Date Set For
Parade Tryouts
Tryouts for this year’s Royal
Court of the annual Tournament
of Roses will begin on Monday,
October 25. A total of 150 young
women is to be selected from
PCC and Muir on a percentage
basis, by representative commit¬
tees at each school.
In order to qualify, girls must
have no grades of E or F and
not more than one grade of D.
They must be carrying at least
11 units at the time of tryouts.
Freshmen, postgraduates and
married students are not eligible.
During the first week in No¬
vember, eliminations by the
Queen and Coronation Commit¬
tee of the Tournament of Roses
Association begin. This commit¬
tee is not permitted to know
which girls are representing PCC
and which girls are representing
Muir.
Besides having passing marks,
the girls will be tested for poise,
personality, beauty, speaking
ability and posture. As the group
of contenders becomes smaller,
the interviews and tests became
increasingly difficult.
“The Rose Queen represents
not only Pasadena,” stated Ed
Allen, member of the Pasadena
Chamber of Commerce, “but
Southern California as well. The
selection of Her Majesty attracts
nationwide attention, and descrip¬
tions of the Tournament of
Roses via radio may even reach
a foreign country. It is, there¬
fore, only natural that we insist
that our queen be “up to snuff"
in every way.”

Health Center Issues
Warning to Students
“In view of the fact that polio
has been epidemic in proportion
in this area all summer, students
should be careful about coming
to school with colds, sore throats
and other symptoms of communi¬
cable diseases,” Ethel Fisher,
school nurse, stated recently.
Miss Fisher said that if stu¬
dents would stay at home when
they are not feeling well, there
would be far less absenteeism be¬
cause there would be fewer con¬
tacts. She also asked that par¬
ents of ill students notify the
school of the reason for the ab¬
sence.
According to Miss Fisher, the
common cold causes the largest
percentage of absences. It is also
a sympton of more serious dis¬
eases. Because of this she be¬
lieves that by staying at home
until the illness is clearly diag¬
nosed, a student is not only pro¬
tecting his own health but also
the health of his classmates.
