World Problems
CITES LLOYD GEORGE
Writes Letter of Thanks to
W. F. Ewing for Re¬
ception Here
“Thanking you again for enlighten¬
ing me in your wonderful modern
methods of school management, I am
sincerely yours, Edward Berwick.”
So closes the cordial letter of ap¬
preciation received by W. F. Ewing,
principal, from the popular assembly
lecturer, who spoke here recently.
Mr. Berwick included in his letter a
communication to the Editor of the
CHRONICLE for publication, the title
of which is “Europe’s Sole Salvation.”
The text follows:
Mr. Lloyd George under war’s pres¬
sure turned prophet.
Said he, “We are learning many
things in this war.” Speaking of
Britain’s allies, he continued, “We
shall never meet as foreigners again.
Foreigners no more; there is a com¬
mon cause, a common table, a common
larder, a common coal cellar, and from
the common cause we shall have a
common brotherhood, which will be
the surest guarantee for peace on
earth and good will among men of all
races, creeds, and nationalities, to the
end of all time. Here we are daily
sharing our bread, sharing our gov¬
ernment, sharing even our heart’s best
blood with nearly the whole world.”
How delightful, how possible, that
sounded! Yet, Mr. Editor, hardly has
reconstruction time come, but here
these same everlasting friends" snarl¬
ing at each other’s heels,” insulting
and defying their “heart’s best
brother.”
What’s the remedy ?
One of extreme simplicity and prov¬
ed efficiency!
In five words, “The United States
of Europe!”
The simplicity and efficiency of
uniting has been abundantly proved
on this continent, proved in Canada,
proved in Australia, proved where-
ever tried. “Get together” goes!
Present diversity of Governmental
forms need be no insuperable bar.
States overflowing with loyalty to
their royalties could elect their pres¬
ent monarchs their future governors,
and their present nobles their coming
senators.
Economic reconstruction and rehab-
iliation could proceed apace, as the ex¬
penses of war and navy departments,
and of the diplomatic and consular
services could be brought to an irre¬
ducible minimum, or nil!
Aloofness and selfishness have
failed. “Get together’” would sue-

To Be Read, Not Looked At
“Have you read this?” is not sim¬
ply a sign in the library at P. H. S.
it is a suggestion that the books under
it are to be taken out and used.
They are selected by Miss W. E.
Skinner for their special interest and
merit as good examples of recent lit¬
erature. For this reason Miss Skin¬
ner hopes that the books will be taken
up and read. Often the very best
books are found on this shelf and if
the sign inspires fear, the book seeker
misses the thing he wants.
IS THE P. H. S. CHRONICLE
WORTH READING? ASK
ONE WHO KNOWS
Local Men Are the Guests
of the Principal at
Luncheon
When Dr. Daniel F. Fox, noted au¬
thor, lecturer, andvpastor of the First
Congregational church of Pasadena,
visited the CHRONICLE office recent¬
ly, he was asked if he was receiving
his copy of the CHRONICLE, he re¬
plied with enthusiasm, “Yes, and
what’s more I read it.’*
Dr. Fox and two other visitors,
Clayton R. Taylor, member of the
Board of Education, and J. Q. Puffer,
Pasadena lumber merchant, were the
guests of W. F. Ewing, principal, at
the high school early this week.
After visiting the many depart¬
ments of the school, they accepted
Mr. Ewing’s invitation to eat lunch
in the teachers’ cafeteria. During
the fifth period the guests visited the
CHRONICLE office and the printing
department. They were greatly im¬
pressed with everything they saw, and
were particularly interested in the
Physical Education department and
the school library.
HI APRIL 20
IS BAIL SET FOB
Frosh Meet Sophs, Juniors
Meet Seniors, the Win¬
ner Meets Winner
SOPHS HOLD CUP NOW
Topic on War Debt Cancel¬
lation Has Been
Chosen
“Should the allied war debts be can¬
celed by mutual agreement?”
The inter-class debaters will attempt
to solve this problem in the annual
clash to be staged on the twentieth of
next month.
Who will win the cup which is now
in possession of the Sophomores ?
The Freshmen are to debate with
the Sophomores; the Juniors with the
Seniors at the same time. The win¬
ners of the debate will tangle in a
third round which will be held some¬
time in May. This victory will de¬
cide the winner of the cup. The name
of the debaters, the class, and the
date will be engraved on the cup
which will remain in the possession of
that class for one year.
Each class is working hard. Miss
Mary E. Davis, member of the lan¬
guage department, is coaching the
Seniors and Emory A. Foster, mem¬
ber of the English department, has
charge of the Juniors. Owing to the
great number of aspiring tongue
twisters in the Sophomore class, Leon
Yakely, member of the Social Science
department, and W. A. Newlin, head
of the mathematics department, are
both kept busy, while T. V. Truman,
member of the agriculture department
is laboring with the Freshmen.
