INSTEAD, THE EFFORTS OF THIS YEAR'S ANNUAL STAFF HAVE BEEN DIRECTED TOWARD THE TASK OF PRODUCING A BOOK WHICH WOULD PRESENT AT THE SAME TIME AN INTERESTING AND ATTRACTIVE BOOK AND A TRUE AND ACCURATE PICTURE OF STUDENT LIFE. THIS DE' PARTURE FROM THE TRADITIONAL FORM OF SCHOOL ANNUAL HAS MADE POSSIBLE A DIFFERENT AND INFORMAL STYLE OF TYPOGRAPHY AND MAKEfUP USUALLY FOUND ONLY IN THE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE TYPE OF PUBLICAf TION. IF THIS CHANGE HAS CAUSED RESULTS WHICH ARE PLEASING, THEN THE STAFF OF THE 1937 COLONIAL WILL BE SATISFIED. IF THESE RESULTS ARE NOT SATISFACTORY, AT LEAST WE HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF PRODUCING, AND YOU OF READING A PUBLICATION WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM THE USUAL MONOTONOUS STYLE OF SCHOOL YEARBOOK.

I3 RAE G. VAN CLEVE Principal This mans work can he seen cvcrywlieve at Fairfax. K . In order to eihciently and successfully operate, any organization must have an executive depart' ment to supervise the activities of that organiza' tion. At Fairfax the smoothness of the daily activity of the school proves that a competent executive staff is ever present. This staff includes a Principal, general administrator of the entire' school, a Boys' VicefPrincipal, and a Girls' Vicef Principal. As their titles indicate, these latter positions are for the purpose of more closely di- recting the activities of the boys and girls of the school. To these vicefprincipals also falls the duty of the management .of many of the organ' izations of the school. One day in 1924 they head of the biology def partment of Los Angeles High School was sumf moned to the oihce of Susan M. Dorsey, superinf tendent of schools. That day a great task was placed in the hands of this man, the founding and administration of a new high school, Fairfax by name. The results of that man's work may be seen today everywhere at Fairfax, for, al' though the school has greatly grown, the same principal is still capably discharging the duties of his ofhce. His name is Rae G. Van Cleve. Mr. Van Cleve had an honorable and note' worthy record behind him to justify his appoint' ment to such a position. Born in Albany, Ore' gon, he has lived all but a short period of his life on the Pacific coast. Illinois and Santa Ana, Cal' ifornia, grammar schools contributed to his elef mentary education, most of which, however, was taught him by his mother. Mr. Van Cleveis higher education was gained from the academy and colleges of the University of Southern Cali- fornia. A postfgraduate course at Berkeley then equipped him for the teaching profession which he had then determined to enter. 9 MRS. Mlrniueo BROVJN Girls' Vice-Principal . . was chosen to accompany Van Cleve as vice-principal. Mr. Van Cleve's first teaching position was at the Baptist College in Los Angeles. From there he transferred to the San Fernando grammar school, in which he served as principal for four years. It was now the year 1901 and Mr. Van Cleve was brought in to the Los Angeles High School, at which institution he served until the fateful day when he was chosen to lead the des' tinies of Fairfax. While at Los Angeles Mr. Van Cleve led a busy life. As well as his reguf lar daytime activities as head of the biology def partment, he occupied the following outside po' sitions. He organized the Los Angeles Evening School and acted as its principal for four years. For thirteen summers Mr. Van Cleve also di' rected the activities of the summer school which he organized at Los Angeles High. Well qualif fied was he, then, and fortunate for the future welfare of Fairfax was it, that the man chosen to govern the activities of Fairfax High School was Rae G. Van Cleve. To accompany Mr. Van Cleve as vicefprincif pal of the new school was chosen Miss Mildred Finch, then a teacher in Mr. Van Cleve's Biol' ogy Department. Mrs. Brown is the name today, but she still administers the activities of the Ladies of Fairfax. She was born in Riverside and received her early education in that city's schools. She then enrolled in Los Angeles High and was assigned to Mr. Van Cleve's home room. Once again she returned to the city of her birth, attended, and graduated from Riverf side High. Following this, five years at the Uni' versity of 'Southern California earned her a Bachelor of Arts Degree and Teacher's Certinf cate. Mrs. Brown then traveled to the Univerf sity of California for her Master's degree, then to an extension school for her administrative credentials. Mrs. Brown has taught in several far different parts of our state. Her first teaching position was in the commercial department of a small school in Modesto county. She followed this with four years in the Science department at Los Angeles High. It was from this department that Mrs. Brown was chosen to fill the post she A torn dress or a bunch of flowers present no difficulties to Girls' VicefPrincipal Mildred Brown, whose varied talents include wielding a needle and arranging a bouquet as well as those necessary to carry out the executive functions of her position. 10 has so competently occupied, Girls' VicefPrinf cipal at Fairfax. During the first semester of 1925 it was deemed necessary to import a second vicefprincif pal to take charge of the boys' affairs of the school. To thus complete the executive departi ment at Fairfax was chosen Dewit S. Swan. Although born in the southern tip of Illinois, Mr. Swan's education was gathered chiefly from schools of Colorado. He graduated from the University of Denver and proceeded into the teaching profession in that city. In 1912 Mr. Swan moved to Los Angeles. Here he proceeded to the Los Angeles High School where he taught mathematics and astronomy. It was from that position that he was transferred to Fairfax to take up his valuable work as Boys' VicefPrincif pal. Thus we have examined the members of the executive staff. The next link in the chain of eflicient management of the school is the office staff. The enormous task of keeping the records of such large institutions clear and unentangled is accomplished by a small staff of eight persons. As well as the clerical work, members of this group operate the library, attendance oliice, clerks' office, and counselor's office, and discharge secretarial duties for the principal. Next in the system of school management comes the faculty.. Each subject and teacher is grouped into a department of like classes. Each department has a department head or chairman, who is responsible for that division. The wisdom of this segregation of departments may best be understood by an examination of the far differ' Qld' Dawrrr S. SWAN Boys' Vice-Principal . . . completes the executive department at Fairfax. ent problems and activities of each department in our rapidly growing school. In accompaniment with the growth of the en' tire school, the Art department, presided over by Coach Will Paxton, artist and poet, has ex' perienced a corresponding increase in enrollment during the past year. This department gives its students opportunities to enter two poster conf tests the year, the Community Chest contest, held during the fall, and the Easter Sunrise Service contest, held during the spring. It also sponsors Vicefprincipal D. S. Swan takes a few minutes to explain the shield of the Colonial Knights, an organization which he sponsors. Then it is back to work as Mr. Swan goes to bat with the telephone, with Mr. Gooden' ough on deck. 11 many organizations which do valuable advertisf ing work for the school. Another department of the school is also ad' ministered by an artist. Coach Hugh Welsh of the Boys' Physical Education department exhihf its his artistic abilities in many ways, principally by the homefdrawn sketch of the symbols of the various fields of athletic endeavor which hangs in his ofhce. This department offers two alterf nate courses for the students to pursue. The newcomer to Fairfax may choose to enroll in the Gymnasium classes or the R.O.T.C. unit. The Gym classes are naturally devoted to outdoor exf ercises and sports. The R.O.T.C. is nominally under the head of this department, hut is actual' ly semifindependent with Major Sliney at its head. This unit is under the supervision of the United States Army and tends more toward dis- cipline and army tactics. Alrr DEPARTRIENT Odgzird. Donaldson, Paxton Kun-vers.

O. Backer, has many new courses and new methods in old courses to offer. All trends now point toward practicalism in the new courses. A new course in Consumers Eco' nomics does its part to make Fairfax graduates more conversant with the problems of everyday buying. A new typing class for Seniors now off fers a practical course which endeavors to teach those fundamentals which are necessary for perf sonal and collegiate use. Two experimental Senf ior classes in bookkeeping have been taught. One class has had bookkeeping in the tenth grade and the other is studying the subject for the first time. The results of this test will show whether tenth grade students receive enough knowledge from the course to justify its continuance.

L. God' dard administers the English department, largest in the school. So great is the work of this secf tion that teachers from Mathematics, Social Studies, and Foreign Language have been needed to augment the regular department teachers. As a department project the Creative Writing Year' book is published, embodying the best literary eff forts of the English classes. In the lower grades a set program of courses is taught, but those of the upper grades are offered a wide variety of electives from which to choose. In the future English will tend toward the general developf ment of offering an even wider range of elective subjects.

Four gymnasium periods and one hygiene hour form the weekly program for those enrolled in the Girls' Physical Education department. On the hygiene day subjects are discussed relating to personality, and charm. The other days may be occupied by engaging in one of the variety of sports offered: Speedball, basketball, volleyball, and baseball. One day during the Week is free, and the girls may play table tennis, badminton, or tennis with the valuable equipment provided for this use.

Home Economics also offers mixed classes in Social Arts, mainly for Senior students, which proved so popular that three crowded classes are not suff licient to accommodate those who desire the course. As an afterfschool voluntary meeting, the boys and girls of the Social Arts classes may congregate once a week as a dancing club in gymnasium.

In the lower grades the subjects are of necessity set, but twelfth grade students may choose from a variety of electives, including California History, Social Problems, International Relations and PanfPaciHc History. Having enjoyed a great increase in size during the past year, the Science department, headed by sadffaced comedian L. D. Smith, has been work' ing under the difficulties which accompany such great numbers. A new teacher, Mr. Kendig, has been added to the department to help relieve the condition. The Science department has been working toward a general goal of replacing sinf gle textfbooks by a number of reference books which may be used by the students. Science stu' dents have been treated during the year to sevf eral lectures by noted outside speakers on sub' jects relating to the department studies. REGISTRAR L. J.

Executive, oratorical and social abilities are the qualifications necessary for the oiiiciating over the Council, presiding at school gatherings, and representing the school on the outside, These are the duties of the highest office in the student gov' ernment, the Lord High Commissionership. Verifying his southern accent Tom Freear, elected to this office for the first semester possesses a birth certiicate marked Memphis, Tennessee. His elementary education, begun in that metropf olis, was continued in the Ramona and Cahuenga grammar schools in Los Angeles. Following his junior high experience, gained at Bancroft, Tom moved to Fairfax, remaining until graduation. In junior high where he served in many ca' pacities, his greatest service was as president of his senior class. He earned membership every term in the honor society and won a special award for outstanding service. At Fairfax, Tom's talents won the interfclass debating and caused his selection as representaf tive in the Extemporaneous Oratorical Contest. S'57 PRESIDENT GAY PRYOR His scholastic ability was again shown by mem' bership in Prometheans and the California Scholf arship Federation. In school politics he attained prominence as the twicefelected president of the Boys' Assize Court, followed by his selection as Lord High Commissioner. At the conclusion of the fall semester it became the duty of Tom Freear to pass the gavel of auf thority to the one whom the student body had chosen to succeed him, Gay Pryor. Actually born at Plainview, Texas, Gay adopted Los Angeles in his first year, later enrolling in Laurel Gram- mar School. These six years were followed by three at Bancroft junior High, then graduating to Fairfax. Gay's active past in school activity reached a near climax as President of the Boys' Assize Court during the first term of the year. His ex' cellent record in this capacity recommended him to the student body for the office to which they next elected him, that of Lord High Commisf sioner of Fairfax.

