FIELD DAY
TO BE HELD
NEXT FRIDAY
P.J.C. Bulldogs to Clash with
Manual Arts; Muir Tech
Meets Burbank
SCHOOL CLOSES AT NOON
25c Admission Goes to Fund
for City Schools’ Float
in Rose Parade
To give every school student in
the Pasadena system an opportun¬
ity to see the Field Day program
at Horrell Field, October 5, upper
division classes will end at the be¬
ginning of the first lunch period.
Other schools in Pasadena will
close their doors at 12:30.
To raise funds to finance the
floats that will represent the Pasa¬
dena city schools on January 1,
1929, the Public Schools Activities
committee of Pasadena has planned
a very full and interesting pro¬
gram for the day. Last year the
attendance w a s approximately
4000. However, the committee ex¬
pects, at the least, a students’ and
adult representation of about 8000.
One Price Admission
A departure from last year’s
schedule will be the change in the
price of admission. Previously,
there were three admission prices
of 15, 25 and 50 cents. In the com¬
ing program, however, only 25
cents will be required of everyone,
regardless of size, age, or weight.
An extensive program featuring
two football games of high caliber
have been planned. At 1:30, the
John Muir high school will meet
the Burbank varsity in a football
game. Following this game will
be the classic of the day, bringing
together the traditional rivals of
the City league days; namely, Pas¬
adena’s second litter Bulldogs and
the strong Toiler varsity from
Manual Arts high school. The
teams participating in both games
are evenly matched and an excep¬
tionally hard fought game is ex¬
pected.
As an added attraction, the
freshmen and sophomore classes
will meet upon the field of battle.
A fierce and intensely furious en¬
counter is predicted between the
two groups. The definite particu¬
lars of this phase of the program
have not as yet been completed,
but the different committees are
working hard to make the meeting
of the two classes as thrilling as
possible.
Mr. Dunn, who is to be in
charge of the program on the field,
comments favorably on the pro¬
gram to be presented and expects
every student to attend the games,
since school is to close two hours
before the regular schedule.

Police Judge Urges Observance
of Parking Rules About Campus
Asks Students to Use the “Golden Rule” Relative to School
Crossings; Candidates for Yell Leaders Try
Out; Quartet Pleases Assembly
Reading a letter from Leonard
L. Riccardi, judge of the Pasadena
police court, Mr. John W. Harbe¬
son, principal, urged strict observ¬
ance of all traffic regulations in a
talk before a student assembly
Thursday noon. The letter follows:
To Students and Teachers at the
Pasadena High School:
As the Pasadena high school
authorities have provided ample
parking facilities for your conven¬
ience in the rear of the building,
there is no acceptable excuse to
offer in the Pasadena police court
for violation of the no parking-
rule on Colorado street in front
of the high school, nor overtime
parking on signed streets near that
institution.
Violators to Be Punished
Any student or teacher who re¬
ceives a citation for violating
either of the above specified viola¬
tions, and is convicted in police
court, will pay for taking a chance,
and a second and third conviction
for such like offense, will be more
severe.
Please use the “Golden Rule”
relative to school crossings, be fair
to motorists, who must give right
of way when you are in the right
half of the walking or school lane.
Do not wait until the motorist is
just about to enter the lane and
step down ; give him or her an even
break, but remember, anyone who
drives a car and takes advantage
FreshmanJVeek Held _
aUjohiT Muir^Tech
Freshman week is in full swing
at John Muir Technical high
school. The 9-1’s and 10-1’s, or
“scrubs,” as they are called, were
introduced to the traditions and
ways of Tech.
The girls held an assembly for
the freshmen girls last week, and
as each new girl entered the audi¬
torium, she was handed a paper
towel to wash the cosmetics off her
face, and a piece of green paper
to tie around her right leg. All
new girls were compelled to turn
their middies around, and wear
the back to the front for the rest
of the week.
The freshmen boys then had
their turn. The “scrub” must do
anything that his upper classmen
desired. If he was disrespectful or
disinclined to work, he was pad-
died. He had to thank the person
who paddled him, with “Thank
you, sir.” Some freshmen were fed
blue pills, which gave them the ap¬
pearance of having swallowed ink.
