Pageant Will Be Dedication Highlight
Parade Plans
Supervised
ByMcAuley
Floats Being Built
By Many Jaysee
Organizations
Elaborate preparations are un¬
der way to make the "History of
Calfornia" pageant, slated for next
Friday night in the Rose Bowl an
event unsurpassed by any of simi¬
lar nature in the history of the
school, according to Leland C.
McAuley, manager of the affair.
This pageant, a fitting climax to
Dedication Week, is to take the
form of a parade during the foot¬
ball game with San Francisco jun¬
ior college, with floats entered by
many PJC' clubs. The Tournament
of Roses committee, headed by the
chief of staff, Captain J. W. McCall,
has been invited to assist in the
judging, as they did last year for
the pageant depicting the history
of the Pasadena city schools. Cap¬
tain McCall has sent word that he
will be glad to assist.
The rest of the judging commit¬
tee, to be chosen from leading Pas¬
adena citizens has not been selected
as yet. Two prizes will be awarded,
one for the most novel float and
one for the best handled float.
San Franciscans Expected
In order to promote interest and
arouse school spirit, the publicity
department of Pasadena junior col¬
lege is writing a pep letter to “The
Guardsman,’ San Francisco Jaysee
newspaper. This letter is expected
to result in a large crowd of fans
to witness the game and the pag¬
eant in the San Francisco rooting
section. _ _
Although no word has been re¬
ceived as yet in response to a leb
ter inviting them to participate in
the parade, San Francisco is ex¬
pected to collaborate with Zama
club on their float entitled “The
Golden Gate Bridge.”
“This pageant will not only rep¬
resent a cross-section of Pasadena
Jaysee life,” said McAuley, “but
also of the many other departments
of the Crown City. Every student
in the school is supposedly en¬
rolled in either a restrictive or a
non-restrictive club, thus each stu-

October 16 Date For
Associated Men
Students’ Stag
Contrary to the announcement
in the student handbook, the tradi¬
tional Associated Men Students’
stag will be held Wednesday, Oc¬
tober 16.
Originally slated for October 8,
the date was changed by the AMS
board in order to give the stag
during dedication week.
“We have a fine show planned,”
said Dick Bagnard, newly-elected
AMS head, “including a colored
swing band and exhibitions of
trucking. Bob McNeish will bring
several of University of Southern
California’s football players with
him to the stag.”
The stags are bi-semesterly get-
togethers in the Men’s gym for
all men students. There is no
charge for any AMS member.
This stag is to be different from
those held in, the past as there
are to be more novelty numbers for
entertainment.
SELECTS MEMBERS
Selecting prospective members
for Triple S, reading club of Pasa¬
dena junior college, was the chief
business of their first meeting of
the semester held Thursday, Sep¬
tember 30.
Freshman; Soph Councils Are Chosen
By Presidents As Classes Convene
For Pep Meeting; Auditorium Talk
Junior And Senior Classes Delay In Choosing
Of Groups To Carry Out Semester's Activities;
Reverend Cummins Addresses Assemblage
Junior and senior classes assembled for a joint meeting in the
auditorium, Friday, October 1 , at which time Rev. Robert S. Cummins,
pastor of the Throop Memorial Universalist church of Pasadena,
spoke on the "Pursuit of Happiness."
Happiness, he told the students, is an attitude rather than a pos¬
session. He said that while modem
CIVIC LEADER
education provided needed training
for tomorrow’s citizens, each per¬
son would find spiritual counsel
necessary before the training would
be effective.
Preceding the address, a pep
rally, led by yell leaders Vernon
Leif, Owen Sloan, and Stuart Rus¬
sell, was staged.
Sophomore and freshman
classes, also meeting jointly during
club period on Friday, heard a talk
given by Tom Mallory, new coach
here, in which he stressed the fact
that school spirit is necessary to
put a football team across. Coach
Mallory complimented Pasadena
junior college on its abundance of
this factor.
Bob Braden, sophomore presi¬
dent, and Bill Reeder, freshman
president, introduced their respec¬
tive class officers. After the talk
and introductions, a pep rally was
held with Vernon Leif, Owen Sloan,
Stuart Russell, Virginia Phillips,
Virginia Wagner, Helen Parker,
and Helen Vaughn leading the ac¬
tivities.
Councils of the freshman and
sophomore classes have been chos¬
en, to plan and carry out this
year’s class activities, with the
usual purposes of class government
in mind,
— President Bill Reeder of the
freshman class, which has a coun¬
cil somewhat larger than that of
the sophomore class, gives his rea¬
son for this attitude by saying,
“The large council of the Frosh
class can easily be explained by the
need of such for first year students,
who can, by this means, become
better acquainted with the school
in general. The privilege of serv¬
ing as a council member is given
to a large enough number of stu¬
dents so that in the following years
the councils of each class can be
made up of better qualified stu¬
dents with helpful previous experi¬
ence to their credit.”
The Freshman council, besides
class officers, is composed of: Jeri
Cutler, Shirley Jacobs, Jane Al¬
bright, Patty Frayne, Shirley
Welsh, Dollie Rees, Barbara Gra¬
ham, Mary Watt, Nancy Pier,
Phyllis Nash, Jean MacKay, Mar¬
garet Williams, Luada Ferris, Mary
Webster, Coralee Bur son, Ann
Shannon, Twila Jack, Phoebe Kep¬
ler, Margaret Arnold, Suester
Douglass, Richard Peel, Bill Mes-
sick, Bill Allen, Red Robinson, John
Packard, Harry Walker, Frank
Towner, Bill Creamer, Forrest
Johnson, and Bill Francis.

