GIVES WAY TO CONSTRUCTION TO GIVES WAY ANNUAL ALL-ALUMNI EVENT ANNUAL SEE PAGE 2 SEE PAGE Link to AMAZON * * REUNIONS Link to AMAZON 3 * REUNIONS 5 * LAST NEWSLETTER 11 "1 THE CHALLENGE IS ON! Class of 1965 Raises# the Stakes! All of us are aware of the difficulties facing students and teachers in public schools today. The media is filled with data about decreases in funding for education and state and national budget issues. It is abundantly clear that public education needs private philanthropic support if it is to compete successfully with the growing number of private institutions and to cope with the challenges of diminished State sup- #port. LAUSD has no way to disburse donated funds to an individual school. In 1985, the Uni High Education Foundation was established to address that issue. All funds that come to the UHEF go directly to Uni. #None of it goes through the District. Members of the ARTESIANS and PELEANS, the Classes of 1965, have brought a challenge to all their classmates: mark the 50th anniversary of graduation with a significant class gift. They believe that their classes can reach a goal of $1,000,000! To kick off the reunion fundraising drive, one class member has already pledged $50,000! This is an exciting campaign. The Class of 1965 had about 1,000 members, and the committee is seeking to enlist more ’65 classmates to make the effort a complete success. #Please link to www.unihi65.com to start your active support. Certainly, the goal set by the class of ’65 is high, but the time is ripe and the community is ready. For many years, UHEF has raised funds primarily through membership and the newsletter. This ambitious new campaign will initiate the model for on-going support through reunion giving. This is a challenge to all classes celebrating reunions, particularly upcoming Golden Anniversary reunions. As each of you plans to celebrate your reunion, include giving back to Uni. This way class reunions can not only be fun, #but also become a more meaningful event. Your experience at Uni was more than racing up the steps to get to class on time before the bell rang. Your education at Uni laid the groundwork for lifelong success. Help carry on the tradition of great public education that University High School has provided for all of its graduates. Meet the challenge in your own way, but meet the challenge. Annual All-Alumni Event Morphs to the Links # in 2014 The UHEF has sponsored an annual all-alumni picnic and car show at the end of September for many years. For those who came to the events it was fun seeing old friends and meeting some of the wonderful students who are at Uni today. Currently, however, Uni is under construction all over campus. For this reason, Uni cannot safely host the all-alumni event on campus #this year. The UHEF has been very happy to have this annual event. With the modernization and upgrades occurring on campus, we hope to plan future events to bring us all together. With this in mind, we are pleased to announce the inaugural Golf Tournament on April 14, 2014. Join Principal Davidson, staff, students, coaches, parents, and alumni to tee off for Uni. Check the Uni website (www.universitywildcats.org). An e-mail announcement will also be forthcoming in late Fall.

  • The Blank Theatre Theblank.Com
    WELCOME TO THE BLANK’S 26th SEASON! A Note from the Author Thank you for being here. It means the world to me. I started studying the JFK assassination when I was a teenager. It fascinated me that in one moment our whole world changed forever, and I wanted to know why. I started doing theatre when I was 4 and I have always felt that the purpose of theatre was to help better understand our world. One day I was reading Shakespeare, and then I saw it: the connections to people and situations that directly paralleled those of the JFK story. I noticed some things that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up because it seemed that Shakespeare was not just smart, but in this case almost prescient: he saw the future 350 years before it happened. And I could see that he could see it. I then went down the rabbit hole of highlighting the connections and crafting the JFK story from what he wrote, bringing in other historical pieces to ll in where he left gaps. It took a while. Like more than 20 years! One of the reasons it took so long was that I needed some information that did not yet exist. I wanted to be as historically accurate as I could be and thanks to Robert Caro’s amazing work on LBJ in 2012, I got conrmation of what I had gleaned already. The other reason it took so long was fear: This idea was too crazy! Could it possibly work? Whenever people nd out I am an “expert” on the assassination they always ask the same question, “Who do you think did it?” Well, The Tragedy of JFK (as told by Wm.
