things before you vote; then you will
surely vote for Brooks Gifford.
(Signed) HERBERT BIDDLE.
BENNETT PUTERBAUGH
Mr Bennett Puterb.augh is one of
the most popular athletes of the
school and one who has gained a
knowledge of managing athletic ac¬
tivities. Furthermore, he has shown
his executive ability as president of
the Junior Class. Are you expect¬
ing and predicting a prosperous ath¬
letic future for next year? You may
have it by merely voting for a person
who has done his duty for you and
his school.
(Signed) CLIFFORD BOOREY.
DEAN IRELAND
Wednesday, May 22. — Assem¬
bly with speeches by the candi¬
dates and their managers.
Friday, May 24. — Primary elec¬
tions for the five commission of¬
ficers and vote on the new Con¬
stitution, and the optional
amendment on Student Body
membership and dues.
Friday, May 31. — Final election
Next Friday the most important
event in Student Body affairs will
take place, namely the election of
Commissioners for 1918-19. For the
past month rumors and counter ru¬
mors have been circulating about
school as to who was going to run
and for what commissionership. Now,
however, the last candidate has come
out, enlisted his or her campaign
manager, and speaker and had his
petitions signed up. All is set and
ready for the final battle to decide
who is the most popular or rather
the most honored among the students
Of P. H. S.
Of course it is possible that some
nominations will be made from the
floor in assembly but it is not likely
that this method of bringing up a
candidate will be used in view of the
fact that it is unconstitutional and
that special request to the contrary
has been made by the commission.
As is well known to everybody ex¬
cept Freshmen each candidate must
come before the assembly together
with hig manager or speaker and
give a brief summary of the reasons
why he should be elected. An assem¬
bly for that purpose will be held to¬
day and there everybody who has
not yet made up their minds as to
whom they are going to vote for, will
have an opportunity to do so. It may
as well be mentioned here that those
who speak with the greatest facility
are not always the hardest workers.
At this assembly the various offices
will come up in alphabetical order
and the managers will give a three
minutes talk followed by a one min¬
ute address by the candidate himself.
The voters will be given three days
to think this over and
од
Friday the
primary elections will be held. The
voting as usual will be held in sepa¬
rate stalls under the Australian ballot
system. The ballots will be arraigned
about the same as the list at the head
of this article.
The following Friday the finals will
be held. So far debating is the only
office for which a second election will
be necessary.
Last year more candidates came
out than ever before and a larger
vote as polled. This year, altho the
number of candidates is somewhat
smaller much interest is being stirred
up by the campaign and a large vote
is to be expected.
The question of the new constitu¬
tion is stirring up equal interest with
the Commission election. As a reform
measure it should undoubtedly pass
if its supporters do not forget to
come out and vote for it. The optional
amendment regarding Student Body
membership and dues will also come
up next Friday and it is a question
whether this proposition will receive
a favorable decision.
BROOKS GIFFORD
The Commissioner) of Athletics
must be a man of ability, one who is
able to do things and one who puts
all his energy into his work. He is
now a member of a public speaking
class, and is therefore, well able to
speak before an audience He is a
member of this year’s swimming
team, which is out for the state
championship. He is a hard worker
carrying a recommending grade in
Dean Ireland, one of the finest, all
around boys in school, is a candidate
for commissioner of Debating.
A Commissioner of Debating must
be a hard worker, a good speaker,
know something about debating, and
above all have plenty of school spirit.
Mr. Dean is one of the hardest
working boys in school. "Let Dean
do it” is a common saying about the
halls and Dean always does it. He
can speak well, knows about debat¬
ing, is noted for his schooi spirit and
is behind every activity that the
school undertakes.
No better man than Dean Ireland
could be found to represent the
school. B. Jack Brown.
FREDERICK LOOMIS
In placing before the Student Body
the name of Frederick Loomis, I
know that you are considering a
candidate who gets behind every
school activity, and who is one of the
most popular fellows in the school.
He is a man with ingenuity and a
good business manager. Where can
we find a more energetic fellow to
keep up the enthusiasm in debating,
a man with as much ability and as
good a fellow as Fred Loomis? GET
BEHIND THE MAN WITH THE
PEP!
(Signed) KELLOGG KREBS.
LOREN RYDER.
It is difficult to select a candidate
when several good men are running
for the same office. In selecting from
these men several things should be
kept in mind. The person should have
some experience. He should be back¬
ed by the debators.
Loren Ryder has in the past shown
himself to be just the man for the
office. His debating experience has
made him free and easy on the stage
and on all occasions he has shown
himself to be a democratic energetic
and consistant worker. Thing it over
and rest assured that when you
stamp an X after the name of Loren
Ryder, your good judgment will be
rewarded.
LOUIS MINSKEY
In placing the name of Louis Min¬
skey before the Pasadena Student
Body as a candidate for the office of
commissoiner of finance I believe
that I am submitting for your con¬
sideration one of the most competent
and hard working members of the
Junior Class. He has taken an active
part in school affars. During his
Sophomore year he won his letter in
debating. This year he has not only
been a member
о
f the track team
but has represented his class in in¬
terclass debates. As treasurer of the
Junior Class and also a manager of
the Junior Thrift campagin, he has
gained great financial experience. In
view of these facts I believe that
Louis Mnsikey is best qualified for
the office of Commissioner of Fi¬
nance.

