PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, NOVEMBER 6, 1924
No. 7
Class Members of Winning-
Class to Receive Special
Privilege as Prize.
TEN DOLLARS INCLUDED
Membership Enables Student
to Take Part in High School
Activities With Convenience
“Seniors leading, Junior College
a poor second,” reports Charles
Dickerman, Commissioner of Fi¬
nance, as the standing of the
classes in the inter-class competi¬
tion, started two weeks ago, for
Student Body members.
All members of the winning
class, who are student body mem¬
bers, will be given a secial privilege
that has not been announced yet.
It is being reserved as a special
surprise to the winners. In addi¬
tion, ten dollars will be added to
the treasury of the winning class.
Twenty-fivei dollars was the prize
decided upon a few weeks ago but
because class officers have thought
it inadvisable to give five dollars
each from their respective class
treasuries, the prize has been
changed, to the advantage of the
winning class.
The Junior College is not show¬
ing up to the expectations of
“Chuck” and is making a poor
showing. The J. C. basket ball
team will be financed when
seventy-five percent of the junior
college students become Student
Body members.
Freshmen, Sophomores, and Jun¬
iors do not appear to be in the
race but all of these classes are
still hopeful.
r “If we expect to have a success¬
ful year at P. H. S. we need 500
more members,” points out
“Chuck.” He further shows by a
few figures given in the following
sentences the foolishness of stu¬
dents who are not Student Body
members.
Naturally, every full blooded P.
H. S. student will attend the Long
Beach game. For those who have
no Student Body card there will be
an admission charge of fifty cents.
Adding to this sum, the one
dollar and fifty cents to be paid
for the Annual, leaves only fifty
cents that the student really pays
for all other privileges of a Stu¬
dent Body member.
BIG ‘FELLOWSHIP PARTY’

ship party at the P. H. S. library

short program in the library.
Bailey W. Howard, of the Phy¬
sical Science department, is the

State School Man to
Give Lecture Here
Pasadena Teachers’ Associa¬
tion Invites F. C. Willis to
Speak at P. H. S. Thurs.
NOVEMBER 13 IS DATE
Whittier State School Band of
Talented Boys will Furnish
Orchestral Entertainment
For considering the vital ques- '
tion of present day problems of ju¬
venile delinquency, an open meeting
of the Pasadena Teachers’ Associa¬
tion will be held in the P.H.S.
Auditorium, Thursday the thir¬
teenth from four to five P. M.
The principal speaker of the af¬
ternoon will be Fred C. Willis, sup¬
erintendent of the Whittier State
School. His speech will be followed
by a discussion of the problems
presented by him in order to ob¬
tain information which might prove
valuable to keep school children on
the right path.
To all the service clubs of Pasa- !
dena, to the Parent-Teachers’ As¬
sociation, and to anyone who is in¬
terested in the subject to be discus¬
sed, the doors of the meeting will
be open.
Following the discussion, the'
Whittier State School Boys’
Band will give a musical program.
This band is especially interesting
as all the boys were selected for
their musical talents, and all are
intending to become professional
musicians.
The problem of juvenile delin¬
quency is being met in many schools
by methods that have been found
successful. Mr. Willis is an au¬
thority on this matter and should
be heard with interest by all citi¬
zens interested in child welfare.
“UP CLOSE” MAKES MANY
EPIGRAMATICAL REMARKS
Following are some epigram-
matical and pithy remarks
made by Upton Close in his lecture
on the “Political Situation of
China” last Wednesday afternoon
in the Assembly Hall:
Gambling in China is taboo just
as liquor in this country is taboo.
The trade mark of the soldiers
of the “Christian General” is “War
isn’t war if somebody doesn’t get
killed.”
The “Christian General” gets
his directions from God and God
only knows what he gets.
The “Christian general” got
“Westernized” instead of “Chris¬
tianized.”
Lack of ancestors is a great de¬
ficiency in China.
To the Chinese we are like
children vivacious and over-active.
Teachers Attend Dancing Classes
Every Monday after school the
women gym teachers attend a
class in the technique of classic
dancing given by Marian Morgan,
of the Marian Morgan dancers in
Los Angeles at the Y. W. C. A.
Another class attended by the
teachers is one of gymnastic danc¬
ing given by Martin Irieb of U. of
C. on Wednesday afternoons at the
same place.
PASADENA HIGH SCHOOL COURT OF
JUSTICE-MEMBERS OF 1924
STUDENT COUNCIL
In Pasadena High School all misdemeanors of the students, such
as class-cutting, repeated unexcused tardiness, etc., are brought up
before a group composed of six members of the Student Body, two
elected by advisory representatives, and the remaining four appointed
by the Student Body Commissioners. The members of this Student
Council for the present year are, from left to right from top: Walter
Fell; Foster Warwick, chairman; Melville Caines; Helen Schwartz;
Doris Jeannin; Burdine Branfield; and Miss Vaughan, faculty adviser.
