DEATH VISITS TIE
JACKSON II
LATE YESTERDAY
Word was received late yester¬
day afternoon of the death of Mr.
George Jackson, father of Helen
and Ruth, who are well-known
Pasadena High School students.
Mr. Jackson was a landscape
gardner residing at 420 N. Men¬
tor Ave. to which address he had
moved with his family but a week
ago. He had been ill for some
time.
The many friends of Helen and
Ruth are profoundly grieved at
their bereavement and are unan¬
imous in extending their deepest
sympathy.
ITEM WILL BE
OUT MONDAY
Monday, advisory period, the
time, 25 cents, the price, public¬
ation chairmen, the agents, and
you, the buyer. That in brief
is the story of the next “Item”
distribution.
The second number is a win¬
ner and there is no question
about that.
If the wit and wisdom of some bud¬
ding P. H. S. journalists, assisted by
some printer’s ink, paper and some
engravers’ cuts counts for anything,
the coming number of the ITEM will
be more than an itemized account of
the activities of P. H. S. In addition
to this prospect can be added the
directory, which will contain the
names and addresses of every stu¬
dent in the school, together with a
record of his school work.
The contents of the ITEM will be
interpretative articles on school sub¬
jects, feature stories, editorials with
a kick, jokes that are jokes and
everything else that goes to make up
a first class school magazine.
Frances Wihlon, as acting editor of
the ITEM, has worked diligently and
earnestly, to have this number ap¬
pear as one of the best of the current
year. On her appointment to the
editorship of the Annual, Robert
Snyder was appointed ITEM editor
for the remainder of the year.
SPECIAL FAILS TO
APPEAR MONDAY
Of course you let the regular num¬
ber of cars go by. Then when you
waited and waited, a funny feeling
that it was getting late seized you.
The “special” had not come. And
was not coming. So you grabbed the
next thing that came along, which
was what many others had done, hav¬
ing felt the same way.
Thus a great crowd of tardy stu¬
dents besieged the attendance office
and stamped it. Everyone had the
same excuse, which was “There
wasn’t any ‘special.’ ”
The P. E. authorities thought be¬
cause it was a bank holiday that
there would be no school, so it was
a joke on them as well as the stu¬
dents.
JUNIOR CLASS MEETING
IS HELD ON WEDNESDAY
In order that Juniors might sign
up under different necessary commit¬
tees to help produce the class play a
meeting was held on Wednesday to
discuss the work. The four important
committees are advertising, house,
business, and stage.
Several students will be disap¬
pointed because no vaudeville will be
had this time, but the majority of
votes were for a class play. “Clar¬
ence” by Booth Tarkington was the
play chosen.
A last appeal was made to pay the
class dues which are 40 cents.
VALENTI PARTY
JOYFUL EVENT TO
MANYNEW GIRLS
Combination of Two Parties
Successfully Carried on
by Those in Charge
NEW GIRLS GREETED
Committees Are Rewarded
for Faithful Work Done
for Girls’ League
Ask any of the new girls how they
enjoyed the party given for them in
the Music Hall yesterday and they
will all give the same answer —
“Wasn’t it great?”
The affair was given to welcome
the new girls and to give them the
chance to become acquainted with
others. To do this, games, otherwise
“icebreakers,” were merrily Indulged
in by the crowd. Ice cream with little
red hearts tucked in was a pleasing
sight to the .hungry merrymakers.
The hall was decorated with large
red paper hearts.
This party was a combined affair
of the semi-annual party for the
freshmen girls and the semi-annual
party for the new Junior and Senior
girls. Margaree Tefft and Norma Si-
mank, who were in charge of the
affair, deserve much credit for their
loving help.
The girls who put on the “big
stunt” and who are also to be com¬
plimented are Estelle Bassett, Ma-

TERCENTARY IF
TO IE CELERRATED
By the launching of a broad pro¬
gram celebrating the tercentenary of
the birth of Moliere, a great French
dramatist, the French-speaking peo¬
ple of Los Angeles and vicinity plan
to increase the value and scope of
work in French in this section of the
country.
The program will include scenes
from Moliqre and deMusset, fencing,
music and a pageant.
The pageant, which is the main
feature of the program, will be the
impersonation of the cities of Alsace-
Lorraine by girls selected from the
French departments of the various
high schools in Southern California.
