Journalism Pupils
Undertake Unique
Project at School
SUCH is the Pasadena high
school. A miniature city
of four thousand with all
the interests, work and activi¬
ties of the large municipality.
At the beginning of each
semester the student body
elects seven commissioners
who control the legislative, ex¬
ecutive and judicial powers of
the school. These commis¬
sioners are the directors of the
following departments: Fin¬
ance, debating, entertainment,
publications, athletics, girls’
welfare and boys' welfare.
Each of these officeholders is
aided in his endeavors by a
faculty member. For the
judicial branch, five other
students are appointed by the
commission to form the stu¬
dent council, and “woe betide”
any recreant member of the
student body.
* * *
JUST as the large city has its busi¬
ness concerns, so we have in our
miniature city different “busi¬
nesses” — courses of instruction —
each one tending to prepare us for
the larger affairs of the outside
world. The following courses are
given: English, journalism, an¬
cient language, library, agricul¬
ture, arts and crafts, commerce,
mathematics, biological science,
physical science, music, ~ social
science, physical education, home
economics, manual arts, nursing,
printing, and general science.
This is a great change from the
old order of the three “R’sl”
As 'for other activities which
are carried on in the school there
is no limit. There are over forty
student clubs, each with a faculty
adviser, which touch every phase
of modern life, including musical,
forensic, literary, dramatic, artis¬
tic, and athletic.
* * *
WE HAVEN’T a country club,
but each of us “patronizes”
the gymnasium for one hour a day
to keep fit. Every facility for
physical training is supplied, a
wonderful swimming tank, foot¬
ball fields, tennis and basketball
courts, a boys’ gym and a girls’,
and two hockey fields. All the
work is directed by a most com¬
petent corps of teachers and
coaches.,
Not only do we use “our city,”
but. the people of the outside city
use it also. Nearly all of the sub¬
jects which are taught during the
day are taught to the older “citi¬
zens” during the afternoon and
evening. This is a city institution
which benefits all.
w * *
IN EVERY well-organized com¬
munity the proper housing con¬
ditions play an important part.
This is particularly true of Pasa¬
dena, “the ideal home city,” and
it is also true -of Pasadena High
school. After a recent survey of
105 high school plants in Califor¬
nia, Dr. Lars Peterson of the Uni¬
versity of California, reported that
he considered Pasadena High the
best in the state. Our plant in¬
cludes a main building which holds
the administration offices, audi¬
torium, student bank, book store,
cafeteria, student body office, and
here English, mathematics, social
science, subjects, and the lan¬
guages are taught, a biological
science building, a domestic science
building, music hall, band room,
agriculture building, manual arts
building, a new boiler-room and
laundry, carpenter workshop and
boys’ dressing rooms under the
bleachers.

BUT where would we be with our
fine, city if it were not for the
older comrades of our life and
work who have made it all pos¬
sible? „Not very far along. We
thank you. We also wish to
heartily thank the owners and edi¬
tors of the Pasadena Evening Post
for their faith in our preparatory
training and for allowing us to
carry out, in the large city, the
lessons we have learned along the
newspaper line in “Our City.”
To collect valuable material
on the subject of journalism, a
library tvas established last
year by the members of the
press club in the journalism de¬
partment of the Pasadena High
school.
Articles, in current magazines
of criticisms and comments on
newspaper problems, are of
practical value to the boys and
girls training lor journalistic
work.
These magazines are placed
in card-board covers with the
design below pasted on the front
cover. This gives students the
information desired without
wasting time looking up refer¬
ence in the large school library.
The Press club will gladly re¬
ceive at any time magazines for
their library from interested
outsiders.

