IN READINESS FOR
IE
Final Touches Being Put On
Elaborate Entertainment for
Thursday and Friday
Everything is in readiness for the
vaudeville show which is to be given
tomorrow and Friday nights in the
High School auditorium, under the au¬
spices of the Parent-Teachers’ Asso¬
ciation.
A glance at the program is enough
to make anyone feel sure that the en¬
tertainment will be a great success.
“Pantaloons,” a one-act fantasie, by
Sir James Barrie, will be staged with
such well-known amateur Thespians
as Clark Cook and Beth Frost in the
cast. Mrs. L. H. Turner will appear
in a reading, while the High School
harmony trio will add some artistic
touches in the musical line. The High
School orchestra will also appear for
the first time this season.
Tickets are selling fast for this show
and indications are that a crowded
house will view both performances. A
uniform price of 25 cents has been set
as the admission price.
FACULTY ENTERTAINED
AT BROOKSIDE FRI-
Dusky Instructors Crack An¬
cient Jokes and Sing Songs
of Youth Before Audience
By Lois Miller
If any of you were so fortunate as
to have been in the vicinity of Brook-
side Park last Friday, you might have
seen a strange and startling sight —
the honored members of the Faculty
all on their “high horse”. The occasion
was a “weinie” roast given by the Eng¬
lish, History, Commercial and Science
departments. All the members of the
faculty were there, including the wives
of those who possessed them.
The tables were daintily decorated
for the supper, and the men dolled up
in white caps and aprons, served. Can
you imagine some of our stately men
of learning gorwned as waiters and
serving weiners hot from the coals?
After the supper the great surprise
came in the form of a minstrel show.
Under the dark and dusky faces you
could hardly recognize Mr. French, Mr.
Foster, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Carson, Mr.
McDonald, and Mr. Lewis, with Mr.
Batkin as interlocutor.
They were greeted with much ap¬
plause and hilarious laughter. After
an opening song, Mr. Foster rendered
a charming selection on the violin,
with Mr. French accompanying on a
minute piano. Mr. Bakin proved his
voice was quite as good- for singing as
for speaking, when he rendered one
of the popular Ford songs.
As it was getting quite dark about
this time, someone suggested that they
have a little light on the subject. The
interlocutor proposed an Israelite, so
Mr. Meub in this capacity entertained
the audience for some time with a hu¬
morous monologue.
Then followed more songs, including
“I Didn’t Raise My Dog to Be a Sau¬
sage,” and other equally elevating dit¬
ties.
The program ended with a clog dance
by Mr. Lewis, and the closing chorus
of “My Old Kentucky Home”.
Mr. Jackson, who was to have been
one of the performers, was taken sud¬
denly ill, and although several impro-
visions were necessary, the program
was none the less enjoyable.
PASADENA ELEVEN PLAYS
CLIFF-DWELLERS ON
L
First Game Out of Pasadena
and Second in League Series
On Fast Field
See the Hand-colored Mission Pic¬
tures at Johnson’s. — Adv.
By RALPH HOSLER
Next Saturday on Manual field,
Pasadena tangles with L. A. High, one
of the strongest teams in the League.
Make our slogan for this week
“LET’S GO TO L. A. HIGH.”
A mighty game is expected, the
two teams being built practically
along the same lines, both being fast
and light, with many trick plays to
uncork should the occasion arise.
The Crown City ’Varsity has the
edge on the game. Long Beach bat¬
tled L. A. to a tie, and on the same
day P. H. S. defeated Manual. Last
Saturday Manual tied Long Beach.
Thus the dope favors the Red and
White ’Varsity as the logical candi¬
date for victor. But under no condi¬
tions will it be an easy game. L. A.
has a backfield that gains yards by
nines and tens, and their line is built
like a stone wall.
P. H. S., however, is there m a
pinch. Their comeback is like Pick¬
ett’s Charge, and they are the most
terrible fighters in the League. Get
behind the team, and show them that
your heart is in the right place. This
year P. H. S. possesses a champion¬
ship team, but they cannot bring
home the championship without your
hearty, whole-souled support.
Saturday, at 2:10, a special will leave
Pasadena, which will take you directly
to the field. Let’s S(ee all of you on
that special, brimful of spirit and en¬
thusiasm, andi prepares to root for the
team, whether she win or loose.
Our cry, “LET’S GO TO L. A.
■HIGH.”

