Stop! Look! Listen! What person
dares to say that the Girl’s League
is forgetting the little things at home
for the larger issues in remembering
the “boys across the pond?" It is
just twenty-two more days until St.
Valentine’s Day, and already a com¬
mittee of industrious girls headed by
Elizabeth Coffee, is preparing a dis¬
tinctly original program for the Valeo

Teachers’ Association.
The program will carry out the Val¬
entine motif in even the most insignif¬

Virginia Woolery’s department and all
the girls who signed up under her
section of the league work are espe¬
cially asked to back this new enter¬

by the high school orchestra under
the direction of Mr. Hubert H. Parker.
The program is of special interest be¬
cause it includes the national airs of j
all the Allies, and if Argentine is
lined alongside with them, her nation¬
al anthem will also be played.
The orchestra is composed of about
forty pieces and is generally rated the
best high school orchestra in Southern |
California, if not in the whole state.
It is a great privilege to be able to |
listen to music of such a high order j
and on such a large scale from high
school students and this ^fact is becom¬
ing more and more appreciated each
year as is evidenced by the number
who look forward to these concerts.

An excellent plan has been adopted
by which every loyal citzen will have

Miss .Tennis has again taken up her
duties in the Modern Language de¬
partment.
Miss Tennis has been away from P.
H. S. for the past two months. She
left for Berkeley following a severe
illness to rest and regain her health.
The trip, though enjoyable, was not
a pleasure excursion and this popular
French teacher has returned to Pas¬
adena fully determined to “donne de
francais a les eleves” even harder
than before.
It Is hardly necessary to add that
everyone is glad to have her back
at P. H. S. again.
In the fourth league game of the 1
basketball season, the Pasadena High
School quintet walked all over the
Ok I
Jefferson High team by a score df
36 to IS. Although decisively defeated [
the Jeffersonians put up a fairly fast j
game, which was watchdd by the j
usual “Howling Half-Hundred” and j j
(will wonders never cease?) thirteen
of the fair sex by actual count.
Jefferson, the league weaklings, 1
proved easy meat for the locals; so
easy in fact, that Coach Main sent
in the second team and parts of the
third team for the first two periods
of the game, as the game was played
in quarters for fear of over-exerting
the young Jeffersonians. The subs
surprised everybody by holding their
opponents to seven points in the first
two periods, while Strickland regis¬
tered eight for Pasadena. In the
third canto the coach sent in most of
the first team and they proceeded to
score poiats almost at will, the final
count being 35 to 13.
The team ais a whole did not put up
the exhibition of team-play that was
registered two weeks ago at L. A.
High, probably due to the fact that
three members of the team, Black,
Strickland, and Biddle, played the
night before In the P. H. S. — L. A.
lightweight game. Keyes and Strick¬
land tied in point of digils scored,
both getting ten. Pitzer and Black
came next with six, while Biddle
registered four. Strickland put up the
best work that he has yet shown in
a league game, making several spec¬
tacular baskets. Pitzer also showed
good form and Black, who went in
for him the last quarter, kept up the
good work. Keyes played his usual
good game, while Whetstine and
Hackney at guard gave the Jefferson
forwards chance to shoot only two
field goals.
For Jefferson, Settles and Cohn
scored all of the points although
Foss put up a fair game at guard.
When the fact that Jefferson is a
High School of only a year’s exis-
tance is taken into consideration, the
showing of the city lads was very
credible, and makes it look as if the
Jeffersonites were going to have .a
real team representing thqm in a year
or two.
The contest might almost be called
a “Comedy of Fouls,’’ as thirty-five
fouls were made during the course of
the conflict, and several men were
forced to leave the game on account
of making mpre than the allowable
number of fouls. In spite of this the
game was
О.
K., from the Pasadena
standpoint at least, for it gave P. H.
S. a rating of tie for second place in
the league standing.

Dr. Wishard gave a very interest¬
ing, and a very real talk in an assem¬
bly called for that purpose on Friday
the 17th. His talk fitted in very well
with the spirit shown by the girls who
were patriotically knitting, and hem¬
ming bandages. More than one girl
grasped her neednes more tightly and
worked JmoJre quickly
Цэ
Dr. Wis¬
hard told of the horrors of the war,
declaring that America would not he
“put in her place” by Germany.
Dr. Wishard opened his address by
calling the Student Body “Comrades.”
He showed how every one is mobil¬
ized by the government to do his or
her part in this world conflict, no \
matter how small it may be. He illus¬
trated his point by quoting the words
of the great General Pershing, “we
cannot all go to the trenches.”
A very exciting acpcunt was given j
by Dr. Wishard of his trip through
the submarine zone. He spoke of the
danger of explosion of the 2,000 hand
grenades that were carried among
the baggage of the rickety old ship
on which they traveled. Many other
such dangers were combined with the
dread of the submarine and the un¬
certainty of other ships in the, dark- J
ness.
Dr. Wishard described in very pic¬
turesque language the plan of Ger¬
many in carrying out this war. He ex¬
plained how Germany intended to |
gain control of all Southern Europe,
all - of Asia Minor, ‘and all of Asia
proper as far as the Persian Gulf.
By so doing Germany intended to con¬
trol the markets of the world, and j
then comes in the well known part ;
about “Paris in two months.” He told j
of the conversation of a German of¬
ficer in which the plan to “put Amer¬
ica in her place,” was sarcastically
explained.
After this account of the impossible ;
plans of Germany, he told of ths hor¬
rors' which magnify the “fiendishness”
of the Huns.
He closed by a more cheerful view
of the war and told an amusing
story of a marvel of an invention for
killing flies.
Dr. Wishard is a very popular
speaker with the High School Student
Body and it is hoped that this will not
he the last time that P. H. S. has the
honor of hearing him.