A crack team will be chosen to rep¬
resent each class in the contest on
April 20.
FRENCH LECTURE TO
BE GWEN ON MONDAY
“La France Contemporaine” (The
France of Today) is the subject upon
which Professor Albert Leon Guerard,
head of the Romance Language de¬
partment of Rice Institute, Texas, will
speak at the Kanst Art Gallery, 826
South Hill street, Los Angeles, next
Monday at 8 P. M.
Professor Guerard is one of the
most prominent French professors in
the United States, and will give this
lecture under the auspices of the Mod¬
em Language Association of South¬
ern California.
The lecture will be given in French
and it is hoped that a good many of
the advanced students in the French
department will attend. The price of
student ticket is 25c, and other tickets
are 50c and 75c.
A meeting of the Senior class was
held Tuesday during the advisory
period in the auditorium. The main
object of the meeting was the voting
of the class on the disposal of the
money in the treasury at the end of
the year.
Mr. Ewing urged all graduating
Seniors to give at the office the names
they want on their diplomas. He also
stated that at Tournament Park,
where the graduation exercises will be
held, half of the seats have been torn
down to furnish lumber for the new
stadium, so there will be only 10,000
seats, whereas the class has been
counting on 20,000. Mr. Ewing, in
closing, made a final appeal to the
Seniors to be sure of their credits so
no one will be left out of the gradua¬
tion which will take place Thursday,
June 15.
The class was urged to buy tickets
to the Jinx, which took place Wednes¬
day, the proceeds from which helped
to swell the treasury.
A lively discussion was held con¬
cerning the disposal of the money at
the end of the year. The money now
in the class treasury, together with
the proceeds from the Senior play,
will enable the class of ’22 to present
to the school a new curtain for the
auditorium besides contributing to the
scholarship fund.
The color of the curtain will be de¬
cided upon before long and the con¬
tract will be given to the T. W. Math¬
er Co. The class numerals will be
placed on the curtain. The curtain
now being used in the auditorium Is
said to be in a very delapidated con¬
dition and a new one will make a very
useful and beautiful present and one
by which the class of ’22 may be re¬
membered in years to come.
WATER DOGS WILL HAVE A
"HOME GROUND” IN
A FEW DAYS
“C’mon in, the water’s fine.” This
ancient cry may again be heard from
the mouths of many P. H. S. “bath¬
ing beauties.”
For many months the P. H. S.
plunge has not contained enough
water to drown an ant, but at last it
has been filled.
Many young “splashes” will again
have a place to wash their feet. Now
that the warmer weather is fast ap¬
proaching, the plunge will be a mecca
for those desiring to keep cool. The
Pasadena water polo fiends will have
a place to “scalp the enemy” on their
own grounds instead of doing the
“splashy work” at the L. A. A. C.
pool.
APRILlTEMTOlE
NEW II ORIGINAL
Originality is to be the key-word of
the April ITEM. It will be the first
number of this publication which will
have been prepared entirely in the
school printshop. The only outside
expense will be the cost of the paper
and staples. As the school is now
equipped to do the linotyping, every¬
thing except photo-engraving can be
done in the local printing department.
In making originality a feature,
this nijmber will present something
unique in the way of illustrations.
Wood cuts will be the fashion. Some
of the modern magazines have been
reviving this art of late. The cover
design will be a wood-cut by Anita
Ubil. Several other students are at
work with blocks and chisels. Among
the best cuts completed to date are
those of Robert Brewer.
: notice :
* All students who still have *
* snapshot negatives that are *
* clever and “different from the *
* rest” are asked to turn them in *
* at the Annual Office, 116C, for *
* cuts to he put in the Annual. *

ASPIRANTS FOR SENIOR
PLAY WILL TRY OUT
THIS AFTERNOON
Miss Keppie Will Hold Try¬
outs Today in the Audi¬
torium
AH Seniors who intend to go out
for the Senior class play should be in
the auditorium at 3:30 today for the
preliminary tryouts as members of
the cast will he chosen from the suc¬
cessful contestants of today’s tryout.
Miss Keppie urges all who are try¬
ing out to bring two selections to
read, one a comedy and the other a
more serious part.
As there are generally more mascu¬
line characters than there are femi¬
nine in a play, the Senior boys are es¬
pecially wanted to be present this af¬
ternoon. However that does not
mean that the girls have no chance
for there are bound to be a number of
them in the cast.
Since all the members of the cast
will be chosen from those who come
out this afternoon, it is the only
chance for anyone to get into the play.
