VIEWS OF
THE NEWS
Doug McMann
— f—
Thanks to the student body re¬
sponse, the first show of the year
was a financial success, a,s well as
an enjoyable afternoon entertain¬
ment. Returns from the bank dis¬
closed that the student body fund
had been bolstered greatly. This
cooperation evinced the real Bull¬
dog spirit. Keep up the good work
and answer the call for help every
time it is sounded.
Publications at the junior college
are receiving awards at every turn.
It is not enough for the “Mad Dog”
to shine. Along comes our “Cam¬
pus” staff to announce that their
book took the first class honor
award in the nation wide contest
last year. The “Chronicle” has al¬
so got its eyes open to the fact that
the junior college press association
is offering awards to the finest
newspapers. With such boosters
as these publications, this educa¬
tional plant is sure to prosper.
Every student enrolled at P. J.
C. realizes that we are working for
building improvements and other
equipment so essential to the
growth of our junior college. The
problem across the street is gradu¬
ally being checked, but the hangers
on who continue to disobey the law
are hindering the advance to our
goal more than they realize. A look
into the future would foretell what
our present actions depend on. As¬
sume the modern philosophy and
think of those to come.
New students, council members,
and student officers will officiate
at the annual new students’ Cord
and Cotton Frolic tomorrow night.
Among this group, many are ex¬
pected to attend. It is asked that
the student body cooperate to the
extent that they allow the new stu¬
dents an evening to themselves.
A Sophomore scuffle will hold
the main stage on the night o'f
Nov. 14. As stated, the dance is
for twelfth year classmen. Fresh¬
men, Juniors, and Seniors, are cor¬
dially invited to notice that there
are over eight-hundred students in
the Sophomore class. This fact
alone proves that if at least half of
the class attend, there will be four
hundred present. In other words,
the girls’ gym will have plenty to
take care of. Your cooperation is
asked.
C. S. F. PINS
ARE GIVEN
— ♦ —
“You are becoming what you are
to be,” stated Dean J. P. O’Mara in
presenting pins to members of
Chapter I of C. S. F., Oct. 27.
“The most vital part of school life
is excellence in scholarship. Athlet¬
ic, extra-curricular and social act¬
ivities are but secondary phases of
balanced school life, and it is sig
nificant of the modern trend of P.
J. C. to note that boys now out¬
number girls in C. S. F. member¬
ship,” said Mr. O’Mara, in congrat¬
ulating members at the party.
Miss Kathleen Loly, adviser,
gave a brief resume of C. S. F.
history and also announced that
due to changes in unit value of
study courses this year, revision of
membership requirements would be
necessary. New requirements will
probably be based on individual
grade point averages.
A musical program by Florence
Oberlie, Esther Strickland, Vivian
Berg, Harry Bailey, and Lloyd
Staples preceded the short business
meeting and election of officers.
New officers of C. S. F. are:
Rollin Bennett, president; Talitha
Youngblood, vice-president; Syd¬
ney Edwards, secretary; Bob Rock-
wood, treasurer; and A1 Renner,
publicity director.
Committee members appointed
were: Muriel Cannon, social chair¬
man ; Clifford Coffin, program
chairman, and Bob Trumbull, ser¬
vice chairman.

