VOL. XIV PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, OCT. 13, 1922 No. 6 ONE OF As a result pf the Honor Society being made a goal toward which all students may work, the scholarship in the high school has become much bet¬ ter. This is shown by the present total of two hundred and seventy-four members, an increase of forty-three members over the number at the first of last year. Never before in the history of the society has the number of boys of a certain class been greater than the number of girls. This year the boys of the Freshman class have three more members than the girls. This shows that the era of good scholarship has probably affected the boys more than the girls. The present members of the Honor Society are the following: Seniors Who Received California Schoalrship Federation Gold Pins BOYS Beckwith, Sterling Dalton, James William Delgrave, Everett Elliott, Robert Green, Robert Norton Kephart, Albert E.

Most of the girls and quite a number of the boys favor the middies but there are a few who think simplified dresses would be much better. E ELECTS OFFICERS Careless Tardiness and Absence Discussed by Workers of Attendance Office The second regular Student Council representative meeting was held last Friday during the second advisory period in room 200-C. Steven Halstead was elected secre¬ tary and John Rowland vice-president of this permanent organization. Arthur Stewart reported an im¬ provement in the transportation situ¬ ation and urged all the students to re¬ member Mr. Ewing’s suggestions of last week regarding conduct on trains. Jack Edwards, an Attendance Office worker, discussed the problem of care¬ less tardiness, the silly excuses given, and the attitude of business firms toward tardiness. Arthur Stewart, also of the Atten¬ dance Office force, spoke on careless absence, excuses given, and the oppor¬ tunity every student has this year to show the real P. H. S. spirit by means of the Honor System. He asserted that students must not leave the school at any time during the school day without first being excused by the Attendance Office. Even when Mr. O’Mara, Miss Clarke, or Dr. Seabolt excuse a student, they ask him to have the slip stamped in the Attendance Of¬ fice. Hereafter there will be no ex¬ cuse for students not understanding that they should be excused before leaving school and not after their re¬ turn. Students are permitted to eat lunch across the street at noon, but not to go down town without permission. Mr, O’Mara spoke of the value of regular attendance to the pupil, him¬ self, and to the school. Absence breaks down the morale of the classes and is a financial loss to the school. Robert Moore reported that as the hall situation had not cleared up sat¬ isfactorily, a vote would be taken Monday to find out the sentiment of the students. Mrs. Irene Peters, member of the English department, spoke on the es¬ sentials of a good short speech. As she emphasized them, they are: De¬ livery, organization of notes; and ap¬ peal to loyalty of P. H. S. pupils. THEY ARE ALL OUT AFTER THE FIRST TACKLE TODAY Some Franklin player is going to get knocked for a kite today in the first kick-off, and some other Pasadena “fly and spill ’em” will hand the quar¬ ter-back an Eskimo Pie for the chance to make the first touch-down. Why? Plain enough. Brenner & Wood, Pasadena clothiers ,are offering to the first P. H. S. player in the Franklin game who makes a touch¬ down, a $7.50 Stetson hat order. The Philomathean Literary Society is of¬ fering another $4.00 merchandise ord¬ er at Brenner & Wood’s to the first tackle of the season. -Pasadena High School players need no prizes to go after in order to tackle or score, but the merchandise orders will add more interest to the game. Mr .Leon Martin has put in a bid for the new derby. According to Leon, Samuel Dagley will look like he’s standing still when Mr. Martin passes him on the first kick-off. The lassies of San Diego High School are to wear middies, according to the regulations made by the Board of Education. The middies are to be worn minus coats, sweaters, or wraps of any kind. FIRST OF Startling, unique, entertaining, and original will be the vaudeville given in the P. H. S. auditorium, Wednesday, October 18, by the students and faculty. The curtain will rise at 3:30 that day upon scenes weird and fasci¬ nating, extraordinary and undreamed of in their startling and bizarre settings and atmosphere of anaesthetic surprises. The program