At their meeting Monday night when they continued planning for the third annual Junior
Rose Parade, on December 27, members of the Board of Directors and tho parade staff — all
prominent Pasadena Junior College students — posed for the above photograph. Deft to right,
standing — Dinwood Wilde, Bill Walcott, Francis Stevenson, Ernest Blumberg, Bill Simmons, Bill
Yates, David Davis, Ernie Sloman, Bill Humphrey, David Orswell. Deft to right, seated — Pierre
Cossette, Ed Davis (president), Betty-Jo Hyatt (secretary), Jack Rambert (vice president), War¬
ren Allen (manager) and Noel Young.
The men students of PJC may
consider themselves very lucky,
for on Monday, the sixteenth of
January, they will have the
chance to attend one of the finest
men’s stags that has ever been
staged in this school, or any oth¬
er school, as a matter of fact.
There will be two hours of
action filled entertainment, top¬
ped by the best of top-notch vod-
vil actors and performers. There
will be music, fun (the kind men
enjoy), and even refreshments.
Ernie Blumberg, the energetic
and enterprising young man who
has made all this possible, re¬
ported that firing would begin
at seven-thirty in the East Cam
pus auditorium and would con¬
tinue until about ten p. m. He
also stated that this definitely
would be the finest and most fun
filled stag that has ever been
produced. So how can you men
go wrong when the price of this
gigantic show is only ten cents,
one thin little dime?

Sally Stanton Gloria' Assembly Offers
Vuletide Spectacle
The year 1940 will mark for most students at PJC, their
only opportunity to view Gloria. This dramatic story of the
Nativity told in music of the ages is given but once in two
years, offers an unforgetable experience to thousands. At
each presentation, many see Gloria for the first time ; but for
many, Gloria is a bi-yearly tradition, an integral part of the
holiday festivities.
'Campus' Boosts
Named
Rose Queen
Sally Stanton, 17-year-old
Pasadena Junior College co-ed,
the girl who has “never seen a
Rose Parade” was chosen 1941
Queen of the famous “Pageant
of Flowers” by the Tourna¬
ment of Roses Judging Com¬
mittee.
SKYROCKETED
On January 1, she will reign
supreme over the spectacle that
yearly draws millions of visi¬
tors. Abruptly skyrocketd into
fame, first celebration in her
majesty’s honor will be the
Royal Ball, Wednesday night,
December 18.
TINSEL
This will be followed by hun¬
dreds of pictures, telephone
calls, and interviews, bringing
a touch of tinsel and glamour
into the Stanton home in La
Canada.
“Long Live the Queen.”
Picture Price
This week “Campus” editors
decided to up their price to pho¬
tographers who turn in accept¬
able shots to them. Formerly
“Campus” offered 50 cents for
good pictures, now wavers 75
cent inducements to PJC photog¬
raphers who want to see their
work in the semi-annual.
Campus life, sports, club news,
social news, and good action
shots in relation to Pasadena Ju¬
nior College are wanted by the
editors.
Co-directors-authoi's Lulu Clair
Parmley and Katherine Kester,
not content merely to present the
birth of Christ in song and story,
went back to 1000 BC for the
Prologue. The opening scene de¬
picts an ancient Hebrew temple,
here Prophet-Priest Rodney Mun¬
son, surrounded by flames from
the altar, prophesies the coming
of Jesus.
The Prologue is a triumph in
production skill and apptitude of
music students. With the excep¬
tion of one number all music is
sung in Hebrew, those of the
language department attempting
to master relatively simple
French or Spanish will appreci¬
ate this feat.
Junior Tournament
Has Patriotic Theme
As Christmas holidays approached, 16 members of JC’s
student body gave up thoughts of vacation, buckled down to
the difficult task of presenting a rose parade, comparable to
the world-famous pageant of flowers presented by the City
of Pasadena each January 1st.
Headed by dynamic Ed Davis, recently elected president,
and Warren Allen, manager, the purpose behind the Junior
Rose Parade is to give the young¬
er element of Pasadena a chance
to celebrate in festivities with a
production of their own.
This year the theme is “Birth
of America” and will be portray¬
ed by flower covered wagons, bi¬
cycles, horses, and kiddy-carts.
As in the senior tournament of
roses, the celebration will be pre¬
sided over by a queen, ten years
old or younger, who will ride in
state, accompanied by her two
attendants.
All entries for queen candi¬
dates must be in by December
20 and accompanied by an entrie
blank and a photograph. Entry
blanks should include name, ad¬
dress, phone, color of hair and
eyes, height, weight, and grade
in school. These blanks should be
sent to room 507 Central Build-
ing, 30 North Raymond. “Queen
Contest” should be written on
the outside of the envelope.
Another problem yet to be met
by the junior impressarios is to
procure flowers for float en-

