Faculty Submits To Student Body Rule As School Is Reversed - ♦ — ; - Announcing a drastic revision of all policies concerning modern education, including a higher grade scale and a maximum two-hour day, principal Dexter Paddock, of Pasadena junior college last Wednesday took action on several major issues-* - which were promptly vetoed Thurs¬ day morning -.with the return of Student Body President Johnny Harbeson to his desk in the admin¬ istration building. The occasion was the annual Student Body day, last Wednesday, at which time the faculty and students change jobs, and the teachers go to classes and the students tell them what to do. In a statement to the Chronicle, Harbeson said, as he whipped along to his sixth period class in econo¬ mics or something, “Of course it would be impossible in one day to undo all the effects of so many years of maladministration. I do believe, however, that we student officers did set before the principal and his associates a standard of school administration which should put them to shame at least for the time being. At any rate, we’ll have to worry along for another year until next year's student officers take over the reins of the college.” Other administrative offices taken over were John (Andy) Anderson, Mr. Paul Douglas; Ida Hawes. Mr. Philip Cartwright; Pat O’Mara, Mr. Vernon Leif; Catherine Rob¬ bins, Miss Ellen Lombard; Polly Novak, Miss Peggy Munn; Lena Alcorn, Miss Barbara Lombard; Edith Cartwright, Miss Mary Wadsworth; Mary Brosius, Miss Mildred Schmertz; Flo Wright, Miss Lucia Pownall; Mabel White, Miss Eveleth Clark; and Myrt Tinkham, Mr. Sam Schwartz.
