VOL. XIII
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, JUNE 16, 1922
No. 34
PASADENA PUPIL
RECEIVE GREATEST
ANNUAL PUBLISHED
Contains 232 Pages all Full of
Interesting Reading Matter
and Cuts of Everyone
COST AMOUNTS TO $1*700.00
A GreatMany Copies Have Been
Ordered by Students Not
Now in Pasadena High
Containing more cuts than have
ever before been placed in any P. H.
S. Annual; group pictures of each
club; a complete directory containing
the name of every student in the
school since last February; eight more
pages of snapshots than were found
in last year’s edition; and costing over
seventeen hundred dollors, not includ¬
ing the linotyping and work done by
the printers, the twenty- seventh edi¬
tion of the Pasadena High School An¬
nual was distributed to the student
body members of P. H. S. yesterday
afternoon.
Work started on this publication
five months ago, and it is through the
efforts of Frances Wihlon, editor, and
Boyd Stephens, manager, and the
staff of twenty-four helpers, that it
is now possible to present such a
complete and interesting Annual as
this year’s edition represents. Al¬
though adding greatly to the cost of
publishing, the latest Annual is full
of cuts of each building, interior and
exterior, and pictures of class officers,
faculty, athletic teams, scenes ' from
the big carnival and snapshots.
Of special worth are’ the title pages,
designed by members of the art class¬
es under the supervision of Miss Myr¬
tle Simpson, teacher of drawing.
These cuts have the appearance of be¬
ing made by professionals, but were
completed by regular P. H. S.
students.
This year’s cover design, drawn by
Kathryn Wormell, is unusually effec¬
tive. The seal is embossed and print¬
ed in blue, the Senior class colors.
Although the many cuts are the
most conspicuous things in the Annu¬
al, the write-ups with each football
baseball, basketball game, swimming
meet, and other activites show a great
deal of hard work and thought. The
different members of the Annual staff
are responsible for this.
A feature which may be placed all
by itself, and which has caused a
great deal of talk among the lucky An¬
nual owners, is the cut of the big bull
dog, personifying P. H. S. spirit.
The distribution of the Annual was
carried out in a new and. decidedly
successful way under the direction of
Boyd Stephens. Tables were placed
by the girls’ gym, each table issuing
copies to students holding student
body cards having the numbers in¬
cluded in the series posted at each
table. By this method students were
able to receive their books in short
order “a la Pi H. S. cafeteria” style.
The Annual editor, Miss Frances
Wihlon, to whom not enough credit
can be given for her efforts in editing
the Annual, would like to thank those
people who helped her in her work: J.
P. von Grueningen, journalism instruc¬
tor and staff adviser; John A. Ander¬
son, business adviser and all around
helper; Miss Ida E. Hawes, always
ready to do any thing that would help
the Annual along, and general ad¬
viser.
The Pasadena High School print
shop, although not heard about as
much as other departments, is never-
the-less responsible for the real me¬
chanical work in producing the Annu¬
al. W. R. Morris, head of the print¬
ing department, made up every page
of the book, while John H. Mehers,
pressman, and John K. Leberman, in¬
tertype machine operator, did all the
running of the press and linotyping
respectively. In order that the pupils
receive their Annuals on time these
men spent many extra hours in the
print shop.
Many Annuals have been bought by
non-student body members, and many
old P. H. St students have sent in
their order for a copy to be mailed to
respective cities.
INSPIRING PROGRAM GIVEN
STUDENTS BY G. A. R.
WAR VETERANS
Sound of Fife and Drum Throbs
Through Halls of School in
Patriotic Display
“The ideals these men represented
must endure,” said Captain Paul Peri-
gord referring to G. A. R. veterans
who sat facing him, amidst the thrill¬
ing scenes of Memorial Day exercises
given Thursday before Memorial Day.
The G. A. R. men marched into the
hall to the stirring accompaniment of
the fife and drum. Every student was
on his feet as the veterans filed upon
the platform. Commander See of the
local G. A. R. Post introduced Com¬
rades Van Horn, and Kinsman who
spoke to the students.
Commander See was given the hon¬
or of presenting the new Battalion
colors to Cadet Major Whinnery of
the R.

T. C.
Oliver Prickett, on behalf of the
Junior Class, dedicated $1,000 to the
scholarship fund to be known as the
Clarence Berline Memorial Fund.
The names of the boys from P. H. S.
who gave their lives in the World
War were read and floral offerings
were placed around the tablet bearing
their names.
Following this Capt. Perigord
spoke. Mr. Foster lead the assembly
in singing the national anthem, and
after the G. A. R. men left accompan¬
ied again by fife and drum, the assem¬
bly was adjourned by Margaret
Seares, chairman.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS
EXPECTED BY FALL
While studies may stop during the
summer months at P. H. S. to give the
faculty and students a vacation, P. H.
S. itself never stops. Many improve¬
ments and repairs are always made in
the summer to keep up with the rapid
growth and progress of P. H. S.
By next fall it is hoped by the ad¬
ministration to have the following
things accomplished:
1. Boys’ gymnasium completed.
2. Work well under way on new
bleachers.
3. A new band room built.
4. A new building for corrective
work.
5. Pergolas connecting the Horace
Mann building with other buildings.
6. Additional classrooms out of un¬
used space.
7. Alterations and repairs.
8. Exterior of buildings painted.
JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY AT
HOTEL IS GREAT
SUCCESS
Scheme of “Chinese Night” Was
Something New and Very
Unusual
Great was the success of the Junior-
Senior party which was held on the
tennis court of the Raymond hotel,
May 29. “A Night in China,” was the
unusual and fascinating scheme car¬
ried out. The grounds were attrac¬
tively decorated with Chinese lanterns.
In the middle of the court was a typi¬
cal Chinese house in which the orches¬
tra played wierd jazz. The scene was
made more mysterious by the use of
spotlights.
The program, which was put on en¬
tirely by Juniors, was begun by a
musical comedy, featuring a lively
chorus, and then followed various vo¬
cal and instrumental numbers with
here and there a mysterious Chinese
dance. A vaudeville performance and
a musical comedy concluded the pro¬
gram.
W. F. Ewing, principal, and J. P.
O’Mara, vice-principal, who were both
present, pronounced it one of the livli-
est parties they had ever attended.

