Proceeds Slated to Assist Cabinet Marquee Project Once each semester Pasadena Junior College opens the door for a community night. As the first activity of the new year co-chairman Rowena Baker and Keith Cutting have announced that the event will take place this semester on Friday, January 10. The purpose of Community Night is to give parents and citizens of the city an opportunity to meet and become acquainted with student offcers and faculty members. This year an additional purpose of community night is the raising of the amount of necessary for a marquee board money necessary for a marquee board for Pasadena JC. By charging 25 cents for each of the two major events of the evening, namely, the stage show and the dance, it is anticipated that enough money will be raised which when combined with $469 left in trust by the class of ’41 will entirely pay for a marquee board to be placed at the corner of Colorado Street and Hill Ave¬ nue. All organizations on campus will be able to use the board, free of charge, to announce activities to be held on campus. With the aid of Miss Jeanette Strawn, student body adviser, various committees and groups have been planning and working on exhibits which will display to the public the semester’s enter¬ prises. Commencing at 7:30 p. m. in the Sexson Auditorium, a stage show of student talent will be presented with Charlie Green- street as master of ceremonies.
