Soon a group will emerge from our midst to venture forth in the quest of higher learning, while others will travel to different parts of the world' to seek fame and fortune. Ships may carry them to theirfdestinations as they did 'other adventurers in this game of life, and so'not without feeling, Ships has been chosen ,as the theme of the Condolier for l935. , ' May these ships of faith that we haverpic'tured through! out the annual carry you tofthe greatest heights that can be obtaineclfjby you, the studehts of Venice High School.f + fllfiscal aifld qptheroblstacllds have been plentiful, but, un- ashamedly and withput alibis, the staff presents tlflis volume, trusting llhat the Gondolier for i935 will fulfill i-ts.,mission of conveying, in permanent graphic form, the events of 'the year.

Ashley hitects Arc . .CLARK I said at the beginning of the year that the great necessities for a successful year are: l. Good teachers 2. Something to learn 3. Interested learners The last people referred to are YOU. Have you been true to yourselves, to the school, and been really interested learners? If so, then l am saying to you at this farewell occasion, Your last year has been a good one , lf, in any sense of the word your last year in school has not been an entire success what part of that seeming failure is due to your own lack of interest, or your indifference? Teachers may sometimes have failed, subjects have sometimes been dull, but where have you been during all this time-On the job? Tuned to a high pitch? or, maybe, luke warm, inclined to shirk, leaving too much to the proverbial Ceorge . I congratulate you on your successes for I am sure they have been many, l trust your next year will be somewhere near what you wish it to be. May wisdom and good common sense prevail for us all always. Sincerely your friend, E. W. CLARK Page ten Seniors of i935-You have chosen ships for your theme. l see ships sent out to sea and they are loaded with visions, hopes and dreams. Are you prepared to bring your cargo back to port or will your ship drift with the rolling sea? To realize your visions, your hopes, and your dreams, and to bring back your cargo will require effort on your part. lt was Oliver Wendell Holmes who wrote-- I find the greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving. To reach the port, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it-but we must sail and not drift or be at anchor. Life with its joys and sorrows, its temptations and triumphs, its false lights and fixed stars, is all before you. My hope for you is that you may choose wisely your course. Bon voyagel Sincerely your friend, MAMIE L. SALLEE Girls' Vice-Principal MRS. SALLEE VICE-PRINCIPALS During the past year we have encountered our heaviest seas, have met our greatest obstacles, and still we sail majestically onward. We have weathered the storm and already the promise of clearer skies and fairer breezes is becoming a realization. But what a buf- ivire. 1 ,.X f 4 ,-ff feting we have experienced! Never has a crew deserved more praise for its determina- tion, its effort and its progress. Our ship has been under-officered and under-manned. Instead of the ninety-three officers and twenty-two hundred able- bodied seamen of which we so recently boasted, our staff has fallen to eighty-three, and our crew to less than eighteen hundred. The ship itself has all but been destroyed. Four sections, containing in all some sixty or more cabins, have been demolished and the crew has been housed in temporary can- vas structures, hurriedly thrown up on a sloppy, poorly drained deck. The elements have conspired against us and we have suf- fered blinding' storms. The wind has carried away many a top-sail, the decks have lit- erally run with water and many of the crew deserted. Yet we sail on and the sun is shining once more, the new structures to replace those destroyed by the disaster are nearing completion and a new hope stirs in the breasts of the hardy but weary crew. We have weathered the storm. All praise to the indomitable spirit of the officers and crew. R. B.

BILL HAYES FRANKLIN STRAND DON RIVARD President Vice President SGCVGTBVY Treasure' HISTORY OF THE WINTER '35 CLASS In February of i929 approximately one hundred greenhorns signed up as ordi- nary seamen on the good ship Venetian bound for a six-year cruise to unknown parts. The captain, an old salt who had braved many a storm, peered from the corner of his eyes at the young lads stumbling up the gangplank, and wondered if they could endure the complete voyage and just what type of sailors they would turn out to be. From the first class seamen who had already been on the ship for over three years, the infants received disgusted smiles, surrounded by advice and commands. A year later the laddies showed signs of polishing. They knew their duties and how to perform them. And often the first class seamen even went so far as to speak to them, thus lowering themselves. Two more years of tiresome duties and the day the young salts had anticipated ar- rived. No longer were they scrubs , but first class seamen. Their quarters were changed, and their duties became more difficult. They were now allowed to participate in the ship's athletics, join the ship's clubs, elect the officers, give the greenhorns that independent look, and take part in the various activities. In February of I934 the old sailors, who had by now sailed the seven seas, began to organize as a body. The remaining sixty-seven put forth their leaders to be elected to the important offices. Many had dropped out. Some were sick, some changed ships, and still others couIdn't stand the voyage. September arrived, and the ship with its suntan crew pointed to the last leg of the journey. The boys predominated in the offices, with Harry Brightman as president, Bill Hayes as vice-president, Franklin Strand as secretary, and Don Rivard as treasurer. Riding a calm sea on the night of january thirtieth, the stout ol' ship slowly approached port. The members of the crew, their work done, stood with lumps in their throats, peering at the landing, How odd it was! They had waited months and years for this occasion, Now when it had arrived, they regretted it to a certain extent. Yes, it was a great voyage, often hard, monotonous, and exhausting, but, in the end, satisfying and helpful. Page twenty ROWING NOT DRIFTING ESTHER AGU ILAR Resolves to become famous.

