ROTC Represents
PJC In Parade
The Bulldog Band and ROTC will represent PJC in the Ar¬
mistice Day Parade being held on November 11. The Boy and
Sea Scouts, the junior high school bands, the Veterans of For¬
eign Wars, and the American Legion will also participte.
The Legionnaires, no doubt, still remember the signing of
the Armistice twenty-three years ago and the accompanying
sense of relief which spread throughout the warring countries.
The realization came much later that the underlying principles
of hate, prejudice, and revenge written into the peace treaty
would serve oftly as a stop-and-go light to both conquered and
conqueror.
Then the screaming whine of incendiary bombs and sense¬
less drone of high-flying airplanes again shattered the gentle
complacency which had settled over the world. The chivalry and
personal honor of battle has given way to production of human
and mechanical machines of destruction. All property, religion,
and humanitarian living has been placed in the hands of a few
in those countries where the new system is being practiced.
In America, however, there is still a semblance of working
democracy and peaceful living, though the rest of the world re¬
peats a savage performance in a new war. How long she will
stand at rest will be determined by the time necessary for the
flaming breath of war to shift toward the soles of Uncle Sam’s
feet. Then, in a few years the Parades will march again through
rebuilt cities, over repaved roads, celebrating a reunited world.
Groups On War
“Dad’s Night,” held last ♦-
night at the San Francisco
game, proved to be quite a suc¬
cess, what with all members of
several organizations at school
bringing their fathers to see a
real PJC football game in the
Rose Bowl. Special sections of
the rooting section were layed
out for the father-son combina¬
tion in order that the pater
might be able to see something
on the field with out having
pom poms shoved in his face
and radicals of the younger
generation throwing their rolls
of Scot Tissue through space
into his lap.
Next Friday night another car¬
avan will leave Pasadena for a
football game away from home.
As at Fullerton, a police escort
will be one of the enticements to
those who have automobiles. On
that night all cars will meet at
the city limits of San Bernardino
on Highway 66 at 7:15.
The distance from Pasadena to
San Bernardino is approximately
fifty miles and therefore should
take an hour and fifteen minutes.
Plans are being formed for a
dance after the game which
should be as good as the one at
Fullerton. Everyone is cautioned,
however, to drive carefully and
watch the other fellow.
Davis Wins Whiskerino
Ray Davis, twice winner of the annual Whiskerino Contest, is
shown being surrounded by PJC’s lovely song leaders. The con¬
test finels took place during half-time of the Glendale game.