At Fairfax the legislative duties of the school are vested in the Colonial Council, an elective body of 19 members, presided over by the Lord High Commissioner of the school. The members of the Council all fall in one of three classiications. First there are those ofhf cers who are chosen specifically by the student body to occupy certain positions on the Counf cil. These are elected at the end of every semesf 22 Girls' Athletics President MR. RAE G. VAN CLEVE TOM FREEAR Principal Lord High Commissioner ter to serve the following term. Secondly, there are those Commissioners who are appointed by the outgoing Council members to fill their posts during the following semester. These appoint' are also made at the conclusion of a work. In the third classification aye placed all those who become members through being elected the head of a school organization ments term's by that group. These elections are naturally held at the first opportunity for the organization meet. Once a week the Colonial Council meets in the council room to consider the business of the school. It is the duty of each member to champion the rights of the section of the school which he has been chosen to represent. Attendf ing each meeting is H. C. Backer who acts as faculty sponsor. Q It is the duty of the'Council to formulate the decisions and rulings necessary for the manage' ment of the school. In its hands it holds the purse strings of the student body and all expenf ditures made from the treasury must first be approved by this body. That the democratic method of school man' agement has not failed is conclusively shown by the capable manner in which the Councils have performed their duties in the year just passed. A large part of the credit for the smooth running of these school matters must be given to Tom Freear who guided the W'37 Council, and to Gay Pryor to whom the S'37 Council looked for leadership.

BOYS' ASSIZE COURT First Semester The Boys' Assize Court operates in cooperaf tion with the student body and the Council in maintaining an eflicient government through the making and enforcing of laws necessary to the school's welfare The Court, headed the Fall semester by Gay Pryor, meets once a week. Three divisions of the Court which meet as often as necessary are the Jury committee, whose duty is judging offenders, the Assembly committee, guardians of order in the auditor' ium, and the Lawn committee, to whom belongs the task of keeping our campus in order. KNIGHTS First Semester Since the time when they were organized un' der the supervision of VicefPrincipal Swan, the Colonial Knights have always endeavored to carry out in all their acts their motto, For the Honor of the School . During the fall semester Chief Knight john Snow wielded the gavel while the Knights com' pleted their many deeds of service. A primary duty is the keeping of order in the Assemblies. Charge of the athletic area during sports events and the study hall during rainy lunch periods is also under Knight jurisdiction. 24 W'37 KNIGHTS include: Back Row: R. Catterlin, H. Barneson, T.

GIRLS' ASSIZE COURT First Semester In the student government system the law making and enforcing body for the girls of Fairfax is the Girls' Assize Court. The twenty girls comprising the Court, elected by their ref spective grades, supervise the care of the cam' pus, order in the cafeteria, inspection of the lockers, and keeping order in the halls and as- semblies. For the fall semester of officers were janet Champion, elected president by the stu' dent body, Aura Mae Austin, vicefpresident, joan Sweeney, secretary, and Lorraine Darling, treasurer, elected by the Court. ALPHAS First Semester The Alphas are composed of fifteen girls chosen for their scholastic achievements and ability in leadership, and are sponsored by Mrs. Brown, Girls' VicefPrincipal. Many services are performed by this organization, which acts in the service of the poor of our city, the student body as a whole, and especially the new stu' dents of the school. During the fall semester the Alphas chose Aura Mae Austin as their president to represent them as the friendly inf telligent girl which they all aspire to be. Their blue sweater is a badge of service. W'37 ALPHAS include: Brick Row: D. Vaughan, J. Miller, K. Murtagh, F. Har- w-ood. K. Mullane, J. Cham- IHOP. Front Row: C. Hor- owitz. J. Binning, A.

BOYS' ASSIZE COURT Second Semester Under the guidance of Bob Becker, the Boys' Assize Court concluded many worth while prof jects during the Spring semester. In his work the president is aided by the usual officers of the Court. As well there are in charge of the varif ous divisions the Commissioners of Halls, As' semblies, Campus, Publicity, Prosecution, jury, and Lawns. An innovation this year was the Safety Com' mittee, an auxiliary body founded by the Court, each member of which recruited two members, one to serve in the halls each lunch period. KNIGHTS Second Semester The many sided duties of the Colonial Knights, directed during the spring semester by Chief Knight Bruce jacques, are planned in their Monday meetings with Mr. Swan. Co' sponsorship of a Girls' League Dance with the Alphas and participation in the Clean Campus Campaign were valuable tasks undertaken by this organization. The sale of baseball tickets is another of the jobs which keep the Knights busy. Their aim is to act as an intermediary between the faculty and the students, and so bring closer cooperation. 26 S'3T KNIGHTS include: Back Razr: R. Catterlin, J. Isenberfz, B. Goddaril. G. Cardwell.

All girls summoned to the Court are given a jury trial. A plea of guilty or not guilty is entered, the girl is questioned, and the jury renders its verdict. A guilty verdict will bring the offender either demerits or detention. Joan Sweeney, vicefpresident, Lorraine Darf ling, secretary, and Etta Sugarman, treasurer, are the other ofhcers elected for this term. The Court is sponsored by Iviiss E. L. Wood. ALPHAS C Second Semester E5 .1 . 'N is 'Q .1 YF. N s REQ Ex N s -5 The Alphas, this year as always, have enfgi, Q gaged in many activities aimed at service to, . . ls' their school. Vocational talks were sponsored., to enlighten Fairfax girls. Once again their? Apple Day was held for the benefit of the poor. Another example of their valuable work was the familiarizing of the B 10's with the class rooms and grounds. Adding color and original' ity to their usual activities the Alphas sold gay football dolls and suckers. During the spring term this organization chose jean Miller to lead them as president.

HOMEROOM PRESIDENTS Lower Division The presidents of the individual homerooms have met and acted as a group during the year. The presiding officers of the upper division and lower division homerooms have worked in two groups. Their main topic of discussion has been the problems of their rooms and especially the forums and how they may be made to run more smoothly. These forums are given a trial hear' ing and discussion at the meetings of the ollicers who then return to their rooms to deliver the material to the homeroom students. Forums were held each month. SERVITORS First Semester Each semifannual student body and Council election has found a small number of those running for office being elected and a far greatf er number of students, often as well qualified, being defeated. It was to take advantage of their willingness to serve that a new organizaf tion, the Servitors, was formed, composed of defeated candidates for school ofhces and sponf sored by Principal Van Cleve. To be eligible for membership one must be the second high' est candidate for an oihce and receive the ap' proval of the members of the organization. 28 W'3T SERVITORS include: Flowers, B. Figgre, J.

Ralston. HOMEROOM PRESIDENTS Upper Division In their weekly meetings the homeroom presif dents have endeavored to learn how to more eff fectively carry out their respective forums. These forums, based on school problems, first written by a Forum Committee, whose efforts for the school have been great indeed. Jackie Binning, Jean and joon Gay, jack Elliot, George Barlow, Gay Pryor, and jean Altshuler are the members comprising this committee. Through this system a great deal more of valuable information conf cerning school problems is transmitted to the homeroom members. SERVITORS Second Semester At weekly meetings in Mr. Van Cleve's otiice the Servitors planned the many activities which they have carried to completion in the past year. During the term of Stanley Gortikov, Fall sef limester president, perhaps the most important undertaking was the Community Chest drive, so successfully directed that the school quota was more than filled. The next semester, under the leadership of George Bush, the Servitors featured work on the Clean Campus Campaign. The Servitors labored to make Fairfax more attractive place.

Q . f I Commonly associated with shiny crimson apples and considered by many as intellectual giants, the Prometheans, Fairfax honor students, far surpassed themselves during the past year in setting outstanding precedents in both social and service activities under the benevolent guidf ance of Mrs. Phyllis Davis, faculty sponsor. Always keeping in mind their motto Scholarf ship for Service the society, undertook added charity work and social endeavors with Charlotte Horowitz and Bernice Linden, president and vicefpresident, both of whom were refelected, providing the needed stimulus. At Thanksgiving and Christmas times when everyone was thinking of the fat turkey in the ice box, our adopted school, Hammel Street, was not forgotten. Baskets of food containing com' plete feasts with all the trimmings were assembled and sent by the Prometheans.

W'37 OFFICERS include: H. Sandberg, D. Kiechle. D. Han- ' lon, B. Jackson. Using the theme and name of Vikings as a basis for its Senior activity, the class of Winter '37 etablished an enviable record of daring and originality. During ,the Senior B semester the Vikings resolved to become the first class in the history of Fairfax to adopt a class name. This name and the class colors of red and grey were soon chosen. Following this, many more ideas which proved to be traditionfforming were car' ried to completion. Under the leadership of Class Presidents Gayle Foltz and Dick Keichle and the sponsor' ship of Miss Baxter, the Vikings endeavored to emulate throughout the year the characterisf tics of their Norse forebearers, employing the nautical motif whenever possible. Other officers elected to administer the class duties were Don Hanlon, vicefpresidentg Betty Jackson, secretaryg and Helen Sandberg, treasurer. Class activities of which Winter '37 is justly proud include the showing of two motion pic' tures, Shipmates Forever, and Captain Blood, both suggested by the marine thought of the Vik' ing name. As another attempt to establish a pref cedent, the Senior boys began wearing neckties to school. Still another duty taken over by this class was the support of a Girls' League Dance at which the B 10's were made the special guests of the Senior A's. The climax of Senior activity is the yearly Extravaganza. Under Viking supervision this production took form as a successful musical show known as the Mardi Gras . Many un' usual features were incorporated in the producf tion which was written and acted with Viking talents. i'All in all, says Miss Baxter, speaking of the Senior Class which she sponsored, and of which she is so proud, the Class of Winter '37 was outstanding in leadership. 33 , iv We ., , , ...

W WM MIM V M bww-W. gffw MM-ff-fb ffl Q I S37 Cfficers . . . were chosen to lead the Class of S'37 along the trail of courage and manliness blazed by their ideals and namesakes, the Lancers. I , S'37 OFFICERS include: Back Row: B. Jacques, A. Ras- mussen. F'7'0'ILt Row: L. VVa1'd, J. Sweeney, E. Strouse. At the beginning of its emergence into the limelight as a Senior class, S'37 adopted the name of Lancers , In the year following the Lancers have used that name and the signifif cance back of it as the dominant feature of their class activities. They have particularly carried out their theme by using a helmet, suggested by the class name, as the insignia on their pins and sweaters. Class sweaters and banner were both of the white and navy blue colors chosen for '37, first displayed at the class picture, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town . Sponsored by Miss Scheck and guided through the two Senior terms by twicefelected Class President Art Rasmussen, the Class of S'37 kept well occupied with the many activities in which they engaged. Assistance in the manage' ment was rendered by other elected class ofhcers, VicefPresident Bruce Jacques, Secretary Joan Sweeney, and Treasurer Esther Strouse. All the class ofhcers were refelected from the Senior B semester with the exception of Secretary ,loan Sweeney, replacing Kay Mullane, and La Verne Ward, who became assistant treasurer. The success of the numerous endeavors in which the Lancers have engaged is indeed a comf pliment to their planning ability. During their Senior B term they were always glad to offer, and during their Senior A term to accept, chalf lenges. It was this attitude that drew them into the many athletic and scholarship contests in which they have vied with other classes. To take care of the social side of their program a Lanf cerfsponsored Girls' League Dance was held. For the first time the Senior Extravaganza was this year entirely written and acted by Senior students. Produced on May 27 and 28 and known as Makefup , this performance, script, music, lyrics, and all, was the work of Senior minds. When speaking of the Senior class which she has led as sponsor, Miss Scheck often proudly states, The most remarkable fact about the Class of S'37 is the unusual cooperative spirit which it is always evidencing. 41 wi K.

