II PASADENA HIGH SCHOOL, NOVEMBER 17, 1915, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA NO. 8 BULLDOGS MAKE OFF WITH PEATLANDERS Pasadena Will Again Meet Santa Ana and Manual SANTA ANA’S HOPES BLASTED WHEN PASADENA TAKES GAME Red and White Lads Scare Farmers Off Field in Contest Equally Balanced in Every Way. Pasadena Only Team to Retain Full Percentage to Date Preparations for Thanksgiving Game Being Perfected; Scrap with Long Beach to Be Surprise, Is Belief of Local Gridiron Wizards By RALPH HOSLER “All right, boys, the old school is depending on you, go get ’em.” With these words from Coach Duffy Seay, the Red and White ’Varsity of Pasadena High trotted on to Poly field, and battled their way to a 1 9 to 0 victory over the Santa Ana Peatlanders. Fighting with a savageness and a ferocity that startled the huge crowd in the stands, the Seayites displayed more perfect teamwork, superior tackling and stronger inter¬ ference than their opponents. Never did the red jersied lads relax, except in the third quarter, when the Santa Ana bunch almost battered down the stonewall defense of Coach Seay’s football machine. On the other hand, Pasadena had Santa Ana on the defensive niost of the time, making long gains through their line and arouhd the ends. The game was clean throughout, only two players being taken out, Moore of Pasadena and Sproul of Santa Ana. This game was in reality a speed test. Open style seemed to be in favor, each team relying on wide end runs and trick plays for their big gains. P. H. S. outfoxed Santa Ana, time after time, the backs tearing through unprotected holes for large gains. The heavy line of the Ranchers seemed unable to stop Brant Gard’s slashing line bucks, and the S. A. ends almost ran their legs off trying to hold in check the little speed demon, “Tuffy” Conn. Pasadena used the forward pass to good advantage, scor¬ ing one touchdown, and making long gains on two others. Santa Ana tried innumerable passes, but the Red and White line broke through and smeared them before they were started. For the third consecutive time this year, Pasadena won the toss and Santa Ana kicked. “Tuffy” Conn received the ball on the ten yard line and swerving and dodging he ran the ball back fifty yards. Pasa¬ dena was off with a rush. Three big gains by Gard, Conn and Mc- Conaghy, with two fifteen yard penalties on the Ranchers brought the ball to Santa Ana’s ten yard line. There Pasadena was held, and “Tuffy” Conn made a perfect drop kick from the fifteen yard line. All this was done within the first two minutes of play. Again Pasadena rushed the ball to Santa Ana’s ten yard line, but’ were held, and Trago punted out of danger. “Tuffy” Conn, receiving the ball, ran the it • eighty yards for a touchdown only to be called back, for stepping out (Continued on page 4, column 1) NIGHT SCHOOL IS BEING ESTABLISHED IN Good Enrollment at Opening Session on Night of November 15 Chance Given High School Students to Add to Cred¬ its by New Method Due to the many requests asked by the residents of Pasadena, the Board of Education has opened a night school at the High School buildings. Such an institution lias long been needed in Pasadena. The establishment of the night school is welcomed by all those interested in education. The first session of the new school was held Monday, November 15, with a fairiy large enrollment. There are two periods of one hour each begin¬ ning at seven o’clock. Classes are formed in all subjects where there is sufficient demand and will continue as long as the demand for the work con- ’ tinues. Students now enrolled in High School may take up studies in the new institution and receive credit for the work accomplished. Enrollment, how¬ ever, is not limited to students of the 'Cardinal institution; any one above t the grammar school age may enter, regardless of previous work. POPULAR CLUBS MAKING GOOD HEADWAY THIS TERM On Friday, November 5th, the mem¬ bers of the Engineers’ Club were given a motion picture assembly. The mem¬ bers have been favored with similar assemblies before this year. But every person who was fortunate enough to be present at the last one agrees that it far surpassed all previous occasions. The program consisted of a film demonstrating the manufacture of liquid air and several experiments with that substance. The other film shown was the manufacturing of steel rails in a Pittsburgh rolling mill. The Engineers’ Club is one of the livest organizations in