fered, along with ensemble and

STUDENT CONVENTION
The settings, however, are the
same in order to give the impres¬
sion of unity of mood, theme, and
characterization.
“TABLE BY THE Window,”
the first one-act play, concerns a
dramatic love story about a man
and a woman who have been di¬
vorced for several years and
meet again accidentally in a pri¬
vate English hotel where they find
love and faith again.
Lloyd Steele , veteran PCC ac¬
tor and director with eight hit
plays in his background, plays the
lead role of John Malcolm. The
part of the feminine divorcee is
interpreted by Sheran Bateman.
“TABLE NUMBER Seven,” the
second one-act play, is the story
of Major Pollock who becomes
the object of a conspiracy of the
other residents of the hotel who
are plotting to eject him.
It is a fascinating study of hu¬
man nature and the triumph of
kindness and decency in a very
imperfect world. Major Pollock
is played by Alan Davies, who is
originally from London, England.
Marcia Musser will enact the part
of the feminine lead named Sibyl.
“Separate Tables,” directed at
PCC by Mrs. Annabel A. Cooney,
provides comedy and drama in
both one-act plays and represents
a wide variety of plot.

College collects
Red Cross funds
College 100 representatives will
call on Pasadena City College
to “dig deep” next Tuesday and
Wednesday for the Red Cross.
March will be observed as Red
Cross Month across the nation,
and students at PCC are urged
to demonstrate their responsibility
to the community by supporting
this worthwhile endeavor..
Collections will be made dur¬
ing the 9 o’clock hour. If no rep¬
resentative is present, teachers
are urged to appoint another per¬

posit it in the College Bank.

“In this discussion,” quoted the
dean, “I will cover some of the
basic problems which students en¬
counter while seeking admission
to a junior college.
“THESE INCLUDE such items
as admission to college transfer
work, special programs such as
nursing, admission on probation,
admission with honors at en¬
trance, and others.”
“Actually,” Mr. Twomey con¬
tinued, “it is an annual confer¬
ence of leadership groups of
American junior colleges for the
purpose of identifying the prob¬
lems which face the JC’s of the
country and to determine possible
solutions to these various ques¬
tions.”
IT WILL BE the job of the dele¬
gates to study how other junior
colleges throughout the nation
are planning to meet the problems
which will come with the expected
growth due in American colleges
during the next few years.
In California alone, 220,000 stu¬
dents are expected in the state’s
stands at 165,000 and the exist¬
ing colleges are already bulging
at the seams, according to Dean
Twomey.
Conference sites are selected in
different parts of the nation so
that each area will have better
representation.
time selections, excerpts from the
classics, and numbers from three
Broadway shows, “Flower Drum
Song,” “The Music Man,” and
“Carousel.”
IN “THE LIGHT Cavalry Over¬
ture,” the band will be playing a
number that was a “must” for ev¬
ery city or town’s local contingent
of musicians.
“In recent years,” commented
Band Director Robert Fleury,
“this piece has been neglected and
we hope that we may be able to
bring it back a little.”
One other number flitting into
the old time category which the
band will perform is “Manhattan
Beach,” written by the master of
the marches, John Philip Sousa.
THE PERCUSSION section and
the trombones will be featured in
various special selections. The en¬
tire ensemble will also play a med¬
ley from their Tournament of
Roses season.
On Friday evening, the PCC
bandsmen will present a special
benefit concert to help build in¬
terest in their proposed trip to the
“Festival of Flowers” in San An¬
tonio, Texas, April 19-24. They
will perform in Sexson Audito¬
rium at 8:15 p.m.
At this time, they will play mu¬
sic from Cinerama and selections
from the “Yellowstone Suite,” il¬
lustrating the natural wonders of
the national park.
“BY USING various instru¬
ments and combinations,” Fleury
stated, “the band will describe in
music some of the wonders of the
park, including waterfalls and
many other spectacles.”
Trombonist Richard Shearer
will also be featured in a solo per¬
formance of “Andante” from a
cello sonata by Haydn.
The band itself is composed of
72 students, representing 76 dif¬
ferent high schools and 14 differ¬
ent states of the Union.
'Witches’ star in third PCC
interdepartmental film feature
Witches may be regarded as a thing of the past, but they’ll
be brought back on film Monday in the third interdepartmental
movie, “Bell, Book and Candle.” The various departments at
Pasadena City College will screen the feature at 3:15 in the
afternoon and again at 7:15 p.m. _
Kim Novak, Jack Lemmon, and
Elsa Lanchester star as a Manhat¬
tan family of witches and war-
locks while James Stewart and
Ernie Kovaks are featured on the
“normal” side of the balance.

into contact with each other.
From that point on, Miss Novak
becomes bewitched by Stewart’s
charm and he in turn is spell¬
bound by her mystic personality.
Naturally, Stewart (who by this
time is a “bewildered” book pub¬
lisher) cannot resist and this is
where the witchy Miss Novak be¬
comes worried for she wants to
win a man with her own womanly
wiles. Therefore, she forsakes
witchcraft.
WHAT HAPPENS from here is
best left to the imagination.
Add a bourbon drinking writer
(Kovaks), the “way-out” bongo
playing of Lemmon and a spell¬
spreading cat named Pywacut to
the already out-of-the-ordinary
happenings, and “Bell, Book and
Candle” certainly becomes a mo¬
vie well worth seeing.
Tickets may be purchased for
50 cents from any member of the
various department councils or at
the box office at the time of the
-performance.
