<JJ ВВ1ЖГ<6&е@В VOL. XVIII PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, NOVEMBER 18, 1926 No. 7 PLAY SAN MATEO HERE FOR TITLE THANKSGIVING Cabinet- Transacts Variety of Business College Holds Big Pajamariho Parade San Mateo, junior college win¬ ner of the Northern California junior college conference has definitely accepted Pasadena’s invitation to play for the Cali¬ fornia title at Horrell field on Thanksgiving afternoon at 2:30 p. m. It is the consensus of opinion among the faculty that a play¬ off for championship is the best thing that can happen to Pasa¬ dena, not only because of the publicity it will give to the Pasa¬ dena school in the North and South, but because it will pre¬ sent strong grounds for con¬ clusions as to the relative strengths of the rival sections of California in Athletics. It is also thought that the game will go a long way toward promoting a junior college conciousness and creating the feeling that attend¬ ance at the junior college is not a thing to apologize for. San Mateo is to bring twenty- eight men on the steamer Har¬ vard. They will arrive on the twenty-fourth and expect to have a light work-out in the afternoon. It is yet undecided where the team will stay. R. V. Vickers, the athletic manager at San Mateo has requested quarters in some hotel near the field. It is expected that the venture will not only be self-supporting but profitable to the student body treasury. The San Mateo team has been running up big scores against all its opponents except the Stan¬ ford frosh. Though the Stanford yearling’s won easily from the strong U. S. C. freshmen, they top the lesser end of a 7-6 score from San Mateo. The meeting of such a for- midible aggregation with our own invincible squad gives promise of a fray to be remembered. COMPULSORY There is food for thought in the idea that after a few more generations of compulsory edu¬ cation we will have no more com¬ mon labor. Being unwillingly ex¬ posed to education until the age of eighteen often spoils a good ditch digger and makes a useless ; white collar man. Since the vice-president of the!

Local lights often furnish material for observation. FORTUNATE After receiving our quarterly grades we can say with Long John Silver, “Them as dies will be the lucky ones.” Sometimes we are forced to wonder just how much of this high pressure information will last through the next summer. Perhaps the mental gymnastics are worth the battle. REWARD It must be a great consolation to the football team to know that if they work hard and heat San Mateo, a grateful higher power will raise their “D’s” to “E’s” Fight fiercely fellahs! this semester, the cabinet, at its meeting last Thursday, November 5, planned to put that officer in charge of the debating department. If this decision goes into effect there will be no debating commis¬ sion, as there is in the high school, in the junior college. The cabinet has already its full quota of eight members, and a clerk who keeps the minutes but has no vote. To add a new debat- pentine was held on Colorado street last Friday night, and three thousand handbills were distributed advertising the big game. Gathering at the corner of Hill and Colorado at 7:30, about forty men of the junior college marched in line down the center of the street, stopping at the various corners to give team yells and locomotives. All traffic was blocked by the howling Pirate ing commission would mean an en- [ rooterSj but since a police permit largement of Jhe cabinet member- jwas had by the yell leaderi no ship beyond the usual and desired l number. Joe Shirley was elected debate manager. A debating pin is to be sent to John Dawson, who took part in both of the championship debates last year. That J. C. students will not ob¬ serve. the high school’s “Old Clothes Day” on Friday, November 19, was definitely decided. Alma Casler was delegated to take some flowers to Wendell Walker, who has been quite ill with influenza for the past week. She reports that he was greatly pleased with the remembrance. He is much better and hopes to return to college in a few days. action could be taken. The pro¬ cession was lead by a band com¬ posed of Max Casey, flue; Wil¬ fred Watson, trombone; Bob Musgrave, piccolo, and Noisy Nelson, drum (Brake). This dis¬ cord rode on an old wagon which resembled Riverside after the game, and made a continual howl for the whole three miles. A number of college students fol¬ lowed in cars and on the walks, and a racket was maintained at all times. The dean was present and lent support on various oc¬ casions, and it is hoped that the event will become a tradition. The plaque, which was presented j EVENING MEETING OF At the cabinet meeting Mon- lay, Mr. Harbeson decided to iresent the motive before the idministration, that the J. C. state championship game with 3an Mateo, Thanksgiving, be pre¬ sented at the Rose Bowl. Mr. O’Mara has written to Mr. iVilson, head of the J. C. athletic inference, at Riverside, to gain permission to have an out of conference game. A tentative permission has been granted. Because of the psychological ef¬ fect of having to play before impty benches, the coach has lesitated before giving his per¬ mission to play the game at the Rose Bowl. However, as this is ;he only football game here Thanksgiving, besides the U. S. C.