VOL. II
PASADENA HIGH SCHOOL, OCTOBER 13,-1915, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
NO. 4
PASADENA SENDS THREE
DELEGATES TD L. A.
CONVENTION
Many Student Speeches and
Talks from Los Angeles to
Interest Press Meeting
At the semi-annual convention of
the Interscholastic Press Association
of Southern California, held last Fri¬
day at the Los Angeles High School,
subjects of great interest were dis¬
cussed by both students representing
various school papers and several
talks by representatives of Los An¬
geles firms and newspapers.
Miss Claire Soule, faculty advisor
of the CHRONICLE; Stacy Metiier,
business manager, and Kenneth Fues-
sle, editor, were Pasadena’s delegates.
Los Angeles entertained her many
visitors in a most royal manner. At
11:30 luncheon was served, and from
12 to 1:30 a recess was called. Ushers
were furnished all the delegates and
a tour of the various buildings and an
inspection of the new Housh field was
made.
The afternoon session was an¬
nounced at 1 : 30, at which time the va¬
rious addresses were made. Repre¬
sentatives of school papers spoke on
such subjects as “How to Sell the
School Paper to the Alumni”, “Adver¬
tising in Student Papers”, “Handling
Copy”, and “The Influence of the
Student Paper on School Spiirit.”
F. E. Collins, managing editor of the
Los Angeles Evening Herald, deliv¬
ered a short but snappy address on
“Making Up the Front Page.”
His professional criticism was ap¬
preciated and to the point. Tne chief
trouble with the average student pa¬
per, he contended, was the sameness
of the type used for heads, and the
failure of many student editors and
make-up men to find the most import¬
ant stories and to put them in the
right place.
UNIQUE ORGANIZATION
STARTED WEDNESDAY
Commissioner of Welfare Helps
Freshmen to Get a Second
Organization Started
Evidently thinking that four class
organizations were not sufficient for
a school the size of P. H. S., a new
class organization has ' been made
which should be officially designated
as the Class of 1918 and one-half.
A meeting of these students was
called by Ruth Rowland, Commis¬
sioner of Public Welfare, last Wed¬
nesday at which time officers were
elected for the coming year. Those
chosen for office were as follows:
President, Frederick Loomis; vice-
president, Ellavera Nelson; secretary,
Emmet Jones; treasurer, Paul How¬
ard; and Item representative, Frances
Hall. Miss Hart was unanimously
elected to the office of faculty super¬
visor.
One thing is in favor of this or¬
ganization having a successful year.
The officers do not seem to have the
common malady of the Sophomore —
an enlarged cerebrum — if the words
of Emmet Jones, the newly-elected
secretary are to be taken as indica¬
tion of the feelings of his colleagues.
Jones, in thanking the assembled
multitude for the great honor bestow¬
ed upon him in choosing him as an
officer of the organization, said, “I
can’t do much, as I don’t know how;
but I’ll do my best.”
With such an admirable expression
of feeling, much should be expected
of this organization, during this, the
first year of their existence as a cor¬
porate body.

GHRONIGLE STAFF IS
UNKNOWN QUANTITY
Many Persons Given Chance to
Show Ability as Writers for
Weekly High School Paper
Owing to the fact that the school
year commenced less than four weeks
ago work has not settled down to a
definite routine in the CHRONICLE of¬
fice, and the reportorial staff of the
paper is still rather an unknown quan¬
tity. Nearly every day some person is
dropped from the staff or another is
given a chance to show what he can do
in newspaper work .
It is only right that those who work
to make the sheet a success should
get some commendation or return for
it, and because of this tact, the list
of reporters will be published every
few weeks throughout the year, so
that subscribers may know who it is
that is collecting the news for them.
At present the list is as follows: Copy
desk, Robert Lilley; news reporters,
Raymond Hartman, Lynn Weaver,
George Whitworth, Royal Wilke, Irv¬
ing Ahlswede, Francis Ledyard, Char¬
lotte Winter, Ruth Cawthorne, Victor
Sturdevant and Robert Allen; sport¬
ing reporters, Lawrence Platt, Harry
MacCament and Howell Smith; society
reporters, Elizabeth Allen and Lillian
Coleman.
