WHITTIER, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, DEC. 5, 1929 No. 12 ATURDAY Annual Banquet and Theatre Party Held by Franklin Society Some twenty -six Franklins with their ladies attended the annual Franklin formal at the Nickabob Cafe Saturday evening, November 23, followed by a theatre party at the Hollywood Playhouse theatre. A splendid dinner was served during which Wallace Wiggins, former president of the society and speaker of the evening, was introduced by vice- president Manley Reitz. Wally's short, but witty speech was enthusiastically received by the guests. Immediately after the banquet, the group drove over to the Hollywood Playhouse where "Girl Trouble," starring Eugene O'Brien, proved a worthwhile attraction. Those who attended were: Everett Sanderson, Florence Binford, Frank Jones, Ruby Gray, Oscar Persing, Carol Holmes, Dick Miller, Lone Dingle, Andy Tomilnson, Doris Field, Wallace Wiggins, Camellya Lutrelle, Manley Reitz, Janet Brydon, Claire Jobe, Marian Manley, Los Wampler, Eldine Hamm, Harry Smith, Nina Knowles, Jimmie Jones, Mable Evans, Allen Landreth, Dorothy Whitney, Joe Bosio, Dorothy 'Mellish.

Los Wampler arranged the details of the affair. Freshmen Lead In Interclass Debate The interclass debate championship fell to the hands of the Frosh Monday morning, when they defeated the Sophomores in a close and interesting debate on Mexican restriction. Delyn Hornaday and Joseph Sweeney, freshmen, argured for the affirmative on the question, Resolved: that Mexican immigration should be restricted. The Sophomores were represented by Hudson Cox and Gordon Wods. The varying opinions of the two sides were largely centered around the economic and social aspects of the question, the extra long chapel period made WHITTIER GROUP IN UNUSUAL TRIP A week ago Friday, November 22, a representative group of students from the Cosmopolitan Club, headed by Dr. Jones, visited the School-.of All Nations in Los Angeles. Those making up the party were Edwin Pressy, Jesse Bromilow, Edith Mitchell, Ralph Onazuka, Robert Bau, Theodore Ing, Kihei Matsoo and Dr. Jones. The party arrived at the School of All Nations, which is located at Sixth and Gladys Sts., at three o'clock, and remained until five o'clock. During that time many interesting things were discovered. Among the six-hundred students enrolled, including both children and adults, there are fifty-four nations represented. A regularly paid staff of thirty is kept, but there are I. possible by the shorter morning classes, one hundred and twenty free time work was packed full of interest and dra- j matics. Joe Sweeney, red headed Wardman Hall boy, was easily the sensation of the day. Professors Harris, Homan, and Henley acted as judges. They turned in a two to one decision in favor of the Frosh. A fine loving cup from the Franklin Society was presented to the winners by Joe Bosio as a perpetual prize. Fred Ashton, Helen Malone and Eldine Hamm made short speeches announcing the Football Banquet in the "English Tavern," Saturday night, December 7. An able group of students has been putting in its full time lately, and those who know say it's to be the best Football Banquet thrown in the history of the College. Miss Terpstra led the student practice of a song planned for the John Greenleaf Whittier Birthday Banquet, Dec. 17, in the Gold Room of the Biltmore Hotel. Biology Club Adds Eight New Members The Biology Club met Tuesday, November 19th in the Major Laboratory. The new members did not know what to expect, but they realize that their time was about up. After a short business meeting, some of the new members furnished the club with a very interesting program. Harold Spencer told us about Yellowstone National Park and its many points of interest including the famous geyser and the animal life such as the bears, deer, elk, bison, and antelope Perhaps the bears are the favorites among the tourists, at least they are the most anxious to get acquainted. They will even stop your car and demand food, or will come to your camp when you are away and rob it. This was followed by a talk by Ros- coe Buckner. He seems to want to have ers, who volunteer their services. There is a special school for the children of working mothers, and special attention is given to the boy and girl problem. The recreational equipment is fine, including a gymnasium and library, and camps in the summer. A significant item of interest is the fact that this particular community three years ago •was the center of juvenile crime, and today, owing to the fine work of the school, it is a place of the least juvenile crime. After leaving the school, the party went to Yet Quong Low's restaurant near there, and enjoyed a typical Chinese dinner, including chop-sticks and all. From there they visited the General Hospital, where Ralph Veady is gradually recovering. They found him plucky and cheerful as ever, and were assured of his intention to return to Whittier College next semester. As a conclusion to the trip, the party went to Warner Bros. Theatre, where