As the tapping ceremony starts, OMD members walk down the aisles of the auditorium, followed by the eyes of every student present, for no one knows who is to be tapped until the OMD member steps forward and lays Service Men Want News Last Christmas, when the Chronicle published its annual “super” edition, replete with color, cartoons, pictures, and features, an idea was born and put into effect: sending JC Chronicles to ex-PJC stu¬ dents now serving in Uncle Sam’s armed forces. The re¬ plies from the boys were so satisfactory that another “army” edition was prepared, a paper that would appeal to army men, and still serve its purpose as an official student body organ. The replies re¬ ceived were nearly all of the same tenor: “We want more.” The boys in the Navy, Army, and Marines like to read about what’s happening to their old alma mater, their friends, and teachers. But like so many other things, we’ve run into a snag now. Ordinar¬ ily we could send out the Chronicles without a postal charge — approximately ten per cent of the total number of subscribers (you the stu¬ dent body) is allowed to go out free. But the boys are shifted around so much, from one camp to another, from one training station to anoth¬ er, that it takes first class mail to have the mail for¬ warded — the post-office won’t forward poundage mail. Now the budget that was allotted the Chronicle last June by the Board of Representatives, can’t handle the expense, and Dean Stong, who helped in the original financing is run¬ ning out of cash. The only possibility is to have you stu¬ dents, who want to help the fellows some way, who have friends and brothers in camp, (Continued on Page 2) PJC Joins In Army Mechanic Training Plan iState-wide program, with PJC as one of the import¬ ant centers for the training of men and women aircraft mechanics for the Army, was announced in a United Press dispatch from Sacra¬ mento Monday night.

At this assembly also, a short memorial service will be pre¬ sented by Warren Allen, OMD president, and Ernie Blumberg, will be held for those PJC stu¬ dents who have lost their lives in this second World War.

A “standing • room only” crowd is expected, this assem¬ bly being one of the most popular and well-attended, so all students wanting seats should leave promptly for the auditorium at 8:55 (E) and 10:39 (W).
