1933 COLONIAL STAFF Robert Brann Verna- Dalgas Joan Crossberg Genevieve Jasaitis Jeane Lincoln James Sheller Charles Branstetter joe Fike Clio Cuarnier Beatrice Jolles Gerald Prosk Stanley Speer THE COLONIAL PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASSES OF 1933 FAIRFAX HIGH SCHOOL LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA THEME AND DEDICATION tVER since its inception the Colonial has been dedicated to an individual of prominence. Among those who have shared this honor, besides members of our own faculty, are histor- ians, aviators, scientists and educators. Last year the National Scholastic Press Association, in commenting upon the books submitted to them for judgment, declared that high school yearbooks were becoming very much stereotyped, and sug- gested that some book pioneer in a new style. We accepted the challenge. The 1933 Colonial is an attempt to give the story of the school year in chronological order, setting forth particularly those events which live in memory as school life . Formal group pictures have been subordinated, while informal pic- tures of student activities have played a more important part than ever before. What could be more fitting then than to dedicate this book to the students of Fairfax? Therefore, the staff of the 1933 Colonial respectfully dedicate this book to the Fairfax Student Body. IN MEMORIAM ANN HARVEY S’34 DIXIE TATUM W ’ 3 5 MARGUERITE ABBOTT FALL SEMESTER trmiE 11151 Registration—Study Hall 248 FALL SEMESTER SEPTEMBER 12! Colonials awoke with a start of realization that this day marked the beginning of a new school term. Registration was held in the libraries and study halls, and summer joys seemed to have been forgotten in the rush and scramble for classes. The faculty, under the direction of Principal Rae G. Van Cleve and Vice-principals Mildred Brown and DeWitt Swan again took charge of the or- ganizing of scholastic and athletic activities. Colonials are privileged to participate in school government and to elect student leaders who aid the principals and faculty in conducting the affairs of the student body. The school officers are members of the Colonial Council, executive organiza- tion. The highest officer is the Lord High Commissioner, who presides at meetings of the entire school and the Council. He is the official representative of Fairfax in all dealings with other schools. The Assistant Lord High Commissioner is his general aide and takes his place when the Lord High is absent. The Colonial term Adjutant is given to the Secretary of the student body. All monetary matters are placed under the custody of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, or treasurer. The president of the Girls' League represents the girls of Fairfax on the Council, and the presidents of the Boys' and Girls' Assize Courts are directly responsible for the social and philanthropic activities and judicial duties in the school. The head yell leader promotes school patriotism by encouraging support of athletic activities and by leading the students in organized songs and yells. The president of the Promethean society, chosen by the members of this honorary organ- ization, acts in the Council as a representative of the scholastic group. The Com- missioners of Boys' and Girls’ athletics hold similar positions and execute similar duties connected with school sports. [ 11 ] TTIUIE 1103 Principals Principal Rac G. Van Clcve. Girls’ Vicc-Principal Mildred R. Brown. Boys' Vico-Principal D. S. Swan. Various offices are filled by means other than student body elections. These are: the Commissioner of Publicity, who is responsible for all outside publicity for the school; the Commissioner of Oral Arts, who arranges and promotes all oratorical and debating activities; the Cadet Major of the R.O.T.C.; the editor of the Colonial Ga- ;ette, weekly newspaper; the Commissioner of Clubs; the School Historian, who keeps a record of all important school happenings; and the Commissioner of Safety’, official inspector and supervisor of fire drills and other safety’ precautions. The Fairfax football squad opened its 1952 practice schedule on September 25, when it scored an unimpressive victory over Redondo High School, winning 12-0. The game was played on Van Cleve field in preparation for the big practice game with Hollywood High, before opening the City League season on October 7 against Los Angeles High School. Coach Shatfer's charges received the kick'off in the first quarter and in a steady drive carried the ball down to Redondo's one yard line where Jimmy Granhcry took the hall over the goal line for the first touchdown. Vin Musso accounted for the second and final score in the fourth period on a twelve yard run. Charles Smousc and Stanley Weiss were selected as assistant yell leaders at a student talent assembly on September 27. Musical selections, readings, and dances were included on the program. The question, who is King of Hollywood” in football was settled on September 50, at least until the 1955 football season rolls around, when the Holly’wood Red- shirts engaged the Fairfax Colonials in their last practice games of the year on Van Cleve field, to settle both the above question and their 1951 6-6 tic. Hollywood proved to be the superior team, winning 7-0. Both teams played on even terms dur- [12] Office Staff ing the first quarter, but in the second period Hollywood took command, shoving over its touchdown and converting. From this point on, the game was all Hollywood, ex- cept for a few moments when Fairfax worked the ball down near the Redshirts goal only to have its passes intercepted. Though the Board of Education was unable to supply funds for new books dur- ing the past year, the library, under the supervision of Miss Helen Estill and Miss Helen Mason, was active as usual in furthering the educational, cultural, and recrea- tional interests of Colonials. Every week an exhibit was held in the library show' cases. The hobbies and collections of students and faculty were displayed, with stamps, coins, arts and crafts, scrapbooks, rare and old books, photographs, valuable clippings, and signatures of famous authors among the great variety of interesting things on exhibition. A small book fund has been established so that the reading facilities of the library may be enlarged next semester. Many changes will be necessitated in the library when the new class schedule is inaugurated. Since the periods will be in- creased in length and accordingly decreased in number, groups of students, together with their regular teachers, will study in the library, while some reference work will be done in the classes. The shops, with lumber furnished by the student body, w'ill construct trays to carry books to and from classrooms. This rearrangement will also affect the students who serve as library helpers. They will probably be fewer in number and their work will be along more technical lines. Colonials who plan to be librarians will find this experience very valuable. in ii IE The Art department with Mr. Wil- liam Paxton as chairman, revised its courses for the purpose of making them more interesting to students. Pupils now have a choice of taking Art Apprecia- tion, Art History, Commercial Art, or Art Crafts. The great interest displayed in these classes is shown by the fact that most of them are overcrowded. However, the faculty, comprising Mr. William Pax- ton, Miss Margaret Donaldson, Miss Flora Alford, Mrs. Marie Odgard, and Mr. Adrian Kurvers, have taken on ex- tra classes in order to meet this difficulty. An amusing activity conducted by the members of the art classes is the sign com- panies. Groups of students have formed small clubs and advertise important events with their clever and attractive signs. The most successful of these organizations has been the “Slurp Sine Company , and the “Too Neet Sine Co . To promote a better feeling of sportsmanship and to give boys health- ful outdoor exercise every day is the ultimate aim of the Boys' Physical Edu- cation department. Football, track, bas- ketball, baseball, tennis, and acrobatics offer students a wide choice of sports. The letter system, based upon ability and achievement, is the chief way of re- warding boys who participate in com- petitive athletics. The coaches, Frank Shaffer, Hugh Welch, Ross Bowen, Keith Lloyd, Clarence Reed, and Ray Call encourage all Colonials to come out for the various sports and join as many teams as possible. Students as well as graduates who have proven their ability are allowed to act as assistant coaches. League games, track meets, and state-wide demonstrations are events eagerly awaited by the participants, as well as the fans. Divisions of study which have a marked influence on the business careers of many students are those offered by the Commercial department. Instruction is given in Salesmanship, Advertising, Bus- iness Law, Transcription Typewriting, Economic Geography, Shorthand, and Merchandising. All are very practical subjects and are popular with the Co- lonials taking general academic courses, as well as with those who specialize in business. Mr. Orlo Backer is the head of the Commercial department. The other fac- ulty members are Miss Alice Colville, Mrs. D-lia Davenport, Mr. Herman Joy, Mrs. Elizabeth Keyes, Miss Laura Ran- dall, and Mrs. Floy Bower. Bovs' Physical Education Department Art Department [ 14] Commercial Department The English department with Mr. Homer Goddard as its head offers prac- tical and artistic training. Courses in Grammar, Composition, Literature, Cre- ative Writing, Drama, Journalism, and Public Speaking are included in the curriculum of this department and sat- isfy the varying interests of the entire student body. The members of the faculty, Miss LeOra Baxter, Mrs. Phyllis Davis, Miss Sallie Pritchartt, Mrs. Antoinette Mor- rison, Miss Charlotte Mills, Miss Sara Heath, Miss Esther Halgren, Miss Araxie Jamgochian, Miss Jessie Lickel, Miss Edina Newby, Mrs. Kathryn Ray, Mrs. Jessie Stromberger, Mr. George Garton, and Mr. Homer Goddard, are active in sponsoring school clubs and periodicals. Mrs. Davis is the faculty adviser of the Promethean Society Mr. Goddard sponsors the English Department Literary Lions, Mrs. Stromberger directs dramatics. and Miss Jamgochian The Foreidi Language department, headed by Mm Henrietta Way, reports a larg r nfollment than ever before. Third and fourth year classes of Ger- man, Spanish, French, and Latin have been organized to meet the demands of the linguists. The eight faculty members of this department. Miss Henrietta Way, Miss Adelaide Hard, Mrs. Gladys Henry, Miss Nannette Aiken, Miss Florence Ringle, Miss Margaret Roalfe, Miss Theresa Reeve, and Miss Edith James, have all traveled extensively and have become acquainted with the habits, cus- toms, and mannerisms of the foreign peoples. The Girls Gym department offers instruction in all the seasonal sports: speedball, hockey, baseball, basketball, volleyball, and tennis. Under the head supervison of Mrs. Betsy Fricke, classes in calisthenics, corrective nutrition, archery, tap and natural dancing, and hygiene have also been organized. Foreign Language Department The Girls' Athletic Association, which offers an added recreational per- iod, is also under the sponsorship of the Girls' Gym department. This organiza- tion is in charge of all interclass and in- terschool competition. The G.A.A. was host to girls from neighboring schools at a play day on May third. Faculty members of this department include besides Mrs. Fricke, Miss Helen Greening, Mrs. Margaret Craig, Mrs. Lauralee Delaney, Mrs. Fern Whiting, Miss Marian Sweetser, and Miss Gwen- dolyn Corson. Girls' Physical Education Department 1 1 1 iriHiE Home Economics Department Beulah Scheck, Miss Nellie Eberts, Mrs. Ire Lucy Woolery, and Mrs. Lillian McDonald. Because of the practicability of the subjects offered, the Home Economics department boasts a very large enroll' ment. Although a year of household arts is required of all Fairfax girls, many take additional courses. Several classes are also open to boys. The variety of subjects offered by this department is shown by the following list: Cooking, sewing, millinery, dietetics, household management, first aid, social arts, home nursing and camp cookery. Miss Jean McCulloch heads the Home Economics department, assisted by Mrs. Marguerite Behrman, Miss le Partridge, Miss May McKinley, Miss The chief purpose of the mathematics department is to increase the reasoning power of the students and to give them a sound training for future business endeav- ors. The faculty headed by Mrs. Flora Dunn, includes Miss Deborah Walsh, Miss Maude Marks, Miss Lillian Thie- len. Miss Florence Bowes, and Miss Emma Brown. Instruction is given in General Mathematics, Algebra, Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry, and Trigonometry. The importance of Elementary Algebra and Plane Geometry as a foundation for cer- tain courses at the State Universities is the reason these two subjects are com- pulsory for students preparing for col- lege entrance. However, many of these Colonials take additional mathematics and a large number of pupils taking general academic courses are enrolled in this de- partment for more than the required amount of time. Mathematics Department Under the chief supervision of Mr. Leroy Brown, the Mechanic Arts depart- ment has succeeded in turning out every type of practical workmanship. The Colo- nial Gazette, weekly newspaper, is printed by the Fairfax printshop classes instructed by Mr. Halmar Gustaveson. Auto Mechanics, chosen by many boys, is taught by Mr. Paul Bultmann. The instructor in Mechanical and Architec- tural Drawing is Mr. Guy Lee. Electri- cal wirings and appliances are super- vised by Mr. G. A. Carvili, while the classes in Woodshop and Stage Craft are conducted by Mr. Brown. Although only one unit of these practical arts is required, the large en- rollment in the various shops is proof of the interest of Fairfax boys in such subjects. t 16] Mechanic Arts Department t The activities of the Music depart' ment are representative of what well or- ganized departments and conscientious students can do. Every special occasion brings forth musical entertainment of a very high degree. The annual Christmas and May programs feature the com- bined boys’ and girls’ glee clubs accom- panied by orchestra and band. The music course of Fairfax offers a variety of subjects. Orchestral instruc- tion is given by Mr. Thomas Rice; Chor- us and Music Appreciation are super- vised by Mrs. Floy Bower; Piano Har- mony and Senior Chorus are taught by Mrs. Florence Horton. Miss Allene Bixler teaches the History of Music, the Boys’ Glee club and choruses, while Miss Sallie Mason, head of the department, w'orks with the Girls' Glee club, Girls’ Chorus and Mixed Chorus. The Science department, headed by Mr. Lisle Smith, offers instruction in Horti- culture, Landscaping, General Science, Biology, Physiology, Chemistry, and Physics. A new laboratory course in Landscaping was offered this semester which satisfies the laboratory science graduation requirement and also gives the students who wish to specialize in this subject a better background in their chosen field. An event of particular interest to this department is the annual chemistry contest sponsored by the Southern Cali- fornia Section of the American Chemi- cal Society. Colonials who have entered this contest upheld the standards of the school in a creditable manner. Fred Weiss won the contest for 1933. Science Department Mr. Lawrence Chandler, Mr. Benjamin Cornell, Mr. Donald Gray, Miss Jessie Grieve, Mrs. Beatrice Meyer, Mrs. Doris Siddall, Mr. John Sitler, Mrs. Jean Sloat, Mr. Walter Koenig, Mr. William Wilson, and Mr. Smith, make up the personnel of the Science Department. The Social Science department headed by Miss Emma Wood is one of the most important at Fairfax. Because of present day world conditions, pupils wish to know more about national affairs and relation- ships. This accounts for the increasing interest in civics, social problems, Pan- Pacific, and International Relati o n s classes. Ancient, world, United States, and California history are given as back- ground for the more modern subjects. Miss Wood, Miss Hazelle Martin, Miss Elizabeth Summerhays, Miss Martha Shulhof, Miss Harriet Sloan, Miss Na- dine Steininger, Mrs. Emily Thompson, Mrs. Gladys White, and Mr. Harry Underwood are responsible for the active interest in Social Science. cm , Science Department I [ 17] 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.

