SCHOLARSHIP
FUND
New Method . for Raising
' Contributions Introduced in
This Year’s New Plan
CLASSES TO COMPETE
Members of Public Speaking
Group Will Visit Each Ad¬
visory to Further Interest
Carrying- on a drive throu'g-bout
the coming week, the Scholarship
Fund Committee hopes to bring
the fund up to a high level. Every
student is expected to contribute
something; if possible to obtain
a one year associate membership,
$1.00.
A new plan will be followed this
year. Being provided with small
envelopes, students contribute any
sum they can, writing on the face
of the envelope to what organiza¬
tion or individual the sum should
be credited.
Competition between clubs and !
classes will be strong, the purpose
of which will be to determine which
contribute the greatest sum to the
fund. A student may put his own
name on the envelope if he so wish¬
es.
Every advisory will be reached
by talks by some member of the
Public Speaking classes. A num¬
ber of students are giving talks
on the worth of the scholarship
fund to numerous service clubs in
the city, as the One Hundred Per
Cent, the Kiwanis, the Lions, and j
the Rotary clubs. Last year a
generous response was given to
the appeal.
With a small beginning, the
Scholarship fund was started j
eleven yeras ago for the purpose
of helping worthy and needy stu¬
dents to obtain higher education. 1
In *1921 the fund was changed to
a Memorial Scholarship fund in
memory of the P. H. S. boys who
lost their lives in the World War.
Thus far in its history, 106 in- ,
dividuals have been aided, of which
number 24 have fully repaid as
most of them are still in school.
The total amount loaned has been
$31,828.74. $4,436.04 has been
used more than once.
Don Wright, chairman of the
Student Scholarship fund comm¬
ittee, points out that the worthi¬
ness of- the cause alone should
make every student to be certain
to contribute something, no matter),
how small the amount may be.
FAMOUS MOVIE INDIANS
IN JAYSEE ASSEMBLY
Indians, war paint, scalp locks, ]
and sign languages were all in¬
cluded in the assembly program
which was given by the Areopa- 1
gite Club Tuesday.
Several famous Indians of the
Arapahoe and Shoshone tribes who j
have been playing in the movies
were brought over from Hollywood
through the courtesy of Sid Grau-
man, owner of the Egyptian Thea¬
tre, Hollywood, and Earl Davis,
club adviser of the Areopagites.
An interpretation of a few of
the signs in the famous Indian
sign language was made by T. L.
Ford, caretaker of the reservation
at Hollywood. He also introduced
the Indians and told a little of the
history of each. Among the not¬
able chiefs present were: Go-in-
the-Lodge, Go-Behind, and Wash¬
ington, of the Shoshone and Ara¬
pahoe tribes.
When interviewed, Chief Wash¬
ington said that he liked P. H. S.
very much, and that he regretted
it had been impossible for him to
get an education in such a school.
Ivory Statues Made
Out of Ivory Soap, satyrs,
laughing fauns, and expressive
faces in bas-relief are being made
by a pottery class under the di¬
rection of Miss Laura C. George
of the Fine Arts Department.
P. J. C. to Offer
Summer Courses
Great interest is being mani¬
fested in the junior college Dip¬
loma and Vocational courses being
offered in the summer session.
These include Accounting, Econ¬
omic History of U. S., English A,
English Composition, History of
Modern Europe, teachers’ course
in American History, and Short¬
hand and Typewriting-.
The characteristic of the Dip¬
loma courses is that they will
count in making up deficiencies
in the entrance requirements for
admission to the freshman year
of four-year colleges and univer¬
sities. Fifteen units of high
school work with grades of 80
or better are required for ad¬
mission into courses yielding cred¬
it toward a degree. A student,
lacking any part of these 15
recommending credits may make
up this deficiency by taking Dip¬
loma courses in the junior college,
three hours, of work in the col¬
lege being equal to 5 hours in
the high school. A number of stu¬
dents who lack some of these cred¬
its are planning to make up the
deficiencies this summer in the
junior college.
Great interest is also being
manifested in the course in Typ¬
ing and Shorthand. Both of these
courses may be taken at the
junior college during the summer
session.
The faculty of the summer
session will consist of the regular
juinor college instructors retained
for work during the summer
session.
It will also be possible for a
student to take one course in the
junior college and another in the
high school during the summer
session.
Enrollment starts Monday, May
18. Anyone interested should re¬
port immediately after that date
to the junior college office for
enrollment. No class will be or-

