The action of the play, which is continuous, takes place on the night of July 15, 1V89, in an inn, a former castle, in northern France. History presents no more strange, mysterious character than Count Cagliostro, who lived in the troublesome times of Louis and Marie Antoinette. He stalks through the “Black Flamingo,” dominating all the other charact¬ ers, both singly and in groups. He performs his magic to con¬ found his enemies. He mesmer¬ izes Diana De Lussac and finds her lost brother. He braves the ferocity of the mob. This mys¬ tery is also interspersed with hilarious comedy. Those students included in the cast are Felipe Bodier, an inn¬ keeper, Dick Hanna; Nicole, his wife, Constance Johnston; Clotilde, a servant, Patty Skinner; Bour- ienne, Andrew Carnahan; Triguad, Hadley Eliker; Francois de Lussac, Fred Warriner; Eugene De Lussac, Don Neely; Deane and Charlotte, his daughters, Lita Houston and Mary Lou Perry; the priest, Nob- ert Budschuh; Popo, Ray Radford; Gavroche, Carroll Tainter; Bas- sange, Paul Monroe; first citizen, Tom Pollock; second citizen, George Longworth; a priest, James Vorhis; villagers, etc., Betty Bruner, Betty Lawyer, Grace Archer and Merle Bartoo.

Sol Shines Printers Denude When Old Sol went on a ram¬ page last Monday, students in practically every portion of the campus suffered accordingly, but the Franklin prodigies in the jaysee print shop were confront¬ ed with the added burden of three discouragingly active melt¬ ing pots. But if the print shop was the most torrid place on the junior college hemisphere, it was also the nearest thing to a masculine sanctuary that the campus has to offer, with the possible ex¬ ception of the men’s gym. So off went shirts and under¬ shirts, up went industry, and down went temperatures. But Emerson’s law of compensation wasn’t through with them yet — back it came like a slap in the face, when they realized that by sacrificing their attire they had exposed just so much more car¬ nal expanse to the ravaging ad¬ vances of grease and ink that are so synonymous with the word printing. Miss Elizabeth E. Keppie, who is directing “The Black Flamingo,” Players’ Guild mystery play to be presented May 18 in the John Marshall auditorium. To Celebrate Hobby Day Here May 18 Programs From School Organizations Are Being Planned Avocation or hobby day will be held under the supervision of the Student Vocational counsel, May 18. Although most of the pro¬ grams will be given during assem¬ bly period, exhibits will be held all day, according to Miss Ida E. Hawes, dean of guidance and sponsor of the day. The Student Vocational coun¬ sel consists of representatives from each of the departments, who are Dorris Green, art; Paul Hattersley, science; Ernest Bail- ly, business education; David B. Brown, English; Ellen Jones, social science and language; Orlie Lainf, mathematics, and Isobel Goldie, music. Non-restrictive clubs are exhib- i iting individually, while restrictive j clubs will combine on one big J project. j W. A. A. wll have an exhibition tennis match; Epicomega will hear an authority on styles (probably Peggy Hamilton) ; the Engineer¬ ing club will present moving pic¬ tures on the construction of Boul¬ der Dam; Philatelic will hold an exhibition of stamps; Nom de Plume will have an exhibition of manuscripts, and Phylo will show the newest books. Beta Phi Gamma will open the old files of the Chron¬ icle, Campus, and Vo-Mag; Bauble and Bells will present three plays at the First Baptist church; Aes- cul.apian will exhibit modern and old fashioned surgical instruments; Phi Rho Pi will hold a debate, and the Aero Tech association will present an aeronautical exhibition. The Sophomore class will hear a talk by Cecil F. Martin on “Coaching.” Members of La Filipina will give vocal, instru¬ mental and comedy selections, while the Boys’ glee club will sing numerous numbers. The youth of all nations will celebrate goodwill day, May 18, also. “Friendly and sincere co¬ operation today and tomorrow with all peoples of the world, is needed today more than ever,” said Miss Katherine Kenaga, social science instructor, in commenting