blywoman; Dr. Daniel F. Fox, for¬

DR. HARBESON
IS WELCOMED
AT ASSEMBLY
Principal Recalls Standards,
Traditions of Student
Citizenship
DALE ROE OFFICIATES
Mast, Dagger, Honor Group
Sponsors First Meet of
Semester
Recalling traditions and stan¬
dards of worthwhile citizenship,
Dr. John W. Harbeson, principal,
was welcomed as speaker in the
assembly this morning, sponsored
semi-annually by the Order of
Mast and Dagger, highest junior
college honorary society.
Dale Roe, newly elected presi¬
dent of the organization presided,
and following the introduction of
the other officers, Margaret John¬
son, secretary, and Bob Coop,
treasurer, presented the speaker.
Service Keynote
Dr. Harbeson mentioned that ser¬
vice was the keynote of Mast and
Dagger, and that while the group
does not attempt to carry out an
organized program of work, it re¬
cognizes all outstanding achieve¬
ments of students. Candidates for
membership in this organization
are nominated and elected by the
members themselves, subject to the
dean’s approval in regard, to the
citizenship record of the individu¬
al.
Conspicuous work in any office,
student activity, Chronicle or Cam¬
pus service is recognized by this
society.
Dating from the spring of 1925,
the group was founded at a break¬
fast meeting held on the lawn of
the Bleeker House, and attended
by 12 students outstanding in ac¬
tivities of the school. The name
can be traced, from the old Pirate
emblem of the former Pasadena
junior college.
Install Officers
New student body officers elect¬
ed last semester were also install¬
ed during this morning’s assembly.
George H. Meredith, assistant su¬
perintendent of schools, officiated,
while Ben Berning, president, Bar¬
ry Simmons, chief justice, Virgin¬
ia Keim, A. W. S. president, Lam¬
bert Westling, A. M. S. head, and
the class representatives Edward
Merchant, Stanley Blush, and Don
Sheldon took the oath of office.
Further entertainment arranged
by Mast and Dagger included pop¬
ular selections sung by Stanley
Meacham, Dick Martin, Erwin Bea¬
dle, and Halburt Root; a duet by
two marimba players from the
Bulldog band; songs by Mary No-
vis White, and a violin solo, by
Abram Goldfarm, accompanied by
Bill White.
TEAM MEETS
Chemistry team candidates are
meeting every Monday and Wed¬
nesday from 3-to-5 o’clock in room
208-E. 0. G. Dressier, chairman of
a committee to select six of these
applicants for the contest next
May, heads the discussions.
This program of aiding those
with physical impairments is avail¬
able in recognition of the fact that
anyone handicapped requires a
little more educating to give him
equal opportunity, and such train¬
ing is considered a scholarship, ac¬
cording to Supervisor Smith.
Students wishing to avail them¬
selves of such services may secure
full information from Dr. John W.
Harbeson, principal.
Technocracy
Debate Topic
To send a debate team to Du¬
luth, Minnesota for the national
Phi Rho Pi convention, members
of the local chapter are planning
a word battle over the subject
of “Technocracy” February 20.
Melvin Nelson and Lubert
Sanderhoff will present affirma¬
tive arguments, while Paul Jones
aand Milford Fish will negate.
That ubiquitous subject, “Tech¬
nocracy,” will again be in evi¬
dence during the impending de¬
bate team tryouts, as a short
speech must be prepared on that
theme by aspiring upper division
arguers.
Further information may be
had from Coach M. F. Hoerger
or from the secretary of oral
arts.
SET DEADLINE
FOR CONTEST
Prize Play to Be Presented
In School Assembly
After Judginb
Today at 3 o’clock is the dead¬
line set by the Pasadena chapter
of Delta Psi Omega, national hon¬
orary dramatic fraternity, for its
annual one-act play writing con¬
test, according to Miss Elizabeth
E. Keppie, director of the local
chapter.
See Miss Keppie
All entrants are urged to see
Miss Keppie today in room 19-C
to hand in their manuscripts. Plays
must be laid in one scene only,
with preferably not more than five
characters. Any plot suitable for
presentation in the regular Friday
assembly will be acceptable.
“Caught in the Act,” by Mar¬
jory Ray, was the winner in 1931.
Bernard Melekian, Don Mclsaacs,
Ruth Walters, Ruth Baldwin, and
John Krumm made up the cast. In
1932, “The Jade Serpent,” by Dor¬
othy Waterhouse, took honors, but
a conflict in dates made its presen¬
tation impossible.
Will Announce
This year's prize play will be an¬
nounced as soon as the judges have
considered the manuscripts. Judges
will be chosen from members of
the junior college faculty.
Initiation ceremonies for eight
new prospective members will be

cers of the local chapter. Several
social affairs will take place as
soon as the initiation period is
completed.
Librarian to Test
New Regulations
Although the new library regu¬
lations on fines has been in effect
for a week, it is the belief of the
staff that the rules will have to be
tested for at least a monthin order
to prove their success or failure.
Miss Winifred Skinner, head li¬
brarian, urges both old and new
students to read the rules and so
avoid fines.
Members of the International
Question Mark, will be pleased to
know that Major-General David P.
Barrows, political science profes¬
sor and former president of the
University of California, will be
the speaker on “America’s Interest
in World War Debts,” at Eliot
