For This Semester ENTHUSIASM INCREASES Cabinet Meets to Discuss Items of Importance and to Start Association Activities ^ Organization of the Associated Student Body of the Pasadena Junior College took another big step forward when the members of the association selected their elective officers for the coming semester. At a preliminary meet¬ ing held in the auditorium, Wed¬ nesday the candidates for office were distributed in the advisories and the votes cast. Because he was unopposed as a candidate for the presidency, Louis Creveling was elected to the office and will be ably assisted by Verna Heidner, successful candidate for the office of vice-president, over Katheryn Brown. W alter Pauli and Alice Ryden, running for Secretary of Men and Secretary of Women respectively, were unopposed and were elected by the unanimous vote of the Student Body. Two better men for the offiice of Secretary of Athletics could not j possibly be found than the two that ran; however, Vay Peterson was elected by a small majority over Ed Pollack, his opponent. Dorthy Tagert, running against ! Marion Randall, for the office of Secretary of Activities, secured a small majority of votes and con¬ sequently was elected. Dallas Smyth, lone candidate for the office of Secretary of Rec¬ ords and Finance, was also unani¬ mously elected. Due to the fact that the college work is new and heavy to many, it was difficult to find numerous : Candidates for the offices. Howt j ever, it is certain that the officers that have been elected have accept¬ ed the positions with a great deal of seriousness and are showing a very cooperative spirit. The first meeting of the Cabinet was held last Monday, at which many items of great importance were discussed and many plans put under way. Under the direction of Miss Lu¬ la C. Parmley the P. H. S. and J. C. Girls’ Glee Club, formerly the Senior Girls’ Glee Club, will give a concert program, November 16 at 3:30 P. M. Programs are held every Sunday afternoon in the Carmelita Park House. Nedly Reeder and Mary McPhie will each sing a solo, Matilda Sweet will play a violin solo, and Margaret Atchinson and Marie Iliff will each play a piano solo. Another activity of the P. H. S. and J. C. Girls’ Glee Club will be the program which they will put on combined with the Boys’ Glee Club in the assembly December 9. THE BIG FOUR" GRIDIRON MENTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR P. H. 5.

ALUMNI COMMITTEE TO HELP SCHOLARSHIP FUND In connection with the executive body of the Alumni Association and with the help of Miss Ida Hawes and Roscoe Ashley, the Alumni As¬ sociation is planning a campaign to raise money for the school fund. The association is following the example set by recent graduating classes who have done much for the scholarship fund. Through the work of the class secretaries, the association plans to get in touch with each class mem¬ ber. A good deal of rivalry Ls ex¬ pected as a result to see which class will do the best toward the fund. SAFETY’ SUBJECT OF MEW CONTEST Purpose to Call Attention of Students to Extreme Care¬ lessness of Many Drivers CLOSES ON NOVEMBER 15 Miss Elma Holloway Asks That Essays be Turned In Before November Tenth PASADENA GIRLS’ LEAGUE TO ATTEND CONFERENCE At the annual conference of the Girls’ League of Southern Cali¬ fornia to be held Friday and Sat¬ urday, November 21 and 22 at Po- ■fnona High School, Pasadena High will be represented by Natalie Vin- centi, commissioner of Girls’ Wei- 1 fare and president of the Girls’ League, and by Lois Woodruff, Treasurer, accompanied by Miss 1 Nellie Greene Clarke, dean of girls. About fifty schools of Southern California are invited to the con¬ ference, which is held to bring to¬ gether the different schools for ex¬ change of ideas and discussion of Girls’ League problems. The Saturday morning session is open to any girls who can attend. Sev¬ eral car loads are expected to go from Pasadena. Last year San Diego entertained the conference, at which time Kath- rine Brown, Girls’ League presi¬ dent ’23, ’24, and Ruth Chase, secretary ’23, ’24, attended as dele¬ gates. Pasadena hopes that its invitation for next year will be ae- ■ cepted. The students of Pasadena High School and Junior College will have opportunity to mark ballots which will include presidential electors, congressman, assemblyman, six of the eighteen proposed amendments, and two of the three proposed bond issues for Pasadena. A sample ballot is given on the editorial page. Discussion of some of these questions will be taken up in the advisories, Monday, November 3. Because school assemblies will be held on Tuesday, the balloting will be held during the study period of the fourth period in the different class rooms and the library. As the state constitutional amend¬ ments and bond issues will prob¬ ably be discussed pi‘0 and con in the advisories, they need not be considered here. As all students know, regular voters vote for presidential elect¬ ors and not for the President and the Vice-President. Each state is entitled to as many electors as it has representatives in Congress, that is, in House and Senate. A majority of the whole number of electors is necessary to elect a President or Vice-President. When the Electoral College fails to select a President, the House of Repre¬ sentatives, voting by states — one vote for each state — selects the President from the three candi¬ dates that are highest. A majority of the states, that is, twenty-five, is necessary for election. If the Electoral College fails to elect a