Mr. Wilson gave a talk on the im¬ portance of the play and the duty of the Senior class to support it. Vari¬ ous members of the class then ex¬ pressed their opinions on the subject and Dean Ireland, manager of the play, told all the necessary details. The Seniors were urged to take at least eight tickets aRiece to sell, as a full house is the aim of the class. The boys then voted to wear stiff collars and dark suits at commence¬ ment and a motion was passed that the president elect a committee to look into the matter of the class gift to the school.

DON PALMER Don Palmer, candidate for Commis- “Mater,” a play of Percy Mackaye, America’s best known poet and dra¬ matist, will be given by the Senior class tomorrow night in the High School Auditorium. A cast of five which has been drilling and rehears¬ ing tirelessly for the past month un¬ der the direction of Miss Eloise Sterling, teacher of dramatic expres¬ sion, will present the play, and by its hard and unceasing efforts has worked the production up to such a point of dramatic perfection that it gives promise of being one of the greatest Senior class plays in his¬ tory. Percy Mackaye, author of “Mater,” has written many plays and poems that have put him in the foremost place in the dramatic and poetic realms of the present day In America: He is the author of “The Scare¬ crow,” “Jeanne D’Arc,” “The Canter¬ bury Tales,” and several other plays which are among the best known of the modern dramas. “Mater” is one of Mackaye’s best works, and in it his poetic touches and dramatic fin¬ ish combined with his human under¬ standing and sympathy make it one of America’s choicest plays. “Mater” is by no means a “high-brow” or a poetic fanciful bunch of nothing which high school students dread. It is ' a delightful comedy with real hu¬ man people in it. It is a comedy that rollicks at times and at other mo¬ ments slows down to a serious trend, hut it is at all times a real laugh- producing comedy that has an appeal for any boy or girl or man or woman in America. The scene of the play is laid in the home of Mrs. Dean, who is known by her family and friends as “Mater.” The stage setting has been furnished through the kindness of Robinson’s of Los Angeles, and a new and valuable set of wicker furniture has been promised without cost. The manage¬ ment of the play had considerable dif¬ ficulty in getting the furniture for the scenes, but Robinson’s not only offered to furnish a very veautiful stage set, but refused to even allow the Senior play management to pay the cost of bringing it over from Los Angeles. The members of the cast are Kate Heffner, Lois Austin, Albert Green- street, Kenneth Taber, and Glenn Balch. The story hinges about the political aspirations of Michael Dean, son of “Mater,” played by Albert Greenstreet. Michael has high politi¬ cal ideals and intends to reform the country, and his opposition and later assistance by Arthur Culver, a rather corrupt politician, bring about many amusing situations and much lively conservation. The part of Cul¬ ver is played by Glenn Balch. “Mater” is a lovable mother of her two dignified children, Michael and Mary Dean, and- has one of the liveli¬ est parts of the play. “Mater,” who is played by Kate Heffner, aids Mich¬ ael in his political struggle against his will, and for a time seems to have made a pretty mess of things. How Michael’s problems and the troubles of all of the characters are solved by “Mater” in the end forms the action of the play. Rudolph Verbeck, a rather slow fellow who cannot quite keep up with Michael’s progressive political views, is played by Kenneth Taber. Ru¬ dolph loves Mary Dean, and for a while seems to be having a hopeless struggle until “Mater” steps in and through her lovableness and humot makes — but you wifi like the play bet¬ ter if you don’t know how everything is to come out. “Mater” is the kind of a comedy ■ that makes you laugh while you see I it, and then makes you remember it and think about it after it is over. It is not a humorous play with a lot : of talk and nothing else; it is an artis¬ tic comedy with an appeal by one of the best playwrights of the age. Tickets for the play are being sold for less this year than usual, the rea¬ son being that the management of the production want to have as many as possible witness its presentation and would like to have the entire auditorium filled. The prices are 25, 35, and 50 cents. Tickets may be bought at the High School or at ! Jarvis & Prinz. The program follows: CHARACTERS IN THE COMEDY Matilda Dean, “Mater” . ■ . . Kate Grayburn Heffner | The school is coming to a sud¬ den close, sudden because it seems so near when, the last time you thought about it, vacation seemed so far away. Along with all the rest of the excitement of the end of school comes the Girls’ League election. The elec¬ tion is to be held next Tuesday. A' vice president, secretary, and treasurer will be elected. The president is the Commissioner of Public Welfare and will be elect¬ ed at the Student Body election. The petitions are to be obtained from Miss Clarke by the candi¬ dates or their managers. Fifty signatures of League members "must be attached to a petition before a candidate is nominated. All girls of Pasadena High School are members of the Girls’ League. The petitions must be handed in not later than Friday night.

