At least one team will represent
Pasadena junior college in the Na¬
tional R.
О.
T. C. rifle match for
the William Randolph Hearst tro¬
phies, according to Lieut.-Col. G.
H. White, local military instructor.
Pasadena received its official invi¬
tation to compete last Tuesday, No¬
vember 5.
Colonel White hopes enough men
will turn out so that he may enter
two teams in the match, in an at¬
tempt to recapture the national
trophy won by the local team in
1927. Students must be enrolled
in the reserve unit represented by
the squad.
The United States has been di¬
vided into four sections
юг
the con¬
test: East, West, Mid West and
South. Pasadena will be included
in the Western division, and falls
in the third classification, that of
military units in high schools and
junior colleges. Record firing may
begin any time after February 1.
Targets must be in the Sixth Corps
headquarters in Chicago by April
10, 1930.
National first place prizes for
the winner are: Perpetual cup
awarded to the institution, five
gold medals, and a trip to Wash¬
ington, D. C., for the five members
of the team and the coach. Sec¬
tional winners in each classifica¬
tion receive shields for first, sec¬
ond, or third place; four first place
medals, five second place medals,
and five third place medals. An in¬
dividual prize of a gold wrist watch
and a trip to Washington, D. C.
(If the individual is not a mem¬
ber of the winning team) is given
to the person with the highest
score in each of the classifications.
The rules for the contest are
fixed by the United States Army.
An officer of the army, a duly as¬
signed military instructor, or a
faculty member must act as wit¬
ness of the record firing, and su¬
pervise it. The contest will be
judged by the commanding gen¬
eral, Sixth Corps area, Chicago.
Scrap Book Shows
Work of Bureau
A publicity scrap book contain¬
ing all articles in which Pasadena
junior college is concerned is the
biggest project of the new publicity
bureau, according to Doug Mc-
Mann. Definite steps were taken
last year to organize a book of
this nature, but no procedure hav¬
ing been established, the project is
yet incomplete. Twelve art stu¬
dents aided in compiling this book.
It is hoped by Doug McMann that
this year’s publicity book will be
an inovation the school can be
proud of. Each page will have its
individual make up; and the chro¬
nological order of events will be
followed throughout the book.
Kamehameha school at Honolu¬
lu have been furnished with pic¬
tures of the upper division varsfiy
football team, cartoons, line ups,
and stories in preparation for the
coming game.
With the Rose bowl as a center
all cities near-by are to be used in
expanding the junior college and
advertising school events. The
publicity bureau will place posters
in schools and stores, and articles
will be published in the news¬
papers of Alhambra, South Pasa¬
dena, Glendale, Eagle Rock, Bur¬
bank, Monrovia, Sierra Madre,
Arcadia, and all other cities with¬
in the ten miles.
The present pub;! -ity campaigns
of the bureau include football, and
and the Bauble and Bells play,
‘Seven Keys to BalJpate.”

‘ Blind Ploughman , 9 by Blind Singer
Features First Vesper Service
The first vesper services were
institflted on Sunday, November 3,
in the junior college auditorium,
with approximately 800 adults and
students present.
Eric Strutt, president of the stu¬
dent body, presided. The service
started with a hymn, “How Firm a
Foundation,” under the direction
of Miss Lula C. Parmley. The in¬
vocation was given by Rev. H. L.
Caldwell of the Calvary Baptist
church, and the response by the
choral clubs of the junior college.
Two beautiful violin solos, “Ca¬
vatina,” by Rax, and “Sehon Ros-
marin,” by Fritz Kreisler, were
presented by Emil Briano accom¬
panied by Mrs. Amy Grau Miller
at the piano.
Featuring this program were the
selections of Calvin Hendricks, who
sang “One Sweetly Solemn
Thought,” by Ambrose, and “The
Blind Ploughman” by Clark. He
was accompanied by Kathryn War¬
ner Barnard. Mr. Hendricks is a
senior at U. S. C. and won first
place in the men’s division of the
Southern California Atwater Kent
contest.
John A. Sexson introduced Dr.
Bruce F. Baxter. “Pasadena jun¬
ior college is a pioneer,” said Mr.
Sexson, in introducing Dr. Baxter.
“It is not an overgrown high school
nor a half developed college, but
an institution distinct in itself,
which must form its own traditions,
standards and ideals. These ves¬
per services are an expression of
the desires to bring something of
spiritual value into our junior col¬
lege life.” Dr. Baxter is chaplain
at the University of Southern Cali¬
fornia. His topic was “Open
Doors,” and he presented it with
a zest that held interest during the
entire talk. “There are three doors,”
said Dr. Baxter. “One of mutiny
and obedience, another of self and
service, and the third of reverence
and religion.” “If more speakers
like Dr. Baxter can be obtained
these vesper services should be a
great success,” said Eric Strutt.
Dr. Baxter’s speech was followed
by the benediction and response by
the girls’ sextette. This was the
first of a series of services to
which the students and public are
cordially invited.

