PCC - Muir Merge For
Tonight’s Gobble Hobble
Pasadena City College and John Muir College join forces
tonight as they present the third annual Gobble Hobble at
the Civic from nine to twelve. Bids are available in the
Student Bank for $1.25 with ASB books and $2.50 without.
Featuring the dance band of Bob
Armstrong, the event is sponsor¬
ed by the eight class presidents
from the two schools.
According to Dallas Peterman,
local Freshman Class president,

Appropriate decorations will be
featured, and a few musical se¬
lections will follow the football
theme.
Located at strategic spots on
the floor will be receptacles for
food donations from attending
collegians. These contributions,
to be made in the form of canned
goods, will go into a city-wide
collection total ,and will be used
to make up food baskets which
will be distributed tomorrow to
needy people in Pasadena to help
brighten otherwise meager
Thanksgiving repasts.
Engineering the details of the
event are Muirites Bill Grier,
Freshman president; Tim Spang¬
ler, Sophomore chief executive;
Joe Thomas, Junior president;
and Tom Nobles, Senior head.
For Pasadena, in the same order,

X-ray
mobile unit will be on the campus December 6 and 7 for the con¬

ment. Each year at Christmas time, the City College Music De¬
partment presents a production in conjunction with the holiday

Job Conferences Planned
For Each Assembly Period
In addition to the regular vocations day which occurs
once every semester, a new plan has gone into effect which
provides two career conferences each week. These confer¬
ences are held during assembly period. Each week, two de¬
partments will offer programs
featuring speakers who will dis¬
cuss occupational opportunities
available to majors in these de¬
partments. This new plan will
enable students to become more
fully acquainted with various vo¬
cations.
Less than one-half of the stu¬
dent body is able to attend assem¬
blies due to lack of space, so
this program will be available to
the rest of the students.
Art, Science were First
First career conferences were
presented by Art and Physical
Science Departments, last Fri¬
day. The Art Department featur¬
ed Clara Fentress, assistant de¬
signer of sport clothes, who dis¬
cussed opportunities offered in de¬
signing and merchandising fields.
On behalf of the Physical Science
Department, were three discus¬
sion groups. Ralph Barmore talk¬
ed of vocational opportunities in
chemistry, J. G. Meldrum led a
physics discussion, and H. Stan¬
ton Hill and Hoyt R. Gale, geolo¬
gy teachers, were in charge of
geology discussions.
Committee Named
A committee has been named
to carry on activities for this
project. Members of the com¬
mittee are: Miss Ida Hawes, dean
of guidance; Mrs. Helen Reid,
chairman of the Art Department;
Merrill Poor of the School of
Business; Shirley Seip, a major
of home economics; Matthew
Flynn, a business major; and W.
W. Leis, chairman of the com¬
mittee. _
This is one of the several in¬
novations in the program which
Dr. Leis, as head of vocational
guidance, has worked out to give
students better career guidance
services.
Tussle Pep Urged
In Assembly Here
City College students attend a
Turkey Tussle pep assembly
which starts out in convocation
style, today at 9:48 a.m. in Sex-
son Auditorium.
Dr. John Harbeson, City Col¬
lege principal, will open the as¬
sembly by speaking on the sub¬
ject of school spirit. As a sur¬
prise undertaking by Skip Hicks,
pep commissioner, auditorium
lights will be extinguished and
the Bulldog Band and Whip will
march down the aisles.
Cheerleaders from John Muir
College will lead the student body
in a number of yells. James
Rinehart, head PCC cheerleader,
and Muir’s chief yell leader, will
exchange sweaters in keeping
with the annual tradition between
Pasadena’s two junior colleges.
After tomorrow’s game, the
cheerleader from the defeated
school will sacrifice his sweater
to the victor.
Two members of the Altadena
Kiwanis Club will speak on the
trophy which PCC has had in its
possession for two years as a re¬
sult of winning the Turkey Tus¬
sle. Bob Blackman, Bulldog var¬
sity coach, is also slated on the
list of speakers.
It was disclosed at press time
that Rube Samuelson, sports edi¬
tor of the Pasadena Star-News
and former president of the
Southern California Sports Writ¬
ers 'Association, might be a guest
of honor at the assembly. Also,
Ed Demirjian, Mustang quarter-:
back, may attend with Muir’s
cheerleaders.
initial victory of the series. Both
squads have shown plenty of
class in previous contests and
the game should rate a toss-up.
Coach Nor Jaqua will pin his
hopes on the sturdy arm of quar¬
terback Demirjian who has pass¬
ed all other opponents into oblivi¬
on including the almighty Tar¬
tars of Compton College and
should continue his antics come
Thanksgiving Day. On the re¬
ceiving end of Mr. D’s passes
will be glue-fingered end, Lowell
Paul, a letterman from last year
who has been looking like a mil¬
lion dollars in previous encount¬
ers and his fellow wingmen Fred
Adler, Chuck Fitzgerald, Bill
Peaker and Bob Poteete, all let-
termen.
Beef -trust Wall
Dynamic Doug Elgar, who tips
the scales at 190 pounds, and is a
letterman, will team up with Ed
Foley, a 210 pounder and, also,
a letterman at the tackle slots.
The Leddy brothers, Dan and
Tom, weighing 210 and 190 re¬
spectively, will add their beef at
the guard spots while letterman
Dave Ackerman, at 206, will be
at the pivot position.
Muir Moves to Mauling
Halfbacks that will harass the
Bulldog defense are Ray Algor-
ri, Jim Alfano, a letterman, and
former Franklin High flash Joe
Cusimano. The fullback burden
is divided between Ken Sweitzer,
185 pounds, and Joe Brown, 188
pounds, both powerful runners.
Relies on Standbys
Coach Bob Blackman will
probably counter with his old
standby’s on the line consisting
of Hal Sachs at center, Bob Fla¬
herty and Bobby Cox, guards,
and the Chuck Miller-Eugene
Jacobs combo at the tackle spots.
It’s anybody’s guess as to who
the ends will be, but look for
Carl Kafkaloff, A1 Tanner and
Bill Bell, who will see plenty of
action.
Myriads of Speedy Backs
Lynn Aplanalp and Don Bur¬
roughs will be calling signals and
tossing the porkhide around
while myriads of speedy half¬
backs including Bill Davis, Bob
Ashworth, Walt Anderson, Fran¬
cis LaMendola, Bob Lasken and
Dave Wilkins will be flowing in
and out all afternoon.
Dave Gorrie, who was sensa¬
tional on defense against Comp¬
ton, will undoubtedly see a lot
of action as a line backer team¬
ing up with Norm Schade, who
has proven almost priceless as
the blocking back in the Pasa¬
dena V-formation.
