The Final Afternoon Production
Promises to be Best Shown
in School this Year
ADMISSION CHARGE IS 15c
“At the Sign of the Jack O’Lan-
tern” and “Beggar Maid” to
be Presented June 1st
In presenting the last afternoon en¬
tertainment of the year, Mary Marga¬
ret Ambrose, entertainment commis¬
sioner, and her committee, have secur¬
ed one of the best programs ever to
be shown in Pasadena high. With an
effort to make this final production
one to be long remembered, the com¬
mittee has spent a large sum of
money to obtain the best moving pic¬
ture film to be had.
“At the Sign of the Jack O’Lantem”
a comedy-drama, and “The Beggar
Maid,” a mythical story, are the big
features of the show. Both of these
films will be shown in P. H. S. Thurs¬
day afternoon and evening, June 1,
and will mark their first appearance in
Pasadena.
The first picture was shown at
Grauman’s theatre some time ago and
proved so popular that it remained
there three weeks. Other features of
the two performances will include an
orchestra made up of local talent.
Evening Performance
For the benefit of the parents and
general public the performance will be
repeated Thursday evening at popular
prices. Admission to the main floor
will be 35c, the balcony 25c.
In speaking of the entertainment
Miss Ambrose said, “I have been plan¬
ning a long while on this last show
under my supervision, and with the
help of Miss Munday, Miss Tennis,
and many others I feel sure that the
program we are offering will be ac¬
cepted with much enthusiasm by all
attending.”
“We are greatly endebted,” said
Miss Tennis, “to the Hodkinson Mo¬
tion Picture Corporation who have co¬
operated with us and made it possible
to show this class of films which are
so greatl yin demand.”
All the proceeds realized from this
master production will be turned over
to the student body to assist in making
up the $750 deficit, so the students are
urged by the committee to interest
their parents in coming out to the
evening performance.
CHEMISTRY COURSES WILL
BE OFFERED FOR THE
SUMMER SESSION
Affords Chance to do Half Year’s
Work in Six Weeks Inten¬
sive Course
Both first and second semester
chemistry are offered for the first
time during the summer session this
year, according to Bailey W. Howard,
head of the physical science depart¬
ment.
The beginning students will work
from 8 A. M. until 11 A. M. The first
hour will be class work and the re¬
maining two hours will be laboratory
period. The second semester group
will work in the laboratory at the
same time, from 9 until 11, having
the class period from 11 to 12. Mr.
Howard will teach the two classes.
The work as planned by Mr. How¬
ard will be very interesting. The pro¬
ject method of following up topics dis¬
cussed in class will be used. There
will be two excursions to industrial
plants that will help connect the school
work with the applied work of the in¬
dustrial world.
According to J. P. O’Mara, dean of
the summer school, it will not be pos¬
sible to give this course unless six or
more people sign up for each class.
With the distribution of May bou¬
quets May 12, every person aside from
the students in P. H. S. was remem¬
bered; teachers,, gardeners, and cafe¬
teria force, all received a little token
of appreciation for their work from
the Girls’ League.
This has been the annual custom for
years usually coming on May Day, al¬
though this year it was postponed be¬
cause of the scarcity of flowers.
Before the girls left to distribute
the flowers they all had their pictures
taken with baskets of flowers on their
arms.
This work was done under the di¬
rection of Margaret McNear, general
chairman; Betty Pease, distribution;
Allene Strubel, making; Jewel Hol-
linger, securing flowers. Ida Barnes
also deserves credit for her work.
Candy Now Being Sold on Cam¬
pus at Noon by Student
Body Officers
$100 PER WEEK IS THE AIM
Unusual Expenses and Loss of
Thanksgiving Football Game
is Cause of Deficit
Facing a financial deficit of seven
hundred and fifty dollars in the stu¬
dent body funds, the Commissioners
are endeavoring to make up the sum
before the semester ends. In an effort
to raise a hundred dollars a week
candy booths have been installed in
the cafeteria, pergola, bookstore and
in the front drive way to supply the
candy eaters.
Since so many of the students buy
their sweets across the street the
Commissioners are appealing to both
the faculty and students to buy candy
from them, thus assisting the student
body to climb out of debt.
“Never has a body of Commission¬
ers in Pasadena high faced such a
problem before,” said J. A. Anderson,
head of the Commercial department,
“and never have we had a body of
Commissioners so anxious to pull the
school out of debt. They should be
commended for this.”
The debt was caused by several un-
forseen happenings. One big expense
was due to the many football men Who
were injured during practice; another
to the New Year’s float, which took
$250. By not having the Long Beach-
Pasadena football game a full $1,000
was not received which had always
been used in the past.
Only once in the history of Pasa¬
dena high school has a debt been left
over tv the following year and in or¬
der to keep up this record it is the
duty and pleasure of every P. H. S.
student to buy his candy from the
student body counters.
