Student Body Awaits Friday
Vote, Concession Income to
Eve Festival;
Flelp Causes
Awaiting an exciting Friday evening of carnival, dancing, gaiety
and romance, student body members all this week continued voting
for their favorite OMD queen candidate who is to be crowned that
evening with suitable ceremonies.
From 8 p. m. when the affair gets under way, the flood-lighted
area around the famed PJC mirror pools will be the scene of the
many campus club concessions operated for the benefit of milling
participants in the Spanish themed event.
Dancing, Entertainment on Calendar
Dancing, carnival fun, special entertainment and singing will'
fill out the evening’s time until the moment for the coronation is
reached.
As OMD members all this week perfected plans for the
festival and tabulated votes, campaign managers for the four
queen candidates flooded the campus with publicity seeking
support for their girls and cause. The four gals and the group
sponsoring them are as follows: Jean Dor land, X-ANM; Barbara
Musacchia, women’s sports; Claire Steinbaugh, music depart¬
ment; and Jane Wesley, student body board and cabinet.
Selling of votes is proceeding at five votes for a nickel. The
booth and ballot box are located in the front hall of the C building.
To be revealed and crowned also this Friday, the top man in
the World Student Service Fund drive sponsored by the SCA, will
be named. He will be one of the following: Hank Compton, Tom
Horn, Dick Maitland and Don Rector. Voting in this contest closed
last Wednesday with the Ace unannounced.
Money “put” on a favorite candidate will automatically
benefit the cause for which she stands. After the festival, all
profits from the voting and concessions will be apportioned to
these causes on the basis of the number of votes for each can¬
didate. Causes are listed below.
Jean Dorland, X-ANM candidate, stands for the veteran’s loan
fund. Administrated by Mr. Ralph Bush, the fund helps service
men whose allotment checks have not arrived.
Barbara Musacchia, women sports choice, represents the PJC
welfare fund. This fund helps needy students needing monev to
complete their education at PJC.
Claire Steinbaugh, music department, is hoping to raise money
for a fund which was relatively inactive during the war. This is the
scholarship loan fund which assists 14th year graduates start uni¬
versity. i
Jane Wesley, student government, stands for a fund to furnish
the war memorial room to be built into the new student union. Work
on the building, to be erected just west of the D building, is scheduled
to start this summer.
A Substitute for Traditional Carnival
Shortages of foodstuffs and building materials prevented OMD
from this year reviving their Spring Carnival which was discontinued
with the war. In previous years the carnival was held on the tennis
courts and were immensely successful. The order hopes that the
complete carnival with all the trimmings may be held next year.
Jean
Jean Dorland began life at the
Alhambra Hospital and from then
on maintained permanent head¬
quarters at the family home in
South Pasadena. Her next great
move in her life will take place
June 18, when Jean changes
quarters to those selected by
Iowa State’s Bill Rath.
She first met Bill while in the
Navy. But several events came
before that. First, for example,
she joined the glee club in junior
high; second, she joined the ra¬
dio group in senior high; third,
she participated in a KPPC pro¬
gram every Wednesday from PJC
(pre-war). Then she joined the
United States Navy, not to be dis¬
charged until last Christmas.
In July 1943, she was a “boot”
at Hunter College in New York
and went on to fivei gruesome
months at Miami University in
Ohio, there mastering the tech¬
nique of being a third class petty
officer and a navy raduoman.
Barbara
Famous among her colleagues
on the sports field for her sense
of the humorous and entertain¬
ing ways is Barbara Musacchia,
the Women’s Athletic Associa¬
tion’s candidate for OMD queen.
Barbara Leona, or “B. L.” has
been active in the WAA since her
arrival from Eliot Junior High
school, in January of ’44. Since
then she has pledged the honor¬
ary Women’s Letter Club, and
L’Amitie restrictive club.
A very talented girl musically,
BL is an accomplished pianist in
the Gracie Allen one-finger con¬
cert style; she also sings. Her
main hobby is collecting sailors,
especially the one who has con¬
sented to be Mr. Barbara Musa¬
cchia, signalman Jack Chell.
BL’s boundless energies are
now devoted to learning the fine
art of cooking and knitting for
the Navy. As a member of the
Pasadena Royal Blades, she is a
well-known caper cutter at the ice
rink.
Claire
If you see a good looking blue
eyed blonde with one of those lus¬
cious all-year tans wondering a-
bout the halls it just could be
popular Claire Steinbaugh.
Claire thinks it’s wonderful
that the music organizations are
supporting her for queen of the
OMD Spring Festival and hopes
that students will contribute
much to the PJC scholarship fund
her particular cause.
A graduate of Alhambra High
where she was Girls’ League
president (AWS prexy to you),
Claire has gone far in her one
year at PJC. An active member
of the Hi-Liters, Nysaean Sing¬
ers, Alphometa restrictive club,
and a veteran of one Crafty Hall,
she is now deep in rehearsal for
Fantasy in Wonderland.
High on her list of likes are
the ballad Laughing on the Out¬
side, Crying on the Inside, lamb
chops, baseball, The Warsaw Con¬
certo, dancing and dependable
men.
Jane
Jane Wesley is the tali, viva¬
cious brunette with the charming
personality who is seen active
about school. Last semester she
was secretary of activities. Jane
has worked several semesters on
Crafty Hall, and has a part in
Fantasy in Wonderland, this
spring’s OMD production.
A charter member, she is very
active in Hi-Liters in which she
serves as a hostess.
Jane is majoring in child dev¬
elopment and perhaps will go in¬
to nursery work. She has no def¬
inite plans, but we hope she
chooses this field because she
has a knack for handling chil¬
dren.
A large record collection rang¬
ing from modern to classical is
her hobby. She is a member of
Sorelle restrictive club.
A 13-2, she has one more year
at PJC. Her warm, hospitable,
friendly personality is her great
est asset.