W'38 OFFICERS include: Back Row: P. Geraahty, M. Myers. Front Row: J. Anderson, J. Harlan. The opening of the spring semester found a new Senior class coming into being. The Class of W'38 went through all the traditional steps in organizing from many individual home rooms into one united and loyal class. At its first meeting this class was called to order by its sponsor, Ivliss Marks, who turned the meet' ing over to Mr. Swan, acting as Principal in Mr. Van Cleve's absence, who gave the open' ing address. The close of the period of organization found the oflicers elected, pin and colors chosen, name selected, and committees appointed. It was then that this Senior B class was ready to carry on the traditional rivalry with the Senior A's. The Falcons, as this class chose to be named, elected their oflicers at their second meeting, at which time Mr. Van Cleve, then recovered from his illness, spoke to them. These officers who have guided the Falcons during the rest of the semester are Jack Harlan, president, Janet Anderson, vicefpresidentg Pauline Gerf aghty, secretary, Mary Myers, treasurer. To assist them in their work volunteers from the class were organized into several committees. For their class colors the Falcons chose the combination of Kelly green and gray. The guards to their Senior pins are of a design rep' resenting a Falcon with wings upraised. The first activity in which members of the Class of W'38 were asked to participate was the annual Extravaganza, given in collaboration with the Senior A's. Great numbers of Senior B's assisted in this year's production, known as Makeup , and played on May 28. Greatly heightened was the feeling of rivalry between the Senior A's and the Senior B's folf lowing the interfclass basketball game. This contest, for which each class had prepared hurf riedly in the few days allotted them, ended in a tie. During the first ten weeks of this semester both Senior classes engaged in a scholarship conf f6SlZ. The Falcons gained prominence at the time of the climax of Senior B activity, the class pic' ture. On April the twentieth they presented The King Steps Out as their Senior B Elm. Thus under the guiding hand of Class Sponf sor Miss Marks, and under the leadership of their hardfworking oflicers have the Senior B Falcons engaged in many activities, endeavor' ing to prove their class excellence. 1 ,.'E ... .gk HOMEROOMS 231, 158 include: Back Row: L.

COMMISSIONER OF ORAL ARTS GEORGE BUSH AND W'37 DEBATE XVINNERS DON WALKER AND EDDIE BROWN. High oratorical honors for the year should go to George Bush who served his school as rep' resentative and victor in the HeraldfExpress Extemporaneous Cratorical Contest, and as Com' missioner of Oral Arts for the fall semester. His debating schedule, carried out under the guidance of Miss Martin, sponsor of this activf ity, included the greatest number of students up to that time ever to show interest in interf class debating. They debated the topic, Ref solved that the Federal Government should own and operate the munitions industry. The A 10 team, composed of Don Walker and Eddie Brown, carried the affirmative ban' ner to victory in this contest. In the spring semester 32 debators, more than ever before, were called together by Eugene Kahn, Commissioner of Ural Arts, to debate Resolved that the extension of consumers cof operatives would contribute to the public wel' fare. Former debating champions, experienced debators, and many newcomers were included among these orators. GEORGE BUSH Extemponmeous Oratorical Contest Winner 63 The 1937 Colonial . . . is produced by the Annual Staff which aims to make this publication different than ever before, an accurate and colorful picture of school life at Fairfax. A different book: this has been the main objective of this year's Annual Staff. Our aim has been to make the 1937 Colonial a publicaf tion that would be of interest to every reader, whether he be fully acquainted with Fairfax or has no knowledge of our school. We have en' deavored to present the old and necessary inf formation in a new manner that would interest those who know it already and enlighten those who do not. It has been our ambition and duty to prof duce an Annual of which Fairfax may be proud. We of the Staff have endeavored to put down in print and in picture the color and interest of our school events, to capture that escapable spirit that makes Fairfax what it is. How well we have succeeded is to be deter' mined by you, the reader, as you scan these pages. , The guiding hand of the Annual Staff has been Harry C. Underwood, who undertook to make this, the sixth annual he has supervised, the most attractive and interesting of all. The editorial division of the Staff has been small this year. Working on the production end of the Colonial have been Marion Walker, Jean Weldon, Norman Dowds, and David Gelfan. Marion undertook the great task of managing the Senior sections of the book. Jean has been a willing and able helperqwherever needed, working mainly on picture captions and typing. To Norman fell the task of writing the copy concerning the organizations pictured in the book. David has taken the job of presenting the sports section of the publication. The business staff for the 1937 Colonial has functioned-under the direction of Henry O. Backer. Betty Bialek and Barend Keit have been in charge of circulation, picture fee col' lection, and all of the financial arrangements EDITORIAL STAFF includes: M. VValker, H. Underwood, N. Dowds, J. Weldon. 64 ANNUAL STAFF includes: Back Rmv: A. Doctor, H. Backer, H. Underwood, B. Kcit. First Row: N. Dowds, B. Bailek, J. Weldon, M. Walker, D. Gelfan. which are necessary for an activity as large as the production of this publication. The solicitf ing of advertising has been under the direction of Albert Doctor, third member of the busif ness staff. Purposely, the Staff has been limited in size. Because of its limited numbers, much of the confusion and duplication noted in former years has been eliminated. This decrease in size, though, has also brought about an increase in responsibility of each member. In order to get the book out on time it was necessary to adopt and follow a rigid schedule. It has meant long hours and never ending work for the Staff to produce this book. If reading this book gives you a clear and interesting view of our school, of the spirit that is Fairfax, then we will be satisfied, and our labors will not have been wasted. Clear pictures and interesting action shots arranged in new and attractive layouts are, the Annual Staff believes, the prime requisites for a successful book. Coupled with this is needed a short, clear statement of facts to accompany them, which, in spite of its brevity, will hold the reader's interest. These factors the Annual Staff hopes to have brought together in the 1937 Colonial. BUSINESS STAFF includes: B. Bialek, H. Backer, B. Keit. 65 6475 Gazette . . . is the publication which for twelve years has thoroughly covered the news of the school, offering as well features and sections of interest to every mem- ber of the student body. Every Friday, third period, for twelve years, the Colonial Gazette has been distributed to more than fifteen hundred subscribers. Gazette staff members, through beats and assignments given out by the editor, endeavor to cover thorf oughly the news of the school. Through the editorials, the paper strives to mould the stu- dent's opinion to further the best interests of Fairfax. The lighter and more amusing side of school life is not neglected, for the Gazette is famed for its interesting columns, such as the Social Lion and the Corridor Cat. The Gazette is published by the members of the journalism classes under the supervision of Mrs. Jessie Stromberger, and printed by boys directed by Mr. Halmer Gustaveson in the print shop, The Gazette for the W'37 semester was dif rected by Stanley Gortikov, who served as edif tor. Assisting him in the managing of the paper were Mason Flowers and Marcelle Jabour. At the beginning of the summer semester Marcelle .labour took over the duties of the editorship, for which she had been training the semester before. To aid her were chosen Fred Laybhen and Fred Shroeder, acting as assistant editors. The sports staff was headed during the year by Ward Payne, Henry Jewett, and John Pearson, sports editors. The Gazette business staff included Albion Urdank, who acted as advertising manager for the year, and Victor Mohr, who handled the circulation. The eight full pages of the Gazette were filled during 1937 with a greater display of inf teresting reading material than perhaps ever before. This fact might be accounted for by the great increase of advertising which found its way into the pages, whose accompanying payments naturally make possible a better pa' per. New columns broke into print and old ones appeared under new heads. The writers were changed every five weeks. GAZETTE STAFF WORKING includes: M. Whitmore, E. Roberts, J. Stromberger, B. Barsky, D.

