GRID BATTLE SLATED FOR TOMORROW Vol. XXVIII Pasadena, California, October 16, 1936 FIRST CLUB PERIOD TO BE TODAY No. 6 Rally To Be Given At Park Traditional Bonfire Will Precede Compton Game DANCE^TCT FOLLOW Parade To Follow Rally And Lead To Hop In Gym Tournament Park is to be the scene of the annual football rally and bonfire, to be held tonight at 7:30, as a prelude to the Compton vs. Pasadena junior college grid¬ iron struggle scheduled for the Rose Bowl tomorrow night, spon¬ sored by the pep commission under the leadership of Jack Page, head of the organization. This rally is traditionally held before the annual “grudge” game against Long Beach. But, due to the fact that the Pageant of Prog¬ ress is to be held as a curtain raiser for the Long Beach game this year, the date of the bonfire has been advanced one week. On the program for the pep rally will be James P. O’Mara, dean of men, and Bob McNeish, varsity coach. These men are the speakers of the evening and will talk on football and related subjects, ac¬ cording to Page. Also on the pro¬ gram will be the yell and song leaders, who will introduce a new song and chant to the students. As the concluding feature of the rally, the bonfire will be lit. For the past several days, the Lancers un¬ der the direction of their president, Jimmy Couchman, have been col¬ lecting wood for the fire, and have been piling it up in the park. Thursday night as they guarded the completed pile against a pos¬ sible raid from a rival campus, the Spartans, women’s service organi¬ zation, served them coffee and sandwiches. Following the rally will come the automobile parade. Starting from the park, the parade will move west on California street to Lake ave¬ nue, north on Lake avenue to Colo¬ rado street to the memorial flag¬ pole and then directly back to this campus. Parade lines will form in front of the park, and there will be a motorcycle police escort, ac¬ cording to Page. At 8:30 tonight, following the bonfire and the parade, will come the rally dance. The dance is to be held in the men’s gym and is open to any student upon presenta¬ tion of the student body card. “The spirit shown by the student body in backing up past activities of this sort has been excellent,” said Page. “With Mr. McNeish as a speaker, and the song and yell leaders in attendance, we hope to develop a spirit in the student body that will inspire them to support the foothball game tomorrow night in full force.” Chartered by the pep commission (Continued on Page Three) Install Heads At AWS Tea For the purpose of installing the new A. W. S. officers, Miss Catherine J. Robbins, A. W. S. adviser, held a tea for the board and cabinet, at the Hotel Vista del Arroyo, last Tuesday. Miss Ida E.

