Choose Play
In L.D. Club
‘Green Stocking’ To Give
Laughs to School
This Year
With membership tryouts slated
for 3 o’clock Tuesday in 200C,
Bauble and Bells launches this
semester’s dramatic season.
Due to the loss of so' many well
known thespians through gradua¬
tion, the lower division drama club
is prepared to take on a great
number of new members, accord¬
ing to Miss Katherine Kester, club
mentor. Boys are especially urged
to come out, as there is a need of
male players. Miss Kester and
Gwen Gaze, club president, will
preside over an informal tea in
200C immediately before the would-
be members give “their all.” Each
applicant should be able to pre¬
sent a pantomime and a short
memorised selection. All 11-1,
11-2 and 12-1 students are eligible.
The membership tryouts are
being staged early this year so
that new players will have an op¬
portunity to tryout for the annual
comedy next Thursday in 200C.
The play is a light comedy,
“Green Stockings,” by A. E. W.
Mason. With this three-act fun-
fest, “Bauble and Bells are anti¬
cipating the greatest success of
their dramatic career,” in the opin¬
ion of Miss Kester.
The cast will undoubtedly be
built around such well known ac¬
tors as Gwen Gaze, Lenor.e Cavell,
Virginia Gregg, Claire Mansfield,
Jean Scott, Don Wheeler.
Because of the work being done
on the auditorium, the play will be
presented at John Marshall junior
high on November 10.

cally declared. Murray G. Hill, En¬
glish department mentor.

; Davis Returns as Debate
Coach; Schedule to
Be Drawn Up
Investigatino one of the worst
crime waves in the history of A-
merica, junior college talkers enter
a new era with the return of Coach
Earl D. Davis as coach. Mr. Davis,
who replaces Maurice F. Hoerger,
has taken advanced work in social
science at Columbia University
twice during the last three years.
He previously coached debate in
1928.
Organized crime’s alarming turn
from liquor tra....c to kidnapping
led the debate classes to consider
the problem, which specifically
stated, is “Resolved: That the Uni¬
ted States Should Have: a National
Police Force.”
The Intercollegiate Forensic
League has not determined debate
subjects, however, nor has a sche¬
dule been made out.
In addition to a number of re¬
cruits who will be drafted from
the debate classes, six experienced
oral arts students who are continu¬
ing this year are: Dick Hanna,
Virginia Hudson, Paul Jones, Louis
Lagrave, Havens Stevens, and
James Williams.
New Editors
Head Annual
New members appearing on this
year’s Campus staff to reinforce
the experienced annual workers of
last year consist of Bert McLoud,
art editor, and Glenn Hurd, bus¬
iness manager.
Returning this term are Richard
D.ewey, Taylor Green, Ben Ludden
and Peter Geddes, who return to
serve as editor, associate, activities
and photography editors. Assist¬
ing them are John Ehlen and Glen
L. Lembke, advisers.
There are still many positions
to students who desire to work on
a student publication. Those who
wish to apply must make applica¬
tion at 203-D at the earliest oppor¬
tunity.
Dancing Class
Will Start Again
An opportunity to gain contaces
as well as learning how to trip the
light fantastic will be opened to
students through the dancing
classes sponsored by the secretary
of social affairs committee with
Mary Linek as chairman. The
classes will begin October 4 in the
men’s gym with a charge of $1.25
for ten lessons. Buckner and
Nessley are to be the directors.
The class is for beginners only.
I fthere is a large enough de¬
mand, an advance class will be
considered. Last year 260 partici¬
pated in the three classes. Aspir¬
ants are urged, to sign up in Miss
Cathe rine J. Robbins’ office at
once.
Send Out Call
For Assistants
More volunteers to act as office
assistants are needed by all depart¬
ment chairmen, according to Miss
Catherine J. Robbins, dean of
women. These jobs are rewarded
with three service points and offer
valuable chances to become ac¬
quainted with school activities and
and in making worthwhile contacts.
Service points become a part of
the studen’s record.
Bond Vote
To Decide
’Aud’ Fate
Assembly Hall Darkened
As Committees Show
Room Is Unsafe
Fate of the Pasadena junior col¬
lege auditorium and a host of minor
structures in the city school sys¬
tem will be definitely decided at a
city-wide bond issue election dur¬
ing the latter part of October, the
Chronicle learned in an interview
this week with Schuyler C. Joyner,
business assistant of the local
board of education.
The assembly hall is now in “in¬
voluntary retirementt” after inves¬
tigations proved it to be earth¬
quake-susceptible, as a result of
which ruling the huge theater is
the outstanding “white elephant”
of the school system as a result of
this ruling.
Application Made
Application has been made by the
board to the national government
through the federal emergency ad¬
ministration of public works for
financial aid in case the bond
issue is passed. Under this ar¬
rangement only 70 per cent of the
issue would have to be repaid, the
balance of the debt being assumed
by Uncle Sam.
Meanwhile plans for the extent
of auditorium reconstruction are
dependent upon reports of the
state division of architecture, the
documents being due in this city
within a week.
To Submit Findings
Upon arrival the findings will
be submitted to the technical com¬
mittee of the board of education.
This group of architects, civil en¬
gineers and contractors will then
decide the amount of work neces¬
sary to be done on the buildings,
and submit its decision to voters
at the approaching election.
Y.M. Members
Complete Map
Culminating months of planning
and labor, the large world map, a
product of the efforts of Y. M. C.
A. members, international project
and the financial support of the
student body, is now occupying a
large portion of the bulletin board
in the front corridor.
The map is 30 by 42 inches with
lights placed at points throughout
the world where important events
are now making history. Under
the map proper are two rows of
red switches, responsible for the
lighting of the board. Last min¬
ute news bulletins are to be placed
at both sides of the chart. They
will make their appearance next
week and are to be furnished

for this school addition goes to
Walter Pollock, Ed Merchant, Bill
Rockwell, Lovell Hindenlang- and
Cliff Cave. Jack Shepard was re¬
sponsible for carrying out the
plans for the completion of the
map, and Cliff Cave, Y. M. C. A.
president, and Edison Montgomery
are going to see that the lights are
kept burning. O. G. Dressier, ad¬
viser, took an active part in con¬
struction plans.
