IV— NO. 3 PASADENA HIGH SCHOOL, NOVEMBER 1, 1916, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA PRICE 2 CENTS ENGINEERS HAVE ONE OF BEST GLUBS Members Now Planning Work for Year; Many Interesting Assemblies to Be Held Membership Rapidly Increasing and Half-Century Mary to Be Reached Soon One of the first of the several stu¬ dent clubs to be organized this year was the Engineers Club. As the new officers are elected and the club well started, plans are being made for what is hoped wjll be the best year in the club’s history. The first meeting of the year was called to order by former Vice-President Walter Mettier in the absence of last year’s president, George Whitworth. In the election of officers, Donald McCreery was unanimously elected president, there being no other candi¬ date. The vice president, Clark Ryder, was also elected unanimously, for every other nominee declined to run against him. Clyde Keith was elected secretary-treasurer. As soon as the new officers had taken over the affairs of the club, nAyubership cards were issued for the coming year. Permission was obtained from Principal Cross to use these membership cards in place of transfer slips on days when meetings are offi¬ cially announced. However, students must show their cards to their third period teachers and then fill out slips at the meeting to show that they really attended the meeting and did not go out in the back yard to see the cows and chickens or across the street to get an ice cream soda. As the membership of the Engineers Club is now over forty and it is ex¬ pected that quite a number more will join in the next few weeks, the real activities of the club will commence at once. A moving picture, “Great En¬ gineering Feats,” will be shown as soon as a date can be arranged. As often as possible other moving pic¬ tures on similar subjects will be shown. Some time in the near future the club will make an excursion to the Home Telephone Company’s automatic switchboard, which operates without the familiar “hello-girl.” At the last meeting, on the sugges¬ tion of Miss Neal, it was decided to have a special shelf in the library for books and magazines containing arti¬ cles of interest to members of the club. It is also planned to have sev¬ eral addresses by prominent engineers read before the club. The officers of the Engineers Club wish to make it clear that anyone in¬ terested in any branch of engineering or applied science who has attended high school for a year or more is elig- ih'e for membership. OLD GLO’SE DAY TO BE MARKED AT PASADENA HIGH Girls! Boys! Faculty! Hear and obey! November third has been select¬ ed by the august commissioners as “Old Clothes Day.” Treasured rags are to be dragged forth and P. H. S. masculinity will appear in all the faded glory of years gone by. The reason? Football with San Diego next Saturday. After the team has sufficiently put on the kibosh a serpentine in “Old Clo’se” will be the finishing touch. Imag¬ ine the superfluous spirit hitherto wasted by not having a game on the same day. Now this will all go to help win the game. The august commission has spoken, the faculty has consented, therefore, tremble and obey. Dip into the ancestral remains and make “Old Clo’se Day” the biggest ever. Action Photographs of Saturday’s Big Game Г? FORESTERS LINING UP FOR YEAR OF Led by President Paul Carter, Members Expect to Make Good Showing for Year Trips and Assemblies to Keep Members Posted; Intense Interest to Follow Moves GEORGE JUNIUR MAN TALKS T0_STU DENTS Superintendent Waterhouse Tells of Work and Ideals of Small Republic In the assembly of last Tuesday, Superintendent Waterhouse of the George Junior Republic told of the work and ideals of that institution’ and at the same time gave very good ad¬ vice. Mr. Waterhouse told of the oppor¬ tunity that is being given to the boys of the Republic to find out in what line they will be most successful, and io trail; themselves in that line of *ark. On the two hundred acre ranch i® Chino they have a farm, a printing shop, a cook house, and many other industrial plants where the hoys get practical experience. : As proof of the wonderful work that If being done Mr. Waterhouse told of the fine record of some of the hoys after leaving the Republic. Many of these boys have taken important and ying positions in the business world ahd all have proven to be successful. Mr. Waterhouse gives as his for¬ mula for success: Pluck, purpose, plan, push, and perseverance. With th ose qualities, it is almost impossible to fail in the battle of life. After several excusable delays the Forestry