Thespians Try Out for ‘All My Sons’ PCC’s Theater Arts program got off to a flying start last week as more than 60 students audi¬ tioned for the nine available parts in “All My Sons,” the first of four offerings by the Drama De¬ partment. Although final casting has not as yet been determined, Miss Annabel Anderson, faculty director, feels confident of having an outstanding cast. The play will be presented Thursday, Oct. 31, and Friday, Nov. 1, in Sexson Auditorium. It is the story of a small town man, Joe Keller, whose carelessness and weakness caused his son’s death during World War II. The entire plot evolves around this episode, and relates its effects on the major characters, including Mrs. Keller, who will not believe her son Larry has died, Chris Kel¬ ler, the surviving son, and Ann Deever, who was in love with Larry but now loves Chris.

We Need Your Spirit! Coach A1 Learned lit the fuse that set over 2300 Lancers full of spirit last Thursday when he appeared in the first assembly of the school year. Perhaps without knowing it, he became the reason for much of the spirit that manifested it¬ self the following day. Described as one of the most spirited Hello Days ever presented, this enthusiasm for the school and its activities seems a hopeful sign of the weeks ahead. As Coach Learned so ably pointed out, no team can do its best without the support of the student body rooting them to victory from the sidelines. Win, lose or draw, it is not the team, not the spectators, but the entire unified student body who has achieved this recognition. Beginning with the exuberant participation in the Hello Day games, Lancers both new and returning, have proven they want to push PCC “all the way.” The intrasquad Red and Gold game that night established that fact. Lancers were divided into two rooting sections, one Red, one Gold, with the alumni giving both teams a run for their money, demonstrating the fact that Pasadena as a city is anxious to back our school. Such a beginning can only be followed by a bang-up year filled with spirit-supported activities. If you, too, were inspired by Coach Learned’s welcome message, keep up your enthusi¬ asm by attending every game, dance and activity that you can. We need your spirit! cation, PCC football greats of the past and present attended the al¬ umni barbecue which was served in the men’s basketball courts di¬ rectly behind the stadium. Each year beginning from 1905 down to the present was represented by a table at which the football heroes of the past sat. Head football coach A1 Learned' addressed the dinner guests as did Board of Education President Sam Salisian. Four of the five Horrell brothers whose name is used for the new field, were pres¬ ent at the dedication. O’Mara Scholarship Under the chairmanship of Pas¬ adena Star-News sports writer Mannie Pineda, the alumni com¬ mittee has initiated a scholarship in the honor of James Patrick O’Mara, long-time educator and administrator in the Pasadena City School system. Mr. Pineda announced the scholarship during the halftime activities of the game. The grant will be given to athletes graduating from PCC and PHS who plan to enter a four-year college and continue in athletics. History Told A history of the football legacy of PCC was told to begin the half¬ time events. The Hello Day queen, Lynn Henderson, and her court were also introduced. Fol¬ lowing the intra-squad scrimmage a dance was held in Harbeson Hall with a record-breaking crowd in attendance. The stadium will be used by PCC, Pasadena High School and John Muir High School as well. The project was erected by Peter Kiewit Sons’ Co. of Arcadia and includes five classrooms, locker and shower rooms, and dressing rooms below the bleachers. In addition, an all electric scoreboard adorns the north end of the play¬ ing field to post all game scores.
