Faculty Joins
Student Officers
in Annual Banquet
Local administrative officers and
student body leaders will mix a
tossed salad of ideas and propos¬
als for the betterment of City
College sciRolastic standings and
extra-curricular activities in the
new year at the annual Adminis¬
tration Staff-Student Officer Sup¬
per next Tuesday in the Social
Hall.
Purpose of the meeting, which
is traditionally accompanied by a
supper, is to give college officials
and student leaders an opportun¬
ity to get acquainted at an in¬
formal gathering, and discuss
problems and ideas which might
help the school run more smooth¬
ly and efficiently. Out of past
meetings have come such ideas
as successful ASB sales cam¬
paigns, clarification of campus
problems, and a closer contact
between administrators and stu¬
dents.
Attending this year’s meeting
will be top officials including
Principal W. B. Langsdorf, As¬
sistant Principal Catherine J.
Robbins, Student Activities Direc¬
tor Robert D. Haugh, ASB Presi¬
dent Andy Castellano, members
of the Student Board, other stu¬
dent leaders, and many other ad¬
ministrators interested in stu¬
dent activities.
are urged to come out and join
the sports squads during which
ever hour is the most convenient
for them. The season starts off
with basketball on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays, and
badminton on Tuesdays and
Thursdays. Both intra-mural and
inter-school playdays are planned
with the inter-school schedule in¬
cluding most of the area junier
colleges.
More information concerning
WAA plans can be obtained in
the club room out in the Wom¬
en’s Gym. WAA members will
canvass the campus tomorrow
trying to recruit a number of
PCC girls to come to the Open
House. However, sports leaders
and advisers urge that girls don’t
wait for someone to ask them in,
but come in or their own accord
and meet new friends and greet
many old ones. Refreshments
will be served at some time dur¬
ing the day.
Women’s sports affairs include
many other plans for friendly
gatherings such as pot luck din¬
ners, sports finales, and an an¬
nual formal banquet.
EVEN ROYALTY REGISTERS ... as students come back
to the campus last week, Rose Princess Sharon Kelly went
through the lines in the cafeteria and filled out program cards,
along with nearly 5000 other City Collegians.

Pup Commission Slates
Active Year for Rooters
This year’s pup commission under the able leadership of
Pup Commissioner Sylvia Pauloo is off to a start of planning
new ways and means of interesting lower divisioners in their
Pup sports, and providing ample support for all the Bullpup
teams. -
First and foremost now of
course, for the 25 sophomore
commission members is the im¬
minent football season. PCC
Pup teams have been staying up
among the top few contenders for
the Pacific League championship
for several years now, and with
spirited backing from this year’s
Pupsters they are hoping for an¬
other outstanding season again
this year. The Pups will play
their first game September 26
against Long Beach Poly at Long
Beach.
Very active in Freshman Camp
plans, the pup commission hoped
to impress freshmen with the im¬
portance of the lower division
teams. It also gave the frosh a
chance to meet the cheer leaders
and song girls who will direct
Pup spirit at the football games.
Pup pepsters for this year are
Rachel Vega, Sally Draper, Betty
Tintarelli and Gay and May Few-
ell, who will do the pom-pon rou¬
tines on the sidelines; Eddie
Lockhart, Don Reals and Kenny
Schneider, the leather-lunged boys
who are to direct the cheers.
Kenny is a freshman who com¬
peted with several other frosh
megaphone men for his cheer
leading spot. Gay and May also
add variety to the pep scene, be¬
ing a set of enthusiastic twins.
Two frosh will be elected soon
to spots on the Pup commission
by members of the Freshman
Class Council. Meetings will be
recorded by LuAnn Short, secre¬
tary, and guided by Dr. Joseph
Hall of the English Department.
Coeds Glimpse Fall
Fashions in Show
City College coeds will be giv¬
en an opportunity to view the lat¬
est in fall fashions from 12:20 to
1 o’clock next Wednesday in Har-
beson Hall.
Under the sponsorship of the
PCC International Club, local
girls will model new autumn
styles in a show staged by. Lie-
berg’s, Pasadena clothing store.
According to Najmeh Najafi,
president of the club, door prizes
will be awarded as a part of the
dena eating place long popular
with City Collegians, Mr. and
Mrs. Gwinn have volunteered the
use of their facilities and their
own services to help make the
War Memorial Court barbecue a
success.
A new innovation this year will
be a two-performance Faculty
Talent Show, featuring an all¬
teacher cast in a matinee before
the Barbecue, and an evening per¬
formance following it. A major
aim of the affair, according to
Mrs. Rodda, will be to break
down the barriers between teach¬
er and student early in the sem¬
ester, enabling them to work
together.
