Early Easter morning, Sunday, April 21, one of the first Easter
Sunrise Services in Pasadena’s history will be held in the famed
Rose Bowl. The program, beginning at 5:00 a. m., will feature the
presentation of an original Easter story and the playing and singing
of appropriate musical selections.
In addition to the traditional Easter theme, the underlying vein
of the program will be a memorial to those whose lives were lost
in World War II, and a solemn dedication on this, the first Easter
of peace. This aim will be carried out by a message, around which the
service is based, written by Katharine Kester of the PJC drama
department. The message, inspired by Cardinal Spellman’s The Risen
Soldier, unites the three themes, resurrection, peace and memorial
and is to be narrated by Mr. Nathan Hale, noted author and play
wright, Gordon Spaulding, of Pasadena Playhouse fame, and Joella
Anderson, PJC student.
Spencer Tracy to Read Scripture
As a part of the message, the scripture and a special poem will

be read by Mr. Spencer Tracy, honorary OMD member and father of
a PJC boy.
Musical selections for the program will be presented by the com¬
bined vocal organizations of Pasadena Junior College under the
direction of H. Leland Green, and the Sunrise Choir, a combination
of the civic chorus and many church choirs, under the direction
of Dr. Richard Lert.
Featured as vocalist will be Miss Betty Jaynes, former operatic
star, whose selections are to be Bach Gounod’s Ave Maria and I
Know That My Redeemer Liveth.
City Board Sponsors PJC Project
Sponsored by the City Board of Directors, the sunrise service
has been entirely planned and arranged by PJC students and faculty

To aid Miss Zytormirska in col¬
lecting funds, the SCA’s week-
long drive, from May 1 to May
8, will be a “rocket race to Po¬
land.” Clubs on campus have
been asked to nominate their own
“pilot” and back him in his
flight, each five cent ticket send-
him five more miles. A large dis¬
play in the main hall will show
each flyer’s progress on a world
map. After “grounding” the
slowest flyers during the first
three days, the voting will con¬
tinue until a complete blackout
Wednesday noon. At this time
there will be a show in the aud¬
itorium, with cartoons and short
subjects.
The only requirements for a
man student to be a “pilot,” is
that he be passing in all his class¬
es, and that he turn in an entry
blank and a snapshot of himself
to the SCA office, 25C, by April
26.
The name of the winning “ace”
will be announced at the OMD
Festival, when there will be a
joint coronation with the queen
elected in the OMD drive.

old yellow and purple argyles or
any other bright socks. Men have
been requested to shave their
beards and to resume speaking to
the female contingent of the
school before attending the dance.
Such scenes as this will take place tonight in the “ice box”
gym when contestants in all weight divisions will battle for the
golden gloves championship. Admission for students will be 50
cents; general admission, $1.10 and reserved seats, $1.25.
