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.

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. Audre L.

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.” To Present Speeches In Alumni Meet Banquet, Civic 'Alumni Night,’ Band Concert Scheduled For Grads 300 Former Students Expected To Attend Largest Celebration; Election of Officers Is Slated, As Harbeson and Anderson To Talk With plans under way for the largest Homecoming” celebration I in its history, the Alumni association will hold its tenth annual cele- [ bration Saturday, May 9, according to Earl Holder, executive secre- I tary, in charge of arrangements for the affair.

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. By C.B.C.