-Montana game in Los Angeles, there is no reason why there should not be a large crowd. In order to have the game here in Pasadena, P. J. 0. will have со guarantee San Mateo $600 to cover transportation expenses. For this reason, student body cards cannot be used. The ad¬ mission for high school and junior college students will be 50c, for outsiders $1. The cabinet hopes that junior college will have a banner soon for the Southern California cham¬ pionship. The letters will not be presented to the boys until after the San Mateo game. Last year the A. W. S. gave the football banquet at the Pres¬ byterian annex. Just where it will be given this year has not been definitely decided upon. As usual the A. W. S. will cook and serve all the food. The cabinet wishes to petition all students to make up as many “peppy” yells as they can. The least students can do is to learn the present J. C. yells. HONOR AND TESTS There are always two sides to every question. The battle that is most waged in our present student administration is that of the so- called honor system. Some stu¬ dents ask the question why teachers stay in the class while tests are being given as long as the honor system is being observed? Others answer that if there is an active ’ honor system why should students care whether or not teachers are ! pi'esent. It would make no diff¬ erence in either case. When there is an unwritten or a generally un- j derstood law, it should be respected 1 and embraced whole-heartedly. by the Parent Teachers’ Associa¬ tion, for Paul Bascom, who was killed last year in an automobile accident, has been hung in the student body office. The cabinet members wish to re-emphasize the fact that the stu¬ dent body office is not a general gathering place for the college; it is for business only. ALPHAS POSTPONED PLAYER’S CLUB PLANS TO INITIATE BIDS RELIABILITY ASSURED Now all we need befoi'e we have a perfectly responsible student body is about three more sets of student monitors or proctors. Then every one would be a model, for those who formerly failed to attend assembly now go to check the roll, and those noisy individuals of the library are now kept busy attending to slips and absences. Maybe the office can establish a hall patrol or a garden beat for other restless pel-sons. Contrary to an announcement made at the last Alpha meeting, there will be no evening enter¬ tainment at the home of Miss Kathleen D. Loly, adviser, on November 17. Because Miss Loly This afternoon at 3:30 the junior college debate squad will hold their try-out to select teams for the first conference debate. Toping to win another pennant, the squad will then go into in¬ tensive training for the triangular tilt with Santa Ana and El i Centro on December 7. The question is: “Resolved,; That the United States Should ! Grant Independence to the Philip¬ pines Within Five Yeai-s, the Is¬ lands To Be Made an American Protectorate.” Although this question has been debated for over twenty years, the protectorate clause gives a new twist which makes the queston wide open for argument. In as much as the Pasadena debaters have never lost a con¬ test, there is high hope of re¬ peating the last two years’ records and taking another championship. Pasadena has never debated Santa Ana, Fullerton, El Centro, or Riverside, and all of these will come without our schedule this year. The negative team will go to El Centro on the seventh, while Santa Ana’s negative team will meet our affirmative speakers here, and El Centro will uphold the negative at Santa Ana. Among those trying out are a number of experienced speakers and debaters. Joyce Evans, win¬ ner of last years’ junior college oratorical contest, will take part, as will Toshiro Shimanouchi, star high school speaker.

On the evening of November 24, the Junior College Players will celebrate their period of in¬ tense dramatic effort for the afternoon program which they are staging November 23, by a pro- gressive dinner party.

C., has inounced the opening of the an- lal literary contest for the pur¬ ee of securing creative writings r these publications. TOO BAD Now that the cabinet has de¬ cided to clear the student body office of loafers, we can expect a run for locker space in the basement. DOPE Sometimes the old dope sheets tell funny stories. How is this for dope? U. S. C. beat Oxy by six points. Tech beat Oxy by four touchdowns. We beat Tech by two touchdowns. Does that make us better than U. C., the victim of U. S. C., or does it merely make us Elks? NOT FORGOTTEN We speak of Baker’s armor plate line and not without reason. Often the units that compose a powerful line do nothing spectacular. They do not scintillate like the speed merchants in our backfield. It should be remembered, however, that they take a terrific amount of battering every time the ball is snapped back from center. Too often a lineman is not rated by the number of men he stops but by the few that get by him. After the dinner the club will present a short skit for the mem¬ bers. The rest of the evening will be taken up by a program which is being prepared by Betty Roberts, vice-president of the club. As the hour of midnight ap¬ proaches, the club will assume a more dignified air as the eight new members will be formally initiated into the club. This cere¬ mony was established last year and is looked forward to by all the members of the club. This meeting is the second celebration of the players this year. It is expected to surpass all other doings of the club. * OH GIRLS! * * Did you hear about the good * * looking batchelor?