Q. 1 BILL ORTEGA DON CORRIGAN JEANNE SHARPE FRED STORM President Vice President Secretary Treasurer S35 CLASS OFFICERS THE CRUISE -OF THE GOOD SHIP S'35 ln the memorable month of September, 1929, 365 grammar school admirals prepared to sail on the sea of Venice High School for a fling at fame and fortune, Let the editor take the readers through the years and give you a log of the good ship S'35, -and a tale of its crew. September, 1929 to june, 1932: The two years were spent in preparing for a stormy but pleasant journey. New acquaintances were made, new interests gained, and little by lit- tle, the mass became separated into individuals with different interests and ambitions. September, 1932: ln this year a metamorphosis was completed. The members of the class were now distinct characters in the life of the school. Men like Don Owens, Frankie Gravante, Dud Liles, Bob Polk, Carl Brooks, Woodrow Haskins, Ben Bilger, and others be- came point-winning athletes, while Art Gottlieb, Marjorie Balter, june Gleason, joe Toyo- shima, and lerv jones represented the class in scholarship. September, 1933 to March 10, 1933: The class of S'35 was again ready to add honor to its name when the disastrous earthquake came to ruin its buildings. March 25 to june, 1934: The class of S'35 came back to find an education in tents and bungalows, and it was then it showed its true colors by sticking to the ailing ship and today has brought it safely into port. September, 1934: At last they were Seniors. Approximately 150 out of the original 365 had stayed with the ship, and after five years, were eager to finish the journey. The crew was divided into two divisions, in charge of Mrs. Morrison and Mr. Fordham, and offi- cers were chosen to govern each division. Frank Gravante and Don Murchison were chosen captains, lean Crocker and jane Riley acted as first mates, and Art Gottlieb and Fred Storm served as pursers. For 15 weeks the divisions had separate interests and activities, and' then came the change. The S'35 class became a unit at last. The choice of colors to be flown into port was blue and white. Miscellaneous business was taken up, and thus ended the first half of the last year of the cruise. February 4, 1935: Port was but a short nineteen weeks away, and with this thought in mind, officers were elected to steer through the most hazardous part of the trip. Bill Ortega was chosen captain, Don Corrigan, first mate, leanne Sharpe, scribe, and Fred Storm, purser. Although they passed through dangerous waters, the joy and pleasure of their last banquet and dance was not dimmed. june 19, 1935: Port was reached at last, and amid salutes and cheers, they landed, prepared to go on the longer and more adventurous journey of life.

One of the most popular Ephebians is joe Walling. This student gained recognition in scholarship, athletics, and in social attainments. His scholarship ability is proved by his run- ning for such a high position. As a basketball and tennis star heled many a team to victory. As Chief-justice of the student court, he dealt firm and honest law, and as a yell-leader he aroused school spirit enough to help many a team to win on the field of battle. june Gleason proved herself to be a most versatile Ephebian. june was the female coun- terpart of the Prexy, for she also held high honors in G.A.A. and the Delphians, june held the offices of Student Body secretary and Delphian secretary, She received her Roman Lamp after five semesters in the Delphian society. Two years in succession she represented her school in the city-wide spelling bee. For commendable work, june was given due honor. Alvin Klein continued as one of the long line of Delphian Presidents to receive Ephebian honors. Although he was not a great athlete, Alvin showed his initiative by being feature editor of the Oarsman, and an active Cosmopolitan and band number. Alvin, through his re- sourcefulness and scholarship, won the confidence of the faculty, the office, and his class. The popular Student Body president proved his capability to such an extent that he was unanimously awarded Ephebian membership. Don was a superlative scholar' and a great ath- lete. Beside making his letters in Varsity swimming, B waterpolo, and C basketball, Don was a Roman Lamper. He served his school and fellow students in the capacities of Delphian president and treasurer, Parnassian president, yell-leader, and captain of two athletic teams. He represented the school in debating, dramatics and at all scholarship conventions. Due to his un- failing good humor, tact, and diplomacy, Don Murchison was justly honored. This unassuming lad was one of the four members of the Summer '35 class who re- ceived Ephebian honors. Quiet and calm at all times, he received life membership in this society because of his scholarship, athletic ability, and general helpfulness, Beside being one of the main factors in the editing of the i935 annual, joe was the recipient of the Roman Lamp, highest scholarship award, and letters in basketball. Congratulations! joe Toyoshirna- scholar, athlete, friend, EPHEBIAN. Page thirty-five M 1 1 1 .,f .

