O. S. F., restrictive club, was found to be the winner with a total of 676 rec¬ ords. Tney were presented with a cup by the Order of Mast and Dagger at the assembly last Fri¬ day, and a dinner party next week by the music department. Phenix was second with 240, followed by Zama, 172, and Pam- phile, 92. Other organizations who helped in the drive were M. O. S., Abracadabra, Filogian, Clio and One club. The objective of the drive was nearly reached when 6,000 records were accumulated, assuring two Victor radio victrolas which will be used by the music department, and for the student body social affairs and meetings. A third, if obtained, will be used for general classwork. It is with the hope of securing this last victrola that the drive will be continued next week. Collections are being taken in classes which will buy old and broken records at a cent and a half each. Kit Cartwright, chairman of the competitive drive, expressed appre¬ ciation for the cooperation of the organizations. “We feel that those clubs which have entered have defi¬ nitely shown an interest in the school,” she remarked, “an interest that cannot be praised too highly. Frankly, we are proud of these groups, and feel that all those who profess loyalty to the school should be too.”- Miss Kathryn Barnard is chairman of the entire drive. VERSE CHOIR TO GIVE PROGRAMS Creating musical settings of un¬ dulating waves beating on coral beaches and dusky natives swaying to jungle rhythms, George Brown and his orchestra have been chosen to play at the Senior- Sophomore Ball at the Civic auditorium, No¬ vember 27. Kit Cartwright and Charles Bra¬ den are actively heading the com¬ mittees working on plans and pre¬ dict a dance novel to the junior col¬ lege, both in theme, decorations and music. Senior committee heads include Elizabeth Searles, bid selections; orchestra, Marjorie Betts; Fred Parks, concessions; Kay West, pa¬ trons; Lyndon Vivrette, decora¬ tions; and Bud Paulson, publicity. In the sopohomore class commit¬ tees are composed of Billie Crain, bid distribution; Bill Feasley, or¬ chestra; Barbara Millikan, theme; and Art Shipman, decorations. Committees are being aided by- Maurice Hoerger and Stanley Bald- jwin. senior, sophomore advisers, re¬ spectively. Bids Free Bids are free to all twelfth and fourteenth year students and will be distributed from the student body office in the student union building three days preceding the hop. Pre¬ sentation of student body card will be requested. The theme centers around the ball as it might be presented on the Island of Bali. Decorations influ¬ enced by the Bali Ball theme will include artificial palm trees, coco¬ nuts and monkeys, with suprise wall plaques depicting Bali scenes. John Callier will sing with George Brown’s band having per¬ formed at the junior college during the home-coming jungle dance the [first week of school. The Bali Ball is, however, not a jungle dance, but carries an entirely different motif throughout bids, decorations and theme said the two class presi¬ dents. To help the students to gain an idea of the vocation in which they are interested, Vocational Day, under the general direction of the guidance department, is to be held today during assembly period. Ray¬ mond Kahn, associate justice, is the student head of the affair. Representing every department in the school, speakers whose life work is in wil various vocations to be represented, will give lectures in meetings to be held in various places on the campus. The subject, time, place and speaker are listed on the third page of this issue of the Chronicle. Miss Ida E. Hawes, dean of guid¬ ance, said, “Vocational Day is en¬ joyed more by students than any other annual event presented by the college.” Tickets to the different confer¬ ences have been handed out; al¬ though possession of a ticket is not necessary for ' entrance. Students holding tickets will be given pref¬ erence over those who do not. It is thought, however, that the student body will be so well distributed between the various meetings that none will be overcrowded. Miss Hawes further said, “There are so many different subjects be¬ ing presented that we, of the guid- dance department feel that there must be at least one meeting which will interest the most hard-to- please.” s a preliminary to the affair, a survey of what the students in the various departments intended to take up as a life work, was made. It was found that the business and secretarial departments were the most desired. Following those came the social sciences, biological sci¬ ence, physical science and mathe¬ matics. Rates Made For Posters Two December engagements have been scheduled for the verse speaking choir, composed of stu¬ dents in Speech 54A. On Decem¬ ber 3 the choir will appear before the Shakespeare club in its sixth annual performance. Then, on December 16, they will present a half-hour program for the Glen¬ dale Teachers’ institute. Dr. Hopkins Is Speaker With nothing but praise for the present junior college plan, Dr. Thomas L. Hopkins, professor of education at Columbia university, has been addressing teachers’ meet¬ ings. Pasadena has gone further in actual procedure than any other community with the new education¬ al system although many have talked about it.” Dr. Hopkins jour¬ neys to the coast twice a year to hold conferences with local teachers on topics relating to curriculum and school procedure. The educator gave special praise to the newly initiated survey courses. “They bring the whole scope of education closer to living today,” he said. “Emphasis has been placed upon how to learn, work and study. When one has finished a school such as yours, he knows how to attack any problem. Here you learn how to do things.” Culminating a two week’s stay today, Dr. Hopkins leaves for the East after a special conference with junior college instructors. Jim Mathews, secretary of pub¬ licity, announced that prices have been lowered for campus advertis¬ ing work done by students of the art department. Clubs and asso¬ ciations wishing publicity should make requests through the office of the publicity bureau, located in the student union building. Rates on regular and illustrated posters, as well as paper banners, have been lowered. In a letter to the secretary of publications, A. M. Wedemeyer, chairman of the college art de¬ partment, said: “All art work done in our department must be of an educational nature for the good of tne student. We cannot accept work that is to be turned out by wholesale; that is the work of the print shop. We cannot accept work that is merely a clean-up job that someon else could not complete. That is no challenge to the think¬ ing student.” “Requests for posters and- other art work should be in at least two weeks ahead of the date set for the event to be publicized,” stated Jim Mathews. “A complete list of the new rates will be sent to each club and faculty member.” asks public Education Week Ends Sunday As Democracy Chosen National Theme Each Day Devoted To Separate Phase Of Education; Student Radio Broadcasts Feature Of Work; Nation-wide Paper Contest Held ♦ - With the general theme of "School and Democracy” worked out in the week's program.

Senior Class To Give Play Life,” “The School and Recrea¬ tion,” and “Education and the Good Life.” Concerning the relationship of the citizens of this country to the American Education week, Dr. John W. Harbeson, principal of the college, said, “It is very appropri¬ ate at this time to direct the at¬ tention of our nation to the school system. It is essential that our country develop a generation of people who will make democracy work. A broad education is neces¬ sary for this. It is also essential that an individual develop his per¬ sonality and character to the full, have a broad cultural background.” Contests Held As features of the week, con¬ tests between schools were held all over the country covering many subjects. Among the contests were several journalism competitions. This issue of the Chronicle is to be sent to the East to be entered in contests there. Programs emanating from the East and over the NBC hookups, were presented each day and fol¬ lowed the subject for the day on which they were given. At the same time articles appeared in newspapers all over the country. Many of the articles were written by students. The Pasadena Post, local morn¬ ing daily, carried articles in last Monday’s paper. The articles were by students of the Pasadena junior college, and carried out the phases of the subject in detail. As a local feature of the week, the Chronicle staff wrote and edited Monday’s edition of the Post. Importance Dr. Harbeson further mentioned the importance of American Edu¬ cation week in connection with a determined drive for world peace which is being carried on in the world today. “A country of un¬ educated people cannot have enough background to appreciate the need for peace to the full,” said Dr. Harbeson. The aim of the week is to bring to the public eye the importance of tne American school in today’s civilization. This aim was carried in the programs, in editorials, and feature stories in newspapers and in the contests which were held.
