VOL. XIV
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, NOVEMBER 10, 1922
No. 10
The original Armistice Day marked the beginning of peace, but to¬
morrow will be nothing but pieces, for Pasadena is traveling south
to meet the heavy Santa Ana football team. Headed by Captain Wil¬
cox, an All- Southern man, the Saints have a very formidable team,
and by some dopesters are given a slight edge over the Bulldogs. The
last year’s Southern California champs have defeated ever team they
have met, except one, the latter being a practice game in the early
season. That was Lincoln, but as Santa Ana beat Manual 26-0, and
Manual ran off with the glutton’s share of the. 20-6 result of their
tussle with the Bulldogs, things point to big activity.
Coach “Pinky” Griffith is work¬
ing hard to bring the Crown Town
team about for their best efforts
for the two final tussles. Capt.
Downs has almost recovered from
his wounded shoulder and will be
back in his starring job tomorrow
at passing, end running and line
plunging.
The front linesmen have a very
difficult task ahead of them to
clean out the heavy Saint guards
and tackles.
“Fer Instance”
There is Mr. Fipps, Anaite guard
who only carries around 230
pounds, and he knows how to use
it. Others whose actions carry
weight are Wood (165 pounds),
Stillens (165), Townsend (160),
Sheen (210); weights that would
be a help to any team.
With each succeeding game the
Southern team has been rolling up
large scores against their oppon¬
ents in the Orange County league,
and with Jabs, 170-pound fullback,
and a shifty back field, makes it
necessary that the Bulldogs be at
their strongest in order to hold
their own.
Also among the Saint’s back
field performers are Wurster, (140
pounds), Nailand, (135), Cook
(135), Le Bard (145), Luck, (130),
and Spencer (140), all capable of
doing damage.
Coach Morrison has some spark¬
ling ends in Coffman, (145 pounds),
Howell (154), Smith (135), Lan¬
caster (140), and Gardener (140).
Wait, there’s still more beef trust
from tackle to tackle among them
being Kunse (150 pounds) Duncan
(154), Stark (175), Coulsen (166),
Sheen (210), Linsenbard (150),
Kidder (155), Ritchie (180), and
the aforementioned Fipps (230),
and Townsend (160).
“This will be the longest trip for
the team in two years,” said Man¬
ager Kohler. “We need 2500 stu¬
dent supports to help us win.”
This game does not affct Pasa¬
dena’s standing as it is being play¬
ed in lieu of the Harvard Military
game scheduled last spring. Stu¬
dent body tickets are good for ad¬
mission and special trains will be
on hand to handle those who have
no other means of transportation.
Still Some Chance
The Bulldogs still have a swat
at the championship, providing
someone hands the Kitefliers a de¬
feat. Pray for their opponents to¬
day.
LATEST
Latest reports verify the
statement that no busses or
special trains will be run to
the Santa Ana game.
WAS SENIOR CLASS
PRESIDENT A GIRL?
Spied in a certain Los Angeles
high school paper of recent
date: “For the first time in the
history of the school, the Senior
class of Pasadena High School
has a boy president.”
It would be a shame to inform
this paper that they made a
mistake, but last year’s “girl”
president was quite a football
player on “Doc’s” lightweight
football team, and is at present
wearing boy’s clothing. Odd,
’isn’t it?
The president of the Senior
class of year before last seems
to be the star center on Califor¬
nia team. “She” is six feet tall
and weighs 180 pounds. “She”
is SOME girl.
GREAT MUSICIANS

Beginning Saturday evening,
January 6, the Pasadena Music and
Art Association will present a

