Next Tuesday, September . 18, the first regular edition of the “Chronicle” will be published. From that day on throughout the year, the “Chronicle” will be dis¬ tributed twice a week, on Tues¬ days and Fridays. The papers will probably be given out in the main hall of the “C” building. The “Chronicle” staff will have its office in what was formerly the attendance office in the north¬ west corner of the basement of the “C” building. The old office across the hall between room 6-C and the print shop will be for the use of reporters only.

Course Full Credit Awarded Upper Division Students; Slacks to be Issued Miss Ida E. Hawes, Dean of women, asks for the whole-heart¬ ed enthusiasm and co-operation of the students: “To the young men and women who are entering Pasadena Junior College this fall we are glad to give a word of welcome. A year of splendid opportunity is before us. Let us enter upon it joyous¬ ly! The success of our college depends upon our whole-hearted enthusiasm, our loyal co-opera¬ tion, our determination to contri¬ bute something of value as stan¬ dards and ideals are being estab¬ lished for the new organization. pioneering in a great educational i The happjness of our students de- movement which is nothing short pencjs upon the spirit of friend- of epoch-making in its signifi- uness and cordiality which we cance.

Excuses for absences on excur¬ sions or to represent the school of¬ ficially must be obtained from the proper school authorities. Such an absence will qot be counted against the student’s allowed absences. Three cases of tardiness are con¬ sidered as an absence. Entrance to class after the first 20 minutes is counted as an absence. Any departure from these rules (Continued on Page Three) thoroughly established educa¬ tional principles and practice. We believe that the four year Junior College extending from the eleventh grade of high school on through the sophomore year of college is pregnant with educa¬ tional possibilities far beyond the reach of the old and passing forms of school organization. “Let us begin this greatest of all years in our history with a firm determination to co-operate to- cultivate. Let’s try to earn the reputation of being the friendli¬ est lot of students anywhere! A smile or a kindly word is so easy to give, and sometimes it br-ings a bit of sunshine into a dark or lonely day! “So here’s a cordial greeting to each one of you! We hope to know you personally before many weeks have passed. The happi¬ est year to the finest Student Body in the best school in the country! “Most cordially, Ida E. Hawes Dean of Women” (Continued on Page Three) With increased credit given, ex¬ cursions planned, and many new features added to its work, the local R. О. T. C. looks forward to a banner year. Lieutenant-Colonel G. H. White, who took the unit with an enrollment of forty mem¬ bers last September and brought it to a total of 215 members with¬ in the school year, will be in charge again, with Sergeant W. B. Morgan assisting. It is ex¬ pected that the newly aroused in¬ terest of the school will carry en¬ rollment over the loss caused by the dropping of the 10th year. Many Changes Numerous changes have been made in the War Department’s program of instruction as well as in the organization of the school. Among the foremost of these is the acceptance of R. О. T. C. as a subject receiving a full unit of credit per term in the 13th and 14th years. It is expected that the 11th and 12th years will re¬ ceive one-half a credit a term. Instead of the five days former¬ ly required, the 11th through 14th years will meet three days a week. The remaining 10-2 students will continue the five day week. The following schedule has been ar¬ ranged: 13th and 14th grades (J. C.) will meet 4th period on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Group one of the 11th and 12th grades will meet 4th period on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Group 2 of the 11th and 12th grades will meet 4th period on Tuesday and Thursday, and the 6th period on Monday or Wednes¬ day. 10-2 grade w'ill probably meet the 4th period each day. Of the five periods one will be theoreti¬ cal gnd one play day with civilian clothes. The band will meet the 4th per¬ iod on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and such other periods as Mr. Parker may require to enable members to also carry musical credits. The unit will consist of one batallion of two companies made up of students from the 10-2, 11th, and 12th grades; one batallion of two companies from the 13th and 14th grades; and the band. Subjects Offered Subjects to be taken up include the following: First year students — Infantry drill, 58 hours; Rifle Marksman¬ ship, 20 hours; Military Courtesy, 5 hours; Individual Infantry Equipment, 4 hours; Principles of Personal Hygiene, 4 hours; Phys¬ ical Training, 20 hours. Second Year Students — Infan¬ try Close and Extended Order Drill, Students to function as Pri¬ vates and Corporals, 50 hours; Ri¬ fle Marksmanship (continuation of Remsen D. Bird, President of Occidental College Will Speak Pasadena City Schools will be formally opened with a public cer¬ emony in the Rose Bowl, Sunday, September 16. The program is scheduled to start at 4:30 p. m. with a concert given by the Pasa¬ dena Sciots band. Seats are to be reserved for students and in¬ structors. All other seats will be unreserved, and the public cordial¬ ly invited to attend. Mrs. Louise B. Hoblit, president of the Board of Education, will preside at the event. Representa¬ tives of all city schools will par¬ ticipate or have a place on the platform. Representatives of ci¬ vic and club organizations have been invited to sit on the stage and bring with them, in writing, the greetings and good wishes of their organizations. These greet¬ ings, together with a roll con¬ taining the names of all students entering P. J. C. the first day are to be sealed in a box and placed in the wall of the auditorium which is still under construction. Dr. Remsen D. Bird, president of Occidental College, it to speak on the subject of “The Junior College Movement from the Stand¬ point of the Four-Year College.” Novis Family to Sing An interesting feature will be the ensemble number of the Novis family. Many Pasadenans have expressed the wish to hear such a number by this remarkable group of artists. Those who will sing are Mr. F. G. Novis, Miss Mary Novis, Donald Novis, and Harold Novis. An unusual musical program has been arranged. In addition to the music by the Sciots band, several vocal numbers have been planned, including a solo by Ar¬ thur J. Wickland, principal of the Cleveland school. Mr. Wickland is well liked in Pasadena circles for his beautiful voice. Mary Novis, who has entertained many times before smaller audiences, will sing for the first time in the Rose Bowl, Sunday. Donald Novis will also sing a solo. Dedication Impressive The dedication of the college colors and emblem will be an im¬ pressive ceremony. From the (Continued on Page Three) Extensive Remodeling Seen During Vacation Great changes have been made during the summer months, what with the reconstruction of the auditorium, as yet uncompleted;' the enlarging of the cafeteria; a complete rebuilding of the admin¬ istrative offices; and the installa¬ tion of new equipment in the men’s physical education depart- j ment. In the auditorium room has j been mar1'- for approximately five ' hundred u j re seats, and the task of tearing out and reconstructing the stage is now progressing ra- I pidly toward completion. The stage floor itself will be some four feet lower than formerly, the procenium arch will be made smaller, and the back wall has been moved to within twenty feet of the lunch service building, thus bringing the front of the stage to a point filled before by the back wall of the bid stage. $65,000 dollars has been voted by the school board for the auditorium work, which must be finished by next February. Teachers will now eat in the space formerly occupied by Mrs. White’s book supply room, and the last year’s faculty cafeteria (Continued on Page Three) (Continued on Page Three) PASADENA CITY COLLEGE LIBRARY