KENNETH TABER Kenneth Taber, one of the finest all around fellows in the school and one who has been popular in athletics, is a candidate for the Commissioner- ship of Athletics. He has shown his executive ability bv his success in the past years. The chances for a prosperous athle¬ tic future for next year are very en¬ couraging, and you may he sure to further them by voting for a person who has done his duty for you and his school. CLIFFORD BOOREY ROBERT ATWILL In placing before the Student Body the name of Robert Atwill, I know that you are considering a candidate who gets behind every school activity, nad who is one of the most popular lads in the school. Where can we find a more energetic fellow to keep up the enthusiasm in debating, a man with as much ability, and as good a school a great deal of support in both athletics and other activities, being on the tennis team, sporting editor on the Chronicle, and manager of the track team. As sporting editor of the school paper he has shown his ability to handle this kind of work successfully; and am glad to be able to place be¬ fore the students of P. H. S. his name as candidate for the position of Com¬ missioner of Publications.

HOWARD WILSON. ETNA STOUT Etna Stout, candidate for Commis¬ sioner of Public Welfare, Is from all angles fitted for the position. She is capable, sincere, willing to work, and not only will she see a thing through, but she will stay to clean up. As president of the Girls’ League the Commissioner of Public Welfare has double duties to perform, but Etna Stout, through experience, un¬ derstands the organization and atti¬ tude of the League to such an extent that she could well fill the two of¬ fices and do justice to both. MARIE BLICK, Manager. CHRONICLE ANNUAL WORK IS WELL ON WAY The Chronicle Annual is fast near¬ ing completion and will be for sale to the students probably at the com¬ mencement of the last week of school, if not before that time. This "mas¬ ter” volume is to be the crowning glory of the publications department and is to- be as large if not larger than last year’s issue. To begin with, the cover is made of the new non-bustible material, in a shade designated by many and sundry adjectives, namely, buff, tan, or coffee colored. This cover is guar¬ anteed not to remove or detach iteslf upon being touched, but will remain faithfully by the rest of the book for many years hence. There are a great many additional features in this maga¬ zine that did not appear in some of the former issues, namely, many pic¬ tures of the clubs, two paged pic¬ tures of the four classes, pictures of Ralph “Blackie” Hosier, for several years one of the most prominent P. H. S. students, will write special articles for the Chronicle for the remaining issues this year. “Blackie” was a member of the Chronicle staff that published Pasadena High’s first paper back in the spring of 1915, and for three years was one of its principal writers. He was sporting editor for two years and special sports writer during his last year. He was also always prominent in every form of school activities. Hosier “went over” with the rest of the Ambulance Corps boys to Italy and there saw active service along with the rest. He is hack in Pasa¬ dena now and has consented to write a few lines about some of the ex¬ periences of his friends who were well known in P. H. S. and also some general articles on the war. His first article follows and more are to come for the remaining issues of the Chronicle. By RALPH HOSLER j When Uncle Sam decided in April, : 1917, to take a healthy wallop at the Kaiser, a large number of students I and graduates, all desirous of being an atom of strength behind that wallop, ambled over to the enlisting offices, surrendered their personal liberties, a right of trial by jury, said “I do,” and were off to the different camps to ; prepare themselves for the big fight. Some were lucky and went over- 1 seas, and some were not, but even at j that all had a part in delivering the final Argonne punch that floored the military Willie for the count of eight. Tt last real haymaker was never started, for Willie H. decamped, quit like a yellow dog, leaving his innum- | erable seconds still in the ring at the mercy of the Allied fighters| However, a large number of Pasa¬ dena students and graduates were in at the finish. Some were on the i Western front, some in Siberia, some on