i cal education department.
| Native costumes, some worn by
foreign students, 27 national flags,
and lighting effects made the stage
j a brilliant setting for the prologue.
Janet F. Brown was chairman of
decorations.
S. C. Woo, student at Cal Tech,
! played a Chinese instrument; Julia
Spencer and Muriel Kibby rendered
a Russian dance; John Drummond,
leader of a Scots band in Los An¬

SENIOR HOP
BIDS BEING
SOLD NOW
Masonic Temple to Be Scene
of Event; Date Is
November 16
CORD, COTTON AFFAIR
Dancing and Cards Furnish
Main Attractions at
Senior Prom
Dancing and card playing will
feature the senior hop to be given
Saturday, November 16, at the Ma¬
sonic temple. Bids are selling for
$1 and may be obtained at the east
student body office, from any offi¬
cer of the senior class, or dance
committee member. The bids are
selling rapidly and Howard Me-
Burney, class president, urges sen¬
iors to secure them as quickly as
possible. With the exception of the
prom, this will probably be the
only senior dance given this year.
The affair is for seniors only, to
the extent that one member of each
couple must be a full fledged sen¬
ior who has paid his class dues.
Boys are requested to wear cords,
and girls cotton or wash dresses.
Jazz music will be furnished by
Capt. L. H. Love and his four Mu¬
sical Musketeers. Paul Johnson, a
P. J. C. student, is a member of
this orchestra.
Simplicity is to be the keynote
of the dance. There will be no
dance programs and a friendly
spirit will prevail. Bridge will be
played upstairs by those who do
not care to dance. The decorations
will be carried out in a decidedly
collegiate theme with red and white
as chief colors. All advisers of the
senior class are invited. According
to Mary Jenkins, punch in large
quantities will be served. Many
novel features have been planned
for between the dances, among
them a costume dance to be given
by Helen McMasters.
The chairman of the social com¬
mittee is Mary Jenkins, and her
assistants are Mary Louise Shea
and Radford Dartnell. The pub¬
licity committee under Kent Dick-
erman includes Marjorie Sturgis,
Florence De Clerque, and Miles
Kemper.
“Get your tickets soon, and come
to get acquainted with the mem¬
bers of your class. This is the so¬
cial event of the year, so don’t miss
it,” says Howard McBurney, senior
president.
Thrilling Play
Drawing Nearer
j A sleek hero, a beautiful hero¬
line, and seven villains are but a
| few of the many attractions an¬
ticipated in the forthcoming Bau¬
ble and Bells play, “Seven Keys to
Baldpate,” on November 22, in the
junior college auditorium.
A winter storm howls outside
while a brutal murder is committed
in a scene of hilarious laughter.
Dead men walk while the ghost of
Baldpate slithers through the fore¬
ground. The actors are nearly deaf
from the gun play needed for re¬
hearsals.
Jeanne Thomson, as “Mary Nor¬
ton,” the heroine, will wear a mag¬
nificent gray fur coat, and Eve
Violette, as AMyra Thornhill,” is
murdered in an equally magnificent
white ermine coat.
A pair of handcuffs lying on
Miss Kester’s desk were identified
as the ones to be used on one of
the seven villains.
The play is one of the most dif¬
ficult to costume that Bauble and
Bells has ever attempted. Winter
clothes are so extremely hard to
acquire in Southern California that
it was work to discover overshoes,
mufflers, heavy coats, and other
regalia needed to give a winter ef¬
fect.
The play has all the fun of a
farce, the extravaganza of a melo¬
drama, and the eerie effects of a
genuine mystery thriller. Earl Derr
Biggers, the author, is renowned
for his mysterious, thrilling lines.