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.

[21] in hie Fairfax played on even terms with Lincoln in the opening half, and then after giving all they had during the first two quarters, folded up, permitting the Tigers to shove over four touchdowns and two conversions in the second half. Captain Walt Elliot played a brilliant game for Fairfax. Battling to stay in the race for the championship, the Class C team received a jolt on October 20, when Franklin held the little Colonials on Van Cleve field to a scoreless tie. Both teams missed numerous chances to score. Franklin had the ball on Fairfax's one foot line as the game ended. Almost, but not quite, was the case as Fairfax lost its third game of the year, dropping a 6-0 decision to Manual Arts on the Toilers' field on October 21. Fairfax played a great game, although outweighed and outclassed, and held its own through- out the contest, except for a brief pause in the second quarter, when Manual shoved over its score. Penalties hurt the scoring chances of the Colonials. The excellent punting by Bud Anderson, and the brilliant line play by Bob Reed, were outstanding. Time after time Anderson punted his team out of danger, and kept the Toilers in hot water throughout tht game with his lengthy punts. One of his kicks was good for 70 yards, another for 80. � i Fairfax puts up a stubborn defense against the Romans [ 22] iriuic Thanksgiving contributions to Hammcl Street School being loaded by Girls' League Officers. A well executed pass from Manual's five yard line to its twenty'five yard mark' er and a seventy five yard run by the receiver, all in the last minute of play, enabled the Toilers to defeat the Fairfax lightweights, 6 0, on Van Cleve field on the same day. Up to the moment of the fatal pass, Fairfax had held its own with the Toiler team, and it looked as if the contest would end in a tie. The Colonials missed nunv erous chances to score, having the ball inside of Manual's twenty'five yard line time after time, but lacked the power to shove over scores. Rufus Willard and Bill Pick' ens were outstanding for Fairfax. No matter how busy Colonials are, time is always found for those less fortunate. October 24, was the starting day of the Community Chest drive, which had for its slogan, “A Year for Sacrifice. Student speakers, under the direction of Miss Araxie Jamgochian, visited grammar and junior high schools and urged the pupils to listen to the needy call.

Miss Lucy Woolery of the Home Economics department was in charge of the campaign at Fairfax. In order to aid the girls in the choice of their vocations and to acquaint them with conditions in the business and professional world, the Alphas, under the direc' tion of Vice principal Mildred Brown, sponsored a series of vocational guidance talks, one of which was presented on Tuesday, October 25. Women representing various fields of endeavor addressed groups of girls and discussed the important phases of their work, using personal experiences by way of example. After the talks, open forums were held enabling the speakers to answer the girls' questions directly. This was one of the most important activities of the Alphas during the fall semester.

Alpha society, honorary service organization, is composed of a group of representa- tive girls, chosen on the basis of character, scholarship, personality, and achievement. Promoting friendliness and good feeling between the students is another very important problem that is satisfactorily dealt with by the Alpha society. The intro- duction of “Howdy Day two years ago was one way of overcoming the strange feeling usually experienced by new-comers. Each student was supplied with a small tag upon which his name was written.' The object of Howdy Day is to do away with conventional introductions and to secure, a more friendly atmosphere. In order to further the feeling of enthusiasm, the ’first person to say “Howdy to one of a group of four students chosen for this .purpose, received a box of candy. October 26 was the day on which “Howdy addicts reigned supreme. A dance, sponsored by the Girls’ League, and the announcement of the contest winners, completed this sociable all day event.

