Terriers Seek Revenge for
Last Year’s Defeat
By Bulldogs
Hide and hair should fill the
ozone around Horrell field this aft¬
ernoon when Muir Tech’s Terriers
battle the P. J. C. lower division
Bulldogs for one of the season’s
choicest bones — the Crown City
title. The game gets under way
at 2:30.
Captain Word Nollar and his
championship - bound playmates
hope to bring the home-town dia¬
dem to the local institution for
the second consecutive year and
the Terriers would like nothing
better than to avenge last year’s
defeat. Followers of the Orange
and Grey would be willing to for¬
give and forget a mediocre season
if the Muirmen should trip up the
1933 creation of Coaches John
Thurman and Carl Metten.
How They Stand
If the uptown boys emerge with
a victory they will pull up even
with the locals as regards games
won and lost during the five-year
rivalry between the two schools.
Pasadena boasts two victories to
the Terriers’ one, with the odd fra¬
cas resulting in a tie.
As the teams lined up for last
year’s struggle the tenacious Ter¬
riers were leading the Foothill
league pack and Coach Thurman’s
charges were batting .500 in the
Coast loop. Today it is a different
story. Muir has compiled a .500
mark in its league and Pasadena
heads the Coast pennant-chasers.
Pasadena Favored
A comparison of seasonal rec¬
ords of the teams in today’s strug¬
gle reveals the Crimson horde as
heavy favorites. The locals wal¬
loped Ventura, South Pasadena,
Lincoln, and Cathedral by decisive
margins in practice games and
then went on to blank Santa Ana,
Glendale, and Alhambra in league
competition.
Pasadena has yet to have its
goal line crossed in seven games,
only being kept out of the un-
scored-on class by a safety
chalked up against the Bulldogs
in the South Pasadena game.
The Tech gang, after good early
season showings, dropped a lop¬
sided tiff to Herbert Hoover high
in their first league start, the loss
of George Anderson, stellar back
and Southern California 220 cham¬
pion, severely hampering any of¬
fensive threats. The Terriers then
tied South Pasadena, the Tigers
having previously been downed, 13
to 2, by the local outfit.
Last week the Lincoln avenue
boys stumbled to a 25-to-14 win
over the much bounced-about Bur¬
bank Spudders. When comparing
scores Tech followers make haste
to point out that the Terrier team
beat Glendale, 26 to 0, for one of
their practice victories, while the
Bulldogs beat the Dynamiters by

Ruling of Bank
Is Discussed By
Student Leaders
Open discussion of the new
ruling that restrictive clubs
must carry their accounts in the
school bank, was held in the so¬
cial hall this morning.
The meeting was called by
Dean Catherine J. Robbins, re¬
strictive club adviser, to clear
up misunderstanding of the re¬
quirement, which was first ex¬
plained to the presidents and
advisers of the restrictive
groups in a meeting last week.
Walter E. Wilcox, local treas¬
urer, would like to make it clear
that the expenditures of the
clubs will not be questioned,
unless they are against admin¬
istrative proceedings.
Tables, Teas
Are Features
To Present
Play Parody
The all-student production,
“Child Who Slanders,” a burlesque
melodrama written by Frederick
Jennison, a junior college student,
will be presented on December 15,
on Horrell field.
The play is centered about an old
homestead in the year 1890 in the
middle of winter. Square dances,
which add to the color of the play,
are under the direction of Jane
Maxey, a student here. The affair
is an annual production, a take-off
on the Christmas play, “The Child
of Flanders.”
A permanent cast has been se¬
lected, with those taking part as
follows:
Ada Witherspoon, Katherine
West; Aunt Eulia Finchly, Mary
Louise Perry; Uncle Ezra Finchley,
Norbert Bundschuh; Egbert Simp¬
son, George Bessolo; Minnie Gas-
perfield, Virginia Daly; Tom Fool¬
ery, John Love; Lemuel Wither¬
spoon, Andrew Carnahan; Willa
Roberts, director; Leland Hough¬
ton, stage manager; and Woodrow
Sinclair, prop manager.
AH departments are participat¬
ing to make this production a suc¬
cess. Archibald M. Wedemeyer,
art department head, is the faculty
adviser.
Round tables and tea will be the
highlights of the social affairs
function, scheduled for next Tues¬
day afternoon
at 3 o’clock, in
the social hall.
All students in-
te rested in
learning more
about school
government and
social life are
invited to come.
Miss Cather¬
ine J. Robbins,
dean of women,
and Miss Eliza¬
beth Wheeler,
social science
instructor, will
present two-
minute talks on
the different phases of college ac¬
tivities. Student heads who will
speak include Loretta Melton, A.
W. S. president; Harriett Tilden,
secretary of activities; Bob Simp¬
son, senior class president; Nox--
man Ricker, secretary of ath¬
letics; Frances McNerney, W. A.
A. president; and Les Clark, in¬
ter-restrictive club council presi¬
dent. General topics Which they
will discuss are service points,
athletics, activities, etiquette, per¬
sonality, conversation, social af¬
fairs and dubs.
Plans have been made by the so¬
cial affairs committee under the
direction of Mary Linek. If this
get-together is successful, another
will probably be held at some later
date.

