PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, JANUARY 13, 1922
No. 15
FI YOURSELF CAM¬
PAIGN STARTS
TUESDAY
The third annual “Find Yourself
Campaign” will begin next Tuesday,
January 17. Few fellows except those
who have taken the opportunity of¬
fered in the two previous years, real¬
ize what it is to find the proper niche
or vocation in life, the one in which
he can be the happiest and most suc¬
cessful.
The opportunity does not come
every day to have a talk with the
man who has made a success of just
the line of work you would wish to
undertake.
Tuesday, January 17, there will be
a boys’ Senior-Junior Assembly in
which Principal W. F. Ewing will
present the plans of the campaign
and each fellow will be given a voca¬
tion bank to fill, out, stating the oc¬
cupation which he wishes to follow.
These blanks need not be returned
until Friday, 20th, 3:15, but the
sooner the better, for the dinner at
the boys’ dormitory of the Y. M. C. A.
Tuesday, January 24, will be limited
to the first one hundred boys who
sign up.
The most prominent and most suc¬
cessful business men in Pasadena
have been chosen from every line of
work and are well fitted and glad to
help any boy decide upon or choose
his occupation. Each man will have
two boys to interview and talk with.
They will be together during dinner
and later each boy will be given one-
half hour for a private interview.
The fellows need not stay after eight
o’clock.
During the evening the boys may
make arrangements for further meet¬
ings with the business men.
The Junior and Senior years of
High School are hard years for many
boys, especially for those who do not
know what to take up in college and
for those who wisli to take up some
occupation in the business world im¬
mediately. As it is very difficult to
meet and interview just the desired
man, this opportunity to choose a
vocation is indeed an important one.
WINNER IS CHOSEN FOR
SHORT STORY CONTEST
Because so much more interest was
shown in this short story contest for
the Item than in the first, and be¬
cause the stories were so much better
than those of the first contest, the
judges found it quite difficult to de¬
cide which paper should be awarded
the ten-dollar prize.
After careful consideration Elouise
Browne received first place in a group
of the best four stories, including also
those of Leonard Busse, F. Karlton
Kellogg, and Boyd Stephens. These
four were picked from a set of nine¬
teen. Two stories were handed in
from the night school classes but
were not considered in the contest.
CAFETERIA RECEIVES FIRST
DELIVERY OF NEW
CONFECTION
The P. H. S. Cafeteria was hon¬
ored by receiving the first shipment
of the new frozen confection made by
the Hughes Ice Cream Co. of Los An¬
geles.
The favor shows that the Pasa¬
dena High School Cafeteria is a
strong advertising center for all new
products. Over three hundred stu¬
dents enjoyed the glaciers on the
first day. This confection is both de¬
licious and filling and is also a new
idea in the West. Later on the com¬
pany is planning to have several
flavors.
HAVE YOU HEARD?
This notice was found in the
“CHRONICLE” office:
“As we have not received our
CHRONICLE for 3 successive weeks
we suggest that Miss Gleason ap¬
point a chaperone for our CHRON¬
ICLE representative.”
Mrs. Justwed — “You must not ex¬
pect me to give up my girlhood, ways
all at once, dear.”
Mr. Justwed — “That’s right; go on
taking an allowance from your father
just as if nothing had happened.”
CANDIDATES PRESENTED
TO STUDENT BODY
WEDNESDAY
The nominees for commissioners
for the coming semester were intro¬
duced and nominated in the assem¬
bly Wednesday morning. The cam¬
paign managers were allowed two

minute in which to accept the nomi¬
nation.
The nominations were opened by
Jack Garfield, who named Eddie
Ciliax for the Commissioner of Ath¬
letics. William Dekker nominated
Wallace Jayred.
For Boys’ Welfare, Paul Mathew-
son nominated Charles Black for re-
election, and Brewster Stevens pre¬
sented his nominee, Ivan Tagert.
The first nominee for Commission¬
er of Debating was Helen Jackson,
who was presented by her campaign
manager, Harold Archibald. Robert
Cole then nominated William Twey-
ing.
