Pasadena Still Has Chance to
Championship by Winning
This Time
Resolved, That the Closed Shop
is Better than the Open Shop in
Promoting the Interests of Indus¬
try, is the subject chosen for a de¬
bate which will be held at the
Santa Ana High School on Friday
evening, February 16, at 8 o’clock.
Pasadena will uphold the negative
and will be represented by Michael
Dolan and John Adams who have
been coached by Murry G. Hill,
member of the English department.
Busses will be hired to carry the
Pasadena rooters to Santa Ana.
The fare will be one dollar a round
trip. Reservations should be made
as soon as possible with James Mc¬
Cormack, commissioner of debating,
who has charge of the transporta¬
tion.
Although Pasadena lost the last
debate, the margin of points was
so close that Pasadena is still elig¬
ible for the championship, and this
debate will decide whether or not
this school can win supreme honors
this ypar.
To assist the team in learning as
many of their opponents’ argu¬
ments as possible, practice debates
have been arranged by Everett
Shilling, Irene Pridham, Bernadine
Hand, Ernest Turner, Datus Smith,
and Louis Bennett.
PEOPLES’ CHOICE TO
BE PRODUCED SOON
Because “Carmen” is the popular
choice of Pasadena music lovers, it
will be the opera given by the San
Carlo Company on the night of
February 24, according to an an¬
nouncement given a Chronicle re¬
porter Tuesday, by Miss Teressa
Cloud, secretary of the Pasadena
Music and Art Association. “Car¬
men” will be sung by Alice Gentle,
dramatic soprano of the Metropol¬
itan Opera House.
When the San Carlo Opera Com¬
pany was secured to' substitute for
the cancelled date of the Ukrainian
Chorus, the public was invited to
mail their choice of an opera to
Miss Cloud.
As the third event on the Music
and Arts’ course, Feodor Chaliapin,
sensational Russian basso sings in
the P. H. S. auditorium tonight.
ALL CLUBS MUST BE
REGISTERED AT ONCE
Officers and members of the
clubs for this semester should be
registered at once with Miss Maude
Oliver, chairman of the club com¬
mittee, room 221-C.
A notice is sent to the club of¬
ficers every semester asking them
to register club members and offi¬
cers immediately after the club
holds its election.
This registration is for the pro¬
tection of students, and is there¬
fore to be strictly enforced.
MARIONETTE ACTORS TO
GIVE SHOW HERE SOON
Uncle Wiggily and Rip Van
Winkle are to be staged here on
March 10, by Tony Sarg’s famous
Marionettes.
The former will be given in the
afternoon and the latter in the
evening.
The proceeds are to go toward
buying of pictures for the corridor
of the main building.
Tony Sarg is an illustrator, car¬
toonist, and creator of marionettes.
He first became interested in man¬
ikins through his grandmother’s
collection of toys.
His imaginiation was fired by a
phrase written by Dorothy Neville
lamenting the decay of the marion¬
ette stage. He immediately start-
td to work on his manikins which
have proved so successful and en¬
tertaining.
It will be rembered that Mr. Sarg
performed in P. H. S. last year and
was very enthusiastically received.
FEATURES ADORN
ERE ’23 ANNUAL
Will you pardon me if I begin
with an ancient saying?
“This year’s Annual will be the
best ever.” Now this sounds rath¬
er monotonous and you may be in¬
clined to think I am kidding, but
just you dig some of the dark
secrets from the editor as I have
done and you’ll see for yourself
that the ’23 Annual will far sur¬
pass — well let’s go on.
Edwin Clark, small in stature,
but not in intellect, has surrounded
himself with a staff of twenty-one
students. He believes in getting
started early and has his staff hard
at work, having accomplished much
already. All the Senior pictures
have been taken and the list of
probable graduates will be on hand
in a day or so. The Senior section
this year will contain the pictures
of all the graduates but will be
minus the attempts at wit which
formerly accompanied them, such
as, Joe Google; he loves the girls.
These supposedly humorous epi¬
taphs are getting worn out. In
place there will appear a sparkling
humorous section on the stately
grads that surpasses all human — -
but what’s the use, we can’t give it
away. Suffice it to say, art, typo¬
graphy, philosophy and wit all take
part. Besides this, other new and
original ones are to be introduced.
I know a string of attractive things
which are going to appear in this
year’s Annual, but I’m not going
to tell. He wants to keep them a
secret.
You have all seen large college
year-books; well the P. H. S. An¬
nual will have many of them beat¬
en. Beaten in size, appearance,
features, tone and color. Now take
all this I have been telling you to
heart, for it’s true.
A SNOOPING REPORTER
PICTURES ON MILITARY
SUBJECTS BEING SHOWN
Because the rainy days make it
impossibe for the R.
О.
T. C. to
drill on the field, Col. Barlow has
J secured from the War Department
a set of films which are shown in
the auditorium by the use of the
moving picture machine, which Mr.
Clifton has consented to operate on
rainy days.