WINIFRED WALLACE
Candidates with experience, with
speaking ability, those who possess
good citizenship, and high standards
of .scholarship are needed in the com¬
mission. By her experience of the
publications staff and on the debating
team, by her hearty support of all
the student body activities, and by
her high grades, my candidate has
fully qualified herself to run.
My candidate, if elected, will do all
in her power to strengthen coopera¬
tion between faculty, student body,
and commission, realizing that in
unity alone Pasadena may hold her
unequaled position among the high
schools of the southland.
It gives me sincere pleasure, then,

letter received from the War Savings
committee.

LINCOLN WINS NEB. STATE
LINCOLN, NEB. Lincoln Hi won
the state track championship, break¬
ing two of the three records broken.
The mile reeord was lowered to 4:41;
the 129-yard hurdles was made in
16 3-5 seconds, and the quarter mile
was reduced to 54 3-4 seconds.
HIGH SCHOOL WILL
GIVE COURSE IN
NURSING NEXT YEAR
A few days ago representatives of
the Pasadena Hospital met Mr. Wil¬
son, Miss Fisher, and Miss Pierson.
As a result of this conference a
course in nursing has been proposed
for the curriculum next year. When
this course is completed an advance
credit of six months will be given at
the local hospital.
The advantage of this course Is not
only the time saved, but that the
high school may find out whether or
not the girls are satisfactory for Red
Cross work. Thus the hospital is sav¬
ed this unnecessary work of experi¬
mentation. All the rudiments of nurs¬
ing will be dealt with while an em¬
phasis will be laid on the theoretical
work which plays an Important part
in the training of a nurse. Any girl
in any year may take up the course
by filling In the requirements stated.
Besides this the high school will es¬
tablish a branch course at the hospi¬
tal so that those who have missed the
school course may still have the op¬
portunity.
The course requires the following
subjects; 3 years English, 2 years
modern language, 2 — 3 years science,
2 years home economics, 1 year mus¬
ic and art, one year history and el¬
ectives.

LUCKY SENIORS
WILL BE LET OUT
OF SCHOOL EARLY
At a teachers meeting the ques¬
tion qf letting the Seniors out
during the last week was dis¬
cussed and granted. Only two
conditions go with this. The week
will be given only to those who
are up and passing with their
work . The other is that the Sen¬
iors being once given this, must
not put in appearande during
school time unless specially call¬
ed. All rehearsing for commence-
m(ent is planned to take place the
preceding week by allowing the
successive periods following the
first Monday to be given to the
Seniors for practicing.