Since that time, the acts following have unfolded each con' secutive step toward the completion of a Gondolier which the staff has attempted to make one of the finest possible with the funds available. The chief characters ini this play, which was in reality hard work, however pleasant, have been the members of the staff who have labored diligently to provide Venice students with the best annual obtainable, and one of which everyone can be proud. The spring semester found the cast leading up to a gripping climax, with the photographic head busy securing pictures of all phases of school life, the or- ganization managers scurrying hither and yon securing material about the school activities and clubs, and the editors busy sifting and okaying the copy. As a result of the cast's earnest en- deavors at preliminary rehearsals, the Winter '35 annual contains many new features which have been absent lately from the Gondolier. Interesting facts about the graduates are presented in a new and different fashion. The theme for the Gondolier, Ships, has been thoughtfully and successfully compared to life throughout the annual. Inspiring quotations, marvelously il- lustrated by the Art Department, appear on each division page. The pictures in their finished form are larger and clearer. Snaps, a calendar of school events, and a will, make up a feature section which has caught and held the attention of every one. The curtain now has fallen, after the grand finale on the last day of school, leaving the staff satisfied that it has accom- plished its task, despite seemingly insurmountable odds.

The crew of the Oarsman worked diligently putting out a log of events and personals that every passenger of the ship Venice would enjoy. With the support of all concerned with the issuance of the paper and all the subscribers, the sailors of the pen were able to distribute 6 six page editions and one ten page Senior edition the first semester and many more the second. The special Senior editions were of particular interest to the students. Their pages con- tained such material as a prophecy of the graduates' futures, a giggle-getting What's in a Name column, a detailed study of the athletic prowess of both sexes, and' entertaining and different personals. Throughout the year there were many pictures, including group shots of the Seniors, several athletic teams, the G.A.A. board, the Delphian officers, and also various cuts appropriate to the edition in which they appeared. Club news was more elaborately writ- ten up than ever before. Class activities also received their just share of publicity. ln this way, students became interested in classes about which heretofore th bers of the student body whose names previously did not appear often in the Oarsman were publicized much more through these write-ups of classroom doings. Several columns a la Winchell also appeared weekly. ln the latter semester, a What Do You Know column furthered the intelligence of the student body. A special literary edition was issued for the purpose of giving the budding young poets and poetesses, authors and authoresse tunity of displaying their wares. A special feature edition was also published. Both Delphian editions, written by the Delphians themselves, were especially interesting.

HISTORICAL EVENT WITNESSED BY VENETIANS When approximately 3000 students and friends of Venice High school witnessed the impressive ground breaking ceremonies, january 22, l935, on the site of the three new buildings, they were witnessing one of the most important events in the history of the school. Various notables in the community and educational work attended the program, which marked the beginning of a new deal in education for Venetians. The program was opened with the flag raising and a salute to the flag by the assembled pupils and guests, followed by two selections by the Venice band. H. A. Campion, assistant superintendent of schools, who acted as chairman, then in- troduced a number of visiting school officials and Venice civic leaders. The first speaker was 1. C. Austin, the architect of the new building, who stated that the new buildings would stand any shock likely to happen in California. C+. O. Chardee, in charge of the construction work, expressed his hope that the buildings would be completed on time. Miss Katherine Carey, assistant superintendent' in charge of the western area asked that the pupils and all others interested make proper use of the new buildings when completed. Dr. Frank A. Bouelle, superintendent of the Los Angeles city schools, made a brief but interesting talk in which he mentioned that Venice was the first maior project to be started under the new eleven million dollar rehabilitation program. lVlr. E. W. Clark in his speech briefly outlined the history of Venice High, and spoke of the present ruins as The Third Pompeii of the World. He concluded by saying. I am looking forward to greater and better days, and what is more important, greater and better citizens. The president of the Venice Chamber of Commerce, Hoit Vicini, then presented the golden shovel to Barney Lescoulie, student body president. Dr. E. W. Hauck, president of the Los Angeles city board of education, turned the first shovelful of earth, and he was followed by Barney Lescoulie. The visiting officials each took a turn at turning the soil, significant of starting the work on the new structures. The ceremony was concluded with the band playing Sons of the Blue and White followed by Star Spangled Banner. Page sixty-two W' ,,.,,,-,Q f.-mm Mrs. Dando's gift.

McFarland. COACHES The Venice High Student Body is very fortunate to have such a fine staff of coaches in lVlr. Charles Green, Mr. G. O. Turney, Mr. jack Hughes, and Mr. B. McFarland. ln addition to giving regular instructions in physical education, each coach sponsors some sport activity. Coach Green is head of the department and coaches track along with C Foot- ball. By the remarkable athletes he has turned out, he is considered one of the finest track coaches in Southern California. He is so interested in his boys and the onward march of track, that he has spent many of his leisure hours fixing the track or some part of the athletic field. Doesn-'t that show the Venetian spirit? Coach Turney, having a great knowledge of football and baseball, has successfully coached the Venetian big boys . Under his guiding hand the Varsity footballers took nothing less than a second in the mighty Western League. Now turning to baseball, Coach Turney has turned out many a good baseballer. Recently, two of his proteges, Elmer Donovan and lack Dexter, have made high honors, Donovan having played for Los Angeles and Dexter for an Eastern club. Not only are good baseballers turned out by Coach Turney, but good teams also. Last year his varsity nine was headed for the league championship until the games were stopped because of a contagious plague exist- ing. His '35 squad played well, winning their share of the games. Coach Hughes has had charge- of the lightweight football along with swimming and tumbling. His well-drilled B machines have brought home three Western League cham- pionships without being scored upon, Also under his watchful eye and guidance, many a swirn- mer has been molded into a champion. Paul Wolfe, one of Coach Hughes' recent champions, has tied the world's record for the fifty meter free style swim along with other laurels. His swimming teams as a whole have been very outstanding, winning many a Western League championship. Mr, jack Hughes, also the tumbling coach, has turned out many a good tumbler as well as building up many a poorly developed body. Mr. McFarland, the new capable basketball and tennis coach, has also won laurels with his well coached teams. His Varsity basketeers lacked size-tallness. Walling, Brightman, Capt. Strand and Shatz were all quite short for basketball players. Because of this handicap, the patient Coach McFarland worked his team into speed and smoothness. As a result, the basketeers more than won their share of victories. Mr, McFarland also showed his coaching ability when many a poor service or a poor backhand would be rounded into good form and consistency by his constant help and en- couragement for his eager tennis squad.

