Honoring the 1951 Rose Tournament princesses, the traditional Royal Ball will be held
Monday, December 18, from 9 p.m. to midnight at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.

National Mag
Poetry compositions of four
City Collegians have been select¬
ed for reproduction in the Na¬
tional Anthology of College
Verse, Miss Jessie Paxton, cre¬
ative writing instructor, revealed
Friday.
“Not These,” written by Mrs.
Mary Braun, appeared in the 1949
edition of Pipes of Pan, local an¬
thology of student writing, and
was selected for national publi¬
cation, as were “Fragments,” by
Mrs. Roberta Corson; “I Love
“AW, PLEASE! . . .” pleads Harry Lund and John Nicholson
as they beg Marguerite Russell (who’s not interested), Phyllis

azine Honors Campus Poets
You,” by Mrs. Gladys Southern;
and “On An Autumn Hilltop,”
by William Linville.
Mrs. Corson was also repre¬
sented two years ago in the Na¬
tional Anthology.
The four poems were com¬
posed for last year’s creative
writing class. “Only these people
submitted work, and all compo¬
sitions were accepted, giving us
a 100 per cent record,” Miss Pax¬
ton disclosed. PCC is one of the
few junior colleges to compete
for anthology honors.
A March 1 deadline has been
set for material submitted to
Pipes of Pan for 1951 by Co-edi¬
tors Joan Chambers and Mrs.
Corson, both creative writing stu¬
dents ' this semester. City Col¬
legians with literary ability are
urged to turn samples of their

vision speakers are being heard
in rooms 12C and 158C.
Following today’s prelimin¬
aries, semi-final judging of the
upper division will " be done to¬
morrow in room 12C, and lower
division competitors will perform
in room 28C. The final contest
will take place at the Women’s
City Club on December 11 at
6:30 p.m.
Participants will be required
to speak from five to seven
minutes on one of several avail¬
able topics. According to Mrs.
Virginia Kersting, who is in
charge of the contest, the speech
is neither an oration nor an ex¬
ercise in interpretation, but an
extemporaneous speech in the
style of good conversation.
Speeches will be judged on both
organization and presentation.