ALFRED WESSON
A1 Wesson, candidate for Commis¬
sioner of Publications, has had much
experience with the publications of
Pasadena High School for the last
two years which makes him well
I qualified to do the work he would be
| given if elected. He has been closely
associated with school activities, and
is very democratic, being well-
known in the different school circles.
He is a good student and has lots of
pep, two essential qualifications.
As a member of the Chronicle staff
for two years, and this year as man¬
aging editor of that paper, A1 Wes¬
son has done much to make the Pas-
, adena High School publications a suc-
, cess. I am glad to be able to place
before the students of P. H. S. his
name as candidate for the position of
г
Commissioner of Publications.

ESTHER BROWN
We all realize that the office of
Commissoiner of Public Welfare calls
for one of more than ordinary ability
and in offering a candidate there is
one who has proven her ability in
fulfilling in an admirable way not
only the office of Secretary of the
Junior class but partaking in the
different undertakings of her class.
Knowing of her interest in school af¬
fairs and executive ability in carry¬
ing them out, I offer with confidence
for your worthy consideration the
name of Esther Brown as candidate
for Commissioner of Public Welfare.

Soldiers From Camp Kearny
and Fort Macarthur to
Use Grounds
Government Will Train Sol¬
diers in Technical Work
This Summer
From now on until the end of the
i war P. H. S. will not be unoccupied.
This summer the high school, besides
| being a summer school, will be a spe-
! cial training school for picked soldiers
! from Fort MacArthur and Camp
i Kearny .The Schood Board, not long
I ago offered the government the use
! of school grounds for a period of six-
' ty days to be used as the government
sees fit.
About 170 soldiers could be accom
modated and the work would be
along special lines, mostly technical.
The school contains all necessary
equipment and men could be trained
in engineering blacksmithing, car¬
pentering, machine shop work, and
other similar instruction.
The cafeteria would be kept run¬
ning with probably the same force as
at present and the soldiers could get
their noon meal there. There is no
doubt but that they will make good
use of the plunge.
Some imagine that the school
grounds will present a military ap¬
pearance with its tents and every¬
thing. This will not be possible as
the soldiers will have to do their
drilling at Tournament Park as the
athletic field is being planted in
grass.
CHRONICLE SCRIBE f
INTERVIEWS
GALLI CURCI
BY U-NO-ME-AL.
RESHMEN BABES
WILL HAVE Bit
PARTY
There are interviews and various
kinds of interviews. Last Wednesday
night I had one of the various kinds
of interviews. Galli Curci was singing
at P. H. S. that evening, and since
she isn’t such a bad singer I thought
it would be rather nice to interview
her. But the sad part of this tale is
that she thought different and my at¬
tempt, as the saying goes, left me
sadder but wiser.
After getting near enough to her to
be able to see why her lips looked so
red, I suddenly found myself facing
her with a good chance to talk. But
I had never thought about what I
wanted to say, and immediately be¬
gan to feel very superfluous. But re¬
membering the old stuff interviewers
usually spring on people from the
east, I stammered something asking
her how she liked Southern Califor¬
nia.
“*&$/||%” was ®what the reply
sounded like to me as the famous
singer gave me a look that made me
glance around for the nearest exit.
“Yes, I think so too. And the beau¬
tiful California sunshine? Do you
like that?” I stuttered.
“/V||%*oe% - - -’&$*— lb §-” she re¬
plied decisively in Italian and took a
step forward.
I retreated in disorder, admitting
to myself that I was a pretty poor in¬
terviewer.
(/
she add¬
ed a second later to my fleeing back,
and my retreat became a rout.
But anyway I still claim that it was
an interview and besides I got her
autograph which I shall preserve
with several rare relics, among them
the “1” I got in freshman English.
Her manager afterward stated that
she was very tired as she had been
giving many concerts lately, but he
was unable to explain the choice
Italian phrases which Galli Curci had
fiired at me with the precision of a
machine-gun. Probably their meaning
will be one of the dark secrets of her
life which will be buried only in her
grave. But anyway, the inter¬
view (?!?) is over, and I’m not going
to worry.
LEAD ANOHIN FDIL
DRIVE BRINGS
RESULTS
Salvage Day Nets Over 175
Pounds of Lead and
Tin Foil
Salvage Carnival Next Big
Drive for All Kinds
of Salvage
Over 175 pounds of tin and lead
foil were turned in on salvage day
last Thursday and together with
some that P. H, S. had before and
some that was turned after the drive
about 100 pounds will be turned in to
the Red Cross. This is a great record
for P. H. S. and was one of the most
successful drives that has been held.
The largest amount that was turned
in by one class was 34 1-2 pounds,
18 lbs., being the next. The winning
classes are.
Major Generals — Chas. Pricket,
Arthur Picket, 127C; Eliot Rhodes,
202C ; Winifred Wallace, 215C; Ma¬
rie Woodruff, 101B; Harry McCam-
met, 237C;
Colonels — Helen Davis, 132C; Zel-
ma Hoff 1G,
Captain— Grace Lamore 124C
Second Lieutenant — Earl iJardine
122C.
The Red Cross has found a way by
which a high grade of solder can be
made by mixing the tin and lead foil
and this solder sells at a very good
price.
Dorothy Danner was the command¬
er of this drive. Three are three class¬
es which have been ahead in every
drive and if they continue to do so
in the next drive they will enter the
ranks along with Pershing as “Gen¬
eral” The next drive is to be a Sal-

