Orchestra and Two Popular Film Successes Make Up This Big Feature Program Offering a big double-bill program to the students next Thursday after¬ noon and to the parents and general public Thursday evening, the after¬ noon entertainment committee expects a big turn-out to the last production of the year. In an effort to make this final en¬ tertainment the best shown this sea¬ son, Mary Margaret Ambrose, com¬ mittee -chairman, has secured two of the finest moving picture films that | could be purchased. “At the Sign of the Jack o’Lantern,” a comedy-drama full of hair raising mysteries, and “The Beggar Maid,” a beautiful myth story which everyone will enjoy, are the films to be shown next week. Students liking comedy, mystery, and drama, all in one picture, will be pleased with “At the Sign of the Jack o’Lantern.” This picture is filled with thrilling experiences of a young married couple who move into a strange house of uncanny happenings. Many Mysteries Some of the things you will see in this film are, “A haunted house that looks like a jack o’lantern when the winodws are lighted at night. A huge black cat that has the habit of scaring people into hysterics. A search for a buried treasure in the orchard at mid¬ night. A shadowy figure that is seen prowling about the halls at night. Doors slam, and pictures that rock without human help.” The whole film is filled with these nerve shattering incidents and contain (Continued on Page 3) At the Davis-Hall Oratorical Con¬ test to be held at the Los Angeles High School June 2, Michael Dolan will speak for P. H. S. Another contest was held before Michael Dolan was chosen because at the contest which was held at P. H. S. the judges disagreed and named E\v erett Shilling, first, on his material, and Michael Dolan, second on his de¬ livery. A strict rule of the Southern Cali¬ fornia League is that no contestant shall enter the league unless he is first in both material and delivery. Consequently the second contest was held and Michael Dolan won. Although P. H. S. did not win the cup last year, she has strong hopes of winning it this year. Production Contains Many Human Interest Situations and Has Four Delightful Settings Each One Different; Cast is Well Chosen and is Well Coached IS LAST BIG SENIOR EVENT SCHEDULED FOR THIS YEAR It is the Ambition of the Upper Classmen to Make This Their Last Activity in High School Affairs, the Crowning Achieve¬ ment of the Year in P. H. S. Commissioners’ Plan to Raise Money for Student Body is Great Success After almost two months of preparation the Senior Class will stage its play “Daddy Long-Legs,” tonight in the high school auditorium. From all appearances this production will equal that of the Junior Class play “Clar¬ ence,” and the faculty play, “Dickens’s “Christmas Carol.” In the opinion of some people it will even surpass these former school productions because of - ; — : - | the many students in the cast who | MEETING AT LINCOLN HIGH 3c^ken °r Wh° *re taldng dra‘ - i The play, which was written by With the assembling of presidents Jean Webster, appeared first in series from each of the City League High in the Ladies Home Journal magazine, School Student Bodies at Lincoln High 1 then in book form and still later it today, problems effecting high schools "’as dramatized. will be discussed and probably some I It is a story of a little orphan girl satisfactory conclusion reached. who is sent to college by her guardian One of the important questions NEARLY $100 IS CLEARED Assistant Principal O’Mara Forc¬ ed to Shine Two Girls’ Shoes Who Tied First Honors of the the May 29 is Date for Annual Event Given, by Class of ’23 for Parting Seniors SPORT CLOTHES IN ORDER MONEY FOR NEAR EAST RELIEF DUE JUNE Is* That money due for Near East Re¬ lief subscriptions may be turned in at the P. H. S. bank until June 1st, is the statement of Janet B. I-Ioit, who has charge of the Near East fund. After June 1st the officials of the Near East Relief will take charge and the money will have to be paid at the downtown banks. Students who are subscribing pledges are urged to get as many pledges as possible during the remain¬ ing days of this month and turn in the pledge books before June 1st. About $150 dollars have been turned in so far. One Definition Actually produced during advisory period: “School spirit is the love of one’s school expressed in a joyous yell.” All Formality to Be Cast Aside in Transporting Victims to Chinatown How many have seen a Chinese jazz bazaar? That is what the Junior- Senior Reception is to be. In “Chingaling’s Jazz Bazaar” there will be oriental gods and perhaps a few goddesses, genuine Chiitese food, oriental music, and a Chinese atmo¬ sphere. This is an absolutey different way of presenting the annual Junior- Senior party, and the Junior officers are sure it will be one of the most unique events of the year. The party is to be given by the Juniors for the graduating Senior- class, at the Raymond Hotel, on Mon¬ day, May 29. The time has been mys¬ teriously set at 8:01 in the evening. Hotel Raymond on South Fair Oaks and Columbia is one of the noted hotels of California. The Los Ange¬ les short line can be taken to get there. Sport clothes are to be worn for the occasion. This will give a certain charm and put aside formality. There is only one requirement, that is paying the class dues, whether Jun¬ ior or Senior. All students having class carrs will be admitted to the party. The first “Shine Day” in the history of Pasadena last Tuesday was not only well received but was taken up with a great deal of enthusiasm by both the students and faculty, and as a result of their loyal efforts nearly a hundred dollars was stacked in the student body’s safe. About fifty of the school’s most pop¬ ular students, disguised is overalls and straw hats, transformed themselves into bootblacks and went about the campus shining shoes at ten cents a swing. Many records were established dur¬ ing the day. The first was attributed to “Rosie” Winchell who claimed the honor of giving the first shine of the day at 7 o’clock in the morning. “Hank” Hartman, by shining 210 ! shoes, was hailed as champion, with Herbert Garben obtaining second with 66 shines, also claiming the first shine given to the girls. Williard Downs was awarded first place in the R. О. T. C. class with a total of 141 shines. Along with each shine a cold glass of lemonade was served by members of the Girls’ League. In the ticket selling competition Vir¬ ginia Mowat and Helen Smith tied for | first place by selling 156 tickets each. Third honors were taken by Beatrice Bennett who sold 128 tickets. Hon¬ orable mention was given Max Colwell who sold 212 tickets but not in compe¬ tition. Probably the most fun of the entire affair was enjoyed the following day : when the so-called prizes were award¬ ed. Principal Ewing ably shined the shoes of the champion Hartman, with Dr. D. F. Fox paying olf second prize by shining Garben’s walking apparel. Assistant Principal O’Mara was given the real hardship of the day when he was forced to shine both Miss Mowat’s and Miss Smith’s shoes. Colonel Bar- low shined Williard Downs’s and Bai- , ley W. Howard, head of the Physical Science department, finished the exhi¬ bition by giving Clifford Winchell the de lux shine of the day. which will be discussed is, “The Stand¬ ard method of awarding letters.” Heretofore each school has had differ¬ ent regulations regarding the award¬ ing of letters.

(Continued on Page 2) CONTRACT FOR BOYS’ GYM TO BE GIVEN The boys’ gym to be situated south of the grandstand is fast becoming a reality. What a short year ago was known to most students as the wilds of the Agriculture Department, is now the 'scene of much building activity. The foundation has been poured and workmen are now taking down the forms. Bids for the building are being ad¬ vertised for by the Board of Educa¬ tion and the contract will be let in a few days. It is the hopes of the school author¬ ities that the building will be complet¬ ed by the opening of school in Sep¬ tember. All the work so far has been done by the high school crew of workmen.