GRADUATES
Committee Chooses Many De¬
signs But Are Unable to
Find Anything to Fit
During assembly period last Wed¬
nesday, the Seniors held a meeting at
which time several minor changes in
the constitution were made, including
the restriction of membership to those
having ten and one- half credits and
who intend to graduate with the class.
The committee appointed to select
the new class pin made a report, pre¬
senting their idea of an appropriate
emblem to the class. The design, how¬
ever, did not meet with the immediate
approval of the class. Miss Sabel
spoke of the great importance of se¬
lecting a pin which all were satisfied
with, and which the coming Senior
classes would be glad to adopt as
their own.
The approach of the third period
caused the meeting to come to a
speedy close and the matter was laid
on the table until the next meeting.
Before that time it is hoped that the
committee may find a design which
will meet with the approval of the en¬
tire class.

GOACR CARSON GRIND¬
ING OUT FINE DEBATE
MATERIAL
Tryout Debates Eliminating All
But Best Debaters to Rep¬
resent Pasadena
Although football is to a large ex¬
tent holding the interest of the Student
Body, there is another activity which
is arousing considerable interest and
promises to arouse more enthusiasm
in the near future. This activity is
debating.
With the entire squad putting every
ounce of energy into their work, Car-
son is developing debaters that will be
worthy of representing the Cardinal in¬
stitution. .
At present it is impossible to choose
the teams that will argue for P. H. S.
There are two persons who have been
of great assistance to Carson in the
developing of the debaters — Henry and
Batkin. Although extremely busy with
his business duties, Henry has found
time to act as judge for the squad de¬
bates and lend his assistance in other
ways. Butkin has also been very will¬
ing to help the squad whenever his
other duties permit.
Commissioner Weaver and Manager
Lilley are confident that P. H. S. will
win the championship. In speaking of
the chances for annexing the “rag,”
Weaver said, “I see no reason why
Pasadena should not cop the flag, if
every member of the Student Body
supports the team the way they should.
Debating is a Student-Body activity
and should be supported with the same
enthusiasm as any other.
INTERESTING SLIDES
Mysteries of Carborundum Ex¬
plained at Meeting of En¬
gineers’ Club Last Week
At the Engineers’ Club meeting last
Tuesday, a series of slides was thrown
on the screen showing the manufacture
of carborundum, which is now being
extensively used for sharpening tools
of all kinds. The slides depicted the
manufacture of this commodity from
gathering the raw material to the fin¬
ished product. Accompanying . the
slides was a lecture on them given by
George Whitworth, the president of the
club.
It was decided by the members that
the dues should be changed to 15 cents
a year and 10 cents a semester.
The club intends to have many lec¬
tures with slides and motion pictures
showing different phases of engineering
work throughout the year, and plans
to make this organization one of the
best of any student activities.

xy Fresh this
and under the
In a practice game full of hard, fast
playing, the Oxy Fresh downed the P.
H. S. Varsity by a score of 7 to 3. The
Frosh made their touchdown by a for¬
ward pass, the only way they had of
making yards. Pasadena several times
rushed the ball to Oxy’s five yard line,
but lacked the punch to carry it over.
Although the loss of “Big Jawn" Mc-
Conaghy and “Tuffy” Conn was keenly
felt, the Pasadena lads were better on
the offensive than Oxy. On the other
hand Oxy repeatedly made long for¬
ward passes, successfully, Pasadena be¬
ing unable to break them up. McClin-
tock of the Froshes was the only man
to gain through the P. H. S. line, the
other backs making their gains around
end or on a forward pass. Captain
Brant Gard played a rushing game
and was responsible for most of Pasa¬
dena’s big gains.
The Red and White
weak on the defence,
plays get by, which-<
stopped. However, tlfl
year are some team",
guidance of Sid Foster they have de¬
feated the bqst prep. team in the
south. Manual Arts, L. A. High and
the rest of first rank prep, teams have
fallen before this fast freshmen team,
loosing by decisive scores. San Ber¬
nardino was defeated by the over¬
whelming score of 96 to 0. They had
a hard job keeping Pasadena from
scoring, and in the third quarter Brant
Gard put a drop kick neatly between
the goal posts for Pasadena’s only
score.
Pasadena not to be outdone by the
Frosh, showed them some real football.
Gard, Bedall, Moore, Lavignino, Schlau-
deman and DeHuff pulled off some
tackles and ran interference that made
Sid Foster and his team sit up and
take notice. This is the smallest score
the Oxy Fresh have made this year,
which goes, to prove that Pasadena has
some team this year — and some Coach.
The line-up:
Pasadena. Oxy.

