Kickoff at Three O’clock on
Burbank Grid
MUCH PEP SHOWN
Lots of Enthusiasm Evidenced
at Rally Last Monday
School spirit seems to be running
rampant at John Muir Junior High
School this year. Within the past
week three assemblies have been held.
Owing to the lack of seating space
in th auditorium only half of the stu¬
dents can be accommodated at one
time.
A “pep” assembly was held on
September 30 for the ninth grade in
which the school songs were sung
and yells practiced.
Football Prospects Good
In a short talk the Coach told of
the football practice and urged every¬
one to back the team. The prospects
for a successful football season are
unusually good, he stated. The mem¬
bers of the squad are fairly heavy and
have been working hard in prepara¬
tion for the first game with Burbank.
On November 10, a game is sched¬
uled between the Long Beach light¬
weights and the Muir varsity. A de¬
feat for the Salt-Eaters is forthcom¬
ing, says Muirites.
Play P. H. S. Lightweights
A game with the. P. H. S. Light¬
weights has been promised, but the
date has not been definitely decided.
A similar assembly was the one held
by the seventh and eighth grades last
Monday.
Yell Leaders Chosen
De Wayne Winter and Floyd
Thorpe have been appointed as yell
leaders. All yell rallies are now under
their supervision. Monday noon a
rally was held in front of the. main
building- under the leadership of the
new yell leaders.
Nominations for Commission
The nominations for office, of the
Commission were made at a class
meeting of the ninth grade. The can¬
didates are: for Publicity; Natalie
Vincenti, Floyd Thorpe; for General
Welfare; Hazel Kay, Gordon Snyder;
for Finance; Charles Kelley, Wallace
Dilley; for Athletics; Willis Downs,
Alfred Heartt; for Debating; Bonnye
Deal, James Allen The candidates
are all well suit.ed for office.
The plans of the Debating Society
have not yet been announced, but the
club soon expects to have its activi¬
ties well under way.
LAUNDRY DOES
GOOD BUSINESS
Pasadena High School has a thriv¬
ing business in its midst. The laun¬
dry over the boiler room does a great
deal of work for the. students. The
last week statistics show that 3829
towels were washed, the largest
amount this year. The girl’s used
1851, the boys 1756, the football team
222, the cafeteria 124 dish towels and
seven aprons. The Thomas Jefferson
school patronizes the laundry. They
had 12 roller towels, IS face towels,
S flour sacks, 2 large and 2 small
sacks and S rags washed for the sum
of $1.45. If the laundry supplies
more schools they will have to get
another man. John Muir, Junior
High, also gives it a small amount of
business.
AGRICULTURE HEAD,
SECRETAR YFARM
Dr. D. S. Fox, head of the Agricul¬
ture Department, was elected Secre¬
tary of the Los Angeles Farm Bu¬
reau at the annual meeing which was
held at Pomona this year. Former
Secretary W. S. Rosencres was elect¬
ed to the office of President of the
organization. Last Thursday Dr.

NEAR EAST RELIEF
RECEIVER til
THRU ENG. DEPT
The English Department last year
volunteered to receive contributions
for the sufferers of the Near East. A
speaker was recivd forth mfdl taoin
speaker was secured who presented
the needs of the Armenians in so
forceful a manner that the classes in
English voluntarily subscribed more
than $1000. At the close of school in
June they had overpaid their sub¬
scription to the extent of $7700, all
of which had been sent through the
P. H. S. bank to the Near East.
With the opening of school in Sep¬
tember this year, classes that had not
completed their pledges voluntarily-
resumed payment. On Wednesday,
Miss Holloway sent an additional
$100 to the cause, which makes a total
of $1800 for the school to date.
Most of the causes we hear pre¬
sented are those which directly or in¬
directly benefit us. P. H. S. is to be
congratulated for having so success¬
fully “put ovter” one cause for which
we ask nothing in return and in which
we are glad to have a part.

у
the Boy Scouts of the First
Methodist church and their Scout
Master, Mr. W. F. Creller, who have
t-tcured Keaumoker A. Louis, fa¬
mous concert baritone, and the Ha¬
waiian Serenaders, from Kameha-
meha College of Honolulu for a most
beautiful program of real Hawaiian

