Yearbook Sale
Exhausts Supply;
More Printed
With over 50 students literally
weeping because they could not ob¬
tain copies of the yearbook, the
“Pasadena Campus” has been the
main object of attraction the past
week. The cause of the deep sor¬
row is due to the fact that there
were unexpected number of stu¬
dents calling for their yearbooks
and the demand could not be met.
1 However, there are being more
pages printed to increase the sup¬
ply.
Asserted to be the biggest book
of its kind ever published by an
American school, 2500 copies of the
college yearbook, “The Campus,”
were distributed this week to un¬
dergraduates at the Pasadena jun¬
ior college. Already known to be
the largest book ever published in
Pasadena, further honors were be¬
stowed upon the all-student pro-
* j duction by the statement of promi-
* | nent commercial art firms. The
* j Pasadena annual ranks in size and

Pageant

Musical Program
— ♦—
Towering 50 feet above the
stage, a magnificent castle, tinted
j rose and gold and purple by beams
from powerful floodlights, will
symbolize Youth’s Castle of
Dreams when 330 Muir Tech stu¬
dents, 130 upper division gradu¬
ates, 540 lower division, and 26
nurses of the Pasadena junior col¬
lege will receive diplomas of grad¬
uation at the forty-first annual
commencement program at the
Rose Bowl on Friday, June 20. The
entire commencement has been un¬
der the general chairmanship of
Miss Ida E. Hawes with the assis¬
tance of Miss Emma Bee Mundy,
associate chairman.
Outstanding Changes
Several changes have been in¬
stituted at this year’s program.
Outstanding among these are: the
pageant will take place in the eve¬
ning instead of the late afternoon
as in past years; colored lights
will be used in profusion, and the
result will rival in beauty the
“Pageant of Lights” which inau¬
gurated the Rose Bowl lighting
system last summer; the stage will
be placed in the west side of the
stadium facing east, and all spec¬
tators will enter the bowl through
east tunnels, an innovation that
will facilitate approach to the bowl.
Student Talent Used Entirely
A band of 150 pieces composed
of student musicians from the two
schools will supply music, making
other musical organizations unnec¬
essary. Girl graduates will be al¬
lowed to dress in gowns of pastel
shades instead of being limited to
white as in the past years.
Dreams of Youth is Theme
The pageant which will preceed
the presentation of the diplomas
will have as a background the cas¬
tle of dreams, 250 feet in length
and more than fifty feet high.
Strong blue lights will play upon
the structure creating an impres¬
sion of distance, and flood lights
behind the castle walls will give it
height.
Revolving spotlights will play
upon the turrets to give cloud ef¬
fects. To the left of the castle and
over the south tunnel will be a
huge drawbridge which will be
raised and lowered on heavy
wooden chains. To the north of the
castle will be a dias which will
serve as a central point for the
action of the pageant. Behind the
dias will be a screen similar to
the one used in the “Pageant of
Lights” on which colored flood¬
lights will be used during the pro¬
gram. The stage upon which the
graduates will be seated will be
placed below and in front of the
castle. It will be 240 feet in length.
