Harding (1865-1923, served 1921-1923), recently deceased. The school was renamed in 1929. UCLA moved from East Hollywood to Westwood, and former President Harding’s reputation fell after the infamous Teapot Dome scandal and other situations. ^{[ citation needed ]} Name University It is thought to have originated because it became a place where faculty from nearby UCLA worked as teaching assistants/interns. ^{[ citation needed ]}

  The original administration building was designed by Russell & Alpaugh and construction began in 1923. The chosen style is reminiscent of the Romanesque style of northern Italy and the architecture of the Spanish mission. The administration building once had an octagonal tower and portico, but these elements were destroyed in the 1933 Long Beach earthquake. The original cafeteria building was located on the site of the current cafeteria and theater. Although the gym and the beautiful and admirable gym were condemned after 1971 years old. Sylmar earthquake, the original main school building from 1924 is still in use. The music building and gym (rebuilt in the early 1980s) were scheduled to be demolished because they are on a fault line and therefore against district policy. As of July 2010, there is no music building. ^{[2] [3]}

  Music lessons have been moved to another unused room at the top of the school. The gym was still in use while a new gym was under construction on the south end of campus on the former student parking lot in 2010.

  Uni is one of the very few WWII high schools in Los Angeles whose buildings have been at least partially affected by three major earthquakes since their founding. The main building has a very traditional and dignified look with weathered brick and arched doorways such that the campus is popular with film crews (see #On-campus filming). A third of his class 1942 years did not finish due to the internment of Japanese Americans.

  In 2009, Mitchell Landsberg of Los Angeles Times stated that the school is “struggling to regain its reputation as a center of excellence”. ^[6] In the same year, the Academy of Engineering was established as part of a grant program in the secondary school. ^[6]

  In the entire 88-year history of the University School, the football/baseball field did not have stadium lights until they were installed in the spring of 2012. ^[7]

  Native American heritage

  Main articles: Serra Springs (CA) and Tongwa

  Located on campus is Serra Springs, California Historic Landmark No. 522. Springs called Kuruwungna by locals. Gabrieleno Tongva peoples of Tongva used as a source of natural fresh water the peoples of Tongva from 400 BC and they continue to produce 22,000-25,000 gallons of water per day. ^[8] The springs are located in two different locations on campus. The larger one is currently closed off from the rest of campus and is under the care of the Gabrielino/Tongva Springs Foundation. Before it was enclosed, the area surrounding the springs and the pond into which its waters flow was popular among students as a meeting place and recreation. Another source is located in the northeast of the so-called Maiden’s Field. The third source was further north, near Texas Avenue, but it stopped flowing at 1940s, when the local water company began to extract water from the aquifer. ^[9]

  At Portola The Expedition of 1769, one of the two expeditions that led to the founding of Los Angeles, camped at the village of Curuvunga, traveling the route that would become known as El Camino Real. Serra’s name comes from Father Junipero Serra founder of the Alta California mission network, which is reported to have told Massa to go there. ^[11] In the 1800s, the spring served as a source of water for the city of Santa Monica. ^[8]

  Construction of the school in 1925 unearthed evidence of a Native American village, and in 1975 a grave was unearthed at what archaeologists now believe to be a burial site.

  Indian Springs Continuation High School was opened in 1980 and is located on the Springs side of campus. ^[12]

  In 1992, tribal descendants, community members, and school teachers and students formed the non-profit Gabrielino/Tongva Springs Foundation to fight a proposed construction project in the block north of the springs that would cut off underground springs. . water source. They successfully fought the proposed parking structure, and the Foundation has been working at the sources ever since. ^{[13] [14]}

  In the same year, the newly formed Foundation hosted the first annual Life Before Columbus Day event. ^[15] Held each year just before Columbus Day and celebrating the history of the Tongva nation and people, it is known to attract over 600 people in some years, including Native Americans from various tribes, local politicians, community members, and students and teachers from the school. ^{[13] [16] [17]}

