| As their annual fall presentation, Player's
Guild premiered last November, Ian Hay's comedy-romance,
"Bachelor Born." An amusing drama, it dealt with
the hilarious adventures of two sisters, who on their visit
to the headmaster of a boy's school, roomed next to 150
of the red-blooded college lads. Outstanding in his role
of Charles Donkin, the headmaster, was Paul Carroll. The
two Farringdon sisters were admirably portrayed by Marilyn
Walker and Micky Rogers. Elizabeth Flint was director.

The Pasadena junior Chapter of Delta Psi
Omega, national honorary dramatics fraternity, gave as their
annual spring production, the Sutton Vane play, "Outward
Bound." A new high for drarna interpretation was reached
that night with Lamont Johnson, Miriam Purdon, and Bill
Burke copping all honors. Dan Simon, J. C. England, David
Browne, Pat Hops, and Joe Pyle were also excellent in their
supporting roles. The play pictured a group of people that
had died and were on their way to heaven, or hell. The presentation
was directed by Miss Elizabeth Keppie, adviser, assisted
by Scott Beal.

Service of Distinction
Ever since the first ceremony in 1927, "tapping"
has been the most dramatic tradition. The element
of expectancy and suspense as students and faculty
wait to see which ones will be "tapped"
into the organization has proved a highlight
of each year.

OMD Ceremony Tomorrow; Memorial for PJC War Dead
"Standing Room Only" Crowd Expected to Witness
Tapping Of Outstanding PJC Students.
Tomorrow the most ceremonious awaited assembly of the
semester will honor students who have done outstanding
work at PJC, by "tapping" them into the school's
highest honorary organization, the Order of the Mast
and Dagger. As the tapping ceremony starts, OMD members
walk down the aisles of the auditorium, followed by
the eyes of every student present, for no one knows
who is to be tapped until the OMD member steps forward
and lays his hand on the shoulder of the, new member.
Three-semester contribution in the fields of student
body activities, scholarship athletics, and citizenship
bring this award and a specially large number of students
are to be tapped this semester, the 15th anniversary
of OMD.
At this assembly also, a short memorial service will
be presented by Warren Allen, OMD president, and Ernie
Blumberg, will be held for those PJC students who have
lost their lives In this second World War. They are:
JOHN C. ENGLAND
WAYNE GURRON
JOHN A. KARLI
GILBERT KINNEY
HAROLD ROBINSON
WILLIAM SHAFER
GERALD STRINZ
NED THOMAS
ALAN TIBODE
LEWIS IRWIN
As a lighter part of the program (much lighter) Dell
Hungerford and an assorted group of madmen will present
acts designed to loosen laughter from any individual.
A "standing - room only" crowd is expected,
this assembly being one of the most Popular and well-attended,
so an students wanting seats should leave promptly for
the auditorium at 8:55 (E) and 10:39 (W). The assembly
will be opened by Bob Heublein, first semester President
of the student body who will officially turn his office
for the-next semester over to E. Pay Davis, with the
presentation of the president's gavel.
