Give Big Party for Mexican Children Tomorrow Students Asked to Bring Gifts and Food for Big Girls’ League Party A Scrap of Paper “My sister’s feller kicked my dog, but I’ll get even with him alright,” said Helen Brown. “How’ll you get even?” asked her friend. “I’m goin’ to mix quinine with my sister’s lip rouge,” said Helen. Tomorrow the Girls’ League plans, which have been heard faintly peep¬ ing and scratching up in 211C, are due to hatch out in the form of a fluffy, yellow Easter Party for seven¬ ty-five little Mexican children of the Raymond avenue school. The little tan kiddies will arrive at the mystic hour of 12:30 p. m., and play games on the front lawn before the envious gaze of those who think they are too old and dignified to get down and romp. When the children have reached the stage which most people reach about noon, they will have that which most ueople get about noon — lunch. Not a common lunch such as is seen daily about the grounds, coming piece by piece from a paper sack; but a party lunch. Then the Easter toys which It is hoped will be brought by the grown¬ up students of this institution, are to be given to the by this time satisfied chicks and they will motor back to their casas. On account of the lowness of funds, the Girls’ League asks the students to bring cakes or candies for the party. Those who can help in this way are asked to notify Esther Brown before Friday morning. “As the Freshies Understand YEtem” He played a malady of the piano. He is a citron. The woman was a tremor.
