During your stay at Fairfax, you will have shaped your own destinies, making of yourselves all that the material will make. A few of you will have played the more prom- inent roles of leaders, the rest content to follow. Regardless of your parts, you will have learned through your endeavors at scholarship, citizenship, and sportsmanship, the lesson to carry on and climb though the path be rugged. You will have learned that wisdom requires a working knowledge of many sub- jects including common sense and application, and that the success of your stay here will build a wider stepping stone for the future. You will always remember the halls of laughter and the many fun-filled moments, experiencing with your friends the thrill of being a Colonial, in spirit as well as in deed. This 1954 Colonial is therefore dedicated to you, the students of Fairfax High, in the hope that this past year will have become one of the best years of your life. perma- nently inscribed for you, and relived for you merely by the turn of a page. table of contents Administration NVinter Organization and Seniors Activities Summer Organizations and Seniors Classes Sports Ads Page Three n i 8 2 F O 0 Q M4 . 55, me .

The Senior Aye bar-be-cue marked the sec- ond time the entire class met together. The Senior Prom, Orchids in the Moonlight, was presented January 15, in Greenway Court. The music of Herb Silvers, orchestra provided the backdrop for a long-to-be-remembered evening. The farewell luncheon was the last event before graduation and was attended by the whole class.

Immediately showing their superiority, the Cavaliers- to-be subscribed enthusiastically to the activity ticket , setting a new record for percentage sold. This was the time of the Hi Talent Battle, which saw the Cat Colonials sew up the competition with a string of 7 consecutive wins over the best that predom had to offer. On the gridiron the hated Romans dampened all spirits with a listless 26-0 score. As the class began its second semester at the Lions' Den, the whole country harkened to the juke boxes to spin Cry , '4Bermuda , and Anytime . The gym team won the dual meet crown in convincing fashion, and the diamond darlings were almost the class of the league. A Lioness won a city-wide oratorical contest for girls, copping a 31,000 scholarship for her efforts. Highlighting the aud season, Ralph Flanagan and his boys set Colonialville alire with their tuneful tooting. Surprise of the year was Zsa Zsa Gabor's impromptu appearance at Fairfax, when a Latin teacher offered to forget about the final exams if Miss Z-Z would show. Democrats took to the hills as Ike and the GOP took over the reins of government. As the United Nations entered its eighth year of existence, the Cavaliers started their third term as Lions. The Colonial Trio was the rage of the 'Bop set. The Holly Hi Sheiks were annihilated 14-6 by a de- termined Lion grid machine. The scoreboard now basked in the shadow of a new flag pole, courtesy of senior classes of the past. Homecoming Day was enjoyed by all, as Colonials were told, You've got to be crazy to be famous,', and set out to prove it. We enjoyed our last field day as one of the coaches suc- cumbed to the affectionate punches of overanxious seniors. Bob London serenaded the girls, and Colonials saw You Can't Take It With You , and saw L.A. take a grid fest 20-14. Sam Hammennan, genial boys' vice-principal was gone, and Dr. Herbert Aigner replaced him. Kauf Drops were in everybody's pockets, and opera came to Fairfax in the guise of the Barber of Seville. Then and Now was the theme of the annual, and the Night of January 16 was the name of the Senior Play. Modern art swept across the campus and the ball team swept to a third place in the city tournament. As we entered the superb senior semesters, the little boy look was the rage. The Sheiks from Hollywood were upset to the tune of 28-13. While Cavaliers read Senior Be-Bop, the garbage cans were painted a glar- ing red. Looking over the Lost Horizon, we saw some fine performances turned in by Cavalier characters. L.A. took another one, 39-0, but the Lions roared over Venice and Uni by identical margins of 7-6. The Bee gridders enjoyed their first undefeated season in ages, while one of our former graduates was named a Rhodes Scholar. The gals all wore jewelled flats, and Candy-Cane-Ball-that-wasn't held became famous. Finally, elections were held and Cavaliers took things over. I.D. pictures became a fixture on activity tickets, as we assumed the role of Senior Ayes. The world was astounded by the magniture of the H Bomb blast, and Fairfax was numbed by the Chess team's first loss in 132 matches. Colonialscope was created and sold to the clamoring mob. The Cavalier class had the highest composite average on the Iowa Test of any class in the entire nation. The Lamplighters colored our color day. Lions read of a swimming pool to be built in the near future and then took off for the aud to hear the Lancers. The Bank of America nominations were made, Ephebians announced and the C.S.F. members fcted. The Cordelians came into being, and Cavaliers took over the duties of various V.I.P.'s in local government. The greatest Prom ever, Carousel, was enjoyed by all, and the nifty nine was well on its way to a league and city baseball diadem. At last, 427 Cavaliers donned their pasteboards and mounted the stage to receive their sheepskins, finally having the wool pulled over their eyes. Page Seventy-six B-12 CLASS ROW l-S. Kreshek, K.