the Italian front. On almost every front they witnessed the humiliation of the Central Powers. They saw the j abrupt change in the hordes of Ger¬ man Allies, who while winning were smiling, confident, meociless; but no sooner had the Allies dealt several crushing blows along the whole front j from Belgium to Palestine than they became cringing, supplicant, agreeing to armistice terms that only men with | a yellow streak a yard wide would submit to. I And now it is all over. The boys ' are coming back, broader, wiser, and I older, from contact with almost every j known people, condition and circum- i stance. They know life now as the present day and generation has never known it before. They have existed long tiresome months at the camps, watching their buddies entrain for the big adventure; they have existed dur- (Continued on page 4.) By Winning Game, P. H. S. Now Holds City League Championship By DON PALMER They call him Chester Long, and he is a regular demon at winning ball games when they seem to be hope¬ lessly lost. Before last Thursday evening, when thel ocals mets Manual Arts on the P. H. S. diamond, “Kid” Long was no more or less than a sub- outelder on the Bulldog nine, while now he is the biggest hero in school. Long deserves to he a hero, for with the score standing 7 to 2 in Manual’s favor Long stepped into the mound, and he pitched and hit the horsehide to a Pasadena victory, the final score being 8 to 7 in favor of the Red and' White nine. Not since the days of “Tuffy” Conn has Pasadena had as big a herd, and the P. H. -S. student body certainly welcomes the young Mr. Long to her Hall of Fame, for without his valuable services Manual would have undoubtedly won the game. In the olden days Long was better known as a coming pugilst, hut now he is hailed as a blossoming big league hurler with a promising ca¬ reer. The following few lines are a summary of the achievements Chet accomplished, thus cutting a deep notch in the P. H. S. Hall of Fame. Les Webster was not going good, and after . seven runs had been scored Coach Trotter yanked him in the fourth inning, Long taking up the mound duties. When Chet went into the box in the middle of the fourth the score stood 7 to 2 in Manual’s favor. Two Manual men had just crossed the plate, and the Artisans were running wild, scoring runs at will. There was one man on base and one down. The first man out popped to Biedebach. who doubled Krammer at first. The “Kid” pitched shut out ball the entire time he was in the mound, allowing only three singles. Besides pitching shut-out ball Long swatted the ball for two doubles and one triple out of four times at bat. His triple scored two men in the eighth, tying the score. In the tenth frame he crossed the rubber for the winning run of the game. Some demon? I’ll say he is. By winning the game the Bulldog team won the City League champion¬ ship, although a tie exists between three or four schools, for the team having the greatest number of runs wins the championship in case of a tie. Pasadena has a lead of some twenty runs over any other school. Having won the City League cham¬ pionship the locals will next go after the Southern California title, and the. first victim will be the Santa Paula, nine next Saturday probably on the Tournament Park diamond. Manual got the scoring habit early- in the game, and slipped over three runs in the first frame. Evans, the- first man up, drew a pass. He reached third, and scored the first run when Loynd sacrifled him in. Krammer walked, and Dudley also strolled down to first unmolested. Peoples clicked out a single that scored Krammer and Dudley. Pasa- of the first and scored two runs. “Rabbit” Strickland walked, and Biedebach also strolled. Manual reg¬ istered an error, and Strickland reached third yhile “Beets” moved up to second. Captain McNabb came through with a single that scored Strickland and Biedebach. Atwell, the next man up, breezed the air for a strikeout, and Lillis grounded out to first and McNabb was out at home plate. The second frame was fairly ealm, but Manual tallied twice more in the third. Loynd, the Artisan catcher, slammed out a single. Krammer got safe on a hunt. Loynd scored when the P. H. S. players made two errors. A sacrifice hit scored Krammer on a squeeze play. The visitors seemed to he gettlBg the habit, and they scored two more (Continued on page 4.) (Continued on page 4.)
