Stars and the stillness
Of the winter night,
When from the dark sky
Shines a radiant light.
Angels descending,
Carolling abroad,
“Peace on earth, good will to men,
And Glory to God!”
Sheep and their shepherds
On the silent hills,
When from the heavens
Glorious music thrills!
Anthems of gladness,
From the heavenly height,
“Hark, rejoice! To you is born
A King this night!”
Kings of the Orient
Journeying afar,
Following ever
One majestic star.
Bearing, their offerings
To the new-born King,
While the world stands still in joy,
And angels sing.
Low in a manger
Sleeps the Holy Child,
Near Him his mother,
Patient Mary, mild.
Shepherds and Magi,
Angels from above
Worship Him in humble praise,
The King of Love!

Pasadena Represented
At C. S. F. Convention
The seventh annual student con¬
vention of the California Scholar¬
ship Federation was held at the
San Diego high school on December
10.
Six students and two faculty
advisers represented Pasadena
high school.
At the business meeting which
was conducted in the Russ audit¬
orium of the San Diego high
school, Miss Sara A. Talbot pre¬
sented Pasadena high school’s
scroll. Two other P. H. S. repre¬
sentatives gave reports, Kathleen
D. Loly, former state president,
and Marion Sehrooer, 1927 state
treasurer.
Officers elected for 1928 are:
pres., Huntington Park; vice-pres.,
Riverside; sec., Polytechnic high;
treasurer, Manual Arts; publicity,
Myra Perner.
Faculty Members P.H.S. Is Below
fudge Assemblies Average In ‘Thrift
Who will win the assembly cup
to be awarded the club presenting
the best program? This problem
is in the hands of seven faculty
members: Miss Pearl Kibre, Miss
Edna Plummer, Miss Catherine
Robbins, Miss Edith Wolfe, Mrs.
Helen Stone, A. R. Carpenter, and
F. G. Young. They are judging
the assemblies for three qualities;
namely, as to how appropriate
they are, how worthwhile they are,
and as to the ability of the pre¬
formers to hold and entertain
the audience.
Each judge places the club’s
grading in a sealed envelope, which
will be opened after the last com¬
petitive program is put on by the
Commerce club, January 24. The
club receiving the highest average
will receive the cup.
Thus far, the three clubs having
presented their assemblies are; the
Triple “S”, the Hi-Y and the “X”.
The program given by Bauble and
Bells and music department this
week is not competitive due to the
the unequal opportunites in the
type of program.
Girls’ League Gives
Money Xmas Presents
A Christmas fund amounting
to $100 is being given by the Girls’
league this year to various insti¬
tutions that are in need. The $100
will be divided among the Wal¬
lace home for fatherless and
motherless children, the girls’ pre¬
ventorium, the new wing of which
was made possible by the Girls’
league, the Rosemary cottage, a
home for girls, and the Pasadena
hospital.
Following the custom of pre¬
vious years, the Girls’ league will
play Santa Claus to the Mexican
children of the Fremont school.
Candy and gift filled Christmas
stockings will be given to each
child. *
That the percentage . of weekly
depositors in P.H.S. is not as high
as it should be, is the opinion of
Paul Billiter, faculty thrift advi¬
sor. Although there has been a
steady increase in the number of
students depositing each week
since the beginning of the semes¬
ter, the percentage is not rising as
fast as it should in comparison
with other high schools of its size
in the U. S. Mr. Billiter shows
that out of forty-four class “A”
high schools in the United States
where the educational thrift system
has been introduced, Pasadena
holds forty-first place. If all the
forty-two high schools west of
the Rocky Mountains who have the
thrift system, Pasadena high
stands thirty-second. South Pasa¬
dena, Muir Tech, Riverside, San
Bernardino, and Santa Barbara
high schools are a few of those in
Southern California which have
much higher weekly percentages
than P. H. S.
The average number of deposit¬
ors weekly in every high school in
the United States where the thrift
system has been established is
81.3%. P. H. S. falls much below
this average. The weekly average
of high school west of the Rocky
Mountains is 64.7%. P. H. S.
also falls below this average.
According to the last Thrift Gaz¬
ette there are now thirty-two high
schools in the United States which
have 100 per cent depositers, and
most of these schools have been
keeping up that record for several
months.
Of the 102 advisories here, twen¬
ty-nine of them had 100% last
week. Only one of these has ever
before had 100%. The weekly av¬
erage is about 60% at present.
The largest attendance in the
history of student entertainments
turned out for the showing of the
“Poor Nut” and the accom-
paning entertainers. Nearly three
hundred dollars were taken in for
the low student body fund.
An enthusiastic audience total¬
ing about fifteen hundered, braved
the inclement weather to attend the
first evening show that the school
has put on this year.
The Varsity Five presented a
number of popular songs which
seemed to meet the approval of the
audience. The very popular Peggy
Mathews, now Peggy Hatch, sang
three of the season’s hits, and
along with Bill Hatch received a
lot of applause.
The showing of the pictures of
the Long Beach-Pasadena battle
recalled the bulldog’s victory, and
the scene where “Torchy” Van
Ornum passed half the length of
the field for the winning points,
had the students applauding. The
movies of old clothes day pictured
P. H. S. through the eyes of the
camera, and showed the students
in their “glad rags” and also pic¬
tures of the administration.
“The Poor Nut” and. Felix,
cartoon, had the students and their
elders laughing during the greater
part of the chow. Charley Murray
and his agile face seemed to please
the old as well as the young, and
the general impression of the show
was that it was a great success.
Although the general impression
on the campus has been that there
' would be successors to the enter-
tertainment of Friday night, Letha
; Morris announced that there would
be no further shows this semester
while she is holding the office of
commissioner of entertainment.
Music during the showing of the
school, football, and comedy pic¬
tures was furnished by Altie
Miller, while during the feature
showing, Gordon Palmer took over
Fred Paul’s old job at the piano,
and Whit Smith aided with his
saxaphone.