The girls will be dressed in the peas¬
ant costume of the respective cities
which they will represent. A prize of
$50 will be awarded to the French
Department of the School providing
the “best costumed” city in this pag¬
eant. Louise Mitchell, a member of
the fourth year French class, is the
selection from P. H. S. to represent
a “costumed city” in the pageant.
There will be no speaking in these
tableau vivants and only one re¬
hearsal will be held.
The French-speaking citizens of
Los Angeles are establishing a fund
at this time for the benefit of stu¬
dents of French in the public schools
desirous of continuing their French
studies later on. One-third of the
net proceeds of this celebration will
be turned over to this fund. Another
third will be given to the French De¬
partment of the Los Angeles County
High Schools for the furtherance of
the study of French.

ORGANIZATIONS MUST
REGISTER NEXT WEEK
That very few of the school organ¬
izations have re-registered this sem¬
ester, is the statement made by Miss
Maude Oliver, chairman of the com¬
mittee on organizations. This may be
because the members of the organiza¬
tions do not realize that even if they
registered last semester, they must
do it again this semester.
If the constitutions were turned in
last semester it is not necessary to
turn them in again. There are, how¬
ever, two things which must be hand¬
ed in. There must be a list contain¬
ing the names of the officers, and the
organization adviser.
Miss Oliver asks that these lists be
brought to her in Room 221C during
Advisory Period next week.
Although the organization was reg¬
istered last semester, it must re¬
register this semester.
WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY
WILL BE LEGAL HOLIDAY
That Washington’s Birthday will
be a holiday has been delnitely an¬
nounced by Miss Hawes of the At¬
tendance Department.
Many questions have been asked
about February . 22, but it has been
decided for a certainty that it will be
a legal holiday for the Pasadena
schools.
COMMISSIONERS PASS
NEW RULING ON CARDS
At a recent meeting of the P. H. S.
Commissioners it was decided that
the habit some students have of bor¬
rowing Student Body cards must be
stopped. If a card is left at home on
game days, no permit will be given
for entrance at gate, but numbers of
lost cards should be turned over to
the Commissioner of Finance so that
the Annual may be secured at the
end of the year. Also if a second card
is purchased and the first is found,
no refund will be made.

'll ANNUAL TO BE
Various Phases of Work Ex¬
hibited by Students of
That Department
PRINCIPAL SPEAKS
Seniors Urged to Aid in
Membership Campaign
By Treasurer
The Senior meeting held last Mon¬
day during advisory period' was for
the purpose of selecting the Senior
pictures and deciding whom the 1922
Annual should be dedicated to. J. P.
O’Mara, assistant principal, is to have
the honor.
John Rowland, president, introduced
W. F. Ewing, principal, who spoke
on graduation and college require¬
ments. He told of the requirements
of many colleges both here and in the
East and urged all those who had any
doubts as to their credits to see Miss
Benton immediately. Mary McLen¬
nan, secretary of the class, then
showed the class the types of pic¬
tures submitted by the different pho¬
tographers and explained the price
per dozen of each. Group one was
finally decided on, the price being $5
per dozen. The photographers, Hiller
and Mott of Pasadena, have offered
fifty dollars for the first copy of the
Annual. This was not the highest
offer received, but the Seniors decid¬
ed that a better type of work on their
pictures was more desirable than re¬
ceiving more for the first Annual.
They have also offered to emboss the
folders of the pictures with the High
School or Senior Class design if the
Students so desire.
Fred Switzer announced the inter-
class membership campaign that
started last Tuesday, and urged
every Senior to get behind his class
and pay his dues. Three prizes are
being offered:: first prize, $10; sec¬
ond prize, $7, and third prize, $3.
John Rowland announced that a
Senior Play committee had been ap¬
pointed to decide on a play for pre¬
sentation in the spring. A Class Day
committee, that was already planning
one of the largest class days in the
history of P. H. S., and a Senior Gift
committee to decide what token the
class of ’22 should present to the
school on graduation.
IN
ERESTING TALK
Q
L
The students who attended the
Thursday assembly had the privilege
of hearing a very constructive and
interesting talk by Monseignor Mc¬
Carthy, rector of St. Andrew’s
Church, on the Relationship Between
Teachers and Pupils.
