‘Holly Hop’ Is Motif Of Yuletide Dance Planned By
junior Class Council, Headed by Dick Lusk, On
Wednesday Night; Holidays Begin
With festive yuletide cheer pervading the hall, from a mammoth
tree down to falling snow and an occasional Kris Kringle and St.
Nicholas scattered about, the junior class will sponsor its winter dance
tomorrow evening, December 18. at the Civic auditorium.
Establishing something in the way of a precedent, President Dick
Lusk announced last week that*
the class, through the medium of
its council, has decided not to re¬
strict the dance to juniors alone.
“Any member of the student body
is cordially invited,” he said. “Bids
are 25c and may be obtained from
any junior council member or at
the student union during lunch
periods.” The hop will be infor¬
mal.
Bob Mohr’s orchestra, which ag¬
gregation has been featured at sev¬
eral school affairs during the past
season, will furnish tunes and,
Lusk pointed out, the dance will
be held, not in the smaller Gold
room, but in the regular Civic ball¬
room.
To carry out the Christmas mo¬
tif, the decorations committee, un¬
der the chairmanship of Jane Hare,
are rapidly formulating the dec¬
orative array. Other committee
heads who have contributed toward
the affair include Bob Hurt, bids;
Josephine Tryon, orchestra; Jane
Hazenbush, theme; Bob Miller, lo¬
cale; Catherine Cauble, patrons;
and Carter Cordner, publicity.
Class officers are Dick Lusk,
president; Cecil Howard, vice-
president; Lenore Wilcox, secre¬
tary; and Bob Thomas, treasurer.
Patrons and patronesses will be
Dr. and Mrs. John W. Harbeson;
Mr. and Mrs. John A. Anderson,
Miss Ida E. Hawes, Miss Catherine
J. Robbins, Mr. and Mrs. James P.
O’Mara, Mr. and Mrs. Edward D.
Comelison, Miss Ellen N. Denning,

M. Lee, Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Lusk,
Mr. and Mrs.
С.

and Mrs. Franklin Thomas.
Primary election returns will re¬
sound over the entire campus on
January 13, when the public ad¬
dress system broadcasts hourly the
results of the student body elec¬
tions to be held that day. Phil
Cartwright will be in charge of
publicity, and Jane Hazenbush, bal¬
loting. Officers to be elecetde will
be presidents of the AMS , senior
class, junior class, sophomore class
and chief justice.
Kit Cartwright, who is in charge
of the election board, said, “To
have an election as closely con¬
tested as last semester’s is the
hope of this year’s administration.
According to the present returns,
the candidates are all outstanding,
capable students.”
The election board will include
Bill Weil, June Ketchum, Char-
naaine Bliss, Dow Parkes, Pat

Two Jaysee Students Win
Rose Tournament Contest
Two students from the art de¬
partment of Pasadena junior col¬
lege won first and third prizes in
the annual Tournament of Roses
float design contest. The contest,
open to all students in the Pasa¬
dena city schools, started the last
week in October.
Joyce Mansfield, student in the
college from Glendale, took first
prize with her design for a float
entitled, "Columbu s — Sail On.”
Robert Leigh's “Cleopatra In Her
Garden of Isis,” won third prize.
Margaret Selby, of John Muir tech¬
nical high school, won second place
designing the float “Queen Straton-
ice of Syria.” The prizes were 25
dollars, first prize; 15 dollars, sec¬
ond place; and ten dollars, third
place.
The title float of the parade, and
the one on which the Queen and
her court will ride, will be chosen
from these three designs. The plans
are to be submitted to the builders
of the floats and the most practical
and the best-looking will be chosen.
Students winning honorable men¬
tion are Mary Ellison, designing
“Ming Dynasty;” Jo Rendall, “Cle¬
opatra’s Barge;” Grace Wilkins,
“Moors in Spain;” Ruth Willard,
“Crusades,” Laverne Swanson,
“Jeanne d’Arc,” and Gerald Jann-
sen, “Magellan.”
Miss Mansfield entered last
year’s contest and won third prize.
Last year’s first place winner was
Frederic Jennison’s design, “Fire¬
bird.”
On the judging committee were
Mrs. Stuart W. French; Miss Cyril
Bennett; Miss Fannie M. Kerns;
Albert Stockdale; Archie M. Wede-
meyer, head of the art department
and Gilbert L. Skutt. Assisting in
the judging were members of the
float committee, Frank M. Brooks,
Stephen W. Royce and Charles R.
Seward.
The design has been sponsored
for many years by the Board of
Education and the Tournament of
Roses association.