Charles Yates nominated Mary
Margaret Ambrose for re-election as
Commissioner of Entertainment and
Howard Black nominated Virginia
Mowatt.

Election Monday
The elections are to be held Mon¬
day and everyone is urged to vote.
In' the past only about one-third of
the Student Body has come out for
voting and in order to assure a larger
percentage this time, six booths in¬
stead of four are to be installed in the
halls, and more time is given for the
voting. “Every one bring your Stu¬
dent Body card Monday so you can
vote!”
TALK IS GIVEN TOR. 0.1 C.
BOYS BY CAPT. FALLON
Having as his theme the value of
R.
О.
T. C. training, Captain David
Fallon spoke to two hundred mem¬
bers of the R.
О.
T. C. on Tuesday
during the drill period. Besides being
a soldier and an author he is a friend
of the school. In his speech he told
how he probably would have lost his
life had he not had similar training
prior to the world war.
Col. W. S. Barlow is at the present
time making plans to have a military
tournament in the spring at Tourna¬
ment Park. Two special squads of [
R.
О.
T. C. boys for exhibition in wall j
scaling will be at hand today for the
Carnival. Commissions are to be pre¬
sented soon, in a special assembly, to
R.
О.
T. C. officers.
It will be remembered that last
year the Indoor Rifle Team of P. H. S.
won the National championship. Sev¬
eral people have suggested that some
local patriotic organization present
the team with a cup. Since it has
given much credit to the school and
has not received anything in return,
it is a matter of duty and interest to
award the boys for their splendid
work.
NEW LIBRARY ANNEX
BEING BUILT IN PARK
^You have doubtless seen the build¬
ing being erected in Library Park
and probably wondered what it was.
It is a children’s library, costing
$11,600. It will be completed about
the first of March. It is to have a
story-hour room, a workroom, and a
kitchenette besides the reading room.
The book shelves will surround the
room below the level of the case¬
ments. The main room will be fur¬
nished in gray with gray walls and
yellow or orange curtains. The build¬
ing is made so that it can be readily
moved to make room for a larger
library — if need be.
AMBIGUOUS
“Do Englishmen understand Amer¬
ican slang?”
“Some of them do. Why?”
“My daughter is to be married in
London, and the Earl cabled me to
come across.”

Y Big Carnival on Cam¬
pus this Afternoon
Commissioners Urge Students to
Attend Big Carnival This
Afternoon. Bring Your
Friends, They Say
Biggest Event of Year for Pasadena High School; Means
Linotype Machine for Local Print Shop
ADMISSION TO GROUNDS 25C; SIDE SHOWS 5C.
Carnival of Clowns, Bathing Beauties, Boxing, Japanese
Fighters, and Horse Racing. Eat Your Lunch
on the Carnival Grounds
Today is the biggest day of the year for Pasadena High School,
for at 12:30 o’clock the gates of the much heralded Carnival will
be thrown open to the masses of eager students, parents, and vis¬
itors. Lunch will be served on the grounds by the Girls’ League,
since the cafeteria will be closed for the day.
When the Commissioners were in¬
terviewed by a CHRONICLE report¬
er they were requested to make brief
statements concerning the Carnival.
The following were offered;
Donald Macfariane, commissioner
of Finance, says; “As Finance com¬
missioner, the Almighty Dollar is
what interests me the most, and
from that standpoint I can see
that if this Carnival is put over suc¬
cessfully, Pasadena High will be put
on a firm financial basis. Our worries
will then be over, and after all I
guess that’s what we’re all looking
for.”
Margaret Seares, Girls’ Welfare
commissioner, says: “Let’s all be
there, short, tall, fat and small. Bring
everyone you can find that has the
admission fee of 2 5c. Spend every
cent you possess and make it the most
wonderful afternoon you have ever
experienced.”