In introducing Monseignor Mc¬
Carthy Helen Jackson mentioned his
recent travels in Europe and stated
that he had always been interested in
education and the welfare of young
people.
“In a sense,” the speaker pointed
out, “the school is the student’s home.
You are alone in this auditorium as
a family circle about your fireplace.
I am happy to be a member of your
circle today,” said Monsiegneur Mc¬
Carthy in his opening remarks.
He spoke of the duties and privi¬
leges of the teachers and students.
Since children have a threefold duty
to their parents, they should also
love, reverence and obey their teach¬
ers as the representatives of the par¬
ents themselves.
He spoke words of encouragement
to the teachers and pointed out that
it was God’s commandment to train
the heart as well as the intellect.
The assembly was opened by three
lively cornet solos by Evelyn Schloss-
er, of the class of ’22. Helen Jackson,
commissioner' of debating, presided.
OF STATE SOCIETY
At a meeting of the Student
Branch of the California Scholarship
Federation, held in Los Angeles last
Saturday, Wallace Jayred, Commis¬
sioner of Athletics, was chosen as
temporary secretary. The High
School feels greatly honored that its
representative at the convention was
the choice for this position. Mr. Sey¬
more of Long Beach was made tem¬
porary president.
The meeting was called to draw up
a constitution for the Federation. It
was decided that all the students of
the Honor Societies in the schools of
this organization are to be members.
These members are to elect a repre¬
sentative from their schools. The rep¬
resentatives will meet at an annual
banquet and elect the officers for the
following year.
Students from Anaheim, Chaffee
Union, Bakersfield, Manual Arts, Los
Angeles High, and Pasadena, were at
the convention to represent their
schools. It is probable that these
same, schools will send pupils to the
next meeting to be held.
GIRLS’ LEAGUE CABINET
HOLDS FIRST MEETING
Taking a survey of the work to be
accomplished this semester, the Girls’
League Cabinet, composed of Mar¬
garet Seares, President, Margaree
Tefft, Vice President, Norma Simank,
Secretary, and Katherine Wormell,
Treasurer, last Monday met in the
office of Nellie Greene Clarke, Dean
of Girls.
The meeting was called to order by
the President, Miss Seares. The offi¬
cers decided to give a tea March 3 in
honor of the Faculty. Margaret
Seares discussed with the girls the
plans for this semester and many
helpful suggestions were given.
JUNIORS WORK HARD
ON CLEVER CLASS PLAY
If the auditorium is not filled to
the last seat on the night of March
10, it certainly will not be the fault of
the Junior class. Every member of
the class is doing his best to boost his
class play.
The $lay, “Clarence,” by Booth
Tarkington, is one of the most clever
of the present day. It is the type of
play that appeals to both “grown¬
ups” and students. Booth Tarking¬
ton is noted as a humorist and in
“Clarence” he upholds his well
earned reputation. The play is full
of dramatic incidents and clever lines
which hold the interest through the
entire play.
The cast has not yet been chosen,
but there are so far two people for
each character. Because of this sys¬
tem there is a great deal of rivalry,
each person trying to make the
“lead” in his particular part.
Miss Elizabeth Keppie, who is
directing the play, expects to be able
to announce the cast soon. Even
when the cast is definitely chosen,
each character will have an under¬
study. Thus, if any member of the
cast falls down in his studies, or be¬
comes ill, the understudy will take
his part, and the play will go on.
FUNDS FOR AFTERNOON
MOVIE EXDEED $90
That the committee on entertain¬
ment has been working hard is evi¬
dent from the fact that $91.11 was
raised at the recent afternoon movie.
No one seems to know where the ex¬
tra one cent came from since the
tickets were only ten cents apiece.
Fifty dollars of this money went to
the lightweight team while the rest
helped to pay the debt for the com¬
missioners’ desks.
The committee plans to have one
entertainment a month. Those to
whom much credit is due are Mary
Margaret Ambrose, Commissioner of
Entertainment, Marguerite Covert,
chairman, Esther Welch, Harold
Hines, and Burt Beverly.
Bank customer: I want to rent a
safety deposit box; what sizes do they
come in?
Cashier: Pints and quarts.