  The activity includes tours of the Kuruvunga village and springs, performances by dancers from the Tongva and Aztec tribes, and storytelling from the Chumash tribe. ^{[16] [17]} There are also practical classes offered by real Indian vendors. ^[16] The Foundation currently leases the site from the Los Angeles Unified School District for their monthly ceremonies and tours. ^[13]

  Newspapers

  Wildcat

  The weekly student newspaper, the Wildcat , is part of the National High School Advertising Network. Printed editions from the school’s founding under the name Harding High are available at the Journalism Archives. More recent editions have previously been archived online at My High School Journalism. ^[18] website operated by the American Society of Newspaper Editors

  Warrior

  Anxiety was an underground student newspaper founded in 1966 year. At least seven Concern employees have been transferred to other high schools, suspended or given probation. ^{[19] [20]}

  Red Wave

  In Red Wave was an underground campus newspaper. ^[21] Its first issue appeared in November 1971. ^{[22] [23]} After two students were suspended for distributing Red Wave No. 2, 500-700 Uni students occupied the administration building. ^[24]

  In Red Wave challenged the Warrior talisman as a racist. Twenty-five years later, on September 8, 1997, the LAUSD Board of Education voted to remove the mascot as part of a ban on Native American symbols. ^[25] In 1995, the Los Angeles and Bay Area Red Wave affiliates moved to Detroit, where they organized campaigns for free Gary Tyler and other campaigns against racism. ^[26]

  Talisman controversy

  Warrior, the mascot of the University School, as it seemed to be contradictory.

  The school’s mascot used to be Warrior, ^[27] but was changed after the Southern California Indian Center ^[28] petitioned LAUSD to eliminate the mascots and names of all schools that have an American Indian mascot and names. In 1997, the LAUSD decided to eliminate all American Indian mascots. ^[29] LAUSD decision upheld in federal court, ^[30] but California’s Racial Mascot Act, ^{[31] [32]} A bill excluding American Indian mascots and names statewide was vetoed by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger twice. ^[33]

  By the end of the 1997-1998 school year, students were allowed to vote for a new school mascot. Students preferred “Wild Cats” to “Alligators” and “Jaguars”. As a senior project and gift to the school, the class of 1985 painted a large Warrior mascot at the south entrance of the gym building. Shortly after the mascot change, it was painted over with a cat animal replacement.

  Two new LAUSD high schools opened in the fall of 2005, four more in the fall of 2006, and another in the fall of 2007, resulting in a reduction in transfers to other high schools. ^{[ citation needed ]}

  Name change

  Beginning in 2018-2019, the University became an affiliated charter school and changed its name to Charter University High School. Affiliated Charter Schools receive flexibility in using the Charter School Category Block Grant (for those qualifying Affiliated Charter Schools that receive it) in areas of curriculum and professional development; some aspects of local school management; and some aspects of employee selection. If you are enrolled in an affiliated charter school, you do not need to use the district’s approval process. ^[42] This is a public school that welcomes students from all over Los Angeles. However, non-resident students must complete this Single Application for Enrollment.

  Preservation of ficus

  Ficus trees after removal of cement and before pruning.

  Groundwater from Kuruvungna springs supports seven mature Indian laurel ficus trees on campus that build a path between the classroom building and one of the parking lots for two teachers. In September 2002, LAUSD Site D announced that it would remove seven ficus trees lining the exterior of the classroom building because the roots had grown into the concrete in the parking lot and were pushing it up, creating a potential hazard. ^[43]

  In response to the announcement of the removal, a campaign was launched to stop the removal of trees. Notably, the student petition garnered 1,200 signatures (about half of the students) and public participation came from the city of Santa Monica and from the Brentwood and West Los Angeles neighborhood councils. ^{[44] [45] [46] [47]}

