The Chronicle Keynote Is Service PASADENA CHRONICLE The Watch- Word Is Progress Vol. XXIX Pasadena Junior College, September 12, 1937 No. 2 Dean Gives Registration Procedure Final Enrollment Step For Fall Semester Is Scheduled Tomorrow By John A. Anderson Dean of Records With thousands of students scheduled to register, enrollments will be completed tomorrow and school will be definitely under way for the fall semester. Registration Day will be entirely given over to the tallying of new and returning students. Registration will be held entirely in the new building. It will begin at 7:45 on Monday morning, Sep¬ tember 13. New 11-1 freshmen will report to the Library on the main floor; those whose names begin with A-L to the east soom and M-Z to the adjoining west room. Any corrections in freshman programs will be made by Miss Hawes, dean of guidance. Other students who have corrections or changes will report to their own counselors, who may be reached by appointment made at room 164. Study Lists Eleven-two freshmen, sopho¬ mores, juniors, and seniors who have made out their study lists before Wednesday, September 8, will report to the folliwng rooms: A-Cas 25 McC-Pu 141 C'at-For 18 Py-Stre 206 Fos-Hum 18 Stri-Z 246 Hun-McB 117 Students whose study lists were not made out until after Tuesday, September 7, will report to room 170. All students who call for their registration lists after 11:30 on Registration Day will find them as follows: A— L 200 M— Z 237 Registration Rules Unless a change of program is necessary, each student will regis¬ ter according to the original copy of his study list. Changes of pro¬ gram will be made out by coun¬ selors before the registration form is filled out. Only absolutely nec¬ essary changes will be made on Registration Day. The greatest care should be used in filling out all parts of the regis¬ tration forms since these become permanent records for the semes¬ ter in all the administrative offices. Students are asked to use pen and ink, to write plainly, and not to hurry, as there is plenty of time to complete the registration proce¬ dure. All registration blanks must be accounted for. Students who wish to defer pay¬ ment of fees will fill out all regis¬ tration forms and report to the Cashier, after which they will con¬ fer with the Dean of Men or Dean of Women for approval of the de¬ ferment. There is a new step in the regis¬ tration procedure this semester: Continued on Page Three HERE'S GUIDE TO NEW CAMPUS J COLORADO .ST hockcy riECDJ ATHLETICS AR CHERT , _ Ц is PARKING CAFETERIA Ш2 PRACTICE FIELD T £ NN (J соилт S HORULLL FIELD blANCHE ST BUILDING'S C ADMINISTRATION Ю Lirt SCIENCES E PHYSICAL SCIENCES F DINING HALL a band H BOILtRHOU.SE.

CAMPUd Tech Students Finish Work On Monoplane The fruit of eleven months work has just gone to the airport. The P.J.C.-l, an all-metal, low- wing, cabin monoplane, built by aero tech students was packed on a truck and shipped to the Alham¬ bra Airport where it will be put in top-notch trim for a test flight in the very near future. Under the direction of Max B. Harlow, aeronautical engineer and instructor in aviation here at PJS, preliminary plans were drawn up and related tests made on models and mockups. Nearly a year ago production was started and since that time Mr. Harlow has super¬ vised the building of one of the most unique airplanes ever pro¬ duced. Tony Hoffman was in charge of construction. The ship is of low-wing design and has retractable landing gear. She seats three passengers and a pilot, and has a top speed of ap¬ proximately 150 miles per hour. According to Mr. Harlow, Pasa¬ dena has produced an airplane that is up to date and modern in every feature. The experience gained by the students working on a truly modern plane has fitted many of them for positions in the aviation industry, he said. At the present time the plans for a very similar plane are being completed and actual work on this ship will start as soon as classes are organized. TECH SUBJECTS LISTED The Technology building will, after three years, be devoted ex¬ clusively to technological subjects. These subjects are architecture, aviation, civil technology, and elec¬ trical, mechanical and general tech¬ nology. Printing classes will be conducted in the basement of the Horace Mann building. Associated Men Students Sponsor Entertainment Registration Day entertainment, inciudlng dancing, sports, and vaudeville acts will be furnished by the Associated Men Students in the men's gym on September 13, according to Vernon Leif, acting A.M.S. president. Action will start at about 10 a. m. with dancing in the outside gym and ping pong and boxing in the inside. According to ♦Bob Stapleton, student body presi- Dr. Harbeson Gives Ten Conduct Pointers For New School Year In order to help both new and old students start out the new year in the right way and to keep run¬ ning smoothly throughout the year, Dr. John W. Harbeson, principal, has issued a list of ten things a student should remember. Complete your enrollment at once and immediately file the number 7 card in the records office to receive your identification card, which will be essential in securing tickets to school activities. Make a special effort to get ac¬ quainted with large numbers of students and faculty. No one can enjoy a college career without mak¬ ing many friends. However, fra¬ ternity membership is illegal and not permissable