All have been going about with mys¬ terious smiles and looks of happy an¬ ticipation. WHY? Because the wide¬ ly advertised Senior Cheer-up is rapid¬ ly drawing near. Of course no one but that exceeding¬ ly capable committee, headed by Marjorie Test, knows exactly what to expect, but a few vague rumors have given hints of delightful surprises in store for the lucky upper-classmen. First of all, this affair will be held on the roof-garden of Pasadena High. Imagine dreamy music, gay Japanese lanterns and silvery moonlight, all blended into a scene of enchanting beauty. Now you have the setting. Next the dreamy music will take on a raggy, draggy, jazzy effect, (it may be the “Korduroy Kwartette” or perhaps the“Jintette” — (More mystery,) stimu¬ lating the guests to an uneasy pitch of excitement. But the rich bass and sweet soprano voices of well-known soloists will act spothingly upon the listeners, especially since their rep¬ ertoires will include all varieties of melody, from soporific lullabies to the latest “Chinese Toddle.” And don’t forget the selections of special school scandals! Ssh! The devotees of drama will be treat¬ ed to a group of clever and mirth- provoking skits by various Thespian celebrities. The dramatic classes, al¬ ready famed as “Calcium” luminaries, will gain a new crop of laurels, and some hitherto undiscovered genius will be brought to light. It is whispered likewise that a “mock” wedding will take place. As there are many aspirants for the stellar roles in this “tragedy,” the bans have not yet been published. Those wishing to embrace the bride may be horrified to find (s)he is not quite what (s)he seems. The groom may prove more agreeable, however. Since it has often been demonstrat¬ ed that even the oldest and wisest may acquire alarming appetites in the fresh evening breeze, a large sup¬ ply of delectable indigestibles will be provided. Mr. Hoover and the war tax will be alike debarred from the conversation; in their stead, comical jingles about prominent people and short and snappy toasts will cause the last vestige of “society shyness” to disappear. As a novel idea, the advisors of the Class of T8, from its infancy to its present hoary senility, have been in¬ vited, and there are sure to be re- minisceaee of halting recitations and wicked deeds, which will bring sub¬ dued blushes to hardened counten¬ ances. In spite of all these glittering at¬ tractions, it is asserted that only a small percentage of the class have signed up and paid their dues. This unfortunate state of affairs has been due, no doubt, to ignorance of the joys of the coming event. Now, however, that the curtain of secrecy has been partially lifted, a vast crowd is fully expected. Remember the date, Friday, the 23, at eight o’clock. Take either elevator and ascend to — well the Seniors think it will be a glimpse of Paradise. After the first glance you will surely “CHBKR-UP.” Wait and see! BY ART GARFIELD. “Oh Ye Gods! What’s Broke Loose?” To awake pep in dormant souls, every year at P. H. S. on the Friday preceding the first league football ■ game the entire student body turns out in “Passing Show” styles. Any¬ thing and everything old or antique is worn and the result is — read on! The days of the Spanish Main were recalled by plume and straw som¬ brero, tassels that brought visions of parlor curtains, and a sword that would that л up; rival Excalibur in antiquity. Swallow-tail-coats and ten dollar silks made one think of the days long ago when church on Easter and the circus on Labor Day were annual oc¬ curences. The costumes in general were such as one associates with box cars and railroad ties, red ban¬ dana “hope” kits, and “mulligan stews.” The lisquises in general were well-worn, (a pun,) well chosen, and well — its a good thing it happens but once a year. Like all other “Passing Shows” and “Follies” this 1917 folly of P. H. S. was distinguished not only by the great variety of costumes on display but by a number of other interesting features in which the “Assembly” ranks first. The object of the old clothes day is attractively brought out by a foot¬ ball setting on the stage. Barber pole goal posts are placed at either end of the stage and sawdust is strewn on the floor. As the curtail* rises the uniformed football squad is found engaged in a between halves lecture with Wally presiding. After a few words with the team, Wally gives “football speech” to the audi¬ ence. His pleasing oration is ap¬ plauded and others follow. Each grid warrior explains that P. H. S. is to play Santa Ana on the morrow (strange as it may seem many P. H. S. students seemingly did not realize it.) Further music and amusement were furnished by the N. A. N. (Nerve and Noise) orchestra, composed of “Les Inseparables,” “Sherlock Holmes” Watson and “King Arthur” Ferguson, Pierpoint “Margan,” and “Harold Bell” Wright. The assembly ended with a “dra¬ matic” scrimmage; featuring Chuck Ash and Doc De Ford. Chuck, unfor¬ tunately, true to form, steps on some infant. In rushes Doc with his pill box — out rushes Doc with the unfor¬ tunate recipient of Chuck’s torpedo practice tucked safely under his arm. (CURTAIN.) j The next scene is played on the I front steps one hour later. The Ringling Brothers-San Quentin-Punkin j Hollow Band lines up, tunes up, and ! to the tune of “There is no Place Like j Home but Honolulu” marches off down the driveway, and the entire congregation of Hicks, hobos, and hod-carriers serpentines behind. As the line is gradually broken up, the cosmopolitan crowd gathers again on the steps and yells as only “ОГ Clo’es Day” can make one yell. The concrete results of this memo¬ rable day were realized at the game with the “Sugar-Beeters.” A packed grand stand, that cursed stream of side-line urchins, seventy-four auto¬ mobiles, and three Fords, is sufficient evidence to sentence “ОГ Clo’es Day” an annual event at P. H. S. — FAR EVER! For the coming quarter — resolve anew! “Don’t shiver for last years snow.” Thursday — Constantine gives a program for the public.

