Usual
New Students
To Meet Pals
As Is Custom
Each semester as school starts,
there are many new students to
introduce to the traditions and
ways of the school. Most of these
students will be from the various
junior high schools throughout
the city, some of them will come
from neighboring high schools,
and a few will come from pri¬
vate schools, and out of state or
northern California schools.
Senior sisters or brothers are
chosen to guide these bewildered
girls and boys through the maze
of buildings here at PJC. The
Senior Pals are chosen from the
older students at the school, es¬
pecially those who are active in
school affairs.
The program this year is made
up of varied activities. At 1:30
in the afternoon on Sunday, Feb¬
ruary 9, the pals will meet the
new students at the West Cam¬
pus. There they will become ac¬
quainted with this campus. After
this the students will travel to
the East Campus, where they
will learn how the East Campus
is run. Then will come the tra¬
ditional Vesper services in the
Sexson Auditorium. These Ves¬
pers, held every year for new
students, include an invocation
by a prominent Pasadena minis¬
ter, choral singing, and speeches
by the student leaders.
Following these Vesper serv¬
ices at 4:30 there will be a Tea
in the East Campus student
union for all those attending the
Pal Day.
Deadline Today
For Service Points
Each semester students have
many extra-curricular activities
which give them “rewards,” in
the form of service points. These
are given for everything to work¬
ing on the election board, mak¬
ing sandwiches for the football
team, working in the library,
holding student body offices,
working for the Chronicle, to
ushering at assemblies.
To claim these points, cards
should be obtained at the Stu¬
dent Union, filled out by “em¬
ployees,” and returned not later
than January 24. Senior deadline
has come and gone, so their
work must now pass unnoticed.
Monday, January 27 — Semes¬
ter Exams begin!
Friday, January 31 — Pluto¬
crats’ Informal Dinner and
Dance, 6:30 p. m.
Saturday, February 1 — Place¬
ment Exams.

Latest additions to the cast
are winsome girls in sarongs, a
la Lamour. Also of note is a fire
dance, which consists of a chorus
dressed in costumes of orange
and red.
SEAMSTEK
Somewhat startling to a seam¬
stress will be the fact that all of
the costumes were made by men
students. The story is that the
girl in charge of making the
CLOYD HOWARD
costumes was sick during the
Christmas vacation, the time set
for creating the costumes, and
the boys on the staff had to
pinch-hit.
In as much as the whole pro¬
duction is a student project, the
stage men will use their own dis¬
cretion in lighting and prepar¬
ing the stage. Usually the boys
work under the direction of the
stage adviser but in this case
they will be allowed to use their
initiative in their work. Settings
were designed by the stage de¬
sign class of William O. Payne.
Acting as comedy relief, a
draft dodger will be seen in and
out of the play. This fellow, it
seems, is afraid to go home and
learn his draft number. How he
gets to India, scene of most of
the action, is unknown.
Some of the effects and dia¬
logue are taken from a play
which the producer, Paul Carroll,
wrote when 12 years old. This
material, however, has been
changed to appeal to a more ma¬
ture audience.
So far as may be ascertained,
action centers on a Genii who es¬
capes from a bottle when the
leading lady, out of curiosity,
opens the bottle. The Genii im¬
mediately takes the leading lady
on a ride into the future.
Twenty-five cents admission
with ticket No. 21, and in case
any relatives decide to attend,
they must pay 35 cents.
Pasadena Men Attend
Dedication of Long Beach
JC Student Union
Everbusy principal of Pasa¬
dena Junior College, Dr. John
Harbeson, traveled afield yes¬
terday when he, together with
Rufus Mead and James O’Mara
were Pasadena’s representatives
at the dedication of Long Beach
Junior College’s new Student
Union. This project, like PJC’s
forthcoming project, represents
the crowning desire of the stu¬
dent body and has been achieved
only through years of work and
planning on the part of the stu¬
dents.
INVITATION EXTENDED
An invitation was extended to
all Western Division Administra¬
tion heads to be present at the
formal opening yesterday. Cere¬
monies w'ere held immediately
after luncheon which was served
to the officials and dignitaries
present.

