Archie Wedemeyer, art department head, was faculty adviser of the com¬ mittee. Sponsorship of the candidate se¬ lection was under the direction of the student body board, with the Chronicle aiding them. The Queen of the Flower Show with her five Princesses, each of whom will be called Princess of Roses, Poppies, Tulips, Gladiolas and Primroses, will preside over the annual spring floral display sponsored by the Pasadena Horti¬ cultural society and the Chamber of Commerce. Funds for the project came from the State Emergency Re¬ lief administration which has as its head, R. C. Brannion of San Francisco. Application for this aid was made by Dr. John W. Harbeson. Of the 221 students on the pay¬ roll, there are proportionate num¬ bers of mem and women. There are 70 men working on the grounds. Among the jobs this group is undertaking is a complete clean¬ ing of the weeds from the front lawn, widening the driveway, level- Senior : ing the parking lot, and cleaning the sidewalks and curbs every Sat- True Easter Celebration Results From Sincerity There are people who get new clothes for Easter, and there are those who go annually to church to show them off. While some stay home to read the comic section and eat Easter eggs, some prefer to arise before dawn to attend the sunrise services. Many seek inspiration in church, while oth¬ ers find new life among, the beauty and stillness of peaceful hills. There are many ways to celebrate Easter. No one can say which one is right; but each in his heart hears the verdict of his own concience. It is not whether one witnesses an impressive ceremony, if the ceremony be to him an end in itself, or whether one does not go to church at all, so long as truth and inspiration find lodging in his heart. As the first rays of the Easter sun illuminate the white cross on the hill, the whole world, hushed in expectation glimp¬ ses the presence of endless Life, the Lifel of which the mortal span is but a counterfeit at best. And in this life they see anew the true status of Man's being, and feel again the consolation of the Master's words, “Lo, I am with you always."

Bulldog Band To Entertain Here “Trip, trip over the grass, mer¬ rily went a laughing lass,” only there were six lasses instead of one, for the six daughters of Dame Paula, in the spring operetta “Sweethearts,” by Victor Herbert, were rehearsing their act on the turf west of the music hall. This musical comedy is under the direc¬ tion of Miss Lula C. Parmley, head of the music department, and is to be presented in the John Muir Technical school auditorium on April 26, 27 and 28. Costuming is being done by the department of recreation in Pasadena. In the first act, ac¬ cording to Miss Parmley, a beau¬ tiful array of colorful costumes enlivens the background. The six sisters will appear in blue satin, Dutch costumes appliqued with pink tulips. There will be two varieties of peasant costumes, the men being dressed in the typical style of baggy trousers, square coats, and brass buttons. Clever costuming will be repre¬ sented in the military chorus when the girls will appear in white satin and cerise. Concluding the first act an en¬ semble of Mother Goose characters will be decked in the various “fairy tale” costumes, while 15 girls from Miss Hendrichs’ danc¬ ing class will do a Dutch ensemble in cerise-colored dresses. The second act is a procession of modern costumes. The six sisters come to the prince’s chateau in hand-painted gowns, but later they change to white satin and silver dresses for the wedding. Miss Mabel Kay, who has done costuming for the operettas in previous years, will help with the work this year. Some of the clothes are being rented from the Los Angeles costumers. There will be evening perform¬ ances at 8:30 on the three nights. Admission will be 50 and 35 cents, with all seats reserved, according to the board of representatives, who have charge of the publicity for the affair. Ned Thomas, Jack Atkinson, Elmer Morton, Orville Stanchfield and Norman Martin were appoint¬ ed as initial members of the letter- men’s council, headed by Bob Wegge and Norman Ricker, by the board of representatives. The purpose of the lettermen’s council is to gain recognition for those who have earned letters, by seeing that no foreign letters are worn on the campus, that no per¬ son wears a letter who has not earned it, and see that minor sport letters are worn on sweaters. Consisting of five members who have earned at least one let¬ ter, the group was appointed by president of the Associated Men Students, Bob Wegge, and the secretary of athletics, Norman Ricker, with the approval of the board of representatives. Many other duties will come under the jurisdiction of the coun- ciling group and they will include the notification of violators of the lettermen ordinances. If the no- ; tices are not respected the viola¬ tor’s name is to be given to the A. M. S. head or the secretary of athletics for further action. No statement has as y.et been made as to the character of the steps to be taken in delinquent cases. “We feel that this organization will do much to stop the three un¬ desirable activities of students of this institution listed under the du¬ ties of the council,” said Wegge and Ricker. The largest debate tournament ever to be held in Southern Cali¬ fornia, the Pi Kappa Delta province debate convention, will be held at Caltech and Pasadena junior college March 22, 23 and 24. P. J. C. will be the host to the Southern California jaysee speakers, while Caltech will entertain the four-year colleges. ~ ■ Junior college’s debate teams, | under the direction of Earl D. Davis, will be composed of Paul i Jones and Marlin Lovelady, Louis Lagrave and James Williams, ; Virginia Hudson and Robert* AtchSey, and Joe Phelps and Jose Ganzon.

Dancing Classes Are Still Open Dancing classes, sponsored by the Social Affairs committee and under the direction of Buckner and Nessley studios, are held every Monday and Thursday afternoons at 3 p. m. in the women’s gym¬ nasium. These classes offer a splendid opportunity for students to become acquainted with other students of the school. According to Miss Catherine J. Robbins, who is in charge of the classes, more women students are needed in the Thurs¬ day beginners’ class. Men stu¬ dents, having had the equivalent of ten dancing lessons, are much in demand in the Monday after¬ noon classes. Price for the course of lessons is $1.25. Dean Grace Bird Will Give Report Dean Grace V. Bird of Bakers¬ field junior college will report on her study of “Social Intelligence Curriculum on the Junior College Level,” at the Pasadena junior col¬ lege faculty meeting scheduled for April 4.

Drama will also be heard with the operattic numbers as the dramatic portion of the opera is interpreted by students under Miss ! Kathrine Kester. Miss Lula C. Parmley heads the musical sel¬ ection. William G. Kohner, forestry head at P. J. C., is scheduled to speak on his department, stress¬ ing the recreational values and contributions of the forest.

Through the efforts of Lennox Tierney, science student, permis¬ sion has been received from is¬ land officials for the group to collect specimens for study at the junior college. According to Miss Mabel B. Peir- son, biological science department head, the island abounds with a great variety of botanical and ma¬ rine specimens which will be used to great advantage later. In addition to the jaysee group, there will be individual parties from Occidental, the University of Southern California, and U.C.L.A. The trip will be made on the cabib cruiser “Stranger,” which was formerly a submarine chaser, termed by marine experts to be absolutely serviceable.