they saw the much-talked of "Disraeli." WHY ASILOMAR (Continued on Page 6) For thirty-two years men have left their homes at Christmas time and journeyed, sometimes more than a thousand miles, to mingle with other men from the college of the Pacific Coast in the Intercollegiate Conference at Asilomar. From the mere handful of college men who met at Pacific Grove in 1897 in the first intercollegiate gathering, the conference has grown to include more than three hundred men from forty or fifty institutions of higher learning. What is it that draws the9e men year after year, induces them to leave their vacation jobs and perhaps sacrifice the fellowship of Christmas-at-home? What is there in that gathering together of men from all the colleges of the coast for a week or ten days? There must be something of extreme value for serious-minded, clear- thinking men do not give up their time and money for nothing. Three things stand out above all others as valuable in Asilomar. The first, the men one meets, the leaders, the worldAuilders who are always there to lead the thought of the youngr men. Contacts with men who are otherwise inaccessible, are offered at Asilomar. Second, are the thoughts one things at Asilomar. Many men have never had a serious thought in their lives until a great experience jars them out of their complacency. Men think at Asilomar! The third, the great beauty of the place. Asilomar is one of the most beautiful spots in all the world. The rugged, gnarled cypress and pines go almost to the water's edge, where a pounding serf throws its weight against the rocky shores. Under the pines, along the shore and among the dunes, one discovers a beauty that must be akin to the great eternal idea of beauty. That is why Asilomar! Open House Hear Ye! Noble Quakers! Put this down in your memorandum. Open-house will be celebrated on the Whittier College Campus, Sunday, December 8th. That is, the stately portals of this great institution will be wide open to all friends interested in college life. It is sincerely hoped that students and faculty will cooperate in making this day a successful one. Bring your folks; all of your friends; make them feel at home, and show them that Whittier College is a real place. Whittier's History Told by W.V. Coffin Dr. W. V. Coffin brought an in teresting account of the early history and founding of the town of Whittier and Whittier College to the student body in chapel Monday morning, November 25. With Dr. Coffin were Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Reed, both early settlers in Whittier. Chapel was opened with students singing the Alma Mater led by Miss Terpstra. Dr. Coffin was an early settler in this community and his talk was interesting and instructive. The students were taken back to the years of the Spanish Land grant, and to the conception of the plan for a Friends community in this district. The account of the difficulty in securing an adequate water supply for the town was particularly interesting. Dr. Coffin was for a long time active in the management of the State School and for many years he held the president of the board of control of Whittier College. ANNUAL AFFAIR TO BE HELD AT ENGLISH TAVERN Splendid Program Arranged for Outstanding Event of College Year Success Assured as Tickets Sell Rapidly Athenians Discuss Formal at Meeting At the regular society meeting last Monday night, the customary event, of electing new members into the club, took place. The next subject for discussion was that of the annual society formal which will take place December 14. It will consist of a theatre party at the Car- they Circle Theatre followed by a ran- dezvous at the Nicabob blue room in Los Angeles, where it will be possible for everyone to have a very good time. It was agreed that all members cooperate 100% in donating to the Xmas party given by the Y. W. C. A. Social Service Committee for the benefit of the poor children of Whittier. At last the "big event" of the year has arrived. Saturday night at 7:30 the English Tavern will be the scene of the Football Banquet. You'll be sorry if you you miss it so be sure and buy your tickets immediately. The Football Banquet is an annual semi-formal affair honoring our football men. The climax of the evening arrives when the captain tosses a forward pass to the captain-elect. The quaint English Tavern at Hadley and Whittier Blvd. has been chosen as the scene of this year's event. The tables will be beautifully decorated and will be lighted with tall tapers to carry out the Old English atmosphere. The hostess has promised us a delicious menu. Incidentally there will be plenty to satisfy the hungriest football star. The favors will be another .surprise. You'll enjoy every minute at the Banquet. The novel program is a secret, but here are a few hints: Bob Tomlinson and his peppy harmony boys will furnish the music. Genial Professor Harris will be toastmaster which practically assures the success of the evening. He promises that the "after- dinner" speakers will make it short and snappy.
