In response to an urgent call
for help, twelve Junior College

Activities at the YMCA, these
boys were secured on the basis
of picking experience last sum¬
mer at Placentia, Dale Hiestand

man. Highly successful at Pla¬
centia, these boys came to the
rescue, as they averaged bet¬
ter than 45 boxes apiece per
day. Despite being inactive for
several weeks, the youths found
found the picking to their lik¬
ing and were paid on a satis¬
factory basis.
Mr. E. S. Hart, manager of the

Spike Jones and His “City Slickers”
On The Cob
Hit Assembly Sets Style
For Sanborn To Duplicate
Spike Jones, Fibber McGee Impersonator
Panic PJC Audience Last Friday
PJC screamed at Secretary of Activities Bill Sanborn its
answer to what actually is a solid assembly, packed Sexson
and Mead auditoriums Friday to gobble up corn shucked by
Spike Jones and his “City Slickers.” Few pseudo-sophisticates
believed the producer could produce, peeled off their veneer,
applauded hysterically at the first tinney note. In theatre par¬
lance, the house was a sellout. At ten minutes ’til nine on East
campus, only seats unoccupied
were discretely supporting neigh¬
bor’s texts, indicating reservation
plus four baldheaded rows down
front, saved by Lancers for AMS
breakfast club. At nine the as¬
bestos raised majectically, San¬
born squeaked on stage, blushed
at applause, introduced Hiestand
for flag salute, introduced Mac¬
Leod, Lubic for “Beat Bakers¬
field” routine, introduced Jones.
“lied Wing,” “Pass the Bis¬
cuits Mi randy,” “Siam,” “An¬
other Drink,” Der Fueher’s
Face,” marked Spike’s talent
copyrighted, proving to the
public that invention of pecu¬
liar instruments actually pays
dividends.
Creator of “One Dozen Roses”
now with Spike’s band, sang own
tune for reverent applause of
student body.
Added attraction of hit assem¬
bly was Bill Thompson, imper¬
sonator for Fibber McGee and
Molly show, characterizing Hora¬
tio K. Boomer, old-timer Nick
Appopolos, Wallace Wimple. A
lead off from the stage with
panting bag pipes, pleased audi¬
ence as he finally struck a few
disjointed bars.
Enthusiastic applause showed
Junior and Senior class presi¬
dents Dave Kilmer, Bob Per¬
kins, Sanborn, their brain child
was a success, stressing that
popular talent fills aisles every-
time.

1940, to October, 1941.

Stu Fitch Ruled Out
After Reading Code,
Final Elections Today
Run-offs Highlight Last Races,
Identification Cards Required Again
Election officials were presented with a deep problem after
last week’s primary elections: what to do with write-in can¬
didate Stu Fitch who ran next to last year’s runner-up, Don
Barry. Finally the files were consulted and a musty copy of the
election code-, accepted by the Board of Representatives two
years ago, was exhumed, which asserted that when the con¬
test lay between two people, the one receiving the most votes
was automatically elected. Thus,
Barry, Editor of the Handbook
and sparkplug of the PJC legal
system was declared “in” and
will not have to stand in the pri¬
maries as city papers erroneous¬
ly reported last Saturday.
Marilyn Phillips, election com¬
missioner revealed the results of
high campaigning during past
weeks as follows:
Freshman class president, run¬
off between Skippy Whitmere
and Bob Branden; vice-president,
tied between Barbara Bliven and
Pri cilia Straton; Winnie Wert-
man and Betty Rossback run-off
for secretary; treasurer, Jack
Grund; associated women stu¬
dents’ freshman representative,
run-off between Ann Bowman
and Mary Lehman.
Jack Wiegand elected sopho¬
more class vice-president; secre¬
tary, run-off between Barbara
Tyler and Helen Sopp; Jeanne
Boone, elected treasurer.
Junior class vice-president,
Rosemary Johnstone, elected;
Edwina Dodson, secretary, elect¬
ed; treasurer, Ted Felbeck, elect¬
ed.
As in past semesters, bulletin
boards and cases throughout the
main hall are filled with pictures
of candidates, this being done to
acquaint, not so informed stu¬
dents, as to respective applicants
and their challenged positions.
Similar to last week’s set up,
polls will be arranged at various
intervals about the campus to¬
day for those professing a poli¬
tical surge. Identification cards
will again entitle students to
enter political high-jinks.
