customs at a party held at the

vinoky at 410 Anita drive, on the
last Saturday before vacation.
Involving the use of German
words progressive games were
played in the early part of the
evening. Prizes were awarded

Ushering in the new year on an
ideal day, the 38th Annual Tour¬
nament of Roses was seen by
750,000 people from all parts of
the nation. The theme of the pa¬
rade was well known songs, each
entry being named after some
popular song. In the municipal en¬
tries Beverly Hills’ float “Sitting
on Top of the World” won first
and Glendale’s “Columbia, Gem of
the Ocean,” and Long Beach’s
“Bells of the Sea” took second
and third prizes, respectively.
The parade was composed of

ELECETS OFFICERS
Because of a growing interest
in zoology each year, Max W.
de Laubenfels, zoology teacher,
is now instructing two classes
instead of one, as was the case
last year. The pupils are study¬
ing the twelve phylum thorough¬
ly! beginning with the lowest
form of animal life, Protozoa,
and leading up to the Chordata
and its subdivisions. Blue prints
of 180 different, forms of animals
ore pasted in the students note
book and short write-ups of each
animal are put alongside, ex¬
plaining their habits, locality,
size, and other important feat¬
ures concerning them.
The study of zoology is ex¬
ceedingly interesting to anyone
desiring a better knowledge of
animal life, and to those stud¬
ents who really wish to get
something benificial from the
subject, it affords a most pract¬
ical course.

_ I the regular schedule used on the
’round the world steamers. Every¬
thing and everyone acts upon a
schedule. Life on one of these
liners is similar to school life in
that certain hours are used for
certain things. For example, the
members of the different organi¬
zations, Rotary, Masons, Elks and
the Travel club, etc., meet at
dinners or luncheons on certain
days. Another feature is the
“’Round the World Golf Club”
composed of all the golfers aboard
ship. In all the large ports called
at, this group journeys out be¬
fore the others for a round of
golf upon the links, before the
regular sightseeing.
In comparing the regions
visited, according to Mr. Foote,
there is n place like Pasadena
and its people. To really appre¬
ciate this community one must
visit the other beautiful spots of
the world.
Mr. Foote, accompanied by Mrs.
Foote, made the seven-month,
around the world trip in 1925 and
1926, leaving Pasadena for New
York on September 2 in the for¬
mer year, and returning to Pasa¬
dena in Mai-ch, 1926.
According to Dr. Frank Ayde-
lotte, American secretary to the
Rhodes, trustees, and president of
Swarthmore college, at Swarth-
more, Pa., Robert F. Heilbron, of
Caltech, was named beneficiary of
the 1927 Rhodes scholarships
along with thirty-one other
American students.
In 1923 Heilbron won the
American travel prize at the
institute, being the highest in
his class at the end of his sopho¬
more year. Again in 1924 he
won the junior European travel
prize.
Heilbron will have the oppor¬
tunity of entering Oxford uni¬
versity next October, with $2,000
a year given toward his expenses.
He has the privilege of studying
anything he desires.
He is a former member of the
football squad of Caltech and at
present holds a place on the de¬
bating team. He entered Caltech
upon graduating from San Diego
high school.
COMMISSION ACTS
Plans for the coming election
of commissioners were discussed
at the commission meeting which
was held in the student body of¬
fice last Monday.
It was decided to send flowers
to Don Tyler, who is ill with a
dislocated vertebrae and with
tonsilitis. He will not be able to
come out for basketball this year.