upon the occasion. The idea was inaugurated by England as a movement to streng¬ then the sentiments of young peo¬ ple of different nations toward each other. Voters Must Find Solution Of Jaysee Housing Problem Soon Although the entire student body will be in temporary housing next semester, no laboratories or courses will be discontinued on that account, for, according to Dr. John W. Harbeson, “all work will go on just exactly the same.” However, to make it possible for business education and laboratory classes to continue, a different type of temporary housing will be used for these courses, probably frame structures. There will be no bond issue this spring, but during the coming year the people will have to decide upon the solution of this problem,” continued Dr. Harbeson. “The board of edu¬ cation is trying to work out its policies, but behind it all is the necessity for adequate funds.” Up to the present, three ideas have been proposed for considera¬ tion, if and when construction be¬ gins. The first is to remodel the present building, the least expen¬ sive method, but this would not be as satisfactory as new accommo¬ dations, of course. By the second idea, the present buildings would be razed and rebuilt, using much the same arrangement as incorpo¬ rated in the present buildings. A complete revision of the present campus plan would be effected if the third idea were carried out. It provides for .a number of smaller buildings, on the order of Pomona and Occidental campus plans. By this, buildings would be set along Colorado, but far enough back to avoid noise from the street and to afford landscape gardening. An arrangement of this kind, by which each department would be housed in a separate structure, would re¬ sult in a more collegiate campus. nite.” The floor of the Civic’s Gold room, while not generally obtain¬ able for dances, is quite large enough for the number expected to come, and, according to James Herbold, class president, is one of the best floors in this com¬ munity. The dance, which is to last from 8:30 to 12:00, is the product of several months work upon the part of Herbold and his class associates. Patrons and patronesses, select¬ ed from local faculty members, are headed by Edward Cornelison, class adviser, and Mrs. Cornelison. Oth¬ er patrons and patronesses include Dr. and Mrs. John W. Harbeson, Mr. and Mrs. James P. O’Mara, Miss Catherine J. Robbins, Miss Irma Graham, Mr. and Mrs. Rob¬ ert Hayes, Miss Gladys Lee, and Miss Ellen Denning. Bids for the affair are 50c per couple, and may be obtained from any class council member or, af¬ ter Wednesday, in the student body office. A few bids, providing there are some left, will be placed on sale at the door on Friday night. Frosh committee heads, under James Herbold’s general supervis¬ ion, are as follows: orchestra, Jane Hazenbush; floor, Bob Masoner; decorations, Billie Law; refresh¬ ments, Phil Monroe; bids, Robert Palmer; and publicity, Carter Cord- ner. Mohs Leads J. C. Concert Final Appearance Of Year Scheduled For Civic Tomorrow Eve Voting Dates Are In June With the primary elections com¬ ing June 28, and final polling due June 1, Paul Jones, chairman of the election board, announced this week the general schedule to be followed in this vote-fest. “All activity cards,” said Jones, “must be in my hands by May 21. May 23 will find posters announc¬ ing candidates on the bulletin boards. “Student body president, chief justice, and senior, junior, and sophomore representatives, as well as all A. M. S. and A. W, S. of¬ ficers, wil be elected at this vot¬ ing,” Jones stressed, “and all mem¬ bers of the associated student body are urged to vote.” Lang Librarian Talks To Local Group Miss Marian Matthews, librarian in the Los Angeles public library, was the main speaker at the regu¬ lar meeting of Sages and Dunces, May 3. Miss Matthews spoke on “Negro Contribution to Literature,” fol¬ lowing the pot-luck supper. The meeting was at the home of Miss Kathleen Cartwright, junior college student. uage Profs Offer Program The Spanish Teachers associa¬ tion of Southern California is now sponsoring a series