Club has got under way for a successful year. The first meeting was held during the second week of school and the following officers elect¬ ed: Paul Carter, president; Donald Blick, vice president, and Verne Smith, sedretai;y-treasurer. With these en¬ thusiastic leaders the club is bound to be a big success this year. At the second meeting, held last Monday, thirty were present. Presi¬ dent Carter in a fitting address out¬ lined the club’s work for the year. The program will include moving pic¬ tures, illustrated lectures, excursions, and talks by men noted in the forestry world. These programs will consist of the best material obtainable. Through the offices of President Carter, the Forestry Club has invited the Engineers Club to share in its moving picture programs. The Engi- needs Club has very liberally extended the same privileges to the Forestry Club. As the subjects of forestry and engineering are very closely related, this exchange of courtesies will be of mutual benefit. At the meeting last Monday, twenty- five cents was accepted as the annual dues and fifteen cents for one sem¬ ester. This money will be used to finance excursions and pay for the slides and moving pictures used dur¬ ing the year. The first moving picture -will be shown Tuesday. President Car¬ ter is endeavoring to obtain the pic¬ ture “Blazing the Trail in the Sierras.” This will be free to club members. An opportunity will be afforded those who wish to join to do so, before that time. As a factuly representative was nec¬ essary, nominations were opened for that office. After a spirited contest between Mr. Foster and Mr. Carter, Mr. Foster was elected as the repre¬ sentative. Persons going to the library have probably noticed the pine tree poster display on the magazine rack. Through the kindness of Miss Skinner, the Forestry Club has established a for¬ estry library for the use of its mem¬ bers. All hooks ahd pamphlets on the subject of forestry will he found here. This should be a convenience to those interested in the subject of forestry. President Carter urged all the mem¬ bers to subscribe for the “American Forestry,” adopted as the official organ of the club. This magazine is brim full of articles of interest to the for¬ ester or enthusiast of the forest. The subscription price is $3.00 per year. Subscriptions may be handed to Paul Carter or Verne Smith. It has been learned with regret dur¬ ing the past week that President Paul Carter is going north in a week or ten days. This loss will be greatly felt by all his friends and members of the club. _ ■ ■ ТШЗВт. , - : ;3PvP ■ . , . . mm ЖШШ PASADENA BULLDOGS GO IN HONORABLE DEFEAT DOWN BEFORE BIG GHAFFEY UNION HUSKIES Pasadena Men Taste First Defeat in Three Years at the Hands of Chaffeyites. Big Fullback Plows Through Pasa¬ dena Lines for Two Touchdowns FIRST ISSUE OF ITEM SOON TO APPEAR AT ML S. Editorial Staff Reports First Effort Will Be Hummer; Nifty Stories Included New Form and Style to Be Used in Getting Out This Year’s Item; To Be Best Yet By RALPH HOSLER Fighting with all the old time Bulldog tenacity, under a great handicap, and against what is perhaps the heaviest high school team in the state, the Pasadena Varsity went down to defeat before the mighty Chaffee Union team, by a score of 13 to 0. Owtweighed ten pounds to the man on the line, and ten in the ba^kfield, the old Bull¬ dogs by pure downright grit and aggressiveness kept the Unionites from scoring but twice. The Chaffee team had but one man who was able to gain yards against the scrappy Bulldogs. Miller, their big fullback, 'who looks like a mountain of flesh, with children in the Old Soldiers home, was their only ground gainer throughput the entire game. He, alone, repeatedly made yards for the visitors. The game opened with Pasadena receiving. They rushed the b%ll to the Chaffee fifteen yard line, but fumbled. After forcing the husky Chaffeyites to punt, they again pushed the pigskin to the Chaffey fifteen yard line, where the visitors held them. An attempted forward pass failed, then Chaffey started down the field. They did not get very far, for invariably, although they made first downs, they were repeatedly penalized for holding or using their hands. The first, quarter ended with'the ball in Chaff ey’s possession in the center of the field. The second quarter ended with Chaffey going through the Pasa¬ dena line for large gains. Their fullback, the only man who was able to make a single yard, plowed through the Crimson and White for fifteen yards at a swat. With the ball on the Pasadena five yard line1, he smashed through