Vol. XXIV Pasadena, California, June 15, 1933 No. 30 Lancers to Be Led by New Heads Lancers will be led by a bevy of new officers next term, headed by Jack Shepherd, president. Ned Thomas will hold forth as vice- president, Len Emery as secretary, and Francis Moon, treasurer. Of¬ ficers were determined in a recent election held by the 28 members of the honorary service organization. Twenty names have been ap¬ proved and offered to the member¬ ship committee for selection of ap¬ proximately ten new Lancers to take the places of eight departures from the fold. Jack Shepherd, Bill Wegge, A1 Hoop, Bob Simpson, and Len Emery hold the fate of the future Lancers. Eric Emery and Bob Coop, de¬ parting presidents of the past year, will be presented gold keys as tokens of their service. The award will become a traditional ceremony, according to a motion passed at the last meeting of the club. Organized in the spring semester of 19.32, the Lancers have per¬ formed the thankless police and guard duty of the campus with un¬ obtrusive regularity. During the past year they handled the crowds at all assemblies and athletic con¬ tests, supervised the parking lot, protected the closed campus, insti¬ tuted various campaigns, and served as unofficial hosts to school visitors. Leaders of the group this term who will relinquish their posts to¬ day are Eric Emery, president; Bill Wegge, vice-president; Jack Shep¬ herd, secretary; and Len Emery, treasurer SPARTANS WIND UP FIRST YEAR Closing their first semester with honor, Spartans, women’s hono¬ rary service organization, met at a piot-luck supper in the social hall to wind up this term’s affairs and to start the wheels revolving for next fall’s activities. New officers were elected at this time, but the results were not tab¬ ulated before this issue went to press. Women who have been honored by election into this society re¬ ceived recognition in the honor con¬ vocation this morning. They arc as follows: Mary Linek, Cynthia Holmes, Josephine Collins, Patricia Dewar, Joanna Pupis, Patricia Els¬ ton, Dorothy Marsh, Jeanette Mogenson, and Lorraine Palmer. During the semester year the Spartans have assisted in innumer¬ able events and have augmented the work of the Lancers, men’s service club. For the most part their work has been rather quiet and, unobtrusive, but neverthless effective. Extensive efforts to en¬ force closed campus rulings were perhaps their most important work. Board Picks Six Officers Several Posts Yet to Be Filled as Chronicle ‘Goes to Bed’ Six students were selected yes¬ terday by the newly-elected board of representatives to occupy impor¬ tant positions in next semester’s activities program. The bulk of the appointive offices were filled this morning after the Chronicle had gone to press. Mary Linek will be the new sec¬ retary of social affairs ; Harriet Tilden will officiate over records; activities will be regulated by James Williams; Margaret Johnson will supervise publications; and Leonard Emery and Be Baldwin will serve as associates to the chief justice. Secretaries of athletics, finance, and oral arts; clerks of the board and school clerk; editor, associate editor, and business manager of the Campus; editor and business manager of the Chronicle; and members of the social affairs and activities committees were unnamed at press time. Charge Here Not Probable Pending action in July by the state legislature, junior college educators have expressed the opinion that no tuition fee will be charged for entrance into the junior college next year. Rumors that there will be a tui¬ tion charge have been heard ever since the controversy early in the year over scholastic, funds. Esti¬ mates on such a fee have ranged from .$25 up. Tap 11 for Honors in Activities Kiwanis, Rotary, Homer Awards Go to Best Students Highest activities honors — membership to Mast and Dag¬ ger — were presented this morn¬ ing to 11 students.

Marked by announcements of scholarships, awards, prizes and the presentation of numerous pins, parchments and gifts, the final as¬ sembly of the year took place this morning. Special awards were captured by- outstanding jaysee students. Elea¬ nor Northrup and Al Hoop won the Kiwanis keys for all-round excel¬ lence; Edria McDole and Edward E. Ross secured the Rotary recog¬ nition; Eric Emery and Virginia Keim were presented with a set of books which was the prize for the Homer award.

For their outstanding work on the cinders, these two men were this morning awarded the Metropolitan Business Men's trophies, the lower division cup going to Morton and the upper to Bute. Morton competed in the 880-yard run, winning every start in Coast League competition through the finals. In the С. I. F. prelims at Southgate he took second. A third in the Southern California finals and sixth in the state meet com¬ pleted his record. Bute served as captain of the up¬ per division squad, ran the 120 high hurdles, and has cleared the cross¬ bar at six feet.

