Traditions Carried Out Ini
Two Social Affairs
Monday
A. M. S. IS SPONSOR
Hal Lomen’s Orchestra To
Play For Dance
At Civic
Beginning a new tradition and
carrying out an old will be the pur¬
pose of two affairs planned for
next Monday, February 1, when
registration for the new semester
will be held.
Sponsored by the associated men
students, a registration day party
will be held in the men’s gym from
10 a. m. to 3 p. m. Under the direc¬
tion of Vernon Leif, music and
games will be furnished. Admit¬
tance to the party will be by bring¬
ing a new student, as the purpose
of the party, according to Leif, is
to get acquainted with the new stu
dents.
Under the direction of Barbara
Milliken, secretary of social affairs,
the annual Homecoming dance will
be held in the Civic auditorium be¬
ginning at 8:30 Monday night. Bids,
selling at 25 cents, can be obtained
in the student body office in the
Student Union building or at the
door.
Hal Lomen’s orchestra will fur¬
nish the music for the occasion,
and, according to Miss Milliken, it
is hoped that the entire student
body will attend the affair, but that
new students especially will be
there as it is held at the beginning
of each semester in their honor.
According to Leif, there will
probably not be dancing at the reg¬
istration party because of the for¬
mality which dancing creates
among the students, thus giving
the new people little chance to get
acquainted, which is the main pur¬
pose of the affair.
Another traditional affair which
is held the first week of each se
mester is, the Y. M. C. A.-Y. W.
C. A. Hi-Jinks, which will be held
in the men’s gym on Friday night,
February 5. Because of the basket¬
ball game scheduled for that night,
the party will be held following the
game.
The following week the associ¬
ated men and associated women
students will entertain new stu¬
dents on Wednesday, February 17.
Wednesday afternoon the A. W. S.
will present a party honoring new
students and old in the men’s gym
at 3:15.
The first stag of the new semes¬
ter will be held by the A. M. S.,
Wednesday at 7:30 p. m. in the
men’s gym. As yet the programs
for these two affairs have not been
announced.
Guild Chooses
New Officers
Roy Winder was selected to the
presidency of Players’ Guild at an
election held during club period
Friday, January 15. Other officers
chosen were Patsy Burr, vice-presi¬
dent; Barbara Barnett, secretary;
and Murrav Huss, treasurer. These
officers will serve during the com¬
ing semester.
Miss E. E. Keppie, adviser of
Players’ Guild, announced recently
that any upper divison student in¬
terested in trying out for member¬
ship in the club is asked to notify
her in room 208Q. Requirements
for trying out are 30 lines from a
play, in which two or more char¬
acters speak, memorized. The date
for these tryouts will be an¬
nounced later.
During the meeting, Dorothy
June Evans, secretary of Delta Psi
Omega, honorary dramatics frater¬
nity, invited Players’ Guild mem¬
bers to join Delta Psi members on
a tour through the new Comunity
Playhouse School of the Theatre.
The tour will be held January 27,
at 3:30.
CONVOCATION IS
PLANNED BY CLUB
Jackson Wilcox was elected new
president by the Roger Williams
club at its meeting in 207E, Fri¬
day, January 15. Other officers
elected were vice-president, Viola
Fredericks; secretary. Constancy
Read; and treasurer, Juanita Han¬
sen.
These new officers are planning
the March convocation, which will
feature Rev. Fenwick Fowler of
the Monrovia Baptist church. The
first meeting of the new semester,
which is also being planned by the
new officers, will be held Tuesday,
February 3.
Probably the most serious flood situation that has ever hit Ameri¬
ca is now inundating at least all of the Middle Western states, causing
intense suffering, extensive damage and terror. To help alleviate the
situation, various relief agencies must have money with which to buy
desperately needed medical supplies, temporary shelters, food, pure
water and the transportation ,to-*- -
move at least 500,000 inhabitants | other relief funds. Many Eastern
from areas not yet fully struck by ; colleges and high schools have
the flood waters of the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers. To help in this
work, a collection will be taken
from among the members of the
student body during the assembly
this morning, according to Dr. John
W. Harbeson, principal, and Sam
Schwartz, president of the Assoc¬
iated Student body.
The American Red Cross, which
has taken partial charge of relief
function in the inundated areas,
has issued a call for funds, and
these are very much needed. Over
1,000,00 inhabitants are homeless,
223 are known dead, great num¬
bers are missing and damage has
been estimated at over three-hun¬
dred-million dollars.
In the wake of this extensive
damage and destruction has come
disease, looting of the destroyed
areas and a general reign of terror.
“The plea for funds has come as
a result of the desperate need for
food, water, medical supplies and

