Morgan, instructor. Placement at the end of the sec¬ ond stage of the match found Pasa- dent in sixth place, according to word received from headquarters in San Francisco.

Announcement concern¬ ing prize-winners and poems win¬ ning placement in the book will not be issued until the volume is pub¬ lished. Clyde Brown, of the “Abbey of San Emcinto,” Highland Park, has been awarded the bid for printing “First the Blade,” which will be published early in May. An un¬ usual cover design has been planned, according to the editors. For those who have not yet or¬ dered a copy of the publication, a few subscription blanks are still obtainable from Miss Harriet Mc¬ Clay, faculty adviser. - -f - Miss Catherine J. Robbins, dean of women, and Mr. Russell M. Guthridge, acting faculty adviser for the freshman class, sponsored tlhe frosh dance last Friday. Chosen by the Pasadena Horti¬ cultural society on Wednesday as “La Reina de las Flores” for the exhibition this spring, Louise Bonds, a Sophomore here and one of Hie former reigning trio, was informed Thursday that instead of having one queen, pictures of the three girls would be used to adver¬ tise the event. For the first time since the or¬ ganization of the Flower Show, a sceptre will not dominate the ex¬ hibit; democracy has triumphed, and the “Modern Lady Jane Gary” of English History will lend her services and photograph as one of the three publicity assistants in¬ stead of as “Her Majesty.” Is Not Final According to authoritative sources, however, this decision to banish the monarch is not a final one, and the next flower exhibition may proceed under the rule of a new Queen. P. J. C. will not lose her usual publicity because of this change, since national photo-services will continue to advertise the junior college as the perennial source of beauty, if not of queens, for these affairs. Officiating at the opening yes¬ terday were heads of the Tourna¬ ment of Roses Association and Pas¬ adena Chamber of Commerce, and officials of the California Tenth Olympiad Committee. - + - S. W. French Leads Chemistry Practice Answering perplexing questions brought up during the preparation of students for the annual chemis¬ try contest May 21, S. W.

Josten, instructor-captain of the team. The team will have two alter¬ nates, one accompanying the group, the other being reserved in case of accident. Next Tuesday S. R. Stan- bury, aviator instructor, will speak on “Aviation’s Use of Chemistry’- in 100-E. Pomona college will be the scene of the contest. Chronicle club items should be turned in Thursday of the week previous to publication. ( Economic Problems ’ to Be Talk Topic of Earl D.

Davis of Pasadena junior college will conclude the series “Economic Problems of a Changing* World,” with an address on “Credit Structure and Banking Policy.” This lecture, first scheduled for last night, is to begin at 7:30 p. m. in the music hall. “He won’t start another revolu- j tion, but he will help you know what’s what in the economic revo¬ lution that is going on at the pres¬ ent time,” asserts Roscoe Lewis Ashley, head of the 'social science department. LOUISE BONDS Who Reingned Until Announcement That Her Picture Would Be Used To Publicise Spring Blossom Exposition Queen Just for a Day Scholarship Group Organizes Needed Bureau of Information Fulfilling a long-desired need in the junior college, Alpha Gamma Sigma, upper division scholastic 'society, has organized an information bureau under the supervision of Henry Sievers Jr. An Alpha member is on duty every period in the office ; of Miss Doris Northrup, secretary to John W.
