CONFERENCE
DEBATES TO
START DEC. 6
Installment Plan of Buying
Is to Be Discussed in
First Argument
PRACTICE DEBATE DUE
“Modern Women” Argument
Won and “Motor Vehicle”
Question Lost
- ♦ -
“Resolved: That the installment
plan is detrimental to the welfare
of society,” is the question decided
upon by the debate league for con¬
ference debates, the first of which
will be held December 6. This
question was Pasadena’s first choice
among* the six submitted to the
schools of the league. Each school
will furnish both an affirmative
and a negative team, although op¬
ponents have not yet been an¬
nounced.
Elva Emerson, present debate
manager, is preparing* a schedule
of practice debates on that ques¬
tion with the U.S.C. frosh; with
Loyola college; some near-by high
schools who have previously de¬
bated the question; and some jun¬
ior colleges who are not in our di¬
vision of the cnference.
The entire squad is divided into
tentative teams and through a se¬
ries of pre-season debates, a final
selection will be made. Competi¬
tion is very keen among the mem¬
bers of the squad, no one having
an edge over anyone else.
One debate won and one debate
lost is the record of Pasadena last
week. Barbara Philips and Mark
Gares, upholding the affirmative
of the question, “Resolved: That
modern woman is a failure”, won
their debate by a vote of 21 to 7
in the afternoon.
By a vote of 19 to 7, Glendale
won the decision on the motor ve¬
hicle question. Alfred Escherich
and Edward Davis debated the
question in the evening.
Glenn Lembke, debate coach,
says, “Miss Philips and Mr. davis
made a good showing on the de¬
livery of their speeches for the
constructive case. Miss Philip’s
ability not to commit herself in
cross-examination places her as a
strong contender for the confer¬
ence team. Mr. Gates rebuttal
speech was very well handled, and
with further practice he should
make a strong debater. Mr. Es-
cherich’s rebuttal speech was a
vast improvement over any pre¬
vious work done.”
Advertising Oratorical
Tryouts November 12,13
“Tryouts for the oratorical ad¬
vertising contest will be held No¬
vember 12 and 13,” says Miss Nell
Remsberg, adviser. “Although many
students are now composing their
speeches, sufficient time is still left
for any student interested in en¬
tering* the contest.”
Seven entrants will be chosen to
compete for the silver cup given
the winner on November 25.

Topic at Dinner
Teachers to Play
at Xmas Frolic
The faculty family Christmas
party will be held this year on Fri¬
day evening, December 8, in the
school cafeteria. This party has
become an annual social affair for
the teachers, and gives new mem¬
bers an opportunity to become ac¬
quainted with the regular ones. All
members are asked, by the Fellow¬
ship committee sponsoring* the af¬
fair, to save the date. The com¬
mittee is under the chairmanship
of Miss Ida Shrode, of the com-
World friendship will be the
subject of a dinner-meeting for all
women students at the downtown
Y. W. C. A., Wednesday, Novem¬
ber 6, between 5 and 7 p. m. Miss
Henrietta Thompson, national stu¬
dent secretary of friendly relations,
will be the speaker.
The meeting will be between 5
and 6 p. m., and the dinner will
new I follow. An exhibit of articles, rep-
| resenting foreign countries, will be
displayed before the session. Cos¬
tumes, weaving, and other objects
of art will characterize life in the
countries of India, Burma, Spain,
France, China, Japan, Switzer¬
land, Wales, Germany, Cuba, Chile,
Mexico, Norway, and Sweden.
The general topic of the meeting
will be world friendship, which
will be observed by the entire
world the week of November 10-17.
Miss Thompson will speak on her
tour of Europe this summer with
the junior jolly-up, according to
Hugh Anderson, president. This
affair is to be the first get-together
party planned for the junior class
by its executive committee. A
junior - frosh jinx will be held
later in the month.
Entertainment in the auditorium
will start at 8 p. m., preceding the
dance, in charge of committees
composed of members of the junior
class who have come to P. J. C.
from outside schools. No juniors
from P. J. C. are taking part in
the entertainment. For the dance
in the girls’ gym, following the en¬
tire general tertainment in the auditorium, the
music will be furnished by the Oxy
orchestra.
This affair is for juniors only,
to the extent that one of a couple
must be a full-fledged junior. Jun¬
ior memberships must be traded
for a ticket, or a ticket may be
bought for fifty cents at the west
student body office. All juniors
are urged to buy their member¬
ships, as it will be much cheaper
to spend fifty cents once than it
will be to spend it three or four
times in order to attend various
functions.
Committees in charge of the af¬
fair are headed by Clarence Vei-
terli, the dance committee with
George Jepson as chairman, and*

The adoption of q code of ethics
for Pasadena teachers was one of
the significant things accomplish¬
ed at the semi-annual meeting of
the Pasadena Teacher: Associa¬
tion held on October 10, with prac¬
tically 100 per cent attendance.
The code is the result of six
months of work on the part of a
special committee of the Associa¬
tion, but more than five hundred
Pasadena teachers have had a
hand in its construction since it
was submitted to the whole teach¬
ing body last spring.
The October and April meetings
of the Association are called joint¬
ly by the Superintendent and the
president of the teachers’ organi¬
zation, half of the time being tak¬
en by each. George
Й.
Meredith,
Assistant Superintendent, addres¬
sed the meeting on the subject of
“Education in a Changing World”.
He told of the necessity for all
school people to remain in a frame
of mind to make constant adap¬
tation to new conditions posible,
as this is the only way that will
enable children to get the most
out of their school experience.
Educators, above all others, should
maintain the forward look.
Miss Beaulah Coward, president
of the teachers’ organization, in¬
troduced other officers; and Mrs.
Frances Smith, social chairman,
told of plans for the “Dixie Din¬
ner” to be given by the teachers
on November 15. Miss Maude
Glenn made an informal report of
her attendance at the National
Education Association during the
past summer, and Miss Elston
Glenn paid a tribute to two teach¬
ers who have died since the close
of school last year — Catherine
Townsend and Edith M. Wolfe.
That teachers’ organizations all
over California are becoming in-
creasinly concerned with certain
aspects of the tenure law and
their own obligations towards its
improvement, was the opinion of
F. L. Thurston, executive secre¬
tary of the southern section of the
State Association, who spoke
briefly on the subject. Mr. Thurs¬
ton was followed by Roy W. Cloud
general secretary of the Sate or¬
ganization, who had made a spe¬
cial trip from San Francisco to be
present at this meeting.
Mr. Cloud Commended Pasade¬
na teachers on their action in a-
dopting a code of ethics and told
of the awakening spirit in teach¬
ers’ organizations all over the
state as evidenced by a better re¬
cognition of the problems involved
in the questions of the tenure and
retirement laws. He traced the le¬
gislative program of last year
and the constructive part school
people took in it but said that ma¬
ny things still unsettled called for
the best thought of all teachers in
the near future.
