School Dismissed At 3 o’Clock For OMD Assembly
Coviello and OMD’ers Sell;
Stamp Receipts Mounting
Yesterday morning OMD stamp and bond receipts had
reached a total of $2,438.10 in their vigorous two-day War
Bond Campaign. Lucille Coviello, stamp-sale chairman, grin¬
ned happily as she added up sales totals; confidently expressed
the thought that sales could be easily doubled by Friday aft¬
ernoon’s assembly. “I want to thank the members of OMD who
have spent such long hours at the booth upstairs. We have
certainly gotten whole-hearted co¬
operation,” she added.
Climax of the drive will be the
full-length preview of “White
Cliffs of Dover,” starring Irene
Dunne and Alan Marshal, and
the personal appearance of Spen¬
cer Tracy, twice Academy Award
winner.
Admission to the assembly
will be by identification card
only. Student tickets issued this
week for reserved seats as well
as admission are invalid due to
last minute legal complications
from M.G.M. School will be
dismissed at three o’clock and
PJC students only will l)e ad¬
mitted.
This is the first major project
of the top honorary club. Active
OMD’ers include Ruth Cham¬
plain, president, Margaret Archi¬
bald, Don Wadell, Barbara Tur¬
ner, Ann Abrahamson, Barbara
Bulgey, Lucille Coviello, Janet
Frayne, Priscilla Hannah, Julia
Henning, Kathryn Howett, Allan
McLeod, Francis Robertson, and
Bill Sanborn.

LUCILLE COVIELLO
. . . adds up totals
ting his Chronicle, no matter
where he may be.
If you could read as many
letters as I do every week in
preparing my servicemen’s let¬
ters column, you would soon
realize how much those papers
come to mean to the the fel¬
lows far and near. People have
accused me of choosing those
letters which sing the praises
of the Chronicle, but this is not
the truth. Almost every letter
has a word of thanks some¬
where in it. Many kids go to
the trouble to write their
change of address. To a man in
the service who has little
enough time to himself, the
Chron must be important for
him to take a part of that time
to write.
I’m not asking you to go out
to the student union and buy a
year’s mailing subscription to
the Chron for some man or wom¬
an in the service — it’s your duty.
It’s the guy who sat next to you
in class last year, or belonged to
your club, or said “hello” with
that bright smile. If you have
any doubts, just dig out your
copy of last week’s Chron with
the picture of the fellow in India
reading his school paper. Read
his letter where he tells about
fellows who have never seen
Pasadena reading the Chron
from cover to cover simply be¬
cause it brings them a little
closer to home. After that, if
you can think of one good legi¬
timate reason why you can’t dig
up a dollar, you’re not a good
American.
That dollar subscription can
be earmarked for your favorite
fellow in service or, if you pre¬
fer, will be sent to some guy all
ready on the mailing list. Come
on, dig down! That warm feel¬
ing you’ll get is worth a lot
more than a dollar.

Appeal Made For Funds
To Mail Servicemen Chrons
By FRANK McCORMACK
Because of the ever-growing demand for Chrons to be
mailed to former PJC students, now in service, a special mail¬
ing fund has been set up. Over fifteen hundred servicemen
and women are on the mailing list. The papers are mailed
every other week at a cost of seventy-five dollars per mailing.
The reason for the high cost is that each paper is sent first
class to insure the receiver of get-

Vandalism Aired
ByStudentBoard
At yesterday’s meeting of the
Board of Representatives chief is¬
sue of discussion was vandalism
against other schools.
The. case in question was a
complaint from South Pasadena
concerning the painting of ‘PJC’
on the high school administra¬
tion building and auditorium last
spring. According to precedent
the guilty school pays for such
acts of vandalism. The PJC board
was undecided as to whether the
malefactors were student body
members, but decided to pay the
damages — $11.47 — in the interest
of goodwill. The Board also went
on record as opposing such com¬
mitments in the future.
The Board also discussed the
proposed faculty award to be giv¬
en the teacher selected by stu¬
dents as “most helpful”. It was
voted that this award should be
an engraved silver loving cup.