Tickets for both the barbecue
and the faculty show have been
on sale throughout registration
week, and are still available at
the Student Bank.

show, to which all campus coeds
are invited.
The International Club, one of
PCC’s many humanitarian organ¬
izations, holds as its purpose the
forming of a closer relationship
between foreign students and
American students and opens its
membership to all, regardless of
nationality, race or creed.
Trying out a new idea in registration procedure, PCC
students returned to the campus a week early this year to
avoid confusion and delay as they signed up for classes dur¬
ing the college’s first annual Reg¬
istration Week.
Beginning last Wednesday, the
week was filled with the many
activities which traditionally
greet City Collegians as they
come back to the campus at the
end of the summer vacation.
Actual registration was carried
on 12 hours a day, 8 a.m. to 8
p.m., to enable students to sign
into school at their own conveni¬
ence without the hours of stand¬
ing in line which has marked
registration days in the past.
Celebrate Homecoming
In addition to picking up class
programs, the returning students
began the year’s social activities
starting with the annual Home¬
coming Dance, held last Thurs¬
day night at the Civic Auditori¬
um, with music supplied by the
orchestra of Leighton Noble,
whose appearance was arranged
by , Social Affairs Commissioner
Anne Lindsey.
The week was also marked
with the efforts of the faculty
and upper classmen to make in¬
coming freshmen feel at home
on the campus, first, with the
Frosh Hi-jinks on Wednesday
evening, sponsored by the Stu¬
dent Christian Association, and
including a program of greetings
and entertainment in Sexson
Auditorium, swimming in the
campus pool, and a dance in the
Women’s Gym.
Frosh Camp Successful
Also especially for Frosh was
the overnight Freshman Camp
at Camp Idyllwild in the San Ja¬
cinto Mountains. Frosh left the
campus in a bus caravan early
Friday afternoon and journeyed
to the mile-high camp where they
swam, danced, sang, played and
ate as they received an introduc¬
tion to PCC which included
meeting local student leaders,
faculty and administration mem¬
bers, varsity and Bullpup foot¬
ball coaches and players, and elec¬
tion of a Frosh Queen. After
returning Saturday afternoon, the
frosh attended the annual intra¬
squad Red-White football game.
The week was climaxed Sun¬
day afternoon with the tradition¬
al PCC new student’s Pal Day,
when freshmen and all other
new students were introduced to
each other, to student and facul¬
ty leaders, to varsity coach Bob
Blackman, who showed movies
of last year’s Little Rose Bowl
Game, and to their special Pals
who were chosen from the col¬
lege’s most active students. The
latter conducted the newcomers
on a tour of the campus and
helped them become settled as
City Collegians.
COLLEGE Y PLANS
DINNER MEET
Working under the theme of
“Back to School Drool” will be
the new and old students of the
Student Christian Association, the
College Y, which will hold their
first meeting September 23 in
Harbeson Hall.
According to Danny Lewis and
Eleanor Hawkins, co-presidents
of the SCA, the purpose of this
first meeting is to acquaint new
students with the College Y.
There will be a general discus¬
sion led by Jesse Moses, popular
history teacher. At this time Dr.
Robert Yeaton, foreign students
teacher, will speak and plans for
the year will be discussed.
There will be a general gather¬
ing at 5:30 in Harbeson Hall
which will be followed by the
supper at 6, and a program in¬
cluding chapel and dancing until
9 p.m.
Frosh Advisers Reveal
New Guidance System
At a meeting attended by fresh¬
man advisers, department chair¬
men and administrative person¬
nel, various aspects of a modi¬
fied program for freshman stu¬
dents were discussed.
Freshmen this year will be
offered many special services to
help them to adjust to the new
atmosphere and become integrat¬
ed with PCC’s social and scholas¬
tic life.
This year every freshman will
be in a "key” class taught by a
former freshman adviser. These
key classes will contain only 11-1
students. New guide books will
be used by the teachers of these
classes to help their students be¬
come oriented to the school. These
key classes also will serve as a
focal point for detection of at¬
tendance and scholarship difficul¬
ties. The Kuder Interest Test
will be given in sessions of these
important classes. In addition to
the Kuder Test students will re¬
ceive the Iowa Silent Reading
Test and the SRA.
A meeting for parents of the
freshman students will be held
during the semester to discuss
school activities and the testing
program. The PTA is now dis¬
cussing plans for holding a re¬
ception, as in the past, early in
the semester for the parents of
frosh students.
Other plans are constantly be¬
ing discussed and formed with
the hope of aiding students to
easily make the transfer from ju¬
nior high to Junior College.
