is taking the leading place in the
Pasadena Campus this year. For
this reason a request for campus
snapshots has been made by year¬
book editors.
Students who obtain pictures of
the everyday actions of college folk
are invited to leave them at the
Campus office, in room 208-D, if
they would be interested in seeing
them in print. Only snaps with a
glossy finish will be used.
All June graduates who desire
pictures before Christmas are re¬
quested, to see Jeanette Mogenson,
Campus photography editor, before
December 20, in room 208-D, at 3
o’clock any day except Monday.
Bud Desenberg, business man¬
ager, announces that all reserva¬
tions for the club section must be
made before December 20. Money

the business manager with the res¬
ervations.

News Channel
Undercurrents
A veritable rogues gallery has
been established in the front hall
during these rainy days by the
rows of books left there by sorrow¬
ing former “front-steppers” who
now cannot use the dripping en¬
trance for a parking place.
If anyone is in trouble regard¬
ing his choice of a Christmas
gift for mother, sister, friend,
etc., let him get in touch with
the art director of the publicity
bureau — she draws a mean por¬
trait.
Like the mythical Scotchman
who first dug out the Grand Can¬
yon, girls wearing high heels are
digging large holes in the hockey
fields on their way to gym, accord¬
ing to vigilant teachers.
Three poor bunnies sit forlornly
and tensely day after day in their
close quarters in the east gardens;
a trio that is hopelessly serving its
time as experimental material for
heartless scientific students.
Classes Closing;
Watch Bulletins
With half the school already
programmed, full classes are being
closed daily. Before choosing sub¬
jects students should notice the
counselor’s bulletin for crowded
periods.
Counselors, may be consulted dur¬
ing club or assembly periods for
any matter other than making pro¬
grams, according to Miss Ida E.
Hawes, dean of guidance.
FEBRUARY GRADS
February graduates who cannot
keep photograph appoi n t m e n t s
must see Jeanette Mogenson, in
room 208-D at three o’clock any
day except Monday. Students who
break an appointment without see¬
ing her must forfeit their senior
picture in the Campus.
the associated women students of
Pasadena junior college.
W. A. A., Alpha, C. S. F., and
Miss Bonnie Scholes’ night school
class have donated toys, but stu¬
dents are still requested to add to
the pile of children’s gifts in Miss
Catherine J. Robbins’ office.
Baskets will be filed by: Aeol-
ians, Albibetes, Philothians, Sor-
elle, Gunaikes, and several unor¬
ganized groups.
To the Preventorium will be
given a decorated tree, gift of the
Sophomore class, Alpha, and C. S.
F., while A. W. S., under the su¬
pervision of Virginia Parker, will
furnish the Christmas bureau with
another tree, decorated by the
sophomore group.
The faculty will also assist in
Noel welfare work.
Gym Locker Work
Nears Completion
Work on the new men’s gym
lockers is progressing rapidly to¬
ward completion, according to offi¬
cials in charge of the work. The
finished lockers and showers are
expected to be ready for use by
the beginning of next semester.
Increase in enrollment brought
need for more space in the dressing
rooms, and since students were
already sharing compartments, it
was decided, to transform the one¬
time armory and rifle range into
lockers and showers. The added
space is expected to accommodate
satisfactorily the increase in physi¬
cal education classes.
Late Bulleiin
At a mass meeting of 300 re¬
strictive club members late yes¬
terday, personal opinion was
generally against the solution of
the house party problem as ad¬
vanced by the restrictive inter¬
club council.
Ben Berning, student body
president, presented a plan
which includes the establishment
of a student body resort gov¬
erned by student body officers,
for Easter vacation.
