New Student President i: tvCfe Я маррМ " * * •I > - «V ipj; «I ШШШ si* ШШ Courtesy Pasadena Campus JACK Jack Young, quarterback on Coach Frank Baker’s upper di¬ vision football team last season, was elected president of the Pasadena junior college student body last Friday when he de¬ feated Sydney Edwards in the finals of the spring election. YOUNG Young’s total count was 1159 and Edwards’ was 1009. Although Young has made no definite plans for next year, he declares he will extend a great deal of effort toward the sup¬ port of the restrictive club com¬ petitive assemblies. ATHLETES WILL RECEIVE PASSES - - ♦ - - High Grades and Sports Accomplishments Are Basis for Life Award Decisions Grads Note Rites of Old In Festival Upholding the honorable tradi¬ tion of parading idleness and jaunty outfits before admiring low¬ er classmen, graduating seniors and sophomores will hold their an¬ nual Class Day June 14. To entertain the “lords of cre¬ ation,” Woodrow Thillen, chairman of the affair, has planned a pro¬ gram in the auditorium, marked by reading of the class will and pro¬ phecy. Tender momentoes, such as inner tubes, rattles, and socks, will be left to non-graduating friends. After these exercises, the audi¬ ence will adjourn to the front steps where the 1932 plaque will be laid, followed by the formal planting о and oak tree. News Channel Undercurrents Four junior college athletes will receive passes to all athletic con¬ tests for the rest of their lives because they are three-year lettermen and good scholars. Burnie Craig, Steve Salisian, Charles Cotton, and Bill Ramsay - - *have been approved for this honor by the board of representatives, and will be awarded the passes, which are small medals, at the final as¬ sembly. This is the first time that awards of this type have been made here. In his final year in track, Burnie Craig was: captain and performed in the high-jump, reaching six feet several times. He also managed the upper division cross-country team in 1930. Besides winning three letters in basketball, Salisian has earned monograms as manager of upper and lower division baseball and football teams. Last year Steve was yell king and this year a yell leader. A-t the halfback position Cotton won the Elks club most valuable player award in 1930 and played on the upper division eleven last sea¬ son. The most versatile member in the group is Ramsay, who earned trip¬ le stripes in both baseball and foot¬ ball. Bill captained the Bulldog pigskin team from the guard posi¬ tion in 1930 and was basketball manager two years ago. In baseball he played behind the plate. Blushing brightly, about one- third of P. J. C.’s student body re¬ turned from holiday beach scenes to the regular school routine, on Tuesday, with imploring entreaties that friends greet them with hearty handshakes instead of bro¬ therly back-slaps. Although the swift locomo¬ tion afforded by skates would be a blessing to many whose alarm clocks are out of order, very few junior college stu¬ dents take advantage of this golden opportunity to arrive at school on time, and instead place the honor on meek pledges who may often be seen trundling on eight wheels. Never in the history of school¬ days were there so many head, eye, and back aches as this week, following the writing of numerous term reports, terr projects, book reports, and oral reports, besides the cramming for the neglected subjects which will take their toll next week. Zero Hour Nears as Martyrs Prepare for Exam Struggle Chewed pencils and worn erasers, ery much in evidence today, pre- ent further proof that the leaves ndeed turn the night before exams. Incited by fleeting glimpses of a long-awaited vacation, tired-eyed tudents will struggle to tests this ifternoon to begin the second lap f final exams. Tuesday and Phursday classes will go on trial his afternoon. Second period classes will go to the posts next Monday morning, while third, fourth, and fifth hour tests will be held Tuesday, Wednes¬ day, and Thursday. First period exams will take place on Friday. Nine o’clock will 'be the zero hour for Monday, Wednesday, Friday classes, and 1 o’clock for Tuesday, Thursday groups.