FROSH TO CELEBRATE
Three One-Act Plays to Be
Staged by Budding Ac-
torines at Party
Not content with giving the other
classes some lively thrift stamp
competition, the Freshman class has
actually planned a huge “splash and
supper” party at Brookside Park
Friday afternoon a week from after
school until bedtime. The program is
to be chuck ful of surprises and unex¬
pected thrills and the youngsters are
bubbling over with anticipation.
First of all bathing suits of all
kinds, striped, spotted and shrunk
will be greatly in evidence, as a pre¬
liminary dip is scheduled as the pri¬
mary attraction. When the wild wails
of starving P. H. S. babes can no
longer be ignored, the said infants
will pair off in grown-up fashion and
partake of refreshments. As a means
of working off surplus energy various
races ranging from the "three-leg¬
ged” variety to a “crazy man’s” prom¬
enade will then be staged. If enough
gunny sacks have been left over
from the “drive,” one of these speed-
promoters will be held.
To complete the evening, three one
act plays will be given by the bud¬
ding actorettes. The titles of these
dramatic delights sound most excit¬
ing. First is “When Love Is Young”.
Anything more appropriate can
scarcely be imagined. The next “mel-
odrammer” is to be “A Dinner of
Complications.” Whether this is
caused by a change of cooks or by
the unexpected arrival of Mr. Hoover
remains to be seen.
Last of all comes “A Committee of
Matrimony,” something everyone has
long felt the need of. At any rate
there should be plenty of romance
“On the boards” not to mention the
home-grown specialty.
With such a startling array of tal¬
ent and thrills promised and with a
entertainment committee headed by
Helen Hookway, the Vice-president
on duty, the Freshman Splash holds
some highly alluring attractions for
the three hundred strong of the class
and one of those “come early and
avoid the rush’’ invitations is extend¬
ed to all progressive members.

GO TO OREGON TODAY
Today P. H. S. loses one of her
staunchest and truest supporters.
Much against the wishes of his
friends, Harry McCament last week
announced his intention to leave Pas¬
adena this morning for Salem, Ore¬
gon. Harry is to work in one of the
big lumber camps up north and then
go east next year to take a prepara¬
tory course for Annapolis.
All through his stay at P. H. S.,
Harry has been prominent in school
affairs. In both his freshman and
sophomore year, he held important
class offices. This year besides hold¬
ing down the job of Commissioner of
Finance, he made the football team.
Because of McCament’s work, the
Student Body comes out ahead for the
year. This is about the first time in
the history of P. H. S. that this re¬
markable incident has happened and
Harry deserves a lot of credit for it.
He handled the Thrift Stamp drive
for the school and it was capably
managed. Pasadena loses an all
around fellow — Good luck, Harry.
vage Carnival and all the things ask¬
ed for in the previous drives will be
collected with the exception of iron,
tin, and any small bottles. These are
to be bought and turned into differ¬
ent places for each separate articles
and credit will be given as before.
