Experience gained
through Youth Day
More than 1200 Pasadena stu¬
dents will receive on-the-spot
training in their chosen profes¬
sion next Tuesday as part of the
annual Youth Day proceedings
sponsored by the Pasadena Junior
Chamber of Commerce.
Headed by student chairman
and PCC sophomore Steve Smith,
Youth Day has arranged for stu¬
dents from Pasadena City Col¬
lege, Pasadena High School, Muir
and St. Andrew’s to visit over 200
local businesses.
THE FOUR basic purposes of
Youth Day, as Smith explained
them, are to acquaint youth with
the enterprises in the communi¬
ty, to aid the student in choosing
a vocation, to help young people
become more civic-minded, and to
show free enterprise in action.
Pasadena youth will literally
“take over the town” Tuesday as
they fill positions in civil service,
newspapers, hospitals, schools, in¬
dustry, department stores, and
all types of business firms.
STUDENTS participating in
the event are excused from
classes for the time they are visit¬
ing their business, and are asked
to submit an essay upon their
return to school on how the day
broadened their knowledge of the
American free enterprise system.
The Junior Chamber of Com¬
merce will award prizes to the
top essay writers from each of
the high schools.
Several months ago students
were asked to fill out cards nam¬
ing their chosen profession. The
Junior Chamber of Commerce
representatives and the student
committee then worked to find
businesses which would be will¬
ing to host students for a day —
and the two were matched up.
In many cases the student will
have the opportunity to actually
work on the job. Other partici¬
pants will receive tours, demon¬
strations and talks.
Legislation discussed
by Young Democrats
The Kerr-Mills Law and the
King-Anderson Bill will be the
topic of discussion at next Tues¬
day’s meeting of the PCC Young
Democrats at noon in 200C.
Dr. Allan Butler, international¬
ly known pediatrician and for¬
mer chief of the Harvard Medical
School of Pediatrics, will give his
views on the controversial medi¬
cal bills.
The talk is not limited to Young
Democrat club members, and
presdent Bob Eisenberger has
urged any interested person ' to
attend.
Students interested in becom¬
ing a member of the Young Dem¬
ocrats should also attend the
meeting, Eisenberger stated.
There will be time after the
meeting for new applicants to fill
out club forms.
SURFING TIME — A combination of "Barefoot Adventure" and
"Slippery When Wet" will be presented tomorrow in Sexson
Auditorium at 8 p.m. The movie is produced by Bob Brown and
tickets may be purchased at the College Bank for $1 .25.
Orators capture

Pasadena City College’s foren¬
sics squad, directed by Carl Bo-
vero, placed second in the nation
during a recent forensic tourna¬
ment in Kansas.
The squad, which was spon¬
sored by Phi Rho Pi, won 16
