Tropics Enjoyed During Summer
Vacation Of Dramatics Teacher
By Mary Lou Henry
Visiting two contrasting climates,’ '^^j^jB^jj^themcordiality^ I have
Miss Katherine Kester spent the
summer enjoying the sights of the
South Seas, Australia and New
Zealand. The lush, warm, tropical
climate of Tahiti, Fiji and Rara-
tonga islands, formed a delightful
contrast to the brisk, cold air of
New Zealand and Australia, said
Miss Kester, who remarked that
“New Zealand and Australia re¬
mind me of California.”
From all sides Miss Kester was
asked questions on Hollywood.
From her own deductions she found
that Joan Crawford and Shirley
Temple were the favorites among
the women and Clark Gable amonu
the men. Their ideas of America
are formed from the films shown
there. They were very much in¬
terested in the Pasadena Com¬
munity Playhouse, particularly
those who were interested in little
theater work.
Miss Kester met many new and
old friends. She said, “Everywhere I
was met with extreme courtesy and
friendliness. The English people
of New Zealand and Australia are
made delightful friends everywhere.
In Sidney I was met and guest
part of the time of Mr. and Mrs.
William Dale Leech. Mr. Leech
was formerly a member of the
physical science department of
Pasadena junior college about
three years ago. On leaving Pasa¬
dena he went to Germany to se¬
cure equipment for his laboratory
in Sidney, which is now the finest
equipped laboratory in Australia.
Mr. Leech is now Director of Food
Research for Australia, and is very
highly regarded as a scientist. I
also had the pleasure of meeting
Doctor Warren Harding and Dr.
Francis Harding, cousins of Miss
Nelle Marie Remsberg, who is on
our faculty here.”
In describing the scenery, Miss
Kester remarked, “I’ve never seen
such wonderful scenery, mountains,
caves, lakes, rivers, gorges, dense
bush, and swamps, but although
my trip was most enjoyable and
entertaining I am exceedingly glae
to he back in Pasadena. I have
found that Pasadena, as a place
to live, is by far the best.”

“Every eleventh grade girl is
most cordially invited to come to
the meetings of this club,” said
M.ary-Martha Moreland, club ed-
viser. “Please notice the time has
been changed to 4 o’clock. This is

sports night for women students
also comes on Tuesday afternoon,
and many girls, who would like to
attend this demonstration of cos¬
metics, will also wish to sign up
for a sport. The Frosh Club em¬
phatically does not wish to conflict
with the other women’s activities
on the campus, and will meet after
sports on Tuesdays. Those who do
not go out for sports are invited
to use 104D, on meeting nights af¬
ter 3 o’clock, for a place to meet
friends, do home work or have in¬
formal discussion groups.”
Bi-monthly meetings, featured by
one pot-luck supper and discussion
group, and one informal demonstra¬
tion of subjects of interest to mem¬
bers, will be the scheduled program
of the club. Meetings will be held
on Tuesdays in 104D, unless other¬
wise announced.
October 13 will be the date of the
first pot-luck supper. Election of
officers will .also be held. Members
of the nominating committee are
Phyllis Marston, Betty Burt, Mu¬
riel Scott, Mary Ellen Sheehy and
Barsje Ekdom. Jean Ford ha,s been
appointed acting club chairman un¬
til officers are elected.
Members of the nominating com¬
mittee are requested to attend a
meeting, Friday, October 2, at 3:15,
in 104D. It is absolutely necessary
that they leave copies of their
present programs with Miss Flo¬
rence Wright, in the dean of wom¬

Appear Soon
Campus writers who are anxious
to get their work in print are in¬
vited to submit manuscripts for
publication in the new Nom de
Plume club magazine, as yet to be

last year’s president.
Manuscripts from non-memb°r
contributors are to be placed in the
desk of Ellen Lombard, secretary