on the campus. No cuts are allowed in classes, and tardiness is inexcusable excep¬ ting in rare emergencies. Its con¬ tinued practice will lower grades. Closed campus is observed during assemblies and convocations, when students are not permitted to leave the campus. Don’t throw waste paper around, as an ample supply of waste re¬ ceptacles are available. The use of tobacco is forbidden. Participate in a, reasonable num¬ ber of school activities, but do not overdo them. Above all, cul¬ tivate a creditable scholarship rec¬ ord, and do not let an excessive participation in activities interfere with a successful scholarship stan¬ dard. Future opportunity hinges more on scholarship than on any other factor of your junior college record'. FAIR ENTRY “Pasadena Schools Day” will be celebrated at the Pomona Fair on October 1, according to word issued by the Board of Education. Watch Bulletin Board In Halls Watch the bulletin boards. They will announce things of importance, events of interest, rules well to remember. There is several hundred square feet of bulletin board space in the halls of the Horace Mann build¬ ing alone, with a thousand feet more in offices, and most of it will be used all the time. News which will effect you will be placed in bulletin boards from time to time, along with official announcements and schedules, for dances and social programs. The bulletin boards are an important part of the school. Watch them. dent, music for the dancing will be furnished by the best recorded or¬ chestras. Footballs and apparatus will be on the field for any who want to use them, but as the show¬ ers will not be open students will not be allowed to dress. “Since there are so many stu¬ dents who will not be able to make out a full set of papers on Regis¬ tration day, we have chosen a day on which students will have an hour here and there to waste and would like to have something inter¬ esting to occupy their time,” Leif said, “Many more students who finish early will also appreciate a chance to play, dance, watch vau¬ deville acts and generally relax aftre their morning’s troubles. This will be an excellent opportun¬ ity for new students to drop in on an informal ‘get-together,’ ” con¬ cluded Leif. At the time this paper goes to press the final plans for the day's activities have not yet ben com¬ pleted, but it is acertaintv that the day’s entertainment will give everybody a good time. According to Leif, “It is not necessary to spend a whole day or even an horn at our show and have a good time as the day has been planned for the students who have just a few minutes here and there throughout the day. “This is only the first of the As¬ sociated Men Students’ activities,” said Leif, ‘and. the varied and nu¬ merous functions of the Associated Men Students will continue as soon as the officers are elected.” Period Schedule For Classes Is Told The schedule of classes for this year has been announced by the administration office as follows: For Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday How to Escape Getting Lost on Campus Revealed Large White Buildings Greet Students on Tour Of New PJC Campus By Merilyn Nutt Upon entering the Pasadena Jun¬ ior College campus, the first im¬ posing feature which meets the eye is the triad of white structures which houses the majority of cur¬ ricular activities at the junior col¬ lege. Building E, as shown on the adjoining map, is the Louis Agas¬ siz or Physical Science building. The departmental head’s offices as well as all physical science class¬ rooms, are situated in this build¬ ing. One large lecture hall and numerous laboratories are also lo¬ cated here. Directly across from the E build¬ ing is the D or Jane Addams build¬ ing. Life Science classes are held here. The building contains the offices of the chairmen of the home economics and biological science departments, a large lecture hall and a social hall. Horace Mann Building Facing Colorado street and com¬ pleting the triumvirate of the new white city, the main building, named for Horace Mann, is desig¬ nated on the map by the letter C. This building houses all adminis¬ tration offices in addition to the foreign language, English, art, business education, social science, and mathematics department chair¬ men’s offices. Classes in these re¬ spective subjects are held in rooms adjoining the departmental o....ces. The auditorium, textbook room, at¬ tendance office, lost and found, school bank, library, publications offices, and print shop are also lo¬ cated in this building. Enclosed within the U-shaped outline formed by these three new buildings is the most beautiful part of the campus grounds. The mirror pools, surrounded by symmetrical walks future lawns, and the well groomed trees, reflect the images of the new white city. Student Union West from the main building and south from the D building is the Student Union. This building is dedicated to the PJC student body and houses the student body offices, the student bookstore, and lunch counter. The women’s gym and recreation¬ al fields cover the northwest cor- Continued on Pago Throe Pal Program For Today Will Feature Schedule Of Tours And Meetings "Big Brothers and Sisters" of PJC Will Acquaint Freshmen and Newcomers With School, Buildings and Traditions A complete afternoon of Pal Day activities has been planned by Jeanette Eastman, secretary of social affairs, and Miss Catherine J.