‘ANNUAL’ III APPEAR
01 LAST THURSDAY
UEFQREGRADUATION
Work In Different Sections
Already Far on Way to
Completion
COYER DESIGN MADE
Standard Photo Engraving
Co. of Los Angeles Will
Make All the Cuts
That the ANNUAL will be given
out during the advisory period on the
last Thursday before the summer va¬
cation, was decided recently by the
administration. For the last few
years it has been distributed on the
last day.
It will be possible to get the AN¬
NUAL out a day earlier as the work
is now well under way. The entire
Senior section is complete, the design
for the cover has been chosen, the
writing for athletics is well started,
and the drawings and illustrations are
rapidly being finished. The two ko¬
dak days this year brought good re¬
sults, consequently a good series of
snapshots will be had.
In order to be so far advanced with
the work, many hours of hard work
are required. This year’s staff has
willingly put in hours of work to
make the ANNUAL the success it
promises to be.
It was decided to have the engrav¬
ings done by the Standard Photo En¬
graving Co., of Los Angeles. This
company has done engraving for the
school publications many times. Ac¬
cording to Wallace R. Morris, direc¬
tor of the high school printshop, the
work is very good and will help to
make the ANNUAL rank among the
best that have been published in the
high school.
SEE REGISTRAR ABOUT
COLLEGE INFORMATION
When H. T. Clifton, P. H. S. Regis¬
trar asked anyone who wished ques¬
tions answered concerning college en¬
trance to come to him he gave a very
fine opportunity for these people.
Of course much information may be
derived from the catalogues of the
various colleges which many desire to
enter. AH of these catalogues for
this year are in the school library.
Mr Clifton’s advice is that, even
though you have decided upon the col¬
lege you will enter, be sure to look
over the catalogues, for changes have
been made in requirements for many
colleges and yours may be among
them.
НЕЮ Ш,
MARCH
30 BIG PHYSICAL
EDUCATION EVENT
Horrell Field, Swimming
Pool, Gym, to be Scenes
of Much Activity
PLAY IN AUDITORIUM
“Bring all Your Friends and
Relatives,” Urges W. K.
Dunn, Director
A water polo game with Long
Beach, a play put on by the Physical
Education Department, and a fancy
diving exhibition are a few of the
treats in store for all P. H. S. students
and their parents and friends on Fri¬
day, March 30. W.
К
.Dunn, head of
the physical education department, is
making every effort to make this a
big day for Pasadena High.
The events will begin at 10:30 on
Horrell Field. There will be compet¬
itive marching between boys and girls
of the different gym periods, a good
old-time rally with yells and songs,
mass drill by boys, gymnastic drill
and rythmics by the girls, and track
and field events by both girls and
boys.
The next act takes place in the
swimming pool where a collection of
aquatic artists will give an exhibition
of fancy diving, swimming and life
saving. At 12:30 luncheon will be
served in the cafeteria. From there
the crowd will move to the girls’ gym
where Miss Hazel Cooper’s class will
give a demonstration of corrective
work.
The girls will also give an exhibi¬
tion of competitive drill marching,
calisthentics and apparatus work. Vol¬
ley ball, soccer, playground baseball,
clock golf, and other games will lend
excitement to the program.
The audience will then adjourn to
the auditorium where a play will be
presented by the Physical Education
department.
The receipts of the play will be
turned over to the Student Body to re¬
plenish the deficit caused by the ex¬
pense of athletic necessities. Last,
but not least, is the water polo game
between Long Beach and Pasadena.
These two old rivals will again strug¬
gle for supremacy of the seas.
DEPOSITS AT THE BANK
ARE SLOWLY INCREASING
“It is hoped that soon 20 per cent,
or one-fifth of the student body will
have savings in the school bank,” was
a statement made by John A. Ander¬
son, adviser of finance and a member
of the commercial department.
There have now been forty deposits
made in the bank. This shows a slow
but sure increase.
Although the deposits are made at
High School bank, no money can be
drawn from there. In order to „take
out money, the student must go to
Security Trust and Savings Bank,
Raymond and Colorado.
WASTE PAPER HELPS
SWELL WORTHY FUND
Test papers, lunch boxes, old
CHRONICLES, lengthy themes, and
strips, squares and circles of paper,
every bit, is done up in bales. It is
collected from every building on the
campus, from everywhere in fact, ex¬
cept from the ground. When once it
touches that its fate is sealed, for it
is sure to be burned. But when plac¬
ed nicely in the trash can or waste
basket, it is used for a most worthy
cause. It is baled and sold, the pro¬
ceeds going to the scholarship fund.
But inanimate paper cannot direct
its own fate, it is the person who
throws the paper — and misses the
waste basket, who is to blame. There¬
fore it is probably the earnest wish of
every scrap of paper to be thrown in¬
to the basket, where it may serve a
noble purpose, and not on the ground
to be burned. There’s a moral to be
found in this.
The sale of the waste baled paper is
four dollars a ton, which at a ton and
a half a month, is no mean income.