A. mem¬ bers, under the management of Octavie de Beaulieu, sold over $70 worth of ice cream, candy, and peanuts. The net returns are not yet definitely known. The money is to be used toward purchasing the Y. W. cottage. The Y. W. members are now negotiating to sell refreshments, at the Long Beach, P. H. S. game, at the Rose Bowl Satur¬ day November 21. any reason at all during the last ten minutes of the period. The rules also read that all stu7 dents are to remain in their fourth period classroom during the first advisory unless they have a signed excuse given by the office for some legitimate reason. Dean Harbeson is greatly pleas¬ ed by the way in which students are accepting the enforcement of these rules as their own problem and feels sure that the rules will be successfully carried out. PLAY FAIR ANYWAY The date for the J. C. play has not been definitely decided on yet, but in all probability it will be given sometime in April Members of both this semester and next semester’s dramatic class¬ es assisted by members of the J. C. Players will present the selection. The play has not yet been chosen but it is an assuredness that it will be given in better style than any previous production. Miss Elizabeth E. Keppie, dramatics in¬ structor will coach the play. , “The Three Howling Successess,” which are to be presented by the J. C. Players in the High School and Junior College benefit pro¬ gram, are expected to go over big in every way. Many tears and much laughter is expected by those presenting the plays. “The Wonder Hat”, The Goal Gate”, and “The Pot Boilers” will be presented in the order named at 3:30 in. the afternoon of November 23 in the auditorium. A four reel moving picture, be¬ ginning at 2:30, is to precede the plays in order to provide en¬ tertainment for those who are dismissed early. The first one-act play, “The Wonder Hat”, is a comedy in sells boots to attract men. Her which the heroine Columbine, desired man, Harlequin, buys an invisible hat. Though neither knows that they are lovers, the plot becomes very complicated. The servant Margot, Punchinello the vender, and Pierrot add most of humor to the scenes. The play has a very unusual and ex¬ citing ending. The characters in the order named will be played by Margaret Morrow, Neil Camp¬ bell, Frances Ramsey, Robert Chapin and Carmen Rice. “The Gaol Gate”, is a tradegy written by Lady Gregory. It depicts the plight of two old women, neither one being able to read or write. They arrive at the gates of the gaol on a cold, and foggy morning about dawn. The scene shows the red glow of the rising sun before it appears. A letter in their posses¬ sion is read by the gaoler, who informs them that the elder wo¬ man’s husband is imprisoned with¬ in the gaol. He is accused of having killed another man. The plot is cleverly worked out, allow¬ ing the man to be released. The elderly woman, Mary Cabel, is played by Margaret Cressaty. Her daughter-in-law, Mary Cushion, is played by Louise Brown, and the Gaol Gate Keeper is played by Vincent Parsons. The third one act, “The Pot Boilers,” is a farce written by Al¬ ice Gustenburg. Gun play, mur¬ derers, the hero and a heroine are predominant. Sud, the play¬ wright, is busy directing an un¬ completed play of which he is the author. The other characters, the stage hand, Wouldby, Mrs. Pencil, Miss Ivory, Mr. Inkwell, Ruler, and Mrs. Ivory try to act as directed by Sud. The parts in the order named are played by Victor Margolis, Thelma Hoover, Spencer Hunt, Betty Roberts,, Charlotte Macomber, Everett Ka¬ del, Eugene Nelson and Robert, Chapin. The J. C. Players Club is a comparatively new organization. It was started during the second semester last year. Victor Mar¬ golis is president of the club. The plan of the club, which is presenting the “Three Howling Successess” as a benefit perfor¬ mance, is backed by the high school commission strongly. Mr. Wilcox, school treasurer, also is greatly in favor of the program. The plays are being directed by Miss Elizabeth Keppie, dra¬ matics teacher. Miss Keppie is being assisted by Margaret Mor¬ row, Charlotte Macomber and Margaret Cressaty, who are act¬ ing as student directors. The ticket sale will start today. The house is expected to be sold out and the S. O. L. sign is ex¬ pected to be hung out within two days. The admission will be 25 cents for adults, J. C. students and high school students. Junior high * school students will be charged 15 cents. Miss Dixon left Friday noon, November 12, for a week-end trip to San Diego. Because of illness, Miss May Walmsley was absent from school Friday. Her place was filled by Miss Charlotte Jacobs. WILL NOT PARTICIPATE Basing their decision on a writ issued last yeai the cabinet has issued tne state¬ ment to the effect that junior college students will not par¬ ticipate in “Old Clothes Day.”