Although receiving its first league defeat of the season on October 26 by losing to Belmont High School, 12-0, on Van Cleve field, the class C team found itself still in the battle for the pennant. If the Colonials defeated Poly and Manual in their final two games of the year, they would at least tie for first place. The next day the Fairfax lightweights upset the old dope bucket by holding the powerful Fremont eleven to a scoreless tie on Van Cleve field. The Pathfinders had the ball in Fairfax territory for practically the entire game, but were unable to score when near the Colonials' goal line, due to the brilliant defense put up by Fairfax's forward line. The backfield also played a great game on defense, backing up the line in good fashion. Bill Pickens, Kenny Hill and Barrett Scallet were outstanding for Fairfax. Fairfax continued to drop deeper into the City League cellar, losing a 24-7 tussle with Fremont on the Pathfinder's field on October 28. Fumbles paved the way for Fremont to make its first two scores in the early stages of the contest. The Colonials were unable to overcome the handicap and the Pathfinders proceeded to add touchdowns in both the second and fourth quarters. The Colonials scored their first points of the league season in the final minute of play when Neil Rasmussen intercepted a lateral pass and galloped eighty yards to a touchdown. Austin Nein- hauser kicked the conversion. Bob Reed and Ted Hodgett were outstanding for Fair- fax. The Fairfax cross country team opened its season on November 2 with a 30-20 win over Hollywood High on the freshman course at Westwood. The Colonials placed six men out of a possible ten. Charles Ritchey and Masaaki Watanabe fin- ished one, two. Seymour Kraus, Deail Riggins, Jim Cook and Ivan Earle scored the other points. Meanwhile the Fairfax midgets overcame the first of their two obstacles in the path to the championship by defeating Poly, 6-0, on the latter's field. Outplayed during the first half, Fairfax came back strong in the second half and made a touch- down in the last quarter on a reverse lateral pass from Jimmy Jack to Coghlan. After the Community Chest drive was over, the charitable inclinations of the Fairfax Student Body were focused on its adopted school, Hammel Street. Colonial philanthropy is sponsored chiefly by the Girls' League representatives. One of their important money raising activities during the fall semester was the assembly on No- vember third. Fairfax students enjoyed a most interesting show in which the small Hammel Street school children participated. Singing, dancing, and specialty num- bers, including selections played by the kindergarten band, were features of the novel program. Avenging its previous 9-0 defeat received from Hollywood earlier in the season, the Fairfax lightweight football team defeated Hollywood, 6-0, on Van Cleve field. [26] The pass went to the other end and the photographer missed the signal but got his picture, although Lorch missed the ball! November fourth. Dell Ashkar scored for Fairfax in the second quarter, Kenny Hill, Bill Richards and Henry Golong stood out for Fairfax. On November ninth, the class of S'33 officially began the traditional rivalry be- tween the two senior divisions with the presentation of the Senior B film, “The Spirit of Notre Dame . The class, headed by Ed Barsumian, president; Dick Haysel, vice- president; Jane Matthews, secretary; and Bob Mullenbach, treasurer, publicly dis- played its chosen colors, white and brown, for the first time. That was a day of triumph for the Senior B's, but for the members of the Class C football team, it was the day on which their championship hopes went glimmering. Although they outplayed Manual during the entire game, Manual recovered a fumble on the three-yard line, shoved over a touchdown and converted, winning the game and the championship. The game was played at Fairfax and concluded the season for the little Colonials, who won two games, lost two and tied one. A touchdown by Ashkar in the second quarter enabled the Fairfax lightweights to nose out Garfield, 6-2, on the Bulldogs' field, November tenth. Due to fumbles and penalties, the Colonials missed numerous chances to shove over touchdowns. Time after time Fairfax worked the ball down to Garfield's ten yard line only to be pen- alized or to lose the ball on a fumble. Fairfax played a brilliant defensive game, not permitting Garfield to make a single first down, or complete a pass, and kept the Bulldogs out of its territory except in the final period when they scored a safety. This was made when Dan Miller’s pass from center soared over Barrett Scallett s head as the latter was behind the goal line in punt formation. While the B team opposed Garfield on the latter's field, the Colonial Class A team met the Garfield heavyweights on Van Cleve field and exhibited the brand of ball of which it was capable. Fairfax won its first game of the season by defeating the Bulldogs 6-0. Fairfax had the upper hand throughout the contest, holding the heavy Bulldog eleven to four first downs, while making eight, and also bottling up their passing attack and keeping the Bulldogs outside of the Colonials' thirty-yard line during the entire game, johnny Swartzbaker scored for Fairfax in the third period on a 45 yard run, and Vin Musso also scored a few minutes later, only to have the touch- down ruled off because of a penalty. The line work of Ed Barsumian, Bob Reed and Captain “Red” Elliott was outstanding for Fairfax. Closing its season on November seventeenth in a tie for sixth place in the City League standings, the Fairfax Babes battled to a scoreless tie with Belmont on Van Cleve field. The Babes won two, lost two, and tied two games. The Colonial mid- gets faced the strongest forward line they had met all season and the boys were held at bay throughout the contest. The major part of the game found Belmont in Fairfax's territory, and time after time the Colonials were forced to punt out of dan- [27] iriHIC 1hB3l3ls t)DDILiDIHIIAIL Debators and Orators Left to tiii ht: Barbara Hirschfrlil, Martin Covel.

Twice in the closing minutes of the game Belmont had the ball on the Fairfax 10 yard line, but on each occasion the Colonials held for downs. Richards and Pick- ens were outstanding for Fairfax. An event eagerly anticipated by many pupils of Fairfax interested in public speaking is the oratorical contest held annually by the Herald-Express. The prelim- inaries of the Tenth Annual Extemporaneous Contest were held last year at Poly- technic High, December second, after the final tryouts for Fairfax contestants on November seventeenth. Preliminary participants of Fairfax were: Gilbert Harri- son, Martin Covel, Jack Allen, John Fisher, Eugene Bloodgood, and Billie Fiske. First place in the school finals was won by Gilbert Harrison whose assigned topic was “A Citizen's Observation of Laws of Which He Does Not Approve. Martin Covel, who placed second, spoke on “Freedom and Responsibility versus License and Individualism.” Among the important dates to be remembered in Fairfax history is that of No- [28] Mr. Van Cleve addressing the Student Body at the dedica- tion of the new bleachers. Student Body in New Bleachers on Day of Dedication vember eighteenth. On this day the new concrete bleachers and armory built on Van Cleve field were formally dedicated and accepted by the chairman of the building com- mittee, Mrs. Carrie Bryant, in behalf of the Board of Education. Not only does this recent acquisition increase the beauty of the school, but it has acted as an outstand- ing factor in the establishment of better school spirit. In honor of the occasion, the Fairfax R.O.T.C. unit, in command of Jack Wright, Cadet Major, and the band, under the leadership of Charles Smouse, pre- sented interesting exhibition drills. Still proving a stumbling block for Fairfax football teams, Belmont defeated the Colonials, 6-0, on the Hilltoppers’ field on November eighteenth. The two schools The defenders of the colors have at last acquired a com- modious home under the neu) bleachers. [29] A Basketball Rack Rote; Left to Riyht: Coach Ross Bowen, Bud Williams.

Although the Colonials made more first downs than Belmont, (seven to five), the Hilltoppers had the Fairfax scoring attack stopped dead, not permitting the Colonials to get within their 30 yard line. Outside of the moment when Belmont scored its touchdown in the second quarter, Fairfax prevented the Hilltoppers from crossing its 30 yard line. The game marked the finish of the high school football careers of Swartzbaker, Barsumian, Bliss, Captain Red Elliott, Foley, Neinhauser, Mauck, McGowan, Cave, Reed, Spear, Scott and Van Enger. As is customary at Fairfax, each homeroom filled at least one basket with staples and fresh fruits and vegetables which was sent, together with money for roast and butter, to a needy family in the Hammel Street school district on November twenty- fourth for Thanksgiving. Colonials were given two days in addition to the regular week-end vacation in which to celebrate this holiday. With Masaaki Watanabe placing third for Fairfax on November thirtieth, the Colonial cross-country team dropped a one-sided meet to Manual Arts by the score of 53-18 on the U.C.L.A. freshman course. Falling behind after taking the lead in the opening quarter, the Fairfax Class C basketball team dropped its opening game of the season on December first to Poly, 28-18, on the Colonials' court. Kenny Francis captured high point honors for Fair- fax with six points. Lacking experience which proved costly, the Colonial lightweight cassaba squad lost its initial game of the season on December second to Poly, 29-20, on the win- ners' floor. Merrit Marcer proved the spark in the losers’ scoring attack, ringing up seven points to take high point honors for his team. On the same day the Fairfax Class A basketball team defeated the strong Poly team, 27-22, on the losers' court by scoring thirteen points in the second quarter after trailing six to three in the opening period. Fairfax led at the end of the half, 16-8. [ 30] The second quarter rally found Ronald Markman, Bud Williams, Kelly Huston and Capt. Les Watson shooting baskets from all angles of the court. Watson, Markman and Williams tied for high point honors for Fairfax with six points apiece. This game was considered the hardest on the Colonials’ schedule. December eighth was the big day for the class of W'33. On that morning the Senior A s presented their much advertised Color Day before a large audience of Colonials in preparation for the big performance of the next evening. About two hundred students appeared in their sweaters in two shades of blue. With a blare of trumpets The Royal Blues began. The show, a musical adventure in a mythical kingdom of blues, offered both classical and modern selections. An entirely original idea, dazzling costumes, a regal setting, clever song and dance numbers, and delight- full humor made this color Day one of the most enjoyable ever presented at Fairfax. That afternoon, the Fairfax cross country team brought its season to a close, by placing last in the annual City League cross-country meet, held on the U.C.L.A. freshman course. Despite the finishing of the team, Masaaki Watanabe, Deail Rig- gins and Charles Ritchey turned in brilliant pieces of running. A foul shot in the last five seconds of play enabled the Lincoln C basketball team to nose out Fairfax, 12-11, on the former's floor. Fairfax held a 6-0 lead at the end of the half, but lost it in the third quarter when the Tigers scored six points. Trailing sixteen to four at the end of the half, the Colonial B casaba team dropped its second game of the year on the succeeding day, by losing to Franklin, 34-11, on the losers' court. The Colonials were unable to locate the basket due to weak passing, shooting and defense, and lack of team-work. Mel Mark and “Whitey” Hetherly were the only players for Fairfax who were able to find the basket with any regularity. Both entered the contest late in the final quarter, and together scored seven points. With Kelly Huston leading the attack, the Fairfax A casaba squad trounced B Basketball Back Row: Boh Mueller.

