iriuic iuMflAdDiomnAiL Harvey Mauck L '• J High Commissioner. First Semester The class of W'33 held their elections soon after the re-opening of school and chose Robert Schroeder, president; Gilbert Scott, vice-president; Verna Dalgas, sec- retary; and Bill Bradley, treasurer. Miss Maude Marks was faculty sponsor. Opening their City League season against the 1931 championship Los Angeles High School lightweight team, on October 6, the Fairfax “Babes ' dropped an 18-0 decision to the Romans on our field before some 1500 rooters. The Colonials held the Romans at bay during the first quarter, but the visitors opened up their scoring machine in the next period and shoved over a touchdown in each succeeding quarter. Rufus Willard and Winnie Whitmeyer, ends, and Leo Passin and Stan Cohen, in the backfield, stood out for Fairfax, especially Willard, who played through a greater part of the contest with an injured leg. On the same day, the Colonial Class C team opened its season with a well earned victory by defeating the 1931 championship Los Angeles High team, 6-0, on the Romans' field. This was the first win for Fairfax in two years. Bill Sellers ac- counted for the lone score in the third quarter on a line plunge. Inexperience proved a bitter teacher for the Fairfax football team as the Colon- ials opened their season against the heavy and flashy Los Angeles High School team on the Romans' field. Presenting a green but willing team, the Colonials were pushed about the field during the entire first half. The Romans scored one touchdown in the first quarter and added two more in the second quarter to wm an easy victory, IS O, although the third score was unearned. Fairfax came back strong in the second half and more than held its own with the Romans. Captain Walter Elliot, Earl Bliss and Vin Musso exhibited a good brand of ball for Fairt'ax. Playing its first practice game of the year on October 9th, Coach Ray Call's lightweight football team dropped a 9-0 decision to the Hollywood High Babes on the Redshirts' field. [18]

To provide entertainment and recreation for, and to bring out the hidden tab ents of Colonials, student talent assemblies are given at regular intervals, under the supervision of the Assistant Lord High Commissioner. The first program of the semester on October 13th featured impersonations of well known screen stars by members of the B drama classes. Displaying a line and backfield, much improved since the L.A. High contest the week previous, the lightweights swamped Lincoln, 19'0, on Van Cleve field on Oc' tober 13. This was the first victory for Fairfax since the winning of the champion ship in 1930. With the line opening big holes for the ball carrier, the backfield crashed over for three touchdowns. Leo Passin scored a touchdown and converted while Stan Cohen accounted for two touchdowns. The playing of the Colonial play' ers was so evenly matched, that no one player stood out. Girls’ Assize Court Bark How; Lift to Right: Bettye Jane Taylor. Dorothy Ranns. June Erb. Barbara Walker.
