Mardi Gras
The arrival of 350 bids to the
earthquake relief dance to be held
in the Los Angeles Shrine auditor¬
ium, June 9, was announced, today
by Ben Berning, student body
president, and Virginia Keim, A.
W. S. president.
“This dance is for assistance to
the student bodies of the Compton
and Long Beach junior colleges,
who were greatly disturbed and
disrupted by the recent earth¬
quake. All of the Southern Cali¬
fornia jaysees are combining ef¬
forts to make this a huge success
and, to assist the schools less for¬
tunate than ourselves in this time
of need,” said Berning. At a meet¬
ing held recently in Compton, Wal¬
ter Prill of Compton and Art Rene
of Long Beach were appointed as
chairmen of the program to be pre¬
sented.
Bids are 50 cents a couple, and
the d,ance music will be provided by
Everett Hoagland’s orchestra. The
schools are each to appoint a busi¬
ness manager and publicity man,
who have not been announced as
yet. Tickets will be on sale in the
student body office until they are
all sold, according to Virginia
Keim.

“Democracy, all that is worth

success. Realize, appreciate, and

Spirit Visits
J.C. Campus
By A. Margie Flynn
Gunaike’s colorful float of the
colder regions, the Carnival parade’s
first prize winner for the second
consecutive year in the ballyhoo
procession around the front drive,
yesterday put P. J. C. in the mardi
gras spirit for tonight.
A mock polar bear on the hood,
snow covered auto and the girls in
red and white costumes with red
and white balloons won the judges’
decision of 20 points.
Clowns in brightly colored suits
bobbed all over Adelphotes float
bringing them second prize, and 12
points.
Pamphile and XXVI club tied
for third place; each rating seven
points. Pamphiles clowns vied with
autos of questionable vintage that
backfired and sputtered their way
around, the school.
Cavorting on the front lawn be¬
fore the student body is enough to
injure anyone’s pride, but D. S. R.
pledges clad in flannels took it
calmly. Elmer Morton, jaysee’s
880 pride, displayed his track abil¬
ity clad in red flannels and topper.
Beer mugs and Victorian flounces,
painted noses and, Coney Island
banners; following streamers and
Ben Berning, student body president
showing skill in the manipulation
of a one-wheeled bike added to the
excitment of carnival time.
Judges of the occasion include;
Archie Wedemeyer, Bob Coop, Kate
Boyd., Dale Roe, Eric Emery, and
Sidney Edwards.
