146 T H E A R T 1 S A N S ' 36 CHARLES PERCIVAL FONDA By Jack Carlow As I wandered somewhat bewilderedly down the lengthy corridor of our new science building, and as I gazed at the mingling crowds, my only regret was that Mr. Fonda could not be there to behold this view of the new Manual, as I did. When I was asked, by a friend, what I knew of Charles Fonda, I regretfully responded that I knew very little from a personal relation- ship; but much as a student who was guided under his skillful hand. I believe that a personality which could be viewed favorably by the masses, was far superior to a personality viewed favorably by a few friends. As Charles Fonda knew hundreds of boys intimately, we may venture to say that he will always be held in their highest esteem, as he held such a fine influence over them. If there was any unpopularity it did not rise from his personality, but from the office he occupied. Now that the teachers of Manual Arts personally contact many of those concerned with petty offences, the work of the office is better understood. The wisdom of this noble man can best be expressed by his unselfish thoughts pertaining to Divine Intervention. He once told a teacher at Manual Arts who was broken-hearted over the loss of her sister, that brooding was selfish. His philosophy was associated with his office. He expected from boys everything that was right and fine, and demanded that all undesirable qualities be removed. It might be said that the following motto best ex- plains the philosophy of Charles Fonda — When you play football, hit the line hard, with no fouling, with no shirking, but, hit the line hard. He indeed commanded the respect of the faculty, and the respect of the girls and boys, always.

I ' resident, was last Tuesday initiated into the duties of Police Captain, by Charles Randolph of the Lincoln Heights Jail. He was first taken through the entire jail and shown the complete procedure of a prisoner getting booked. Phil was next taken to the rifle range, where a luncheon was given. Here also he witnessed an exhibition by a national shooting champion. Having an opportunity to show his ability, he attempted to hit the bull ' s eve. Phil Gibbs who is very modest, stated that he missed the target by over two feet. 1 le was then taken to the City Hall and shown through the commun- ication department. Phil stated afterwards that he wished he could he police captain every day. and that he had a grand time. Marvin Katzman, Superior Judge, vacated v Hartley Shazv Superior Judge was the title Marvin Katzman held during Boys ' 1 lay in Citizenship, when he assumed the position vacated by Superior Judge Hartley Shaw. Arriving in court at 9:30 A. M. Marvin was ushered into Judge Shaws ' Chambers by a Count) ' Sheriff. Because the Superior Court of Appeals only meets every Thursday. Judge Katzman spent the greater part of the day in the chamber of Judge Shaw talking about various phases of law and reading briefs of cases soon to he called. According to Marvin Katzman, Judge Shaw told him of a case wherein a man who was supposed to receive $14 hut only was given $1- for his week ' s work by his employer. Knowing that he should have re- ceived two dollars more, the man sued in Small Claim Court. According to the judge of this court the man was only worth twelve dollars a week and thus he lost the case. The same case was brought before die Municipal Court and again the case was dropped. James Roberts, City Councilman, vacated by James .1 . Hyde Jimmy Roberts. Manual Arts student body president, taking the position of City Councilman vacated by James M. Hyde, attended the ( ity Council which, on that daw was composed entirely of high school students and presided over by Walter Moore, the Thomas Jefferson student body president. Jimmy stated that he would have enjoyed his day more if something of interest to high school students had been brought up.
