Needless to say the class of ’18
received a welcome surprise
when the commencement com¬

It was a source of great plea¬

tion from the class of 1918 to de¬
liver the commencement address
on June 14th. Needless to say, I
am little interested in the ques¬
tion of terms and anything which
the class approves will be entire¬

furnish me with the details of the
program and the amount of time
you expect me to use, I shall ap¬
preciate it.
Very Sincerely Yours,
JEROME O. CROSS.

autocrome pictures telling the story
of the devastation of northern France
were shown in the assembly hall.
These auto-crome pictures are actual
photographs which register the ex¬
act coloring of the objects and land-
sicape which they depict. Particular¬
ly beautiful and artistic were the sun¬
set scenes and those showing the poi-
lus, in their horizon blue uniforms, at
work in the trenches.
Madame Marie Santez and M. Dan-
doz are two members of this French
Mission from Paris and they are tour¬
ing the United States in the interests
of the society called Invalides No. 2.
There are at present 450,000 of these
French invalids, many having fami¬
lies dependent upon them, who are
incapacitated for work on account of
illness contracted in the service of
their country. Only those soldiers
who are severely wounded receive a
pension from the French Government.
The society “Invalides Francias No.
”2 is counting upon the generosity
of the American people to contribute
to the support of these brave poilus
who have taken so great a part In
fighting the battles of the Allies.
tion he has ever seen.
Everything remembers the big hit
this clever comedy made at P. H. S.
last year. Even those who did not
understand French were reduced to
tears by the excruciatingly funny sit¬
uations in it. Now they will have an
excellent opportunity to see this fa¬
mous play from the pen of Molier,
one of the most noted of the great
French writers and dramatists, in
English.
Gilmor Brown himself will be the
love-smitten hero and the other im¬
portant parts will be played by the
members of the P. H. S. dramatics
classes. Margaret Davie will take the
role of Lucille and Lois Austin will
play the captivating maid, Nicole. Ed¬
win Mitchell will give another bril¬
liant piece of character work as the
Master of Philosophy.
The play will he enhanced by the
liveliest of French music, and so
exceedingly graceful Parisian danc-
;ug will take place between acts. Be¬
fore the curtain rises the “Marseil¬
laise” will be sung by the audience.
Altogether the atmosphere will be ex¬
tremely Frenchified throughout des¬
pite the English version.

Memorial Day assembly proved one
of the most delightful treats of the
year. The first surprise was the ap¬
pearance of P. H. S.’s glee clubs. Led
by Miss Sabel, they gave several se¬
lections, including, “When the Boys
Come Home,” “Laddie in Khaki,” and
one verse of “It’s a Long Way to
Berlin.” The girls made a charming
picture in their middies and all
doubts as to the becomingness of
next year’s .costume were removed
from the minds of the audience.
P. H. S. was literally taken off its
feet, individually and otherwise, by
the astounding oratorical powers and
electric enthusiasm of that diminu¬
tive “laddie in khaki,” Knox Price.
This little American live wire gave
one of the most stirring speeches P
H. S. has ever heard, and those who
were not stunned by his scathing ar¬
raignment of the slacker, were petri¬
fied by his nimble use of lengthy
words.
The inspiring entrance of the Civil
War veterans with the fife and drum
corps, and the splendid spectacle of
eighteen hundred students standing
at salute as Old Glory went by
brought tears to their eyes.
The speaker of the day then intro¬
duced the youngest commissioned of¬
ficer in the Civil War, Colonel Shep¬
herd. He gave a most interesting and
humorous speech on the war and told
a number of lively anecdotes about
his experience in the conflict. The
fife and drum corps then performed
again, receiving much applause.
Captain Munson, who lost his left
arm in the heat of battle gave an
exceedingly fine talk particularly in
these days of the world’s war. The
many decorations on his coat gave
proof of his courage under fire.
The next speaker, Doctor Gibbon,
gave an
о
rati
от
on “The Last Sol¬
dier.” It was an alelgorical vision of
the year 1943 and the great celebra¬
tion in honor of the last soldier, at¬
tended by many of the chief dignita¬
ries of the nation. There were many
touches of pathos in his address and
the beauty and poetry of his thought
was certainly appreciated by the stu¬
dents.
This assembly was an appropriate
and timely preliminary to the coming
vacation.
One of the most successful branch¬
es of war work which P. H. S. nas
taken up this year has been the sal¬
vage drives. These drives have been
a success from the very beginning
although a great deal more has been
accomplished since the interclass¬
room competition was started. Al¬
most every imaginable article from
a button to a gunny sack has been
called for and great amounts of all
kinds of salvage have been brought
in by the enthusiastic P. H. S.ers.
q*he last and one of the most im¬
portant drives was a miscellaneous
drive. The promotions for the drive
are as follows: General, Arthur Pick¬
et 127c, Charles Prickett 239c, Major,
W-ililam Olsen (223c, (Jack Hofeford
103a, Grace McLemore 124c, Captain,
Esther Olsen 220c, First Lieut., Billy
Mueller 128c, Earl Jardine 122c, Col¬
onel, Winifred Wallace 215c, Ernest
Hamilton 237c. ’
One of the most unique features of
the miscellaneous drive was the auc¬
tion, at which many articles, valu¬
able and otherwise, were sold and
the money taken for war fund. No
less a personage than Art Ferguson
presided at this ceremony and proved
himself a very efficient and lively
tradesman.
Much of the success of the salvage
drives this year is due to the work
of the salvage committee under the
direction of Miss Welborn. A great
deal of credit is also due to Charles
Prickett who has had charge of the
receiving end of the drives and also
to the girls who have been command¬
ers of the drives. They are Dor¬
othy Danner, Mildred Nichols, Helen
Knudson, Ruth Finnell, Helen Cole¬
man, Myrtle Fiedler, Jean Verdier,
Elma Thompson, Greta Carlson and
Virginia Jacobs.

