PEACE TALK INTERESTS
STUDENTS IN FRIDAY
ASSEMBLY
Mrs. C. Perkins Gillman Gives
Lecture on “The Vision
and the Program”
Interesting Topic Forcefully
Discussed by Woman of
World Fame
Mrs. C. Perkins Gillman, a former
resident of Pasadena, addressed the
students last Friday, giving an in¬
tensely interesting lecture on “The
Vision and the Program.” Many visit¬
ors were present and the talk was
greatly enjoyed. Following are a few
extracts :
“If the younger generation intrudes
on the older it is only to be expected
since they have grown out of the older,
but the younger set must improve on
the last generation or the world does
not advance. The young people are
the most important of the human race.
They are the forward part of the
world, the front of civilization.
“One of the principles upon which
the American government is based is
liberty. But liberty has always been
here. Look at the Indians. They had
it long before the white people came,
but where are they today? We brought
the power of union, the power of or¬
ganization, ■ the power that enables
men to hang together. It is the basic
power of the country.
“The war is bringing about three
great movements: the Labor move¬
ment, the Women’s movement, and
the World Federation movement.
“From the earliest days men came
together and formed groups and the
tendency grew until now the earth is
covered with nations. So long as there
continues ' to be nothing bigger than
the nation, then one will be larger
than another and the larger nation
will begin to eat up the other nations
and the result is war. I am not saying
that we shouldn’t fight, for there are
times when it is absolutely necessary,
but I do say that it is not an advan¬
tage. War does not forward the
growth of humanity any more than
fighting improves individuals. If the
business of life were fighting, then
war might be a good thing. No good in
the world can be gained by fighting.
Everything must stop when war be¬
gins. It is an arrest in human pro¬
gress, and when we can outgrow it we
shall rush forward more surely.
“It is in the name of something
bigger that war must stop. Every
great union of states is able to keep
peace among its parts and when we
have the largest nation of all it will
be able to stop strife.”
IN HISTORY CLASSES
Prof. Ashley Satisfied With
Good Work of His
Department
“The work being done in the History
Department this year is of the highest
class, and the interest taken by the
students assures good results through
the rest of the year,” said Professor
Ashley, last week.
Not only is the work done by the
students this year good, but the equip¬
ment with which they work is con¬
tinually being improved. Within the
last two weeks quite a large addition
has been made to this collection of
supplementary equipment, consisting
of pictures explaining the life of var-
| ious peoples which are studied, dia-
grams si iwing the various styles of
an hitei t re, and several works of art.
All this equipment enables the stu¬
dent to get a better grasp of the var-
ious Department in the History Depart¬
ment. With the interest shown by
students, and the efforts being made
by the authorities to make the work
interesting, the standard of the His¬
tory Department during the coming
ylear should be better than ever be¬
fore.
UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONSHIP
WON BY PASADENA ELEVEN
Wins Over Whittier by Score of Half Hundred to Zero; Pasadena
Victors Spill Dope in High-Handed Manner With
Crushing Defeat of Supposed
Stronger Team
Smashing, plunging and fighting for gain after gain, Pasadena won
the Southern California High School Title from Whittier by the humili¬
ating score of 50 to 0. Tackle around plays by MacConaghy and Moore,
line bucking by Brant and “Wally,” and wide end runs by “Tuffy” tells
the story. Outgeneraled and played off their feet from the second
quarter, Whittier fought hard until the final blow of the whistle. The
Bulldogs were never in danger and the ball was in their hands two thirds
of the time. Whittier’s cry of Pasadena having a one-man team was
soon drowned as Pasadena walked up and down the field for touchdown
after touchdown. Working as smooth as a machine, the Bulldogs were
never stopped from the second quarter until the end. Time after time
Tuffy completely bewildered the Whittier team by his wide end runs.
Passing the ball and tackling like a demon, “Steve” played one of
the best games ever played by a Pasadena center. Getting down on
punts, and getting his man, breaking through and busting up interfer¬
ence and kicking off like a college player, Steve brought the crowd to
its feet again and again.
In running interference and tackling like a demon, “Wally” was
always there and played a wonderful defensive game.
