Swiss yodeling was to be
the highlight of today’s as¬
sembly, when Mme. Marcelle
Grandville and Fritz Zimmer¬
man honored the student body
with various selections, including
mountain yodels of Switzerland.
The origin and character of the
yodel, and French, German, and
Italian folksongs were to toe ex¬
plained, some of which were sung
in English. Numbers rendered An-

Mme. Grandville and Fritz Zim¬
merman have concerted throughout
the United States, and have been
with the Orpheum and Publix cir¬
cuits.
Al Jolson says of them, “Zim¬
merman and Grandville have been
on the bill with me ; they went over
big; they are the best yodelers I
have heard!”
Conforming to tradition, Mast
and Dagger, highest honorary or¬
ganizations in Pasadena junior
college, sponsored the first assem¬
bly of the year last Friday.
Dr. John W. Harbeson, princi¬
pal, opened the program by extend¬
ing a greeting to all new students
and explaining several of the more
important rules of P. J. C. He
then listed the requirements for
election to Mast and Dagger,
stressing the importance of high
scholarship, participation in activi¬
ties, and outstanding service to
this schoolc*"’^'

Hilariously funny is the
! play, “New Poor,” by Cosmo
Hamilton, which has been
chosen by Bauble and Bells
for its fall production on No¬
vember 13.
The story of the play is that of
the “New Poor,” a group of Rus¬
sian refugees, formerly of the no¬
bility. These scions of noble rank
seek positions as servants in the
home of some wealthy Americans.
Sparkling Dialogue
“Sparkling dialogue, amusing
situations, and four intriguing love
affairs, make this American com¬
edy most entertaining,” stated
Miss Katharine Kester, adviser of
the club.
Tryouts for the “New Poor” will
take place September 28. The play
committee includes Jack Cutler,
chairman; Treva Scott, Betty Mc-
Clintock, Donald O’Brien, and Leo-
Head of New

In connection with the announce,

Is Bashful

Is every hero shy? When
brought before the public, and
dressed in flowing robes of
glory, Col. Charles A. Lind¬
bergh fidgeted and blushed at
the unaccustomed notoriety.
In the same way, Ellsworth
Vines, Jr., graduate of P. J. C.,
blushed and stammered when
asked to speak to his many ad¬
mirers at the Pasadena Rose
Bowl, September 19. The tall,
good-looking boy bashfully bent
his head to the microphone,
pausing occasionally with em¬
barrassment in the few words
of greeting to his friends.
Successfully standing alone
on hard tennis courts, the fa¬
miliar swing of a racquet upon
a ball served to render him un-
alone before an audience was a
new experience for the youth¬
ful tennis player.

Here is a chance for all music¬

their hearts’ content. A 30-piece
band is being formed under the di¬
rection of Althea Slater, manager,
and1 if more girls c-ome out for prac-
! tice, the ba-nd will be enlarged.
This group appeared in the Tour-

No Charge is Made
For Reading Class
The “Chronicle” corrects the
statement made in last week’s

reading class, course

taught by Miss Katharine Kes¬

will be no charge for this class,
which is held during third and
fifth periods.
COUNSELOR CHOSEN
Miss Gladys S. Buchholz ha.s
joined the staff of counselors at
junior college. Miss Buchholz

TRYOUTS HELD
Tryouts for girl song leaders
were -held last Thursday at 3 in
the girls’ gym. They were judged
by the board of representatives on
personality, song-leading ability,
and lack of self-consciousness.
Results of the tryout-s will be
announced next week.
Book Throngs
Break Record
Again setting a record for Pasa¬
dena junior college, students last
week upset all previous marks by
patronizing th-e school library in
throngs. As -a rule, the first week
of the term is a quiet one for the
reference rooms, according to li¬
brary statistics.
“We are glad to see such inter¬
est in this school institution, and
the pronounced ‘collegiate attitude’
which is apparent among the stu¬
dents who study here,” approves
Miss Winifred Skinner, head li¬
brarian.
With the daily increasing de¬
mand for reference books, new
helpers are needed; and, even
though the applicant has had no
fo-rmer experience, he may arrange
an interview with Miss Skinner.
