STUDENT AND ADMINISTRATOR MEET ... to discuss
Pasadena City College's plans for the observance of American
Education Week. Here are Grant Bachtold, PCC commissioner of
finance, and Dr. Catherine Robbins, academic dean, busily en¬
gaged in research on past projects for American Education Week.
Schools all across the United States will join with PCC in the
observance of this week, which is planned to promote better
understanding between school personnel and the public.
Schools all over the country are joining together this
week to observe American Education Week, which is held
each year to stress the importance of good education in the
life of each and every citizen. The week is sponsored by the
National Education Association in -
conjunction with the Office of Ed¬
ucation, the United Spates Depart¬
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare, the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers, and the
American Legion.
In past years Pasadena City
College has celebrated the week
dedicated to American schools and
their teachers with art displays,
English research papers and dis¬
cussions on the importance of ed¬
ucation, a parents night sponsor¬
ed by the Women’s Athletic As¬
sociation and. displays of books
on education in the Library.
According to Dr. Catherine Rob¬
bins, administrative dean of the
college, who is in charge of the
week-long observance on campus,
it is very appropriate that Ameri¬
can Education Week should fall
during the PCC mid-term week
since “Exams are one of the fun¬
damentals of American educa¬
tion.” ,
This year discussions similar
to those held in the past on such
topics as “The Implication of Sat¬
ellites in Education” will be
held in the social science and sci¬
ence classes.
A new display of books, pam¬
phlets and posters distributed by
the American Legion will be on
dis play this week in the Library.
PCC Choristers Prepare Christmas
Programs and Receive New Robes
Readying itself for the Christmas season is the Pasadena
City College A Cappelia Choir which will receive 120 brand
new crimsoii robes later this week. The new robes, which are
of chromespun rayon faille, will be worn with gold stoles by
the‘117 voice choir for all of its -
fall and Christmas programs.
The choir and the new robes
will make their first off campus
appearance at the 24th annual
Choir Festival at Eagle Rock
High School on November 19 at
7:30 p.m. Under the direction of
David Thorsen, the choir will sing
a Negro spiritual, “Little Boy
Chile,” and the two choir arrange¬
ment of “Hodie Christus Natus
Est” by Palestrina.
Sectional rehearsals are being
held each morning at 7 in prepa¬
ration for the presentation of the
Bach “Magnificat.” The famous
Christmas cantata will be present¬
ed on December 7 in the Oneonta
Congregational Church in Pasa¬
dena by the combined PCC Choir
and the church choir under the
direction of Thorsen.
Special rehearsals are also
scheduled for the December 4
concert at the First Methodist
Church of Pasadena and the tra¬
ditional PCC Christmas assem¬
bly which is set for December 11.
Members of the faculty and ad¬
ministration of Pasadena City
College feel that American Edu¬
cation Week should be empha¬
sized on the campus because of
the wide range of educational op¬
portunities offered by the curric¬
ulum of sthe college.