Coming West from Topeka, Kansas, his birthplace, to Pomona Col- lege, he settled down here and made all-American honorable mention as a tackle on that team. In 1928, only 25 years of age he came to Colonialville and has been here ever since. As pigskin mentor he has led four crimson and gold contingents to titles-the Cees to a eity championship in 1930 and the Varsity in 1935, 1937 and 1947, and has achieved considerable success as a base- ball coach also. AL SILVERA One of the finest athletes ever to attend Fairfax is Al Silvcra. Silvera has been outstanding in several sports at Colonialville. A three year letter winner in football and baseball, the swivel-hipped senior also garnered a varsity track monogram. For his diamond efforts, he was named an all-league outfielder as a tenth grader and last year AL SILVERA COACH SMITH topped a first string all-city birth as well as being named Western League Athlete of the Year. Not confining his endeavors solely to athletics. Al has also been Boys' League President. E. B. SMITH Eugene B. Smith was born on October 12, 1919, in Seattle, Wash- ington. He attended Washington and Lee and later U.S.C. but was ineligible for college athletics because he had played pro baseball for San Bernardino, a class C farm club of Hollywood. In 1951 after serving the Army in both Korea and japan, 'SSmitty came to Fair- fax where he has successfully served in the capacity of both gym- nastics and football mentor. His gym-men took the Western League Crown in 1952 while the varsity baeklield he tutored last year was adjudged one of the finest in the loop. Page Eighty-six varsity football The 1953 football season provided many thrills for Colonial rooters as Fairfax nab- bed 4th place in the Western League and showed Hashes of real gridiron prowess. Fairfax opened the season against Ban- ning's Pilots, eventual Marine Loop Cham- pions. The Lions, playing well only in spots, couldnit cope with the F lyers' over-all strength. Captain Al Silvera plunged over for Fairfax's only score as Banning eked out a 13-7 win. The Colonials then returned home to meet Hollyhils Sheiks. Putting together , , , , Lion right end, Gary Dorfman CNo. 441, p what was probably their finest exhibition ini., fhe air, Ove, ,he end zone, fo game, P of the year, Fairfax grabbed a quick lead for a Colonial touchdown, against North H lly d and romped to an impressive 28-13 victory. Wing-back Claude Gauthier led the scoring with three t.d.'s. In the Milk Bowl game, North Hollywood's Huskies opposed the Lions. The Valley League Wolves displayed a powerful running attack along with adequate pass- ing and won a dull 20-7 game. Fairfax seemed to suffer a relapse after their Sheik victory and couldn't put together any sustained drives. The practice games concluded, the Colonials then embarked on what was to be a surprising if not entirely successful league schedule. Dorseyas Dons were Fairfax's first loop opponents. Led by Fullback Biaggio Pen- nino, the Gauchos easily toppled the desperate Lions, 26-7. Fairfax then hosted Hamiltonls perrenial cousins', in hopes of snapping their two game losing streak. When the final gun sounded the score was tied 25-25 and only the inspired job of All-City candidate Al Silvera, who returned to action after a knee injury, saved the Colonials from another defeat. The big annual clash with L.A., the following week proved to be a one-sided 39-O triumph for the Romans. The only bright spots for the Colonials were the de- fensive performances of Cary Dorfman, Barry Latman, and Bob Zeichick. With little hopes of success, the Lions then vied with Venice, supposedly the sec- ond best team in the city. Rising to the occasion, Fairfax spotted the Beachboys an early score minus the extra point and then with eight minutes left in the game, Tail- back Silvera arched a perfect pass to flanker Cary Marsh for what proved to be the Gauthier, lion right hammk ,Noi ml Pre- winning score. Lewis Towne booted the p 0 .mise Gary Dorfman mo. 443, to bring extra point and amid veritable hysteria, d an unidentified Hollywood ball carrier. At the Lions Won 7-6 th f al gun the score read, Fairfax 28, Holly- , ' , , a 13. With prospects looking much brighter, A the Colonials took on the University War- l . . . riors in the season finale. The pesky Indians were leading 6-0 in the tilt's waning mo- ments when once again Silvera pitched a game winning pass, this time it 'was to Claude Gauthier. Silvera ran the ball over to convert and another 7-6 victory was accorded Fairfax. Lion standouts during the season in- cluded: line bulwark, Sid Scott, Sherwin Lasseff, ends, Marv Rothenberg and Jerry Arndt and backfielders, Earl Sternfeld and Joe Sutton.

