Pasadena Chronicle, October 30, 1936

NEW VO MAG TO BE ISSUED ON WEDNESDAY (ri)roniclc ATTENDANCE CONTEST TO ' START MONDAY Vol. XXVIII Pasadena, California, October 30, 1936 No. 8 Clubs Will Make Try For Prize To Last For Entire Month Of November; Weil Heads Group starts Monday Organizations’ Committee Sponsors Contest In Attendance Sponsored by the organizations committee, an attendance contest will be held among the restrictive and non-restrictive clubs on the campus, according to Bill Weil, secretary of organizations. The contest is to start next Monday, November 2, and continue for the duration of the month of Novem¬ ber. Record Kept During the contest a record of the attendance of every member of every club in the school will be kept, and the results tabulated at the end of the period of one month, by the committee. The club which has the lowest percentage of ab¬ sences, that is, the fewest absences per member, will be declared the winner. “The first aim of the contest,” said Weil, ‘is to promote a better attendance record for the junior college by creating a rivalry be¬ tween various organizations.” “Every student absence results in a lowering of the funds which the state provides the school, and penalty is inflicted on the student body as a whole, every time a stu¬ dent is absent, wheeher his excuse is legitimate or not. It is the aim pf the contest to at least help in alleviating this situation.” Prize Given The club which wins, the contest will receive a silver loving cup as a token of its victory. This cup is now on display in the showcase of the Student Union building. The name of the winning club will be engraved on the cup, and the club will also receive a cash award. Since it is impossible to tabulate the attendance record any oftener than once every four weeks, the results of the contest will not be available until December 12, after the contest is over. Committee Told Working under Mrs. Mabel White, of the attendance office, is a committee composed of Kimber- lain Kane, Joseph Landisman, Flo¬ rence Lovejoy, Grace McAuliffe, Rosalie Meub, Bill Newbold, Phyl¬ lis Richmond and Vesta Stone. Others assisting with the contest are Marjorie Thompson, Georgian- na Stacy, Donald Hopkins, Marion Schlatter and Betty Ray. Association Has Meeting Attended by Miss Winifred Skinner and Miss Eleanor Homer, a gathering of the members of the School Library association of Cali¬ fornia at Hanford was held .“The two-day meet was devoted to dis¬ cussions, conferences and teas, with a banquet in the evening,” said Miss Skinner, who led the junior college conference. “The most entertaining speaker was Miss Marjorie Hunter, an ex¬ change teacher from England, now teachings at Alhambra high school. As former head mistress of an English secondary school, she was able to give an accurate and in¬ teresting picture of conditions con¬ fronted by teachers in secondary schools in England,” said Miss Skinner. Engineering students in E. D. Cornelison’s classes have been conducted through the library by Miss Skinner recently. HALLOWE’EN TEA GIVEN COUNSELORS A Hallowe’en tea party for the counselors of the city was held yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the home of Miss Margaret Bennett, director of research and guidance of the Pasadena city schools.

WILL MEET Milo Jamison, the general ad¬ viser for the University Bible Clubs association, will speak at Pasadena junior college at a spe¬ cial meeting of the Bible club. Job Placement Bureau Offers Opportunity “Within the last 48 hours there have been calls for six good positions,” stated Leland M. Pryor, chairman of the business education department and head of the placement bu¬ reau, in encouraging business students to apply for jobs, one day last week. “Some of the jobs are even full time jobs, while some are only part time. More employers have phoned and asked for stu¬ dents to work this year than they have in the last eight years, and the placement bu¬ reau cannot even find enough prospective employees all the time to satisfy the need,” he added. All Pasadena junior college students who have had any business education are extended the service of the bureau which has placed many students in good paying positions of all types, according to Mr. Pryor. Those who would like to apply for a job are requested to reg¬ ister with him at his office, lo¬ cated on the second floor of the girls’ gym. Special Train Will Trek To Ventura Tilt “Ventura Special” Leaves Pasadena Station At 3:15 On Friday Because the football game be¬ tween Ventura and Pasadena jun¬ ior college has been set back one day, the train chartered by the pep commission will leave Friday after¬ noon, November 6, at 3:15 p. m., instead of Saturday, as previously planned, according to Jack Page, pep commissioner. Students should come to school prepared to leave immediately af¬ ter sixth period classes let out. The chartered train will be wait¬ ing at the Southern Pacific sta¬ tion on the corner of Broadway and Green streets. After the game, the “Ventura Special,, will leave as soon as the football team is ready to go, and will arrive in Pasadena about midnight. Several new features will be in¬ corporated in this year’s chartered train. There will be a dining car in which students may buy food. This diner was added because stu¬ dents will have not extra time to eat, except in Ventura after the train has pulled in. Students in the Frosh class have decided to keep together in one car. Band members will have cars of their own, as will ehe football team and officials of Pasadena junior college. “The conduct that we show on this trip will decide the future for any more chartered trains,” said Page. Chaperones for the journey are to be Milton C. Mohs, director of the symphony orchestra, and Mrs. Mohs; E. D. Cornelison, head of the technical department here, and Mrs. Cornelison; Max B. Har¬ low, instructor in aeronautics, and Mrs. Harolw; Bob McNeish, var- sitxy coach, and Mrs. McNeish; Otto Anderson, track coach, and Mrs. Anderson and Earl Holder, from the junior college bookstore. The fare will be $1.25 per person for a round trip. Tickets may be purchased at the bank in the Stu¬ dent Union building. “The regular round trip fare to Ventura is $2.75, so this chartered train trip is a real bargain,” said Page. CHANCE GIVEN FOR SETTLEMENT WORK - - - As a means of obtaining train¬ ing in settlement work, women stu¬ dents of Pasadena junior college who are interested, may sign up in the office of Miss Catherine J. Rob¬ bins, dean of women, for work at the Pasadena Mexican Settlement, located on 784 South Raymond. “This work is not only interest¬ ing and educational, but it also provides excellent training for fu¬ ture employment, said Miss Rob¬ bins. She added that the work is not difficult. Y’ TO HOLD PARTY Tickets for the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C.

I wish to thank all those students and organizations that helped make the parade such a fine success.” Dr. Harbeson stated in a letter to this paper: “To all those clubs and other student organizations who participated in the historical parade in the Rose Bowl on Fri¬ day evening, October 23, I extend most hearty congratulations and sincere appreciation to the entire College. The parade was splen¬ didly organized and executed with perfect precision. It started on time and closed on time — remark¬ able tribute not only to our able leader, Mr. McAuley, but also to all of the students who partici¬ pated. Friday was a great day in the history of Pasadena junior col¬ lege, and I want all of you to know that the fine cooperation which made an event like this pos¬ sible is recognized and thoroughly appreciated.” Jack Parsons was selected by the judges as the man to have the most growth on his face, thereby win¬ ning the whiskerino contest.

Club Makes Constitution Modeled after the United States Constitution, the club constitution of the Out-of-State club will in¬ clude houses of'congress, executive cabinet and other features anal¬ ogous to the national document . Members of the constitutional committee of the club drew up the fundamentals of the paper last Tuesday, making it like the U. S. Constitution because there are so many out-of-state students on the campus that the plan can be fol¬ lowed with students representing respective states and foreign coun¬ tries, according to A1 Gutzmer, treasurer. There are 33 students representing states other than Cal¬ ifornia, enrolled at Pasadena jun¬ ior college at present. The members of the constitution committee finished the business of the composition of their club con¬ stitution yesterday at 3 p. m., and included all the articles and amend¬ ment proposals.
