College Considers
Rechristening PCC
Mirror Pool Area
The executive committee of the
Pasadena City' College General
Alumni Association has requested
that the Mirror Pool area of the
college be designated “Alumni
Park.” The request has been dis¬
cussed by the student government
and administration of the college
as well as by the Board of Educa¬
tion.
The area under consideration
is tile quad between Colorado
Blvd. and the Administration
Building on the north and
south, respectively, and tiie
Physical and Life Science Build¬
ings on the east and west.
In the Mirror pool area are
plaques bearing the date of each
graduating class since 1926. Before
the plaque is set relics of each
class are buried, including names
of graduates, copies of the Cour¬
ier, a copy of the Pageant and
records of student accomplish¬
ment.
In a recent letter to the mem¬
bers of the Board of Education,
Alumni Association president
Ron Yielding stated, “We feel
it is therefore fitting that tills
. . . area, standing as the mast
beautiful . . . portion of the
campus grounds, be officially
dedicated as the “Alumni Park”
of Pasadena City College, in
honor of those who daily are
distinguishing themselves and
bringing credit ... to their alma
mater.”
He further stated that the
Alumni Association would assume
any costs connected with the dedi¬
cation of the area, including
markers, plaques, and so on.
The Board of Education has
taken no definite action as yet.
One board member suggested that
action be delayed until the high
school has left the campus as the
property on which the college is
built is actually the property of
the Pasadena High School Dis¬
trict.

culture, are works of Miss Fannie
M. Kerns.
Versatility and zest are key¬
words in everything Miss Kerns
creates; many of her ideas have
come as a result of her exten¬
sive world travels. The Mexi¬
can water color, on the other
li(md, illustrates Miss Kerns’
impression of a recently-read
book on Mexico.
The lithographs and wood cuts
were done by Albrecht Duer, a fa¬
mous German artist of the 15th
and 16th Centui'ies. Included in
this collection are such works as

"The Flight into Egypt,” “The
Flagellation of Christ,” “The De¬

ciety, Inc., of Los Angeles, from

tions are solicited for these foyer
