Association Lays Plans For Tenth Homecoming
Band To
Perform
At Civic
Seventh Annual Concert
To Be Played For
Association
PART OF AFFAIR
Varied Program Will Be
Presented By Group
At Auditorium
Presenting its seventh annual
‘Homecoming” concert, the Pasa¬
dena junior college Bulldog band,
under the direction of Audre L.
Stong, will play for the alumni
festivities, Saturday, May 9, at
8:15, in the Civic auditorium. This
program is a part of the homecom¬
ing affair, which begins with the
annual banquet at the Masonic
Temple.
The entire musical aggregation
will present a varied program, af¬
ter the introduction by E. 0. Nay,
of the Pasadena city board of di¬
rectors. The first number is to be
the “Finale from Symphony in F
Minor, Number 4,” by Tschaikow-
sky. Arrangements of old time
tunes, by Lake, will constitute the
second piece on the program.
Arrange Works
Huenenberg’s “Triplets of the
Finest Cornet Trio,” will follow as
the third feature. An arrangment
of the best known works of Ste¬
phen Foster, America’s composer
of folk music, will next be pre¬
sented. Following the Foster num¬
ber the fourth of a series of works
known as the “History of the U.
S.,” told in music, will be played.
This episode begins with the arm¬
istice days of the World War, and
carries through to the present day
with the playing of the finale of
Newman’s “Street Scene.”
Three different numbers will be
played on the sixth part of the
program. Grieg’s “Intermezzo,”
from the “Sigford Jorsolfar Suite,”
is to be the first, while Rimsky-
Korsokoff’s “Dance of the Buf¬
foons,” and Horlic’s “Two Guitars”
are the other two. Three different
types'of guitar, from northern, cen¬
tral and southern Europe will be
represented in the latter.
Play Ballads
“Cowboy Croons,” an arrange¬
ment of the most popular cowboy
songs, will follow, and Alter’s
“Manhattan Serendae” will come
eighth on the program. Three nov¬
elties, the girls’ trio, accordians
and the harp are on the program
as diversion from the usual proce¬
dure.
The last number will feature
“Flags of California.” This is an
impression of the countries whose
flags have been unfurled over the
State of California since the dis¬
covery of America.
The Bulldog band has been active
for the past year, playing at all the
football games in which the junior
college has participated. On the
program this year they have sev¬
eral concerts in outlying communi¬
ties, including the annual engage¬
ment with the Tournament of
Roses.
The annual homecoming concert
is the large event on the schedule
for the entire year, and at this
time the band prepares for its
best performance. Several of the
numbers are novelties, and it is by
these, that the aggregation has
become recognized throughout the
United States.
First Meeting Of Alumni
Staged In Year Of 1927
Beginning in 1927, the first meeting of the Alumni association was
held at the Maryland hotel for the purpose of organization. At this
time a banquet was held, over which Willard Wilson presided as

election of officers was held in 1929
at the Constance hotel with Don
Morris as toastmaster. Speeches
and an original chalk talk on “Bal¬
boa” by Neal Batterson were the
program for the evening.
With Doris Cook Johnston as
| toastmistress, the fourth meeting
was held in 1930 in the cafeteria ol
the Pasadena junior college. Greet-
i ings were given by the faculty,
“Babe” Horrell talked about the
“old days” and Arthur McCullough
sang several songs at this meeting.
The fifth annual meeting substi¬
tuted a program of entertainment
for the customary banquet. Elva
Lois Kellogg led the group in
singing and Raymond Kendall gave
a piano solo. Harold Novis sang
at this meeting also. Rupert H.
Fish, member of the Pasadena high
school class of 1888, spoke.
A banquet was held for the an¬
nual meeting of 1932 at the junior

Alumnus Aid
Necessity Says
School Head
To the Alumni:
With the reconstruction of
our buildings a great new day
is about to dawn for Pasadena
junior college. In the realization
of our ambitions we need the
support of every alumnus — both
of the upper and lower division.
Space in this column does not
permit a detailed outline of our
plans. Suffice to say that they
mean nothing less than the de¬
velopment of our alma mater
into the greatest cultural influ¬
ence in our city — a great com¬
munity college which will touch
vitally the lives of young and
old alike.
It is our plan to make the
alumni banquet this spring the
greatest in our history. At that
time a complete statement will
be made of our aspirations and
our plans. Let’s have an atten¬
dance of all the old grads within
a radius of one hundred miles
of Pasadena.
JOHN W. HARBESON,
Principal.

Alumni End
Offering as a welcome message
to the some three hundred alumni
who return to Pasadena junior
college, May 9, for the tenth
annual “Homecoming.” Alumni
President Don Milliken expresses
in the following letter a note of
extreme optimism as regards the
future of the organization.
“As the time rolls around for the
tenth annual junior college Alumni
banquet, we take great pride in
■this year’s program. In cooperation
with the Bulldog band, we have
planned a full evening’s entertain¬
ment for all alumni. This year we
hope to see many faces that we
have not seen at the banquets of
previous years.
“In the coming years Pasadena
junior college will have an Alumni
association that will be a credit
to the institution and the commu¬
nity. Next year, by means of pub¬
licity and personal contact, we shall
mould the association into a unit
of power that will have a voice
in the development of Pasadena
junior college into a finer institu¬
tion.
“Forward, Alumni, 'toward the
goal that will be set for you by
your new executive staff. Let a
new spirit of loyalty dominate your
activities for the coming year.”

Dean Anderson
Sends Message
To All Alumni
The May 9 alumni celebration
promises to be one of the big¬
gest and best gatherings of Pas¬
adena junior college alumni ever
held
It will mark the beginning of
what we feel will be a closer
and stronger bond between the
college and its graduates, which
is sure to mean great things for
the college and fine associations
for the alumni.
With the new buildings rap¬
idly becoming realities, and the
old campus on the way back to
its old dignity, beauty and spa¬
ciousness, alumni will take an
increasing pride in visiting the
school. Those of us here on the
campus have a feeling of great
things to come. Surely an in¬
stitution that can weather the
“depression” that we have had
during the past two years and
emerge with standards and mor¬
ale not lowered has the stuff in
it that makes greatness. Alum¬
ni everywhere may take an hon¬
est pride in what their old alma
mater has been able to do un-,
der adverse conditions.
I hope that hundreds of them
will come hack and join us in
this celebration on May 9.
JOHN A. ANDERSON,
Administrative Representative.