Max Colwell, Publication commis¬
sioner, says: “If a linotype machine
is purchased for this school it will
mark a new era in the publications
of P. H. S. With such a machine the
CHRONICLE could be enlarged, and
some of the money formerly spent
for type could be used for pictures
and cuts, thus making the paper more
attractive.”
Mary Margaret Ambrose, Enter¬
tainment commissioner, says: “If we
put the Carnival over let’s put it over
in “big league” style. Let’s not have
just a plain success; why not have a
howling success? If every student
spends at least one dollar at this
affair I will consider it the biggest
success that Pasadena High has ever
achieved.”
Brewster Stevens, Athletic chief,
says: “This is the biggest event that
has ever been attempted during my
stay at Pasadena High; here’s hoping
that it succeeds in every way.”
Helen Jackson, Debating commis¬
sioner, says: “Let’s throw all super¬
stitions aside, come to the Carnival
and throw money in the coffers of
Pasadena High.”
Charles Black, Boys’ League com¬
missioner: “It will be well worth
while to get behind this Carnival.
There will be eats, clowns, and all
kinds of fun. Be there.”
Howard Black, general manager of
the Carnival, says: “To the students
of Pasadena High, we, the managers,
wish to urge the attendance of the
entire student body.”
THRIFT TOPIC OF TALKS
GIVEN IN ASSEMBLIES
Every member of the Junior As¬
sembly thoroughly enjoyed the pro¬
gram which was presented by the
faculty members yesterday.
Mr. Emory Foster, a member of the
English Department, sang two songs,
“Friend of Mine” and “Sweet Little
Woman.” Mr. Foster was accompan¬
ied by Miss Hindman of the Music
Department.
Helen Jackson, the presiding com¬
missioner, introduced Mr. Thurston
of “fish story fame.” Mr. Thurston
spoke on “Thrift.” He urged the nec¬
essity of establishing thrift in the
schools. “If we are to be a great
people, we must he a thrifty people.”
Mr. Thurston explained the new Sav¬
ings department which has been add¬
ed to the High School hank. Any stu¬
dent may deposit money in the bank
and keep it there during his entire
four years , course. During the sum¬
mer the deposits will be transfered to
the Security Trust and Savings Bank
where the student may add to his ac¬
count during vacation.
Mr. Anderson, a member of the
finance department, and Mr. Roy
Davis, from the Security banks, told
of the various departments of a hank,
and the way in which these depart¬
ments are fitted to encourage that
most necessary of all habits, thrift.
Eiredrill in Short Time
According to Mr. O’Mara, the fire-
drill Tuesday morning, which took
place at about 10:15, was made in
almost record time. It took just two
minutes and five seconds for every¬
one to leave the buildings.
NEW COURSES OF STUDY
TO BE OFFERED
NEXT TERM
New courses of study to begin with
the second semester are: Beginning
Agriculture, Applied English, Cur¬
rent Literature, Short Story Writing.
These are all 11-2 subjects and will
be offered in conjunction with the
regular course of study given during
this semester. The school enrollment
is usually increased by about two or
three hundred students in mid-year;
consequently new classes have to be
organized, which makes it possible to
have these extra courses. Each stu¬
dent should determine his or her
course carefully and take the oppor¬
tunity to have work in as wide a
range of the departments of school
work as is possible. “Make your se¬
lection lead you to some definite end
and when once chosen, give it a fair
trial and ask no changes except for a
reason which is better than that de¬
termining your original selection,” is
the advice of the administration.
Brewster Stevens opened the1 Sen¬
ior Assembly yesterday morning by
introducing Mr. Thurston of the Com-
Mercial Department, as the first
speaker of the morning. His subject
was Thrift, and he laid stress on the
importance the French and the Belg¬
ians give it. Since the war tlie Amer¬
ican schools have had Thrift cam¬
paigns for money savings, and many
of the schools have started new de¬
partments in their hanks for the de¬
positing of student savings. Pasadena
High is to start such a department
soon. Mr. Thurston concluded with
the old moral, “The habits formed in
youth can not be changed at will,”
and urged all of the student body to
take advantage of the opportunity to
save, that the school now offers.
