After winning the City League and
Southern California Title Cups, this
week Pasadena will send some of her
crack cinderpath experts up to Sacra¬
mento to compete in the annual prep
school state track and field champion¬
ships with orders to bring hack an¬
other decoration for the Student Body
room. Seven or possibly eight men
will leave Thursday evening to per¬
form in Saturday’s meet, and keep up
Pasadena High’s unbroken line of vic¬
tories by bringing home the first state jj
track’ championship for P. H. S,
Charley Paddock will have a strenu- !
ous day at the meet, as he will have '
to run six races. Chas. is entered in
the 100, 200, and relay, will have to j
run heats in each event. Paddock has ’
run six ten flat hundreds so far this j
year and is conceded first place in *
both sprints With Charles also run- !
ning the relay, Pasadena should place j
easily in that event.
“Seldom-Fed” “Two-Flat” Kenny, !
etc., Saunders is scheduled to give an
exhibition on how to annihilate a per¬
fectly good 880 record. Kenny recent¬
ly rah in the A. A. II., championships
and finished third against a field of
fast college runners. Although his
time was not officially taken, it was
probably between 2:2 and 2:4, which
is enough to make any of his compet¬
itors in the state meet howl for help.
As far as has been learned, the
time for the half mile in the Central
and Northern Cal. meets has been
considerably slower than Saunders’
best, and probably his only real rival
will be Dean of Fullerton who barely
beat him in the Southern Cal. cham¬
pionships. However, the gentleman
from Fullerton, Cal. will certainly
have to step some to repeat, for Ken¬
ny is getting faster every day, and if
he draws a good lane in the race, Mr.
Dean will be lucky to be in sight at
the finish.
In the broad jump and pole vault,
Bob Shlaudeman will attempt to pull
down a few more digits for P. H. S.
To date Bob has pulled off about six¬
teen surprises in those events by win¬
ning places in meets when according
to the dope he had no right to do so.
In the City meet, he pole vaulted six
inches higher than he had ever done
before, and in the broad jump in the
Southern Cal., he sailed over about
six inches of Mother Earth farther
than the P. H. S. fans had had the
pleasure of seeing him make.
As Bob has not yet conquered his
habit of bettering his marks in every
meet, it is hard to say just how much
farther he will go. At any rate, the
P. H. S. captain will have his oppo¬
nents in a nervous -frame of mind,
and experts say that psychology is a
great thing, especially in a contest
like the state meet.
Last Thursday Fouche tossed the
discus a mere matter of 125 feet. If
Clovie can repeat Thursday’s stunt on
Saturday, it will mean that for once
J. Boyle of L. A. High will not run
away with all the honors in heaving
the saucer. Boyle has beaten Fouche
twice, and the Pasadenan will have
his chance for revenge in the state
contest.
Fouche i« also entered in the shot
put and stands an excellent chance of
SOPHS WILL BRING
ORPHEUS SINGERS
TO PASADENA HIGH
Orpheus Club Will Sing In P. H. S. Auditorium Under
Auspices of Sophomore Class On
Next Friday Night
With all the finishing touches suf¬
ficiently touched, final arrangements
completed, and the usual last minute
confusion smoothed over, the long-
heralded Orpheus Club concert is th<
event of the hour. The Sophs have
chosen a fitting day for the occasion
as Friday is Liberty Day throughout
the United States. Special emphasis
is to he laid on the Liberty Loan
drive on that date by order of the
President. P. H. S. students will have
a chance to celebrate by attending
the concert.
There is small doubt' in the
minds of the .management about the
crowds on the evening of the 26th
on account of the generous support
given by the business men and sock
ety folk of the city
If the auditorium is proper-ly filled
for the entertainment, the Liberty
Bond which is to he bought with the
proceeds will give Pasadena a good
lead in the Liberty Bond Contest in
the Southern Caliofrnia schools. The

been sadly neglected until the gift
of an anonimous person swelled the
total, altho now it is very much in
need of money. Provided the need is
great, the Bond will be sold when
the occasion justifies.
The program is to be one of merit
and will he varied and snappy. There
will be some real “high brow” stuff
as well as the humorous stunts which
make the club famous.

From this lineup of talent, the stu¬
dents of P. H. S. and others interest¬
ed may rest asured of an interesting
and entertaining and at the same time
a patriotic and philanthropic even¬
ing. Those wishing accommodations

