School Semester
Successful in every respect, the
season just completed by the out¬
going student commissioners stands
out as one in which much was
done, despite many difficulties.
Probably the most outstanding
accomplishment, from the view¬
point of the student, is the success¬
ful re-establishment of the tradi¬
tional Long Beach game bonfire,
which was given a trial and proved
successful. Though this was done
through the office of commissioner
of boys’ welfare, every commis¬
sioner in office had a definite part
in the program.
To take up the offices separately
and enumerate the accomplish¬
ments may give a better impres¬
sion of the year’s work.
Commissioner of debating: After
a year of non-competition, Pasa¬
dena was again entered into league
competition, and is carrying on a
fairly successful season. Oratorical
contests were given a great deal
of publicity, bringing out many
participants.
As only the most outstanding ac¬
complishments can here be men¬
tioned, the already mentioned ac¬
complishment of the boys’ welfare
commissioner must suffice.
Publications have had a most
successful year, money appropri¬
ated by the commissioners making
it possible to publish a high class
“Chronicle,” and though the “An¬
nual” is suffering from insufficient
funds, the next semester may open
means of increasing funds.
Assemblies have been carried on
under trying difficulties, and the
instituting of competitive club pro¬
grams marks a new activity for
the school.
The success of athletics thus far
in the season has met with ap¬
proval of every student in the
school.
National wide fame marks the
accomplishment of the Girls’ league

Disclosing alarming facts of the

school R.
О.
T. C. unit because of
insufficient membership, and urg¬
ing civilian boys of the school to
rally to the support of the organi¬
zation, John W. Harbeson, princi¬
pal, arranged the most popular as¬
sembly of the year, Friday, Janu¬
ary 6, which was headed by
Charles W. Paddock, world cham¬
pion sprinter, and the Pasadena
American Legion drum corps.
The announcement that the unit
would be withdrawn from Pasa¬
dena unless the membership was
doubled during the next semester
came as quite a surprise to the en¬
tire Boys’ league, and though much
objection was expressed, the in¬
crease in enrollment since the vol¬
unteer call was made has been al¬
most unnoticeable.
In addition to the main address
of the day, given by Charles Pad-
dock, Major N. J. Shupe and Ad¬
jutant Robert M. McCurdy of the
American Legion sincerely en¬
dorsed the training given by the
R.
О.
T. C. William K. Dunn also
expressed his opinion that the unit
was an indispensable necessity.
Mr. Paddock, who is a graduate
of Pasadena high school, urged
every boy in the school to join the
training corps as a gesture of pa¬
triotism and support of his coun¬
try. “I do not mean that America
should be militaristic, but the only
way to prevent war is to be so pre¬
pared that any other nation is

Accomplishing the seemingly
impossible, Pasadena high
school varsity and midget bas¬
ketball teams came home yes¬
terday with two league victories
tied up by large scores. As the
local midgets were favored to
win, the 19-13 victory was no
surprise, but after such sloppy
pre-season practice games, the
turning of the tables by the
varsity, 33-18, raise hopes of a
successful season.
Team work was the redeem¬
ing feature of Coach Dunn’s
varsity men, who showed 100
percent improvement in passing,
shooting, and general playing.
Capps, as usual, was the mainstay
of the bulldogs, and he played
a wonderful game at guard.
Matter also came out of his
last week’s slump and proved
to be the main scorer, chalk-'
ing up sixteen points. Early
came next with nine scores and
Higgins third with three.
The midgets started on their
way to what appeared to be a
fairly safe score. Pupis and
Shiminouehi were the chief
scorers, but Pineda and Pierce
were strong at the guard po¬
sitions, and succeeded in holding
the Whittier forwards down.
Pupis scored 6 points, and
Shiminouehi seven. Hollander
at center chalked up one and
Pierce and Pineda scorded two
points.
Tonight Coach Leland Mc-
Auley’s lightweights meet the
Whittier lights here for another
league game.
Five Girls and Thirteen Boys Seek Opportunity to Serve
in Positions of Leadership; Election Will
Be Held on Monday
Eighteen candidates are out to serve their scho;ol
through the election of commissioners. Only seven of
these eighteen will be given a name and a key for then-
work, but the others will find an opportunity to serve
later. Five girls are running, and for three different offices.
Two candidates, for commis-f-
sionership of athletics and
publications, are sure of a
position next term as they
are not opposed for office.
The position as commissioner of
debating seems to be the most
popular, there being five candi¬
dates for this office and only two
for entertainment, and three each
for boys’ welfare, girls’ welfare,
and finance. Three of the former
commissioners ai'e ineligible to
run this term because they arp
nine semester students.
Elections will be held during
the two advisories on Mondaj
January 16.

Albert Ellis for Debating!
Why? Because as a debater he will
work for the best interests of de¬
bating in P. H. S.! Albert Ellis
has had a great deal of valuable
experience in the debating and ora¬
torical field. He is also an active
and contributing member of our
forensics club, “The Forum.” Ellis
began his interscholastic debating
work in John Marshall junior high
school. While in P. H. S., he has.
already participated in two inter¬
scholastic debates, and he is now
working on his third.
As an all around fellow,- Albert
has been active in other fields be-
In nominating my candidate,
Virginia Gollatz, to the office of
Commissioner of Debating, I wish
:o present a few of her qualifying
eharacteristics.-
First, she has had two years of
high standing in the debating
class, has participated in numerous
class debates and won a place in
the finals of both the “Littleton”
and the “Davis Hall” oratorical
contests, making for a satisfactory
fulfillment of necessary experience.
In the second place, she has
shown her enthusiasm in school
activities by her sub-chairmanship
of the uniform board by holding
an office in the Honor society for
three semesters, and is at present
the vice-president of the Forum
club.
Therefore, in confidence of my
candidate’s ability to carry debat¬
ing triumphantly forward for the
coming semester, I take great
pleasure in nominating Virginia
Gollatz to the office of Debating
Commissioner.
