Coed Sue Edwards Crowned
Freshman Penny Ballot Queen
PCC not only won its first foot¬
ball game of the season last Fri¬
day night, it also gained a queen
— new Frosh Queen Sue Edwards,
that is.
The results of last week’s
penny-a-vote election were count¬
ed Friday afternoon, with Miss
Edwards receiving a winning per¬
centage of the 60,302 votes cast.
Other PCC coeds, members of
the Frosh Court who competed
for the title, were Barbara Beck-
ley, of Alhambra; Joan Broom¬
field, of Pasadena; Anastasia
Doovas, of San Marino; Pru Hill,
of Indio; Marlene Kerstein, of
Monrovia; and Susan Millican, of
Pasadena.
During halftime Friday night at
Horrell Field, each of the seven
contestants was driven slowly
around the track in a 1965 con¬
vertible. The procession was led
by last year’s Frosh Queen, Bon¬
nie Bradshaw. The coeds, each
in a full-length formal, were es¬
corted onto a platform at the 50
yard line, amid fanfare from the
band and applause from the audi¬
ence. Sophomore Class president,
Rich Wheeler, officiated.
Miss Bradshaw then presented
her crown to new Frosh Queen
Susan. When her name was an¬
nounced, Miss Edwards gasped
“Me?” and burst into tears. She
was presented with a sheaf of
red roses; her princesses were
given yellow carnations.
Miss Edwards said after her
coronation, “It’s wonderful — like
a dream come true.” She added,
“Everybody has been so nice. I
really had a great bunch of kids
backing me. I couldn’t have got¬
ten anywhere without them.”
At Arcadia High School, from
which she graduated, Miss Ed¬
wards was a member of AFS, A
Cappella Choir, Chanteurs, Span¬
ish Club, Pep Club, Girls’ League
Council, and she headed a Girls’
League committee. She plans to

Second City JC
District Proposed
Last Saturday school officials
hailed the idea of a proposal to
form a new Pasadena Junior Col¬
lege District which would envel¬
op six unified public school dis¬
tricts.
The proposal presented by Dr.
С.
C. Carpenter, assistant county
superintendent of schools, would
replace Pasadena Junior College,
which is linked administratively
with the Pasadena public schools
system with the governing role of
a single board of education.
In order to form a new junior
college district a majority vote by
residents of all six school districts
will be required, consistent with
our unified school districts: La
Canada, Temple City, Pasadena,
and South Pasadena (including
Arcadia and San Marino which
are unaffiliated with a junior col¬
lege district but which must join
one by September 1967, according
to state law).
Another aspect to the proposed
plan is to create a board of edu¬
cation to govern the new district.
This was strongly advocated by
the school districts of Arcadia
and San Marino as a prerequisite
for affiliating with Pasadena Ju¬
nior College District. Joseph Lew¬
is, Jr., San Marino school board
president, said he favored a new
district “because it is not appro¬
priate to have surrounding school
districts swallowed up in the Pas¬
adena School District.”
However, Superintendent Law¬
rence Sarper of South Pasadena
District said, “The idea of a new

Lancer freshmen will go to the
polls tomorrow afternoon and
Friday to elect their class presi¬
dent.
For the first time, results of a
PCC election will be determined
electronically. Elections Commis¬
sioner Lee Rosen hopes to feed
the ballots into the computers at
the PCC Computing Center, 1539
E. Walnut, about 3:30 Friday aft¬
ernoon and have the final tally
by 3:45.
In order to obtain a ballot at
one of the polling places around
campus, a student must show his
ASB card and student identifica¬
tion card. The ballots themselves
are IBM cards with perforated
squares to be punched to signify
for whom the vote is cast.
CANDIDATES vying for the
Freshman Class president are Len
Gold, Darlene Lorenz, and Scott
Von Ousdahl. Winner of the con¬
test will be sworn in at next
week’s board meeting and imme¬
diately assume his responsibilities
as a member of the board. He will
also be announcing interviews for
Freshman Class Council.
In his campaign statement to
the Courier, Len Gold of Alham¬
bra said: “I want to aid any
member of the class with any
problem I can possibly help him
with. The major problem facing
freshmen at PCC is getting ac¬
customed to the new atmosphere.
I want to get people to under-

school. If elected I hope the peo¬
ple will put their trust in me and
support my policies.”
DARLENE Lorenz, a graduate

the following statement: “My
ideas may or may not be new, but
I do believe that the activities of

of hard work again, is not a new
one, but when put into practice,
I have found, it is best.”

Tim Morgon Back
by Popular Demand
Tim Morgon is back by popular demand for the first ASB assem¬
bly of the year. Assemblies Commissioner John Fasana has stressed
that ASB activity cards must be shown for admittance.
The cards can be purchased at the College Bank or, before the
assembly, at the Sexson Auditorium box office.
Alumnus Morgon has returned many times since his student
days. He has met enthusiastic fans at performances throughout South¬
ern California. From his home base, the Prison of Socrates in Balboa,
he sallies forth not only to remunerative appearances, but also to
the wilds where he can commune with nature while roughing it.
The beginning of this casual career was in 1961. Morgon and
some friends were having an impromptu jam session on a Balboa
street corner when the owner of a local coffee shop happened by.
Morgon’s long engagement at the Prison began soon after that.
He might still be an unknown singer in a little known establish¬
ment if a few friends had not decided that it would be fun to form
their own record company to put Tim Morgon on vinylite. The sub¬
sequent album, on the Fink label, surprised everybody by climbing
up with the top 10 selling albums at Music City — and staying there.
