PJC Holds Vocational Conference
Final Varsity Game In Rose Bowl Tonight
Vol. 35
Pasadena Junior College, November 19, 1943
No. 9
Bulldogs Tangle With
Ft. Mac Arthur-, A's,
Bees Play Compton
The Bulldogs tangle with the West Coast Artillery from
Fort MacArthur in the Rose Bowl tonight. It will be the last
contest of the abbreviated season for the varsity, and unless
they come through with an upset victory, they will have
played a complete schedule without winning a game.
The Artillery boys whipped the Compton Tartars last week
19 to 6, although losing the opener to them 13 to 7. Compton
in turn has defeated the Bulldogs
twice, so it looks like another
loss for the locals. The Mac¬
Arthur offensive is led by Pvt.
Bob White, former Manual Arts
High School star. White ran 63,
and 67 yards against the Tar¬
tars. The team is coached by Lt.
Hal Bishop. At halftime there
will be en exhibition by the Fort's
famous K-9 Command. The dogs
will be there in person, and
promise to put on a fine exhi¬
bition.
In the meantime the Bullpup
“A” eleven journeys to Compton
where they will clash with the
Compton lower division “Tar-
babes.” Compton has suffered one
defeat, but this came at the
hands of the mighty Redondo
Seahawks, who overwhelmed
them by a score of 40-13. How¬
ever the "Tarbabes” took an 18
to 13 decision from Long Beach
Wilson. The Compton offense is
based around the passing of half¬
back Duke Snider to fullback
Jack Ray on the receiving end.
Bob Salazar, another back, is the
chief “Tarbabe” ground gainer.
Right guard Carl Smith and cen¬
ter Don Henderson are the two
line mainstays both on offense
and defense.
Pasadena will be in the best
physical condition it has been in
since the start of the season.
Dick Simmons, who has been
outstanding against the varsity
in practice, this week is expected
to lead the attack against the
“Tarbabes” as their line is the
first this season to compare in
weight with the light forward
wall of Pasadena.
Frosh Class
Gets Gifts
For Army
After a week of publicising,
the drive for collecting gifts for
the soldiers at the Army Hospi¬
tal in Pasadena closes today.
The Frosh class was divided
into forty-two sections, since
there are that many Frosh Eng¬
lish classes. Each member of the
council was responsible for three
classes to which he was to report
and explain the functions to in¬
dividual students.
The drive started on Monday,
November 15. The classes were
asked to bring in any article
which a soldier might need or
enjoy, such as playing cards,
cigarettes, soap, pencils, pads,
stationery, Christmas decora¬
tions or any other inexpensive
object. Those who wished to
help out but not bring a gift,
were asked to contribute cash
to the cause. Contributions
were taken to Miss Olive
Kelso’s office.
According to Tom Iiams, Frosh
president, the drive brought forth
the following results: $150 in
cash and 500 small, inexpensive
gifts.
'Turkey Trot'
To Be Nov. 24; .
Bids Available
Bids for the “Turkey Trot”,
Inter-Class Dance, held Novem¬
ber 24, can be purchased for 75c,
including tax at the Triton Coun¬
cil booth in the main hall, the
Argonaut office at the Student
Union, or from Council mem¬
bers of any of the four classes.
Although the dance is usually
held at the Civic Auditorium,
last year the Inter-Class Dance
at the Athletic Club (Ballroom,
4th floor) reportedly proved suc¬
cessful enough to warrant hold¬
ing it there again. The dance
will be informal; ties, sport
clothes, date dresses, and uni¬
forms will be in order.
Dale Cross (“Basin Street
Blues” and “Paper Loll” at the
Junior-Senior Assembly), now
featured nightly at the Rendez¬
vous Room in the Biltmore
Hotel, will play for the dance.
The Freshman Class is in
charge of getting the cider to
be sold at the dance, while Soph¬
omore and Junior Classes are
handling publicity. Bids and res¬
ervation of the orchestra were
arranged by the Senior Class.
The dance was planned by the
presidents of the four classes to¬
gether with the four councils.
Navy V-12 students at Cal Tech
have been invited to the Trot.'
They will obtain late leaves, as
it will be the night before the
Thanksgiving holiday. A notice
is now posted at Cal Tech for
those interested in going to sign.
PJC coeds who would like a Navy
date for the dance should sign
on the bulletin board in the Dean
of Women’s office.
Convocation Observes
Thanksgiving Day
The convocation, to be held
Monday, November 22, will be
in observance of Thanksgiv¬
ing Day, and will feature one
of the most outstanding pulpit
orators of the day, Reverend
Charles Taylor. In addition to
the address, music will be pro¬
vided by his brother, a pianist
of distinction.
Untereiner Presides, Campion
To Speak at Male Assembly;
Women to Hear Five Lecturers
The Annual Vocational Conference Day, held so that students can learn from experienced
speakers something more of their future vocations, will take place today. Usually the subjects
discussed are wide and varied, but, because of the present situation, all lectures given will per¬
tain to the war. Men students will meet in the John A. Sexson Auditorium where Dr. How¬
ard A. Campion, assistant superintendent of Los Angeles City Schools, will lecture on “Look¬
ing Ahead.” There is only one conference offered for the men this year, as they are all
preparing for the service and post-war activities, and the speaker’s topic will be of highest
Cosmetology Classes Now
Doing Rushing Business ;
Important Morale- builders
PJC’s cosmetology classes are now housed in their new
laboratories, a real beauty shop equipped to enable the cos¬
metologists to do the new feather cut and victory bob, plus
a number of other services to lift my lady’s war-time morale.
Moving the laboratories from the West to the East Campus
has been no small achievement, entailing as it does the in¬
plumbing and electricity. But
stallation of special equipment,
the new laboratory, located in
room ID, Life Science Depart¬
ment is now open and doing a
rushing business.
Patrons are taken care of in
the beauty shop on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of each
week. Work is by appointment
only, the advanced class hours
being from 9:00 to 1:00 and the
beginning class hous from 1:00
to 5:00. All phases of beauty
service are given by the ad¬
vanced class and a charge is
made for it. Service in the be¬
ginning class is free until the
student has completed a prelimi¬
nary training period of 350 hours.
No appointments can be made,
however, until after the holidays
as they are book up.
PJC’s course prepares the stu¬
dent for a vocation as well as to
give the opportunity to complete
the requirements of formal edu¬
cation. To duplicate as closely
as possible working conditions
in the field of cosmetology so
that training given will equip
the student to successfully hold
a position.
The first 350 hours of the stu¬
dent’s training is devoted to les¬
sons, practice and modeling on
each other. The latter part of this
time is devoted to free work on
patrons who pay for the service.
USO Offers Chance
For Coed Service
Girls wishing to be hostesses
at dances given for the service
men stationed in and near Pasa¬
dena may now register in Miss
Robbins’ office. Presidents of all
Women’s Restrictive Clubs will
have registration cards for all
club girls interested. Girls al¬
ready serving as junior hostesses
are asked to fill out cards in Miss
Robbins’ • office so that their
names may be on file.
Since so many of the girls
at PJC are Junior Hostesses,
the Coordinating Council of
group Entertainment for serv¬
ice men has asked PJC to join
that council, and to have a cen¬
tral registration at school for
information.
The only requirements for
registration as a Junior Hostess
is that the girl must be sixteen
or over. If the girl is under eigh¬
teen she must have her parents
signature on her registration
card. Also, it must be understood
that, even though the girl is
registered as a Junior Hostess at
PJC, she cannot go to any other
organization unless she is regis¬
tered there also.
PJC is planning to have speak¬
ers and a discussion group at
school in the near future, for the
instruction of Junior Hostesses.

