More would have been distrib¬ uted but they were delayed en- route and did not arrive at the campus in time. However, the new batch of 600 will be available today at 12 noon at the School Bank. All the yearbooks which were handed out yesterday and today were accompanied by a plastic cover to make sure that the Pag¬ eant’s attractive cover would be protected.

Because it is the last social event of the year, a large turnout is expected. The theme for this year’s prom is "Golden Dreams” and under the prevailing circum¬ stances it appears quite apropos. Circle K'ers admit six new members Only six new members were ad¬ mitted to Circle K, PCC’s honorary men’s service organiza¬ tion as a result of the recently conducted interviews, according to the organization’s president, Wayne Whitehill. Harbeson award winner David Smith Was among those accepted. His services include work as fi¬ nance commissioner, a member of the Library Council and as de¬ partmental activities commission¬ er.

Leader requests student records Any Pasadena City College stu¬ dent who has devoted some of his time in giving service to the col¬ lege is urged to fill out a student activity card which may be ob¬ tained in the Student Activities Office, 111C. The cards should be returned to that office as soon as possible, according to Dr. Rob¬ ert Haugh. Awards, activities and positions held by the student while attend¬ ing PCC are permanently record¬ ed on the cards which also con¬ tain the amount of service points given for the student’s efforts. These points are valuable aids in determining the presentation of scholarships and are also benefi¬ cial after the student has left the college. Possible employers often check past school records in mak¬ ing job selections. brought is $7659. Again, this year’s sale broke the previous record and the house sold for $8444 to Charles R. Dillingham of 1105 Linda Vista Ave. Ten of the 20 bids were higher than the bids had ever gone. “I attribute the success of this year's sale to extensive advertising and above all to the quality of the house and its outstanding fea¬ tures,” stated Dean Reinhold, model house coordinator. Reinhold circulated papers de¬ scribing the house and the large profit made by the buyer of last year’s house which resold for $19,600. The many contributions of electrical appliances and the inclusion of taxes in the price have made the model home the bargain of the year. The highest bidder has one month in which to pay for the house and then he must move it to its new foundation by the end of the second month. All bid¬ ders post a $200 bond of confi¬ dence which is returned after the house is moved from the school property. Letters have been received from all over the U.S. complimenting PCC on its program. “Many of my students have come from as far away as New York because they heard about our model home project,” said Reinhold. This year’s third highest bidder was so interested in the program and the quality of the workman¬ ship that she wishes to buy the house from Mr. Dillingham. She stated that this program reaffirms her belief in public education.
