Straight Wins

Securing first place in the debate
tournament at Redlands University
Day last Saturday, the Pasadena
team brought a silver loving cup
to the trophy collection.
Lubert Sanderhoff and Melvin
Nelson also received gold medals as
a reward for winning seven
straight victories by defeating
Long Beach, Glendale, Compton,
and Los Angeles on both sides of
the question.
Get Satisfaction
“Pasadena debate men derived a
great deal of satisfaction in placing
over L. A. J. C. who won the cham¬
pionship league debate recently and
were awarded the same cup last
year,” said
С.
C. Stewart, coach.
Two other local teams entering
were composed of Tom Brady, Mil¬
ford Fish, Chester Anderson, and
Paul Jones.
“Coaches judging the contest
stated that the Pasadena talkers
had a better understanding of the
question than any other squad,”
added Mr. Stewart.
Field Large
Competing against a large field,
Violet Widess, local oratorical rep¬
resentative, was selected as one of
the nine finalists in the speech con¬
test, but San Bernardino was the
successful contender to gain the
first place cup.
Sales Make
Large Total
For ‘Blade’
With the number of sales amount¬
ing to more than 250, “First the
Blade” is fast selling the 500 pub¬
lished copies, according to Miss
Harriet McClay, adviser for the
1932 issue of the California Collegi¬
ate Anthology of Verse.
Returns from the two student
sales commission®, headed by Louise
Bonds and Bernard Desenberg, in¬
dicate that the latter’s squad is
ahead; and although the poems
were written by young people, the
results of selling show that many
volumes have been purchased toy
adults.
Acting as president school next
year, P. J. C. will have charge,
through Miss McClay, secretary, of
numerous correspondence and small
affairs connected with the verse
book’s publishing.
PICTURES REQUIRED
Every student now in school
who was entered this semester
must have his picture taken
any time next Tuesday, Wed¬
nesday, or Thursday on the
third floor of the Horace Mann
building, according to John A.
Anderson, dean of records.
Board Sets
Ultimatum
Rumors concerning the inat¬
tention of Pasadena junior col¬
lege students to civil laws have
caused the board of representa¬
tives last Tuesday to rule that all
clubs and organizations must
appoint a committee to see that
no violations of law occur at any
school function under their aus¬
pices.
Because the board considers
obedience of laws among young
people as one of the most ser¬
ious problems in America, the
j ultimatum was passed.

Black- Sweater ed Lancers ,
New Service Organization ,
To Guard Campus Etiquette
- ♦ -
The Lancers, black-attired guardians of P. J. C. campus
traditions, college mode of life, and citizenship etiquette,
became colorful realities this week where seven days ago
only the bare idea of a men’s
service club had existed.
Thirty i n number, the
spearmen will wear black
sweaters emblazoned with
white emblems, theirs while
they live up to their knight¬
hood vow.
Fills Want
“Organization of the service
club fulfills a long-felt want,”
declared Bill Thomas, Lancer
chieftain, “Not only will mem¬
bers have their work cut out
for them, but they will be vi¬
tal factors in creating a bet¬
ter college atmosphere.”
Duties of the student phal¬
anx will consist of gate-guard¬
ing at athletic contests, bill thomas
watching auditorium doors
during assembly, cleaning up unsightly conditions existing
at the canteen, enforcing campus regulations, and solving of
a host of other problems.
Thomas admitted that cleaning up the canteen mess is
among the chief problems that his band will have to attack,
thus officially aproving the Chronicle’s unwavering policy
that “the trash must go,” as again discussed in the editorial
columns of this issue.
Forward Step, Says Dean
James P. O’Mara, dean of men and faculty adviser of the
Lancers hailed the organization as a great forward step in
student government. “Participation in this work will mean
as much to the individual as to his school,” was the dean’s
comment.
The organization will not clash with Mast and Dagger
as the latter group is an honorary service club while the
Lancers constitute a working service group, it was pointed
out. The board of representatives emulated U. S. C.’s famous
Trojan squires in organizing the service club. The Compton
J. C. Tartars are a similiar group.
Candidates’ Petitions Are Due
At Student Body Office Today
- .+ -
Petitions signed by 50 students are due at the student body office
at 3 p. m. today from all candidates who submitted eligibility cards to
Chief Justice Eric Emery yesterday.
News Channel
Undercurrents
The watchman with the
squeaky shoes” is not the
name of a popular play, a de¬
tective thriller, or an advertis¬
ing racket, but a curious phe¬
nomenon that appears around
school about 5 o’clock every
evening. How can a night
watchman surprise an enter¬
prising prowler when loud
“squeakers” announce his ap¬
proach?
“Anyone not complying with this
ruling will not be allowed to run in
the election,” warned Emery em¬
phatically. “Only candidates who
handed in activities cards yesterday
are eligible to secure petitions.”
Preliminary balloting will take
place second period next Wednes¬
day and finals will be Friday.
Elective offices which will be
voted upon are : student body presi¬
dent; chief justice; senior, junior,
sophomore, and freshman represen¬
tative; A. W. S. president, first
and second vice-presidents; A. M.
S. president, vice-president, secre¬
tary, and treasurer.
Science and Math
1 Groups to Gather
Following a banquet of the sci¬
ence and math students and teach¬
ers in the P. J. C. cafeteria, plans
will be made for next year’s pro¬
gram of the science association. Art:
the present time, plans have been
made to sponsor the annual Fara¬
day lecture and two assembly pro¬
grams next year.
At the conclusion of the meeting
there will be an illustrated lecture
in 200-C given by Dr, John F.
Kessel of the Medical College, U.
S. C. He will speak on “Intestinal
Protozoa and Bacteria of Signifi¬
cance in Southern California.”
Former Registrar
Here Passes Away
Mr. Harold T. Clifton, former
registrar and teacher at P. J. C.,
died on May 13, after a lingering
illness which had kept him in a
sanitarium for the past four years
Services were held last Monday,
at 4 o’clock, in the funeral parors
of Turner and Stevens, Marengo
and Holly, Pasadena.