ian National Chorus, Mischa El¬

SAFETY TREADS PLACED
ON GYMNASIUM STEPS
“That’s the second time I’ve ‘fell’
on those steps.” It will be the last
according to J. L McNatt, foreman
of construction who is supervising
the placing of safety treads on the
lower steps of the boy’s gymnasium
the Science building, and the Jane
Addams building.
The treads for the boys’ gymnas¬
ium were completed last Friday,
those for the Jane Addams building
on Monday.
The Second Team’s There
Remember the second team; al¬
though they don’t play, we could’nt
get along without them.
Over Forty Clubs
Now Organized In
Local High School
The listing and authorization of
all school clubs ha's been completed
by Miss Maude L. Oliver, who has
had charge of registering each or¬
ganization in Pasadena High
School. In this final list there are
forty clubs, and counting the di¬
visions of the Freshmen and Soph¬
omore classes, there are forty-two
in all. This brings up the total
near that of last year.
The clubs have been listed under
different groups, such as “Athlet¬
ic,” General” and “Literary and
Dramatic.” Among the new or¬
ganizations which have been estab¬
lished this year are the Tennis
club, toe Architectural club, the
Improvement club, a Spanish club,
Pro and Con Debating Club, the
Muscolites and a new literary club
as yet unnamed.
By a process of elimination, Ed¬
win Clark, now the feature editor
of the Chronicle was elected editor
of the Annual for the year 1922-
23, by the P. H. S. Commissioners
in a meeting on Wednesday. The
Commissioners sent the following
letter to Mr. Clark:
Dear Sir:
It is the pleasure of the Com¬
missioners of P. H. S. to inform
you that you have been duly elect¬
ed to the editorship of the Annual
for the year 1922-23.
In the interests of the Student
Body of this school, we hope that
this year’s Annual will be one of
the best publications ever turned
out in this high school from all
standpoints.
Wishing you much success in
this important position of editing
the Annual, we are,
Sincerely yours,
THE COMMISSIONERS
The proceedure of electing the
Annual editor is based on scholar¬
ship rating and journalistic ability.
First, the list of all Seniors who
expect to graduate is placed into
the hands of the publications com¬
mittee, which committee proceeds
to investigate the scholarship and
journalistic record of each student
on the list. All those whose grades
show that the student needs all the
time for his studies are thus elimi¬
nated. Then all those who have
had no work in journalism are
eliminated. Still further, all those
who decline the nomination for
some reason or other are taken
from the list. The final list is
then submitted to the Commission¬
ers. This year it contained the fol¬
lowing names: Edwin Clark, Ev¬
erett Delgrave, Terrel DeLapp,
Dorothy Hobson, Arthur Johnson,
Lucille Kohl, Dorothy McLain,
Maud Miller, Margaret Strehle,
Evelyn Warnke. From these ten
Edwin Clark was elected.
SCHOOL AFFAIRS TO BE
CHAPERONED BY P.T. A.
Chaperones from the P. T. A.
have been selected for school
games, both here and out of town,
school entertainments, and other
affairs where chaperones are ad¬
visable.
Resolved : The Inter - Allied
War Debts Should Be Can¬
celed is Question
TWO SQUADS APPOINTED
Debating Class Has Library
and Librarian of
Its Own
Resolved: That the Inter- Allied
war debts should be canceled.
This is the question that is to be
debated with Hollywood here on
the evening
of December
8. The team
has not been
chosen, but
two squads
are organiz¬
ing the ma-
material that
is to be found
on the affirm¬
ative side.
The two squads are as follows:
First squad, Bemadine Hand,
James McCormack, Louise Bennett,
John Maxson, Ruth Joscelyn, Er¬
nest Turner, Michael Dolan, John
Adams, Datus Smith, and Irene
Pridham; second squad, Harwood
Larson, Ruth Clark, John Ellis,
Virginia Sage, Ruth Legonfelter,
Louise Most, Douglas Lowndes,
Dorothy Randolph, Francis Wilcox,
Ruth Swift, Elizabeth Bixby, Syn-
thia Summers, Jacque Bloodgood,
and George Tapper.
A library has been organized for
the use of the debaters. Urban
Morf, a member of the class, is the
librarian. The library consists of
all magazines, newspapers, and
books that deal with either side of
the question.
Two questions were submitted to
the Hollywood High School by
James McCormack, P. H. S. Com¬
missioner of Debating. The ques¬
tions were: Resolved, That the
United States should join the.
League of Nations, and Resolved,
That the Inter-Allied War Debts
should be canceled.
When Pasadena submits the
question to an opponent, it is that
opponent’s privilege to choose one
of the questions as well as the side
to debate. The Hollywood coach,
B. Ralston, a retired lawyer, chose
the later question and the negative
side.
Absences Checked
Up By Notifying
Pupils' Parents
In order to check up on students
who have been absent or “cutting”
during the first semester. Miss Ida
E. Hawes, Director of Attendance,
has mailed to the parents of Pasa¬
dena High School pupils, a report
on the attendance of every indi¬
vidual.
The cards which have been sent
out have a record of the total num¬
ber of times the student has been
absent, number of times excused
on account of illness, total excuses
issued for business matters, and
the total of unexcused absences.
The dates of all the absences are
also given on the cards.
On the reverse side of the notices
is a message to the parents ex¬
plaining the reason for sending the
cards, and asking the fathers and
mothers to check up on the ab¬
sences of their sons and daughters
in high school who have given their
“word of honor as a loyal P. H. S.
student” that the real reason for
absence was truthfully given and
that it was “with the knowledge
and consent of his parents or guar¬
dian.” The attendance department
is desirous of continuing students
on its roll of honor.
SOPHOMORE OFFICERS
ELECTED AT MEETINGS
As the Sophomore class is divid¬
ed into two sections, 10-1 and 10-2,
there are two officer for each class
office.
«
The result of the Sophomore
election, which was held recently,
is the following. In the 10-1 group
John Moore was elected president,
receiving a majority over Walter
Benedict. Bernice Norton and Hel¬
en Edwards, who were running for
vice-president, will be voted for
again, because of a tie. Hazel
Kay was elected to fill the office of
secretary. Mary Macy Staats was
the other candidate. Donald Ham¬
blin received more votes than Doris
Jeannin for treasurer.
Because the 10-1 section did not
nominate a candidate for vice-
president, it was decided that the
person running for president who
did not receive a majority, should
be vice-president, Edward Higgins
was elected president, so Ruth
Hubley became vice-president. A
unanimous vote was cast for Na¬
talie Vincenti as secretary. James
Allen was also elected unanimously
as class treasurer.
GETOUT ALLTHEOLD
CLOTHES, BRETHREN
Shine up the old stovepipe lid, boys, and get out your grandad’s
multi-colored vest and checkered suit. Girls, you had better start
looking up the ol’ red flannel dress and the ancient sunbonnet and all
the other old duds.
Yep, the old Day is to be revived, and moreover, will be revived
before many moons have passed. Last year the carnival took the
place of this time-honored event and so the scrubs (i. e. Freshmen)
and the humble Sophs will experience something new.
> The History
Many years ago, when the Pasadena Bulldog was but a pup,
there were no bleachers adorning the athletic field. A game was
scheduled for the last of a certain week and everybody wondered
where people were going to sit. Finally the principal hit upon the
idea of having “Old Clothes Day” in which all the youths in the insti¬
tution would get busy and erect a grandstand. They erected one all
right, and liked the idea so well that they celebrated the same event
the next year. Each year this was repeated and thus the “Old
Clothes Day” came about.
This year the big event will come off on Wednesday, the 15th,
to celebrate the big Long Beach games, the Lightweights playing on
the 16th, and the Varsity on the 17th.
