OFF NEXT SATURDAY
FOR BIG TRIP
Mysterious Trip of Fast Liner
Soon to Be Begun by
Sophomores
None Will Be Allowed to
Come on Board With¬
out Passports
“Yo, ho ho, and a bottle of grape
juice.”
All aboard for the Sophs steamship
party. Costumes, wierd and various,
representing Sophomore ideas of for¬
eign garb, are in the making and grave
sartorial questions are occupying the
minds of the entire class.
Darkest secrecy surrounds the plans
for the sailing of the above mentioned-
“steamship” which is reported to be
dry-docked on the roof garden of the
Horace Mann building, pending the ar¬
rival of the jolly crew next Saturday
night.
Chief Engineer Dorothy Stewart is
very reticent about the details of the
voyage, but a sea gull whispered that
Billy DeLapp and Russel Seymour
have been booked as special enter¬
tainers and deck games are promised
at features of the trip.
Refreshments will also be of a
nautical character, chewing gum being
recommended as a remedy for mal-de-
mer. Ice cream is offered as a sub¬
stitute for the time-honored plum duff
and lemonade will be a most inocuous
grog. Cake will also usurp the place
of hardtack.
Miss Stewart, however, in her sec¬
ondary capacity of censor, has with¬
held all other information and it is in¬
ferred that a surprise is in store for
the motley crew of travelers who are
scheduled to appear at this function.
Captain and Mrs. Cross will be on
deck as chaperones, likewise genial
First Mate Wilson and Mrs. Wilson,
Consulting Engineer Miss Wolf and
others.
Purser Arthur Ferguson will be
waiting at the gang-plank to collect
passage money in the shape of class
dues.

**************************
A very interesting and valuable ad¬
dition has been made to the High
School library, and if anyone with
sufficient curiosity will go up there
and ask Miss Skinner to show it, she
will begin to smile expansively, lead
the way to the desk, open the cash
drawer and pull out, reverently, a
piece of the first Atlantic cable that
was ever stretched across the ocean.
Harold Butterworth presented this
cable to the school and Miss Skinner
wishes to publicly thank him. She also
says that if anyone else has something
of interest and of historical value, if
they will donate or lend it to the school
she will get a case in which to exhibit
the mementos so that P. H. S. will
have something else to show to visit¬
ors and help to send them home with
a better opinion of the school.
The cable is about four inches long
and three quarters of an inch thick.
It is of peculiar construction, having
a number of wires woven together on
the outside, about a quarter of an inch
of non-conducting material, in the cen¬
ter of which are several wires through
which the messages were sent.
In the collection there are also some
hieroglyphics which were donated by
the History Department. They occupy
a little case all by themselves on the
top of the filing case. One of them is
especially interesting as one corner is
chiped off, revealing hieroglyphics on
the inside. This shows that even in
that age they had envelopes around
their love letters, and other corre¬
spondence.
MANAGER LYON PUTS IN
POCKETS OF P.H.S.
$1200 NET
Financially and otherwise, the foot¬
ball season of 1915 has been a most
successful one for P. H. S. Besides
winning the State Championship, they
gleaned up a net profit of $1200, due
to the straightforward and conscien¬
tious work of Manager Parker Lyon.
From the start Lyon showed himself
to be a capable man for the position.
The crowds were handled to perfec¬
tion, and in the uncertain post-season
games, he showed himself a man able
to act quickly and wisely. And he got
the lowest rates for the Rooters Club
ever gotten in the history of the
school.
The players were always looking
natty, and up to the minute in the lat¬
est football regalia and style. None of
the Bulldogs suffered the discomforts
of ill-fitting shoes or suits. Manager
Lyon was interested individually in
every player and saw that each ..man
was fitted out right, and in P. H. S.
Bulldog style.

