ance of BIE Day. The day is char¬

Day Travels North
Pasadena City College’s repre¬
sentative to the annual conference
of the American Association of
Junior Colleges which begins to
day in Salt Lake City, Utah, is
John E. Twomey, dean of extend¬
ed day.
Twomey will attend the three
day conference and hear such
well known speakers as Gov.
George 'D. Clyde of Utah; Elvis
J. Stahr, Jr., executive direc¬
tor of the President’s Commit
tee for Education Beyond the
High School; and Sen. Frank
Church of Idaho.
In the course of the convention
he will attend committee discus¬
sion groups concerning “Chang¬
ing Concepts of the Role of Edu¬
cational Leadership, “The Role of
the Junior College Administrator
in Involving Staff, Faculty, Stu¬
dents, and Community in Plan¬
ning, Operation, and Expansion,”
“Effective Techniques Employed
in Curriculum Development and
Revision,” “Admission Procedures
in Junior Colleges.”
As the administrative dean
for the extended day classes,
Mr. Twomey supervises the be-
yond-high school education for
some 3000 members of the com¬
munity in their classes which
occur both on campus and in
over 50 other locations
Reportedly a ghost town in the
Sheeps Head Range of mountains,
Dale was estimated to be 20 to 30
miles past Twenty-nine Palms,
Clambering into the back of the
truck the explorers headed into
the mountains and after consider¬
able bouncing reached what they
believed to be their destination.
There they raised their flag of
conquest to prove that some ad¬
venturers from PCC had reached
the barren spot.
Geologists Explore
Geologists with the group ex¬
plored to their hearts content dis¬
covering that the rocks they had
studied about actually did exist.
Others, lacking in wind, wound
their way back to the truck and
ate.
Return Uneventful
The return trip to Pasadena was
uneventful and, with the excep¬
tion of stiff muscles and aching
backs, the group found themselves
in good condition when they
reached the campus.
Delta and Theta members de¬
cided on the desert trip, which
sounds like something the hiking
club would do, to attempt an ac¬
tivity out of the ordinary for dra¬
ma and radio groups, as a relax¬
ing change. Though the real ruins
of Dale were never reached, gen¬
eral opinion among those partici¬
pating was . . . Whew!
Beauticians Mirror
Original Creations
Three weeks of intensive practice in creating new and
original hairstyles will culminate this evening when the 1957
graduating cosmetology students will present their annual
hair style and fashion show, “Mirror of Fashions” at 8:30
Campus Musicians
to Resume Series
p.m. in Harbeson Hall.
The cosmetologists are staging
the event, as they do each year,
to show their proficiency not only
in the usual beauty techniques
learned during the past two years,
but to demonstrate to the public
and to various shop owners their
ability to turn out original coif¬
fures. Models for the beauticians
are the patrons of the school
beauty shop.
Mirrors, placed at 45 degree
angles in Harbeson Hall will re¬
flect the models, their hair
styles and fashions to the audi¬
ence and carry out the theme of
the show. Background music
keyed to the mood of the fash¬
ions and styles will be played
by Miss Dorothy Proffitt.
Gowns for the evening will
come from the Vera Rose and
Ivy Bridal shops. Miss Rose
Cahoe, a representative from the
Vera Rose shop will narrate for
the showing aided by Miss Betty
Reeder, famed beauty salon op¬
erator, who will describe each of
the individual hair styles. Miss
Pamela Kenoss, former PCC cos¬
metologist, will wear the bridal
gown for the evening.
Beauty shop owners from
Pasadena and the surrounding
vicinity have been invited to
come and observe the beauti¬
cians comb out the coiffures
preceding the start of the show.
In this way the practicing beau¬
ticians can get considerable in¬
sight into the abilities of the
future beauticians.
The evening’s hair styles are
under the supervision of Mrs.
Hazel Kugler. Mrs. Dorothy Col¬
well planned and handled all ar¬
rangements for the beauty event.
There will be no admission
charge.
Starting March 13 in the new
Music Building, the Campus Art¬
ist Series will return to Pasadena
City College. Two short sound
films, “The Music of Three Art¬
ists,” featuring Sebovia, master
guitarist; Nadine Conner, so¬
prano; and Jan Peerce, tenor; and
“Music a Career or a Hobby” will
comprise the first program which
begins at 11:15 in 102J.
The series, which was discon¬
tinued last fall due to lack of
space, will be used primarily to
feature the various music groups
on campus and to allow them to
perform before small audiences.
Outstanding voice and piano stu¬
dents will be featured and occa¬
sionally, as in case of the first
program, movies on music will be
shown.
Choral Groups Take Part
Choral groups from the Madri¬
gal Singers, the band under the
direction of Robert Fleury and
the glee clubs, supervised by Wil-
liani Benulis, as well as foreign
students and alumni will' take
part in the programs.
Sponsored by the Music Depart¬
ment under the direction of Miss
Isobel Smith, the series will be
planned with the aid of represent¬
atives from the Music Council,
Promote Music Interest
In preparing the concerts the
Music Department wants not only
to give its top music students
the chance of performing more
often, but also to interest stu¬
dents and faculty members in lis¬
tening to music. By beginning the
series once more, the Music De¬
partment hopes to promote a
growing interest in “live” music.

AND AWAY THEY WENT . . . until they reached the desert and saw miles and miles of land
and no “Dale.” Seen consulting the map and searching diligently for any landmark are, from left to
right, Doug Noble, Warren Shore, Gary Smith, Audrey Lachman, and Wade Hampton, Theta Rho
Pi president.