school and offi¬ cers have arranged for many interest¬ ing meetings during the year. TO STUDY MEDICINE During the week before vacation a meeting was held by all those students who are interested in the study of medicine. The purpose of the meeting was to organize a medical club, through which the members will be able to learn more in regard to the medical profession. It is the plan of the newly organized club to have noted physicians and sur¬ geons deliver lectures to the members on vital problems that confront the physicians of today. Many excursions to hospitals and dispensaries are be¬ ing planned by the club for the re¬ mainder of the year. The following were elected during LIVELY RALLY PREVIOUS TO SANTA ANA CONTEST Short Talks and Snappy Music Tend to Develop Much Enthusiasm Cross Urges That a Sufficient Number Attend to Pro¬ tect Serpentine Short talks right to the point from several enthusiastic speakers and mu¬ sic by the band aroused an abundance of “pep” in the Student Body at the last rally prior to the Championship game with Santa Ana. The P. H. S. Student Body was high¬ ly commended on her conduct at re¬ cent football contests and the good sportsmanship she has at all times displayed. “I do not have much regard,” said Cross, “for the speaker who does nothing but throw bouquets, but on the other hand the good qualities of a school need not be entirely ignored. “We have played with three great high schools, Polytechnic, Los Angeles and Manual Arts,” he continued, “and they are great high schools not only in tradition but in spirit as well. But I do not want you to forget that P. H. S. ranks equal with any of them and is in the same class with the best schools in the United States. I have never seen a Student Body that conducted itself in a more commendable and courteous treatment and I hope it will continue so.” Cross was glad to note that some of thg more discourteous yells had been eliminated this year, but his sugges¬ tion to do away with the counting of the score met with instant disapprov¬ al. Popular opinion thought counting the score was nothing but right and was convinced that the other side should be a good loser. He urged that a large crowd be in attendance at the game and hoped that there would be no peculiar people to break up the serpentine. Mr. Kern, a football enthusiast and P. H. S. graduate of 1903, gave a short talk expressing his interest in the ac¬ tivities of the school, and warned the students against being too over-confi¬ dent in regard to the outcome of the Championship contest. “I think as an outsider,” he said, “that you display a little too much confidence in what you are going to do. Too much confi¬ dence is just as bad as not enough and either of these extremes should be avoided. You have a fine clean team and it deserves your hearty sup¬ port. Every student should be at the game rooting his hardest.” Coach Seay and Kienholz were both of the opinion that the Santa Ana game would be the hardest of the sea¬ son and the combined support of the whole Student Body would be neces¬ sary to win the contest. “Your last game,” said Kienholz, “was with an inexperienced team, but remember Santa Ana is an old hand at the game. The best coached team in the country could not win if it did not have a punch behind it and it is up to the men and the Student Body to furnish the punch.” Seay called attention to the fact that last year was a most successful one up to the time we met Santa Ana and then she captured the Championship. “Now”, he said, “we are meeting them again and have a chance to even up. It is up to you. You must be out and give the team proper support.” Parker Lyon, the hustling manager, said a few words in regard to the game. He reminded the students that even the business men of Pasadena are taking an active interest in the race for championship and several merchants have awarded prizes to the P. H. S. team should they win. the meeting: President, Stacy Met- tier; Vice President, Don Loughery; Secretary and Treasurer, Ralph Hos¬ ier. All students who expect to enter some phase of the medical profession are invited to become members of the newly organized club. SAMPLE COPY OF CHRONICLE FOR STUDENTS There has been cause for belief that not enough Pasa¬ dena people know what kind of a paper the PASADENA CHRONICLE is, and in order that at least every High School family should know what the school is doing, arrangements have been made for sample copies of the CHRONICLE