With eight returning lettermen and many good reserves, the Venice squad was one of the strongest teams in the history of the school. The returning lettermen were Captain Lescoulie, Don Owens, George Benne, john Glo- ver, Lyle Ashburn, Dud Liles, Gene Eldridge, and Everett Hale, but the Venetian victories could not have been without the great abilities of Frank Gravante, Gordon McRae, Chet White, Bob Rice, Robert Polk, Carl Brooks, and Cox Hollis. What was the result of this thundering herd of footballers? Nothing less than a second in the mighty reconstructed West- ern League of L.A., Hollywood, Beverly, Fairfax and Hamilton. The Gondoliers failed to fare so well in the early practice games, losing to Redondo Sea-Hawks by a i2-7 margin and to Fairfax by a score of I3-6, but the Venice Ball Hawks were never out-classed. THE GREAT GAME, SAMOHI-VENICE, O-O At the end of the half the score stood O-O. At the end of the game the score stood O-O, but oh how Venice played. The beautiful passing of Gravante, the blocking and plung- ing of the backs, the Stone Wall of the line, headed by McRae and' Hale, gave the Gridders of Samohi such a terrific beating that they had to drag themselves from the field. AT LAST THE jlNX IS BROKEN. Page sixty-nine Viv it 1 gif THE WESTERN LEAGUE VENICE7 LA. 6 Before a crowded grandstand and with a warm October sun shining on Clark turf, the Over-confident Romans of l..A. romped to the small end of a 7 to 6 score. This is how it happened: The Romans scored late in the first quarter with Casper running 55 y2rdS 00 B Splnfiel' over right tackle. Whitey Polk blocked the pass for the extra point. Venice was the superior on the offensive having two real threats in the second quarter but failed to score a touchdown after they reached the five-yard strip. With only eight minutes to play inthe last quarter, Venice finally crashed through for her precious touch- down, with a beautiful pass from C-ravante to the clutching arms of Hale. A fake kick and a pass again from C-ravante to Hale scored the point that decided the victor of the day. 3 venice O HOLLYWOOD 6 What constitutes a dirt field after a rain? MUD. That was Hollywood's field. The Venice squad played like royal Venetians, but the moistened soil was too much for them. Venice made threats in the second quarter when the consistent passing of Cravante to Hale and Rice put the ball in scoring distance. The movie team, undaunted by the sudden turn of affairs, opened up a bucking Offense with Seiling and Melindez as the most con- sistent yard gainers. For the Venetians, the passing combination of l-lale and Cravante was again the main punch for Venice. Rice also showed his talent in catching passes by pulling a couple very nicely out of the air. Polk, Owens, and Carlucci, along with C-ravante looked very nice in the backfield with their hard-hitting defensiveness. On the line, Captain Lescoulie was a feature by himself. His tackling was outstand- ing and he was death to the Hollywood backs. The others that were very outstanding were Benne, Clover, Ashburn, McRae, Elliott, jones and Rice. Due to injuries both lVlcRae and Ashburn had to leave the game. VENICE i9 BEVERLY O Again the sun was shining, again the grandstands were crowded, and again the mighty well-oiled Venice machine marched to victory over the mightiest of Norman teams-i9-O, Again with Cravante at the helm, the Condoliers unleashed many well-executed running plays, but again the .aerial attack was by far the greatest standout of the game. After being slightly outplayed in the first half, Venice came back strong in the gecond period to take to the air and utterly massacred the visiting Normans. The Venetians opened the second half receiving the kick-off. After a few exchanges of kicks the Venetians re- covered a fumbled punt deep in its Norman territory. On the first play Cravante faded back and heaved a pass into the eager arms of Chet Wh't f h f Cravante to Polk added the extra point. I e or t e irst touchdown. A pass from Venice started its rally again in the fourth quarter when Cravante showed his alert ness by intercepting a pass and behind excellent blocking of Captain Lescoulie and h' I' men, he ran 40 yards for a touchdown. Before you could say lack Robinson Polk hadsintree- cepted the Norman pigskin and once again Venice was in scoring distance. Cin the next l F- C-ravante waved his ball-ladened arm to Rice and Venice had another touchdown Vpfzlyl failed to convert on both of the last occasions. l emce Page seventy ni if Mx T ll FRANKIE ORAVANTE PLUNCES THROUGH LINE FOR GAIQN IN vENicE-i..A. FOOTBALL GAME. . Q . 1 - ,, ,Q . B X A . ,, Y, i VENICE 6 HAMlLTON O On this day, November 2, the proud Venice squad traveled to Hamilton to play its final game in the Western League. This is what happened there: The first half was evenly fought with Venice having a small edge on the offensive with Cravante and Owens getting away for nice gains. ln the second quarter, Venice entered into the scoring zone, when a pass to Carlucci was good for 30 yards. The outstanding feature of the first half was the punting duel between C-ravante of Venice and Zom.ar of Hamilton. Both were able to put the teams out of holes with their long spiral kicks. Venice opened the second half realizing its running attack was checked, so it very wisely took to the air with the history making combination of Gravante and Hale playing a big part. They started with a series of passes that netted 45 yards, only to lose the ball on downs. A fumble, recovered by Owens, again put the fighting Venetians in scoring territory. Then a pass from Cravante to White, put the ball over for the only touchdown. A try for conversion was not good and homeward the proud Venetian marched. . To decide the second best team between the Western and City Leagues, the Condoliers of Venice played the Parrots of Poly High. Due to the loss of Gravante, Owens, and Cullens, Mentor Turney had a major job on his hands to fill these positions. First of all, the fullback position went to a future tennis great, Harry Caylor. The halfback berths to Carlucci, White, and Brooks and the quartering went to Polk. The encounter: The Parrots showed one of the strongest offensive attacks seen this year in the city. They scored in every quarter, three times in the first, once in the second, once in the third, and twice in the last. T Venice made her only scoring threat in the last quarter in the closing minutes of play. With a series of passes and runs, the ball was brought to the Parrot's l3 yard line. With wvo tries at the line, and one minute left, Carlucci, Venice's star of the day who played the full sixty minutes, then passed over the goal to Rice, but the ball fell to the ground incomplete. Besides Carlucci, others that looked good for Venice were Polk, McRae, Ashburn, De Ghionno, Benne, Caylor, Capt. Lescoulie, Clover, White, Hale, Rice, Brooks, and Hollis. Under the guiding hand of Coach Grayson Turney, two of his proteges were able to make the All-City team, Hale on the first, and C-ravante, on the second. Why shouldn't they make it? Anyone that could play the all-around, heads-up football that they did, deserves it. Page seventy-one SJR!

