For Prizes
With the double incentive of a
cash prize of $5.00 and a silver
loving cup to be presented to the
winning club, the attendance con¬
test, sponsored by the organiza¬
tions committee is now well under
way, according to Bill Weil, secre¬
tary of organizations.
November 2 marked the opening
date and until December 2 all or¬
ganizations, both restrictive and
non-restrictive, will vie for the besi
score in daily attendance. To the
club having the second highest
score will go two dollars and to
the third highest, one dollar. A
check will be made of the atten¬
dance of each member of all or¬
ganizations entered in the contest.
Registration blanks may be se¬
cured from Weil, and all clubs not
registered should do so immedi¬
ately.
Tabulation will be made by the
organizations committee on Decem¬
ber 4 and 5, working with Mrs.
White in her office. Winners in
the contest will be announced the
following week when the awards
will be made.
The purpose of the contest, ac¬
cording to Weil, is to promote a
better attendance record for the
entire junior college, as each ab¬
sence, besides being a detriment to
the individual student’s scholastic
record, lowers the funds provided
by the state for the school.
ART GROUP HOLDS
FORMAL INITIATION
Formal initiation of the Zeta
Gamma Phi, honorary art club, was
held last Tuesday evening, No¬
vember 3, at the home of James
Hawkins, president. New members
initiated were Rae Colvin, Thomas
Laursen, Ruth Medaris-Wolfe, Gen¬
evieve McLean, Castleman Wilson,
Don Kubly and Jane Hare.
Other members of the club pres¬
ent were C.iarles Reynolds, Frieda
Klassen, Phoebe Howell, Charles
Lesher, James Hawkins, Jane Ha-
zenbush, Bob Dickinson and Lila
Renner. Alumni of the club were
also invited to attend.
Following the initiation there
was a short business meeting, re¬
freshments and dancing.
Sponsor
Dean of Guidance Ida E. Hawes,
who acts as adviser for the Vo-
Mag, vocational magazine. Over
1700 copies were sold on the day
of issuance.
1770 Copies
Of Vo-Mag
Go On Sale
Science, Theme Of First
Magazine For This
Semester
- ♦ - -
Science was the theme of the
first Vo-Mag, publication of the
guidance department of Pasadena
junior college, which went on sale
last Wednesday with 1770 copies
to be distributed to the student
body. Carter Cordner and Jaimes
Hawkins edited the magazine, and
Miss Ida E. Hawes, dean of gui¬
dance, acted as adviser
Both Miss Mabel Peirson, life
science chairman, and Bailey W.
Howard, head of the physical sci¬
ence department, acted in an ad¬
visory capacity thus assuring the
issue the scientific note it endea¬
vored to attain, according to Cord¬
ner.
Sales were conducted by John
Pettingall, business manager, and
James Guihan, sales and subscrip¬
tion heads. The junior and fresh¬
man classes, directed by Philip
Cartwright and Bob Braden, pres¬
idents, sold the forty page maga¬
zine through the medium of a con¬
test that included the two science
groups. Vincent Guinn and John
Winn acted as vocational associ¬
ates.
According to Ned F. Stirling,
publications department chairman
and adviser to the publication staff,
“the issue achieved a note of sci¬
entific accuracy that has been the
aim of its first number of each
semester since the magazine was
first introduced upon the campus
five years ago. Articles by author¬
ities in numerous fields of science
complement student work, and the
feeling has been expressd that the
magazine will once again hit the
top ranks of college publications
as it has in years past.”
Actual sales figures are not
available at the present, according
to Business Manager Pettingall, as
many subscriptions entail a maxi¬
mum of time and accounting to
register and record. However, the
edition is nearly exhausted and, he
said, anyone desirous of obtaining
a copy should do so at once. They
are on sale at the student book
store for twenty-five cents; sub¬
scriptions for the three issues are
sixty cents.
Concerts To
Begin Soon
Sponsored by the Junior League
of Pasadena with the cooperation
of the board of education, the elev¬
enth season of Young People’s
Symphony concerts will begin De¬
cember 4.
Otto Klemperer, famous conduc¬
tor, will conduct the Los Angeles
Philharmonic orchestra at the first
two concerts. The Vienna Boys’
choir will present the third con¬
cert. Other concerts will be pre¬
sented by the Pasadena junior col¬
lege symphony orchestra and the
Pasadena Civic orchestra.
SCI-MATH LECTURE
DATE IS CHANGED
Postponed to the night of No¬
vember 24 is the first Sci-Math lec¬
ture of the year, according to Da¬
vid M. Spaulding, instructor in the
biological science department, and
president of the organization.
The subject of the lecture, which
is this time sponsored by the as¬
tronomy section of Sci-Math, is
“Pouring, Annealing and Grinding
the 200-Inch Disk.” The lecture
will be delivered by Dr. F. G.
Pease, and will include an explan¬
ation of the new telescope which
will soon be set up on Palomar
mountain, San Diego county.
Chartered Train Will Leave
For Game This Afternoon
In order that students may see the football game between the
Pasadena and Ventura junior college varsities tonight, the pep com¬
mission has chartered a special train that will leave for Ventura
from the corner of Broadway and Green streets at 3:15 p. m. immedi¬
ately after sixth period this afternoon, revealed Jack Page, chairman
of the pep commission.
Arriving in Ventura about an
hour before the game, a rooting
section may be organized to rep¬
resent Pasadena junior college, ac¬
cording to Page. After the football
team has dressed the train will
leave Ventura to arrive in Pasa¬
dena about 1:00 a. m. Saturday
morning.
Diner On Trip
There will be a diner in which
students may purchase meals.
Members of the Frosh class making-
the trip have decided to band to¬
gether and occupy one car. Offi¬
cials on the trip will have the use
of an observation car which will
be the last car on the train. Band
and football team members will
travel apart from the rest of the
students in their respective cars.
School regulations will apply to
those taking the trip, and students
wearing “official badges” are au¬
thorized, as well as the Southern
Pacific uniformed officers, to main¬
tain order. “Cooperation with
these officers will make the trip a
successful one, and will go far
toward making other excursions
possible,” said Sam Schwartz, stu¬
dent body president.
To date the number of students
making the trip is breaking the
record set by the previous train
trip to Ventura last year. This is
made possible by the low price
of $1.25 cents per person for a
round trip as the regular rates for
round trips to Ventura is about
twice that amount, said Page. Tick¬
ets may be purchased at the school
bank in the student union building.
“I hope students will act like
students should, because if we show
good conduct we’ll be able to travel
with the team next year,” said
Jack Page.
Chaperones for the trip will be
Mr. and Mrs. Milton C. Mohs, Mr.
and Mrs. Edward D. Comelison,
Mr. and Mrs. Max B. Harlow, Mr.
and Mrs. Bob McNeish, Mr. and
Mrs. Otto B. Anderson and Earl
Holder. Two uniformed officers of
the Southern Pacific railroad com¬
pany will also be on the train, ac¬
cording to Miss Catherine J. Rob¬
bins, dean of women.
Membership
Drive Slated
Pot-Luck Supper Planned
By Air-Coeds For
Tuesday Night
In conjunction with a member¬
ship drive which will start next
week, the Air Co-eds, women’s avi¬
ation club, will hold a potluck sup¬
per meeting on Tuesday, November
10, at 6 p. m. at the home of Ruth
Anderson, 2034 Beverley drive.
Dick Allen, flying instructor and
A. T. Hay, aeronautics instructor
and adviser, will be guests of hon¬
or at the meeting.
Each member now enrolled is
asked to bring as many women
students and teachers to the sup¬
per as possible, as there are many
opportunities open to a larger
group which are not available for
a small club of this type.
Mr. Hay mentioned several of
these opportunities at a meeting
held Tuesday afternoon in 117-T.
Among them are a special demon¬
stration and explanation of the
wind tunnel located in the technical
laboratories here at school, as well
as the larger tunnel located at Cal
Tech; the showing of aerial films
by transport companies and other
large concerns; excursions to flying
fields and airplane manufacturing
plants in the southland and talks
by famous men and women pilots.
The above and many more are pro¬
grams that can and will be ar¬
ranged as soon as the membership
is sufficiently enlarged.
At the suggestion of Mr. Hay, it
was decided to investigate the pos¬
sibilities of sponsoring a weekly
dance at the Civic auditorium. Jane
Summers was appointed to be in
charge of arrangements. Claire
McKesson was appointed to de¬
sign posters which will be turned
over to the art department to paint.
Katherine Blake, in charge of
the menu for Tuesday’s supner an¬
nounced that anyone, whether al¬
ready a member or not, may sign
up for what he wishes to bring on
a list located on the bulletin board
opposite Miss Robbins’ office.

