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.”

the new A. W. S. officers, Miss
Catherine J. Robbins, A. W. S.
adviser, held a tea for the board

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.

sophomore council, which Dick
Balch compiled last week, in¬
cludes David Bowman, Barbara
Patten, Patty . Rosborough, Mary
Weiser, Ramona Martin, Helen

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.
Although plans for the coming
program of the debate class this
year are premature, reports from
Mr. Davis show that the class con¬
sists of twenty-five enrolled mem¬
bers, five lower and twenty upper
division classmen.
“Resolved that Congress should
have the power to enact minimum
wage and maximum hour legisla¬
tion,” is to be the debate material
for the year Mr. Davis said. 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.
Debators Patterson, Cartwright
and Hatch will, in the near future,
hold a public debate over radio sta¬
tion K. P. P. C.
