Increased Patronage
Is Given Cafeteria
The Pasadena High School Caf¬
eteria has realized a great increase
of student patronage since 1921.
In that year 750 people were served
daily both in the cafeteria and in
the outside candy counter. From !
1922 to 1923 the number of stu-
. more memberships must be sold
! and for a comfortable margin a
total sale of twenty-five hundred
is essential.
In order to create this margin
a drive for memberships will be
waged during this week and next
week in all advisory periods. To
stimulate interest three pennants
have been provided which will be
awarded to the first three advi¬
sory classes having 100% member¬
ship.
Lower classmen especially, who
may not as yet realize the neces¬
sity of the immediate purchase of
a Student Body Card, are urged
to buy theirs this week since the
entire actions of the Student Body
as an organization are dependent
upon the sale of Student Body
memberships. Also, for the bene¬
fit of those who may not know,

of those making up high school de-

that most of the students “have

the end of each semester, student

coupons held by the student.
The salesmen at the bookstore
are especially proud of the lighted

is the busiest of the term.

TO THE TEACHERS AND
STUDENTS
The new year has begun under
most favorable conditions. Last
week was the best first week
of school we have had in the
past five years. Let us set high
standards of achievement and do
our best to attain them.
In the interest of good citizen¬
ship, all lists of candidates for
club, class, or student body of¬
fices and student employees will
be submitted to the principal’s
office for approval. Scholarship
eligibility will be determined by
a satisfactory record (passing
in all subjects including physi¬
cal education) during the last
semester.
Let us make 1924-25 the best
year in the history of our school.

Principal.

LEAVING SCHOOL GROUNDS
Special attention is called to the
fact that P. H. S. students must
not leave the grounds between per¬
iods. Crossing the street is allowed
during lunch periods only. Re¬
member that leaving school with¬
out a slip from either Miss Hawes
or Dr. Seabolt is considered cut¬
ting and therefore not excusable.
Permission to leave the campus
at noon is yours as long as you
uphold the high standards of Pasa¬
dena high school. Do not let your¬
self be one who would be respon¬
sible for depriving others of this
privilege.
