H. S. varsity met the Oxy Frosh team and defeat — 12-6. While the score looks bad, the game was closer than it indicates and the points that the Tigerlettes got were made against a team composed largely of new jnen. The purpose of Coach Carson in playing this game was to weed out the fellows who have show¬ ed up well in practice but who might go to pieces in a big game, and his plan worked well. Though the Pea-green team was pounds heavier than the Bulldog line¬ up, and though it was composed main¬ ly of experienced players, Pasadena held them well from the beginning and the Frosh had to fall back on one play to gain any ground. The tandem, worked by the half ton backfield, smashed thru several times until Boorey got the hang of it — then it got all tangled up in itself and refused to work. The touchdown that Pasadena scored came from Kemp. 'On Oxy’s 40 yard line he in¬ tercepted a forward pass and carried the pigskin thru half of the Peagreen team to her 10 yard line. In the scrimmage, Wally passed to Schlau- deman who carried it over the line. Neither team tried to convert. Whatever the results of the game, three men were discovered — real players. Boorey, Hoff and Baldwin, new varsity material this year, are expected to fit right in with the vet¬ erans on Friday to turn out a win- ning team. was: Pasadena Franciscus The line-up for the game Oxy Frosh LER Tabor LTR Deems Simson LGR Pittman Baldwin C Van Vorst Von Mohr RGL Coleman Beerey RTL Huston Kemp REL Sayre Hoff Q McKeen Cline LHR Storvant Eliot RHL Isenberg Riddle F Curtis Substitutions: McLaughlin for Ta¬ ber, Jardine for Simpson, Schlaude- man for Hoff, Chisholm for Cline, Fouche for Eliot, Ash for Riddle. SALTEATER REPRESENTA¬ TIVES MAKE VISIT TO PASADENA Although Long Beach may be our enemy End counts the days until they are able to dampen our football spirits, both school are always on friendly terms. To prove the fact, a delegation of “Beach Combers” were our guests last Thursday. The object of this little visit was to exchange ideas concerning the different lines of work in the school. The visitors included four of their commissioners, the president of the Girl’s League, and the president of the “Girl’s Self- Government Organization!” They were entertained in a manner be¬ fitting our greatest school rival. \The delegation made special men¬ tion of the fact that our faculty seem¬ ed so kind in their welcome. The spaciousness of our buildings and grounds also impressed them. A fine spirit on both sides was shown End P. H. S. hopes to accept the in¬ vitation of a visit to Long Beach High School. The Pasadena fellows who are in the Ambulance Corps at Allentown undergoing intensive training expect to leave for France in the near future. There have been a few rumors current that they will not leave until spring but nothing has been decided upon, and of course everything is mere con¬ jecture. However they have about completed their training End it would not he a surprise if they were shipped off in a week or so. Pasadena High School is well rep¬ resented in the Ambulance Corps. There are about thirty of our fellows who were to have graduated hut an¬ swered the country’s first call instead: Kenneth Feussle, last years Commis¬ sioner of Publications, Ralph Hosier of literary fame, Ed. Culbertson, Sen¬ ior Class President, Gene Corey, foot¬ ball star, Chester Pearman, Howell Smith, Joe Welsh, Kenney de Huff, Clark Bogardus, and many others. - о — - - DEBATERS PREPARING FOR FIRST BIG TRYOUT Coach Not Chosen as Yet But Material Plenty? Question Picked Along with the organization of all the other student activities for the new year, comes the gathering of the forces for debating. A meeting for all aspirants in this line was held Thursday after school. There were representatives present from each class — from the timid freshman to the grave seniors. Paul Hamilton, Com¬ missioner of Debating, presided over the assemblage and explained the situation as it stands at present. The general question to be used in the first try-out is, “Resolved: that the government should give an ade¬ quate supply of coal at a reasonable price.” As yet the coach has not been de¬ cided, but it is hoped that someone will be found to satisfactorily fill Mr. Carson’s place. The first try out will be held about October 25. Wjth several former team members and lots of new ma¬ terial out, the prospects for a success¬ ful season look very promising. With the support and co-operation