assistance to you, we stand ready
to help in whatever way we may.
Best of success to all of you!

Student Body President
Greets Old , New Pupils
Greetings to all of the old students, and to those who are new
this semester.
This semester is one out of the ordinary, because of the world
situation and uncertainty. But it is times like these when more might
be accomplished than might be possible otherwise, when everyone
will be trying to get as much as possible out of his remaining time
in Pasadena.
With such an incentive in mind, this semester can be the most
enjoyable one yet. A friendly attitude by everyone, a feeling of co¬
operation and a desire to improve our student body spirit would
automatically provide the essentials necessary to make an outstand¬
ing semester.
Much of the male population of our campus will be going into
the armed forces before this semester ends. I would like to express
an earnest hope that those men -who go, will receive satisfaction
in whatever branch they might be in. And because I will not be able
to see many before they go, a sincere thanks to the students with
whom I have worked and whose friendship I have enjoyed during
my enrollment in Pasadena City College.
Hank Weber
ASB President
