Warren Allen receives gavel block from Supreme Court Justice
Frances Stevenson.
Allen Honored
In Ceremony
A line of worry creased Warren Allen’s brow last Friday
when he was handed an ominous looking subpoena to appear
at a session of the Superior Court of the Junior College
Monday.
He hadn’t done anything; at least he couldn’t remember
that he had.
Well, actually Warren Allen had done something — but of
a different nature for which one usually attends court — War¬
ren Allen had served his school.
The qareer of Warren at PJC has been long and colorful.
Well-versed m law theory he brought to this school all his
knowledge and interest in that extra-curricular activity. He
was directly responsible in the re-forming of the JC consti¬
tution, court procedure, and the legal code.
But, as it is in many cases, true and outstanding recog¬
nition came to Warren infrequently, so Francis Stevenson,
superior court justice, presented Warren Allen an inscribed
gavel block on behalf of the legal society and the student
body during a brief ceremony, in recognition of his achieve¬
ments.
Justice Stevenson preceded his presentation with a for¬
mal, slightly pontificial statement concerning the reasons
(alleged) of the court’s convening.
After the ceremony was over, Allen heaved a sigh of re¬
lief, muttered, “You had me worried for a minute.”

Pasadena roads leading to the
Rose Bowl were full of cars, and
the roads in Los Angeles were
full of cars — all going to the
LACC-PJC game. Horns honked,
and played tunes; boys whistled
and girls sang; happiness was
the prevailing pre-game mood.
Everyone was happy, too, be¬
cause cars don’t hurt people
when drivers are careful, and
horns are harmless fun; whistl¬
ing and singing were outward
expressions of inward confi¬
dence in each home team.
Everybody parked his car and
entered the Bowl, where he met
old friends. Everybody talked
and laughed until the game be
gan. Then everybody settled
down to watch it.
But one girl didn’t see the
game. She had been happy too,
until a 14th year student in
front of her lit a giant fire¬
cracker which he carefully
tossed behind him. There was
no time to duck; besides the
seats were full of people. The
firecracker landed on the girl,

PJC Reputation
Injured By Acts
By DAVID DAVIS
Recently the reputation of
Pasadena Junior College as an
institution standing for fair play,
courtesy, and good sportsman¬
ship suffered severe blows when
conduct at the Rose Bowl neces¬
sitated police intervention. The
City Collegian, official organ of
the Los Angeles City College
student body accused PJC when
some of their buildings were
smeared with red paint.
It is the policy of the Chron¬
icle, the junior college’s own
paper, to severly condemn the
actions and activities of stu¬
dents of this caliber. It is true
that they are not representa¬
tives, but a few exceptions can
ruin a position that has taken
years to build. The true ap¬
praisal of the situation can
best be explained by the words
of Charles Eckles, teacher in
the physical science department
of the junior college.
“I speak as a teacher. What I
have to say will be in plain words
and directly to the point. Last