SEVENTH PERIOD FOR
PLAY
The seventh period from 3:15 to
4:45 will be a supervised Play Period
under Mr. McCauley, director of the
Physical Education department fur¬
nishes all equipment from the supply
room. The period will carry on
novice handball and tennis tourna¬
ments, swimming meets and water
polo. This period of an hour and a
half is devoted entirely to these meets
and tournaments.
JUNIORS LEARNING
COMPOSITION
If you are taking Junior English
you cannot get by without learning
something. English teachers are
making use of Woolley’s “Handbook
of Composition” as a text-book in¬
stead of merely a reference, in the
Junior year.
What you have not learned about
rhetoric as a Sophomore, you will
now have forced on you as a Junior.
Such is life!
SPECIAL WORK BY
SEWING CLASSES
Making over old garments into
new ones for charity purposes is one
of the projects of the sewing classes
this year. The finished product is
given to various charitable organiza¬
tions or needy families in the city.
Many articles of the above nature
have been made already this year.
Mr. Ewing has asked the girls to
co-operate with him in estimating the
cost for a girl to keep herself clothed
while going through high school.
Each girl is to keep an individual ac¬
count of her expenses as closely as
possible through her course of four
years in high school. Many of the
girls find this new plan very interest¬
ing .
PARENTS NEXT
Don’t Forget! Oct. 19.
Parents of P. H. S. students will
“come to school” again next Tuesday
evening and will follow their child¬
ren’s daily program.
On their arrival they will receive
their children’s programs in the main
hall and will go to the assembly
which starts promptly at 7:45 p. m.
At the close of assembly parents
all follow the. routine of classes as
designated on their individual pro¬
gram. In this way they will become
better acquainted with the teacher
and the work that is required of the
student. Periods will be ten minutes
long.
A most cordial invitation is ex¬
tended to all who are interested.
BAND HERALDS
NOON PERIOD
The approach of the noon period is
made, known on the east side of the
building by the passing of the Boys’
Band, playing full swell. The vigor
with which the boys play at this_par-
ticular time may or may not be in¬
tentional.
Here’s The Date! Oct. 19
Over T wo Hundred
Students Are In
Honor Society
NEW HONOR STUDENTS ELIGIBLE TO WEAR SILVER PINS
Starting the year with two hundred and forty-one members the Honor
Society of Pasadena High School has a good percentage of the students of
the school in its membership. There are one hundred and twenty students
who will keep their silver pins which they received last year. Ninety-five
new students were given their pins in the assembly this morning. Seven girls
who have gold “P’s” will keep them
this semester.
Last year, when the Honor Society
was first formed in P. H. S., only one
boy, Donald Graham was eligible for
a gold pin. This year eight boys re¬
ceived them. Eleven girls won gold
pins last semester.
Therfe are almost as many boys as
girls this year who have made the re¬
quirements for membership in the
society. Last year a very few boys
could claim to be members.

P+ H* S.-L A* TO
DEBATE SOON
Debating will start at P. H. S. a
short time before Thanksgiving with
the first debate of the season against
Los Angeles High The. subect of the
debate has not yet been decided, but
at a meeting of th debating squad
Monday, suggestions were made -and
action taken towards the coming de¬
bate.
Helen Jackson, Commissioner of
Debate, and John Scott, coach of de¬
bating, attended the. meeting of the
Southern California Debating Lea¬
gue which was held in the old L. A.
High building last Saturday morning.
At this meeting it was decided that
the triangular form of debate should
be done away with and the old system
of awarding points be used. Lots
were drawn to determine the. first
contestants. In this way the Pasa¬
dena representatives drew L. A. High
as their first opponent.
Officers of the League were also
elected. Alhambra is president, and
Long Beach secretary.
“GET TOGETHER” OF
LEAGUE GIRLS
The second of several “get to-,
gethers” given by the. Girls’ League
to help Freshmen meet their Senior
sisters, is to be one big surprise. The
party which will be given Wednesday
is dated for 3:30 sharp. The program
will be in the Tennis Courts. All
Seniors are expected to meet their
Freshman or Sophomore Sisters and
bring them to the Music Hall. They
will go from here to the tennis court.
Esther Welch is general chairman.
The refreshment committee, headed
by Pauline Graham, consists of Ruth
Delaplain, Charlotte Jocelyn, Gale
Hockney, Laura Crutchfield, Marjory
Zischank, Florence Reynolds, Ethel
Charleson, Fern Eits, Emilie Brad¬
ford. Verne Brown, Elsie Sutton, and
Helen Sherman. Half of this com¬
mittee prepares the refreshments and
the other half serves.
The decoration committee: Edith
Louise . Frazee, chairman, Mildred
Chang, Agnes Mclnturff, Margaret
Strehle, Margaret McNess, and Eliza¬
beth Bodie.
RACE TO CAFETERIA
BY TEACHERS IS
EXCITING
Since the number of the faculty
members has increased greatly, the
cafeteria line is much longer than
formerly so that hungry teachers are
obliged to use the lower corridor as
race tracks at the beginning of the
noon period. This privilege was form¬
erly that of the students only, but
now the faculty is enjoying it also.
W00DSH0P FILLED
FOR NIGHT WORK
RESULTS OF THE FINAL
ELECTION
SMALL VOTE CAST; ALL WERE
URGED TO VOTE
The. woodshop seems to be a draw¬
ing card for the night school students.
As the canacity of the classes is limit¬
ed, there are a number of persons who
cannot be accommodated. New tools
have had to be purchased for the use
of the students. Several of the day
school pupils have been making teffi-
porary lockers for the accommodation
of the night school students.
