Now is the time for all would-

of the semester draws near, the
terms of the present student body
government officials are ending
and new faces are needed.
All those interested in running
for student body offices should go

Drama ‘Antigone’
performed nightly
Warm applause greeted last
night’s opening curtain of Jean
Anouilh’s modern Greek drama,
“Antigone.” Performances will
continue nightly through Decem¬
ber 9 in the Little Theater, 30C.
Sharing the starring spotlight
are Carol Finne as Antigone, and
Lloyd Steele portraying Creon.
Completing the cast are Hugo
Leckey, Polita Marks, Judith
Greenwald, Donald Maddox, An¬
drew Berwind, Greg Andrade, Mil-
ton Musser, and Tom Grasso.
The play is based on an ancient
Greek story by Sophocles. Anou¬
ilh wrote the modern adaptation
in 1945 as a protest against Nazi
occupation in France.
Antigone’s decision to bury her
brother, whose body has been left
in the public square to be torn by
the vultures as a lesson to the
people of Thebes, forms the basis
of the plot.
Under this theme the produc¬
tion shows the struggle of the in¬
dividual’s rights against the state.
Admission is $1 or free to all
students having an ASB book.
Mrs. Annabel Cooney is direct¬
ing the Theater Arts Association
production while Polita Marks
acts as student director.
Freshmen open
petition drive
Frosh Class Council members
have begun their canvass of the
area surrounding the PCC cam¬

petition and in what manner.

where it received their full sup¬
port.

could be more deserving of the
title of fairest of them all than
this delightful PCC coed. Her
beauty and personality over¬
whelmed all those who came in
contact with her during the
course of the contest.
Carole comes to PCC from
South Pasadena High School. She
is interested in going into either
journalism or modeling as a ca¬
reer and is preparing for those
goais here at the college.
She lists among her hobbies
freehand sketching and mosaic
work. Her sporting interests in¬
clude water skiing, horseback
riding, and tennis.
It is a tribute to Carole’s cour¬
age that she still is involved in
horseback riding. Several years
ago she took a spill from her
horse that nearly killed her. As
it was, she spent four days with¬
out regaining consciousness.
Carole’s parents were, of
course, delighted upon hearing
that their daughter had been
named queen. Her father, Don¬
ald Washburn, is a major stock¬
holder in the Seven-Up Bottling
Co.
Carole comes from a large fam¬
ily of seven children. The seven
include, besides Carole, three
brothers, Jack, Bob, and Gerald,
and three sisters, Dorothy, Donna,
and Carole Jean.
Queen Carole was presented to
the public for the first time to¬
day at the Queen’s Breakfast at
the Huntington-Sheraton Hotel.
With her were the six princesses.
The panel which selected the
Rose Court was G. L. Payne,
chairman; Theodore Brodhead,
Terry Chambers, Orville L. Hood,
Jr., John F. Lamb, Sr., Dr. John
E. Peters, John H. Whatley,
James B. Wilcott, and Hilles M.
Bedell, coordinator.
'Roses' theme set
for ball next week
Don’t allow yourself to forget
the most important event of the
Pasadena City College social sea¬
son will take place next week on
December 16.
This event is, of course, the
Royal Ball. At the ball, the mem¬
bers of the 1961 Tournament of
Roses Royal Court will be intro¬
duced to the assembled students.
Much work has been put into
making this year’s ball one of the
most memorable experiences in
the life of any PCC student. So¬
cial Affairs Commissioner Mike
Schilling and his group have left
nothing to chance.
“Royalty and Roses” is the
theme set for the program. This
theme will be carried out by dec¬
orating the Pasadena Civic Audi¬
torium with great quantities of
roses. Other flowers will be dis¬
played all over the ballroom.
Supplying the music for the
ball will be the consistently pop¬
ular orchestra of Keith Williams.
Hours set up for the program
are from 8 p.m. to 12 midnight.
Admission is free to anyone who
possesses a student body book.
Those who do not have books will
be required to pay an admission
price of $3 at the College Bank.
•Library hours
During the Christmas vacation,
the library will be open from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. to
9 p.m., except that it will be
closed on Friday evenings and
Monday, Dec. 26, and Monday
and Tuesday, Jan. 2 and 3.
Beta Phi Gamma to sponsor
high school journalism day
America’s writers, publishers, and photographers of the future
may well be on PCC’s campus next Saturday when Beta Phi Gamma
sponsors a Southern California student Journalism Day.
Under the supervision of Marilyn Vore, president of the national
honorary journalism fraternity, invitations have been sent to most of
the junior and senior high schools in this area.
Included in the day’s activities are three writing contests, numer¬
ous journalism workshops, speakers, and the Junior Rose Bowl game.
Los Angeles Times columnist and feature writer, Art Ryon, will
be the main speaker at an opening general assembly in Sexson
Auditorium.
Writing competition will be held following the general assembly
in the fields of news, feature, and sports. Every school has been in¬
vited to enter two writers in each division. The contestants will be
asked to compose, during a limited time period, on-the-spot stories on
assigned news-worthy subjects.
Judging for the contests will be handled by the guest newsmen,
who will rate stories on journalistic style, approach, originality, and
conciseness.
Trophies will be given to the winners in each division during an
awards assembly following lunch.
For those participants not entered in the writing events a selec¬
tion of journalistic workshops will be in progress concurrently. Pro¬
fessional newspaper men and women have been scheduled as speakers,
in addition to holding short discussion periods with their audiences.
Participating as guest speakers will be feature writer Margaret
Stovall from the Star-News, sports writer George Jenson also from
the Star-News, fashion authority Pat Ryon of the Valley Times, pho¬
tographer Neal Clemmons from the Mirror, and magazine publisher
Doug McMann from McMann Publications.
According to Beta representatives the purpose of holding a jour¬
nalism program such as this is to encourage interest in the entire
publications field. While visiting the campus, journalism-minded stu¬
dents will be introduced to PCC’s publications department and the
opportunities it affords as an occupational preparation.
Registration for the event will take place from 8:15 to 9 a.m. in
front of Harbeson Hall. After the visitors receive schedules, identifica¬
tion tags, maps, and Junior Rose Bowl tickets, guides will be on hand
to lead tours of the Lancer journalism facilities.
