2014 Distinguished Alumna
Joanna Erdos Speaks To Graduates
When I was asked in 1979 to help organize the newly formed Alumni
Association and the school’s 50th anniversary celebration, little did I
know that 35 years later I would still be deeply involved with the alumni
association and the students of John Marshall High School.
People ask me why I devote so much time to our historic and
wonderful school. I tell them PASSION and COMMITMENT. I am
passionate about helping others and committed to helping our
school, our students, and our alumni.
When my parents came to this country from Hungary, they were
passionate about embracing the American Way. But they never forgot
the family they left behind and were committed to assisting them however they could. I helped Dad put together Care packages of items not
available in Hungary but necessary for a decent quality of life. I went
with Mom as she joined community groups such as the PTA, and the
March of Dimes, and, when she became a Girl Scout leader so my
older sisters could be Brownies, I got to tag along, too. When I got old
enough to join, I did!
So the idea of helping people was bred in me. We were taught that Joanna Erdos (center) was presented her award at
you always help others when you can. And I LOVE helping the schools graduation by outgoing Principal Daniel Harrison (left)
that gave me so much when I was a student. While in school, I also and Assistant Principal Robin Lee-Ramirez.

Marshall Gets a New Principal!
The tradition of excellence at John Marshall High is due in part to
the stability of the administration. In its 83 years, the school has only
had ten principals – a record unheard of
elsewhere in the school district. As of July
1, 2014, we add one more name to that
exclusive list: Patricia Heideman.
With the retirement of Daniel Harrison,
Ms Heideman moves into the Principal’s
Office. She comes to Marshall from
Nightingale Middle School, where she was
principal. Prior to that, she was principal at
Sal Castro Middle School. She also has
held positions as Assistant Principal at
Fairfax and Wilson high schools.
Ms Heideman began her teaching
career in North Salem, New York, where she taught Spanish.

Avenue, King Junior High, and, of course,
Marshall. I especially loved my Marshall Drama
teacher, Jerry Winesburg, and we sort of adopted
each other. His three daughters still call me his
FOURTH daughter.
From an early age, I was passionate about
Drama and the theatre. I made the commitment
to study and read and learn and I was a Theatre
major at LACC and at UCLA. I was so passionate
about theatre that I became a Drama teacher so
I could share my enthusiasm with my students.
When I became a teacher, I was thrilled to be
able to join the faculty of my alma mater. I taught
at Marshall for more than 30 years, and during
that time, my fellow staff members and I worked
to give our students a full and comprehensive
education. The bond that existed between us only
strengthened our commitment. We were, and still
are, a family, and family helps each other.
Even though I have been retired for five years,
I am still fully committed and passionate about
helping at school and in the community
When I was a student, I could hardly wait for
summer vacation to end so I could go back to
school to learn new things. So it is no wonder
that, since I loved school, I would focus on it as
my vocation and my avocation! I am grateful to
Marshall for my education and for all the friends
I made here.
Everyone needs to find something to be enthusiastic about. Life will be more fulfilling when you
find something to which you can be dedicated.
To our new alumni: I invite you to be passionate about John Marshall High School and join me
and the alumni association in our commitment to
excellence for our beautiful historic school. The
mem’ries here will last forever!
Robin Lee-Ramirez introduced Joanna Erdos

A Message From College Path LA
The new school year began in August at Marshall High School. We at CollegePath LA (CPLA) will soon meet a fresh crop
of seniors, anxiously mulling their college choices and applications. For most seniors, these essays are the highest hurdle
they face in applying to college.
That is why we need your help. Over the past two years CPLA has
organized dozens of people from the community, including many alumni, to
work with students one-on-one to support them as they develop their essays.
We have found that coaching and encouragement are so meaningful.
There will be two sessions, both on Tuesdays, 2pm – 4:30pm, October 14
and 28. Please attend as many sessions as you wish, but we are hoping you
will RSVP for both dates. There are many students who want our help.
The workshops, “Finding Your Story,” aim to help students find a topic. The
sessions will include a formal presentation to students and coaches, followed
by one-on-one meetings. Volunteers will meet with two students in shifts of
about 45 minutes each. The October workshops will be more free form—
welcoming students at any stage in their process.
We would appreciate your RSVP to the dates above as soon as possible
Marshall Alumni Speakers at College Path L.A.
so we can get a count of volunteers. Once we have more logistics nailed down, Careers in the Arts Workshops on April 1, 2014:
including our campus meeting room, we will contact you again in October. In the Row 1: Faculty Liaison Joanna Erdos, Maria

