During Youth Day
In an ever-growing observance
of National Youth Week, approxi¬
mately 125 PJC leaders stepped
to the helm last Tuesday, to
learn some of the fundamental
problems of city government, and
to give the administrators a stu¬
dent’s view of the city efficiency.
A letter of introduction was given
to each ousted official explaining
the purpose of 'Youth Day, and
In this year’s Youth Day, I
have had the cooperation of many
people. The administration, the
faculty, and business and profes¬
sional men up town have assisted
in placing junior college students
in key positions. They have help¬
ed them and advised them in key
positions. They have helped them
amt advised them of the problems
which our coming leaders must
face.
Here at school, the students
contacted ’people, typed, attended
meetings, carried out assigned
jobs — but more than that, they
entered into the spirit of Youth
Day to make this the mos suc¬
cessful yet held. Thanks a lot,
■students — and best of luck next
year.
— Fred Bolander
asking that he report to student
government at PJC his personal
opinion as to the worth of Youth
Day, and the job done by his
^temporary successor.
A Representatives of the Chamber
of Commerce, and other down¬
town organizations with a part in
the planning of Youth Day, have
revealed that next year the activ¬
ity will be enlarged to a Youth
Week, with the students function¬
ing in a different part of city life
each day.
A report of this Youth Day
was made to the citizens through
newspapers, complete with pic¬
tures and articles written by jour¬
nalism students, and several PJC-
managed radio shows.
Fred Bolander, former student
body president, made the plans
for Youth Day, and took the pos¬
ition himself of Dr. Harbeson.

Malik's Concert of Jazz
Swings Out Next Tuesday

present to the junior college audience a new stage entertainment,
his yet unpublicized Jazz Concert, scheduled for Tuesday night,
May 14. Gil Linsley’s augmented orchestra will be the main con¬
stituent of the program, and will perform an original jazz opus by
Lionel Soracco, among other numbers. Perhaps the greatest drawing
card of the performance will be
the expected appearance of Slim
Gaillard and Trio of Cement Mix¬
er fame.
Through the aid of ex-Pasadena
Junior College man Charles Davis
many other local musicians have
been interviewed, and have been
contracted to attend. Among
these latter are Russell Jacquet,
Frankie Lane and an exceptional
trio from the Cotton Club, who
specialize in a rendition of Be-
Baba-Le-Ba.
The aforementioned opus by
Lionel Soracco will feature solo¬
ists from every section of the Gil
Linsley orchestra, including the
altoist, Kenny DeVaul who per¬
formed in Marshall Malik’s “Fan¬
tasy,” The work is divided into
three sections: Allegro, Andante
(blues themes) and Mol to Allegra
(strictly frantic!).
A special arrangement of Claire
de Lune was composed by pianist
Stan Gollery, and will be offered
for the touch of sophistication.