TICKET SCALPERS
BEWARE!
“I don’t think it’s so, do
you?
“I don’t believe it, either.”
Two Freshmen girls stood on
the front steps gesticulating em¬
phatically.
“Well I don’t believe it,” re¬
peated the first.
Just then William F. Ewing,
principal of P. H. S., descended
the steps.
“Here comes Mr. Ewing, let’s
ask him whether it’s true,”
spoke up the second.
Mr. Ewing was consulted.
“Do we have to pay for our
assembly seats?” the two
chorused.
William F. Ewing in an of¬
ficial announcement states that
assembly seats are free to all.
Ticket scalpers must find a
more legitimate means of rais¬
ing ten cents and henceforth
must not prey on the Frosh.
Work was outlined by Miss Edith
Witherell, faculty adviser of the
Ready for College Club, at the last
Student Council meeting.
The purpose of this club is to in¬
terest students in going to college
and being ready to go when the
time comes.

up their incomplete grades as soon
as possible and become members of
the Ready for College Club wheth¬
er they participate in the activities
or not.
“Cinderella” will be brought to
life tomorrow morning at the Pas¬
adena Theatre by the Junior Com¬
munity Players. Garnet Holmes,
nationally known theatre director,
will speak. All persons interested
in dramatics are taking this oppor¬
tunity to hear and to meet him.
Miss Edith Wolf, member of the
English department, will take a
group of her Senior students. •
The Junior players offer a pro¬
gram designed to interest young
and old, each Saturday morning at
ten o’clock. “Cinderella” will be of
special interest because the cast is
built from P. H. S. students.
Through the efforts of Miss
Wolfe, the Junior Community
Players agree to forgo their per¬
formance on March 10, in order
that the Marionette matinee will
have a capacity house. The sacri¬
fice of the Junior Players has won
the appreciation of P. H. S. faculty
members and students many of
whom are attending the morning
productions.

day morning.
Three Classes of Journalism
Formed; University Re¬
quirements Met
ENROLMENT CONTINUES
Substitutions Are Acceptable
for American Literature
or Junior English
Due to the popularity of the new
journalism course in P. H. S., the
classes in that subject are gradu¬
ally growing to maximum attend¬
ance. Beginning journalism may
be substituted for 11-1 English and
will give the same credit as the
latter. To take beginning journal¬
ism the student must have recom¬
mended grades in the first two
years of English. 11-2 journalism
may be substituted for 11-2 Eng¬
lish or American Literature.
A number of students who could
not make transfers to second period
were disappointed. However, it is
announced that five more students
will be accepted in the third period
journalism class. Only students
who have credit for 11-1 English
may enroll. This ’ course covers
current journalism, the technique
of magazine building, and feature,
writing and may be substituted for
American Literature or 11-2 Eng¬
lish.
Colleges are beginning to rec¬
ognize the important position
journalism holds in the world of
business, and most schools of rank
have an adequate journalism
course. The large high schools are
establishing departments of this
course, and Pasadena was one of
the first in this development. “It
is a wonder that so valuable a sub¬
ject has been overlooked so long,’1,
said J. P. von Grueningen, head of
the Journalism department, when
asked by a reporter for a com¬
ment.
In Pasadena High School there
are at present three journalism
classes, an 11-1 class, under Miss
Snyder, an 11-2 class, and an ad¬
vanced class under Mr. von Gruen¬
ingen. This is exclusive of the
staff writers of the three publica¬
tions, who meet twice a week for
regular journalism instruction.
Most of these students have prev¬
iously taken the subject. In the six
printing classes under the direction
of Mr. Morris and Mr. Mehers,
training in the practical work of
the department of journalism is
offered.
The Advisory schedule for the
week of February 12-16, given out
by W. A. Newlin, chairman of the
advisory committee, is as follows:
Monday: Student Council repre¬
sentatives will explain news con¬
veyed to them through the Com¬
missioners, which is the constitu¬
tion for this semester.
Tuesday: Junior meeting first
advisory; Senior meeting, second
assembly.
Wednesday : Honor Society
meeting. Literary and Dramatic
clubs meetings.
Thursday: Assembly, by Muso-
lites Club.
