Shakespeare Clubhouse will be Scene of Affair In accordance with an ancient rite, the juniors will en¬ tertain the seniors by sponsoring the junior-senior party, which will be held this year in the Shakespeare Clubhouse, j Saturday evening, April 25, at 8 o’clock. That this party j will be a success, is assured by the fact that Merle Waterman, j well-known comedian, will be included in a program which promises to be both interesting and varied. The management of the party is in the hands of Ouina Lisk, vice-president of the junior class, who, with her com¬ mittee, is working hard to provide plenty of merriment and refreshments for the upper class- | — men. The program will consist of humorous selections by Merle Wat¬ erman, harp music by Elizabeth Cover, vocal selections by Don No¬ vis, and violin music by Horace Ramey. After the program, re¬ freshments will be served. The decorations will be fantas¬ tically carried out in purple and white, the senior class colors, and win add greatly to the gayety of the affair. In order to put plenty of enthu¬ siasm and life into the party from start to finish, Art Mohs’s orches¬ tra will furnish jazz music at odd moments. The junior-senior party last year was held out-of-doors on the Maryland Hotel grounds. Either a junior or a senior mem¬ bership card will be required for admittance, and members of both classes are urged to come.

Robert McClintock John McClintock Ш1 OF Ю10 HEM PROMISES NELSON, KIT “TAMING OF SHREW” PART OF ONE CONTESTANT _ “Your father hath consented that you shall be my wife, and will you, nil you, I will marry you.” So spake Petruchio in “The Tam¬ ing of the Shrew”, and so on Sat. April 25, at 9:45 A. M., in the Community Playhouse, Smith Daw¬ less will repeat these lines in the Shakespearean Declamation Con¬ test of Southern California. This is the second time that the contest, put on by the Oral Arts Association of Southern California, has been held in Pasadena, and the local teachers hope that Pasadena, will become the regular meeting place of the Association. Louise Brown, the other Pasa¬ dena contestant, will give .Cord¬ elia’s scene at the bedside of her Two more chances for P. H. S. orators will be offered during the coining month of . May. The Red¬ lands Declamation and the Nelson Oratorical Contest are the two events. The Redlands Declamation try¬ outs will be held April 30, and the P. H. S. finals will be early in May. The winner will then go to the University of Redlands to compete for the cup that is offer¬ ed as the first prize. P. H. S. has won the trophy twice during the last five years, and one more win will give it to her permanently. The Nelson contest is a new ev¬ ent for this year. The late G. A. Nelson endowed it with the provi¬ sion that the speeches be on some phase of civic life. Consequently, this year’s contest will be on the general subject, “Civic Better¬ ment.” The prizes will be $40 for the winner, and $20 as second prize. MOD IS HELD BIG FEATURES M With a pair of twin brothers slashing their opponents from Inglewood to bits, and an audience giving cheer after cheer for the local debaters, the Pasadena team is certain to pave a way for a repetition of the performance of the team of 1921 and win another Southern California championship. John and Robert McClintock, local twin-brother de¬ baters, will take the affirmative side of the question, Re¬ solved: That the Inter-Allied War Debts should be Can¬ celled. The debate starts at 8 o’clock tomorrow night in the McKinley Junior High School auditorium, which is located - j on the corner of Center and Oak father, King Lear. These two students were chosen by four judges, E. T. Morressey, W. M. Kohner, Leon Yakeley, and Miss Emma Holloway, after an ex¬ ceptionally close tryout in which nine took part. As the contest is for the purpose о f broadening the student’s acquaintance with Shakespeare, and as the selections are rather un¬ known, it is hoped that many people, young and old, will enjoy the good acting. Going t о watch the fighting McClintock brothers Friday night? BASEBALL! Listen gang! — a little inside dope— San Diego is com¬ ing up here tomorrow with a deep thirst for blood. She is out for a championship in baseball. More dope — so are we ! This means WAR ! ! You all saw the Whittier game, and so you all know that our gang has the ability to put up a hard, fast fight. So has the San Diego bunch. Sure, it’ll be a snappy con¬ test from the first at bat to the last man out. We’ll guarantee that. Last fall, when our football team went to San Diego, the stands were full of rooters, and even a special Pasa¬ dena section was filled by S. D. fans. That was “Blue and White” School Spirit. Can’t we equal that? All right, then! EVERYBODY out on Horrell Field at 3:30 tomorrow! Student Body cards are good, and all S. B. members are expected to be there. Be sure to bring the card and to root for the team. The auitorium of the John Muir Junior High School rang with the school song and yells Tuesday af¬ ternoon, when graduates of that school gathered in celebration of the birthday of the man for whom the school was named. The re¬ union of the former students was held in connection with the birth¬ day celebration which is held by the students of the school every year. A capacity audience filled the auditorium, when at 3:30, Pauline Fuller, commissioner of publicity and in charge of the pro¬ gram, called the meeting to order. While late-comers were being seat¬ ed, the school orchestra, under the direction of Milton C. Mohs, play¬ ed, after which the school song was sung and the salute was given. A few words of welcome were giv¬ en by Miss Fuller, who then intro¬ duced Principal Rufus Mead, who gave one of his customary “little talks.” Many humorous remem¬ brances were mentioned by Mr. Mead, who also said that he could not forget certain students, hut he generously added that he did not want to forget most of the grad¬ uates. In response to Mr. Mead’s wel¬ come, Charles Dickerman, former student of John Muir, responded, saying that it seemed good to get back, and that he was proud to say that the graduates always helped to cooperate with students and teachers at P. H. S. The next feature of the program was a selection by the school orchestra which played “Moonlight on the Nile.” The main feature of the after¬ noon’s prograih was, however, the cantata, “The Building of the Ship” by the combined glee clubs. It was directed by Miss Mabel M. Oakes, to whom great credit is due for the day’s success. Miss Altiee Miller did exceptionally fine work as ac¬ companist. At the close of the cantata Mr. Mead again appeared on the pro¬ gram, but this time his speech was of a different nature, — “perhaps more pleasing to some.” At the bottom of both stairways, according to Mr. Mead, refresh¬ ments were to be served. A cer¬ tain Bulldog pugnacity on the part of the P. H. S. students, due per¬ haps to the thought of the next day’s intensive eating, probably prompted Mr. Mead to request that the halls not be blocked with paper cups. Parents and friends were enter¬ tained from 1:00 to 2:00 by the Music department, and the 7th and 8th grades enjoyed a splendid talk by an old friend of the natur¬ alist, John Muir. Dr. S. Hall Here are a few attractions offer¬ ed in the next Item which will come out during the first week in May. “The Winning of a Name,” an Indian story woven about an old legend; “The Arrowhead Spring” and “The Rain Ceremony of the Hopi Indians” are both In¬ dian legends of an unusual char- achter ; an illustrated story of Crater Lake National Park; three concerning the profession of For¬ estry and lumbering that contain interesting and informing articles; many illustrations; a cross-word puzzle; an athletic section; and — that isn’t half of it either. How’s that! It only costs 15 cents too, which is really cheap for a high school magazine when the cost of paper, ink, and work is counted. Last Monday practically all the advisories were visited in order to get subscriptions for the Item. It can not be published until the exact number of copies wanted is ascer¬ tained; therefore, if anyone wants a copy, but has not signed up yet, he is asked to hand his name in to his advisory teacher. The advisory teachers are asked to have any such names sent to the Chronicle office with the room number and advisory period attached. 1AM FESTIVAL TO BE HELD MAY 1 One thousand girls are expected to attend the annual Mayday Fes¬ tival on the front lawn at 3:30, Friday, May 1. As the plans have been in progress for a year, and as many departments of P. H. S. are working diligently in prepar¬ ation for the festival, the 146 girls who are preparing the pro¬ gram are confident that the event will be a grand climax for the Girls’ League activities of the year. A committee is now working on the favors, which will he the means of admittance to the festi¬ val, and which will be sold Friday morning, May 1 for 15 cents. One of the secrets of the party is that there is to be a May- Queen. Who she is has not yet been announced. This festival will be the last of a series of four which the Girls’ League has sponsored this year for. the purpose of promoting friendly relations among the girls of the school. Daughter III Mrs. Brennen’s small daughter, Betty Brennen, is very ill. Betty had just recovered from bronchi¬ tis when she was taken ill with a severe earache which developed in¬ to a mastoid. She is better now, although not recovering as rapidly as it was hoped she would. GIRLS’ NOVICE MEET HELD LAST THURSDAY Knoll. Bob took part in the last debate with Los Angeles High, while John has served as alternate in the last two debates. The first debate of the season, with Hollywood, was a 3 to 2 defeat for Pasadena. The L. A. debate was a 3 to 0 victory for the locals. At present Pasa¬ dena is tied with Inglewood with 9 points apiece. Coach Canfield has worked with the team long and carefully and is expectant of a victory. Don Ham¬ blin, Commissioner of Debating, hopes that a large number of stu- 1 dents come out for the debate. It is hoped that the fact that the : debate is being staged in the Mc¬ Kinley school auditorium will not make any difference to the possi¬ ble turnout. Don has secured Dr. John Riedel, I tenor soloist at the All Saints Episcopal Church and former grand opera singer, to sing a few numbers. The judges' of the contest are i representative men. They are Dr. Rockwell Hunt, U. S. C., author of .“California the Golden”; Judge ! Craig', U. S. C. Law School ; and Judge J. P. Wood, Los Angeles courts. Of the twelve schools in the ! league, six have a chance for the finals, Hollywood with 12 points ; j Compton, 12; Pasadena, 9; Uni¬ versity High, 11; Inglewood, 9; land Glendale, 10%. GIRLS’ LEAGUE WINS Eating about 25 per cent more food than the boys did, the girls of Pasadena High School proved themelves more capable of consuming food than was expected by the student body. The net returns of Caf¬ eteria Day amounted to $460. The cafeteria was over¬ crowded during first advisory, the total returns being $261.75. As all returns over $300 went to offset the deficit that has occurred, $160 was used for this purpose. Wally Fell’s orchestra played admirably throughout the noon hour. Young, now over seventy years of age, gave an interesting account of his life with John Muir in the high Sierras and among the gla¬ ciers. Dr. Young was a mission¬ ary to Africa for forty-seven years. That there was an extra large turn-out for the Girls’ Novice Swimming Meet held Thursday afternoon, is demonstrated by the fact that 21 girls turned out for the crawl for form. Of the new matei-ial, Gloria Gartz, Maurine Scott, and Jeanne Sullivan took first, second, and third places, respectively, in the meet. Those of last year’s team members placing were: Sarah Schwartz, first; Ethel Nichols, sec¬ ond ; and • Katherine Kuhn, third. Class honors went to the Sopho¬ mores, who secured 43% points.
