TYPING CONTEST Ethel Argetsinger, ’26, will rep¬ resent Pasadena High School in the Southern California Typewrit¬ ing Contest to be held at Alham¬ bra Saturday, May ». In the pre¬ liminary contest held at P. H. S. April 25, Ethel took first place by writing at the speed of 72 words a minute, and has a very good chance of winning the Southern California Contest. The contest held last Saturday was a preliminary elimination. Los Angeles County was divided into districts, a contest being held in each district. That in which Ethel participated in was held in Pasadena. According to J. A. Anderson, head of the Commercial depart¬ ment, the speed of 72 # words a minute is rarely attained by stu¬ dents, and perhaps not equaled in the entire state. Ethel is entered in the unlimited class. It is said that her speed equals that made by any student in the preliminary contests. In the contest held April 25, Bernice Loving, ’26, "took third place in the unlimited class and Honor Shields, ’26, took second place in the third class. time give assistance worthy cause. |Uie smucuw ш Ч1С U1J-CC1.1UI1 41 wno still OWe 82 world peace.

The Littleton Oratorical Contest is dif¬ ferent from the others in that it is an extemporaneous one. Con¬ testants step up on the platform, pick up a slip of paper and speak on the subject indicated on the slip of paper. The general subject of the con¬ test will be “World Peace.” Some of the contestants will have to give introduction, presentation, accep¬ tance, and after-dinner speeches. Ruth B. Dane, a former member of the class of ’26, writes from Geneva that she has been enjoy¬ ing the snow in the Alps. She tells of one trip upon which she learned the art of using the skiis. She says that the speed attainable on skiis is practically unlimited. Going up hill and going down hill are two entirely different things, as the first is the hardest. Ac¬ cording to Ruth, it is no simple matter to manage your feet with six-foot skiis strapped onto them Total assets . 27,892.70 Due from borrowers, as above . 25,662.24 Permanent fund in sav¬ ings bank not subject to loans . 2,000.00 Less overdraft on ac¬ count carried in school bank . 269.54 Total . 1,780.70 Total loans made . . 31,828.74 Total net cash rec’d . 27,392.70 Used more than once .... 4,436.04 SCIENCE STUDENTS TAKE EXCURSION THURSDAY Two medals are being offered, ■ and beginner can tie llimself in_ one for first place the other for £о fte mogt surprising knots. second p ace. le pie iminaiy j Rutb bas been jn Eur0pe for over tryouts will be held May 21.
