All-American Center Gives Pointers on Value of School Spirit at Grid Contests ‘Babe” Horrell, ’21, Ex- Cap tain of the Varsity, Urges Students to Support the Teams; New Yells Demonstrated by Hi-Y Members Speaking on spirit at school games, “Babe” Horrell, ’21, and captain of the varsity team dur¬ ing his last game at P. H. S., gave a short talk to the students dur¬ ing yesterday’s assembly in the bleachers. Mr. O’Mara, who introduced him to the assembly, said: “He never missed a practice of the team, and always stood up under his studies. He was chosen for the 'all-American center in 1924; the only all-American star that Pasa¬ dena has ever produced.” “Babe” compared the school spirit that he found while in col¬ lege with that of the high school, saying: “The spirit that exists at college is different from that of the high school. In college every¬ body supports the teams, while in the high schools the attendance is not so good. In the past practically everybdy was a member of the student body. It is your duty to get out and support the team.” Although Horrell said that he Tues. Assembly GEN. WOOD To Be Resumed LAUDED BY R. 0.

Weston terms the yell the “Bulldog-bark six-yell.” Mr. O’Mara announced that stu¬ dents could stay through their sixth-period classes and still get to the lightweight game here today with South Pasadena. He also urged all to attend Saturday’s game there. It was announced that all stu¬ dents who brought their student body cards to the J. C. game coul get in for half price.

C. will march in the Armistice Day parade. Colonel George White, commander of the local battalion, received an invita¬ tion from the Pasadena American NEW CLUB OBGANIZED The Nacoma is one of the new est groups to be organized this year. It, unlike many of the other clubs in the school, is connected with no one department of the school.. Its name, Nacoma, is an Indian word meaning “altogether.” Those students who have a hobby, or anything in which they are un¬ usually interested, will meet to discuss their hobbies and learn much which is of interest to other students. At the first meeting of the club, the constitution was read and offi¬ cers were elected. They are: John Esbenshade, president; Eachael Jaques, vice-president; Elvin Doug¬ las, secretary, and Edna Langstaff, treasurer. A meeting of the officers was planned for some future date, the object being to appoint commit¬ tees. Miss Walmsley, of the English department, is the faculty adviser of the club. ME. HATTEESLEY SPEAKS TO J. C. STUDENTS Band Puts Pep Into Struggling|Warrior A football game is in action. The score is tied and the teams are fighting like fiends incarnate. The stands are filled with color, riotously blending and converging. Cheer leaders jump around like marionettes in a side show, and out of thousands of throats rises a unifieds yell, swelling gradually into a thunder of sound. The time-keeper’s whistle is heard and the third quarter is over. Suddenly over the noise of the crowd a sound of music is heard and the crowd rises to its feet singing the school song. Over the field the song echoes and above' the singers can be heard the band. | team of pasadena, about 18 boys Song- Rouses Spirit have shown up for practice at the R. O. Unit Will Take Part In Armistice Day Parade first meeting. Under the direction of Leland C. McAuly, club adviser, the following officers were elected: First Lieutenant Harrison M. Bains was elected president; Sec¬ ond Lieutenant Charles W. Snitzer, Jr., vice-president, and Second Legion to take part in the parade Lieutenant ‘ Mills S^ ^ Hodge was and has accepted the invitation. The entire unit will march in the parade in full uniform, and will take part in the ceremonies at Memorial Park. Rifle Teams Practicing According to Sergeant Morgan, who is in charge of the national 1 high school rifle team and the Ninth corps area R. О. T. C. rifle Emphasizing the need for every one to be true to his nature, Mr. Hattersley gave an interesting lec¬ ture last Tuesday in 200-C. Mr. Hattersley’s subject was “Religi¬ ous and Ethical Problems of Jun¬ ior College Students.” He said that religion was natural, and that every student should adopt the re¬ ligion which best suited his nature. Out on the gridiron the team hears the old school song and a new spirit seems to creep into every man. “Hear that band gang? Its pulling for you and so is every person in that cheering section.” “Lets show ’em we can fight!” “Get low and charge ’em out gang and we’ll show the band we can do just as well as they can.” Before the dismayed eyes of the rival team’s supporters the Bull¬ dogs charge down the field, rip ping the opponent’s line to shreds. There is no stopping them as they chalk up yard after yard. The music of the band is still in their ears and they can hear the line: “Fightfellows, fight and we will win this game!” Game Is Won The game finally ends with Pasadena leading by a touchdown. The students wonder what caused that fourth quarter attack, but few realize what gave the added stimulus that was necessary. The coach knows though and he congratulates Mr. Parker, the con¬ ducted upon the work of the band. The fact that this band is wholly volunteer and is only able to prac¬ tise during advisory does not seem to keep it from reaching a high state of efficiency. The band is wholly mode up of civilians and is in no way connected with the R. О. T. C. Much credit is due to Mr. Parker for his unselish ef¬ fort in perfecting a band of which we may be proud. It has been reported that the band will be equipped with stun¬ ning new uniforms which will add to its appearance and will cast much glory upon P. H. S. local gallery. At present both teams are practicing together and, according to the sergeant, the prac¬ tice together has been very good. Several of last year’s men on both teams have returned, and the ser¬ geant expects to build up two win¬ ning teams with these men as a nucleus. Sergeant Morgan stated that al¬ most every person out for the teams is a member of the R. O. T. C. He said that to be on the national rifle team a member does not have to belong to the Reserve Officers Corps and, accordingly, he wants more boys from the physical education departments to try out for the team. elected secretary and treasurer The club is composed of about twenty members who are all offi- the local В.

Dorothy Se- crest, president; Constance Bennet, vice-president; Geraldine Ander¬ son, secretary, and Gertrude Hen- gerer, treasurer, are the officers, and received the pins which they will keep as long as they are in office. This presentation was followed by short talks by Mildred Morri¬ son, Margaret Jewell and Eliza¬ beth McCullough, each of whom has been president of the league at some time. Colonel White, commander of izing the organizer of the “Platts- sburg System” of the R. О. T. C., the system now in use, Col White called him one of America’s great¬ est military leaders. He also at¬ tributed the military preparedness of the nation to the work of Gen. Wood. Col. White served with Gen. Wood in the Philippines Military acadamy. Mr. Summers, Y. M. C. A. di¬ rector, concluded the program with a talk on football experiences, tell¬ ing of the types of teamwork that invariably wins. Fire Prevention Week Observed In Pasadena cers in the local unit. After the election the club dis¬ cussed a theater party, but this “Pasadena city schools are play¬ ing their part in keeping Pasadena fire loss at $.32 per capita which is among the best in the U. S.