Fairfax swung into an early lead in the opening quarter, leading 17-3 at the end of the period, and 30-9 at the finish of the half. Although he did not play during the second half, Huston was high point man with six field goals and two foul shots, fourteen points in all. Ronald Markman proved a demon on defense for the Colonials, breaking up play after play and scoring seven points. Under the sponsorship of the Hi-Y, the annual Football-Basketball banquet was held in the school cafeteria on December twelfth. Homer Griffith and Aaron Rosen- berg, former Colonial football players, and Ted Lemcke, captain of the U.C.L.A. basketball team, were guest speakers. Harvey Mauck acted as master of ceremonies, while Leslie Watson and Walter Elliot, captains of the basketball and football teams, respectively, were chairmen of the two divisions of the banquet. Roger Morgan and Elwin Dadisman presented a skit and the coaches gave brief addresses. As is the custom, the graduating lettermen members of the “A football team elected a cap- tain to lead the 1933 squad. Charles Lorch, two year letterman end, received the honor. As the holiday season drew near, clubs and organizations at Fairfax began in- tensive charity work for their adopted ’ school, Hammel Street. The first event of this philanthropic program was orange day sponsored by the Hi-Y on December thirteenth. Every Colonial was requested to bring at least one orange for the Christ- mas bags sent to the little children of Hammel every year. The next day was Apple Day. Under the combined supervision of The Alpha Society and Girls’ League, sev- eral thousand apples were collected. An apple a day keeps bad luck away, at least Student Coach Sherman Orinstein thought so when the Class C hoopsters broke into the win column and nosed out Roosevelt 21-20, on December fourteenth. The game which took place on the win- ners’ court was hard fought with Fairfax holding a slight edge. “Lefty Francis, Colonial forward, was high point man with nine points. December fourteenth, the Hi-Y presented a mammoth benefit show, the proceeds of which were used to buy shoes for the Hammel wards. The most talented alumni entertained. In addition, a hilarious fashion show was presented by the athletic Hi-Y boys who paraded in the latest of feminine attire.

Winning its 23rd consecutive game of the season and its third straight league game, Coach Ross Bowen's Class A basketball team defeated Roosevelt, 31-27, on the Roughriders' court on December fifteenth. The victory enabled the Colonials to move into undisputed possession of first place in the City League. Roosevelt led in the opening quarter before the Colonials came to life. The latter then proceeded to cut down the lead and forged into the front at the end of the half with the score, 14-12, in their favor. Roosevelt put on a last quarter rally, but three long field goals by Bud Williams killed the Roughriders' hopes of victory. Capt. “Slim Watson was high point man with nine points, followed by Williams with seven. That afternoon, the Fairfax Class B basketball team dropped a heart breaking, 18-16, contest to Roosevelt on the latter's floor, thereby losing its third straight game of the season. Fairfax was ahead with a 7-1 lead in the first quarter, but the Rough- riders took the lead in the second period. Later in the game, Colonials tied the score several times, but were defeated when Roosevelt sank the winning basket in the final seconds of play.

On the same day the Colonial C casaba squad was credited with its second win of the year when Poly was forced to forfeit its previous 28'18 victory over the Colonials, because of an ineligible player. On December sixteenth, the day before Christmas vacation began, a truck load containing bundles of canned goods, shoes, clothing, toys, a sewing machine and a Christmas tree were sent to Hammel Street school by the Fairfax student body. Santa Claus in the person of Harvey Mauck, Lord High Commissioner, accompanied by members of the Girls' League cabinet, visited the school and distributed 1,700 Christmas bags, each containing fruit, nuts, candy, and a dressed doll or an airplane. All the dolls had been entered in the annual doll show which was held in the Fair' fax rotunda. Prizes were given for the most beautifully dressed doll, the most origin' ally garbed, the best dressed doll in foreign costume, and the best dressed doll entered by a boy. The clothes were collected by the Girls' League which had sponsored an old clothes drive since Thanksgiving time. The garments were mended or remodelled by the sewing classes at Fairfax. The officers of the Girls' Friendship club and faculty sponsor, Mrs. Jean Sloat, took dolls, scrapbooks, and filled bags to the children at the Orthopedic hospital. The German Club carried out its motto of “New Language, New Friends, by celebrating the anniversaries of well known authors and composers and presenting several German plays. The presentation of popular German musical selections by Frederic Bittke, a prominent radio artist, was one of the outstanding features of the year.

As the gift of the S'32 graduating class, a third unit of the Senior gardens was started during the Christmas vacation. This section, which is octagonal in shape, was constructed under the supervision of Mr. W. J. Koenig. The Fairfax Hi'Y is part of a nation wide boys' organization working under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association. In order to produce the better ment of Christian character among high school boys and develop an interest in char' ity work, these clubs have been active in many American schools. Coach Frank Shaffer is sponsor of the Fairfax group. The club has presented several shows, in which the boys impersonated girls, and has also had a week set aside as Hi Y Shoe Shine week.

[47] The traditional Senior A-Senior B sack rush was held on January sixth on Van Cleve field with the student body in the reviewing stands. The Senior A s won by the decisive score of 27-18. The S'33 class put up a fierce struggle and succeeded in piling up nine sacks to the Senior AY sixteen, only to have three of them dis- qualified. This gave the Class of W'33 a large majority at the end of the first half. The contest was more even in the second half. The S'33 Class captured only one more sack than its opponents, making the score 12-11 in favor of the Senior B s. On January twelfth, the Fairfax Class C casaba team played itself out of the City League championship by dropping a 22-14 decision to Jefferson on the latter s court. Jack Reusche of Fairfax was high point man with six points. In a loosely played game, the Fairfax Class B cagers dropped their fourth straight league game, losing to Jefferson, 30-21, on the Colonials' court. Lefty Maxim, along with “Gid ' Kelley, was outstanding for Fairfax. Maxim captured high scor- ing honors for his team with ten points. Friday, the thirteenth, may have been a dark day for some, but it brought noth- ing but good luck to Colonials. Before a capacity crowd of 800 students, the Fairfax A basketball team kept its lead in the City League intact by trouncing Jefferson, 27-11, on the winners' floor. The Colonials' attack did not get under way until the second half when they piled up eighteen points to the Democrats' six. Fairfax led at the half, 9-5. The last half rally featured the playing of Les Slim Watson, Kelly Huston, and Bud Williams, with the trio hitting the basket with deadly accuracy. Watson was high point man of the game with nine points, followed by Jack Sander- son and Huston, with seven points apiece. According to the school constitution, nominations for office holders for the succeeding term shall be made three weeks before the close of the semester. On January seventeenth an assembly was held for that purpose. More Colonials ran for positions in student government body than ever before. Elections took place in homeroom during the remainder of the week. This week also marked the beginning of final examinations. After a long period of coaching under the direction of Miss Araxie Jamgoch- ian, a voice choir composed of members of the B drama classes presented a unique program at a double assembly on January nineteenth. The boys and girls were divid- ed according to the pitch of their voices into four different groups. “Boots by Rud- yard Kipling, a poem by Don Blanding, and Vachel Lindsay's “The Congo” were the selections adapted for this program. Another feature of the assembly was an amusing one act play, On The Lot,” with Ruby Jo Savage, James Smith, and Mar- tin Covel as the three moving picture characters. Student Coach Sherman Orinstein's midget casaba team, led by Captain Pierre Provost and Bob Van Duesen, who scored twelve and eight points, respectively, trounced Hollywood, 24-6. Although putting up a stiff battle on January twentieth, the Fairfax lightweight basketball team suffered a 39-13 loss at the hands of Hollywood on the Redshirts' floor. Hollywood led at half time, 21-0. Fairfax came back in the second half to hold the Sheiks on nearly even terms, scoring thirteen points to nineteen for Hollywood Roy Hoffman, lanky center, and Bill Hedderly, scrappy forward, stood out for the Colonials, the latter scoring five points. Grabbing an early lead in the opening quarter and adding to it as the game progressed. Coach Bowen's Class A basketball five swamped Hollywood, 33-11, on the losers' floor before 1000 fans.