NOVICE MEET COMIN< SOON.
BULLETIN, „an. 2L— Friday after¬
noon, February 1, has been set as
the date for the annual Pasadena No¬
vice Track Meet. It has been officially
announced that anyone, post-grad,
nine-year man, or 9-1 fresh, who is a
student at Pasadena High School and
who has not at any time In the past
won 1 or, more points in an Inter¬
scholastic meet, Is eligible to com¬
pete.
As the result of untiring efforts on.
the part of Secretary McAdoo and
fervent appeals of influential persons,
the Baby Bond has come to stay. It
has been installed in all banks and
the like. It has been Instituted in
countless high schools and the sub¬
scription to which it is the source of
much rivalry. In other words people
are waking up to the tact that Uncle
Sam needs money now and needs it
badly and they are purchasing Thrift
Stamps.
The Thrift Stamp is a new thing. It
gives' the man of humble means and
the school boy a chance to invest In
the U. S. government. By "investing”,
it is meant that the Thrift Stamp is
a sort of pocket edition of the Lib¬
erty Bond and in its way helps just
as much. At the banks and post-of¬
fices small booklets can be obtained.
There are spaces in this book that
provide for the Thrift Stamps. These
stamps cost just twenty-five cents.
After the equivalent of four dollars
and some odd cents have been affixed
the book and contents may he deposit¬
ed. The stamps may at any time be
used as ready money. If left in deposit
they jflraw four per cent interest.
President Vanderlip of a prominent
N. Y., city bank is quoted as saying
among other things, that the Thrift
Savings plan is an active agent in the
promotion of thrift inasmuch as it
gives a tendency to make people save

Enter Clifford Boorey, Captain-elect
of the 1918 Pasadena football varsity.
At an election held last Friday Cliff
came out victorious and he Is now the
successor to such men as Brant Gard
Bob McAdam, Steve Horrell, and
Wally Chisholm. Cap¬
tain Boorey made the
team for the first time
this season but played
such good football and
showed such budding
promise of future
worth that he became
a logical candidate for
the 1918 captaincy.
With him go the wish¬
es of the vets who will graduate this
year and the vets who will be back
next year, the seniors, the juniors,
the sophomores, the freshmen and the
freshmen who will be .born in between
now and September for a season start¬
ing with a victory over the scrubs and
Throop, continuing with triumphs
over Chaffey, L. A. High, Santa Ana,
and finishing with a grand revenge
against Long Beach and Manual Arts.
With a new coach, a new captain,
and a new team Pasadena will march
to new victories next year.
With the election of Captain Boo¬
rey, Wally Chisholm affixes an “ex”
before his title. His work is done.
Starting the season under the great¬
est cloud of gloom ever darkening
Pasadena, with a pessimistic student
body who seemed to be dll citizens of
Missouri, and with a new coach and
of necessary changes in the entire
coaching system, Wal-
i ly Chisholm has led an
i eleven which, showing
: many weaknesses still
had the great redeem-
! ing feature, a fighting
spirit, through a hard J
season. Playing against j
the greatest Longj
Beach eleven ever de¬
veloped Captain Chis¬
holm’s huskies “never gave up the
ship” and though beaten from the
first, whistle, fought gamely to the
finish. Wally Chisholm himself form¬
ed one of the redeeming features of
the year, his steady defensive work
and his line plunging standing out
! conspicuously, while his punting was
by far superior to any shown in the
County league this year. Though not
a great individual star like Tuffy
Conn or Steve Horrell, a three year
All-Southern man, Ex-Captain Chis¬
holm showed himself a great leader
and that after all is what a captain
is chosen for.
SENIOR PICTURES TO BE
TAKEN IN NEAR
FUTURE .
The senior class picture committee
is working on plans which they will
lay before the class at the next meet-
I ing. They wish to get things started
as soon as possible, so as not to have
any last minute rush before commence
ment. The committee, composed of
i Pauline Stanton, Arthur Ferguson, and
Tubby Ong, is considering the bids
and samples of several photographers.
The ultimate decision in the matter
will be left to the class itself. The
seniors are advised to begin to save up
as it is rumored that th». pictures may
cost a little more this year, on account
of the war. The Annual should be the
best ever this year and the pictures,
being the most important part, must
receive careful consideration.
