PRESS DELEGATES AT P.J.C.
Bauble and Bells Play, Is Ready
VIEWS OF
THE NEWS
Doug McMann
— ♦ —
Pasadena junior college extends
the cordial welcome of their fac¬
ulty, student officers, and student
body to the delegates present at
the Press Convention. It is indeed
an honor to be the hosts to such
a representative group of junior
collegians. May your visit in Pas¬
adena be one of lasting enjoyment.
Elsewhere in the “Chronicle” will
be found news of interest to all
delegates.
Current on our dramatic stage
is the Bauble and Bells production
of “Seven Chances,” a three-act
comedy chock full of action and
humor. The play will rival a prof¬
essional presentation, as the cast
and director have been working on
their offering for weeks. All is
keyed up for a big show. We’l
see you tonight.
A policy was put into effect the
first of the year, that the Seniors
would occupy the center section,
'the Juniors on either side of the
auditorium, the Sophomores back
of the Seniors under the balcony,
and the Freshmen in the balcony,
would compose the seating ar¬
rangement. It has been reported
that several clubs are reserving
whole rows of seats. This hinders
the calling of the assembly to order
and causes much unnecsssary die
turbance. Your cooperation is
asked.
Believe it or not, but only two
hundred students run the activi¬
ties of this junior college. In other
words, a little more than fifteen
percent of the student body run the
affairs of this institution. Last
year the percentage was less than
that. This shows us that with the
beginning of each school year, our
student government becomes more
and more democratic. With about
twenty executives in charge, the
.remaining number are engaged in
many departments which offer act¬
ivity.
The student court is working on
the traffic problem and from all
observations has done a mighty
good job so far. The students have
cooperated with the court and have
aided them materially in systemat¬
izing the back yard parking situa¬
tion. When asked to appear before
the court, students should be
prompt. In this way, both factions
will be able to come to a prompt
agreement.
Contract Is Let
For Observatory
The contract for the new
school observatory, which will
include a dark room, a 20 foot
dome for the twenty-inch tele¬
scope, and a spectroscopical la¬
boratory, was let last Thursday
at the Board of Education meet¬
ing to Wopschall and Company.
The dome will be rotary with
a slit which opens and closes,
and wind curtains pulling from
either top or bottom to shut off
all side light; the laboratory
will be equipped for spectroscop¬
ical work concerning sources of
heat with the flame, electric
furnace, arc, and spark. Re¬
sults will be correlated with the
spectrum of the stars and the
sun.

[COMEDY IS
PRODUCED
First Stage Production Will
Be Presented Tonight
-♦ -
Culminating weeks of intensive
rehearsals and hard work, Bauble
and Bells dramatic club will pre¬
sent that hilariously funny comedy
“Seven Chances” by Roi Cooper
Megrue this evening at 8:00 in the
auditorium.
The author has written a num¬
ber of other successful stage hits.
A few of his most delightful offer¬
ings are “It Pays to Advertise,”
“Tea for Three,” “Under Fire,”
and “Under Cover.”
“Seven Chances” was originally
produced by David Belasco at the
George M. Cohan theatre in New
York, and had a most successful
run there. Three of the stage’s best
known actors played in the first
production. They were: Frank
Craven, Carroll McComas, and
Helen MacKellar. It has also been
produced as a motion picture with
Buster Keaton in the leading role.
The entire play takes place in the
lounge of an exclusive men’s coun¬
try club overlooking Long Island
Sound, and a moonlit veranda, the
dreamy waltz melody floating out
from the ball room, and pretty
girls in evening gowns all furnish
opportunities for light spring ro¬
mance.
The play concerns the attempts
of a young man to marry a girl in
24 hours in order that he may re¬
ceive a legacy of 12 million dollars.
He proposes to seven different girls
during the 24 hours and is turned
down by all of them. Mr. Megrue,
in a style all his own, brings this
play up to a smashing climax in a
most novel manner.
According to Bob Coop, presi¬
dent of the club, too much credit
can not be given to Miss Katherine
Kester, director and adviser.

Unit Parades
Armistice Day
— 4 —
The local unit of R.
О.
T. C. has
been invited, as is the custom, to
participate in the annual Armis¬
tice Day parade, held under the
auspices of the American Legion
on Tuesday, November 11.
“We are not only invited,” says
Colonel White, commander of the
P. J. C. unit, “but the Legion ex-
pectes every man enlisted to par¬
ticipate in this event.”
The unit will assemble at the
J. C. armory at 9 a. m. ; the parade
will start at 10 a. m., and will last
until noon.
“Although the route of the par¬
ade has not been announced as
yet,” says Sergeant Morgan, “I
presume it will be the same as in
former years. It will probably
start at Lake avenue, going west
on Colorado to Raymond, then
north on Raymond and ending at
Memorial park.”

Alaskan Explorer Lectures
Eefore Y. M. C. A. Member
That Alaska is as large as the
United States east of the Mississ¬
ippi, that the name Alaska is an
English corruption of native words,
Al-ak-shak, meaning a great coun¬
try, were facts learned from Ralph
Wyatt’s illustrated talk at the Y
meting last Monday evening.
Mr. Wyatt had slides of his en¬
tire trip which included a 1113-
mile steamer voyage to Metala-
katla, then inland by rail 1000
miles to Skagway, and White
Horse; and down the Yukon to Ne-
nana. Another rail trip brought
the party to Seward, and from
there the steamer trip back to Se¬
attle was 1856 miles.
Slides which caused surprise
those showing gardens with as
as many as 23 varieties of flowers,
growing b ountifully, and Totem
poles which the white man has
modernized by stringing electric
light wires on them.
J. P. O’Mara, dean of men, in¬
stalled the Y officers for this se¬
mester, who are Richard Parker,
president; Graydon Brockman,
first vice-president; Winston Tre¬
vor, second vice-president; David
Bruce, third vice-president; Alfred
Escherich, treasurer; Henry Stev¬
ens, Jr., secretary, and William
Gunn, publicity.