EGYPTIAN M0TIFF KEPT
Services to Take Place To¬
morrow Evening at
8 o’clock
By JAMES P. ALLEN
One of the most beautiful and
noble buildings in all Southern
California, the new Scottish Rite
cathedral, on North Madison ave¬
nue, will be dedicated tomorrow
night at 8 o’clock with highly im¬
pressive ceremonies. This is said
to be one of the handsomest and
best furnished cathedrals in all of
the world of Masonry and Pasa¬
dena Masons have just cause to
feel proud of it. *
Situated on North Madison ave¬
nue, just far enough ajmy from
the noise and rumble of the busi¬
ness streets and yet close enough
to he centrally located it would
be hard for the Masons to sur¬
pass in any way their new loca¬
tion.
In size’ it is probably the larg¬
est and most comfortable building
of its kind on the Pacific coast
and will care for the needs of the
Masons for many, many years to
come. It is finished throughout
in an Egyptian scheme and every¬
thing from the two stone sphinx,
which guard its portals, to the
ceiling of the banquet room; lends
itself admirably. On each side of
the entrance is a plaque, one ded¬
icating the building to God and
humanity and the other dedicated
to Charles Joseph Willet, 33d de¬
gree, charter member and friend
of the local consistory.
On the ground floor is an im¬
mense banquet room, the largest
in the entire city, which will seat
7 50 people at dinner. Adjoining
this room is a kitchen, modern in
every respect.
The main auditorium, which
will seat some 1000 people, is a
wonder to behold, with its high
ceiling, balcony and organ loft.
The stage with its equipment for
the initiations into the various de¬
grees is as complete as could be
wished and the lighting effects
cannot be surpassed.
The lounging rooms, with its
fireplace and furniture made in
Pasadena, to match the finish of
the room, are all that could be
asked for to furnish comfort and
pleasure to the Masons of Pasa¬
dena. The card room and billard
hall are complete in every re¬
spect.
The robing room, with its lock¬
ers for the robes and head dress
for each degree of Masonry, con¬
tains some $15,000 worth of
robes, all of which are new, and
of the very finest of materials.
The services dedicating this
marvelous building to the Masonic
cause will take place - tomorrow
evening at 8 o’clock. Perry W.
Weidner, 33d degree, sovereign
grand inspector for Southern Cali¬
fornia and Arizona, and Leon M-,
Abbott, 33d degree, sovereign
grand commander for the north¬
ern jurisdiction of the United
States, will be the speakers of the
evening. Rev. A. W. Abberley,
32d degree, will deliver the bene¬
diction.
Designers of San Francisco
City Hall Say All De¬
tails Ready
By ROBERT CHAPIN
! The Civic Center of Pasadena
| is almost a realty. The last meet-
ling of the Planning Committee
| and the Board of Directors
| brought to light the fact that only
j one detail awaited the decision of
I the combined committees. This is
j in regard to the design of the
pupola on the City Hall. The
committee seemed to be in favor
of the cupola as designed by the
architects, but it was the fear of
many that there would not be
sufficient funds to go on with
his beautiful, but .rather costly
part of the building.
The plans, as drawn and par¬
tially approved, provide for a
building somewhat resembling the
City Hall of San Francisco and
the San Diego exposition building.
The tower, as shown in the first
drawings published, will not be
executed, as it was not satis¬
factory to the Board. The tower
included in the present drawings
will be a thing of beauty and use¬
fulness if approved by the com¬
mittees.
The people of Pasadena should
feel pride in having a Civic Cen¬
ter of such beauty in the making.
It was felt by some members of
the Board of Directors, that the
public did not understand the
facts as they have been presented
from time to time. The main en¬
trance to the group will be on the
Gstrfield side, arid it is upon this
side that the City Hall will he
erected. The long building will
he graced by a beautiful cupola
covered with red tile-. A semi-
Gothic spire will top this cupola.
As the meeting drew to a close,
Hiram Henry Wadsworth asked
the architects if all was in readi¬
ness for the completion of the
plans. The architects, who by
the way, designed the San Fran¬
cisco City Hall, answered that
every detail was understood. At
this, Mr. Wadsworth replied, “All
ready then, let ’er rip.”
Meet to Make Plans
for 1932 Anniversary
By Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. —
The commission to arrange for the
celebration in 1932 of the 200th
anniversary of the birth of George
Washington held its first meeting
today at the White House with
President Coolidge.
HOPES BUSIED
BY DISCOVERY OF
ELECTRICAL DEN
Hopes of three hoys to become
electrical wizards were blasted
when their den was discovered by
a deputy constable yesterday. The
den was a small cave that they had
dug in the hills near the Foothill
boulevard. Approximately $1000
worth of telephones, fire alarm
boxes, arpenter tools and electrical
appliances of all kinds were found
in the cave.
The boys had hoped to convert
their underground den into a good
shop of electrical appliances. The
stolen goods in the cave explains
many of the burglaries committed
during the last few months. Since
all the Pasadena boys were about
17 years old, they will be turned
over to the juvenile authorities
today.
Branch Library to
Move in New Home
By JOHN GOLDSWORTHY
About the first of May the
east branch library, which is at
present located at 12 98 East Colo¬
rado street, will move to its new
building on South Hill avenue.
It will then be called the Hill
avenue branch. The capacity of
the new building is 18,000 books,
but at present there are only 9000
to fill it. Reading rooms for
adults as well as for young people
have been built opening onto a
patio.

