Semi-Annual Assembly Is
To Be Held On
Bleachers
Awarding the highest honor
which can be given for service to
the school, the Order of Mast
and Dagger will hold its semi¬
annual tapping ceremony today at
an assembly held on the bleachers.
Students who have made an out¬
standing contribution in campus
life and activities at junior college
will at that time be formally taken
into the organization and presented
with pins and emblems.
The Bulldog band, under the di¬
rection of Audre L. Stong, honor¬
ary member of Mast and Dagger,
will appear on the morning’s pro¬
gram, presenting a group of nov¬
elty numbers. The band will also
play an accompaniment to the tap¬
ping ceremony, according to Merle
Hagemeyer, student manager.
To Present Officers
In addition to tapping and the
band program, the newly-elected
student officers will be presented
as follows: Sam Schwartz, re¬
elected president; Jack Stocking,
senior representative; Philip Cart¬
wright, junior class president; Dick
Balch, sophomore president; Anna
Katherine Jones, chief justice;
Carolyn Munn, A. W. S. president;
and Paul Douglas, A. M. S. presi¬
dent.
Bud Poulsen, president of Mast
and Dagger, will preside over the
tapping ceremony and will make a
short speech reviewing the purpose
and history of the honorary group.
Organized in 1926, there are ap¬
proximately 130 alumni and active
members at present.
History Told
Mast and Dagger was originally
patterned after service fraternities
in the universities. The insignia
and title were chosen to represent
the junior college “Pirates” as the
athletic team was called before the
adoption of the 6-4-4 system. The
organization is one of the few tra¬
ditions which have been carried
over into the new junior college
system.
To honor the new members, an¬
nounced today, a banquet will be
given by the active members on
Thursday evening, June 18. The
committee in charge is headed by
Olive Pupis, chairman, and includes
Betty Lewis, Bob Hurt, Alice Flynn
and Elva Lois Kellogg. The ban¬
quet will be formal and at that
time the club officers will be elected
for next year.

As City Tribute To
Be Given
Plans for graduation which will
be held June 19, in the Rose
Bowl, are progressing rapidly, ac¬

At 7:15 the members of the city
board of directors and the admin¬
istration of the city schools with
a group of guests will be led by
representative students to their
places on the stage at the north
end of the Rose Bowl. As a con¬
cluding feature of this event, a
great crown and key will be formed
by the three hundred bandsmen.
2500 To Enter
At the sound of a trumpet the
2500 graduates will enter and
form rays to the seal of Pasadena,
the crown and key.
The invocation follows the tra¬
ditional response, “Father, Hear
the Prayer We Offer,” then the
processional breaks forth. “Praise
Ye the Father” is sung until the
last graduate is in his place.
A tribute to the city of Pasadena
will be expressed by Superintend¬
ent John A. Sexson, to which E. O.
Nay, chairman of the board of di¬
rectors of the city of Pasadena will
reply. A musical number, followed
by the presentation of the class
and a solo will precede the pageant.

and Bob Dickinson ran for sopho¬
more representative, and at the
close of the primaries stood within

eliminated by a slight margin, but
Stapleton and Balch still stood
within a very few votes of one an¬
other. A special election was held
for this office, last Wednesday, and
Balch won by eight tallies. But 146
members of the class voted, much
fewer than voted in the previous
election, according to the chief jus¬
tice.

The bids will be sold by the Ar¬

available to the public, Miss Tomi¬
cich urged anyone interested to call

Bob Milliken’s orchestra is to
play for the affair, and Gordon
Earl is to act as vocalist. The
theme of the dance is “Wedding
Daze,” with a mock wedding be¬
tween two as yet unannounced
males as the feature of the evening.
The theme will also be carried out
in the decorations, Miss Tomicich
said.
At the present time only 17 clubs
in the council are eligible to receive

who also said that any club not
eligible could get its tickets by
paying the dance assessment at the

Westminster, Y. M. C. A., Magna-
tura, A Cappella choir and Euter-
pean singers.
“Clubs will receive no more
tickets than they can use,” said

to have no tickets left over. Every
effort is being made to make this
dance as big a success as the clubs
can make it.”
