TOMLIN TO SING IN CLASS ASSEMBLY LOOP FINALS THIS WEEK FOR TRACKMEN Jteoticna (fljvomdc Vol. XXVI Pasadena, California, May 1, 1935 No. 26 Symphony In Concert Saturday Annual Spring Program Of College Orchestra At Civic Auditorium ADMISSION IS FREE Robt. Hoff, Violin Soloist, To Be Guest Artist Of Presentation Presenting its spring concert, the last presentation this semester, the Pasadena junior college sym¬ phony orchestra, under the direc¬ tion of Milton C. Mohs, will play at the Civic auditorium, Saturday night, May 4, at 8:15. There will be no admission charge. A guest artist will be presented in the person of Robert Hoff, win¬ ner of the three states violin con¬ test staged under the auspices of the Western States Music Confer¬ ence. Mr. Hoff will play a solo, the Mendelssohn concerto for the violin, accompanied by the or¬ chestra. Of Student Interest Although the concert is not given especially for students, Mr. Mohs declared that as -the program is to be very colorful he felt that many students would be interested and would attend. Evelyn Lingle, Bob Borden and Everette Nicholson will present a novelty number, “Fugue,” featur¬ ing two clarinets and an oboe. Other orchestrations to be given are the “Largo” from the New World Symphony, “A Night on Bare Mountain,” “The Bat Overture” and the “Jewels of the Madonna,” according to Mr. Mohs. He added that waltzes from “The Rosen Cavalier,” composed by Richard Strauss, would also be presented by the orchestra. Mr. Mohs further stated that this concert should have a popular appeal to the general student body because of the type of music to be presented. In this connection he thought that “A Night on Bare Mountain,” by Moussorgski, would be especially interesting because of its extreme difficulty it is seldom played by orchestras. The forthcoming spring concert is the last one given at home each year by the orchestra. A large audience is expected to be in at¬ tendance. Proselyting Is Outlawed Proselyting in junior college athletics was outlawed by legisla¬ tion at a business meeting held in conjunction with the state-wide secondary school administrators’ convention in San Francisco April 1, according to Principal John W. Harbeson. Dr. Harbeson was re-elected president of the California Society of Secondary Education at the con¬ vention, held in San Francisco’s Fairmont hotel. He discussed the junior college survey course as it has been used in P. J. C., and pre¬ sented data concerning its success in Chicago and Bakersfield schools. “The survey type of curriculum, which has been advanced in the in¬ terest of general education, has developed rapidly,” he said. Group discussions were held by represen¬ tatives from various state junior colleges in regard to local prob¬ lems, guidance and school business, and the opening talks were given by two state officials, Vierling Kersey and Walter Hepner.

Fifty cents per Call In Cards For Elections Meet Hears School Head Dr. John W. Harbeson, principal, speaking before the Newman club, holding its monthly communion breakfast at St. Elizabeth’s church in Altadena, following the 7:30 mass Sunday, emphasized seven points students should remember throughout life, and without which life would be meaningless. These points were: good health, intellec¬ tual growth, social participation, personal righteousness, a spirit of good will, a sense of humor and a good personal appearance. The Newman club is planning to send a delegation to a communion breakfast of Southern California Newman clubs, and Jack Jordan, president, expects the representa¬ tion to be the largest of the con¬ vocation, for the local group is the largest and most active in South¬ ern California. Candidates for student-body of¬ fices are urged to file activity cards by May 17, according to no¬ tice given out Dy Chief Justice Trevor Gardner, announcing the general school election dates as May 27 and 31. Activity cards may be obtained in the chief justice’s office in the student-body building from Gard¬ ner or Associate Justice Marjorie Betts. Preliminary balloting will begin May 27, and the finals are to be held the following Friday. In order to facilitate voting, booths will be placed in various places over the campus in lieu of the one central position near the student-body building. Check will be made of those voting by punch¬ ing their identification cards with a special shaped die. Hope is being held by present officers that a large number of students will turn out to vote. About one-eight of the school’s enrollment cast their ballots in the last election. Negotiations for a bonfire and a political hop are under way in order to muster needed interest in the election.