Four PJC Speakers
Receive Engagements
The PJC Speaker’s Bureau has
selected four of its members to
present talks in the various ju¬
nior high and elementary schools
throughout the city. These dis¬
cussions will take place each
Monday night and will . continue
until all the schools have been
covered. The subjects will deal
with the attitudes of students to¬
wards national defense and dem¬
ocracy. They will be under the
auspices of Mr. Courtenat Mon¬
sen, secretary of the Board of
Education and chairman of the
National Defense Education pro
gram, who requested the pro¬
gram.
The remainder of the extrava¬
ganza involves the actual fulfill¬
ment of the Priest’s prophecy.
The diligence with which the
writers delved into all available
material for Gloria as proved by
the fact that when records and
authorities differed on the num¬
ber of Wisemen, both three and
four were mentioned, the authors
included a fourth Wiseman in¬
stead of the traditional three.
The part of Saradan of Chalder
is being played at Friday’s as¬
sembly by Cloyde Howard.
As the story of Gloria unfolds,
the stage lights grow brighter
and reveal the scene at the man¬
ger with the child, the Virgin
Mary and the Wisemen enter
bearing their gifts. In the back¬
ground a choir of angels sing
some of the greatest Noel music
of all time. As the scene reaches
a climax, from the back of the
darkened auditorium a chorus of
200 dressed in white approach
the stage for the Finale. A half
hour of singing by the complete
cast as it is assembled on stage
brings the performance to a con¬
clusion.
For the first time in its history
reserved seats are being sold,
these seats will be reserved for
25 cents but they can be ‘saved’
only until fifteen minutes before
each presentation.
Students planning to attend
Gloria today must exchange tic-

MANAGE JUNIOR ROSE
Scene from “Gloria.” Here the three kings, Stanley Meachum, Rodney Munson, and Ray Valois
bearing gifts for the Christ Child approach the manger where the Madona, Barbara ’ Graham, sits.
These are members of the Friday assembly cast.
Orchestra, Choir
To Sing Carols,
Work On Floats
Anticipating the float building
task members of the orchestra
will don old clothes and join the
A Cappella Choir for the first
time on December 31. Perhaps
the Queen’s float will be the one
decorated by about ninety of the
students working in three shifts.
The other two will be those of
Portland and Wilshire Oil. “The
length of the annual spring tour
will depend on how far the
money from the floats will take
us,” said Miss Mabel Oakes who
directs the A Cappella Choir and
who will help Mrs. Coleman,
float designer and builder, this
year.
Students will work at Delacy
and Union streets until the floats
move in the morning. Sleepy-
headed, they will then return
home and hope to rise before the
Rose Bowl game begins.
On Christmas Eve Doris Cor¬
bett and Earl Davis will lead a
small group pf carolers from the
A Cappella- Choir. The entertain¬
ment chairman of the Green
Hotel, Mrs. Edwards, invites
this singing group each year to
carol in the hotel lobby. Miss
Oakes has led the choir in this
venture for the last three years.
Curtain Raises On First
Showing Of 'Gloria* Today
Bashful Males,
“All of Southern California is talking about the marvel¬
ous beauty and finish of PJC’s ‘Gloria’ finale.” Thus Profes¬
sor Claussen of LACC, President of the California Western
Music Educator’s conference, writes Lulu Clair Parmley,
PJC music instructor. Miss Parmley adds that letters from
everywhere are pouring in asking for seats in Sunday’s re¬
served seat section. Reserved seats will be held until 2 :45 p.m.
Clean Out Cupboard
For LaVina Inmates
Jams! Jellies! Stray glasses of
jams or jellies occupying needed
space on pantry shelves should
be hustled down to Miss Olive
Kelso’s office on the West Cam¬
pus sometime this week. All do¬
nations are to be sent to girls at
the LaVina preventorium. Kay
Beasley is in charge of the
Christmas welfare on the West
Campus and hopes to collect
about 100 jars of jams or jellies.
A Christmas tree will be sent
to the LaVina preventorium with
decorations and all the trim¬
mings.
PARADE
After many weeks of intensive
rehearsal effort, the choral play's
cast is putting the finishing
touches on the production. Sea¬
soned troupers all, they are an¬
ticipating with confidence their
first performance. None of the
cast to date has submitted to the
current flu epidemic.
Gloria is a service of worship
rather than an entertainment.
There is no applause, and this
year, for the first time, a silver
offering will be taken.
Says Miss Parmley:
“We are hoping the student
body will receive a great deal of
pleasure and satisfaction from
Gloria, and that they will spread
the word that we are offering it
for the public on Friday evening
and Sunday afternoon on the
East Campus, and Tuesday eve¬
ning on the West Campus.”
No Ferns!