Brant plunged and fought like the old chieftain that he is. When¬
ever three or four yards were needed Brant was always there with the
goods. Brant certainly deserves all the credit in the world for the way
he handled his men.
Time after time, like huge pile
drivers, big “Jawn” McConaghy and
“Jake” Moore tore through the Whit¬
tier line and on line bucks they al¬
ways opened up holes.
“Rabs” and “Kenny” were down on
punts, busted up interference and
caught passes like old timers.
FIRST QUARTER
Pasadena won the toss and Whittier
kicked. Whittier held and Pasadena
lost the ball on downs. From the first
Whittier opened up, trying forward
after forward without success. The
ball seesawed around near the center
of the field, neither team making any
great gains. The quarter ended with
the two teams seemingly very evenly
matched. Whittier’s ball on 30-yard
line.
SECOND QUARTER
From the second quarter on the
game was all Pasadena. Whittier
tried two forwards without success
and were finally forced to punt. Tuffy
carried the ball back 20 yards. From
that time Pasadena started to smash
Whittier’s line. Brant and “Wally”
carried the ball for gains of 5 yards
each. Tuffy then got away for a 35
yard gain. The ball was then on the
15 yard line. Tuffy tried the drop
kick but failed. The ball was brought
back and Whittier was penalized. With
the ball on the 4 yard line Whittier
tightened and Pasadena lost 10 yards
on line bucking. Then up steps Tuffy
and set a drop kick betwen the posts.
Sore, 5-0 ; 5 yards.
Steve kicked off. Whittier was
downed in her own tracks. Three
passes were tried and all were broken
up by Pasadena. Whittier punted to
the 30 yard line and Tuffy carried the
ball back to the 40 yard line. Mac¬
Conaghy smashed the line in tackle
around the for 8 yards. The ball was
brought back and Pasadena penalized.
Brant gained 10 yards on an end run.
Tuffy failed to drop kick from 40 yard
line. Whittier’s ball on 20 yard line..
Whittier again tried pass after pass,
none being successful. Whittier punt¬
ed. After being held for three downs,
Pasadena punted. Whittier fumbled
but recovered. Whittier was held on
her own 4 yard line and was forced
to punt. Tuffy carried ball back 10
yards. On a fake play Tuffy ran for a
gain of 30 yards. Brant smashed
through the Whittier line from 15
yard line for the first touchdown.
Steve kicked a perfect goal. Score,
10-0.
Steve kicked off and Whittier was
held for 3 downs. Wally intercepted a
pass and ran to the 25 yard line. Tuffy
gained 15 yards on fluke play. Tuffy
is again given the ball and carried ball
over for the second touchdown. Steve
kicked goal. Score, 17-0.
Whittier kicked off, was penalized
5 yards and had to kick over again.
Cory was taken off the field and Wynn
replaced him.
SECOND HALF
Steve kicked off and Whittier was
tackled on 20 yard line. By a series
of trick plays and line bucks the ball

DEBATERS HAVE BEST CHANGE
AT CHAMPIONSHIP THIS YEAR
Coach and Students Confident That Pasadena Will Win South¬
western Championship If Things Break Right; For
Thirteen Years Pasadena Has Missed
by Narrow Margin
With the majority of material out
composed of experienced veterans, and
the others far above the average, P.
H. S. chances for becoming champions
of the Southwestern Debating League
are greater than ever before.
Because of the great wealth of ex¬
cellent material, Coach Carson has de¬
cided to have two squads, the members
of the first receiving squad pins and
one-fourth credit, the second squad
people receiving one-fourth credit. The
object of the two squads is to keep
members on the first squad working
all the time, and to develop the ma¬
terial in the second squad. If at any
time any person on the second squad
is doing better work than any person
on the first squad, then these two per¬
sons will change places.
Pasadena has for the last thirteen
years been trying for a championship
in debating and has always lost by a
small margin. This year, however,
Coach Carson and the debaters are de¬
termined to bring the championship to
P. H. S.
Pasadena now has better chances
than ever before — they stand at the
top of the major section of the South¬
western Debating League.
Six out of the sixteen that compose
the two squads have made winning
interscholastic debating teams, and
the majority of the rest have had two
or three years’ experience at the de¬
bating game. With all these experi¬
enced people, and the firm support
that the Student Body gives debating
there is no reason why P. H. S. should
not turn out a championship team.
