Pasadena Chronicle, November 03, 1922

W9 VOL. XIV PASADEN A, CALIFORNIA, NOVEMBER 3, 1922 FRATERNITIES WILL N01 OE TOLERATED IN PASADENA HIGH There is No Way of Reading Around the State Anti- Fraternity Law STUDENT IS SUSPENDED Chronicle is to Publish State¬ ments of All Students Being Questioned Some students in the high school are under the impression that they can be inactive members of frater¬ nities or sorrorities without violat¬ ing the state law in this regard. This impression is a wrong one, as one student who was suspended from school last week found out to his displeasure. The law does not draw such a fine line of distinction as between active and inactive members, but says that students who are mem¬ bers of secret organizations in the high school must be dropped from the school enrollment. For the protection of those stu¬ dents who have not violated the law, but who are being hinted about by some of their fellow stu¬ dents as belonging to secret organ¬ izations, the Chronicle will publish signed statements of the individu¬ als in question. Original copies of these statements are kept on file in the office of the principal. Joseph Sill, president of the Senior class, has gone on record, being the first to sign the following statement: To students, teachers, and the Pasadena Board of Education: I, Joseph Sill, am informed that it is rumored about school that I belong to a high school secret fra¬ ternity. I hereby affirm that there is ab¬ solutely no truth to this rumor. I do not now belong to a high school secret club, or society, nor have I at any time since January 24, 1922, violated the California Anti-Fra¬ ternity law. (Signed) JOSEPH SILL Martin Scott, Commissioner of Finance and Charles Mack, Com¬ missioner of Athletics, have signed the same statement. CITY STUDENT PRESIDENTS VISIT PASADENA P. H.

CALIF GIRLS’ LEAGUES TO BE HELD IN LONG BEACH Pasadena will send five delegates to the Girls’ Leagues of Southern California convention to be held at Long Beach on the tenth and eleventh of November. The delegates will be Miss Nellie Greene Clarke, dean of girls, Grace Burns, president of the Girls’ League; and Elsabeth Lesh, treas¬ urer, on Friday. On Saturday, No¬ vember lith, the Pasadena repre¬ sentatives will be Miss Clarke, Al- lene Strubel, vice-president of the League, and Edith Peterson, secre¬ tary. Grace Burns says that the most important subject to be considered will probably be the uniform ques¬ tion. At the convention it may be decided to enforce the uniform throughout the Southern California high schools. Another topic for discussion will be the Pasadena four-department system of organ¬ ization, which distributes the work equally among the four officers and gives more girls a chance to serve. OFFICER’S CLASS FORMED BY COLONEL BARLOW All during last year the R. О. T. C. officers and non-commissioned officers had a class in military tac¬ tics, formed for the purpose of hav¬ ing the officers together so that they could talk over the problem of the unit and recommend certain changes that they felt would help ] the battalion. This year the military depart¬ ment has again considered it nec¬ essary to have this class. All of the officers and the first sergeants of the battalion are now required to attend the class, which is held during the first advisory period in the military office. Col. Warren S. Barlow says that “Before the week is over the effect of the system will be noticed on th drill ground.” High school students may join S the new Masonic order of De Molay Chapter for boys, according to a ; statement by high state and city officials. This point was brought up when the officials were asked if | this organization is in violation of. i the state law covering secret organ¬ ization membership. The state law states that the anti-fraternity act does not affect the Native Sons and kindred organ¬ izations. It has been ruled that the De Molay Order is such an or¬ ganization which does not violate the anti-fraternity law. The insti¬ tution of a chapter in Pasadena is set for Friday, November 10. To join this order boys must be between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one. All boys desirous of joining should make application immediately. Application blanks may be had from any of the mem¬ bers of the Advisory Council. It is urged that all boys wishing to be¬ come charter members secure the blanks at once, as the council must act on them before the order is in¬ stituted. Those on the Council are F. B. Cole, Chairman; John F. West, W. L. Leishman, Charles H. Prisk, Leslie E. Learned, J. S. Hisey, E. L. Pauley, and Oscar Swanson.

Both will meet at 11 o’clock in the main auditorium for the purpose of get¬ ting acquainted, later going to lec¬ ture rooms. Mme.

At a previous sale of this kind, the class cleared about the same amount, and so much more is expected from this latest sale. The money is to be used for the class gift, or other class pur¬ poses, at the end of the year.
