W e Give Thanks 2...E Well, now that Thanksgiving is nearing, most of us have laid our 191101911le Aep 313018 Sun 10; suetd you are going, to the football game to the country or staying home, you ought to have something in your minds concerning the origin and meaning of Thanksgiving. So for a While, let the fond visions of turkey, potatoes and cranberry sauce float away and in its place try to visualize an entirely different picture, The waveatossed little Mayflower, leaking, creaking, but still fighting its way mile by mile across the stormy water that separated it from the New World. There Were many things to discourage the little band of hopeful Pilgrims. But would they turn back? No, they were looking forward to a new land where they could worship and live as they pleased. And then, when they landed and established, after many hardships, the little colony of Ply- mouth, when they were all comfort- ably settled, they set aside a date on which they would feast and give Thanks to the Great Almighty, with whose help they had endured the long hard winter of hardship and starva- tion. And when Thanksgiving comes again we hope there will be a little place in your mind for this brave little band of pilgrims Young Concert Course Begins e.;a Through the efforts of the Concert Committee the students of the South Pasadena Schools will again be able to enjoy an outstanding series of four 1 educational entertainments.

Page 8.; LA TORRE October 31, 1934 1 Wow! What a Night! + Friday night October 12, everybody that came to'the P.-T. A. Old Fash- ion School had a grand time dancing the Virginia Reel; watching the babies Cooney and Lohmann sing their duet, suck their suckers, rattle their rat- tles, and blow their noses; schoolboys Baker, Earps, Mendenhall, and Hut- chins were seen dancing with maid- ens, Spellicy, Fischer, and Brown, the belles of the nineties, while the foot- ball heroes, Douthirt and Mumbyl passed the ball. Believe it or not the angels were Miss Robinson and Mfs. Williams; Everybody who was not there miss: ed a. good time. Miss Brewn and her class with the help of Miss Spellicy, Mrs. Kirt, Miss Fischer, Miss Holway, Mrs. Robinson, and many other teachers made the stage sets and had charge of the cos- tumes and dances of the gay nineties. H4..- Girls Go Hiking + The hiking program for this year will be different than last yearls. At the end of the term an overnight hike will be planned, but to go, a girl must have taken at least four hikes of four or more miles each. She must be accompanied by at least six girls from the junior high and an older person. The place for the Overnight bike has not been decided on yet, but suggestions as to where to go on the shorthikes will be posted on the bul- letixi board in the Girls' Gym. Lois Wohlwend is hiking manager this term. r ' i i w SPORTING GOODS Gym Suits Supporters i Tennis Balls and Rackets Feet Balls Feet Ball Shoes Live Hardware Co. 1511 Mission St, South Pasadena Hallway Echoes + Dorothy James went to Santa Bar- bara for the week end. She toured Hope Ranch and the surrounding vicinity and reports having had a very enjoyable time. v Priscilla Roth went to the Pasa- dena Community Playhousa to see By Candlelight featuring Hon Archie of radio fame, She reports enjoying it' immensely. Can it be a. dream or is it the ab- solute truth that those gay nineties entertainers were really our dignified teachers? With some it was conceiv- able but Mr. HutchinseThe student body was really quite shocked. Miss Holway emerging from the auditor- ium with all that makeup started a riot never to be forgotten. Seymour Hayes is building a sail- boat. He, Jack Veltman, and Pete Guillance are planning to go down the Pacific Coast next summer. Who was that handsome brute that accompanied Carol Phillips to the show October 12? Some people seemed to think he was Tarzan but we know better. Robson Eberle, Bill Mason, and Ed- gar Worth visited Glenn Ranch over the week end. The animal instincts of the junior high pupils are aroused when a cer- tain someone We all know wheels 2. big, heavy milkniekel wagon aroumi second lunch period. The desperadoes charge at the ringing of the tardy- bell and take turns jumping and rid: ing on the front end. The robbers clamor for booty but our hero, regard- less of his fatigue, sticks to his post as a. real hero should. Junior high certainly appreciates his faithfulness. Miss Robinson most decidely dis- approves of the change of offices made by Mr. Baker, She thinks that lonely upstairs office should be the princi- pal's and proceeds to tell everyone She meets, hoping, we guess, that Mr. Baker will change his mind. What isrthis rumor of a Halloween party? Somewhere along the hall one of our reporters overheard two pop- ular socialites discussing one. It seems it was to be masquerade. But who is the unknown hostess? The Junior High tower got the first bath for many a month with the rain October 17. Hannah Eckels 'hOpes it will rein again; she won five cents on that rain. 4 Anne Page Spent part of. her sum- mer playing cowgirl on her grand- motheris ranch, up north. ' The rain seemed to affect some of the pupilis mental machinery. They let their ingenious originality run its course, the consequences being that r ' w THE STYLE CENTER of the SAN GABRIEL VALLEY Complete Clothiers for Boys and Men Official Boy Scout Trading Post Come in and see our goods Pitzer and Warwick 321 E.

W Halloween Warning H-F- Halloween is here at last, Don your costume and your mask, Sally forth in jubilant glee, For a long-to-be-remembered spree. But when the Witches howl around, And goblins groan with fearful sound, And try to fill your heart with dread, You'll be safest, home in bed! eBeatrice Pearson 9B-103 Rey Kendall appeared in a straw hat which he considered decidedly out of season and somebody came in a hel- met causing quite aiconfusion. Oh! Well, we have rain only once a year. There. have been faint but indis- pensable rumors of what some people intend to do on Halloween. If they have any intentions of carrying out these threats we advise all South Pas- adenans to put away all breakable and movable objects,
