Filled by Group of
Musicians
Coveted roles in the cast of
“Prince of Pilsen” have been won
by a group of clever performers.
Hans, the brewer from Cincinnatti,
will be played by William Probas-
co; the Prince, romantic hero of
every girl’s dream, by Bob Hend¬
ricks.
Son Cast
Tom, dashing lieutenant from
United States cruiser “Annapolis”
and son of Hans, will be George
Morgan ; Francois, concierge at the
Hotel International, by Jack Cutler;
and Jimmy, tip-seeking bell-hop, by
Russel Good.
Girls cast include: Mildred Han-
ndff as a widow from New York
on a man hunt; Treva Scott as

Vassar; Florence Oberle, Hans’
daughter Nellie who captures the
Prince.
Are Co-Workers
Roberta Scott and Marjorie Har¬
mon are co-workers in the part of
Sidonie, vivacious French maid of
Mrs. Crocker. Sidonie leads Fran¬
cois a merry chase.
Intensive rehearsals are under
way under the direction of Miss
Katharine Kester, dramatics coach.
Dialogues teeming with gay repar¬
tee, and incidents full of humor are
found from the first scene to the
last curtain.
Tech Lab Has
Wind Tunnel
With the addition of a wind
tunnel to the aviation department
in the technology laboratory, stu¬
dents will be able to test various
airplane models and parts.
Hoods have been installed over
the furnaces for heat treating of
metals and are ready for class use,
according to Bailey W. Howard,
head of the science department.
Motor generator which takes 600
amperes to start was run for the
first time last Tuesday. In com¬
parison a hand iron uses about
four amperes. This unit will sup¬
ply all of the necessary direct cur¬
rent for the laboratory.

Of Anthology
Astronomy Classes
Have Color Screen
With the arrival of a color screen
from an eastern factory, astronomy
classes have been busy photograph¬
ing the sun and moon. Photographs
as they are developed will be post¬
ed on the bulletin board.
Revision of astronomy credits
makes it impossible, beginning next
semester, to obtain credit for the
24-A course, without continuing in
24-B.
“First the blade, then the ear,
then the full corn in the ear.” This
selection from St. Mark is taken
as the name and motto of “First
the Blade,” California collegiate
anthology of verse, because college
contributions of young poets repre¬
sent their first attempts, while
later their products will mature
into success.
Two recent contributors, Rachel
Harris Campbell of San Diego
State College, and Lyda-Blithe
Richman of U. S. C., have sent in
a number4 of poems.
Contributions from Pasadena
students have also been received by
-Miss Harriet McClay, adviser of the
Nom de Plume, editing club, but
some have been from lower division
students.
“Upper division students should
continue to contribute, remember¬
ing that February 15, the dead¬
line, is drawing near,” urges Miss
McClay.

BAND PLANS
EASTER TOUR
Bulldogs Will Give Concerts
At Nevada, Utah Cities
For Advertising
The Bulldog Band under the dir¬
ection of Audre L. Stong is rapidly
completing plans for an Easter ad¬
vertising tour through Nevada and
Utah.
The Band will give its first con¬
cert in Las Vegas, Nevada, where
it will have a look at the Hoover
Dam project under the personal
conduction of the Big Six compan¬
ies. In return they will give a pro¬
gram for the men in camp. The
next concerts will be given at St.
George and Cedar City, Utah.
Ensemble Will Play
The concert in the Salt Lake
Tabernacle will feature a combined
ensemble consisting of the Bulldog
Band, the 100-piece Tabernacle
Maestro Chorus, and the McClell¬
and Chorus, presenting Faure’s
“The Palms,” and Mozart’s Gloria
from the “Twelfth Mass.” Mr.
Stong has been invited to conduct
the entire ensemble.
James P. O’Mara, dean of
men, is checking the grades
and deportment of all mem¬
bers. The bahd is to be re¬
duced from 170 to 100 mem-
for this tour.
“The trip has been so arranged
as to permit po burden or expense
on the schools of Pasadena,” stat¬
ed Mr. Stong in discussing plans
for the trip. “What difference is
not met in the cities en route will
be made by the students making
the journey.”
While more than 300 townsmen and students looked on
ten P. J. C. students engaged! in a snorwball fracas on the
front lawn last Friday morning, causing damage to school
buildings and passing automobiles and resulting in the arrest
of seven participants, five of whom are in attendance here.
Although general sentiment has been to the effect that
a few have been singled out of'
many for punishment, reports from
heads of faculty and student ad¬
ministrations and the police depart¬
ment belie this feeling.
Student Body President Robert
Rockwood, in his formal apology to
Police Chief Charles H. Kelley,
which he was unanimously dele¬
gated to tender at an Associated
Men’s mass meeting last Friday,
declared, “I wish you to know that
the students who showed disrespect
to your officers constitute a rela¬
tively small fraction of our student
body.”
Answers Complaint
“Most of the students were in
assembly when the police first an¬
swered the complaint of an autoist
whose windshield had been broken,”
reiterated Dr. John W. Harbeson,
principal.
“Evidently only a few students
were responsible for starting the
disturbance,” pointed out Chief
Kelley, in bearing out the state¬
ments of the first two.
Seven Prosecuted
Whether or not they have been
unfairly singled out, the seven are
being prosecuted by city authori¬
ties. Two pleaded guilty and have
been sentenced to 30 days in the
city jail, although they have been
granted stays of execution until
those who pleaded not guilty are
tried.
Because they are minors, two
were certified to juvenile hall. Trial

Seniors Must Return Photos
To Studio Monday Afternoon
Seniors must return their picture proofs to the Noel studio on Ford
Place by Monday afternoon, indicating the proof that they wish to
appear in the “Campus,” otherwise the staff will select the pictures at
random and use them in the senior section.
Work on the senior section will
start Tuesday and all names will
be alphabetized and placed tenta¬
tively in the book.
Miss Mary Sullivan will become
adviser-in-chief starting next sem¬
ester. Mrs. Helen M. Stone will as¬
sume the duties of copy and edi¬
torial adviser.
This year according to plans of
Wesley Daley, business manager,
the club section will contain sev¬
eral innovations.
All clubs of over 40 members will
have pictures of club officers only.

only a half page. Prices for a full
page will be the same as last year,

tives of the clubs must contact
Daley and make arrangements for
their page in the “Campus” at

pointments with Mr. Noel for pic¬
tures, as the deadline is past. It
is hoped that the two hundred and
fifty graduates who will not have
their pictures in the “Campus”
this year because they failed to
meet the deadline will serve as an
example to graduates in the fu¬
ture.

structor, has been granted a leave
of absence for the second semester,