It was also the worst defeat ever suffered by a Redshirt team. Hollywood was the first to score, but Kelly Huston, Jack Sanderson, Les Wat- son and Bud Williams quickly swept into action and sank six field goals and two foul shots to give the Colonials a 14-5 lead at the end of the half. Huston took high point honors with twelve points, followed by Watson, Sanderson and Williams with eight, six and five points, respectively. The game gave Fairfax its fifth straight victory of the season, and also enabled the Colonials to take the lead in the City League for the best offensive record. Fair- fax trailed Roosevelt for the best defensive record. Gold, silver, and bronze medals are awards presented to the fifteen members of the Boys’ Rifle Club for their rating in target shooting. Those making ninety per cent or above receive gold medals; eighty to ninety per cent, silver medals; and be- tween seventy and eighty per cent, bronze medals. Sergeant Virgil Pyland, sponsor of this club and head of the R.O.T.C., coached the boys for the matches. Ending its season on January twenty-fifth, with four wins and two defeats, the Colonial C casaba team trounced Belmont, 26-12, on the losers' court. Pierre Provost, Fairfax captain, was high point man with eight points. Although the Colonial lightweight basketball team dropped its sixth game of the season on January twenty-seventh by losing to Belmont, 35-20, on the Fairfax floor, the Colonial Bees gave notice that they will be well represented on next sea- son's Class A squad. Bill Hcdderly, Roy Hoffman, John Carper, Wilfred Kelley, Merritt Marer, Wes Cameron, “Lefty” Maxim, John Van Duesen, Dick Platt, Emanuel Kinney, Len Mark, Louis Brown, Louis Taylor and Mel Morse will all seek positions on the heavyweight team. [ 50] The Gym Club which fur- uished thrills at several Stu- dent 'Talent Assemblies. Finishing the season as the only undefeated team in the City League, the Fair- fax A basketball team defeated Belmont High, 35-28, on the Colonials' gym. Gail Goodrich, substitute forward, and Captain “Slim Watson rung up twenty-seven of the Colonials' points. Although Belmont scored more points against the new City League champs, than did any other team during the entire season, Fairfax romped home to an easy victory. Fairfax led at half time, 23-10. The game marked the close of the high school basketball careers of Watson, Bud Williams, Jack Sanderson, Ronald Markman, Morris Harris, and Charles Lowe. Players returning next year will include lettermen Kelly Huston and Gail Goodrich, Bill Pippin, Paul Greenlee and Dan Carasso. The championship Colonial basketball team received a severe shock when it was found that Jack Sanderson, forward, had been ineligible, since playing on a De Molay team during the Christmas holidays. This discovery caused Fairfax to for- feit all of its games, except the one with Poly, throwing the latter school and Hol- lywood into a tie for place in the League standings. A short time afterward, it was disclosed that Morris Harris, who had seen action in the Poly game, was ineligible because of too many semesters. This gave Polytechnic the undisputed championship. [ 51 ] [52] On January twenty-seventh, Mrs. Irene Kuhn, foreign correspondent who is considered the finest newspaper woman in the world, was guest speaker at the Thirty luncheon. This affair is given every semester in honor of the graduating students of journalism. The program was in cabaret style and included song and dance numbers by Fairfax pupils. A placque containing the names of the outgoing students was presented to Mrs. Jessie Stromberger, journalism instructor. The award assembly, held at the end of every semester in honor of students who had been prominent in athletic, scholastic and other school activities, took place on February third. At that time letters were presented by Principal R. G. Van Cleve to the qualifying members of the boys' and girls' sports teams. Mr. Goddard, found- er of the Promethean Society, gave out the pins to those students who had fulfilled the requirements of at least three A's and one B. Certificates in recognition of work done during the term were presented to the Knights, Alphas, and to the outgoing Colonial Council. The new members of the Boys' and Girls' Honorary service or- ganization and the student government officers for the spring semester were then in- troduced. Edward Barsumian, the newly-elected Lord High Commissioner, took the oath of office from Harvey Mauck, past president, who said a few words in farewell. The entire assembly passed to homeroom where report cards were given out and plans for new classes were made. February second, the day of graduation for the class of W'33! The exercises held in the school auditorium at 8:00 P. M. culminated the educational careers of a large number of students and meant the loss of many who had brought fame and honor to Fairfax. The affair was a colorful one with the girls attired in pastel colored semi-formal gowns and the boys in contrasting dark suits. Musical selections by the school or- chestra and glee clubs and a piano solo were given. The commencement speak- ers were Cerna Dalgas whose subject was “Rich Leisure”; Robert Brown who spoke on “Creative Youth , and Gilbert Harrison whose topic was The New Fron- tier . Following these speeches, Robert Schroeder, president, announced the class gift of oil paintings for the auditorium and two show cases for displays, in the ro- tunda. Principal R. G. Van Cleve presented the class to Mr. Burt Warren Reed, assistant superintendent of Los Angeles City Schools, who awarded the diplomas.

Vice-President Zucker, Charles SPRING SEMESTER SPRING SEMESTER A .iXFTER a week-end vacation, students returned to school on February sixth, to start the work of the spring semester. The traditional rivalry between the two upper classes immediately commenced. The S'33 class, numbering two hundred and sixty- five members, had a slight advantage over the W'?4 class whose total enrollment was two hundred and forty-nine. In all, two thousand three hundred and ninety-two stu- dents, sixty more than last term, were registered at Fairfax. The sophomore class led the school with an enrollment of eight hundred and sixty-four. The juniors were second with seven hundred and forty-three, while the senior class numbered five hundred and fourteen. The ninth grades totaled two hundred and forty-one, in ad- dition to thirty special program students. The first week of the spring semester was mainly given over to registration in classes. The new Colonial Council met and commenced discussion of school problems and administration of school business. Other important organizations met following the election of homeroom officers. The presidents gathered to plan topics for the classroom forums held every other Wednesday and to formulate plans for a ‘Buy Fairfax campaign. Miss Wood and Mr. Paxton, faculty sponsors of the girls and boys' self-government bodies, together with Dorothy Dowds and Martin Covel, student heads, chose groups of Colonials from which Assize Court representatives were elected. After these class polls, the new members met to select officers, commissioners, and jurymen. The newly elected Girls' League rep- resentatives also convened with their president, Andree Wagner, and her cabinet, and immediately began their charity work for the semester. On February fourteenth, it was announced that three Fairfax players were placed on the official ALL-CITY basketball team picked by the Los Angeles Times. Kelly Huston, forward; Les Watson, center; and Bud Williams, guard were the three Colonial players selected. The entire first team was given recognition.

Mr. Goddard, founder of the organization which now has Mrs. Davis for sponsor, addressed the Prometheans on “The Advantages of Intellect”. Plans were made to have guest speakers at every meeting. Among those who have thus far spoken before the society are Professor Harvey Eby of the University of California at Los Angeles, whose topic was “Service” and Dr. Charles Frederick Lindsley, who gave selected readings. A half holiday was given the entire student body, Friday, February seven- teenth, enabling all Colonials to visit the United States frigate, “Constitution”, docked at San Pedro harbor. “Old Ironsides”, manned by a crew of five officers and forty men is making a cruise to all important sea ports in America in honor R.O.T.C.

The frigate was of especial interest to students because her reconstruction was made possible with funds donated by the schools of the United States. To commemorate the two hundred and first birthday anniversary of George Washington, an assembly was held on February twenty-second. The Colonial theme was used throughout the program. Principal Van Cleve read from a news- paper published shortly after the death of Washington. This paper has come down to Mr. Van Cleve from his great-great-great grandfather, Captain William Van Cleve, who was a member of Washington’s staff. The principal also told some inter- esting facts about the life of the first president, including his friendship with Lord Fairfax after whom our school was named. The formal installation of the Girls’ League cabinet and representatives was held at an assembly for girls on Friday, February twenty-fourth. Andree Wagner, president, introduced the other officers and the commissioners who were attired in semi-formal gowns. The League pledge, set to music by Doris Broad, was sung for the first time. Student talent numbers arranged by Bettye Jane Taylor, commis- sioner of assemblies, completed the program. R.O.T.C. Band [73] Senior Garden—1930 Following a week of closely contested elections, Miss Newby, faculty sponsor, announced the results of the S'33 class poll. For the first time in school history, only boys were chosen to fill the four class offices.

At a double assembly on February twenty-eighth, Maurice Loson and Dana Bergh were chosen by the judges to aid Town Crier Charles Smouse for the spring semester. The same day, the Colonial Council unanimously adopted a resolution to amend the school constitution. The amendment, designed by Aaron Blackman, commissioner of oral arts, to stimulate interest in oratory and debating by award- ing emblems to all those participating in such activities, was approved by the stu- dent body in a subsequent vote. Howdy Day, sponsored semi-annually by the Alphas for the purpose of fur- thering a friendly feeling among students took place on the second of March. An informal dance was held in the girls' gymnasium after school, under the direction of the Girls' League. The next day, editors of community newspapers in the Fair- fax district were the guests of honor at a luncheon given by the publicity staff, with Margaret Ruthven, commissioner of publicity, as chairman. The three prin- cipals, Miss McCulloch, and Mrs. Stromberger, journalism instructor, were the fac- ulty members who attended. The editors and the newspapers they represented in- clude: Mr. Harold Hubbard, Hollywood Citizen-News; Mr. Melville Shine, The Variant; Mr. Pete Gerald Fearr, The Budget; Mr. Roger Johnson, Hancock Park Press; Mr. H. E. Wells, Sunset Recorder; Mr. Bob Glenn, West Hollywood Trib- une; Mr. E. C. Pryor, Ho lywood Journal; Mr. Robert Farnham, Fairfax Bulletin; and Mr. Floyd E. Shaw, Fairfax-La Brea Herald.