B FOOTBALL Opening the i935 football season with six returning lettermen, Coach jack Hughes, again endeavored to cop his fourth leaguei cha-mpioinship, but due to the lack of good material, the Venetians, led by Captain Earl McConnell, finished with only a tie for second place, win- ning five games, losing two and tying one. I The fullback job was filled by George Babajian and Chuck Ohannian, while Capt. Earl McConnell, Mike Criffy and joe Lescoulie acted as halfbacks. At quarterback both Harold Grove and Raul Treosti called signals, with Nibs Goldsmith, Leonard Kirkelie, Vance Vor- dam, at ends. The tackle positions were held down by julian Busey and Bob Bible, the guards were Hilogi Okamoto and Willie Firetag. The center of the line was held down by Bill Walk and Don Corrigan. Meeting North Hollywood in their first practice game the Venetians netted' well in her jaunt by returning with a 78-O victory over her weak opponents. Practically everyone in the first and second string backfields scored a touchdown, Playing on a muddy and dirt turf, the Venetians completely outplayed their ancient riv- als, Santa Monica, on their own gridiron, and defeated them i3-O, This game featured the sensational runback of sixty yards of a punt to a touchdown by Earl McConnell. Ohannian was the other scorer for Venice on a line buck of five yards. Meeting the Los Angeles Romans in their league opener, the cocky Venetians were played dizzy and were lucky to come through in a i4-O defeat. Babajian was the only Vene- tian back who seemed able to gain ground against the polished Roman team. The Venetians barely received a tie in the meeting of the Hollywood Sheiks in their second league game. After four quarters of hard playing and with both teams muffing chances to score, the game ended in a O-O score. Trouncing and scoring thirteen points to their opponents nothing, Venice defeated the Beverly Hill-Billies for the fourth straight year. Babajian scored first in this contest, topped off by a twelve yard run to a touchdown by McConnell. Victorious against Venice's keenest rival Hamilton, by a score of i4-O, the Venetians brought their league competition to a close. The Venetian passing attack clicked in the game and as the result found Crove snagging a thirty-'five yard pass from McConnell for the first score and Babajian passing to Treosti for the second score. With thi s victory came a tie for second place.