Silverman, varsity basketball The 1953-54 edition of the Fairfax Colonial basketball team did not only win a second place in the Western League but also stirred up considerable interest in the All-City Tourna- ment. Starring for the team was Dave Linderman, this yearls winner of the Hugh Emerson Welsh Trophy, signifying the varsity athlete of the year. Dave had a high game of 31 points in the second round Hamilton game, and ended with a season average of 19.5 and a total of 195 points. Linderman was also named to the All-Western League Dream Teamf' Coach Keith Lloyd's team lost but three games during the year with two losses coming at the hand of the City and Western League Championls University High. The other loss was to the Los Angeles Romans who won the game in the last second, 57 to 56. Fairfax got by Dorsey, Hamilton, and Venice in both of the rounds, and completed the season with a record of seven won and three lost. VVhen the Colonials entered the City Tournament Ful'f x'5 Joel Hein sinks Hump sho' lo' 2 aims their first encounter was with the Marshall Barristers. M The Colonials won this game by 23 points, 72 to 49. 5' Blarty Ross was the high man for Fairfax with 15 points. Then the locals met the Fremont Pathnnders. The Fremont boys showed too much class for the Lions and downed the stubborn Fairfax contingent. Star forwards Ken Rubino, Marty Ross and Arnie Chasen were constatntly a thorn in the side of every Fairfax opponent with their ball handling and deadly shooting. Bob Beiber, Tom Stagen, and Jordy Paul were always breaking inside their opponents to score on driving shots. VVith Dave Linderman, Larry Liman, Joel Hein, and Howard Bleicher at the guard slots the team was well bolstered. watch helplessly. Every loyal Colonial who supported his team knows just how successful this basketball season was. B BASKETBALL ROW 1-J. Bass, A. Ashberg, G. Weiner, R. Turner, M. Smith. ROW 2-L. Kraft, L.

Opening the season at Dorsey on April 9, the locals blew their first, and only, game of the year by the score of 4-3. The contest also marked the first and only time that Barry Latrnan was defeated. After Dorsey, the brilliant Colonials became the scourge of the opening round, beating Hami, Los An- geles, Venice. and Uni. Bruce Gardner was the winner over Hamilton and Venice, while Latman won over Los Angeles and Uni. Dorsey. who Came in second in the league, became the Lions first victim as the second round began. Al- though Gardner started. Latman relieved superbly and was credited with the win. In the next outing for Fairfax, Barry Latman became the first prep in the recorded history of local base- ball to hurl a perfect game. Twenty-one batters came up to the plate and were retired as Barry pitched the Lions to a 2-0 win over the Yankees of Hamilton. In downing the Yankees, Latman struck out 15. The Romans of L.A. were the next to feel the might of the Lions and of ace ehucker Barry Lat- man as they went down to defeat, 10-1. Bruce Gardner, stor first sucker for the Coloniols, stretches for high throw as he comes down in time to nip runner in game played ot Dorsey. All-city center fielder Al Silvera then stepped in and set down the Venice Gondoliers, 9-4. Silvera also Cracked a home run. The Colonials won the league championship in the next game as Latman once more set down Uni, this time, 2-0. With Barry Latman, the eity's second highest strike outer with 84 in 49 innings leading the way, the Fairfax Colonials go into the Dorsey Tourna- ment with high hopes.

