Air Raid Drill Promised By
Wardens, Students Urged
To Review Regulations
No Meeting To Be Held
To Avoid Class Interruption
Loosely organized Air Raid Wardens are anticipating a
practice air-raid drill some time next week, have already been
explained sundry duties by Stu Fitch and his war council. As
meetings of the many wardens would cause unnecessary con¬
fusion, interrupt many necessary daily duties, wardens will
remain a part of respective classes only. Functions are confined
to intended work, rather than social functions.
A “rolling test blackout” will
be held in Pasadena tonight to
test efficiency of equipment, air¬
raid wardens, other volunteer
workers. There will be no black¬
out or sirens.
An incident which will be simi¬
lar to that of an air-raid will be
given out to the various officials
by the State Council of Defense
and the OCD. It will be held at
some part of town which will re¬
main a secret until the envelope
containing the location and type
of equipment is given to the of¬
ficials. Then the machine will
start work so that it can be de¬
termined how efficient Pasadena
workers would be in a real air
raid.
Speakers' Bureau
Speakers’ Bureau, designed for
on-campus speech work, to offer
downtown clubs, churches, other
organizations, student speakers
qualified to talk on almost any
topic of current interest, will hold
tryouts next Tuesday. Four to
five minute extemporaneous
speeches on any subject will be
required, according to Betty
Bloom, chairman.

Newest of nation’s radio sta¬
tions, Pasadena’s KWKW, has
brought opportunity to four for¬
mer PJC students Toni Merril,
Lamont Johnson, Joseph Hansen

owners determined to make it a
Pasadena institution, hired JC
students for the staff.

popular radio personalities.
Half-time stunts include an¬
other novelty script written by
Bob Fisher, PJC ventriloguist

tialities of the forward line re¬
mains a mystery.

similar rally.
Angels
Gloria Set
For Opening,
December 11
White-robed angels complete
with halos, beared shepherds, as¬
sorted magii, chanted, sung,
paced Sexson Auditorium stage
as 1 9 4 2 ’ s interpretation of
“Gloria” entered its fourth week
of production under the untiring
supervision of co-ordinator Kath¬
arine Kester and Lula Claire
Parmley. With the premiere pre¬
sentation of this traditional PJC
Christmas pageant set for Decem¬
ber 11, feverish stage hands mad¬
ly hammer at pieces of board and
canvas in an effort to complete
impressive scenery in time.
Due to an oversight on the
part of a Chron cub reporter,
the name of Miss Priscilla Han¬
nah was left out in cast credit
mention in last week’s edition.
“Priss,” has been cast in the
role of Elizabeth, mother to
John the Baptist. Doubling in
the dignified part of Saradan,
the Fourth Wise-man, are Jack
Schultheis, Clarke Lagerstrom.
Duane Mitchell stepped into the
character of Judah last week
to replace Ray Peterson; Stuart
Cypherd is the alternate shep¬
herd youth.
Still confronting the produc¬
tion staff is the problem of de¬
ciding on the number of perform¬
ances for the show. Originally
scheduled to come off on four oc¬
casions, the number was de¬
creased to three because of
threatened gas rationing, and at
the present the decision is uncer¬
tain.
