The student board of Pasadena
Junior College held a special
meeting on February 28 to dis¬
cuss whether or not the board
should draw upon reserve funds
to help finance the proposed Bull¬
dog Band trip which will take
place sometime in July.
The proposed band trip will be
made to Salt Lake City where the
band will participate in that city’s
centennial celebration. Chamber
of Commerce reports have stated
that Salt Lake City has request¬
ed the school band for the parade.
Under a previous arrangement
the City of Pasadena agreed to
enter a float in Salt Lake’s Cen¬
tennial if that city would enter
a float in the Rose Parade. A
limit of 1500 dollars was placed
on both entries. In a recent mes¬
sage from the parade committee
it was requested that if possible
Salt Lake would like to have the
Bulldog Band for the parade.
Dean Stong, director of the
band, stated that the members
had agreed to contribute 20 dol¬
lars apiece towards the trip, and
that the city of Pasadena will
pay approximately 1200 dollars
of the required finances. How¬
ever, the dean stated, due to the
great increase in traveling ex¬
penses more money will be re¬
quired.
Upon recommendation or the
finance committee the student
board agreed to back the propos¬
ed trip providing the amount re¬
quired did not exceed 1000 dol¬
lars. It was also stated that no
money would be granted unless
the proposed trips is made as
scheduled.