L A. POLYTECHNIC FALLS
BEFORE SEAY MEN
SATURDAY
Thousand Witness Fast Game
Between Pasadena and Los
Angeles Teams
By using straight football, Pasade¬
na’s lightweight team walked all over
the Poly bantams by a score of 12 to
O. The Poly midgets never had a
chance, the balls bein in their territo¬
ry most of the time. The Pasadena
goal was never in danger; in fact, the
ball was never past their twenty-five
yard line.
Poly kicked off to Pasadena, and
tearing great holes in the Poly line,
the red jersied lads rushed the ball
over the line for a touchdown within
five minutes. The Crown City back-
field was off with a rush. Schafer and
Smith made the Poly line look like a
sieve in a rainstorm, while Wilke
circled their ends like Resta on a
straightaway, gaining ten and fifteen
yards almost every run.
Then Coach Seay began shooting in
new men, but this did not hamper the
P. H. S. lads, and they carried the
ball over the line for another touch¬
down. Almost every man on tne Pas¬
adena squad had a chance in the
game, and every one showed better
training and good coaching, while the
Poly team began blowing like the west
wind before the first quarter.
Poly’s bucking was of no avail;
their end runs were stopped before
they were started. They showed good
fighting spirit, however, and fought to
the last down.
Following the example of the light¬
weights, Pasadena’s first team tram¬
pled Poly the first half of the game,
with a score of 17 to 0. Here Coach
Duffy Seay shoved in the second string-
men and Poly took advantage of this
and scored three touchdowns. With
Gard, Chisholm and Conn in the bat¬
tlefield, Pasadena rushed the ball
down the field wth long end runs and
line smashes for a touchdown.
At all times Poly was outclassed,
the Red and White jersies snowing a
superior knowledge of the game. Pas¬
adena’s interference v^as perfect and
the line opened great holes for the
backs. When Seay put in second team
men, however, the line weakened and
Poly ripped holes in Pasadena’s line
for huge gains. This was a practice
game pure and simple and Coach
Seay meant to make the most of it.
New men went in almost every *-en
minutes, and along toward the last
quarter, Poly was battling Pasadena’s
second team.
Several surprises were in store for
the bleachers. Kline was at right end
and McConaghy at left tackle. This
worked like a charm, McConaghy tear¬
ing through the Poly line on a tackle
round for long gains, and Kline turned
in every play that came nis way.
Wynn at guard showed up well, maid¬
ing like a stone wall, and on a fumble
on Poly’s twenty-yard line he grabbed
the ball and ran it for a toucn down.
As yet Coach Duffy Seay has made
no attempt at perfecting team work,
but the squad seems to work as one
man, playing like forty and with the
brains of the German army. The team,
showed all the old pep and dash of
last year and by next week they will
burn things up for Manual.
The final score was 24 to 20, but
this game was a great help to Seay,
making it easy to pick out the weak
points of his team. The squad knew
it, and came to school Monday
expecting and getting a scorching lec¬
ture from the coach.

AROUSES GREAT
ENTHUSIASM
President of Manual Arts Stu¬
dent Body Presents School
With Manual Pennant
Full of pep and enthusiasm was
the big rally on Friday at which time
the shining lights of football drama
appeared before the assembly prior to
the first battle of the season.
Short talks were heard from various
members of the team and Coaches
Kienholtz and Seay.
“I feel confident,” said Mr. Kien¬
holtz, “that we are to have a pleasant
and profitable year; that we are about
to enter into one of the greatest “oot,-
ball seasons that P. H. S. has ever
experienced. More schools are now
playing the American game than ever
before. All of the South and even
the central part of the state have
taken it up.
“This year, above all years, a great
deal is expected from P. H. S. You
are the people that make up this
school. It’s up to you to get in and
boost not only for football, but for
all the activities. Your attendance is
needed at all the games, and likewise
your financial support.
“You Freshmen get into the game
at the outset and make yourselves
part of the school. Work together and
see what you can accomplish, for I
believe this will be a banner year. All
of you remember that we have a good
team and a clean team, and the best
coach in the State.”
Coach Seay was the next speaker,
and from him came an appeal for the
loyal support of the students through
the coming year. He said: “Tomor¬
row we play our first game of football
this season, and Polytechnic plays her
first game of American football. Tt’s
up to everyone of you to be out there
and start things off right.”