raised as much as $500 to $1000
each to aid in this great work, and
it is only fitting that Pasadena
should join with them,” said
Schwartz. “Going without a movie,
a few ice cream cones, or some¬
thing of the sort, is surely a small
price to pay in order to take part
in this great movement.
“There is nothing compulsory in
this collection, in accordance with
a school ruling, but it is such a
worthy cause that it seems as
though it should be possible for
practically every student of this
school to contribute a small sum
of money for relief.”
The faculty is joining the student
body in carrying on this work. In
a bulletin to the faculty issued last
Wednesday, Dr. Harbeson urged
that faculty members contribute as
much as $1.00 each to add to the
fund which will be sent immediate¬
ly to the Red Cross headquarters.
The Chronicle gladly joins with
•these officials in urging those stu¬
dents who can afford it to contrib¬
ute. The relief of such a situation
as confronts this country is no easy
task, and the money to carry it out
is one of the most important things
to consider.
“It will give Pasadena junior col¬
lege a part of real importance in
this relief work if enough money
is raised to substantially help out.
Any amount, no matter how small,
will help raise the total fund, and
it is hoped that we can make a
success of this venture,” Schwartz
concluded.
Holding both open and closed
neetings, approximately 20 non-
estrictive and 14 restrictive clubs
onvened during the last club per-
od of the year, Friday, January
Club Elects
Six Officers
A general assembly was held on
the bleachers for students who did
not desire to attend any of the
club meetings. Representatives of
Zeta Gamma Phi, Phi Rho Pi, Al¬
pha Gamma Sigma, Theta Rho Pi
and Beta Phi Gamma, honorary
fraternities, explained the func¬
tions and puproses of these groups.
Those who spoke in behalf of their
organizations were James Hawkins,
Franklin Patterson, Kenneth Bod-
ger, Jack Pettingall and Harriette
Hills. Members of the Pasadena
junior college ROTC gave a parade,
and First Lieutenant Jim Moffet
and Second Lieutenant Dick Fret-
ter, using both sword and dagger
at once, gave an exhibition duel.
In addition to the non-restrictive
clubs, two restrictive clubs, Gun-
aike and One Club, also held meet¬
ings open to any students desir¬
ous of attending. Murray G. Hill,
head of the English department,
was the speaker for the Gunaike
club, and One Club featured a talk
on the care of the skin, by Miss
Gladys Carleton, head of F. C.
Nash’s cosmetics department.
Bill Weil, secretary of organiza¬
tions, who is in charge of the club
periods, said, “This action shows a
fine spirit of cooperation on the
part of these two clubs, and
such meetings are instrumental in
helping to break down the errone¬
ous attitude that restrictive clubs
foster a stiff and unfriendly at¬
mosphere on the campus.”
INFLUENZAD ANGER
IS SEEN BY DOCTOR
Influenza is making itself a ma¬
jor problem in some cities in Cali¬
fornia at the present day, according
to Dr. R. H. Brown, city schools
physician. Though it is not as seri¬
ous as the 1918-1919 type, it de¬
serves mention as an important
disease, Dr. Brown announced in
the health department bulletin
number 45, recently.
“Because of the ready communi¬
cability of the illness, students ex¬
hibiting signs of it — much the same
symptoms as an ordinary cold —
should be sent home and excluded
from school for at least a week,”
said Dr. Brown. “Upon return to
activity, there should be no physi¬
cal education for a period of at
least two weeks following complete
recovery.”
MAGNATURA PICKS

were chosen Friday morning, Janu¬
ary 15. Officials of the dub for the
coming semester will be Bud Tem-

Friday, January 15; Father O’Shea

Principal Greets
New Students
At Pasadena
Cordial greetings and a
hearty welcome to all new stu¬
dents at Pasadena junior col¬
lege! We are happy to receive
you into our student body and
share with you the joy of living
and working together in the
friendly atmosphere of our col¬
lege campus.
Pasadena junior college stu¬
dents are guided by a spirit of
cooperation and good will rather
than by rules and regulations.
The few rules we do have are
important and appear elsewhere
in this issue of the Chronicle.
Study them carefully and let us
all unite in their observance. But
more important still let us cul¬
tivate ideals worthy of the re¬
spect and esteem of our entire
community. This is the spirit
of Pasadena junior college.