The McFadden bill, the object
of which is to establish the na¬
tional banks, the backbone of the
federal reserve system, on a par
with state banks, has recently
been reported by the senate com¬
mittee with section 9 eliminated,
which action, according to J. S.
Macdonnell, president of the First
National bank, practically annuls
the efficacy of the bill.
Heretofore, state banks have
been allowed to establish branches
both in and out of their home
towns. This no national bank has
been allowed to do. To rectify
this condition the McFadden bill
proposed in section 8 to give na¬
tional banks the right to estab¬
lish branches within the corpo¬
rate limits of the cities in which
their headquarters are located,
and in section 9 to forbid state
banks with out-of-town branches
entrance into the federal reserve
system, except upon relinquish¬
ment of such branches.
Since all national banks are
compulsory members of the fed¬
eral reserve system, and state
banks optional members, the
state banks have had more privi¬
leges than the national banks,
which at the same time are the
backbone of the system. The re¬
sult is apparent. There are now
a number of banks in California
that have changed from national
to state hanks. Those who favor
the bill claim that it will strength¬
en the federal reserve system.
The house passed both sections
8 and 9 by a large majority. As
said, section 9 has been eliminat¬
ed by the senate committee. Pro¬
ponents of the bill will now prob¬
ably attempt to reintroduce sec¬
tion 9, or one similar to it, when
the measure appears before the
joint conference committee.

The “high-and-mighty” senior
of Pasadena High school had his
inning today noon when they
heard nomination speeches that
were made for class officers. The
good points, the brilliant efforts,
and everything in favor of the can¬
didates were made in the state¬
ments by the various nominating
students. For the highest honor
in the senior class is that of 'the
boy or girl who is president when
the class graduates and for that
honor there are three candidates.
Edward Collins of “football-track-
basketball-swimming and base¬
ball” fame was nominated by Jim¬
my Illiff for the office of presi¬
dent. Charles Dickerman, ex-com¬
missioner of finance, and captain
of the lightweight basketball team,
is also a candidate for senior class
president, as is Ben Soloman. Ben
j has been identified with high
'school activities for many years
land has many friends in the senior
j class and is expected to make a
strong bid for the position.
For vice president are Lois Ew¬
ing and Natalie Vencinti; while
Douglas Gregg, Richard O’Dell,
Carl Rodi, and Sumner Greene are
in the field for the treasurership
of the class. In the list for sec¬
retary is Hazel Ivinkaid, Donald
Wright, Eugene Payne and Doris
CLewett. The election is scheduled
for the early part of next week
and it is to he a hot one, accord¬
ing to advance notices.
Every news item in this is¬
sue of the Pasadena Evening'
Post, written and edited by
students of the Pasadena
high school, journalism de¬
partment, carries the names
of the writers above the ar¬
ticles. Although tills Is not
the regular policy of the pa¬
per, it should add much in¬
terest to this edition, as well
as give the reader a good
idea of the value of the train¬

received in high school.

At 9:35, the home of Mrs. E.

was robbed of jewelry and money
consisting of the following: One
signet ring, three stick pins (one
gold), one opal, a pair of gold

one gold ring (engraved), one
sterling silver ring set with
pearls, $16 in cash. Access to the

L. W. Blackburn, 1778 Linda
Vista, was entered and jewelry
and other valuables were taken.
Besides taking a gold fountain
pen and a gold pencil, the thieves
appropriated a deputy sheriff's
badge. Evidently the badge was
wanted for future use, since it is
not uncommon for robbers to im¬
personate officers. By tearing a
screen from a side window, the
thieves were able to enter 'he
house.
Folice believe that these rob¬
beries were committed by an or¬
ganized gang of thieves. Detec¬
tive Lieutenants Ben Kaighin and
Stanley Decker were assigned to
the cases and report that they are
working on possible clues today.