  In response to public outcry, LAUSD held meetings to determine what would happen to the trees. Walter Warriner, Santa Monica Arborist, suggested installing rubber sidewalks from Rubbersidewalks, Inc. that could easily be lifted up to trim tree roots for maintenance. ^[43] After months of negotiations, LAUSD decided not to remove the trees and agreed to install rubber sidewalks, making the University High School the first high school in the United States to use rubber sidewalks to preserve its trees. ^[44] Installation of rubber sidewalks began on November 20, 2003, more than a year after the LAUSD originally condemned the trees. Huell Houser for the California Gold. ^[48] Uni High rubber pavement episode aired on KCET on January 28, 2004. ^[49] Rubber asphalt was also used to refill concrete in the teachers’ parking lot. ^[49]

  Filming on campus

  The school, which has retained much of its original architecture, is one of the few pre-World War II pre-World War II schools in Los Angeles. Its brick facades, wide hallways and “unique view of the east coast” make the school an attractive location for filming. ^{[50] [51] [52] [53]} An administration that allows filming during school hours, moves classrooms as needed, and allows productions to make minor changes to campus, has a long history of attracting filming (and the money that goes with them) to school. ^{[54] [55]}

  The use of the school for filming is controversial. ^[56] Filming often takes place during school hours, students and teachers are escorted out of classrooms, and footpaths are closed as necessary. ^{[54] [57]} The school often undergoes renovations prior to filming, ranging from refurbishment and painting to the temporary removal of furniture and lockers. ^{[55] [58]} These failures are the cause of complaints from students and teachers. ^{[53] [56]}

  Previous articles in Wildcat addressed not only students, ^{[55] [59]} but how money from constant filming is spent. Newsrooms complained about some of the money that goes to LAUSD, ^[59] and how the school spends money. ^{[56] [60] [61]}

  Collegiate High School charges the standard fee for each day of filming (currently $2,500). ^[62] Part of the money earned goes to FilmL.A., Inc., formerly Entertainment Industry Development Corporation, ^[63] which acts as an intermediary between LAUSD and the entertainment industry. ^[64] Name change following the appointment of a new president and chief financial officer ^{[65] [66]} , and appeared as the company prepared to relocate headquarters and implement a revised contract with the Los Angeles City Council, helped separate the private nonprofit from its “bureaucratic and scandal-ridden image.” ^{[67] [68] [69]}

  In March 2005, after soliciting proposals from other vendors, LAUSD entered into a new three-year contract with EIDC. ^{[68] [70]} Ruben Rojas, LAUSD director of revenue growth, said the district chose to continue with EIDC because of “its proven track record and ability to resolve complex film licensing issues.” ^[70] Indeed, during this time FilmL.A. expanded the number of schools filmed on location from 19 schools to over 200 schools: coordinated the filming of 1,500 films at 250 LAUSD locations. ^{[62] [71]} LAUSD generated almost $1 million in film revenue for the 2003-2004 school year, and the district plans to increase annual film revenue to at least $1.5 million. ^{[62] [71] [72]}

  LAUSD film revenue doubling in the four years since FilmL.A. was hired in March 2002, which contributed to the Burbank Unified School District’s decision to hire Film L.A. in July 2006. ^[73]

  Under current contract FilmL.A. with the city, the company receives a “16% management fee on total usage fees”. ^[62] 75 percent of the remaining film money goes to individual schools filming on location and used at the school’s discretion, and 25 percent goes to a district fund that benefits schools that do not receive their own film income. ^{[70] [74]}

  Uni High distributes to departments the first $12,000 it makes each year from filming on campus. ^[61] The Budget Committee makes recommendations on spending any additional funds. Recent budget cuts have made filming in schools more attractive. ^{[50] [54] [56] [72]} In 2004, the number of schools volunteering to film increased from 19 to 160, and the district’s annual film revenue doubled to 1 million dollars. ^[54] In 2005, LAUSD officials reviewed the county’s pay structure for the first time since 1992. The revision included an extension of the full shooting day from 2 to 3 pm and an increase in the daily rate from $1,700 to $2,500. ^[70]

