’ Set for Tonight
“HOMECOMING DANCE OB BUS-T” ... is the motto of un worried Norm Mullison as he

coin anxiously due to the man-shortage are (1. to r.) Phyllis Perry, social affairs commissioner,
Pat Swope, Sherrill Oliver, and Trenna Kemper.
Semi-annual Affair
To Be Held at Civit
“Homecoming- Dance or Bus-t” is the motif of tonight’s
semi-annual PCC Homecoming Dance at the Civic Auditorium,
with music supplied by Bob Keene and his orchestra from
8:30 to 11:30. Carrying out the theme honoring the city’s
inter-urban transportation serv¬
ice, the Civic will be turned into
a bus station for the evening, ac¬
cording to Social Affairs Com¬
missioner Phyllis Perry. The
faculty box on the dance floor
will be arranged with bus seats
and Principal William B. Langs-
dorf will hold the driver’s seat,
wearing a borrowed busman’s
cap.
Bids to the dance will further
carry out the theme, being fash¬
ioned after bus tickets. Advance
purchases can be made today on
campus at the student bank and
at the Triton Booth in the main
hall of the C building, and tick¬
ets will also be on sale tonight
at the Civic box office for $1. At¬
tire for the affair will be dressy
sport.
Working with Miss Perry on
the social affairs commission this
year are Alan Richards, Bruce
Sweet, Betty Dusenberry, Lily
Maimoni, Pamela Hall, Phyllis

— Bulletin —
The faculty and administration
welcome all new and returning
students to Pasadena City Col¬
lege for the year 1951-52.
We fully believe that we have
in PCC one of the outstanding
educational institutions in the
country. Certainly it is unex¬
celled by any other junior col¬
lege, both in the magnificent
records made by its graduates
and in variety and worth of edu¬
cational experience available here.
Pasadena City College has a
day enrollment of between 4000
to 5000 and an Extended Day en¬
rollment of over 10,000. We have
available for students approxi¬
mately 1000 different courses.
The employed personnel, who
serve as faculty, secretaries, cus¬
todians, and in the cafeteria,
number about 400. This is, there¬
fore, a small city.
The students, or citizens of this
“city,” have a splendid student
government which has, through
the years, built fine traditions
and a magnificent school spirit.
We urge that you join your stu¬
dent government and participate
in its activities. When the time
comes for you to graduate, I am
sure that you will find that you
have benefited from your class
work and from student activities
almost exactly in proportion to
the amount of effort you have
devoted to these fields of oppor¬
tunity at PCC.
If there is any way in which
members of the faculty and ad¬
ministration can be of personal
assistance to you, please call on
us. May you enjoy the best of
success in the year that lies
ahead. W. B. Langsdorf
Principal
With the beginning of the 1951
school year, we the students, are
about to undergo many new
changes — changes which will ele¬
vate PCC to its greatest heights.
City College will have new
school activities, new scholastic
standards, new athletic records,
and new enthusiasm and school
spirit. With each step forward,
we shall achieve greater fame
and glory — which can qnly fur¬
ther impress the state, and the
nation, that the position we have
always held in the past will be
occupied once again by Pasa¬
dena City College, that of being
“OUT IN FRONT.”
To the New Students:
To you, the new students, may
I extend best wishes and express
the feelings of the entire student
body in saying that we are very
happy to welcome you to our col¬
lege. We sincerely hope that you
will maintain good scholastic rec¬
ords, enter into our campus ac¬
tivities, and become loyal PCC
supporters.
To the Old Students:
To you, the returning students,
who will once again be serving
our college, the task that lies be¬
fore us is evident. I feel confi¬
dent that each of you will con¬
tinue to elevate our school stan¬
dards and be the leader in all of
our undertakings.
Let’s really get behind PCC
this semester and insure a great
term of giving your best in school
spirit and loyal support. Let’s
attain the widely known motto of
the past, by putting Pasadena
City College “OUT IN FRONT.”
