Second Time
COMMITTEE MEETS
Speakers Will Be Chosen
By Popular Vote In
Next Elections
Sponsored by the Pasadena
Junior Chamber of Commerce,
and held as a project to create
interest in the Junior Chamber
and in government, the Student
Senate,, composed of students of
this school, met this week and last
to start the plans for this semes¬
ter’s Senate speech competition.
Harry Kerns, chairman of the
Junior Chamber, and originator
of the idea last year, is in charge
of the arrangements which are be¬
ing made by a committee of six
students. These students are Sam
Schwartz, Clarabel Dougan, Muriei
Rash, Paul Douglas, Dick Balch
and Jack Burtt.
The Senate, which was inaugu¬
rated for the first time last year,
is composed of 20 students who
will be chosen from a group of 40
students in the minor class office
elections next February 19.
This group of 40 will have pre¬
viously been chosen by, the officers
of each of the four classes in the
school out of a larger group which
will be composed of the names of
all students of the junior college
who wish to enter. Nominating
petitions will be available at the
Student Body office in the Student
Union today. They are to be filled
out and returned to the office not
later than Friday, February 12.
From this group will be chosen
the 40 nominees who will appear
on a ballot in the elections.
The 20 students will meet and
decide on a subject, pertaining to
government, and each student will
then write a paper of about 1000
words, and from it prepare a speech
of about five minutes length. The
papers will be judged by a com¬
mittee of Pasadena citizens, and
the 10 best will be selected. The
authors of these 10 will speak to
the Student Body at a future as¬
sembly, and four will be chosen,
one from each class in school.
These four will speak over the
radio at a still later date, and the
winner will be announced. The
Senate trophy will be presented to
him, and each of the three runners-
up will get a medal.
Paul Douglas, a member of the
Senate committee, will speak over
radio station KNX some time dur¬
ing the week of February 12 to 22.
He is to give his address under the
auspices of the National Junior
Chamber of Commerce in connec¬
tion with their Americanism week.

Plans Made
By Air Coeds
Air Coeds, women’s aviation club,
held a meeting yesterday afternoon
in 117-T. Both old and new mem¬
bers were invited. Plans for the
coming semester were discussed,
and a trip to the Grand Central
airport in Glendale was set for a
Saturday in the near future.
Under the advisorship of A. T.
Hay, aeronautics instructor, who is
also adviser of Aero Tech, the
group is looking forward to a
year of “keeping pace with every
day aviation,” according to Ruth
Ba’ttelle, last semester’s president.
“Although time and circum¬
stances have thus far kept the
club from doing any actual flying
as a group, we hope to take at
least one ‘hop’ in the near future,”
said Miss Battelle.
At a meeting held during club
period recently, Miss Corinthia
Shields, sportswoman pilot, ad¬
dressed the club, informally. She
related her own experiences in fly¬
ing between here and South Amer¬
ica, where her home is. She also
told of her first 3000 mile flight
which she made sitting on top of a
box of spark plugs in a tri-motored
ship, which was loaded heavily with
supplies for the nearly inaccessible
country.
Concluding her talk with a boost
for modern commercial and private
flying, Miss Shields declared that
“the safest way in the world to
travel is by air.”

Places Open
To Students
Offering an opportunity for stu¬

soring a Camera day on February
16, according to Anne McGill, edi-
tor-in-ehief. Any snapshot of cam¬
pus views or scenes is welcome,
and the best will be printed in the
June annual.
All students are urged to bring
cameras to school on Camera day
and take casula “shots” of their
friends, buildings, unusual scenes,
poses or anything else suitable for
the life section of the yearbook.
All pictures should be handed in
to the Campus office in 203T, where
they will be judged by members of
the Campus staff.
During the past semester, an
average of at least two calls a week
have come to the business educa¬
tion department here asking for
students to fill full-time positions in
various establishments, according
to Leland M. Pryor, head of the
department.
Within four days last week, four
calls came in for people to fill full¬
time jobs. Three of the calls were
for women students and came from
a printing company, a real estate
company and a scientific laboratory.
One -call, for a young man, was
from a local bank.
“Since the termination of the
holidays, more and more calls have
been coming in and will raise the
former average of two a week,”
said Mr. Pryor. “Another trend
which I have noticed recently is
the rising salary which the em¬
ployer is willing to pay the begin¬
ner.”
Although the department cannot
guarantee to find positions for all
applicants, students who wish to be
placed should have their names on
file in Mr. Pryor’s office. .

Vo-Mag Theme Of “Theatre Arts” Features Color

Featuring a complete review of the modern theatre, Vo-Mag,
tri-annual vocational magazine published by the guidance department,
will appear in its second issue of the school year next Wednesday,
February 10, according to Carter B. Cordner, editor.
Following the general theme of the ‘‘Theatre Arts,” illustrations.

jects to the movie theatre of Hol-
LUeai fjriri lywood, the legitimate theatre of
New York, and the mechanical as-
ГГ1
rh • pects that are necessary to make
i o ne driven each a success.
As the leader of the legitimate
theatre, the magazine pays tribute
to Katharine Cornell, producer and
dramatist, with a portrait as she
appeared in one of her late pro¬
ductions and an intensive review of
her life and stage success, in an
article entitled “First Lady . . .,”
by Jack Burtt, junior college stu¬
dent.
Considered the popular favorites
of Hollywood movie stars, Vo-Mag
has included full page photographs
of Robert Taylor and Joan Craw¬
ford, taken exclusively for the
magazine by Hurrell of Hollywood,
internationally famous photog¬
rapher.
As a literary feature with direct
bearing on the drama and its var¬
ious ramifications, the editors have
chosen an article by Bernard De
Voto, editor of the Saturday Review
of Literature, “Minority Report.”
This article is essentially a protest
of the recent award of the Nobel
Prize to Eugene O’Neill, eminent
playwright, and voices Mr. De Vo¬
te's criticism of O’Neill and his
plays.
The design of the magazine, in¬
cluding lay-outs, page make-up and
varied illustrative drawings has
been under the direction of James
Hawkins, student art editor. A
portfolio of original sketches by
Jane P. Hazenbush, junior college
student, has also been included.
This series is called “Kids,” and
illustrates the fundamental dramat¬
ic ability unconsciously displayed
by children in their various acti¬
vities, according to Hawkins.
“To catch the color of the the¬
atre, we have tried, through the
use of color, pictures and articles
to show what the modem stage and
drama really are through the eyes
of persons who hold positions of
authority in connection with it,”
said Cordner, in commenting on the
magazine.
Zoe Akins, authoress of “The Old
Maid,” winner of the Pulitzer prize,
and local writer, has also contrib¬
uted to the magazine. In her ar¬
ticle, she has listed the qualities
that are essential to writing and
offers comments on writing as a
vocational field.
As a general review of contem¬
porary drama, Mary Virginia In-
loes, chairman of the play selec¬
tion committee of the Pasadena
Community Playhouse, has con->
tributed an article, “Return to Vi¬
tality.” Miss Inloes has recently
