PROMINENT MEN TALK
Owing to growth of P. H. S. in the
past few years and the ever increas¬
ing problems arising among students,
it has been necessary to devise a sys¬
tem for the safeguarding of the fu¬
ture of students in P. H. S. As a re¬
sult the new Service Point, and Merit
System has been established.
This system is the culmination of
many ideas arrived at by the admin¬
istration staff, after conferring with
many supervisors of schools and au¬
thorities on education in Los Angeles
county. The administration staff has
worked this plan out from all angles,
particularly from the angle of fair¬
ness to the students.
It was found that detention and
extra hours were not correcting or
gaining anything. The idea is to get
rid of punishment for minor offences
and put the students on their own
merits for the things which they are
responsible to P. H. S. for. Contin¬
ued and habitual tardiness might
lead to cutting school, lying or steal¬
ing. If the small things are checked
the larger ones will take care of
themselves. Careless tardiness means
being more than live minutes late to
class. Care will be taken to discrim¬
inate between careful and careless
students and discretion will be used
in the administering of points.
JUNIOR JOLLIES ENJOYED
BY CLASS MEMBERS
One event of interest which started
off the Christmas holidays was the
Junior Party. It was held in the
Neighborhood Clubhouse, December
16.
The program, which was given by
members of the class," was very in¬
teresting. Those who participated
were: Charles Daniels, impersonat¬
ing Will Rogers; Eva Puffer, who en¬
tertained with a clown dance, and
Drusilla Simons with an oriental
dance; Archie Eckdale who did slight
of hand tricks, and Santa Claus was
impersonated by Leon “Pat” Martin.
A one-act play entitled “Neverthe¬
less” was presented by Adelaide
Mack, Donald MacAfee, and Oliver
Prickett. Between events an orches¬
tra composed of Harold Porter. Paul
Cromwell, Scndder Nash, and Jack
Runyon, played jazz.
Refreshments of ice-cream, cookies
and punch were served.
The class was well represented and
a number of the faculty were also
present.
When the present Seniors of
P. H. S. were Freshmen, and
most of them can remember
things that far back, there were
big doings on what is now Hor-
rell Field. The “big doings” was
a circus and in the mind of every
Senior, who was a Freshman at
that time, rests a pleasant recol¬
lection of that joyful afternoon
spent in eating candy and watch¬
ing the faculty prance around in
odd costumes and fantastic gar¬
ments, while all the students
were gay. Wild men were there
in the side-shows with bells on,
and hair growing out of then-
eyebrows. Electrical wonders,
and a magic mathematician,
trick bicycle riders and the rest
of the circus retinue were all
there.
Coming Again
A similar day is planned
for next week. That day is the
thirteenth of the month and is
Friday, but to those in charge
superstittion is nothing. A carn¬
ival of bubbling joy which will
even surpass the circus of 1918
is planned for that Friday. School
will close at noon and from 12 :30
o’clock to 5:00 “fun” will be the
password.
It is expected that each club
of P. H. S. will have at least one
sideshow and the combined ef¬
forts' of many students will add
to the attraction at the main
“tent.” Each sideshow will be a
veritable vaudeville act in itself.
Already concessions have been
granted to those who wish to put
on minstrel stunts, electric nov¬
elties, and dramatic productions.
Eats Big Thing
With the main affair will be
exhibitions of boxing, faculty
stunts, clowns, and EATS. The
sideshows, main show and other
attractions fade away into ob¬
livion when these “eats” are
brought to the front. Lolly pops,
hot dogs, home made candy, ice
cream — oh, everything that
makes the little boys leave home
and join the circus. It is going
to be a big event — and who can
refuse a carnival when the gen-
( eral admission price is only
twenty-five cents, two dimes and
one nickel, twenty-five pennies,
or five thousand Chinese yen?
The cashiers will even accept five
nickels, that is if one does not
have a hole punched through the
middle.
Black Manager
The entire incident, affair,
event, and occasion is under the
general management of Charles
Black, Commissioner of Boys’
Welfare. It is not an idea con¬
ceived by this honorable gentle¬
man, no offense to him, but by
the commissioners as a whole.
The assistants to Charles B. are
Wat Brown, business; Esther
Welch, “eats,” Max Colwell, pub¬
licity ; John Rowland, sideshows ;
Oliver Prickett, main show; W.
W. Martin, construction; B. W.
Howard, lighting.
The purpose of the carnival is
to get money to buy a linotype
machine for the printshop.
All High Schools South of
Fresno Will Meet at
Beach City
. The Student Press of Southern
California will meet at Long Beach
High School, January 12. This date
was chosen in order that the rush and
excitement of the holiday season
might be avoided.
