Tell Your Parents, VOTE Nov. 4, VOTE as you please, But VOTE. Have you your Student Body Card? VOL. XVI PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, OCTOBER 9, 1924 No. 3 ENROLLMENT AT J. G. IS CLOSED Only Transfers from Other Colleges will be Accepted; Classes on College Basis 240 ARE IN ATTENDANCE Classes giving College Credit Offered in Night School; Fifteen must Sign Up According to Dean Harbeson, no more students will be enroled 'in the Junior College this semester unless they are transfers from other colleges. All classes are now strictly on a college basis, the work in many cases being superior to that generally acceptable in other higher institutions. Students in actual attendance now total about 240. This makes P. J. C. the largest in Southern California according to- latest re¬ ports. At this rate of increase it will probably be not. over three years until the Freshmen and Sophomore classes are dropped and the plant will take on the form of a four year institution embodying the last two years of high school and the first two years of college. Night School Classes It is announced that night school in college subjects will be open to those having 16 recommended cred¬ its. Courses in the regular lower division subjects including Lan¬ guage, English, Mathematics, Sci¬ ence, Philosophy, and History, will be offered whenever 15 or more sign up for a class. This work will apply on a regu¬ lar college degree and it is expected that many will avail themselves of this opportunity. The date of the opening classes will be announced later. 5000 NEW TOWELS TO BE BOUGHT FOR SCHOOL With a long year ahead and only leavings of last year’s towels to go on, it would seem that the Physi¬ cal Education Department would be up against it. But not so, the School Board is now letting bids for 5000 new towels to be bought from the lowest bidder. The towels will be of the best quality and in order to keep them from being misused a deposit of fifty cents is to be made on each one, to be returned at the end of the semes¬ ter, if the towel is returned in good condition. The students will still have the laundry service and when¬ ever a towel gets dirty, a clean one will be given in exchange. In the past a large number of towels hgve been stolen and some have been so badly torn as to render them use¬ less. But in the future, if a de¬ posit is made on the towels, it is believed that the students will con¬ sider taking better care of them. " Press Convention November 21 According to word received by the staffs of the Pasadena High School publications, from the Ana¬ heim High School paper, The Ano- ranco, the next press convention will be held at Anaheim on Friday, November 21. Each high school in th Southrn California H. S. Press Association is to send two repre¬ sentatives to be listed as voting members and as many other journ¬ alism students as may see fit to come. The annual membership fee is $1.50 for the two voting mem¬ bers. Board Established As a result of the uniform representative meeting the follow¬ ing girls will serve on the uniform board: Carol Nay, Elizabeth Naj quin, Frances Cole, Barbara Put¬ man, Lorraine Ingraham, Clara Bardel, Allen Alkins, and Elinor March, Eunice Macy and Olive Lippiatt are chairmen. Those who are not excused will be given demerits. PART OF LAST YEAR’S FIELD DAY CROWD. LET’S MAKE IT BIGGER THIS YEAR!

HOLLYWOOD SENDS DEBATE QUESTIONS “Has Supreme Court Power to Declare Laws Made by Con¬ gress Unconstitutional ? ” SCHEDULE IS UNDECIDED Donald Hamblin Calls for Teachers to Help in Getting More Debaters for Squad Two questions have been sub¬ mitted to P. H. S. by Hollywood for the subject of the coming de¬ bate to be held at Hollywood on the evening of November 21. The one that is preferable, according to J. H. Atwood, chairman of the for¬ ensic committee, relates to the Supreme Court to declare the laws I of Congress unconstitutional. A slight change in the wording of the question to be debated upon was made and sent back to Hollywood which school has until tomorrow to reject or accept the change. There is no set debating sched¬ ule. Winning schools will be matched after the first debate. Twelve schools in the league are divided into two classes, those of fifteen hundred students or over, and those of fifteen hundred and under. The strongest of the | schools are matched against the strongest, and the weakest against the weakest. There will be three debates for P. H. S. If P. H. S. wins, the second and third will be with two of the winners of the first debate. If P. H. S. loses, the opponent will be first debate losers. Don Hamblin, Commissioner of Debating, has sent a questionable to the teachers of some of the de¬ partments asking for the names of pupils who might make good de¬ baters. These pupils will have a tryout soon and the best of them will defend P. H. S. JUNIOR COLLEGE GIRLS FORM ATHLETIC LEAGUE Owing to the widespread inter¬ est in Girls’ League games and the fact that the original Junior Colleges have their own fate to work out, the girls have organized a Junior College Athletic League, There are six colleges in the league including Pasadena. On account of tire lack of hockey teams there will be no hockey games this year. Basketball, how¬ ever, has been fully organized. The schedule is as follows: Nov. 13 Fullerton at Pasadena Nov.20 Pasadena at El Centro Nov. 26 Santa Ana at Pasadena Dec. 4 Pasadena at Riverside Dec. 11 Citrus Union at Pasadena The league agreed to use Spald¬ ing’s Rule Book and play the games in ten minute thirds. Each team team also furnishes a professional referee and provides for the enter¬ ing coach. This number allows one sub for each place. The games will be played on Thursday except that long distances to travel will bring the games on Saturday. The tennis tournament will be on May 23 at Fullerton and will be directly connected with the boys’ tennis tonmament. Baseball will follow the same schedule in spring as was used for basketball. Swimming will be left to an in¬ vitational meet because not all of the teams in the league have a swmming team. COMMISSIONERS ELECT STUDENT BODY CLERK Winning by a majority of four votes, Karl Rodi, member of the Senior Class, was elected student body clerk at the regular meeting of the Commissioners last Monday.