Warren Lamport, president of Man¬
ual Arts High School, and one of her
football stars, was visiting the school
and gave voice to an expression of the
friendship and good will existing be¬
tween the two institutions.
“Manual feels highly honored at
being on good terms with P. H. S.,”
he said, “and we hope that such a
relation may exist always. We are
coming over here next Saturday, and
whether we win or lose, we will play
a clean game, and know that Pasadena
will do the same.”
NEW FRESHMAN LAWS
EFFECTIVE FRIDAY
Here they are:
1. Freshmen are requested NOT to
use the front doors. They must come
in either of the side or back doors.
2. Freshmen will not be allowed to
congregate in groups in the front halls
nor will they be allowed to mess up
the front steps.
3. Freshmen should be gentlemen.
They are requested to tip their hats
to any upperclassmen on request.
4. It is customary for freshmen to
remove their hats while on the school
grounds.
5. Freshmen boys will not be allowed
to spend their noon period with young
lady friends — and in no case will they
be allowed to bother girls of the upper
classes.
6. When eating in the cafeteria,
freshmen should be seen and not
heard.
7. It is a custom of the school that
freshmen stand when addressing any
faculty member or upperclassman.
8. A careful reading of these rules
will avoid any misunderstanding. “Ig¬
norance of the law is no excuse.”
9. These are the only rules of value
in the school and have been passed
on by the upper classes and by Prin¬
cipal Jerome O. Cross.
Important Subjects to Be Dis¬
cussed — Constitution Com¬
mittee to Report
Hoping that the fine spirit manifest¬
ed • at the first meting will again be
shown, Calvin Littleton, President of
the Senior class, has called the sec¬
ond meeting of the fourth year stu¬
dents for 3:10 this evening.
Much important business will come
before the Seniors at this time. Since
the last meeting a committee compos¬
ed of Robert Nichols, William Coombs
and Elizabeth Allen has been appoint¬
ed to revise the constitution, and re¬
port on their work at thts meting.
This revision will include the fixing
of class dues for the year, and many
other important changes. As a result
of the committee being appointed in
time to report at this meeting, it has
made unnecessary the calling of an
extra meeting for the adoption of the
revised constitution.
The committee appointed to inves¬
tigate the matter of a permanent class
pin will report, and there is promise
of a lively discussion over this im¬
portant question. The pin under dis¬
cussion would be worn by Seniors
only, and would in no way conflict
with the pin customarily selected in
the Freshman year, which could be
worn with it for special class distinc¬
tion.
The monthly Senior assembly, which
was proposed at the first meeting, will
again come under consideration, and
a committee will be appointed to de¬
cide upon this matter.
Plans for a big Senior party to be
held in the near future will also be
discussed. Any further suggestions
for the betterment of the class will
be welcomed by the officers.
The meeting tonight is to be short
and snappy, as will all of the Senior
meetings be in the future. The presi¬
dent urges all Seniors to attend and
take an active part in the discussions
and decisions of the class.
ADVANCED CLASS IN
SPEAKING ORGANIZED
In an effort to develop originality
of thought, Mr. Batkin has organized
an advanced public speaking class.
Only those who have had previous spe¬
cial training in public speaking are
eligible for the class.
Another aim in establishing the
class is to encourage the students to
take up various hobbies, gaining par¬
ticular knowledge along some particu¬
lar line which will be of vital interest
to them.
The class is conducted by the semi¬
nar method. The students gather
round a table and talk over some par¬
ticular problem selected by the pupils.
Part of the work consists of reports
on speeches made by well known men.
A NEW “SONG HIT”
One of the latest arrivals at the
Melody Shop for this week was “Love
Comes a’ Stealing.” Another one of
those strong Ballads which in time
will become as famous as was “A Lit¬
tle Love, a Little Kiss,” or “My Little
Dream Girl.” Other leading songs of
the day are “When I Was a Dreamer,”
“Kentucky Jubilee,” “Tulip Time in
Holland,” “Killaloo,” “Araby,” and
“On the Beach at Waikikoi,’ of which
are becoming very popular.
Our stock of Banjo Mandolins,
matchless violins, etc., is now com¬
plete. We are Pasadena’s sole agents-
