Bringing class day to a success¬
ful close, the ninth annual alumni
banquet will be held at the Uni¬
versity club at 6:30 this evening.
This event will end a big day for
seniors, even though the lack of
facilities prevents holding the regu¬
lar class day exercises.
The laying of the plaque of the
graduating class will take place at
10 a. m., in front of the school,
with next year’s seniors looking
on. The “Senior Scram,” a publi¬
cation edited by Maxine Thompson,
past editor of the Chronicle, will
be distributed at that time. Gradu¬
ation rehearsal at the Rose Bowl
will be at 3 p. m., and the ban¬
quet, to which all seniors and i
alumni are invited, will be at 6:30. 1
Give Program I
Earl Holder, organizer of the |
banquet and secretary of the alum¬
ni association, has arranged a pro¬
gram, which will include two
hours of dancing with Bob Kim¬
brough’s Hollywood Knickerbocker
orchestra, to begin immediately
after the dinner.
Guest of honor for the evening j
will be George H. Merideth, asssist- j
ant superintendent of Pasadena
city schools. Dr. John W. Harbe¬
son will deliver a short address, as J
will John A. Anderson. H. B.
Richardson and Victor Jory, for¬
mer P. J. C. student, and now a
film actor, will also be honored
guests.
President Don Millican will open
the program with a welcome to the
alumni, after which Joe Sprankle
will lead a toast to the class of
1935.
Election of officers will be held
during the course of the evening.
Dinner music will be furnished
by Robert and Carleton Fromholdt,
who will give an accordian duo.
Members of the Bulldog band
quartet, including Stanley Meach¬
am, William Caldwell, Norbet Du¬
arte and Henry Dake, will render
several vocal selections. Miss
Ivonne Brown, Henry Dake and
Charles Love will be featured in
an organ novelty, and dance spe¬
cialties will be presented by Max¬
ine Ford, Lucy Schaffer and Miss
Jestly.
Tickets for the affair are 75
cents a person, and reservations
may be made with Mr. Holder in
the bookstore.
After a 24-hour weight and strain test on the corner of
the Louis Agassiz building, experts in charge of the experi¬
ment gave assurance that in all probability the present frame
is in such a condition that work-* -
may proceed within a short time.
It was explained, however, that
until the actual figures recorded by
the delicate gauges had been ap¬
proved by state authorities, no
positive statement could be made
public.
Await Approval
Hold Prom,
Supper For
Graduates
Should the state officially ap¬
prove the test, work will be be¬
gun in about three weeks, since
some new re-designing has been
decided upon and necessarily in¬
volves time. The main change con¬
templated has to do with a new
type of walls for the buildings.
Under the new design approxi¬
mately $25,000 additional will be
expended on the Louis Agassiz and
Jane Addams buildings. Officials
on the job said that the date speci¬
fied for completion was formerly
October 21, but due to the delay
during the test, two or three
months longer will be required.
Meets New Rules
Before work was started on the
building for the first time, tests
were made by the state placing 96
pounds of weight per square foot
on the frame, but new regulations
were issued and called for a re¬
sisting pressure of 150 pounds per
square foot. At 2 o’clock last
Tuesday a total of 68 5-100 tons of
sand in bags was placed on a 38
by 24 square of the concrete floor.
On 24 Hours
For a period of 24 hours this
stupendous load was on the con¬
crete slab and during the entire
time an official expert was locked
in the room underneath the sand
load to take readings. Computa¬
tions were taken every 15 minutes
from minute strain gauges on the
beams and deflection gauges im¬
mediately under the slab. Although
no figures could be given, it was
explained that the maximum de¬
flection was not even 1-10 inch dur¬
ing the 24 hours.
The results of the test will af¬
fect all three of the buildings in¬
asmuch as they were all originally
constructed under the same speci¬
fications.
Baker, Benton Head Affair
To Be Held At Vista
Del Arroyo
Climaxing a semester of activi¬
ties headed by Presidents Bob
Baker and John Benton, seniors
and sophomores will convene Fri¬
day night, after graduation cere¬
monies at the Rose Bowl, at the
Vista del Arroyo hotel for the an¬
nual prom. Bob Fellows and Ted
Mack will provide music for the
occasion.
The affair will begin at 7 :30 with
a buffet supper for graduates.
Dancing will begin at 9 o’clock. It
will be semi-formal.
Bids for the prom are free to
graduates who may obtain them at
any time this week in the student
body office, according to Benton,
sophomore chieftain. Tickets for
the supper which, while not com¬
pulsory to those who care to dance,
will start the later evening ac¬
tivities, will be 75 cents a plate and
may also be procured in the Stu¬
dent Union building.
According to Baker, senior prexy,
the prom will be one of the finest
the school has seen in several
years. “And while that sounds like
a stereotyped statement,” he adds,
“we really mean it. Both sopho¬
mores and seniors have cooperated
splendidly and, as a result, we will
have a very excellent dance.”
Cabinets meet
This afternoon at 2:45 there
is to be a meeting in the Hunter
house of all the old members of the
AMS cabinet and the new members
for next semester. All members
are urged to attend to talk over
plans for next semester and meet
the new officers.

