Cosmetologist to Leave
Marney Honored by Governor with State Position
Reaching the top rung in the ladder of success in
her field is Mrs. Rose M. Marney of the Pasadena City
College cosmetology department who has recently been
appointed to the State Board of Cosmetology by Califor¬
nia’s Governor Goodwin Knight.
Mrs. Marney, who has been teaching in Pasadena
Schools for 24 years, will retire from her teaching ca¬
reer when she becomes a State Board Examiner. She
will then travel between San Francisco, Sacramento, San
Diego and Los Angeles, with the five-member board, in¬
terpreting laws concerning cosrpetology and making
rules and regulations for the functioning of it.
The latter duty includes the planning of an examin¬
ation to be given students upon completion of their cos¬
metology training and awarding them their licenses to
practice.
Well qualified for the position she is about to hold,
Mrs. Marney owned her own shop for seven years. At
he time she began teaching in Pasadena, she was presi¬
dent of the Pasadena Hairdressing Association.
Among her other activities are director of the San
Gabriel Valley Hairdressers Guild, a member of the
PCC Faculty Fellowship Committee, president of the
City College Faculty Women’s Club.
Mrs. Marney stated that she believed in maintaining
high standards for professional operators and when
asked about her future, she said: “I don’t believe in
retiring, but a change of scene helps to keep one young.”
GOVERNOR GOODWIN KNIGHT . . . recently telegraphed
Rose M. Marney, Pasadena City College Life Science Depart¬
ment instructor, to inform her of an appointment to the State
Cosmetology Board of California. She is shown above re-reading
the “good news” telegram.

The manner in which the pro¬
gram is arranged makes it more
to be seen than heard. It is said
to be full of humor and wit and
carries a dramatic appeal that is
never to be forgotten. The pro¬
gram is not a lecture or dance
history, but a modern exposition
of contemporary dance in all
forms.

In recent years, Mr. Loring has
been a dancer-actor on Broadway,
staged dances for a number of
musical shows, including “Car¬

Will Buy Uniforms
Partial financing of the recent¬
ly purchased uniforms for the
Bulldog Band by off-campus
sources is being planned by the
Associated Student Body cabinet
through a share sales program
to be conducted in the Pasadena
business area.
Under the plan, local business¬
es would be solicited to buy
shares in the new uniforms, pur¬
chased last fall from the House
of Craddock, Kansas City manu¬
facturer.
According to Mary Ann Pen¬
nington, chairman of the band

themselves will conduct the ac¬
tual drive and solicit the funds
from the businessmen. Letters ex¬
plaining the purpose of the drive
have been sent to all of the bus¬

Cooperating with the Cabinet