LOW COLLARS FOR UNIFORMS
ALLENTOWN, PA: The. Govern¬
ment is planning to make several
changes In the uniforms of the army
officers and enlisted men. The high
collar will be changed to the low roll¬
ing collar of the British type. It has
been found to hinder the fighting man
and also makes his throat sensative
to colds; thus the government action
which will go into effect within a
couple of weeks.
placing in that event.
Lee will he on hand to do a little
aviating in the high jump. Lee is an¬
other Pasadena star who Improves
in every meet and is expected to win
a few more points for the locals.
As there are a great many schools
entered in the meet, the points will
be widely distributed an<j twenty or
twenty-one points will probably win
the championship. This being the case
gives P. H. S. a very good chance to
come out on top.
A conservative estimate of Pasa¬
dena’s points is as follows: Paddock,
10; Saunders, 3; Fouche and Shlaude¬
man, 6; Lee, 1; relay, 2. The total
is 22. If every man performs up to
past records, Pasadena Is practically
certain of these points and very prob¬
ably more.
However, the advantage some of the
northern and central high schools
have In being able to send more men
may prove enough to cop the title.
The failure of any of Pasadena’s
hopes to place may prove fatal; so
the dope must not he relied upon too
much. A any rate the meet will be
close, and the P. H. S. team will cer¬
tainly make things Interesting.
SENIORS SETTLE
FLOWER QUESTION
AT BIG MEETING
If the Seniors have one thing
to be thankful for; that one thing
is the settling of the much hash¬
ed subject which pertains to com¬
mencement flowers. Many had
thought that the question had
been settled; the Seniors will not
have graduation flowers from out¬
side sources.
But the stage will still be heap¬
ed with flowers since a commit¬
tee of girls will see to it that all
the flowers that bloom in people’s
back yards are contributed to the
high school and divided into
three boquets for each senior. In
this way the stage will still be
beautifully decked with the best
of flowers and at no expense or
trouble Some way will be plan¬
ned by which the Red Cross will
get the benefit of this money.
Here’s to the class of 1918; they
certainly have responded to the
cause of thrift.
In the Valley Section Meet of
the
С.
I. F. held at Fresno, Apr.
6, Fresno High School took the
Valley championship with 40
points, Bakersfield coming in sec¬
ond with 32 points. Fifteen schools

ley, Fowler, Dinuba, Riverdale,

THRIFT CAMPAIGN
School Passes $6000 Mark After Three Weeks’ Work;
■Sm 1^9 Fourth Year Men Pass Freshies as
to*. Competition Increases.
The third week of the big P. H. S. Thrift Campaign has brought in
over six thousand dollars. The feature of the week’s work was the
drifting of the freshmen into second place in the interclass compe¬
tition. The seniors continued their consistent work and passed the
leading freshies during the latter part of last week. The Sophomores
speeded up on Monday and are beginning to pick up on the Juniors.
The first year babes have worked hard, but the fast pace set by the
sedate seniors was too much. However, but a small margin separates
the two leading classes, and as the freshmen may jump back into the
lead any day, the seniors will have to continue the good work to
keep ahead.
The drive so far has been a tre¬
mendous success. Pasadena High has
at last awakened and put herself up
among the leading schools of the
country in the sales of Thrift and W.
S. S. stamps. All classes are doing
their best to show their patriotism,
and as a result, the Thrift sales have
been steadily and rapidly increasing.
The management of the campaign
is under the supervision of Mr. An¬
derson and the Finance Department.
Stamps are checked out daily to the
different salesmen of the classes and
are checked in every morning. The
system has been working very effi¬
ciently and a great deal of the credit

FACULTY MEMBER
HURT IN ACCIDENT
In assembly last Thursday the Stu¬
dent Body was addressed by Princi¬
pal Wilson. In his speech Mr. Wil¬
son emphasized the necessity of each
pupil’s having a definite aim in going
to high school . He said that every
boy or girl should realize that they
had some other reason than parental
pressure for getting an education and
that this realization should give them
a more serious aspect to their school
life. He urged that the few “slackers”
who were clogging up the executive
staff by their tardiness and absences,
reform and leave the office force free
for more important work. Mr. Wilson
j said that only 8 1-10% of the students
in P. H. S. were failing in any subject
i and that this percentage was consid-
! erably lower than that of any of the
neighboring high schools.
Mr. Wilson announced that regular
military training would be adopted
next year and that uniforms would
be worn by both girls and boys. At
the suggestion of the Principal, the
Student Body toot a vote on joining,
as a school, the Junior Red Cross.
This action not only makes Pasadena
High a member of the Junior Red
Cross but an auxiliary branch of the
Red Cross. .
While attending a state conference
of social agencies held at Santa Bar¬
bara last week, Miss Neal, a well-
known member of the P. H. S. faculty,
was painfully injured in an automobile
accident. The machine in which she
was riding slid down a twenty-foot
embankment, bruising her and injur¬
ing her internally.
Miss Neal was brought hack to Pas¬
adena Saturday. It is possible that her
injuries may not prove v'ery serious.
BEACH HAS BOND RECORD
LONG BEACH: In the first day of
the drive over $1,000 worth of orders
for “Kaiser-Killers” were taken in.
It is estimated that the pupils of the
high school have bought $30,000 of the
Government bonds.
CHRONICLE ANNUAL
MUST HAVE AT LEAST
900 SUBSCRIBERS SOON
Apparently there is a mls-unde
standing concerning the Chronic
Annual. Since the discussion aboi
giving up the Annual many persoi
believe that if the nine hundred (90(
mark is not reached, their dollar wi
not be returned but instead will 1
used for some patriotic purpose. Th
is a great mistake and is only hlnde
ing the publication. In case P. H.
has not the school spirit to suppo
this activity the money will be r
turned to each individual perso
Here’s hoping that P. H. S. will, :
the remaining days, buy the necess
ry amount of Annual tickets.