C FOOTBALL The Class C team of Venice High was revived after three years, to give the younger set experience in the manly art of football. Coach Charles Green, who handled the last Class C team, and who was rewarded by this team with .a Western League Championship, found he had a hard job on his hands in teaching the sandlot youngsters real football. Out of forty-two mighty midgets reporting, Coach Green found only a mere handful who really knew how to don a football suit. So with three League games in the future, the small and inexperienced group began their conquest. With Captain lkie Taylor at the helm, and with Steve Carlson and Gordon Stangland helping, the mighty C grid machine started on its march to victory or to defeat. Playing against terrific odds in experience, size, and weight, the Class C team bowed before the onslaught of a polished Roman team, After four hopeless quarters, Venice was on the short end of a 35-O score. Baffled from the start by a superior team in every depart- ment of play, the little boys did not have a fighting chance. So back to hard practice and fundamentals went the youngsters, only to be defeated by the Toilers of Manual Arts in another lopsided affair, with Manual scoring 25 points to the Venetian's 6. Showing a vast improvement over their first game, the Venetians were able to score 6 points, when Carlson snared a punt and weaved his way 70 yards to a touch- down. The Babes lost their last League game to the Fairfax Colonials by a score of 25-7. The Colonials dazzled our boys with spread formations that were new to the Venetians and which proved too much for them. Not being drilled completely on this department of play, the boys were dumb-founded when their opponents spread across the field in different posi- tions. Venice's score came when Machado tossed a beautiful pass to Wynn, who caught the ball and romped to a touchdown. Captain lkie Taylor then battled his way through the center of the line in a terrific thrust that netted the Venetians the conversion point. Although losing three games and only scoring l3 points to their opponents 85 points, the youngsters promised to be good material next year to the lightweight team, and will seek revenge against their next year opponents.

With Guy Leon- hardt, the only returning letterman, Capt. Strand, Walling, Brightman, Kratofil, and Shatz, the capable Coach McFarland molded a fast, smooth running team. On Dec. 6, l935, the light but fast team traveled to meet the Romans at L.A. When gazing upon both squads, it looked as if Mutt and jeff were around, but the score at the end of the half was l3-l3, ln the second half, L.A. seemed to snap out of its daze and the score began to mount against the Venetians. The courage of the team, Brightman, Walling, Strand, Shatz, and Leonhardt did not weaken and when the final whistle blew, the score was only 35-22. The loss of Kratofil due to an injured foot was a great set back to the team. The following week, the Sheiks from Hollywood raced to the large end of a 42-i3 score. The Venetian varsity, minus the services of Capt. Strand, went down gallantly, fight- ing a hopeless battle, Brightman and Walling were the main scoring threats for Venice, each scoring five points and being very strong on the defensive. Leonhardt, Lennon, and the sensational Shatz played well. When the Venetians Basketeers moped from the Norman gym with their heads low, it was because of a 36-19 defeat. Leading in the first quarter by a score of 6-4, the Venetians fought hard to maintain their small lead, but the Norman's effective plays began to click and at the end of the half the score was I3-9 in Beverly's favor. Walling and Strand were the only Venetians who seemed able to score any points and between the two they scored I4 of Venice's points. Brightman and Shatz did not play their usual game and were unable to score. The third quarter saw Beverly Hills increasing its lead to a greater advantage with lO points to Venice's five. ln the fourth period, the Norman plays were working to perfection that netted them the game by a 36 to i9 margin, Walling led the Venetian scorers with 9 points, Strand followed with 5 points, Leonhardt made three foul shots to account for his points. The starting line up for Venice was Walling, Strand, Leonhardt, Brightman, and Shatz. Although on the short end, Coach lVlcFarland played practically all his substitutes. They were Tinsman, Wells, Allen, and Harris.

B BASKETBALL With basketball prospects unusually bright, the Venetian lightweights under Coach McFarland looked as if they would head for a New Western League Championship. Although lacking in size and weight the team was well balanced with Captain Mertens and Di Paola, forwards, Don Rivard and Dick Capp, guards, and jerry Wilson, center. The Venetian sub- stitutes who saw much action were Max Sinclair, jesse Rosenquist, Tom McKinley, and Ted Pinger. Averaging well in their practice tilts, the Venetians won two out of three games. De- feating Canoga Park by a terrific score of 68-lO, the lads played well and executed their plays in a satisfactory manner. Meeting Inglewood next, the lights again annexed a win by defeating the Sentinels 25-l l. In a bitterly contested battle that featured our ancient rival Samohi, the Venetians tasted their first defeat 26-20. The first three quarters found both evenly matched, but in the closing minutes, the Viking team clicked to lead the Venetians by six points at the end of the game. Meeting a synchronated basketball team that worked their fast breaking plays to per- fection, the Venetians were trounced 32-l6 in their first league encounter by Los Angeles. The game was rough and fast with many players taken from the game because of personal fouls. Hollywood 38, Venice 8, made a very lopsided and ragged game. Venice was completely outclassed from start to finish. Hollywood displayed one of the best teams ever seen on the local courts. Captain Mertens, Rivard, and Di Paolo looked good despite the score. Snapping out of their daze they defeated Beverly Hills l3-l2 in one of the most excit- ing thrillers of the season. Swishing shots by Captain Mertens, Di Paolo, and Rivard kept the Venetians just one point ahead of the rolling Norman five. Leading by one point until the last forty seconds, the Venetians were defeated by Hamil- ton, when a Yankee guard swished the net for two points making the score Z3-22. The first string was benched during this game, but they could not have done much better than the second string. In the two inter-locking games which followed, the Venetians were defeated by Car- field and Huntington Park. Height proved to be the main reason for the Venetians' defeat. Some of the Iightweights who played their last games were Captain Mertens, Don Rivard and jerry Wilson, The Venetians ended the season in fourth place. Page seventy-five 'iivif' y.