  Uni is mentioned in the press as one of the most popular film schools, even when compared to other local schools with a similar structure and appearance. ^{[56] [72]} Between 2001 and 2003, 38 films, TV shows and commercials were filmed at the University School. ^[54] This popularity, with its positive and negative consequences, is attributed to the assistant director of the school, who is in charge of filming on campus. ^[56]

  In November 2006, Drillbit Taylor starring Owen Wilson began filming at uni. As of April 2007, the $90,000 received for this production is the most the school has made under an individual filming contract. ^[55] Uni underwent extensive refurbishment to prepare for the filming of Drillbit Taylor . The interior and exterior of the main building were painted, and the main building was also renovated. The façade of the building was changed to read “McKinley High School” and plants and patches of grass were added throughout the school. ^[55]

  These changes were unusual not only because the scope and timing of the changes meant that construction took place during the school year, but also because the Drillbit Taylor production did not pay for the re-tightening. ^[58] The county has allocated money to re-tile floors throughout the property. LAUSD, ^[58] so re-tiled flooring in itself was not unusual or controversial. However, since the production of the film determined the choice of color for the re-tiling and the construction schedule, many students were frustrated by the behavior of the film company and the school. ^[58]

    History

    Designed in the Collegiate Gothic style by architect George M. Lindsey and built in 1930, John Marshall High School first opened its doors on January 26, 1931, with about 1,200 students and 48 teachers. Joseph Sniffen, after whom the auditorium was named, served as director, and Hugh Boyd and Geraldine Keith served as Marshall’s first vice directors. The football field was named after Boyd and the library was named after Keith.

    During the school’s first semester, teachers and students jointly chose the school’s motto, seal, and colors. The school’s motto, Veritas Vincit (Truth conquers…), was an easy choice as it was John Marshall’s favorite saying. The school seal features an open Book of Learning behind which is designed the Scales of Justice with Veritas Vincit written on the stand. Two shades of blue became the official high school colors; the moon blue of midnight and the solar blue of dawn. As the color blue is a symbol of truth, the choice of colors was in harmony with the school’s motto. John Montapert and Henry Suikida, two of Marshall’s students who graduated from Winter Class 1939 years old, composed “Alma Mater”, the official school song.

    School mascot – “Barrister”. The service organization of the school is Continentals. A bust of John Marshall stands in the center of the senior court.

    It was in the Los Angeles High School District until 1961 when it merged into LAUSD.

    After the 1971 Sylmar earthquake, some of Marshall’s buildings were destroyed. The cafeteria was demolished, but the Los Feliz community, led by Citizens to Save Marshall activists Cheryl Boller, Joanne Gabrielson, Alberta Burke, and Nina Mohi, campaigned tirelessly to save the unique Collegiate Gothic main building. At 19In 75 this building was closed for structural reinforcement and all classrooms moved to temporary bungalows. In September 1980, the renovated Main Building opened. The new building now houses the library, cafeteria, and science classrooms. Mike Haynes Stadium, the school’s football and track and field stadium, also dates from 1981.

    In one basketball game in 1986, Jerry Simon, who was Los Angeles 3-A Player of the Year for that season, scored 69points to Marshall, setting a new record for most points in a single game for a Los Angeles high school student. the team won 98-61.

    Today, Marshall has about 2,400 students and 106 faculty members.

    Bobby Chacon

    Do you have a job that you love? The work of a lifetime. A case in which you plunge headlong and it doesn’t even matter how many failures you meet on your way? Bobby Chacon had such a thing. He devoted his whole life to boxing and only to him. This story is about a man who does not have outstanding physical data and talents, but who loves his work more than himself, than his family, more than life.

    Bobby Chacon was born November 28, 1951 in Sylmar, California. His father abandoned the family when Bobby was very young. As a teenager, Bob was in a street gang, as a result of which he had a chance to take part in many street fights and skirmishes with the police. By the time his life seemed about to sink into street chaos, he met a girl named Valerie, who had a great influence on his entire future destiny.