Vice-President, the Senate, by a majority vote, elects a Vice-Presi¬ dent from the two that are highest. The house as constituted at present can net elect a President, because no party has a majority of all the states. If the President is not elected by the College, on March 4 the Vice- President elect¬ ed by the Senate - will become President. RECREATION CLUB IS RAYMOND LOHSE, FORMER FORMED BY FACULTY WATERPOLO STAR, CALLED For the purpose of promoting outdoor recreation among the faculty women a “Recreation Club” has been formed to carry on various outdoor sports. ■As the Club is divided into groups who care for one sport more than another the following teachers are acting as chairmen of one special group: Miss M. Eugenia Ong of the English de¬ partment is chairman of tennis, Miss Cymbel Taylor, of household and Fine Arts department, chair¬ man of horseback riding, Miss Elizabeth Flint, of the Commercial department, chairman of rhythmic section, Miss Cora F. Simpson of Household and Fine Arts depart¬ ment, chairman of golf. For this section Miss Hazel W. Cooper of the Physical Education depart¬ ment is coaching. Miss Catherine Robbins of the Commercial de¬ partment is chairman of swim¬ ming, and Miss Muriel S. Emerson of the English department, chair¬ man of hiking. If enough teach¬ ers sign up for basket ball a team will be formed which will play the Junior College girls. Each sec¬ tion meets once a week and in this way fulfills its purpose. Raymond Lohse, ’23, a member of the sophomore class at Caltech, after undergoing an operation for appendicitis passed away at the Pasadena Hospital at noon on Fri¬ day, October 24, 1924. He was bur- Li! ried last Tuesday from the chapel of Ives and Warren. The Girls’ and Boys’ Leagues sent flow¬ ers, and many tributes and expres¬ sions of sympathy were sent by former teachers and friends. While at Pasadena High, Ray¬ mond was prominent in athletics, being captain of the water-polo team of ’23 and a prominent mem¬ ber of the swimming team on which he swam the 440 and 220. He was a member of the newly or¬ ganized Pasadena Athletic and Country Club. He also belonged to the Physical Science club, Letter- man’s club, the Hi-Y, and was a Silver P member of the Honor So¬ ciety. During vacations he served as life guard at Brookside Park. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Lulu Lohse, and two sisters, Pauline and Myrna, to whom the P. H. S. Student Body wishes to express deep sympathy. NEW GROUPING OF CLUBS WILL SHORTEN BULLETIN F0R 0LD CL0THES ш TEA WAS SERVED The 100% attendance of the meeting of the Language depart¬ ment which was held in the Mod¬ ern Language Library, Tuesday afternoon, October 21, was proba¬ bly due to the refreshments, tea and sandwiches, which were served at the beginning of the meeting by the Language Library Commit¬ tee, Miss Edna Eckersley, Miss Elinor Ross, and Miss Fannie Henion. S. B. MEMBERS TO PROFIT BY BOOKSTORE, IS PLAN For the benefit of those who are not familiar with the present poli¬ cy of the Bookstore of the Pasa¬ dena Junior College and High School, the manager, С. E. Sydnor, wishes it announced that the store is for students’ convenience and not for profit. At the end of the school year the profits of the or¬ ganization are computed and a dividend declared. This dividend is payable to members of the P. H. S. Student Body in proportion to the amount of their purchases. This is computed by the amount of money represented on the checks given out with each purchase, re¬ gardless of the amount. Demand your check from the clerks, at the Bookstore, and save them till the end of the school year. Club meetings will be announced by group members this year and not by name. W. A. Newlin j states that the “Bulletin” has not space for the constant repeating of club meetings and their place and time. The following list is the group¬ ing to date. Group I Big “P,” Girls’ Rifle Club, La Hispanola, Bauble and Bells, For¬ um, “A” and “O” (Improvement Club), and the Officers Club. Group II Girls’ Athletic Association, Com¬ merce Club, Architectural, Triple “S,” AColian, Sanskrit, Forestry, Photographic, Biology, and the Musolite Club. The first group will meet in ad¬ visory Wed., Nov. 5, and every two weeks thereafter throughout the school year. The second group will start their twice-monthly meetings on Wed., Oct. 29, and will continue for the year. Thursday advisories will be held open for class meetings, J. C., as¬ sembly, Honor Society, and the Ready-for-College Club. Club officers should keep this schedule as the “Bulletin” will not be in use for regular club meet¬ ings. Several years ago when there was no grandstand on the athletic field, the boys of this institution one day came to school in old clothes and erected temporary bleachers for the Long Beach game of the following day. Although there is a large grand¬ stand on Horrell Field today, the spirit of the old day remains, and students are asked to wear old clothes on Nov. 12 before the Long Beach game. However, a few rules must be complied with ; girls shall not dress as boys and boys shall not dress as girls, neither shall they wear their hats in classrooms. The Pasadena Fire Department gave out the statement that last year the bonfire, which was held on the night of Old Clothes Day, endangered the lives of spectators, due to a dense oil smoke. It is not known yet whether or not a fire will be permitted this year. In case it is not, B. W. Howard, head of the Physical Science depart¬ ment, is working on a plan of an electrical