Prexies Extend Greetings
Greetings to all PCC students.
You are entering or returning
to Pasadena City College in a
period of uncertainty. The threat
to our nation and institutions
which is posed by international
communism makes unpredictable
the ultimate responsibilities each
of us will be called upon to
shoulder. The immediate civic
and personal responsibility of
each students is to make as effec¬
tive use as possible of the edu¬
cational opportunities available
here and now. Let us each day
do a thorough and workmanlike
job. This will include serious at¬
tention to studies, regular attend¬
ance, and active participation in
some form of extra-curricular ac¬
tivity.
If all 5500 of our students and
school personnel can work to¬
gether toward these and other
goals, we can build an even finer
and better Pasadena City College.
Dr. W. B. Langsdorf
Principal
To all students who are attend¬
ing City College for the first time,
I should like to extend my hearti¬
est greetings, to all the old stu¬
dents, welcome back! This year
we, the members of the student
body will be confronted with the
age old problem of deficient
funds. In the hands of the stu¬
dents lies the success or failure
of the program we have outlined
for the semester. Said program
includes a wider range of activi¬
ties in all the various ASB subsi¬
dized clubs and organizations and
even includes a football game
with Mexico City in the Rose
Bowl. As to the success of the
program? We can only execute
such a plan if each of you co¬
operates by purchasing a student
body card. Considering the bene¬
fits derived, you reall ycan’t lose
by becoming a member of the
student body. In the end, the
student body organization is only
as good as you and your dollars
make it.
