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 (Continued on page 4, column 1) 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.
