Interesting cuts add feat¬ ure to the magazine. Chapped hands will be soothed with the purchase of this publication. JUST A LITTLE CLOSER DEER Hunting season will soon be here. Hunting season not of the buck¬ shot kind, but the kind that makes us hunt for good excuses to in¬ flict upon the family as the result of poor grades. The first quarter is already over and the gun has been fired for the second. If we didn’t put up a good fight in the first, we can redouble our efforts in the second. Let’s score more touchdowns than we expected. Memorial Park to Be Scene of Pep Meeting Pre¬ ceding Beach Game MORLEY DRURY TO TALK —4— Rally First of Kind to Be Held for Last Two Seasons Morley Drury, one of the great¬ est halfbacks that U.S.C. has ever known, will be the featured speak¬ er at the night rally which will be held in Memorial Park on next Wednesday evening at seven. The rally , which will be the first of its kind in two years, is being held for the purpose of arousing interest and enthusiasm for the Long Beach game which will be played on Thanksgiving Day. Music by the Bulldog Band, speeches, by John W. Harbeson and J. P. O’Mara, and yells lead by ‘Smilin’’ Steve Salisian will end the program. Following the program in the park, a serpentine made up of all the students and the band will 1 wind through the downtown area to create interest among the townspeople. “Every loyal student of P.J.C. should be present and expostu¬ late,” says Steve Salisian, yell king. Bureau Holds I Poster Contestl All students interested in poster work are urged to enter the poster contest sponsored by the publicity bureau. Each month the three best posters will receive blue, red, and white ribbons. These winners will compete at the end of the year for a silver cup. Entry dates for the December contest are from December 1 to 12. The posters must advertise some phase of school life, and will be judged not only on ar¬ tistic composition but on the ad- fertising value they possess. Judges will be Mrs. Helen H. Effnger, Archibald Wedemeyer, and Edward Kilius of the Pub¬ licity Bureau. INDIA TOPIC OF DEBATE Lower Division Debate Team to Argue Before Local Service Clubs -t- A PRINCE OF A CHAP On December 6 we shall hear from the Players’ Guild, at which time they will give their interpre¬ tation of the Peple comedy of the above name. A capable cast of well known junior collegians have .al¬ ready been working weeks on the production of the “Prince Chap,” this year’s offering, which will be an outstanding feature in the oral arts program of the school. OTHELLO IS WITH US AGAIN Community Playhouse presenta¬ tions are always popular with the junior college, especially when her students compose the cast, as they do in this Shakespearean drama. Special rates are being offered to the students, who should be glad to brush up on the mishaps of Oth¬ ello. IT WON’T BE LONG NOW A week or so more, and many of us will be aware of the fact as to whether or not we will be on the graduation list for this year. Worrying should be done when the list is posted on the bulletin board and not the day of the excercises. If there is any uncertanity as to the number of credits you have, find out while the finding is good and while there is still time to make amends. WHAT TO DO Tonight: The Frosih Dance Thursday: The game with Long December 6: The Prince Chap Sophs’ Party Held Friday Dance Given at Golf Club; Dance Contest Is Feature More than 150 students attend¬ ed the Sophomore class party held last Friday at the Pasadena Golf club.

Hattersley, adviser and : chaperone, states, “The party was ! an ideal one and the same good times may be expected when we i have our own social hall with the added advantage of less expense and a location accessible to all stu¬ dents.” Frank Ross and Milford Fish of the lower division debating team will defend the negative against South Pasadena high school at South Pasadena on December 1. The question is “Resolved: That India should be given the status of a dominion.” The Rotary club is to choose from six questions submitted by Frank Ross, lower division debate manager, one to be debated before them by two members of the lower division team on November 28.

