VI., NO. 147 PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1925 THE WEATHER: OUR SCHOOL Comment and Discussion by Betty Roberts. A City AVithin a City 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.

BE DEDICATED Probably Most Modern and Largest on Pacific Coast 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.

IN SENATE J. S. Macdonnell Receives News of McFadden Measure Staff of Student Editors Write and Every News Item in Tost* Tonight Edit Today's Post! Work of Students in Those who are responsible for this edition of the Post are as ' follows: Betty Roberts, editor-in-chief; Louis Creveling, city editor; Fred Paul, business manager; Kath- eryn Allen, society editor; James Simsariam, telegraph editor; Ralph Moslander and Donald Davis, city hall; Virginia Larson, editorials; Neil Campbell and Betty Roberts-; dramatic critics; Morris Jackson and Nobu Kawai, headline writers; James Allen, I Masonic Temple. By GORDON SPAULDING 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.

Hum¬ phrey to be a member of the fed¬ eral trade commission was ap¬ proved today by the senate inter¬ state commerce committee. By FRED PAUL 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¬ ing which these students have received in high school.

Colo¬ rado street to Center street; El Dorado street, Los Robies avenue to Madison avenue, according to an announcement^^ the Pasadena water departmej^^Jclay elry and other valuables were re¬ moved. At 9:08 p. m. R. C. Sage report- 1 ed that his home, at 2035 Paloma street, had been entered and that various articles of value, were missing. At 9:35, the home of Mrs. E. Carr, 1771 Loma Yista street, was robbed of jewelry and money consisting of the following: One signet ring, three stick pins (one gold), one opal, a pair of gold cuff buttons set with agate stones, one gold ring (engraved), one sterling silver ring set with pearls, $16 in cash. Access to the home was gained through a hack bedroom window. At 10 p. m., thieves entered the home of W. B. Smith, 2025 Pa¬ loma street and removed articles of value and importance. A short time later the home of 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.

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 (Continued on Page 11)
