Circus Burlesque Entertains Jrs. Tonight
Freaks Will
Astound At
Class Frolic
‘Midget Man’, ‘Fire Eater’
To Amaze Visitors Of
Spectacular Fete
With the “Midget Man,” the
smallest human in captivity, and
the “Fire Eater,” the eighth won¬
der of the world, on hand, to amaze
and astound, the junior class cir¬
cus frolic will hold sway in the
women’s gym tonight starting at
8 p. m. A few tickets are still
available at the student body office.
Under the “big top,” wild ani¬
mals of the ape and cat variety
will romp without the restraint of
iron cages while leading the group
games under the direction of Coach
Everett F. Niday.
Competitive Skits
In the three rings, competitive
comedy skits will be enacted by
graduates of rival high schools.
Alhambra’s “Cracked Nuts” with
Fred Green in charge, will amuse
spectators, while “The Yogi IIou-
dini,” sponsored by Muir Tech,
with Audrey Reynolds at the head,
will offer words of wisdom to trou¬
bled minds and perform other mir¬
acles.
Under the direction of Betty
Lewis and Reed Quesnell, South
Pasadena will offer a “Variety
Show” featuring an Apache dance.
Monrovia, with Marjorie Loomis as
leader, will also compete for the
grand prize to be awarded the best
act by the popular vote of the
audience.
No circus would be complete
without its barker, so Don Mans¬
field will strain his vocal chords in
order to lure the victims into the
side shows.
While struggling in a mass of
sawdust and avoiding banners
along the walls, the crowds will
participate in games and lustily
shout songs, directed by “Dodo”
Ennis and accompanied by Ray
Kendall. At the close of the fes¬
tivities, cider and pretzels will be
served to the hungry mob.

