Eleventh Annual Mast, Dagger Carnival
Slated For Tonight As Tennis Courts
Are Converted Into Temporary Toyland
- - ♦ - -
By Howard Steinwinter
Shedding the cocoon of dusty, wind-swept, ble ak barrenness, Pasadena's junior college campus will
tonight don her fairest garments, to become a fairyland of fantasy, a mystic realm of unbelievability,
of mirth, music, laughter and enjoyment, as “Toyland,” theme of the Eleventh Annual Mast and Dag¬
ger carnival, and Barbara Bennett, queen of the gala event, reign supreme over three thousand fun-
loving Crown City inhabitants. A premature glimpse of what this year’s carnival promises, was given
'to hundreds of expectant Pasadenans, by means of yesterday’s banner¬
streaming parade.
One of seven girls to gain the finals, including Betty Moshisky,
Lorraine Greth, Evelyn Calvert, Frances Dunham, Severine Callahan
and Barbara Hamm, who were chosen from approximately a hundred
candidates, Barbara Bennett was chosen winner over the six other
girls in the final round. Judges for the queen included A. M. Wede-
meyer, G. E. Cline and N. F. Stirling of the faculty, besides Mast
and Dagger members.
“Credit for this carnival, which will certainly rank with all previ¬
ous ones, must go to Mast and Dagger members, who have worked
long and arduously in preparing for the event. I wish to invite every¬
one to attend this evening,” said Jim Mathews, president of the hon¬
orary club.
Judging for the floats in the parade took place yesterday, with
the winner being made public tonight. This afternoon, from 1 to 2:30,
before the gates open at 3 o’clock, judging for the most attractive
booth will be made with all participants required to be in costume.
Prizes are being given for both parade winners and carnival vic¬
tors. Parade prizes include $15 for the club winning the sweepstakes
award and $10 to the club whose float takes first place honors. Car¬
nival prizes are $15 to the club making the most sales and $10 to the
club whose booth most appropriately depicts the theme of "Toyland."
Judges for both parade and booths are C. Elmer Anderson, Eloise
Jones, Pat Paddock, Mr. Wedemeyer, Mr. Cline, Cyril Bennett and
Jim Mathews.
Coronation of the queen, which will be patterned after the “Wed¬
ding of the Painted Dolls," will take place this evening. Also during
'the evening the giving of a Pack-
ard-Bell radio as a door prize will
be decided by the spin of a wheel.
Symphony Due
In Assembly
This morning’s assembly on the
Horrell field bleachers will feature
the music of the Pasadena junior
college symphony orchestra, under
the direction of Milton C. Mohs,
according to Bob Stapleton, secre¬
tary of activities, who is in charge
of all assembly programs.
The orchestra will play a group
of popular selections, and will not
render any classical music, accord¬
ing to the secretary.
Next Friday’s assembly will fea¬
ture the appearance of Ted Fio
Rito and several of his entertain¬
ers, and possibly the appearance
of Andy Devine, famous Hollywood
actor. Besides the scheduled ap¬
pearances of the guest stars, the
meeting will present the candidates
for office in the coming election,
and each will be introduced to the
assembled student body for recog¬
nition.
“We expect that this will be one
of our most popular assemblies of
the school year, and have endeav¬
ored to obtain topnotch entertain¬
ment for the enjoyment of the stu¬
dent body,” said Stapleton con¬
cerning next week’s gathering.