    They met at one of the high schools in Sylmar. Valerie Jeanne had problems with her new teacher and wanted to leave the school. Bobby announced that he would leave with her.

    “We met in 1968 in San Fernando. She had long brown hair, long eyelashes and big eyes. All I wanted was to be with her.” recalls Bobby Chacon.

    Valerie advised Chacon to turn his passion into a profitable business – boxing. At that time, the guy was 17 years old. When Bobby was 20 years old, they got married, and a few months later they had a daughter. Bobby came to one of the gyms, but he did not have five dollars a day to fully train. Then one person said that he had a gym in his house where Chacon could train for free. This man’s name was Joe Ponce.

    His amateur career was short but successful. Already in April 1972, at the age of 21, Chacon turned professional. Hence his unusual nickname “schoolboy”.

    His first opponent, José Antonio Rosa, had a 7-0 record, but was knocked out in the fifth round. After spending 11 fights in 4 months, Bobby became the favorite of the public and the fighter of the main fights of the evening. His style combined speed, technique, strength and excellent timing, and he also had the heart of a real fighter. For this, at the very beginning of his career, he was loved by most of the boxing fans from the West Coast of the United States. Top 19For 73 years, Chacon has already broken into dozens of ratings, defeating top rivals Arturo Pineda, Frankie Crawford and former world champion Chucho Castillo.

    In June 1973, Chacon enters the ring against the great champion and most dangerous puncher Ruben Olivares, whose track record at that time included more than 70 victories. Chacon put up a decent resistance, but was twice on the floor and eventually suffered an early defeat by stoppage in the ninth round on the recommendation of trainer and manager Joe Ponce. This defeat hardened him, giving him the necessary experience. Over the next nine months, Chacon scores four victories.

    On May 24, 1974, Bobby Chacon faced another rising featherweight star, Danny Lopez, who at the time was the No. 4 ranked fighter in the world. Already from the first round, the fight turned out to be very spectacular and rich in events. In the second round, Lopez received a cut over his right eye.

    Despite Lopez’s size superiority, Chacon managed to maintain a comfortable distance for himself thanks to timing, jab and movement around the ring. From the third round, you can see how masterfully Chacon intercepts Lopez’s attacks and manages to drive his right straight into his jaw every now and then. Repeatedly, stepping back, Bobby worked with a jab, and after 2-3-4 jabs, he rested his foot and met Danny Lopez coming at him on the right. Early 9round, Chacon knocked Lopez down, and then continued to develop success by attacking him at the ropes. The duel was stopped.

    “I sparred with Lopez before the fight. He kicked my ass all the time and I learned from him. Those sparring sessions made me a better fighter. When I entered the ring, I knew what was waiting for me and was ready.

    Just four months later, Chacon became world champion, winning the vacant WBC featherweight title. 22-year-old Bobby knocked out experienced challenger Alfredo Marcano in 9 rounds. Fame and success came to him pretty quickly, but other problems came along with them. Nightlife, lots of alcohol, fast cars, women. Bobby Chacon began to pay less attention to training, and, as a result, fell out with his manager and trainer Joe Ponce, as well as with some other members of his team who had been with him since the beginning of his career.

    Half a year after winning the title, he made his first defense, making short work of Jesus Estrada. Three months later, Chacon meets for the second time with his only offender – Ruben Olivares. By that time, Olivares had already won and lost the WBA title, but was still very dangerous. A week before the fight, Bobby was 15 pounds overweight. He managed to lose weight, but on the day of the fight he was terribly pale. In the second round of the fight, Chacon was twice on the floor, the referee stopped the fight. So the “schoolboy” lost his title.

    Then came a period of depression. Chacon moved up to super featherweight and defeated a fighter with a mediocre record. In December 1975, Bobby was defeated by the then-unknown Raphael “Bazooka” Lemon, a dangerous left-hander hitter. Two fights after the battle with Lemon, in a fight with journeyman David Sotelo, Chacon was twice on the floor and, although he won, but with considerable bloodshed. After the fight, Valerie’s wife tried to persuade him to end his career.