Field Day Scheduled Today
As Rally Stirs Enthusiam
Vezie Talks at First Pep
Rally; New Yell Kings
Lead Cheers
Stirring up enthusiasm in the
student body that swelled the
bleachers, the Lancers and pep
commission launched the first pep
rally during assembly period, as a
forerunner of Field day this week.
Manfred Vezie, formerly three-
year varsity end for Notre Dame
and present assistant coach at
Loyola, set the sparks flying with
a pep talk.
Color and harmony was fur¬
nished by the Bulldog band’s ren¬
dering of “Sturdy as the Moun¬
tains,” a specialty number, and
“Pasadena.”
Yell and song leaders’ gesticula¬
tions, key to the voice of the stu¬
dent body, ran riot. New cheer in¬
stigators presented include: “Mutt”
Barnett, Morgan West, and Jack
Creamer. Mason Mallory, Art Ryon,
Ray Lundy, and Vernon Leif com¬
peted for two more positions.
From the roster of song leader
contestants, Dorothy C'ordray, Ja¬
net Meub, Catherine West, Kay
Butler, Helen McGowan, Betty
Allen, Babe Higbee, Harriet Til-
den, and Mary Lou Dunham, con¬
tested for five posts.
Jack Shepard, Lancer president,
and Art Ryon, pep commissioner,
were responsible for arrangement
of the program.
Club Policy
Is Maintained
Bill Two Football Games
For Afternoon; Price
Is 25 Cents
Restrictive Club Members
Observe ‘Hands Off'
Traditions
Field Day, annual classic of the
junior college gridiron, will be re¬
newed for the eighth time this aft¬
ernoon when the lower division
football varsity faces the team rep¬
resenting Cathedral high school of
Los Angeles, and the junior college
lightweight eleven plays its rival
from the northside, the Muir Tech
Terriers, for the championship of
Pasadena, on Horrell field.
Beginning at 1:15, with the
Bullpups, coached by Leland C.
McAuley, facing its foes for city
honors, the Field day festivities
will present after the game a se¬
ries of stunts by Audre L. Stong’s
nationally-known 200-piece Bull¬
dog band,- to be followed by the
varsity grid encounter.
If all indications carry out, the
4400-seating capacity of the Hor¬
rell grandstand will be filled with
students of Pasadena junior col¬
lege, Muir Tech, and the five city
junior high schools. As in the past,
sections will be partitioned off for
the various schools.
Another attraction of the after¬
noon’s festivities will be the first
appearance of three junior college
yell leaders selected this week.
Several others who will appear are
contesting for the two remaining
cheer-leading positions.
Admission to the games will be
25 cents for all junior college stu¬
dents. Student body books, identi¬
fication cards, and passes of any
other nature will not be honored,
it was announced.. All profits of
the afternoon will go toward build¬
ing floats to be entered by the
school system in the Tournament
of Roses parade New Year’s day.
Classes were cut considerably to¬
day, to allow everyone to attend.
Fifth period starts at 12:10 and
ends at 12:40. Sixth period ends
at 1:10.
Because of the popularity of the
student body dances last year, a
matinee dance has been scheduled
for October 11.
The objective is purely a social
one. All students of Pasadena
junior college are invited to this
informal dance which will be given
in the women’s gymnasium.
Miss Catherine J. Robbins, dean
of women, together with Mary
Linek, chairman of social affairs,
head the committees.
Tickets may be secured at the
student body office for 10 cents.
“Hands off” policy was main¬
tained from last midnight and
continues to this afternoon in the
issuing of restrictive club bids.
Distribution of the bids comes as
a culmination to four weeks of
rushing activities.
All invitations will be issued
after school today from the office
of Miss Catherine J. Robbins, dean
of women and inter-restrictive club
council adviser. Students who are
to be the recipients are being noti¬
fied during the day by the message
room.
“Individuals may receive more
than one bid and can make their
choice later as to which club they
choose to enter as a member,” said
Miss Robbins.
If the bids were not in the dean
of women’s office by 8 o’clock this
morning, they will not be issued
until a later date. This is the first
year that this system of issuance
has been followed. Hitherto the
respective clubs have given out
their own bids.
Vegetables
* * * •
Are Good Objects
Shiny, purple eggplant; little
twisted, yellow peppers; long
Ьншру,
meditating squash; red
apples, and fat, dark grapes
spilling over pale, slim carrots.
This conglomeration of the
vegetable world arranged in fas¬
cinating groups leaning lazily
against round brass plates or
squat little jugs form the models
over which students ponder, and
from which students sketch prob¬
lems for their representation
classes.
And if you don’t believe mas¬
terpieces can come from sketch¬
ing a purple cabbage or a pudgy
pepper, just drop around to room
203-D some day. We’re still curi¬
ous as to what art teacher took
her market basket to market last
Monday morning and purchased
the colorful array.
1008 Pupils
Convene at
Class Meets
One thousand eight students
turned out to elect class officers
in the heated special electoral ses¬
sions held Friday morning.
Stanley Blush emerged as vice-
president to assist Bob Simpson,
representative, in conducting the
business of the senior class. Betty
Groves and Adrian Perry held the
posts of secretary and treasurer.
In the junior meeting David
Patrick beat Emerson Matter to a
close victory of 122-113. Betty
Lewis is the new junior secretary,
and Reed Quesnell, the treasurer.
Eleanor Northrup is serving as
junior representative.
Easy victories marked the ascent
of Martin Norman as vice-presi¬
dent, Marjorie Betts as secretary,
and Margaret Wold as treasurer,
in the sophomore class. Represent¬
ative is Foster Markolf.
Incoming frosh class was the
only one to elect a president this
semester — James Herbold. Dick
Lusk will aid him in the capacity
of vice-president. Only two votes
kept John Busik from tying Eloise
Jones, who won with 153 ballots,
for secretary. Hotly contested also
was the post of freshman treas¬
urer, which went to La Vonne
Garber. Bill Hatch lost, 147-133.

strumental music at University of
Illinois, where he heard instrumen¬
tal music classes and the university
and R.

