Plans For
Buildings
Approved
Horace Mann Structure
To Be Demolished
In Near Future
APPROVAL PENDING
Stage To Remain Upright
During Demolition,
Deemed Safe
That the plans for the complete
demolition of the former Horace
Mann structure, with the excep¬
tion of the stage on which the
library now is located, are in the
process of being approved by cen¬
tral PWA officials in Washington,
was revealed recently by Samuel
A. Cook, superintendent of build¬
ings and grounds for Pasadena
city schools.
The stage was omitted from de¬
molition plans because it has been
found to be Safe.
Mr. Cook estimates that it will
take about ten days to receive a
reply from Washington. He is con¬
fident that the proposed plans will
receive official approval. Follow¬
ing their approved return from
the national capital, the Board of
Education will advertise for three
weeks in local newspapers for bids
on the demolition job, said Mr.
Cook.
According to Superintendent
Cook, it would take six weeks to
complete destruction of the Hor¬
ace Mann structure. It is officially
hoped that reconstruction plans
will have been completed and
have gained central PWA approval
by this time so that rebuilding
may start immediately following
completion of demolition.
Thus rebuilding of the former
Horace Mann building will start,
officials hope, before reconstruction
of the former Louis Agassiz and
Jane Addams buildings is com¬
pleted. Present demolition of the
former Agassiz and Addams
buildings is proceeding at a fast
pace and the two should be ready
for reconstruction shortly.
The architectural design of the
reconstructed Mann building will
follow the same trend proposed for
the other two buildings. The re¬
constructed Addams and Agassiz
buildings are to be built in the
modern manner with the architec¬
tural design lying in horizontal
and vertical line movement. The
cornices and other protuberances
noticeable on the old structures
will not reappear on the new mod¬
ern streamlined buildings.
Gehrig Head

Arthur Gehrig, instructor of
astronomy on the local campus,
was elected president of Sci-Math
club, at a meeting held last Mon¬
day. Donald Hudson and John
Stevenson were chosen as vice-

ly, while Russell Skeeters was ap¬
pointed treasurer and chairman of
the membership committee.
A speaker for the next meeting
on the evening of October 22, in
100T, will lecture on research
work in the field of public health.
All persons interested are advised
by Mr. Gehrig to. obtain tickets
early from the club officers.
The Sci-Math club was organ¬
ized for both students and the fac¬
ulty of P. J. C. who are interested
in widening their education in the
fields of astronomy, biology, engi¬
neering, mathematics, geology,
chemistry, pre-medical, and phys¬
ics. Their aim is to have eight lec¬
tures a year, each one to cover
one of these fields.

fice staff of Cyril Bennett, archi¬

plans for combining the two
groups, Alpha Gamma Sigma, up¬
per division scholarship organiza¬

year.
With the idea of combining the
two groups, both 'clubs elected that
their newly elected presidents ap¬
point a committee from each group
to discuss the problems of joining
the two organizations. Nothing
definite has been decided, however,
as the official status of the clubs
would probably be changed by such
an arrangement.

Caltech, gave a lecture, illustrated
by slides, on “Understanding

importance will be that it will give
visitors some idea of how the jun¬
ior college students work on the
campus. The junior college Pat¬
rons’ Association is sponsoring the

membership and thus raising mon¬
ey for scholarships for junior col¬
lege students.”
The program of the day includes
the assembly at 10:00 a. m., a
personally conducted tour of the

ship in the organization has taken
place which will be culminated by
the open house. Sam Schwartz and
Marjorie Bettanier, A. M. S. and

Band Man
Composes
Symphony
In a recent interview, Nor bet
Duarte, prominent member of the
Bulldog band, admitted that he is
the composer of the “Symphony to
Jehovah,” which was widely dis¬
cussed and applauded in music
fields this past summer. The first
movement of the symphony was
given by the Chicago Musical col¬
lege summer symphony orchestra
on July 29, while the second was
given by the combined orchestras
of the Chicago Musical college
and the American Conservatory of
Music on August 7, according to
the composer.
Dr. Olaf Anderson, who con¬
ducted in both instances, and
wrote the orchestration for the
symphony, was highly complimen¬
tary of Duarte’s ability and stated
that “Duarte is really a very tal¬
ented young man.” Using the
transposition of his own name,
Duarte signs his composition with
“Etraud 'Teb-Ron.”
NEW QUARTET
An innovation of the symphony
association this year is the string
quartet, which will do radio and
concert work under Milton C.
Mohs’ coaching. It consists of four
girls, Ruth Hewitt and Grace
Eleanore Wood, violins, Edna
Hamm, viola, and Mary Tweed,
cello. They are at present study¬
ing quartet literature for this
most exacting of instrumental
playing.
