Education
Aims Told
By Sexson
Appreciation, Good Taste,
Character Stressed
At Convocation
“If America is to be a place
where people are to be happy, we
will need more than academic stud¬
ies. We will have to have people
who can live together under decent
terms and decent conditions,” pre¬
dicted Dr. John A. Sexson, superin¬
tendent of the Pasadena city
schools, at the first convocation of
the semester, held in the men’s
gymnasium last Monday.
After a brief explanation by Dr.
Harbeson, principal of the junior
college, upon the purpose of convo¬
cations, Dr. Sexson was informally
presented to the student body.
The superintendent gave a brief
introduction in which he linked his
speech with one that he had given
several years previous, when our
nation was at the height of sucess
and, as he stated, students were
not taking a thoughtful attitude
toward education.
His speech was based on the
three fundamentals that he be¬
lieved are essential for a useful
education: mainly, character, good
taste, and an appreciation of worth
while things.
“Unless you obtain something
useful out of your education you
are as bad off as the man who has
bought a radio which is without
tubes or the man with an automo¬
bile without an engine,” declared
Dr. Sexson.
He continued, “Education is
something which is useful in homes,
in business, in friendships and in
every walk of life. By education
I am referring to professional, vo-
catioial, general, cultural and tech¬
nical education, all of which have
the same basic fundamentals.’"
“The first fundamental is char¬
acter,” said the speaker, as he
quoted from a recent speech made
by Mrs. Herbert Hoover, wife of
the former president. “Learn the
meaning of the words truth, honor
and integrity and you will be well
on the way of developing a well-
rounded character.”
The second fundamental is the
application of good taste and,
lastly, as the future of our Ameri¬
can nation is dependent largely on
what is done in leisure hours, the
application of good taste plays a
large part in education.
Dr. Sexson closed, saying: “Out
of your college education you are
exnecte-d to be the kind of people
we would like to be with continu¬
ously. If you do this you will be
truly educated.”
The convocations for the re¬
mainder of this semester are to be
held on the first Monday of each
month and the speakers will be an¬
nounced in advance of each meet¬
ing. _
Hallowe’en Is
Party Theme
Mingling with pumpkins, witches
and ghosts, the women students on
the campus will enjoy a Hallow¬
e’en party, sponsored by the A.
W. S. in the men’s gym, October 10.
In addition to the round of card
playing, jig-saw puzzles and danc¬
ing, the guests will preview a par¬
ade of new fall styles. Models for
the fashion show will be jaysee co¬
eds. Other inducements offered
those attending the gathering are
a dance contest with prizes for the
winners, and refreshments.
General chairman for the affair
is Anona Alexander, A. W. S. first
vice-president, assisted by Joanna
Pupis, cards; Olive Pupis, refresh¬
ments; and Betty Berry, decora¬
tions.
Regulars and
Inexperienced
Vie in Tryouts
Inexperienced, as well as ex¬
perienced, students have a
chance to try out for the P. J. C.
pep commission this afternoon
at 3:15 in the band building, ac¬
cording to Dick Gorby, secretary
of athletics, in charge of tryouts.
The tryouts were to have been
held in the assembly on October
12, but were changed to this date.
Five girls for song leaders and
five boys for yell leaders will be
chosen at this time.
The pep commission plans for
bleacher stunts and organized
rooting sections, which will be

( Continued on Page Three)
Drama Club
Holds Trials
Membership try-outs for Bauble
and Bells, lower division dramatics
club, will be held next Thursday
at 3:30 p. m. in room 116T.
Stating that membership in the
club is looked upon as an honor,

ter, adviser, urges all 11-2’s, 12-1’s,
and 12-2’s to try out. Ten girls
and six boys will be accepted for
membership.

teacher, and Linn W. Hattersley,
social science instructor, will act
as judges.
Officers of the club for this se¬
mester are: president, Jack Lonzo;
vice-president, Barney Hayes; sec¬
retary, Barbara McCullough; and