Gustaveson 67 Creative Writing Year Book . . . presents to the school and to the outside the leading literary efforts in poetry and prose of Colonial writers, collected and bound in this attractive publica- tion. Outstanding literary efforts of Fairfax students are presented to view every year through the Creative Writing Yearbook. Sponsored by the English department, this publication is directed by its head, Mr. Goddard. More than any other factor, perhaps, the Yearbook has done much to bring fame to Fairfax. Its unusual and excellent features have brought forth much favorable comf ment, both among paid subscribers and their conf tacts and the various and distant places to which the book is sent. Included within the Y earbook's pages are many selections, segregated in the different departments of the book according to whether they concern humor, romance, nature, or adventure. These are written in poetry or prose by the members of the student body themselves. This fact, coupled with the nominal price of the book, hich brings it within easy reach of everyone, m es it very pop' ular among the students. Ev aspiring author and his friends delight in seeing his contribution and his name printed and bound. This year the Yearbook has been whipped inf to shape by Marjorie Michaels, editor, -aided by Jeanne Altschuler, assistant editor. Under their guidance its material has been gathered together and made ready for publication. Its many pages of interesting reading matter have been enclosed in a grey cover on which is printed a sketch of the school. Of especial note was the novel and interesting sales campaign which netted eight hundred paid subscriptions. This was conducted chiefly through the English classes, and credit for its handling goes largely to Alma Dewyn, business manager. Joe Wolfskill was assistant to the manager. This drive came to a glorious climax with a skit given in the auditorium humorously and triply titled, HA New Way to Pay Old Debts , or Hearts and Flowers , or It's DefLovely . YEARBOOK STAFF includes: M. Michaels, J. Altschuler, A. Dewyn, J. Wolfskill. 68 Drama . . . gives those interested in it the chance not only to study this art, but furnishes the opportunity to practice their teachings in frequent plays on the school stage. The full and busy year of the Drama Def partment is made possible only through the co' operation of many persons and departments in the school. The regular yearly program calls for a threefact Senior Play, presented during the fall semester, and an original Senior Ex' travaganza for the spring semester. In between these, however, are sandwiched many other draf matic productions and activities. Before men' tioning others, highest credit should go to Miss Araxie Jamgochian, director of all productions. In cooperation with her, though, regardless of what is presented, works a multitude of helpers. This group, whose work is perhaps the great- est in connection with the Extravaganza, is a combination of the talents of many depart' ments. This year Mr. Rice has been in charge of the orchestra for the many presentations in which it participated. The vocal music has been directed by Mrs. Horton. When dancing has been included it has been under the direction of Mrs. Sprague. Sets have been designed and painted by Mr. Kurvers, and then constructed by Mr. Lee, whose duty has also been the man' agement of the stage. The costuming has been under thedirection of Miss Eberts. Programs are printed at Fairfax under the direction of Mr. Gustaveson. A publicity committee, this year headed by Miss Newby and Miss Moore, in cooperation with Mrs. Stromberger and the Colonial Gazette, keeps the dramatic producf tion fresh in the public's and studentls mind. Then there is the great amount of typing of scripts which is done under the direction of Miss Colville. Mr. Conway is always in charge of the ticket sales, while the R.O.T.C. provides the ushers. Finally there is the poster publicity work which is done by the Sign Companies un- der the direction of Mr. Paxton. Thus it may be seen that although the actual ? '4 .ninja as CHRISTMAS PANTOMINE Presented on the stage while the members of the music department told the Christmas story in song. i 69 dramatic instruction is under the direction of Miss jamgochian, a great corps of workers is needed to make any production a success. The fact that the dramatic presentations of Fairfax are always worthwhile is a compliment to this hardfworking group and to those who have asf sisted them. Oneiof the first productions of the year was the annual Christmas Pantomime. This was pre- sented with the cooperation of the Music Def partment, whose vocalizing from the balcony was heard while dramatic abilities were dis, played on the stage. A large group of students from the beginning Drama classes took the parts of this pantomime. Its first half had a Dickens theme while the last portion concerned the ref ligious side of Christmas. These pantomimes were all original thoughts of the Drama depart' merit. This is perhaps the most outstanding fact about this year's dramatics, that the creation as well as the acting is a Fairfax endeavor. The next important 'presentation Awas the Senior threefact play, 'iThe Charm School . A large Senior cast worked with that great group of technical workers already mentioned to make this play notable, As its title suggests, this play concerned the happenings at a school to make girls charming. In its cast were Mary Jo Kenf elly, Douglas Heyes, Carolyn Jackson, Berjouhie Haroutunian, Virginia Hamlin, Vaughn Taylor, Dwight Jones, Wolfe Gilberts, Roy Sommers, and Kate Ellen Murtagh. As well as the combined performances, inf dividuals from the Drama department are given opportunities to appear in their own right. Mar' garet Harris of the Drama class won first place in the comedy division for schools over 1,500 enrollment of the Shakespearean Contest. Another division in the Drama department is the Public Speaking classes. As well as their usual assigned speeches they sometimes present luncheons with invited guests, at which after' dinner speeches are given. From those classes two speakers were chosen to talk over the radio during Boys' Week. These boys so honored were Blaine Stevens and Milton Rudin. The next and perhaps most complicated draf matic production presented was the Senior Ex' travaganza. It is this yearly effort that calls into use every piece of the complicated machinf ery of interfdepartment cooperation. This year's production was given the title of MakefUp and presented in an afternoon performance on May 27 and an evening performance on May 28. A huge cast of singers, dancers, and actors was indeed needed, and the student body ref sponded whole heartedly to the call. Long hours of practice and rehearsal followed before the finished product was ready for show. MakefUp was unique as an Extravaganza in that every part of it was created by Fairfax. Greatest single achievement for L'MakefUp was the work done by the twins, jeen and Joon Cay. Under the guidance of Mrs. Davis of the Eng' THE CHARM SCHOOL Clever acting and smoothness of performance characterized this yeafs Senior play. 70 SCENES FROM MA14EfUP , THE SENIOR EXTRAVAGANZA w L 1 f T I i , V ra , ' , I ,- x ' . !

Other leading parts in the Extravaganza were taken by Kate Ellen Murtagh, Mary ,Io Kennelf ly, Elena De Blanco, Helen Camin, Isobel Estes, Virginia Loofborrow, Mary Lung, Ted Dunk, Bob Hauser, Stever Cardwell, Wolfe Gilbert, Bill Altemus. and Robert Lynds. A field which partly comes within the scope of the Drama department is Student Talent. It is the duty of the Assistant Lord High Com' missioner, who is elected by the student body, to present those students who have talent in monthly auditorium programs. This job was performed during the fall semester by Ira Bar' zilay and during the spring term by Kate Ellen Murtagh. It is the duty of the Drama departf ment to assist in these assemblies with plays and 72 short dramatic productions. Students with vocal, dancing, instrumental, or acting ability may be given their start toward success along these lines on the Fairfax stage. Outstanding features which Drama contributes included a onefact skit presented by the Advanced Drama class. This humorous play was written by Vaughn Taylor of that class and had a hillbilly setting. Another distinguished presentation was a series of impersonations which pleased the student body greatly at the assembly at which it was given. Taking the parts of the Pixilated Sisters were Lucille Kodek and Nancy Ross. Miss Saymore Saymore appeared in the person of,Annette Neesbaum. Pauline Geraghty was distinguished as Garbo while Helen Camine acted as Simone Simon. Vaughn Taylor and Margaret Harris were seen as Wallace Berry and Tizzie Lish. Music . . . is furnished for school needs through this department and its several organizations in which are enrolled those students with vocal and instrumental tal- ents. School activities at Fairfax are greatly en- riched by the participation of the musical or' ganizations. These include the Girls' Glee Club, the boys' musical organization known as the Colonial Chanters, the Orchestra, and the Band. All these organizations in union produce two great semifannual programs. During the winter, one with a Christmas theme is given, while in june the combined spring musical fesf tival is produced. As well as these united actions, each organ- ization has duties and activities of its own. The Girls' Glee Club sings under the direction of Mrs. Bower. This group has been led during the spring semester by its president, Frances Leslie. The members of the Girls' Glee Club have often appeared upon the auditorium stage, delighting the student body with their musical offerings. Known as the Colonial Chanters, the boys' musical organization is very active in the pres' entation of their vocal talents. The Chanters have been sponsored by Mrs. McLaughlin, and presided over by Don Swan, fall semester pres' ident, and Carl Barbey, spring semester presif dent. Their accompanist has been Jessie Car' ruthers. They have done their share of musical work, both as a single group and in the comf bined programs. Meeting not altogether as a musical group, however, the Chanters have also engaged in social activities. An example of this is the dance which they sponsored in June. On the outside, the Chanters have well represented Fairfax with their talents. Perhaps the out' standing occasion of this sort is their radio per' formance on June eighth. K Mr. Rice has been in charge of the instruf mental division of the music section. Under his direction is the Orchestra, which has cooperf ated in the department musical programs and done valuable work on the Extravaganza. The Concert Master of the Orchestra has been Jack Harlan. The Fairfax Band, also under Mr. Rice's di' rection, acts not only as a marching unit of the R,O.T.C., but gives pleasure through its play' ing in auditorium meetings. Drum Major this year is Arthur Moore, and Dick Bigge is leader.

The musical organizations are at once the most colorful and perhaps the most active of Fairfax groups. Wherever is found an entertainment to the liking of the student body, there may be found the artistry of one of these groups. The most notable fact about these musical orf ganizations is that they represent the school not only in regular school activities, but exhibit their talents before the outside world. Examples of this sort are found in the records of every one of these groups. The vocal groups are sometimes heard upon the radio and sometimes before an adult audience.

Finally, of course, the Band is seen at athletic contests, at which they are shown not only to the public, but to the students of the neighboring schools. It is to the Music department, then, that Fair' fax is largely indebted for the spreading of its fame abroad. People on the outside who would otherwise not come into Contact with the activif ties at Fairfax are brought into this knowledge by the Music department. Of course the usual du' ties of the Band, Orchestra, Chanters, and Girls' Glee Club should not be discounted, for the mu- sical talents of these groups add greatly to the or' dinary routine of school life at Fairfax.

K . x , - 7 S The Fairfax Clubs . . . are many organizations comprised of a great number of students whose desire to be of service to the school and desire for fellowship is best fulfilled through union with a club. In the life of Fairfax, important and vital parts are the many organizations and clubs of the school. Some of these meet for social purf poses, some in cooperation with larger socief ties, some with some special duty to perform, but all keep in mind that their primary objecf tive is service. At the head of the club organ' ization is the Commissioner of Clubs. This oihcer is elected by the Colonial Council and serves as a member of it. Rigid restrictions are maintained for every club and all must live up to certain rules. Enforcing these restrictions as Commissioner of Clubs during the fall semesf ter was Elizabeth Koerner. This office was held during the spring semester by Irma Weiskopf. Each school club must have a faculty sponsor to meet with and advise the organization. A .M great deal of time and energy is expended by these teachers and to them is due greatcredit. In some respects, all clubs are alike be' cause they must all conform to certain rules. In another light, however, every club has diff ferent interests and facts which make it unlike any other group. For this reason no general article can successfully dispose of the subject of clubs, A few words regarding each group are thus necessary to give a clear picture of the club section of school life at Fairfax. To students enrolled in the Social Arts classes is offered the chance to join the Dan' cing Club. With Miss Eberts in charge, these students endeavor to perfect their dancing and to better acquaint themselves with fellow stu' dents whom they otherwise would only see in SOCIAL ARTS DANCE CLUB includes: Back Row: L.

Operating as part of the national Young Men's Christian Association, the Fairfax Hi-Y cooperates in both the school and Y.M.C.A. programs. Coach Frank Schaffer acts as sponsor of this group. The HifY semifannual show, initiations, light blue sweaters, and dances are traditions of Fairfax. More than any other club, perhaps, the HifY endeavors to rememf ber Hammel Street School and their duties 'of service to Fairfax. Every Monday night their meetings take the form of a dinner at the Holf lywood Y.M.C.A. Cheerful and unerring service is always noted by those who trade at the Candy Stand.

Without their aid, this helpful service would be lost to Fairfax students. A student manager is appointed to take charge of the activities of the stand, which handles ice cream as well as candy, - In the office of the Girls' Gym is found an able and willing corps of workers. Girls who desire to be of service, to Fairfax find just such an opportunity in working in this ofhce. The many duties which are taken care of by the Girls' Gym Oiiice Workers do much to make the work of their teachers easier. Because of their efforts the ever moving gym program progresses smoothly.

Great credit is due this organization for their valuable service to the school. Their duties take up a great deal of the time of members of the Stage Crew, and are exceptionally heavy at the times of the Extravaganza and Senior Play. In the Art Department of our school there have been for many years student organizations which have adopted the tasks of advertising school events. Under the guidance of Mr. Paxf ton, these, the Sign Companies, have produced the many signs, posters, and displays which one notices in the halls of Fairfax. The last year has seen the birth and growth of a great num- ber of new such organizations and the continf uance of many older ones.

CLUBS unnoticed are vividly brought to the attention of the student body. This is a service for which the school is deeply indebted to the members of the Sign Companies. The Latin Club, sponsored by Miss Ringle, is open to all interested in the Roman life and civilization. Because the essentials of the Latin language take up so much time in class that an opportunity is not presented to learn the interesting details of the ancient life, this club offers the chance to study these facts. In their frequent meetings, members of the Latin Club may meet socially with fellow stu' dents with similar interests and discuss the subjects in which they wish to become more familiar. The opportunity to buy school supplies on the school grounds is given to the student body by the student store.