The list of newly-elected mem¬
bers will be released in the near
future, accompanied by an explan¬

Jr. Chamber Head
Bares Civic Men’s
Interest In PJ.C.
By Leon Kingsley, President
Pasadena Junior Chamber of
Commerce
After inspecting the campus and
the buildings of the new junior
college I cannot help but feel that
this community is indeed fortunate
in having school administrators
who have provided Pasadena with
such an outstanding educational in¬
stitution
Beautiful and efficient as the new
buildings are, I agree with Super¬
intendent John A. Sexson that the
lack of a student building is a dis¬
tinct handicap to both the admin¬
istrators and the students in main¬
taining a well-rounded college cam¬
pus.
Mr. Sexson sounded a note that
should not be allowed to drop — to
wit, the encouraging of persons of
wealth to endow the college with
sufficient funds to erect a new
student building and other build¬
ings needed. There are in Pasa¬
dena many individuals financially
able to make such civic donations
and I am sure that the Junior
Chamber of Commerce will do ev¬
erything possible to keep this
thought before the public until
eventually results will be obtained.
Due to the recent economic de¬
pression thousands of individuals
found it to their advantage to ob¬
tain practical knowledge that would
aid them in a gainful occupatin.
For this reason and others more
persons are now taking advantage
of educational opportunities than
ever before.
Pasadena school officials have
been far-sighted indeed in plan¬
ning the “Extended Day” program
at the Junior College which will
enable thousands of young persons
to obtain further education whc
would otherwise have been denied
this opportunity.
I believe Pasadena is leading the
way in the field of education and
not only will this community be
pointed to as an example of leader¬
ship but the “Extended Day” pro¬
gram will be adopted elsewhere
We may well feel fortunate tha!
this program is available here now.
The Junior Chamber of Com¬
merce is vitally interested in the
Junior College and all of its activi
ties and stands ready at all times
to assist where possible. This or¬
ganization, composed entirely of
young men, is also ready to help
young men upon their graduation
from the college.
That period between graduation
and finding a permanent position
in this hectic world often is a dif¬
ficult one for the young man. The
Junior Chamber offers itself as a
means of contact to young men to
assist them in gaining permanent
placement.
FIRST PAL DANCE
LAST MONDAY
The first “Pal” dance of the fal'
semester was held Monday, Octobe.
4, at 3:30 p. m.
Jeanette Eastman, secretary of
social affairs, welcomed the new stu¬
dents, and mentioned many of the
activities of the junior college. Foi
those who cared to dance, mush
was provided by the best recorded
dance bands, including the newes1
hit tunes.
The dance was informal and
though expressly for the purpose
of reacquainting “pals” and the
students that they “pal’d” the firs'
day of school, all students were in¬
vited, and there was a good turn
out.
The dance wais free and it is
hoped that it will become a tradi¬
tional and important social affair.