There will be only a few text

state law governing the free dis¬
tribution of books does not go
into effect until 1920. However
as the Board of Education adopts
new books these books will be
loaned to the pupils free of
charge. All the books now in use
this year will have to be purchas¬
ed in the usual manner.
The free distribution of books
is a great thing for the school be¬
cause it aids many students
who would be unable to continue
their high school course under
other conditions.

The sermon will be given June

Dr. Fox has always been popular
with P. H. S., since he has gave
an abbress on Lincoln’s Birth¬
day and on other similar occa¬
sions.
In connection with this event

the producing of "Le Bourgeois Gen-
tllhomme” and special scenery and
costuming will be featured.
Last Tuesday the most Interesting
excursion that has been tagen this
year was taken by Mr. Lewis’ class
of commercial law, to the county
court house.
They first went to the office of the
clerk where Mr. Litchenhurger of the
probate department shewed them
around. The most interesting exhibit
was that of three county seals which
were first used in 1850 when Cali¬
fornia was admitted to the Union
and the county was incorporated.
They then went to the probate de¬
partment where they heard some
wills probated.
Mr. Benny Wilson then showed
them through te attic where the evi¬
dence such as guns, clubs, knives,
pistols, hatchets, axes, and other
things used in cases since 1850 have
been filed. All the short hand notes
of the clerks of the court and all the
records have been saved up there
and some of the girls were very much
interested in them.
The next thing they saw was a
case between two Germans. One
German had poisoned the sausage of
the other and was being sued. This
case proved so very Interesting that
the class wanted to stay for the fin¬
ish but when Mr. Lewis told them of
a murder case going on they went
over to the other court to hear It.
When they had been satisfied with
the murder they went through the
county jail. Two deputy sheriffs
were on hand at the dor to count
them as they went through, and pre¬
vent any mistakes. They found
every thing In the jail very clean and
orderly, all the best sanitation meth¬
ods were in use and when the kitchen
The books procured in the last
drive have at least been mended,
sorted, packed and made ready for
shipment to the soldiers in the train¬
ing camps. The hooks and maga¬
zines turned in were of the best as
many late issues and popular novels
have been donated showing the sac¬
rificing spirit of the givers.
Volunteers from the school have
boxed the hooks under the division
of fiction, nonfiction and textbooks.
The regular book drive plate and the
Resulting in the elecing of four of
next year’s commissioners and the
passin of the new proposed consti¬
tution, the primary election last Fri¬
day proved to he the important one of
the year and brought out a large vote.
Those who will have a place on
next year’s commission are Benny
Puterbaugh, Athletics; Louis Minskey
Finance; A1 Wesson, Publications;
and Esther Brown, Public Welfare.
Only three votes separated Loren
Ryder and Frederick Loomis and
these two will fight it out in the finals
for the commissionership of debating.
In both the offices of Commissioner
of Finance and Commissioner of Pub¬
lic Welfare, only one candidate ran.
Louis Minskey was unanimously elect¬
ed Commissioner of Finance, while
Esther Brown was offered no opposi¬
tion for Commissioner of Public Wel¬
fare.
Although there were three in the
race for Athletics, Benny Puterbaugh
was given the majority over Brooks
Gifford and Frank Von Mohrj and his
name will not have to he voted on
again in the finals.
The office of Publications was also
decided in the primaries There were
but two candidates for that position*
and as Alfred Wesson took the ma¬
jority of votes, he will not have to gc
through the formalities of another
election. The result of the race for
Publications leaves hut one girl on
the commission.
The proposed constitution carried
with a strong vote as did the question
of paying student body dues. Pasa¬
dena High will he run under the new
constitution next year and will con¬
tinue to have student body dues.
In every instance the elected ones
made a clear cut victory. The elec¬
tion was run off in an efficient man¬
ner, and although the vote was small
in comparison to the number of stu¬
dent body members, it was as large
as the usual primaries.
The vote by precincts was as fol.

RED CROSS DRIVE
NETS MUCH CASH
AT PASADENA HIGH
A week ago Monday P. H. S.
went gloriously over the top In
its drive for the Red Cross. When
the results were added up there
was a total of $550.58 cash and
$67.42 pledges which when paid
up will make $618.00.
Today the contributors are to
receive their Red Cross badges
which have just been completed
by the printing department.