display. The rally will be held on Wed¬ nesday night because the coaches do not want the lightweight team unnecessarily excited on the day of the game, as they might be, were the rally the night before. The one club in the school with over fifty paid-up members , the one club in the school with a club¬ house of its own on the campus , and one of the only clubs in the school which prints a club maga¬ zine is the P. H. S. Forestry Club, which was organized several years ago with members consisting of fel¬ lows interested in forestry, hiking, and the out-doors in general. Wil¬ liam G. Kohner, member of the Science department, is club adviser. The biggest product of the For¬ estry Club at present is the form¬ ation of the “dummies” for an¬ other edition of the Forester, the club magazine, to be printed again this semester. For this purpose a meeting of club offiers and the prospective “Forester” staff was called Thursday, Oct. 23, in “The Shack,” the Forestry club-house located on the second floor of the garage-barn which stands just south of the agriculture hot-house. At this meeting statistics of printing costs were presented by George Davis, club president, to the “Forester” staff which con¬ sists of Jack Hosford, editor; Louis Creveling, art editor; and Carl Miller, Elmore Shipman, and John Moore, associate editors. The business of selling the “For¬ ester” will be in the hands of the club officers: Carl Miller, vice- president; and Tom Bowman, sec¬ retary-treasurer. The “Forester” which will be about the size of the “Item,” is not being printed for financial gain but to forward the interests of forestry and conservation. It will sell for fifteen cents which is a good deal less than enough to cover the cost of the output. For this reason associated member¬ ships in the club will be- sold to business men of the city and others interested in forest conser¬ vation. The cost of associate memberships will be fifty cents. For the purpose of calling to the attention of students the extreme carelessness of drivers, the Pasa¬ dena Safety Committee is launch¬ ing a new essay contest, in which all P. H. S. students are asked to participate. The rules of this contest are as follows : Subject — “How to Make the Streets Safe for Pedestrians.” Length — Cover all possible ma¬ terial, but condense into not more than. 700 words. Eligibility — All students of High School grades. Closing Date — November 15, 1924, (must be in the hands of Miss Holloway before November 10). Decision will.be announced as soon as possible thereafter and prize-winning essays and names of winners will be published in the downtown and school newspapers. Award — Three prizes : First, ten dollars; second, five dollars; and third, two and one-half dol¬ lars. The essays are to be written on one side of binder paper only. They may be typewritten or writ¬ ten with pen and ink. Each must have the school and home address of the writer in the upper left- hand corner of the page. Participants are placed on their honor to submit only original man¬ uscripts which they have person¬ ally prepared and written. Essays will be judged on knowl¬ edge of the subject, value of ideas advanced, clarity and simplicity of expression, and general appear¬ ance. All essays are to be banded to Miss Elma Holloway, in charge of the contest, on or before Novem¬ ber 10, in order to give ample time for looking them over. Further information may be obtained by communication with either the Pasadena Safety Committee or Chairman Hopper. Miss Holloway wishes that all essays be mailed as soon as pos¬ sible, so that no students will be disappointed by being just a trifle late as was the case in the last “College Essay Contest.” FOUR PERCENT OF FUNDS GIVEN TO HONOR SOCIETY CONDITIONS IN CHINA ARE EXPLAINED TO STUDENTS After explaining the complicated situation in China, Upton Close, well-known writer, illustrated many of his points with pictures before an audience of 1500 stu¬ dents last night in the auditorium under the auspices of the Social Science department. Conditions since 1908, the year in which the monarchy was put at an end, were gone through to the present hour, showing that rulers were constantly succeeding one another, until even now, the position of China rests on the re¬ sult of the coming battles among the three leaders. The Chinese, it was pointed out, though brave when bravery is needed, regard war as a result of the childishness of the white race. They would rather “talk it out” than “fight it out.” From the budget of the student body each year 4%, or a sum amounting to from $150 to $200 is given to the Honor Society. This sum not only pays for the Honor Society pins but partly pays the expenses of the luncheons given, and the annual excursion and banquet. All the expenses of the C. S. F. reception for the •mem¬ bers and their parents come out of this fund. Besides doing all this with their money the Honor Society sometimes has some left over, which comes back to the stu¬ dent body. For example, the score board on Horrell Field was partly furnished by the Society. Miss Kathleen Loly says that P. H. S. should be proud to admit to the extent of 4% its appreciation of scholarship. EXHIBITS INTERESTING The exhibit which was given at the Carmelita grounds last week was the work of the Boy Scouts of this city. It included radio sets, antiques, wildflowers, autographs of famous people, knots, camp¬ cooking, arrow making, and many other things which the bbys have made. This week Clifton C. Clark is ex¬ hibiting his High Sierra pictures.