of nightly broadcasts from 10 to 11, over sta¬ tion KFVD, and Eco de Mejico station. The association had planned for some time to present such a series, and Mary Elizabeth Davis, a mem¬ ber of the jaysee foreign language department who is now president of the organization, has arranged a very worthwhile and interesting program. Last week the program was fea¬ tured by a group of readings by Gladys M. Lee, also of the junior college language department. Miss Lee read some of the works of the eminent Chilean poet, Gabriela Mis¬ tral. KFVD operates on a fre¬ quency of 1000 kilocycles. Tomorrow evening at the Civic auditorium, the Pasadena junior college symphony orchestra will present its final concert of the 1933-34 season. “All indications point to this final concert as being the cli¬ maxing event of the present sea¬ son,” declared Milton C. Mohs, conductor of the orchestra. “After two months of faithful and careful preparation, I feel assured that the group is well able to do justice to the difficult numbers to be included in the program.” One of the highlights of the program from the point of local in¬ terest is the appearance of George Richardson, jaysee student, in George Holtermann’s ’cello classic “Conarto In A Minor.” Outstand¬ ing music critics describe Rich¬ ardson as a most brilliant and tal¬ ented musician. Sharing honors with the ’cello concert will be the imaginative symphony of Hector Berlino, “Sym- phonie Fantastique.” Two move¬ ments, entitled “The Ball” and “The March to the Gallows,” will be rendered by the orchestra. “Sakuntala Overture,” from the well known Hindu opera by Carl Goldmark, will also be feat¬ ured on the program, offering a weird, Oriental flavor. Harking back to music’s classic period, “Ariosi for Strings” will be played, lending a more stolid and majestic air, in direct contrast to the rest of the program. Tschaikowsky's stirring, martial air, “Marche Slave,” is the con¬ cluding selection. The concert will start at 8:15 p. m. with the doors opening at 7:30. There will be no admission charge. DISCUSSES PASADENA Miss Lydia Michener, secretary of the Pasadena Peace council, will discuss what is being done in Pasa¬ dena concerning world peace, at 3 o’clock today in the social hall, at the meeting of the Cosmopolitan club. Refreshments will be served. AT CLUB Fashion Show, Dancing, Music And Bridge Are Offered Dorothy Marsh, general student chairman of last night’s mother- daughter banquet, as well as to¬ morrow’s Y. W. C. A. garden fete. Daughters Entertain Mothers Noble Winner Discusses Position Of Today’s Girl In World “Girls’ knowledge of politics and current events was formerly con¬ sidered as unbecoming as exposure of ankles and arms,” said Mrs. Willard J. Stone, Noble prize win¬ ner, when she addressed guests at the annual Mother-Daughter ban¬ quet last night in the cafeteria. Complete transformation gave the cafeteria a foreign air, one of a Spanish or Mexican restaurant. Mrs. Stone, winner of the No¬ ble prize in 1933 for having per¬ formed the most valuable serv¬ ices to her city that year, con¬ tinued saying that girls now have so many opportunities to know what is happening in world affairs and do things frowned upon or prohibited to their moth¬ ers, that they should be enabled to be better citizens. She reminded the guests that, while knowledge of world affairs must not be neglected, neither should one lose sight of local situa¬ tions. “We have one of the best local governments in the United States,” said the speaker, “let us show our appreciation of this, rather than believe those complain¬ ing or working against it.” As an example, she cited the fact that the Board of Education is forced by the state to resort to use of tents, and it is up to us to support its action. Spanish sombreroes, red and white checked table cloths, cacti provided the setting for the pro¬ gram and appropriate atmos¬ phere. Mexico was featured in a Mexican national dance given in native costume by six Mexican students of Garfield school; tri¬ bute was paid to Spain in a group of Spanish songs by Miss Constance Orozco, popular vocal¬ ist of Muir Tech. The