Grid Fans Urge 'Beat Compton!’
PCC CotVUe/i
Cooper to Emtee
A5B Pep Assembly
“Beat Compton!” will reverberate through Sexson Audi¬
torium tomorrow when Alex Cooper, honorary ASB president
of PCC, the Lancer Band, PCC and Compton cheerleaders
combine to raise Lancer football fever to a fighting pitch for
the annual classic scheduled for
the Rose Bowl this Friday at
8 p.m.
On hand to help Cooper en¬
tertain Lancer fans will be the
Continentals, a well known
male quartet, who have ap¬
peared in the east on the Ed
Sullivan Show and in New
York’s fabulous Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel. On the West Coast this
vocal group has played the
Statler Hotel in Los Angeles,
the Huntington-Sheraton Hotel,
the Moulin Rouge and the
Dunes in Las Vegas. Currently
they are entertaining audiences
at Ciro’s in Hollywood.
The traditional clash, high point
of the grid season, will give the
Lancers their chance to show
their superiority over the Tar¬
tars, highest-ranked JC team in
the country. The prospect of this
contest should make every red-
blooded PCC student eager to at¬
tend the game, especially after
last Friday’s victory over East
LA JC.
If any greater inducement is
needed, PCC’s Men’s Glee Club,
under the direction of William
Benulis, will entertain during
half time with their renditions
of the Fight Song and our Al¬
ma Mater.
All students, planning to attend
the game are urged to wear white
shirts, sweaters, or jackets. This
custom, will make the rooting
section appear much more uni¬
form, and will create a unified
feeling for the rooters, also.
Alex Cooper has been the em¬
cee for many an assembly. A
graduate of Muir High School as
well as of PCC, Cooper is one of
the big five disc jockeys on KLAC,
and he always responds to the
call of his old Alma Mater.
ASB books are required for ad¬
mittance to the assembly. As usu¬
al, Spartans and Circle
К
mem¬
bers will be stationed at the doors
to check the books.

The following excerpt from
Newsweek is typical of the critic¬
al acclaim this film has received:
“Ever since he froze his audi¬
ence in their seats with ‘The 39
Steps’, Alfred Hitchcock has held
a superbly trademarked reputa¬
tion. His latest effort, ‘Rear Win¬
dow,’ is a masterpiece in any
man’s composition book.”
Headed by Stewart and Kelly
and set in Greenwich Village, the
plot revolves around Stewart, a
foot-loose photographer for a pic¬
ture magazine who finds himself
incapacitated with a broken leg
after an uncommonly strenuous
bit of news coverage. Recovering,
he sits day after day in his apart¬
ment, looking out on the court
around him through his large
rear window. The assortment of
lives passing in front of his bin¬
oculars includes a rather unhappy
couple on the second floor across
the court. They are a traveling
man and his querulous, invalid
wife.