Unlike the Chronicle, profession¬
al newspapers run final editions
and are fully expected to appear
the next day. Not only is the
Chronicle appearing today, but
three more issues will be publish¬
ed. The graduation edition will be
the greatest array of journalism
ever presented at P. J. C.
At last modern transporta¬
tion has gone beyond the point
where open mouths and star¬
ing eyes herald the appear¬
ance of a “horseless” carriage
or a “birdless” airship.
In classes Tuesday, recita¬
tion was halted while approxi¬
mately 16 airplanes puzzed
over the school, and in one
room the teacher, in a voice
weakened by the approaching
hum, nonchalantly told the
victim of the moment to wait
until “that noise is gone.”
Head Announces
Campaign Returns
Over 12,000 “booster” p lutes for
the Olympics have been sold, ac¬
cording to John Thompson, P. J. C.
student head, in charge of the
Olympic Finance Aid committee.
Hold Open House
Despite Weather

Although rapid diminution of
tickets for the astronomy open
■house last Friday and Saturday
evenings led .the department to an¬
ticipate a record attendance, un¬
settled weather prevented many ap¬
plicants from coming.
Performances were held as sche¬
duled, however, and visitors attend¬
ing were permitted an elaborate

MANY VETERANS GONE
— ♦ —
P. J. C. Is Only School to Be
Visited by Heroes
Of Battelfield
— f—
Because many old comrades have
answered their last roll call and
the remaining veteran® are enfee¬
bled by approaching taps, the di¬
minished G. A. R. corps will this
year visit but one school, P. J. C.,
to give the annual Memorial Day
program, Friday.
Hanging in the main hall is a
bronze plaque on which are in¬
scribed names that few present stu¬
dents know. It holds, however, a
significance that increases with the
years, one that commemorates the
memory of Pasadena high school
students who sacrificed their lives
on the battlefields of France.
To Pay Honor
Outstanding P. J. C. undergrad¬
uates will honor these student-sol¬
diers by reading their names, and
by placing wreaths of tribute upon
the plaque, removed to the stage
for the occasion.
Captain M. W. Halsey will pre¬
side and reminiesce, and the G. A.
R. fife and drum corps will enter¬
tain. F. G. Novis, father of Don
Novis, prominent singer and grad¬
uate of P. H. S., will give Steven¬
son’s “Light” as in previous years.
Song Is Suitable
“This selection is especially suit¬
able for the memorial service not
only because of its beautiful senti¬
ment but also because the keynote
of the assembly is primarily that
of reverence,” said Mr. Novis of
this song.
“When the Flag Goes By” will
be sung by the Euterpeans, the
solo being done by Robert Hend¬
ricks. The combined glee clubs will
present a medley of Civil war songs
antiphonally.
The boys whose names appear on
the plaque and who fell in France
are: Raymond Barton, Clarence

The presentation of her own play
at the Shakespeare clubhouse is the
singular honor which Miss Katha¬
rine Kester will enjoy Tuesday aft¬
ernoon, when “Bargains,” the cast
of which includes Leonore Cavell,
Dallett Williamson, Jack Cutler,
and Alice Knowles will be enacted.
Dorothy Handy assists the author
as student director.
Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night”
will be given Thursday to be re¬
peated again Monday, May 31. Miss
Kester’s IB and 23B Drama classes
make up the cast.
Bauble and Bells, lower division
dramatics unit, will celebrate a
social event of unusual interest and
proportion near the end of the
present semester, terminating many
successful activities of the past
year.
Group Basks
In Hot Sun
Forgetting irregular verbs
and quadratic equations to bask
under Catalina’s warm sun, Al¬
pha Gamma Sigma and C. S. F.
members left today for the
magic isle to enjoy their annual
pleasure outing.
The committee who planned
this excursion included: Henry
Sievers, Jr., chairman; Ruth
Van Horn, Marion Howell, and
Walter Nichols. Miss Kathleen
D. Loly, chairman of the Schol¬
arship societies committee is
accompanying the group.