The new cabinet members are senior, Dorothy Bonner and Kay Cauble; junior, Shirley Smith and Mildred Schmertz ; sophomore, Phyllis Wilson and ВеЦу Wilcox; freshman, Barbara Whitelaw and Jean Ford; negro girls, Hortense Ellis; Japanese girls, Jessie Ko- yama; W. A. A., Jean Bobo; and Y. W. C. A., Mary Alice Whiel- don. As yet a representative for the nurses has not been chosen. Eloise Jones, Spartan president, was also present. According to Carolyn Munn, A. W. S. president, this is an annual affair, and it is not only a business meeting but a time for the A. W. S. representatives to meet socially. TRIPLE T WILL HOLD RECEPTION The Triple “J” club of Pasadena junior college will hold its semi¬ annual reception for new students on Fridav evening, October 16, at the Garfield school auditorium at 7:30 o’clock. Committee chairmen planning the affair under the general chair¬ manship of Seesue Fujimoto, vice- president of the club, are hall, Tachv Walciji; refreshments, Mary Takeuchi; and entertainment, Jim¬ mie Kirita. Plans Made For Dedication Of Junior College Buildings With the Horace Mann building on the road toward completion, and the Jane Addams and Louis Agassiz structures already occupied for five weeks, dedication of the latter two buildings, and the laying of the cornerstone of the first, will take place on the junior college campus, on the afternoon of November 10, according to Courtenay Monsen, secretary to the Board of Education. Students, patrons and the gen¬ eral public will be invited to at¬ tend the ceremony, which will probably be held on the Horrell field bleachers, according to ten¬ tative plans for the affair, as an¬ nounced by Mr. Monsen. Plans for the ceremony are under considera¬ tion by the Board, but they have not yet been made official. Follow¬ ing the ceremony on the field there will be a procession to the actual site of the cornerstone laying. The occasion is to be a part of the activities planned by the Pasa¬ dena city schools to celebrate Na¬ tional Education Week, which is set aside each year for the benefit of the public school by the Presi¬ dent of the United States. In regard to National Education Week, Mr. Monsen said, “The dedication of the two buildings, and laying of the cornerstone for the third will be the highlight of the Pasadena observance of Na¬ tional Education Week. The cele¬ bration will give the key for the week’s activities. Though no defi¬ nite plans have been set as yet, it is highly probable that the pro¬ gram for the ceremony will be .appropriate to the occasion. There will probably be speakers of prom¬ inence and music. Since the pro¬ gram is essentially for the students of Pasadena junior college, every effort will be made to give them something which will be interest¬ ing to them, and worth their re¬ membering,” he concluded. Guests at the affair will include WPA officials, the architects of the plant, the contractors and Board members. The assembly is to be held on the bleachers of the football field so that a large crowd can be accommodated, and to in¬ sure the use of the public address system. Pasadena usually observes Na¬ tional Education Week in the spring of the year, at the same time as other California cities, but due to the dedication of the buildings coming in the fall, the week will be celebrated earlier than usual. Class Dance Plans Made With Don Cave’s orchestra cho¬ sen to furnish the music for the affair, plans for the sophomore dance have been definitely set, ac¬ cording to Dick Balch, class presi¬ dent. The Gold room of the Civic auditorium is the place picked for the occasion, which is to take place on October 30, Hallowe’en eve. Tentative plans for the theme in¬ cluded “Halloween,” “Swingtime” and “Indians.” Chairmen of the various committees working on the program will be announced next week. The final list of members of the sophomore council, which Dick Balch compiled last week, in¬ cludes David Bowman, Barbara Patten, Patty . Rosborough, Mary Weiser, Ramona Martin, Helen Davidson, Don Ackerman, Bob Stapleton, Bill Hoy, Howard Har¬ well, Rachel Williams, Bob Dick¬ inson, Bruce Jessup, George Clute, Bette Wight, Merilyn Nutt, Eliza¬ beth Lucas, Eveleth Clark, Elea¬ nor Thomas, Rosalind Metcalf, Hollis Adams, Clarence Black, Barbara Burtt, Bob Coates, Henry Swafford, Pete Kingsberry, Bill O’Connor, Howard Morgridge, Andy Nelson, Roger Lierny, Rose¬ mary Snipes, Bill Granis, Stell- anne Lotz, Jeanette Eastman, Helen Parker, Dorothy Sheedy, Katherine Meverden, Phyllis Wil¬ son, Betty Wilcox and Mary Ann Moss. “C” CLUB ELECTS NEW OFFICERS Meeting last Friday afternoon at the home of Miss J.

Schedule For Debate Team Is Announced Returning Team Members Told By Earl Davis, Coach Of Squad Phil Cartwright, George Hatch, Franklin Patterson and Dillon Glen- dinning, are the returning debaters from last year’s debating class, according to Earl Davis, debate coach. Since Glendinning is a re¬ turning graduate, he will be in¬ eligible as an active member, but will be eligible for all non-confer¬ ence meets and non-school affairs.

List¬ ing the probable program for the coming year he said, “The week preceding Thanksgiving, a debate tournament will be given by the Western Association of Speech, on Monday, extending through to Wednesday afternoon of that week. This debate will include only the junior and senior college debaters. Having no geographical restric¬ tions, competing teams from Utah, Arizona, Oregon, Washington and practically covering the Western States, will attend.” Probable plans may mature, Mr. Davis continued, for a national debate tour of the “National Phi Rho Pi Club,” meeting in Long Beach sometime near Easter vaca¬ tion. The Chamber of Commerce and Pasadena junior college, as well as the othre Southern Calif¬ ornia junior colleges, will provide the entertainment for all contes¬ tants.
