Almost seventeen- hundred of those will be Seniors and Sophomores from Pasadena City College. Eddie Le¬ Grand, Senior president, and FRED JAHNKE As the semester draws to a close, and I look back on our ac¬ tivities, I am happy to see that it has been most successful. We have been fortunate to win many championships, athletically as well as scholastically. Our var¬ sity baseball team has been out¬ standing, taking the State Cham¬ pionship, and we swept the CIF with our lower division gymnas¬ tics squad. Our debate team also has proven itself by coming home with the National Sweep- stakes. Not only these, but all of our activities have been of top quali¬ ty, due to the tremendous sup¬ port and enthusiasm shown by the entire student body. Mac Small, Sophomore Class pi grads in the processional, Gou¬ nod’s “Praise Ye the Father.” Bettie Hammond will lead the nursing grads from Huntington Memorial Hospital. Addressing the graduating throng and their friends and rela¬ tives will be valedictorian Bill Vasse, editor of Pipes of Pan and president of the drama fra¬ ternity, Delta Psi Omega. Also included on the speaker’s ros¬ trum with the Pasadena honor student are Rulon Scott, valedic¬ torian for John Muir College; Dr. Willard E. Goslin, superintendent of Pasadena schools, and Milton Wopschall, president of the Pas¬ adena Board of Education. Karen Larsen, local soloist, will be heard on the musical program as will Barry Rumbles from Muir. Pasadena’s A Cappella Choir, glee clubs and choral groups will participate with city¬ wide musical groups in presen¬ tations directed by Edward N.

The ten class Ф Continued on Page Four Seniors Remember Memories In Prom Last big affair for the gradu¬ ates of PCC is the Senior Prom, which will be held after Com¬ mencement Exercises in the Civic Auditorium tonight from 9 to 12 p.m. Theme for this year’s prom is “Memories.” To carry out the theme of the dance, pictures il¬ lustrating the outstanding events of the past year will decorate the walls of the Civic. Unlike previous years, the prom this year will not be a joint affair with the graduates of John Muir. A survey was tak¬ en at the first of this semester and it was decided by the Seniors students, at that time, to have an “independent” dance. Bids for the occasion will be enclosed in each graduate’s di¬ ploma, which will be received at the Commencement Exercises. ", will lead the City College DR. JOHN W. HARBESON My final word as principal of Pasadena City College is a simple and humble expression of thanks. In the past I have “summoned you to the comradeship of serv¬ ice.” Henceforth new hands will be at the helm and a new voice will direct the course of the col¬ lege. To my colleagues and friends of the present and the past I owe an everlasting debt of gratitude. To my able administration and superb faculty; to the student body and their officers in whom I hold an unbounded pride; to our loyal and efficient secretar¬ ies; to our faithful caretakers and custodians; to the kindly and willing staff of our cafeteria; to the committees of faculty and student body; to the clubs and all other organizations of the cam¬ pus ; to the leaders of our activi¬ ties in athletics, music, journal¬ ism, speech, dramatics and stu¬ dent government — toward all my friends and associates go feelings of thankfulness and devotion which no words at my command could ever express. May the years deal kindly with you all as you pursue the future courses of your careers.