of the student body debating should he a greater success this year than ever. - о - - MISS WOLFE IS ELECTED TO PRESIDENCY OF CLUB Pasadena High School feels proud of the honor conferred upon one of her teuchers when Miss Edith Wolfe of the English Department, was un¬ animously elected president of the Browning Club, one of Pasadena’s leading literary organizations. The Browning Club is also fortunate in having as its president a person who brings so much to the them. Mjiss Wolfe is a graduate of the norm¬ al school Et Framingham, Mass., of Cornell University, a student in the University of Berlin, and a member of the Phi Beta Kappa. For five years she has been associated with the faculty of this school. In the past she has been press representative of theBrowning Club. - о - Occidental — “Women’s Rooter Club” organized. When school opened it looked &s tho there would be a very small rooters section on the bleachers this year; but the women of the col¬ lege have proved thmeselves equal to the occasion by organizing a rooters squad. Subjects Chosen of Unusual Interest to the Edu¬ cated Citizen Five lectures on episodes in Ameri¬ can history are to be given in the high school auditorium beginning on Thursday, October 4th, and continu¬ ing each Thursday evening thereafter until November 1st. The lectures are arranged by the Pasadena Teachers’ Association. A special rate of 15(f for a single lecture or 50<f for a season ticket will be made to teachers and students. The prices to the general public will be or $1 for a season ticket. Tickets are on sale at Davis & Prinz, or at any school building. These lectures will be delivered by Dr. Monson, F. R. G. S. of the Uni¬ versity of California Extension Divi¬ sion, who has for twenty years been an explorer, lecturer and artist. Each lecture will be illustrated with color¬ ed sterioptican slides. Dr. Monson’s lectures will be on the following sub¬ jects, “Turbulent Mexico,” “America in the Caribean,” “On the Trail of a Spanish Explorer,” “The Land of the Navajo,” and “Wonders and Perils of the American desert.” Students are especially urged to take advantage of these lectures as they are of great educational value and they will count in history W'ork. PASADENAADCLUB MEN HOLD MEETINGS AND CLEAR FOR ACTION Wilson Elected President for 1917-18; Franciscus and Jones Assist The Ad Club is again in full swing. The first meeting of the year was held last Wednesday for the purpose of electing officers for the coming year of activity. As was customary, the club was organized by the mem¬ bers of the Salesmanship and Ad¬ vertisement classes. Mr. Lewis, teacher of the classes and head of the Commercial department acted as chairman of the meeting. The meeting having been called, nominations were in order for the offices of’ president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer. The re¬ sults of the election were as follows: President — Howard Wilgon. Vice-president— Francis Franciscus Secretary-Treasurer — Emmet Jones. The president, Howard Wilson, as¬ sumed his new duties immediately. The presidents first act was the ap¬ pointing of a chairman of the press committee. Carl Steele was appoint¬ ed for this office. Other committees will be planned later. The Ad Club has in past years been one of the most successful and thriv¬ ing clubs in the school, and big things are expected of it this year. The club has, besides good officers, an active and interested membership. During past years the Ad Club has been of the greatest value to the student body since they have handled the selling of the tickets to practically all the school activities Bs well as some other outside doings. - о - - San Diego Hi: — -In her first real battle of the season the un-Mullerized San Diego football aggregation step¬ ped on Los Angeles Poly, considered one of the strong Southland teams, by a score of 27 to 0 last Saturday. The Poly team was outclassed from start to finish, being unable to hold the Southern lads except in the third quarter. JAZZ JINXTETTE IS NEW ORGANIZATION AT PASADENA HIGH FACULTY ADVISOR IS] SELECTED BY 1918 CLASS MEMBERS UNIORS TO HOLD HACK CAT" PARTY Look out, it’s loose! The “Scribes Jazz Jinxtette” is roaming around without a keep¬ er. Several days ago, it is rumored that certain members of the Chronicle staff who com¬ pose this mysterious order met in secret counsel intending to form a “Jazz” Band, but their attempts at organization result¬ ed in a new kind of club, re¬ sembling a mixture of crowing roosters, howling coyotes, and “Jazz” music. Most of the players have been identified and the local sleuths are on their trails. As far as is known they are “Mar¬ guerite Clark” Scott, pianist; “Bill Shakespeare” Muller, violinist; “St. Denis” Shawhan, mandolinist; “Julius Caesar” Garfield, flutist; “Roscoe Ar- buckle” Bleauvelt, mandolin tickler, and “Oh! Henry” Wes¬ son, cornetist. 