Last Tuesday ■ the Commercial Club
held its first meeting of the year at
which time the Junior Board of Trade
was elected and several short addresses
delivered by the faculty of the Com¬
mercial Department.
Mr. Lewis spoke about the possibili¬
ties of the Commercial Club, its activi¬
ties, the Junior Board of Trade, its
work, and what it represents.
Throughoutout the year speakers of
prominence who spend the winter
months here will deliver addresses,
while others will be local men
who have gained prominence in their
line of work. Mr. Lewis also stated
that those who were elected to the
Junior Board of Trade held responsible
offices and that it should mean a great
deal to be elected to that office.
The members of the Junior and Seni¬
or Board of Trade will be the guests
at the annual Commercial Club ban¬
quet. The Junior Board of Trade will
have charge of the Commercial Club
float in the New Year’s day parade and
will represent that organization.
Miss Flint, Mr. Thurston and Mr.
Mueb then addressed the students tell¬
ing them what they expected the club
to do this year. Mr. Mueb said that
in Santa Ana the only thing the Com¬
mercial Club did there was to arrange
for dinners and a good time. He was
much surprised when he found out
that the club was really a strong and
active organization doing a practical
work.
Next on the list came the election of
the Board of Trade. All nominees
were called to the platform where Mr.
Lewis introduced them. The club then
'oted on the candidates, electing the
foUmvin^: Arvid Hellberg, Harold
e^af^VB^tterworth, Grayce Brisley, Bernice
)eftn;rfaead, Marion Reinick, Wynn Hayes,
Leslie Craemer, Lester Groetzinger, De
Witt Macey.
After a short meeting the Junior
Board elected Harold Butterworth,
president; Marion Reinick, vice-presi¬
dent; Grayce Brisley, secretary, and
Arvid Hellberg, treasurer. With these
officers the Commercial Club should
be larger and better than ever before.

AMERICAN MORE POPULAR THAN
RUGBY
American football is more popular
than rugby with California students,
if the gate receipts may be taken as
indicative of anything. At the first
two games of rugby $569.50 was real¬
ized; at the first two games under the
old game rules the gate yielded $674.50,
a difference in favor of the American
game of $105. — Quaker Campus.
CHARITY CLUB HOLDS
SUCCESSFUL SALE
Officers of New Organization
Elected and Twelve Active
Members Decided Upon
Many persons who bought candy at
the Jane Adams Building last Thurs¬
day did not know what they were aid¬
ing a new organization in a philan¬
thropic cause.
As yet no suitable name for this or¬
ganization has been selected, as none
suggested meet the requirements. This
organization has been created for the
purpose of rendering help to those that
need it. Its work is limited: to philan¬
thropic purposes, but it is to cover ail
phases of it.
Especially at Christmas will the
work be carried on extensively, since
the club has charge of several families
including about thirty children for
whom clothing, toys and food will be
provided. The club intends to have
more sales in the future, and by un¬
tiring work of each individual they
intend to raise enough money to meet
all demands made upon them.
At a recent meeting the following
officers were elected: Margarite Fel¬
lows, president; Hilda Rhodes, vice-
president; Isabelle Helm, secretary-
treasurer. The club is limited to twelve
active members.
