PCC Courier, March 26, 1958

nukth, south, WEST, EAST . . . Lancer col¬ legians will desert the hallowed campus grounds next week and PCC will not echo with the boisterous yells of students for one full week of relaxation. Califor¬ nia’s luxurious climate offers a wide variety of vaca¬ tion activities to suit everyone’s desire. The male population will no doubt take advantage of the open desert sky for a full week of roughing it. Unshaven faces, red checkered lumber shirts and dirty old levis are typical attire for these adventuresome chaps. The more feminine set may be found bathing in the warm spring sun on the numerous beaches through¬ out Southern California, while the more sports-mind¬ ed students will head for the mountains for a day in the snow. Finally, after a full week of vacation ac¬ tivities, the students and their families will congre¬ gate at the church of their choice for worship on Easter Sunday.

Fun, Relaxation for lager Lancers It’s that time of year again, and Pasadena City College students are beginning to count the days remaining until spring vacation arrives, on Monday, March 31. For the following seven days, Lancers will be able to spend their time anyway they please. Some will work full time, others will be catching up on back home¬ work and woAing on term papers and projects, and still others will be just plain relaxing at the beach, the mountains, the des¬ ert, or any of a dozen other fav¬ orite recreation spots. After weeks of lugging books in cold, damp weather, many Lan¬ cers will instead be lugging suit¬ cases and assorted things to the beach for a week of swimming, sun bathing, surfing, and general relaxation. This time of year is ideal wea¬ ther for the mountains, which of¬ fer such activities as skiing, hik¬ ing, and camping, and many of the hardier souls migrate there for the week. For those who like sand and sun but not much water, the des¬ ert is the logical place to go. It, too, is just right at this time of year — not too warm or too cold. It really doesn’t matter where Lancers spend their vacations, though, because it is time off from school, to be used for re¬ laxation, and all students are looking forward to having a good time next week.

The choice is left up to the school administrations in choosing the students who will be permitted to attend. Applications h^ve been made available in the Campus Crier and in classrooms.

Following each Youth Day, participating students are asked to fill out an evaluation sheet describing their duties. Infor- HEY MAW, LOOKY HYAR . . .
