No. 7 VOL. XIV PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, OCT. 20, 1922 STUDENT COUNCIL DISCUSSES MANY . VITAL SUBJECTS Chairmen of Committees Tell of Plans for Vaudeville Given Wednesday NO GUARDS IN CORRIDORS “Ready-for-College” Club Plans Are Prepared by Members of Student Council Decisions vital to Pasadena High School were reached in last week’s ; Student Council meeting. Robert Moore, member of the Stu¬ dent Council, reported the results of the vote on the guard system in the halls as follows: For 135; against ^ 1365. This is a large majority, but it was brought out that everyone must , continue to work with the same spirit which has so far been shown through¬ out the school year to keep all halls clear whenever there are classes in session. He also requested that stu¬ dents should not take things to eat in¬ to the assembly hall, because the papers and refuse clutter the floor and give a very bad impression to visitors. Eunice Mannheim, president, report¬ ed a decided improvement during the first part of the week in regard to careless absence and tardiness. Frances Hayes, Commissioner of .. Entertainment, announced the vaude¬ ville performance that was given Wed¬ nesday. Hilda Barrett, of the Student Council, told of the organization of the “Ready-for-College” Club. This is to be an organization similar to the “Go-to-College” Club of last year. Warren Scoville explained why the plan for the club appealed to him from a boy’s point of view. He said the average student does not think of college when he enters high school, and therefore many of his grades are not recommended, and his course may not prepare him for college. Then, in his Senior year, or maybe before, he realizes he must have more credits to graduate. He said there are many students in that sad plight every year. Mr. Clifton, Registrar of the school, showed the values of such an organ¬ ization. He explained how it would keep the college ahead of all its mem¬ bers as an aim for their high school work. “If you receive a ‘three’ in some subject, see your teacher and find out what you can do to get a recommended grade before it is too late and you are forced to repeat the subject. When students get recom¬ mended grades and go on to higher institutions of learning, they should keep up their fine work and remember . that P. H. S. can have that privilege of giving recommended grades only as long as the record is good.” Mr. Clif¬ ton stated that catalogues of most of the colleges P. H. S. students go to may be found in the library. Ques¬ tions which may arise will be gladly answered by Mr. Clifton. PROGRAM FOR COMMERCE STUDENTS To give supplementary information from those who are at the top, J. A. Anderson, head of the Commercial de¬ partment, announces two noon hour addresses for commercial students, the first to be on Tuesday, the 24th, when Prof. Emery Olsen, assistant di¬ rector of the U. S. C. Commercial de¬ partment, will speak to Juniors and Seniors only. On October 31, the vice-president of the Union Bank and Trust Co., of Los Angeles, Mr. J. C. Lipman, will talk on “Credits and Collection”. POMPONS WILL BE SOLD ON CAMPUS TODAY FOR HOLLYWOOD GAME Sale Will Be Held in Front of School Before Every Game. Price is 15 Cents “Every student should buy a pom¬ pon,” was the statement made today by Miss Edith Peterson, who is in charge of the pompon sale. The pompons will be on sale every Friday noon when there is a game, and one way in which all students can help the team' to win is to show their sup¬ port by buying a pompon and then going to the game and using it. “I wish the students would wear one out every game,” concluded Miss Peter¬ son. PRESENT CONSTITUTION FAVORED BY BEGINNERS Jack Surway was elected Athletic representative for the beginning Freshman class during the meet¬ ing held in the auditorium first advis¬ ory period last Tuesday. The constitution was read and ap¬ proved without amendment. The need for an energetic 9-1 class was pointed out by the President, Her¬ bert Packard. UPPER FRESHMEN ELECT OFFICERS IN ASSEMBLY As a result of the division of the Freshman Class, th'e 9-2’s held a meet¬ ing in the Music Hall during the first advisory period last Friday to elect officers.

MAGNAVOXIS SUCCESSFULLY USED AT GAME Radio Outfit Designed Which Can be Carried About to Fur¬ nish Music at Games At the game with Franklin last Friday, a magnavox, or voice ampli¬ fier, was used by the yell leader to an¬ nounce the cheers. This proved to be so successful that Archie Ekdale, president of the Radio Club, has de¬ cided to use it at the Hollywood game today and at all other games. In order to take away the rasping sound of the amplifier, a six-foot horn will be used. The Radio Club is designing a radio apparatus which will be mounted on a board and easily carried about. Archie Ekdale expressed the hope that they would be able to receive musical numbers between quarters at the game. * * * * * sf: * * * * * * ^ * * * % * * * YOUNG SCRUB, IGNORANT * * AND GREEN, DISCOVERS * * NOVEL YELL RALLY * * While slowly wandering down * * the ihall, a young Freshman was * * disturbed from his dreams by a * * big commotion in one of the class * * rooms. * * Sneaking up to the door he put * * his shell-pink ear to the key hole * * and got an earful. * * “Rah, raih, rah,” hp heard from * * the lips of those seeking educa- * * tion. * * “What can the matter be,” * * quoth he, in alarm, “do they have * * classes in yelling here?” * * A few hours later the snooping * * Freshie entered the room of mys- * * tery and spied on the board: * * Spanish conjugation in the sub- * * junctive, ra, ras, ra, ramos, rais, * * ran. * REHEARSALS FOR FOOTBALL COMEDY, “ВИЛЛЕ/’ BEGUN BY KIWANIS CLUB Gilmor Brown, Community Play¬ house Manager, is Direct¬ ing the Cast Because the Kiwanis Club of Pasa¬ dena has voted to present $1,500 worth of trophies for thte promotion of school athletics, a comedy entitled “Billie” is to be given by the club in the High School auditorium on the 8th and 9th of November.

TALENT Miss Elizabeth Keppie, Head of Dramatics to Direct Acting Personally FIVE HUMOROUS DRAMAS Predicted to Rival Productions of Last Semester; P. H. S. Critics Agree The evening dramatic events for the year have all been planned. Dates have been set, rehearsals are in pro¬ gress, and the advertising has been ar¬ ranged. Everything has been reduc¬ ed to a systematic schedule, according to Miss Elizabeth Keppie, chairman of the Dramatic committee. The first play of the year will be put on by the Mask and Mirror, the dramatic club of P. H. S., on Novem¬ ber 17, and will come as a big sur¬ prise to the drama going students. This production will be followed by a play in December. This drama will be given by the players that gave the Christmas play which was put on last year and will be remembered by the students who were here as a great success. The third play is to be given by the Junior Class sponsored by Miss Dora A. Atkinson. Last year the Junior Class produced “Clarence” and this is a foretaste of what can be ex¬ pected from this year’s Junior Class. This is to be followed by the Glee Clubs with a production that will rival “Pinafore,” the opera given last year. The fifth and last number will be giv¬ en by the Senior Class which is to be the biggest hit of the year and will perhaps be better than “Daddy Long Legs” which is predicting a great deal. These plays will be under the per¬ sonal direction of Miss Keppie, and will be staged in Pasadena High School’s own auditorium. The faculty dramatic committee is composed of: Chairman . Miss Elizabeth Keppie Publicity . Russell M. Guthridge Props . Miss Ethel Louise Norton Chaperonage and Music . . Miss Edith M. Wolfe Stage . T. E. Morrissey Junior Play.. --Miss Dora A.