Plan Dance
Don Cave’s Orchestra To
Perform in “Powwow’
Tomorrow
- * - -
Playing host to all Pasadena jun¬
ior college students who wish to at¬
tend will be the role of the spoho-
more class when they hold their
“Indian Pow-wow” in the Gold
room of the Civic auditorium, at
eight o’clock tomorrow evening, ac¬
cording to Bruce Jessup, chairman
of the dance committee.
Bob Stapleton, music committee
head, said, “Don Cave and his or¬
chestra will furnish the music for
this affair, and it is expected that
his popular orchestra will make a
good showing.”
Bids Sold
Bids for the dance, which are
now being sold by sophomore coun¬
cil members, follow the theme by
offering such individual dances as
the “Snake Dance,” “The Dance of
the Gods,” and “Custer’s Last
Stand.”
The bids were designed by Bar¬
bara Nichols, and will be on sale
at the door, since the affair is to be
Spen to the entire student body,
according to Jessup. According to
Barbara Patten, who is in charge
of decorating the room in which
the dance will be held, the decora¬
tions will aid in carrying out the
theme.
This dance is the first affair of
its type which any of the classes
have sponsored so far this year,
and it is hoped that the dance "will
be a successful opening to the so¬
cial season of the various classes,
according to Jessup.
“Don Cave’s orchestra has
played at many of the southland
night spots during the past several
years, and he is familiar to junior
college students. His orchestra has
played at the Civic auditorium in
the past, and he was well received,”
was the comment made by Staple-
ton on the selection of the orches¬
tra.
YWCA Gets
New Official
Because Miss Loreta Melton left
for the north to accept another po¬
sition, Miss Mary Estus, of the Pas¬
adena Civic league, will act as the
new Y. W. C. A. secretary for this
year, according to Jeanne Bobo,
president of the Y.
Members of the “Y” will meet
at an association dinner on Wed¬
nesday, November 18, at the down¬
town “Y,” which will feature a
Mothers’ night. Pegew Twining is
in charge of the mothers’ group,
while Mary Jeanette Sutterly is in
charge of the recreation and Eliz¬
abeth Freese is planning the din¬
ner.
Members of the cabinet met the
new secretary at a cabinet meeting
last Wednesday noon, which was
presided over by Mrs. Charles
Howe, advisory J>oard chairman.