Plans for
Debaters
Are Made
Hopes Optimistic, Though
Squad Suffers Loss
In Graduation
After suffering a serious loss
through the graduation of several
debate team members, plans for
the coming year for the squad are
now being formulated, with opti¬
mistic hopes, according to Earl D.
Davis, debate coach.
The first of a series of approxi¬
mately 100 engagements will be a
practice debate, for returning
members of last term’s squad, dur¬
ing class time on, “Resolved: That
the California state sales tax
should be retained.” Additional
early arguments will be held this
fall for Pasadena service organiza¬
tions.
Returning team members in¬
clude Harold Burgh, Dow Parkes,
Chester Radford, Joe Phillips and
Jason Lee, while those who grad¬
uated and have gone to higher uni¬
versities, pursuing their oral inter¬
ests there, include Paul Jones and
Marlin Lovelady, Pacific coast
champions of Pi Kappa Delta, na¬
tional debate organization; James
Williams, Virginia Hudson, Charles
Havens, Louis LaGrave, Joe Phelps,
Bob Trumbull and Bud Desenberg.
“Although we don’t have many
left over from last semester and
most of the material for the team
will be new, things look interest¬
ing, but we’ll have to begin at the
bottom and work up. In spite of
the fact that a great deal of prac¬
tice is necessary, we will partici¬
pate in fully as many tournaments
as we did last year,” said Mr.
Davis.
The general program will start
with the first major tournament at
Redlands university, annually
sponsored by that institution, with
participants invited from colleges
and lower divisions of junior col¬
leges of Southern California. The
Los Angeles junior college winter
debate is next, with a Phi Rho Pi
tourney following.
About April or early May comes
the Pi Kappa Delta, national fra¬
ternity, debate, with practice and
individual arguments interspersed
among the main events.
“All students who are interested
should see me in Tent 34 some
time during the coming week, after
fifth or sixth periods on Monday,
Wednesday or Friday,” concluded
the faculty debate head.
Lancers Elect
Committees
Another Meeting to Be
Held Today in
Room 100T
The appointment of permanent
chairmen of three committees fea¬
tured the first regular meeting of
Lancers, men’s honorary service
organization, last Tuesday after¬
noon.
Jack Atkinson was appointed
head of the football gate commit¬
tee, which polices Horrell field at
all home games. He will be assist¬
ed by all Lancers not on the
squads.
Those men who are out for foot¬
ball will work on the “closed cam¬
pus” committee, under the direc¬
tion of John Heckler. Fred Childs
was appointed to head preparations
for the annual Long Beach football
rally and the “whiskerino” contest.
It was decided to construct a
Lancer bulletin board on the cam¬
pus to keep members better in¬
formed on their duties. Measure¬
ments were also taken for sweat¬
ers for new members.
Another meeting of the organi¬
zation has been called for this aft¬
ernoon at 3 o’clock in 100T, at
which time details of the commit¬
tees’ work will be arranged.

Semester Is
Inaugurated
By Students
Inaugurating a new semester of
activities, associated riien and
women students heir their first
gathering of the year, last Friday
morning, during club period.
Vezie Speaks
Manfield Vizie, assistant coach
of Loyola college and former foot¬
ball end for the University of
Notre Dame, under Knute Rockne,
was the featured speaker at last
Friday’s A. M. S. assembly held
on the men’s bleachers.
Introduced by Dean of Men
James P. O’Mara, who told of the
speaker’s experience as both play¬
er and coach, Mr. Vizie then ad¬
dressed the men students and re¬
lated various bits of humor that
he experienced as a player, and the
need for large turnouts at the com¬
ing games of the junior college
teams.
He also stressed the fact that
many opportunities are opened to
those who participate in school
athletics and suggested that three
extra-fine teams might be obtained
from the imposing presentation of
2100 men students that he ad¬
dressed, He closed by wishing luck
to both teams and coaches in the
games that they are to undertake
this coming semester.

The senior class meeting, to be
held in the men’s gym, will fea¬
ture varied musical selections by

teresting program of speakers to
complement the election,” says Don
Starr, junior representative.
Petitions necessary for candi¬
dacy may be procured from Elea¬
nor Northrup, student body presi¬
dent, at the student body desk in
the administration building; Miss
Catherine J. Robbins, dean of wom¬
en; or Don Starr. They must be

