In ad¬ dition to these honors, the editorial “Paradise Regained” from the Chronicle of February 11, 1935, won first prize in the open individ¬ ual competition.

Schools included in the competition were San Bernar¬ dino, Santa Ana, Los Angeles, Chaffee, Ventura, Compton, River¬ side, Long Beach and Pasadena. Rate High All-Around First prize for the best all- around junior college paper, re¬ gardless of size, went to the Chaf¬ fee United Press, while the Chron¬ icle tied with the Los Angeles Jun¬ ior Collegian for second place. Both the United Press and the Junior Collegian are eight-column publi¬ cations, giving them a decided ad¬ vantage. In two divisions, sport page and feature page, the Chronicle tallied more points than the winners in the 7 and 8 column competition, while the front page was only one point behind the winner in the up¬ per bracket. The Junior Collegian front page, the United Press sport page, and the feature page of the Compton Tartar Shield were the winners of these awards.

Triad Exams Cause Of Midget Chronicle Issue Breaking all precedent, the Chronicle staff offers this midget edition as a test week “special.” Due to the limitations of time and energy placed on staff mem¬ bers by the triad exams, we blossom forth in a “pony” edi¬ tion, thus honoring the Frosh “handicap” Saturday. Make Plans For ' Elijah ’ George Garner, internationally- known negro singer, has been hired to take the leading tenor role in the oratorio, “Elijah,” to be pre¬ sented Friday, May 24 at 8 o’clock in the Civic auditorium. The other participants, 300 in all, are mem¬ bers of various choral groups of Pasadena junior college. According to Miss Parmley, the presentation of “Elijah” will be a substitute for the annual school opera, for which a stage would be needed for rehearsals. “Elijah,” on the other hand, may be learned in separate groups and put together on the stage at the auditorium. Jointly Directed This tremendous undertaking is under the joint direction of the peo¬ ple whose choral units are con¬ cerned; Miss Lula Claire Parmley’s a Capella choir and the girls glee club, Miss Carrie M. Sharp’s men’s glee club and John Henry Lyons’ two oratorio chorus classes. “The ‘Elijah’ chorus is highly dramatic and very attractive and the public have a treat in store for them in George Garner,” adds Miss Parmley. VO-MAG7 TO BE OUT ON MAY 23 The final issue of “Vo-Mag” for this school year is scheduled to ap¬ pear on Thursday, May 23. An Or¬ iental theme is followed through¬ out. According to Jean Backus, editor, “A firm adherence to theme makes this issue of Vo-Mag out¬ standing in that it has bound to¬ gether the advantages of both copy and cuts. The cuts are not only striking but beautiful. We hope to sell out again.” As a special feature, a Japanese print in color is presented. An in¬ terview with Hugh Walpole, noted English writer, two articles by Stanford professors, Dr. Reginald Bell and Dr. Ichihashi, will Lend a scholarly tone to the publication. Student written material, including an essay on India by Paul Monroe, will complete the magazine. HEAR “PINKY” TOMLIN “Pinky” Tomlin and the Candriva brothers, a trumpet sextet, were presented in a combined class meeting last Friday. Russ Staple- ton, former jaysee student, acted as master of ceremonies. Bob Ba¬ ker and John Benton, senior and sophomore heads, respectively, di¬ rected the assembly. Freshmen To Dance At 'Race Track’ Waltz Contest To Feature ‘Horses;’ Henderson’s Orchestra Due With only three days left before the start of the 1935 “Freshman Handicap,” Frosh dancers are near¬ ing the starting post for their class “race track” sport affair to be held on the Masonic Temple oval. The classic event will be the sixth “race” — a dance contest, with a valuable purse for the winner. It will be an open field with no limit to the number of starters. Miss Virginia Gollatz and Marvin Cup- pinger will be in the judges stand. Life-size reproductions of ponies and jockeys, bids as mutuel tickets, and hoofs beating to the rhythm of Gordon Henderson’s popular 10- piece orchestra, will further the at¬ mosphere of the “sport of kings.” Stage ‘Horse Show’ The winner of the “horse show” — a beauty contest — will be an¬ nounced at the track Friday night. In the interim, it will be kept a secret by the track manager, Chuck Braden. She was picked from 10 entries: Alberta Anderson, Barbara Gibson, Manon Harder, Helen Johnson, Dorothy Leahy, Elizabeth Moody, Ellen Nelson, Jane Pierman, Mildred Schmirtz and Rachel Williams. This winning “filly” will represent her class in the Mast and Dagger contest later. Stewards and stewardesses for the social function are: Dr. John W. Harbeson, principal; Miss Cath¬ erine J. Robbins, dean of women; Miss Ida E. Hawes, dean of guid¬ ance; John A. Anderson, dean of records; Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Brad¬ en, Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Tubman, Mr. and Mrs. T. C.