This first issue, appear¬ ing during the dedication week, is featuring articles written by the successful and distinguished grad¬ uates of the school. Ex-students who have made a name for them¬ selves out in the big, big world. People who have been talked about in the society circles, newspaper articles, medical journals, and Washington senatorial groups. Peo¬ ple who have stirred up many a cry where groups gather to discuss per¬ tinent subjects. People, in short, who are somebody. Part of their charm lies in the fact that there is a possibility that their success might he attributed to years spent within these walls. Years in which the same teachers that you and I know, have pounded the same sub¬ jects into their heads. Perhaps the same courses that we now struggle with, bothered the minds of these successes. Who knows? All or these people have interesting and vital things to tell the young people of today. Some message for those who are puzzled about vocations and hobbies. There is something of interest for almost every student on the campus. SILVER SCREEN PLANS ACTIVITIES With the completion of the new auditorium, the Silver Screen club is planning a new program of ac¬ tivity to include management of the stage and projection booth in the auditorium. Meeting on Wednesday, Septem¬ ber 8, the club elected managers for the stage and projection booth and assistants to work under them. The dub also discussed plans which would bring about the most efffficient management of the new equipment and which would in¬ sure greater efficiency for the or¬ ganization as a whole, according to A. M. Wedemeyer, adviser to the club. SCIENCE CLASSES Courses of two academic depart¬ ments of the school will be taught in the new Life Science building. All classes of the Home Economics department and all subjects of the Life Science department will he conducted here. Life Science sub¬ jects are bacteriology, botany, for¬ estry, physiology, anatomy, and zoology. Miss Hawes Greets Students By Ida E. Hawes Dean of Guidance The Guidance Dep a r t m e n t welcomes you to Pasadena Jun¬ ior College. We want you to feel that one of the places where you can always be sure of sym- pathetic understanding and friendly interest is the office of your Counselor or of the Dean of Guidance. Our main task is to help you make the most of the days at Pasadena Junior College and to prepare for the next step whether that be uni¬ versity or work. Call on us whenever we can help you to solve any problem, large or small! A joyous, successful year to each one of you ! Student Control Of Library Is Announced A well-lighted, convenient, stu¬ dent-controlled library will be opened to the student body on Mon¬ day, with tentative hours set at 7:30 a. m. to 5:30 p. m. and from 6:00 until 9:00 or 9:30 p. m., de¬ pending upon the number of people enrolled in the night school. There is a possibility that these hours will be changed to accomodate more- people if the need arises. The new arrangement of the li¬ brary facilities will be made as con¬ venient as possible. Students will enter the library from the first floor and go down stairs to the stack room where all books, except possibly the reserve books, will be checked out. This separation of the reading tables from the stacks should keep the library quieter than it has been. “The past several years of make¬ shift library accomodations have broken down the student morale,” according to Miss W. E. Skinner, “and it will be some time before library practices will be back to normal; however this year there will be no faculty supervision of the reading rooms, as the librarians intend to spend all possible time helping the students find wanted material.” Miss Skinner said that new stu¬ dents are cordially invited to visit the library and to ask questions, even though they have no definite objective. Dr. Frantz Joins Science Faculty With only one major faculty change, the Physical Science de¬ partment, under the leadership of Bailey W. Howard, chairman, will carry on a new program of