Flames Of
Bonfire To
Instill Pep
Flames from the 50-foot Lancer
rally bonfire will instill a “growl”
into the Bulldog eleven next Fri¬
day night at Tournament Park,
and may cause the Long Beach
Jackrabbits to stretch long legs
elsewhere.
Junior college students will take
part in a pep rally, from 7:30 to
8 p. m., and then proceed in a
noisy and colorful parade through
Pasadena’s downtown district to
the mens’ gym, where a student
body rally dance will take place.
The bonfire program will con¬
sist of selections by the Bulldog
band and cheers and songs by the
yell-kings. Following this item
of the program, the final judgment
on the Whiskerino contest will be
made. Many are entered in the
contest and speculation as to who
will sport the sturdiest crop of
brush is already hotly disputed.
No bids are necessary to the
dance, as admission is free.
Working under Mary Linek, so¬
cial secretary planning the dance,
are Henriette Smith, Margaret
Mulvaney, Keith Cave, Bud Desen-
berg and Harrison Breyer. Pa¬
trons and patronesses are A. R.
Baldwin, Miss Catherine J. Rob¬
bins and Miss Ruth L. Com-ad.
Banners, pom-pons and other
articles synonymous with colle¬
giate activities will carry out the
conflagration theme. The dance,
featux-ing Gene Duncan’s music, is
planned to climax the ti’aditional
“pep-pyre.”

Pasadena junior college Bulldog
band will immediately follow the
brilliant array of costumes and
flags of all nations and precede

dist church, in division one of the
Armistice Day parade, to be held
tomorrow morning at 10 a. m.
Under the command of Captain
Geoffrey Galwey, the junior col¬

This is to be the largest Armis¬
tice Day parade ever staged in
Pasadena and will march over the
downtown section of the city, in
celebration of peace and the termi¬
nation of hostilities of the World
Wai-, on November 11, 1918.
Four divisions will make up the
parade, which will include many
school bands. War veterans, pa¬
triotic, civic and military groups,
fraternal orders and Boy Scout
troops will number among partici¬
pants.
The itinerary will be west on
Colorado street to Fair Oaks, north
to Holly, east on Holly to Ray¬
mond., noi-th on Raymond to dis¬

In the reviewing stands, which
will be located on the east side of
Raymond avenue, opposite the new
armory, will be members of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Wit¬
nessing the review with them will
be the various patriotic organiza¬
tions of the city.
COURSE DROPPING
“Students who plan to drop
courses must do so before the
close of the day on Friday, No¬
vember 17,” is the official state¬
ment of John A. Anderson, dean
of records.
Plans are being carried out for
j the annual R.