Joan Grossberg, editor-in-chief, spoke briefly on the features of the 1933 Colonial and James Sheller, business manager, explained the campaign procedure. Prominent members of the alumni were guest artists on the program. Hal Kleinschmidt interviewed Aaron Rosenberg and Homer Griffith, U.S.C. football stars and Louis Phillippi drew caricatures of prominent Colonials. [74] iriHII 1l:B]ili. t'DDI L'DIH HAIL Senior Garden—1933 The first student talent assembly of the term was presented on March ninth, under the direction of Assistant Lord High Richard Offeman. Through his efforts moving picture cartoons, comedies, and other short subjects were shown at regu- lar double assemblies for the first time in school history. The sound equipment was made and installed by Mr. G. A. Carvili of the Mechanic Arts department. The heart of every loyal Colonial and every patriotic American beat a little faster with excitement and pride on the morning of March tenth, when to martial music played by its uniformed band, and with colors flying, the Fairfax R.O.T.C. unit received its annual official inspection. Colonel Jerome Pillow, federal inspec- tion officer of the Ninth Corps Area, reviewed the troop. Jack Wright, cadet ma- jor, was in charge of the drill acting under the supervision of Sergeant V.P. Pyland. Spring vacation was held from March eleventh through March twentieth, earlier than scheduled because of the earthquake of March tenth. All school activities were postponed and the school auditorium was closed indefinitely. Many Colonial members of the R.O.T.C. and National Guard served in the stricken area. The afternoon of the earthquake the first track meets of the season were held. The Fairfax C track team met with a crushing 64-13 defeat by Garfield on the win- ner's track. They were saved from a complete shut out by Carson George, Joe Lung, Bill Hauber, Gilbert Vidauri, and Henry Davis, who scored 13 points. Breaking the school relay record by six tenths of a second. Coach Bowen's Class B track and field team nosed out Garfield, 49-45, on the Bulldogs' field, after the Colonial relay team won in the fast time of 1:9.2s, two tenths of a second un- der the Southern California record. Lester Mcisenheimer, Wes Strouse, Bob McGaug- hey and Wes Cameron comprised the record breaking team. With the relay deciding the meet, the Colonial Class A tracksters opened their City League season with a 56 1 3 to 47 2 3 victory over Garfield on the loser's track. Leslie “Slim Watson and Bill Pippin each captured two first places, while Vin Musso, Louie Baehr, and Charles Ritchey accounted for one first place apiece. The vocational guidance talks for boys, sponsored by the Rotary and Kiwanis dubs of West Hollywood and under the direction of Mr. Swan and the Colonial Knights, were given on March twenty-first by a group of successful business and professional men.

Watson won both hurdles and the high jump, while Musso captured both sprints. Jack Davies uncorked a great finish in the 440 to win in 53.7s and give Fairfax five points. The next week Coach Bowen's midgets nosed out Roosevelt, 40-37, on the winners' track, to prove beyond a doubt that they could score more than six points in a track meet. Bill Hauber set his team off to a good start by taking the high jump at 5 ft. 4 in., breaking the school record by 1 in. Taking first in practically every event, the Fairfax lightweight track and field team swamped Roosevelt, 57 5 6 to 33 1 6, to ring up its third straight win of the season. Fast times were turned in by Lester Meisenheimer, Bill Rollins and Wes Strousc. Meisenheimer won the century in 10.4s; Rollins the 1320 in 3:33.s.; and Strouse the furlong in 24.2s.

Bill Pippin, Charles Ritchey, Seymour Kupper, and Louis Bryant earned 5 points each. This meet enabled a number of the Fairfax athletes to win their letter and also to present the Tigers with their second worse defeat of the season. Lincoln was competing without the services of several of their point winners who left the team, due to the poor showing made by the squad. [77] f Under the direction of Bettye Jane Taylor, commissioner of assemblies for the Girls' League, a new type of entertainment was presented at the April Fools' Dance. A floor show and dancing contest were features of the afternoon. This was the first Girls' League affair given since Mrs. Marguerite Behrman succeeded Mrs. Gladys Henry as sponsor of the organization. Under the leadership of Jack Allen, presi- dent, and Miss Jessie Lickel, faculty sponsor, the Senior B's officially began their activities, the week of April third, with the organiza- tion of committees and selection of the class pin. The other officers were Jeanne Mil- ler, vice-president; Margaret Barlow, secretary; and Hillard Pettier, treasurer. The members of the Fairfax Girls' Athletic Association, together with girls from John Marshall, Belmont and Venice, were the guests of the Los Angeles high school G.A.A. at a playday held at the latter school on April fifth. Miss Gwendolyn Cor- son, sponsor of the club, was in charge of the various Colonial teams. Fairfax was represented in the baseball, basketball, volleyball, tennis, archery, and swimming events. After the sports were completed, dancing was held in the girls’ gymnasium and refreshments were served on the East grounds. On April 6, the Fairfax tennis team, led by Captain Heinz Seigman, swamped Lincoln 25-0, on the Tigers' court.

Led by Bob McGaughey, who set a new school record in the 120 yard low hur- dles of 14s. flat, breaking the mark of 14.2s. held by Charles “Chuck” McGowan, the Colonial lightweight team kept its clean slate intact, defeating Fremont, 59 3 5 to 35 2 5, on Van Cleve field. The Colonials scored 12 out of a possible 18 points in the sprints, while Bill Rollins continued his winning ways in the 1320, winning in the fast time of 3:24s. With Miss Adelaide Hart as club sponsor, the French club has had a very suc- cessful year. The purpose of the club is to create an interest in French language and customs. Beautifully colored Parisian slides have been shown at the meetings in addi- tion to the presentation of French plays, music, and poetry. In one of the closest meets ever held on Van Cleve field, the Fairfax heavy- weight squad nosed out Fremont 53% to 50%. With the score 48% to 50%, in favor of the Pathfinders, the relay race ended in a dead heat, but the judges declared that Seymour Kupper, running fourth for Fairfax, had been fouled, thus giving the Colonials the relay and the meet. Fairfax owed its victory to four events, the hur- dles, high jump and 440, as the Colonials scored 34% points in these four events. Les Watson was high point man with 12 points. Bill Pippin broad jumped 21 ft. 8 in. to win the event. The fourth series of vocational guidance talks for girls presented at Fairfax by the Alpha society under the direction of Mrs. Mildred R. Brown, was given on April eighteenth. Previous to the day set for the talks, each girl stated her first choice of vocation. The results showed that of the 1,140 girls at Fairfax, 134 were interested in Secretarial work. Dancing, dress designing, modeling, and drama each received more than 80 votes. Approximately 50 girls chose culture, nursing, journal- ism, teaching, or stenographic work, while 24 voted for missionary work. Among the prominent business and professional women who spoke were: Mrs. Nelbert M. Chouinard, Commercial Art: Madame Elsie Wolfe, Designing; Mrs. Caroline Walk- er, feature writer for the Herald-Express, Journalism; Judge May D.