: OCCIDENT ALITES ENTER¬
TAINED BY PASADENA
Not only do colleges display their
superior talent in high school assem¬
blies, but high school students some¬
times journey to colleges also, to en¬
tertain the students there, as was
| shown by the fact that a number of
! girls and boys from P. H. S. appeared
| at an assembly at Occidental College
last Tuesday. The program consisted
| of vocal solos, instrumental numbers,
readings and speeches.
Wm. F. Ewing and Verner Olson
spoke on “Pasadena.” The other Pas¬
adenans were Mary Tyner, Helen
Spalding, Marguerite Covert, Joe
Ware, Ted Novis, Clarence Mader, and
Hubert Baker.
After the assembly the visitors
made a tour of the entire campus.

STOCK JUDGERS OF P. H. S.
PREPARE FOR SO. CAL.
CONTEST TOMORROW _
Trips are Made to Ranches Dur¬
ing the Last Two Weeks by
Prospective Teams
Under the supervision of Wilbur S.
Coke, head of Annimal Husbandry in
the Agricultural department, fifteen
boys recently visited the El Mirador
Dairy for the purpose of judging
stock on that ranch.
This trip was to train the boys in
actual stock , judging, in preparation
for the Southern California contest to
be held at Chaffee Union High to¬
morrow. After the judging had been
completed, in which R. Hawkins, E.
Taylor, C. Correy, and R. Lindholm
took 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places re¬
spectively, the students were treated
to some real ice cream and cake by J.
D. Hoffman, owner of the dairy.
The boys who are trying to make
the team that is to go to Chaffee
Union, took two other trips besides
the one to El Mirado. These were to
the Anita Baldwin Ranch, and to the
La Vina Ranch on North Lincoln ave¬
nue. They had experience with horses
and hogs at these two places. Mr.
Coke stated, “The owners of the
neighboring ranches and dairies are
very kind in letting our boys visit
their ranches, and gain experience in
judging their stock, and we appreciate
it very much.”
RECITAL ON FAMOUS
ARTIST IS ENJOYED
“Sir Joshua Reynolds and His
Friends” was the title of a delightful
and interesting talk given by Miss
Virginia E. Graeff and illustrated with
lantern slides in the auditorium on
Wednesday.
The pictures reproduced on the
screen showed some of this great art¬
ists finest portraits and gave a
glimpse into 18th century life in Eng¬
land and showed the famous men and
women of Reynolds’ day. The child¬
ren’s portraits were of special interest
— happy studies in child life giving
the quaint costumes of the day as
worn by “The Strawberry Girl,” “Miss
Penelope Boothby,” “The Age of Inno¬
cence” and many others.
The stories told about Sir Joshua
and his child letters were of great in¬
terest and seemed to be enjoyed by the
young people and their elders who
made up the audience. The recital
for ijext Wednesday will be on the life
of Mozart.

EXAMINATION APPLICA¬
TIONS MUST BE OB¬
TAINED THIS WEEK
Application Must be Filled Out
Now in Order to get East
By May 20th
The last chance for college appli¬
cations is to be had this week accord¬
ing to H. T. Cliffton, P. H. S. regis¬
trar, as the applications must be in
New York by the twentieth of this
month.
Examinations for any college that
requires them will be given at U. S.
C. this summer. These colleges ask
that the examinations be taken at any
of the points held by the College En¬
trance Examination Board during the
summer as it reduces confusion at the
colleges themselves.
Mr. Clifton also announces that the
Caltech catalogue for this year is here.
He says' that there were no radical
changes in requirements but that sev¬
eral graduate courses have been added
which will be of interest to the science
teachers.
Practically all the catalogues are
now here and anyone wishing to find
out about the college he prefers, may
do so by getting that catalogue in the
library.
GIRLS’ LEAGUE MAY
FETE Fill Of FUR,
COLOR, Hi GAIETY
Charming Picture is Presented
by Girls in Civics and But¬
terfly Mascots
HELD ON THE FRONT LAWN
Splendid Program Given of the
Girls, by the Girls, for the
Girls is Huge Success
A day of color, music, and gaiety
was yesterday, the, day of the Annual
Girls’ League May-fete. To begin
with, every girl wore civies and a big,
bright butterfly as mascot. At 3:30
a grandmarch to the front lawn was
to take place to the strains of some
liveyl jazz by Gregory Lawrence, Paul
LaShelle, Merle Carlson, and Bob Cut¬
ter, but owing to the rain the program
was held in the auditorium.
A short program of the girls, by the
girls and for the girls of P. H. S. fol¬
lowed. There was a duet by Lois
Bowers and Katherine Campbell; a
whistling solo by Bertha Fuller; a
reading by Harriet Earns, a piano solo
by Mildred Brockway; and a series of
twin stunts. The Ryden and Bardell
twins did a doll dance, the Tomingas
twins, in Russian costume, sang a
song; and the Alcom twins did a clev¬
er little mirror stunt. May-day girls
in dainty aprons served refreshments,
and after they had patiently carried
ice-cream to the whole Girls’ League,
each member was given a piece of
birthday cake.
