ASSEMBLY
IS AD FOR
PLAY DAY
Singing of Schools Songs Is
Main Part of Program
This Morning

MISS PARMLEY DIRECTS

Sextette of Bulldog Band
Trumpeters Furnish
Accompaniment
In order to advertise play
day, the assembly program
for today was characterized j
by the singing of the school;
songs, directed by Miss Lulaj
C. Parmley.
A sextette of trumpeters from
the Bulldog band accompanied,
while members of the mixed chor¬
uses and glee clubs were distri¬
buted throughout the auditorium
and on the stage to assist in the
songs.
Two new songs, with the words
of one written by Miss Parmley
and Audre L. Stong, were intro¬
duced for the first time by the glee
clubs and mixed choruses.
SWISS YODELERS APPEAR
IN ASSEMBLY
Echoes of Switzerland were pro¬
vided in the assembly of September
25, when Mme. Marcelle Grand-
ville and Fritz Zimmerman, noted
concert artists, clad in picturesque,
native Swiss costumes, entertained
the student body by explaining the
yodel and yodeling in the typical
mountain fashion.
One clever conception was that
in which the artists echoed each
other, while another number, enti¬
tled “Yodeling the Blues Away,”
was received enthusiastically by
the students.
Other numbers included “The
Happy Yodel er” and “Fearless in
the Mountains.”
First Dance
On Tuesday
With the first student body
dance of the year scheduled for
Tuesday afternoon, October 6, at
3 p. m., social activities at the
junior college will hit full stride
next week. Muriel Cannon, sec¬
retary of social affairs, is in
charge of the program, and Bob
Fellows’ new orchestra, the
Vagabonds, a six-piece group,
will furnish music. Student ad¬
mission is 15 cents.
Informal dances of this type
were held last year and were
fairly successful. They will
probably be held again this
year, depending on the success
of the first “hop.”
New Students

the highlight of the evening in the

sion, with all new students who are
members of restrictive clubs, and
advisers, are invited to the affair.
Joyce Dunkerley, Lila West, and
Robbins Little are in charge of the
dance and entertainment. Frank
Tremaine, secretary of the council,

Manning, treasurer, has charge of

or Miss Catherine Robbins in the
dean of women’s office.
Y. W. C. A. EATS
A pot luck supper featured the
first meeting of the social commit¬
tee of the Y. W. C. A., held re¬
cently at the home of Alice Philp,

will be nominated, elected, and in¬

given. The rest of the program
will be devoted to favorite games
of the students.

new students from junior high
schools who are eligible to mem¬

Astronomy Classes
Filled to Limit
Promise of more extensive and
interesting research in the new
astronomy department has inspired
students to fill the enrollment to
the limit. The two classes, each
with a capacity, have been com¬
pleted for more than a week.
The new telescope, which is not
entirely assembled and adjusted,
will be ready for operation soon.

furnish the music. Numbers
will be broadcast over radio
stations KNX and KFWB.

purse belonging to a nearby
resident was found by a gar¬
dener, while digging around
the shrubbery in the junior col¬

As the purse was stolen., the
money had been extracted, but
driver’s license, clippings, and
snapshots remained intact.

WELFARE FUND
Growing out of a discussion at
an inter-club council meeting be¬
fore the beginning of school, “The
Club” today founded a welfare
fund for girls by the deposition of
a check in the school bank.
Any club may add to this su n,
which will be used to help women
ho arc in need at Pasadena jun¬
ior college.
Wednesday marked the appear¬
ance of the new junior college stu¬
dent manual, which is expected to
make clear most of the difficulties
encountered by new students.
The manual is divided into 12
sections. These are: calendar,
school policies, constitution, who’s
who, “Koilege Kants,” student ac¬
tivities, clubs, women’s and men’s
sports, traditions, college centers,
class schedules, and a miscellane¬
ous section containing student
body card privileges, service point
awards, attendance rules, and
others.
Doug McMann, editor; Dale Roe,
associate editor; and Miss Gladys
L. Snyder, adviser, gathered the
material and revised it into hand¬
book form. The junior college print
shop, under the direction of John
K. Leberman, worked overtime to
get the book to the students on
Wednesday.