Every Tuesday is the meeting day of the Literary Lions, an organization com- posed of students interested in creative writing. At each weekly meeting held by the club a topic is chosen upon which all prose and poetry written during the week should be based. Through the efforts of Mr. Homer Goddard, a great deal of reputa- ble work has been turned out. Saved by Sandy Lew from a shut out, the Colonial tennis team lost to the strong L.A. High team, 23 to 2, on the Romans’ court. Lew captured third singles, 3-6, 7-5, 7-5. This was the first time the Romans had been scored on this season. Finishing its season on April 21, with one win and four defeats, the Fairfax C tracksters were defeated, 50J 2 to 26j 2, by Belmont on the winners' oval. Roy John- son and Pierre Provost captured the only first places for the losers, the former win- ning the 50 yard dash, and the latter the pole vault. The relay team composed of Johnson, Herman Strouse, Lou Hough, and Gilbert Vidaurri, won its first race of the year, winning in 49s. flat. Six wins and no defeats! Capturing the first dual meet championship ever to be won by a Fairfax track and field team. Coach Ross Bowen's lightweights captured the City League cham- pionship, swamping Belmont, 71V2 to - Zl cn the Hilltoppers’ track. Fast times were turned in by Bob McGaughey, Wes. Cameron, and Johnny Martin. McGaug- hey won the high hurdles in 919s; Cameron captured the low hurdles in 14.1s; and [84] in we Martin took the 660 in I :32.2s. Fairfax swept the high jump, 660, and low hurdles. Les Meisenheimer was high point man of the meet with 11 !4 points. Retaining their feat of winning four out of six league meets since enter- ing the City League, the Colonial Heavyweights brought their season to a close, los- ing to their traditional rival, Belmont, 63J 2 to 40J 2, on the winners' cinderpath. Fairfax scored 17 points in the hurdles. Les Watson and Fred Eisman finished one- two in both the highs and lows, while Bill Pickens nabbed a third in the highs. Ivan Earle took second place in the mile for Fairfax to mark the first time the Colonials had scored in this event since the opening meet with Garfield. Hopes of having a strong team next season appeared bright for the Colonials with Louie Bryant, Charles Ritchey, Fred Eisman, Louie Baehr, Bill Pickens, Dan Carasso, Dieal Riggins, and Ivan Earle returning. Such Bees as Bill Rollins, Les Meisenheimer, Harry Snow, Wes Strouse, Wes Cameron, John Van Duesen, Johnny Martin, Jack Cravens, Bill Hauber, Mel Morse, and Bob McGaughey are expected to aid the heavyweight team greatly. The City League track meet preliminaries found thirteen Fairfax track and field athletes qualifying for the finals held at Los Angeles High, May 1. In the heavy- weight division, Fred Eisman and Les Watson won their heats in both the high and low hurdles. Jack Davies and Seymour Kupper placed in the 440 heats, while Bill Pippin qualified in the broad jump, and Louie Baehr in the High Jump. The relay team, composed of Leo Foley, Ted Worthington, Owen Brower, Kupper, Davies, Watson, Eisman, and Bob Freel, placed third to compete in the finals. Harry Snow and Wes Strouse, 660; Bill Rollins and Dieal Riggins, 1320; Bob McGaughey, high hurdles; Wes Cameron, low hurdles; and Lester Meisenheimer, 220; qualified for the lightweight squad, along with the relay team composed of Strouse, John Van Duesen, McGaughey and Cameron. The Class C four man 440 relay team, consisting of Roy Johnson, Herman Little” Strouse, Lou Hough and Gilbert Vidaurri, qualified for the finals by taking fourth place in its heat. The Class A finals found Watson taking second in both the high and low hur- dles, and Eisman third in the highs. Eisman was leading in the lows, but fell within two yards of the finishing line and was unable to place. Baehr tied for fifth place in the high jump to give the Colonials 11 1-3 points and seventh place in the final Girls’ Friendship Cl Bark Row; Left to Right: Barbara Hirschfeld, Azilc Ream.

The relay team took fourth place but was disqualified for passing the baton out of the passing zone. Rollins smashed Morrie Harris 1320 record set in the City Meet in 19.'2 by seven-tenths of a second. A strong finish enabled Snow to take second in the 660, with Riggins capturing fourth in the 1320, while McGaughey placed third in the high hurdles to conclude the lightweights scoring, giving them 14 points and sixth place. The Cee relay team took fifth place to account for the only scoring done by the midgets. The graduates of S'33 wore their brown and white class sweaters for the first time on April twenty-seventh, which was officially celebrated as Senior Sweater Day”. The Senior A Color Day presentation, “When Mother Was a Girl was postponed to May 18th, because the Board of Education placed a ban on all school auditoriums for several weeks after the earthquake. On April 27, Frank Shaffer’s baseball tossers nosed out a strong Alumni team, 3-1, on Van Cleve field in the “annual” baseball game which is played the week be- fore the opening league game. The losers' line-up included such former Fairfax baseball stars as Benny Petrone, Bill Spaulding, Artie Reichle, Curtis Counts, Bud Rublee, Clyde Baker, Dee Futch, Michel Gleis, and Hayne Blankenship. Kelly Hus- ton tripled in the seventh inning, scoring Jean Gleis and Earl Bliss, and later scored on a squeeze play by Stan Cohen to account for the winners' runs. Neil Rasmussen and “Buck” Hall divided the hurling duties for Fairfax, allowing seven hits between them. President's Day”, an expression of gratitude to and confidence in Franklin D. Roosevelt, was observed at Fairfax on Friday, April twenty-eighth. Mr. William McNichols addressed the double assembly. That evening families of students and citizens of the neighborhood were guests at a program representative of school work presented in the Fairfax auditorium, in observance of Public School Week. Dr. Walter Dexter, president of Whittier College, addressed the assemblage over which Principal Van Cleve presided. The program included musical selections by the school band and glee clubs, presentation of colors and a drum and bugle corps drill by the R.O.T.C., dance numbers under the direction of the girls' physical education department, acrobatic stunts by the Boys’ gymnasium club, a fashion show of gar- ments made by girls enrolled in the home economics department, and a one-act play [86] by members of the drama classes. A display of student work was exhibited in the rotunda. Fairfax took an active part in the observance of Boys’ Week, May first through seventh. Several Colonials worked in metropolitan stores or represented the com- mercial classes in other large business organizations. A quartet composed of Tom Barringer, Bob Lane, Melville Ricketts, and Joel Myers sang over the radio Tuesday night on a program of student talent from the Los Angeles city schools. A record was made of the numbers sung by the quartet and copies were presented to them and Mr. Van Cleve. Boys who occupied important civic positions on Wednesday, Boys Day in Government , included Leo Foley as Fire Chief; Charles Lowe, Coun- ty Assessor; John Fisher and Eugene Bloodgood, Superior Court Judges; Clarence Branesky, Police Inspector; Robert Reed, Insurance Inspector; Weldon McNichols, Police Captain; and Frederic Moore, Police Official. One of the newly organized clubs at Fairfax, the Motion Picture Club, which claims Mr. Laurence Chandler as its sponsor, has succeeded in a great many enter- prises since its beginning, last fall. Last semester, the club made a one-reel comedy dealing with school life, called The Hot-Cha , and also visited one of the major motion picture studios to watch the production of motion pictures. The semi-annual scholarship contest, originated last semester by the S’33 class, and held between the two senior divisions in conjunction with the traditional Sack Rush, was again won by class of Summer, 1933. The Senior A's, 311 in all, made a total score of plus 2,538, giving them an average of plus 8.1607, approximately one- tenth of a point better than their rivals who, numbering 185 pupils, made a total plus score of 1,493 and an average of 8.0703. On May 2, the Fairfax tennis team swamped Manual Arts, 21 to 4, on the latter s courts, to take every match except second doubles. Captain Heinz Seigman won first singles, 6-2, 6-2; Weldon McNichols captured second singles, 6-1, 8-6; Sandy Lew grabbed third singles, 7-5, 9-4; and Tommy Chambers won fourth sin- gles, 6-4, 8-6. Don Bradlor and A1 Rabinowitz captured first doubles, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4. Two days later the Colonials won their third match and moved into undisputed possession of second place in the City League standings, by thumping Belmont 17 to 8, on the Hilltoppers' courts.

The first doubles team of Don Bradlor and A1 Rabinowitz won, 6-4, 4-6, 6-1. Several hundred Colonial ladies lost their dignity in the afternoon of May tenth and donned baby clothes and assumed childish mannerisms to attend the Girls’ League Hi Jinx. The gymnasium, scene of this funfest, was converted into a huge nursery with baby carriages, scooters, kiddy-cars, toy animals, dolls, and other youthful play- things everywhere. Games and dancing and refreshments were enjoyed by all. Prizes were awarded the cutest baby, the fastest crawler, the naughtiest child, and the win- ners of the dance contest. On the same day a ninth inning home-run by Roy Bucko with the bases loaded gave the Fairfax second string baseball team a 12-8 win over Franklins 9th and 10th graders in the opening City League game played on the losers diamond, on May 4.

