CONFERENCE AT BERKELEY That principals and heads of universities are not only willing but glad to discuss their prob¬ lems with each other, is one of the things that Mr. Ewing found out while attending the junior col¬ lege conference at Berkeley which was held last week-end. While there, Mr. Ewing gave a talk on the “Non-Recommended High School Student.” Altogether, it rained during the conference, and was raw and cold, yet Mr. Ewing says that he had a delightful time. Since he previously lived in Berkeley it was just like returning home to meet so many old friends. Those present at the conference were entertained at lunch several times by the University club. Mr. Ewing left for Berkeley on Thursday evening and returned to Pasadena Monday night. PARTY FOR NEW GIRLS In order that the new sophomore girls might meet their senior sisters, and also might become ac¬ quainted with Miss Nellie Greene Clarke, dean of girls, as well as with Mr. Ewing, principal, and the officers of the girls’ league, a meet¬ ing of all senior girls, and their sophomore sisters was held Friday morning, Sept. 10. Gloria Gartz, vice president of the girls league, was in charge. Miss Clarke spoke first, welcom¬ ing all those coming to high school for the first time. An explanation of the girls’ lockers was made by Margaret Jewel, secretary of the league.

He extoled the op¬ portunity of youth for service in the future. Excellent Material in the Glee Clubs Gives Promise of Splem did Concerts Later The enrolement in the music department of P. H. S. surpasses that of any previous semester, and the outlook for the year is very bright. The girls’ glee club, because of its large number, has to be divided, and the boys’ glee club is twice as large as it has ever been any previous first semester. The junior college women’s glee club has doubled its number, while it is expected that the men’s glee club will equal the women’s club in numbers before the end of the semester. The P. H. S. girls’ glee club is preparing to give a program in October for one of the women’s clubs. In October, the music department will sponsor an attractive assembly program given by a well-known Los Angeles artist. In order that the program may be complimentary for the faculty and student body, the music department has arranged to take care of the financial end of the program. In November, the glee clubs will make their first appearance before the student body. The spring attraction, offered by the music department, will be the annual light opera. According to Miss Lulu C. Parmley, head of the department, this year’s opera will equal if not surpass “The Marriage of Nannette.” PIANO NOW OFFERED AS A SOLID This, year for the first time piano classes are being offered as a solid. The advanced class meets fourth period, the intermediate class fifth period, and the begining class sixth period. All three classes meet every day of the week. Great interest has been mani¬ fested in the new clases, but ac¬ cording to Mrs. Amy Grau Miller, I the instructor, there is still room for more students in each of the classes. Technical High Opens Impressively Introducing the teachers, de¬ partment heads, and chairmen of the standing committees, Rufus Mead, principal of the John Muir Technical high school, opened the first regular assembly of that school Friday, Sept. 17. Mr. Mead appointed a com¬ mittee of fifteen boys and girls to formulate plans for student body organizations. A feature of the assembly was the presenting of a lovely basket of flowers with th compli- mnts of Pasadena high school. It is excepted that a friendly spirt of rivalry will soon exist be¬ tween the two high schools as the Technical high is organizing a football team under the direc¬ tion of Eward J. Laurenson, for¬ merly of P. H. S. and P. J. C. Ground is being broken for a new swimming pool, and other signs of athletic activity are in evidence. From a late report, the en¬ rollment totals more than 400 and registrations are still being made. Routine of First Meeting Dis¬ patched with Vim and Plans for Year Put under Way. Meeting for the first time this year, the girls’ league assembled in the auditorium last Friday. After a talk by Miss Nellie Greene Clarke, dean of girls, school songs, led by the girls’ glee club, and a few yells led by Frank Graham, one of last year’s yell leaders, the main business of the meeting was transacted. After an explanation by the officers of the league of the duties of their departments under them, the girls each chose one of the four groups under which they will serve for the coming year. The girls were well divided under Elizabeth McCullough, president who has charge of the program department; Gloria Gartz, vice- president, head of the social ser- vicec department; Margaret Jew¬ el, secretary, head of the hospit¬ ality department; and Juanita Wright, treasurer, who is in charge of the civic service depart¬ ment. In each of these four depart¬ ments, a sophomore, a junior and an athletic representative was chosen to serve on the girls’ league cabinet. The following girls were elected to serve on the program committee : Elizabeth McCullough, chairman; Dorothy Orr, junior representative, and Elizabeth Hassler, sophomore representative. On the social service committee, Gloria Gartz is chairman; Eliza- ! beth Grawell, junior representa¬ tive; Jeanette Winters, sophomore representative; and Dorothea Capps, athletic representative.

Milholin and Dave Ashton, captain of the varsity foot-ball team, were fea¬ tures of the boys’ league meeting held last Friday in the auditorium. The former spoke on the spirit and snap necessary to form a championship team, and the latter pledged the team to do its level best on the field. Songs were led by Miss Petcina, member of the music department, and yells were conducted by “Shar¬ key” Graham. Mike Reynolds, commissioner of boys’ welfare, was in charge of the assembly. B. and B.