All schools south of Fresno are
members of this association. The
membership fee is $1.50 per semester
and is payable at the opening of each
convention.
A very interesting program has
Ijeen planned for the entertainment
of the journalists, and includes talks
on special features of journalistic
work by prominent writer's.
BEALS GRADUATES
mm high honors
Ralph Beals, formerly a member
of the Junior class, has graduated
from the A-tozed prep school of Berk¬
eley with high honors. He was a
member of the Junior class debating
team at P. II. S. last spring and won
the California division of the Fire-
Йопе
Scholarship Essay contest. He
ans to enter the University of Cali¬
fornia this month.
SURVEY OF THE AGES OF
MAN IS LATEST BOOK
IN H. S. LIBRARY
We can’t help but wonder what
the recent damp spell has done t.o the
supposedly permanent wave that
some of the bobbed-haired damsels
affect.
At a combined luncheon and meet¬
ing of the faculty and student repre¬
sentatives of all the Honor Societies
of Southern California Miss Kath¬
leen D. Loly of P. H. S. was elected
president of the Southern California
Federation. The meeting was held
December 21 in the school cafeteria.
The toastmaster was Sidney Bart¬
lett of L. A. High. The toasts were: j
1. Team Work . Long Beach High ,
2. Our Goal . Bakersfield High
3. Our Opportunity Today .
. San Diego High
4. Our Opportunity Tomorrow .
. Santa Barbara High
The program, which was furnished
by Pasadena High students, was as
follows:
1. Instrumental Trio —
Raymond Townsend . Violin
Joe Ware . Flute
Clarence Mader . Piano
2. Magician . Lyman Packard
3. Musical Reading. .Helen Spaulding

4. Vocal Solo . Harriet McConnell

The guests at the luncheon were
faculty and student representatives
from Pomona, Long Beach, Hunting-
ton Park, Santa Barbara, San Diego,
Anaheim, Franklin, Owensmouth,
Van Nuys, Taft, San Fernando, Ven¬
ice, Lincoln, Lomita, L. A. High, San
Pedro, Hollywood, Manual Arts,
Whittier, Gardena, Polytechnic, Chaf-
fey Union, Bakersfield, Santa Ana,
Santa Paula, Alhambra, Grange, Ful¬
lerton, and South Pasadena.
"Fascinating in its interest and
amazing in its scope and prespeetive”
is the description given by critics to
the latest valuable addition to 'the
school library. The book is “An Out¬
line of the History of the World” by
H. G. Wells. Any student desirous of
reading this book can obtain special
permission for holding it seven days
or more.
Another highly recommended book
is “A Social Survey of Peking” by
Sydney Gamble,
Ц-
Pasadenan. This is
the first survey ever made of an
Oriental city. The work is entirely
different from all-similar works in its
unusual interest and accuracy. Con¬
temporary History students and stu¬
dents of Social Economics will find
this a valuable study.
Saxaphone and flute solos' and a
; splendid talk comprised the program
I at the Junior assembly yesterday at
j which Brewster Stevens. Commis¬
sioner of Athletics, presided.
! Dr. Charles Lockwood of the Pas¬
adena Hospital, a prominent Pasa¬
denan, spoke on Immunity.
Dr. Lockwood explained vaccina¬
tion, its origin and development, and
other ways in which immunity was
obtained. He emphasized strongly
the fact that a clean body and a
sound mind are the passports to suc¬
cess and the richest things that one
can possess.
Joe Ware played the flute and
Claude Roberts the saxaphone. They
were accompanied by Clarence Mader.
NEW CONTEST ANNOUNCED
BY ENGLISH DE¬
PARTMENT
Because of the success of previous
essay contests. E. A. Karelson lias
made it possible for the American
Economic Association to conduct an¬
other which should be of interest to
many students.
The subject for the essays is "The
Relation of Capital and Labor.” This
subject is so broad as to make it pos¬
sible for the competitors to give their
own ideas about one of the most im¬
portant social and economic problems
of the time.
There are no limitations on the
various phases of the question to be
worked upon, but the Association ex¬
pects the essays to contain a working
plan for the division of earnings of
an industrial plant. The plan must
include a suggestion for giving the
employee a share of the profits or
some other incentive to do his work
well and loyally.
Any American citizen is eligible to
compete. Three prizes have been of¬
fered for the best essays: First prize,
$1.000; second prize, $500; third
prize, $250. Certainly these prizes
are worth the trying for and the time
limit makes it possible for students
wishing to compete to- work on their
essays during the summer vacation if
their productions are not comp’eted
before the end of school.
For fulldetails see the Bulletin
Board in the English Office.
