Twomey, administrative dean of day school, has revamped and cut down the larger booklet to a compact pocket size. This change was brought about because it was held that the Scholarship fund boosted by grant from service club larger booklets were an unneces¬ sary inconvenience for the stu¬ dents. It will also be easier now to mail these smaller booklets to more of those who want them. The reduction in size also cuts down the price of the booklet. In the past, the school had 5000 printed for relatively the same price it now costs to' print 15,000. The additional 10,000 copies was another main reason for the change. Mr. Twomey made note that every semester there is a shortage of these books and that students who wish to get an early start on programming are forced to wait. The additional copies will alleviate that problem. “This is the first try at this sort of thing for PCC and is in line with a trend already started by many of the colleges in the area,” Dean Twomey related. “So far the booklet is a suc¬ cess and if there are signs of its continued success, then it will be improved upon with the addition of pictures and more information useful to the students.” Visiting Madrigals present hour fest Madrigal Singers from Immac¬ ulate Heart College will present the program on the Music Hour Tuesday, May 9. Directed by Sister Matthias, they will sing motets and madri¬ gals from the fifteenth and six¬ teenth centuries. Their numbers will be “O Softly Singing Lute” by Pilkington; “Ohime, se Tanta amate” by Monteverde; and “Ecco L’aurora con L’aurate Fronte” by Gabrielli. The program will begin at 11 a.m. in the Choral Room of the Music Building. Admission is free. Temple City’s Kiwanis Club last week donated $500 to the Temple City Scholarship Fund at Pasa¬ dena City College. G. A. Stinstrom, president of the community service organiza¬ tion, and Walter Shatford, presi¬ dent of the Pasadena Board of Education and member of the Temple City Kiwanis Club, made the presentation of the money to Dr. Catherine Robbins, PCC pres¬ ident. Stinstrom is also district plant manager of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. Dr. Robbins commented that the gift was “a most generous contribution, and the college is very grateful.” The Temple City Kiwanis Club has, through past years, given a total of $1775 to the scholar¬ ship fund. Money goes to gradu¬ ating students who are in need of financial aid and wish to contin¬ ue their education. Emphasis is also put on high scholarship and commendable citizenship. — Courier photo ROAKING Carmen Lewis and Tom Hutchinson are practicing 20’S trick Charleston steps for the annual AMS-AWS RETURN dance Saturday night.