the line for the first touchdown of the day. He failed to convert. Again, Chaffey, after forcing Captain Steve Horrell’s Bulldogs to kick, began a resistless march down the field. Using the same style of play (they only had one style, and ONE man), they again pushed across another touchdown. Miller con¬ verted. The half ended with the score, Chaffey 13, Pasadena 0. When play started in the second half, it could be plainly seen that the Bulldogs meant business. Cass Smith shot around their ends for fifteen yards at a swat, Wally Chishol mpunched holes in their line like a steel nosed bullet going through tissue paper, and friend Royal Wilke stepped out around the end for many a yard. However, after advancing the oval to the Chaffee five yard line, they were held for downs. Chaffee punted, and the Bulldogs again began their de¬ termined march down the field. The result was the same as before, for after carrying the pighide to the Chaffey five yard line again, they were held, and Chaffey punted into safer territory. The quarter ended with the score unchanged. The last quarter was a repetition of the third. The Bulldogs kept the ball inside the Chaffey forty yard line, every man fighting like warriors of old. Four consecutive times, Bobby Schlaudeman signalled forward passes, and received the said passes himself. But the Seayites could not push across a touchdown. Try as they might the big farmers' from the pumpkin region held them in check. The half ended with the game Chaffey’s, 13 to Pasadena’s 0. Although this was not a league game, and counts nothing toward the championship, the defeat came rather hard to the Pasadena lads. For the first time in three years, they tasted defeat. But they re¬ ceived their whipping like real, true sportsmen, the kind who inhabit Pasadena High. There was no whining or no “ifs.” “We were licked by a better team, that’s all,” was all they had to say. This game was in reality a practice contest. Coach Seay tried most of his new plays, and several of his extra men. They certainly had some practice. Especially the line. Chaffey’s huge fullback gave them enough practice to last them some time. The one distinguishing feattire of the game was the spectacular work of' Cass Smith, at right half. Cass is Captain Brant Gard over and ovei- again. He has a fast getaway, is shifty on his feet, and is a fighter to the eery ccire. Time after time, Cass plunged ten yards 1 twith three or four Chaffee men clinging to, him. This game was : (Continued ой Page, 4) The prevailing and expectant ques^ tion, “When is the first Item coming out?” will be answered today when the first Item will appear to answer this question in person. It certainly is to be a publication with superlative quality throughout, for to begin with Viola House is hand¬ ling the art department and has made a good start, as the cover of this pub¬ lication will more than satisfy all ex¬ pectations. Not only this, but the Item is to be different in size, and many, other com- .mendable changes are to appear. First and foremost there are to be no ad¬ vertisements and this fact should be enthusiastically greeted, for, as a re¬ sult, there can be more stories, illus¬ trations and jokes. In connection with the stories should be mentioned the prize story written by no other than Ralph Hosier. The latter fact is worthy recommendation for knowing that Blackie’s interests lie chiefly in live subjects and activi¬ ties, it is natural to expect a vividly interesting and gripping story. In ad¬ dition to the prize story there are four or five others well worth reading. The chief aim in regard to jokes has been directed toward the attainment of jokes that are new and are all that the name joke implies; and those read¬ ing the Item will see that the aim has hardly been without success. Everyone favors an illustrated mag¬ azine, especially if the illustrations are of interest, such as pictures of the football team or snapshots of interest around the campus and this issue will disappoint no one in this respect. The staff, who have accomplished this work, are for the most part stu¬ dents who have before had erperience dealing with school publications, and consists of the following: Margaret Mitchell, Editor. Viola House, Kenneth Fuessle, Mr. Jackson, Helen Atkinson, Harriet Hunt, Associate Editors. Maurice Wynn, Managing Editor. On the whole this first publication is worthy of the school and points to¬ ward the unattainable goal, perfection for the issues to follow. - STARTS VOYAGE FOR PROSPEROUS TEAR Organization Reports Much Money Left Over From Last Year’s Efforts