IN MEMORY OF...

The Anaheim High School Alumni Association is proud to celebrate the following Colonists whose classmates and friends have made generous donations in their memory:

Faye Kern Schulz

Faye Kern Schulz
Class of 1918

After graduating from USC, Faye Kern Schultz was hired in 1922 to teach speech and social studies at her alma mater, Anaheim Union High School. She later became the drama coach and filled that role for many years. She co-wrote the school’s first musical comedy, HEIGH-HO, presented in 1928. Her co-writer was Charles Walter, who later became a Hollywood director and choreographer most noted for his work in MGM musicals and comedies. Mrs. Schulz retired in 1963 after teaching at Anaheim High School for 41 years. She is remembered by Barbara Mahaffie as “My teacher, my friend.”


Elizabeth Dickerson
Class of 1928

Elizabeth Dickerson entered the world of academia after graduating from Anaheim Union High School. She achieved the position of principal of Cypress Elementary School and later became the superintendent of the Cypress School District. She is remembered by Barbara Mahaffie as “a distinguished educator, compassionate woman and my friend.”

George Bragg '59

Class of 1959

George Bragg is remembered by his wife Marilyn Bragg. He is also eulogized by his classmate Gary Shepard who remembers George, his best friend, as “the most thoughtful and caring friend you could possibly hope for. He lived life bravely, faithfully, correctly, and as cheerfully as he could.”

Larry Taylor
Larry Taylor
Class of 1964

Larry Taylor was actively involved in the AHS drama program and Mozart Choir. After leaving Anaheim, he became a successful stage actor in New York. His classmates remember his grand entrance at their 25th reunion in 1989. Always a showman, Larry arrived in a limo, dressed in a tuxedo with his "date," Mrs. Thompson, his former drama teacher. Larry was very appreciative of her and he thanked her for the guidance that led to his acting career. Larry is remembered by his 1964 classmate Candice (Hintenberger) Linn.

COLONIST SPIRIT AWARD

It was a proud day for past and present Anaheim Colonists who were recognized at the Senior Awards Assembly. The AHSAA Scholarship Committee, headed by Jerry Woodward, presented the first Colonist Spirit Award to Kymberly Alvarez.

The $1000 Scholarship will help Kymberly who is enrolling this fall at UCLA where she will study Environmental Engineering. She was selected for her well-rounded background in academics, extra-curricular activities and pride in being a Colonist.

While at Anaheim, she started a popular student-run dance club and served as a mentor for at-risk youth. AHS English teacher Sara Wood described Alvarez as “an inspirational leader and innovator.” 

Spirit Award Finalists

2009 COLONIST STANDOUTS: (l-r) Top six finalists of the first AHSAA Colonist Spirit Award were Irvin Rodriguez, Ana Montoya, Stephanie Ibarra, Reyna Hernandez and Kymberly Alvarez. They were recognized for their outstanding achievements at the recent Senior Awards Assembly.

Our mission is to promote and support opportunities and programs for the benefit of the students at Anaheim High School. We invite all Colonists and friends to lend their support to this great and noble undertaking. Anaheim High School has a proud legacy and tradition that should be celebrated by the past, shared with the present and passed down to future generations. The goal of this association is tobring us together and allow Colonist alumni and friends to once again show their SPIRIT, PRIDE and TRADITION and “fight for Old AU!!!”
