Climaxing a week fraught with
activity, seniors and sophomores
today issue their official magazine,
Bred, and present their opera, “La
Grande Giuocuo,” in assembly. Vo-
Mag contest subscription sales
were engineered by class presi¬
dents and council members under
the direction of Business Manager
Jack Burtt, and both classes plan¬
ned to attend tonight’s Long
Beach game en masse. Large at¬
tendance at last night’s rally, ac¬
cording to Bud Paulson, pep com¬
missioner, was largely due to the
splendid cooperation of classes.
After weeks of silent prepara¬
tion, Bud Paulson, editor in chief
of Bred, presented his literary off¬
spring to the public today. It is
a 16-page magazine, replete with
“The innovation of the Sen¬
ior-Sophomore Week is one of
the finest steps forward toward
great class and school spirit and
is creating for the college a
more unified and compact or¬
ganization. It is a great day for
Pasadena.” — Student Body

Patrons Pass Resolution
Demanding Adequate
Assembly Spot
Featuring the work of art stu¬
dents, the art department was
host to the Pasadena junior col¬
lege patrons in their meeting last
Monday afternoon. According to
Patron Secretary Mrs Joseph
Paulson, the high point of the bus¬
iness meeting was the resolution
passed demanding an auditorium
or assembly hall large enough to
accomodate the entire student
body.
The resolution demanding the
auditorium states that, “An audi¬
torium or assembly hall large
enough to accomodate the entire
student' body, be built as one of
the first projects on the building
program.”
The program included a talk by
Dr. Glenn L. Lembke, who told of
his part as a coordinator between
the art department faculty and art
students. A. M. Wedemeyer, head
of the art department, reported on
the organization of the art courses.
John Ehlen, art teacher, explained
the humanities survey course, say¬
ing, “Art courses, included with
history and music courses in the
humanities survey, show how art
functions in real life.” Miss Helen
Hunt and Mrs. Mary McDonald, ol
the art department, displayed the
work of several students in the art
section.

Float Design
Contest Told
Deadline For Tournament
Entries Announced As
December 2
Offering an opportunity for stu¬
dents to display their artistic abil¬
ity, the annual Tournament of
Roses float design contest opened
last Monday to any student in a
junior high school, Muir Tech or
Pasadena junior college. The dead¬

M. Wedemeyer, head of the local
art department.
Three Win
The junior college had three
winners in last years contest,
Frederick Jennison, first place;
Dorothy Arthur, second place; and
Joyce Mansfield, third place. Mr.
Jennison, who was an art major
at the college, designed the float,
“The Firebird,’ which will undoubt¬
edly be remembered by all who
viewed the parade.
“Many interesting floats can be
imagined following the theme
‘Historical Events.’ Suggested
ideas, which are hardly necessary
since the field is so broad, cover
the scene of history from the Bat¬
tle of Hastings to Lindbergh’s epic
flight over the Atlantic,” said Mrs.
Mary McDonald, of the art depart¬
ment.
Rules Given
The contest is open to students
of the junior high schools, Muir
Tech and the junior college. The
first prize is to be $25, the second,
$15 and the third, $10. Any de¬
sign not winning a prize, but being
accepted by any company or city
to be used as their float will earn
$10 for its originator.

The first of the coming year’s
issue of “Vo-Mag,” the vocational
guidance magazine published three
times a year by the guidance de¬
partment, is to appear November
13, Dow Parkes, editor, announced.
Included in the table of contents

John A. Sexson, superintendent of
Pasadena city schools; Gilmor
Brown, director of the Pasadena
Community Playhouse ; Clifford
McBride, creator of “Napoleon and
Uncle Elby,” and Nelson Eddy,
well-known Hollywood baritone.
The issue is to be dedicated to sci¬
ence students and many articles of
scientific interest.
As Vo-Mag goes to press, the
ever-present feud between the sen¬
iors and sophomores is revived. A
contest between the two classes is
being held, to see which can sell
the most subscriptions in two
weeks of concentrated effort.
Soph Prexy Charles Braden said,
“With the help of the freshman
class, we hope to force the seniors
to submit the honors of victory to
us.”
In 1934 and 1935, Vo-Mag was
twice awarded All-American hon¬
ors by the National Scholastic
Press association. This rating
was won in competition which in¬
cluded the best of school publica¬
tions in the United States.
Besides the science and voca¬
tional articles in the issue, there
will be a short story, essays and
prize winning photographs of gen¬
eral interest. The story and es¬
says are by students of this
school.
The magazine costs 25 cents per
copy, but a subscription to the
three issues of this year may be
obtained at 60 cents. Eleventh
and twelfth grade students may
charge the price of a single copy
against their science laboratory
fee. Thirteenth and fourteenth
grade students may obtain a sub¬
scription to three copies on their
lab fees.

