Greetings to New Students:
Welcome to Pasadena City Col¬
lege. The faculty and administra¬
tion of the College welcome you
and hope that you will soon feel
at home here.
I think all of us recognize the
fact that these are uncertain
times in which it is difficult for
young men and women to plan
with certainty and security their
future program. We do know,
however, that regardless of what
the future holds, the best possi¬
ble preparation which we, as in¬
dividuals, can make is to take
advantage of the greatest possi¬
ble effort to utilize these educa¬
tional opportunities to the ut¬
most.
Here at Pasadena City College
you will find splendid and almost
unmatched educational facilities
and faculty. We hope that you
will soon become familiar with
the opportunities, that you will
learn to know the personnel, and
that you will be able to benefit
by this knowledge. We hope also
that you will learn to know your
student body government, and
that you will participate as an ac¬
tive member in its activities:
When the time comes for you to
leave this institution, I am sure
that you will find you have bene-
fitted from your classwork and
from your student activities al¬
most exactly in proportion to the
amount of time and effort you
have devoted to these fields of
opportunity at the College.
Hello Fellow Students:
First I want to give you my
thanks and my pledge. Thanks
for your support and confidence
in the past. I pledge to work
continually to serve the interests
of the majority at all times in
the future. There are many
things to be done in the coming
months. Success of any kind
will be impossible without all of
us working for the same goal.
Service must be the leading fac¬
tor in all decisions. Not, however,
service to our own selfish am¬
bitions, but rather service to
principles and ideals of good gov¬
ernment. I accepted your confi¬
dence and trust when you elected
me your student body president.
I also accepted the responsibili¬
ties and traditions that make the
job a failure or success. I am
thankful for the opportunity to
serve. May we work at all times
together for the good of SER¬
VICE, our watchword for the
coming semester.
John FitzRandolph,
ASB President
If there is any way in which
members of the faculty and ad¬
ministration can be of personal
assistance to you, please feel free
to call on us.
Best of success to you in the
semester that lies ahead!
