Bulldog Is
Defeated At
Field Day
Packed Stands W itness
Annual Observance
Of Grid Games
Packed stands witnessed the an¬
nual Field Day observance, last
Friday afternoon, when P. J. C.’s
Bulldog was defeated by the Pur¬
ple Phantoms of Cathedral high
school and the Terrier lightweights
of Muir Tech in the first sched¬
uled football presentation of the
season.
Rooters from Pasadena junior
college, Muir Tech, Cathedral, Wil¬
son, Marshall, Eliot, McKinley and
Washington presented the desig¬
nated 25-cent admission charge
which was the only means of gain¬
ing entrance to the athletic classic.
Classes were shortened during
the day to 30 minutes in order that
the lightweight tussle might start
promptly at 1 p. m. Sixth period
was cut entirely to fit the schedule.
Temporary cheer leaders and
songstresses performed during the
day, leading the bleachers in a se¬
ries of yells and songs. Permanent
members of the pep commission
have not been chosen as yet, but
will be selected next Friday.
The Pasadena Bulldog band per¬
formed between games and halves,
starting a heated competition be¬
tween the junior high schools, as
balloons were released with school
designations raced into the skies.
Lancers and Spartans, men’s and
women’s honorary service groups,
patrolled the gates and bleachers
during the competition. This ob¬
servance of Field Day constituted
the ninth annual time of competi¬
tion. Reversing their defeat of
last year, Cathedral rose from a
20-9 defeat to a victory of 13-6.

Miss Estelle Tennis, a former
member of the language depart¬
ment, is visiting Pasadena friends
this week while en route to Oak¬
land for her vacation.
Since leaving Pasadena, Miss
Tennis has been in New York City

Restrictive
Club Bids To
End Rushing
Traditional “Hands Off”
To Be Strictly Followed
By Organizations
Marking the end of the new se¬
mester’s rushing season, with its
usual four weeks of formal and in¬
formal club affairs, luncheon dates
and other customary rushing tac¬
tics, restrictive club bids will be
issued this Friday, at 2 p. m.,
through the office of Miss Cath¬
erine J. Robbins, dean of women
and inter-restrictive club council
adviser.
All bids from the clubs, and the
lists of those receiving bids must
be handed in to Miss Robbins by
Friday morning, at 8 a. m. This
time limit must be strictly ob¬
served, and a penalty will be given
for late bids. Using the accustomed
procedure of the school rushing
rules, restrictive club members
must, after submitting their lists,
follow the “hands off” policy from
12 midnight, Thursday, until 2
p. m., on Friday.
In order to be sure this policy
is carried out, club members are
requested to stay away from the
dean of women’s office during the
restricted period of time.
Notification of bids awaiting the
students will be made by means
of call slips, sent throughout the
day, from Miss Robbins’ office. Stu¬
dents receiving these call slips are
asked to present the slips at the
office immediately, and to receive
their bids at that time.
Because the end of the rush sea¬
son, the issuing of new bids, and
the “hands off” rule that no stu¬
dents may receive bids during
Thursday night and Friday, all re¬
quire a great deal of careful ob¬
servance, and work on the part of
Miss Robbins and Ed Raymond,
inter-restrictive club council presi¬
dent, students are asked to co¬
operate as fully as possible during
this time.
Penny Frolic
Will Be Held
Start saving your “cents” for
the Annual Penny Carnival and
Fun Frolic to be held at the Frank¬
lin school on Saturday, October 13.
The show will start at 7:30 and
will continue until 12 p. m.
Admission will be one “cent” for
each inch of sole on one foot, and
all football players are urged to
attend. Entertainment which in¬
cludes two big shows, fishing for
those expert rodmen, a big balanc¬
ing act for all, and a challenge
ping pong tournament.
This annual carnival will be
sponsored by the Women’s Auxili¬
ary Benefit Emergency Relief
Fund of the Caretakers’ associa¬
tion. Prizes and food will be do¬
nated by the women of this asso¬
ciation.
T-Square Holds
Club Election
The T-Square club of Pasadena
junior college had its first meeting
of the semester on October 1. This
organization was formed to further
interest in architecture and the al¬
lied arts and has among its mem¬
bers students of the institution
who are interested in building
practice.
The meeting was held to elect
new officers, who include John
Schofield, president; Ralph Minnik,
first vice-president; Ralph Eski-
jean, second vice-president; Alice
Lembke, secretary; and Brooke
Morris, treasurer.
