Garden Of Youth”
Float Of City Schools
Unlike many of the other floats
“A Garden of Youth,” the float
entered by the Pasadena schools,
was not made up entirely of real
flowers. To be sure, the pansies,
sweet-peas, violets, roses, and for¬
get-me-nots were very life-like,
for they were none other than
Pasadena students.
With its flowers, pergola, and
gazing globe, the float represent¬
ed a garden typical of sunny
Southern California.
All of the Pasadena schools
were represented, including the
Junior College. The president of
the Associated Students of Pasa¬
dena Junior College, Louis Creve-
ling mounted on horse-back, led
the float.
Flower costumes were designed
and made by Miss Ruby Parson’s
costume designing class, while
Miss Daisy Grubel made the hat
worn by Lois Ewing, vice-presi¬
dent of the senior class, who was
one of the flowers.
The school carpenters made the
body of the float. Loleta Heibert,
Jane Giguette, Dorothy Tagert,
Wilhelm Madsen, Kathryn Brown,
Richard Winter, Marion Randall,
John Hutchinson, and Starr Titus,
all Junior College students, help¬
ed decorate the float.
Miss Ida E. Hawes, Miss Hazel
Cooper, Charles Cooper, and Fred
Wallace made up the committee
which had charge of the float.
Potted plants were loaned by
the Crown City Nursery.
As the students of Pasadena
High probably remember, money
for the float was raised on field
day, October 10.
MUCH PROGRESS MADE
ON NEW HEATING PLANT
Seats were removed, floors were
torn out, and nearly everything
was wrecked in the auditorium
during the mad rush against time
in putting in the new heating sys¬
tem during the Christmas holi¬
days. In the auditorium six huge
hot-air heating mains were in¬
stalled and the same number of
ventilators were put in the floor
to take the stale air out. How¬
ever, work on the auditorium was
not the only thing accomplished,
for radiators were installed in the
first floor and basement of the
Horace Mann building, steam
mains and returns were put in
from the new boiler house to the
main buildings, and much work
was done on the huge high-pres¬
sure boilers.
A large number of men were
kept busy during the whole of
the vacation and a few P. H. S.
students succeeded i n “holding
down” jobs, • helping the steam-
fitters.
“THREE GEORGES” SING
IN TUESDAY ASSEMBLY
Three Georges, Mr. George
Mortimer, Mr. George Wood, and
Mr. George Brown, with Mr. J.
Tyler Parker, who compose the
Rotary Club Quartet, entertained
in the assembly on Tuesday, Jan¬
uary 6. They were introduced by
Mr. Ewing, one of the several
faculty men who are Rotarians.
After a selection by the quar¬
tet, “Jolly Fellows,” Mr. Morti¬
mer gave a short talk on the
meaning of Rotary. The next
number was a piano solo by Mr.
Mortimer. He played a Span¬
ish Dance and as an encore play¬
ed the Minuet from Beethoven
and then the Humoresque. Next,
Mr. George Brown, accompanied
by Mr. Mortimer, sang “Yo San”
and “Mother O’ Mine.” As a
final number the quartet sang
“The Mosquito.”
Mr. and Mrs. Bailey Howard
spent several days in their cot¬
tage in Burnt Hill Canyon, Lake
Arrowhead. Mr. Howard reports
eight inches of snow and 20° F.
Miss Baldwin Married
A faculty wedding took place,
on December 22, when Miss Jean¬
nette Holmes Baldwin, member of
the Commerce department, was
married to Mr. Dana Court-
wright. Mrs. Courtwright will
continue teaching the rest of the
year.
Important Notice
Students who wish to add an
additional subject to their pres¬
ent program should see their de¬
partment head, or Miss Clarke or
Mr. O’Mara on or before Friday
January 16.
Fuel Problem Discussed
Advantages and dangers of the
use of gas and other fuels in the
homes of today, and furnace in¬
stallation, are the subjects which
are being presented this week
during third period to the House¬
hold management classes of Miss
Katherine McGorray, head of the
Household and Fine Arts depart¬
ment.
Representatives from both the
Ohrmund Bros. Gas Appliance Co.
and the Foss Furnace Company
are giving lectures on these sub¬
jects.
Jelly-Beans Present
Teacher With Gift
Although many teachers were
presented with gifts of apprecia¬
tion before Christmas vacation,
there is one which tops them all
for originality. R. O. DeMond,
member of the Social Science de¬
partment, received from his first
period history class a box of can¬
dy accompanied by a poem writ¬
ten on a card. On each side of
the card was a crayon drawing
of a boy and a girl with faces
made of jelly-beans. The poem
follows :
These many colored jelly-beans
All in a jumbled mass
Stand for the vacant jellied
“beans”
Of your first hour history class.
Our “beans” may not be so pretty
Nor so full of stuff inside,
j Nor are we quite as sweet as
they
And bloated up with pride.
Your patience has been so serene
With this class of jellied “beans”
We want each bean to be a token
Of appreciation left unspoken.
We may be dumb and stupid
But one thing we’ve learned keen,
Columbus discovered America
In Eig'hteen-Nineteen!
— S. D.