Excellence in quality has been the outstandf ing attraction of the Fairfax cafeteria. The acf complishment of this condition is credited to the many students who have worked long and hard with this goal in view. Supervising this corps of workers has been the duty of Mr. J. N. Conway. The utmost in speed and courtesy are the ideals for which they have been striv' ing, and it is this spirit that has made the Fair' fax cafeteria what it now is.

All of the girls of Fairfax are included in an organization known as the Girls' League. Conf sequently this becomes one of the largest and one of the most powerful groups in the school. Acting as faculty sponsor of this group is Mrs. Margiierite Behrman. The performing of charity work for their adopted school, Hammel Street, and the def velopment of a better spirit of friendship among the girls of Fairfax are the basic objecf tives of the Girls' League. The former is ac' complished through benefits, drives, and ap' peals. Their charity work is especially noticed during the holiday seasons. Christmas and Thanksgiving find huge trucks loaded with food, clothing, toys, and candy donated by the student body. These articles, for which the students of Hammel Street would otherwise be in need, are then distributed by representatives of the Girls' League. The spirit of friendliness among Fairfax girls is developed through the activities and meet' ings of this organization. At regular times dur' ing the year the girls meet as a body to enjoy a Girls' League program. The cooperation which is necessary to make their charity drives suc' cesses naturally brings a feeling of unity to the girls. A noteworthy activity of the League is the motion picture which they show. This year the Girls' League presented The Story of Louis Pasteur. Their first important activity in every term is the installation of the League officers. These twelve officers compose the cabinet, and are partly elected by the girls of the student body, and partly chosen by the preceding cabinet. The officers of the cabinet take care of the execf utive duties of the League. Under the direction of oneof them is each of the departments of Philanthropy, Finance, Publicity, Properties, and Assemblies. As well as the Commissioner uuxuo nur-xuum xanutuur nn.-mum..

Football at Fairfax The pigskin sport has always been the outstanding athletic attraction at Fairfax, has always drawn larger crowds than any other sport, and has brought more fame to Colonials than any other field of endeavor offered in the school. It may be the brisk autumn afternoons. It may be the opportunity to give vent to longfsmolderf ing school rivalry. Or it simply may be the sight of those crimson and gold clad heroes of the gridiron charging down the field that brings out such huge crowds of Fairfax students to wit? ness varsity football games. Whatever the rea' son may be, it has made the pigskin sport the most popular one in the school, as well as the most profitable one financially. The man responsible for Fairfax's notable successes on the gridiron is sagacious, taciturn, Coach Frank Shaffer, who takes his football ser' iously, believes in jinxes, and never gives up a ball game until the final gun goes off, and some' times not even then. The varsity mentor has an enviable record in his handling of Fairfax's foot' ball teams. ln the first few weeks of the fall term, Mr. Shaffer set about modeling a team from the sixty' five candidates who survived the spring-practice cut. Of the sixtyffive men, only three were let' termen, members of that illustrious, championf ship team of 1935. The monogramfwearers were tackles Leonard Bach and Del Lyman, and half' back Artie Rasmussen. Standing five feet nine inches and weighing two hundred and five pounds, with a barrelflike chest, Bach was the outstanding player of the trio, with three years of playing experience to his credit. Lyman was a big and speedy tackle while Rasmussen was a dependable blocker, playing his third year with the varsity. With the two veteran tackles forming the backbone of the line, Coach Shaffer developed includes: Back Row: E. Lee Ward, J. Isenberfz, M. Perdue. J. Kisselberg, R. Gowling, M. Beck, Terry, C. Liepzig, D. Lyman, Capt. L. two running guards of almost equal abilit? in 7714 Q V. Mohr, B. Monaham, B. Henderson, R. Clifford, D. Huston, B. : M. Margolin, D. Hanlon, A. Rasmussen, G. Foltz, J.

Senior Ned Kendall and Junior Steve Cardwell. Stocky, twofhundred pound Ivan Breetwor, the Mad Russian , was rated over angular Neil Ny' berg at the other guard spot in the prefseason training period. Fleetffooted, flyfchasing base' ball player Bob Pickarts found his speed enough of an asset to win for him a firstfstring end berth, while powerful blocker Carl Leipzig emerged as the other regular wingfman over passfcatchers Bert Terry and Gayle Foltz. Sherf win Fries, a tenthfgrader, Wally Larson, a Jun' ior, and Fred Billings, a Senior, ended up in that order of preference for the center position. Sadly lacking in Coach Shaffer's roster was an experienced quarterback. The job of signal callf ing was finally bestowed on stentorianfvoiced jim Kisselburgh. One hundred and forty pound track star Don Hanlon became firstfstring full' back, his speed and elusive hips making him the Coach's ace ball carrier. The trick was to spring him in to the open and then watch him run. Ralph Gowling took over the left halfback jobg Rasmussen dominated the other wingfback spot. Backfield reserves numbered Jerry Briskin, Jack Erwig, Don Houston, Ray Clifford, Frank Kelly. Coach Jim Blewett led a comparatively experf ienced football team to Van Cleve field October 2, eager to avenge the previous year's beating. And the Toilers gained their revenge by conf quering the Shaffermen 16f6, As knowing Coach Shaffer put it, the Fairfax varsity was not ready to win ball games yet .

HAMILTON UNIVERSITY EAGLE ROCK Hanlon broke through tackle and eluded Mr. Blewett's veteran backfield men to chalk up the Colonial score on a thrilling sixtyfyard run. Def spite the presence of allfcity center Johnny Scolinos, the winner's forward wall was not su' perior to the slowfcharging but powerful line of the Colonials. The Western League season opened October 9 with Fairfax playing Venice in the first game. A thousand Colonials traveled to the beach school to see their Red and Gold team conquer the Gondoliers by a score of 1210. Despite the low score, the game was a onefsided affairg the Venice squad put up a stubborn defense at times but could not penetrate the Fairfax forward wall. The one time the Gondolier crew got pos' session of the ball in Colonial territory fon a fumblej, their runs were smeared and their passes blocked. Don Hanlon flipped a twenty' yard pass to Art Rasmussen for the iirst touch' down and drove five yards through tackle for the other. Rasty crossed the goal line again with a pass from Kisselburgh but a penalty made the score void. The same pair did some nice pass defense workg the outstanding playing, howf ever, was done by the much improved line. It was a sad day for Fairfax when they un' derestimated the strength of a Hollywood team smarting from a stinging defeat at the hands of University. Overconfldence played a leading role in the downfall of the Colonials as the Redshirts 91 STOPPED BY took advantage of numerous lucky breaks to edge out a 6fO win. The local lads were clearly not playing at their best and only in the final quarter, after Hollywood's Rex Frazier had scored on a pass from teammate Martin Fisher, did they snap out of their slump. Then, through sheer superior power, they drove their way through the visitor's line until they neared scorf ing territory, when Ned Kendall, covered by three Sheik backs, made a remarkable catch of Jim Kisselburghls running pass, to bring the ball to the tenfyard line. The line opened up huge holes in the desperate but weakening Redshirt forward wall as Don Houston carried the ball to THE 91 by tffr Wafffofzo 49. 92 SECONDARY. the onefyard line with but seconds left to play. Eagerly the Colonials rushed up to the line of scrimmage to gain those last few inchesg much too eagerly, however, as a confused center snapped the ball to the wrong man and Holly' wood ufrozen the ball for the few remaining sec' onds of the game. Cn the following Friday, Coach Shaffer took his team to LA. high school to provide what was supposed to be a Roman holiday. On the conf trary, Rome burned with embarrassment as its highly touted team was completely outplayed by the determined Colonial eleven that put up a gallant battle, only to lose the game on another bad break. The turning point came in the third quarter when L.A.'s jess Faris picked up a punt that had been downed by Fairfax end Carl Leip- zig and galloped away unmolested for a touch' down while the referee sought his whistle. Dis' heartened by the score, the Colonials fumbled on their twentyfyard line, allowing the Romans to score again. Still refusing to acknowledge def feat, the Fairfax eleven scored seven points on Don Hanlon's twentyfyard scamper and place kick in the fourth quarter. Finally, with the end of the game drawing near, the Colonials filled the air with passes, penetrating to the twenty' five yard stripe where the tardy referee awarded the ball to LA. when Bert Terry dropped a pass after being hit by a Roman. It can be truly said that Fairfax came out ahead in everything but the actual score. The Shaffermen let out all their anger on a A LION DIVES FOR THE BALL'CARRIER weak Hamilton outfit that visited Van Cleve field October 30 and returned home soundly thrashed by a score of 38fO, the Colonials scorf ing two and three touchdowns a quarter. The victory, however thrilling, was a costly one for Fairfax as star tackle Leonard Bach and flashy ballfcarrier Don Hanlon received injuries that kept them out of the allfimportant University game. k A, win over Unihi was needed to put the Colonials in second place and give them a chance in the city playfoffs. Although crippled, the Fairfax varsity allowed their conidence to get the best of them again when they journeyed to the Warrior gridiron November 6 for their last league game. The Unihi eleven was out' weighed but had enough fight to hold off the Colonials in the first quarter and score a touchf down and conversion on Mario Vasquez's two pass catches and placefkick. Several minutes latf er, Jack Erwig sprinted through a wide hole in the Unihi line and eighty yards down the field for a touchdown. A fake placefkick completely fooled the Warriors on the attempted converf sion, but the pass for the extra point was just a bit wide of the intended receiver, who was all alone overfgoal. The one point margin was enough to win the game despite the fact that the Colonials smashed their way down the Held to the Warrior threefyard line in the third quarf terg here they threw away their chance to score on an illftimed pass. A post season game with Eagle Rock gave Coach Shaffer a chance to alternate his Junior varsity fcomposed of returning playersj with the Seniors. Each squad scored two touchdowns as the Sentinels bowed by a 26f6 score. This tilt marked the last appearance of the 1936 Fairfax varsity whose performance was certainly better than its record indicated. If ever a ball was fumbled, Coach Shaffer's lads lost it. If ever a costly penalty was inflicted, Coach Shaifer's lads received it. If ever a touchdown pass was dropped, Coach Shaffer's lads dropped it. And though the jinxftrailed varsity players did not bring home a championship, they gave their best in an attempt to do so. 93 s Class B Football . . . although the size of the Class A variety is lacking among the partici- pants in this sport that fighting spirit which brings good, hard games is never missing. A smaller edition of the varsity, B football holds an important spot in Fairfax athletics. Largely dependent on speed and deception, the Bees put up some mighty thrilling battles. Grizzled, veteran coach Hugh Welsh, more familiarly known as Rules and Regulations , selected an experienced backfield for his 1936 lightweight eleven. Nimble ball carrier Eugene Grady, hardfrunf ning Floyd Sanesi, speedy track man Ed Moore, and Cee letterman A1 Hobson comprised the firstfstring backs. The less experienced line was made up of Harry De Silva and Burton Har- rington, ends, Don Wallace and Tom Middle' ton, tackles, Sid Fisher and Paul Dudley, guards, Tom Forman, center. Former traditional rivals of Fairfax, the Bel' mont Hilltoppers provided the opposition in a prefseason practice game that saw Coach Welsh's outht come out on the long end of a 12f8 score after four bristling quarters. In the opening game of the Western League season, the Colonial Bees passed and ran their way through the Venice lightweights to tri' umph 12fO. Although the Lions knocked at the threshold of the Redshirt goal line throughout the game, the Hollywood Bees won out in their tussle with Fairfax, 6fO, by virtue of a pass in the end zone. Handicapped by the loss of regulars Sanesi and Wallace, the Colonial eleven took an lSf6 beating from L.A.'s lightweights. Eugene Grady's brilliant 60 yard open field run for a touchdown kept the locals from being blanked. Coach Welsh's lads conquered Hamilton 12f0 in a drizzling rain as Eddie Moore passed to Burton Harrington for one score and ran around end for the other. Despite a touchdown run being called back, the Colonial Bees outlasted Unihi's Warriors to win the closing game of the season 6fO. B FOOTBALL includes: Back Row: F. Darrah, B. McVein, G. Davis, D.