H. S. has passed and was a grand success despite the fact that that some startling secrets and revelations were brought to light by the labels on the bot¬ tles. “Bottles tali and bottles small, bottles of any size at all,” were present at this bottle- age assemblage. What a bles¬ sing no stray visitors chanced to wander into 103'C last Thurs¬ day. Had one taken a single glance at the conglomeration of cold cream jars, beer and gin bottles,, and medecinal bottles of every description, first aid applications would have been necessary. What was still more appalling was the covetous way in which the maids guard¬ ed this junk collection. Woe be unto the person who looked enviously at the contributions, for such bold creatures as these were liable to bombardment from the rear. However, these bottles will be turned over to the Red Cross where they will be sold to raise funds. If some careless creatures forgot their bottles, send word to Ruth Finnell. - о - > DEBATERS ARE PREPARING FOR BIG LEAGUE CONTESTS GIRLS’ LEAGUE DOINGiSANTA ANA ELEVEN GOOD WORK IN SLIPS 3 TO 0 DEFEAT MANY WAYS OVER ON PASADENA ‘Kid Glove Day” Is Next on Program of Girls’ League Activities Locals Put Up Desperate Fight But Are Unable to Score; Pasadena Makes Game Struggle for Victory in Last Few Minutes of Play Pasadena High School girls surely do not lack pep when it comes to real spirit. Long Beach recognizes this fact for they have taken the Girl’s League as a model for forming a similar organization and have in¬ troduced the new schemes established this year in regard to Red Cross, Navy League, French Relief and similiar works. Last Thursday this spirit was de¬ monstrated by the large quantity of bottles, “large and small,” that were delivered to 103 C. The committee aims for the gathering of a thousand bottles and won’t be satisfied until the mark is reached. Thursday the 22nd will be “kid glove day.” The gloves are to be used to line aviators coast. As leather is in demand, and the warmth of leather is almost necessary in this branch of the service, a large response is de¬ sired and expected. Recent results of the Civics De¬ partment of the GGirls’ League — 300 bandages have been returned to the Bandage Section. ■ The workers are to he commended. 38 pounds of perfectly good tin foil has been collected by the Salvage branch. The Red Cross will be able to keep a good many children warm with the money derived from this source. Many garments for the French Re¬ lief have been cut out, and the plea goes out for more girls to make them up. These may be found in 101 В or 107 В after school. A recent letter comes from Belgian telling of the deplorable shortage in cloth. Tiny babies are wrapped in newspapers that they may be protect¬ ed somewhat from the freezing cold. If you were a mother would you wel¬ come the shipment of some warm clothes for your child. Cannot the boys as well as the girls of P. H. S. respond in helping this cause. See the Girl’s League authorities. BY AL WESSON Up until last Saturday night, the members of the Santa Ana team were still wondering who let the mad dogs loose somewhere around 4:30 p. m. on the local gridiron last Saturday. They were finally informed that the mad dogs were none other than the Pasadena Bulldogs gone wild. But although the Bulldogs had the hearts of the celery pickers away from their proper places for about two minutes at the last part of the game, the sad part of this narrative is that the locals were unable to push the ball over the line, and the visitors went home with Pasadena’s first league game by a score of 3 to 0. Beaten but not licked tells the tale of the first defeat of the season, for although the P. H. S. footballers were outplayed during most of the game, they showed more oldtime Bulldog fight than in any contest this season. The only scoring came in the second quarter when Raney of Santa Ana booted a place kick from the 25 yard of the game shows that although some showed up better than others at times, they all made mistakes, some of which proved disastrous. “Friscus” Franciscus was changed from end to left full taking Shlaude- man’s place. He was new at the posi¬ tion and had trouble in getting started, but he certainly put up a game little scrap. Captain Chisholm played a great game at left half. During the last few minutes when he was just about all in, he charged at the Santa Ana line like a wild bull at a red blanket. Fouche and Ash both played a wonderful defensive game besides showing up well in hitting the line. There were no stars among the linemen as all played to the finish with all the Pep they could muster. Clarence Baldwin, was playing the game of his life when he was taken out with the old injury to his back that put him out of the Poly game. Simpson, Braley, and Von Mohr held the center of the line down, while line. He tried four more place kicks i ^-emP and Puterbaugh at end did good in the last half, but they were all broken up by the P. H. S. line. From a scientific standpoint, the game was ragged and rather poorly played in spots, but when it comes to good old-fashioned, hit-’em-hard scrap¬ ping, the contest was one of the best so far this season. The members of the local team have no alibis to offer although it was plainly evident from j the start that they were not playing up to their usual form. There were a great many fumbles on both sides and the slowness of the field hindered the playing of the teams. Pasadena got in the hole at the be¬ ginning of the second half when Raney, the Santa Ana wonder, got work. Boorey and McCament, tackled, did their part in smearing line plays and attempts at place kicks. Santa Ana kicked to Wally at the opening whistle. The hall went up and down the field with neither team getting close enough to the goal line to threaten a touchdown. Santa Ana had a big edge on yards gained in the first half by completing several long passes. Raney also got away with some good runs that netted more yards. The locals lost a good deal on fum¬ bles and allowed the Santa Anans to complete many passes, but they never gave up the ship for a minute. After Raney’s place kick, they came back . , fighting harder than ever and the away with an eighty yard run on the half ended with them in possession of kickoff and came dangerously near a tbe bal] touchdown.

