Two Chances
Replace One

dean of records.
“Students know earlier just
where they stand in their
classes,” declared Mr. Ander¬

their work.”
The new schedule also gives

REFUSES JOB

Miss Loly, After Ten Years
Of Official Service Declines
Re-election
— ♦ —
After ten years of almost contin¬
uous service as president, secre¬
tary, and chairman of collegiate
relations of the advisers of the
California Scholarship Federation,
Miss Kathleen Loly declined re-el¬
ection to any post of the organiza¬
tion at the eleventh annual meet¬
ing of the group held in the Mary
Louise tea room last Saturday.
Miss Lorraine Long, formerly
editor of the C. S. F. Bulletin, was j
elected president of the advisers j
for the coming year.
Other officers include : Miss !
Margaret Sinclair, of Fresno,
treasurer; Mr. C. Seymour, Long
Beach, registrar of eligibility;
Mrs. Alice McFadden, Franklin
high school, Los Angeles, editor of
the Bulletin. Next year’s conven¬
tion is to be held in Sacramento.
Delegates from Pasadena were
Miss Loly, Miss Sara Talbott, Miss
Mildred Wellborn, and Miss Jessie
Paxton. Representatives were pres¬
ent from U. C. L. A., U. S. C., La
Veme, and Redlands. Letters were
read from the College of the Pa¬
cific, Mills, and Occidental.
Almost 300 high schools are now
members of the federation. This
figure embraces 60 per cent of the
schools of this class in California.
Bright lights of the junior college stage will shine again
tonight with the opening presentation of the Players’ Guild
production, “Dear Brutus,” a comedy fantasy by Sir James
M. Barrie, in the auditorium.
Sir James, one of the greatest romantic writers of to¬
day, is a combination of the tricky Puck and the youthful
spirit of Peter Pan, making great contrasts in all of his char¬
acters, portraying individuals, not collections.
Lady Caroline, of the aristocracy, marries Matey, the
butler; the philanderer, Purdie, falls in love with his own
wife, whom he thinks is another
woman; and a staid, elderly mar¬
ried man, believing himself
а
bachelor, dances through the en¬
chanted forest, playing his flute.
The plot of the play deals with
nine persons at a house party, who
are intrigued by a magic wood. En¬
tering this forest on a midsum¬
mer’s eve, they are able to re-live
their lives.
The play shows what they would
have been if they had taken an¬
other turning in life. Most of them
discover that in their second chance
the same mistakes are made as in
the first, and at the end agree with
TICKET PRICES
Center section seats down¬
stairs for tonight’s production
will be priced at 50 cents.
Tickets for all balcony and side
section seats will sell for only
35 cents.
“This is the lowest price
quoted in the history of play
productions at the junior col¬
lege,” said Maurice Stanley,
business manager for “Dear
Brutus.”
J.C. Boys May Try
Whiskerino Week
“Whiskerino Week,” in which
all the boys let their whiskers
grow, may be tried before the
Long Beach game, according to
Bob Rockwood, president of the
student body. Bob received the sug¬
gestion from Yuba County J. C.
at the convention of junior college
presidents at Berkeley last week.
Other suggestions given in an
open discussion meeting Friday
evening included help in social,
athletic, and entertainment prob¬
lems. The dances that P. J. C.
gave after the basketball games
last year were approved, and sev¬
eral other schools will now follow
this custom.
Cassius when he says in “Julius
Caesar,” “The fault, dear Brutus,
lies not in our stars (but in our¬
selves that we are underlings.”
The cast for the play includes
the lead®, Beth Porter as Mrs.
Dearth, and George Keiyzers as
Mr. Dearth; Catherine Allen as
Margaret Dearth; Vivian Andre,
Mrs. Coade; Lila West, Joanna
Trout; Evelynn Bates, Lady Caro¬
line; Mildred Hanniff, Mrs. Pur¬
die; Jack Hamilton, Matey; Tom
Nicoll, Mr. Coade; and Carl Tivel,
Mr. Purdie.
With the moonlight casting a
mysterious gleam on the silvery
trees, the forest set in “Dear Bru¬
tus” lends a 'bewitching atmos¬
phere. The set was designed by
the assistant director, Miss Vir¬
ginia Steele, and painted by the
drama production class and Miss
Steele.

licity, John Ki-umm, chairman;

permit a complete new bill-of-fare
for each day, with no repetitions.
Lost and Found Department
Is Novelty Five-and- Ten Store
Almost an entire department store novelty counter
could be furnished from the conglomeration of articles in the
lost and found department. Not only are there represent¬
atives from the five-and-ten-cent store, but also things from
more moneyed sources. 4-

As a rule, losers come immedi¬
ately to the lost and found, ex¬
pecting kind souls to rush at once
with their findings to Mrs. Mabel
White, department head ; and when
they do not find their valuables,
they retreat, weeping, never to re¬
appear.
OPERA COMING
The biggest musical comedy in
the history of P. J. C. will be pro¬
duced this year by the advanced
glee clubs under the direction of
Miss Lula C. Parmley. As yet the
name of the production has not
been revealed, but a real extrava¬
ganza is promised.
