Pasadena-Compton Pigskin Battle To
Highlight Colorful Red And White Day
As a fitting climax to this great Red and White day, Pasadena’s 1945 edition of Junior College
football makes its season debat tonight, as the Maroon and Gray gridders from Compton invade the
Rose Bowl.
It’s the great grudge battle of the year, with the Tartars, who have been worrying about lack of tlli‘
touchdown talent, tangling with Coach Stark’s new “T” formation in what should prove to be one of K K 8 P g •
the season’s most highly contested encounters. _ _
The game will feature the gala — |jj — — — — —
Observing our great victory o-
ver the waring powers, a massive
V formation depicting life in the
United Nations, will represent
PJC’s formal celebration of V-J
Day between halves at the PJC
vs. Compton football game in the
Rose Bowl this evening at 8:00
p. m.
The pageant will enter the bowl
at the south entrance, and after
each scene will form a huge V
formation, which will be backed
up by a unit of Camp Hahn sol¬
diers and the Red Cross. In rev¬
erent tribute, taps will be blown
over the silenced field for the
thousands of gallant men who
have died for the cause of liber¬
ty. Euterpeans singing “This is
My Country” will lead to the cli¬
max in which the entire audience
will join in on “The Star Span¬
gled Banner.”
Various clubs on campus will
enact scenes according to the na¬
tion they represent, in the midst
of a mammoth V which will have
at its apex a living replica of
Undo Sam. Among the many
scenes to be given will be Filo-
gian in the representation of
“Typical Youth of the US,” Jun¬
ior Women’s Club as “Chefs of
the US,” Sorelle presenting “Chi¬
na,” and “Hawaii” represented by
the Senior Class Council and L’-
Amitie combined.

committee incharge of the entire
affair, Miss Katherine Kester,

New Cabinet
Post Created
Jane Bates, Huddle Editor, was
elected to a Cabinet post at the
weekly meeting Thursday, Sep-
: tember 20. She is the first edit¬
or of the football program to re-
‘ ceive this position.
Campus Editor, Marilyn Robin-
• son outlined the’ policy for next
year’s edition. Deviating from the
>. usual Campus pattern, this ed¬
ition will not have specific sec-
■v tions. The publication will be
more unified; a story will untold
, as the book progresses.
Discussion also centered around
tonight’s Victory Pageant, revis¬
ion of the service point system
and the creation of an office of
Secretary of Drama. The Drama
Department has never been rep¬
resented in the cabinet.
A Club President’s breakfast
was suggested by Dr. Robbins,
Dean of Women.
The Cabinet is composed of
those who having applied for an
appointive office and having
been interviewed by the Civil Ser-
* vice Commission, are appointed
by the president with the approv¬
al of the Board.
Victory Pageant at half-time and
the musical spirit of the Bulldog
band.
Coach Joe “Cowboy” Forbes,
Hub City mentor, says he doesn’t
have much to offer, compared
with last year’s championship
squad, while on the other side of
the program the Pasadena pig¬
skin luggers are looking toward
a very successful year.
Backing up this hope are three
returning lettermen, who will
start tonight for the Bulldogs,
and other pup school stars whose
record ,at least, is impressive.
Frank Arcuri, all-state last
year, will be at one end and let¬
ter winner Leon Ring at the oth¬
er. Sal Reyes, third returnee will
receive the starting call at right
end.
Bob Hudson and Jim Thomas,
Moor graduates, will add weight
to the forward wall at tackles.
Charlie Burch will fill in the other
guard gap and Harold Shunn is
slated to start at center for the
locals.
Jack Allen will call signals at
quarter with the top of the “T”
rounded out by Binswanger at
full and Gates and Anderson at
half-back posts.
A recor crowd is expected at
PJC’s first peacetime game in
the last four years.

ean singing club were honored

39, at the San Marino home of

of song for the gala Victory Pag¬
eant to be staged betwen halves
at the Compton-PJC season op¬
ener game in the Rose Bowl, the

ed, Margaret Ellington has taken

This vocal group is open to
students who have tried out be¬
fore Miss Lula C. Parmley, ad¬
viser, or before the group itself.
Besides acting as a club, with of¬
ficers and rules, this organization
may be taken as a class for units.
Decked out in their brightest
red and white duds, PJC’ers to¬
day will give Pasadena a taste
of their school spirit. A lively
Pep Assembly will set things off,
with our yell leaders giving us
vim, vigor and a new routine, the
pom-pom girls, the Bulldog Band
and others.
Students will be dismissed at
1:00 o’clock giving the men stu¬
dents the opportunity to attend
the Red and White Luncheon and
the girls sufficient time to pre¬
pare for the pageant.
Strictly stag, the Red and
White Luncheon starts out a
great year for the Bulldogs.
Coach La Brucherie of UCLA will
speak to the four-hundred or
more men students and their one-
hundred guests, including the
Compton tootball team and many
business men. Special entertain¬
ment includes the Nysaeans, the
Euterpeans and the Bulldog Band.
With the Spartans donating
their services to the luncheon, it
will commence at 12:15, although
the program will be at 1:00 o’¬
clock in the space west of the
Student Union.
Later this evening is the much-
publicized Victory Pageant, in
which many clubs are participa¬
ting.
Winding up this special day is
the big, long-awaited Compton
football game, which has been
termed our grudge game.
Phi Rho Pi Wins
Greatest Honor
Pasadena Alpha Chapter of
Phi Itho Pi, for the first time in
its history, has had its student
officer appointed as the National
Student Secretary of Phi Rho Pi.
Lillian Kovar, president of PJC’s
honorary speech fraternity has
accepted the honor extended hfer
by the faculty board.
The duties of the National Sec¬
retary are twofold. The first of
these is to afford student super¬
vision over all chapters of Phi
Rho Pi in the United States. Sec¬
ondly, Lillian will be expected to
try and bring into existence new
organizations and strengthen
those already formed.
The Pasadena Junior College
Phi Rho Pi society is not only
the largest chapter in the United
States but also the strongest.
Many members now have jewels
in their pin for outstanding ac¬
tivity in oratory, debate and pub¬
lic speaking. Representatives of
Pho Rho Pi won many of the
honors, in competition with
Southern California Colleges, of
last year’s speech activities.
Mrs. Peters, adviser, said, “I
know that Lillian will make a
success of this position. We, of
Pasadena Junior College should
be very proud of this honor that
we have received.”
Now that the war is over, Phi
Rho Pi is expected to once again
become one of the outstanding
organizations on campus.
