Anderson, dean of records. Chronicle Has Full Program Capping a year of strenous scrib¬ bling, the Chronicle staff will offer a special eight-page edition a week from next Thursday a® its final effort of the term. The extra four pages will include three full sheets of pictures and various stories re¬ viewing jaysee highlights, the pic¬ torial section containing all var¬ ieties of sports, activities, and per¬ sonalities. Next Tuesday morning’s Pasa¬ dena Post will appear as an ex¬ clusive creation of the Chronicle staff and junior college advertis¬ ing classes. Nearly all of the jour¬ nalistic and advertising duties reg¬ ularly attributed to the metropol¬ itan staff will be the responsibility of the student writers. Working from early afternoon well into the next day, the embryo Post membership will be headed by Anona Alexander as city editor; Elmer Dethlefs as telegraph editor ; Ruth Herron, rewrites ; Peter Allen, sports; and Harold 0. Weight, features. Reportorial tasks will be taken over by other of the Chronicle writers. Due to the forbidding presence of final exams, no Jaysee publica¬ tions will be run off the presses next week. Smiles on the Campus Dr. Max de Laubenfels may be the guilty party of the present song hit, “Someone Stole Gabriel’s Horn.” Delirious during his recent siege of the mumps, the scales of a would- be cornetist next door disturbed his semi-consciousness. Protest tum¬ bled through his fevered lips, “Oh Gabriel, stop tooting those trumpets and let me dream my own dreams.” Picture Bob Coop’s embarrass¬ ment after the intrepid campaign manager had forcibly dragged a prospective favorable voter to the polls, only to watch him openly in¬ scribe two emphatic X’s after the names of Coop ticket opponents. The ’local fire chief’s son protested loudly and vigorously that such hasty voting was illegal, but only succeeded in getting his face red. It was “Home on the Range” for Philatelic club members last Monday night. After meeting at the Biltmore, as advertised in the bulletin, the stamp collectors foiled an army of clerks and bell¬ hops by dining at a hole in the wall and then tearing out to the К. T. M. bunkhouse of the Ranch Boys. Just as Socony stands for busi¬ ness aggrandizement so does the latest word merger “Dynaehar” stand for success in “developing dynamic character.” Anyway, that s the newest jargon for the new “D” chapter of the Jaysee Y. M. C. A. Donald Carson headed the moniker committee at a regular meeting held Thursday at the downtown “Y. M.” _ Alumni Group Takes Grades Senior graduates will be offi¬ cially welcomed into the P. J. C. Alumni Association, Monday eve¬ ning, June 12, when the organiza¬ tion holds its eighth annual ban¬ quet at the Arcade tea room. * Dr. John W.

C., revealed that a musical program, dancing, and bridge will follow the lecture. The first issue of Alumni Doings will toe presented toy Herman Smith, the president.

Mrs Louise Hoblit, Raymond G. Thompson, and William L. Blair, three officials of the body of five, face stiff competition in today’s race with eight other aspirants to the education posts making a strong bid for votes. John E. Branfield, Addison B. Richey, George V. Rossini, Ray¬ mond C. Durant, John T. Sinnette, Raymond Schultz, Dr. Napoleon Van Praag, and John Walko are the eight candidates who have just concluded their campaign for places now held, in addition to the three incumbent candidates, by Dr. J.

C., Muir Tech, and secondary schools of Pasadena, will present a moving tableaux of the coming of Peace, greeted by Youth, and Education. ^ This picture will be marred by the disonant notes -blocking the way of Peace, and the tearing down of her work.