1917 ITEMTOHAVE PEP AND EXPERIENCE AS KEYNOTE Get a good bunch of workers brim full of pep; guide this necessary asset with experience, and the result is this year’s Item Staff. Everyone is working hard with a will and this effort is expended that a magazine may be turned out that will please it’s readers, and bring honor to the school which it represents. The high standards won in the past in the literary line have paralleled those of the athletics pursuits. The editor and his associates mean to come up to these standards and feel confident that they may even surpass them. Everyone on the staff has been chosen with care and an eye to making their particular department a success. Doubtless the same question will arise as in past years, “Why do we need the Item when we have the Chronicle?” The former publication treats of the literary side of school affairs, while the latter deals entirely with the current events about the school. Mr. Morris will take care of the printing, as in the past, and the clear cut work is an asset to the finished product. Portions of the first number are already set up, so the December edition, the first of this term, will come out without postpone¬ ment. There will be five numbers of the Item this year excluding the regu¬ lar “Annual.” The staff includes: Editor — Llewellyn Gilbert. Associate Editors — Anita Scott, and Julian Woodward. Art Department — Adele De Ford, and Margaret Jamieson. Joke Editor — Dick Kern. Exchange Editor — (Fred Cohn. BIG RIVERSIDE FAIR Going to the Riverside County Fair last Wednesday, the Dairy and Farm Management classes had their first excursion of the year. The excursion took a whole day and proved worth¬ while from start to finish. For the first view of the Farm Grounds with its white buildings, gala banners, and other displays of gaiety, lent a thrill of expectation to all. Every thing received its share of attraction. There were side-shows of every description, novelty stands, hot dog kennels, games of chance where “you always win,” refreshment booths, and everything to make fun loving people happy. In the poultry show the boys took great interest in the display of chickens. The automobile show revealed many kinds of auto¬ mobiles and a few Fords, while the ; big barns of the stock show were j filled with live stock of all descrip¬ tions. Also the horse-racing was ex¬ citing, competing somewhat with Tia Juana. One Dollar Dues Chosen as Means to Replenish the Class Treasury- Due to three things, the Senior Clkss meeting of last Thursday was of great importance. These three things related to the matters of class dues, the class advisor, and the courduroy trousers. Uufortunately the next day “cords” were declared taboo End all future plans were given up. The selecting of the class advisor was done differently this year. In¬ stead of voting, a committee of three were voted upon to select the advisor. In the past advisors have been voted upon and then afterwards the teach¬ er refused to accept the position, there being many objections on the part of the teachers. The committee, made up of Robert Schlaudeman, Pauline Stanton, and Julian Wood¬ ward, selected Miss Tennis. The class dues this year will be one dollar End a large membership must be secured. Howard Wilson, the treasurer, is in the front hall this week, so join the Senior Class of 1918. FAMOUSMT SCRIBE GIVES NEWS FROM ALLENTOWN Former Football Manager Is Anxious to Hear About P. H. S. Eleven Herewith is printed an extract from an epistle from Blackie Hosier, the P. H. S. bull slinger per extraordinary to Walrus Chishohm, captain of the 1917 varsity: Section 64, U. S. A. A. S. . . Allentown, Pa. Dear Wally: — In spite of the fact that the minds of the boys of 64 are centered on the problems of an Ambulance Company, and on war, they can’t help thinking of P. H. S. and the football team. The 64th is composed mainly of High School fellows, and of late strenuous arguments have arisen . concerning the chances in football this year, and al¬ most every man says that although the