Card Tricks, Rooting To
Be Sponsored By Pep
Commission
Hungry Bulldogs, eager for Pi¬
rate meat, will defend Pasadena
against the Northern Invaders to¬
night in the last Rose Bowl game
when the Pasadena team coached
by Bob McNeish meets the Ventura
Pirates.
Quoting from circulars sent out
to Pasadena by the public relations
committee, headed by Bob Hurt,
“At Last! The jinx is broken. The
Bulldog varsity has made more
yardage, completed more passes
than its opponents. We finally
shook off Lady Misfortune and beat
the tough Long Beach squad 7-0
and now the Ventura Pirates are
next ...”
Card tricks are again being spon¬
sored by the Pep Commission,
headed by Bud Paulson. Jack Page
directs the committee planning the
tricks aided by Billie Crain, Betty
Martin, Eveleth Clark and Stuart
Russell. “We have scheduled six
stunts including formation of a
Bulldog head and a skull and cross
bones design. Instructions will be
placed on each card and by follow¬
ing directions we will again have
excellent results,” said Page.
The Bulldog band, led by Audre
L. Stong, will parade during the
half, presenting new stunts recent¬
ly worked out for the Ventura
game.
John Trowbridge, Bob Lounsber-
ry and Stuart . Russell form the
committee to decorate the Bowl
with streamers of the colors of the
two institutions.
“With the cooperation of the
band, the public relations commit¬
tee, the pep commission, and the
entire student body, this game will
be an event no one will want to
miss,” said Paulson.

A collection of Victor records
was deposited at Bleeker house last
Wednesday when the deadline for
the Victor record competitive drive
between clubs was reached. 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.”

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.
Seniors leave the musical world
to take a plunge into the drama
field during the forthcoming class
meetings to be held during assem¬
bly period Friday, December 18.
An unnamed drama, now being
written by Kit Cartwright and Bud
Paulson, will be presented with a
cast including Kay West, Don
Mansfield, Barbara Bennett, Carter
Cordner, Lois Hodapp, Roy Burr
and Bud Paulson. According to
President Cartwright all other
classes will be invited to the per¬
formance.
While the play is in production,
the Senior-Soph opera, “Le Grande
Giuocuo” continues its tour playing
at Compton junior college next
Tuesday. The cast gave its first
performance a week before the lo¬
cal production at Whittier college.
Fred Miller, Compton student
body president, invited the cast to
that junior college to give the open¬
ing assembly in their new auditor¬
ium. Mary Lou Perry, Bill Cald¬
well, Joan Kellogg, Mary Jean Vo-
seipka, Kit Cartwright, Don Mans¬