Junior College
Holds Reception
For the purpose of stimulating
interest in the Pasadena Junior
College', a reception of senior Hon¬
or Society and Ready-for-College
Club members was held at the
home of Principal Wm. F. Ewing
at 943 Elizabeth Street last Fri¬
day evening, May 15, at 8 o’clock.
Speakers, including Mr. Ewing
Vice-Principal J. P. O’Mara, Dean
of Girls Nellie Green Clarke, Dean
Harbeson of the Junior College,
and several students of the Junior
College, set forth thoroughly the
merits of the year-old institution.
Every phase of the work that the
Junior College has been doing in
the past year, and every advantage
that has been discovered were call¬
ed to the attention of the guests.
MEMORIAL DAY PROGRAM
AT P. H.S. IS PLANNED
According to custom, a special
Memorial Day program will . be
held at Pasadena High School in
memory of our dead. As Mem¬
orial Day will be Saturday, the
program is to be held the day
previous, May 29. As usual, sur¬
vivors of the Civil War are to
be guests of P. H. S. this year.
Men of the G. A. R. will have
charge of the first part of the
program. Then Donald Hamblin,
commissioner of Debating, will
speak in memory of the dead
from Pasadena, giving a list of
the dead warriors. The usual cus¬
tom of decorating the bronze
placque with wreaths will follow.
Finally, all will rise and sing the
national anthem.
Under the direction of Miss Lula
C. Parmley, the Junior College and
High School Glee Clubs gave a
splendid assembly last Friday, May
18.