Harbeson Tut On Carpet’ Students Take Over Administration Early Friday morning at a meeting of the administration staff Johnny Harbeson was called "on the carpet and severely repri- led for creating a disturbance the day before. Outside the of- r pretty co-ed, Catherine Robbins, paced the floor muttering that wished the meeting would end for she had a first period class to get to.” With this beginning, Student Body Day was ushered in last Fri¬ day and proved to be one of the most successful ever held. School was conducted in regular manner, but the officers took their places among the students while selected students handled the various duties of the displaced administration staff. ‘Grave Matters’ Handled On the desk of the principal were Letters of application for teacher’s positions, so . Eleanor Northrup, acting in Dr. Harbeson’s place, promptly answered them. Several other vrave matters were likewise handled, but it remained for Dave Patrick, principal during the after¬ noon, to approve and pass on a “Re¬ port on the Progress of Pasadena Junior College,” compiled by the Guidance Department. “I want to quit school,” said the first visitor to Dean of Men Jack DeLonge. DeLonge was stumped momentarily, but between the two (Continued on Page Three) ’■plate is the charge for the dinners. Mrs. George Hetzel, wife of the John Marshall junior high school principal, has been secured for the main speaker. Sponsored by Bau¬ ble and Bell members, a play, “When It’s Spring,” by Phoebe Hoffman, is to be presented. Di¬ rected by Ruthanna Marble, the probable club members who will take part are Kenneth Cartzdafner, Murray Huss, Natalie Granerson and Peter Prouse. A short musicale has also been planned. Deadline Today Tickets for the event must be obtained before 2 o’clock today. They may be purchased in the student body office, from the Dean of Women, or from Carolyn Munn. Table and room decorations are carrying out an Hawaiian theme and committee members are busy mak¬ ing crepe-paper leis for the guests. Speaking of the affair, Miss Robbins, dean of women, said that “the Mother-Daughter banquet is one of newer social activities and one which seems to be one of the most popular of the school affairs.” Invites Girls Extending an invitation to the junior college girls, Miss Munn said, “This annual affair has al¬ ways been a success here and this year we are expecting an even larger attendance than ever before. I would like to urge as many as possible of the girls and their mo¬ thers to attend the banquet for the evening promises to be enjoyable for all.” Film Player To Be Guest Jean Carmen, Wampus baby star and R. K. O. player will be guest of honor at the fourth annual dance of the Newman club next Saturday evening, May 4. Miss Carmen will award prizes to winners of the dance contest. The gold room of the Hotel Huntington will again be the scene of the event, the Newmanites being the only campus club to hold a dance there. A cordial invitation is extended to the entire student body by Jack Jordan, president and general chairman of the dance committee, to attend. George Rettie and his orchestra will furnish the music. Rettie’s aggregation is in great demand for campus affairs, having played at a number of them this semester. They have filled engagements at various southland social events. Bids can be procured at the New¬ man office or from members of the club for one dollar. Patrons and patronesses include Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Scott, Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Jordan, Dr. and Mrs. Thomas R.

Juniors Are Steaming Up For Dance Routing For Junior Cruise Completed As Dance Train Nears Warning blasts from the whistle and shouts of “all aboard” from the conductor will start the “Junior Lines Cotillion” speeding on its ex¬ tended terpsichorean travel tour of the Southland from the Civic mu¬ nicipal station at 8:15 on Memorial Day Eve.

No Orchestra Selected The orchestra has not as yet been selected but, according to Dea Johnson, chairman of orchestra committee, the choice now lies be¬ tween a colored orchestra and an¬ other well-known Southland band. The committee hopes that the col¬ ored group may be procured so that the theme may be observed in every possible instance. Decorations, constructed by Yards Technician Jim Mathews and As¬ sistant Lyndon Vivrette, will in¬ clude a facsimile of an observation car in which the orchestra will per¬ form. Dances will be announced by symbols of well known lines which will be placed in the circular ad on the back of the car. Theme Song “He was cornin’ down the grade goin’ ninety miles an hour” or the “Wreck of the Old 97” has been selected as the theme song for the tour. It will be sung by a junior collegian before and after the dance. Baggage checks will be issued instead of the customary receipts at the “baggage room” under the direction of Bob Dawson. Bids are in the form of long folding train tickets. Each ticket will cover one dance. Reservations for bids will be made in the student body office by signing the large reservation book. Bulletin For Campus Roo * Due to be placed in the most advantageous position on the cam¬ pus, probably either the top of the pergola or on the roof of the Tech¬ nology building, a huge bulletin board will be purchased soon by the publicity committee, now func¬ tioning under the direction of Kit Cartwright, secretary of publicity. The committee recently bought an electric turntable and phonographic pickup for use with the public ad¬ dress system. Miss Cartwright declared that members of the publicity commit¬ tee would be on duty at a desk in the student union building, ready to receive applications, at the fol¬ lowing times: First period daily, fourth period Wednesday and Fri¬ day, fifth period Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and sixth period Wednesday and Friday. She also said that all publicity displayed on the campus must he rubber stamped by the committee or it would be removed. DISCUSS PROBLEMS To discuss student body admin¬ istrative problems, student and faculty officers held a pot-luck sup¬ per last Monday evening in the west end of the cafeteria. As an innovation, each member of the board of representatives and cabi¬ net invited a member of the fac¬ ulty as their guest.
