G.A.R. Veterans ’ FIFE AND DRUM CORPS Leads March in Assembly to Pay Honor to Fallen Warriors (j a c. alien a qjtyccmide All-American and Medalist Newspaper of Pasadena Junior College Students to Have RESPITE MONDAY WHEN Memorial Day Offers Chance To Acquire Collegiate Tan or Sunburn VoL XXIII PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, MAY 27, 1932 No. 29 J.C. LANCERS ARE GAINING FINAL STRIDE Membership of Phalanx Is Enlarge! to Total Of Eighteen OFFICERS ARE ELECTED Spearmen Will Do ‘Chores' In Addition to Patrol Duties Its membership already swelled to 18, the Lancers, new P. J. C. service club, is rapidly taking final form under the guiding hand of Bill Thomas, president. At a meeting held last Monday, other officers were elected, new men were suggested, an emblem com¬ mittee was detailed and duties were outlined. Correct Impression To correct the -jrroneous impres¬ sion that the black-sweatered ser¬ vice men will act only as campus guardsmen, Thomas points out that “the lancers are chosen not because they make good policemen, but be¬ cause they are men with ability and desire to serve their school.’” Besides patroling the campus then, the members will also have such duties as distributing Com¬ mencement programs, receiving vis¬ itors, and simlar jobs. Lancer Roster To date the Lancer roll call bears the following names, all of which have been approved by the Board of Representatives: Bill Thomas, president; Les Miller, vice-presi¬ dent; Lambert Westling, secretary; Jack Young, treasurer. Bill Baillie, Charles Carter, Ned Thomas, Bill Ramsay, Jack Atkin¬ son, Aaron Ehmke, Vincent Fite, Bob Heimann, Bill Sorenson, Brant¬ ley Erwin, Bob Coop, Len Emery, Eric Emery, and Ted Ross.

VETERANS HONOR WAR HEROES - ♦ - Civil War Songs Entertain Venerable Guests In Traditional Memorial Assembly - f - Led by the fife and drum corps, members of the G. A. R. and its auxiliaries marched into the auditorium this morning to do honor to the memory of departed comrades and boys who gave their lives in France. Club Council Group Halts 11-1 Rushing No more rushing or bidding of 11-1 students into restrictive clubs will be permitted, ordered the inter- restrictive club council in a 19 to 1 vote Wednesday. Ending a controversy that always has been before the school, this rul¬ ing was passed to give new stu¬ dents an opportunity to become established in the institution and to offer clubs a chance to make a wiser choice of members, according to Joyce Dunkerley, president of the group. “This is the most forward step that the council has ever taken,” Miss Catherine J. Robbins, adviser, asserted. Contestants Take Chemistry Exams — ♦— One hundred and forty eight stu¬ dents from 42 schools took the three hour examination last Saturday composing the chemistry со n t e s t held at U. S. C. Results are expect¬ ed soon. Ten major questions with 4 4 items made up the test. Dorothy Waterhouse, an alternate, was al¬ lowed to take the test. “The chemistry contest commit¬ tee wish to express their apprecia¬ tion to the faculty and students who have cooperated with us,” said Coach G. W. Josten. The veterans of America’s civil war visited only P. J. C. this year, although in former years their ap¬ pearance on Memorial Day pro¬ grams has been a tradition in other schools throughout the city. In honor of the venerable guests, com¬ bined glee clubs and other musical organizations of the school gave a ten-minute program of civil war songs. While the glee clubs gathered in the balcony, the Nysaean singers stood back-stage to produce an an- tiphonal echo effect. Their medley included: “When Johnny -Comes Marching Home,” “Battle Cry of Freedom,” “Just Before the Battle, Mother,” “Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,” and “Long, Long Ago.” With Robert Hendricks as soloist, the Euterpeans carolled “When the Flag Goes By.” The second part of the program was opened by Frederick Parmley. At the conclusion of his offering wreaths were carried in by Made- laine Currie, Margaret Johnson. Sydney Edwards and Bob Coop and placed on the flag-covered plaque containing names of P. H. S. boys who died on the battle-fields of France. Bob Coop read the poem “In Memoriam.” News Channel Undercurrents Books Taken For A Ride Seniors and Sophs Practise Melodies Commencement music was re¬ hearsed for the first time by gradu¬ ating seniors and sophomores in the auditorium yesterday before school. One more practice will be held before the ceremony for which there will be but one drill in the Rose Bowl. Putting aside heavy Latin tomes, science apparatus, and history maps, junior college students this afternoon will be¬ gin a three day holiday. Of those Bulldogs who will be propelled into beach and moun¬ tain atmosphere, many will at¬ tempt to forget all solemnities while searching for the stars in ocean waves and shady streams. Others will be weighed down by studies which are more adhes¬ ive than the Old Man of the Sea. Few will remember the pur¬ pose of the extra 24 hours for which respite was granted, Memorial Day, although some will decorate the graves of war heroes and watch a parade of soldiers and flags. Repudiating tjhe statement that airplanes now do not interest ex¬ perienced city students, an entire class rushed to the windows Mon¬ day when a group of some 80 ether-sailers passed over P. J. C. with terrific buzz and roar. Perhaps feeling the need of an education, or perhaps feel¬ ing only the necessity of food, numerous flies, awakened by the warm weather, have been bothering students this week. Quick teacher, tne phlit. — 4— Whether a number of junior col¬ lege pledges are coming or going is a matter of speculation among the rest of the school, since skirts, collars, and ties are reversed, caus¬ ing the observer to be extremely dizzy.

Those wishing to wear the commencement cos¬ tumes must sign up in the outer office of Miss Catherine J. Rob¬ bins, dean of women. An apparatus to reverse the aud¬ itorium curtain and two more bor¬ der drops for the stage, comprise the choice of the combined senior- sophomore committee, for the class gift. A report to this effect will be submitted to the class councils on Monday, when the final decision will be made. Because this apparatus will cost from $700 to $800, the committees decided to combine and present on¬ ly one gift from both classes. Bill Dunkerly, chairman, Lorraine Smith, and Margaret Bowen repre¬ sented the seniors in making the se¬ lection, while Leonard Emery, chairman, Bill Sorenson, and Flor¬ ence Kennedy acted for the sopho¬ mores. PRO.M FOR DANCERS, NON-DANCERS Assuring entertainment for danc¬ ers and non-dancers alike, negotia¬ tions are being made by Miss Eliza¬ beth Wheeler, senior class adviser, for a one-hour performance of the (Continued on Page S) Chairman BILL DUNKERLEY Chairman of the Senior Gift Committee, Which, Along With The Sophomore Committee, Has Chosen the Graduating Gift.

Complimentary copies have been sent to a number of outstanding literary magazines of the nation which will print some of the best verses, and a number of volumes have been given to the review sec¬ tions of numerous well-known news¬ papers. Junior college libraries also have obtained copies. Anyone wishing to sell books to their friends may receive the pub¬ lications from Miss McClay or from the English office.

With “Spirit of Olympics” as its theme, the meeting will be carried out in a happy-go-lucky, enthusas- tic, and “noisy” manner, according to Bill Thomas, A. M.
