Top Notch
Enrollment
Is Reached
High enrollment of 3941 students
fills P. J. C. to capacity, with 403
upper divisi oners and 30 lower
classmen more than last year re¬
ceiving higher education this se¬
mester.
The number has increased 159
among juniors and 247 among sen¬
iors, but freshmen and sophomores
total 801 and 822 respectively', to
surpass last year’s top notch fig¬
ures only by 21 and 10.
Since outside communities send
high school graduates to the up¬
per division, its membership con¬
tinually increases, while lower di¬
vision attains an average stability.
If any more were enrolled,
classes would have to be given late
in the afternoons and on Saturday
to accommodate the increased num¬
ber, John A. Anderson, dean of
records, ventured.
Artists Win Fame
In Southland Sets
Representatives of the local art
colony won outstanding honors
throughout the Southland last
week. The work of Frances Bax¬
ter won for her the Stickney schol¬
arship, entitling her to one y'ear’s
instruction in any type of art.
Mrs. Helen Effinger was elected
chairman of the Southern Califor¬
nia Junior College Conference, held
at Fullerton last Friday and Sat¬
urday, while Miss Jewel Bennett,
a new instructor, gained entrance
into the Water Color Society of
Southern California.
The physiology department has
a new type, Bausch & Lomb micro

Talks Will Show
Modern Problems
Any phase of the problems fac¬
ing the youth of this generation
will be suitable for discussion at
the Davis-Hall oratorical contest
December 5 during convocation
period.
Tryouts for lower division stu¬
dents will take place November 14,
while aspiring upper class talkers
will compete in preliminaries No¬
vember 15. Two contestants from
each group will be chosen to enter
the finals.
“It is not necessary for entrants
in the tryouts to memorize thei.
manuscripts,” states Mrs. Irene S.
Peters, oi-atory coach, “but all in¬
terested are urged to begin writ¬
ing at once.”
HOLD BANQUET
Quill and Scroll, journalism soci¬
ety of Muir Tech and junior col¬
lege, held its formal banquet of the
year last Friday. Don Busick, as¬
sistant sports editor, Ken Reich¬
ard, display manager, and Vernon
Yost were the new members initi¬
ated at this time.
News Channel
Undercurrents
Sparks will fly this afternoon
when the football teams of the
aviation and mechanical depart¬
ments clash in a bloody football
game on the Hill avenue field, with
possibilities of the mechanics cast¬
ing a wrench into the works.
Signs of fluttering fly-nets
propelled by glazed-eyed stu¬
dents indicate that the indus¬
trious and preoccupied mechan¬
ism is a member of Miss Mable
Peirson’s nature lore class out/
to meet the requirements for
insect collections.
Freshly painted red and white
lines, not only' patriotic but also
easily seen, mark off the spaces
allotted to cars in the school park¬
ing lot where more and more ve¬
hicles, consisting of Fords, bicycles
and Cords, can be found during
this hectic cram week.
Used as a target for pennies,
dimes, and phoney nickels, an
old Mexican gave a good exhi¬
bition of coin-hunting after a
brief accordion serenade on the
front steps Tuesday.
Department Heads
Plan Next Courses
Department chairmen are gazing
into their crystal ball to plan next
semester’s courses, which will be
announced in the program bulletin
in two weeks.
Students will look beyond foot¬
ball games and pep rallies at that
time, convening with their counsel¬
ors to make second term study
lists. Due to the large number of
enrolled here, programming has to
be begun early in the school year,
according to Miss Ida E. Hawes,
dean of guidance.
Scimath Members
Will Inspect Dam
Conducted by an engineer of the
Pasadena water department, more
than one hundred members of the
Science and Mathematics Associa¬
tion of Pasadena City Schools will
journey to San Gabriel canyon to¬
morrow to inspect the Pine Canyon
dam.
Articles displayed at the P. J. C.
bookstore now include: rings and
watches with the college seal,
school and graduation rings, tro¬
phy cups for club and other activi¬
ties, bronze statuettes representing
all types of sports, and belt buc¬
kles in new designs.
P.J.C. FOOTBALL DESTINIES
ARE LAUNCHED THIS WEEKEND
First League Tiffs for Bulldog School Are
Scheduled for Today , Tomorrow; Bees,
Uppers and Lowers Will Be Busy
League destinies of P. J. O.’s three fighting gridiron
squads will be launched this week-end when first official loop
contests for the Bulldog institution will be played... Within
the hour, lightweights will do battle with Santo Ana Bees
as a preliminary to the lower division-Saint varsity mix-up,
while upper division gridmen will meet Santa Monica on Hor-
rell field tomorrow.
UPPERS WILL MEET
SAMOJACS
Santa Monica jaysee’s buccaneer¬
ing footballers, who made South¬
ern California gridiron history by
administering to the Compton Tar¬
tars their first defeat in three
years last week, loomed as an omi¬
nous specter before the big Bull¬
dogs, as the Crimson eleven pre¬
pared to face the Corsairs on Hor-
rell field tomorrow.
For Pasadena athletic fortunes,
the game is expected to be the
most important of crucial contests,
because the footballing Pirates of
the newest Southland jaysee sud¬
denly find themselves ensconced in
a commanding position for western
division honors.
A pass, that most potent of of¬
fensive factors, spelled defeat for
the Tartars last week and served
notice that this weapon is prob¬
ably the strongest point in the Cor¬
sairs’ favor. Hence, Pasadena’s ne¬
cessity to be continually on guard
against aerial thrusts. Neither
coach nor players have yet forgot¬
ten that Ventura scored on Pasa¬
dena this way.

Faculty Will
Throw Aside
School Cares
That dignified junior college
teachers can cast aside the cares
of school as readily as do their stu¬
dents will be proved next Thurs¬
day evening, when members of the
Potlatch and Women’s Faculty
clubs will combine for merrymak¬
ing at the Altadena Country club.
Starting with dinner at 6 :30, the
evening’s entertainment will in¬
clude visits to two “broadcasting
stations,” according to O. G. Dress¬
ier, program chairman. For those
staying, cards and dancing will be
provided.

Hazel G. Long and Charles E. Syd-
nor, while Miss Jean Young, Mrs.
Hazel McNatt, Elmer Sauer, Ar¬
thur Wiley, Miss Carolyn Wood-
hull and Miss Ruth Chase make up

SANTA ANA OPPOSES
LOWER DIVISION
As the dope buckets totter pre¬
cariously on the shelf of uncer¬
tainty, the fighting Bulldogs of the
lower division will make their
first Coast league stand against
the smashing Saints of Santa Ana
high school this afternoon on the
southern gridiron.
1931 Champs
Southern California champs for
the year of 1931, the Saints are
given the long end of the odds as
they await the coming of the Crim¬
son Tide, but anything is liable to
happen in this contest. Four two-
year lettermen, who carried the
Saint banner to victory last year,
will again face the Pasadena squad.
They are Conrad, Montgomery, B.
Mitchell, and Captain Kidder, all
backfield men.
Bulldogs Are Stronger
It is very evident, however, that
the Saints will meet a much strong¬
er eleven than they faced last year
for eight experienced men will be
found on the Bulldog roster. Bur-
by, guard; Winters, guard; Hoop,
guard; Busby, fullback; Duncan,
halfback; Venegoni, tackle; Nollar,
end; and Philibosian, center, are
the men back from last year.
Venegoni, tackle, is the only one
of the aforementioned veterans
who will be confined to the bench.
At the present time his position is
being filled by Worden Nollar,
scrappy recruit from Washington
junior high school. This young
gentleman has been showing up