large grid squads; and the “Chron¬
icle” and the general student body

percent or $122.59; student body,
ten percent, or $408.65; tennis, one
and one half percent or $61.30.
The entire $4086.45 was earned
by the sale of student body cards
and the sale of tickets to athletic
and debating activities. Last week
$290 was made as the result of the
the “Poor Nut” entertainment.
P. H. S . Band Will
March New Tears
In addition to a beautiful floral
entry, Pasadena high school will
be represented this year in the
Tournament of Roses parade by a
band of forty-nine piees, the
largest band to represent this in-
stitutation in several years.
New uniforms have been acquir¬
ed, consisting of yachting caps,
white shirts and trousers, red ties,
and large red sashes, which in
addition to snappy marching and
good music, should show up well in
the parade.
Besides having studied mauy
marches, the band also has a large
repertoire of opera and classic
music at hand, and contemplates
giving a high class program in
assembly sometime in the near fu¬
ture.

T. C., Tuesday when they
made an excursion to San Pedro.
The special train was met by
Captain Manthey at the lower res¬

the upper reservation near the light
house at Pt. Firmin, thence to Bat¬
tery Osgood, where they visited the

feature of the trip, the entire crew
i of one of the big fourteen-inch
guns went through the motions of

! shell.
The battalion then proceeded to
Batteries Barlow and Saxton where
they were shown the mortars that
are used in short range coast de¬
fense. Captain Conover, who is
in charge of the batteries, took the
boys into the plotting room where
they were shown how the gunners
obtain range of a ship when they
are concealed from the target.
After the cadets had gone to one
j of the observation posts and ob-
j tained a bird’s eye view of the Los
Angeles harbor they went to the
lower reservation and saw the
large railroad gun, which has a
shooting range of about twenty-
sleeping and eating quarters, learn¬
ing how the food is prepared and
how the men live while in the bar¬
racks. The cadets went to the
San Pedro Y. M. C. A. for dinner.
Later the battalion went to the
battleship Tennessee. Lieutenant
McKellar, who is in charge of the
aviation on board the ship, ex¬
plained the various features of av¬
iation as connected with the navy.
Ensign Roberts explained such fea¬
tures as the anchor, anti-aircraft
guns, and the armor of the boat.
The “voice of the fleet” in the tur¬
ret with its complicated mechan¬
ism was explained. Ensign Hai-
berker showed a group of the boys
through the engine rooms and
other working parts of the dread-
naught.
The trip to Fort McArthur and
to the Tennessee was made possible
through the courtesy of Lieutenant
Colonel Pease and Executive Of¬
ficer Pence of the . battleship Ten¬
