EC; No. 5 Student Body Bids Mr. Mumby Farewell WOH South Pasadena Junior High bids a reluctant farewell to Mr. Mumby, our roach in exchange with Mr. Ayers. We were very fortunate in having the services of such a iine teacher, gentleman, athlete and, above all, such a fine sportsman, even if it was 'for so short a period of time. While Mr. Mumby was here we learned to respect him a lot and we gained considerable knowledge and symathletic understanding of the problems of his adopted land, India. The La Torre Staff on behalf of the Student Body extends to Mr. Mumby and his family sincere wishes for the best of luck and happiness, v-7. Glee Clubs Sing Carols in Halls h... -..

The Glee Club runs to their respective places. There is but one minute before the curtain rises. Can the terrified crowd of hu- man beings ever resemble order? Betsy run tragically to Miss Brown and implores her to do something to the costume. She does, and with a few deft pats and pulls twists it into Mare. Suddenly the call for the cur- tain Miss Brown shakes her head dsseeairingly and struggles to raise her voice above the overture and the talking.

Fire Drills e-o-oeo- Three times, then two, the bell rings. What is your reaction when the fire signal is heard? Many times it is just a drill, but some day it may really mean iire. Now a few amble along with utmost leisure; Wouldnlt it be different if they saw smoke and flames pouring from a window? What would you do in that case? Some people grow panic-stiicken at the sight of fire in the building, but if they keep calm, and think, all the danger can be avoided. Fire drills are to show pupils the routine plan of action. We have to do the rest. Nobody gets fldgety during the drills, and drills are to eliminate confusion in case of a real fire. D. H. n-o-ao-oeeo- Doings of Other Schools F- The Austin High School of El Paso, Texas, has required that every club have a constitution and every student member be passing in four solids. The constitution must state the aim of the particular club. The object of this is to eliminate inactive and worthless clubs. HsF The Government Class of the Hor- ace Mann Junior High School, Bur- lington, Iowa, held a mock election in there classroom. Several pupils in- vestigated the city polls to see how they worked. Four booths were erect- ed in the room and the students voted on sample ballots out of newspapers. It was quite instructive, . a yillis Brown tContinued from Page 11 Girls Spread --.$ ed. The winning homerooms in soccer and volleyball received banners for their homerooms. The girls were sur- prised with new letters for their gym suits. They are round circles with a diameter of 111.; inches. The initial of the sport is embroidered on the class color. Every girl is eligible to receive one of these initials for her gym suit. To earn one of these letters you have to be present at every after school game of the sport in season. After lunch a program was given. It consisted of a tableaux from each class. A prize was given for the best tableaux. Nancy Sheldon gave a Christmas reading. G.M.I. managers took the set of rules based on the gymnasium acrostic and worked each rule into a thhatls Wrong With This Picture . The audience guessed What was wrong. Christmas carols were sung. CAMPIN G e...h. Camping is my hobby for several reasons. When you go camping you are out of doors. You 'see many trees and flowers that you have never seen before. You learn campcraft. There is a certain way to put up your tent and to take it down. There is fishing, swimming, boating, and hiking. You do not have to close the door when you come in or be quiet in the house There is a feeling of freedom in that glorious word thamping ! eHoward Cheverton 7B 111 $1 .I gm tContinueu from Page i; Carols in Halls 1., ,1 corridors of the school singing carols. Heads were lifted from school work as the Christmas spirit stole into our hearts encouraged by the carol sing- ers. Earlier in the day the whole school sang joyously, grouped in front of the creche in the front foyer, caroling until time for first period classes. It furnished a beautiful setting for a most beautiful old custom. Mrs. Lembka, directing a group of enthus- iastic and artistic pupils, had erected a large creche picturing the baby Jesus in his manger cradle. Gratefully we brought our gifts for those less fortunate than ourselves and laid them at His feet. .eae Mr. Hutchins: nWhat kind of docu- ment is required by law for an authority to search a house, Ben 17 Ben Partch: Huh!