Committees for Mysterious
Comedy Drama Natned;
Title Is Unknown
With the cast for the annual
Players’ Guild production going
into active rehearsals this week,
and committees announced, the
play is beginning to form a sem¬
blance of the finished product, ac¬
cording to Larry Smith, president.
The play is to be one of the big
successes of the year, if the inter¬
est that is shown in the title and
allied subjects are taken into con¬
sideration, according to those who
have charge of the publicity.
The play is particularly appro¬
priate for the time it is to be pre¬
sented, December 6. It is said that
this light comedy has an admirable
piece of dialogue in the Christmas
scene.
Committees are: business,
Dwight Crandall, chairman, Mary
Balden, Jeanette Tinn, Charles
Weale, and Lila Wing. House com¬
mittee, Helen Fowler, chairman,
Esther Evarts, Ralph Randall, Dan
Dodson, Virginia Baker, and Wini¬
fred Craven. Publicity, Edward
Ivilius, Bernard Melekian, Charles
Koors, and John Baxter.
Committees for stage properties
and make-up are Richard Van Cu-
ren, Lorraine Warren, Naomi Lilja,
Larry Smith, Katherine Graham,
and Esther Strickland.
Hi
Dolls Representing Leads in
Seven Chances” Displayed;
to Be Used as Hunt Prizes
- e -
Seven dolls dressed to represent characters in the play “Seven
Chances,” to be presented by Bauble and Bells on the evening of Nov¬
ember 7 are hidden around the campus, and persons finding them will
be given a free ticket to the play. All students who discover the dolls
are requested to bring them to the Publicity Bureau. They were made
by Virginia Bunch, chairman of publicity for the play.
Written by Roi Cooper Magrue and produced by special permission
of Samuel French of New York, “Seven Chances” is full of interesting
and humorous situations and characterizations.
Strings to Legacy
When Jimmie Shannon falls heir to his grandfather’s millions,
things look bright. But when Jimmie finds that he must be married
before his next birthday which is supposedly ten days, in order to
collect the money, things look anything but rosy, especially as Jimmie
is not the ideal lover type. To tell more according to Miss Katherine
Kester, director, would be to spoil the entire play.
Leading roles are enacted by Margaret Gardner and Bob Coop. AL
though Miss Gardner is new to the junior college stage, this is not
her first experience in major play productions. She graduated from
John Marshall Junior high school last year, where she played one of
the leading roles in the senior class play.
Bob Coop, president of the Bauble and Bells has appeared in many
other productions presented by this club. Others who take important
parts are Gilbert Sommer, Louise Bonds, Jean McCrae, Paul Arvin,
Mary Williams, Catherine Allen, Eleanor Levins, Jean Cromley, and
Marguerite Constantian.
Large Cast Assisting
Others who have parts in the play are Hilton Sanders, Russell
Workman, Austin Hurley, and A1 Fitch. In the ensemble are Marie
Middleston, Margaret Miller, Mary Ness, Esther Lou Hatch, Muriel
Schaeffer, Lita Houston, Tom Mason, William Grose, Richard Ashton,
Robert Roekwood, Harlow Jenks, and Michael Sheahy.
Miss Kester is being assisted by Virginia Bunch and Myrtle Hill¬
man, who are acting as student directors.
According to A1 Fitch, business manager, tickets will be priced at
35 and 50 cents, and will go on sale at the ticket office in the West
basement office, opposite the “Chronicle” office next Monday. Students
are urged to get their tickets early, as a great demand is anticipated.
Support of Bureau
Asked by Secretary
— • —
To systematize all forms of
publicity and newspaper activ¬
ity this semester, the enthusias¬
tic cooperation of the student
body is asked. The cooperation
of Publicity Bureau and student
organizations is necessary for
a successful season. All news
must go through this agency be¬
fore it will be accepted as print¬
able. ,
All stories for the Star-News
and Post must have the official
signature of the Publicity Bu¬
reau before they can be accept¬
ed as useable junior college ma¬
terial. Through this one news
medium the institution and its
many organizations are sure to
prosper and insure the best re¬
sults.
Your cooperation has been
greatly appreciated in the past.
Your cooperation is necessary
for a united, successful year.
(Signed)
DOUGLAS McMANN,
Secretary of Publications.

The decision of the senior class
to wear brushed wool sweaters
ranging in price from $3.85 to $4.00
was made known at the meeting
of the class Wednesday. Measure¬
ment appointments will be an¬
nounced later.
Plans were made to attend the
Bauble and Bells play, “Seven
Chances” in a party.
SOPHOMORE
That class pins will identify the
Sophomores this year was the de¬
cision made by the class at the
meeting held in the women’s gym
Wednesday. New class officers
were sworn in by Linn W. Hat-
tersly, adviser.
Amendments to the constitu¬
tion, changing it to conform with
the general constitution of the col¬
lege were passed. It was also vot¬
ed that the Soph prom would be
held at a country club, if one is
available, instead of using the
women’s gym.
Entertainment was provided by
William Bailey and Emil Briano.
JUNIOR
Harold Lloyd in “Among Those
Present” featured the Junior class
assembly October 29. Joyce Dunk-
erly described the functions of the
Junior council, which are to make
announcemnts in the second period
classes, to distribute tickets, and to
make certain that the Juniors sit
in their proper section during the
assemblies.
The Cord and Cotton dance, to
be held tomorrow night at the Mas¬
onic Temple, was announced, and
new officers were installed.
Annual Frolic Honors New j
Students; Invitations to
Be Exchanged
— ♦ —
The annual Cord and Cotton
Frolic which is given each year
honoring all new students will take
place tomorrow night at the Ma- 1
sonic Temple. Invitations have,
been sent to all new students,
student officers, and members of:
the faculty and administration dur¬
ing the past week and a large at¬
tendance is hoped for, according ,
to Miss Ida E. Hawes, student body \
adviser in charge of the affair. ]
All invitations must be exchang-'
ed for admittance tickets before
tomorrow night. These may be
secured at the west window of the 5
Student Body office.
Music for the affair, which is
rapidly becoming a tradition, will
be furnished by Jimmie Gilbert’s
six piece orchestra, and Coach j
Claude W. Hippier will act as
master of ceremonies.
Last year the dance was held at j
the Pasadena Country Club and
the attendance was so great that
many were unable to gain admit¬
tance. The increased facilities of ;
the Masonic Temple will probably!
be adequate for the dance this;
year.
Those who do not dance will bej
entertained in other ways, accord¬
ing to Virginia Yerxa, who hasj
charge of incidental entertainment.
The other members of the com¬
mittee in charge are: Lois Messier,
general chairman, Muriel Cannon,

gard.
