Somewhere around 6:15 p. m. last Saturday on the Pasadena grounds, the local high was barely leading the P. H. S.— Poly track meet by the score of 59 to 58. But just about this time the relay, the deciding event of the meet, was pulled off, and a little over a minute and one half later, the home fans were celebrating j the first track victory of the year and showering blessings j on the members of the relay Four Squads Contest Band- Beachite Trackmen to Ap¬ pear at Pasadena in Startling Attire Almost Unmuzzled Is Claim of the Hard Working Staff for Item HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SPEND TIME AT team, not forgetting to give one Chas.

When ever Pasadena and all in their power to secure the best Long Beach meet in a contest, one is possible stories, and not only the best always sure of seeing lots of pep dis- j stories from a literary standpoint, but played and a scrap from start to finish, the utmost cafe has been taken to For the past two years the Bull dogs publish only such stories and articles have walloped the Pollywogs.

A number of new writers of excep¬ tional ability as well as some of the old celebrities. It is the aim of the CHRONICLE STAFF ARE STRICKEN BY MEASLES SYMPTOMS the large number of physical wrecks on the Pasadena team, the large crowd of rooters which was not pres¬ ent, and the large amount of coaxing taken to get “Camouflage” Paddock to run in the relay and win the meet. The four fast races Paddock ran in the A. A. U. Relay Carnival the pre¬ vious Saturday were somewhat of a strain on Charles’ heart, and he did n<jt enter the 220, but when he saw that the result of the meet depended on the relay he finally decided to take a chance and run in it. Owing to the rain all last week, the members of both teams had been unable to do much training, and as a result no phenominal marks were made. The season’s records for the 440 and shot put were broken, how¬ ever. Robinson of Poly won the quar¬ ter mile race in 55 flat, breaking Ken¬ ny Saunder’s record by one fifth of a second. In the shot put, Clovis Fouche in his first appearance on the P. H. S. track squad this year, made a heave of 42 feet, 6 1-4 inches which is about two feet farther than the cannon ball has been thrown hy any high school athlete so far thi's year. Saunders of Pasadena, took plen¬ ty of time in running twice around the track in the first race of the day easily winning the 880. Robinson, the been seen. But so far this is not an ex¬ traordinary sight. These boys were busily sitting at long tables folding bandages and further each of these boys were attired in a neat white cap and close fitting aprons. After the assembly last week the hoys were divided in squads under the leadership of Moore, Ireland, Wood¬ ward and Greenstreet. These squads meet weekly on Fridays or Mondays for about one hour. The boys that have volunteered have found that the work was easy and pleasant with rivalry be¬ tween the different squads. And the work is certainly needy. One of the ladies in charge of the Red Cross work told the boys that the bandages which they were folding had to be used four or five times simply be¬ cause there were not enough ban¬ dages for the demand. Last Friday j Woodward’s squad folded the most j abndages. This was because this was the largest squad. The members on this squad are Frederick De Silva, A1 Wesson, Sterling Mueller, Jack Bangs, Donald Palmer, Dean Herrick, Frank Blauvelt, Henry Cheney, Julian Wood-i ward and Phillip Johnson. Walden Moore’s squad consisted of Llewellyn Gilbert, Oscar Palmer, Lowell Traut- man, Donald Palmer, and Charles Prickett. Dean Ireland obtained the services of Harold Minskey, Allen Pyle, Walter McLoughlin, Stewart Beltz, Chuck Tanner, Jack Brown, Fred Runyon. Albert Greedstreet’s two ineligible men, and the meet was awarded to the Cardinal contingent by the score of 63 ,to 59. The recent defeat the Beachites handed P. H.

Not satisfied with having attacked many well-known members of this school, the mea¬ sles have started in on the Chron¬ icle staff, and judging by the hav¬ oc it is now playing, the students will be lucky if they get a paper next week. The disease has been making the rounds of P. H. S., for the past few weeks. Here is a brief history of its journey. (1) Brought here by 7.

Poly High forfeited the 100 yard dash to Paddock, giving Pasadena first place in that event without very much competition. Paddock took a five yard handicap and endeavored to catch Schiller of Poly at the fifty-yard . mark. He succeeded and loafed the rest of the race, Schiller finishing first, closely followed by Kemp. The pole vault brought out some strong competition, but in the end Boh Shlaudeman won out with the height of 10 feet, 6 inches. The shot put was closely contested for a short time between Hartman and Fouche. Although Foucffe has been putting the shot over forty feet reglularly at practice, he was unable to heat Hartman’s throw until his last turn came, and then he took a shot at the moon and proceeded to make the season’s record. The discus was a repetition of the shot put for the P.-H. S. man. Hart¬ man’s farthest throw had Fouche’s best beaten by inches until Clovie’s last turn came.

FAMOUS ENGLISH POET IS TO LECTURE AT PASADENA Time certainly drags when there are festivities in the air and it cer¬ tainly seems as if Friday, the 15th and “Ye Military Camp” affair will never roll around. A party under the aus¬ pices of that clever Junior Class So¬ cial committee is bound to be a suc¬ cess and this widely advertised func¬ tion will he no exception to the rule. 'Kids in khaki and maids in middies will he there in regiments and anyone found in dress-up uniform will be speedily court-martialed and shot at sunrise. The program is to be a varied and melodious one and the picked talent of the camp will perform. The mili¬ tary hand, unofficially styled the CHRONICLE ANNUAL STAFF FOR 1918 IS ANNOUNCED It didn’t irain last Thursday, oh no. It just poured. No one got soaked. Emphatically not. Only drenched thoroughly and moisten¬ ed throughout. Not a person slip¬ ped on the front steps and fell and broke their journey. Certain¬ ly not. They only lost their bal¬ ance and tumbled headlong. No one sat down to their lessons to find that they were unable to rise again. Not in the smallest particu¬ lar. They just felt attached to their studies. There wasn’t any need for people wading across gutters. In fact they didn’t have a chance; they had to swim. School wasn’t in session until 4:30, because somebody called an assembly and excused everyone. Nobody was ijlad to hear the news No indeed. Everyone simply shouted and started a stampede and sailed out of the auditorium at 40 knots an hour. But contrary to tradition prediction it rained all day then some. and and With the announcement of the Chronicle Annual staff the first of the Senior graduation activities is launch¬ ed and another class prepares to leave Pasadena High School for ever.