Building
Pasadena’s vistors looked
down the length of the mirror
pool at a group of white-walled
buildings, and were a bit curious
as to what the institution might
be. School executives, learning
that students and store man¬
agers across the way had been
pressed with questions, decided
that letters representing Pasa¬
dena Junior College should be
placed on the central hall of
learning. These were set up on
January 11.
Condemnation of many South¬
ern California Buildings follow¬
ing the catastrophies of the Long
Beach earthquake included those
of the old Pasadena High school.
Immediately an Arabic horde of
tents sprang up on the parking
lots and classes were conducted
in their narrow confines, and no
plastered walls were there to di¬
vide the German and Latin bab¬
ble. The wrecking and recreat¬
ing of the school brought forth
changes. The main building was
named in honor of the great pub¬
lic educator, Horace Mann. In
campus lingo it is referred to as
the “C” building but its formal
name today is Pasadena Junior
College.
Kantella Sponsors
Philharmonic Visit
An important invitation is be¬
ing made by Mrs. Carolyn Weer-
sing, adviser for the Kantellas,
to attend the February 1 concert
of the Los Angeles Philharmonic
Orchestra under the direction of
Albert Coates. Mrs. Weersing
has a limited number of main
floor seat tickets which she will
sell to any interested students
for 20 cents.
Robert Dorriss was elected
president of Kantella, succeeding
Gabriel Bartold, Judith Ayer be¬
came vice-president and Kath¬
leen Blick the new correspond¬
ing secretary at the meeting
January 20. Other officers chos¬
en were Thornton Chamberlain,
treasurer, and Helen Nomura,
recording-secretary.
Pianists Hold Tea
Members of the advanced and
repertoire piano classes will hold
a musical tea on Tuesday after¬
noon, February 4. The event will
take place in the music building,
and Miss Carrie Sharp invites
all members of the faculty and
student body to attend.
the Rocky Mountains in its mem¬
bership. Pasadena is the only ju¬
nior college represented on the
official board of the association.
HARD WORKING DOCTOR
Long active in the organization’s
activities, particularly in their
annual fall conventions, Dr. Sea-
bolt has taken great interest in
their creditable work among
west coast institutions. From her
desk in PJC’s little publicized
health department she has done
much for the Pacific Coast divi¬
sion. Thus, her election to one
of the organization’s highest of¬
fices last week made a fitting
climax of her past labors on the
part of American Student Health
Association.

Open Letter

MetFiod Used To

January 23, 1941
Mr. Harlan Erickson, President
Associated Students
Pasadena Junior College
Pasadena, California.
My Dear Harlan:
Please accept my hearty con¬
gratulations on the efficient man¬
ner in which you have handled
the charges of fraud in our re¬
cent Junior College election. I
also congratulate the student
body on the maintenance of stan¬
dards which will not tolerate
such conduct at elections. You
have promptly moved toward the
prosecution of the guilty parties,
and what some of them probably
interpreted to be a joke has turn¬
ed out to be serious business
when faced with the exacting
standards of the student govern¬
ment of Pasadena Junior Col¬
lege.
It took Kansas City thirty
years to apprehend and prosecute
the political boss who was regu¬
larly, from one election to the
next, controlling the politics of
that city. Everybody knows the
long period of fraudulent prac¬
tices which retained a corrupt
city administration in Chicago.
Similar examples could be quoted
from other prominent cities in
the United States.
The fact that when such things
have occured, you, as president
of the student government in our
college, have proceeded immedi¬
ately to expose and prosecute,
speaks volumes of credit for the
efficiency and honesty of our
student democracy. By the con¬
tinuance of these same high
standards and practices, during
the years that are to come when
shortly you will be functioning
as voting citizens in the great
American democracy, we will
maintain unimpaired the heri¬
tage of freedom which we have
inherited from the great found¬
ers of our Republic.
Very sincerely,
JOHN W. HARBESON,
Principal.
Mel Best To Play
At Frosh Club Dance
In Altadena Tonight
Mel Best, JC student musician,
who has been so well received
at various parties around Pasa¬
dena and the campus, furnishes
the music for the Frosh Club
dance to be held in the Altadena
Recreation Hall located at the
top of North Lake Avenue. Tic¬
kets, which are 40 cents per
couple, may be obtained either
from members of the Frosh
Club or at the school bank. Since
the affair is open, they may also
be purchased at the door tonight.
Both Frosh clubs, represented
by their presidents, Toni Mc-
Clung and Bessie Liljenwall,
East and West Campuses re¬
spectively, are working to make
their good time dance far super¬
ior to any ever given by the pre¬
vious Frosh women’s organiza¬
tions.

To Sponsor
Coming Banquet
During the football season
many of the students served
Pasadena Junior College best by
working in the Rose Bowl.
These people were the advis¬
ors, ushers, Argonauts, guards,
shieldmen and the boys in the
band.
They made the cold evenings
more enjoyable and pleasant by
offering their services on the
various nights that our boys
were fighting to hold back that
line.
The Associated Students and
the Athletic Department are
sponsoring a banquet to be held
at the colorful Supper Club in
Los Angeles. The honored stu¬
dents are meeting on the East
Campus at the Student Union.
They are to be there at 5:00
o’clock Friday, January 24. It
will last until 8:00 o’clock that
evening.
This is the second time the
event has been held. Last year
it turned out very successfully,
all those who attended had a
marvelous time.
They are expecting all the in¬
vited students to be present this
year and again make the event
enjoyable and something to look
forward to.
PJC Students Pass
Navy Training Course
Word has come from the Na¬
val Reserve Base in Long Beach
that former PJC students, Jack
Biren and John D. Kepler, have
successfully completed the eli¬
mination flight training course.
These men will now be trans¬
ferred to one of the Navy’s train¬
ing centers at Pensacola, Jack¬
sonville, or Corpus Christi,
where as a Naval Aviation Ca-*
det, they will receive what is
generally accerted as the most
comprehensive flight and ground
training available in the aero¬
nautical world.

ecutive committee of the American Student Health Associa¬
tion’s Pacific Coast Division.
Devoted to the promotion of student health in colleges
and universities, the association