Mr. DeMond, in discussing the
work of art, says that history
classes as well as English classes
can produce poetry, and submits
this product as a proof. This
may be true but talking about
History — we thought Columbus
discovered America in 1776.

PASADENA TO DEBATE
ON MONROE DOCTRINE
Resolved : “That the United
States should abolish the prin¬
ciples of the Monroe Doctrine,”
will be the subject for debate be¬
tween Pasadena High School and
Los Angeles High School when
the two meet in the local aud¬
itorium some evening in the
latter part of February. Neither
the date for the debate nor the
sides to be upheld by each school
have been decided upon as yet. i
i
Those desiring to try out for
this debate met with Coach R. W.
Canfield yesterday afternoon.
Preliminary tryouts will be held
in the near future.
Two students will then be
chosen by the forensic committee
1 to form the P. H. S. team.
In the last round of debates j
Pasadena was defeated by Holly¬
wood by a 2-1 decision. Los
Angeles High was defeated by
Long Beach.
The Pasadena Junior College
debated this same question with
San Diego Junior College, winning
both here and at San Diego by
; unanimous decisions.
TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE
HELD IN VACATION
From Wednesday, December 17,
to Saturday, December 20, was a
busy period for the teachers of
Pasadena. During this time the
P. H. S. faculty, and that of other
Pasadena schools attended a Teach-
| ers’ Institute; Wednesday sessions
were held at the McKinley school
Auditorium, and Thursday and
Friday meetings were held in Los
Angeles.
Miss Gladys Snyder of the Jour¬
nalism Department of P. II. S.,
was one of the speakers in the
printing and journalism division
of the teachers’ institute held in
Los Angeles during the Christ¬
mas holidays. She gave a de¬
tailed lecture on the making of
a high school annual..
Mr.
С.
E. Corson of the “Ohio
Educational Monthly” was the
main speaker.
Three times a year all the ink¬
wells are cleaned and filled.
NO. 12
MIS PROMOTE
sum Kims
The Junior Class held its third
meeting of the year in the Au¬
ditorium, Thursday, Dec. 11, dur¬
ing first advisory.
The president, Don Stoner, call¬
ed the meeting to order, and the
minutes were read and approved.
Ted Hambrook, treasurer, re¬
ported that only about one-third
of the Juniors had joined the
class, and urged that the member¬
ship be increased.
у
It was announced that the Jun¬
ior Class would be unable to give
a play because of the great num¬
ber of school activities already
scheduled. The Juniors expect to
give a big afternoon entertain¬
ment some time soon. The com¬
mittee appointed to arrange for
the vaudeville consists of Maxine
Doerschlag, Kate Moore, Ouina
Lisk, Herbert Packard, Ida Pear¬
son, and John McClintock.
The Junior-Senior party will be
held in the last part of the sec¬
ond semester. A committee con¬
sisting of Elizabeth Naquin, Edith
Hansen, Elizabeth Bixby, Robert
McClintock, Edwin Walker, and
Bob Chapin was appointed to in¬
vestigate the matter of the party.
Many suggestions were made
concerning the adoption of official
class sweaters. A motion to the
effect that Junior should wear
distinctive class socks and stock¬
ings was defeated.
SAINT OLAF CHOIR
TO APPEAR TONIGHT
The Saint Olaf Lutheran Choir
of forty-three young women and
twenty-five young men, will ap¬
pear at the High School auditor¬
ium tonight as the first season
offering of the Pasadena Music
and Art Association’s 1925 Art¬
ists Series.
Dr. Christiansen has been di¬
rector of music at St. Olaf’s col¬
lege since 1903. Instead of the
silly little ditties of the old time
college glee clubs, this choir in¬
troduces to the concert platform
religious masterpieces that have
existed for hundreds of years
through their innate qualities of
greatness.
About sixty boys and girls, sons
and daughters of Norwegian
farmers for the most part, com¬
pose the choir. They sing a ca-
pella. “How they get the pitch
remains a mystery,” states a crit¬
ic, “but the dynamic effects are
amazing, and their phrasing,
beautiful precision of attack and
release, variety of tone shading
and the spirit of the profoundly
religious music that dominates
their program is reflected in the
genius of their leader, without
doubt the greatest choral leader
in America, and with no peer
abroad.”
This music organization repre¬
sents the music talents of St.
Olaf College from Northfield,
Minnesota. This college is owned
and operated by the Norwegian
Lutheran Church of America. The
Grace Lutheran Church of Pasa¬
dena belongs to that branch of
that church.
Year after year critics confess
their inability to give complete
expression to the joy such enter¬
tainment as this choir brins to
them, and when the choir went
abroad, the same general appre¬
ciation was shown, from the king
and queen of Norway down to the
lowliest peasant. Their tour was
one constant triumph, for it
showed what the new world had
accomplished in choral work.
Culbertson Has Operation
Word from A. E. Culbertson,
member of the Biological Science
department, and now on leave
of absence to carry on research
work at U. C., states that he has
spent the last two weeks in the
infirmary following a slight op¬
eration. He now is much im¬
proved and expects very soon to
continue his work at the uni¬
versity.
