J. C. Presidents
Meet Here "June I
Pasadena to Fete California
Student Presidents’ Ass’n.
Harry B. Milholin, J.C. base¬
ball coach and high school varsity
football mentor, tendered his resig¬
nation to Cecil F. Martin, head of
the physical education departments
of the Pasadena city schools, last
week. Mr. Milholin will finish out
the remainder of the school year
as coach, but he will not be pres¬
ent next year.
Ij p to date, Mr. Milholin refuses
to state where he will be next !
year, but rumor has it that he is
waiting for elections in several of i
the colleges.
Good Record
In his first year of football
coaching at Pasadena high school
Coach Milholin developed a pigskin
squad that finished second in the
Coast league. Then he took charge
of the midget basketball squad and
turned out a championship team
that vv.on everything until a mem¬
ber was declared ineligible. Then
taking chaige of the junior college
baseball team, I^ilholin developed
another championship squad. This
year, the Pasadena high school
varsity footbaii team won the
Coast league championship.
Hates to Leave
In a talk to the football men out
for spring practice, coach Milholin
said, “'I hate to leave you fellows ;
just when I have built up a foun¬
dation of a team that could probab¬
ly get another Coast league title.
However, if you fellows will co¬
operate with the fellow who does
the coaching, you have a good
chance to put out a winning
team.”
To date no one has been select¬
ed to fill Coach Milholin’s shoes, j
and whether a new man will be
hired, or one of the present coach¬
es promoted is not yet known.
Plans for the fourth semi¬
annual California Student Presi¬
dents' association, which will be
held at Pasadena, June 2, are
being quickly completed by com¬
mittees of the junior college. Pas¬
adena is president of the organi¬
zation, which is composed of rep¬
resentatives from state teachers’
colleges and junior colleges. The
meeting will come to order at
!>:45 in the morning and will
continue throughout the day and
evening.
The first meeting of the or¬
ganization was held in San Jose
in the spring of 1926. Last
January, Pasadena joined the
association and, at the same
meeting was chosen president.
The purpose of the conference is
to discuss problems of junior
colleges and state teachers’ col¬
leges. The best speakers on the
various subjects will b? used to
lead the discussion, which will
take place in the group as a
whole as well as in separate di¬
visions.
When the time for the conven¬
tion arrives, students of the
upper division will be called
upon to house the delegates.
Katie Leffler will receive offers
now from those willing to assist
in entertaining the delegates.
Chris Daniels, president of the
former junior college student
body, will be in general charge.

Geraldine Play
Numerous important changes]
have been made in the east for
the senior class play, “The Stub- ,
bornness of Geraldine,” which will
be given June 12 and 13 in the
Marshall junior high school Audi- j
lorium.
The part of Lord Tilbury' will be
played by Ewing Konold according
to the announcement by Elizabeth
E. Keppie, director of the produc¬
tion. Bernice Petheram has been
given the role of Vi, second fem¬
inine lead. The part of Mrs. Jars
will he taken by Geraldine Ander¬
son, while the part of Mrs. Wrigh-i
toii will be interpreted by Isabel
McLain. Arthur Casebeer' will
have the part of Mr. Wrighton.
Seat sale will begin at once. All
seats will be reserved and sold at
popular prices.
Combining the Junior College
“Times” and the high school
"Chronicle” to create what will be
known as the “Pasadenan,” the
staffs of these two publications
will concentrate on what will be
a semi-weekly from this issue of
the paper until the end of the
semester, terminating the year of
publications by issuing a twelve ,
page edition that will contain a j
resume of past activities of the .
two institutions and what the
plans for the future embody.
The two staffs of the former j
newspapers are no»v organized to
put out the semi-weekly paper :
that will appear on Tuesday and
Friday of each week for the next
three weeks. The name of these ;
editions was chosen temporarily
for the remainder of the semester
pending the choosing of an embiern
by the officers of the new student
govern ment.
The final edition of the “Pasa¬
denan” will include the history,
of the former institution, the future
of the new institution and will be
put out by a staff made up of
the former staffs assisted by
the Scribes club which also em- j
bodies the Gargoyles, and the1
Deadline club.
The editorial office of the ne.v
publication will be centralized in
the office of the former “Chron¬
icle” with the office of the former
“Times” being used as the re-
portorial room.
Due to the crowded condition of
the print shop only a two page
edition is being published today.
As soon as possible a four-page
paper will be published.
Tickets for the Pasadena high
school commencement exercises
at the Rose Bowl on June 15 will
be issued on or about June 1, ac¬
cording to an announcement
made by W. E. Wilcox, school
treasurer, yesterday morning.
Each senior will receive 30
tickets for his family and friends.
Five of those tickets will be in
the center section near the bot¬
tom, and five near the top of the
same section. Ten will be on the
south side, and ten on the west
side. Nineteen thousand, five
hundred seats will be issued to
the senior class.
The remainder of the 65,000
seats will be given to the city
people. This year instead of
having the people desiring tic¬
kets, come to Mr. Wilcox' for
them, people will get them
through the school which their
oldest student attends. Tickets
will be sent to the various
schools from the high school and
will be issued from there. Only-
tickets ordered in advance at the
various schools will be given out.
Those having no students in
school are urged to get someone
in the senior high school to ob¬
tain them.
The junior girls will meet
soon to begin work on their part
in the pageant, which is one of
the biggest affairs of the class
year.