NIGHT SCHOOL CLOSES
SUCCESSFUL TERM
Last Thursday, May 14, the
Night School of P. H. S. came to
a successful end. There has been
an average of twenty classes in
session each night with very good
attendance. It is expected that
the same courses will be offered
next fall.
Interest in the classes was shown
in the fact that many patrons
desired that the classes be in¬
definitely continued. Due to small
attendance in individual classes,
this plan was thought unwise.
REPRESENTATIVES OF
! CONTEST ARE CHOSEN
In order to determine who would
be eligible for the Annual Chem-
: ical Society contest, a preliminary
contest was recently held.
The students chosen to represent
P. H. S. are Erwin Peterson,
Warde Ogden, Jack Sylvester, Mol-
; lie Steinberg, Lowell Goode, John
I Musgrave, Eunice Reist, Duncan '
Hooper, George Otto, Herbert
i Dreadorff, Louise Bennett and Rob¬
ert Snyder.
They have organized and will di¬
rect their own study for the final
examination, which will be held in
Los Angeles on either May 23 or
May 29.
Every year the American Chem¬
ical Society holds a written chem¬
istry examinatins in Los Angeles .
in May at which teams composed
of chemistry students from the
various high schools of Southern
California compete. To the winning
team is given one year’s possession
of the contest cup student’s knowl¬
edge of theoretical, descriptive, and
applied chemistry.
In two or three weeks a second
standardized chemistry test, which
will reguire about 35 minutes to
write will be given to the students
who were recently selected. This
test will determine the five or six
students from P. H. S. who will
compete at Los Angeles.
Vote as you please, but be sure
to vote for commissioners.
Save a nickle for the yellow
sheet and a dime for the Bulldog.
Graduation Plans
Progressing Rapidly
Graduation plans are maturing
rapidly, and vague details are be¬
ginning to take a definite form.
Every day some one. of the seven
groups of girls, — the Spanish, Old-
fashioned girls of fifty years ago,
the maids-in-waiting to the Queen,
the loyalty group, and the three
groups of escorts to the seniors,
meet to discuss costumes and pro¬
perties.
Of the three groups which will
act as escorts to the seniors, the
first, 44 in number, will be dressed
in purest white with corn colored
hats and baskets filled with purple
iris. Another group of 44 will be
dressed in heliotrope, with gold
head bands and shoes and gilded
shepherds’ crooks. Blending with
these two groups will be more than
one hundred girls in dainty pastel
shades — palest yellow vo richest
orange, softest pink to deep cherry,
light blue and Copenhagen, laven¬
der and orchid.
No commencement, according to
Miss Ida Hawes, in charge of the
commencement plans, will be more
colorful than this. Its beauty will
not be in the coloring alone, for
the music is to be an attractive
feature. The Elk’s band is to play;
also Calmon Lubo-rissy and the
Russian String Quartet; Edward
Novis is to sing. “Surely,” says
Miss Hawes, “Pasadenans will need
no further word regarding music,
for all these artists are favorites.”
The setting of the commencement
will be rich in color — the east hill
in soft shades of pink and white
spring blossoms, the stage in or¬
chid and purple tones, the grape
arbors at the north with clusters
of purple grapes; the orange trees
laden with their golden fruit, and
thousands upon thousands of flow¬
ers in the arm bouquets carried by
the senior girls and used as dec¬
orative beds in the garden scene.
“No richer setting has ever been
used than this one of early Cali¬
fornia,” says Miss Hawes.
“Cheese Cracker”
Sequel Out Soon
On June 4, when the Press Club
puts out a sequel to last year’b
“Cheese Cracker,” a new precedent
will have been established in the
field of lemon-yellow journalism.
The name of this year’s funny
number as yet remains a dark se¬
cret, but, . as a gentle preparation
for its issuing, it may be stated
that it is being censored by Wil¬
liam Ranoff Fearst and Elinor
Grynn.
Ralph Moslander and Katheryn
Allen, elected by the Press Club, will
serve as editor and managing edi¬
tor of the publication. They have
already chosen a tentative staff
composed of Edith Penny, Virginia
Larson, Stanley Milne, Bob Han¬
son, Morris Jackson, . and James
Simsarian.
This edition will sell for five
cents, half a dime, or a nickle, and
is expected to have even better fi¬
nancial success than last year’s
“Cheese Cracker.”
STUDENT BODY MOVIE
TO BE GREAT SUCCESS
In a last effort to raise
sorely needed Student Body funds,
“Janice Meredeth,” featuring
Marion Davies, will be presented
in the auditorium Friday, May
29, at 3:30 P. M. Admission will
cost 25 cents.
“Janice Meredeth” is one of
the motion picture successes of
the past year. It is a story of
the American Revolution which
enjqyed a long run in one of the
most prominent New York thea¬
ters. As the feature itself is
quite lengthy, no other attractions
will be added, but Dan Morris,
commisioner of finance, assutres
everyone that such a picture is
not to be missed.

plies and medical care for all ath¬
letic teams, is now $175 in the
hole. Realizing the great need
; of money in this department, the
Boys’ League shouldered the res¬
ponsibility of an entertainment, in
which task the Cauldron Club of¬
fered assistance.
:
A play, an orchestra, and the
Cauldron singers, winners of the
Eisteddfod contest, will all have
parts on the program.
Tickets can be obtained at the
Student Body office, at Hunter
and Williams, at Vroman’s Book

to win the fancy of the heroine,
Lydia, by making himself out a
penniless ensign, thus creating a
number of embarrasing situations.
Tickets for the two performances
will go on sale soon.

former Chronicle staff member,

nue, after a long severe illness.
Mr. Allen was an attorney by pro¬
fession.