Rev.
В.
E. Watson Speaks
To Graduates At
Baccalaureate
Pointing out that at the present
time the world did not seem to
have any place for the graduate,
Rev. Benjamin E. Watson, pastor
of Central Christian church, ad¬
dressed the graduating classes
Sunday evening at the Civic audi¬
torium.
The speaker claimed that it is
up to youth to pull the world out
of the so-called depression by using
the Golden Rule in everyday life
and also stated that if the gradu¬
ate will live a life of adventure he
will find the purpose of his life.
In addition, Rev. Watson said,
“It is times like these when on¬
ward sweeps of human progress
have their origin and not notably
in times of great prosperity. The
outstanding eras of moral and re¬
ligious insight have been times of
exile, yearning, and heartache,
times of struggles and hardship.”
The invocation and benediction
was given by Rev. H. L. Caldwell
of Calvary Baptist church.
Musical Program
Under the direction of Miss Lula
Claire Parmley, singing, and Mil-
ton Mohs, orchestra, a musical
program was presented preceding
the address. Numbers by the A
Cappella choir, the orchestra en¬
semble, with special selection by a
mixed quartet composed of Eunice
Throne, Thelma Luce, Stanley
Meacham and Allan Burt, and solo
selections by June Spear, Stanley
Taft and Charles Davis, made up
the urogram. Additional music was
supplied by Marie Ford, violin,
Helen Lesh, harp, and Ivonne
Brown, organ.
The ceremony began with the
hooding directed by Dr. John W.
Harbeson and the procession of the
graduates. The baccalaureate ser¬
vice was under the general super¬
vision of Miss Catherine J. Rob¬
bins, dean of women.
Gives Thanks
To my fellow students:
The semester past has been one
filled with changes, hopes and
great faith. In attempting to di¬
rect into successful projects that
faith which you so willingly trust¬
ed to my judgment, I have erred
a countless number of times. For
those blunders that have been
made during this administration, I
humbly ask your forgiveness and
in the same breath thank you for
your kind cooperation in trying to
make Pasadena junior college out¬
standing as a leader among its
class.
It is with regret that I relin¬
quish my office, but in so doing
may I wish each and every one of
you who remain with the institu-
A ten-minute concert of the
combined junior high bands, fol¬
lowing which the Muir and junior
college bands will play, will pre¬
cede the main event. As a unit the
seven bands will present Bagley’s
“National Anthem” as an ensem¬
ble number.
_ Glee clubs from the two senior
high schools, the Muir chorus, Ora¬
torio chorus, A Cappella choir and
Nysaean singers of the junior col¬
lege will appear under the direc¬
tion of Miss Lula C. Parmley, Miss
Mabel M. Oakes and Miss Carrie
M. Sharp. The entire vocal group
together with the 2400 graduates
will sing the response, “Father,
Hear the Prayer We Offer,” “The
Processional,” Gounod’s “Praise
Ye the Father,” and Elgar’s “Land
of Hope and Glory.” The large en¬
semble numbers will be directed
by Dr. John Henry Lyons, director
of music for the Pasadena schools.
Moreland Kortcamp, jaysee soph¬
omore, is to introduce the page¬
ant, after which Muir singers will
sing a medley of old English songs
sung by the early settlers of our
country. Colonial dancers will en¬
ter to the music of Mozart’s minuet
sung by the Muir singers; while
the Maypole dance will be intro¬
duced by the junior college groups
singing old English folk-songs.
A more modem period will be
represented by a formal pompon
drill, in which 120 young men will
portray modern athletics in panto¬
mime and poses. These will be
joined by 148 girls and will climax
in an interpretive dance.
One of the most impressive
numbers of the evenin'*1- will be the
singing of Schuetky’s “Send Forth
Thy Spirit” during the procession¬
al. Junior high and high school
graduates will precede the seniors
of jaysee, dressed in dark blue
caps and gowns, with tassels and
stoles of crimson.
Upon reaching the field, the A
Cappella choir will sing; followed
by. a Muir Tech graduate, Mary
Elizabeth Heyman’s expression of
appreciation from the classes fol
all that the Pasadena schools have
offered to those graduating. The
invocation will be pronounced by
Dr. Torrance Phelps, pastor of the
First Congregational church, and
the response, “Father, Hear the
Prayer We Offer,” will be sung-
without accompaniment. Then the
graduates will proceed with the
processional, singing as they ad¬
vance toward the stage, the tradi¬
tional processional song, Gounod’s
“Praise Ye the Father.”
Robert Baker, president of the
senior class, will welcome the audi¬
ence and contrast the educational
opportunities of today with those
of 1635. . The reviewing of the
broader aims of modern education
and setting up the standards and
ideals, which these graduates will
carry with them, will be done by
Harold Berg of the jaysee senior
class.
As the American flag is present¬
ed, the nine class presidents will
pledge the loyalty of their respec¬
tive classes to the highest ideals
for which our nation stands.
Only two adult speakers will ap¬
pear on the program. Dr. John A.
Sexson, superintendent of city
schools, will briefly address the
students, contrasting old education
with, new and pointing out respon¬
sibilities of the graduates. William
