JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY _ WILL BE jJELD JUNE 11 Keep this a deep secret and don’t tell anyone! This is not supposed to be known. The Junior-Senior party is to come off Monday, June 11, and they are going to have Egyptian— -but that is better un¬ known, than known. The Huntington Hotel is to be the scene,’ and if advance signs are true, it will be the biggest blowout that P. H. S. has seen for some time. Miss Dora Atkinson, the Junior Class adviser, is working on the plans with the Junior Class officers and although nothing except the time, place, and a few hints about the nature of the entertainment have been mentioned by them, the party looks like a big affair. GIRL RESERVE CABINET ENTERTAINED AT SUPPER Sixteen members of the old and new Girl Reserve Cabinet were en¬ tertained at a supper last Monday evening at the South Pasadena home of Miss Elizabeth Burgess, girls’ work secretary of the У. W. C. A. After supper, served on the lawn, a cabinet meeting was held to arrange certain things for next semester’s work. Miss Fannie Henion and Miss Ruth Merrill were the faculty ad¬ visers present. The publication which is going to make all previous P. H. S. pub¬ lications fade into obscurity beside it is nearing completion, according to Edwin Clark, editor-in-chief of the Annual. Already nine sections are off the press, including the Senior, liter¬ ary, organizations, and dramatic sections, besides the encyclopedia, which forms a new feature of this year’s issue, giving a detailed ac¬ count of each Senior’s activities during his high school career. Several new features have been introduced, the most novel of which is to be a full story of last year’s graduation, with a double page illustration of the exercises in Tournament Park. Also a page is to be devoted to Pasadena High’s pioneer teacher, Roscoe H. Ashley, who has 25 years to his credit. Numerous beautiful poster cuts and illustrations, carrying out the colonial motif, will help to beautify this year’s Annual. ' Plans will be announced later as to the method and time of distri¬ bution. Color Scheme to be Carried Out in Old Rose and Grey JUNIORS WILL ASSIST Each Senior Will Be Given Twenty Tickets this Year IG SGHOL Arthur C. Stewart Victor in Freshman Prize Contest DR. MILLIKAN AWARDER Jefferson^ and Moore Park Also Win Scholarships After serious investigation of the characters and student ability of pupils in Southern California high schools, Dr. Robert A. Milli¬ kan, Chairman of the Executive Council at Caltech, awarded Arthur C. Stewart of Pasadena, Russel J. Love of Jefferson, and James Hart¬ well of Moore Park Union, Fresh¬ men prize scholarships for 1923. These scholarships are present¬ ed annually to deserving students through the generosity of Dr. Al¬ fred C. Noyes, who conceived the idea that all small contributions be devoted to scholarships. Since these awards will give the students training in scientific and technical matters, only the most efficient are given a chance for a course at this college. Thirty entered this contest, and as Dr. Millikan said, “It is a pity that these scholarships do not num¬ ber nine,” for this number proved worthy of consideration. On the same evening the Alumni prize scholarship contest took place, Miss Irene Peters being one of the judges. Frederick G. Theade of San Diego was the win¬ ner of this prize. P. H. S. Represented in Contest Orators from all the larger high schools of Southern California will meet at South Pasadena this eve¬ ning in the Southern California Oratorical Contest which is arrang¬ ed yearly by the Southern Califor¬ nia Debating League. Euphrates Pashgian, who took second in the Davis-Hall Oratorical Contest, will represent P. H. S. Pasadena has a good chance of winning if there is some student body support. Four hundred and sixty-five ex¬ pectant Seniors are eagerly look¬ ing forward to the evening of Thursday, June 14, when, in the spacious new stadium in the Ar¬ royo, the largest and most beau¬ tiful graduation ceremony planned in the State of California will take place amid the beauty of the sur¬ rounding scenery. The class of ’23, being the first to graduate from the new stadium, is planning to open it with flying colors, which in this case will be old rose and grey. At the last Senior meeting it was announced that the boys would wear dark suits, white shirts, black bow ties and black shoes, while the girls would wear simple white dresses as usual. However, color will be provided by the Junior girls, who will also take part. According to present plans, the Seniors will enter from the west, pass to the flagpole, where they will be met by three Junior girls representing Liberty, Victory and Achievement, and from there be led by “Victory” to the platform, where the exercises are to take place. An old-fash¬ ioned garden is being planned in front of the platform, a lily pond being the chief scenic attraction. When the Seniors are in their places, four, buglers attired in white satin costumes, will appear at the four opposite gateways and will herald the entrance of three hundred Junior girls, 44 of whom will be garbed in grey Puritan costumes, 44 in pale pink dresses, 44 in deep pink and 4 4 in old rose. Thus the class colors will be ef¬ fectively shown. The girls not taking part in this portion of the program will wander about the old-fashioned garden, lending add¬ ed beauty to the scene, attired in white trousers and dark coats. The Junior boys will be the ush¬ ers for the occasion. This graduation is expected to be a wonderful affair, especially as Mme. Schuman-Heink is to sing. Dr. Merle N. Smith is to preach the Baccalaureate sermon and Dr. Robert F. Freeman will pronounce the invocation. Representatives of the class will be Oliver Pricket't, class presi¬ dent, and Arthur Syvertson, vale¬ dictorian. Each Senior this year will be given 20 tickets. ■ No. 35 -T-vi ;'.:,-8,ЧЧ"Чй4^г- Snappy|Pregram to Be Given by Juniors for Scholarship Fund Next Tuesday Afternoon Uncle Remus and Uncle John, of the К.