    For nine months Chacon did not fight at all, but then he returned to the ring. Remainder 1976 years was not marked by anything, except that the “schoolboy” defeated frankly weak opponents. It became clear that Bobby had lost much of his speed and reflexes.

    In 1977, Chacon decided to return to the championship level at all costs. He makes adjustments to his lifestyle and spends six fights. Among them – the third fight with formidable rival Ruben Olivares, in which Chacon won the coveted victory by decision.

    However, at the very end of 1977 years old, Chacon loses by decision to the strong middle peasant Arturo Leon. Again there are scandals with the coach, who claims that Bobby does not follow the training regimen. The following year, 1978, he had three fights, again with rather mediocre fighters. A year later, Chacon met in the second match with “Bazooka” Lemon. In the seventh round, the fighters collided heads, Lemon had a dangerous hematoma. The fight was stopped, and according to its results, a technical draw was set. This meeting marked the beginning of the mutual enmity of the two boxers.

    On November 16, 1979, Chacón received a title shot. He meets in the ring with a strong champion – Alexis Argueyo, who had previously knocked out Lemon. Chacon started the fight pretty well and won the first five rounds. However, in the sixth round, a hematoma formed under his right eye. In the seventh round, Argueyo took control of the fight and then the doctor stopped the fight.

    “Valerie asks me to end my career. I answer: Maybe we’ll see, one more fight. She moves to a motorhome near Sacramento. She thinks it will change something.”

    Four months later, Chacon met Rafael Limon for the third time. Despite the victory, he took a lot of blows, and the fight itself turned out to be quite competitive and close. This was followed by a simple length of 10 months. But Bobby still wanted to realize his potential, and, despite the persuasion of his wife Valerie, he returned again.

    After a couple of fights, in 1981, Chacon again gets a title chance in a fight with left-handed puncher Cornelius Bosa-Edwards. Edwards was younger and significantly outnumbered the “schoolboy” in size. Chacon was considered an underdog, however, contrary to the expectations of experts, he gave Edwards a very difficult fight. Brutal exchanges took their toll and after round 12 Chacon walks into the corner with a bloody face. After round 13, Bobby Chacon’s corner refuses to continue. Edwards win. It would seem that it is time to end and live a family life with Valerie and children. But Bobby didn’t want to retire. The fight with Edwards awakened something inside him. He felt that if he had been better prepared physically, he would have achieved victory.

    Chacon fights more and starts to quarrel more and more with his wife. He loved his wife and family, but the craving for boxing was irresistible and inevitable. In early 1982, Valerie attempted suicide, but her own brother caught her in time. She spent a long time in the hospital after trying to die from an overdose.

    On March 16, 1982, right before the fight with Salvador Ugalde, Valerie begged Bobby not to go to the fight. As always, Chacon did not heed her words. The day before the fight, Valerie took a loaded gun, put the muzzle to her head, and pulled the trigger. Chacon stopped Ugalde in the third round. Valerie’s suicide meant only one thing: Boxing was all Bobby had left. Now, he didn’t burst.

    Some time later, Chacon took revenge on Arthur Leon. On December 11, 1982, he met Rafael Limon for the fourth time. The drama and intensity of this fight is almost indescribable. In rounds 3 and 11, Chacon hit the floor, but in the second half of the fight he took advantage. In the 15th round, for the first time in the history of their confrontation, Chacon managed to knock down Lemon. Following the results of 15 rounds, Chacon won the battle, becoming the world champion for the second time, almost 10 years after the first championship. The fight received the title of “Fight of the Year” according to The Ring. After the fight, Bobby said: “ I dedicate this victory to my wife. I will always love her.”

    In the next fight, in 1983, Bob met Cornelius Boza-Edwards for the second time in the ring. According to tradition, the battle turned out to be spectacular and dramatic ( and Chacon simply could not do it differently ).