pons are on sale by the music de¬
partment for a series of operas
produced by J. J. Shubert of New
York in the Shrine auditorium,
in Los Angeles, according to Miss
Lula C. Parmley. These coupons
are priced at 25 cents and may be
exchanged for reserved seats at
the auditorium. Through the cour¬
tesy of the management a part of
the price of the coupons is re¬
tained by the departmept which
will probably be used for costum¬
ing the opera to be given this
spring.
Featured in the coming attrac¬
tions are the “Student Prince,”
“Countess Maritza,” “Blossom
Time,” and many other light
operas.
STUDENT COURT

nance are the judgments that stu¬
dents present may hear. Deisen¬
roth again emphasizes that these
court sessions are open to all who
care to attend.
Several minor violation cases are
also expected to be brought before
the bench of justice. A drive is
being started to halt the tearing
down of the publicity posters on
the campus.

To Fix Committees
For Affair
Climaxing the greatest and most spirited of pep rallies in the his¬
tory of Pasadena's rivalry with Long Beach junior college, Bull¬
dog students and faculty members of this school gathered last night
at Tournament Park to raise a growl of defiance to the Beach
City Jackrabbits, as a blazing pyre, the final resting place of a bunny
” * effigy, faded, Bud Paulson, pep
commissioner, stated.
A winding, shouting serpentine
of students ended the evening by
following the yell leaders and Bull¬
dog band to the bonfire, wherein
the effigy was placed. The crown¬
ing of “Smile Queens” Eloise
Jones, Carolyn Munn and Helen
Patterson, and the awarding of the
silver cup to the winner of the
annual Whiskerino contest came
as features of the rally.
Old clothes remained the cos¬
tume even at the dance, to which
all students were invited, at the
Civic auditorium, following the
celebration. Yell and song leaders
carried out the idea in dated re¬
galia, and appeared riding in a
model “T.” Yells and songs fur¬
thered this theme, with “Ta-ra-ra-
boom-de-ay,” verses by the pep
commission and chorus by the
stands, and “Hail, Hail, the Gang’s
All Here ” both part of the pro¬
gram.
Prominently featured on the
program was the chariot race be¬
tween the four classes, with the
junior, sophomore and freshman
class presidents driving. Instead
of Kit Cartwright, senior prexy,
Bob Neal, dressed as the senior
president, took the reins of the 25
upper classmen.
Bill Feasley, secretary of ath¬
letics, introduced members of both
Frosh and Varsity football teams
and Head Mentor Bob McNeish.

tion sponsored by the Lancers,
under the direction of Pat Pad-
dock, Lancer chieftain. Also in
charge of building the fire, the
organization spent _ Wednesday
night on guard against possible
attack of raiders from Long
Beach. Coffee was served mem¬
bers throughout the night by the
Spartans, women’s service organi¬
zation, as by the custom of years
past.
Plans for the freshman dance,
which will be held on December 6,
were discussed at the initial meet¬
ing of the freshman council. Bob
Stapleton, president, presided over
the meeting.
Chairmen of the class commit¬
tees who were appointed, are:

Florence King, decorations.
All freshmen are urged to hand
in any suggestions regarding the
dance to the chairmen of the com¬
mittees or to Bob Stapleton at the
Student Union building, he an¬
nounced. It was decided by the
council that at least one person
from every couple attending the
dance should be a freshman. Tick¬
ets will be 25 cents a couple.

Students Go
On Excursion
Tomorrow morning Edwin Van
Amringe and the geology classes
will leave the campus at 8:00 a. m.
in chartered busses to explore the
geological mysteries of Cajon Pass.
The first stop will be near Crest-
more, at the two quarries of the
Riverside Cement company. This
locality ranks second in the United
States for the amount of different
minerals found; they number over
75 between both quarries, which
are situated very closely together.
From here, the classes will go
to the San Bernardino junior col¬
lege, where they will examine the
San Jacinto fault which passes
through the middle of that campus.
The class will then travel north
into Cajon pass which has been
formed by the San Andreas fault;
this fault is the longest in the
world, and is the one on which the
San Francisco earthquake occurred.
The trip will terminate when the
summit of Cajon pass is reached,
from which point can be seen a
view of the desert.
Yesterday Mr. Van Amringe
took a group of volunteer students
into the Millard and Los Flores
canyons to study -the effects of
flood danger as caused by the re¬
cent forest fires in that region.
CLUB PRACTICES
The women’s rifle club began
their practice shooting last Wed¬
nesday at a meeting in the base¬