Academic Decathlon Ends the Year with Another National Title!
The Marshall Academic Decathlon Team of 20132014 continued the school’s tradition of excellence as
they competed throughout the year, eventually bringing
home their fifth national title! After winning the LAUSD
City Championship in February with a score of 55, 785.5
(of a possible 65,400), the team traveled to Sacramento in
March for the State Finals. Vying for one of two spots at
the National Finals in Honolulu, the team went up against
longtime rivals El Camino Real and Granada Hills charter
high schools. For the first time in the 33-year history of
the Decathlon, these three teams eclipsed the 52,000
point mark! Amazingly, even with these astronomical
scores, the two teams going to Honolulu were El Camino
and Granada, where they eventually took first and second
place at Nationals. However, Marshall’s third place score
at State qualified the team for the National Online competition, held in April. In that contest, our Barristers blew away
the competition with a final score of 39,461 of a possible
48,000 points, nearly 10,000 points more than the second
place team.
Coach Larry Welch and the nine members of the team were ecstatic! The team members are Aninda Bhowmick, Kimiyo
Bremer, Alexander Guillen, Kenneth Huh, Ha Min Ko, John Lascano, Wen Lee, Alayna Myrick, and Marvin Paparisto. They
were feted by the LAUSD Board of Education and by the California State Senate for their National Championship win. They
were also recognized by the Los Angeles Dodgers in an exciting ceremony held on the field before the Dodger game on
June 30.
Coach Welch is preparing a new team for the 2014-2015 competition, and we wish them success. To support our students as
they begin their championship journey, you can send your tax-deductible donation to: John Marshall High Alumni Association,
PO Box 39847, Los Angeles, CA 90039. Please mark “AcaDeca” in the memo section. You may donate online using
PayPal if you have an account. Go to www.paypal.com and send your payment to [email protected]. Please

Pete Arbogast S’72 To Be Inducted Into Southern
California Sports Broadcaster’s Hall Of Fame
The Southern California Sports Broadcasters have selected the long time Voice of the USC
Trojans, Pete Arbogast, for enshrinement into its Hall of Fame, with induction ceremonies
scheduled as part of the annual awards luncheon on Monday, January 26, 2015.
Arbogast, son of the late and long time local DJ and funny man Bob, grew up in and
around radio stations and was a sports fan from an early age, when he decided to put the
two loves together. He has been in the business since leaving USC in 1978, with stops in
Twin Falls, Idaho, along with Victorville, Visalia, Porterville and Riverside before returning
home to Los Angeles in 1984, landing a job at KNX as a sports update anchor, a job he held
there until1995.
When his predecessor, Tom Kelly (another SCSB Hall of Famer) left, Arbogast took over the reigns for USC in 1989. It's
the job he had always dreamed of having when he began practicing as a youngster, turning down the sound of televised
Trojans games and practicing his early play-by-play skills.
He has also served as a play-by-play voice for the Clippers of the NBA and the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL, has called
play-by-play for two different professional hockey teams based in Southern California and was public address announcer for
the Clippers, Dodgers and World Cup soccer. He has covered two Olympic games (Los Angeles and Seoul, South Korea).
He is a five time Associated Press Best Play-by-Play winner in Califiornia, and two-time winner for Best Newscast. He has
appeared in numerous movies and commercials.
He has won a Golden Mike and Greater L.A. Press Club award, was the Marshall’s Distinguished Alumnus for 1998. He
still does public address announcing and is the school's sports historian, a job for which he has been honored with entry
into that school's athletic Hall of Fame.
He is a 14-time finalist for the SCSB Best Radio Play-by-Play award and a 5-time finalist as part of the Best Radio Sports
Anchor Team, and was a news and sports broadcaster at KNX, KFWB, KFI, KMPC, K-News, K-Earth, KHJ, and KDAY. He
had a major hand in the creation of the very first sports radio talk format in 1984 with Sports Radio Network, which ultimately
tested and sold its ideas to the first all sports station in the country.
Arbogast and his wife Jennifer Swan live in Venice Beach with her two children, Leo and Holly. He has three children from
a previous marriage, Stephanie, K.C., and Veronica, and is a grandfather of one.
Outside of his duties with USC, he is the youth sports director and a mountain camp director for the Santa Monica YMCA
and volunteers at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica in its landmark No One Dies Alone program.

November 1, 2014 from 2pm - 5pm at the Los Feliz Public Library, located at 1874
Hillhurst Avenue, Los Angeles, 90027
We are looking for photos of vets from all eras – WWII to yesterday. If you’ve got one
of great-great-great-great grandpa in his Civil War uniform, we’ll take that too. The more
the merrier. But we are particularly looking for photos of Rodger Young Village, which
was a town of Quonset huts created in what is now the LA Zoo parking lot after World
War II to house returning vets and their families. If you lived in Rodger Young Village, you
attended Marshall. We have a few photos of kids on trikes and older brothers in uniform,
but we would like to have many more.
So dig out that old photo album, drag that shoebox out of the back of the closet, call your mom to get Dad’s and Grandpa’s
photos, and start locating those precious photos. Bring them to Photo Day November 1. We’ll scan them, take down your
story, and return your photos to you on the spot. And join us for some light refreshments and good conversation. While
you’re in the back of the closet, pull out the old uniform. If it still fits, congratulations! Wear it. If not, wear your cap.
If you can’t attend Photo Day or you just can’t wait and want to share now, please scan your photos and send them to
[email protected]. Please scan your photos at high resolution and include the story behind the photo – that’s the best part.
Join at the $150 level and receive a Marshall Alumni baseball cap. Join at the $250 level and receive a
Keepsake Ornament. Join at the $500 level and receive a Marshall Alumni Polo Shirt. Join at the $1000
level and receive all three plus a certificate suitable for framing confirming "Chief Justice" membership.
Please keep my gift and use my full donation where needed.