Players Give
Musical Play
This year the Player’s Guild
will present a one-act Christmas
play entitled “Mistletoe,” writ¬
ten by drama teacher Katherine
Kester. The play will be directed
by Barbara Turner, president of
Delta Psi Omega, national dra¬
matic fraternity. The program
this season will be a double fea¬

added in addition to “Mistletoe.”
Music for the second play has
been written by Dick Allen, and
the entire membership of the
Player’s Guild will participate.
Every year Player’s Guild
gives a Christmas show for the
students of Pasadena Junior Col¬
lege. The program is presented
free of charge as the Christmas
contribution of the Player’s
Guild. These performances give
an opportunity to gauge dra¬
matic progress since the begin¬
ning of the year.
Ann Miller, “Hey, Rookie” girl, gives the Fort MacArthur boys a pep talk before encounterting the
local eleven. This Columbia screen star is the team’s “mascott” and has accompanied the Fort eleven
on several occasions. The team will play the Bulldogs tonight at 7:30 in the Rose Bowl. Warrant

Forty -Five Coeds Appear Before Judges
At Third Rose Queen Tryouts To Be Held
Today; Max Colwell Heads Committee
Remaining Rose Queen contestants received something in the way of a bonus last
Wednesday when third tryouts for this year’s Tournament Court were cancelled. Excessive
moisture, verging on the side of a slight rainfall, compelled judges to take this precaution¬
ary move. Scheduled for the Royal Court are ship launchings, radio addresses, and the
usual public appearances. The Queen must be capable of speaking before an audience with
at least some degree of composure. She also must be photogenic, worthy of the thousands
of pictures of her to appear in the nation’s press. Working on this basis in addition to the
usual bathing beauty standards,
the judging committee has lower¬
ed the number of still-eligible
lovelies to 45.
Not until “final inspection,”
probably at the Civic Auditorium,
will the Queen and her six Prin¬
cesses be selected. Even then, an
expectant world may not learn
the judges’ decision for some
time.
Max Colwell’s judging com¬
mittee, minus the student and
faculty representatives which
assisted them in preliminaries,
held the second tryout last Mon¬
day in Sexson Auditorium. Sen¬
iors were inspected at three,
with juniors and sophomores
following at half hour inter¬
vals. This time no names were
mumbled, for now only num¬
bers on cardboard squares iden¬
tified the hopefuls. Spot-lighted
from above, the girls paraded
across the auditorium stage in