All the freshmen were finally
marched on to the front lawn,
where they had to pass, minus
their shoes and stockings, in front
of the Muir Tech Stone, kneeling
down and kissing it, as they
marched by. In the meanwhile, the
upper classmen had tied their
shoes and stockings into knots, and
the last ten to get their shoes on
were paddled.
of you, the law will take care of
him severely — the police court
gives protection as well as punish¬
ment.
The same parking rules cover
students at night sessions as the
day students.
Asking for your cooperation,
Pasadena

• Court,
Leonard L. Riccardi, Judge.
(Signed) Frank Freytag, Jr.,
Clerk of Court.
“I’m sure you will all be glad
to cooperate with the police de¬
partment in this matter,” said Mr.
Harbeson.
Yell Leaders Try Out
Eight candidates for positions as
yell-leaders next demonstrated
their ability and lung power. The
candidates are: Bud Miller, Her¬
bert Lester, Bob Jayred, Ben
Jones, Jim Scott, George White,
Jack Layng, Ed Kingsley.
A quartet led by Elaine Dam-
meral played several popular num¬
bers, including “Girl of My
Dreams,” “Pm Writing You This
Little Melody,” and “Dream
House.” Members of the quartet
were: Elaine Dammeral, violin and
conductor; Sherly Worley, piano;
Velma Whipple, flute; Garth
Blakesless, trumpet.
New Rules, New
Officers for AW S
Nomination speeches for officers
of the Associated Women Students,
the reading of the A. W. S. con¬
stitution, and a short talk on
school spirit by Miss Ida E. Hawes,
dean of women, featured the meet¬
ing of the Associated Women Stu¬
dents held in the men’s gym last
Friday.
The proposed constitution of the
A. W. S. was read by Olive Par¬
sons, acting secretary, and unani¬
mously adopted. A committee of
girls under the chairmanship of
Geraldine Anderson, prepared this'
constitution during the summer va¬
cation.
The nomination speeches that
followed were both novel and clev¬
er, and the fact that the audience
found them amusing was evinced
by the laughter and applause
which followed each speech. The
candidates for the various offices
are: First vice-president, Geral¬
dine Anderson, Barbara Stevens;
second vice-president, Marjorie
Strohm, Neva Bugbee, Dorthea
Capps; secretary, Betty Jackson;
treasurer, Olive Parsons.
Miss Hawes, dean of women,
spoke for a few moments on the
splendid spirit of cooperation
shown by the wmoen students. “I
hope, and sincerely believe, that
this same fine spirit will continue
throughout the year,” said Miss
Hawes.
Several popular piano numbers
were then played by Isabelle Fox.

Bigger Better Pompons
This Year, -Miss JHawes
Pompons will go on sale a few
days before the Whittier game,
which will be played on October
12. According to Miss Ida E.
Hawes, dean of women, the pom¬
pons' this year are much bigger
and better than those sold last
year.
“Instead of the red and white
paper being mixed together, the
red will be on the outside. This
gives a much prettier pompon,”
said Miss Hawes, “and shows off
our school colors well.”
Fifteen cents is the price of the
pompons this year, while last year
they were ten cents. However, the
new ones are much larger.
Last year megaphones were sup¬
plied to the girls by a clothing
store in Los Angeles, but so far
this year there are no megaphones
for the games.
Mrs. Helen M. Stone
Sophomore Adviser
Returning members of the sopho¬
more class found that their des¬
tinies, due to various administra¬
tive changes, will be decided by
Mrs. Helen M. Stone. Sophomores
may look for an enjoyable and suc¬
cessful year, according to the new
adviser.
The first meeting of the class of
’31 will be held in the boys’ gym¬
nasium, Monday, October 1. The
purpose of the meeting is to have
a “peppy get acquainted jolly-up”
so that petitions for office may be
circulated intelligently. Any class-
man who is thinking of running-
for office is asked to see Mrs.
Stone in 6-C some time before
4:30, Friday afternoon.
In taking seats at the class
meeting, sophomores who have rep¬
resented their school in any activ¬
ity are asked to sit in a group near
the right in front. A list of these
has been compiled. There are now
about eighty-five.
The classmen of ’32 are asked to
cooperate better this year in pur¬
chasing membership cards, voting,
and attending all class activities.