ARTISTS AND FOOTBALL
PEOPLE DIVIDE
ASSEMBLY
Rally for Football and An¬
nouncement of Christmas
Cards at Same Time
Heterogeneous Meeting Suc¬
cessful for Both Depart¬
ments Concerned
The excellent work which is being
accomplished by the Art Department
was brought to the school’s attention
in the assembly of last Thursday while
an interesting stereopticon lecture on
the work of George Inez, one of the
foremost of American painters, was
given by Miss Chase.
The pictures by Mr. Inez at the
Exposition were pronounced by the
critics as being among the most beau¬
tiful and wonderful of the hundreds
exhibited and the artist himself is
considered one of the greatest of the
nineteenth century.
Reproductions of three of his paint¬
ings were donated to the school by
the Art Department and are to be
seen hanging in the front hall.
A Christmas card sale was an¬
nounced by the department and the
patronage of the entire Student Body
was asked as the proceeds will go to¬
wards beautifying the interior of the
school.
The assembly was divided about
equally between art and football and
the coming Whittier game was up¬
permost in the minds of all.
“Whittier,” said Steve, “has one of
the strongest teams in the South and
they have a good coach. They are
posing as world champions this year
and P. H. S. likewise claims the honor
so two world champion teams are to
clash on the gridiron next Steurday.”
“Tuffy” thought it was going to be
one of the hardest games of the season
as the Whittier team has made a won¬
derful improvement since last season
and the support of the whole Student
Body will be needed.
“Last year,” said Brant, “we defeat¬
ed Whittier 76 to 6, but this year we’ll
do well at 7 to 0. They are one of the
strongest teams in the south this year
and run a masked interference which
is very difficult to break up.
“Next Saturday we want the whole
school out and it will depend on you
people whether or not we win.”
T
RUN WITH HOLLYWOOD
Dozen Candidates Show
Fine On Pasadena
Race Course
Up
With ten or twelve fellows out,
cross-country is now in full swing. At
a meeting held some time ago, Stauf¬
fer was elected captain and Hunnicut
manager. The boys have been work¬
ing hard and are in the best of condi¬
tion for the coming season. The first
meet will be held with Hollywood soon
after New Years, the second with
Manual and the third probably with
Long Beach. The distance to be run
is two and one-half miles and all can¬
didates that have trained three weeks
are eligible to compete.
A new system of scoring is going to
be tried. The first six men from each
school will count. First place counts
one, second place two, and so on. The
team that has the lowest score wins.
This ought to prove much easier than
the old complicated way of reckoning.
The fellows who participate in the
majority of the meets will receive a
minor “P.” With such material as
Cooper, Hunnicut, “Tuffy” Conn, and
others, things look bright for Pasa¬
dena.
Passing of Tree
Breaks Down
Carter
Dead. Dead! DEAD!! The fact
screams at every passerby. Poor,
poor, little tree, plucked off in its
prime, killed by heartless wind -f
and broiling sun. Ah, ’tis sad. i
When interviewed by a CHRON¬
ICLE reporter the tree that stands
[just west of the printing office ex¬
pressed sorrow that it had not had
a longer life. “I might have lived
a long time,” it said, “but even
then I would only have been cut
up for firewood.”
When asked if it had anything
to leave behind, it announced that
chalk, gravel, cones, spoons, etc.,
which had been thrown at or near
[ it would be bequeathed to the Ag¬
ricultural Department.
According to Mr. Hunter, the
-tree had just been cultivated when
[a violent Santa Ana came along
-and blew it over. The sun then
[came out and burnt up the roots.
-The tree was replanted in an ef¬
fort to save it, but the attempt
-was a failure.
Mr. Carter is overcome with
grief. He hinted that he would
[ be forced to use the tree to heat
-the new greenhouse. Its place will
[be taken by a larger, more valua¬
ble tree — probably of a different
[specie.
GIRLS LEAGUE MAKING
SUCCESS OF PENNY
LUNCH_PLAN
Myrtle Bixby and Three Help¬
ers Prepare Food From
High School
Nearly everybody has seen the boxes
which recently appeared in the lunch
rooms and the signs on the boxes.
How many have seen farther?
