They s Friday PCC CouSii&v Vol. 9, No. 6 Pasadena City College, Pasadena, California October 29, 1958 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.