sources by tomorrow. Activity
cards are not necessary as records
will be checked through the records
office.
SOPHOMORES MEET
ON BLEACHERS
The sophomore class will meet
on the south end of the bleachers,
according to John Benton, class
president. With the purpose of the
meeting to elect class officers for
the forthcoming semester, Benton
has announced that tomorrow, not
later than 3 p. m., will be the dead¬
line for petitions and signed eligi¬
bility cards to be returned to him
or Miss Catherine J. Robbins, stu¬
dent body adviser. These are a
requisite to candidacy in the .elec¬
tion, he said.
Early next week, the executive
committee will meet for appoint¬
ment of the class council, which,
in turn, will meet Thursday, Oc¬
tober 11, at 3 p. m. in room IS
to formulate plans for the com¬
ing semester.
Their chief problem will be to
make plans for the class major so¬
cial event, the Thanksgiving eve
dance to be held in conjunction
with the junior class.
Did You Know?
That Pasadena junior college
students consume 1080 eggs a week
in the cafeteria ?
That all the butter used in one
week’s time, if placed one pound
on top of the other, would tower
20 feet into the air?
That we pour down our throats
100 gallons of soup and 35 gallons
of orange juice each week ?
That the sugar if moulded in
half-inch cubes and placed end on
end would extend 7500 inches?
That all the cold sandwiches if
placed end on end would cover a
distance of one-seventh of a mile ?
That the milk bottles that con¬
tain the milk we use in one day
if placed one on top of the other
would form a glass tower 1375
inches into the air?
That in one day’s time 192 heads
of lettuce and 72 bunches of car¬
rots are used?
That there are 50 pies and eight
cakes used daily?
The lower division meets the
Cathedral Purple Phantoms on
Horrell field following the tilt,
which starts at 1 p. m., between
the Bullpups and the Terriers.
Classes will be shortened dur¬
ing the day to allow collegians
to attend the event, while junior
high schools of the city will also
be allowed to see the annual
event.
Admission has been placed at 25
cents and no other pass, such as
identification cards, will be hon¬
ored. Student body books will be
handed out a short time after this
athletic presentation.
Famed because of its unusual
between - the - halves stunts, the
Bulldog band, under the direction
of Audre L. Stong, will entertain
the aggregation between the two
encounters. The wide repertoire of
fight songs, stunts and entertain¬
ment will be demonstrated by the
musicians.
Lead Cheers
According to Dick Gorby, secre¬
tary of athletics, cheer kings and
song leaders will be chosen by that
time to lead the locals in a series
of yells and songs. “By doing this
we hope to help the Bulldogs and
add spirit and color to the after¬
noon.”
Field day has grown to be one
of the major traditions of the
junior college, ranking with the
annual pre-Long Beach game
bonfire and rally. Last year P.
J. C. also met the Cathedral lites
defeating them by a score of
20-9. The lower division light¬
weights also meet well-known
foes when they tangle with the
Muir Tech squad. Last year they
were soundly defeated by the in¬
vading horde of terriermen.
Last year a complete sell-out of
the 4400 seats available in the jun¬
ior college bleachers made it im¬
possible for many to witness the
classic. With the advent of five
junior high school enthusiasts, the
Muir Tech rooters and the Cathe¬
dral guests, another sell-out is an¬
ticipated by the administration.
Office Workers
Are Requested
Students are still needed for of¬
fice assistance in the administra¬
tion offices, textbook room, library
and offices of the department chair¬
men. Service points are awarded
for this work.
These points are valuable not
only for their worth in the rec¬
ords, but they also serve as recom¬
mendation for honors, college
scholarships and aids to securing
business positions. Valuable train¬
ing for junior college positions and
opportunities for getting acquaint¬
ed are also offered through these
contacts.
Information and applications for
this work can be secured from
Miss Catherine J. Robbins, dean
of women, J. P. O’Mara, dean of
men, and Mrs. Mabel White in the
textbook room.
Student Books
Ready Monday
At School Bank
Containing the tickets of ad¬
mission to P. J. C. athletic and
dramatic events, the student
body book will be given out Mon¬
day, October 8, at the school
bank. These books will be issued
upon the showing of the stu¬
dent’s receipt and identification
card.
There will be tickets for every
regular football game played by
each team. Twin tickets are pro¬
vided for the games scheduled
with league basketball oppon¬
ents.
Additional event tickets are
included in the book for admis¬
sion to the plays presented by
the Players’ Guild and Bauble
and Bells. For all other events,
the green cover of the book will
serve as a pass.
