L-- J LA TORRE Hallway Echoes hh The nomineeis acceptance speeches for the student body omces were very good this semester. Bob Schureman made his speech a little comical by saying, UThose of us who have slipped on the gym field have noticed the ab- sence of grass. It's a good thing that the skating was stopped out in front of the School because the grass was begin- ning to look as if it had been plowed and then packed down by a steam roller. We wonder if Seymour Hayes and his friends are on speaking terms af- ter their ttswim in the fish pond. From the Hallway it looked as if each was trying to be the statue cen- terpiece for the fountain. Better bring your bathing suits next time, boys. Following the fine production of ttMrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, the cast enjoyed a party on the stage. Everyone had his fill of cake and pop. The South Pasadena Junior High School is noted for its organizations, clubs and other things that promote friendship. Every year lists of clubs are given to the pupils, from which they select the club they wish to join. The club activities are very interest- ing. The dramatic club gives exhibits every so often, as does the sewing club. The tumbling club treats the student body with an act of tumbling occasionally in assembly. There is also a stamp club, a sports club, a radio club, and many others. The girlst organization, Las Amie gas, is very pOpular. It meets twice a month in the school auditorium. At the meetings they usually discuss schiol problems, and then have some kind of entertainment. Las Amigas elects officers every term. Bv the work of these officers and the cooper- ation of the girls it has become a successful club. Any organization is sure to be a success it its aim is to promote friendship and goodfellow- ship.

February 19, 1935 LA TORRE, Page 7 t Giris iii Uiiiferm99 At Cemmunity Playhouse ttGirls in Uniform is an English adaptation of ttGestern uhd Heute, the German play. It is the tragic story of life in a German Girls' school whee the strict rules of the 01d mon- archy are the only ones allowed. It . tells of Manueiats childhood, of the death of her adored mother, and pic- tures her life at the girls' scheoi, where she meets Fraulein von Bern- berg, and of her tragic death. The piay his beauties and values 0.? its own. It has a peculiar beauty of expression and the whole story is told With a compassion that exquisitely avoids ail sentimentaiism. You wili find the finest expression in the char- acter of Fraulein Von Bernberg, who has accepted her misfortune and Will have more of your pity than ariy other character. There is great tenderness in the treatment of the central figure, Man- 1' h. 5011 Meinhards, and a delicate ruderstanding in the portrayal of her iove. iereannette Norton 913 A VVhiteis Speech tContinued from Page 1; A: electrons; the fields of applied psy- chology, psychometry, bacteriology, :sound photography, mechanical re- frigeration. Today we can train for these occupations but in the next dec- ade there will be as many new fields developing and as many old ones c01- 'lapsing as in the past ten years. What is to be done? We must study facts from many sources and become acquainted with modern sit- uations. We cannot be guided by the solutions of even a year ago. A broad training is the soundest training. To. day when it is impossible for anvone to definitely be sure of a job in the iine he prepares for, versatility is to 'be most desirable. Evening schools and correspondence courses are doing much for the betterment of educa- tion. It is important that we be in earnest about this business of general preparation. We must study with a burning desire to become thoroughly acquainted with the fields of our study, if we are to succeed. Tt is important to plan for leisure as well as nhweherr 'i ?'WM' . Wm three C's .of education today are citizenship. character, and culture. A good citizen is one who knows the laws and not only ohevs them but helns others to obey them also. We build character each day as we go through life, our habits and ways Cabbage Patch Folk Entertain As:em iy HMrs. Wiggs 0f the Cabbage Patch comes to town!

A Rustic Log Cabin 0h The Wiilemette After the sun had cast its last lengthening, golden rays on the peace- ful waters of the Wiilamett, a more romantic air was felt as the mellow glow from the moon sent the light upward in the eastern sky. The night creatures, night hawks, crickets, frogs, coyotes, and others chimed in, 'in their evening chorus. As the water foil gently over the wide bed of rocks it :1:rved as an ec:o:npa:3ist to the glue dub of night creatures. On the bank of the river and 3,. 111011; the gigantic iir trees, was a typical rustic log cabin of the Oregon weeds. The stilt-iike foundation on which the log cabin rested, and tho Linmil timber which served, as a back- ground to the picturesque Scene, gave a natural setting for our summer re sort. VeMary Ann Raymond 8B m.geiy determining our Character Culture is the way people feel, think, and act. These three, citizenship, character, and culture are vitally ime portaut as we enter our lifets work. No time spent on considering a pro- fitable and useful occupation is to be counted as lost time. We live in a chaiming; world.

V01. 7 rre South Pasadena, California, April 1, .1935 1X17043 Junior High To Have Exclusive Day And Night Club Problems 0f Homework Solved Pupils beware! Wizard Ayers has just invented another of his danger- ous contraptibns. This is the most deadly of all. You are now under the faculty's complete control. You can't get by with anything but the truth and good work. There is no hope in ' casting. 'off his chilly, bleak cloak which is no doubt already wrapped aroundoyou. To delay the information from leaking outiwould do no good as it is bound to come. The school. is to be acompletely refurnlished With new desks. When you are asked for your previous nights assignments, you either have it or the ciesk in which you are sitting turns extremely red. 'This device will be used for lie dee tecting also. So BEWARE my fine friends and take care. U PUPTFS; T- 13 HIP, , 4. FIRE TEACHERS 'Extra! Extra: Pupils! Attention! A new plan hes been made. The pupils are to hire and hre the teachers. Any teachers, who are not liked will be fired on the spot. Perhaps the whole preseht'faculty will be fired and new teachers employed. We are to have complete student control. The reason for the introduction of this plan: is .most of the students have beenyery V .disfsgtisned with the present faculty. L-Of course a situation like this could not go on for very long, so this plan of the pupils hiring and firing the teachers has been decided upon. We think this plan will be a huge suc- cess, and everyone will approve of it except, perhaps, the teachers. All the teachers will be put on a week's trial, and if the pupils are not pleased with their conduct at the end of that time, they will .be fired im- mediately. We hope that HRandolpo Hutchins will stop banging doors . and that Noisy Breitkreutz will stop yelling in the corridors and disturbing class- es. And that tiUntidy Ayers will stool throwing papers around the yard, and that Careless Dix will be more care- ful with the prvm equipment and not walk in the Girls Gym with her street 1 shoes 011 Teachers, warning and improve your conductla ' you had :better ltake; APOLOGIES T0 STUDENT RUDY Th Editorial Staff is not re- sponsible for-the material to be found in this issue.
