During Noon Time
To decide if the boys would stop
abusing the privilege of leaving the
grounds at noon, the Boys’ League
convened in the auditorium first
advisory period, Friday. Com¬
plaints on the conduct of a few ir¬
responsible boys who left the cam¬
pus at noon were registered
with the Board of Education, ac¬
cording to William F. Ewing, prin¬
cipal. He placed the alternative
of improving the conduct, or having
the permission revoked before the
boys, who voiced their desire to
continue the privilege.

JUNIORS ill BE
HELD TOMORROW
CLUB- DAYS ARE
GETTING MIXED
Because of the fact that many
clubs are holding their meet¬
ings on dates other than those
set by the administration, stu¬
dents are missing important
gatherings which they would
like to attend.
It has been arranged that each
club should meet once a month
and if an extra meeting is de¬
sired it should be held after
school hours.
Mr. Newlin, chairman of the
administration committee, states
the dates of many club meetings
are such that they conflict with
others and are due to careless¬
ness of the presiding officer.
Mr. Newlin requests that all
presidents not knowing the date
set for his club, please consult
him.
The fight’n Bullpups will “carry
on” into the Southern California
play-offs for further honors. The
lightweights are favorites to re¬
peat former wins while meeting
champs of other circuits and Coach
Baker is strengthening his team so
as to be in top-notch condition for
the first game. As they emerge
champions of the City League, the
world is called upon to view a most
unusual record for any team, it is
this: in thirteen games played in
two years, the opponents of the
Pasadena 130 pound team have only
scored 23 points; on the other hand
they have scored 377 points in these
games. These figures do not in¬
clude the numerous practice games
or scrimmages as with Huntington
Park, John Muir, or Lincoln High,
but merely regularly scheduled
tilts.
Then Long Beach
Ending the City League calendar
by defeating Long Beach High 35
to 0, Captain Hassler’s crew did
things up in perfect Red and
White. Other victims of the sea¬
son were Franklin (43-3) ; Holly¬
wood (18-0); Mandal (14-0) ; Whit¬
tier (7-0); Loyola College outlaw
lightweights (0-0).
Coach Frank Baker is optimistic
and thinks that Pasadena has an
even chance in the semi-finhls.
Glendale, Chaffey Union, Gardena,
and Whittier will be among the
contenders for cleanup honors.
Leaving the midgets’ fold are
“Hap” Kelley and Don Novis, going
because of the “advoirdupois” rul¬
ing, while others just by ounces
were able to keep under weight.
For two years “Hap” starred for
Coach Baker, being an exceptional
defensive man and a “whiz” on the
kick-off. If an all-city 130 crew is
picked “j^ap” is nominated for first
and highest honors. He will be
with the varsity next year. Don
Novis has played a spectacular
game all season and knows how to
tackle, and he also will say “Good
morning, Coach Griffith,” next year.
The nucleus of the team that
Coach Baker will have for the rest
of the year includes Nor Jaqua,
Lew Vincenti, Paul (of the same
name), Tommy Mulvin, “Artie” Sy-
vertson, and Bill Axtell. Hassler
and Sanford, backfield stars, have
been performing in A-l manner all
s^son.
A bevy of second string stars
Coach Baker has include “Nub”
Borsen, Johnny Nuhn, Slick,
Edward Kellogg, Selisian Sam,
Chili Mack, Jack Olney, and Nor¬
ton Coleman.
Big Rumor
Joe O’Connor, star digit yeller of
the varsity, and “Nap” Von Praag
will join Coach Baker’s boys, and
possibly Paul Bye, if his injured
foot permits, thus strengthening
the team greatly.
EDUCATION WEEK

other “National Education Week,”

derstanding of the foundation of
American education. John J. Ti-
gert, United States Commissioner

to take up various phases of the
program for the week, and the art
department, under the direction of

helpful posters bearing upon the
importance of education.

RECORD OF PASADENA
LONG BEACH BATTLES
Some people think that Long Beach usually wallops Pasadena.
This, however, is untrue for out of the last nine games with the
Jackrabbits, the Bulldogs have won four and tied one. This puts
Pasadena on an even basis with the Seasiders. Following are the
scores :

SENIOR, HAVE
YOU PAID UP?
Say there, Senior!
How about that dollar you
owe your class? How about
that “one-berry” bill that is
moulding in your pocket for
want of something to spend it
on ?
Wouldn’t it be a good idea to
dash down to the west basement
and plunk it in front of “Rod”
Ward and receive a little yellow
card saying that you are a paid-
up member of the Senior class?
Maybe you didn’t know that
the Class of ’23 is soon to give
a rousing party at a nearby
country club, the peppiest party
since the days of Solomon.
Maybe you didn’t know that
you have to pay before you can
come.
Time flies. Act quickly.