consists of eight snap¬ py stunts fwell seasoned with several varieties of jazz. The first act“ Mem¬ ories of the Past,” will reveal some¬ thing dear to the hearts of the P. H. S.’ers. Following this will be “a musical mixture,” introducing the boys who put the snaps in jazz. The feature acts of the program will be “The Gil- unitics” and “Dance Divertissments.” “The Gilunitics” are an unrivaled ag¬ gregation of lawn rollers, boneless contortionists, divers, and strong men, assisted by F. J. Gilloon, member of the mathematics department and War¬ ren Slater, of the Pasadena Y. M. C. A. This combination will be seen in surpassing feats of strength, agility, beauty, balance and grace. Three rings are too small to hold this act. “Dance Divertissments” is a clever skit of five interpretive dances which would be hard for professionals to qual. In addition to these the “Crown City Singers” will exercise their vocal chords on selected songs. “Damon and Prickett” two versatile vaudevil- lians will amuse the audience for twelve mnutes. The “Nipponese Gladiators” will conclude the program for those who have not been put to sleep by the pre- ceeding act “Anaesthetic Surprise”, which savors of the atmospher of old Spain. ELECTED FRIDAY Joseph Sill was chosen to rule with sceptered hand o’er the Class of ’23. He won the election with a large vote over his opposing candidate, Jerome Young. For the second honors, no one has been chosen as yet. This election was carried into the finals as a major¬ ity was not obtained in the first vote. The position of secretary was ob¬ tained by Estelle Bassett. Roderick Ward was elected to handle the financial matters of the claass, as treasurer. PHOTO CLUB DEMONSTRATE PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTS IN RECENT MEETING Developing and Printing Done in Regular Laboratory By Club Officers The art of developing and printing films was demonstrated recently at a meeting of the Photo Club. The demonstration took place in a room illuminated only by a red light. A number of films were developed, among which were snap-shots of the P. H. S. team in action. According to an estimate made by some of the boys, printing done at home saves three fourths of the usual cost. All prospective members of the Photo Club must have a knowledge of photography before they are accepted. Gills’ League and Ninth Year Classes Will Both Have Meetings This Week Advisory class students will probab¬ ly take more of an interest in the dis¬ cussions next week because of the good program that has been arranged. The plans are as follows : Monday — Report to be given by the Student Council Representatives on the subjects discussed at Friday’s meetings. Tuesday — Girls’ League meeting to be held while the boys remain in classes and study. Wednesday — Ninth year class meet- students are to talk according to the discretion of the teacher and students. Thursday — Assemblies. Friday — Chronicle day. Student Council representatives will meet in room 200-C during second advisory period. Winning the R. О. T. C. inspection last Friday with 92 points, “B” com¬ pany broke “C” company’s “lucky streak.” “C” was second with 80 points, and “A” company placed last, having 72. The points are awarded in compliance with the new merit system started in the R. О. T. C. this year. COMMISSIONERS SEEKING MANY NEW MEMBERS According to Martin Scott, Com¬ missioner of Finance, about 2150 Stu¬ dent Body cards have been sold to date. He would like 400 more bought, in order to make P. H. S. a 100 per¬ cent school. This is the only school in Southern California besides Long Beach High that has a system of cards and it is necessary that the record be kept up. MUCH INTEREST SHOWN IN AMERICAN HISTORY “Students are more interested in American history today than former¬ ly,” was the statement made by Leon Yakely, member of the Social Science department. “The recent war is the cause of their changed attitude,” he continued. “The students wish to know the part Amer¬ ica has taken in international prob¬ lems of the past and what her stand will be in the future. The world war is responsible for American and inter¬ national interest,” he stated. Miss Rilla Lane, member of the English department, who has been ill, will be with her clanses again next Monday. Miss Helene Benish ’22, and Miss Irene Clough ’21, are studying to be¬ come kindergarten or first grade teachers. They are attending Broad Oaks Kindergarten Training School in Pasadena.
