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.

BANK ENDEAVORS TO GIVE

For the convenience of the stu¬

fifth, sixth, and seventh periods.
Later in the year, J. A. Anderson,
head of the Commercial depart¬
ment, will try to have it open all
day. At present the tellers are not
j quite efficient enough.
SAN DIEGO HERE
TOMORROW
WHO? Pasadena Lightweights
vs. San Diego Lightweights.
WHERE? Horrell Field.
WHEN? Tomorrow af t e r -
noon at 2:30.
WHY? To help decide the
Southern California Lightweight
Championship.
Pasadena’s Lightweights are
walking away with the 130
pound championship so far, but
this game with San Diego may
change the averages of both
teams considerably. It is said
that San Diego’s vest-pocket
edition is about the classiest
thing in the South. Coach Bak¬
er’s proteges, however, are plan¬
ning on taking them down the
line. This is the Lightweight’s
first big game, and Pasadena
High School in full force is ex¬
pected to be out tomorrow to
support them.
CONVENTION OF SO. 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.

Members of the Modem Lan¬
guage department are looking for¬
ward to the meeting of that asso¬
ciation which is to be held tomor¬
row, November 4. Santa Ana High
School is to be the host this year.
Since the meeting which was held
last spring at Pasadena High
School was asserted by many to be
a great success, it is expected that
this wil be enjoyed and appreciated
by all who attend.
The convention is to be divided
into two divisions, one for Spanish
teachers, another for French. Both
will meet at 11 o’clock in the main
auditorium for the purpose of get¬
ting acquainted, later going to lec¬
ture rooms.

School has arranged for Spanish
music which is expected to be de¬
lightful.
Professor Lawrence Riddel of
the University of Southern Cali¬
fornia will address the French sec¬
tion on a subject to be chosen by
him. There will probably be a few
selections of French music.
At 12:30 luncheon will be served
and at that time Dr. Bush, Profes¬
sor of Roman Languages at Uni¬
versity of California Southern
Branch, will speak. After the
luncheon a business meeting will be
held. (
Among those expecting to go

Misses Ida E. Hawes, Isabelle A.

PROCEEDS OF SENIOR
CLASS SALE ARE LARGE
Proceeds realized from the candy
and soda pop sale of the Senior
class last Monday at the game, are
expected to exceed thirty dollars,
according to Joseph Sill, president
of the class. 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.
