Third War Loan Drive
Reported Smashing Success
As Total Tops $35,000
The War Council’s Bond Drive, held from September 27
to October 4, was reported a smashing success as the Chron¬
icle went to press the total was passing the $35,000 mark and
the full amount head not yet come in from the faculty. The
drive, sponsored by the War Council under Ruth Champlain,
was part of the National Third War Loan Drive. Bond sales
were carried out with the help of the English classes under
Students Stay Away
From Election Polls;
Vote Count Low
Despite the hopes of Betty Lou Joslyn, PJC’s competent election
commissioner, that this first election of the school year would have
a huge turnout since the student body is more aware than ever be¬
fore of their duties as American citizens, only 2.6% of the total eli¬
gible voters were able to find time to make a short stay at the polls.
Of that number over 50% represented the freshman vote, who once
again put to shame their upperclass brothers and sisters.
Final counts showed, in the Senior Class, the election by a
majority of Susan Gough as vice-president. Other senior class
officers elected are Emmy Lou Butikoffer, secretary; Emmy Wie-
ler, treasurer, and AWS Representative, Britta Sundburg.
For the Junior Class: Vice-president, Bob Boeke; treasurer,
Marilyn Logsden; secretary, Jean Laurenson; AWS representative,
Pat Marcy.
Sophomore Class: Vice-president, run off between Gleen
Brewer and Dick Chute. Secretary, Betzi Lou Smith; treasurer,
Jackie Curren; and AWS representative, Naomi Riorden.
Freshman Class: President, Tom Iiams. Run offs will be: vice-
president, Betty C. Ball and Patty Ludgate; secretary, Joan Weigland
and Nancy Young; treasurer, Jeannie B. Henrichsen and
Мл
rip
Wales; and AWS representative, Lucille Holmes and Rowena Baker.
For the final election on Friday, October 8th, there will be
three voting polls on the campus. They will be situated in front
of the south entrance of “E” Building, in front of “C” Building
and near the Student Union.
Mr. Hill’s direction. Freshmen
girls from the English classes
served as roving ““treasurettes,”
sold war stamps in the class¬
rooms.
During this drive new effi¬
ciency was added by the help of
AWS ladies at the Student Bank
who typed out and sold the
bonds. During past drives it was
necessary to have bonds made
out down town and then mailed
to purchasers, but with this new
arrangement AWS volunteers
RUTH CHAMPLAIN
. . . victorious stamp collector
made out the bonds at the time
of purchase making the entire
transaction speedier and more
convenient for the purchasers.
The total of $35,000 was part
of the total for all the Pasadena
City Schools of over $50,000. One
JC student bought twelve $100
bonds. Many large bonds were
also bought by members of the
faculty.
Lancers Serve
School; Enforce
Law And Order
Highest all-man honor service
organization on the PJC campus
is the group known as Lancers.
Identified by their black sweat¬
ers with black and white em¬
blems, they operate on the same
theme as the Spartans, who are
their women colleagues. The
law-enforcers of the campus,
their duties stretch far beyond
that of mere policing. In recent
years they have been called up¬
on to help at Pal Day exercises,
act as walking information bur¬
eaus on registration day, aid the
elections commission with the
conduct of a fair and impartial
election, and many other tasks
necessary to the smooth running
of the huge PJC student govern¬
ment.
One of the oldest organiza¬
tions on the campus, there are
many traditions to the Lancer
code such as the dinners held
with the Spartans as well as
a stag assembly each semester.
Likewise in keeping with their
customs is the fact that they
only wear their distinctive
sweaters on Fridays or other
specially designated days.
Present officers are Loren
Barre, president; Hilly Stong,
vice-president; Bill Sanborn, sec¬
retary-treasurer; and Dean Audio
Stong, adviser.
Ticket Sellers
Needed By
Argonauts
This year the Argonaut Serv¬
ice Club is again looking for new
members. Purpose of the club is
the sale and collection of tickets
and other forms of admissions
to the various functions of Pasa¬
dena Junior College and its rela¬
tive activities.
Argonaut’s services are offered
voluntarily to all such groups,
but it does not seek to impose
itself on anyone. It seeks to
train young men in the problems
related to such activities and to
teach by practical application,
the need for accountability in the
handling of money; of reliability
in making and meeting appoint¬
ments and obligations; and of
courtesy and politeness in meet¬
ing the public.
Annual functions at which the
Argonauts serve include foot¬
ball games, registration, bas¬
ketball games, boxing matches,
distribution of “Campus,” and
various school and club dances.
Prospective members serve a
probationary period of four
weeks and are then taken in
as associate members. Mem¬
bership in this club offers op¬
portunity to serve the school
in an interesting way. Service
points are given for all time
served. All men interested in
joining should obtain applica¬
tions from any member or
from the school bank. Frosh
men are especially invited to
join.
The Argonaut office is in the
room vacated by the bank. Pres¬
ent officers are Michael Down¬
ing, president; William Kind-
rick, vice-president; and Oliver
Popenoe, secretary - treasurer.
Any department or organization
wishing Argonaut services should
obtain request blanks from the
Argonaut office.
Junior Students
Get Acquainted;
Morning Feed
A “get acquainted” breakfast
for the new Junior women and
men, and other transfer students,
is being planned for 8:00 a. m.
Tuesday morning, October 14.
The breakfast will be a “free
feed,” sponsored by the student
body and under the able super¬
vision of the Dean of Men and
Dean of Women, Richard Peter¬
son, adviser of the Junior class,
Barbara Wickham, representative
transfer student, and Miss Ina
Sample.
Because a number of the
eligible students have an 8:00
o’clock class, an afternoon
activity is being planned. Stu¬
dents without classes in the
morning are invited to attend
the breakfast while others are
urged to be present at the aft¬
ernoon function.
Tickets will be available in the
respective offices of the Dean of
Men and Dean of Women, and
will be necessary for admission.