Led by Captain Dud Liles at third base those who saw the most action were: Krill and Kirkelie, catchers, Houtz and Cripe, pitchers, Machado, first base, Kratofil, second base, Ortega and Ecker, shortstopsg Niles, left field, Griffey, centerfield. Liles and Ortega were switched to the out field during the season and there turned in good consistent fielding. The Western League opened with the Venice ball squad defeating the Hollywood Shieks by'a'sc-czfof 4 to l. Houtz on the mound came through with seven strikeouts, and l.OOO point batting as did Griffey, Krill, and Kratofil. Out for blood, Hollywood nosed out a victory of 6 to 5 over Venice in the second game. Outstanding in spite of defeat were Griffey, Heidenrick, Houtz, and Ortega. Traveling to Washington's freak hill and dale field, the Venetiaris lost ia heartbreak- ing game to Washington. The score stood I3 to IZ. Used to a green turf and smooth bounces, Venice baseballers allowed many balls to go by their gloves as errors. Captain Liles was the main scoring threat, crossing the home plate three times, while Ortega, Kratofil, and Niles followed with one apiece. In the second game with the Colonels playing on the home field, the baseballers showed Washington how baseball can really be played. jinx and double jinx crossed the Venice Varsity's track at the end of the first game with Los Angeles. Venice was the loser and Los Angeles was the lucky winner. To prove this point in a return game Venice trounced the over--grown mighty Romans 6 to 4. Kirkelie was the big sticker for Venice getting three hits out of four trips to the plate. Captain Liles playing, consistent, steady ball cracked out two singles. The Venetian Varsity nine came back to the winning column again when they defeated Hamilton to the tune of 5 to 4 in an eight inning game played on the Yankee diamond. Kratofil, Ortega, Niles, and Houtz scored the runs for Venice. Lowell Cripe's chucking won the second Hollywood-Venice game for Venice by an 8 to 5 margin with a total of twelve men called out on strikes. This game saw Kratofil batting .75O, Ortega and Niles SOO and also swats by Kirkelie and Houtz. The first game with Fairfax turned out to be a l6-3 defeat for the Venetians. Ven- ice's tea-m looked outclassed. Machado led the batting with two hits out of three, Houtz with one out of two, and Ortega, Niles, and Captain Liles one out of three.

A TRACK With seventy-one proteges answering Coach Creen's track call, the outlook for the season looked like a good one for Venice. There was plenty of new material to give the twenty returning lettermen a lot of tough competition for places on the squad. Captain Don Owens and Tony Kratofil were the main standouts in the hurdlesi. Kratofil also com- peted in the high jump and pole-vault. ln the century and furlong Prillwitz filled the bill. Bob Polk rambled through the 440, while Brooks ran the 220 and l00. Lawrence broad jumped, and jerry Wilson and Glenn Cergen ran the distances. VENICE 6l 2-3-S.M. 421-3 With a strong finish in the last events, the Venetians pulled a sneaker to defeat the Vikings of Santa Monica. Tony Kratofil was individual star of this meet when he took first in the pole-vault, high jump, and high hurdles, scoring i5 points. Polk and jacobs followed next with l0 and 8 points respectively. Due to this victory over Santa Monica, it looked as if the Venetians were going to VENI bring home the bacon. CE 48-COMPTON 56 Meeting Compton in their second track fest, the Venetians were defeated 56-48. Although strong in the dash events, the Condoliers seemed too cocky. Prillwitz pulled a surprise to cop the l00 and the when Captain Don Owens left the hurdles. Polk came through with a lack lacobs tossed the shot put 46 220 in fast times. Venice also took both hurdle races field in the low hurdles and Tony Kratofil in the high tie for first in the 440 and a second in the broad jump. ft. 2 in. for a first place. CITY RELAYS Scoring in every event, the Venetian tracksters took third place honors in division three at the Relay Games of l.,A. City l-ligh Schools, trailing Van Nuys, the division winner, by four points, and Riis, the second place team, by two points. The Venetians that were awarded medals were C-ergen, Wilson, Myers, and Vorndam, the four two-mile team, and Grove, Kratofil, Polk and Owens by virtue of their finishing second in the 480 L.H. shuttle. ln the event that the Condolier is going to the press at an early date, the final track meet results can not be recorded. Tony Kratofil, Don Owens, lack jacobs, Robert Polk and Wulff Prillwitz all promise to make a good showing in the future meets.

