An unfortunate event has been
added to the history of the high
school class of 1928 with the death
of Elwood Cronk, who was a
graduating member. The students
wish to express their sympathy to
Mr.' and Mrs. F. J. Cronk.
Springing up out of the primary
issue of union has come the now
important question of government,
which promises to hold the spot¬
light and be considered the only
thing to be decided at next Mon¬
day’s election. The important
issue at hand, however, is still the
question of union, and that any
other be emphasized at its expense
is unwise. Without union, the
question of government means
nothing. ■
* * *
Judging from the result of the
straw votes taken during the last
two weeks, there is little doubt
that union will be effected. The
last vote taken, of five hundred
high school and Junior college
students picked at random, only
seventeen percent voted against
the proposition. A similar con¬
dition existed at the second period
class representative meeting, where
an almost unanimous approval
of amalgamation was reported.
* * *
If it is the will of the majority
of students, then, that the issue
be carried, it is up to those same
students to support the measure
by voting.
* * *
Having been in close contact with
every school activity throughout
the year, and being especially well
posted upon the work of the stu¬
dent leaders during the last few
weeks, I can well understand many
of the problems, the achievements,
and the failings of our institution.
The commissioners in the high
school have done very well this
year as far as fulfilling the duties
demanded in the constitution is
concerned, but as for accomplish¬
ments, I can see only a few things
that have been done.
■s * *
Club assemblies have been a
success, the condition of the stu¬
dent body finances is improving,
and a fine system of handling ad¬
vertising has been introduced.
These I would count as achieve¬
ments, but there are no others
that I can recall at this time.
* * *
In all of this there is no mali¬
cious nor personal critisism, for
I will say that considering the
conditions of the present form of
government, every commissioner
has carried out the work to the
best of his ability. My personal
contact has shown me that we I
have a group of hard working
“The Stubbornness of Geral¬
dine,” which is to be given by the
senior class on June 12 and 13 at
the Marshall junior high school
auditorium, is expected by those
directing and supervising to be one
of the best high school dramatic
attempts made in Southern Cali¬
fornia this year.
Among the members of the class
are Dorothy Secrest, who plays the
title role of Geraldine; John Dean
1 as the leading male role, and Rus-
I sel Forsythe and Mary Wark in
less important parts. All of those
members of the cast have had con¬
siderable experience as high school
actors.
Sale of tickets is expected to be¬

ervations are being made by
nearly ail of the school organiza¬
tions. Seats also have been or¬
dered by Willies Lang, popular
head of the 1928 yearbook.

If the Occidental College pro¬

was meant to attract Pasadena
high school students to Oxy, it
will in all probability be the cause
for a large Pasadena representa¬

pep, music, and humor character¬
ized the program which was handl¬
ed by Kenneth Holland, president
of the Oxy student body, and
James Bone, editor of the “Tawny

A little playlet entitled “Between

man and Princess Booth, illustrat¬
ing the trials of the love-lorn
and their reconciliations.
Several numbers were played by
Joe Goose and his Goslings, in¬
cluding “Dream Kisses”, and
“Changes”.
The program was effectually

majority in the student bodies will
be necessary to bring about the
union. Due to lack of time the
constitution of the succesful type
of government will take effect as
is published in this issue of the
paper.
In elections, which will bo held
separately though almost simul¬
taneously, the high school voting in
the advisory rooms and the junior
college as usual in booths in the
student body office, the students
will be asked to make a decision
upon three propositions, which will

Letter ; taken by the “Times” last Friday
high school and junior college;-
while plan two provides for repre-'
sentative form of government.
By far the most important of
the three is the question of union.
Should union fail to pass the vote
on the type of government will be
meaningless. If results of a poll

Ilus Lane, president of the jun- cast> sentiment
ior college student body during the Among tim reasons
last semester, and who is now
attending the University of Cali¬
fornia at Los Angeles, has sent a
letter to the students of the junior
college, through Chris Daniels, in
a plea to keep the institution sep¬
arate from the high school. His
letter follows: :
May 14, 1928.
Dear Chris:
Unless I have completely over¬
rated the intelligence of the in¬
mates of the old institution there
will be little doubt as to their de¬
cision in the matter — if they are
permitted to make one. My rea-
500 votes were
favors union..
which have
been cited by those in favor union
is that union eventually is in¬
evitable and for that reason the
sooner that union is brought
about the better. Those few
who disapprove of union seem to
do it generally on the grounds
that delay will make union
easier.
Commission Type
Briefly stated, the govern¬
ment which is provided for by
plan one will be a commission
type of government in which the
students will elect a board of
commissioners theoretically rep¬
resenting- the various activities of
sons for being opposed to the union | the school. These commissioners
will not take long to state. Prob- j wi|1 be: a President o£ the Stu-

a commiss;oner of re¬

of publicity, a commissioner of
thought of them.
Reasons Given
1. There will be two separate
athletic conferences. No student
body has the time to support the
grand jumble of activities that will
result.
2. The effort during the past few
years has been to prepare the men
and women of junior college for
upper division standing, scholasti¬
cally and socially, in the univer--
sities. The effort has been par¬
tially successful in spite of opposi¬
tion. To go back and try to
assimilate hundreds of unregen¬
erate high school people would be
too much for the digestion. The few
privileges that junior college has,
and that the high school does not 1
have, would be gone.

forensics, a commissioner of activ¬
ities, a commissioner of athletics,
a commissioner of associated wo¬
men, and a commissioner of men.
Besides the board of commissioner
a chief justice of the Student
Court will also be elected. The
president is to have general
supervision of the student activi¬
ties corresponding to their offices.
The chief justice will preside at
meetings of the court. In addi¬
tion to the elective officers there
will be four associate justices,
named by the board of represent¬
atives and subject to removal by
the board.