As the signs say, the boxes are
placed there to receive contributions
for the Raymond Avenue School penny
lunches. In this school — in the heart
of a veritable slum district, children
have been going lunchless until a
number of kind-hearted women, learn¬
ing of their condition, introduced
“penny lunches,” good meals, served
hot and in an appetizing manner.
There is a nominal charge, which
places the enterprise above abject
charity. It has so far proven a suc¬
cessful means of providing lunches for
the children.
Now come the boxes in the lunch
rooms. Mr. Hunter, head janitor, has
to go through the trash boxes every
day to remove sundry forks and
spoons, deposited therein in a most
mysterious fashion. He noticed that a
lot of food, perfectly good, but care¬
lessly tossed aside by students who
did not need it, was found every day.
When Mr. Hunter heard of the
penny lunches at the Raymond Avenue
School, he decided that it was a fine
opportunity to utilize the food that
had been wasted heretofore. In con¬
junction with a committee from the
Girls’ League, headed by Myrtle Bix¬
by, he evolved the idea of the boxes,
and they were soon placed in the
lunch rooms.
Certainly P. H. S. will be willing to
help on the good work, especially
when it is so little trouble to wrap the
extra sandwich or piece of cake in a
piece of paper and put it in the box.
The mere collection of food, how¬
ever, is not sufficient, so a committee
of three girls helping Myrtle Bixby,
is chosen each week from members
of the Girls’ League. The duty of these,
helpers is to wrap all food in sanitary
oil paper, and to furnish proper paper
napkins and cartons for different arti¬
cles.
When food reaches the Raymond
school it is carefully sorted by a com¬
petent woman cook, and then is sold
in the form of penny lunches.
In no case will poor children receive
the food free, but in case any child
should be minus the necessary copper,
he may earn his lunch by helping
wash and wipe a few dishes.
This week the Girls’ League helpers
are Georgenia Nelson, Mary Fretz, and
Natalie Burlingame.
PLANSBEINGGOMPLETED
FOR NOVEL SENIOR
Upperclassmen to Move in
Body Towards Gidding’s
Ranch Friday
“Stew” Is Name Chosen for
Senior Class Party
This Year
Next Friday afternoon and evening
the Senior Class will have a monster
gathering which, in one word, can only
be expressed by “stew,” as it will be
a conglomeration of pretty near every
variety of wholesome entertainment.
The appropriateness of the “stew”
is easily seen when one glances over
as much of the program as the com¬
mittee in charge will allow to be an¬
nounced. It will be a mixture af
games, picnic, wienies, circus, infor¬
mality, fun and old clothes. It is de¬
sired that every one wear either their
old clothes or, at least, their school
clothes, as it is claimed that no one
can properly enjoy himself or herself
in “good” clothes at this party.
The “stew” will be held at the Gid-
dings Rancho in Altadena. If any un¬
der classmen are planning to attend
the festivities it might be said that
they will receive a rather cool recep¬
tion as there is a reservoir near. Sen¬
iors will leave in autos between four
and four-thirty for the scene of fes¬
tivities and will return in the same
vehicles some time before morning.
A number of faculty members will be
present to help in making the stew a
success and also to act as chaperones.
There is always the financial side
of class affairs of this type and it
might be, well to remind some of the
Seniors that they’ have not paid up
their dues. Those who have not paid
up may attend the party if they pay
the small sum of twenty-five cents to
the treasurer before Friday night.
There are two or three hundred Sen¬
iors in the school and ninety-nine per¬
cent are expected to be present.
A great deal of credit is due to the
social committee and a few others for
this novel and very inviting “stew”
which is entirely original and promises
to be more successful than any other
class or school festivity of the kind.
The members of the committee are
June Giddings, Margaret Cohn, Laura
Cutler, William Coombs and Ray¬
mond Hartman. Miss Sabel, class ad¬
viser, has proved herself invaluable
where advising and helping is con¬
cerned. There are others also who
have greatly helped, which goes to
show the fine spirit of the Senior class.
This is but the first of a series of
affairs that are planned this year. The-
class is -planning to make itself the
livest class that ever graduated or
will graduate for many years to come.
It has already made a record for itself
in past years that will be hard for suc¬
ceeding classes to excel.
