He was accompanied by Adjutant Al¬ bert Engvall and members of the drum corps. Students of the Pasa¬ dena high school, who lost their lives during the World War, were honored hv David Allen, major in ■the local R. О. T. C., and, in their honor, taps were sounded by mem¬ bers of the Bulldog hand. It has long been a custom of Pasadena junior college to hold an Armistice assembly. This year the convocation is estimated to have attracted about 1500 students to hear Dr. Sexson and to honor the American Legion. DANCING CLASS PLANS ARE TOLD With Sergeant William B. Mor¬ gan unable to attend, due to an automobile accident, the Reserve Officers Training corps, of Pasa¬ dena junior college, nevertheless held their dress review in his hon¬ or, last Friday morning before an assembly held on the bleachers.

Bertholet, and Cadet Major David Allen, who was in charge of man¬ euvers. Gift Delayed The review- was held in honor of Sergeant Morgan, for his service of nineteen years in the junior col¬ lege. In appreciation of this ser¬ vice the members of Shield and Eagle club, in conjunction with the remainder of the R. О. T. C., had planned to make a gift of a gold watch to the Sergeant, but were unable to do so, due to his unfor¬ tunate accident. Assisting the R. О. T. C. was the marching unit of the Bulldog band, playing military marches. Cadet Major David Allen was abetted by his staff of officers, in¬ cluding Cadet Captain Adjutant David Warwick, Cadet Captains Robert Palmer, and Ira Cheaney, of A and В companies, respec¬ tively. Cadet first lieutenants in¬ cluded Melvin Cundiff, James Mof- fitt and James Stivers. Cadet sec¬ ond lieutenants are Richard Fret- ter, Harry Findley and Henry Shaw. Sergeant Morgan has served 30 years in the United States Army, having seen service in the Philip¬ pines, Russia, China and Alaska, previous to the years he spent at Pasadena junior college. Included in the sergeant’s accomplishments at Pasadena were the assisting of training of several trophy winning rifle teams. In honor of the men who died in the war, and of Armistice Day, taps were sounded, while the R. O. T. C. stood at attention. This was followed by a minute of silence and then the band broke into the stir¬ ring strains of the “Star-Spangled Banner.” Mrs. Josephine Wilcox, of Pasa¬ dena, was chosen as head teacher in charge of the Pasadena junior college ballroom dancing class at a meeting of the student social af¬ fairs committee, held in the office of Miss Catherine J.

All of the girls in the Pasadena junior college and in the upper grades at Muir technical high school will parade during their gym period before a committee of student judges. The girls who are chosen in this process will go be¬ fore another group of judges com¬ posed of the Tournament of Roses committee members.

Groups Vie For Prizes Vying for the best score in daily attendance, all restrictive and non- restrictive clubs will have their records tabulated for the attend¬ ance contest on Friday and Satur¬ day, December 4 and 5, by the Or¬ ganizations committee, sponsor for the contest, working with Mrs. Ma¬ bel White, who is in charge of the attendance office. The purpose of the contest, which opened November 2 and will con¬ tinue to December 2, is to promote a better attendance record for the entire junior college, because each absence, besides being a detriment to the individual student’s scholas¬ tic record, lowers the funds pro¬ vided by the state for the school, according to Bill Weil, secretary of the organizations committee. Five dollars cash and- a silver loving cup will be presented to the winning club, with two dollars to the club with the second highest score, and one dollar to the club in third position.

Hay, flying instruc¬ tor and adviser, as guests of hon¬ or, the Air Coeds, newly formed women’s aviation club, will hold a potluck supper meeting tonight at the home of Ruth Anderson, 2034 Beverly drive. As more opportunities such as special demonstrations and excur¬ sions to flying fields are open to a larger group and which are not available for a smaller club of this type, each member now enrolled is asked to bring as many women stu¬ dents and teachers as possible to the _ supper, said Ruth Battelle, president of the group.

Open Student Body ‘Hop’ To be Held at Civic Tonight at 8:30 Attending regular sessions on November 13 and 14 at the Hotel body dance sponsored by the social affairs committee, will be held to¬ night starting at 8:30, in the Civic auditorium. Bids for the dance are still on sale by Argonauts, and may be obtained in the Student Union building or tonight at the door. Rob Mohr’s orchestra will fur¬ nish the music for the dance, and during the intermission, special en¬ tertainment; consisting of school talent, will be presented. “Contrary to first reports, the dance will be informal, and not semi-formal, as originally planned. This is because of the generally un¬ favorable student reaction to a semi-formal dance,” said Ellen Lombard, secretary of social af¬ fairs. Included in the committee work¬ ing under her are Margaret Ar¬ nold and Joan Kellogg, who en¬ gaged the orchestra; Georgianna Stacy and Patsy Burr, designers of the bids; Rosalie Meub, entertain¬ ment chairman, and Barbara Lom¬ bard, who is in charge of publicity for the event. “The Cannon Ball is open to the entire student body, and is expected to draw the largest crowd of any dance during the year,” said Miss Lombard. As tomorrow is Armis¬ tice day, a holiday, everyone should be able to attend, she said.
