Orange Grove Blvd., for the first time since the family has given the estate to the Tourna¬ ment of Roses Committee for its headquarters. ONE HUNDRED girls remain¬ ed in the contest on Tuesday, Oct. 27. The judging was contin¬ ued af 1:30 p.m. at the Hunting- ton-Sheraton and the field was further narrowed down to 50 charming young misses. As tension mounts, these 50 anxious girls will continue to be reviewed by the judges today. Again, the Huntington-Sheraton Hotel will be the scene of the se¬ lection. After today's judging, the 25 chosen beauties will have to wait in suspense until their next en¬ counter with the judges on No- . vember 11. This delay will give them the opportunity to relax, to make an necessary alterations in their wardrobe, and to concen¬ trate on their face and figure be¬ fore the next crucial selection. AT THIS POINT the job before the members of the Rose Queen Selection Committee becomes both enviable and arduous. The 25 co¬ eds who have survived the pre¬ vious eliminations are all well- favored in appearance and person¬ ality, making further judging quite a formidable task. With only 25 girls from which to choose the queen and her court, the judges will have two oppor¬ tunities to review their charming an film on surfing. It will be narrat¬ ed, in person, by Bruce Brown who also filmed the movie. Be¬ ing a surfer-photographer com¬ bination, Bruce has really taken some action-packed scenes. The film includes the daring adventures of five well-known Southern California surfers. To add to the enjoyment, the entire movie was filmed in Hawaii. You will thrill to the giant surf and to the beaches of the islands. Along with this you will see the world’s most expert and fear¬ less surfers in action. The film still has one more added attrac¬ tion; it features a fascinating and original jazz underscore perform¬ ed by the Bud Shank Quartet. subjects. Following the judging at the Huntington-Sheraton on No" vember 11, the girls will appear at Wrigley Gardens for the final selection the next day. On November 12 the seven members of the 1960 Tournament of Roses Court will be named. This gorgeous group will grace the Tournament pageant and en¬ hance the beauty of the New Year’s Day Celebration. From this last group of seven, the queen will at last be chosen on December 3, bringing a sigh of relief to the harried judges and a scream of delight from her majes¬ ty. *Pep dance The Women’s Gym will be the scene of big doings after Sat¬ urday night’s football game against Ventura. From the end of the game until midnight, the Hi-liters will be on hand to pro- vited the beat for a Pep Com¬ mission sponsored dance. A mere 25 cents will be required for admission from ASB mem¬ bers while 35 cents will be ask¬ ed of non-book holders. ASB presentation features surf film The Associated Student Body is putting- on a very enter¬ taining- assembly Thursday, Oct. 29. Although it is not a gen¬ eral assembly and, therefore, not required for anyone, we are sure this is one assembly you won’t want to miss. The pro¬ gram will feature an excellent Brown's performance will mark the third ASB assembly of the current semester with three more due before January 31. One of these will be the Christmas pro¬ duction and another will revolve around the elections slated for the sixteenth week. In the last ASB presentation, Teddy Buckner and his undulat¬ ing counterparts were well re¬ ceived by members of the stu¬ dent body. As usual tomorrow’s show gets underway at 11:40 a.m. and will run until 12:30 p.m. And also as usual, a student body card will be required for admission. this season. Marcia Musser, a native of Phoenix, Ariz., who has played in little theater and high school pro¬ ductions in such places as Balboa, Panama and Bethesda, Md., is cast in the leading female role of Georgina Allerton. The male lead, that of a dy¬ namic young newspaperman, went to Jack Scottsdale, a thespian with experience in the Pasadena Com¬ munity Playhouse and also PCC presentations of “Winterset” and “The Matchmaker,” both of which were produced last year. A PCC drama major, Bill Den¬ man, acts as student director for “Dream Girl.” Last year Denman played one of the leading roles in “The Matchmaker.” He also was student director of “Harvey,” another of last year’s productions. Mrs. Annabel Cooney, local dra¬ ma coach, is supervising the whole affair in the capacity of di¬ rector. Other more prominent mem¬ bers of the cast include Sharon Crawford, Judy Slote, Joan Ou- zounian, Jerry Von Aspe, Roger McCallum, Lloyd Steele, Gary Heaton, and George Flower. Meanwhile, 44 students com¬ prise the production staff. Don Keck and his stage crew have con¬ structed delightful and imagina¬ tive settings for the many scene ehanges. Notable faculty members who are contributing their time and talents are Mrs. Margaret Plan- tico, costume supervisor; Mrs. Dorothy Colwell, make-up; and Miss Bess Tye, publicity. In a nutshell, the “Dream Girl” plot concerns an emotionally im¬ mature college grad who is try¬ ing to run a bookstore in New York and at the same time try and decide which one of her three suitors she really loves, if any. Often given to daydreaming in a futile attempt to solve this prob¬ lem, the young lady continues to wrestle with her emotions, hop¬ ing to achieve a solution. But enough said. Sexson Audi¬ torium will provide the answers tomorrow night. — Courier Photo by Joo Uttor Skilled surfboarder Bruce Brown will be the fea- WILL tured performer at tomorrow’s assembly.