Class C Football . . . although dropped in most city high schools continues in Fairfax, giv- ing the mighty midgets the opportunity to practice the pigskin art. Although the whole city produced only ive C teams, Fairfax was one of the schools that still managed to keep the smallest of football elevens. As no regular coach was available, Bee footf ball lettennan Ed Cartwright was appointed to pilot the little Colonials. Self-appointed assist' tant coach john Pearson completed the staff. Cartwright found a wealth of material from which to select his eleven. His firstfstring back' field consisted of passfthrower Judson Holden, fullback Red Small, wingbacks Terry Aton and Eddie McIntyre. Duga and Reichle, ends, Gibson and Nelson, tackles, Gagan and Sekef guchi, guards, and Captain Bob Tambert, cenf ter, comprised the forward wall. The Fairfax Cees traveled to Hamilton for the season opener and came out of the fray winf ner by two points. Ray Gagan was responsible for the only score of the game, he blocked a Federalist kick for a safety. Capable blocking ...IQ by the referee kept the locals from scoring a touchdown in the second quarter. A twenty yard touchdown pass won the Fair' faxfL.A. class C encounter for the Romans. Outside of that pass, the Lion Cees showed up well and were, according to Pearson, glorious in defeat . Two first half touchdowns proved too much of a lead for Fairfax to overcome as the Manual Arts Cee team triumphed 12f6. A last quarter pass, Holden to Dobson, connected for a touch' down, but Cartwright's outiit could chalk up no more points. After battling gamely in the hrst half of their game with San Pedro to produce a 6f6 dead' lock, the little Colonials folded up in the last two periods, allowing the Harbor team to score three more touchdowns to win, 256. End Duga recovered a San Pedro fumble in the sec' ond quarter, paving the way for Holden's seven yard line plunge to FairfaX's only tally. C FOOTBALL includes: Back Row: D. Duckett, J. Sparks, D.

For speed and excitement, basketball has no equal among major sports. And the art of rtossf ing the casaba through the hoop has been def veloped to a high degree on the hardwood floor at Fairfax high. Coming when it does, in the middle of win' ter, basketball often draws a capacity crowd of students who seek the thrill of watching the fastfmoving sport as well as shelter from the weather. The fact that Fairfax has enjoyed more than its share of success in this branch of athletics adds no little interest to the games. Not one of that valiant quintet that fought its way into a tie for the Western League chamf pionship the preceding year returned to the 1936 squad. But Ross Bowen, grave mannered mentor of the varsity five, again exhibited his wizardry on the basketball court by producing, in a few weeks, a smoothfworking team, cap- tained by Senior A president Dick Keichle, who earned his letter as a substitute last year. Keichle played forward, as did sharpfshooting, former B player, Wilbur Levy. Roughfriding Cowboy Bob Williamson held down the cenf ter position. The regular guards were Jack Hatfield and Frank Bakerg the latter alternated with former star B player Bill Simons. The practice game record of Bowen's squad was impressive as they won 12 out of 14 games, the Northern League champion Manual Arts was among the victims that fell before the fast' breaking Fairfax five. The Western Leagpe schedule provided for IS a twofgame each school in the includes: Back Row: N. Mulligan, B. Altshuler, B. Little, C. Lowe, S. Baliff, J. Elliot, B. Jacques. First Ro-zu: B.

First on the Colonial list was Universf ity high, whose hopes for victory were pinned on their Warriors nimble forward Gerald Sieck. The were handed two decisive defeats, however, as the Fairfax hoopsters atoned for Unihi's win on the gridiron. Keichle and Levy led the Colonial scoring with 1 and 10 points respectively, but the persistent Seick would not be denied and rang up 15 points to top the field, in the irst game. The return game found the Bowenmen playing without the services of highfscorer L'Wib Levy, and they experienced quite a bit more difficulty in beating the War' riors.

The first game was featured by the performance of versatile diamond and track star Frank Baker, who stepped into the vacant place left open by Hackus Hatfield who was injured. Baker asf sured himself of a iirstfstring berth with his brilliant passing and shooting, he led the scoff ing with ten points. Fairfax traveled to Venice for its first en' counter with the beach five. played on The game was a halffopen court that was swept with a chilling Ocean breeze, but that didn't keep Colonial forwards Levy and Kiechle from WM 1 :swf- chalking up 29 points between them, the forf mer had a onefpoint margin over Kiechle. When the scoring parade was over, the scoref board read, Fairfax 40, Venice 22. The Red and Gold varsity had a little more trouble in trimming the Gondoliers in their second engage- ment, as Levy was ill. The main reason, however, for the poorer showing Of Fairfax in the return game was the inability of the Colonials to hit the basket with their customary accuracy. Bruce Jacques, substif tute, almost grabbed high scoring honors with seven points, Frank Baker nosed him out with eight before leaving the game on four personal fouls in the last quarter. Jack Hatfield also left the game via the foul route while Bill Simons was another player on the sick list. The local quintet lengthened its 17-8 half-time lead to 3323 when the final whistle blew, for the seventh win in eight starts. ' The Roman basketball Squad from L. A. high had the misfortune to invade the Lions' den when the Fairfax quintet reached its best play' ing form. The cagey Mr. Bowen shifted his lineup so that Jack Hatfield replaced Kiechle at forward, the captain moving into the center position. This placed L'Cowboy Williamson at one guard spot, and Frank Baker, who received the tough assignment of guarding Roman deadeye Bill Marshall, at the other.

Marshall was held to 12 points by Baker, which was pretty good considering that the Roman ace averaged about 15 points a game. Although Fairfax led throughout the contest, L. A. was always right on their heels and the clash was one of the highlights of the season. The return game, played at the Roman gym, was a different story. Plagued by illness, the Fairfax five could not hold the pace set by the revengefthirsty Romans and were edged out in a close game. Wilber Levy, in particular, was just recovering from a case of influenza and practically tottered around the court. The only team that could stop Hollywood! That was the billing given the Bowenmen as they made earnest preparations to stop the towering Redshirt squad, thus far unbeaten. Once more Bowen changed his lineup, this time Hatfield moved to center, sending Kiechle back to the forward position. The whole game was a desperate, unsuccessful attempt on the part of the Colonials to make up for the Sheiks' great height advantage. Fay Froom, Hollywood cenf ter, was about six inches taller than Hatfield and easily outreached him. Ray Weldie and Bob Penn were two other huge Redshirts whom the losers could not stop. Cowboy William' son was Fairfax' nearest approach in size to the Hollywood hoopmen, and he went out of the game on fouls in the second quarter, thus end' 98 ing all hope for the Red and Gold team. Even so, Captain Kiechle played an outstanding game flipping in baskets from all angles to score 14 points. The Colonials almost succeeded in turnf ing the tables on their bitter rivals in the sec' ond game, as they sprang into an early lead that lasted till halfftime. Then misfortune struck at the local squad as one after another Lion regular went out on fouls. The last quarf ter saw five second stringers on the floor for Fairfax, trying vainly to stem the tide of the Hollywood onslaught. A BASKETBALL STANDINGS Games Games School won lost Pct.

The Sheiks finished the season undefeated to retain their hold on the league basketball crown. Coach Bowen's boys turned in some ex' cellent games even though they were unable to stop the tall Hollywood five. Captain Dick Keichle was honored with a firstfstring berth on the allfcity high school team selected by one daily newspaper. Gerald Sieck of University High, and Froom and Weldie of the Sheiks were other Western League players chosen for their outstanding ability. Frank Baker was rated as one of the most improved guards of the season. Bob Williamson, jack Hatfield, Wilbur Levy, and Bill Simons all showed a lot of improvement as the season progressed, completing a class A basketball team which need make no excuses for its performance. Class B Basketball . . . which as the preliminary contest often steals the show with the speed, excitement, and polished floor work of these smaller cabasa artists. To the average high school sports fan, class B events do not hold very much interest. But the fast and furious Bee basketball games are often as exciting as the varsity tilts that follow, and these preliminary clashes are just what is needed to stir the crowd up into a receptive mood for the class A contest. Despite the fact that Wilber Levy had been enticed up to the varsity, a formidable list of material remained to quietfspoken Bee coach Keith Lloyd. Veterans Earl Seid and Dick Moore formed the guards, with Norman Wilf son center. Leonard Klein, whose remarkable basket shooting ability rocketed him to fame the previous year, paired oif with the team's only newcomer, Howard Goldstein, at forward. The lightweight quintet polished off its first league opponent, University, by a score of 25 21, in a fast game. The going was pretty even in the first half as Unihi high scorer Rohrer dumped in a half a dozen baskets for the War' riors. The Lloydmen steadied down in the last two periods to outlast their opponents. The return match was quite similar to the first, the score being 3Of26, in favor of Fairfax. Hamilton's B casaba outfit showed little strength, as the Colonials coasted to two easy victories over them. The two Venice clashes were fast-paced, air- tight gamesg Fairfax clung to a slim lead to win out, 2521 in the irst one, but lost the second. Coach Lloyd's five had their hopes of league supremacy. blasted when the titlefbound Rom' ans trounced the Colonials twice. The local hoopmen split their last twofgame series with Hollywood, the Redshirts drew first blood and were knocked over in the second encounter. B BASKETBALL includes: Bewk Row: Coach Lloyd. K.

The Fairfax campus was a dangerous place to be, after seventh period, for the Hrst few weeks of the spring semester, as overfgenerous rain clouds had rendered the athletic field uniit for duty and seemingly hundreds of cleeted, red and gray clad youths swarmed all over the school grounds, chasing flies, getting batting and throwing practice, and generally rounding themselves into shape for the coming baseball season. As soon as the weather gave promise of be- coming fair and warmer, Coach Frank Shaffer dropped his football worries, donned his bright red baseball cap, and trotted out on the local diamond at the head of about sixty wouldfbe baseball players, who were determined to give their all for Uncle Frank , and present him with his first WesternfLeague baseball crown. Jack Erwig, Eugene Grady, Bob Pickarts, Ned Kendall, Steve Cardwell, and jerry Briskin folf lowed their coach's example in exchanging footf ball togs for baseball suits. Despite an abundance of pitchers at the start of the season, Mr. Shaffer ended up with only one regular chukker, Gordy Gockroft, who was unhittable at his best, but sadly wild when not in top form. His relief pitcher was Sherwin onefpitch Goldberg, who earned his nick- name in the first Hollywood game when he ref placed Cockroft, who was being hit quite a bit. The redfheaded southpaw stepped to the mound and delivered his first pitch right over the center of the plate, to have Dick Weller, the batter, knock it out of the lot for a homer. When Goldberg glanced meekly at mentor Shaffer, the latter was beckoning him from the mound. i A BASEBALL TEAM includes: Back Raw: S. Goldberg, G. Cardwell, W. Brooks. Middle Row: D. Heller, E.