T. C. band units.
The following two days were
spent in Chicago at the legion con¬

By Dale Carter
Frequent earthquake shocks felt throughout the South¬
land last Monday served as a jolting reminder to the city
school fathers, their thousands of student charges, and par¬
ents and voters, that the junior college auditorium and its
lesser equivalents in the city school system are still only in
the planning stages of safety remodeling.
; The Pasadena Board, of Educa¬
tion is still negotiating with rep-
i resentatives of the national govem-
I ment for the necessary aid that
' will discount 30 per cent from the
proposed bond issue; its technical
committee has not yet submitted a
report on the findings of the state
division of architecure; and no de-
elopments are expected to be forth¬
coming for at least a week.
Buildings in Disuse
In the meantime condemned
buildings, particularly the local
assembly hall, remain in disuse at
great inconvenience to students
and teachers. Where 2500 junior
collegians would have crowded the
auditorium to have heard the con¬
vocation message of the president
of the University of Southern Cali¬
fornia last Monday, only a paltry
few hundred were able to squeeze
into a nearby church to benefit by
the admitted value of the educa¬
tor’s words.

L. A. Schools Closed
Los Angeles schools were closed
all day Monday when it was feared
the early-morning quakes might
cause further damage. Many of
the more unstable buildings of
learning remained vacant through¬
out the week as inspections and re¬
pairs were made.
But Pasadena youth continued
studies beneath condemned walls
as the local board of education and
its association conferred over the
details of a school bond election
scheduled for late October, after
negotiations with the R. F. C. are
completed.

Senior Dance
Is Called Off
“We have a wonderful a capella
choir this year, new members fill
right in where our graduates fell
out— and prospects for the group
are simply splendid!” said Miss
Lula C. Parmley, chairman of the
music department and choir direc¬
tor, today.
“But we do need a few second
basses,” she continued. “You know,
the fellows who sing the lowest
parts. And if anyone’s interested,
just tell them to see me, will you?”
This musical group was origi¬
nated in Pasadena junior college
a few years ago and has shown
marvelous results in many per¬
formances. The a capella choir now
has about 72 members, who were
chosen from the candidates who
tried out.
Board Fills
More Places
Further appointments were the
result of the meeting of the board
of representatives on Wednesday
morning.
To assist Mary Linek in the ad¬
ministration of social affairs, a
committee composed of Bud Des-
enberg, Harrison Breyer, Keith
Cave, Margaret Mulvaney, and
Henriette Smith was selected.
Lloyd Barnett, Jack Creamer,
and Morgan West were named as
yell leaders, and Jean Schust re¬
ceived the appointment of busi¬

The senior class dance, sched¬
uled for next Friday night, was
suddenly called off late Wednes¬
day afternoon. Accompanying
the announcement was a state¬
ment by Bob Simpson that the
junior and senior classes will
combine to stage a gigantic
dance at the Civic auditorium,
Thanksgiving eve, November 29.
This arrangement will allow
every member of both classes to
attend, and makes possible the
engagement of a leading South¬
ern California orchestra, Simp¬
son said.
Bank Issues
Football Books
Students who have paid their
fees may obtain football books by
presenting their identification cards
to the cashier at the bank in room
216C.
Books contain tickets which en¬
title the holder to attend football
and basketball games, coupons for
performances presented by Bauble
and Bells and Players’ Guild. They
serve also as passes to baseball
games .and other student body ac¬
tivities.
To date more than sixty per cent
of the books have been handed out.
Students are urged to call for theirs
immediately.
Baseball minded students in¬
terested in the struggle of the
New York Giants and Washing¬
ton Senators for honors in the
World Series were given first¬
hand information on the classic
this week when the Chronicle
provided a score-board with in-
ning-by inning score in the lobby
of the Chronicle office.
Each morning at 10:15, as
Ted Husing or Graham McNa-
mee went on the air, the board,
prepared by Mary Linek, was
placed where all passers-by could
see it, and gave scores as relayed
by the radio play-by-play.
Thanks for the radio go to Har¬
ry Sheldon, Chronicle staff mem¬
ber.
Should the series continue next
week, the service will again be
provided.
