STUDENTS TO MEETIN PARK Bonfire Rally Will Inspire Footballers for Long Beach Game Second Convocation Speaker Will Be Dr. Robert Freeman , Prominent Pasadena Pastor William Mosteller was elected president and Bob Carlson vice- president of the Engineering club at the last meeting. Both are el¬ ectrical engineering students. Virile Men Coax Beards Beardless youths have been neglected this week while their more virile brothers, with sprouting beards impeding writing and eating activities, are holding the stage in P. J. C.’s annual Whiskerino contest. The Pasadena-Compton foot¬ ball struggle, November 12, will mark the end of goatee growths and discarded razors again will be sharpened and brought into Inspired by light from a blazing bonfire, vociferous students will gather in Tournament park, No¬ vember 18, at 7:30 p. m., to hurl defiance at invading Long Beach Jackrabbits. Pasadena Bulldog band, under the direction of Audre L. Stong, and yell and song leaders, super¬ vised by Bert Easterbrook, will lead the event, with members of the teams as special guests. Form Serpentine Following the rally, pepsters will form a serpentine, which, after winding its way downtown, will re¬ turn to the men’s gym, where a dance is to be held. Dancers will be accommodated in both sides of the appropriately decorated pavil¬ ion, while a special orchestra has been secured by Harriet Tilden, secretary of social affairs, in charge of the hop. “The occasion is planned to rouse spirit for the Long Beach game, one of which, the lower di¬ vision tilt, occurs the next day, and the other the following week, on Thanksgiving Day,” states Bob Coop, general head of the affair. Heimann in Charge Bob Heimann, sophomore class president, is in charge of the rally program, while Bill Baillie is to care for the blaze itself, and Bill Wegge will supervise the serpen¬ tine. Parent Needs\ Will Be Discussed Here “The Needs of Parents of Mod¬ ern Youth from the Viewpoint of the Student” will be the subject of a P. T. A. open discussion No¬ vember 7, at 2:30 in the social hall. Mrs. J. E. Bell, program chairman, will lead the group. Opportunity to meet the counselors and discuss problems with them will follow the program. Dr. Robert Freeman, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Pasadena, will be the speaker at the second convo¬ cation of the semester Monday. Recognition of his ability as a public speaker is pronounced by Dr. James Leishman, co-worker and countryman of Dr. Freeman, who states, “With a fine household of young people of his own, Dr. Freeman fulfills hie reputation as an outstanding speaker in Amer¬ ica.” Dr. Freeman, native of Scotland, and graduate of the Princeton Theological Seminary, came to his present position in January 1911. He is the author of four books: "Те Hour of Prayer;” “New Every Morning;” “What About the Twelve?;” and “The Land I Live In;” the last of which is poetry. Because they are considered part of the educational program, allow¬ ing students to keep up with cur¬ rent affairs with the aid of spokes¬ men who are experts in their own fields, convocation attendance i s compulsory. Last year some of the outstanding speakers were Dr. Charles A. Beard, Dr. Robert A. Millikan, James Foley, Joseph Scott, and Dr. Leslie Learned. Miss Eleanor Miller spoke in assembly October 31. DR. ROBERT FREEMAN R. O. T. C. Unit in Battalion Parade A colorful battalion parade was held by the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps last Wednesday during club period, under the com¬ mand of Major Kenneth Wilkes and Capt. Adjutant Paul Wrinkle. Honorary promotions, made on the field during the parade were: honorary major for women, Vera Nicholson; captain of Company A, Josephine Campbell; captain of Company B, Patricia McNamee; and captain of Company C, Er¬ nestine Fetzer. Members of the R. О. T. C. made a trip last Saturday, along with the Girls’ Rifle Team, to the fleet in the Loa Angeles harbor. Justice Tells of Speeders Warning “Football enthusiasts are warn¬ ed to keep within reasonable safe¬ ty rules when travelling to or from the games,” states Barry Simmons, chief justice. “The city police de¬ partment has notified the college that it will not discriminate in the issuance of traffic violation tickets. Through the co-operation of the police department, a police escort will be available to school cara¬ vans travelling from the games. To avoid being stopped, students should plan to stay in line with the caravan. In this way the col¬ lege can effectively show its en¬ thusiasm.” A. W.S. Cabinet Will Attend College Tea Members of the A. W. S. cabinet and other interested girls have been invited to attend an informal tea at Scripps college this after¬ noon. Those going must hand in their names to Miss Catherine J. Robbins, dean of women, by noon.

Garret of Fairbanks- Morse & Co., discussed the design and construction of the engine at the second engineering lecture of the semester Friday, with slides and models as illustrations. News Channel Undercurrents Old and New; Bee Hives The old and the new — which will survive ? To the tramp, tramp, of wheeling and marching R. 0. T. C. squads (each man shoulder¬ ing modern, regulation artillery;), girl William Tells make bullseyes daily with that time-honored, wea¬ pon, the bow and arrow, on the newly made R. O. archery field. According to those who have had experience in the matter, every student that passes through the east walk and door is in ex¬ treme peril. The danger is not from a falling roof, the pessimists hasten to add, but from a hive of bees, the inhabitants of which lately have been given campus privileges. Young George Washingtons this week have been working with nu¬ merous sticks and instruments which, when properly regulated, aid. the future pioneers in survey¬ ing the campus. Wanted: two pigs about three weeks of age — good, strong squeal¬ ers preferred. These young pork¬ ers are not required for a cafe¬ teria lunch hour, but for atmos¬ phere and action in the Bauble and Bells production, “Bachelors’ Quar¬ ters.” DOROTHY EDWARDS CHOSEN AS QUEENOF ROSE TOURNEY Eleanor Braden and Jeanne Thomson Selected As Maids of Honor; Norma Hassler, Joyce Dunkerley Named In Royal Retinue (See Picture on Page 3) Beauty and personality won for Princess Dorothy Ed¬ wards the royal honor of becoming Queen of the 1933 Tour¬ nament of Roses.