COLLEGE WOUNDS
HEALING RAPIDLY
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18,—
Stanford and the University of
Calfornia have bridged their ath¬
letic differences and are now under
agreement to compete in spring
sports for a period of six months.
The agreement was drawn up at
a meeting of intercollegiate agree¬
ment committees here last night.
Stanford agrees to bar freshmen
from competition and California
accepts a scholarship requirement
similar to the one now in . effect at
Stanford. California also agrees
to bar students of the California
Agricultural School at Davis unless
they first have taken work at the
university proper.
No reference was made to foot¬
ball, it being understood that Stan¬
ford will stick to rugby and Cali¬
fornia to the American game.
COACH WORKS DEBATE SQUAD
EICHT WEEKS BEFORE DEBATE
United States Should Adopt System of Military Training in High
Schools, Question for Debate January 21. Negatives
Will Meet Pomona Positives at Pomona;
Lincolnites at Home
“The two teams representing Pasa¬
dena in the debates on Friday nighl
are the best combinations that have
appeared on the rostrum for this
school for years,” was the statement
made by Coach Carson in speaking of
the Cardinal’s chances in the big de¬
bates with Lincoln and Pomona the
end of this week.
Such is the general feeling, ex¬
pressed by all those connected with
debating work at Pasadena High, it
being generally felt that with any¬
where an even break of the luck, an¬
other championship should be an¬
nexed by the Bulldogs. Three mem¬
bers of the combination are veterans
of several interscholastic encounters,
while the fourth one was good enough
to win a place, by proving a superior
speaker to several old hands at the
debating game, including two previous
interscholastic debaters.
Eight weeks of hard, grinding work
is behind every member of the two de¬
bating squads which have been study¬
ing the question, and it only remains
to be seen whether their work will re¬
sult in bring home another league
title or not.
Lincoln and Pomona are ranked
among the strongest debating schools
in the South, Pasadena, L. A. High
and Hollywood being the only other
“prep” institutions which are consid¬
ered in the same class. Lincoln has
two teachers who spend practically
their entire time on debating, scores
of students being engaged in this
school actively. Pomona won the
league title last year and has the same
team this season that went through
the entire 1915 season, so it means a
tough fight.
But optimism reigns supreme at
Pasadena, owing to the high calibre
of the teams which will represent her.
The question to be discussed is
such that the negative team must he
composed of debaters who can talk,
and talk straight to the point — debat¬
ers who are clear, logical, and plain
spoken. On the other hand, the affirm¬
ative combination must be made up of
students who besides their argumenta¬
tive ability must be polished speakers.
This is exactly what Coach Carson
has planned for in choosing the two
local combinations. The negative team
will be Virgil De Lapp and Laurence
Metzger, a duo that may well be feared
by any school. With the ability of
talking right to the point, and ham¬
mering at it until the judges are thor¬
oughly convinced, De Lapp it just the
man to fill the position of captain of
the negative. Being assigned to the
second negative position he will have
a chance to get the last speech for his
side ere the gavel calls time at the
end of the scrap.
Metzger, his colleague, has made
good with a venegeance in the recent
tryouts. He also is ideally fitted for
a negative speaker on such a question,
as his work is very similar to that of
De Lapp’s.
The affirmative team, which has the
difficult task of talking to practically
a strange audience, is also eminently
fited to speak on the side of the ques¬
tion assigned to them. Cooper and
Littleton are probably two of the most
polished speakers that have ever rep¬
resented Pasadena High School, and
together should make a practically un¬
beatable combination.
It is expected that a big crowd will
be on hand to hear both debates. Lin¬
coln has sent word that she will bring
up a strong contingent while sufficient
enthusiasm has been aroused locally
on the championship again, and there
is no doubt about the size of the audi¬
ence which will greet Pasadena’s rep¬
resentatives at that institution.
John Johnson and Wyllys Halstead
will both be on hand to lead the root¬
ing, while the High School Orchestra
will enliven the occasion with their
musical attempts. The Sophomore
party and various other affairs have
been postponed so that they will not
conflict with the debate, so that there
is no excuse for anything but a big
crowd. Manager Lilley’s slogan is
good and should be adopted by every
Pasadena student. “I’LL MEET YOU
AT THE DEBATE!”
YELL LEADERS GIVE
VIEWS (^STRUGGLE
O-h-h-h-h-h Y-e-s. Let’s go, PASA¬
DENA! We want a big crowd at this
debate. The championship of the
Southwestern Debating League will be
decided by the results of these two
contests. The Rooter’s Club should be
the backbone of the support given to
school teams at Pasadena High and
we want you there, you ROOTERS!
Those of you who can go to Pomona
in machines should do so. One of us
will be there to lead the rooting.
Every other student of Pasadena
should be at the debate in our own
auditorium, and when they get there
should do their part in winning the
debate by ROOTING! “We’ll meet you
at the BIG DEBATE'”

EXTREMELY ACTIVE
The Commercial Club, one of the
most active, if not the most active or¬
ganizations in the school, made a won¬
derful reputation for itself last year,
and now in its second year It bids
fair to beat even its last year’s record.
Its first venture of the year, of
which a great deal has already been
said, is the Employment Bureau which
it launched. This in itself is enough
to make any school organization fam¬
ous, as it is obtaining a great many
jobs of all sorts for those students
who wish them and at good wages
also.
Last Thursday, in conjunction with
the Biological and Agricultural De¬
partments, the Commercial Club gave
a motion picture assembly. It is

planned to have an assembly of this
kind at least once a month. The pic¬
tures shown were “King Cotton, Coffee
and Mushrooms” and “Rice Culture,
Cocoanuts, Beans, and the Redwood
Industry,” which were very Instructive.
The excursion committee which con¬
sists of Arvid Hellburg and Leslie
Cramer, has planned at least two ex¬
cursions which will be extremely in¬
teresting. Perhaps the most interest¬
ing from an entertaining point of view
is a trip to Universal City, which will
probably be in the near future and

from a business point of view, is a
trip to the various prominent business
houses of Los Angeles and vicinity.
