Is Relegated
To Memory
As is alwas the case with hilar¬
ious holidays, they are soon releg¬
ated to memories and history -books,
with only a vague remembrance of
their purpose remaining.
Washington’s birthday for many
proved -to -be only a third day of
rest and fun. For others, it was a
more solemn affair with a patriotic
thought.
Junior college students received!
and impression of this latter point]
of view, however, when an impress¬
ive tree planting ceremony was
held Friday after assembly.
Perhaps a hundred years will
pass with that tree still standing,
giving shade and -comfort to -gen¬
erations of tired students. Will
they know how i-t was planted?
When? That it was set out in hon¬
or of the Washington bi-centennial?
Speakers
When Dr. Albert E. Einstein
(above) speaks tomorrow eve¬
ning at the new Civic Audi¬
torium, his Speech will be
translated from German to
English by Dr. William Ben¬
nett Munro (below).
Two Students
Are Killed in
Auto Wrecks
Two junior college students,
Marion Harris, a senior, and Ar¬
thur Johnson, a freshman, were
counted among last weekend’s traf¬
fic toll when both lost their lives
in automobile accidents.
Miss Harris, 19-year-old daugh¬
ter of Mr. and Mrs. John S. Har¬
ris, 104 Annandale road, met in¬
stant death Monday evening when
the car in which she was riding
collided with another at California
street and San Marino avenue.
Majoring an English, Miss Har¬
ris was assisting in editing manu¬
scripts for “First the Blade,” Cal¬
ifornia college anthology of verse,
at the ti-me of her death. In the
editorial column appears a tribute
paid her by Miss Harriet Mc-Clay,
adviser of Nom De Plume, which
is publishing the volume, and of
which Miss Harris was a member.
Victim of a head-on collision on
Newport Beach highway, young
Johnson, son of Mrs. R. B. John¬
son, 2493 Sterling place, Altadena,
died -shortly after the accident Fri¬
day night while being taken to the
Santa Ana hospital.
