Gilmore Brown under the direction of Miss Mabel pialmed to produce it again this The Toreador to be by year, but very kindly changed his plans at Miss Keppie’s request. The pla,y centers about a Mrs. Ritter who is to take part in a play directed by Mme. Pampinelli, Every Commissioner has his heart the desire to do the best he is able to do during his term of office. As Commissioner of Girl’s Welfare, I wish to fur¬ ther the interests of the Student Body and Girls’ League. There is an immense amount of work to be accomplished, and with the help and cooperation of the students the year will be a successful one. In connection with the work of the Girls’ League there is much to be done. At present the League is busy with the in-coming new girls. Brilliant plans are being formed for the May Party, which is given by the Girls’ League. Long before we realize it, grad¬ uation will be here. With all this in view the semester prom¬ ises to be an active one. HOLLY HALSTED, Commissioner of Girls’ Welfare M. Oakes, will present their ann ual operetta.

Still another trips across a stage brace and falls across an open door in full view of the audience beyond. The climax comes when the curtain rope breaks and Mme.

Friends of the Student Body: I certainly want to express my gratitude to all of you who have shown your confidence in me by my reelection, and I want to pro¬ mise that I will try to justify this faith. It has been three years since Pasadena has won a Debating championship and since that time Student Body’s interest in Debat¬ ing has decreased steadily. Our next League debate is with Los Angeles High on the twenty-sev¬ enth of February. Debating is now the only kind of contest in which we can meet our old rivals, Donald Hamblin Courtesy Star-News. the City League Schools; and be¬ sides this, L. A. High was defeat¬ ed in its first League debate by Long Beach. This fact alone ought to bring out a crowd to our next debate. Just suppose everyone said, “There’s going to be a football game this afternoon, but who wants to see a football game.” This seems ridiculous but if it were so, would we ever expect to win a championship? Of (Continued on page three) cess this year is attributed to the wise leadership of Capt. “Hand¬ some Don” Barnes, who has in¬ stilled in his cadets the spirit which makes them pull together for the good of the unit. He trains his corporals to “take charge of the platoon” when the lieutenants are absent. Quite fre¬ quently privates are allowed to take the corporals’ places in lead¬ ing the squads. * This sort of training develops a certain amount of leadership in each ca¬ det, and leads to a sense of re¬ sponsibility which, the “D” com¬ pany boys believe, other cadets 1 dn not nnssess . brings a laugh.