Many Members Signed Up for Hard Work During Coming Year; Much Pep Shown MID-TERM FRESHMEN ARE ENTHUSIASTIC In a short but Important meeting of the Commercial Club last Wednesday several matters of interest to all mem¬ bers were taken up. As the constitution calls for a pri¬ mary election in which one member of each class in commercial subjects is nominated for membership in the Junior Board of Trade, the officers were authorized to hold this primary the next day. The final election will be held in the near future. The treasurer’s report showed that of the $67.95 left over from the year before and taken in last year $67.78 was spent, leaving a balance of 17 cents on which to begin the year. Mr. Lewis, “the father of the Com¬ mercial Club,” explained the object of the club and told of its wonderful growth in the last six years. Six years ago when the club was started it met in a small class-room and now there is hardly room for all in the lecture room. The Commercial Club is one of the livest and most important organiza¬ tions in P. H. S. It is organized for commercial students, and problems which are of interest to all in this line are discussed at the meetings, which are held monthly. During the year various men of note address the club, and this has proved one of the most popular and helpful branches of the work, as advice from men who have made good in hetir special line is always more interest¬ ing than theory alone. The Junior Board of Trade is un¬ doubtedly one of the most influential bodies in school. It takes the same place in school as the Senior Board of Trade does in the city. The members are selected from the members of the Commercial Club by a popular vote Of the members. Those who were nominated at the primary for membership in the Board are: LeRoy Watson, Walter Mettier, Jerome McManus, Arvid Hellberg, Grayce Brisley, Edith Ward, Wynette Bedall, Victor Jacomini, Anna Pfeifer, Arthru Ferguson, Robert Cline, Percy Ubil, Richard Hampson, DeWitt Ma- cey, Lester Groetzinger, Douglas Zed- iker, Gladys Kimball, Anita Kessler, Maurice Wynn, William Holmes, Mar¬ garet Mitchell, Calesta James, Stacey Mettier, Irye Townsend, Harold But- terworth, Harold Perkins, Emmett Jones, Russell Johnson, Parker Lyon, Marion Reineck, Joe Cuion, George Robbins. Elect Officers and Make Plans for Coming Year With Much Eclat This Year Marks Second Year of Mid - Term Class as Separate Organization Showing an abundance of enthusi¬ asm and school spirit, over fifty 9-2 freshmen held their first class meeting on Monday of last week. Much inter¬ est was displayed in the election of officers. As there were no previous officers to take charge of the meeting until new ones could be elected, Com¬ missioner of Public Welfare Eugenia Ong presided over the meeting. Special interest was shown in the election for the offices of vice presi¬ dent, secretary, and treasurer, three people being nominated for vice presi¬ dent, four for secretary, and four for treasurer. A tie in the vote for vice president made another vote for this office necessary. The officers for the coming year are : Roscoe Cline, president; Marion Mil¬ ler, vice president; Edward Ashcroft, treasurer; and Gladys Strong, secre¬ tary. Miss Sabel was unanimously elected class advisor. Royal Wilke reminds himself of many hard hours of practice on the gridiron; reminds us of a second Bfant Gard at defense and a whirl¬ wind offense man. BEAGHITES EDIT WEEKLY WAIL AT LONCBEACH HIGH Long Beach High has again fol¬ lowed the lead of P. H. S. and this year has started a weekly school paper. This newcomer in the field of high school journalism is known to the outside world by the auspic¬ ious cognomen of “High Life” and is fairly living up to its name. While still a three column sheet, published by a class in journalism, “High Life” is brimful of pep and enthusiasm. Its stories are short and snappy, but succeed in cover¬ ing the ground. Two or three good editorials, a letter from the prin¬ cipal, notes of the old grads, some jokes, and a couple of cartoons go to make up this enterprising pa¬ per. Although ail the student clubs are well represented, society news is entirely lacking, and sports only bring forth one story. John Couch and Donald Williams compose the editorial staff, while Herbert Lounsberry and George Brown handle the financial end of the paper. The high school print shop is called in to help in the publication, thus making it inde¬ pendent, so far as haughty print¬ ers go. It’s a paper that is well worth while and the Chronicle wishes it the best of success. Good luck, “High Life.”
