PASADENA CAMPUS IN publishing this yearbook it has been the purpose of the staff to record the history of the first year of the new Pasadena Junior College- a year significant in educational experiment, readjustment, and development. The new Jun- ior College is a four-year organization including students of the recent two-year Junior College and upperclassmen of the old Pasadena High School. Welding the two organiza- tions into one created the problem of unifying the various interests of the two groups. Publishing the activities, achieve- ments, and ideals of the united institutions presented the problem of adapting to a single book the accounts of school life formerly contained in two publications, The Pirate and The Annual. lt has required a larger volume than either of those publications to record the history of this year and to portray accurately the life of the new institution. The aim of the stalf has been to produce a yearbook distinctive of the new organization, not one that is charac- teristic ofthe University or the High School, but a book representative of student interests typical of the four-year Pasadena Junior College, a book that may take its place worthily as the first volume of the Pasadena Campusf'

IN the fall of 1887 Pasadena High School, offering a three year acade- mic course, first opened its doors in the Woodrow Wilson building on the cor- ner of Walnut Street and Marengo Ave- nue. With a small part of the first floor and all of the second for their class- rooms, nine teachers constituted the fa- culty for that student body, which, with the grammar school, had 300 members. It was from this school the first class of six was graduated in 1889.