team will be comparatively light, the team will show the old time fight and dash, and pull down enough vic¬ tories to cinch another championship. I see by the Star-News there will be several new men on the team this year, which I hope will boost the team’s chances along. Get those gents in moleskins to realize what it means to wear the uniform of P. H. S„ and make them scrap to a finish. Steve was here the other day, End he sure looked as, husky as ever. If he don’t make good on the Varsity at Cornell I’m a liar. You know they are going to play Freshmen on the Varsities this year, on account of the scarcity of men, caused by the war. He should make good with a venge¬ ance. Little Tuffy certainly showed these Easterners how to play the game last Saturday. Playing beside such stars as Cubbage, Penn State, All American, Irwin, Second All-Ameri¬ can team, and Beck, second All-Ameri- oan team, he pulled off runs that would make a skeletons head swim. The first time he carried the ball he stepped seventy-five yards for a touch down, but was called back because he stepped on the sidelines — tough luck. Arid again in the same quarter he got away for several long ruhs, End so on thru the game. He is still there a million. We are all pulling for you Wally old top, End will be anxious to know how the team fares in the first prac¬ tice games. Kind of let us poor gents know back here will you. We want Social Committee Working Like Trojans to Make 1919 Party Success HALLOWE’EN IS MOTIF Music Hall Is Selected for Event; Juniors Only In¬ vited to Be Present The Juniors have at last awakened from a sleep of two years and have started out on their third year of High School life with new officers and fresh enthusiasm. Soon after the election, plans were started for a Junior party. It is hoped that this affair will out do those of former years, and be a credit to the class. The social committee, appointed by the vice-president is made up of Elizabeth Russell, Mar¬ garet Frey, Dot Russell, Dean Ireland and Clifford Boorey. The committee and the officers, together with Miss Hart, the class advisor, held a meet¬ ing and decided upon a Hallowe’en party as the most appropriate for this time of year. In order to comply with the foot-ball rules which would prevent many of the boys from attending the party if it were held after Hallowe’en, the date was changed to October 26. This will be five days in advance of the thirty-first, however. As it will not conflict with the date of other social affairs, the committee feels there will be no strenuous objections. The lifferent places which Pasadena and vicinity afforded for holding a class party of this kind were carefully looked over, but the final decision fell upon the Music Hall, because of the possibilities of a rustic setting under the pergola and a stage. All the ad¬ vantages of any other place would be afforded without the inconvenience of transportation for some. It was thought best to have the first party of the year for Juniors only, while any later parties will be open to all the other clansmen. The committee is hard at work on the program which promises to be interesting and unusual. The refresh¬ ments planned are original, much time being spent in carrying out a de¬ finite table color scheme. The hearty co-operation of all the class is waited on, and as the price of the ticket is only twenty-five cents, a large crowd is expected for the Junior “Black Cat” Party. QUILL AND QUESTION HOLDS FIRST MEETING The Quill and Question Literary Society held their first meeting of the year at the home of the president, Marion Gibbs, on East California, a week ago Thursday. The first part of the evening was spent in discussing the business of the society and in the election of new members. Then re¬ freshments and a general good time was enjoyed. The new members elect¬ ed were: Lulu Brown, Marjorie Test, Marie Grassie, Margaret Jamieson, Frank Dunn, Lyle Hackney, Fred Loomis, Sterling Mueller, and Ed. Braley. the real dope— no newspaper stuff, which is usually second-hand. Our Battallion is out on a five day hike, but Kenny DeHuff and myself were left as Quarter Guards. Some snap. Kenny says, “Tell Wally I said, I sure wish I could be back there play- in gthe old game. But being as I can’t resign my job it can’t be did. Show those bush leaguers how to play the real game, and you’ll lick the stuffing out of ’em.” Yours, till Delawares Pennsylvania’s New Jersey, CORPORAL RALPH HOSLER. I