Mrs. Stone wants to make this the
best year for the sophomore class
and feels that if all members co¬
operate it can be made a record
year.
New Music Course
The music department, under
the direction of Miss Parmalee,
has planned an extensive course in¬
cluding an understanding of dif¬
ferent tempos, stories of the great
operas, composers, Shubert, Men¬
delssohn, and others; the story of
their lives, and a study of their
compositions.
After finishing this course one
really understands that music is
not noise, but beauty.
To organize the club for this
year, a meeting of the Triple “S”
Literary society is being held in
200-B for all eleventh, twelfth, and
thirteenth year members, today.
Journalism Course Stiff
at U. of W. Says Grad
Advantages of attending the
school of journalism at the Uni¬
versity of Washington, Seattle,
were ponited out by Miss Ruth
Hubley, graduate of that institu¬
tion, in speaking to the advanced
journalism class, Wednesday morn¬
ing.
According to Miss Hubley, the
school of journalism has some of
the best journalists of the west
acting as instructors. “Instructors
are constantly being shifted,” said
Miss Hubley, “in that way up-to-
date ideas are always being offered
to the students.”
Various courses are given in the
school, ranging from news writing
to elements of publishing and in¬
cluding work on Seattle papers for
practical experience.
To graduate from the Univer¬
sity of Washington a student must
be qualified in shorthand and typ¬
ing, must have a
В
average, and
pass an eight-hour test.
Honor of Attending P. J. C.
to Be Deeply Impressed
upon Newcomers
With abounding spirit of good¬
will and friendship, Pasadena
junior college inaugurated a new
tradition to be added to the an¬
nals of college procedure, fresh¬
man week. That it was success¬
fully introduced was evidenced by
the many smiles of satisfaction as
shown by the upper classmen and
the looks of threatening retribution
upon the faces of the freshmen.
The 0-4-4 plan is responsible for
freshman week in that it provides
students of the college with a def¬
inite freshman class. “With such
a week as this for a precedent, the
coming years shall be a bit more
than interesting,” was the opinion
of upperclassmen.
Keep Things Lively
Freshman rushes to gain pos¬
sesion of the steps of the Horace
Mann building kept upper class-
men exceedingly busy in repulsing
such chai-ges. Flank movements,
, attacks from the air in the way
of gravel bombardments and a
continuous stream of water of
high compression, a “glorious”
I charge of the bombing brigade us-
; ing paper bags of cold water as
their weapons compromised the
military movements of both class¬
es. However, it seems that the
freshmen were effectively squelch¬
ed, for many groups of them could
be seen marching to the commands
of their superiors, furnishing their
traditional enemies with amuse¬
ment by singing, reciting poetry,
shining shoes, or anything that
their “honorable superiors” could
think up for their benefit.
A comment was made that
seemed to sum up the opinions of
many students presept. It was
concerning the fine spirit with
which the freshman class took the
hazing to which they were sub¬
jected. One freshman, after an
exceptionally hard tussle, said, “I
have never had so much fun be¬
fore. I am very glad that no one
took things seriously because I be¬
lieve that it was this spirit of
friendly give and take that made
more friends this week than ene-'
mies.”
One More Week
The upper classmen have yet
another week in which to continue
putting the freshmen through their
paces. As one leader expressed his
thoughts, “The freshmen must ex¬
perience humiliation and must rea¬
lize the honor that they are enjoy¬
ing in attending such an institu¬
tion as the Pasadena junior col¬
lege, and must show their appre¬
ciation for the same by fulfilling
the commands of their betters.”
The activities among the female
members of the freshman class
seem to be quiet.
A paddling committee has been
appointed to function in connec¬
tion with the upper classmen. It
is deemed unnecessary to list the
duties of the committee in view of
the title of the before mentioned
group. It is alleged that the com¬
mittee has something to do with
the dealing of proper punishment
to the “low - groveling worms
known as freshmen.”
Yearbook Bids Due
Bids from the photographer and
engraver for the 1929 year book
must be in by Monday, October 1,
according to Clarence Vetterli, sec¬
retary of publications.
A committee composed of Miss
Gladys L. Snyder, Clarence Vet¬
terli, Mr. Rex Truman, the editor,
and business manager, will choose
the lowest bidder.