Mr. Anderson of the High School
Bank followed up Mr. Thurston’s talk
by explaining how money grows. He
gave a diagram for illuseration which
proved how much small deposits
average in time.
Mr. E. Davis, of the Security Trust
and Savings Bank of Pasadena, gave
a short talk on the value of the Sav¬
ings Department in all banks, and
showed ’ how, after a few years of
savings, the money could be invested
in bonds which paid more interest.
He also explained the Trust Depart¬
ment which deals with the interests
of minors.
Mr. Foster of the English Depart¬
ment gave two vocal selections and
was accompanied by Miss Heineman,
of the Music Department.
The same program was presented
in the Junior Assembly.
“I’ve borrowed our neighbor’s
phonograph for this evening.”
“Giving a party?”
“No, hut I’m going to have one
quiet evening at home this winter.”
Caller- — “That new house girl of
yours seems nice and quiet.”
Hostess — “Oh, very quiet! She
doesn’t even disturb the dust when
she’s cleaning the room.”
Few students realize the import¬
ance of the Carnival as it does not
merely mean an afternoon of pleas¬
ure for all attending, but it might he
said that the whole financial system
of P. H. S. rests on the outcome of
this big project. Everyone knows
that the money taken in will be spent
for a linotype machine, but few know
that a linotype machine will save the
student body about $2500 annually.
That is what all student body lino¬
typing, including Chronicle, Item, Di¬
rectory, and Annual, will amount to
this school year.
Oliver Pricket, manager of the
main show, has arranged a series of
events that will entertain the crowds
who will then be sitting in the bleach¬
ers.
Among the many unique stunts
planned for the big event is: Clowns
in various antics, Wrestling, A1 John¬
stone vs. Vick Jory; Statuettes, and
Acrobats. Two real Japanese bamboo
fencers have been secured to bat each
other over the head, for a few rounds.
This will be one of the features of
the day.
Horse racing and . stunt riding
.pretty girls and tricks by Mr. Mc-
Auley and his partners will also feat¬
ure in the big show.
John Rowland, who has charge of
the many side shows, has made it
possible for every registered club in
P. H. S. to present a show if they so
desired. Extra admission will be
charged for each of the side events.
A prize will he awarded by the Com¬
missioners to the side show partic¬
ipants who take in the largest num¬
ber of tickets.
Twenty of these side shows will he
in operation during the whole after¬
noon. “The Queen’s Howling Hulas,”
Fortune Telling, “P. G. Jazz Caba¬
ret,” “7 Wonders of the World,”
“The Great Sea Serpent,” “A Day in
an Asylum,” “The Land of Oz,” and
“Bathing Beauties” are some of the
unique side events that will attract
wide attention.
Each of the little shows will he en¬
closed in a tent, but the main go will
be in the open. Booths where edibles
are sold will be in evidence all over
the Carnival grounds.
Tickets for the side shows and for
the eats will be sold at separate
stands so that there will he no money
changing only at the specified places.
A student by buying 25 cents’ worth
of tickets at one time will receive one
extra ticket. The eats tickets will
sell at 5c straight.
THE PROGRAM
12:30 to 1:15 — Lunch.
1:15 to 2:45 — Side Shows.
2:45 to 3:45 — Main Show.
3:45 to 5:00 — Side Shows.
Basketball Chances
With her whole team hack from
last year, Hollywood High looks like
the winner of the City League this
season in basketball if dope has any¬
thing to do with it. They have be¬
sides last year’s team a mob of subs.
Troyer, the Hollywood captain, is
also hack, but because of sickness is
not able to play more than ten or
fifteen minutes at a time.
“The stork has brought a little
peach!”
Said the nurse with delighted air.
“I’m mighty glad,” the father said,
“That it didn’t bring a pair!”
Senior — “I ought to go to see my
chem teacher.”
Junior — “Why?”
Senior — “She called me twice last
week.”