Hoinanary
Cadet Captain contest, to be held
i early in December, in which every
girl in school is eligible. The win¬
ner will be' presented with an ihon-
orax-y cadet captain’s commission
on the day of the R. O. parade.
Fifteen girls will be entered in
the finals, a free portrait of each
i being given to the committee hand¬
ling the contest. These pictures,
in turn, will be turned over to the
members of the unit, who will vote-
on them. The girl with the high¬
est number of votes will win.
There is expected to be a large
turnout as each woman’s club will
have o,ne repx-esentative in the pre¬
liminaries. The sponsors wish to
emphasize the fact that it is not
limited to club members but is
open to any woman student. A
good representation of the whole
school thereby, is expected.
This contest is sanctioned by ;
the administration staff and is un- !
der complete direction of the R.

T. C. It is one of the many '
events that the local camp is spon¬
soring to build up school spirit.
Girls who wish to sign up should
write their names and addresses
on a slip of paper and put it in
the ballot box, which will be plac¬
ed in the Chronicle office.
Set Schedule
Of Programs
Students desiring to make ap¬
pointments with their counselors
in regard to next semester’s
programs, may sign up at win¬
drow 5 between 7:30 and 9:30
each day during the week of No¬
vember 13 to 17, with the excep¬
tion of students in the 12 and 14
years, whose names are included
from I to Z. These may get
appointments this week.
Students In Caravan Celebrate Coming
Of Peace Measures To Troubled World
With the banners of 56 nations
flying side by side in the breeze,
a caravan of students bearing
peace slogans marched from the
front steps to Horrell field this
morning to celebrate the coming
of peace to a war-troubled woi’ld,
in the junior college Armistice
Day ceremonies.
Carrying a portion of the Bull¬
dog band, a fleet of Austin trucks
followed in the lead, of Frances
Keyes, who was arrayed in white
robes to represent “Internation¬
alism.” The student crowd started
on its way afer a few moments of
“soap-boxing” by world peace
supportei's.
Assembly Address
Dr. Theodore G. Soares ad¬
dressed the assembly on “True
Patriotism,” stressing the neces¬
sity for internationalism— -friend-
I
ship between the nations of the
earth — transcending national pa¬
triotism. Dr. Soares, pastor of
the Neighborhood church, former¬
ly a professor at the Chicago uni¬
versity, is now conducting classes
at Caltech.
His talk is the climax of a
week’s campaign to publicize by
posters and by speakers the In¬
ternational Week under ,the
sponsorship of the Y. M. C. A.
and Y. W. C. A. as a part of the
world youth movement to abol¬
ish war. The two organizations
are working in conjunction with
the World Student Christian
Federation, an international
student union which contacts
students in more than 45 coun¬
tries to bring about harmonious
relations among the nations.
The students with whom the W.
S. C. F. comes in contact in its
world conferences return to their
respective countries, there to
spread their knowledge and infor¬
mation gained at the convention to
groups of their nationals. Re¬
sults of such conferences, even in
such areas as Shanghai during the
conflict there, have been so favor¬
able, say W. S. C. F. advocates,
that they show the great possibili¬
ties for world peace when entrust¬
ed to interested youth groups.
Russian Dance
A Russian national dance, given
by members of the Russian Dance
studio, and Kipling’s “Recessional,”
sung by the glee club, continued
the spirit of peace celebration.
In a final ceremony, long brass
trumpets sounded a parting salute
to those who gave their lives in
the Great War.
Pasadena citizens are rapidly be¬
coming “bomd-issue minded.” Hard¬
ly a meeting of any kind has gone
by dui'ing tfte last two weeks that
has not included a speaker on the
necessity of passing the school
bond issue, which comes up fox-
election on Friday, November 24.
During American Education j
Week, which is being observed this j
weex, a subject taken vp was ,
financial suppoi’t of the schools, of [
interest to Pasadenans, in that it
included study and discussion of
the earthquake damage situation in
Southern California.
Other days in which the subjects i
dealt in varying degrees with thej
Pasadena bond election were No¬
vember 8, when the subject was
“Whait Citizens May Do to Protect
the Schools,” and on Friday, No
vemiber 10, when the convention
took up the topic of “The Schools
and Reconstruction.”
No opportunities are being over¬
looked to get the importance of
the carrying of the bond election
on November 24 to the voting
population of the .city. Members of
the Board of Education and of the
local school administration are
kept busy addressing meetings
thx-oughout the city on the sub¬
ject.

