Players’ Guild Will Stage
Seventh Annual Play
At Marshall
Amid an air of mystery and
romance, the Players’ Guild will
present “The Black Flamingo,” by
Sam Jenney, the seventh annual
production, ,at the John Marshall
junior high school auditorium on
May 18. 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.
Miss Elizabeth E. Keppie, dra¬
matic instructor, is directing
the play, with the assistance of
Judith Gibson and Nelda Miller.
Bill O. Paine is head of the
stage crew. James Williams is
chairman of the business com¬
mittee, and Pauline Stevens of
the stage committee.
The costume committee in¬
cludes Betty Brunner, Betty
Lawyer and Grace Archer.
The school orchestra, under the
direction of Milton Mohs, will be
included in the program.
Student body activity tickets
will admit students to the perform¬
ance. All other tickets will be 35
cents, and only those will be in the
reserved section.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