Affair
With the Armistice theme pre¬
vailing, the final plans for the stu¬
dent body “Cannon Ball,” to be
held November 10, are nearing
completion. The dance will begin
at 8:30 in the Civic auditorium, and
a, large crowd is expected, accord¬
ing to Ellen Lombard, secretary of
social affairs.
j Sale of bids, which the Argon¬
auts have been holding all week,
will continue today, also Monday
and Tuesday. Bids can be obtained
for twenty-five cents at the north
end of the bookstore in the Stu¬
dent Union building. Since the be¬
ginning of the sale on Monday, a
great many of the bids have been
distributed, according to Bill Weil,
Argonaut president.
Bob Mohr To Play
Bob Mohr’s orchestra will pro¬
vide the music for the dance. For
presentation during the intermis¬
sion, special entertainment, consis¬
ting of school talent, is being ar¬
ranged.
Contrary to earlier reports, the
“Cannon Ball” will be sport and
not semi-formal, as originally
planned. Unfavorable reaction tow¬
ard the semi-formal idea prompted
this sudden change, according to
Miss Lombard.

sponsored by the social affairs com¬
mittee,. The committee working
under Miss Lombard, includes Mar¬
garet Arnold and Joan Kellogg,
who engaged the orchestra; Geor-
gianna Stacy and Patsy Burr, de¬
signers of the bids; Rosalie Meub,
entertainment chairman; and Bar¬
bara Lombard, publicity agent.
“The ‘Cannon Ball’ is for the
whole student body, and I want
the whole student body to come.
Since the following day is Armis¬
tice, a school holiday, everyone
can attend this, the big dance of
the year,” said Miss Lombard.

members of the Alumni and Pa¬
trons’ associations, and to the 70
honor guests, including city, coun¬
ty and state officials, members of
the Board of City Directors, and,

platform for these honor guests
is being erected in front of the

Gives Work
In response to the notice in the
Chronicle last week, encouraging
business students to apply for jobs,
there were 40 or 50 apnlicants in
the first three days, according to
Leland M. Pryor, chairman of the
business education department. “I
have been able to place one student
in a full time job during this short
time, and have placed many in part
time jobs,” said Mr. Pryor.
A permanent job placement bur¬
eau, which will place students in
good paying positions of all types,
will probably be established in the
near future. It will be enlarged
to serve all vocational departments
such as business education, tech¬
nology and dentist’s assistants.
Those junior college students
who wish to apply for a job are
requested to register with Mr. Pry¬
or at his office, located on the sec¬
ond floor of the women’s gym.
Many requests for students to
fill jobs which require no business
education, are received by James
P. O’Mara. dean of men, and stu¬
dents who wish these jobs should
see Mr. O’Mara in his office in the
administration building.
