List Announced
The list of candidates, released
by Kenneth Collins, chief justice,
and checked for eligibility, is as
follows:
Sophomore class: vice-president,
Hollis Adams, Bernice John and
Muriel Stevens; secretary, Ramona
Martin; treasurer, Don Ackerman,
Julius Hoffman, Barbara Patten
and Willard Smith; A. W. S. cabi¬
net (vote for. two), Barbara Lom¬
bard, Jacqueline McClymont, Sally
Monsen and Mary Ann Moss.
Junior class: vice-president,
Clyde Carriker and Karl Roulac;
secretary, Elizabeth Moody and
Nathalie Rice; treasurer, Beatrice
Barnett; A. W. S. cabinet (vote for
two,) Billie Crain and Alyss Greer.
Minor Officers To Be Chosen
The desirability of the minor
class elections is that they afford
both new students and late en¬
trants ample opportunity to apply
for offices and to become acquainted
with the various candidates, so as
to register preferences for their
respective class representatives. Al¬
though all other classes have
chosen their major officers, the
freshmen will choose their presi¬
dent at this election.
Applicants for the various offices
were required to turn in their ap¬
plication cards by Friday, Febru¬
ary 12, at the latest, and from
these the applicants’ records were
checked by the chief justice and
his committee for eligibility. This
election is expected to represent a
greater majority of the student
body than did either of the previ¬
ous preliminary or final elections
held last semester, because of the
fact that the students are assem¬
bled in a meeting at the time and
they are voting for candidates
with whom they are better ac-
quainted and with whom they will
have to work in their separate
classes. At each of the previous
elections a mere 10 per cent of the
student body was represented, ac¬
cording to Collins.
Freshman and senior candidates
were not checked for eligibility at
Chronicle deadline.
Assemblies On Last
Friday
With separate assemblies for
both the AWS and AMS, last Fri¬
day morning assembly period of¬
fered a variety of entertainment for
those students attending either
meeting.
The AWS assembly, which was
in charge of Ellen Tximbard, AWS
president, and held in the men’s
gym, featured a discussion of "My
Ideal Girl” by four of the outstand¬
ing men in the student body. This
group was composed of Sam
Schwartz, student body president
for the past semester; Pat Paddock,
present student body president;
Jack Stocking, senior class presi¬
dent: and Paul Douglas, past AMS
president.
Board Is Installed
Also at this assembly the AWS
board installation was conducted by
Miss Lombard, while the “Melody
Maids,” a string ensemble, and
Ruth Haworth and Lucille Fahrney,
marimba duo, contributed the rest
of the program.
In the AMS meeting, which was
held in the Horrell field bleachers,
and presided over by Vernon Leif.
AMS president, a vaudeville act
from the Fanchon and Marco re¬
view in Los Angeles was featured.
Included in the act were Bill Passo,
fancy skater, who has appeared
here once before, and “The Bar-
lows,” a novelty act.
Previous to this, Head Coach
William K. Dunn presented a talk
to the group on the athletic depart¬
ment, and a short address was
made by Dean of Men James P.
O'Mara.

lecture, according to Miss Mildred
Wellborn, Alpha adviser, will deal
with that work.
An election of officers for the

FOR LATIN PARTY
Attired in Roman togas and tu¬

Talbott’s Cicero and Latin classes
met last Saturday evening for a
"Roman’s Valentine Party” at the
home of Florabelle Sleeth.
Mixing pleasure with lessons, the
participants exchanged original
valentines written in Latin, and at¬
tempted to carry on all conversa¬
tion in the ancient tongue. With
decorations, costumes and the Re¬
man games that were played, the
students were realistically carried
back 2000 years to the time when
Rome was in its prime, according
to Miss Talbott.
Seventy Speakers Are
Defeated, As Pasadena
Debaters Snatch Titles
- ♦ -
State- Wide Oratory And Debate Invitation Contest,
At College Of Pacific, Sees Pasadenans Bring
Three Trophies Home After Winning Streak
- ♦ -
By Harold Shafer
Nosing out some 70 odd other contestants, representing junior
colleges a.nd colleges from the length and breadth of the state, four of
Pasadena junior college's eight representatives carried off nearly every
honor and completely dominated the large field of entrants in the state¬
wide oratory and debate invitational tournament held at the College
~ * °f the Pacific at Stockton last
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
February 11 to 13.
Not to be satisfied with the Pa-
cific Coast debate championship,
which was captured for the junior
college by Pasadena’s crack de¬
bate team, George Hatch and
Franklin Patterson, two other rep¬
resentatives of this school placed
in their respective events, when
Helen Vaughn won the Pacific
coast women’s oratory contest and
Raymond Simpson placed third in
the men’s oratory division.
The question of the debate was
“Resolved: That Congress should
be empowered to fix minimum
wages and maximum hours for in¬
dustry.”
Three Cups Brought Back
Three gold loving cups were
brought back to Pasadena with
Pasadena college in first and sec-
arid and Pasadena junior college in
third place in men’s oratory. De¬
layed because of the train' wreck
of the “Owl,” the junior college
representatives were five hours late
and therefore unable to compete
in the extemporaneous contest. The
women’s debate and extemporan¬
eous contests were won bv Line
Beach. ' h
In the debate tourney it was nec¬
essary for Hatch, who is a junior,
and Patterson, a senior, to go
through about ten brackets to win.
Hatch is on his secontl year of de¬
bating and Patterson his third.
Is Previous Winner
Last year, Patterson reached the
?егП!п^а
6 in the same tournament.
In 1J36, he ami Carl Deisenroth,
formerly of this school and now
attending Stanford, won the Pi
Kappa Delta tournament at Red¬
lands. Hatch, teamed with Phil
Cartwright, won the Los Angeles
junior college tournament in 1936.
Roy Huggins, senior, and Cart¬
wright composed the other debate

Dance Fetes
Birthday Of
Washington
Civic Auditorium Scene
Of Annual Affair, As
Groups Cooperate
Observing the birthday of
George Washington, the annual
Washington’s Birthday dance is
slated to be held Monday evening,
February 22, at the Civic auditor¬
ium, according to Ellen Lombard,
president of the A. W. S., which
co-sponsors the dance each year
with the A. M. S.
Bob Mohr and his orchestra will
furnish the music, totaling their
ninth performance for a junior
college event during the school
year so far. “We have chosen Bob
Mohr because his aggregation
seems to meet with universal favoi
and popularity among junior col¬
lege students,” said Miss Lom¬
bard.
Dance Holds Interest
“We feel sure we have something
to offer those who enjoy dances,”
concluded Miss Lombard. “We are
holding it in a large hall, and the
orchestra is one which should in¬
terest any student.”
Co-operating this year on the
plans for the dance are both the
men and women students. This is
the first time such an arrangement
has been worked out concerning
this particular event. “Although
this arrangement is an unusual
one, it was felt that the two groups
working together could afford to
present a far better dance than
would be possible otherwise,” said
Vernon Leif, president of the men
students.
Bids for the dance, which have
already been printed, have been
worked out in a color scheme of
red, white and blue, appropriate to
the occasion. They are now on sale
in the Student Union building at
25 cents each.
NEWMAN GROUP

In celebration of Lincoln's birth¬

coln park.
The drome was reserved exclu¬
sively for the Pasadena junior col¬
lege chapter of the Newman club
from 9:30 until midnight. Accord¬
ing to Bob Wager, president of the
local group, the party was pro¬
nounced a success, both from a fi¬
nancial and a social standpoint.
