mined the winner of the title of

maining six finalists will act as

tendance upon the Queen at the

ride on the Theme float of the
New Year’s day parade, includes
Alberta Anderson, Celeste Calla¬
han, Evelyn Calvert, Beverly Mil¬
ler and Phyllis Caspary from the

mony in which the queen will re¬
ceive the crown, will be a formal
dance. The dance is open to the
public.

Organizations Committee
Act As Judges For
Yearly Tilt
La «Filipina, club for Filipino
men on the campus, won first place
in the recent attendance contest,
held during the month of Novem¬
ber and sponsored by the organi¬
zations committee. The winning
club will have its name engraved
on the perpetual trophy below the
name of Clio, last year’s winner,
which finished in eighteenth place
in this year’s contest.
Clubs were scored by the organi¬
zations committee, headed by Sec¬
retary Bill Weil, on a basis of the
number of absences divided by the
number of members. The resulting
number was taken as the score for
the club.
Conclusions drawn by the com¬
mittee on the results of the con¬
test were that, “Despite the epi¬
demic of colds which caused in¬
creased absences during the month
of November, the results of the
attendance contest were considerab¬
ly better than last year. This
seems tq show that more effort was
extended on the part of the con¬
testants this year.
“Winning score this time was .37,
and losing score was 9.52 absences
per member. Last year’s results
were 1.12 absences for the winner,
and 20.10 for the losers.
“No discrimination was made
between excused and unexcused ab¬
sences and consequently many of

Symphony To
Play At UCLA
With the major engagement to
be in furnishing the music for
“Gloria,” the junior college sym¬
phonic orchestra, under the direc¬
tion of Milton C. Mohs, has sched¬
uled four appearances in the next
two weeks.
Tombrrow the orchestra will pre¬
sent a concert at the University of
California at Los Angeles, before
a conference of Western Music
teachers, also playing for the eve¬
ning performance of “Gloria.”
With over 100 members, the or¬
chestra will give a concert at the
Pasadena Civic auditorium, Decem¬
ber 18.
Over a national hook-up on the
NBC Red network, the orchestra
will present a concert -at 7:30 in
the morning on December 20. Be¬
cause it is over a national hook-up
accounts for the fact that the
broadcasting time is rather unusu¬