Purdue. 100 HARRISON HITS A LONG ONE. Burl Rossuck, fiery tempered B letterman, beat out Jerry Briskin for the Hrst-string catch' ing berth. Veteran first sacker jack Erwig, known for his overuse of the expression Holy Cow , also served as a pitcher. His teammate on second base was another oldftimer, Dick Griffin, who led the squad in batting the pref vious year. Able custodian of third base was the fellow admiringly looked upon by the rest of the team as a real ball player , captain Wilf dey Morrison, whose underhand throws to first were really beautiful to watch. Wildey also acted as relief pitcher, in which case Bob Clas- sen, another line infielder, held down third base. Eugene Grady, after making his second B letter in baseball, developed into a capable shortstopg his speed enabled him to cover an unusual amount of territory. Under Shaffer's revised batting order, Grady became leadfoff man, hit' ting consistently and drawing numerous walks. The fourth returning letterman, Bob Pickf arts, inhabited left field, was a deadly ball hawk, and leadfoff man in the original batting order. Dick Hillar, star of the football goof squad, was picked over Bert Longacre at cenf ter field, chiefly because of his batting ability. Longacre had about the best throwing arm of all the outfielders. The right field berth was held down by a B9, Shaffer's rookie southpaw, Eddie Harrison, third and last of the Harrison brothers to star on the athletic field for Fairf fax. Completing the varsity roster were Mel Adkins, shortstop and first baseman, Norton Nelson, second baseman and hard working coacher, Steve Cardwell, first baseman, and Bill Brooks, pitcher. The nine climaxed a fairly successful pracf tice season with an impressive 13-11 win over the National Baseball School. The Westerii League schedule provided for two games with each team in the league, Hoping for good sup' port from the students, Coach Shaffer lined up a number of celebrities headed by Joe E. Brown to appear at the opening clash, a home game with University. The varsity mentor received several disappointments, however, and at the last moment, Benny Rubin stepped in and did the honors, pitching the first ball to Tuck Stainback, big league ball player and an alum' nus of Fairfax. The hardest disappointment, however, was the 3f1 victory that the Warriors walked off with. The game was an airtight affair, with Unihi's heavy batting, which event' ually won them the league crown, being the deciding factor. Centerfielder Veix, of the Warriors, poled out a single to put his team into the lead in the seventh inning and caught Dick Griflin's long fly, in the Colonials half of the frame to nip a hitting rally. Wildey Morf rison and Eddie Harrison did practically all of the Fairfax hitting, the latter hit a triple in the first inning. The Shaffcrmen traveled to L. A. for their next encounter and suffered an undeserved loss. 101 , Q' 'I N I I b I 1 Y W... ff: After outhitting and outplaying the Romans for seven innings, the Colonials saw the game blow up as a long, eighth inning single drove in the winning run. The locals drove L. A.'s best pitcher, jess Faris, from the mound with a bar' rage of hits. Determined to snap their losing streak, the Fairfax nine invaded the Venice diamond with a do or die attitude. The lads were apparently overfanxious and were soundly beaten, '7f3. Morrison drove out a long homer in the early stage of the game as the Colonials forged into the lead for the first time of the season. In desperation, Coach Shaffer made an agree' ment with his lads whereby he was to buy each player a malt, if they won a game, but if they lost, each one was to buy the coach a malt. This apparently had the desired effect on the team. After a layoff of a week because of rain, the Colonials traveled to University and handed the loopfleading Warriors a 5f4 trimming. It was only the hard hitting of Unihi's Mario Vasquez that kept his nine from being badly beateng the diminutive shortstop batted out two home runs His second homer, in the seventh inning, with two out, tied up the score and forced the game into another stanza. The success of the team was shortflived, however, as Venice came over to Van Cleve field and trounced the locals, 6f3. The beach team had a number of sluggers that pounded 102 the ball all over the field, while Colonial bat- ting slumped. When L. A. showed up on the local diamond for their second clash with Fairf fax, they had a new pitcher on the mound. His name, Novakovich, was almost as unprof nouncable as his curves were unhittable and he held the Colonials to one run while his team' mates took advantage of a blowfup by the Fairf fax lads in the fourth frame to score eight runs and put the game safely away. Another bad inning made its appearance in the first Hollywood game, causing the Fairfax nine to drop still lower in the Western League standings. Weller of Hollywood and Cockroft conducted a duel on the mound for several innings until the Colonials went to pieces, al' lowing the Redshirts to go on a scoring spree. The Shaifermen journeyed to Hamilton for the first game with the Bankers and after trailf ing most of the way, outfought the home team to win in the eighth frame, 9f8. Dick Hillar and Eugene Grady both got four hits to lead the Colonial batting, which totaled twenty hits. Wildey Morrison won his own ball game in the last inning when he put out one Federalist and struck out two others. Jack Erwig got the longest hit of the day, a homer in center field. That victory really put the Colonials in a hitting mood, for they opened up with all they had against Hollywood, at their second meeting and humiliated the Redshirts, 1415. The Fair' fax nine hit everything the visiting pitcher off fered in routing the second place Redshirts. The deceptive twirling of Hamilton's ninth grade pitcher, Joe Lopez, held Fairfax to five hits in the last game, while his teammates got eight blows to win Zfl. Poor base running cost the Colonials the game as they had a man on third several times with but one out and failed to SCOFC. A BASEBALL SCORES FAIItFAx ------- - UNIVERSITY FAIRFAX A ----f-- - - L-A.

Class B Baseball . . . provides the opportunity for those interested in the hardball sport to wield the bat for the glory of Fairfax and the good of their team. Although the lads brought home not a single victory, nevertheless they deserve credit for play' ing their best without the aid of a cheering grandstand or hope of receiving individual glory, they played merely for the fun they got out of the game. The hand that guided the destiny of the Bees belonged to none other than past graduate stuf dent Frank Acker. Having played a bit of base' ball in his day, Acker took on the more serious job of coaching. The locals received a nasty jolt in the form of a 11f5 beating from the Huntington Park Spar' tans in their Hrst game. Eugene Grady gave his unbelievable low batting average quite a shock when he rammed out a home run. Another distant school, Lincoln, handed the Ackermen their second licking, 8-4. The Colonials had a comfortable three run lead in the fifth stanza, that had no effect on the Railsplitters, who chalked up seven runs in the frame to win. The hardworking Bees came close to winning their next game, with Hamiltong the Bankers finf ally won in an extra inning. Jerry Briskin batted out a single, and a triple in the seventh inning that brought in the tieing run. Acker's outfit drove in flve runs in the fourth and fifth innings as Briskin, Seid, Seymour, Fries, Rossi, and Von Grove all hit safely. The Bees reached the peak of their career when they tied Fremont, 11f11, but were unable to hang on to a one run lead. A small pebble cost Fairfax the last B game, with L.A. The Colonials were out in front until a throw from the outield to home hit a stone and bounced out of the field, letting in runs which the Ackermen could not make up.

Without the thrills of football, or the fast' moving pace of basketball, track manages to hold its place as an important sport at Fairfax, largely because of the fact that it is the one sport in which the team as a whole may not be so good, but some of the individuals really great. It takes but a few seconds to run many a race and break many a record, but back of that stand long hours of vigorous workfouts, and constant running. Because it produces individual stars, track is one of the hardest of sports, for it puts more responsibility upon individuals than any other form of athletic competition. The unusually short season opened with a practice tilt wtih Hamilton on the local field. Fairfax won easily, 77f27, taking seven first mile, winning it in 52.7 seconds with Silvernale and Licker following him to the tape to make it a clean sweep for Fairfax. john Pearson was nosed out in the halffmile race by Dennis of Hamilton. The Colonials also scored clean sweeps in both dashes, the low hurdles, and the mile. Charlie Jordan edged out Bob Pickarts in the 100 in the fast time of 10.1 seconds. Pick: arts, who just about had time to exchange his baseball suit for bright red track pants before the season began, also ran a good 220, tieing Millif gan for first. jim Malone had an easy time in the mile, winning by half a lap, George Lewis, also loafed to victory in the low hurdles. Moving up their number of first places to nine, Coach Lloyd's spikesters crushed University, places and the relay. The Bankers won the 880 because Frank Baker elected to run the quarter 69265.

Although rated as a close battle, Fairfax's meet with Hollywood saw the Sheiks humiliate the Colonials by a 61 1X6 to 42 5f'6 score. The bright spot of the afternoon for Fairfax was Charlie Jordan's thrilling race in the 100 when he tied Hollywood's highlyftouted Hopkins. Frank Baker ran a good 880 in 2 minutes and 3.8 seconds, leading all the way to the tape. Art Rasmussen insisted on breaking the shot put record again, with a toss of 48 ft. 11 in. The Colonials copped an exciting relay as Paul Dudf ley, Kenneth Bernhardt, and 'LItchy La Borda ran nice furlongs and Baker finished it off with a sizzling 220 that spelled victory for Fairfax. The trackmen made a much better showing against LA., losing by only 18 points to the league champions. Bud Pedrotta turned in the outstanding field performance for Fairfax, tieing for first in the high jump at 6 ft. 2 in., and getf ting second in the shot put. Frank Baker got off to a good start in the halffmile and was never headed, winning over his hardest league rival, Harry Davis, by several yards.

B Track is simply a smaller replica of the class A sport, providing similar thrilling races and equally hard competition. The material that Coach Bowen found avail' able for his 1937 lightweight cinderpath squad held little resemblance to the one that brought home a victory in the Western League meet the previous year. He had a pair of good sprinters in Dick Tossell and Dick Ruess, an impressive 660 man in Newsome, two promising 1320 men in Egan and Leggett, questionable material in the high hurdles and a fair low stick man in Hayden Clark. Burton Harrington was a capaf ble but inconsistant performer in the pole vault and a strong threat in the shot put. Tom Mid' dleton was the best of the broadjumpers, while the highfjumping material was doubtful. A decisive win over University marked the opening of the season as Coach Bowen's crew mopped on the Warriors, 60 2X3 to 34 U3 Bert Hockensmith pulled a big surprise in the high hurdles, with a record breaking time of 9.6 seconds. The losers only won one event as Fair- fax copped eight iirst places, tied for first in the high jump, easily won the relay. The Colonials were rudely upset by Hollywood's lighties, howf ever, in their next meet. Dick Newsome snared the feature race of the afternoon, with a blazing 1 minute 31.1 seconds win in the 660. The ref lay was very close with the Redshirts winning in the last 'few yards. L.A. administered the second league defeat to the Bees of Fairfax by a 61 1f3 to 22 2X3 score. Dick Ruess was the only double winner of the day, taking the 100 in 10.5 seconds, and mainf taining his undefeated record in the furlong.

