Language Council
Urges Students to
Judge the Fudge
Come and get it!
And get it while it lasts, for
Language Council President Nan¬
cy Taylor states that the coun¬
cil’s fudge sale is being held on a
first come, first serve basis
through today and tomorrow.
Though over 300 pounds of fudge
were made by the home econom¬
ics department in cooperation
with the Life Science Council,
Miss Taylor believes that this sup¬
ply will not be adequate for the
entire sale.
The chocolate-nut fudge is being
sold for 50 cents per half pound.
It can be purchased either through
placing an order at the Language
Department office, 107C, or at a
stand in front of Sexson Audi¬
torium.
Last year, $300 worth of the
confection was sold by the coun¬
cil. The profits were put into the
Kathleen D. Loly Scholarship
Fund which is awarded each year
to a student having high scholar¬
ship in the field of foreign lan¬
guage. The student’s service to
the department and to the school
are also taken Into consideration.

Students Present
Today’s Program
To foster ambition in students
musically, the Music Department
will continue its Campus Artist
Series today at 11:15 a.m. with
an all-student program. Three stu¬
dents will highlight the program
with vocal and instrumental selec¬
tions and will be accompanied by
other fellow students.
Appearing as soloists for the
event are Reiko Muraoka, so¬
prano, and George Blackburn,
baritone. Dwight Varver is the
third student star as he will pre¬
sent selections on his French horn.
Renee Hamaty and Donald Brew¬
er will accompany the numbers.
According to Miss Isobel
Smith, all students and faculty
free during the 11 o’clock hour
are cordially invited to attend
the 35 minute program. It will
be held in the choir room of the
new Music Building on campus.
The programs are sponsored by
the Music Department which
maps out a series of perform¬
ances for the entire semester. Not
only student talent, but other
facets of music are used for the
programs. In subsequent weeks,
choral groups, sound movies,
guest artists, alumni, and instru¬
mental acts will be presented.
The programs are held to en¬
courage the highest musical ap¬
preciation and to allow all Lan¬
cers to benefit from the per¬
formances.
Although a program is sched¬
uled to be held each Wednesday
at this time, the difficulty of find¬
ing a free hour for all musically-
inclined students is still a great
one. Miss Smith commented that
anyone knowing of a more con¬
venient time than 11:15 Wednes¬
days should speak to a member
of the faculty of the Music De¬
partment.

dens or Montebello Senior High

Extended Day Art
Exhibited in 300C
In an attempt to illustrate to
the local public and students at
Pasadena City College the work
which is in progress in art courses
in the extended day curriculum,
an art exhibit of such work will
be held beginning March 27
and continuing through April 22.
The art galleries in 300C will hold
the exhibit which emphasizes con¬
temporary and modern interpre¬
tation. Forty-five paintings will
represent the groups of drawing,
water color, oil painting, and de¬
sign.
The select choice of artistic
work in the exhibit was created
by the extended day students of
Donald Yacoe. Three courses in
the field of art are under the su¬
pervision of Yacoe in the evening
school curriculum.
The gallery doors will be open
at approximately 7 a.m. and close
at 10 p.m. on Monday through
Thursday nights. Due to the fact
that extended day classes are not
held on Friday evenings, the gal¬
lery will close at 5 p.m. There is
no admission price to view the
exhibition.
Committee Views
Curriculum Slides
Seventy-five colored film slides
of PCC and its courses were
shown to PCC’s Student Curricu¬
lum Committee which met with
the objective of learning the stu¬
dents’ reaction toward them. The
slides covered a good majority of
the departments and subjects of¬
fered by PCC, and the student
committee made these suggestions
for their betterment:
It would be wise to show the
slides to students before they are
counseled for classes at PCC.
Thus, local high schools in this
area should be visited to show the
film shots to seniors.
More sports, club and extra-cur¬
ricular activity shots should be
included in the group to give pros¬
pective Lancers a more complete
picture of campus life at PCC.
Dr. Catherine Robbins presided
over the informal meeting. The
students present represented vari¬
ous school departments ranging
from business to mathematics to
art. In addition to discussing the
slides, the problem of classroom
cheating and a discussion on types
of examinations was held.
Cheers Rise from Journalism Row as
First Pageant Signature Goes to Press
Accompanied by an exultant cheer from a hard working staff and
adviser, the first signature of the 1957 Pageant recently went to
press. “A signature,” explained Mrs. Elaine Morgan, adviser, “is a
large sheet of paper which, when properly folded, will form 16
pages of the yearbook.”
As is the custom, the yearbook will be previewed by the public for
the first time at the Journalism Banquet which thiy year will take
place in the early part of June. Between now and preview time,
320 pages must be printed, bound, and readied for distribution.
Due to the,, way in which the book is laid out, and the fact that
several of the pages will appear in color, some pages will go through
the press ten times before they are completed.
With the first signature complete and several more nearing the
printing Stage, the staff, headed by Herb James, editor-in-chief, is
beginning to believe that PCC students will see a 1957 Pageant in
June after all.