Teams’ Guests
Featuring Joan Kellogg and

Peter’s orchestra played for the
senior class Christmas welfart
dance held in the men’s gym last
Friday.
Five cents was charged as ad¬
mission fee and the proceeds went
toward the Christmas welfare bas¬
kets to help the needy. The wel¬
fare committee, composed of Bob
Neill, Sue Hoff, Betty . Nichols,
Howard Miller and Chuck Betts
hoped to have enough to provide
baskets for eight families.
Members of the committee in
charge of the danee were Joanna
Pupis, publicity; Marjorie Betts,
orchestra and Palmer Anderson,
aided by the Argonauts, gate re¬
ceipts.
In conjunction with the senior
class, all organizations of the
school are asked to make an ef¬
fort to help relieve the needy of the
city. The sophomore class voted in
their last meeting to contribute at
least one basket as well as the in¬
dividual contributions of class
members.
Contributions are being made
through the office of Miss Cather¬
ine J. Robbins, dean of women, who j
has a list of families in Pasadena
needing assistance. Help is also
given out through the Christmas
mother who is selected each year
to direct the distribution of aid.
This year she is Mrs. John F. B.
Carruthers.
Alpha, C.S.F.
May Combine
Two problems regarding en¬
trance requirements and society
consolidation will be discussed at
the Alpha-C.S.F. meeting during
convocation period, January 8, in
100T, according to Miss Mildred
Wellborn, adviser for the scholas¬
tic groups.
Alpha members will discuss the
proposal which seeks to raise the
entrance requirements for tempor¬
ary membership in the club. An¬
other matter to be discussed is the
possibility of inviting to associate
membership those students in low¬
er division and in terminal courses
such as commerce and technology
and other non-certificated courses,
who meet certain scholastic stand¬
ards. The latter problem resolves
into the question, “Should the
school maintain two societies, one
for certificate and one for non¬
certificate students, or should
there be one group to which all
students are eligible?”
PLAYERS’ GUILD TO
HAVE YULE PARTY
Climaxing the calendar year, the
Bulldog band will participate in
numerous activities during Christ¬
mas vacation in their official capa¬
city as the Tournament of Roses
band.
The first of the programs was
presented last night over the Na¬
tional Broadcasting Company at 6
o’clock on the Tournament of Ros¬
es program. The entire band and
entertainers, including the accord-
ian duo, the old times quartet,
girls’ trio and the male chorus of
the band participated.
Beginning the day after Christ¬
mas, the aggregation will play for
the Kiwanis kick-off luncheon at
noon at the Hotel Vista del Ar¬
royo. The members and the coach¬
ing staff of the Rose Bowl teams
will be present and the program
will be broadcast over the Pacific
coast.
The following morning the musi¬
cians will play at the Los Angeles
Breakfast club. The officials of the
Tournament of Roses and most of
the important people connected
with the game will attend this
event.
The next major activity of the
band will be leading the Tourna¬
ment of Roses parade. In keeping
with the theme of the parade, His¬
tory in Flowers, the band will re¬
view the history of California in
music. The arrangement of the
music for the parade is being done
by Fox studios. The score will in¬
clude Spanish music, Mexican mus¬
ic down to a sample of modem
music.
Contrary to previous custom, the
local band will not represent the
eastern team in this New Year’s
East-West classic.. This is because
Southern Methodist has its own
band.
Local fans have had a taste of
this musical aggregation previous¬
ly when the Mustangs played U. C.
L. A. in the coliseum on Armistice
day. The principle deviation from
the usual type of college band is
that the S. M. U. band plays jazz
and other currently popular bands, j
On New Year’s day the band has
been invited to be the guests of the
Paris Inn Cafe on the night of
New Year’s day. Following this,
the band will serenade the ban¬
quets of the two teams in their re¬
spective places.

Tournament
THREE FROM TECH
Following a precedent set in past
years, the Pasadena Bulldog band
will once again sponsor an official
reviewing grandstand for the New
Year’s Day Tournament of Roses
Parade. The stand will again be
situated at the Union Pacific sta¬
tion on East Colorado street just
east of the flagpole. The position,
according to Bob Hurt, public re¬
lations chairman in charge of pub¬
licity, is advantageous as the par¬
ade may be viewed coming down
the hill and individual floats may
be seen as they pass the grand¬
stand. No obstruction to a clear
view, at either end of the stands,
is near the structure.
Urging those who intend to pur¬
chase tickets to do so immediately,
Audre L. Stong, director of the
Bulldog musical aggregation, an¬
nounced that ticket sales will go
on sale Thursday. “Tickets will
range from $1.65 to $2.20 to $2.75,”
he stated. They may be obtained at
the Union Pacific Depot, 205 W.
Colorado. Mr. Walter Wilcox,
school treasurer, is in charge of
sales. 2300 seats will be on sale.
The stand, according to Bob
Hurt, has been named the official
Texas reviewing stand by the pres¬
ident of the local Texas Letter-
man’s club. Three hundred seats
have already been ordered by the
organization and more are ex¬
pected.
In conjunction with the stand,
three parking lots will be spon¬
sored by the band and proceeds,
along with those from the stand,
will go to the band fund. With
Ray Kahn, chief justice and head
of the campus parking commission,
in charge, the lots center about
the stand location. Prices will
range according to the position on
the lot in reference to the line of
parade.
Coronation To Take Place
December 26 Before
Tournament Ball
Including the best in female
pulchritude from Muir Tech and
Pasadena junior college, seven
beauteous and personable young
ladies, from whom the Rose Queen

be chosen, have been picked as
princesses of the court for the an¬
nual New Year’s Day fete. The
queen was chosen Monday, Decem¬

robes of her office, which she will
wear during the parade. Her
court, consisting of the six other
young ladies, will be gowned as
her princesses.
The queen and her court are to
ride on the theme float at the head
of the parade on New Year’s Day.
Trumpeters, astride horses, decked
in medieval trappings, will herald
the approach of this float.
The queen will have as her sub¬
jects over one million people. In¬
cluded in the list of those to pay
homage to her will be Governor

Governor George J. Hatfield, may¬
ors of southland cities, and the
members of the Stanford and
Southern Methodist football teams,