Impossible for Physician to
Reach Victim; Delay
Official Report
By AsMM’int.Ml 1'resH
CAVE CITY, Ky., Feb. 16,—
Floyd Collins was reached and
found dead at 2:45 this afternoon,
it was officially announced after
rescuers had penetrated into what
they believed was the original
Sand cavern where Collins was
caught.
No medical examination was
made and it was impossible for a
physician to reach the victim.
First to See Victim
H. T. Carmichael was the first
man to go to Collins. He said
that apparently he was dead.
The announcement of the find¬
ing of Collins was made by Dr. W.
D. Funkhouser, geologist of the
University of Kentucky.
Preparations were made imme¬
diately for Major Moss and Cap¬
tain Francis, medical officers of
the 149tli infantry, Bowling Green,
and Dr. William Hazlett, Chicago,
to fo to Collins.
Mr. Carmichael and M. E. S.
Posey, executive secretary of the
state highway department and
personal representative of Gov¬
ernor William J. Fields, were to
accompany tho physicians to
Collins.
Guards at Cave
Guards stood about the mouth
of the shaft., with bayonets fixed
and there was little commotion on
the surface. An official statement
Was promised, within a few min¬
utes.
Physicians were hurriedly called
to the mouth of the cave as a
precaution if their services should
he needed.
No estimate was given as to how
soon v.Collins could he extricated
from the natural rock vise which
trapped hint January 30.
It was reported by a workman
that the roof of the' cavern over
Collins gave way causing them to
reach him several hours before
they had expected.
Homer Collins, brother of the
entombed man, was at the mouth
of the shaft. He had been there
the greater part of the day.
End of Struggle
-When the miners crashed
through into the passage leading
to Collins, H. T. Carmichael, res¬
cue director, went down the shaft
into the cave where, he said, he
saw Collins lying apparently dead.
He returned to the surface and
announced the end of the struggle.
Homer Collins, who had made
heroic efforts to save his brother,
Floyd, bore up well when Dr.
Funkhouser made the first an¬
nouncement.
“I had never really hoped to
see Floyd alive after the first slide
in Sand cave,” said Homer to
newspapermen.
At 10:30 o’clock, the lateral
heading, at a distance of 121 feet
from the shaft and measured cir¬
cularly broke through into the
original cave just as the man-hole
was started, just below the break¬
down.
Dream Revealed
With the finding of Collins’ life¬
less form it was realized that Col¬
lins’ dream of three weeks ago
was a presentment which had
come true.
“I dreamed I was caught in
rock and the angels came and
took me away,” he had told his
stepmother, Mrs. Jane Collins,
three weeks ago today, after hav¬
ing announced to her that he had
before him two days of the most
dangerous cave exploring he had
ever attempted. Mrs. Collins had
urged Floyd to abandon his inten¬
tions to explore Sand cave.
The report of Collins’ dream was
put into the records of the military
court of inquiry in the testimony
of his father, Lee Collins.
The first intimation of the old
tunnel was the finding of several
bottles, working tools, lines Of
wires and lines of rope.
Mr. Carmichael was called in by
Alfred Marshall when these were
found. In the shaft were A. Mar¬
shall, A. B. Levins, Simon John
and John Stevens. Immediately
afterward Mike Brenner was called
in to lnrrry the timber work, the
old cavern being found in an ex¬
tremely critical condition.
At 3:40 p. m. no official repori
had been made, however, saying
Collins was dead.
At 3 p. m., Captain
В.
E.
Frances, a medical official of the
149th infantry, volunteered to go
down in the shaft to Collins. No
report has been received as to his
examination.
Gen. Denhardt, Carmichael, Dr.
Funkhouser and Cap't, Alex M.
Chaney and J. C. Polin were
grouped around the top of the