to be distributed to every student attending school next Wed¬ nesday. In order that this plan may be properly carried out, there will be 200 0 papers printed next week, and a paper will be given free to each student. The sample will be a fair showing of the kind of work that is being done and will be the regular size with no extra features. FRIDAY IS DATE SET FOR INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATE Hyallie Fielder and Cyril Cooper to Meet Manual Arts; Virgil DeLapp and William Coombs Will Defeat the Confident Ranchmen Affirmative Team Will Debate at Pasadena; Negatives Travel to Peatland. Thousand Tickets Must Be Sold, Claim of Manager Lilley Two veteran teams are in readiness to represent the Red and White against Manual Arts and Santa Ana next Friday night, when the three in¬ stitutions will clash in the first inter- scholastic debates of the season. The Artisans and the Celery Pick¬ ers will both endeavor to wipe out the stigma of their recent defeats at the hands of Pasadena’s football eleven and will meet the Cardinal teams with that avowed purpose first and fore¬ most in their minds. Pasadena, on the other hand, is just as determined to kep up its good record thus far attained this year, and make a clean sweep of every school activity. The teams which will oppose Pasa¬ dena this year are of a very different calibre than those which have met the school in the past. Manual and Santa Ana are two of the strongest schools in the South and a victory over them will be something really worth while. But if Pasadena has a harder prop¬ osition to meet, her teams are a little more capable of representing the Red and' White than have any combina¬ tions in the past seasons. Every one of the four persons chos¬ en to debate for P. H. S. have taken part in interscholastic contests in the past, Coach Carson having finally se¬ lected Hyllie Fieder, Cyril Cooper, William Coombs, and Virgil De Lapp to speak in the first linquistic con¬ tests. Of these persons, all but Coombs have already appeared on the plat¬ form for Pasadena and he has repre¬ sented Bonita high school on several different occasions. Hyallie Fiedler, who won the dis¬ tinction of being the first Sophomore girl to ever represent the Cardinal in a Senior debate, will uphold the affirm¬ ative side of the question: Resolved’, That the United States should adopt the policy of subsidizing its merchant marine engaged in foreign trade. Miss Fiedler distinguished herself in the Junior debate with Lincoln high school last year, and should be able to do even bigger things this season. Cooper is remembered by his bril¬ liant work against Santa Ana last year, and* Alhambra the year before. His clear and forceful arguments and his ability in refutation work makes him one of Pasadena’s foremost de¬ baters. Being the first affirmative speaker, he will have ample oppor¬ tunity to display his ability in refut¬ ing the arguments of his opponents. Coombs, although new to P. H. S., is a “vet” in debating. He has debat¬ ed for Bonita high school in several interscholastic debates, and in the squad work has shown himself to be a speaker of no small ability. He speaks in a forceful manner, and is especially strong on the negative side of a question, which is the side upon which he will argue next Friday night at Santa Ana. De Lapp broke into the public speak¬ ing limelight last year, and spoke in two debates, once against Santa Ana and on another occasion against Long Beach. He will make a very strong running mate for Coombs, and will have another chance to humble the Peatlanders. Carson had a hard job to pick the teams as all eight members of the squad have been doing good work. Especially is this true of Lyle Hance and Marjorie Wells who have been chosen as the alternates. Manager Lilley’s slogan for the de¬ bate is ‘“1000 attendance or bust,” and it looks as though he will have little cause for breaking, if the enthusiasm thus far aroused is any criterion of the numbers who will be on hand when the first speaker steps forward on the platform Friday evening. Popular prices will prevail, ten cents being charged student body members, while all others must pay the uniform price of fifteen cents. UPPERCLASSMEN GAN GOME TO NO Seniors Hold Snappy Meet¬ ings, But Fail to Make Decisions Objectionable Lettering on Graduating Pin Re¬ moved Entirely Regardless of the efforts being made by the lower classes to outdo them, the Seniors this year have been hold¬ ing meetings with more “zip” and “go” to them than that of which any other class can boast. At the last meeting held by the class the Seniors again attempted thrashing out the problem of selecting a grad¬ uation pin. An interesting discussion over the adoption of some article of apparel, for special class distinction, and the appointing of committees to take charge of the various activities of the class, also took place. The proposed graduation pin, which met with so much approval at a prev¬ ious meeting, was again presented, with the objectionable lettering re¬ moved. Three mottos which had been suggested, to take the place of this lettering, were presented to the class and a selection made by elimination. The three mottos were: 1 — At the threshold of greater deeds;” in Latin, “In limine maiorum rerum.” 2 — “You sow for yourself, you reap for your¬ self;” in Latin, “Tibi seris tibi metis.” JUNIORS CLAIM GLASS SECOND TO NONE IN SCHOOL Enthusiastic Youngsters Have Bright View of High School Life Stacy Mettier Outlines Plans; Class Will Give Socials Each Month If early predictions are of any value the Junior class will have a very suc¬ cessful year. Each meeting has been full of pep and enthusiasm, and this characteristic is necessary for a suc¬ cessful class. Determined that the class might be second to none in the school, Presi¬ dent Mettier called a meeting of all Juniors Wednesday, November 3, dur¬ ing the assembly period. The meeting was one of an informal nature. Met¬ tier briefly outlined the plans for the year and stated that the success de¬ pended entirely on every Junior. He made an appeal for the co-operation of every Junior with the class officers. In speaking he said: “The first step in this co-operation is for every student having six and a half credits, to pay their dues immediately, and then get in and make the year a great one for the class of ’17. During the meeting those present were favored by selec¬ tions from the Harmony Trio. At a meeting held on Wednesday, October 27th, the class colors were changed from Orange and Black to Purple and White. A committee com¬ posed of Wyllis Halstead, Howard Em- ert, Helen Lockwood, Margaret Mit¬ chell and Eugenia Ong, was appointed to investigate the question of sweat¬ ers. There was a lively discussion in re¬ gard to the graduating pin that is be¬ ing spoken of by the Seniors and Com¬ missioners. As no definite decision could be reached a committee consist¬ ing of Margaret Mitchell, Robert Lilley and Clarke Bogardus was appointed to meet with a Senior committee and discuss the prospective pin. The Social Committee, consisting of Eugenia Ong, Barbara Loomis, Bar¬ bara Sherman, Robert Lilley and Royal Wilke, is making plans for a Junior party to be held in the very near fu¬ ture. There is also a very strong prob¬ ability that some sort of a social or get-together meeting will be held once a month. 3 — “Seize your opportunity;” in Latin, “Carpe facutatem.” The latter received the greater num¬ ber of votes, but was vigorously op¬ posed by the supporters of the first. The opposition was based on two points, one being that the words of the latter contained too few letters to en¬ tirely surround the central emblem, and the other, that the motto did not as well confer the idea of commence¬ ment as the first, which it was claimed was in itself a symbol of commence¬ ment. A most interesting feature of the meeting was a speech from the floor by a representative of the junior class, who stated that at a junior meeting, which bad just adjourned, the class had decided that they would adopt no graduation pin selected by the Senior class. The attitude taken by the speak¬ er was that the Seniors were trying to dominate the other classes by forc¬ ing the pin upon them. His speech, however, was quickly answered by several of the Seniors, who convinc¬ ingly stated that no such feeling was prevalent among the members of the fourth year class. The point was made that the pin would have no more ad¬ vantages for the Seniors than for the other classes, and that if the pin should be adopted by all the classes except the Juniors, it would hurt them alone. At the suggestion of Miss Sabel, the class supervisor, it was decided to leave the matter of selecting the pin until later in the year. Another interesting item of a more frivulous nature was a suggestion that, as a mark of special distinction, the Seniors select some “peculiar form of (Continued on page 3, column 2)