What is it we are hearing about June 5th? Who is re¬ questing that we save that date ? When are we to be on deck on that occasion ? Where is this something going to be held ? On the fifth of June an entertainment is going to be given un¬ der the auspices of the Junior class. When the curtain rises on the scene of action at the high school auditorium, the eyes and ears of that packed house will have something to register in the brain cells of their owners that has never been regis¬ tered there before. Although the Juniors won the envelope scholarship drive, they are not satisfied and intend to raise more money in memory of those who died “Over There.” Therefore the class of ’2 4 is pre¬ senting a new and different kind of entertainment. It is not a drama and cannot be compared to the Junior play. It is not a vaude¬ ville like that presented recently. It is something that will appeal to every type of student in P. H. S. If he is a lover of movies there is a five-reel picture of Tom Mix’s latest production, • the name of which has not been revealed as yet. A Hollywood star has been asked to give a short talk to those present. If you like an impersonator or are a radio fan, “Uncle Remus,” Mr. E. M. Barnell, of radio fame, and “Uncle John” also of ra¬ dio renown, will be on the pro¬ gram. Uncle John is always a good entertainer as every owner of a radio set knows. Uncle Remus will present his novelty act, making melody on an auto harp, and playing a harmonica simultaneously. Mr. Barnell was formerly director of the Swanee Jubilee Singers, and kindly offered his services to the aid of the Scholarship Fund. If you are a lover of music, the Blue Bird girls’ orchestra will ren¬ der some jazz. This orchestra Is composed of talented girl musi¬ cians. This playing is that snappy attractive type that sets your feet in motion on the dance floor. The personnel of the orchestra is as follows: Eleanor Wiggins, leader and pianist; Petronella Stickney, violinist and teacher; Josephine Scholz, violinist; Ruth Ghaster, saxophonist; Dixie Baner, banjo- ist, and A1 Prescott, wielder of drums and traps. These girls ex¬ pressed a willingness to aid the Scholarship Fund. For you who admire beauty and grace, the program committee has arranged for a dance number. It has been rumored that the dancers will be here in person. Tickets will be on sale before this number of the Chronicle comes off the press. If you want to attend the treat of your life, you had better hurry and get a ticket before the Auditorium is sold out. There are only' 1994 seats. Although four years ago P. H. S. was slighted by a royal visitor when King Albert of Belgium was whisked through the city without anyone having a chance to see him, the compensation was re¬ ceived yesterday when Princes Donna Santa Borghese of the royal house honored P. H. S. with a visit. The princess was entertained by Miss Nellie Greene Clarke, dean of girls, Mr. and Mrs. Ewing and the officers of the Girls’ League. While she was going through the print shop the princess had her name set up on the Intertype machine by Mr. Leberman. She complimented Mr. Leberman by telling him that he was the first person to spell her name correctly. Luncheon was served at the : Model apartment where the Girls’ League presented their distinguish¬ ed visitor with a streamer and a bouquet. | - . I P.H.S. STUDENT WILL RECEIVE $10 REWARD Today is the Last Day Free-for-All Contest of Some one in P. H. S. is going to wrin ten dollars. How? Oh, it’s easy. Just write the best pledge for the Senior class to give at commencement and hand it to Miss Holloway in 115-C by 4:30 P. M. tonight. Any one in the school is ! eligible to compete for the prize. Those who attended the com¬ mencement exei’cises last year ,will remember the pledge repeated by the Seniors after Mr. Ewing and how effective it was to the twelve thousand people gathered there. Heretofore Mr. Ewing has written the pledge, but this year he sug¬ gested that some student write it and receive a prize for so doing. It is not to have less than 70 words nor to exceed 120 words. It must be handed in today or it will not count. A copy of last year’s pledge, written by Mr. Ewing, will give some idea as what to write: “We will strive to bring honor to our homes, our school, our city, and our state by honest effort. We will work for the best interests of this community, both along and with many; we will revpre and obey the laws of our city and nation and do our best to incite like respect in others who are prone to annul or set them at naught; we will strive unceasingly to quicken the public sense of civil duty. Thus in all ways we will endeavor to exemplify by word and deed, the ideals of true Amer¬ ican citizens.”