attendance at two games on Hor-
rell Field. At 12:45 the Bullpup
A team will play Loyola High

game will be followed in the
evening by a dance at the wom¬
en’s gym accompanied by Dale
Cross and his orchestra, which
is presently appearing at the
Rendezvous Room of the Bilt-
more Hotel. This was the popular
orchestra which caused a sensa¬
tion when it appeared at an as¬
sembly here recently.
Each class will choose two
candidates for Queen at its
class assemblies today. The
final list of candidates will go
to the combined football teams,
which will choose one Princess

cesses will be presented dur¬
ing the half-time at the games

tereiner, and Allen Clark went
into a huddle and came out with
plans for the big class assem¬
blies today and a gala football

semblies each class will meet
separately, get to know their

utes of entertainment will visit

The entire day, designated Red
and White Day, is expected to
see unparalleled pep as JC stu¬
dents turn out en masse in red
and white clothing.

Groups Meet During
Assemblies; Learn
Plans For Semester
Todays assembly is to be divided into four separate meet¬
ings. In the past the classes have not been in very close con¬
tact with each other. It is the hope of the student body that
todays program will , bring about closer -relationship within
the classes. In anticipation of “RED and WHITE” day,
Charlie Greenstreet, pep commissioner, will take the new
song and cheer leaders to the different meetings where he’ll

Skariatina
To Speak On
Russian War
Irina Skariatina, famous wom¬
an correspondent for “Collier’s”
who has recently returned from
the Russian front, will speak
here on “Russian Battleground,”
Tuesday, October 12, from 8:00
until 10:00 p. m. in Sexson Au¬
ditorium.
This war journey, just com¬
pleted by Mme. Skariatina,
is her fifth trip back to her
native land since she left fol¬
lowing the Russian Revolution.
She is the only member of the
Russian nobility who has been
able to revisit Russia and to
be permitted by the Soviets
to move about freely there.
Though she is a direct des¬
cendant of Rurik, first prince of
Russia who reigned in the Ninth
Century, and is a member of
several of Russia’s most famous
noble families and could use the
title of Princess and of Countess
(she was formerly known here
as the Countess Irina Wladimi-
rovina Keller), she prefers to be
known simply as Irina Skariatina
(pronounced Skar-yah-teena). In
private life she is the wife of Lt.
Commander Victor F. Blakeslee
of the U. S. Navy.
As a young woman, Irina
Skariatina was Maid of Honor

through the assembly plan ac¬
cording to the pep commissioner.