T. faculty, spoke to the student assemblies last Friday. “American civiliza¬ tion and American ideals can only be preserved if we are prepared against military agression,” said Capt. Perigord, giving as an ex¬ ample, the World War. He also urged all the students to see that their parents register, and that they vote on November 4. The first assembly was presided over by Eddie Collins, Commission¬ er of Boys’ Welfare, and the sec¬ ond by Natalie Vincenti, commis¬ sioner of Girls’ Welfare. Capt. Perigord was introduced by Col¬ onel Warren S. Barlow, Professor of Military Science, who urged all boys to join the R. О. T. C.

ANIMALS AND PLANTS FOR FISH POND WANTED Wanted: Any water animals or plants for use in the new fish pond. Those in charge of the lake have issued the statement that any¬ thing that can be used in the pool will be gladly received. The pool is to be filled within the next week and in it are to be planted lotus, papyrus, umbrella, and water lilies. It is to be stocked with gold fish, cat fish, perch, frogs, and crayfish. A rock garden is to be built around the outside. The plan of the pool is the re¬ sult of a contest held in William G. Kohner’s landscape gardening class. It has been made to look as much like a natural pool as possi¬ ble. This improvement will be a great help for the Biology and Zo¬ ology classes as the plants and an¬ imals will be available for study. R. 0. T. C. RIFLE TEAM PRACTICES FOR MATCH Members of the R. О. T. C. rifle team will begin to practice this week for their first match for the individualistic championship of the United States under the instruction of Sergeant H. C. Gardner. Eight R. О. T. C. men, who shot on the team last year and have re¬ turned this year are in it. Bande- lean, G. Hughet, A. Bridges, B. Put¬ nam, S. Baisley, R. Peisinger, C. Dowd, and L. Forman are the men. NEW PIN DESIGNED FOR THE GIRLS’ RIFLE CLUB At the first meeting of the Girls’ Rifle club on Wednesday, October 1, it was decided that the Junior College girls who were members last year may remain in the club. However, all new members to be taken in this year must be high school students. Try-outs were held last week and the girls that made the highest scores will be eligible for membership. Last year it was necessary to charge a small amount for the am¬ munition, but this year Colonel Barlow has arranged so that the members are to be given their am¬ munition free of charge1. All shooting is to be under the direct supervision of Sergeant Morgan. Owing to the fact that the Girls’ Rifle club has been organized only a'short time, a club pin had never been selected, so at the meeting on Wednesday the girls decided to adopt a pin in the form of a bullet with the initials “G. R. C.” The club will pick a team to represent P. H. S. against all Southern Cal¬ ifornia high schools. To help defray the expenses of the cooperative school float in the Tournament of Roses parade, a big Athletic field day will be held the afternoon of the tenth on Horrell Field. The main attraction of the after¬ noon will be two football games: the Varsity vs. Polytechnic High and the Lightweights vs. Holly¬ wood High. During the intermis¬ sions, soccer games will be held be¬ tween the Junior High Schools of the city. John Muir will play Vo¬ cational, and Washington will play John Marshall Junior High. The band, directed by Hubert H. Par¬ ker, will provide music throughout the afternoon. The general admission will be fifty cents, but High School, Junior High School, and Junior College students will be admitted for twenty-five. Ten cents will be charged for Elementary pupils. Students will be required to re¬ port to advisory classes as usual. PASADENA ROOTERS ШУЕ FINE SUPPORT TO TEAM Have they turned out the police yet? That is the question many residents within a ten block radius of Horrell Field were asking last Friday afternoon. Under the lead¬ ership of yell leaders, Canova, Morris, and Ennis, Pasadena’s rooters displayed a spirit at the Chaffey Union game which, if con¬ tinued, should help the Bulldog ath¬ letes to do their best in future contests. The new chant, tried out in a recent assembly and used at the game, proved very effective. Then to old grads it sounded like old times to hear “Pasadena” sung be¬ tween halves. One of the specta¬ tors was heard to remark, “That band is right there when it comes to pep.” A crowd of students and out¬ siders turned out which nearly filled the grand stand. Due to the ' efficiency of the R. О. T. C. guards, the spectators were kept off the field entirely during- the course of the game. ELECT OFFICERS At a recent meeting of the Pasa¬ dena High School-Junior College Girls’ Glee Club, the officers for the present semester were elected. June Etienne, a club member of three semesters, was elected pres¬ ident ; Clover Klepper, vice-pres¬ ident; and Marie Iliff, secretary and treasurer. As all of the offi¬ cers have had experience in this line before, a very successful yea.' is anticipated. The club soon ex¬ pects to appear in public in a series of concerts at various places in the city. In the second semester they will join with the Boys’ Glee to make the annual «ртга, the name of which has not been decided. uc Says the Chief of the Grid: If you don’t get your Student Body card, I don’t get any kick out of this.
