PCC Invades
Pasadena For
'Youth Day'
Students from Muir and
PCC took over administrative
control in nearly all branches
of civic government as well
as many business and com¬
mercial firms on Youth Day
last Tuesday.
The event is held each spring
to acquaint students with busi¬
ness and civic administrative pro¬
cedures, familiarize them with
the numerous jobs they may ev¬
entually hope to attain, and to
act as a liason between the
schools and business, industrial,
and civic representatives, so as
to more closely knit educational
institutions with the fields the
students will choose as careers.
Cooperating in the event were
the Chamber of Commerce, news¬
papers, radio stations, depart¬
ment stores, religious organiza¬
tions, civic departments such as
the Police Department, Board of
Education, Post Office, Engineer¬
ing-Street Department, Courts
and City Hall; also three Pasa¬
dena industrial concerns which
conducted Youth Day participants
on a tour schedule.