The general chairman of the enter¬
tainment, which is in Norma Simank’s
department, is Marguerite Lind. Har¬
riet Ubil had charge of the decora¬
tions; Melda Platt of the favors, Iola
Barnes of the refreshments, and Beth¬
any Hahn of the cleanup. The Boys’
League helped by blowing up the bal¬
loon and by carrying chairs.
Mr. Long, of Long’s Music House,
gave the Girls’ League the use of a
piano for the occasion.
OCCIDENTAL HAS CHARGE
OF THURSDAY ASSEMBLY
In last Thursday’s Junior-Senior as¬
sembly the glee clubs of Occidental
College were the main feature of in¬
terest. Both the Men’s Glee Club and
the Women’s Glee Club were present
giving some very interesting and also
humerous selections.
Besides the songs and a musical
quartette, Dr. Remsen Dubois Bird,
president of Oxy, “Porky” Jacobson,
P. H. S. ’21, and Annie Wilson, P. H.
S. T9, gave short talks telling of the
school spirit and opportunity afforded
by “Oxy” and inviting the students of
P. H. S. to come out to see the college.
Several members of the Glee Clubs
are P. H. S. alumni.
"DADDY LONG LEGS”
SENIOR GLASS PLAY
READY NEXT WEEK
Production Under Direction of
Miss Elizabeth Keppie
and Class Adviser
ARE YOU SAVING MAY 26th?
Cast Includes the Best Talent to
Be Found in the Entire
Senior Class
As a result of many weeks of hard
practice, the cast of the Senior play is
able to announce that they are well
prepared for the production which will
be given next Friday evening, May 26.
Acco/iing to the play committee,1
there are two reasons why it should be
very successful.
Play Itself is Great
First, the play itself was written by
Jean Webster, one of the best women
authors. Daddy Long Legs,” one of
the most popular works, first appeared
serially in the Ladies Home Journal.
It then came out in book form, and
later was dramatized. As a play it
has been well received in all the large
cities in the country.
In addition to this, the cast is being
coached by Miss Elizabeth Keppie,
who was responsible for much of the
success of the Junior play “Clarence.”
With this cast, which is composed of
some of the most able members of the
class, Miss Keppie is sure of having
even greater success.
Exceptionally Strong Cast
Each member of the cast is partic¬
ularly well fitted for the part he or
she is to take. Several had parts in
“Merely Mary Ann,” the play present¬
ed by the class of ’22 last year. Many
other members have had special train¬
ing in either public speaking or dra¬
matic work.
Henry Hartman, publicity chair¬
man, says that the stage settings will
be really good — not like the ordinary
high school play setting. In order to
get first what they wanted, the stage
committee went to Los Angeles to get
the setting for two of the acts. They
assert that these properties will add
much to the charm of the play.
Marius Kehlet, ticket manager, an¬
nounces that the tickets may now be
obtained at any time. They are thirty-
five, fifty, and seventy-five cents
“Dady Long Legs” will be the last
dramatic production put on this year
at P. H. S. The Senior play is always
one of the best events of the year and
! those connected with it this year de~
I dare it even better than usual.
“SILVER THREAD TO BE
PRESENTED BY PLAYERS
As their eighth monthly production,
the Junior Players will present “The
Silver Thread,” at the Shakespeare
Clubhouse, Saturday, May 20. The
cast, under the direction of Miss Sybil
Eliza Jones, has been working faith¬
fully for three weeks to make the play
a success. The plot is based on a
fairy tale of the same name and will
be interesting to everyone.
Several P. H. S. students are in the
cast. These are: Jacintha W right,
Cubert a miner’s lad; Pauline Chap¬
man, Cubert’s mother; Grace Tomp¬
kins, the old woman from beyond the
hills; Edwin Sweeting, king of the
earth dwellers, and also one of the
palace guards; and Dorothy Wood,
Mabina, the nurse of the little prin¬
cess.
“ORDER OF GREGG ARTISTS
RECEIVE CERTIFICATES
FROM MR. GREGG
Every member of the “Order of
Gregg Artists,” has received a certifi¬
cate for work sent to John R. Gregg,
originator of the Gregg system of
shorthand. He was well pleased with
the work sent from Pi. H. S.
The “Order of Gregg Artists” is the
official name of a class which is other¬
wise known as “rush shorthand.” The
rush short-hand class is under the di¬
rection of Miss Suzanna Thomas,
member of the commerce department.
Besides receiving a certificate, Hilda
Nichols, a member of the class, was
given a bronz pin which Mr. Gregg
awards for very superior work only.
