Campus Women's Letter Club Concocts
Fifteen Cent Candied Apple Confections
A taste treat is in store for all Lancers tomorrow and
Friday as the campus Women’s Letter Club again sponsors its
semi-annual sale of candied apples. For the insignificant fee
of 15 cents any inhabitant j>f the PCC campus may purchase
one of these delicious delicacies.
WLC has been selling these de¬
lectable tidbits for many years,
and are always greeted by a favor¬
able response from the student
body. In the two day selling pe¬
riod, a maximum of 116 dozen
candied apples have been sold.
This year, with a limited member¬
ship in the club, the sale will com¬
mence with 40 dozen on hand,
with arrangements to obtain more
for Friday if needed.
The apples will be on sale in
front of the Women’s and Men’s
Gyms, on the Prairie, and in
classes. They will be sold by
members of the Letter Club.
The confections are concocted
by a local candymaker and are
actually apples on a stick and
coated with a caramel candy. Pro¬
ceeds from the event will be
used by the WLC for a special
club project.
Women’s Letter Club is an or¬
ganization composed of women
who excell in one or more sports.
Lancerettes who join WAA and
earn a certain number of merits
are eligible to become WLC mem¬
bers. Women enter competitive
games of tennis, basketball, base¬
ball, badminton and swimming.
PTA Plans First
Evening Program
Meeting the counselors is the
aim of the Patrons Parent-Teach¬
er Association meeting this Thurs¬
day evening at 8 p.m., in Harbe-
son Hall when the first open PTA
meeting will be held. The pro¬
gram will open with a welcoming
address by Dr. William B. Langs-
dorf, president of Pasadena City
College. Lancer counselors will
attend to explain guidance and
testing programs, college trans¬
fer of credits, terminal courses
and make up work. After a ques-
, tion and answer period, refresh¬
ments will be served.
Students are urged to encour¬
age parent participation. Dues
are only 50 cents per person al¬
though it is not necessary to be
a member to attend the meeting.
Part of the PTA fund is avail¬
able as aid to needy students
when necessary.
The purpose of the entire PTA
program is to provide better un¬
derstanding between student, par¬
ent and teacher. This coopera¬
tion helps the student to achieve
his best in academic, vocational
and social activity.
The PTA theme this year is
“Our Community College — Vision,
Courage, Action.” This organiza¬
tion predicts that four-year col¬
leges will be overloaded and un¬
able to accept freshmen and
sophomores soon. Thus, vision
and action are needed now.

ing the best book collections. The

half-way mark as students well
recognize by the scheduling of
mid-term examinations. Mid¬
semester exams will commence
this Friday and continue next
Tuesday through Friday. Club
activities and meetings will
cease next week to enable stu¬
dents to study for their tests.
Director Selects
Hit Comedy Cast
Selection of the leading and
supporting roles for “Born Yes¬
terday,” the second Theater Arts
production of the year, was an¬
nounced last week with Lynne
Kaesmeyer winning the coveted
part of Billie Dawn, the charm¬
ing but dumb blonde ex-chorus
girl. The production will be pre¬
sented in PCC’s Little Theater,
30C, from December 2 to 6 and
will be open to the general public.
“Born Yesterday,” one of the
most famous comedies in recent
years and one which enjoyed a
long, long run on Broadway, has
a cast of 12 men and four women.
Heading the players with Miss
Kaesmeyer is Tony Cuppari as the
vulgar, egotistic junkman Harry
Brock, and Bob Leslie, as the
idealistic young magazine report¬
er, Paul Verrall.
Supporting these characters will
be John Holmstrom as Ed Devery,
Bob Bartlett as Senator Norval
Hedges and Jane Young as his
wife. Charles Crafts will enact
the part of Eddie Brock, Bob
Mackie will portray an assistant
manager and Sylvia King has the
role of Helen.
The story line tells how Billie,
a prodigy of Harry Brock, is
taught the social graces by the
young reporter and falls in love
with him at the same time. How
Billie learns to be a lady results
in some hilarious scenes for the
viewers of the comical production. _
