“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

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