GIRLS WOULD YOU LIKE
TO EQUAL THE R.O.T.C.?
How many girls know what the
“K” Club is? Very few I’ll war¬
rant, yet it should be of great in¬
terest to the girds because it gives
them - the same kind of a chance
to help in case of war or disaster
that is given to the R.
О.
T. C.
The “K” club is composed of the
girls who have taken Home Nurs¬
ing and obtained their Red Cross
certificates (if they passed, their
certificates are waiting for them)
and the object is to train the girls
in a pleasurable way how to be
efficient in case of emergency so
that they may aid the Red Cross
or other organizations.
The club was started last year
and had a big membership who en¬
joyed the picnics, parties, initia¬
tion, and last but by no means
least the refreshments which were
served at each monthly meeting.
The club will elect its officers in
the next meeting, the delay being
due to the advise of the faculty
adviser who suggested waiting till
all interested girls had had time
to join. The same kind of program
will be carried out including the
refreshments, hikes, and picnics.
ANAHEIM HIGH SCHOOL
WELCOMES JOURNALISTS
GIRLS’ AND BOYS’ LEAGUE
MEETING FOR TOMORROW
Girls’ and Boys’ League meetings
will be held tomorrow. The girls
meet to talk over the activities of
the various departments of the
League, and the boys to take up,
especially their part in the Thanks¬
giving baskets.
The only chance that the boys
have to help the Girls’ League will
be given them tomorrow first ad¬
visory in the auditorium. The
Commissioner of Girls’ Welfare
says that it is important to the
success of one of the largest Girls’
League projects of the year that
the boys rally to their assistance.
The girls will meet in different
places according to the department
under which they have signed up.
The Program department under
Natalie Vincenti will meet in the
balcony of the auditorium; the So¬
cial Service department under Hol¬
ly Halstead, downstairs in the aud¬
itorium; the Hospitality depart¬
ment under Lois Woodruff, in 200-
C; the Civic Activities department
under Frances Scoville, in the Mu¬
sic Hall.
FIRST POETRY CLUB OF
SCHOOL IS ORGANIZED
Together with representatives of
nearly every high school publica¬
tion in Southern California, six
delegates from P. H. S. will attend
the Southern California Press Con¬
vention to be held at Anaheim
Union High School on Friday, No¬
vember 21.
The convention will be presided
over by Irma Young, President,
and Bert F. Steelhead, Instructor.
Each Southern California pub¬
lication is entitled to two voting
delegates who shall pay as dues
$1.50. Visiting and faculty dele¬
gates are not limited. Each dele¬
gate is required to bring two cop¬
ies of the best issue of this year’s
paper.
Registration will start at 9:30
A. M., and last until 3:30 P. M.
The convention which was sched¬
uled for last Spring, was found
necessary to be postponed to this
month.
Letterman Elect Officers
The Letterman’s Club held its
first meeting of the year on Octo¬
ber 28, and elected officers for the
coming semester. Those elected
were: President, Bill Schmidt;
vice-president, Eddie Collins; sec¬
retary, Gene Conterno; and treas¬
urer, Phil Ramsay.
That the “Rhyme and Rhythm
Society,” the new poetry club which
was organized last Thursday, is a
going concern is shown by the fact
that some forty students have
signed up for membership in it.
At the meeting held last week
the students who are to lead the
society this semester were elected.
The president 'is Virginia Larson;
the vice-president Bob Chapin;
the secretary, Leora Fuller; the
treasurer, Helen Montgomery.
The Rhyme and Rhythm Society
is the first poetry club to be organ¬
ized at P. H. S. and while it is not
necessary to be a poet to join the
club, it is necessary to appreciate
and have a liking for poetry.
Rudolph J. Pelunis, member of
the English department, is the
faculty adviser of the club and has
already suggested one of his fam¬
ous hikes as an event of the near
future for the society.
Must Elect Again
At a meeting held by the Triple
“S” Literary Society on Oct. 25
nominations for the presidency
took up the entire advisory period.
The sad results were that prac¬
tically all the candidates declined
the . nomination, making it neces¬
sary to hold the election over again
at some time in the future.
1500 COPIES NEEDED
OF LATEST PRODUCT
Fifteen hundred copies of the
1924-25 teachers’ directory now be¬
ing printed in P. H. S. will be
ready about November 20.
The linotype work, which is very
complicated, is almost finished. It
must be accurate to be of service
to those who wish to use it.
The directory is published yearly,
but this edition will be the largest
of all because the faculties and
other employees have increased in
number.
The name, address, and telephone
number of all teachers and employ¬
ees of the Pasadena City Schools
will be in the new School Direc¬
tory.
H. T. Clifton Speaks to
Different Advisories
Is Trying to Make Clear to
Students Recommendation
and College Credit Given
DISCUSSES CHEMISTRY
He Desires That Students Be
Prepared With Questions
When He is to Speak
Trying to answer queries of stu¬
dents about grades, Harry T. Clif¬
ton, P. H. S. Recorder, is speaking
to different advisory groups when¬
ever invited. During the past
week Mr. Clifton spoke to Mrs. A.
