Hooding ceremony to precede Baccalaureate service, June 13 Dr. G. Bryon Done, of the University of Southern California, School of Religion, is to be the speaker at the Baccalaureate services, June 13. The program will start at 4 o’clock. Seniors are to meet in front of the Mirror Pools at 3:15 for the hooding ceremony. Stoles will be given at this time only. The seniors will form a processional and march from the front of the school into the Sexson Auditorium where the ceremony is to take place. The Euterpeans and the A Cappella Choir will provide music with Jeanne Eisen as soloist. Al¬ though only seniors will participate in the actual services, graduating sophomores are cor¬ dially invited to get tickets for Blythe decamps, sends soldiers to JC for fun; dance in gym follows show As the final gesture of the year, PJC’s War Council will present a “Blythe Review” tonight in the John Sexson Auditorium. JC stu¬ dents and men from the Blythe Camp will participate in the show, which promises entertainment for every member of the family. Beginning at 7:00, a boxing exhibition will be given. Captain Frank Barnes is bring twelve of the camp’s pugilists down to show Pasadenans what Army training does for the men. At 8:00, the lighter part of the program will begin. The Nysean singers, under direction of Miss Lula Parmley, will repeat the program recently given at Camp Blythe. This will consist of songs by the entire group, solo numbers, novelty skits, and dances. The Mel¬ ody Maids, semi-modern musical group, will play several of the selections that went over so well at the Camp. High spot on the show will be the dance band which is being sent down from Blythe to play numbers on the show and also to play for the dance which is to be held after the program in the women’s gym. A 50c ticket to the entertainment will admit anyone to the dance afterwards. Sale of tickets has been handled through the English Depart- ment, under the direction of Mr. Hill. All classes have been asked to sell as many tickets as possible. Tickets will also be on sale in the Student Union and at the door, Friday night. Purpose of this show will be to raise funds to furnish the hos¬ pital rooms at Blythe. When the Nysaeans visited the Camp, they found that the recreation rooms equipped by PJC students were in excellent condition, but the hospital rooms were dreary and drab. Several of the faculty members who accompanied the girls on the trip, were impressed by the lack of cheer and decided to do some¬ thing about it. The result is tonight's program. The War Council is very pleased with the cooperation that the students of JC have shown toward all of the drives con¬ nected with Blythe. Stated Mr. Hill. “We started out to equip one room, and ended by finishing six. We expected a few boxes of cookies, and received 1500 dozen.” It is hoped that the students will cooperate as well on the sale of tickets for tonight’s show. When the 35 men coming up from Blythe leave for the return trip tomorrow morning, they will take with them another load of oockies, as the final effort of the JC student body for this year. Sum¬ mer activities are in the offing for the camp but no definite plans have been made as yet. Students choose plaque; commemorate service men Number 10, a brightly-painted red and white striped shield sur¬ rounded by the insignias of the various services was the plaque choosen by the students in their voting last Friday, with four and five running second and third, respectively. The plaque was one of thirteen submitted by members of an Art Structure class and its designer Betty Lou Lutz has since left school to enroll in a Production Illustration class doing her part on home defense as a plane drafter. Originating in the office of Dean Anderson, Roger Wood and committee Gladys Dd Lancy and Dave Kilmer, the plan is to repro¬ duce the plaque on a large card which will be hung in the case at the left of the auditorium. Carrying out the, idea of a Memorial Placard, numbers will be added to the card to represent the number of men who are in the service and the number of men lost from PJC. A service flag will also be added to the flag pole outside the school with the correct number of silver and gold stars. The Memorial Placard has been contrived as a reminder of our part in the war and the part we are playing on the home front. their families and friends at the student bank. Seniors may obtain tickets at the bank, too. Four¬ teenth year graduates should be fitted for caps and gowns at the bookstore immediately. Under the supervision of Gladys DeLancy and Roger Wood, plans are well under way toward completion for the Senior Class Breakfast. Both 14-1 and 14-2 students are in¬ vited. The breakfast will be held, as usual, in front of the school by the Mirror Pools at 7:30 on the morning of the last day of school, June 17. Contrary to any previous date/ mentioned, this is the final de¬ cision of the committee as to the date of the breakfast. A sixty cent meal has been planned. The school is paying twenty-five cents for each at¬ tending student. The cost to the student will be only thirty-five cents. The class plaque will be pre¬ sented to the school at this time and may be laid in the walk at the breakfast. Previous classes have presented bronze plaques but the Class of '43, for the first time, will give a plaque made of some other substance. This is because of war-time restrictions and the inability of the class to get a bronze plaque. The last assembly of the se¬ mester will be held the morn¬ ing of June 17 PJC artists produce text Off the presses this week rolls a new PJC publication, “Issues of Aims of the War,” textbook for Issues and Aims and United States l-2b classes.
