Whip Weber Tonight In The Bowl Vol. 32 Spirit Conscious PJC Grads Form New Club; To Be /Bulldogs/ So that the old Bulldog spirit may be maintained among the many alumni of PJC and the old PHS, a new club to be known of¬ ficially as the “Bulldog Club” has been organized by the Alum¬ ni association. Its backers be¬ lieve that the Bulldog Club will not only become the active nu¬ cleus for future Alumni Asso¬ ciation activities, but will serve a constructive purpose of its own as a mobilization unit of Alumni backing for the much needed new Student Union Building on the East Campus. Bulldog Club card holders are to receive many advantages. In addition to receiving the Alumni magazine with out further cost, the members will be mailed the Chronicle, one a month, with an Alumni column in that particular Chronicle. Also there will be football programs, other athletic schedules and special announce¬ ments from time to time. Furth¬ ermore, Bulldog members will be privileged to buy tickets to spe¬ cial and sought after events, such as Gloria, in advance. Net proceeds from the Bulldog Club are to go to the Student Union Building Fund. Mars Influences War Mode Hits Art Department In collaboration with National Art Week and as its contribution to the National Defense Pro¬ gram, PJC’s Art Department is devoting time in each class to the creation of objects suitable for veterans hospitals and mili¬ tary encampments. Designs need not be seasonal as cards, lap boards, jigsaw puzzles, etc., arc being accumulated for the com¬ ing year. From a list of suggestions by Mary Louise Grow, Junior Di¬ rector of American Red Cross, classes are choosing projects which tie in best with the course of study. Color and Design stu¬ dents are planning bridge tallies and menu covers. Archie Wedemeyer, head of the Art department, is in charge of the work, and materials are be¬ ing furnished by the Pasadena chapter of the Red Cross.

Note: Girls picked here by Chronicle’s judges are not. to be confused with the final selection of the Rose Queen and her court by actual judges on the Tournament of Roses committee. The Chronicle has picked seven girls from the 15 now left in the contest, did not single out any one girl as Queen. It is entirely possible that the final decision from the judging committee may include only one or two of the pretty girls shown here. But PJC’s Chronicle stands pat, believes its choice to be as near to a majority selection of the Student Body as is possible by a cross section cut. ■w Cut Courtesy Pasadena Independent By MARY LOU ALTON Long a course of speculation to the general public as well as to PJC students, is the final outcome of the contest for Tournament of Roses Queen. As the day of the coronation ap¬ proaches, the air is thick with prognostications, the Chron¬ icle, too, hazards a guess, names its choice for the seven fi¬ nalists but hesitates to name a queen. As the seven most beau¬ tiful, most queenly of PJC’s co-eds, concensus shows Pat Lee, number 34; Elizabeth Allansworth, 4; the twins, Betty and Dorothy Kumer, 32 and 33; Dottie Young, 67; Pat Hops, 28, and Juiie O’Grady, 45, as the most likely choice of Chairman Louis Vencenti and his judging committee. The 15 semi-finalists, having survived personality tests, photogenic tests, poise tests, smile tests, last week took inten¬ sive voice tests. Each prospective queen was given one min¬ ute before a microphone, to speak on any subject she might choose, then while the judges took notes, each girl read lines from a radio script and their voices were recorded for future reference. Though the judges may award top honors to seven co-eds other than those which have been chosen by the Chronicle editorial board, still the remaining eight will have parts in the coronation ceremonies. At the Civic Auditorium December 17, in an elaborate musical prologue “The Rose Medley,” the seven girls will be presented individually as their own Rose song is played by the orchestra. These names might well be the ones announced that eventful night to the tune of Rose Marie, My Wild Irish Rose or Honeysuckle Rose : Emmogene Stone, number 58; Sally Stanton, 57; Cosette Vinji, 64; Ann Stratton, 59; Claudine Radeke, 48; Jerry Beckman, 8, and number 23, Elaine Harmon. Five Performances Hop Vista Del Arroyo Го Be Scene Of Freshman Dance Under the able direction of its eleven members of the Commit¬ tee for Social Affairs, plans for the semi-annual Freshman Dance are going forward. The Class of ’44 has secured the Vista del Ar¬ royo Hotel ballroom. Four hours of dancing are promised for the evening of November 30. Bud Malian and his orchestra will provide the music for this gala event. Freshmen class mem¬ bers are selling bids and they may also be procured at the stu¬ dent bank for 55 cents. Dramatics Cast Chosen Uitiateslfa For Fifth /Gloria/ Directing highly successful, “Gloria,” for the fifth time are Katherine Kester and Lula Claire Parmley. The directors are also creators of this choral play and of last year’s Christ¬ mas production, “Sing Nowell.” This year’s Christmas program will be as great, if not greater than previous ones. Nysean and Euterpean singers, the A Cappella Choir, and a selected voice class will be a Celestial Choir, Shepherds, the Processional and Balcony Sing¬ ers. Though it is mainly a musical production, drama and music will be coorodinated. Cloyde Howard, narrator, Robert Hend¬ rickson, Arthur Weatherby, Dor¬ othea Streib, Jean Rowley, Doris Kromann, Leito Gruwell, Rod¬ ney Munson, Norman Boxly, John Newton, and Raymond Va¬ lois supply the dramatics. Due to public demand there will be five presentations, two on December 13 and one on Sunday, Decem¬ ber 15, on the East Campus. On the West Campus there will be two shows on Tuesday, Decem¬ ber 17. Nearing the end of its pre-vo¬ cation activities, Hosts of PJC formally initiated six new active members last Sunday. Installed into executive offices were Ruth Rinehart, Dick Tolbert, Suzanne Clubb, Bruce Swim, Mary Lou Oakley and Dick Davis. The Plost club will soon finish its parties for this semester. Sat¬ urday, December 7, has been set as the date of the last group of parties, /-j^v student not invited to parties yet this semester may receive an invitation by leaving his name at the Host office, Room 14 D (East) or the Stu¬ dent Union (West). Students who would like to become mem¬ bers of the Host are requested to talk to Dr. M. W. Laubenfels or Ronald Bradley. There are more openings for men than women. Miss Kerns Directs President Proclaims, PJC Honors National Art Week By Presidential proclamation, the week between Novem¬ ber 25 and December 1 has been set aside as National Art Week. Serious observance by artists and art lovers is fast making Art Week an American tradition. During this period artists price their work as low as possible, schools display stu¬ dent work in arts and crafts, art galleries and studios hold free exhibitions, and demonstrations in practical arts. Notes To Fly PJC Hosts Music Educator's Confab Musical invaders will take the campus next Saturday morning. Jaysee’s orchestra and singing groups are host to the annual fall meeting of the California Western Music Educators Con¬ ference, which more than one thousand are expected to attend. The general session is at 11:00 o’clock in the Sexson Audito¬ rium, followed by luncheon at the Pasadena Athletic Club. “We would be happy to have all students interested in music come to this program,” said Mil- ton Mohs, orchestra director. The orchestra will break into strains from Anton Dvorak’s “From the Western World” and Max Bruck’s Prelude to “Lorely.” The speaker, H. E. Chamberlain of Sacramento, will then be intro¬ duced. The finale of “Gloria” will be presented by request under the direction of Miss Lulu C. Parm¬ ley with a cast of students num¬ bering about 150. Various singing groups in the school will partici¬ pate in the production. Leita Crueel will have the lead as the Madona, with Norman Boxley taking the part of Joseph. The three Kings are portrayed by Stanley Meacham, Rodney Mun¬ son, and Raymond Valois. Other leading roles are filled by Jean Rowley, Doris Kromann, Arthur Weatherby, Jay Harbour, Doro¬ thea Strib and Cloyde Howard. The male quartet consisting of Norman Boxley, Rodney Mun¬ son, John Newton and Raymond Valois will sing at the luncheon. Guests will also be entertained at that time by the Melody Maids, a string ensemble. Section meetings of the Con¬ ference will start at 9 o’clock. Six of these are planned and will include demonstrations and lec¬ tures. These groups will break up to join the others in the audi¬ torium at 11:00. Neglected Dads To Be Honored Feeling that he has been left out too long, the men’s restric¬ tive and non-restrictive clubs of PJC have set aside tonight to honor dear old Dad. Rather than hold a big Father and Son Ban¬ quet each club is paying tribute to its collective fathers in a dif¬ ferent way. One of the clubs is having club mothers furnish food for a pic¬ nic at Brookside Park (presum¬ ably only the fathers and sons do the eating). Others are giving suppers before the Weber game. Still others are scheduling stag parties after the game. Many are just taking their dads to the game. As a final gesture. Dean Stong’s office has announced that all dads or guardians will be admitted to the rooting sec¬ tion with their sons. EAST CAMPUS MUSIC HOUR 200 C Monday, 11:20, 12:20 1.

Miss Kerns, director of Art for the Pasadena City Schools, is dis¬ playing the results of her many summers- in the South Sea Is¬ lands, Tahiti and Hawaii. Her subjects are the flora and fauna as they appear in their native surroundings. Like guilding the lily are the harmonizing mats and frames with which Miss Kerns has finished her paintings. Carrying out the slogan, “Ameri¬ can Art For Every Home,” the mounted pictures would grace any room. Miss Kerns, long affiliated with Art Center School at Los An¬ geles and Pasadena schools, is a graduate of Columbia Univer¬ sity, has studied in Europe; her name is included among those of other great artists in “Who’s Who in American Art.” Her paintings are in great demand for exhibitions throughout the nation. She will be honored at a tea on Thursday afternoon when school officials will view her works. Zeta Gamma Phi, nation¬ al honorary art fraternity, has arranged the exhibition and ex¬ ecuted the flower arrangements. Hats Off! West Campus Prof Reviewed West Campus is proud of its Leland Pryor, who is director of Business School, member of the California Teacher’s Association, member of the State Council of Education, member of the Execu¬ tive Committee, recent appointee to Ethics Committee National Education Association, past In¬ ternational President and Lieu¬ tenant in the Army. Now Mr. Pryor has been nominated for vice-president of the California Teachers’ Association, southern section.