M. Magnuson’s 11-1 advisory in
232-C, Monday, October 27. Mr.
Clifton tries to make clear ques¬
tions about college recommenda¬
tions such as the exact differences
between a “3,” a “2,” and a “1.”
Other questions which Mr. Clifton
attempted to make clear were
these : Does domestic chemistry
count for college credit? why was
the shift made so suddenly that
a “3” the first semester and a “2”
the second no longer counts as a
recommended year of work? and
just how much does citizenship
count for graduation?
Mr. Clifton desires to state that
he does not wish to force himself
upon advisories, but will be glad
to arrange a date with those
groups whose members are inter¬
ested in college or high school rec¬
ommendation, his only wish being
that students before whom he is
to speak have some specific ques¬
tions to ask him, as a broad and
unlimited view of the subject can
not be covered in the brief thirty
minutes of the advisory period al¬
lowed.
ENGLISH TEACHERS TO
MEET IN L. A. NOV. 15
Meeting for the first time this
year, the Southern Section of the
California Association of English
Teachers will gather on Saturday,
November 15, at 10 o’clock in the
High School Teachers’ Association
Rooms in the Trinity Building, Los
Angeles.
Following the Committee chair¬
men’s reports, Dean Ray K. Im-
mel, of the School of Speech, Uni¬
versity of Southern California,
will speak on “The American Lan¬
guage.” Sarah E. Bunday, cor¬
responding secretary - treasurer,
writes that annual dues may be
paid at this meeting or previously
mailed to her, addressing Jeffer¬
son High School, Los Angeles.
Women Play Golf
In order to know the game, and
also to give them outdoor exercise,
22 women teachers have signed up
for golf lessons given by W. Gor-
ringe, of Hollywood, every Monday,
Wednesday, and Thursday after¬
noon, during sixth and seventh per¬
iods, on the ground adjoining the
girls’ hockey field. Every Tues¬
day afternoon, during the sixth
and seventh periods, practice is
directed by Miss Hazel Cooper,
member of the Physical Education
department.
FOi DEBATERS II
FINAL ELIMINATION
John Ackley; Elizabeth Bixby
Will Oppose Laurence Mich-
elmore ; John McClintock
TO CHOOSE TEAM TODAY
Coach Canfield is Optimistic
of Championship this year;
Has Bulk of Good Material
Chosen from a field of eight
contestants, John Ackley, Eliza¬
beth Bixby, Laurence Michelmore,
and John McClintock, four local
silver-tongued artists, won their
way into the final eliminations for
the debate with Hollywood High
School.
This afternoon at 3:30 in the
local auditorium John Ackley and
Elizabeth Bixby will uphold the
affirmative side while Laurence
Michelmore and John McClintoch
will uphold the negative side of the
question, Resolved: That a two-
thirds vote of the Supreme Court
be required to declare an act of
Congress unconstitutional. They
will present their arguments be¬
fore the faculty forensic commit¬
tee which will select two speakers
for the team and a third as an
alternative.
Pasadena has been fortunate
this year in having several of last
year’s squad members back. All
four students in the finals have
had several semesters of experience
in debating. John Ackley and Eli¬
zabeth Bixby were members of last
year’s champion inter-class team
and because of their experience in
working together are given a
slight edge over their opponents.
However, both Laurence Michel¬
more and John McClintock were
members of last year’s squad and
may take the decision over their
opponents.
Regardless of whoever is chosen
this afternoon, a strong team, cap¬
able of displaying championship
qualities, is assured. Coach Can-
field is very optimistic about this
year’s debating season and hopes
to repeat the performance of the
team two years ago.
The debate for which the try¬
outs are being held will be staged
Friday, November 21, in the Holly¬
wood Memorial auditorium at 8:00
o’clock.
BIOLOGY PICTURES SHOWN
SECOND ADVISORY THURS.
Moving pictures showing the
strength of insects, the develop¬
ment of the silk worm, and the
habits of the spider were shown
Thursday, October 30, second ad¬
visory, for the benefit of both the
10-1 and 10-2 Biology students.
Several especially interesting
scenes were those of a fly juggling
miniature dumbells, a scorpion
tearing a lizard in pieces, and a
spider encasing its victims in the
silken strands which, although they
look so fragile, are ■ capable of
holding insects larger than the
spider itself.
New Hi-Y Club
After a complete reorganization
of the Hi-Y club this year, 20 boys
from the two clubs of last year
were chosen as the basis of a new
club. At a meeting on Oct. 28 at
the Y. new officers of the organiza¬
tion for the year were elected.
Reg Nickerson . President
Mel Caines . Vice-president
Eddie Collins . Secretary
Don Novis . . Treasurer
James Iliff was made athletic
representative of the new club and
J. G. Griffith, faculty adviser.
Palestine, Egypt, and Bagdad
have a fortnightly airplane service.