Young to astonished students. “It rained, and I thought I was back in Philadelphia.” “A beastly nuisance, but really beneficial,” frankly admitted Jack Plotkin when questioned about the effect of rain upon his even dispo¬ sition. “The best slogan our cafeteria could adopt would be ‘Bigger and better rains,’ ” confided Joyce Dun- kerley. “Walking in the rain is the most fun,” giggled an anonymous gold¬ en-haired maiden in the A. W. S. office. “It always pleases me so when the rain drops patter down and bounce off of my halo.” . “Refreshing, oh, most refresh¬ ing,” admonished James O. Scott, inexorably showing the interviewer to the student body office door. Upper Debaters Win Practice — ♦— Maurice Stanley and Barbara Phillips of the upper division de¬ bating team defeated Frank Ross and Tom Brady of the lower div¬ ision team by a 3-5 decision, last Thursday, on the subject “Resolv¬ ed : That American industry should adopt the 40-hour week. Tuesday evening, Robert Ryan and Winston Trevor, P. J. C. negative team, de¬ bated the L. A. J. C. affirmative on the same question. I Second Student l Dance Is Held ! — ♦ — 1 i I Wednesday afternoon in the girls’ gymnasium, from 3 to 5, was held the second dance of the year. Last year’s dances and the two this year have proved that these dances will be well received and the students are reported to favor more of them. Some of the success was be¬ lieved to be due to the adver¬ tising work of Doug McMann and Larry Smith, while credit goes to Bill Dunkerley, in charge. Georgian Britsch man¬ aged the refreshments. An added attraction of the afternoon was Dick Moder and his Bandoliers from Los Ange¬ les. This orchestra has played at several restrictive club af¬ fairs, and the trumpet player is from Pasadena. Representing the lower division journalism classes, six P. J. C. students accompanied by Miss Haz¬ el G. Long, instructor, are attend¬ ing the annual fall convention of the Southern Cali f ornia High School Press association at Redon¬ do Beach high school, today. Round table discussions, brief lectures, election of officers, lun¬ cheon, and awarding of journalist¬ ic honor ratings by Elizabeth “Ted” Hawkins, sports writer and assist¬ ant instructor of journalism at U. S. C., will make up the day’s pro¬ gram. Students accompanying Miss Long, who has charge of the round table on news discussion, are Pet¬ er Allen, Bob Coop, Charles High¬ tower, Eleanor Levins, Harold Keltz, and Richard Penny. A.W. S.

Pasadena junior college students have shown their interest in the works of William Shakespeare by their attendance during the last week at the performances of “Oth¬ ello” which is closing tomorrow night at the Pasadena Community Playhouse. The numbers of stu¬ dents who have attended the play far exceeds the expectations of the Playhouse box office, according to Charles Prickett, business manager of the Playhouse. All drama classes have received special credit toward class work if they have attended the production. Gilmor Brown, in the title role, has received the plaudits of the press. He has made himself fam¬ ous by his interpretations of Shake- sperean roles.

Then there’ll be car¬ toons of Johnny Seixas, Bill Ram¬ say, and some of the other fel¬ lows.” Staff members working on the literary section intimated that | poems and short stories would also, be football in theme, among them a realistic poem by a wellrknown Pasadena student. Included in other accepted contributions is an Oriental opium-dream fantasy. Editorial adviser for “Scholar and Clown” is Miss Edna F.

Tonigiht, tomor¬ row afternoon, and tomorrow even¬ ing any pupil will receive the spec¬ ial student rates. Small Children Are Included In 6 ‘Prince Clap ” Cast Roster The cast of the “Prince Chap” annual production of the Players’ Guild dramatic society, introduces a girl of six in the first act, the same girl, two years later in the second, and the girl grown up to be a young lady in the final scene. The part of the young girl of six in the first act will be taken by Sally Hazenbush, who has ap¬ peared before on the J. C. stage in the role of the flower girl in the “Taming of the Shrew,” which was presented by the club two years ago. “This young lady has already endeared herself to the members of the entire cast,” says Miss Eliza¬ beth Keppie, director. Twila Jack, eight years old, was chosen as the lead in the second act; she is also becoming a* great favorite among those connected with the play. Ruth Walter has been selected by the judging committee to play Claudia in the third act. Ruth Wal¬ ter takes the same part which the children play in the first and sec¬ ond acts. Although this is her first appearance on the local stage, she has had much dramatic experience, having played the leading femin¬ ine roles in such plays as “The Patsy,” “Сарру Ricks,” “The Charm School,” and “The Roman¬ cer.” The last play was presented by the Laguna Beach community players under the direction of Mrs. Guy Bates Post, wife of the fam¬ ous character actor.