Kellogg trio, consisting of Elva Lois, Joan, and Nancy, sang popuuar songs. Marian Howell, A. W. S. execu¬ tive, presided as toastmistress at the banquet. Dorothy Marsh, general chair¬ man, was assisted in the prepara¬ tions by Mary Jean Scott, as pro¬ gram committee chairman, and Mary Cornett, in charge of the ticket sales. Miss Catherine J. Robbins, dean of women, is A. W. S. adviser. With a varied bill of entertain¬ ment including swimming stars, a fashion show, bridge, Japanese dancing, and music, final plans are being laid for the annual Y. W. C. A. garden fete, to be held to¬ morrow from 2 to 5 p. m., at the Pasadena Golf club. Edith Mountridge, Pacific Coast and far west back-stroke champion; Mary Ann Hawkins, junior national 500-yard free¬ style champion; Betty Cobb, Southern Pacific association breast stroke champion; and Ruth Nurmi, junior national 10- foot spring board champion, all of the Los Angetes Athletic club, will give an aquatic perform¬ ance. Another group of water stars, the downtown “.Y. W.” water babies, from five to eight years of age, will also take to the pool. A one-hour fashion show, to in¬ clude garments ranging from sport togs to formals, will be presented through the courtesy of F. C. Nash and Company by a group of col¬ lege co-eds. Be Baldwin, Charlotte Blackstone, Virginia Davis, Rosa de Waard, Virginia Green, Mary Beth Gunter, Jean Meffley, Vir¬ ginia Petrequin and Elizabeth Runkle will model the clothes, while Moreland Kortcamp will play during the review. Bridge will be played through¬ out the afternoon, and many prominent Pasadena women have reserved tables. Other entertain¬ ment for the affair will be violin selections by Elizabeth Morgridge, accompanied by Moreland Kort¬ camp, and a Japanese dance by (Continued to Page 5) Alpha, C.S.F. Take Holiday Casting aside their books and worries for a day, approximately 25 members of the C. S. F. and Alpha Gamma Sigma, scholarship societies, journeyed to the Santa Monica Del Mar club May 8, for their annual Play-day excursion, Swimming, beach sports, and in¬ door games were enjoyed. Pali¬ sades Park, adjoining the club, was the scene of a picnic-lunch at noon. Walter Vincenti, C. S. F. pres¬ ident; Perry Moerdyke, Alpha Gamma Sigma head, and Henry Kehler, Alpha treasurer, were in charge of the arrangements of the trip. Miss Mildred Wellborn, adviser of the two societies, Miss Sara Tal¬ bott, Latin instructor, and David Spaulding accompanied the party. PROF DOFFS COAT For the first time in thirty- seven years, R. L. Ashfey, social science head, removed his coat in class yesterday. He blamed the heat for this sudden depart¬ ure of morals, and confided to the class that proper encourage¬ ment might see the removal of a shirt in the near future. Bulldog Band To Entertain Entertainment for the monthly Junior Chamber of Commerce ban¬ quet, to be held at the Masonic Temple May 14, will be furnished by the Bulldog band. A group of novelty numbers will be presented with several new arrangements of the latest pop¬ ular tunes, being featured by the marimba duo and quartet. Several arrangements have been worked around the new time-tuned chimes, which were constructed especially for the band. OF Custom • • • • Entertainin’ Tho’ When Dorothy Briggs left her New England home and departed for Pasadena, she must have tucked a portion of the old Mas¬ sachusetts hospitality and tra¬ dition into a convenient satchel . . . and student body officers were convinced last Saturday that it was a fortunate thing that they had managed to slip past custom officials undisturbed. It seems that it is an old Mas¬ sachusetts custom, of long stand¬ ing, that lesser members of a student body, or “mere students,” often invite their officiating con¬ clave to social affairs. The ancestral policies of east¬ ern seaboard states must flour¬ ish well in California atmosphere, if the affair which Miss Briggs presented may be adjudged as any indication. Barbecued re¬ past, dancing, and bridge were in the order of the evening, and those officers who were ingen¬ ious enough to accept the invita¬ tion were thoroughly enter¬ tained.
