PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, MARCH 3, 1922 No. 22 JliOi CUSS WILL PRESENT ‘CLARENCE’ ПуЩ ID Comedy Was Very Success¬ ful Last Season in New York City 0. PEICKETT IS HERO Each Character Has an Un¬ derstudy and Principal to Carry on Work The rare opportunity of seeing “Clarence,” the farcical comedy which was one of the immediate pop¬ ular successes of last season in New York City, will be given every Pasa¬ denan on the evening of Friday, March 10, when the Junior class will present the play in the High School auditorium. It is the story of a young entomol¬ ogist who after service in the army finds his position filled and seeks em¬ ployment in the offices of a New York financier. His success in the home of the financier forms the theme of the play. Actors Versatile The play abounds in ludicrous sit¬ uations and clever lines, and gives op¬ portunity for the actors to show their versatility in the characters of the awkward Clarence, the superficial Mrs. Wheeler, the incorrigible Cora, the budding adolescent Bobby, the efficient Mrs. Martyn, the stern, wor¬ ried Mr. Wheeler, the responsible, attractive Miss Pinny, the impres¬ sionable Della and the dignified Din- widdie.

Marion Swift SCHOOL BANK HAS NEW SYSTEM OF TELLERS As a result of the new system put in force in the High School Bank, speed and accuracy have been phen¬ omenally developed in the tellers, ac¬ cording to J. A. Anderson, head of the high school bank. “With the new system the tellers are breaking all records for speed and accuracy,” says J. A. Anderson. The system of checking up on the tellers is very complete and the posi¬ tions are changed each week. Mit¬ chell Blair is head teller this week. Lester Wendt is head bookkeeper. In the counting of the Cafeteria money each teller fills out a slip with the number of the bags and the amount of money in each. Then he balances his combined cash and turns it over to the head teller, who checks over all the cash for the day. “The savings bank deposits are steadily moving and making satisfac¬ tory progress,” says J. A. Anderson, who has charge of the school finances. * Swedish, Dano-Norwegian or * * old Norse languages are to be re- * * vived and put in the course of * * study at the University of Cali- * * fornia. Any student intending to * * go to California and interested * * in these languages should see * * Miss Benton as soon as possible. * * The Scandinavian Club of the * * University is instrumental in * * arranging these languages as * * regular studies. * я $ * * * * * * * * * * * я * * * * * * * * $ * * * * * * * * * ❖ -i: * # * * : LAW PASSED PREVENT- : I ING OUTSIDE LETTERS t : FROM BEING WORN : * HerUeafter the boys who have * * won .Able tic letters at schools * * other than.

W. O. Lowe and U. G. Durfee, as¬ sistants from the county superintend¬ ent’s office, who were recent visitors at Pasadena High, made a thorough inspection of the plant. The two offi¬ cials each spent an entire day on the school premises and had lunch in the cafeteria with W. F. Ewing, principal. Each was very much pleased with what he saw. Mr. Durfee was partic¬ ularly interested in the organization and administration of the affairs of the school. He was so impressed with the systematic work of the Journal¬ ism Department that he interviewed J. P. von Grueningen, the instructor of journalism, in order to obtain ma¬ terial on the fine system. C. W. Paddock Speaks Today Charles W. Paddock, world’s champion sprinter and former P.H.S. student, spoke to the lettermen and track men during the advisory period today. His subject was “How to keep in condition for athletics, both phys¬ ically and mentally.” Marching, Mass Drill and Life-saving Are to Be Special Features Because of the success cf. the field day held last year another similar event is now being planned. The main exhibit will cover marching and mass drill by both boys and girls, special athletic drills by boys and group dancing by the girls. There will also be some lively com¬ petitive games, track and field events in which both boys and girls will be participants. Land and water drills and life sav¬ ing stunts will be presented by the boys. A special demonstration of floor work will be given in the girls’ gym. On the girls’ athletic ground the exhibition games will be played. Two thousand hoys and girls will INTERTYPE MACHINE HAS ARRIVED IN SCHOOL PRINTSHOP Linotyping and Printing of P. H. S. Publications to Be Done Here : MUCH EXPENSE SAVED Manufactured in Brooklyn, N. Y., and Shipped From San Francisco The Pasadena High School CHRON¬ ICLE is now essentially 100 per cent Bulldog. With the arrival of the Intertype machine late last Monday all school publications will be lintyped, printed, and set up at the the school. For¬ merly it was necessary to take all CHRONICLE, ITEM and ANNUAL copy downtown, but now it is possi¬ ble to do all the work at school. The machine, which is simpler than a linotype, was manufactured in Brooklyn, N. Y., by the Intertype Corporation. It was se'nt from one of the branch offices in San Francisco by boat two weeks ago. The cost is ap¬ proximately $4600, of which $1400 was contributed by the students the day of the Carnival. Weighing almost 2800 pounds, the intertype is a machine having three different kinds of type which can be used by the operator without his needing to leave his chair. The metal will be heated by electricity through a melting funnel. John K. Leberman will have charge of the machine. That the art work is rapidly being finished for the Annual is shown by the fact that a large number of draw¬ ings are being made by the students of Miss Myrtle Simpson’s 10-2 and 11-2 drawing classes. Each day many are completed and handed in to he chosen. Of course all of them cannot be taken and some have to be given back. As much talent is shown in the drawings, this year’s Annual prom¬ ises to be a great success. Every¬ thing from pictures of pretty girls to stormy oceans are being drawn. take part in the exhibitions. Field Day will be held on March 30 from 10:30 to 12:30. The public is cordi¬ ally invited.

SCHOLAHSDIP GAINS POPULARITY AS HUMOR MEMBERSHIP INCREASES Officers for This Semester Will Be Elected by Present Members Soon, the Date of .Which Will Be Announced Later MR. EWING WILL PRESENT PINS TO STUDENTS There Are Now Three Hundred and Twelve Gold and Silver Pin Members in the Society, Increase One Hundred and Ninety-nine Realizing the importance of the Honor Society and what it stands for, many students- have during the past semester decided to take the straight and narrow trail of work and study, and as a result 312 Pasadenans are now entitled to wear pins. During the meeting of the Honor Society this morning, the return of pins by those who were eligible last semester but were unable to make the grade this time was especially emphasized. Upon glancing down the list of names, a person can see who is a member of the organization. All students who, on acount of illness or carelessness, did not hand in their application blanks, must hand them in at once, because the faculty committee is not going to look through the record of each student as it has previqusly done. Candidates must take it upon themselves to apply for membership. It was also announced that the election of officers is to be held next week. Application blanks for nomination can be secured from Miss Kathryn Loly, chairman of the faculty committee of the Honor Society, in room 126C. These cards must be signed by at least ten people. A special assembly will be held Monday for the awarding of pins. The new members will be seated on the stage. Mr. Ewing will present the pins to the students. There were twenty-three gold members re-elected and eighteen stu¬ dents to receive gold pins, making a total of forty-one “gold pin” members. There are now altogether fifty-six Seniors with silver pins, eighty-three Juniors, eighty-five Sophomores, and forty-seven Freshmen. It is inter¬ esting to note that in the Freshman class only, there is one more boy than girls! In all the other classes there are many more girls than boys. The total of all the Honor Society members is three hundred and twelve. This is an increase of eighty-one over last semester and of one hundred and ninety-nine over the first semester. This is the fourth term of the organ¬ ization. Following is the entire list of present members: *Means re-elected.