Talbot Band
Will Play At
Assembly
Popular Vote To Select
Song, Cheer Leaders
As Band Plays
With Jack Talbot and his nine-
piece orchestra the chief attrac¬
tion, junior collegians will con¬
vene Friday morning during as¬
sembly period to Horrell field for
the first regular assembly of the
current semester.
Up to now, according to David
Patrick, secretary of activities, all
assemblies have been special class
or AMS-AWS meetings. However,
he said, from now on the regular
assemblies, beginning Friday, will
be held. As during last semester,
all assemblies will be held on Hor¬
rell field bleachers.
While Friday’s meeting will fea¬
ture the music of Talbot’s orches¬
tra and sundry soloists, a small
portion of the 40-minute period
will be given over to the selection
of new cheer-leaders and song-
leaders. Unofficial tryouts were
held last Wednesday, under the su¬
pervision of Dick Gorby, secretary
of athletics, so that a group of
arm-wavers might be present Fri¬
day to officiate at the Field Day
fracas. These choices, however,
are not official and actual choices
will be made Friday by popular
vote.
Jack Boaz, Bill Bogart, Bob
Chambers, Vernon Lief and Mor¬
gan West, cheer kings, and Kay
Butler, Dot Cordrey, Dot Shute and
Kay West, quartet of song leaders,
were chosen to officiate only dur¬
ing Field Day, last Friday.
Those who lead songs and yells
then, and any other member of the
student body who wishes, may try
out this Friday.
So far it is planned to have five
judges, three representing the stu¬
dent body and two the faculty, to
select the final pep commission at
the coming meeting, October 12.
It is the aim of the assembly
committee, according to Patrick,
appointed this week by the board
of representatives, to bring about
as interesting and varied programs
as possible. Patrick stated that
there will be a meeting of the
committee in the near future to
discuss plans for the coming se¬
mester.
Faculty Tastes
Own Medicine
So finally they’ve reversed the
process, and those pesky teachers
are at last being made to swallow
their own medicine. And now
they’re racking their brains along
with their suffering proteges for
those will-o’-the-wisp inspirations
which make English these immor¬
tal or merely plain “F” papers.
But it’s all for a good cause, so
be not alarmed. Under the direc¬
tion of Audre L. Stong, head of the
faculty public relations committee,
a series of articles which in time
will cover every phase of the cur¬
ricula of our institution of learn¬
ing, was inaugurated last Sunday
in the Pasadena Post. The articles
are to be written by the teachers
themselves as a sort of evaluation
of their particular courses, defend¬
ing their place in the curricula, and
incidentally acting as a bit of red
hot publicity for the cause of the
impending bond issue.
The series was inaugurated Sun¬
day with the appearance of an ar¬
ticle by E. V. Van Amringe, head
of the geology department, and
will continue intermittently until
October 26, when the question of
under just what conditions we em¬
bryo students will absorb our
knowledge in coming years.
Frosh balloting was the feature
of the voting due to the election
of a class president to head the
list of incoming new officers. Phil
Hawgood defeated John Trow¬
bridge and Charles Braden in the
presidential race, while Tom Ste¬
vens copped the vice-presidency by
winning out over Robert Bonthius
and Ailene Srecher. Shirley Smith
automatically became secretary
due to lone candidacy in the elev¬
enth-year group. Philip Cartwright
and Oscar Horn competed against
Alberta Anderson, who received
the position of treasurer. A. W. S.
representative will be Annette La¬
rue, who ran against Prudence
Lehrbach, Ellen Lombard and Lila
Renner.
In order of seniority, the four¬
teenth-year group chose Dean
Griggs for vice-president of the
senior class over Ted Eastman,
as Mary Helen Johnston received
the secretaryship over her oppon¬
ent, Ruth Bishop. Gordon Eby won
the post of treasurer. Nancy Kel¬
logg and Leora Luce were named
representatives to the associated
women students’ cabinet.
Six students were recruited from
the large ranks of the junior class
to compete for the four positions
open to complete the list of presi¬
dent, vice-president, secretary, and
treasurer and A. W. S. representa¬
tive. The first post, having been
filled last semester, was not open
but Norman MacDonnel was given
the second office with no other op¬
ponent in his field. Raymond Kahn
defeated Mabel Pierce for the third
job named while Stewart McCul¬
lough beat Robert Deford in the
fourth berth. Kathleen Cartwright,
another lone candidate, received
the A. W. S. class post.