Classes Here
Will Convene
A humorous skit, put on by the
Pasadena Community Playhouse,
the rhythmic music of George
King’s oi-chestra, and a surprise
number by an adjacent school will
liven the senior class meeting
next Friday, in the mens’ gym,
accoi’ding to Bob Simpson, senior
representative.'
Entertainment for the junior
meeting will include a short play,
featuring Gilbert Sumner and
Treva Scott, and several piano
selections by George Brown,
while his partner, Delos West,
does an “Egyptian Ella,” fol¬
lowing which a trio will per¬
form.
Freshmen and Sophomore meet¬
ings will be held, although the
programs have not been worked
out as yet.
Court Contempt
To Be Stopped
Students not appearing at
student court when receiving a
ticket or notice in school to the
effect that they have enfringed
upon a traffic ruling, will be
dealt with more severely than
those appearing, according to
Paul Jones, chief justice.
Court is held every , Friday
morning, at 10 o’clock, in Dean
J. P. O’Mara’s office. If the
students will not co-operate with
student rulings, traffic control
will have to be placed in police
hands, it was said.
“Have you ever been a wall¬
flower at every ball that you have
gone to, while other girls danced
and had a perfectly lovely time?
Have you ever been seated next to
the oldest, deafest members of the
community at every dinner party
you have gone to? Positively,
Aunt Ida, I’ve grown so now that
I can’t talk at a dinner party ex¬
cept through an ear trumpet.
With “orations” such as these
Celia Faraday will show you how
to gain popularity tonight at 8 p.
m., when the Bauble and Bells play
“Gi-een Stockings,” opens the
junior college dramatic season.
Since the junior college auditor¬
ium is not in use, the play will be
presented at Marshall junior high,
on Allen avenue near Mountain
street.
Gets Fiance
Celia, oldest daughter of the
Faraday family, is tired of wear¬
ing g;reen stockings at her sister’s
weddings. In order to avoid put¬
ting them on for a third time she
invents a fiance, even writes him a
letter. And the amazing thing. is
that the imaginary lover receives
it! He is a gallant, dashing,
young soldier who unexpectedly
appears on the scene.
“You’ll chuckle with glee and
roar with laughter as you watch
poor Celia squirm like a butter¬
fly on a pin point,” declared
Miss Katherine Kester, adviser
of the thespians and director of
the play.
Cecil Hendrickson, who was to
play Admiral Grice, in the comedy,
became ill at the last moment and
his part will be taken by Fred
Warriner, a former member of
Bauble and Bells, now active in the
Player’s Guild. Fred achieved dra¬
matic renown in the Southern
California Shakespeare Festival,
the Ruth Doolittle Memorial Con¬
test of Pasadena, portraying the
role of Shylock in the presentation
of the “Merchant of Venice” in
Busch Gardens.
Staff Co-operation
The excellent oo-operation be¬
tween the Marshall students and
faculty with the junior college is a
source of much comment among
the cast and directors. The Mar¬
shall stage craft class, under the
direction of Y. C. Howell, has con¬
structed a charming set represent¬
ing the library ano morning room
of an English country home.
Another group which has
worked to make this production
outstanding is the music concert
ensemble directed by Milton C.
Mohs. Mr. Mohs is well known
as a director of school orchestras,
and his ensemble of Pasadena
junior college musicians is well
received.

ords, will attend the eighth annual
convention of the Pacific Coast
association of Collegiate Regis¬
trars, to be held next week, No¬
vember 13 and 14, at Sacramento