SUMMER SCHOOL IS
10 REFER HISTORY
BUT i LANGUAGES
Same Instructors to Teach in the
Summer School as Far as
It is Possible
MAY INCLUDE BIOLOGY
Those Who Take Science Will Be
Unable to Take Other
Subjects Olfered
Among the subjects to be offered in
summer school this year are the fol¬
lowing: Mathematics, English, his¬
tory, chemistry, and possibly biology.
The tuition for mathematics, Eng¬
lish and history will be $7.50 per sub¬
ject, while for the science the cost will
be $12.00.
School will be in session from 8:00
a. m. to 12:00 m., June 19 to July 28,
the periods being each two hours long
except three hours for science.
Due to the extra length of the
science periods, students taking chem¬
istry or biology will be unable to take
mathematics, English or history.
The faculty will include the same
teachers who give instruction during
the regualr winter session, as far as
possible. J. P. O’Mara will act as
principal.
The six weeks of summer school
will give the student credit for one se¬
mester of work. Students who are
behind in their subjects or who have
made poor grades, can in this way
bring their marks up to date. About
six hundred students have already en¬
rolled for the session.
DATE IS SET FOR OPENING
OF PASADENA HIGH
SCHOOL IN FALL
That “Easy” First Week Will Be
Eliminated if Present Plans
Are Carried Out
For the benefit of those students
contemplating being out of town all
summer, the administration takes this
opportunity to announce that the fall
semeser at Pasadena High School will
open Monday, September 11.
If present plans work out as intend¬
ed, the usual mixed up first week of
school will be done away with. The
first step taken toward this end is the
filling out of a yellow card by each
student this spring, instead of waiting
until fall to do so. This makes it
possible to have every student’s pro¬
gram made out for him the first day
of school.

“All details for the commencement
exercises are completed. Miss Ida E.
Hawes, chairman of the faculty com¬
mittee on graduation plans, reports
most enthusiastically on the coopera¬
tion shown by the school and the com¬
munity.” This is the statement of W.
F. Ewing, principal, concerning this
year’s graduation arrangements. Mr.
Ewing further stated that the plans
for this year are far more elaborate
than for last year. About 12000 seats
will be available for use by the public
and the demand for seats will far ex¬
ceed the supply. It is hoped that
every pupil, parent, and interested
friend may come to the exercises.
Since Senior Week began, activity
in P. H. S. has been at its highest ebb.
The campus and buildings have been
filled with action every minute be¬
cause of the many events that always
take place during this week. Follow¬
ing is a brief resume of the events
that alread yoccurred:
On Sunday evening, June 11, at
7:30, the Baccalaureate sermon was
preached in the Presbyterian church
by Dr. Leslie E. Learned, Rector of
the Episcopal church. Dr. Learned is
one of the best friends of Pasadena
High School and his message was full
of inspiration and hope. Junior girls
ushered in the class in accordance with
an old tradition, the seats for the Sen¬
iors being roped off by tulle with dain¬
ty baskets of flowers hanging from
each pew. Members of the faculty at¬
tended in a body.
Big Day Tuesday
Monday was devoted to rehearsals.
Tuesday was a banner day, having the
Alumni Home-Coming, Alumni-Senior
banquet, Class-Day, all in one short
day. The afternoon was given over
to athletic events between the alumni
and the Seniors, culminating in the
dedication of the new boys’ gymnas¬
ium by Governor Stephens. Of course
the gymnasium is not yet completed,
but it was possible for the Seniors to
inscribe their names upon a scroll
which was placed with other papers in
a box which will be walled up as the
construction proceeds, and when the
Class of ’22 celebrates the tearing
down of the “old gym” it will find
these antique documents of great in¬
terest.
The Alumni-Senior banquet was a
real reunion for the alumni and a kind
of initiation for the graduating Sen¬
iors. The hope has been expressed
that the Class of 1922 should join the
Alumni Association as a whole, thus
setting a splendid precedent. This
would mean that after paying the
small membership fee, no graduate of
! 1922 would ever have to pay alumni
dues again. The executive of the
Alumni Association is considering
I turning over the surplus money to the
Scholarship Fund each year as a me¬
morial to the boys who would some
day have been alumni but for the war.
Bulldog Spirit
Class Day exercises were short ,but
full of “pep,” and those who were for¬
tunate enough to be present certainly
had an hour of fun.
Yesterday afternoon the final as¬
sembly of the year was held. Last
night a big surprise event for the
Senior class was given; today — well
people all over the United States are
going to be interested in this Thurs¬
day, for moving pictures are to be
taken of Commencement this year.
The Scene Beautiful
Junior girls in colored organdies
with garden hats or parasols will first
wander in and stroll leisurely about,
as if attending a garden fete. Then
almost two hundred Junior girls dress¬
ed in white with scarfs of blue (class
colors) will carry in the flower chains.
A hundred others in shepherd cos¬
tumes will form pergolas and arches
