dena Independent’s “Independent
Scene” magazine, Joanne will be
accompanied by her mother on
her Paris trip.

What’s the tense expectant air that grips the campus this week? Why is it hard for
teachers to hold student interest to books and studies ? What is the stirring promise which
comes closer on the spring breezes? The Circus is coming to PCC! This Friday the tents
will go up, the music will start blaring, the side-shows and concessions will bark their wares,
and the big show will pres£fl^^^^_
rnival Booths Include
the first time, the PCC Par-
Teacher Association will offer
some really substantial food to
carnival attenders in the form of
a ham dinner with all the trim¬
mings. Students, faculty, and
families will be able to get a
full meal at a nominal sum with¬
out having to leave the vicinity
of the carnival.

Commandos Sight
12th Honor
With hope of winning their
twelfth consecutive honor school
rating, Pasadena City College’s
ROTC battalion underwent their
annual Federal Review of Troops.
The inspection was conduct¬
ed Col. Clarence G. Hupfer, pres¬
ident of the Fort MacArthur Re¬
viewing Board. Cadets were on
the field for an inspection and
ceremonial parade, following
which they entered the class¬
rooms for classes in military sci¬
ence.
On the basis of the scores made
by the unit, honor school ratings
were awarded to the top schools
in the Sixth Army area.
Sgt. Hollis McCutcheon, ser¬
geant instructor of the unit, en¬
tered the review as a sergeant,
first class, following his promo¬
tion a week ago. Merrill C. Wind¬
sor, PMS&T, greeted the inspec¬
tors, a major, having been pro¬
moted to that rank in April.