C. Students Will Be Rose Bowl Talkers Sanderhoff Will Elaborate Theme ‘Fighting for Peace Now' “O country mine, we live for thee” — thus voicing the 1933 com¬ mencement theme, Lubert Sander¬ hoff, student speaker for P. J. C. fourteenth year graduates, will ad¬ dress bowl guests tomorrow night. Mr. Sanderhoff will elaborate on the thesis that “we fought a battle for democracy but we did not get it; now we must fight in peace” for a government whose basic principle is popular sovereignty. Concluding, the senior gradute will contrast the subtle menaces of peace with the open menaces of war. Other honor speakers will be Eleanor Northrup, representing the twelfth year graduates of the jun¬ ior college, and Willard Goodwin, twelfth year Muir Technical high school delegate. Campus Will Be Groomed While Jaysee rides the waves of vacation, the campus will be re¬ groomed for the fall semester. Cor¬ ridors so full of tramping feet in winter are in for a scrubbing by the crew of caretakers. Not only- will the buildings be freshened up, but supplies for laboratories have been ordered. A labor saving device, the dexi- graph, has taken its place in the records office and will be ready for use two weeks after school has closed. This huge, black, weird looking box with neon lights at¬ tached to it, will photograph tran¬ scripts. In other words, “your rec¬ ord, as far back as the seventh grade,” says John A. Anderson, dean of records. Over in the science department guinea pigs and pickled cats are being ordered for the joy and ob¬ servation of students next fall NEW ART COURSE Advanced figure composition will be offered next semester to upper division aid; majors. Vista del Arroyo Is Scene of Gala Hop Fete Colorful Features Planned To Aid Ballyhoo With Two Orchestras Ending the graduation social whirl immediately after the exer¬ cises with a buffet-supper dinner - dance at the Vista del Arroyo to¬ night, seniors and sophomores will celebrate together in a last evening of school activities. As an accommodation for the large -number of graduates expect ed, the entire lower floor of the hotel has been reserved, including the lounge and ballroom for danc- 1 ers, and salons for the use of those preferring to piece jig-saws and bid no-trumps. Dick Model- and Leighton Noble will act as maestros of the respect¬ ive orchestras. There is to be an orchestra in each room where stragglers will assemble. Supper will be served as soon as guests begin to arrive. To soothe the ear, a Hawaiian trio will play- native melodies. Profesional en¬ tertainment has been secured to en¬ tertain between dance intermis¬ sions. Also confetti, serpentine, and all will be provided to help along the ballyhoo. Decorations will reflect the school colors in crepe paper and ballons. Bids are being given out at the student body office and in appear¬ ance are white suede-cloth cover¬ ings with a small P. J. C. seal in the corner. As a speciality number, balloons fastened in a huge ceiling net will be released on the dancers. In each room, two silver ballons will be credited with a prize to any one bringing it inflated to the floor committee. Honorees who are invited consist of Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Harbeson, Mr. and Mrs. James P. O’Mara, members of the board of education and administration, and the class advisers. The executive committees of the two classes have ofliiciated in gen¬ eral arrangements. Other commit¬ tees are Ed Merchant, general ar¬ rangements; Jack Shepherd and Maryland Holmes, decorations; Bob Simpson and Bob Coop, bids; and Elizabeth Merchant, invitations. By The Ringsider HONEST CHISELER. It’s a well known fact that hypnotism is often used bo chisel people out of their money. But once in a while the same means are used to prove honesty. Two night school girls ran out* of gasoline in the parking lot. A man out of the darkness offered to go after a gallon of gas if he was given the money. “I don’t know whether to trust you with the money or not,” said the girl at the wheel. “You might not come back.” The fellow looked her straight in the eye. “Do I look like a crook?” He brought the gasoline. CLUB POLITICS. Sigma Tau Ep¬ silon, onetime fraternity of journal¬ istic glory, has joined the ranks of the defunct organizations that live only in the memories of old grads. At the last meeting the Chronicle and Campus factions deadlocked in their attempts to fill the mem¬ bership quota from “straight party tickets.” The Campus party won a dubious victory when they got out an injunction to prevent the club from further meetings. CAMPAIGN DIES HARD. Most of the election posters have faded out like last year’s dirty shirts, but a few tacked in outlying places are still tr.ving to outlive their candi¬ dates. The caretaker who swept out the posters says the rest will come down when the stepladder contingent arrives next week for spring housecleaning. FUNGUS FLOPS. Go to school and get rid of athlete’s foot! This is actually what tramps, ditoh- diggers, cement workers, or fish¬ wives with leaky boots could do. The fungus has been a pretty dead subject locally since the installation of antiseptic tubs in the men’s gym last year. NOT SLEEP -TALKERS. How the tweve members of the Mast and Dagger were selected in six meet¬ ings of the club would make a study in averages and norms, in sportsmanship, faith, and integrity. Four of the twelve were selected at the second meeting. The quar¬ tet then grew to five, jumped to seven, sky-rocketed to eleven, dropped back to seven, wavered be¬ tween seven and eleven, settled on eleven, climbed to twelve, dropped to ten, and /inally climbed to eleven. Names substituted for each of these numbers might turn the school upside down and would cause no end of talk. But there’s no danger of an earthquake or even burning of the ears. Only a dozen or so old members know how to match the names and numbera And they won’t tell. ‘THE SCRAM’ IS GIVEN TO GRADUATES Resplendent with witty cartoons and side-rending “feature” stories by prominent seniors, the annual senior publication, better known as “The Scram,” was presented to graduates yesterday on class day. Featuring a spirit of fun and good sportsmanship, the paper took up the theme of all the fun possible at the expense of nobody. The car¬ rying out of this idea resulted in the “take-off” on the high and mighties. Four pages of four columns each served as the medium through which the editors transmitted their funny influences to the rest of their colleagues. These sheets were filled with articles of all types, ranging from the class prophecy by Bob Coop to the story lending a serious air to the publication, the class day events. The writing and editing was in the hands of Marcella Pownall, ed¬ itor; typography, Peter Geddes; as¬ sociate editors, Dale Roe, Mary Linek, Kate Boyd, Bob Coop, Ruth Windham, and Michael Sheehey.