after¬ noon and evening classes in addi¬ tion to the regular program of sci¬ ence courses. Dr. H. W. Frantz, formerly reg¬ istrar at La Verne college and pro¬ fessor in physics as well as a part- time teacher here, will now be a full-time instructor in the physical science department. The chemistry classes already show a heavy enrollment, accord¬ ing to Mr. Howard, and may be filled within a short time. Closing Classes Rush Program Scheduling So many programs are being made that almost every class' is rapidly filling. Students who have not as yet made out pro¬ grams are urged to do so at once before the classes and in¬ structors they want for the semester are all scheduled. Stu¬ dents already are having to take substitute classes. Enrollment is hitting a new high, with scores of students registering every day. Appoint¬ ments to see counselors should he made immediately, as every hour lessens chances to take popular classes. “Pals” and new students will re¬ ceive personal letters notifying them of their appointments. On the tour, the ‘pals” will ex¬ plain the tradition of the school to the newcomers and acquaint them with the campus. Vesper Services The Rev. Richard R. Morgan of the Oneonta Congregational Church will be the speaker at the Vesper services in the auditorium at 3:30 o’clock. He will be intro¬ duced by Dr. John A. Sexson, city superintendent of schools. Bob Stapleton, president of the associated student body, will wel¬ come new and returning students, as will Dr. John W. Harbeson, principal. Music is under the direction of Miss Lula C. Parmley, and will consist of an organ prelude, a vo¬ cal solo by Alice Larson, and a reading with organ accompani¬ ment, by Rosalie Meub. The male quartet under the direction of Miss Carrie M. Sharp, consisting of Harold Cleveland, Howard Hud¬ son, William Wilson and Harry Gruwell, will sing. Tea In Library The services will be dedicated to the opening of the new buildings. The invocation and benediction will be by the Rev. B. .G Jacobson of the Calvary Baptist church. The Y. W. C. A. is sponsoring a tea in the library at 4:30 p. m„ directly after the vesper services, to which everyone is invited. Student body officers are re¬ quested to meet in Miss Robbins’ office at 2 p. m., Sunday to form the welcoming committee. Rae Williams, president of the A.W.S., will act as official hostess, and the Spartans will serve as ushers at the vesper services. A list of “pals” will be found on page three. Mohr To Play At Homecoming A highlight at the beginning of each new semester, the homeeom- mg dance is held as a semi-annual affair at the Civic auditorium on Die evening of Registration Day. This year’s dance, under the direc¬ tion of Jeanette Eastman, secre¬ tary of social affairs, will be held at the same place from 8:30 until 11:30 o’clock on Monday evening-, September 13. Featuring “School Days” as the theme of the dance, decorations will carry out the idea of the little red schoolhouse. Designed along this same line, bids will be replicas of slates. Actual " arrangements for the decorations are still being made. Playing for the dance will be Bob Mohr and his orchestra, who have furnished music for past school affairs. Patrons and patron¬ esses will be administrators who are on the social affairs committee and the parents of the student body officers. Miss Catherine J. Robbim-, dean of women, is acting adviser for the affair. Bids will go on sale in the stu¬ dent body offices on Monday and may also be obtained at the door of the Civic Monday night. The bids will be sold at twenty-five cents a couple. Faculty To Meet Administrators The city school board, headed by Dr. John A. Sexson. will meet Sat¬ urday, September II, at 7:30 p. m., in the Pasadena Junior College auditorium.

Stong, dean of men at PJC, will discuss his plans for the coming semester and outline the changes he plans to make in last year’s setup. J. P. O’Mara, vice¬ principal, will also speak at the session, as will David W. Reidy, counselor and extension school sec¬ retary.
