Ж ' VOL. XVIII PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, NOVEMBER 4, 1926 No. 5. WOMEN STUDENTS fcPLAN NUMEROUS EVENTS FOR YEAR In order that P. J. C. may attain a social life which will compare favorably with that of larger colleges, members of the A. W. S., at a meeting last Fri¬ day, planned a series of activities designed to bring about this con¬ dition. To promote closer acquaintances such as cannot be made in the classroom, the women have plan¬ ned a picnic for the faculty on November 15 at Oak Park. Each member will bring a teacher as her special guest. The A. W. S. will stage a fashion show November 17, the proceeds of which will defray ex¬ penses of the annual football ban¬ quet which they are sponsoring. This novel attraction should be a huge success, and should set a precedent for similar future events. These major affairs will be fol¬ lowed by weekly teas, in charge of Miss Nellie Greene Clarke, dean of women. The garden par¬ ties will continue until the be¬ ginning of Christmas vacation, December 20. _ During the meeting Friday, Oe- tavie de Beaulieu, ’27, gave a re¬ view of the luncheon discussions held at the A. W. S. conference October 16. For the faculty picnic the fol¬ lowing chairmen of committees were appointed : refreshment, Dor¬ othy Heath; program, Mildred Morrison ; transportation, Georgi- ana Stevenson. №11 СМШ NO QUESTION Cosmopolitan Club To Attend Meeting Presenting a world drama, with Invite Local College To A.

Wonder what will try to imitate the robin when spring is over. IT WORKS Kind souls are ever urging us to get on the inside and look out. We find it much more comfortable to stay out of most of the affairs that need some one to urge us to get in on. SUPERSTITION GRANTED The black cats of Hallowe’en surely did have a terrible effect on the grades of some of our illustrous students the early part of the week.

For the purpose of discussing one of the most important prob¬ lems facing the educators of the country — namely, “What shall we do with the freshman and sopho¬ mores?” professors and principals from leading schools of the nation have been invited to attend an educational conference to be held at the Western Reserve Univer¬ sity of Cleveland, Ohio, m cele¬ bration of its one Pasadena. Those who will rep¬ resent the local college are: Alva Conway, president of the A. W. S.; Bernice Norton; Sarah the date, the partyy was post- Schwartz; and Mildred Morrison, poned.

W. and Y. M. at the Michilinda club house. A series of dark passages and startling experiences greeted the students as they arrived. The program was held in the main room, the decorations of which were carried out in the spirit of the date. The feature event of the eve¬ ning was the unique method of unmasking. Each one present was escorted to the center of the hall, where he was inspected and his identity guessed if possible. J. C. PLAYERS WILL PRESENT PROGRAM FOR STUDENT FUND Three one-act plays, a comedy, a tragedy, and a farce, will be presented in the school auditorium in the afternoon on November 23, by the J. C. Players club. The proceeds from the perform¬ ance will go into a benefit fund for the student body chest. Practice has been going on for about two weeks. Two student- directors are assisting the direc¬ tor in this venture. Dress rehearsals are scheduled to begin in the near future. From the present outlook, these plays will be on a par with the highest attainable standing in amateur dramatics. a lasting stimulus will be aroused j but those in charge state that amongg the members that will be they have a fine group of sub- wele served as refreshments, the basis of the years work. jjects picked for consideration.

Guess we are all supposed to know by now that we are not to talk in the library and that we are not to walk across the front lawn. Or may¬ be the newspaper reporters have run out of “sarcastic idears.” TIT FOR TAT Wouldn’t the students of ori¬ entation be delighted to conduct a mental test for teachers and have the results of these tests published. LIBRARY OR ZOO? From all appearances learning comes hard to most of our stu¬ dents. They must needs screw their countenances into sundry distortions, clicking their tongues meanwhile, and drumming upon the table with -the tips of their fingers, or tapping with fountain pens grasped firmly between the thumb and forefinger.. OPPORTUNITY GIVEN TO START SAVING Under a new system, the stu¬ dent is now entitled to a savings account, with the Pacific South¬ west Trust and Savings Bank, trough the Pasadena high school. ^Many students may see a new and easier way to help their par¬ ents pay for their college educa¬ tion. Others, .who do not wish to attend college may have a large savings for the expenses of. graduation from high school. No one should hesitate with the thought that his 25 cents is not enough to start a savings account. Four per cent interest is paid on all deposits. _ ^ —SINK SAN BERDOOM— J. C. INSTALLS SOME NEW FURNITURE New furniture consisting of eight 60-inch desks and one type¬ writing desk now repose in the Junior college office.. The entire equipment was furnished by the vall0US Los Angeles desk company for a consideration of $442,00. The new furniture is an asset to the office and makes the work of the cabinet members more pleasant. Present members hope that their successors will arrange for the purchase of rugs and swivel chairs to go with the desks. STUDENT AT WASHINGTON Wilhelm Madsen, former J.