Girls to Vote on Type
of Dress for Next Term
Coach Harry B. Milholin,
who has resigned his position of
high school and junior college
coach.
Contrary to popular opinion
there have been no definite ar- j
rangements made as to the girls'
uniform for next year, and, ac-|
cording to Miss Margaret S. Frey,
any changes that are made will not
bo made without the opinion of tire
gilds themselves.
Reports are that definite chang¬
es have been made and that the
girls will wear civies next year,
but as far as facts are concerned
the girls will in all probability
vote on the question soon.

last will be held at the Bleeker

ner, present members of the society

Pasadena Girl One
of Six in Contest
—
Geraldine W. Anderson will up-|
hold the forensic reputation of
Pasadena high school tonight, May;
25, when she competes against
five other speakers for the]
oratorical championship of South- ;
ern California from the platform ;
of the Hollywood Bowl. Herj
oration, entitled “Disarmament,” :
placed high in a preliminary con-J
test held May 11, at Whittier
college, and she is regarded as a
dangerous competitor by her op¬
ponents in the finals. The pro¬
gram will start at 8 o’clock.
This will be the nineteenth
annual contest to be held under
the direction of the Southern Cal¬
ifornia Intel-scholastic Debating
League, making it one of the old¬
est regularly organized high school
events in the state. For the second
time it is being held in the Holly¬
wood Bowl, where it is hoped that
the contest may eventually develop
into a great annual civic assembly
giving the same public support to
the oratorical achievements of high
school students as is now given to
athletic games.
The school whose orator wins
the contest will receive the Univer¬
sity of California trophy cup for
the year. It is now in the posses¬
sion of Huntington Park high
school. The first plaqe speaker
himself receives a gold medal
from the league. Silver and
bronze medals are awarded to
the second and third place speak¬
ers, respectively.
Official nomination of all elective
officers running for governmental
positions next year will be made
in the special assemblies on Mon¬
day, May 28, and the primary elec¬
tion will be held on the following
Friday. Petitions were circulated
yesterday and submitted today, to
be checked for authenticity.
Because of examinations, and
interfering conditions, the election
must be rushed and the candidates
will not be given a chance to make
acceptance speeches in assembly.
Finals of. the election will be held
on the following Monday, and the
installation of officers will be held
soon after. q
According to the election com¬
mittee, made up of class officers
and two members of each cabinet,
the primary elections will be held
in the second period classes
throughout the school. The upper
division finals, however, will be
held by a poll vote, and the lower
division in the third period classes.
An edition of the “Pasadenan”
containing all of the nomination
speeches, will be published next
Thursday, so that the voters may
look over qualifications before vot¬
ing.
Petitions of nomination for the
following candidates for elective
office in the Associated Students
are now being circulated:
President — Joseph Goodrich,
John Floyd, Monta Shirley.
■ Senior Representative — Daniel
McNamara, Herbert Harris, Paul
Floyd.
Junior Representative Mary
Jenkins, Clerence Vetterli, Neal
Batterson, Gordon Lester, Howard
Packard, Mildred Marshall.

bert Ellis, Thirza Markey, Madi¬
son Davis, Nelson Dodge, Frank