Due to the early date of the Gondolier going to the press, the complete results of the class B squad will not be given. Although there were only a few experienced class B track-men answer- ing the track call, Mr. Green through keeping a watchful eye on gym classes was able to encourage the more backward students to compete in track events. With many green and inexperienced tracksters filling in the gaps in the ranks of the team, Coach Greene launched his squad against Santa Monica only to be defeated 6l-34 in a brilliantly displayed part of fighting to the end by the Venetians, There were three indi- vidual stars in the Santa Monica meet who promised to garner points in the future meets. Don Corrigan and Sinclair copped firsts in their events. McKinley took two firsts, one in the high hurdles and one in the high jumpl. Entering the Los Angeles Relays with only a slim chance of taking any events against any of the tough competitors participating in the meet, two of the B's placed in the Class B and C 4 man llfg mile relay team, consisting of Simons and Rosenquist. Dropping down from the good standard of showmanship in the previous meets the Venetians copped a third place in a point meet with Hollywood and Hamilton. Venice scored i4 points to Hamilton's 26, and Hollywood's 76. The B's seemed to be in a muddle and could not pull through to any wins. ln a meet that was decided by the relay the Venetians defeated Hamilton, our Western League rival, 48 to 47. The boys all came through to win in an exciting track fest. Meeting Beverly Hills on the Norman track the B's returned with a 68-Z7 defeat. Page seventy-nine l V . P ff lf' . Q , .X , X it' .

Under the captaincy of Seiji Kato, the Venetian Class C's experienced a successful season under Coach Green, winning three and losing three meets. With only a handful of boys to work with, Mr. Green trained the lads into a competitive squad of tracksters that defeated Santa Monica, Hamilton, and Hollywood. Although defeated by superior teams in Compton, Beverly, and Huntington Park, the lads looked good to the loyal Venetians who witnessed the track feats. Captain Kato, Yumori, Barry, Warren, Fukuchi, jones, and Len- non were the consistent point earners of the season. Green, lacking in height, weight and strength, the inexperienced C's met the pol- ished C squad of Compton to be trounced Sl-Z6 in a meet that saw Compton taking al- most every first and second place. Meeting and completely outclassing Samohi in their next meet, the C's showed a new power in both track and field events. Defeating Samohi, 53 2f3 to 23 lf3, heartened the squad to go out to greater heights in trackdom. Fresh from their own win over Santa Monica, the C's entered a triangle meet with Hamilton and Hollywood to return with a victory over their two Western League opponents. This meet was the most exciting of the season ending in the close scores of Venice 3l, Holly- wood 29 lf2, Hamilton 27 lf2. Getting cocky over their two straight victories, the youngsters were treated with a swell head lesson when Huntington Park trimmed them 6l-l6, the worst defeat the Vene- tians annexed during the season. In this meet it looked as if no Venetians were entered in the different events, as the Huntington Park lads were having a track meet amongst them- selves. In a close meet, Hamilton almost pulled a surprise and' nearly defeated Venice. After the relay was run the score was in favor of Venice 4l-36. Hamilton showed much more power than it did in the triangle meet and gave the Venetians a scare. ln the last league meet the Venetians were defeated by Beverly Hills 52-25. The Vene- tians were sadly outclassed in all events and were glad when the last event was run off. Although beaten badly in some of the meets the C's showed a fighting instinct, and considering the material and the number of students answering the track call, Mr. Green and Captain Kato did well to bring the squad through the season as they did. Compliments go to Barry, Yumori, Warren, Fukuchi, jones, and Lennon for the ability to take it.

Mrs. Dingle is head of the department and she sponsors the O.A.A. Board. She also takes over all the B7 girls entering the gym classes, in this way becoming acquainted with all of them and being able to help the doctor with their health records and to determine whether they belong in a corrective or regular gym class. Mrs. Morrison is in charge of the corrective and nutrition classes. These classes are an extremely important feature of the athletic department. Every girl in school is examined regularly by Doctor Wells who is sent out by the city one morning a week for this purpose. The doctor determines whether or not the girls are up to standard in general health. If a girl has something wrong with her heart, feet, eyes, posture, etc., the doctor places her in the class best suited to her particular need. lf it is something that can be corrected by ex- ercises, the girl is placed in the corrective class where different groups of girls with various difficulties to overcome work together to correct, or if not to fully correct, to improve them- selves. If a girl has something more serious wrong with her and is unable to participate even in light gym work, she is placed' in a rest class where she does absolutely no active gym work, merely resting for a period a day. These classes perform a great service to the girls for whom regular gym work is impossible and a great deal of credit is due those who make these classes possible by checking and aiding these girls in overcoming their particular fail- ing. Another important division of the girls athletic department is the sports class coached by Miss Miles who takes the special sports, tennis and archery, and Miss Biscoe who takes the more general sports such as volleyball, basketball, hockey and baseball, In this class sportsmanship rather than winning is emphasized. The work is similar to that of the regu- lar gym classes but the physical standard is higher and more is expected of these girls who comprise the Gi.A.A., attend the Play Days, etc. Due to the encouragement and coopera- tion given the girls by their coaches, Miss Miles and Miss Biscoe, not only is a lot expected, but a lot is obtained. All in all it would be difficult to find a coaching staff more complete in every respect than the one composed of Mrs. Dingle, Mrs. Morrison, Miss Miles and Miss Biscoe, who are to be sincerely commended on all they have done for the girls of Venice High in the form of athletic work.