C. and Muir Tech Graduates Tomorrow Pageant , rr Builders Of Democracy' To Appear Warfare and Peace Form Theme for Combined Commencement To become conscripts of their many dreams and to become build¬ ers of tomorrow’s democracy, 1500 graduates of the junior college, Pasadena hospital, and Muir Tech will march in the annual Rose Bowl Commencement exercises at sun¬ down tomorrow.

The world must be made safe for democracy. . . . But out of the grime and horror of war, Peace emerges, hesitant, unassured of a welcome!” This, in a few words, is the essence of the cere¬ mony which is being planned by P. J.

The trophy, a wrist watch, was presented at the honor convocation yesterday. Miss Magnuson formerly served on the A. W. S. cabinet and was di¬ rector of the information bureau. She has played her cello at ban¬ quets, assemblies, A. W. S. affairs, vespers, operas, plays, commence¬ ment, and the Baccalaureate serv¬ ice, and is a member of the orches¬ tra. The administration staff an¬ nounced the following rules for the contest : “The Davis award will be made to the student who, during either his sophomore, his junior, or his senior year has on record the highest number of service points. “Not more than twenty-five of the service points can be accumu¬ lated through activities included under the following captions: stu¬ dent body officers, club and class officers, commencement, oral arts, and athletics. “A student can be the recipient of the award but once.” James P. O’Mara, dean of men, presented the award. Jean McCrae Wins Drama Scholarship Joan McCrae, Pasadena junior college thespian, whose ability and work in dramatics have made her known to the entire school, was awarded the $200 Loan Scholarship for Drama Students in the honors convocation today. the Spirit of Youth.

Mohs, the graduates will march in to the processional, “Praise Ye the Fath¬ er.” The a cappella choir, directed by Miss Lula C. Parmley, will sing “Peace,” by Paul Fehrmann, fol¬ lowing Eleanor Northrup’s message from the twelfth year graduating class.

A. is giv¬ ing special advice during June. Registration for summer school is June 26 and 27. Colleges Hold Open Registration Lists Leading colleges are holding open their registration lists until late summer for the first time this year, to accommodate those who cannot enter early. Mills, Scripps, Pomo¬ na, and Stanford will close as soon as their quota is filled, according to John A. Anderson, dean of re¬ cords. Graduates who will attend other institutions must secure transcripts of credits at the records office and apply at the college of their choice. Few Women's Jobs Remain The women's unemployed situa¬ tion at P. J. C. has been greatly relieved this semester as is evi¬ denced by the fact that over 100 jobs have been obtained for girls through the dean of women’s office. There are a few room and board positions still open for summer work. Among some of the jobs ob¬ tained were those of child and adult companions, models for de¬ partment stores, typists, and housekeepers. Those students desiring jobs should make out applications in the dean of women’s office. Stu¬ dents who have already filed their names with Miss Robbins are requested to make out new applications as a new list of names is being compiled.