When the Pasadena varsity meets Manual Arts on Hor- rell field tomorrow, a rivalry dating back to the days when P. H. S. was a member of the city league will be renewed. If the bulldogs leave the fray victorious tomorrow, the students may well be assured that the prospects for the coast league championship will be brightened. This game is but one of the many features of the field day program to be held October 8, at 1:80 p. m. In order to give all the students a chance to attend R. О. T. C. PLANS NEW UNIT FOR JUNIOR COLLEGE Due to the rate of entries in- ! to the Pasadena unit of the R. O. T. C., the present number of 136 is excepted to soar upward to j the 150 mark. The numbers of the organ¬ ization are this year, not only wearing a blouse with a turned down collar , but are also al¬ lowed to wear an olive drab cot¬ ton shirt in place of the former woolen one. Also, if they wish, a white shirt may be worn with the blouse. Plains are now being made to have a junior college platoon, to consist of J. C. men, with their own officers and non- com¬ missioned officers, next semester. They will met three times a week, and this will take the place of regular physical educa¬ tion. TRIPLE “S” HOLDS MEETING the exercises, all schools in Pasa¬ dena will close at 1:00 o’clock, and P. H. S. will let out at the end of the second advisory. The purpose of play day is to raise money for the Commence¬ ment exercises, the school float in the Tournament of Roses pa¬ rade, and other school activities throughout the year. This is the third annual en¬ tertainment of this sort in the history of Pasadena high. Other features of the program will be a push ball contest be¬ tween the new John Muir high school and the tenth grade of P. H. S. This is the first time these two schools have ever met in any kind of competition. There will also be a like con¬ test between the junior college frosh and sophomores. The J. C. girls will also contribute to the program in the form of a tug of war between the freshmen and the sophomores. Music during the program will be furnished by the school band, under the direction of H. H. Par¬ ker. Members of the Triple “S” literary society met last week in order to reorganize the club and to elect officers for the coming semester. The officers elected are: Orrin Earl, president; Eliza¬ beth Brown, vice-president; Lorna Macdonnell, secretary; Morrie Smith, treasurer. Miss E. Wolf was chosen adviser for the com¬ ing year. Elizabeth Brown invited the club to have its first evening- meeting at her home, 570 N. Lake j avenue on Friday evening Oct- 1 ober 15. Alumni members of the Triple ; S are welcome to the, evening meetings providing they will sign up on the regular sheet in room 129c, according ot Miss Wolfe. At the first meeting it was de¬ cided to have a permanent re¬ freshment chairman, rather than a new one for every meeting. Helen Bett was chosen for this work. Under the direction of Eliza¬ beth Brown, vice-presidentt, plans for the evening meeting will be arranged. Several candidates for the club who were elected at the end of last year will be initiated at that time. Any juniors wishing to apply for membership in the club should see Miss Wolf in room 129-c. LIBRARY SCHOOLS FULL That the accredited liberty schools for the year 1926-1927 will be filled to capacity and applicants turned away is the conclusion drawn from answers to a recent inquiry made by the American the same situation existed last year, so that it would seem advis¬ able for prospective library stu- . dents to send applications for ad¬ mission to the school of their choice by June of the year they wish to enter. The Library School of closes registration by July first. | The mid-August opening of the University of California’s fall term makes early application nec¬ essary. The new School of Lib¬ rary Service at Columbia notes that it can accept a few experien- Library School at Atlanta reports room only in case of withdrawal of those already admitted and then only for those on their present waiting list. Carnegie Library School, Pittsburg, can accept for the second semester a limited number of students interested in Children’s'Work provided that they have had previous library school work. GREATER SPIRIT SHOWN INTERNATIONAL BUREAU An international bureau of ed¬ ucation has been established at Geneva, Switzerland, in connection with the J. J. Rousseau Institute, a college for the study of educa¬ tional science, which was founded in 1912. The activities of the bureau in¬ clude the supplying of information concerning public and private ed¬ ucation, the conduct of scientific research, and coordination of the efforts of institutions or societies along educational lines. The main purpose of the bureau is to promote international cooperation in the field of education by the formation of a center for the study of edu¬ cation. Greater school spirit than has been displayed for years has been shown at Pasadena high school during the first few days of at- endance. The student body is re¬ sponding to all calls for aid in various activities in a number that has seldom before been equaled. Clifford Matlock, commissioner of finance, reports that more than 1100 student body memberships were sold during- the first three days. A canvass of advisory class¬ es has been made, and sales have been going on around the campus, with the result that half the stud¬ ent-body has bought membership cards, which admits the purchaser to all athletic contests and gives him a subscription to the high school publications.