Stromberger Journalism Instructor Genevieve Jasaitis Editor Second Semester Mr. Halmar Gustaveson Printing Instructor [89] - [90] — in hie Rasmussen sees IT THROUGH Hubert Kittle, Fairfax pitcher, fanned 13 batters in seven innings, while Jack La Grass, also of the Colonials, struck out four men in two frames. Bucko and Roy Hoffman each knocked out two hits in four trips to the plate. Featured by the brilliant playing of Bob “Red Lane, catcher, and Neil “Rasty Rasmussen, pitcher, the Fairfax first string baseball squad opened its season with a 2-0 loss by Roosevelt, on the following day. The game was played at Fairfax. Lane got one hit, a double, and two walks in four times at bat, while Rasmussen permitted only seven hits, two of which were “flukes” and fanned seven batters. The Colonials got only two hits, Kelly Huston accounting for the other bingle. Sixteen Colonial batters went out on strikes. The girls of the G.A.A. had their fling at competitive athletics on May third, the day of the Fairfax Play Day. The schools answering the invitation issued by Fairfax were: Van Nuys, Beverly Hills, and Fremont. After competing in games of basketball, volleyball, speedball, tennis and archery, the hostesses presented a pro- gram and refreshments. Because of the fine sportsmanship displayed by all the schools the Play Day was acclaimed a marked success. The Class of W’34 publicly displayed their class colors of gray and green and sang their class song for the first time on May Ninth previous to the presentation of Eddie Cantor in Palmy Days.” The W34 graduates broke all records for ticket sales when they sold 1300 color day tickets. May 11 again found the Fairfax tennis team defeating Fremont on the losers court to the score of 18-7. The team won all four of the singles and one doubles match. Heinz Seigman won first singles, 6-2, 6-2; Weldon McNichols captured sec- ond singles, 6-1, 6-2; Sandy Lew took third singles, 6-1, 6-2, and Tommy Chambers won fourth singles, 2-6, 6-4, 6-2. The Colonial second doubles team, composed of Bob Leek and Homer Lewis, won, 6-2, 6-4. A four run rally in the fourth inning enabled the Colonial second string baseball team to nose out Lincoln, 6-5, on the winners’ diamond. A sharp double down the third base line with the bases loaded by Bill Sellers, scoring Ed Crosthwait and Hubert Kittle, accounted for the first two runs. Rolland Stewart and Sellers later came home on an error. Kittle re- leived Dan Carasso on the mound in the second inning and limited the Tigers to two runs in five innings. Sellers was the best player on the field and at bat. An unassisted double play by the Colonial second baseman in the opening frame, with the bags full, pulled Carasso out of a hole and his double in the fourth inning rally turned defeat into victory for Fairfax. The next day, a bad first inning gave the Fairfax first string baseball team its second defeat of the season. Playing Lincoln at Franklin High, the Colonials saw the game slip away from them when the Tigers scored six runs in the opening stanza, winning by the score of 7-1. Neil Rasmussen replaced Buck Hall in the pitcher's box to start the second inning, and proceeded to hold the Tigers at bay the remainder of the contest. The Colonials scored their lone run, the first of the season, in the third inning. Bob Red Lane walked, stole second base, advanced to third on an error, and came home on another error. Fairfax was handicapped by the lack of batting power, getting but five safe blows. Jimmy Granbery and Captain Earl Bliss each knocked out two hits, while Harold McComb accounted for the other hit. Fourteen Colonials went down via the strike-out route. The Southern California track meet finals, which took place on May 13, found Fairfax's three entries, Les Slim Watson, hurdler; Harry Snow, B 660 man, and Bill Rollins, 1320 runner, scoring points for Fairfax. Watson took fourth and fifth place in high and low hurdles, respectively. The 660 race found Snow taking fifth place and Rollins doing likewise in the 1320.

[92] TrniiE athlete to place among the first five in this event. Colonials were given a rare treat on May sixteenth when the Los Angeles Police Force Pistol team appeared at Fairfax. Before the regular program be- gan, Jack Allen, W’34 class president, challenged the Senior A’s to a sack rush to be held on Van Cleve field on May twen- ty-fifth. Lord High Barsumian then introduced Deputy Chief of Police Frederick Davis. Davis told about the training and achievements of the United States pistol teams, and stressed the importance of Clean Living . Following his talk. Officers R. J. Nowka and C. T. Ward gave an exhibition of fancy pistol shooting while Officer J. O. Dircks held the targets. Among the daring stunts were shooting the ashes off cigars and cigarettes; shooting the band off a cigar; shooting at chalk held in the hands, ears, and mouth; and shooting objects while blindfolded, cross armed, or with sight concealed. A hectic fourth inning, in which Los Angeles scored five unearned runs on errors and bone head plays, gave the Colonial second string ball nine its first loss of the year, 7-2. The game was played at L.A. High on May 18. Fairfax played without the services of Roy Bucko, brilliant short-stop and hitter, who was out of the game with a spiked hand, and was only able to pound out four safe hits. Hubert Kittle, John Kearney, Milton Greenblatt, and Rolland Stewart each got a hit. Bill Elliott scored the Colonials’ first run, while Greenblatt pinch hit in the last inning and drove out a double, scoring on Kittle’s single to account for the loser's other tally. John Fisher placed first in the district finals of the World Friendship Oratorical Contest, held at Beverly Hills High School, May nineteenth. Fisher, whose subject was Mental Disarmament”, spoke against representatives from five other schools. His triumph qualified him to speak in the finals at Polytechnic High School on June second.

Swamping Franklin High, 18-7, on the Poinsettia courts, the Fairfax tennis team finished its season on the same day in undisputed possession of second place in the City League with five wins and one loss. Each member of the team received a silver tennis ball as an award for taking second place. Captain Heinz Seigman won first singles, 6-1, 6-1; Weldon McNichols second singles, 6'0, 6-3; Tommy Chambers third singles, 6-0, 6-3; while Sandy Lew captured fourth singles, 7-5, 7-5. Lew did not lose a league match during the season. Bob Leek and Homer Lewis dropped first doubles after coming from behind to take the second set, losing 6-4, 1-6, 6-3. Don Bradlor and A1 Rabinowitz took second doubles, 6-4, 6-3. Songs of earlier days and dances popular in the “Gay Nineties were revised very successfully on May eighteenth and nineteenth by the Class of S 33, when they presented their color day extravaganza, When Mother Was a Girl . The novel costumes and the clever treatment of the story which was written by Dorothy Simp- son, helped to make the production as fine as it was. Various old-fashioned dance numbers, which were directed by Miss Helen Greening and the beautiful chorus, coached by Mrs. Florence Horton combined in one spectacular performance. The skits and staging were arranged by Miss Araxie Jamgochian and the entire story was under the direction of Mrs. Phyllis Davis. “When Mother Was a Girl”—S'33 Color Day [94] Prom et means Ethel Albrecht.

Coach Frank Shaffer's baseball team suffered its second shutout in three games, losing to Los Angeles, KM), on May nineteenth. Fairfax batted out eight safe blows but was unable to bunch them. The Romans earned but three of the ten runs scored off on Neil Rasmussen. Kelly Hus- ton, Charles Lorch, and Rasmussen led the batting attack for the Colonials. Lorch knocked out three singles in as many times to bat, while Huston and Rasmussen got two hits apiece. Harold McComb accounted for the Colonials' other hit. Fairfax had runners on base every inning. The Colonials set an unusual prep record of scor ing but one run in three games. Saturday, May twentieth, found Captain Les “Slim Watson bringing a very successful prep athletic career to a close. The brilliant Fairfax basketball and track star placed fifth in the high hurdles in the State Meet, held at the Olympic Stadium. “Ditch Day , the half holiday given the members of the Promethean Society, once a year, was again celebrated at Brookside park. The picnickers accompanied by Mrs. Phyllis E. Davis, faculty sponsor, Mr. H. L. Goddard, Coach Ray Call, and Miss Esther Halgren, left school after fifth period, Wednesday, May twenty'fourth. Swimming, tennis, and baseball were enjoyed by various groups before they gathered for the picnic supper. A tug of war culminated the day's activities. [95] A sixth inning rally enabled the Colonial second string baseball team to defeat Franklin 9-3, on Van Cleve field. May 25, and to stay in the race for the cham- pionship. This was Fairfax’s third win in four starts. George McEwen, Hubert Kittle, Jack LaGrass, Bill Sellers, Sherman Orinstein, Bill Elliott, Rolland Stewart, Roy Bucko and Roy Hoffman, all played a part in the sixth inning rally which netted the Colonials six runs and the ball game. Kittle chucked another brilliant game for Fairfax, permitting but four hits and fanning nine batters. Leading by the score of 3-1 in the last inning only to have a member of the in- field throw the ball to the wrong base, the Fairfax first string baseball squad dropped a 6-4 decision to Franklin in an extra inning game played on the winners diamond, May 26. The game went nine innings. Neil Rasmussen pitched a winning brand of ball for Fairfax until relieved by Fred Furman in the sixth inning. Rasmussen pitched no-hit-no-run ball for four innings, while striking out six men and walking none. The Colonials took the lead in the eighth inning after Franklin had tied the score in the seventh inning, only to have the Bens tie the score in their half of the frame and win out in the ninth inning. Harold McComb led the batting attack with two hits in five trips to the plate. “Decoration Day” was commemorated at Fairfax with a patriotic program feat- uring Martin Covel, Fairfax orator as speaker. Patriotic songs were played by the Fairfax band. In order to aid the needy students of Fairfax, the Hi-Y presented a benefit show on June first. The program, which was under the direction of Fred Keenan, brought back many prominent alumni as guest stars. Montie Brown, former Lord High Com- missioner, played the accordian, and Homer Griffith, U.S.C. football star, sang. The famous Whittier college quartet which numbers Joe Gaudio as a member, presented several numbers, and Fred Karger rendered his inimitable piano numbers. An amus- ing feature of the show was the dance by a member of our own faculty, Mr. Tom Rice. The entire Hi-Y club participated in the grand finale.

The Boys' Gym Club, consisting of approximately sixty boys, presented a com- plete acrobatic show on June sixth. The club, under the direction of Coach Ray Call, numbers some boys who are very agile on the mat, buck, and parallel bars. Alumni Homecoming Day”, an annual event at Fairfax, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Doris Siddall, who is in charge of the alumni organization, was held on June ninth.

The comedy covers a period of over a year. During that time one death, one marriage, one birth, a breach of promise suit, a European war brought on because Anthony Cavendish fell in love with a princess who was already engaged to the head of another royal family, transpire. The cast, headed by June Eilers as Julia Cavendish, Bob Leckie as Anthony Cavendish, and Sally Smith as Fanny Cavendish, their mother, included Dorothy Ranns, Bill Cole, Clark Harris, Aaron Blackman, James Smith, William Pollock, Johanna Bernhard, Claudia Cahoon, Dorothy Simpson, and Bob Morlan.
