Japanese Relics
Will Be Here
Next Week
An historic collection of Japan¬
ese weapons, ranging from an¬
cient Samurai swords to the mod¬
ern Mambu pistol, will be placed
on public exhibition at Pasadena
Junior College, Friday, March 22,
from 2.00 to 4:00 p. m., it was
announced this week by Major
Sidney J. Altman, Marine Recruit¬
ing Chief for Southern California.
The weapons, including such
oddities as an ancient battle-axe
and a three-pronged spear, as well
as examples of the small arm? us¬
ed by Japanese forces during the
war, are the “museum choice” of

hari-kiri knives, and ancient shot
guns, as well as some of the more
modern rifles and pistols describ¬

Guarded by an officer and eight
men of the Fifth Division, the
priceless collection will be shown
in larger cities and colleges
throughout the country, before it
is placed for permanent keeping
in the Marine Corps Museum at
Quantico, Virginia. Mounted in a
semi-trailer, the collection is now
touring Southern California.
Joyce Armantrout, PJC’s woman ex-marine, is shown as she

high in the laugh record when it presents “Tovarich” on March 28

gagements, is one in a series of
broadcasts called “Our Children

The vocalists journeyed to the
station by chartered bus last ev¬

themselves from the comfort of
their homes and armchairs.

tle, violinist, her accompanist,
Marian Moser, who will also be
the student announcer, and ASB
president Don Logan, who will
present a brief summary of Pas¬
adena Junior College affairs and
activities.
as is inevitable, their identity
leaks out. From here on, a series
of comic situations involving
counter-revolution, threatens dis¬
aster to the pair, but the curtain
rings down on the feeling brought
about by the word “tovaricn,”
which means “comrade.”

Cabinet Enlarged
by Two Offices
Two new student body offices
were created by the Student
Board at their meeting last Fri¬
day, March 1, in 29C, as a result
of the growing demand for rep¬
resentation of all campus groups
in the student government plan.
Commissioners of Scholarship So¬
cieties and Religious Activities
are the two new positions which
the Cabinet agreed should be es¬
tablished.
Neither of the offices has been
filled yet, but eligibility cards
have been submitted by the pros¬
pective candidates. Upon approv¬
al of their records by the Civil
Service Commission, the name of
one candidate will be submitted
to the ASB president for appoint
ment, with the Board’s approval.

Law Enforcers Appropriate
Griffith Park for Frolic
By FRANCES KEATON
On Sunday afternoon, March 10, some 20 Lancers and Spartans,
loaded to the cartops with equipment, braved a battle with the crowds
at the Southern California sunshine haven, Griffith Park.
Warned in advance that food would not be served until six, the
picnickers moved well over in the seat to make room for the ’tween
meal snacks. All but one of the cars, bulging with tennis rackets,
baseball bats and checkers, managed to arrive at the destination
by 1:00. The exception was “Corky” Kirk’s red jalopy. Unhappy
with labor conditions, it staged a strike blow-out, forcing its load
to flag another car.

energy, less strenuous activities

The Chronicle offers apologies to the Junior Class and presi¬
dent Oliver Duffy for stating in the last issue that the Seniors were
in the Tug O’ War finals with the Sophomores. The Juniors, who beat
the Seniors in the first engagement, were the Sophs’ last competi¬
tion.
New Times Set
The executive student government groups have changed their
meeting times. The Cabinet will take over the time formerly used
by the Board, 8:00 a. m., Thursdays, while the Board meets Fridays
at 3:00 p. m.
Spanish Spree
On Tuesday, March 26, the annual Spanish Tertulia is to be held.
All Spanish pupils and other interested students are invited. Spon¬
sored by the Spanish division of the Language Council, the Tertulia
includes a speaker, entertainment and food.
Those flashy red handbills scattered around the campus this past
week are the prelude to some very secret forthcoming activity of
Phil Miller and his AMS Board. Watch for the ? to materialize about

speedball proved too taxing on
such as scouting, riding the mer¬
ry go round, and just plain loaf¬
ing were substituted for the re¬
mainder of the afternoon.
At six o’clock, the food com¬
mittee, headed by Charlotte Ag-
new, dished up generous portions
of hot dogs, potatoe salad and
chips, olives, pickles and cokes
to take up the slack in sagging
belts. A committee headed by
Marge Gerke and Lucile Stafford
gayly decorated the epicure’s
tables.
Tossing away the paper plates,
the youthful campus law enforc¬
ers engaged in a sort of poor
man’s polo called Capture the
Flag.
As the moon forgot to come
over the mountain, the fun weary
picnickers decided to leave Grif¬
fith to the frogs and other night
animals and return to the comfy
Edison at home.
