Assembly Is
Held Friday
Five acts of vaudeville, secured
from Bert Levi’s circuit, were the
features of the entertainment in
the weekly assembly held last Fri¬
day, in the men’s gym. “The as¬
sembly was quite a success, judg¬
ing from the reception of the pro¬
gram by the students,” said Charles
Braden, secretary of activities.
“Auburn and Dodge,” roller
skaters, were the first act on the
program. Next was a duet sung
by Cowboy “Bean-hole” Gray and
his pet coyote. “Bean-hole” .also
entertained with knife throwing
and whip lashing; cutting a piece
of paper from an assistant’s
mouth in these latter stunts.
“Boberino and Her Pals” did an
act of dancing and acrobatics. The
pals were three trained pomeran-
ians. The '“Johnson Brothers,” a
juggling team, were next on the
program, tossing as many as eight
Indian clubs back and forth be- i
tween themselves.
The program was closed by a
magician whose act featured the
disappearance of a glass of water
and a bird cage. Bauble and Bells,
dramatic club, were also on the
program, presenting a short adver¬
tising skit for last Friday’s per¬
formance of “The Whiteheaded
Boy.”
In announcing pla,ns for future
assemblies, Braden said that the
primary election assembly would be
May 22. The final assembly of the
year will feature a concert of the
Bulldog band. I

' Whiteheaded Boy’ Is Given
Capably, Says Drama Critic
By Emily llchiyama
A bit of Irish theatrical lore provided the theme for the annual
Bauble and Bells play, “The White Headed Boy," which was pre¬
sented last Friday evening at the John Marshall junior high school
auditorium. This three-act comedy-” — -
by Lennox Robinson showed the
rebellion of the Geoghegan family
against the sacrifices they had
made to educate the pet of the
family, Denis, capably played by
Harold Landon.
Using the Irish dialect, excellent
characterizations were presented
in a realistic atmosphere. Rosalie
Meub, who enacted the part of
Mrs. Geoghegan, was very effective
atmosphere. I was greatly im¬
pressed by the favorable reception
given the play by the student
body.” Assisting Miss Ivester with
the production were Miss Jean
McCrae, assistant director; Stanley
McDonald, business manager; Jack
Farnsworth, stage manager; and
William 0. Payne, technical direc¬
tor.

Late Bulletin
The proposition put before the Los Angeles County Board of

hope by the sponosrs that the band will make the trip via the Texas

Class In Technique And
Production First In
Country
Definite plans are now well under
way for the formation of the pro¬
posed course in radio technique and
production, which will be open to
enrollment for next semester, ac¬
cording to Dr. Glenn L. Lembke,
counselor here.
The course, the first of its kind
to be instituted in any junior col¬
lege in the United States, has been
created following the increasing
demand on the part of the students
for training in the new fields of
work which radio has opened to
graduates.
Approved by John A. Sexson, su¬
perintendent of schools 'for the
city, enrollment will start soon for
the course to be offered next se¬
mester.
Students, besides learning the
fundamentals of production and
technique, will be given actual con¬
tacts with their own fields of work
in radio through broadcasts, which
will be given over the KNX remote
control unit in the Civic auditor¬
ium, according to Dr. Lembke.
“However, for the benefit of the
student planning to enroll in the
course, it should be said that a
specified amount of preliminary
training in the lower division in
the fundamentals of the type of
radio work in which the student
wishes' to participate must be ob¬
tained. The student should have
a solid foundation in the field of
radio which he plans to work in.
These preliminary courses will be
offered on the regular curriculum
in the lower division,” he said.
Also under the counselors’ dis¬
cussion at the present time is the
question of the amount of talent
which radio will be able to absorb.
With this in view, the courses are
being arranged so that the student
may, if necessary, switch to some
other field.
CLASSES SHOWN
NEW STRUCTURE
During excursions to the Griffith
Park Planetarium, the physical sci¬
ence survey classes have, for the

of the Griffith park area, a model
seismograph and exhibits of spec¬
trum analysis were also shown

Climaxing a year of W. A. A.
activity, Eugenia Sanders, presi¬
dent, and her committees are mak¬
ing plans for the annual banquet,
which is scheduled for the evening
of May 21, at the University club.
It is at this formal banquet that
all the higher awards of the year
are presented, including new mem¬
bers of the Big “P” club, gold “P”
pins, blankets and the much-looked-
forward-to loving cup, which goes
to the high point graduating sen¬
ior, according to Miss Sanders.
Committee Plans
Ruth Willard and her decorating
committee have ‘made plans for
decorations, with potted flowers as
the outstanding feature. Favors

With the official invitation from Olympic headquarters already in
the hands of local officials, all that is needed, save financial assurance,
is set to send the Bulldog band, composed of 85 picked members of
the 150-man local music organization, to the celebration of the 11th
Olympiad in Berlin, as the only non-German band.
* While only half of the necessary
| forty thousand dollars needed to
send the group abroad had been
raised at the time the paper dead¬
line fell, chances that the addition¬
al twenty thousand would be se¬
cured in time to assure the trip

resentative of the American Insti¬
tute of Educational Travel.
Committee Named
A committee of Pasadenans com-

Chamber of Commerce, Cliff Ken¬
worthy, president of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce, Cyril Ben-
net, president of the Tournament
of Roses association, a representa¬
tive of the Institute for Educa¬
tional Travel, and A. I. Stewart,
vice-chairman of the Board of Di¬
rectors, presented the plan to the
meeting of the Los Angeles County
Supervisors, yesterday, and re¬
quested financial aid. It is hoped
that one-fourth of the additional
money needed will be given by the
county.
At a recent meeting of the Pasa¬
dena city Board of Directors, moral
support of the project was given
and plans for raising the money
were discussed.
If the trip is made, not only will
the band play in Berlin, but also
in the principal cities en route.
Pasadena in this way, is offered
the opportunity of making a ges¬

as internationally.
Local Interest Sought
If this happens, the other fourth
will be requested of Pasadena or¬
ganizations interested in the pro¬
ject. Because of the decided ad¬
vantage to Pasadena in having the
band known as the Tournament of
Roses band, it is hoped that Pasa¬
dena will not let the sponsorship of
the trip go outside of the city; for
if so the band could not go under
that name.
The 85 members who will go on
the trip will be chosen from the
roster of the entire band of ap-