Sophomores chose Bob Masoner
over Harry Sheldon for the vice¬
presidency, Eleanor Roobian auto¬
matically became secretary as did
Bill Hatch, who sought the treas¬
urer job. Real competition was met
in the A. W. S. race for represen¬
tative by Helen Morley and Mar¬
garet Davis, who were victorious
over Marjorie Sorver and Lenore
Wilcox.
Seniors met in the men’s gym
and later attended the rally in the
bleachers while the other classes
held all the business in the tem¬
porary auditorium.

ments are to be served.
Eleanor Northrup, student
body president, called a meeting
last Tuesday to which she re¬
quested that the organizations
on the campus send represent¬
atives. A member of the student
body at large was also appointed
by her to take part in the plan¬
ning.
Committee heads were chosen
from those in attendance at the
meeting. Betty Lewis, represent¬
ing the senior class, is in charge
of the decorations. Bertille Glan-
ville of the inter-restrictive club
council is taking over the selection
of favors, while June Mathews,
from the student body at large, is
rounding up the entertainment.
Games are being planned by
Milton Valois of the Y. M. C. A.
and George Josten, Y. M. adviser,
is aiding him. Helen Phillips of
the Y. W. C. A., and Miss Mary
Smyer, advisory secretary of that
activity, are heading the refresh¬
ment group.
Tickets are being taken care of
by Kit Cartwright representing
the junior class, and Lavonne Gar¬
ber, sophomore class, is seeing to
the publicity. Miss Ruth Conrad,
adviser to the social affairs com¬
mittee, is helping in all these
preparations.
The committee chairmen will
pick their own group members
from the activity which they rep¬
resent.
Foresters Elect
New Executives
Officers for the new semester
were elected last week by the For¬
estry club, with the new execu¬
tives: Horace Self, president; Estel
Sitze, vice-president; Horace Mc-
Birnie, secretary; and Cloudsly
French, treasurer.
The group plans to have speak¬
ers who will emphasize the recrea¬
tional side of forestry for the ini¬
tial part of the semester’s pro¬
gram. These will be represent¬
atives of the forest service and
allied branches.
Last year’s non-restrictive intra¬
mural champions, the Foresters,
plan to enter all the events this
year including the forthcoming
tennis, swimming and cross-coun¬
try contest. “We hope to take the
championship again this year,”
said President Self.
Fire Chief
Speaks To
Chamber
Warnings Issued As Fire
Prevention Week Is
Inaugurated
Yearly loss of life through fire
catastrophes amounts to more than
three times the number of Ameri¬
cans killed in the World War. This
was the startling statement re¬
vealed by chief of the Pasadena
fire department, E. F. Coop, in a
speech made yesterday at the
luncheon given to the Junior
Chamber of Commerce.
This meeting was held in order
to promote Fire Prevention Week,
which is now in full sway. Repre¬
sentatives attending the luncheon
from Pasadena junior college were
Edward Cornelison, technology ;
Archibald Wedemeyer, art depart¬
ment head; and Dr. Glenn L.
Lembke, instructor of journalism.
An interesting demonstration of
swiftness in preparing fire appa¬
ratus was given by the Pasadena
fire department, when they set up
their equipment in 55 seconds.
Pasadena has one of the lowest
fire losses per capita of any city
in the United States. The loss in
the nation is $4.25 per capita,
while in Pasadena it is $0,394. The
total amount of money lost through
fire is $31,528 per annum.
Last year there were 40 false
alarms turned in to the fire de¬
partment, with the average cost
of each alarm amounting to
$657.28. This is a penal offense
listed among the felony charges.
Comparatively low was the num¬
ber of fire losses in Pasadena. The
total number of fires was 55, with
an average of $573.24.
Investigation revealed that the
cause of only 15 fires was unknown,
while the highest number of fires
was caused by rubbish. Other
sources of fires were said to be
grass, short circuits in auto wir¬
ing, auto backfires, smouldering
cigarettes, fire scares and sparks
from chimneys.
In order to hold down the ex¬
pense on equipment the Pasadena
fire department has two engines
which lack but a few months of
being twenty years old.
A total of 366 alarms were re¬
ceived by telephones, alarm boxes,
still alarms, privately and through
the police.
Expenditures of the department
are comparatively low in respect to
the number of calls which have
been answered in the past year,
amounting to only $240,564.04.
During the past year 366 alarms