A careful analysis AGRICULTURAL CLUB. MORE RESPECT FOR THE FLAG L. A. NORMAL — History students are seriously objecting to the way the two large flags are draped In the auditorium. First the ends of the flags trail on the floor, and they claim that according to rules, only flags without stars should be used for draping. FROSH ARE CHRISTENED. U. S. C.: — Many were the blessed babes who splashed playfully in the new, large, gree tub, gotten especially for that purpose. The upper classmen officiated and met with little resis¬ tance. One of the most loyal and hard¬ working groups of students in the school is the P. H. S. debate squad. The members of the squad are Lawrence Metzger, Hayallie Fiedler, Keith Blanche, Chas. Paddock, Dor¬ othy Vance, Loren Ryder, Arthur Woodworth, Edwin Thayer, and Albert Greenstreet. These, students were chosen after the recent try-out and they are to work for Pasadena in the first series debate. The general ques¬ tion for the debate is on the U. S. government conservation of mineral resources. Mr. Wright has been appointed coach and under his able leadership, the debators should do some good work. The debators have been help¬ ed a great deal by two other Pasaden- amen who are taking a great interest in this activity at P. H. 8. They are Mr. Raymond Thompson a former graduate of this schoool, now an attor¬ ney, and Mr. James Howard, city at¬ torney of Pasadena. A new squad room has been fixed up Just off the library. This new room is much lar¬ ger and more convenient than the one used in former years, and the de¬ baters appreciate the addition very much. Altogether, prospects for a debating championship look very bright. The squad and the coach are doing all they can. The rest lies with the Student Body. Now that the U. S. troops are well on their way to Berlin, a tendency is aroused to offer some way of instruct¬ ing those who are unable to serve in the ranks, in some of the mechanics of modem warfare. With this in mind Miss, Dorothy Dobbins, secretary of the Red Cross Classes Committee, earnestly requests the High School students to enroll in at least’ one of the Red Cross classes. The Committee has secured Quar¬ termaster H. K. Sproull, from the San Pedro Naval Station, as instructor of wig-wagging in the classes given by the local chapter. Work will be offer¬ ed with both lights and flags. Mr. Sproull says signalling is the most important branch of the Navy. All men are required to learn it when entering the service. This class meets Tuesday and Thursday at the Red Cross Headquarters, North Raymond and Chestnut Avenues. The special rate for students is $3.50 for the entire term, beginning Thursday, No¬ vember 14, with both men and women eligible. It Is not too late to join. Capable instructors of wireless telegraphy being difficult to find, the committee considers itself most for¬ tunate in having the services of Mr. Chas. Hibbard to take charge. Mr. Hibbbard has had experience on sea¬ going vessels and has secured a com¬ mercial license. Those wishing to work for a commercial license may continue In the advanced courses. the time, and only the wonderful work of the line in breaking through the visitors’ defense kept them from scoring again. During the last two minutes of play, Chisholm and Ash repeatedly smash¬ ed through the line for several yards at a time. With only a few seconds left to play, Pasadena attempted a place kick, but there was a bawl-up in signals and Santa Ana broke the Last Wednesday the farmers turned over the first soil and started things a going, (mostly in the form of plans, not plants) for the coming year. play “p At the short meeting, the following Coach Cars0n ig far from di8Courag. officers Were chosen after a regular ed over the result of the game for it political riot.

Home Care of the sick given by Miss Delamere, who was so popular with those taking the course last spring, will start when twenty are signed up. This course is made up of fifteen sessons and an examination; all getting over seventy-five per cent receive a Red Cross Certificate and many volunteer for a base hospital. The classes will meet in the Jane Adams Building, Room 4. A special rate is also offered, and girls wishing to join may sign up with Miss Case as soon as possible.
