“We are all aware of the severe epidemic suffered last year, when

program of patient care, polio research and education depends en¬
tirely on the outcome of this year’s drive.”

section in this year’s annual.
Leave them in Ardienne Reilly’s
box in the Campus office. Snap¬

be returned.
Cordial greetings and a hearty
welcome for the new semester
which we are now entering. I
trust that it will prove a period
of rich growth and development
for you all.
To make it such you must be
regular and prompt in your at¬
tendance. No one can succeed in
college who has frequent ab¬
sences from class.
DR. JOHN HARBESON
. . . Principal
Make a good scholarship record
but don’t make just a grind. En¬
ter enthusiastically into one or
two activities of the college and
make a place for yourself in col¬
lege life. Athletics, music, speech,
journalism, dramatics and a host
of other opportunities lie open
before you. If you can become
an expert in some one or two of
these activities you need have
no worries about recognition of
leadership.
Above all make a lot of friends.
Make friends both within the fac¬
ulty and student body.
If you will take these sugges¬
tions seriously the new semester
will become one of the happiest
and mosj profitable periods in
your lives.

To you, the new students of
Pasadena City College, I extend
a most hearty welcome. You are
beginning your career in higher
education at a college which has
the reputation of being one of the
country’s best.
This record has been gained
through a spirit of cooperation
and fellowship which has always
existed at PCC. It will be up to
FRED JAHNKE
. . . ASB Prexy
each one of you to help us keep
this fine spirit.
There are many ways in which
you can become an asset to the
school and I would like to sug¬
gest some of them to you. First
of all, your main purpose here is
to study and learn, and I urge
you to do your best in each of
your classes. Then too, I urge
you to enter into one or two ex¬
tracurricular activities so that
you may really become a part
of our college. However, let me
warn you not to try to under¬
take too much, as it is far better
to do several things well, than
many things half-way.
Finally, it is my hope that new
and old students alike will enter
into this semester with an added
degree of enthusiasm so that we
may be most successful in all
our activities.