TENNIS This year's local net squad was another one of those almost teams, it almost beat LA. high for the Western League tennis champion- ship, but not quite. The majority of students do not think much of tennis as a sport, but the players take the game, and themselves very seriously. Most of them eat and sleep tennis as well as play it. Many of the team members are seldom seen in any oth' er attire than tennis clothes. An example of this is Henry Faber, the lanky individual you often see wandering about the halls clad in lettermen's sweater and tennis shoes, swinging his racquet lustily. First man of the team is Dynamite Dick Deardon, whose masterful dinking put him at the top of the tennis ladder. Walker How' ard, genial captain of the team, was knocked out of his position as second man by a B-10, Doug Woodbury, who is a ranking player of southern California in the fifteen and under division. Henry Faber started out at the beginning of the term as second man, rapidly slid to fifth place after being whipped by Captain Howard, event' ually moved up a couple notches. Sid White, another tenthfgrader, was seeded highest of the newcomers to the team, along with Milo Scratchy Frank. Jack Kerr, Ted Reed, and Mervin Koplof finished out the playing mem' bers of the team, Bill Stewart and Ray Kiottonf bach were subs. The Colonial team bowled over one after an' other opponent to hang up an unbroken string of practice wins. Then Coach Welsh sent his charges against Venice in the league opener. The lads all had an easy time with their opponents, TENNIS TEAM includes: Back Row: M. Frank, J. Kerr, R. Kottenbach, H. Farber, R. Minke, M. Koploff. Front Row: R. Deardon, D. Woodbury, B. Stewart, H. Walker, T. Reed, H. Welsh. 107 except Henry Faber, who lost the only match. Next on the schedule was University so the Lion racqueteers traveled out to the Warrior courts and scored their second victory, also by a 6f1 score. Playing second singles, Milo Frank barely managed to pull his match out of the fire, edging out his opponent 7f5 in the last set. Kerr and Reed took a closely contested match from the Warrior second doubles team. Proving that one school can't win everything, the Colonial netfmen soundly trounced Holly' wood, losing only the second doubles match. Dearden did not drop a single game to his first singles opponent, Woodbury trimmed Holly' wood's Troify easily, Faber rallied to win his match in the third set. The last obstacle in the way of the championship match with L.A. was Hamilton, and the Bankers gave the Colonials little trouble. Their 'first man, Blake, did man' age to upset Dearden for his team's only win. The illness and subsequent ineligibility of L. A's ace player, Welby Van Horn, gave Fairfax the break it sought in attempting to turn back the Powerful Romans. Although LA. won, 5f2, the match was much closer than indicated by the score. Doug Woodbury upset L.A.'s Pqqy in the second singles while Captain Howard showed a lot of staying power in coming from behind to triumph in fifth singles, after being within two points of defeat. Faber got off to a good start in his match with the Roman tenthf grader Levinson, but then folded up to lose in straight sets. -Overconfidence was largely responf sible for Frank's loss to Nelson of L.A., in two sets, closest of all was the second doubles which Kerr and Reed lost after going to 14 games in the third set, The victories scored by Howard and Woodbury gave them an undefeated record for the season. GYM CLUB The strong men of Fairfax, members of the Gym team, suffered only one loss in the course of the season, dropping a meet to the powerful Hollywood squad. Coach Rynearson, well' known for his famous drawl, sent a strong team against University in the opening meet. The Colonials copped all but one of the first places, as Chester Hill and Chuck Petty each won two eventsg the latter also got a second in the free exercise. Other big point winners for Fairfax were Scotty McFall in the rings and rope GYM TEAM includes: Back Row: R. Sullivan, D. Walker, J. McFall, P. Duft, B. Gottschalk. B. Lawson, T. Walker. J. Fox, J.

Chuck Petty and Hal Pickel garnered twenf tyffive points between them in the free exercise, side horse, and long horse events to lead the Co' lonials to a 74 to 66 triumph in the next meet, with Venice. Bob Gottschalk ignored a bad fall, going on to win a first in the side horse and sec' ond in the allfaround. Joe Meridith was largely responsible for Hollywood's win over Fairfax, the able Redshirt took five first places, leading his team to a 87M to 58M victory. Chester Hill and Bob Gottschalk won most of the points for the Colonials. Despite the fact that L.A,'s jelmeland scored twentyfone points, Fairfax defeated the Romans with an abundance of second and third places. Fairfax's Sabiston, Petty, and Lindersmith took the only lirsts the winners captured. A fall re- moved Chester Hill from competition for the day. Bob Gottschalk copped 10 points in the side horse, long horse, and allfaround. Coach Rynearson's lads placed second in the Western League meet, as Hollywood's versatile team won the contest easily. Shirey and Hill got the only Colonial Hrst places, the latter also got a second and a third. In the divisional championship meet held at Eagle Rock, Fairfax' took fourth place. Chester Hill turned in a nice performance, taking eleven hardfearned points. TOWN CRIERS The parade of sports would not be complete! without mention of those energetic entreaters of organized uproar, the Town Criers. Head man Byron Palmer is a familiar figure inside a yell' leader's sweater, having previously served as as- sistant town crier. The strained expression on his face when leading a yell is familiar to any Colonial who has ever attended a sports event, and wellfnigh unforgettable. Bob Miller and Bob McKay were chosen to aid and abet Palmer in extorting cheers from the grandstand. Stuf dents are usually reluctant to strain their tonsils during the spring term and the trio has made some noble attempts to spur on losing teams. 4.7 WINTER YELL LEADERS include: B. Palmer, W.

Unit . . . opens the door of military training and discipline coupled with army strategy under the direction of the U. S. army to the boys of Fairfax. COLOR GUARDS include: F. Michaelson, H. Jaffa, J. Loughridge, B. Applefield. The benefits of R.O.T.C. are many. Among other things, it enables young men to get mili- tary training directly under the army. lt is be' lieved that all the army does is march and go to war. However, in accounting for the army's ac' tions throughout the past years, drilling would be found to be but a minor duty in the army's long line of activities. In the face of disaster- floods, strikes, earthquakes-the army can always be found working hand in hand with the Red Cross and relief organizations. The army itself is only the nucleus for a vast military force in the face of war. When the citizens were draft' ed during the World War, the army met a great 110 As a result of the annual Federal In- spection, the Fairfax R.O.T.C. Battalion has received the rating of Honor School . Although Fairfax has striven many times for this goal, this is the first time that it has achieved this honor. This is the highest honor that the War Department can confer on an R.O.T.C. unit, and all concerned are jubilant over our success. problem, that of taking regular soldiers out of the army who could be fighting, and assigning them to the training of the citizens. Because of their temporary inadequacy, the government felt the need of training citizens to know the military phases, and could act as the instructors for draft' ed, untrained men in case of another war. Thus it was that the National Defense Act was Hrst passed in 1916. After the World War, in 1920, this act was extensively amended, so that today it provides for the regular army, the National Guard, the Reserve Corps, the Citizens Military Training Camps, and the Reserve Officers Trainf ing Corps. The latter is taught in colleges and high schools. High schools teach only the basic course, while colleges teach both the basic and advanced courses. The R.O.T.C. aims to train men toward better citizenship and leadership and to provide officers for the Reserve Corps. J Fairfax High School was founded in Septemf ber, 1924. That same fall the R.O.TIC. was established under Sergeant Charles. Sergeant Charles was not the regular instructor of the Fairfax Unit, but was the military advisor of Los Angeles High School. He visited Fairfax once a week in order to supervise the training. However, Sergeant Naughton was detailed to duty at Fairfax shortly before the end of its first semester. His successors followed in rapid sucf cession, the first being Major Kenape, Sergeant Pyland, Colonel Teirel, and Lieutenant Colonel Sliney. The present instructors of the unit are Sergeant V. P. Pyland and Lieutenant Colonel Sliney. Sergeant Pyland has had more to do with the development of the unit than any other one man connected with it. Being assigned to duty in 1931 when the unit had only an enrollment of seventyfeight men, he has seen it grow until to' day it is two hundred and fifty strong, including a band. Sergeant Pyland was detailed to duty with the Los Angeles City Schools in 1924 from C Company, 30th Infantry, and has served the R.C.T.C. continuously since then. Lieuten- ant Colonel Sliney was detailed to Fairfax asa Major for the Schoneld Barracks, T.H,, in 1933. He graduated from West Point in the class of 1913. He served with the First Cavalry at Mont- erey, California, until he was sent to the Mexican Border during the Villa trouble of 1916. At the end of the minor conflict he was sent to West Point again as an instructor in the mathematics department, Here he remained until June, 1918, when he was promoted from a Captain to a Major. Since the War he has served in the Phil- ippines, in China, and in the Hawaiian Islands. He received his promotion from Major to Lieuf tenant Colonel in 1935. He has been the inf structor of the Fairfax R.O.T.C. since 1933, but is now under orders to proceed to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where he will be an instructor in the Field Artillery School. Since his arrival at Fair' fax, Colonel Sliney has stressed the work toward the Federal Inspection. This inspection is car' ried out each year by the government. All high schools enter into the competition, each striving to surpass the other in military knowledge and tactics. The unit has come close to victory each year, but never quite making the grade.

Companies A and B 's entire membership is of men who have been in the unit one semester or more, while C Company is made up of 'knew men with the highest ranking Corporals, Sergeants, and ofhcers presiding over them. The Unew men with the highest officers are called such because they have never taken military training hereto' fore. Thus it is, by keeping them all together in one company under experienced officers and instructors, the new men may swiftly learn the elements of military training.

Under her in the coaching staff are Miss Lucille Schimmel, Miss Althea White, Miss June Hasty, Miss ArtyfMay Hunt, and Miss Mary McClellan. The student heads of the Association are formed in a board, which is known as the G.A.A. Cabinet. Some ofhcers of this cabinet are elecf tive and some are appointive. Guiding this board is the Commissioner of Girls' Athletics, who is elected by the student body. Her duties also inf clude the representation of the G.A.A. in the Colonial Council. This post was held during the fall semester by Grace Reeves, while Esther Strouse was chosen for the spring term. The executive elected by the board is its president, Louise Berkey. Another oflicer of the board is the vice-president, whose chief duty is the taking charge of Play Days, perhaps the most important activity of the Association. The vicefpresident for last semester has been joan Sweeney.

Although the members of the stajf of the 1937 Colonial have been eager ro work, the technical ability which is necessary for the planning of the book, arranging of copy and pictures, and the other exacting jobs of this nature was not theirs, Advising and guiding the 1937 Colonial staff in these tasks have been Mrs. Grace Hoffman of Witzel Studios, Mr. john jackson of Carl A. Bundy .Quill 69' Press, Mr. Waldo Edmunds of Mission Engraving Company, and Mr. Paul McGrath of Weber-McCrea Company. To them the staff owes a real debt of appreciation and a statement of the great pleasure it has been to work with them.