Both speedsters copped Hrsts in the 220-Don against Hami and Howard against Venice. Kaye in the Mile Relay against L.A. The rest of the track events were the keys to the Lions' im- potency during the season. In the four events-180 yd. low hurdles, 120 yd. high hurdles, and 440 and 880 yd. runs- our spikesters could win only once when Dave Skepner skimmed over the lows to a victory over Hami. Besides Skepnerls win, the best the locals could do was to get three seconds in the high timbers from Pete Blits and one second in the 880 from Don Orlijan. It would be wrong, however, to call the track events complete failures as Coach Keith Lloyd found, in Jerry Arndt, as capable a miler as was to be had in the Sunset Loop. Pole vaulters were led by Mike Thaler, with a first and a second, and Pete Blits, with two seconds. Broad jumpers 'Barry Groman and Rudy Stulman both had blue ribbons-Groman against L.A. and Stulman against Hami. Only scoring high jumper for the Lions was Rudy Stulman, who took three seconds, In the shot putting ring Shel Kreitzer and Barry Groman surprised many as Kreitzer took firsts against Venice and Hami while Groman was placing in two meets.

Lieberman, wind up Ofcupying thgf Cgllaf pggition, Even meek Hamilton was able to handily defeat the hapless harriers. This unimpres- sivc record compiled by the Harriers was, for the most part, due to injury and ill- ness. Never, after the first meet, were thc harriers at full strength, and Captain Doug julian was sick for most of the season. In the L.A. meet things were so bad that half the team was either sick or injured. However, dismal as the season was, Coach Maurice Levin's work was not in vain. In the league meet at U.C.L.A. Coach Levin, realizing the team had no chance in varsity competition, strengthened the junior varsity aggregation, and the harriers scored a dc- cisive victory. The team consisting of Norman Cohen, Don Orlijan, Captain Doug Julian, Harry Zelinka, Co- Captain Bernie Reavlin, Dale Seltzer, and Bruce Gardner also fared well in the city meet. Running varsity were jerry Arndt, who holds the Fairfax record at U.C.L.A. with 10:27, Marv Rothenberg, Alan Santor, Brian Baker, Harold Lieberman, Manfred Flekman, Steve Baranov, and Howard Milner. The highlight of the season Iay in the fact that three outstanding runners were developed. This trio, Cohen, Orlijan, and julian, will com- pose the nucleus of next year's team and should certainly make Fairfax's outfit one of the league contenders. TENNIS Under the coaching of Mr. Leonard Taffe the tennis team of Fairfax High had a very successful year. W'ith only one returning letterman, a can of used tennis balls, and a lot of determination the team held its own during the season. Seeing action for the first time as Varsity Competitors were Irv Klein, Chuck Evang, Mikfi Cole. Merv Chifkman, Sid Diamond, Mike RICII, and Richard Teller. Others on the team were Aaron Segal, AVFUIII SCI'1W211'tZ, Rubin TUFHCF, Hlld tW0'YC31'lCttCrII1an and captain Stan Pitluck.

There were many outside tournaments in which Cole, Pitluck, Evans, Turner, and Klein com- peted. Pitluck being the only senior, next year's team can be expected to be a high favorite for league honors and a good chance to be the best in the city. W'54 TENNIS STANDING: J. Halpern, N. Lewak.

Although the Lions' might held fastfFairfax copping six out of eight firsts-L.A.'s great depth enabled the Romans to outpoint the Fairfax musclemen. The Colonial gymnasts then whipped through the season's remaining meets, toppling the Hamilton Yankees and the Gondoliers of Venice. A mid-semester meet with Westchester was also a one-sided contest. As for individual performances the Lions were unparalleled. Stu Pappe's third year with Lord Fairfax was his best. He participated in four events-long horse, parallels, rings, and high bar-and scored 36 points out of a possible 40 the sat out the Venice meet with a bad coldj. 'Backing up this phenomenal scoring rec- ord were Ken Rubino on high bar, undefeated Bob Larner at tumbling, Marv Cohen on the rings, and Jerry Greenspan participating in free ex. Also adding to the Lion scoring column were tumbler Sol De Piciotto, hemp- man Dave Rose, Sandy Samson on side horse and free ex. man Bill Tempkin. The league meet .... Again the superior ability of the Lion squad was overshadowed by the depth of the Romans. Stu Pappe, Ken Rubino, and Bob Larner leaped, twirlcd, and flipped themselves to league titles in the long horse, the high bar, and tumbling, respectively. In addition, the Lionmen received a liberal share of other places, it was futile, however, with great senior athletes, and a large sprinkling of sophs and juniors, the Fairfax gymnastics team, 1953 Western League champions was forced to bow to L.A. Coach E. B. Smith deplored the bad luck that stole the title from Fairfax. However, with a large number of returning lettermen, he is looking forward to a great '55 season, during which Fairfax should regain its championship.
